KitGuru says: The K57 RGB Wireless is a feature-packed keyboard that I've really enjoyed using. If you're just looking for a standard, wired keyboard for use at one desk this won't be for you – but if you want a solid, practical board for use between multiple systems then this is definitely for you.
