At a glance
The Dell Compact Multi-Device Wireless Keyboard is a space-saving wireless keyboard for users who move between a PC, tablet and laptop. It suits home offices, travel setups and shared desks, with Bluetooth 5.0, a USB receiver and long battery life of up to 36 months. Its main limitation is the compact US English layout, which skips a full number pad and may not suit heavy data-entry users.

Things to consider
The compact layout omits a full number pad, so it is less suitable than full-size or premium ergonomic keyboards for heavy spreadsheet work or users wanting a more specialised typing setup.
Work vs gaming suitability
Best for work and productivity; not designed for gaming-focused features such as mechanical switches, RGB lighting or advanced macro controls.
Ergonomics score
7/10 - compact design helps save desk space, but it lacks dedicated ergonomic shaping or split-keyboard support.
Multi-device compatibility
High - suitable for use across PC, tablet and laptop with support for Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome and Android.
Portability rating
8/10 - compact size and wireless connectivity make it easy to carry for mobile work and smaller setups.
Noise level vs category
Quiet - membrane keys are generally less noisy than mechanical keyboard alternatives.
Key benefits
- Multi-device wireless connectivity: Connects through Bluetooth 5.0 or a USB receiver, making it easy to switch between different compatible devices.
- Compact footprint: The smaller layout takes up less desk space and fits more easily into travel or flexible work setups.
- 36-month battery life: Up to 36 months of use from two AA batteries means fewer battery changes over time.
- Membrane key switches: Delivers a comfortable and familiar typing feel for everyday work and general use.
- Media shortcut keys: Gives quick access to volume, playback and Copilot functions for faster day-to-day control.
- Broad operating system support: Works with Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome and Android for flexible use across mixed-device environments.
- US English layout: Suits users already comfortable with US key shapes and punctuation placement.
- 3-year manufacturer warranty: Adds longer-term coverage for business and everyday users who want dependable support.
Q: Can the Dell Compact Multi-Device Wireless Keyboard connect to more than one device?
A: Yes. The Dell KB740 is designed for multi-device use and can typically pair with up to three compatible devices using Bluetooth and or the USB receiver. That suits buyers who switch between a work PC, tablet and laptop.
Q: Does the Dell KB740 use Bluetooth, or does it need a USB receiver?
A: Both options are supported. The KB740 can connect by Bluetooth for devices without a spare USB port, or by its wireless receiver for a stable desktop setup. That is handy if one device is a tablet and another is a PC.
Q: Is this Dell KB740 keyboard an Australian layout?
A: No. This version is a US English layout keyboard, which matters if you are used to an Australian layout. Key shapes and some symbols can differ, including the Enter key area and punctuation placement, so touch typists may notice it.
Q: Can the Dell Compact Multi-Device Wireless Keyboard work with a tablet or phone?
A: Yes, if the device supports external Bluetooth keyboards. The compact design and wireless pairing suit tablets and some phones, but shortcut behaviour can vary by operating system, especially on iPadOS and Android devices.
Q: Does the compact design on the Dell KB740 include a full number pad?
A: No. As a compact keyboard, the KB740 is designed to save desk space and is better suited to smaller work areas or travel setups. If entering lots of figures is a daily task, a full-size keyboard is usually the better fit.
Q: Does the Dell KB740 come with a mouse as well?
A: No. The KB740 is a keyboard-only model, so it is suited to buyers replacing just the keyboard or building a custom setup. If a matching keyboard and mouse in one box is preferred, a Dell combo model will be a better fit.
