Customer Ratings & Reviews

Corsair has been the subject of many conversations in the past few months. I usually come across at least two people a week, asking me if I could recommend one of their headsets, keyboards or mice. And I have to say, it's pretty easy to do, as Corsair rarely misses. Now, here I am, with the honor to be able to try out another, dare I say it, straight-up banger. And it's on the lower end of the budget. The Corsair Skiff 100 Plus, has all of the coolest bells and whistles that can actually benefit you while you stream, write up documents for work, of for what it's meant for. Gaming. First of all, you've got a full, 100% keyboard (That's number pad and all), with a detachable wrist rest included. The RGBs pop and there are many different customizations that I can program. Giving off just enough luminance to look good without distracting me from my task, at hand. Those G keys on the side come in, clutch when setting up short-cuts, like quick phrases or general multi-button prompts, or they're just comfortably out of the way. Ever wish you could adjust your volume, on the fly, without any mouse wiggle? Well, viola! The rotary dial, up in the right corner is there to give you complete media control of that. As you read this, know that my daughter is asleep right next to me as I type out this review, while using this keyboard. It's so whisper quiet, that she isn't the least bit disturbed. I like to have drinks on hand while I stream my gameplay. And unfortunately, I have had instances where I would ruin a keyboard, over a juice spill. Here, I can be confident , while really getting into the game and maybe even rage a little (I don't recommend doing that, but it does happen.). If I were to spill on this one, it is IP53 dust and water resistant. It's also not a hefty unit, so it can be carried to a LAN party, if need be. I plan on using this one on my PS5, for chatting, as it is usable on both of your major consoles, as well as PCs. I've already got a keyboard for my Xbox SX, so this is perfect. Typing is buttery, smooth and I really enjoy the comfort of what looks like a mechanical keyboard, with a feel similar to a membrane style. All of this goodness, with such an affordable price tag. I can't help but give such high praise. Christmas is coming up. You've got that gamer to think about, even if that gamer is you. (It's me. I'm that gamer, by the way.) Corsair just doesn't miss. I love it.

I am happily typing this review on my new CORSAIR SKIFF 100 Plus gaming keyboard. I have been very pleased with it so far. It has many great features and a few things that I wish were different. Value I think, for a gaming keyboard, it is a good value. At $70 it’s half the cost of many other gaming keyboards with some important caveats. For one, this is a membrane keyboard - not mechanical. If you want a mechanical keyboard, keep scrolling. That said, I prefer a quieter keyboard and this is somewhere between mechanical and membrane sounding. It sounds a little clicky, but a softer click. It has some nice features you would expect like, six programmable keys, RGB lighting, and a dial for volume. Easy to Use This keyboard is so easy to use. One of my favorite features is the fact that I did not need to install any software to map keys or change colors. There is a website that handles all that. This was a big win for me because I wanted to be able to use this keyboard with my PC and my work laptop but I can’t install any software on my work laptop, but I can go to Corsair’s website to set it up. The main gripe I have about this keyboard is the layout of any key that has more than one character, for example, the 4 key is also the $ key. Every keyboard I have ever used puts the 4 on the bottom and the $ on top. For some reason all of these keys are reversed. It is a small annoyance but it is one I can deal with. Performance I have had no lag or response issues. The colors look fairly bright and vibrant. I like the detachable wrist pad for support. Everything works well as it should. Overall As I mentioned, if you want a clicky mechanical keyboard, this is not it. If you want a mid range gaming keyboard that sounds a little clicky, that has a lot of features and is very easy to use, this is a great choice. With the full ten-key it is also good for me to use for work. I work from home and I’m a Data Analyst and the ten-key is a must. So overall this is a very versatile keyboard that could really work for anyone.

The Corsair Skiff 100 Plus is a premium feeling keyboard packed with features, yet it’s priced surprisingly competitively compared to others in its class. It’s built for gaming, but it has the kind of thoughtful functionality that makes it a reliable daily workhorse. The first thing you notice is how responsive the keys feel. They have a soft bounce with a fast return, giving you quick feedback without the loud clack you’d expect from a gaming board. It manages near silent keystrokes while still delivering the tactile feel needed for more aggressive play. The next standout feature is the six programmable G buttons on the left side. Their most useful capability, at least for me, is macro recording. You can set them up through either the web interface or the iCue desktop software, and once programmed, they can automate just about anything. In my case, I use one button to run a Windows batch script that resets my video card when it fails to wake the monitors. Instead of digging through menus, I tap a single key and the script handles everything. The media knob is another great touch. A lot of keyboards use a vertical slider to keep the profile slim, but the Skiff’s knob is more intuitive. You just twist clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust volume or press down to control playback. It’s simple, but it feels natural like using a dial on a radio. Of course, it wouldn’t be a gaming keyboard without RGB customization. You get 10 color zones to tweak again through either the web interface or iCue. It’s flexible enough to match whatever mood you’re in. One underrated quality of life feature is the IP53 spill resistance. If you accidentally splash a drink or deal with dust, you can clean it up easily with an air blower. Even sugary spills are less of a nightmare since the design helps prevent liquid from seeping into every crevice. In the end, the Skiff 100 Plus delivers a ton of value for its price. With all these features and the overall build quality, it’s hard not to recommend this keyboard to potential buyers.

This keyboard has some really great features for the price. Quiet keys, programmable buttons, a multifunction knob that controls music/media right out of the box. You also get an easy toggle for adjusting RGB effect directly from a button without having to dive into software every time you want to play with it. __ Design __ It looks and feels great. I imagine that being a wired keyboard allowed for it’s affordability, but you get a lot here with quality keys, a soft palm rest, and programmable keys that stay out of the way and don’t increase the its footprint at all. I love the full-size numpad and nicely separated arrow keys. Its black plastic feels typical and expected, but it’s also solid underhand. Probably my favorite aspects are the quiet keys and dust/water resistance. We’ve killed our last two keyboards by another brand due to cat hair and debris ultimately causing keys to stick and I hope the design here will prevent similar issues with dust ingress. The keys themselves feel great, with just a slight squishiness that likely stems from their sound deadening design. I prefer keeping the palm rest attached as it strikes the right balance of padding and support. It also appears to be much better at resisting skin oils… but time will tell. __ Performance __ In being a wired keyboard, it comes across as having just about no lag. I almost forgot how generally unnecessary wireless keyboards are... The attached USB cord it not intrusive on my desk and it appears to only have upsides in being both more affordable, and quick to respond. __ Overall __ This is a nicely versatile keyboard at a great price. It’s definitely quieter than every keyboard we’ve owned before, but key travel remains great. The standard layout feels spacious and the detachable palm rest is a great inclusion. RGB lighting is fun, and with 10 zones, it creates smooth gradients under a milky, splash-resistant membrane. Highly recommended because it hits all of the sweet spots, including cost.

This Corsair SKIFF is a nicely made, budget-friendly keyboard. While it doesn't have the premium touches found on Corsair's higher-end models, it still delivers the same solid performance while offering a few advantages of its own. This is a full-size gaming keyboard with IP53 spill resistance and vibrant RGB lighting. It also includes a wrist rest with a smooth, rubberized surface that almost feels like silicone, making it comfortable to use for extended periods. The RGB lighting is bright and colorful, and one feature I really liked is that the lights are like a single continuous piece, creating an even glow with no visible light leaks. Setup is about as simple as it gets, just plug it in via the attached USB-A cable and you're ready to go. The cable is not detachable. To customize the lighting and settings, Corsair's Web Hub is currently required, although the manufacturer states that iCUE support is expected by the end of September. At the moment, the Web Hub offers fairly limited customization. You can assign macros to the six dedicated macro keys, but the lighting options are limited to preset effects. I assume the advertised 10 customizable RGB zones will become available once iCUE fully supports this keyboard. Performance is excellent for both gaming and everyday typing. I played several shooter games, and the keyboard felt responsive throughout. It features a 1,000Hz polling rate, and I experienced no issues with responsiveness. The keys are soft, highly responsive, and surprisingly quiet. In fact, this is one of the quietest keyboards I've ever used. If you enjoy the loud, clicky feel of traditional mechanical keyboards, this isn't the keyboard for you. The keycaps appear to be non-removable due to the spill-resistant design. I tried to pop one out but after a bit of pressure it was no budging, I let it be. There's a dedicated volume knob that can also function as a media control, but it currently requires software customization that isn't yet available. Overall and for the price, this is an excellent budget-friendly keyboard. It may not have the premium aesthetics or high-end features of Corsair's flagship models, but it offers strong performance along with useful features like IP53 spill resistance, vibrant RGB lighting, dedicated macro keys, and convenient media controls. While software customization is somewhat limited at launch, it appears to have promising support planned for the near future. In the box, you'll find the keyboard, the wrist rest, and the warranty documentation.

It’s been a while since I used membrane keyboard for gaming. I typically use mechanical keyboards. Performance and features are two main reasons why I game with mechanical keyboards. Then comes the Corsair Skiff 100 Plus. It’s a full-size keyboard with macro shortcut and it has almost all the features I want from mechanical keyboards. From the start this keyboard has been giving me good vibes. Design As a full-size keyboard, it comes with great set of features. There’s 6 programmable G-Keys for macros, rotary dial, and of course being a gaming keyboard it comes with RGB lighting. Two main advantages of this keyboard over mechanical keyboard are IPS-3 spill resistance rating and it’s quiet but responsive membrane keys. Performance I’ve been playing Hell Divers 2 with this keyboard, and I’ve been having so much fun using it. The keys respond well, and even when I press them hard, they don’t produce the clacky sound typical of mechanical keyboards. In shooting games like HD 2, it doesn’t feel like there’s a discernible reduction in terms of key responsiveness. This is a great keyboard if your gaming PC is in the bedroom and you don’t want to disturb your significant other. The detachable wrist rest is comfortable to use, and it makes long gaming sessions more bearable. Also, there are dedicated macro shortcut keys, which are super useful in some games. Conclusion I’ve been pleasantly surprised by what membrane gaming keyboards can offer. The Skiff 100 Plus is a legit gaming keyboard.

I’ll start by saying that I’ve preferred smaller keyboards in the past, but the Corsair SKIFF 100 Plus has changed my mind about using a full-size keyboard again. It comes with six dedicated G keys for recording and assigning macros without overwriting standard keys. It also includes a media dial and volume knob for quick adjustments, muting, and changing music tracks if that’s something you use. What I really like most are the membrane switches. They feel soft and low-impact, so if other people are sleeping nearby or you’re in a quiet setting, the keys won’t disturb anyone. I’ve been looking for a keyboard with a softer key feel for a while, and this one checks all the boxes. Having a gaming keyboard with smooth, quiet switches has been a pleasant surprise, and I got used to the full-size layout much faster than I expected. The keyboard also includes a detachable, soft-touch rubber wrist rest that is comfortable and easy on the wrists. I’ve used other wrist rests before, and this one compares well with the softer options I prefer. It does exactly what it should which is helping reduce wrist pressure during gaming or work. This keyboard has now become by daily driver for gaming and also has revitalized my love for full-sized keyboards. Nice job, Corsair.

So I think this keyboard must have been built with me in mind. LOL. It is so perfect for my needs and I really can't find a single thing bad to say about it. Living in a household with a couple of different types of gamers in my house, each one of us has different needs and priorities. The Corsair Skiff is for me. This is a full size keyboard, with a layout I am very familiar with so no learning curves like some of the other gaming keyboards I've used. Because it is a membrane keys and not mechanical, it is a lot quieter and for work, this is essential to me. But if you are a serious gamer, this is probably not what you are looking for. I love it because I can use it for work and easily switch it over for gaming, although I am a light gamer compared to others. The one outstanding thing that I love is the rotary dial for media. Maybe I'm just old school, but physical rotary dial is so much easier to use and to use without looking. And also, since this is a wired keyboard, response time is better than my wireless keyboards. The G-keys are a great addition and nicely located on the side of the keyboard. It did take me a bit to get accustomed to it, but again, I only use it for gaming purposes. The RGB lights looks great as well, even in the day time. So far, this has met both my needs in gaming and at work.

PRODUCT CORSAIR - SKIFF 100 PLUS Gaming Keyboard 10-Zone RGB QUICK REVIEW Virtually Silent Impressive RGB Gaming Keyboard REVIEW I like full size keyboards for everyday use and for gaming. The SKIFF 100 Plus has a comfortable and completely silent travel without feeling cheap. The stroke is little shorter travel than typical for a full size keyboard, but easy to get used to using. The colors are bright and the control knob for volume is great. I appreciate that you don't need to load dedicated software to control most of the functions, (You can use the Web Hub Tool). I do wish the web hub was more full featured. You can only control general lighting and G-Button Settings from the Web. For the price you get a lot of bang for the buck. From a hard core gaming keyboard, it is lacking a few features. - Control individual key LED's - Physical Differentiation of WSAD keys it is easy to lose your place. - There is no texture to the keys - easy to slip While there are programming G-Keys they are basically surface mounted making them hard to find by touch alone, without looking at what key your are pressing. If you prize a quiet gaming experience, this could be a great option for you, especial for the price. RECOMMENDATION I recommend it on price alone, and basic programmability.

So I received my Corsair SKIFF 100 PLUS Gaming Keyboard about a week ago and have been putting it through its paces (gaming as well as everyday usage). Now I’ve gone through my fair share of keyboards over the years from your basic keyboards to those more gamer-focused, and I have to say this keyboard falls somewhere nicely in the middle. It definitely has that gaming keyboard vibe going on, but at the same time it doesn’t feel overly flashy or like something that can only be used for gaming. And I felt that it would pair amazingly well with my ASUS ROG Strix gaming desktop; though it is also compatible with macOS, XOBX, and Playstation as well. Unboxing you'll find: * Corsair SKIFF 100 PLUS Gaming Keyboard * Detachable Wrist Rest * User Documentation Something that immediately drew my attention to this keyboard is just how comfortable and easy it is to use. Although this is a full-sized 104-key keyboard, it doesn’t feel overly complicated. On the right, you have a full number pad, and your standard keyboard layout to the left as well as six programmable G-keys going down the left side of the keyboard. These can be customized for macros, shortcuts, or other commands depending on what you need them for. In the top right corner is one of my favorite things about this keyboard, and that’s the media control knob. This controls your volume up and down as well as pressing it to mute the sound. It may seem like a small thing, but once you get used to having that knob sitting right there, it becomes one of those things you use all the time without really thinking about it. The RGB lighting is also customizable as well. The SKIFF 100 PLUS has 10-zone RGB lighting, and in my opinion it gives the keyboard just enough color without it looking like some over-the-top light show sitting on your desk. You can customize the lighting along with other settings by visiting Corsair’s online Web Hub, which I really like because you can make changes straight through your browser without necessarily having to download extra software. Now typing and gaming on this keyboard was fun. The keys have a very soft and smooth feel to them and they’re responsive without being too loud or clicky. I absolutely love that. The keys have a soft and clean sound that shouldn’t disturb others, especially if someone is on a call or sleeping nearby. Gaming performance has also been really good. The keys feel quick and responsive, and having those extra programmable G-keys gives you a little more flexibility depending on the game you’re playing. Another nice feature is the detachable wrist rest. It gives your wrists somewhere comfortable to sit during those longer gaming or typing sessions, but if you’re someone who doesn’t really care for wrist rests, you can simply remove it. Overall I have really enjoyed using this keyboard. It’s comfortable, responsive, quiet, customizable, and amazingly fun to use. Though meant for gaming, everyday tasks can be completed just fine. In my opinion, Corsair did a really good job with the SKIFF 100 PLUS, and I highly recommend it.

I really like this keyboard as one that I am using on my home office computer that I've setup for work. I don't game on it a bunch but I do occasionally play games when I'm not doing work stuff like designing or streaming. Like other Corsair keyboards, it's build quality is really quite good, especially for this range of keyboard. Here's a quick summary of what I think's great and could be better: What's great: - Quiet but yet responsive membrane keyboard (I was skeptical but this one actually is pretty responsive and it's nice to type documents on) - Programmable G-Keys (awesome for macros and customization .. I've been experimenting in using this functionality with AI separately from Corsair to launch custom tasks or set reminders) - 10 Zone lighting is a plus and just enough to allow you to customize it to your own which is really easy though I cannot wait for the iCue integration to be available - Spill/Dustproof switches make this keyboard ideal for work and play when you have drinks or snacks nearby and don't want to worry about spilling - Wrist rest is soft and comfortable and I like that it is attached or can be detached - Dial and media keys - I love the dial and the fn+media controls What could be better (or I wish it had): - A few more dedicated media keys like pause/play, ff, rw so you don't have to tap the function key to access them.... For what this keyboard is, I think it's great for a casual everyday keyboard for work or fun (or both!). It's definitely a few steps above the one that comes bundled with your desktop so I'd definitely get it to replace that, as this feels and looks much better than that. It would be the perfect replacement for a keyboard that's broken and until now I couldn't say I'd recommend one for everyday use outside of a Logitech and now that Corsair makes this one I'd definitely recommend this over one of those! Now just if Corsair could make a set!

The Corsair Skiff 100 Plus is a full-size membrane keyboard with a numeral pad (ten key) and a volume knob. Some of these things may sound basic but so many keyboards are now scaled smaller, eliminate the ten keys, and don't offer a volume control. It is designed for gamers who want a beginner friendly keyboard and it's available at a great price! The membrane keyboard keys are soft and quiet (versus a mechanical keyboard which provides "clicks"). The soft touch is great and is quiet for those times when you don't want to disturb those around you. I use mine everyday for typing as well as gaming so the membrane type is my preference. It includes a comfortable wrist rest that snaps in and has rubberized feet to keep it in place. This is a definite plus for those folks who don't lift their wrists while typing (who does that??) It has an IP53 rating for water and dust resistance and 10-zone adjustable RGB lighting. The rotary dial serves as both a volume control (push to mute) and a media control (hold FN and rotate knob) tor FFWD/REW, and Pause/Play. There are six "G" keys on the Skiff 10 Plus (not available on the Skiff 100) located on the left side of the keyboard which allow you to customize macros, shortcuts, or whatever hot key settings you prefer. You can adjust the RGB lighting directly in your browser with the Corsair web hub and soon (September) with the Corsair ICue app/program. I'm using this with a Windows-based machine via the USBc cord, but it's also compatible with Apple/MAC, Microsoft Xbox, Play Station, and it's ready to go straight out of the box. This is a fantastic keyboard with so many features, at an affordable price!

For my gaming and standard computer work, I’ve been using the Corsair SKIFF 100 PLUS and have nothing but good things to say about it. The membrane keys are sensitive while dampening the sound, so the keyboard is easy to use when there are people around. It also has a full-size design that provides room for everyday typing while keeping gaming functions at hand. The six programmable G-keys have become very useful features in the PLUS model. They allow me to use macros and other shortcuts. I can imagine that they may come in handy in games where I have to repeat actions multiple times. I also often make use of the volume dial. To have a control for the speaker volume and media functions is certainly much better than using multiple software controls. Finally, there is the RGB lighting with 10 zones, which is a good thing in that it allows customization without making the keyboard look too gaudy. The other feature I appreciate is that the wrist rest is removable, which allows me to have a cleaner look. I consider IP53 rating to be satisfactory. However, it is worth noting that this rating means that the keyboard is protected from spills and dust, but it is still not waterproof. As for the keyboard connection, it is wired and very straightforward. In summary, the SKIFF 100 PLUS keyboard provides an excellent combination of silent keys and various useful functions. It is a great solution for someone who needs a gaming and regular keyboard at the same time.

The Corsair Skiff 100 Plus Gaming Keyboard is a beauty! I just unboxed it then plugged with it's USB-A attached cord and it lit right up in bright glorious RGB colors. The keyboard features adjustable feet, a wrist rest and comes with a unique rotary dial - more on that later. Features include: 6 Programmable G-Keys, 10-zone RGB lighting, iP53 rated spill resistance, very quiet and responsive keys, dynamic effects customizable to your own style via Corsair Hub and iCUE (software coming in late September 2026), intuitive media controls that skip the menus and adjust the volume, change tracks and more without interrupting your gaming play using the Rotary Dial and Media Keys. The keyboard contains 104 keys (including a number keypad), rubber dome key switches, North American keyboard layout compatible with Windows or Mac, 1000 hz response rate, on board memory, and USB 2.0 type A wired connectivity, tangle free rubber cable material. This keyboard is dynamic, dazzling and durable. It weighs .715kg (1.58 pounds). The upcoming iCUE software will enable you to customize the keyboard to create macros and single key shortcuts for game actions, launching applications, and more. It will also enable customization of each key's RGB, program mesmerizing lighting effects, and reprogram the Rotary Dial to control scrolling, zoom and more. There is also a quite handy print screen key that allows still and video screen shots. The keyboard is much quieter to type on than mechanical and magnetic keyboards and also somewhat lighter weight wise. All in all a very nice gaming keyboard and at a very attractive price point. I highly recommend this keyboard to you.

The Corsair Skiff checks all the boxes I need for the family computer desk. I wanted something from a brand I trust, that offered a good typing feel while being a membrane keyboard to keep it resistant to the inevitable spills and the kids wanted 'rainbow lights' lol. My experience with Corsair products over the last 30 years has always been good. Even the few times I've need product support, they were easy to deal with. So that's one box checked. The typing feel is decently clicky but not on the level of a mechanical keyboard. This is a good compromise area for me since I know there are certainly spills in this keyboards future given age range of the household. The keys have a pretty deep dish to them helping force good finger alignment adding the positive 'click'. Typing is more than pleasurable enough for me to use from time to time. I also appreciate the inclusion of a keypad and volume knob with positive tactile feedback. As for the kids request, the RGB lighting is actually pretty pleasant with a soft evenly diffused look that is easily adjusted for brightness or turned off completely with a hardware button above the keypad. So with all requirements met the Corsair Skiff is a go for me. I also really like the included wrist rest, it's deeper than others I've used and it nicely coated in a soft touch rubber but is not a massive finger print magnet.

While I usually opt for a mid to higher end gaming keyboard and have even started dabbling into custom assembling the components I still appreciate the need for something simpler. The Skiff is perfect for a quiet office environment if you need something a bit more robust than the e-waste keyboards that usually come with workstations. It's also great for a youngster's gaming setup since they are more resistant to abuse since it has membrane switches making it spill resistant which would also be a good thing to have at the office for those clumsy coffee drinkers. It is a wired unit so you don't have to worry about running out of juice while playing, or working for that matter. The cord is plenty long to reach my lap if I need to make a quick swivel. I appreciate the full size keyboard especially since the trend has been smaller footprint and less keys for gaming only. For work I must have a numpad since I do a lot of CADD work. I also appreciate the six programmable G keys along the left side. Great for creating macros of repetitious commands, especially my Autocad lock toggles. For gaming the membrane switches are responsive enough for casual game play. While I prefer a clicky switch, the quiet membrane switches are great for a late night round of Minecraft without alerting the house that you are doing more than your homework. Plenty of RGB effects is that's your style. I must have backlighting but fancy RGB lights aren't necessary for myself but you can set up any way you like since the lights are controllable. A rotary media dial is a must for me. Mute, volume up and down are the basics with the wheel and the Fn key plus knob turn or press for pause/play and previous/next while listening to music, TikToks or Youtubes. I don't like having to do finger gymnastics to Fn key and whatever the alternative keystrokes are so the knob is a bonus. I do like the removable wrist pad as a lot of the mid to higher level keyboards are shipping without adding to the overall cost if you have to go out and buy your own. The plastic chassis is lightweight and flex is minimal so unless you are heavy handed you won't notice it much. At under $70 you could do a lot worse and mine is at the office now since I love the programmable G keys.

The Corsair Skiff 100 Plus keyboard is a nice compromise keyboard for anyone wanting a single keyboard for both gaming and everyday use. Construction is solid, with one of the nicest detachable wristrests I've ever used included. Although it is a membrane keyboard, it avoids the mushy feel of membrane keyboards through some design magic. Typing is fast and quiet. The keys are short throw, with excellent tactile feedback and a very soft click, making it ideal for office use. There is enough speed in the key response to make it usable in games as well. Lighting effects are cool and selectable, you can turn them off, set a fixed backlight level, or go full on spectrum to your taste. Brightness level can also be set by a dedicated button. It does switch to a playstation or mac (untested) and avoids the now ubiquitous and useless CoPilot key. Media control is thankfully through a knob rather than function keys. There is a "Windows Lockout" key that disables the Window key and prevents accidental popups during games. Although the keyboard is full size, there is no wasted space between keys and there are a half dozen macro keys on the edge of the keyboard. The macro keys are programmed through a future iCUE app version or the Corsair Web-App, along with different keyboard profiles. This is where Corsair falls down a bit. The keyboard was released ahead of an iCUE version (I use a Corsair mouse as well) that could recognize the keyboard. iCUE is the Corsair configuration utility. The Web-App feels like a workaround release. The current version flags a firmware upgrade to the keyboard, but fails to complete it (two separate systems and Windows safe mode tests). It does allow the six macro keys to be programmed and the keyboard lighting to be modified. It's too bad that Corsair couldn't include the Skiff 100 Plus along with an updated iCUE utility, the keyboard itself is very nice. It's also too bad that the they didn't provide a way to program the macro keys from the keyboard itself. All-in-all, the Corsair Skiff 100 Plus is a good, solid replacement keyboard with excellent touch, feedback and typing speed. It's at home in either office or gaming setting. Check it out!

Not often do I get "excited" about a keyboard but I have to say the Corsair SKIFF 100 Plus keyboard is a pretty nice addition not just for gamers but for everyday use as well. Let's start with the general functions that are easily at hand. Volume/mute on a dial makes it easy to adjust on the fly with the added option of using it in combination with the function key to advance to the next track or back up. Another nice feature are the six programmable keys on the side of the keyboard. Lets not forget about the ability to customize the colors of the keyboard and even do special effects with the colors including automatically changing colors and random patterns. The Corsair Web Hub software makes it easy to customize the functions of the keyboard. Overall though, one of the features I really appreciate are the quiet keys! You can type in almost complete silence so for those who are on conference calls you could still type and not interfere with the conversation. The wrist pad is also comfortable and you have the option of propping the back of the keyboard with the popup legs. And at a very reasonable price point I can see this being added to more than just a gamers PC.

GOOD - Very sturdy construction - Customizable lighting - On-board memory to store lighting and key customization - Includes wrist rest - Can use both desktop and web-based programming software BAD - Keys feels squishy, even for a membrane switch - More expensive than other gaming membrane boards - Desktop customization software not supported at launch TLDR The Skiff 100 is trying to be an affordable "premium membrane" keyboard, but it doesn't really succeed at either. It features solid construction and some nice features ( like on-board profile memory and web-based programming so you don't need a desktop application installed ). But the keystroke is squishy, even for a membrane switch, and the price is higher than competing gaming membrane keyboards. The keyboard also doesn't work with Corsair's desktop iCUE software as of now ( Corsair says it will be added within eight weeks ). It's not a horrible keyboard, but it's just too expensive for what you get. DETAILS Not everyone can afford to drop $150+ on a nice mechanical gaming keyboard. But if you're not a switch snob, a good membrane or hybrid keyboard can serve well and can be had for $50 or less. And that's the first misstep Corsair makes with the Skiff 100 Plus. As of now, it retails for $70 ( the regular Skiff 100 without the six programmable keys is $60 ). That makes it more expensive than similar offerings from Razer, SteelSeries, and others. While you do get a few extra features for that $20, there are also some significant downsides. First the good. The keyboard is well made. The frame has very little flex and will probably lat longer than the key switches. The included wrist rest is just coated plastic, no actual cushioning, but it does okay. The RGB lighting serves well for backlighting the keys. The "killer feature" with the plus is the six programmable keys along the left edge. I say killer feature because most other membrane gaming keyboards don't have any custom keys. Whether that's worth the extra cost of the keyboard depends on the end-user. The keyboard has on-board memory to store custom profiles, including lighting, which is nice for people who want to use the keyboard on a device without iCUE ( such as a different computer, Chromebook, or a gaming console ). However, as of now, customizing the keyboard is very limited because Corsair's iCUE software doesn't support the Skiff. Corsair says this will be done by the end of September 2026. Until then, you can only use their Web Hub page, which has drastically limited functions compared to the desktop iCUE application. Corsair says the Skiff has ten different RGB zones instead of per-key RGB. However, I can't tell exactly what those ten zones are since Web Hub doesn't allow zone specific lighting. Presumably the zones would be the F-keys, number row, number pad, main letters, etc. But Web Hub can only apply lighting to the whole keyboard, and only using one of six preset modes. It also can't create different key profiles or assign any different function to any key, except create macros for the six special keys. Why Corsair released the keyboard before any software is available for it is a big mistake. From a physical aspect, they keys themselves are disappointing. The membrane switches are mushy, even for a membrane switch. The keycaps are all the same length and profile with no ergonomic curve sweeping top to bottom. And despite Corsair putting a context Fn key on the keyboard, none of the F-keys have shortcuts. Instead, the volume knob will act as media control for play/pause and changing tracks if you hold down the Fn key. But since this is no more handy than holding Fn + another key, I'm not sure why this is supposed to be an improvement. In time, the Skiff might become a more sensible buy ( when the desktop software is added and the price comes down at least $10 ). But it still won't feel like a premium keyboard, which is a big problem with so much competition.
