The Corsair K63 Wireless is an exceptional and versatile keyboard. It can be paired using its wireless USB receiver or through Bluetooth, and it can connect to two devices at a time for easy multitasking. It has linear Cherry MX Red switches that feel extremely responsive, and it has excellent compatibility with various operating systems. It's designed to fit into the Corsair Lapboard, which provides support and stability when using the keyboard with a home theater PC, although it's sold separately, and we haven't reviewed it. Sadly, its backlighting is limited to a single blue color, and it doesn't have onboard memory or a cloud sync feature to export your customization settings. On the whole, though, it's a great option for gaming or work.
Our Verdict
The Corsair K63 Wireless is an amazing gaming keyboard. Its Cherry MX Red switches feel light and responsive, and it has backlighting for those who like to game in the dark. Also, its latency over a wired connection is impressively low, although it's a bit higher when used with the receiver or over Bluetooth. You can reprogram or set macros to any key, but there aren't any dedicated macro keys for MMO games.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
The Corsair K63 Wireless is available in two variants, with the only difference between them being the color of the backlighting; there's blue and ice blue. While we tested the blue LED variant, we expect most of our results to be valid for the ice blue variant, too. There's also a wired version of this keyboard, which has red LED backlighting.
The Corsair K63 is designed to work with the Corsair Lapboard, which is meant for use with home theater PCs, as it allows you to sit back on the couch and still have proper support for the keyboard and mouse. It's sold separately, but it's often sold as a bundle with the keyboard.
Popular Keyboard Comparisons
The Corsair K63 Wireless is an excellent mechanical gaming keyboard. When compared to other keyboards in this price range, its build quality isn't as good and it lacks full RGB backlighting. However, it's more versatile than other keyboards, as it can be used on a desk or in conjunction with the Corsair Lapboard if you have a home theater PC. For other options, check out our recommendations for the best keyboards, the best gaming keyboards, and the best wireless keyboards.
The Corsair K65 LUX RGB and the Corsair K63 Wireless are similar TKL gaming keyboards. The K65 LUX feels much better built, it has RGB lighting, and it has a USB passthrough. However, the K63 is more versatile thanks to its wireless capabilities, and its Cherry MX Red switches have a slightly lower pre-travel distance than the Cherry MX Red switches on the K65 LUX.
The Corsair K63 Wireless is better than the Corsair K57 RGB WIRELESS. It has mechanical keys, and it's smaller as it's a TKL keyboard. Meanwhile, the K57 has full RGB backlighting, and since it's a full-sized keyboard, it includes a Numpad.
The SteelSeries Apex 7 TKL and the Corsair K63 Wireless are mechanical TenKeyLess gaming keyboards with several important differences. The SteelSeries has an OLED screen, a USB passthrough, and full RGB backlighting. Its companion software is also compatible with Windows and macOS, and it has a sturdier-feeling build. It's available with tactile SteelSeries Brown, linear Red, and clicky Blue switches. On the other hand, the Corsair can be connected wired or wirelessly, either with an included USB receiver or via Bluetooth. It's only available with Cherry MX Red switches that provide a responsive, linear typing quality without any feedback.
The Corsair K63 Wireless is better than the Corsair K68 RGB. These two keyboards are very similar in design, as the K68 is basically a full-size, wired version of the K63 with RGB backlighting. However, since the K68 is wired, it doesn't have a multi-device pairing feature, and it can't be used with mobile devices.
