Best for a Living-Room PC1 of 6

Logitech K400 Plus Wireless Touch Keyboard

Why we like it

It is built for a PC connected to a TV. It matches the Arteck HB305 on wireless range (33 ft). You get a unifying USB receiver connection here, which sets it apart from the Adesso and its a 2.4GHz USB receiver connection.

It also offers Windows, Android and ChromeOS support. It uses a Unifying receiver, which can also pair other Unifying mice and keyboards. 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. The touchpad replaces a mouse; check that your operating system is in the maker's support list for full gesture support. It was priced above the CZUR K5S and below the Bnnwa rechargeable at the time of writing.

Best for

Dim rooms

Arteck HB305 Bluetooth Keyboard with Touchpad

Why we like it

Arteck offers a 24-month warranty. Seven backlight colours help in a dark room, and auto-sleep saves battery. It works with Windows, macOS, Android, iPadOS and TV-connected PCs.

It charges over USB-C, and its 10-metre range covers a living room. Two brightness levels and auto-sleep stretch battery life between charges. It matches the K400 Plus on wireless range (33 ft).

You get a bluetooth connection here, which sets it apart from the Adesso and its a 2.4GHz USB receiver connection. It shares a compact keyboard layout with the CZUR K5S; the Fosmon mini goes with a mini handheld keyboard layout. You get 7-color backlight lighting here, which sets it apart from the Fosmon mini and its backlit lighting.

It connects over Bluetooth only, so the PC needs Bluetooth built in or a USB adapter. It was priced above the Bnnwa rechargeable and below the Adesso at the time of writing.

Best Multi-Device3 of 6

Bnnwa Rechargeable Wireless Keyboard with Touchpad

Bnnwa's rechargeable keyboard pairs with three devices over a receiver and two Bluetooth channels.

Best for

PC, tablet and TV box

Skip if

Pass on it if no backlighting rules it out for your setup.
Bnnwa Rechargeable Wireless Keyboard with Touchpad

Why we like it

It uses scissor keys. A 500mAh rechargeable battery removes the need for AAA cells, and it pairs with up to three devices over 2.4GHz and Bluetooth. The trackpad sits beside the keys.

Its scissor-switch keys type quietly with a short travel, and Fn shortcuts switch between iOS, Windows, Android and macOS layouts. It is the only pick here with a scissor-key compact keyboard layout; the CZUR K5S has a compact keyboard layout instead. 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. The touchpad replaces a mouse; check that your operating system is in the maker's support list for full gesture support. Its price falls between the K400 Plus and the Arteck HB305, based on our last check.

The catch

Buyers who need a confirmed wireless range should compare it with the K400 Plus, which offers 33 ft.

Best Full-Size4 of 6

Adesso Wireless Keyboard with Touchpad

Adesso's keyboard keeps a full 104-key layout with a number pad and adds a touchpad on the right.

Best for

Desk use with numbers

Look at the others if this bothers you: no backlighting.
Adesso Wireless Keyboard with Touchpad

Why we like it

It runs on two AAA batteries. On wireless range it trails the group at 30 ft, while the K400 Plus offers 33 ft. No other pick in this guide offers a 2.4GHz USB receiver connection; compare the K400 Plus, which has a unifying USB receiver connection.

It also offers 13 internet and 8 media hotkeys. The receiver is USB-A; a USB-C-only laptop needs an adapter or hub. The touchpad replaces a mouse; check that your operating system is in the maker's support list for full gesture support. It was the most expensive pick when we checked, so weigh what it adds over the Arteck HB305.

Best Handheld5 of 6

Fosmon Mini Wireless Keyboard with Touchpad

Fosmon's mini keyboard is a handheld touchpad keyboard for couch use.

Best for

Couch control

Its wireless range is not published, which rules it out if you need that number.
Fosmon Mini Wireless Keyboard with Touchpad

Why we like it

It is backlit and rated for 10 days of use per charge. No other pick in this guide offers a mini handheld keyboard layout; compare the Arteck HB305, which has a compact keyboard layout. It is the only pick here with backlit lighting; the Arteck HB305 has 7-color backlight lighting instead.

The receiver is USB-A; a USB-C-only laptop needs an adapter or hub. The touchpad replaces a mouse; check that your operating system is in the maker's support list for full gesture support. It undercut the CZUR K5S and every other pick on price at the time of writing. The maker doesn't give its wireless range; if that figure matters, the K400 Plus offers 33 ft.

CZUR's K5S is a compact Bluetooth touchpad keyboard that also works by cable.

Best for

Devices without Bluetooth

Skip it if this is a deal-breaker for you: no backlighting.
CZUR K5S Bluetooth Keyboard with Touchpad

Why we like it

It sleeps after 10 minutes idle. It shares a compact keyboard layout with the Arteck HB305; the Fosmon mini goes with a mini handheld keyboard layout. It also comes with a rechargeable battery and slightly smaller keycaps, as the maker notes.

There is no dedicated number pad, which matters if you enter figures often. The touchpad replaces a mouse; check that your operating system is in the maker's support list for full gesture support. When we checked, only the Fosmon mini cost less, and the K400 Plus cost more. If you want a confirmed wireless range, look to the K400 Plus instead: it offers 33 ft, while this one gives no figure.

How We Chose

Alex Morgan compared the manufacturer specifications, connectivity, warranty terms and compatibility of every pick. Figures come from the makers unless a third-party source is named; we did not test these products ourselves.

What to Look for in a Wireless Keyboard With Touchpad

Key buying criteria so you get the right fit the first time.

  1. How much wireless range you need

    Here wireless range runs from 30 ft on the Adesso to 33 ft on the K400 Plus, a 10% spread. Start with the K400 Plus if wireless range decides it. The Bnnwa rechargeable, the Fosmon mini and the CZUR K5S give no wireless range figure, so 3 of 6 picks are compared here.

  2. Features beyond the spec table

    The Adesso: a number pad beside the touchpad. The Fosmon mini: 50 days of standby. The CZUR K5S: sleep after 10 minutes idle.

  3. Budget

    Under $50 buys the Fosmon mini, the CZUR K5S, the K400 Plus, the Bnnwa rechargeable and the Arteck HB305; $50 to $100 buys the Adesso at our last check.

  4. Match the pick to your priority

    PCs connected to a TV: the K400 Plus. Dim rooms: the Arteck HB305. PC, tablet and TV box: the Bnnwa rechargeable.

  5. Battery rating and power type

    AA and AAA sets list battery life in months; rechargeable sets list hours or days per charge. Long ratings suit office desks, while rechargeable sets suit people who would rather plug in than buy batteries.
