Wireless Mechanical Keyboard I can Switch between PCs

decmatt · 26 Dec 2024 at 08:33

Hi

I have am currently using a Logitech G815 Wired, I am looking for a wireless keyboard I can switch (with a button click) between a Mac, Windows PC and Laptop that is similar.

Anything someone can recommend? Will be working with it so needs a number pad.

Thanks

The Logitech MX Mechanical fits. Has dedicated buttons to switch between 3 devices with symbols for Windows and Mac.

Pretty much any. Connect one PC by bluetooth and the other by wireless dongle so they connect to the keyboard on different standards. Most have this feature.

OP needs to connect 3 devices wirelessly. A USB dongle and BT allow 2 devices. Would a G915 Lightspeed allow a 3rd using wired? I think I read the USB cable is only for charging.

The MX keys has the added benefit of key symbols for Mac and Windows.

I went for the Logitech MX Mechanical and is working a treat, I just wanted a quick seamless push of button as I am working on different PCs / Macs all the time, works a treat.

Not sure the other larger variants are the same but I got a Steelseries Apex Pro mini and it’s abysmal to type on. Great for gaming but useless for working. Be wary if considering any.

I'm currently considering the Keychron V6 Max

wired takes over the "non-bluetooth" mode. There's only Bluetooth and either dongle or wired.

Great keyboard, though.

I bought my daughter the Klim Shift (60%, BT, 2.4 & Wired). BT mode lets you choose between three connections (Fn + Q, W or E).

I was impressed at the value (£45 for the UK/ISO version currently).

Edit: just realised you need a numberpad; I think most "Trimode" keyboards will have the option to switch between three Bluetooth devices, or use one with the BT and the other with the 2.4Ghz dongle (probably pick this for the gaming PC where lower latency is preferable)
