The Best Wireless Gaming Keyboard and Mouse Sets
Five wireless gaming keyboard and mouse sets, from a budget rechargeable pair to a tri-mode Redragon with a screen in the keyboard.
By Alex Morgan, PC Hardware Editor
12 min read5 products evaluated
Buying a gaming keyboard and mouse as a set saves a USB port and usually money, but the sets differ more than their photos suggest. Some connect only through one 2.4GHz receiver, others add Bluetooth and a cable; some list battery capacity in mAh and others leave it out.
We researched five wireless sets from their Amazon listings. We did not test them, and where a listing does not state a figure, such as a battery capacity, we leave it out rather than estimate it.

Our Picks
Best Tri-Mode Value1 of 5
Redragon 75% Tri-Mode Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo
Redragon's 75% combo connects both pieces over 2.4GHz, Bluetooth or cable, and backs them with a 4000mAh keyboard battery and a 700mAh mouse battery.
Best for
- Players who switch between a PC and a laptop.
Skip if
- If budget leads, the CHONCHOW wireless was cheaper at our last price check.
Why we like it
The mouse reaches 12,800 DPI through software, and the 75% board leaves more room for mouse sweeps than a full-size one. On maximum mouse sensitivity it leads this guide at 12,800 DPI, ahead of the K719 PRO combo (8,000 DPI). No other pick in this guide offers a 75% keyboard layout; compare the S142, which has a full-size K515 PRO membrane keyboard layout.
A rechargeable gaming mouse or pointer is unique to it among these picks, while the S142 uses a wireless gaming mouse or pointer. The receiver is USB-A; a USB-C-only laptop needs an adapter or hub. There is no dedicated number pad, which matters if you enter figures often. On price it sat fourth of 5, between the cheaper S142 and the pricier K719 PRO combo, at the time of writing.

Best Premium Set2 of 5
Redragon K719 PRO Anime Keyboard and Mouse Combo
The K719 PRO combo is Redragon's showpiece: a gasket-mount mechanical keyboard with a small TFT screen built in, paired with a nine-button 8000 DPI mouse.
Best for
- A desk centrepiece with room in the budget.
Skip if
- Price-first buyers should look at the CHONCHOW wireless, which cost less when we checked.
Why we like it
Both are tri-mode, so the set can move between a PC over the dongle and a laptop over Bluetooth. The keyboard's TFT screen shows battery, connection and custom GIFs, and both devices connect over USB-C, Bluetooth or 2.4GHz. It suits a themed desk as much as daily typing.
On maximum mouse sensitivity it sits mid-pack at 8,000 DPI: the Redragon 75% combo offers 12,800 DPI, and the RisoPhy comes in at 3,200 DPI. You get a nine-button gaming mouse or pointer here, which sets it apart from the CHONCHOW wireless and its a rechargeable mouse or pointer. The receiver is USB-A; a USB-C-only laptop needs an adapter or hub. It was the most expensive pick when we checked, so weigh what it adds over the Redragon 75% combo.

Best for Macros3 of 5
Redragon S142 Wireless Gaming Keyboard and Mouse
Redragon's S142 puts four onboard macro keys on a wireless K515 PRO membrane keyboard, with 26 anti-ghosting keys for overlapping inputs.
Best for
- MMO and strategy players.
Skip if
- Skip it if price comes first: the CHONCHOW wireless cost less when we checked.
Why we like it
The included wireless mouse tops out at 4800 DPI, and one receiver covers the set. Its 4,800 DPI maximum mouse sensitivity ranks third of 4 here, behind the Redragon 75% combo (12,800 DPI) and ahead of the RisoPhy (3,200 DPI). A full-size K515 PRO membrane keyboard layout is unique to it among these picks, while the CHONCHOW wireless uses a full-size (104 keys) keyboard layout.
It is the only pick here with a wireless gaming mouse or pointer; the Redragon 75% combo has a rechargeable gaming mouse or pointer instead. You get backlit lighting here, which sets it apart from the CHONCHOW wireless and its RGB lighting. The receiver is USB-A; a USB-C-only laptop needs an adapter or hub. It was priced above the RisoPhy and below the Redragon 75% combo at the time of writing.

Best Metal Build4 of 5
RisoPhy Wireless Gaming Keyboard and Mouse
RisoPhy's set gives a receiver-based full-size keyboard a metal top panel and RGB lighting, and both pieces charge over USB-C instead of taking disposable cells.
Best for
- A full-size board that feels sturdier.
Skip if
- Skip it if maximum mouse sensitivity matters most to you; the Redragon 75% combo offers 12,800 DPI.
Why we like it
The rechargeable mouse steps up to 3200 DPI. Its 3,200 DPI maximum mouse sensitivity is the lowest in this group; the Redragon 75% combo leads at 12,800 DPI. You get a full-size with metal panel keyboard layout here, which sets it apart from the Redragon 75% combo and its a 75% keyboard layout.
Like the CHONCHOW wireless, it has a rechargeable mouse or pointer, while the K719 PRO combo uses a nine-button gaming mouse or pointer. You also get USB-C charging. The receiver is USB-A; a USB-C-only laptop needs an adapter or hub. When we checked, only the CHONCHOW wireless cost less, and the S142 cost more.

Best Budget Rechargeable5 of 5

Best for
- A first wireless gaming setup.
Skip if
- Skip it if you need to know its maximum mouse sensitivity before buying; the maker doesn't publish one.
Why we like it
It was the lowest-priced set here at the time of writing. You get a full-size (104 keys) keyboard layout here, which sets it apart from the Redragon 75% combo and its a 75% keyboard layout. Like the RisoPhy, it has a rechargeable mouse or pointer, while the S142 uses a wireless gaming mouse or pointer.
The receiver is USB-A; a USB-C-only laptop needs an adapter or hub. No other pick here cost less at our last price check, and the RisoPhy was closest. If you want a confirmed maximum mouse sensitivity, look to the Redragon 75% combo instead: it offers 12,800 DPI, while this one gives no figure.
