Best for a Living-Room PC1 of 6
Logitech K400 Plus Wireless Touch Keyboard on Amazon (opens in a new tab)
Logitech's K400 Plus puts a 76 x 47mm touchpad beside a compact spill-resistant keyboard.
Best for
- PCs connected to a TV
Skip if
- Choose another pick if you can't accept this: no backlighting.
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.
Key dimensions & specs
- Connection: Unifying USB receiver
- Keyboard battery: up to 18 months
- Wireless range: 33 ft
- Keyboard layout: Compact, no numpad
- Mouse or pointer: Built-in touchpad (76 x 47mm)
- Lighting: None
Pros

- Wireless range of 33 ft, ahead of the Adesso
Cons
- no backlighting
- Costs more than the Fosmon mini at the time of writing
Best Backlit Bluetooth2 of 6
Arteck HB305 Bluetooth Keyboard with Touchpad on Amazon (opens in a new tab)
Arteck's HB305 is a Bluetooth touchpad keyboard with a seven-color backlight that charges over USB-C.
Best for
- Dim rooms
Skip if
- If budget leads, the Fosmon mini was cheaper at our last price check.
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.
Key dimensions & specs
- Connection: Bluetooth
- Wireless range: 33 ft
- Keyboard layout: Compact
- Mouse or pointer: Built-in touchpad
- Lighting: 7-color backlight
Pros
- USB-C charging
- 24-month warranty

Best Multi-Device3 of 6
Bnnwa Rechargeable Wireless Keyboard with Touchpad on Amazon (opens in a new tab)
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 backlightin rules it out for your setup.
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. Buyers who need a confirmed wireless range should compare it with the K400 Plus, which offers 33 ft.
Key dimensions & specs
- Connection: 2.4GHz receiver, 2 Bluetooth channels
- Keyboard layout: Scissor-key compact
- Mouse or pointer: Built-in touchpad
- Lighting: None
Pros
- more than one way to connect
- Pairing with up to three devices
- 500mAh battery
- Scissor keys
Cons
- no backlighting
- No published wireless range
- Costs more than the Fosmon mini at the time of writing
Best Full-Size4 of 6
Adesso Wireless Keyboard with Touchpad on Amazon (opens in a new tab)
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
Skip if
- Look at the others if this bothers you: no backlighting.
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.
Key dimensions & specs
- Connection: 2.4GHz USB receiver
- Wireless range: 30 ft
- Keyboard layout: Full-size (104 membrane keys)
- Mouse or pointer: Built-in touchpad
- Lighting: None
Pros
- 13 internet and 8 media hotkeys
- Number pad beside the touchpad
- Two AAA batteries
- 2.4GHz USB receiver connection, the only one here
Cons
- no backlighting
- Wireless range trails the K400 Plus (33 ft)
- Costs more than the Fosmon mini at the time of writing
Best Handheld5 of 6
Fosmon Mini Wireless Keyboard with Touchpad on Amazon (opens in a new tab)
Fosmon's mini keyboard is a handheld touchpad keyboard for couch use.
Best for
- Couch control
Skip if
- Its wireless range is not published, which rules it out if you need that number.
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.
Key dimensions & specs
- Connection: 2.4GHz receiver, Bluetooth 5.2
- Keyboard layout: Mini handheld
- Mouse or pointer: Built-in touchpad
- Lighting: Backlit
Pros
- more than one way to connect
- Rechargeable battery rated for 10 days of use
- 50 days of standby
- Handheld size for couch use
Cons
- No published wireless range
Best Wired Fallback6 of 6

CZUR's K5S is a compact Bluetooth touchpad keyboard that also works by cable.
Best for
- Devices without Bluetooth
Skip if
- Skip it if this is a deal-breaker for you: no backlighting.
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.

- Keyboard layout: Compact
- Mouse or pointer: Built-in touchpad
- Lighting: None

How We Chose
Each pick was assessed across 4 criteria weighted for real-world use.
- Connection
- We recorded each set's receiver, Bluetooth or wired connection.
- Layout and mouse
- We noted the keyboard layout, number pad and mouse shape.
- Extras
- We checked hotkeys, lighting, anti-ghosting and noise claims in each listing.
- Power
- We compared listed battery ratings or rechargeable capacity.
What to Look for in a Wireless Keyboard With Touchpad
Key buying criteria so you get the right fit the first time.
Receiver, Bluetooth or cable
A USB receiver pairs out of the box and works in the BIOS; Bluetooth frees a port but needs the PC to support it. Tri-mode sets add a cable for charging and play.
Match the connection to the ports your PC or laptop actually has.
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.
Full-size or compact
A full-size board keeps the number pad for spreadsheets. A 60% to 75% board frees room for wide mouse sweeps, which matters more in games than in office work.
Operating system support
Hotkeys and software often target Windows. If you use macOS or ChromeOS, look for a listing that names it, and expect some media keys to behave differently.
Key and click noise
Membrane and silent-switch sets are quieter than mechanical blue or red switches. If you share a room or take calls, look for sets that name a silent or low-noise design.
Check the mouse shape
Many combo mice are small and ambidextrous. If you have large hands or want side buttons, check the mouse description; a right-handed contoured mouse or one with more buttons may suit you better.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do the keyboard and mouse share one receiver?
In most receiver-based combos, yes; the listing usually says one receiver pairs both. Keep it safe, since replacements are brand-specific.
Can I replace just the mouse later?
Yes. Any mouse works alongside the keyboard; you simply lose the shared receiver for the new mouse.
Do wireless combos lag?
For typing and everyday use, input delay from a 2.4GHz receiver is not noticeable for most people. Bluetooth can take a moment to wake after sleep.
Will a Windows combo work on a Mac?
Basic typing and pointing usually work. Some Windows keys map differently, and software may be Windows-only.
Are spill-resistant keyboards waterproof?
No. Spill resistance means a small spill can drain away; it does not mean the keyboard can be submerged or rinsed.
Is a wireless combo fine for gaming?
For casual play, a 2.4GHz receiver is fine. Competitive players often prefer a dedicated gaming mouse with a higher polling rate.
Bottom Line
The K400 Plus is the easy recommendation for a living-room PC. The Arteck adds a backlight and Bluetooth, the Bnnwa pairs with three devices, the Adesso keeps a number pad, and the Fosmon is the one to hold in your hands.
