Spec me: Wireless gaming keyboard + mouse with single receiver

MrRockliffe · 17 Feb 2022 at 20:16

As per the title, I'm looking for a wireless keyboard and mouse which supports one of the quicker wireless connections.

It doesn't need to be mechanical, but I don't want linear switches. Also needs to be TKL if possible.

Reason is that I'm often switching between work and personal, and I don't want to swap two receivers over all the time - one is already a pain

I guess it could support Bluetooth for work.

The only one I've seen is the Corsair K63 combo but it has linear switches.

Is there anything on the market?

Thanks in advance.

What did you get in the end?

I didn't, unfortunately.

Bane of my life having to switch blinking dongles over every time I switch between work device and home PC.

Same with the webcam

I'd love a USB hub with an input switch - would probably solve my issues. Don't know if something like that exists.

The problem I've had is that I've not been able to find a mechanical keyboard I truly like. The G513 is the closest, but I don't need the number pad anymore.

I'm using a 915 TKL and it's fine, but the lighting consistency is TERRIBLE (i.e. setting a single colour for the whole keyboard = colour looks different in different areas) and I just don't need a wireless keyboard = more things to charge.

Razer.

Close, but no cigar

The Razer keyboards don't seem to offer a "brown" switch equivalent - tactile and not clicky.

I tried the linear ones, but didn't like it for typing.

My MX Keys and MX Vertical have been fine switching between devices. The software allowed me to seamlessly switch between laptop and PC easily enough. Is that what you mean?

Kind of, but I don't use the devices simultaneously - not sure if that would impact the software

I'm now going down the route of a MX Mechanical keyboard and MX Master 3S Mouse. Both on a Bolt receiver.

Problem is I use my PC for gaming, so the MX series doesn’t work for me :/

Could you not get a USB switch that has two outputs (One to each setup). May be an option to save constantly unplugging and re-plugging.

I mentioned the idea of something like that a couple of posts above - this would solve many pains!
