Sarah Tew/CNET
This is a multidevice Bluetooth keyboard, meaning that you can program it to easily connect to and switch between three different Bluetooth devices. With it, you can connect to your phone, tablet and PC if you want — switching between them is the work of a simple button press. It works with Mac, Windows, Chrome, Android, iPhone, Apple TV and more. It’s a small keyboard but offers up to two years of battery life before you need to swap them out.

Microsoft
If you want a keyboard with a great design and a bunch of nice features but is easy to move around, this Microsoft Designer Compact Keyboard may be the one for you. It has a low-profile design, an input key for easy access to symbols, emoji and more, as well as the ability to connect to three devices.
While it’s primarily designed to work with Windows (it comes with only a Windows key, there’s no Mac key option), you can connect it to Mac, Android and more with ease.
The first thing you’ll notice about this keyboard is the different layout. It’s a split ergonomic keyboard designed to position your wrists and forearms in a more natural position. The number pad is separate from the keyboard, which gives you some freedom as to where to place it in your workspace, since this layout takes up more space. While it’s an older keyboard, it’s still a great one to consider. Read our Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard review.
