Corsair's THINNEST keyboard yet - Corsair K100 Air

Hello, I would like to buy a mechanical keyboard. I game about 7 hours a day, but I've already had carpal tunnel surgery. Which is gentler on the hands and wrists? Normal or low profile?

How is this a K100? No multifunction wheel, no macro keys, no included wrist rest, and no LEDs around the trim of the keyboard. This is a K70 at best. Any one recommending this rip-off deserves to lose their credibility.

basically an evolved K70 Rapidfire MK.2

i love his round head

it s so fucking expensive

£279 for it is a scam

Far less mushy than the Logitech G915 (mine feels stiff like the iPad keyboard, but better), but to be fair, I’ve had the G915 for like 3 years (so it has a few.. hundred thousand metaphorical miles on it) and I got this in really recently (within the week).. I also got a steep discount so that may color my opinion somewhat.

I’m still very partial to my other keyboard with the Glazzew (boba) switches I respringed, but the board I have those in is very not portable.

Im one of the strange people who likes chicklet membrane keyboards

Why so thin? 50h? Pass

I have this and I love it, the B key broke and I'm returning it tomorrow. It did everything I asked for, it was a Full Keyboard, Lights up, Ultra Slim, and it was Mechanical. It went above and beyond when it could store Macros (for when I went mining in Minecraft), switch between setups using the doggle on my main one and Bluetooth on my subsidiaries and the customization was insane. It will be missed

P.S. I'm typing this with my old keyboard lol
P.S.S Dang that's crazy, using my keyboard and saying how my keyboard is going to the graveyard, good thing its not sentient because man, this would be an awful way to go

Definitely want this but I just brought a glove80. I hope I made a good choice. I’m nervous. But this has always been my dream keyboard

Corsair's just build the same as tkl and take my money.

Amazing, I own this keyboard as well as the KiiBoom Phantom 81 and they're both perfect for my setup, They also have the best looking RGB in my opinion. Highly recommend them.

For 250, yeah right lol.

TKL or go home nabs.

Does anyone know how clicky this is? I use a Logitech 915TKL, it clicks, but not from the switch, just the nature of typing. Switch click drives me nuts.

Is there tkl version of this?

why

TKL when

Nothing like reviews that include phrases like "It's probably... like a..." yeppers, great stories to tell here lately @LTT

This keyboard is a non-starter for me simply because they printed the shifted/unshifted characters backwards. All keyboards that do this suck for productivity users.

ICUE is the worst program today. Absolutely terrible. I have it on two corsair case systems and one will not see my corsair RAM and the other will not see my commander pro xt. So how is it good exactly? Even opened a support ticket and they said to make sure the RAM is seated correctly...on a running system with the RAM lit. Yeah, they are useless.

That thing wouldn't survive 5min with me

really copied the logitech g815/g915

if they make this in a 75% or TKL i might buy it

this would be fine if it was 65%. but full size? I don't see the point of an ultra-thin keyboard and also been full size.

SO PUNCHABLE.

Man, I really just wish these major retailers would start considering making 96% - 98% compact boards to satisfy their full-size users, save themselves a little bit of money with the decreased size, and also save their consumers some space on their desks. Making some of these new flagship boards like the compact Leopolds you can find on the internet will probably save everyone some money in the end.

Just need to make it in blues and preferably a mac layout option and sold.

With that dongle, can you connect other items to it too? Like if I have a steelseries mouse, can i connect both items to the one dongle

Only shame is I can't find one with a slovak layout

I learned typing on a laptop and I am very slow on my mechanical keyboard. Seriously considering this

"Does Bluetooth work? I don't know!"
"I don't know what the shield means"

Top notch tech journalism there.

I really like mine. After using this my Keychron with brown switches feels like mush.

Signal RGB works well but you have to pay a subscription to monitor temps n stuff.. iCue its already built in but RGB control is not as good.

i really want to see a review of the AKKO 3068b plus black cyan with the AKKO jelly pick switches

280 usd... imma stick to my supermarket 15 euros full rgb wired keyboards

I miss my Logitech K350 Wave. I loved the app switcher rocker in Vista and th3 amount if dedicated media buttons

Corsair: Nice we made an Apple keyboard out of plastic 🎉

It could be that thin, no BS and cost a third of the price. It would be a total HIT!

"I like iCUE. Because I never use it" LOL

The LABs needs to test longevity or at least have a longevity score with included durability, reparability, replacement parts available, customization options etc. Or something like that. I can't imagine this keyboard lasting more than 2-3 years before needing to be replaced because of broken keys and no parts available to repair it. Specially not easily because the switches are not hot swappable.

seems like an overall fine keyboard but that price is absolutely ridiculous. $280!?!?

if you want to go chicklet get a $30-50 Bluetooth keyboard or a $100 logitech mx keys. even better, get a keychron k2 for like $60

Always enjoyed chiclet membrane keyboards over mechanical, and always liked laptop keyboards over full size desktop ones. Spent a decent amount of time years ago acquiring every odd mechanical switch I can get my hands on until eventually coming to terms with myself and getting a slim Lenovo Thinkpad keyboard for my desktop. Aside from the non-standard Ctrl-Fn key layout, it's my favourite keyboard in terms of feel.

I hate all the software you have to install. I love the DUCKY because there I can configure the RGB with macro keys very easily! No Software needed.

the redragon horus is a much cheaper keyboard that's very similar ( around $50)

I have a Strafe Mk 2 and LOVE it. First keyboard I've really loved since the old AT connecting 486 era PC...
