Corsair K63 Wireless + Lapboard

Product Information

This product is designed for mobility. The foldable design means it reduces in size when you’re not using the keyboard. If you want a simple, sleek product that also benefits from high-end gaming hardware, it’s hard to see where you can go wrong with this product. Wireless mouse (sold separately)|PC with a USB 3.0 or 3.1 Type-A port|Windows® 10, Windows 8.1, or Windows 7*|Internet connection for iCUE software do For those who want a product that will stand the test of time, the Corsair K63 is a reliable option. You can even replace the mousepad if you’re going to update the lapboard in the future. This product does not include a keyboard or mouse. It also doesn’t have any designated areas to attach or place your hardware. This might prove slightly annoying for gamers who want more stability.

Size is not to be underestimated as a factor in these tests. Sure, you want a desktop experience on the couch, but you also don’t want a big hunk of plastic taking up space in your living room. The Lapdog and the Sova are hard to hide, and you’ll almost definitely need to dedicate a spot specifically for storing them when they aren’t in use. The turret not only folds up, it comes with a neat little stand for both the mouse and keyboard that displays them nicely while they charge. Because of this, I never had a problem with battery life for either device, which Razer says is up to 40 hours on the mouse and a whopping four months on the keyboard, and they never got in my way. One reviewer wrote: “Great to use on the couch for PC gaming, or just use the top in a recliner as a lapboard. I use it daily and it's worth the money.” That being said, the Turret is not really what you’d think of as a “gaming” keyboard. It’s essentially the same kind of flat chiclet keyboard you’d find on a MacBook laptop, with a bit more spring to each key press. It works well and will be more than enough for those not looking to play fast-paced games on it, but it was a little bit of a problem when I tried to play Overwatch or Warframe. The flatness of the keys and the lapboard overall meant I had to twist my hand slightly to hit a certain combinations of keys, like pressing Q while keeping my fingers on WASD. It wasn’t terrible, but it was noticeably more difficult than using a full-sized keyboard. The whole lapboard is plastic, with about an inch of memory foam on the bottom so that it's comfortable on your lap. There's also a built-in wrist rest as well, but I didn't find it to be comfortable. The problem is when using a keyboard on a desk, your wrists are more or less straight while your hands extend over the relatively flat keys. On my lap, however, the keyboard is below where it normally would be, so my wrists were always at an angle. The added height of the lapboard’s memory foam cushion does help mitigate this a bit, but I found my wrists hurt after a long gaming session, and felt like a softer wrist support may have alleviated some of the discomfort. This model is for both keyboards and laptops. If you use a laptop to game, this is the only option on our list that helps you take your whole computer off your desk. Instead of hunching over your screen, you can sit upright when you’re playing your favorite games.

Corsair’s new Gaming Lapboard is a real winner. The last time we reviewed the Lapdog, I said it took a no-compromises approach to living room gaming, but that a few compromises might’ve made for a better product. Now I can definitely answer that in the affirmative, as this second-generation version does make those compromises and is absolutely a better product. It’s large enough to still bring high-performance PC gaming into the living room, but small enough that you might actually want to keep it around. That’s all I could really ask for. Roccat is a German hardware design company that produces a range of high-end computer hardware. It was recently taken over by Turtle Beach. The company has an acute focus on functionality, which helps it build lapboards explicitly designed for the needs of gamers. Still, it’s essential to keep in mind that this product is much larger than the other options on this list. If you want to take advantage of the full benefits of this product, expect it to take up most of your couch or bed. title=More%20Expert%20Tech%20Roundups&type=articles%2Cvideos&tags=tech-roundup&count=6&columnCount=6&theme=article

It’s also an excellent system if you currently use wired peripheral devices. There is an internal space that helps you avoid wire issues and reduce cord-related clutter. The Sova is generally an easy-to-use lapboard, but it is a big piece of plastic that will be sitting around in your living room. Even if it doesn’t have much of an effect on your gameplay experience, finding a spot to store a lapboard like this is important. Razer's Turret is much smaller and designed to be easily stored, but the Sova is thinner than Corsair's Lapdog and doesn’t detach into two pieces. That made it much easier for me to find a place for it in my living room when not in use. The USB cable that plugs into the computer also has a point where it can disconnect (similar to a wired Xbox 360 controller) close to the board itself, which made putting away the cord a lot easier.The minimalist design of this product is perfect for gamers who want a sleek device. It’s hard to find a better looking product on the market. You’ll benefit from four USB 3.0 inputs that allow you to control your keyboard, mouse, and gaming headphones. It’s an excellent choice for Xbox One users. Gamers benefit from up to 32 feet of range without any lag increases. The Couchmaster CYCON consists of a gaming lapboard and two large memory foam cushions that support either side of the platform. Your arms rest on these cushions, which also lift the lapboard above your legs for ultimate comfort.
