Best wireless and bluetooth keyboards in Australia 2020

Buy at Kogan

Why we chose it

Logitech's K780 Multi-Device Wireless is our pick for the best wireless keyboard in Australia. The key appeal is that it's designed to work across a multitude of devices, from your laptop to your tablet all the way down to your phone. Three different pairing indicators on the keyboard let you switch on the fly, and it supports both Bluetooth and USB wireless connectivity with a bundled receiver.

Reviewers did note the lack of key backlighting and the small key travel on the K780. However, as a jack of all trades, covering wireless, Bluetooth, multi-device and portability uses, it's hard to look past the Logitech K780 Multi-Device Wireless Keyboard.

Best budget wireless keyboard: Logitech K230 Wireless Keyboard

Comfortable typing
Good connectivity through 2.4Ghz receiver

Small arrow keys
No caps lock or num lock indicators

Average online RRP: $39.95

Why we chose it

When you start looking at the budget wireless end of the market, you're automatically looking into a space where the one key feature you're likely to get is wireless connectivity and not a whole lot else. After all, fancy features cost real money. Logitech has a lot of much fancier gear in the wireless keyboard space, but if you only want the freedom from wires, the K230 Wireless Keyboard could be all you need at a much lower price than many of its more technically adept models.

There are even cheaper wireless keyboards on the market, but many cheaper models skimp on typing comfort. Reviewers noted the quick set-up and solid connection of the K230 keyboard via Logitech's USB receiver, as well as its soft and comfortable keys.

Best wireless keyboard for gaming: Corsair K83 Wireless Entertainment Keyboard

Supports wired, wireless and Bluetooth connectivity
Includes multimedia and gaming controls

Some games won't work well with its controls
Very wide for use on your lap

Average online RRP: $200.00

Why we chose it

If you're in the mood to spend a little more to get a little more, the Corsair K83 Wireless Entertainment Keyboard may be the right match for you. It supports connection via 2.4Ghz wireless or Bluetooth, or even via a cabled connection if that suits your needs over time. The 2.4Ghz connection makes it a good choice for gamers or folks who want a fast connection, with a 1,000Hz polling rate which means it won't miss a critical keystroke if you're using it for high-speed gaming purposes.

It also rates well with reviewers for the wide range of media keys, trackpad and even a small analog stick, although some reviewers did note that this may not be useful across all gaming functions.

Best ergonomic wireless keyboard: Microsoft Wireless Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard

Very comfortable
Large detachable wrist rest

You'll type very slowly while you get used to it
Not great for gaming due to unusual keyboard layout

Price (RRP): $179.95

Buy at Microsoft

Why we chose it

Like most ergonomic keyboards, Microsoft's take does involve a slightly unusual shape, and there's a learning curve when you first start to type on it. However, once you get over that hill, you realise just how well it's designed, with comfortable keys that give a surprising amount of response with very little travel. It's also rather nice and light if you're going to use it from a distance away from its paired PC, and the keys have a soft touch which means they're not terribly noisy when typing fast.

It's typically sold as a duo with Microsoft's Sculpt Mouse, which might not suit you if you only want the keyboard, and the number pad is its own standalone unit, but it's flat and not in any real way ergonomic if you rely on it for a lot of your work.
