Top keyboards and mice compared

About Top keyboards and mice compared

This ranking covers keyboards and mice across 38 brands, judged on the price at entry, what each range includes and where each brand sells. The trade-off is straightforward: the cheapest board on a shelf rarely carries the longest warranty or the most reachable support. Entry prices here sit at €58.10 in the middle, with €28.83 at the lower end and €146.73 at the upper. Warranty is the other lever, and the midpoint of 1 is thinner than most buyers expect. Wireless barely separates anyone, since 96.9% of the brands here list wireless gear. Not every name in this ranking sells input devices: several built their range around phones, audio or PCs, and that shapes what their price and warranty figures mean. Read the product range first, then the price.

How we picked

The order comes from three weighted signals. Cost carries 40%, the offer and range contents carry 40%, and trust, which covers warranty and support, carries 20%. Every figure behind those scores is read from the brands' own pages: shop and collection listings for entry prices, warranty and guarantee pages for cover length, shipping and country selection pages for where a brand sells, contact and support pages for the channels buyers can reach, and legal disclosures for company names and headquarters. Product families are taken from each brand's own category pages rather than assumed, which is why several members here are described as phone or audio sellers. Where a warranty is published as a range rather than a single term, the range is reported as it stands. Partner brands are listed first, ahead of score order, and every brand here is a scored, non partner entry. Ties fall to cost, then offer, then trust.

Our top picks

1. 1. Coolblue Belgium

   Coolblue Belgium earns a place in this ranking on breadth and after-sales cover rather than on input devices. Keyboards and mice sit inside a much larger range covering laptops, desktops, gaming PCs, gaming laptops, Chromebooks, tablets and e-readers, so peripheral choice is a by-product of a computer catalogue. The warranty runs 2 years and support runs on email, phone and help centre with a phone line included. Wireless options are available. Reach is the limit, held to BE, NL and DE, and the entry figure of €139 refers to a refurbished phone, so it is not a keyboard price. ALTERNATE serves a wider set of markets on the same retail model.

   • Free delivery threshold: €0
   • Return window: 30 days
   • Extended warranty: Yes

   Pros

   • You have 30 days to send an order back, which takes the risk out of a big purchase.
   • Every product carries 2 years of cover, and an extended warranty is available on top of it.
   • Delivery is free on every order, with the threshold at €0, and click and collect is offered for small items.
   • Refurbished is part of computers, phones and audio here, which the JBL range does not cover: its categories run audio, gaming and refurbished.

   Cons

   • Support runs on email, phone and help centre only, so there is no live chat in the list.
   • The noise cancelling earbuds listed run 8 hours on a charge, well under the 40 median across the products compared here.
   • A 30 days return window places Coolblue Belgium at 3 of 80 brands compared, so it is not the longest window in the field.

2. AM2. AGM Mobile

   AGM Mobile appears in this ranking on price rather than on desk gear, and its listed product types are new and rugged phones, not keyboards or mice. Entry pricing of $59.29 therefore says nothing about a keyboard, and shipping reaches a single market, US. What it does offer is service breadth for its own products: support runs on email, help centre and community, the warranty is 1 year, and the company is AGM MOBILE LIMITED in HK. TECKNET ONLINE, the next member, is narrower still, with headphones and earbuds and a single market for shipping.

   • Price from: $59.29
   • Warranty: 12 months
   • Return window: 15 days

   Pros

   • Price from $59.29 puts AGM Mobile at 4 of 29 brands on entry price.
   • Handsets are sold unlocked and run Android, so there is no carrier lock to work around.
   • Cover is included: a 12 months warranty on phones and 1 year on audio and accessories.
   • The audio line adds noise cancelling earbuds with 30 battery hours and IPX7 water resistance.
   • One store covers phones, computers and audio, with free delivery at a $0 threshold.

   Cons

   • Returns run 15 days, placing AGM Mobile at 28 of 42 brands on the return window.
   • Support runs on email, help centre and community, and a voice line is not among those channels.
   • A 12 months warranty ranks 12 of 33, so cover sits in the middle of the field rather than above it.
   • The accessories line does not include Gan charging, which matters for anyone packing light.

3. P3. ProtoArc

   ProtoArc lands in this ranking on price, focus and support. Keyboards, mice and portable monitors are its product types, wireless options are available, and entry comes in at $17.99, among the cheapest genuine input specialists listed. Support is the quiet strength: email, chat and phone covers email, chat, phone and a help centre, the widest channel mix among the input brands here, and the warranty runs 2 years, longer than the median term in this ranking. The trade-offs are age and reach. The company was founded in 2021, the newest business listed, and it serves US, CA and GB, a shorter list than Targus or Kensington. Satechi, ranked next, is older with fewer support channels.

   • Price from: $17.99
   • Highest refresh rate (Hz): 60
   • Warranty: 2 years

   Pros

   • ProtoArc's $17.99 entry price ranks 4 of 33 brands, near the front of the field.
   • A 2 year warranty outlasts the 1 median warranty across the brands here.
   • Wireless is offered across the keyboard and mouse range, so a desk can be set up cable free.
   • Shipping reaches US, CA and GB, from the US and Canada to Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Japan.
   • Support includes phone and chat alongside email and a help centre, listed under email, chat and phone.

   Cons

   • The 60 Hz refresh ceiling ranks 22 of 24, the weakest of ProtoArc's placements.
   • Portable monitor panels are limited to ips, so there is no OLED or mini-led option in the range.
   • The keyboard, mouse and portable monitor list stops at portable monitors, so full-size and gaming monitors come from AOC or ALTERNATE instead.
   • The trust part of the rating, 8, sits below the cost part, 9.8, so after-sales depth is the weaker side.

4. B4. Blackview

   Blackview sits low in this ranking on range, with new phones and rugged phones covering new and rugged phones and little that touches a desk. Its European shipping list, DE, FR and IT, is short, and the entry figure of €149.95 comes from smartphones, so it is not a keyboard price. Support is broad for its own products, running on email, phone and chat with a warranty of 1 year, and the company is based in HK. Epomaker, the member ranked next, is the opposite shape: gaming keyboards and gaming mice at the core, a wider market list and chat support.

   • Price from: €149.95
   • Warranty: 12 months
   • Return window: 30 days

   Pros

   • Returns of 30 days rank near the top of the brands tracked, at 2 of 42.
   • Support covers email, phone, chat, the help centre and the community through email, phone and chat, so replies can come by whichever route suits.
   • Store categories span computers, phones and audio, so phones, audio, gaming and computers sit together.
   • Entry price of €149.95 keeps the range within reach for buyers comparing rugged models.
   • Product types list new phones and rugged phones, pairing everyday handsets with rugged ones.

   Cons

   • Entry price of €149.95 sits above Oukitel at $107.99, so it is not the cheapest way in.
   • Warranty of 12 months places Blackview mid-table on cover length, at 12 of 33.
   • Multiroom is a no, so the audio range does not cover whole-home linking.
   • Codec support runs to aac only, narrower than most rivals in the audio category.

What to look for

Entry price rather than headline price

The lowest listing tells you what you pay at the start, and it moves a lot between brands. In this ranking the midpoint is €58.10, the lower quartile €28.83 and the upper quartile €146.73. Set the entry figures side by side before reading feature lists.

Warranty length

Cover length is the cleanest difference between two similar boards. The midpoint here is 1, with 1 at the lower end and 2 at the upper. A single stated term tells you more than a wide range that shifts by model.

Support you can actually reach

A help centre is the most common channel in this category at 100%, ahead of phone at 52.8% and email at 63.9%. Chat and community are less common, at 27.8% and 36.1%.

Wireless is now the default

96.9% of the brands here list wireless gear, so a cable no longer marks a bargain. Weight wired options lightly and judge the rest of the package, because the wired flag separates almost nothing in this ranking.

How much of a desk each brand covers

The ranking spans 38 brands, and the distance between a name that lists only phones and one that lists a full desk setup is wide. Read what each brand actually sells here, then treat its price as a price for that range and nothing more.

Refresh rate only matters for screens

Refresh rate is a panel figure, not a keyboard one, and the midpoint in this ranking is 250. It matters for the brands that pair input gear with monitors, and carries no weight for the ones that sell phones or audio.
