The Best Wireless Keyboard and Mouse of 2020

The Logitech MK850 Performance was our favorite back in 2017 and, despite everything to come out since then, it's still top dog where most users are concerned. These high-quality peripherals won't look out of place on any desk and they feel as great as they look. We found that the mouse in this set was very similar to the expensive Logitech MX Master, one of the best mice you can buy. It's an ergonomic, fully-featured mouse that won't hurt your hand after hours of work.

The keyboard feels nice to type on, as it doesn't have overly-long key throws. Its comfortable wrist rest and adjustable rear feet let you use it flat or at a 4- or 8-degree angle. Labels for Windows and Mac keyboard shortcuts are good for users with all kinds of mainstream PCs, and the ability to pair the keyboard and mouse with three devices (either with Logitech's USB Unifying Receiver or Bluetooth) make this set the most flexible by far.

That unified design is another great reason to buy one of these sets over the more expensive options like Microsoft's Surface line of keyboards and mice or Apple's keyboard and Magic Mouse combo. Though we love the design language used by Microsoft and Apple for those products, they're not available as a set, driving the cost up to well over $200 for either option.

Don’t let the Xbox branding fool you. Razer’s Turret lapboard works perfectly well with Windows PCs, too. It’s much different from anything else we’ve tested for this list. It’s a tenkeyless (number pad-free) mechanical keyboard with a comparatively superpowered gaming mouse. It also has programmable RGB backlighting.

In many ways, the Turret is my favorite pair on this list. Its clicky, mechanical keys have longer travel and a more comfortable feel than most keyboards made for a combo. While its large aluminum covered base looks quite heavy, the Turret is well-balanced and rests in your lap naturally, unlike the productivity-focused alternatives here, which are meant for a desk. Plus, it has a slide-out mousepad that magnetically keeps the mouse from sliding to the floor.

There are also definite drawbacks. Razer’s configuration software doesn’t work on Mac, so it's a de facto Windows-only product. The projected battery life (11-43 hours for the keyboard and 30-50 hours for the mouse according to the manufacturer) isn’t anywhere close to what Logitech is offering. Again, there’s no number pad, which some work-focused folks will miss.

Plus, while you can set it to standard white backlighting, it has Razer’s signature gaming-focused look, which may not be appropriate for the office. And for all those caveats, it’s also the most expensive combo on this list at $249.99. Still, if you’re looking for something to use at home on media PC hooked up to your TV (or, yes, an Xbox One), this is a good all-in-one solution that excels at work and play.

This keyboard and mouse pair is a perennial top-seller on Amazon— at this point it has over 17,000 reviews, many of which are positive —and it lives up to the hype. If you don't need a fancy keyboard and mouse, you can't go wrong with this sub-$30 combo. Logitech really knows how to make great, affordable PC accessories, and this is one of them.

In our typing test, I was able to sustain speeds over 80 wpm (words-per-minute) without much trouble. The only downside is that the mouse is dinky and better suited to a child's hand than a grown person's, but for the price, you're not likely to mind much. This set comes with the AA and AAA batteries you'll need to power it and utilizes a number of handy features, such as how the USB dongle is stored in the mouse when you're not using it.

Lastly, if you're a power user who doesn't want to spend big bucks on a mouse/keyboard combo, you can still get quite a bit done with this set. The keyboard has eight programmable hot keys, meaning you can set them up to access frequently used programs. One last thing to note is that the MK270 is not a "unifying" keyboard/mouse set, though it originally was. This means that the dongle is not a universal Logitech variety and will only work this particular combo—something to keep in mind if you had thought you'd use it with legacy dongles.

This one’s an Amazon user favorite, but I’m not sure why. The Jelly Comb Ultra-Thin wireless looks like a knockoff of Apple’s Magic Keyboard and mouse. While it deserves credit for providing strong, lag-free connectivity at a very low price, that’s all you can really say.

The keyboard is shoddily built (my V key came stuck out of the box) and the mouse is tiny to the point where my average-sized hands started cramping up within an hour. I admit that I’m a bit of mouse and keyboard snob (I review a lot of them, but this is one of the worst keyboard/mouse sets I’ve ever used).
