What to look for
- Choose a layout you will use: full-size for number entry, 75% or tenkeyless to bring your mouse closer.
- Multi-device switching helps if you juggle a work laptop and a personal computer.
- Mechanical switches feel great but are louder; scissor keys are quieter in shared spaces.
- A wrist rest or ergonomic shape helps if you type for hours.
How much to spend
Typical prices run from £49 to £179. Budget models cover the basics; spending more usually buys quiet, precise keys that switch between three devices. Only pay for features you will use.
Who should skip what
- Skip the Logitech MX Keys S Wireless Keyboard if you love the click and feel of mechanical switches
- Skip the Keychron K2 Max Wireless if you work in shared offices where clacky keys bother people
- Skip the Logitech Wave Keys Wireless if you want a backlit keyboard or a very compact one
- Skip the Apple Magic Keyboard with if you use Windows or care about value; Touch ID doesn’t work on PCs and the price is steep
Buying tips
Logitech keyboards are frequently discounted during Prime Day, back-to-school sales and Black Friday. Keychron sells through Amazon and its own store, and its sales often line up with UK holidays. Keep receipts; Logitech offers a limited hardware warranty of one to two years depending on the model.

Frequently asked questions
Are mechanical keyboards better for typing?
Many people find them more satisfying and accurate, but they are louder and taller. Scissor-switch keyboards like the MX Keys S are just as fast for most typists.
Will a Windows keyboard work on a Mac?
Yes, though some keys are labelled differently. Keychron and Logitech include Mac layouts or key labels, which makes switching easy.
Do ergonomic keyboards help with wrist pain?
A wave or split design can reduce wrist bending. If pain persists, talk to a doctor or occupational therapist, since posture and desk height also matter.
