Pattern: CHERRY MX Ultra Low Profile Switches
TL;DR - 10/10. Premium price, but premium quality in return. I will admit that I was a little hesitant about getting a wireless keyboard, mostly because of battery life and dropped connections. My job sometimes requires me to act quickly to fix an issue, and I was worried about the connection suddenly dropping when I was racing against the clock. I had a Corsair K70 and loved it, but it was getting old and had started acting up on me so I thought I would take a shot on this one. Oh boy, am I impressed. The keys feel incredible, the battery life is fantastic, and the connection is solid with no noticeable input delay. The "Slipstream" wireless receiver can pair multiple Corsair products as well, so you don't need to take up multiple ports if you like their product line. Pros: - Battery lasts me several days, working 8 hours a day and typically gaming or browsing for a few hours on top of that. I usually leave the RGB lighting on the highest brightness, so you could get even more life out of a single charge if you turn it down/off. I haven't checked charge time from 0-100%, but it charges fast enough that it doesn't matter to me personally. - The connection is solid. I'm about 10 feet from the dongle with my body, desk, and other equipment in between and have no noticeable input delay or dropped inputs. - The feel of the keys is amazing. I know this is more of a subjective matter, but I think they have just the right amount of "click" and feedback. They're a little less "clicky" than the Cherry MX Red switches that were in my K70, but still tactile enough to feel just right. - If you're also using a Corsair wireless mouse or headset, they can all pair with a single "Slipsteam" dongle so you're not taking up multiple USB ports with different receivers. I imagine this also cuts down on the interference that would be caused my having multiple wireless receivers next to each other? - Multiple connection modes - wireless, wired (while charging), and bluetooth with up to 3 pairings. Switching between connection modes is as easy as pressing FN+[corrosponding key]. - Premium quality in every category that I can think of. Cons: - If you don't already have/use it, you'll need the Corsair iCue software to control many functions of the keyboard. I don't like having so many different pieces of software to control my system, but it's practically unavoidable. Luckily, iCue isn't one of those "in your face" pieces of software. It runs at startup without any popup or loading screen, and simply sits in your system tray until you need it. - Expensive, but you honestly get what you pay for. - That's it. I have no actual complaints, I love this thing.

For the price this is utterly terrible. Pros: - Good luck finding any, I'd consider it's slimness a pro but the second you type on it you don't even care about how slim it is. - Connectivity is fine at the very least so there's that. Cons: - Terrible feeling in the hands, before you even type on it you get turned off from it due to its scratchy plastic and little to no heft or weight on it. It feels like a toy. - The keys are terrible, they are sharp on the edges which is such an atrocious design decision and are also massively sized?? - Pressing down on the keys feel like I am having to punch plastic just so it listens to me. My fingers would get fatigued after a hour of use, especially my pinkies. I'm not one to get tired out by keyboards, I've used very heavy switches in the past without issues. - The sound is TERRIBLE. It genuinely sounds like I am beating on the keyboard despite trying my hardest to be as light and efficient with it. - The price. The price is the biggest insult here. I guarantee this keyboard cost Corsair no more than $10 to MAYBE $20 in total to make and asking the price that they are for this atrocious monstrosity just because it has "Sub-1ms Slipstream" technology is insulting. I am insulted, you should be insulted, Corsair should be EMBARRASED. Get anything else. ANYTHING. Get this instead: - Despite Logitech's G915 wobbly keycaps and not as good battery life(which is fair seeing as the keyboard came out in 2019 and 2020), the build quality is wonderful, you get multimedia keys, G/Macro keys, and significantly more enjoyable experience - And while not exactly what I was looking for due to its lack of G/Macro Keys, if you are looking for a more traditional full-sized layout that is still low-profile and slim, the Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro Wireless is your go to keyboard in this case, please trust me on this. The design feel nicer, the typing is nicer, and overall feel is significantly nicer and more high quality. - If you're wanting something with butterfly switches, get something like the Logitech MX Keys or literally ANY OTHER KEYBOARD BESIDES THIS ONE, AVOID THIS ONE AT ALL COSTS, ITS TERRIBLE.

Pattern: CHERRY MX Ultra Low Profile Switches
I've spent the past two years trying to find a keyboard that has a similar feel to the K800, which was discontinued without a clear physically equivalent product. Something low profile, with similar tactile feedback, and backlit. I don't consider myself a keyboard enthusiast, but I know what typing on one single keyboard SKU for 15 years feels like and how ineffective it feels on other keyboards. After trying and failing for a while testing sub-$100 keyboards, I took a chance on the K100 Air, and fortunately it's not just an alternative, but an upgrade in most ways. It's low latency and feels faster to type on. The iCue software is actually well thought out and despite a few weird bugs that can occur when switching between wired, radio, and bluetooth modes, it all generally works as expected with plentiful options. Both lighting and key reassignment functionality (though with some limitations) can be saved to the onboard memory without having to run keep iCue running. The only things I can say the K800 still does better are minor things - such as the caps lock key indicator being on the caps lock key itself - this is something I would have hoped dedicated RGB software could have an option for, but it doesn't seem possible. The key depression itself "feels" faster but mushier on the K800, though the K100 Air registers presses seemingly more instantly (from my unscientific, human eye's perspective). None of these issues are a concern though, as this keyboard has a very nice feeling build quality, and I seem to have went through more K800's than I would care to admit. A lot of reviews judge this product from a mechanical gaming keyboard perspective, but for general productivity, it seems powerful. It's a good keyboard, and a good example of getting what you pay for.

Do you like building your own keyboards and living out your dream of typing on a peripheral that simulates the experience folks had in the 1950’s corporate secretarial world? Well then get outta here this review and this keyboard are not for you. I don’t know about you, but ever since 2003 I’ve been typing on a laptop and conforming my neural pathways to be more efficient on low-profile, chiclet/laptop/laptop-esque keyboards. Apple keyboards for their iMacs/Mac Mini’s/Studio’s/Pro’s are thin and utilize a chiclet format. Aside from the Logitech MX series, the majority of options for PC keyboard are still using the giant key caps your great grandmother typed on. Well hallelujah, not anymore. Thank you Corsair. On a serious note though, Corsair knocked it outta the park with this one, in my opinion. And that’s just all this is - my opinion. I realize keyboard affinity is purely a personal choice and I have to say this board checks every box for me. The low-pro Cherry MX tactiles feel fantastic and are dream to type on. The key travel is something like 1mm and that tactile bump is super snappy. The build quality and lines of this board are gorgeous. The brushed aluminum and just overall quality of this board feels incredibly premium - it feels like a keyboard Marty brought back in the DMC. This thing can poll at 8000hz! What? The RGB is just as fantastic as all of Corsair’s line, and iCue just plain works. I really can’t say enough about this board and I absolutely love it. I have absolutely no gripes about it at all. Sometimes I hear it from the other room calling out “Come type on me… you’re gonna love it… c’mon man ya know you want to…” and then I have to go do a quick online typing speed test just to scratch the itch. Gaming? Oh yes it’s fantastic. MW2 & Diablo 4 both feel amazing under finger. Seriously don’t worry. This board will definitely satisfy you. Make the “switch” to low pro. You won’t be disappointed. Oh also, no, the key caps are not replaceable as of yet but who has time for all that? Not us future folk.

I splurged on this keyboard for a few reasons. I liked the ability to change the color of individual keys, I liked the idea of low profile keys by still somewhat mechanical tactile feel and it was still wireless. My problem overall is the price. This is a $100 keyboard. I feel like at $250 the keyboard should be aluminum and perhaps anodized for added durability. As it is the paint/coating is already wearing off in a couple of small areas which is a major disappointment. This keyboard never moves and I'm OCD about my desk area staying clean, so not sure what that is about. Also, just recently, while I was cleaning, the "K" popped out and while I was able to get it back on, it only retains about 25% function and the "click" is gone. My last gripe is that this keyboard stays charged for 3 days max. I read reviews that mentioned this and still bought it, but I really feel like the battery power should sustain it for more than 3 days. This, in turn, in my opinion, is not a wireless keyboard. I'm overall happy with it, but I wouldn't buy it again.

I have owned and used this keyboard for almost 2 years. I use it all day for my full-time job plus home office stuff and a little gaming, so I have > 4000 hours of use on it. I've made it work for so long because it was very expensive, I love some of the features, and I wasn't quite sure the problems I was having were the keyboard itself or the wireless dongle + my KVM switch. I've replaced the KVM switch once, tried the dongle in all available USB ports on both my work and personal computer, and tried connecting via BlueTooth and wired connection, without improvement. After coming back and reading a lot of reviews that were written after I purchased it, I'm comfortable saying this keyboard is at fault. The two main issues that led to a 2-star review: 1. Overly sensitive keys. Pressing a key once often types 2-3 letters (ex. a = "aaa"). Pressing one key too hard triggers adjacent keys (ex. a = "aws"). This is not just a matter of retraining myself how to type; I've been trying to type more carefully for > 4000 hours and it still happens. I'm perfectly willing to admit I'm a clumsy typer; I tap hard, I rest fingers on keys, I type too fast and get keys out of order, but this is the first keyboard where any of that has caused constant typing errors. 2. Keys get stuck and will continue pressing long after I let off the key (ex. a = "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"). This happens anywhere from once or twice a week to several times per day. In some cases, it doesn't stop, and I have to toggle the power switch on and off, then go back and delete hundreds of characters. I could overlook these issues if I were only using it casually, but I my work requires fast, accurate bursts of typing for 40 hours per week. I've had to apologize for miscommunication countless times because of this keyboard. That being said, I'm still using it after almost 2 years, so I don't feel like 1 star is justified. I can live with it; I just hate it, and it's only a matter of time before I have an excuse to replace it. Some other minor complaints: 3. The battery only lasts a few days the way I used it (8-10 hrs per day of moderate use) and takes a while to charge. At that rate, it may as well not be wireless. I keep the backlighting on because my workstation is sometimes in low light and I need to be able to see the keys intermittently to type well. If I have to plug it in more than once per week, the extra hassle of plugging, unplugging and monitoring the battery is worse than any inconvenience of a permanent cord. This is probably not unique to this keyboard, but I expected a more expensive product would have a decent batttery (see? there, it did it again!). 4. I had mixed success with the customizing software and haven't played with it since I first got it. I was hoping to turn some multi-key combos into a single key, but it didn't work. A possible explanation is that the program I wanted to customize keys for is on my work computer, so I couldn't install the keyboard software on it, but if that's the case, it's a little disappointing that changes aren't permanently saved somewhere inside the keyboard itself. 5. When working in my personal desktop's BIOS, the computer doesn't always recognize the keyboard. Sometimes I have to do a force shutdown and start over. This was only a recent, temporary problem while I was installing Linux; now that Linux is working fine, I will probably not have to dig into the BIOS for a long time. To be absolutely clear, this keyboard is plug-and-play with the current edition of Linux Mint Cinnamon; I'm using it in Linux right now. 6. The Enter button on the 10-keypad broke off (not just popped off) after about a year, under normal use (I wasn't trying to pry it off, didn't drop it etc.). It still works when I press the bare switch, and I don't need to press it too often, so it's only a minor inconvenience, but looks ugly. If it weren't for the two main problems, I would probably rate this computer at 4 stars (5 if it were significantly cheaper, then I could ignore the minor problems, too). -It feels sturdy. -It's heavy, so it stays put (I'm a heavy typer and lighter keyboards move a lot). -The feel of the keys is exactly what I was looking for. Very low profile with "clicky" feedback. -Keys are relatively quiet despite the fact that I type hard. -The backlighting helps me see what I'm typing in low light conditions. -I LOVE the volume wheel. I use it way more often than I ever thought I would. I listen to a lot of YouTube while I work, and it makes it easy to manage the big differences in volume that different channels have. When I do replace this keyboard, that is a feature I'm hoping to retain. -The power button is easy to access. Very important given the limited battery life and the stuck key issue. -The cable that came with it is high quality. I use it to charge several other things when I'm not charging my keyboard. -I can now confirm the dongle and cable work fine in a KVM switch (as mentioned previously, I thought this was perhaps the reason for the typing issues I was having). -It's full size. I have big hands and struggle with compact keyboards. -It's thin. I don't like using a wrist pad, so taller keyboards are less ergonomic for me.

UPDATED 2022-11-17: After using the keyboard for a few days, I'd say this is a pretty good keyboard. I do not have any data on battery usage yet. The keyboard lighting effects are very nice and highly customizable. This being said the keyboard has a few areas for improvement: - unlike the other keys, the volume control wheel does not keep the keyboard alive. So if you watch youtube videos for 15 minutes using only the mouse and the volume wheel, at some point the keyboard will go to sleep mode, and the volume wheel will stop working completely (until you press another key to wake up the keyboard). - it does not seem to be possible to assign a key to launch an application (say the Windows calculator) using the "Hardware Key Assignments". This is possible using "Key Assignments" but this won't work if you use an A/B switch and your alternate computer is not running the iCUE software (unlike lighting effects which work in "Hardware lighting" mode). My old Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 could launch the Windows calculator from anywhere. - one major design issue which I initially thought was a bug: if you save your lighting profiles using the iCUE software to the keyboard slots, it works but only as long as your keyboard is connected to the same computer. If you use an A/B switch to toggle to a different computer, the keyboard does not retain its settings on that other computer. This is because the iCUE software is using different profiles if the keyboard is connected wirelessly or with the USB cable, but you cannot copy the wired profiles onto the wireless profiles. You have to recreate them one by one. Not a bug, but a major usability issue especially because the "Lighting library" is also not sharable between the wired profiles and the wireless profiles! - also if you use an A/B switch to toggle between two different computers, there is some lag for the keyboard to switch over (longer than what I had with my previous keyboard). - macro replaying seems to be real time. So if you pause while recording the macro it will also replay the macro at the exact same slow speed. This may be good for games where timing is everything but not so much for software development. This is probably by design but it would be nice if this was configurable. Also, you have to be very careful about macro recording (don't do what I did by mistake to assign a macro to the Windows key, because the Windows lock key is also used to record macros!) - Keys are a little noisy (compared to a keyboard like the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750) - The Shift keys are represented with an arrow pointing up to access characters showing at the bottom of the keys. This is unlike most keyboards and can be confusing. Design blunder? - it is not clear if the on-board battery is replaceable, possibly reducing the keyboard longevity. The keyboard appears to be locked sealed, without any screws. - Keyboard itself is entirely black. Style would greatly benefit to have a little white rim all around, similar to the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750. In a minor note: - Product manual is downloadable via a QR code, but who has a QR code reader on a computer? - iCue software is 1.1GB to download - the predefined quick lighting zones in the iCue software are lacking. You have to create them (e.g, "Function keys", "Numeric keypad", etc...). - it would be nice if the keyboard could switch profile automatically based on the time of the day (i.e. to a different lighting when it is dark at night for instance) Overall it can be a nice addition to any computer, in spite of the high price tag, and the couple usability issues (fixable). There is hope these will get addressed (including the macro recording timing and the volume control wheel) in a next software/firmware update... Note: I probably should get this keyboard for free in view of the QA work done for Corsair! What say you?

I previously used a regular K100 with the knob before moving to the Air model. My biggest concern was that this would just be an extravagant version of the Microsoft Surface Keyboard which I use at work when in office. Thankfully, it delivers on all fronts to be an actually very good offering from Corsair for a premium wireless keyboard. The keys do the best that they can while being low profile and are much more sturdy and snappy than a regular laptop or membrane keyboard due to there being Cherry switches in them. The RGB can be controlled via iCue, however certain elements do require the board to be plugged in to function, such as light sync. The media keys in the top right are familiar to any previous Corsair keyboard user, however on this board they are incredibly shallow and flush to the rest of the chassis, rather than being large buttons. The keyboard absolutely takes some time to get used to after using a regular keyboard for so long. When typing, I still flub keystrokes often and when gaming will misplace my left hand off of WASD as there's nothing much denoting what keys are which without a glance. Typing on this keyboard once you're in a groove feels very nice however. I use this keyboard to game and also for working from home by utilizing the built in bluetooth switcher on the G keys and it is great. I have a regular Corsair USB adapter plugged in with this keyboard and my M65 mouse going to my PC, with both of them connecting to my work laptop via bluetooth. I can easily switch between devices while playing World of Warcraft and definitely doing my job! I got this keyboard on sale and close to $200 rather than regular MSRP. For that price it feels like a fair deal as the board itself is quite built and offers what I'm looking for. I'd definitely wait for it to go on sale rather than buying it for the near $300 MSRP however. It is better than the Microsoft Surface Keyboard!
