Review on πŸ’» Corsair K83 Wireless Keyboard: Versatile Bluetooth & USB Connectivity for PC, Smart TV, and Streaming Box - Enhanced Backlit LED by Jason Holt

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Unacceptable for keyboards, mice and accessories

I really wanted to like it but it seems nobody makes a quality HTPC keyboard these days. where to start First off, there's nothing good about the trackpad. The texture is bad, the shape and size is bad, the response is bad, gestures don't work properly, things that need to be reconfigured in the app don't work, and the app doesn't work at all when connected via Bluetooth. , that's exactly how I wanted to use it. The volume wheel is too sensitive and the mute function is almost non-existent, as it's almost impossible to press the wheel without turning it slightly and instantly activating the sound. A stick would be fantastic for 4-way scrolling, but that's not an option; All you can do with it is clumsily move the cursor, and it moves at two preset (FAST) speeds, rather than being analog as the form factor would suggest. There's no dedicated delete key, although there's plenty of room in the top row, the WASD keys are randomly color-coded to make them look like awkward gaming devices, and there's a giant button on the back right that you'll most likely detach the keyboard from . (Be prepared to disable this as you will never press it on purpose). Also, releasing a non-budget device that still charges via Micro-USB should be penalized at this point. This is a bad port. stop using it The quality of the keyboard itself is top-notch, as are the materials and finish. That alone costs $50. Too bad it costs twice as much. Save money and buy a cheap Logitech while you wait for someone to make a decent product.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
