Best keyboard

Logitech MX Keys Advanced Wireless Illuminated Keyboard 

The Logitech MX Keys Advanced Wireless Illuminated Keyboard is the best keyboard you can buy, because it checks so many boxes. This is a mechanical keyboard, but not the best mechanical keyboard. It also works on both macOS and Windows with ease, and it’s wireless. Not to mention the fact that it has a dedicated number pad.

Since this is a Logitech keyboard, it also has Flow functionality. What this means is that you can use it multiple devices at the same time. This is really cool for copying things from a phone to a computer, or to type on multiple devices at the same time.

At $99, this a pretty decent price for the Logitech MX Keys Advanced keyboard. As many others on this list are going to cost more.

Best RGB Keyboard

Corsair K55 RGB Gaming Keyboard

The Corsair K55 RGB Gaming Keyboard is a RGB keyboard that is also a mechanical keyboard. Which is going to be good for gaming, but also looks really cool on your desk. It has a built-in wrist pad that is going to make it super comfortable to type on, on your desk, which is always nice to have.

Surprisingly, it is also dust and water-resistant at IP42. So if you do spill your drink on your keyboard, you aren’t totally screwed, which is some good news for most people. For the gamers out there, the Corsair K55 RGB Gaming Keyboard also has six macro keys that are programmable as well.

Best e-Sports Keyboard

SteelSeries Apex 7 TKL Compact Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

SteelSeries is pretty well-known for its gaming products, and this gaming keyboard is really no different. The SteelSeries Apex 7 TKL Compact Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is a great looking gaming mechanical keyboard that offers up some sweet RGB lighting too.

What sets this one apart though is the mini OLED smart display that is on the right side of the keyboard. It is an integrated command center for adjusting settings and tracking on the fly info straight from your game, Spotify, discord, and more. Which, is actually really cool. Imagine interacting with Discord without leaving your game.

For those interested, these use Red Switches for the mechanical keys.

Best Ergonomic Keyboard

Logitech Ergo K860 Wireless Ergonomic Keyboard

You’re going to be at your desk for a while, if you’re working from home. So you’ll want to be comfortable. And you’ll want a very ergonomic keyboard. Luckily, the Logitech Ergo K860 Wireless Ergonomic Keyboard is very ergonomic. In fact, it’s even in the name. And this particular one has a wrist pad built-in, making it even more comfortable.

This is going to take a few days to get used to typing on, but once you do get used to it, it’s going to be amazing.

This is a wireless keyboard, but it does not use Bluetooth. Instead, the Logitech Ergo K860 Wireless Ergonomic Keyboard uses a USB dongle. So you’re going to want to make sure you don’t lose that one.

Best Mechanical Keyboard

HyperX Alloy Origins

The HyperX Alloy Origins is a really good mechanical keyboard that you can pick up and use for gaming too. Now, this keyboard doesn’t have the macros of some of the other keyboards on this list. So it’s not perfect for gaming, but it’ll get the job done.

As with most mechanical keyboards, this does also have RGB available, for some really cool colors and to give your desk a bit of color.

The HyperX Mechanical Switches are rated for over 80 million keystrokes. So this should keep you going for quite some time – or at least until the office opens up again. This is also a great keyboard because it does have the dedicated number pad on the right.

Best for Mac Users

Apple Magic Keyboard

All of the keyboards on this list do work with the Mac, but this is still the best option for Mac users. This has all of the Mac functionality built right in, and it pairs seamlessly. Not to mention the fact that it also has some pretty incredible battery life. We’re talking months on a charge.

Now unlike its laptops, the Magic Keyboard still uses the Scissor switches and not the Butterfly switches. So you won’t have any problems with this keyboard dying after a while.

For Mac users this keyboard is so great because it has the same layout as their laptops’ keyboard, making it pretty seamless. And those scissor switches are really nice too.

Best minimal keyboard

Artech 2.5G Wireless Keyboard

This is the cheapest keyboard on this list, by a long shot. But it is also the most minimal keyboard on this list. Offering up a pretty low profile, the Artech 2.5G Wireless Keyboard is great for those with a smaller work space, or those that just want to stay minimal. Making it one of the best keyboards for working from home.

The Artech 2.5G Wireless Keyboard uses a USB dongle for wireless connectivity. So there’s no Bluetooth here, which is what likely makes this keyboard so cheap, honestly.

This is a stainless steel keyboard and would work great for your laptop, phone, TV or anything else that needs a keyboard.
