Corsair K63 Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard With Cherry Red Switches
Corsair has released a Cherry MX Red mechanical keyboard, the K63 Wireless. It's a fairly handy keyboard being wireless, of course, it is lacking the numeric keys. So why is this an attractive buy, well, if you are into the lapdog, you can fit it onto that.
The keyboard lacks numeric keys and adopts Cherry MX Red, the BLUE LEDs are equipped as a standard in the backlight, so there's no RGB functionality. The wireless connection supports Bluetooth 4.2 (2.4 GHz and 128-bit AES wireless encryption) but can also be connected through USB if you'd prefer that.
- Connect using ultra-fast 1ms 2.4GHz gaming-optimized wireless technology, low latency Bluetooth wireless, or USB wired
- 100% CHERRY MX Red mechanical key switches with gold contacts for fast, precise key presses
- Per-key, blue LED backlighting and large font keycaps deliver vibrant lighting effects
- 128-bit AES encryption mode helps protect your keystrokes from wireless eavesdropping to keep your personal data safe
- Compact and portable tenkeyless design saves on space and makes travel easy
It also features gaming functions a poll rate at 1,000 Hz, N key rollover, 100% anti-ghosting. Furthermore, using CORSAIR proprietary software "CORSAIR Utility Engine", LED customization for each key is a possibility as well. The 91 keys fit into the W 366 × D 173 × H 41mm frame and the unit weights about 1.09 kg.
We already have a review sample in house, so expect a little more detail soon. Pricing should hover at the 109 USD marker.

I wouldn't buy any keyboard that's over £60. It's a few bits of plastic that can be constructed for a pittance of the price they sell it for. And for the small amount of difference it makes to gaming, there's no point in paying over the odds

That's what I meant. I do not mind absence of num keypad much. Except, that it should decrease price. My keyboard is 1.2kg block. (Not really something I would like to use anywhere outside desk.)
keyboard 1.1kg looks like 60% of space, so entire thing + mouse should be like 1.6kg. (I would not call it comfortable.)

Actually, I'm testing it as we speak, really I'm having a blast playing GTA-V on my 65" Ultra HD telly. The lapboard has a soft foam under it, very comfy and I am not at all bothered by its weight (1.65kg in total) as that padding spreads the weight. Anyway, with a bit of luck, I'll have a small review ready for tomorrow.

Is mouse pad surface replaceable? Is it durable? (Well, I'll probably learn it tomorrow.)

Got one of these w/ the lapboard through amazon @ the end of January.
I had recently consolidated my best computer gear in my HTPC and made a computer for my brother out of the spare parts.
We use a floating 23" monitor in various places and the big 60" and for both gaming and general productivity its just a much nicer experience than the Macguyver like solutions we'd been cobbling together with what was at hand around the apartment.
When I have something long-ish to write or gonna be doing more stuff on the computer for a while - I bust out the lapboard and its super nice!
I dont have that good a wireless mouse yet so I havent used it for all that much gaming since I do a lot of controller based games. Im saving my run through on Bioshock Infinite for when I get a decent mouse! That said as mentioned its really comfy on the lap and feels like a lot of space for mousing.
Yes - the pad is replaceable.
