Product testers praised the Corsair K57 RGB Wireless Gaming Keyboard, recommending it for gaming and the office. Testers at PC Mag were impressed by the 2° to 7° incline settings and a wrist rest. See our Dierya x KEMOVE DK60 Pro review if you don’t want a wrist rest. They were also pleased with its per-key RGB lighting settings. Its Bluetooth tech impressed and it connected to three devices simultaneously. Although primarily wireless, this full-size keyboard also connects via a USB cable.

Check out the ASUS ROG Falchion review if you prefer a compact 65% model. The device impressed with its 2.9 ms wired latency but the 17.1 ms Bluetooth latency proved to be high. Its rubber dome switches proved remarkably quiet during testing. Explore the Corsair K55 RGB PRO review for a mechanical model with linear switches. Analysts at Tom’s Guide were disappointed by its cheap plastic frame and mushy typing experience. See our Corsair K60 RGB PRO Low Profile review for a mechanical keyboard with a better typing experience.
