A guide to finding your new favorite Chromebook keyboard

A good keyboard is essential, which is why you deserve only the best Chromebook keyboard for typing and the best Chromebook keyboard replacements when something goes wrong. Chrome OS plays well with most keyboards on the market, and whether you’re looking for a travel-friendly keyboard to replace your Chromebook’s sticking keys, need a wireless keyboard to use in bed, or you’re a student looking for the perfect match, we’ve got a keyboard for everyone. The number of keyboards with Chrome OS function keys is still relatively small, but all keyboards can still work with Chromebooks, with F1-12 standing in for the function keys.

Made for Google

Logitech K580 Wireless Keyboard, Chrome OS Edition

Staff Pick

You can swap between two devices quickly on this slim keyboard, which has Chrome OS function keys up top, as well as a number pad with page up/down, home, and end keys. The connection is strong, and the key travel is a good depth for a long-lasting keyboard.

Premium look

Brydge C-Type Bluetooth/USB Wired Desktop Keyboard

Brydge made a couple of Chrome OS keyboard options for the Pixel Slate a year ago, but the Brydge C-Type works well with any Chromebook, has the Chrome OS function keys and layout, and six-month battery life. Of course, if it had backlit keys, it’d be perfect.

Good for sharing

Logitech K380 Multi-Device Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard

The Logitech K380 is a long-standing go-to replacement keyboard because of its long battery life and near-universal compatibility. It can also switch back and forth among three devices quickly, allowing you to hand it off between family members easily.

Comes with a mouse

Macally 2.4G Full Size Wireless Mouse and Keyboard Combo

This full-sized keyboard includes shortcut keys and a numeric keypad, a kickstand so you can prop it up to use at an angle if desired, long battery life, and a spill-resistant design. Topping things off is the three-button optical cordless mouse it comes bundled with for even more precise control.

Great for students and travelers

iClever Wireless Folding Keyboard with 3-Color Backlight

Most folding keyboards have gaps, shrunken keys, no stability, or all three, but not iClever! The tri-colored backlighting is a nice touch, but it’s overall a regular-sized, solidly stable keyboard that can fold up compactly, packs well, and works hard.

Go pro

Logitech MX Keys

This backlit keyboard is one of the Android Central’s managing editor has ever used, with “perfect stroke keys” comfortable for hours and hours of typing, smart backlighting that adapts to your room, and it charges using the same USB-C as your Chromebook.

Good for Chrome tablets

Belkin B2B191 Wired Keyboard With Stand

It isn’t wireless, but this keyboard comes with a built-in stand for your Chrome tablet or other compatible device and a USB-C cable for plugging in, negating the need for batteries or recharging. The full-sized keys help lower the adjustment period between keyboards.

Pick your switches

DIERYA DK61 Pro Mechanical Keyboard

Mechanical keyboards are great long-term investments, and this one is extra-compact, thanks to its 60% sizing. You can get it in four different switch styles: clicky Blue, tactile Brown, linear Black, and gamer-favorite Red. It also works over Bluetooth or with a USB-C cable.

Worry-free spills

WisFox Wireless Keyboard and Mouse

This combo includes both the wireless keyboard and companion mouse, offering silent operation. Available in five color options, the keyboard has 12 function keys, fast-access hot keys, and even a built-in number pad. It’s also splashproof, which is a huge relief if you’ve spilled coffee or water on your computer more than once before and know the damage it can cause.

Go wireless or go home

Whether you intend to use a keyboard at home or on the go, a wireless keyboard is the most convenient choice by far. Some of the best Chromebook keyboard replacements provide a great experience when typing long papers or finishing up work at the office — without all the wires. The Logitech K580 is our top pick, even though its key spacing can take a bit of getting used to with its smaller, top-function keys making room for the Device 1 and Device 2 keys. But I’m happy to have the number pad here since not many Chromebooks have them on their built-in keyboards.

The iClever Wireless Folding Keyboard is a really nice, compact solution that students and others who commute with their devices will appreciate. And the three-color backlight makes it easy to work from just about anywhere, even in darker rooms or at night when you’re burning the midnight oil to get a report done or finish studying.

The Belkin B2B191 is an interesting option with a convenient built-in stand, so you can easily use it with a tablet or other mobile device in various scenarios.
