Corsair K57 Rgb Wireless Keyboard Review

Corsair K57 RGB Wireless Keyboard

If you haven’t noticed, we love the Corsair products and we are here to tell you about the Corsair K57 RGB Wireless Keyboard.

Wireless Keyboards used for gaming are not quite as common as the wired versions. But, Corsair feels they are putting a good product out that will work for that purpose as well as any other general purpose of a keyboard.

Technical Specifications and Information

Other Features:

When you first open the box, it doesn’t look like much of a keyboard. It looks like a plain black keyboard. But, once you start using it and turn on the backlight, you see a completely different picture.

Dedicated Hotkey for WIN Lock
Dedicated Hotkeys for Media

Corsair is using the CAPELLIX LEDs which are really bright and do not take as much power as other RGB LEDs. There are at least eighteen different lighting effects.

As you can see, this keyboard has 6 programmable macro keys (G1 – G6).

It also has a numeric pad integrated into it for those times you might need it.

CORSAIR iCUE software is included and provides control for vivid dynamic lighting, assistance in programming macros, and is used to synchronize the lighting not only with the keyboard but other compatible CORSAIR peripherals and more.

The palm rest is not the most amazing thing I have ever seen and I could see some finding it just as comfortable to use the keyboard without it.

Verdict:

The Corsair K57 RGB Wireless Keyboard is another great product from a great company. This keyboard has all the bells and whistles for gaming and is functional for other uses. If you are looking for a wireless keyboard for gaming, this would be a good option. One improvement would be to provide a little better palm rest. I would probably just use the keyboard without it but others might find it more comfortable. It could be a personal preference. Overall, this is a very good product.
