wireless gaming keyboards and even less that we actually liked
That is, until the Corsair K63 Wireless keyboard entered the scene
The computer peripherals company took what made the wired version of the K63 so great, and put it into a wireless version – without
compromising on much at all
Packing tight Cherry MX Red switches, full RGB lighting and convenient media controls, the K63 wireless is proof that wireless keyboards can
be very capable in 2019, even for gaming.Read the full review:Corsair K63 Wireless 8

one’s got a whole lot of them, not to mention its integrated 19-zone light bar and the 16.8 million color options, to boot
By bang, we actually mean its 6 dedicated macro keys, 8MB on-board storage and aircraft-grade anodized brushed aluminum frame.Read the full

Well, the Havit Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard will surprise you
While it definitely has the RGB lighting (honestly, how could it not?), it leaves the rest of the cliches in the past where they belong
Appealing and responsive, this keyboard is only as big as it needs to be, and is thus extremely comfortable to type as well as game on
There are no multimedia buttons, but we’d happily make that trade any day for a keyboard this good at such a low price.Read the full
