Our Verdict
Razer Cynosa Chroma
Corsair K57 RGB WIRELESS
The Corsair K57 RGB WIRELESS is better than the Razer Cynosa Chroma. Both use rubber dome switches and have full RGB backlighting, but the Corsair is wireless, has dedicated macro keys, and comes with a wrist rest, while the keys on the Razer are a bit lighter to press.
