The 30 Best Wireless Keyboards

I

f your desk is slowly becoming a mountain of devices, screens, files, donuts, pens, and other obstacles, it may be time you got yourself a wireless keyboard. Instead of digging your way through the mess trying to find that paperclip, you could save desk space and tidy things up with a wireless keyboard. Wireless keyboards don’t just get rid of wires and trip hazards, they also consolidate devices.

A wireless keyboard can be paired with many different devices. They’re a true convenience item which will certainly make work and play seamlessly. We at Men’s Gear have been taking a good and hard look at these portable products and narrowed down our favorites to a top 30 – we actually shook our head at some, we promise!

To help you find the best wireless keyboard for your needs then check out our list below, but before we get into that, let’s give you a bit of a crash course on these products…

What Are The Main Benefits Of Wireless Keyboards?

Wireless keyboards have a lot of useful benefits to the right people. Some wireless keyboards have a multi-device capability. They can connect to more than one device at the same time, even if those devices are from different manufacturers.

This is especially true for those that connect with Bluetooth.

This makes switching between chatting on Facebook, taking a Skype call, and browsing Men’s Gear even easier. If you have your own home office and multiple screens on the go, then you’ll save a lot of desk space!

They also have the ability to transform your devices.

Instead of taking your bulky laptop with you on a business trip, just bring your tablet, smartphone, and one of these keyboards. You’ll have the same capabilities at a fraction of the cabin-bag space.

Most wireless keyboards are exceptionally portable too. They’re light, compact, and it’s not uncommon for them to fold up and fit in your pocket. One of the models we’ll show you below actually rolls up like a piece of sushi!

What Is The Average Range Of A Wireless Keyboard?

The range of a wireless keyboard can vary depending on the manufacturer. Most of the best wireless keyboards will have a range of around nine or ten meters. This is more than enough for most people’s needs. It’ll certainly let you float around the room during boardroom meetings or just let you control the TV without leaving the sofa.

One wireless keyboard below can even excel the standard ten meters by a couple more!

Overall, the range is more so measured with a clear need for a device to be present. If you take your phone with you and the keyboard can connect to it, then you’re good to go anywhere. The same for a tablet or another random mobile device.

The real issue truly is that most keyboards won’t leave the home or be separated from a device by much.

The major use for wireless keyboards tends to be Smart TVs or gaming. Considering the range won’t be too far with these needs, you should be good to go with any keyboard we list below.

What Products Are Compatible With Wireless Keyboards?

When it comes to compatibility, wireless keyboards can become a bit of a mixed bag. This tends to be where you need to do most of your research. No matter how awesome a wireless keyboard it is, if it doesn’t pair up with your devices, it’s as useful as a chocolate keyboard.

However, it’s far less tasty.

Most of these products can pair with smartphones, tablets, and laptops. However, it’s the manufacturers of these devices that will be of some concern. You need to make sure your chosen wireless keyboard will pair with the Apple Mac, the Galaxy phone, or the Windows PC you own.

You need to make sure your wireless keyboard will pair up to your device and its current software. Some keyboards will require a specific operating system, software level, or upgrade before becoming compatible.

Look for these three things in this order:

First, is the wireless keyboard compatible with *insert device type*? For example, is the wireless keyboard compatible with smartphones?

Second, is it compatible with *insert manufacturer* devices?

Finally, is the wireless keyboard compatible with *insert manufacturer* devices with *insert software*?

If these three questions match your needs then the wireless keyboard could be perfect for you. Fortunately, most manufacturers make their keyboards to cater for most people – why wouldn’t they?

While it will work with a Windows device, it certainly won’t match.

Top 10 Wireless Car Charging Mounts For Your Phone

S

o you’re going on a trip. Maybe you’re heading out to tackle the Appalachian trail, or heading the opposite direction to Death Valley and the Grand Canyon. You’re looking for adventure, maybe, or just to clear your head for a while. You’ll have your phone on you just in case. However, you’re wanting to escape the issues of the world and just drive. With wireless car charging mounts, people are able to keep issues at a minimum as they’re free to sit back and enjoy the ride.

Perhaps you’re wanting to take a late-night drive down Main Street with your friends. You’ve all landed jobs in big firms and are looking to celebrate. Someone wants to start playing their jams and you put their phone in the wireless car mount.

Now no one has to think of plugging anything in and you’re good to blast rock n’ roll until dawn. Well, at least until you have to go to bed to prepare for that first big day.

Some might be getting in on the startup craze – you want to try everything your apps will let you do. TaskRabbit, Vayable, Uber, everything’s a-go. However, this may force you to use your phone in the car all day, even just to enjoy the opportunities of the new sharing economy.

This means you’ll constantly be draining your battery. Making sure you whip out your wireless charger means you’ll never miss a beat in today’s fast-paced marketplace.

Wireless car charging mounts are here, and they help make your life much easier. However, with so many brands and options out there, how do you know where to start? Luckily we’ve done the research for you, so sit back, adjust your seat and treat yourself to a roundup of today’s most essential chargers!

What are the main benefits of wireless car charging mounts?

Some might think that wireless car charging mounts are totally unnecessary – just a luxury, at best. A good driver, so the wisdom goes, would be able to navigate the inside of their car with ease. That’s without having to worry about running into wires. We’ve done it for this long, right? Do we really need to get on this bandwagon?

We understand the objections but think of when your phone gets low on battery. Remember those times you were calling someone using Bluetooth or out on a delivery. Those times when you used your GPS directions for hours. It took up tons of battery, but plugging in either got in the way or dropped a call. You might even lose the cord randomly!

Even if you have it on hand, you still have to plug it in quick. However, taking your eyes off the road and towards your phone can be dangerous. Even though nine times out of ten you’re going to be fine, this could all-too-easily lead to disaster.

Especially if you’re on a highway or a city freeway.

The greatest benefit of having a wireless car charger is not having to worry about the inconvenience of wires again. We’re not just talking about those panicky moments when you’re searching for the cord. Even when a car mount is present and you’re plugged in, the wire gets in the way.

Want to turn up the news? The wire’s in the way. Need to activate your emergency lights? That wire, again.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Wireless car charging mounts make things easier and help us imagine a world without loose wires. Gentlemen, the future is now!

What people often overlook when buying wireless car charging mounts?

You’ve bought in, we see. You’re tired of sorting through various wires tangled in your cup holder and you want to just be rid of them for good. You’re already thinking of getting a wireless car charger mount. You might even be looking forward to processing the reviews we’ve written below.

Being the prepared man that you are, now you’re thinking about whether or not there’s something you’re missing. You may be asking if there is anything that people normally overlook when they buy one of these wireless car charging mounts?

If that’s you, we’ve got you covered.

This Isn’t Universal:

If someone’s going to be making a mistake buying a new wireless charger for their car, the main thing they miss is that this isn’t a universal feature for all phones. This is especially an issue for Android users. They’re used to having a universal USB charger (as compared to iPhones).

This means wireless chargers would probably be just as universal, right? Wrong!

The standard tech used by phone manufacturers for wireless charging is called Qi (pronounced “Chee”). In practice, the mounts save up energy they receive wirelessly. Then when the phone’s put into place it gets transferred to the device and converted into battery power.

There used to be a battle between Qi technology and a competing system called Powermat. Of course, Qi won out as Blu-Ray did over HD DVD in the 2000s. That means that you must make sure that you have a phone that’s compatible with a certain charger before going out and buying any wireless car charging mounts.

It’s critical, as it could be a waste if it’s the wrong size. Every major brand has models with built-in Qi tech, so you need to find out if you have one and what type.

Where To Place The Mount:

You have to think about where you’re actually going to be putting your mount. Though we’ll go in-depth more on this later, the placement depends on many factors. It could depend on where it is you’ll be placing it. Some, for example, go onto car vents while other mounts can be sealed to the window.

There are even some that fit on the dash similar to a GPS. At times, multiple options are available so you can choose which version you like.

Of course, the big issue comes down to the ones that have fewer options. With those, it may depend on not only your phone but the vehicle you’re driving too. If you have a broken vent, window, or something similar this can also be an issue. That said, there many considerations on where a car charging mount can go.

More often than not, if you find one that can be used with your phone and car, the box will have all options of placement available listed on it.

The Right Size:

More than just thinking about your phone’s compatibility, you have to make sure you have the right size of wireless car charging mount. Nothing is more embarrassing than not doing your homework on compatibility, installing the thing, and then realizing that your phone is a little too big or a little too small.

While the act may not be an issue, it’s the walk of shame back to the tech station in a major store or at a major tech store that can be life-crushing!

No one needs that kind of stress – measure twice, cut once, as the saying goes. Just don’t cut your devices, please. After all, you would not want them cutting you when THEY get angry, right?

Where is the best place in your car to mount A Charger?

We touched on this in the last question, but the placement of wireless car charging mounts is half the battle for most. One of the most popular places to do so is on the windshield itself. Many models come with a suction cup that’s designed specifically to stick to the glass.

These won’t be moving anywhere once it’s fixed in place, so find a useful spot that’s easy to see. Before you attach your wireless car charging mount, try sitting down in the driver’s seat first. Then get an idea of where it’s easy for your eyes to turn.

You want to find a place that doesn’t require you to turn your head, but also one that doesn’t block your vision of the road. People often choose a little square patch near the lower-center, or anywhere low and close to the dashboard. As with fixing it to the window, make sure you’re sitting in your car first and find a spot that’s convenient for you.

If you have a partner (or other regular drivers) who’s shorter or taller than you, also try to think of them as well.

There are also options for mounting it on the dashboard itself. There are some cup-like devices that stick in a similar way that it does to the class, as well as mounts that use traditional adhesives. You’ll also find modern ones that attach themselves to the air conditioning vents.

The main drawback to attaching things to the dashboard is that it might get in the way if you’re looking to use the radio or reach for your emergency brakes. Just take a minute to figure out what’s going to work for you. Then relax and enjoy all the benefits of wire-free living.

What laws relate to car mounts?

Great, you’ve got all your ducks in order and are looking into wireless car charging mounts for purchase. You’ve chosen to put it on your windshield. This is because you’re a tall man and you don’t like having to crane your neck down towards the dashboard every few seconds to figure out where to turn next.

Sounds great – but did you know that there are certain laws that may make it illegal to mount anything on your windshield? That depends entirely on what country or even what region inside a particular country you’re in at a given moment.

Let’s break down those nations with issues involving wireless car charging mounts and their placement.

United States of America:

Many countries have national laws that apply no matter where inside the country you are. However, the U.S. is very different on this. This is due to each state having a lot of power to design their own laws and way of living that works best for them.

While they have federal laws, states often handle the minor laws. Wireless car charging mounts fall under these state handled rules.

Each state can be divided into three different categories. Those which make window-mounted devices completely illegal, make it entirely legal, and specific places where it has to be mounted.

United Kingdom:

Laws in the United Kingdom are much more ambiguous. The official wording of the Highway Code is that “windscreens and windows MUST be kept clean and free from obstructions to vision.” However, there are no precise details about what is or is not considered an obstruction.

Most deem it safe to mount a navigation system down low, close to the dashboard.

It is theorized that the law is vague likely for a reason of sorts. However, regardless of its vagueness, you can get into trouble regardless. That is why you need to be careful about where you place it. We advise you consider avoiding the window, but if you do, aim for a very high spot that won’t impair vision.

Canada:

Taking a trip to Canada, you would be wise to know that different provinces have different laws in a similar fashion as the American system. The main difference is there is that even in places where it is legal to mount a phone charger or device, it must be done in places that don’t obscure vision.

In the lower-left corner, for example. According to the law directly, they can be “non-transparent material.” That means avoiding areas obscuring vision are best.

However, there are still areas where it is both legal and completely illegal.

Legal: Manitoba, Alberta, Newfoundland and Labrador, Yukon, Nunavut, Saskatchewan, Northwest Territories.

Illegal: Ontario, British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Quebec, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick.

Like with any responsible trip, do your research on local laws and you’ll do just fine. Yet we must now consider the wonders of which wireless car charging mount to buy for those can legally use them. If that is you, we hope you enjoy our list of the Top 10 Wireless Car Charging Mounts on the market today.

If we compare this with its ability to take an iPhone and charge it up, then we start to see where there might be a bit less constancy than desired. For iPhone users, there’s going to be a max charge output of about 7.5W total.
