Corsair K100 RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (CHERRY MX SPEED Keyswitches: Linear and Rapid, Leatherette Palm Rest, PBT Double-Shot Keycaps, Elgato Stream Deck Integration) QWERTY, Black

Product Information

Tactile CHERRY MX Ultra Low Profile mechanical keyswitches are illuminated by brilliant per-key RGB, for the responsiveness and customizable lighting you demand of a premium gaming keyboard. The impressive CORSAIR K100 RGB mechanical gaming keyboard combines stunning aluminum design with per-key RGB lighting and a 44-zone LightEdge. Extra features include per-key RGB backlighting, dedicated media controls, and versatile wireless connectivity with the ability to pair multiple devices simultaneously, including computers, consoles, and mobile devices.

Through infrared signals and linear mechanics, the K100 detects keystrokes with an actuation force of 45 grams at an actuation point of just 1. Compared to traditional mechanical keyboards that last up to tens of millions, the K100 sets a new measure for durability.

CORSAIR OPX RGB optical-mechanical keyswitches, guaranteed for 150 million keypresses, offer hyper-fast 1. I type about 1,2 million words per year, so I could feel my wrist starting to ache a bit, especially on longer writing sessions. In summary, double-shot (or, double-layered) PBT keycaps are some of the most durable offerings on the market, and Corsair claims that the ones on the K100 can withstand up to 150 million key presses. In many cases, the extra buttons and dialers can be viewed as gimmicks and make you question whether there's just too much on one plate.

If you want the kitchen sink of gaming keyboards, the K100 is now the most customizable, feature-rich keyboard on the market.

They perform very similarly in their RGB backlighting customization, maximum polling rate settings, and extremely low latency. This keyboard uses tactile butterfly-style switches, which offer a typing experience similar to many laptop keyboards. Through the iCue software, which I'll go more in-depth with later on, you can remap any key on the board, set macros, and even designate an RGB lighting effect per switch. However, the Razer is a wireless keyboard, which is great if you want to keep a clean, wire-free setup, and it can be paired to multiple devices simultaneously so that you can switch between them easily. The ASUS ROG Claymore II and the Corsair K100 RGB are both gaming keyboards, but the ASUS is wireless, and the Corsair is wired-only.
