Corsair K100 Optical Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Review

I switched from a keyboard with short keys, which made it difficult to get used to the keys on this board. As for RGB, the keyboard doesn't light up at all until you log in. So if you're in a dark room, you won't see the keys when you type your Windows password, which is a drag until your fingers remember the new board. The keys are also pressure sensitive, so you can drift in games if your finger rests on the key.

My first impression is that this thing is just great when everything is connected to the network. The aluminum construction, lightning-fast keycaps, and adjustable cue wheel make this thing an amazing keyboard. I've never used the "short" MX Cherry switches and they're quieter than the "fast" ones than the MX Brown, but I have to admit that after some practice I like them better than the brown ones. . The short action requires very little effort to actuate and eventually changes the typing…

Gamers buy this keyboard, what do gamers hate? Reflections because they are very distracting. Because of this, gaming monitors no longer have reflective bezels, so it's very frustrating and confusing that Corsair, which claims to be a premium gaming peripherals maker, put a mirrored reflective strip on the keyboard that reflects everything. from the monitor to this tape. It just defies logic as to why he's there. Very surprised that this lesson at Corsair seems amateurish, at least when it…

Overall I like the look, feel and speed of the keyboard. I disagree with a few things that you should keep in mind. 1) Cherry MX Silver switches are significantly more sensitive than I expected. My fingers keep getting fat while typing. Sometimes I'll start twisting to the left only to find that it's just my ring finger's weight on "a" activating it when I don't even feel like I'm pressing a key. 2) The leftmost "G#" keys messed up my muscle memory. I keep pressing "G1" when I want to press…

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…

I came with the K70 LUX and at first I had my doubts about this keyboard. However, it was on sale briefly during Prime Day, so I relented and grabbed one. My old board was Cherry MX Reds and this time I went with Corsair OPX Optical Switches. First impression: The keys have a different texture/finish than the K70 keys, they look a bit rougher, like a slightly grainy varnish. It's not uncomfortable and actually keeps your hands from slipping off the keys like they do on the K70. The wrist strap…

This is a Corsair K100 typing test. It is very different from the K95 Platinum. I don't know if I like it more or less than the previous version. I think it sounds a bit weird, but not that bad. The optical switches are insanely fast. I don't think there is much of a difference between polling at 1000Hz and polling at 4000Hz. I'd like to think I can see the difference between typing and playing, but I really can't. I don't seem to have too much trouble finding keys without looking at the…
