Wireless Keyboard Recommendation

Many PC and Mac users connect a wireless keyboard to their setup for convenience. There’s only one keyboard I would recommend, and that’s Logitech’s trusty K400. It’s affordable ($35) and seemingly bulletproof, with astonishing battery life and a built-in trackpad so you don’t need a mouse.

In short, it’s the perfect keyboard for your Zwifting setup. I’ve had mine for 8 years, and it’s still working perfectly! (Pro tip: install the Logitech Options app on your computer so you can enable the F1-F12 keys by default.)

No Keyboard Shortcuts on iOS/AppleTV/Android

The above shortcuts are for Zwift on PC/Mac. Zwift for iOS/iPadOS/AppleTV/Android has no way to bring up the keyboard, so all game interactions are via screen touches and swipes via the action bar which is shown (see below) when you swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
