Our Verdict

Corsair K63 Wireless

Corsair K57 RGB WIRELESS

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.
