Corsair announced the launch of the new Corsair K83 Wireless Entertainment Keyboard, bringing control and versatility to living room PC setups. Combing both aluminum construction with advanced navigation and flexible control over a range of multiple devices, including smart TVs and streaming media players, the K83 Wireless is the centerpiece of any living room entertainment center.
Alongside its stylish anodized aluminum frame and white LED backlit custom Corsair ultra-low profile keyswitches, the K83 boasts an intuitive key layout that puts all the entertainment essentials within easy reach, whether you’re searching for the next episode, controlling playback, or exploring the latest game. Its contoured keycaps help your fingers settle in comfortably with a host of media shortcuts and hotkeys.
But browsing large media libraries requires more than just keys, and the K83 Wireless also has a number of ways to browse content or even play games casually from the couch. An analog joystick makes menus easier to navigate and plays games like a gamepad when combined with the familiar WASD keys. A precision multi-touch touchpad and dedicated right/left click buttons making mouse cursor movement and clicks easy, with separate left and right click buttons also found on the shoulders of the keyboard. Whether you’re navigating through menus on your TV, streaming media player, or living room PC running Windows 10, the K83 Wireless offers a huge array of options to make browsing content easier, while also being a comfortable gaming experience.
The keyboard sports the latest in Corsair‘s wireless technology with ultra-fast 1ms 2.4GHz wireless speed, using 128-bit AES wireless encryption to protect your personal data. The addition of low-latency Bluetooth wireless offers further flexibility to quickly connect to even more devices without a USB port. A USB-rechargeable battery powers the K83 Wireless, providing up to 40 hours of continuous use.
Finally, the K83 Wireless takes advantage of Corsair iCUE software for powerful customization through a single intuitive interface. Users can recalibrate and fine-tune the joystick, create macros and remap keys, adjust the LED backlighting, and configure Windows touchpad gestures.
With the ability to control PC’s, compatible smart TV’s, streaming media players and more, the K83 Wireless Entertainment Keyboard lets you take command of your living room entertainment like never before.
