Out of all the mini keyboards we’ve tested that came out recently, Razer’s BlackWidow V3 Mini might be the best one yet. It’s extremely comfortable to use while also oozing in style, quality, and performance. But, that’s not all. For a compact keyboard, it’s also very versatile, with three connectivity options – two wireless, one USB-C – and fully programmable keys with on-the-fly macro recording, which means that you won’t have to use Razer’s software to create and program macros. For a fun design spin, Razer has rolled out its Phantom Edition whose keys come with translucent sides to give it more of a floating keys effect that allows its already stunning RGB lighting to really shine.

At less than an inch thick and 36.2 ounces, the Logitech G915 Lightspeed is not just portable, it’s extremely travel-friendly. Combine that with its wireless nature, onboard memory that lets you store three sets of G-keys macro profiles, and top-notch performance, and this is the gaming keyboard you want to take with you if you want to game on the go with a full-sized keyboard. That’s especially because it’s an absolute stunner as well with its brushed aluminum deck, floating low-profile keys, and bright RGB lighting. For more convenience, it also comes with media controls and dedicated buttons that will let you toggle quickly between the two connections.

The Corsair K63 Wireless might be a bit of an oldie, but it’s most certainly still a goodie. It’s not only completely devoid of input delays and drop-outs, delivering an impeccable gaming performance that will make you forget that it’s wireless, but it also delivers up to 75 hours of battery life when you have backlighting turned off. Better yet, it lets you assign macros to any key, which you can then take with you everywhere you go due to its onboard memory. What’s more, unlike other offerings on here, it’s less than $120/£120, which makes it a great choice for budget-minded gamers.
