We’re living in a golden age of wireless keyboards. In the past few months, Microsoft and Apple have both released much needed upgrades on their previous wireless keyboards. And other third-party manufacturers are making minimalist, ergonomic and reliable alternatives to choose from as well. As we strive towards a more a productive, clutter-free and adaptive workspace, wireless keyboards are the future. Here are our favorites of 2017.
Microsoft Modern Keyboard
If you own a PC: Microsoft released its latest wireless keyboard in summer 2017. It’s almost identical to the company’s previous wireless keyboard, the Surface Keyboard ($100), but packs a hidden fingerprint reader located between the Alt and Ctrl keys. The extra security feature is a neat touch, especially for those super protective of their keyboards. Another difference: Unlike the older Surface Keyboard, the Modern keyboard can also work as a wired keyboard. It works with both Windows 10 devices and MacOS devices.
Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad
If you own a Mac: In 2017 Apple finally upgraded its wireless keyboard, the Magic Keyboard, by making it bigger and better. As the name suggests, the Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad adds a number pad, but it also adds more functions keys, up/down page buttons, as well giving the four navigation arrows more space (instead of hiding the shift key). Additionally, the keyboard charges via the Lightning cable you already own.
