It feels like a full-featured gaming keyboard. Having the backlight is great though, especially if you plan to use the K63 Wireless in a dark living room environment. Half-brightness, however, can bump that up to about 20 hours per charge, and Corsair claims turning off the backlight extends life to 75 hours. At full brightness you’ll eke out a mere 8-10 hours of battery life. Not only does it use our preferred Cherry MX switches (as opposed to Logitech’s proprietary Romer-Gs), it also packs full per-key backlighting-the only wireless mechanical keyboard to do so. Of the two, Corsair’s version (available on Amazon for $110) is the one were happy to recommend. “Wireless mechanical keyboard.” Until recently the category didn’t exist, and now there are two options: Logitech’s G613 and Corsair’s K63 Wireless. (Read our full review of the Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 Low Profile.) There’s a reason the K95 is on this list as well (as our ultra-premium pick)-Corsair makes quality keyboards. Aside from the Low Profile switch, this is your standard K70, meaning a set of dedicated media keys and a volume roller in the top-right corner, USB pass-through on the rear, a durable brushed-metal chassis that can really take a beating, a wrist rest, and more. If you use a laptop all day at work and want a similar feel for your gaming keyboard, this new Low Profile switch is your best friend.Īnd while Corsair’s first out the gate here, it’s not winning this recommendation purely on timeliness. Personally I prefer a desktop typing experience, but as I said: Muscle memory is powerful. ![]() The K70 RGB MK.2 Low Profile is laid out like a laptop keyboard, not completely flat but much more so than a standard desktop keyboard with its staggered rows. And with this new Low Profile switch, Corsair’s reworked the K70’s ergonomics. The Low Profile MX Speed sits at 3.2mm, 1.0mm, and requires the same 45 grams of force.”Īny differences are so small as to be negligible, even for the most devoted mechanical keyboard enthusiasts. “The full-sized MX Speed features a travel distance of 3.4mm, an actuation of 1.2mm, and requires 45 grams of force. (Read our full review Fnatic Streak RGB.) It’s an elegant solution to a longstanding issue, and indicates how much thought went into reworking the Streak. Fnatic flips the entire switch on the Function row though, putting the LED at the bottom of the key and then front-printing the alternate commands so both are lit up. You’ll notice on every RGB keyboard except Logitech’s, the letters are shifted towards the top-that’s to let the light through. Fnatic uses Cherry keys, which are notorious for having an offset LED. It’s both compact and comfortable.īut it’s the backlighting that really wins me over. Only about two inches wide, you’re able to move it to any of three different positions. ![]() Press it, and your F1 to F12 keys will default to their secondary functions. This is one of the few gaming keyboards I’ve seen equipped with a Function Lock button, a standard on laptops but a rarity otherwise. With rounded corners, a slim chassis, and minimal branding, the Streak barely looks like a gaming keyboard at all. Much classier than the G.Skill Ripjaws KM780 that used to rule this subsection. Listing at $130, it’s barely more expensive than our budget pick, and absolutely packed with benefits to justify the price bump. Fnatic’s second-generation Streak is probably the best bang-for-your-buck RGB keyboard on the market right now.
