What keyboards work with Nintendo Wii U?

Although the Wii U console supports almost all USB keyboards, keep in mind that not all games support keyboards and mice natively. Plenty of third-party companies have keyboards and mice compatible with this console. Some of the more notable Nintendo Wii U accessory companies are these:

• Razer – designed specifically for gaming and eSports in mind, keyboards produced by this company can be wired or wireless, can have RGB lighting, backlit keys, dedicated media keys, programmable buttons, and wrist rests. They come in various shapes, sizes and types;
• Logitech – offers both wired and wireless keyboards that come in various shapes, sizes, types, aesthetic flairs, such as backlit keys, and additional features, such as programmable keys, additional buttons, wrist rests, and more;
• Corsair – these dedicated gaming keyboards can be wired or wireless, and of various shapes & sizes. Most offer dedicated media keys, programmable keys, and RGB/LED lighting;
• Redragon – offers a wider range of colours and sizes of both wired and wireless keyboards. Usually includes backlit keys, extra multimedia & macro keys.

NOTE: The Wii U console only supports wireless keyboards and mice that have a Bluetooth dongle.

What Wii U games are compatible with a keyboard?

Because almost all console games are designed with a controller’s scheme in mind, not all of them will instantly be playable with a Wii U keyboard and a mouse. Luckily, most of the games, due to a new update, are compatible with this device combination, such as Zelda, Sonic and even Mario games.

To allow players to experience games in ways they find the most convenient, several third-party companies have released special USB keyboard/mouse adapters that, in simple terms, convert the inputs from these devices into those of a controller. It means that you can play almost every game on the system without the use of an actual gamepad by using an adapter.

Keep in mind that you will probably have to calibrate the keyboard inputs of these adapters for each game separately. Even then, it won’t be exactly the same as playing games on the computer. Some titles might experience input lag, but this is the best solution for those seeking to use a keyboard and a mouse with the Nintendo Wii U console.
