Our Verdict
Microsoft Bluetooth Keyboard
Logitech Signature Slim Keyboard K950
The Logitech Signature Slim Keyboard K950 and the Microsoft Bluetooth Keyboard are low-profile wireless keyboards designed for general desktop use and productivity. The Microsoft keyboard has a slightly taller profile, so using a separate wrist rest is more comfortable. While both keyboards support Bluetooth, only the Logitech supports multi-device pairing. The Logitech also has a thinner profile and provides one extra incline angle with flip-out feet. Both keyboards offer limited software customization with the ability to record simple macros to specific keys.
