Title pretty much sums it up. Wondering what the best Tenkeyless and standard wireless mechanical keyboards are. Cheers!

I have only experienced the Corsair K63 wireless personalIy. I picked up a couple of weeks ago and I absolutely love it so far.


Cherry reds and although it’s plastic throughout it feels solid. No issues mashing del key to get to the bios and seems very responsive in both typing and gaming. This and the Logitech g403 make a nice wireless kb mouse combo.

Nice! Definitely a nice price. Crap I have always wanted to try a 60% kb and it looks like the Drevo has some diff switch options. Blacks seem interesting to me. MUST RESIST. BT seems to get less love from the gamer crowd for latency reasons but for a HTPC or the light gamer it may be fine.

I've found the Anne Pro to be very popular, it also has its own subreddit. The only reason I havent got one is because I have no experience with such a company keyboard. Filco also makes one or two wireless keyboards that have decent reviews online.

I threw away a overloaded box of these mechanical keyboard back in the late 90s. You're telling me they're worth $100+ a pop now? What the hell?

Alongside this question - is there a full sized (with tenkey, because I'm not a pleb), wireless KB with MX Browns?

Your experience with Bluetooth is heavily going to depend on the devices you're using, including your computer's Bluetooth receiver and possibly the positioning of any antennae.

That keyboard has the latest and greatest Bluetooth, 4.0, which is pretty good. If you have a quality Bluetooth receiver (that has decent conditions, i.e. isn't behind tons of thick steel panels of a computer case) you should have a fine couch-to-computer experience. I'd think.

After researching today, I was actually kind of leaning towards the Filco Convertible 2 TKL since I love my Majestouch 2 TKL. Just need to figure out the difference between Cherry Blacks and Browns.

HW Canucks just made a video about it, it looks like an awesome wireless TKL board:

The one thing scaring me away from the Corsair is the unnecessary bulk they chose to add so they could put their ugly logo on it.

Resident HHKB god here.

Go with the Filco Convertible and pick yourself up a dope PBT keyset because ABS is literally ass to type on. Maybe in orange to match your S4 build.

Edit: Also, to answer your question about switches. Blacks are a linear switch with no tactile feedback (these are essentially reds but with a heavier spring and might be my personal favorite Cherry switch). Browns are a tactile switch with a little bump in each depression of the switch.

If you have the ability to test out switches before buying, do it.

Very happy with my logitech G613. Not cherry keys but they feel great and it has been a seamless experience so far. Got it for 50% off on black black 2017!

You could pry that Corsair logo plate right off and put a sweet Kmpkt logo on there instead :cool:

I do agree the body could be slimmer. Also Corsair using non ‘standard ‘ key spacing makes it less customizable as @Thehack mentioned. I would like it to come down to under 100usd as well. But it has been performing well and I am definitely satisfied so far.
