Review on 💻 Corsair K83 Wireless Keyboard: Versatile Bluetooth & USB Connectivity for PC, Smart TV, and Streaming Box - Enhanced Backlit LED by Derek Faseworld

Got this to replace my 3YO Logitech K400 and so far I love it. Obviously this is a significant improvement over the K400. I needed a backlit keyboard as I'm moving my computer to a dark place where the lighting isn't that bright. In any case, I don't really like the overhead lighting and had occasional trouble typing on the K400, mainly due to the lack of a backlight and also because its keys are stupidly close together. The K83 feels much smoother and I like the key. travel a lot. Typing is very easy. I don't know why people have complained about the trackpad, I haven't had any issues with it. After registering my gestures in the iCue app, everything works perfectly. I never failed. Despite the small size of the trackpad, it works very well. Maybe they finished the software since March. I can't comment on how well it works over Bluetooth or how it switches between different modes, but I'll test it in the future. I have 3 problems with this keyboard so far: 1. No dedicated delete key. I use this key a lot and it annoys me to have to reach for the Fn key to activate it. In fact, I only enabled the three-finger swipe down gesture for Shift+Del because I don't like reaching for Fn. The backspace key is huge, they could slide 3 keys there, I don't know why they decided not to make at least 2.2. The battery life is meager. Charging 2 days (in my case) is not much. I use my computer a good few hours a day and even if the backlight is set to less than 50% and turns off after 5 seconds I still barely get 2 days out of it.3. There is a buzzing noise in the keyboard when charging via the PC's USB ports (I've tried using the 3.0 and 2.0 ports but to no avail). When I use a regular 5V phone charger, the buzzing goes away. Overall I am happy with this keyboard. If the charging problem gets worse I can return it for a new one, but other than that I think it's fine.
