Corsair K63, Lapboard and Dark Core Unplug and Play Review

K63 Wireless TKL Mechanical Keyboard

For battery life reasons the K63 only has blue LEDs, which is a bit of a rollback to earlier days of LED keyboards. We’d probably prefer white LEDs for their flexibility, or at least a switch to change between a couple of the main colours, but blue is super popular so it makes a lot of sense.

  

The K63 is a TKL design, shorn of the number pad cluster. Away from that element it’s extremely familiar to anyone who has seen any keyboard Corsair have released in the last few years, with their hemispherical media keys and textured space bar being particular cornerstones of their design team.

  
  
  

With any wireless arrangement battery life is a key element to pay attention to. There is nothing worse than suddenly losing power at a critical moment, and as more and more online gaming is about high intensity at all times, every moment is a critical one.

  

As well as the wrist rest built into the Lapboard the K63 Keyboard has a wrist rest included too. We’ll keep telling you how much of a boon these are until everyone is using them. You also get a long cable and wireless dongle to connect it all to your PC. We definitely think you should get all these items together, but by keeping a single receiver for each piece of hardware Corsair keep the response time at that 1ms we all demand to let us express out skills to their fullest.
