Not so long ago, using anything
wireless with a PC gaming
setup was a small heresy.
Gamers terrified of their
inputs, um, inputting even thousandths-ofa-
second slower put their trust in good
old-fashioned copper wiring. But these
days wireless keyboards abound, as do
designs made specifically for PC gaming.
And unless you’re some kind of computer
yourself, you won’t be able to tell the
difference in performance.
Wireless gaming keyboards do tend to be
on the expensive side, even more so than their
wired progenitors. So if you’re going to get
one, it makes sense to research to ensure you
are getting the best wireless gaming keyboard
for your needs. Or go for a budget model—
because frankly, gaming gear from the major
names is often ridiculously overpriced anyway.

BEST WIRELESS
GAMING KEYBOARD
OVERALL: RAZER
BLACKWIDOW V3 PRO
The latest in a long line of high-end
keyboards called BlackWidow, this
particular model pulls out all the stops. In
addition to dual Bluetooth and RF wireless
for multi-device connectivity, it comes in a
full-size frame with a 10-key area and
robust media controls. Razer’s typical light
show is on display, but the real star is the
switches, high-quality hall-effect designs that
come in smooth linear (yellow) or loud and
clicky (green) varieties. The package includes
BEST 60% WIRELESS
GAMING KEYBOARD:
CORSAIR K70 RGB PRO
WIRELESS MINI
Those looking for the tiniest gaming keyboard
around might have to squint a little to see the
diminutive K70 Pro Wireless Mini. This 60%
design is as small as mainstream keyboards
come while still packing in full high-end
functionality, including hot-swappable
switches for the ultimate in mechanical
customization (even though the included
“speed silver” switches are already pretty
great). The keyboard includes a dazzling light
show and both RF and Bluetooth wireless, as
well as a secondary space bar for even more
bling. Just be aware that you’re paying quite a
lot for this board, and that some may find its
programming options lacking, especially for a
super-small design.
