The wireless dongle is terrible with the touchpad.

First things first. The trackpad works like absolute garbage 5 feet from my laptop with one button. The mouse pointer jumps across the screen and two finger movements are registered only half the time, and the rest of the time the mouse pointer twitches. I realized I'm not the only one who has noticed this from reading other reviews/comments, so I doubt my device is faulty. All with the latest firmware. I find that completely unacceptable for such a high price. Strangely, the keyboard seems to…

Pros
  • Excellent Price
Cons
  • Weight

Good mechanics, poor radio

I was looking for a replacement for my Logitech K830 as the function key is a bit annoying and the touchpad is not very good. My requirement is a thin backlit wireless touchpad keyboard. There aren't many options in this area. The Corsair K83 has an excellent backlight and a nice touchpad. The "joystick" keys are oddly placed and mostly useless, but otherwise the keyboard is mechanically superior to the K830. Edit: After updating to the latest firmware (19.05) remote keystrokes register much…

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…

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Long wait

Great concept, terrible touchpad.

K83 I have about a week and will return it. The actual buttons are good, the materials are great, but the "precise touchpad" is far from accurate. Mine may be broken, but two finger scrolling (with default settings) is terrible on Windows 10. Maybe 10% of the scrolls don't register, which is annoying, but about 5% of the time they register, but the system sends the mouse cursor to the very edge of the screen. But even if the touchpad is simply flawed, the actual design is rather imperfect due…

Pros
  • Elegant Design
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Nice update to my K400, works fine (even trackpad) with 3 errors

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…

  • Decent performance
Cons
