Yes, you can make a wired USB keyboard wireless. The two practical WSCOME paths are different: WBT2-V4 is the external no-opening route, while WBT-V3 is the DIY internal route for users who are comfortable modifying the keyboard.
If you want the easiest setup, choose WBT2-V4. If you want the keyboard itself to become wireless and can handle battery, wiring, and installation work, choose WBT-V3. The important choice is not just wireless vs wired. It is external adapter vs internal conversion.
Quick choice: WBT2-V4 or WBT-V3?
- Choose WBT2-V4 if you do not want to open the keyboard, want a reversible setup, or want one keyboard and one mouse across up to 8 computers without software or shared LAN.
- Choose WBT-V3 if you want a built-in DIY wireless conversion for one wired USB keyboard and are comfortable with battery planning and internal installation.
What you need to check first
Before choosing a method, check what kind of keyboard you have and what you want the final setup to do. Most standard USB-HID wired keyboards are better candidates. Custom boards, QMK boards, keyboards with unusual power draw, built-in hubs, or special firmware may need extra testing.
- A wired USB keyboard that still works normally.
- A decision about external adapter vs internal DIY module.
- A target connection method: Bluetooth or matching WSCOME 2.4G receiver mode.
- If you choose WBT-V3, a suitable lithium battery plan and enough internal space.
Option 1: external adapter with WBT2-V4
WBT2-V4 is the easier path when you want to make a wired keyboard wireless without opening it. You keep the keyboard external, connect through the WSCOME hardware path, and avoid internal modification work.
This route is also the better fit when the real goal is larger than one keyboard. WBT2-V4 can handle one keyboard and one mouse across up to 8 computers in supported setups, without software installation, without requiring the same LAN, and without switching monitor video.
Option 2: DIY internal conversion with WBT-V3
WBT-V3 is for users who want the keyboard itself to become wireless. This is the cleaner built-in result, but it is also the more technical path. You open the keyboard, install the module, prepare a battery, and complete the wiring and mounting yourself.
WBT-V3 supports Bluetooth, matching WSCOME 2.4G receiver mode, and wired mode. It is best understood as a DIY wired-keyboard-to-wireless module, not as a finished plug-and-play wireless keyboard.
Bluetooth vs 2.4G receiver mode
Bluetooth is convenient when your target devices already support Bluetooth and you want fewer receivers. Matching 2.4G receiver mode is often easier for desktop computers, BIOS or login-screen use, or setups where Bluetooth pairing is inconvenient.
| Method | Best for | Main tradeoff |
| WBT2-V4 external route | No-opening setup, reversible use, keyboard and mouse together, multi-computer switching | Uses an external hardware path instead of a built-in keyboard mod |
| WBT-V3 internal route | DIY keyboard modders who want the keyboard itself to become wireless | Requires battery, wiring, mounting, and more testing |
| Bluetooth | Laptops, tablets, fewer receivers | Pairing behavior depends on the target device |
| 2.4G receiver mode | Desktop setups, faster switching, login-screen use | Needs matching supported WSCOME receivers where required |
Which WSCOME product should you choose?
Choose WBT-V3 Wired Keyboard to Wireless Conversion Module if your goal is to convert one wired USB keyboard into a wireless keyboard with internal DIY work.
Choose WBT2-V4 Keyboard and Mouse Switch if your goal is an external no-opening setup, if you also want mouse support, or if you want one keyboard and one mouse across multiple computers without software or shared LAN.
What this does not mean
Making a wired keyboard wireless does not mean every keyboard is guaranteed to work with every wireless method. It also does not mean a lost third-party 2.4GHz dongle can be replaced by an unrelated WSCOME product. WBT-V3 and WBT2-V4 solve different WSCOME workflows, and compatibility still depends on the keyboard and setup.

FAQ
Can I make a wired USB keyboard wireless?
Yes. You can do it either with an external hardware route such as WBT2-V4, or with a DIY internal conversion module such as WBT-V3. The right choice depends on whether you want no-opening convenience or built-in DIY conversion.
Can I do it without opening the keyboard?
Yes. That is the main reason to choose WBT2-V4. It is the external route for buyers who want to avoid opening the keyboard and avoid internal installation work.
Is WBT-V3 plug and play?
No. WBT-V3 is a DIY internal conversion module. Battery preparation, wiring, installation, and mounting are part of the job.
Can WBT2-V4 support more than one computer?
Yes. WBT2-V4 can support one keyboard and one mouse across up to 8 computers in supported receiver-mode or Bluetooth setups. This makes it a better fit when your real need is multi-computer switching rather than a pure keyboard DIY project.
Do I need software or the same LAN?
No. WBT2-V4 is a hardware workflow, so it does not depend on keyboard-sharing software or the computers being on the same network.
Can any wired keyboard become wireless?
Not always. Many standard USB-HID keyboards are good candidates, but unusual power behavior, custom firmware, built-in hubs, or special functions may require extra testing.
