Our Verdict

iClever Tri-Folding Keyboard BK08

Corsair K83 Wireless

The Corsair K83 Wireless is a better wireless keyboard with a built-in trackpad than the iClever Tri-Folding Keyboard BK08. The Corsair feels better-built, has slightly better ergonomics, has customizable backlighting, can be used wired, offers a better typing experience, and has companion software. On the other hand, the iClever is better for taking around with you, thanks to its foldable design.
