Our Verdict

Corsair K68 RGB

Corsair K63 Wireless

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.
