Best Wireless Keyboards of 2022
The Best Wireless Gaming Non-Gaming Keyboards Available
As we’ve mentioned in previous articles, keyboards are now widely considered to be one of the most essential additions to any gaming rig. The number of features you can pack onto a keyboard is at an all-time high, and you can gain a serious edge over the competition by having them.
The latest hurdle in the quest for the ultimate keyboard is to try and make the best gaming keyboards wireless. Now, I know what you’re thinking. Wireless keyboards don’t bring the same performance levels as wired, mechanical boards. They don’t have the same responsiveness, and they definitely come with latency issues.
Well, historically, that would have been true. However, in today’s peripheral marketplace, brands such as Logitech and Corsair would definitely have something to say to those doubters. Let’s take a first look at what’s in store.

The Best Wireless Keyboards of 2020 & 2021
In-depth Review
CORSAIR K63 Wireless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
CORSAIR K63 Wireless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
The Corsair K63, once again, makes an appearance in one of our best-of keyboard guides. This is the second time we’ve seen the K63 and for good reason – it’s a superb little gaming keyboard.
Corsair has designed the K63 with a subtle gaming look that takes advantage of its already popular brushed aluminum and blue LED lighting theme. We’ve seen this design on other keyboards in the range before, and it’s clearly something the consumer is right on board with. Sorry for the pun. The board comes with a decent wrist rest and some high-profile keys which (for me) felt great. The keys are tactile and offer good actuation pressure for someone typing or gaming. The feel of these switches is well balanced, making them ideal for both gaming and typing.
The wireless technology in the K63 features an ultra-fast 1ms 2.4GHz connection which provides excellent responsiveness. I used this board for a couple of weeks and experienced no latency issues what so ever.
It’s not just wireless technology that gives this keyboard the number one spot though. It also comes with some cool gamer specific features such as Cherry MX switches, Macro keys, Corsairs iCUE software, dedicated media keys, windows lock key, a detachable wrist rest, and 100% anti-ghosting with key rollover.
If you’re looking for the best wireless gaming keyboard then look no further, Corsair has once again knocked it out the park with this superb offering.
OBINSLAB ANNE PRO 2
OBINSLAB ANNE PRO 2
The Anne Pro 2 from Obinslab was a new keyboard to us, but one that had been gathering an online reputation. For this reason, we decided to purchase one and test it. The results were quite surprising; in a good way.
The price of this keyboard isn’t exactly low, and it currently retails for just under $150, that being said though, this keyboard feels and looks pretty damn good. The Anne Pro 2 is a 60% keyboard that leaves no room for unnecessary space. Every inch of this board is used for a key. I like the design.
We wasted no time at all and threw the Anne Pro 2 into a gaming scenario, and to my surprise, it handled itself very well. Key presses felt responsive, and the actuation required to get a reaction was pretty much bang on. I suppose you would expect nothing less at this price point though.
Obinslab has given you the choice of several different switches, so you chose exactly how you want this thing to feel and perform before you purchase it.
It comes with some functionality and media keys to boot. In-game binds can be easily customized using the software provided and allows consumers to change everything from binds to RGB.
The Anne Pro 2 gets our runner up spot and for good reason. It really is a superb board.
Logitech G613 Lightspeed Wireless Mechanical keyboard
Logitech G613 Lightspeed Wireless Mechanical keyboard
Logitech’s G613 is their first entry in this list of best wireless keyboards and one that offers up excellent performance at an affordable price point.
The G613 is, for lack of a better term, an all-round keyboard which would be great for both gaming and office use. It has a design that doesn’t lean towards one or the other and has enough functionality to accommodate all of your gaming needs.
The wrist rest feels great and offers good support for those long gaming sessions. However, if you intend to use this for office use, don’t worry, the rest feels great for that too. Not to mention the quiet Romer-G mechanical switches that aren’t going to annoy the entire office block.
The six programmable macro keys have been positioned down the left-hand side of the board and can be used for in-game binds. By adding these extra keys, the board does look quite bulky when comparing to other keyboards out there though.
The main feature of this board is undoubtedly the LIGHTSPEED wireless connection that it comes equipped with. It offers extremely high responsiveness, which is great for gaming scenarios where accuracy and reactions are key.
Overall, a board that displays superb value for money and one that should be high on anyone’s wireless keyboard wishlist.
Logitech G915 Wireless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
Logitech G915 Wireless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
Logitech’s second entry into this guide of best wireless keyboards is the massively impressive G915. This is by far the most expensive board on this list, but what you get for that price is unrivaled durability, superb aesthetics, and brilliant performance. This really is a Rolls Royce keyboard.
Unlike the G613 where the LIGHTSPEED wireless feature was the main draw, on the G915, it’s just another premium feature to add to the never-ending list. Features of this board include *deep breath*; LIGHTSPEED wireless, LIGHTSYNC technology, Low profile GL mechanical switches, fantastic aesthetics, dedicated G-keys, versatile connectivity, 30hour+ battery life, newly designed multimedia keys, and onboard memory profiles. That’s without touching on in-game performance or build quality either.
I primarily used this board in the office for typing and light gaming. It’s safe to say that the low-profile design did take a little bit of time to get used to, however, if you’ve ever used a laptop you’ll feel comfortable from the word go. Once I got used to the board, I found typing quite pleasurable. This was mostly thanks to the switches I chose prior to purchase. You have the option to choose between clicky, linear, and tactile switches.
I only had a chance to use the G915 for a short period of time for gaming, but when I did, it’s quality soon shined through. Even with the office relevant switches, it still gave excellent responsiveness and accuracy. I didn’t manage to make use of the G-keys. However, their positioning was perfect for gamers wanting to add additional key binds to their arsenal.
Ultimately, the G915 is the luxury keyboard on this list. The build quality and feature scream premium standards. As with all things premium though, they usually come with a high price tag to boot. This is certainly the case with the G915.
Apple Magic Keyboard
Apple Magic Keyboard
The Apple Magic keyboard is something we decided to showcase because it’s the best Apple have offered their customers in a long time.
From a design point of view, the latest Magic keyboard offers an extremely sleek style that suits their branding perfectly. Of course, they’ve stuck with their white-on-silver theme, which we think looks excellent. The keyboard looks pretty compact which again, fits into their style quite nicely, and offers a luxurious feel.
The scissor-switch keys offer a pretty snappy feel which feels great no matter how long you plan on typing for. The addition of the multimedia keys adds further functionality.
If you’re in the market for a wireless Apple keyboard, we highly recommend the new Magic keyboard.
Final Word
We never thought we’d see the day when we would actually recommend wireless keyboards to the gaming community. That being said, here we are. We’re pretty happy with the selection we’ve chosen and feel they do actually offer great performance for both office or gaming purposes.
The wireless keyboard has finally come up to speed in a time where technology is moving faster than ever. I firmly believe they have a real place within the gaming sector.
