What to consider when buying a wireless keyboard and mouse combo

We're willing to bet most people use a keyboard and mouse—or at least a trackpad—almost every day. It's easy to take these tools for granted, but if you spend 40 hours a week (or more) on a computer, you're probably aware that they're not all made equal.

Whether you're investing in a convenient mouse/keyboard combo to pair with a home PC, or trying to improve your laptop experience on the go, you want an ergonomically sound wireless combo with long battery life and connectivity to keep up with your needs.

Manufacturers can make whatever claims they like about the comfort or usability of their mouse/keyboard combos. That said, there are some basics worth keeping in mind.

Wired vs. wireless

The pros and cons of wireless and wired setups are simple but worth going over. Mouse and keyboard combos provide a wireless experience either with Bluetooth connectivity or via a wireless dongle that plugs into a USB port. Wired hardware needs to be plugged directly into the laptop or PC, which will also take up a USB port.

Wired products won't delay or interrupt your connection as you type or browse through websites. And while most of the time a wireless mouse/keyboard combo won't either, all wireless products can drop connectivity from time to time.

A wireless combo gives you inherent freedom of use, at the cost of worrying about battery life and potential interference. If you look at an identical mouse/keyboard set where one is wired and one is wireless, the wireless variant will usually cost more and may consume AA or AAA batteries over time—or if not, you'll at least have to keep it charged up. You're paying for the freedom to move around and minimize clutter.

To that end, a wireless combo can make a lot of sense if you value tidiness. It can also be a good choice if you need a keyboard/mouse set for multiple workstations. A good set makes it easy enough to pop in the dongle or re-pair with any laptop or PC you use. And even though you'll have to think about the battery from time to time, most options last weeks or months on a single charge.

Compatibility

While many headphones and tablet keyboards come in an OS-locked variant (Android or Apple, usually), Bluetooth connections are universal. This means the same Bluetooth keyboard and mouse combo should be compatible with Windows and other operating systems like iOS. Some, of course, don't rely on Bluetooth—instead using a 2.4GHz connection to an included USB adapter. Many of these are universal too, though it's worth double-checking before you buy.

Even if a keyboard can technically connect to a computer, that doesn't mean it was made for it. Windows and macOS computers have slightly different keys, with Windows keyboards having the Windows and Alt keys, and Mac keyboards making use of the Command and Option keys. Some keyboards allow you to change keycaps to match operating systems, though that's usually in the case of mechanical keyboards rather than those featured on this list. Keep in mind that the keys themselves are the same, no matter how they're labeled—if you connect a Windows keyboard to a Mac, pressing the Windows button registers as a press of the Command button. But it can still be confusing when the labels are wrong.

Wireless connectivity

We've discussed Bluetooth and 2.4GHz connections a few times now, but it's worth highlighting the differences between the two. Bluetooth connectivity is more or less universal and allows you to connect your keyboard just as easily as you would a pair of wireless headphones. The downside is that Bluetooth is less reliable than 2.4GHz connectivity. This has become less prominent over time as Bluetooth connectivity has improved—but 2.4GHz remains technically more reliable, and if you want the most responsive connection, it's worth keeping that in mind. Thankfully, plenty of wireless mice and keyboards support both connectivity methods.

On top of the type of connection, you'll also want to think about the number of connections your keyboard and mouse support. Lower-end keyboards and mice can typically connect to one computer only, but many high-end models support a few connections that you can toggle between as needed. This won't be helpful for everyone, especially those who plan to use their keyboard and mouse with a desktop computer all the time, but if you want to swap between machines—if you plan on using a laptop on the go, for example—multiple connections could come in handy.

Battery type

All wireless mice and keyboards need a battery of some kind. These batteries fall into one of two categories—either they're replaceable AA or AAA batteries, or they're rechargeable batteries that charge up using a built-in USB connection.

There are advantages to both. You can swap a removable battery instantly, giving a mouse or keyboard full power right away. High-quality cells can also outlast the rechargeable batteries built into a keyboard or mouse. That said, disposables are worse for the environment, and if you happen not to have them on hand, you'll be out of luck when they run out of juice.

There is a way around this, though. Buy a keyboard or mouse that takes removable batteries, then fill it with rechargeable AAs or AAAs you can swap out as they run down.

Design

Design covers how keyboard and mouse combos look, but it also shapes how they function. For starters, you might care about buying a keyboard and mouse that look good on your desk. Some are built from higher-quality materials than others, and some offer more unique designs.

Some aspects of design are perhaps more important. For example, many modern keyboards have backlit keys, allowing you to see the keys even when you're working in the dark. Not everyone will need this, especially those who use their computer during the day or who typically keep the lights on when they're working. If you do need a keyboard that you can see in darker environments, though, backlit keys are worth considering.

Feel and comfort

It's important that your keyboard is comfortable and easy to type on. You might assume that all keyboards are more or less the same when it comes to feel and comfort, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Unfortunately, while enthusiasts argue over keyboard feel, it comes down to personal preference. That means you might have to use a keyboard for a few days and return it if the feel isn't for you.

Wrist pads and a more ergonomic shape also affect comfort. Some keyboards are split keyboards that separate the keyboard into two halves, allowing you to align your arms more naturally. Some mice, like the Logitech MX Master 3S, have ergonomic shapes that feel more natural, too.

FAQ: What to know about wireless keyboard and mouse combos

Still have questions about wireless keyboard and mouse combos? You're not alone. Here are some commonly asked questions about them.

Are combos worse than buying separately?

Not at all! Combos take some of the guesswork out of buying a keyboard and mouse separately, but you can usually still buy the keyboard and mouse in a combo on their own. A combo only becomes the worse choice when one of its two components isn't the right product for you. For example, if you're interested in the Logitech MX Master 3S mouse but don't want the MX Mechanical keyboard, then it's probably worth buying the mouse on its own and finding a different keyboard that better suits your needs.

Is it cheaper to buy a combo?

Sometimes, but not always. Our best premium pick, the Logitech MX Mechanical Combo, comes at a list price of around $270. The MX Mechanical keyboard has a $170 list price, and the MX Master 3S has a $100 list price—so in that instance, the price is the same as buying the two separately. In other cases, it is cheaper to buy them together. If it's important to you that you're saving money (for example, if you're compromising on either the keyboard or the mouse to buy a combo), then it's worth double-checking the price of the included components first.

Can you use a wireless keyboard and mouse at the same time?

Yes. Most computers can connect to seven Bluetooth devices at once (though performance can degrade after three or four devices). Many wireless keyboard and mouse combos that use a 2.4GHz connection can connect the two devices to the same wireless dongle, and that won't interfere with Bluetooth performance at all. In some cases, the two devices use different dongles—but that doesn't mean they can't work at the same time; it just means you'll have to take up an extra USB port on your computer.

What are the most important things to keep in mind when buying a wireless keyboard and mouse?

The single most important consideration is compatibility. There's no point in buying a combo that doesn't work with your computer. After that, consider the feel of the keyboard—though keep in mind that you'll likely adjust to it within a few weeks. Then, you should consider the size and features of the keyboard and mouse. For example, if you need a number pad on the keyboard, make sure it's a full-size keyboard—and if you want customizability, you might want a mouse that has programmable buttons. Last but not least is price.
