Keyboard FAQs

What is a tenkeyless keyboard?

A tenkeyless or TKL keyboard drops the numeric keypad, freeing desk space and bringing your mouse closer to your typing position.

Can I use a Windows keyboard on a Mac?

Most USB and Bluetooth keyboards work, but some keys are labelled differently. Mac-specific models match macOS shortcuts more closely.

Will an iPad keyboard fit my iPad?

Only if it is made for your exact iPad model and generation. Check the model names on the listing against your device.

What is a keyboard and mouse combo?

A combo pairs a matching keyboard and mouse, often sharing one wireless receiver. It is a simple way to set up a new desk or replace a worn-out set in one go.

Do wireless keyboards need batteries?

Some use replaceable batteries and others recharge over USB. Battery type and expected life vary by model, so check the product specifications before you buy.

Is a mechanical keyboard better for gaming?

Many gamers prefer the feel and response of mechanical or magnetic switches, but it comes down to personal preference.
