The cushioned wrist rest is something I never knew I needed, but it's fantastic. I haven't really messed with the jog wheel yet but I do plan to eventually.

Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Cons mentioned:NoiseThis keyboard is the greatest keyboard I've ever owned. I'm fairly new to PC gaming and I wanted what I thought would be one of the best and I'm not disappointed with this product at all. With the ICue software it is extremely easy to jump right in with the customization of this keyboard. Every key click is extremely responsive. You will not be disappointed. High price point, but for me it's worth it.

Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Cons mentioned:SoftwareAs someone that uses the keyboard 10 hours a day for work, it's been great. I am typically a blue switch user and wanted something that was a little softer for the workplace that had macros. The iCUE software is complex but offers the user pretty much unlimited options and the ability to save a profile directly to the board itself and not need the software install to make use of the macros/rgb is such a godsend for a sysadmin who plugs into a lot of systems.

Great Keyboard, Even for a Casual Gamer.
|Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5After a key broke on one of my two K95 Platinum keyboards, I decided to replace it. My choices were the K95 Platinum XT and the newer K100. Both seem to be excellent keyboards and I was a bit concerned about going from the Cherry Brown mechanical keys (on my Platinum) to the Optical keys on the K100. My fear was that they would be too sensitive, especially where about 70% of my PC activity is for office work, as opposed to gaming. Regardless, I chose the K100 and so far, I'm very pleased with my choice. The keyboard is solidly built and although the optical keys *do* require a much lighter touch than the Cherry Browns, after a few days of use, I found that I had adapted perfectly to the K100's sensitivity. (Although, I can see how some may still prefer the mechanical keys.) As for the optional 4K polling rate, I'm a casual gamer and so I can't really tell the difference between that setting and the 1K, but I'm sure hard-core gamers could tell the difference. No matter, I'm very happy with this keyboard and if my other K95 Platinum should ever break, I would easily choose the K100 as its replacement.

Q: QuestionI have a cat that likes getting on my desk. My Logitech G910 got fried recently when she knocked my drink onto it. So is the K100 spill proof or is it sealed good enough where liquids will not go into the circuit board and fry it?
Asked by RaTT.
- A:Answer Hi, I'm afraid none of our products would be guaranteed to withstand a direct spill, we do have some products with spill resistance but even then that doesn't guarantee the product will survive, unfortunately.
