Corsair K63 Keyboard Review - Best Entry Level Keyboard

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: encors they have released their k63 entrylevel keyboard which comes in at 80 USD or $119 Australian dollar though one has to question whether this keyboard is worthy of a spot in the life of a yes man well let's find out welcome to Tech City this is your yes man coming to you guys today with another keyboard review though this time it's corsair's entry level Cherry MX red switch 10 keyless solution so it has the 10 numad keys on the right missing making it a bit narrower than your standard keyboard though with this model coming in at 365 mm wide by 170 mm tall it also weighs in at 1.1 kg so it does have a little bit of weight to it though what about the elevated key switches well of course they have decided to go with the Cherry MX Reds in this model which actually about halfway down Ander a linear switch with abs key caps the key caps are allow the static red LED back lighting to show through and there's also a red back plate underneath the keys which allow the red light to shine through and looks quite good especially in the dark I have found typing on all the keys to have really good consistency and also be very rigid in that there was no flexibility and all the keys and the way they have been implemented in the k63 are all topnotch as for noise on this keyboard I found it to be about midway between that of a blue switch and that of a top Ray though I'll let you guys take a listen the responsiveness of the keys however is only a fly behind that of their new Cherry MX speed switches which Corsair using the k95 Platinum Edition which actuated a slightly higher Point than that of the Reds so this is something that professional Gamers looking for every bit of Advantage may want to consider with the case 63 versus a higher end model I personally prefer the higher actuation points even though I'm a scrub has been nowadays when it comes to professional gaming looking at the top of the keyboard Corsair have included media playback Keys a Windows lock key and also a brightness key that allows for three different levels of brightness adjustment I personally preferred Max brightness kind of like one is to prefer Mr Max powers to Mr no gains and on the rear side of the keyboard you get four rubber feet and an additional level of height adjustment there is No rist Rest included with this keyboard and the cable is a good 2 m in length testing out the k63 in games showed it to be just like any other mechanical keyboard when gaming and that is a matter of opinion and what's best for you though I will say it was a good experience when playing some csgo very responsive and also very easy to use though I do feel like your mouse is a much more important choice if you are serious about being competitive the included Q2 software also allows you to change standard keys to different keys strokes and also program individual macros the lighting effects also allow for multiple effects at once where you can adjust speed and opacity of those effects though on this keyboard you can only do that in the color red lastly Corsair claimed this keyboard has anti- ghosting properties and full and key rollover and with my super spam test it performed very well missing no keys at all so when it comes down to it the k63 is a solid keyboard from Corsair one with consistent build quality all throughout the keyboard with an easy matte black look as well that doesn't soak up any fingerprints and sure there are cheaper options out there for keyboards especially ones with knockoff clone switches but I don't think they'll be as consistent as this keyboard is though the only thing I'd like to see on the k63 in the future is the use of speed switches instead of the Reds though that is just a personal preference and I think at its price it is a great option for someone looking for a premium keyboard but doesn't need the features that more expensive keyboards have especially if you aren't going to utilize those features anyway and better still there is the option to assign macro keys with the software and you still have the backlighting to see your keys at nighttime or in a poorly lit room anyway guys the k63 at its current price point definitely gets the KN of approval from me and let me know in the comments section below what keyboard are you currently using and why love reading your comments as always and if

and I'll catch you guys in another tech video very soon peace out for now byecors they have released their k63 entrylevel keyboard which comes in at 80 USD or $119 Australian dollar though one has to
