The RadioTimes.com website is a judgement free zone, so if you’re still working from your early lockdown, makeshift desk at home, we understand.

Once you’ve gotten used to being uncomfortable every working day for the past two years — whether that’s on your kitchen table or a mini desk in the corner of your bedroom — it’s almost comforting. And with little space comes sacrifice. That’s why we’ve banished the cables in these top keyboard and mouse picks to bring you wireless ones only.

For those of you with home offices (lucky!) and for people who are back in the office, there’s no harm in browsing wireless keyboards and mice, even if you do have the desk space for unnecessary cables. In fact, we encourage it.

A good keyboard and mouse go a long way; they improve every day performance, and could you imagine anything worse than a sticky keyboard or lagging mouse when you’re working towards a deadline? That’s a recipe for frustration at the very least.

Wireless keyboards and mice remove the added clutter of a cable, and they work in two ways: Bluetooth or USB. Some come with a wireless transceiver which plugs into a USB port on your PC, and with these, you’re basically guaranteed a trouble-free connection. Some work with your computer’s built-in Bluetooth connectivity.

Regardless of which type you choose — and it will certainly, partially depend on whether your PC supports Bluetooth connectivity — you need to make sure the wireless keyboard and wireless mouse have a long battery life and good connectivity.

We’ve selected 16 options below in a range of styles and to suit a variation of budgets, and from huge names like Logitech and Microsoft to more low-key brands. No matter what device you have or what you use that device for — whether it’s for work or play — there’s a wireless keyboard and mouse for everyone in our list. Let’s take a look at how to choose the best wireless keyboard and wireless mouse for you.

How to choose the best wireless keyboard and mouse

There are a few things to consider when choosing the best wireless keyboard and wireless mouse. The first is USB or Bluetooth.

Many desktop PCs don’t support Bluetooth, so USB might be your only option. A USB is great for trouble-free connection, however you will use up a port (and they’re pretty limited anyway). Then ,if you lose the wireless transceiver, you’re screwed. Most Macs come with built-in Bluetooth capability which means you won’t lose a port, and once you’ve done the initial connection between the Mac and the wireless keyboard and mouse, it will work as soon as you launch the device.

Think about what you’re using the wireless keyboard and wireless mouse for, too: is it for work or for play? If it’s for gaming, there may be some features on a gaming-specific keyboard or mouse that are paramount for the overall gaming experience.

Also, how big is your desk? If you’re a gamer, it’s likely you’ll have a larger set-up than most people, so could afford to purchase a chunkier mouse or keyboard.

Consider what you like. By now, you probably have an idea of what thickness of keys you prefer and which style of mouse is best for you. Like we said earlier, a keyboard and mouse are vital for the overall performance of your whole set-up, so it’s important you get it right! Here are the best wireless keyboards and wireless mice to buy in 2022.
