Our Verdict
ROCCAT Vulcan 120 AIMO
Corsair K83 Wireless
The Corsair K83 Wireless and the ROCCAT Vulcan 120 AIMO are both very good keyboards designed for different uses. The Corsair is a wireless scissor-switch keyboard with a built-in trackpad designed to use while sitting on your couch. Meanwhile, the ROCCAT is a wired gaming keyboard with mechanical switches meant to stay on a desk within a gaming setup. They both feel very well-made and have excellent backlighting, but the typing experience on the ROCCAT is a little bit better thanks to its mechanical switches. On the other hand, the Corsair has better compatibility with a wide range of operating systems.
