The wireless keyboards are becoming more and more common, and it can only be a good thing. From the all-round quality of the Logitech G915, to the functional performance of the Razer Turret, a cable-free way to play is more viable than ever before, and if you want to relax on the couch, or just pack up your desk. But the gaming keyboards are also very expensive to purchase, and the credit for their mechanical switches. The Corsair K57 RGB Wireless tries to split the difference. This is the The Corsair K57 RGB Wireless Review.
This wireless keyboard provides USB and Bluetooth connectivity, and a column of macro keys, full of light, RGB, and it’s a full bar, the media, and all for less than half of what most of the gaming keyboards that cost. However, the K57 uses a membrane switch, which feel soft and numb, as all of the standard office pc. In addition to this, writing about it, it’s just not a comfortable experience.
The Corsair K57 RGB Wireless Review: Design
The first thing you need to do: in The K57 is a great. It measures 19.0 x 9.0 inches with a wrist rest, removable (19.0 x 6.5 inches without it), and it is almost 2 inches longer than some of the other kind of keyboards. This is primarily for the use of the extra column of macro keys, so you want to measure your phone before you invest in one of these file system.
If not, the K57 looks pretty simple to do. It has a black plastic chassis with a glossy bar at the top that collects fingerprints and smudges like the players in the pickup of sound from the steam in the background. There are six buttons in a row of extra buttons, as well as seven discrete media buttons at the top right: mute, volume down, volume up, stop, rewind, play/pause, and fast forward. I prefer a volume up / down buttons to separate buttons, but the bar is on the right, you have, no matter what it is.
There are also additional buttons at the top to write in the macro to adjust the brightness and lock buttons that you can accidently take it out of the game (like in Windows). The keyboard shortcuts allow you to switch the dongle to USB, and Bluetooth options. All in all, the Corsair K57 is a large keyboard, simple to do, but it has everything you need.
Key
Where is the K57 falls in the keys. This is a membrane keyboard, such as a cheap Dell and Microsoft models preferred by middle managers in all the right places. I have a lot of time writing about the reason why mechanical keyboards are worth the money, and I stand by what I say, especially when it comes to gaming devices. I came to realize that the membrane keyboard can be useful if you only have $20 or $30 to spend on it, but it’s hard to justify $100 for it.
In any case, the company has tried to do this with the key in the The Products K57 make you feel better than a standard membrane keyboard, but I don’t think the attempt was 100% successful. The keys feel stiff, and durable as they are trying to push your finger off when you are typing in. It is reasonable for the game, but it’s not very comfortable for typing when you have to buy a $100 keyboard, it’s reasonable to want to use it as a daily productivity tool, as well.
The Corsair K57 RGB Wireless Review: Features
The K57 is run in a robust, but very limited, Corsair Utility Engine (iCUE) of the software. You can re-program your macros, create profiles for individual games to reassign keys, you can and programs, and to customize the dazzling light of the RGB.
Even though I’m usually not a fan of the iCUE software, there may be something not playing nice with the K57. The Re-programming of the buttons seems a lot more complicated than it should be. And if you want to set up a shortcut to one of the macro keys, you’re going to have to go through a boring in the macro-menu-to – write- up-even for something as simple as a single push of a button, or a button on the mouse.
But what bothers me about the K57 is that it doesn’t have the depth, the RGB lighting, the options that come standard with the other Corsair keyboards. The Corsair was one of the first manufacturers to implement an RGB backlight on the keyboard, the lighting, the choices have always been ridiculously deep at times, at the expense of a keyboard, when the depth of clouds with the ip address.
But the K57 do not have any access to it. In spite of this, you have nine patterns, the colors, and that’s it. It is possible that some of them are very good, like a rainbow waves on your keyboard when you tap a key. And, of course, you can set up any static colour you’d like. But compared to the Corsair fans, they have seen it before, it’s a great anemic selection.
In terms of battery life, the Products of estimates you can get up to 35 hours, with the lights and 175 hours with all the lights turned off. The iCUE software doesn’t tell you exactly how much battery life you have left. But the keyboard remained at the Level of the Battery is High,” during my three days of testing, so that sounds about right. Both the USB and Bluetooth connections, the connections of the radio, it seemed to be stable, and you can even pair it with two Bluetooth devices and switch between them at will.
The Corsair K57 RGB Wireless Review: Performance
The K57 has worked very well in the game, despite the fact that I never got used to the hard feeling of the surface of the screen. I have tested it on the periphery, and with Overwatch, Age of Mythology: Extended Edition, and Final Fantasy XIV to see how it is dealt with in a different genre, and it has performed very well across the board.
I was able to accurately fire my skill rotation is, in FFXIV, and have some fun around in the map and Overwatch, without any problems at all. I don’t think the keyboard is well suited for high level competitive play, why can’t you just hit those keys in rapid succession. For everyday users, it’s all right, even though I feel it’s very similar to any type of membrane that you used before.
Conclusion
The K57 is a lot as well. It’s adorable, and he is entitled to all the buttons and functions, the wireless is flawless. But the hard-hitting, no-taste bladder the buttons to bring the whole experience up a notch, both to write and to play. It’s hard to justify putting the $100 on this keyboard, when it’s just us $10 or more, you will have a mechanical Corsair K63-in Wireless. In the same way, you can get a wireless mechanical Logitech G512, which also has a lighting to RGB for the same price.
I can’t recommend the K57, but there may be some people who are looking for a full-color, wireless gaming keyboard, many of the extra keys and if the keys don’t feel as if that is so, well, that’s a good thing, too. At least as far as wireless keyboards for gaming to become a bit more ubiquitous in the K57 and will fill a vacant seat on the market.
