Review on Corsair K100 Optical Mechanical Gaming Keyboard by Jenn Simmons

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great upgrade for my Logitech G910

So far I like this keyboard. I've been a loyal Logitech fan for over two decades now, and I have to say it wasn't easy switching brands after so many years. I bought this to replace my G910 which had broken keycaps and a few keys started to work incorrectly. a lot of W when typing, guess by pressing WASD in games. Pros: These buttons are amazing. I have the MX Speed version and the Roamer G keys, they feel much more responsive and I feel like I can press them faster, they also feel firmer but that's about all I like about the keyboard even in general can say. This aluminum body makes it durable. The wrist is super comfortable, I didn't know it was memory foam until I got it, you know, it's one of those things I didn't really bother to read about during my research. The texture on the keycaps is also a nice touch. The volume wheel also feels very solid, as does the new steering wheel. Cons: I'm not a big fan of their iCUE software. I was trying to set up some macros like I had on my G910 and spent about 5 minutes trying to figure out how to set a name for one of the actions I just created. And then 10 more tried to figure out how to assign an action to one of the G-keys. They had to watch a video on their website to find out that you have to press "action" and then "button". I guess I'm used to the way it's done in the Logitech Gaming Software, where you either right-click a button and get a context menu, or drag an existing command onto the button. a little more intuitive and user-friendly. The software itself seems a little sluggish, but I won't spend many hours on it once I've set up my macros and profiles. I love that I have almost as many key bindings as profiles I create (haven't yet), but it looks like you can remap each key, which you can't do with Logitech.
