If you’re in search of a wireless keyboard for the PS5 then you’ve come to the right place.
For console play, a keyboard brings its own distinct benefits. They enable faster communication in your favorite games and provide a new way to navigate when paired with a mouse.
Additionally, you can use them simultaneously with a controller, and swap them over whenever you need to chat. Having a wireless keyboard makes this process even easier!
Below, we will take a look at the best wireless keyboards that are compatible with the PS5.
What is the best wireless keyboard for the PS5?
15. Logitech K400 Plus
Keycaps: ABS
Backlighting: X
Hot-swappable: X
Wireless: ✓
Software: X
One of the cheapest wireless options on the market today, this Logitech keyboard is slim, compact, and comes with its own integrated touchpad. Easy to connect, and built with media environments in mind; it’s definitely a piece of hardware worth considering.
As far as build quality is concerned, the K400 Plus is best described as decent (for the price). Although there is some flex to the board and it can be quite creaky, Logitech has a reputation for building products that last. On the whole, you can expect it to stick around for some time.
The keyboard features low-profile switches, which are generally what you would find in an office setting. As a result, this may be a problem for PC gamers who are used to mechanical switches. On the plus side, they are responsive, accurate, and have very little travel distance.
Wireless connectivity is possible via a 2.4 GHz signal that has a 33 foot (10m) wireless range. This allows for a stable and solid connection to your PS5. Gamers won’t have to worry about their keyboard dropping out in the middle of an online gunfight, that’s for sure.

14. ZJFKSDYX L87 Wireless
Keycaps: ABS
Backlighting: RGB
Hot-swappable: X
Wireless: ✓
Software: X
PS5 gamers searching for a wireless keyboard that offers almost the same utility as a full-size board will appreciate this value TKL setup. About 80% of the size of a standard keyboard, you’ll still get the arrow keys, function keys, and dedicated home keys as well.
The build of the L87 is not exactly the highest but it’s still pretty stable. Made out of aluminum and synthetic plastic parts, it has some rigidity and there’s only a small amount of bend. Unfortunately, it is common to find some rough edges and imperfections on the molding of the keycaps.
Designed to be waterproof, a flexible membrane cover the switches. Besides protecting against liquids, this makes the keystrokes sound much quieter than a conventional mechanical keyboard. One downside to this, though, is that they do feel quite mushy.
The L87 connects over a 2.4 GHz protocol. Due to this, it provides an instant connection to your gaming console. You won’t have to worry about clogging up Wi-Fi or running off Bluetooth either. The included USB dongle makes hooking up this wireless keyboard to your PS5 super straightforward, too.
All in all, it’s a practical bit of kit on a budget.

13. Redragon K585 DITI Wireless
Keycaps: ABS
Backlighting: RGB
Hot-swappable: ✓
Wireless: ✓
Software: ✓
The Redragon K585 DITI is a one-handed, wireless mechanical keypad ideal for those who don’t have a lot of space on their desk. It has a compact 42-key layout with seven large onboard macro keys. Additionally, it features RGB backlighting and a magnetic wrist-rest that readily pulls off.
For switches, the K585 DITI is available in Outemu Blues or Browns. These have a 60g actuation force and a 2.3mm travel distance. Due to the PCB being hot-swappable, a nice little bonus is that you can swap them out for any other 3-pin Outemu switch or the spare switches that comes with the pad.
To keep costs low, the case material is cheap ABS plastic. Nevertheless, it still feels hard and robust. Unfortunately, like most budget keypads, the stabilizers are one of the downsides of the K585. In particular, we noticed that they are quite loose and cause quite a bit of rattle.
Still, this doesn’t really affect the gaming experience, and the K585 DITI makes up for this with its impressive battery life. The 3000 mAh battery supports up to twenty hours of continuous playtime. Once drained, you can plug in the detachable USB-C cable and it will take about 10 hours to charge.
Those after a wireless gaming keypad that works perfectly with the PS5 can’t go wrong with the K585 DITI.

12. ROYAL KLUDGE Sink87G
Keycaps: ABS
Backlighting: RGB
Hot-swappable: X
Wireless: ✓
Software: ✓
The RK Sink87G is a wireless TKL mechanical keyboard with a functional design. It has 87 well-sized keys that form a neat and compact layout. Moreover, apart from the classic Royal Kludge logo beneath the arrows, there’s very little gamer-style branding on the case.
Constructed from a smooth, hard plastic, the casing is solid and has very little flex. Weighing 973 grams (2.1lbs) it’s also quite heavy, which affects its portability. On the plus side, its quality is high, and the combination of its weight and rubber feet prevent it from moving while typing.
The Outemu Brown switches are fast and responsive with a slight tactile bump. When typing they have a quiet clickiness that requires slightly more pressure to activate. The double-shot keycaps are pretty good for ABS. These have see-though legends that allow the RGB light to shine through.
RGB backlighting is a standout feature of this board. Capable of 16.8 million color combinations and multiple backlit modes, you’ll be able to find the perfect color scheme to match your setup. Nine of the effects are customizable, and there are eight pre-set favorites to choose from as well.
To connect this wireless keyboard to your PS5, it uses a 2.4G USB dongle. The ultra-fast 2.4G wireless technology provides a stable transmission distance of up to 10 meters (approx. 30ft). One downside is that the 1850mA battery does drain quite fast in wireless mode, lasting only two days.

11. ROYAL KLUDGE RK G68
Keycaps: PBT
Backlighting: RGB
Hot-swappable: ✓
Wireless: ✓
Software: ✓
The RK G68 is a budget 65% mechanical keyboard with a compact 68-key layout. Its size somewhat resembles its predecessor (the ever-popular RK61), but it does have some upgraded features. These include user hot-swappable switches, PBT keycaps, and tri-mode connectivity.
Built from a tough ABS plastic, the casing is sturdy and there’s quite a bit of heft. Under the case are four rubber feet that balance the board at an 8° angle. Moreover, armed at the back are three USB hub ports. One of these is a Type-C and there’s two Type-A’s for extra peripherals.
The board itself is equipped with a hot-swap PCB that supports both three and five-pin mechanical switches. For switches, you can choose from three Gateron colors; Blues, Browns, and Reds. However, any other Cherry-style MX switch or clone is fully compatible.
Three-mode connectivity (2.4 GHz, Bluetooth, and wired) is another big plus of the G68. The 2.4 GHz dongle plugs straight into your PS5 and allows this keyboard to work wirelessly. Thanks to the 3150mAh battery, it can last about one week (8 hours/ day) on a full charge.
Like or boards on the lower end of the price scale, it does have some cons. Although the keycaps are made of PBT, they are completely opaque and prevent the stunning backlighting from shining through. Additionally, the Bluetooth can sometimes drop and is highly inconsistent.

10. Logitech K800 Wireless
Keycaps: ABS
Backlighting: White
Hot-swappable: X
Wireless: ✓
Software: ✓
Up next is the K780 from Logitech. Despite being a slightly older wireless keyboard, it works just as well with your PlayStation 5 as it does with any of the other of the previous generations. This is thanks to the proven 2.4 GHz technology that connects over a USB dongle.
The K780 has a slim, lightweight design in a full-size form factor. With this model, there’s no aluminum on the case, however, the plastic is still very durable. While it does have quite a bit of flex, it’s not overly flimsy and not too much of an issue unless you really try to bend it.
As for the typing experience, the K780 is pleasant and efficient to type on. The switches provide a soft yet responsive keypress that is just positive enough to get you on to the next key quickly. Unfortunately, it does use scissor switches, which is not exactly the best for gaming.
On the plus side, the K780 has a strong wireless connection that isn’t going to be interrupted by other devices. As a result, you’ll be able to enjoy this keyboard over a decent range without any keystrokes going rogue. Using triple-A batteries, the battery life is also great lasting 18 months.

9. ROYAL KLUDGE RK84
Keycaps: ABS
Backlighting: RGB
Hot-swappable: ✓
Wireless: ✓
Software: ✓
The RK84 is a budget 75% mechanical keyboard with a compact 84 key layout. Although it is on the lower end of the price scale, it does have some great features. Some of these include tri-mode connectivity, user hot-swappable switches, and dynamic RGB backlighting.
Aesthetically, the RK84 has a clean-looking case with little noticeable branding. A unique thing about the case is that you can actually remove the embedded frame and transform it into a low-profile design. This allows the keycaps to “float”, and completely removes the front Royal Kludge logo.
In terms of the build, the plastic case is sturdy and has very little flex. Unfortunately, the stabilizers will need some modding, as they can be a bit noisy. Furthermore, to take this board to the next level, you may also want to replace the stock ABS keycaps with a nice set of PBTs.
We particularly like that PCB is completely hot-swappable supporting both three and five-pin switches. For switches, the RK84 uses TTC Browns that have a bit more tactility than Cherry Browns. Under each switch is a per-key RGB LED that has many color settings through the software.
For connectivity, the RK84 has three modes; Bluetooth 5.0, 2.5 GHz wireless, and USB Type-C. Unfortunately, the 2.4 GHz mode is known to have a short-range without a powered USB hub. Therefore, you will have to make sure it’s working correctly if you choose this keyboard for the PS5.
A large 3750 mAh battery powers the LED backlighting, which is considerably better than other RK models. Another upgraded feature is the two built-in USB pass-through ports on the back of the case for other gaming peripherals such as a headset and mouse.

8. iKBC Typeman W200
Keycaps: PBT
Backlighting: X
Hot-swappable: X
Wireless: ✓
Software: X
The iKBC W200 is a no-frills, wireless mechanical keyboard. It has an 87-key, TKL layout featuring standard key sizes and three LED indicators above the Home keys. Finished in an all-black, the design looks quite minimal. This is accentuated by the high-quality PBT keycaps and clean legends.
Despite being constructed from plastic, the W200 is surprisingly solid. The thick, sturdy plastic has quite a bit of weight, similar to what you would find on more expensive boards. Underneath the case are a pair of two-stage adjustable feet and some grippy rubber pads.
For switches, the W200 comes equipped with Cherry MX’s in a selection of Blues, Browns, or Reds. Rated for 50 million key-presses, they provide the reliability and accuracy you need. Out of the box, the keys and stabs feel pleasantly smooth and don’t rattle or make metallic pinging noises.
Using a 2.4 GHz receiver, the W200 takes just seconds to set up. The wireless receiver plugs straight into your PS5 USB port and allows the keyboard to work instantly without any software. You’ll be glad to know that the 2.4 GHz transmission is very reliable and quick to recover from sleep.
Powered by two triple-A batteries, the 2.4 GHz wireless also has a surprisingly long battery life, lasting up to nine months of daily use! Unfortunately, there’s no hard-wired connection so you can only use it in wireless mode. Therefore, it’s a good idea to keep some spare batteries in case of an emergency.
In short, you can’t go wrong with this wireless mechanical keyboard for your PS5.

In terms of the layout, the W1 has a bunch of multimedia controls on the top right of the board. These include a rotary volume knob and a “gaming mode” switch that can disable the Windows key. Additionally, there’s a power button on the right side of the case for even faster access.
Connectivity is one area where the W1 excels. Supporting 2.4 GHz, low energy Bluetooth, and wired a USB Type-C, it provides multiple ways to receive a signal. Those searching for a PS5 keyboard, in particular, will appreciate the 1ms wireless technology that has an excellent ten-meter range.
If you did want to use it on other devices (e.g. laptops or phones) via Bluetooth, this can be achieved by pressing the Fn key and numbers one to three. Powered by two AA batteries the long battery life can last up to 2.5 months using Bluetooth or 1.5 months using the 2.4 GHz wireless mode.

In terms of the layout, the G613 has all the keys you need. Along the left side of the board are six programmable G-keys that put custom macro sequences and in-app commands at your fingertips. Additionally, a bunch of essential media keys are above the Numpad.
Constructed from plastic, the build quality is fantastic and everything feels solid. Weighing 1410g (49.7 oz), it does have some premium weight to it and quite a bit of heft. This is partly due to the integrated palm rest that adds to the comfort and typing experience.
For switches, the G613 uses its own Logitech Romer G’s. These deliver a quiet, and precise mechanical performance that feel somewhat similar to an emulated red switch. To actuate, they require 45g of force for a travel distance of 1.5 millimeters.
A combination of rock-solid wireless connectivity and a phenomenal (18-month) battery life make this keyboard such a great choice for the PS5. To connect it uses a 2.4 GHz nano receiver that plugs straight into the USB. Moreover, instead of having a rechargeable battery, it takes two double-As.

Are All Keyboards Compatible With PS5?
If you have a wired USB keyboard, then it will be compatible with the PlayStation 5. You can plug it in, and the PlayStation 5 will automatically recognize it as a keyboard. This keyboard can be plugged into the USB slot on the back of the console, or you can use a USB hub. It doesn’t matter.
For wireless keyboards, things get a bit more confusing. This is because most Bluetooth keyboards are not going to work with a PS5.
That isn’t to say all wireless keyboards won’t work though. The majority of wireless keyboards have a 2.4 GHz connection are compatible with the PS5 and will work as soon as you plug in the dongle.
We say “the majority” because not all 2.4 GHz keyboards with a dongle will work. An updated list of compatible keyboards is available here on Reddit. All of the keyboards on our list are on the Reddit list as well so you won’t have to worry about compatibility issues.
Overall, if you want to guarantee a keyboard is compatible with your PS5, then you can always opt for a wired USB keyboard or keyboard with an external 2.4 GHz dongle.
How to Choose a Keyboard for the PS5?
Size/Layout
The size and layout of the keyboard will depend on what you are planning to do with it. If you are just using it for communicating, then you don’t need anything too large. In contrast, if you are planning to play games then make sure that your hands sit comfortably on the keyboard, with access to the directional keys.
There are different keyboard layouts for the country that you live in. QWERTY keyboards are always a safe bet, but the PS5 supports all.
Build Quality
Chances are that you are going to be hammering away at the keyboard quite intensely. You want it to have a good amount of weight to prevent it from sliding about on your lap, after all. For this reason, we suggest that you opt for a heavier keyboard. Aluminum Keyboards work incredibly well for this purpose.
Switch Type
If you are serious about playing games with your keyboard, then we suggest that you opt for a keyboard that uses mechanical switches. Not only will they give you an audible click when you press a key, but they also tend to be much more responsive. Serious gamers will only ever use mechanical keyboards.
Connectivity Options
USB is going to be your safest bet when you pick up a keyboard. This method guarantees it to work, as will most keyboards with a 2.4 GHz connection. If you are looking for a standard wireless keyboard, then make sure that you consult Sony to find out if your keyboard is compatible with the PS5.
Features
Features include anything from Macros, and hot-swappable switches, to software. Another key feature that you will be able to benefit from is RGB lighting. This will help you to see the keys in the dark. Without features, your keyboard is just going to work as a standard keyboard.
Battery Life
You don’t want your battery to die in the middle of a game, right? A wireless keyboard with a good 20-30 hours battery life is perfect. This will give you the same sort of battery life as your controller.
We hope you found a wireless keyboard for the PS5 on this list.
