Corsair K57 Wireless

Dedicated media keys and macro buttons. Flashy backlighting. Lag-free wireless using Bluetooth or 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. Good rated battery life.

Wireless, but too large for lap use. Squishy key feel. Pricey considering feature set and non-mechanical keys. Hard wrist rest isn't comfortable over long stretches.

Bottom Line: Corsair's K57 RGB Wireless Gaming Keyboard has some flash, but it's an object lesson in how making something wireless doesn't automatically make it better.

Wireless ; RGB ; Software Control ; Wrist Rest

The K57 has the right price for sure but is the lack of mechanical switches a deal breaker? Honestly its a toss up. I can get a similar model with mechanical switches for a few dollars more. But on the other hand this keyboard has the new SLIPSTREAM...

Incredible lighting \ Flawless wireless connectivity \ Decent software \ On-board media controls

Terrible wrist rest \ Squashy, stiff keys \ Plastic build \ Far cheaper wired alternatives available

Despite being a membrane keyboard, the Corsair K57 does many things right. If consistent, reliable wireless connectivity and luscious RGB lighting are your top concerns, go for it.

Excellent usability/functionality between multiple devices.

Not very portable.

Pretty RGB lighting Helpful extra keys USB and Bluetooth connectivity

Uncomfortable membrane design Tedious software Expensive

The Corsair K57 RGB Wireless is worth considering if you absolutely must have a wireless gaming keyboard for $100. If not, you could get much better wired models for the same price
