Brilliant opto-mechanical switches, Packed with features, Sturdy design and great RGB LED lighting,
Expensive, Some flimsy buttons, No USB 3.0,
The Corsair K100 gaming keyboard is tremendously designed and packed with features, with laser-powered switches delivering incredible speed and quality. But it's expensive and overkill for all but the most demanding of gamers.ProsBrilliant opto-mechanical...

Expensive, First review unit had build quality issues, Some features feel gimmicky
Corsair's K100 RGB shifts to optical-mechanical switches, ups the polling rate to 4,000 Hz, (thanks to a multi-threaded SoC), and adds a customizable iCue control wheel. It's a comfy, attractive, versatile tool on and off the virtual battlefield. But the...

High price point, but this is Corsair's flagship keyboard
Abstract: If anyone ever invents a time machine, it would be fun to take an RGB keyboard from the late 2010s back to the year 1977 just to show the stunned onlookers what the human race has accomplished. No, we didn't get personal jetpacks, and a keyboard isn't qui...
Abstract: Maybe your trusty old keyboard has typed its last letter or trapped its last bagel crumb. Perhaps your gaming ambitions have outstripped the mushy, mediocre typer that came with your PC. Or maybe your hands are simply shouting: Hey, cut me some slack here...
Abstract: If you're a gamer, you probably take your choice of gaming keyboard very seriously. And you should. When your keyboard doubles as your game controller, it's more than just a tool for typing. It is to you what the katana is to a samurai (or to a cyborg nin...
