CORSAIR - K100 RGB Full-size Wired Mechanical OPX Linear Switch Gaming Keyboard with Elgato Stream Deck Software Integration - Black

I've been using mechanical keyboards for a very long time, mainly for gaming. The OPX system is a love or hate for some people but for me, I transitioned from another Corsair product with Cherry Reds and the transition was weird at first but now I cannot live without it. The response time is amazing and with the ridiculous polling rate of the keyboard, don't blame the lag, blame the fat finger. RGB integration works great with other corsair products. Macro controls are a bit awkward at times, and you may press the G1 key instead of ESC for a bit until you get used to it. The wrist rest included with the product is fantastic, easily detachable and solved an issue I had with the K70 plastic wrist rest. It does get a bit dirty because of the material but it is very easy to clean. Not sure about the programable wheel, as I don't really use it for much but it is something you can mess around with for certain things. The audio wheel has a textured feel that I really like, and the media buttons has a good feel to them. Out of the box I liked the keys, but I opted to customize it with pudding caps that really brought out the RGB lighting for the keyboard. As a flagship high end product by Corsair, it has amazing handiwork, and it is sturdy as it comes, it is a solid piece of hardware. (Excuse me for the dust on the picture)

Really nice keyboard - undeniably the best keyboard I personally have ever used, aesthetically and functionally. I work on my computer all day and when I am not working I enjoy gaming and trading, so my hardware is under consistent daily use. That being said this keyboard feels extremely solid and well built. The wrist guard feels good, the keys feel good and overall the quality level is really high. The well thought out look and feel would be immediately noticed by anybody. In terms of work, it handles and feels great and I appreciate that it seems be to be quieter than other mechanical keyboards I have owned. As far as gaming, it feels good and has a fantastic response, I also enjoy the included textured keys for "WASD". I have been building my own PC's for years and this current build has many Corsair parts (RAM, Cooler, Case, Mouse) so I appreciate that all of various features and lighting effects can be managed under one software, being iCue, which makes for easy use and adjustment of the multiple features. So far in my experience there are no downsides to this keyboard with exception to the price. For a brand new build, $200 to allocate to the keyboard does not make much sense when I would think someone would prioritize funds towards CPU, MOBO, GPU, SSD or RAM - So overall, this is phenomenal keyboard and I am satisfied with what I paid with respect to its value and performance and also compared to what I know is available for under $100- I also believe it is for the customer looking for high end accessories to compliment an already complete high end build.

I got this keyboard after friends suggested it and even donated money so I could afford it. It is so, so nice! The keys are super responsive, and since I have rheumatoid arthritis, the less effort to push the keys is amazing. I had enjoyed my previous low profile keyboard by Corsair, and while I still very much miss it (poor thing got its keys stuck in the middle), I am happy to have this keyboard. The new buttons - media dial + Steam Deck macro buttons - are going to take some getting used to, but I'm excited to learn and explore all the features. It's also super lightweight and super nice quality wise. It's also has the first Corsair wrist rest I've actually enjoyed, as this one is cushioned and soft. My only complaint is it is very long/large, but I expected that and made some space on my desk. All in all, it's super nice. I'm so happy friends helped me get it. I've put some stickers on it as my seal of approval! :)

The Double PBT keys feel solid and responsive without the noise you'd expect from a very clacky key switch. The OPX switches feel amazing. The iCue software makes configuring the exact color scheme you're looking for easy and intuitive. If you're a streamer, the G keys on the left can actuate scene switches and various functions using the Elgato software. The wrist rest is magnetic and squishy and keep your wirst comfortable and non-sweaty. The Keyboard allows up to an 8000 polling rate if you really need that lightning fast response rate while you're gaming. The RBG is beautiful. Photos really don't do it justice. I highly recommend installing the slanted additional keys it comes with for your WASD keys as it gives your hand and brain a little extra tactile knowledge of the keys your fingers are resting on.

This keyboard screams quality with the all aluminum build and leatherette wrist rest. The G-Keys on the left work with Stream Deck app and allows you to add functionality to those keys, the wheel isn’t something I use so I can’t really say what it’s used for but it does have the ability to be assigned in the iCUE app as you please. If your suffer from small desk space or are just a minimalist this keyboard may be too much for you but for the enthusiasts who what’s the most, this is the keyboard for you.
