A keyboard with a built-in touchpad controls a living-room PC or a small desk without a separate mouse. Every pick has a touchpad.

We ranked these keyboards on paired devices, layout and key type using manufacturer specifications; we did not test these keyboards ourselves, and where a maker leaves out paired devices, we say so.

Skip if

Look at the others if this bothers you: wired only.

Why we like it

It sleeps after 10 minutes idle. It is the only pick here with a bluetooth or wired USB connection; the Bnnwa multi-device has a bluetooth and 2.4GHz connection instead. You also get OS shortcuts for Mac/iOS, Windows and Android, a rechargeable battery and a wired mode.

Check that your computer has Bluetooth, or use the included receiver if there is one. Being wired, it needs no pairing or charging, which suits shared desks and IT-managed PCs.
