I have a Mac Studio Ultra and a MacBook Pro, each of which have rubberish (ie: soft), low-profile keys, and that's what I've been used to / using for YEARS, so I was a little apprehensive about actual plastic keys. Because of the non-haptic nature of the previously mentioned soft-key, keyboards, I didn't want a hard-key keyboard that "clicked" with each key press, thus I opted for the Optical Keys, and they are buttery smooth, and quick. I actually find myself WANTING to type things, just because I like the way the key actuation feels under my fingers. Having said that, the only "issue," (for lack of a better term), that I've encountered, are the "G" keys on the left side of the keyboard. I've set them up to "Keystroke" commands for day trading (ie: if I set up "Ctrl + 1" as the key to "Sell" my shares on my day trading platform, I've noticed that even though, say, Key "G1" is properly assigned (meaning, "When I press G1, that is your cue to send the keystroke command "Ctrl + 1"), and sometimes it wouldn't work...however, if I manually hit "Ctrl + 1" manually, it would work. So, I don't know if that was just an interface disconnect between the keyboard and my trading platform software. Having said that, I really like smoothness of the key actuation. In addition, I like the fact that the GUI / Software, allows you to color-code EACH key, or a series of keys, or ANY combination of randomly assorted keys (ie: Say, for whatever reason, I want the Keys Z, H, Y, 7 and TAB to be BLUE, and the NumberPad to be ONLY Red Keys, and the Function Keys to be ONLY GREEN....I can to do that. Or, you can set up any combination of keys to cycle through a bunch of pre-programmed patterns and/or colors of the rainbow, so it's kind of like having a nightclub INSIDE your keyboard. While I don't use it for gaming, and that sort of constant wave of light shifting is not my thing, I do like the ability to pretty much configure each and every key, in ANY way I want, to display any color or pattern I want. Overall, I'd highly recommend the keyboard. Oh, and the "noise" level (if you can call it that), is limited to how hard you depress the key, and how quickly you let it up. The keys are obviously depressed until they hit the keyboard body, and then when you take your fingers off the keys, the keys spring back to their topmost position, but with the 'Optical" keys, there is no loud "CLICK" sound (nor Haptic), so if you're trying to type while your partner is sleeping nearby, it'll be a lot less noisy compared to the traditional "Clickety-Clackety" of traditional Haptic Keyboards, that sound like Typewriters. Lastly, LOVE the "Volume" Roller Wheel on the top right, so that I don't have to take my use keys, or take my hands off the keyboard to use the Mouse Scroll Volume Wheel...can just dip up to the right hand corner, roll the wheel whichever way I need the volume to go, and go right back to what I was typing. The Stop / Play / Pause / FWD / Back buttons are also a nice touch.

I upgraded from a Corsair K70 Lux (6+ years old). I think initially I was a little under-wowed because really it's not a huge difference, but thanks to Palworld of all things, I really was happy to have macro keys again and made the purchase more worth it. My K70 was still working fine, but the older key caps were starting to get scratched a little and because of the non-standard key format, it was going to cost me $50 to get a new set of PBT caps. So I decided to spend $150 (Black Friday pricing) to get a new keyboard with the features missing from my K70. So what's different? Well 2 of the biggest changes is that the K100 comes with PBT caps in a STANDARD layout, meaning if I ever wanted to buy some cheap pudding caps or whatnot, I have that option now. And it has a row of 6 macro keys on the side, which I found I missed from using Logitech KBs for the previous 10 years. I also have the new OPX optical-mechanical keys, which I'd heard mostly good things about (with a few caveats I'll mention later). This also has a wheel on the top that can do several things, but I think the use cases of this for most people is going to be fairly slim. The only times I've used it is to adjust the RGB brightness, which is rare. It's really not as useful as people may think. Also initially I thought mine was broken because it wouldn't adjust, but after fiddling with it for a while, I pushed down on the wheel and it popped down and worked properly at that point. Basically it had come off it's connector. Also the K100 has a much nicer wrist rest than the K70 Lux and it has RGB lights along the outside of the KB which are pretty nice. About the OPX keys, any negatives are a matter of getting used to them. They seem maybe a little more sensitive than regular mechanical keys, but it's rarely been an issue. One thing I noted that I've only ever seen mentioned once is they keys have a more hollow sound to them than the keys on my K70. I didn't like it at first, but again it's another thing that you get used to after 2 weeks. So YMMV. So you might not see a huge difference if you're moving up from a working RGB kb to this, but definitely think it's worth it if you're coming up from a non-mechanical and want RGB and macro keys. I just recommend monitoring the price and that'll take some of the sting away.

I’ve been using the Corsair K100 for a bit now, and it’s easily the smoothest typing keyboard I’ve ever owned. The OPX switches feel incredibly responsive and consistent, whether I’m gaming or doing long typing sessions. It genuinely feels like a flagship board the moment you put your hands on it. For gaming and productivity, it shines. The macro-on-the-fly functionality is extremely useful, and the dedicated control wheel is one of my favorite features. I didn’t think I’d use it much at first, but it’s surprisingly versatile once you assign it to things like volume, app switching, or custom functions. It’s a small detail that ends up making a big difference. That said, iCUE can be a little sensitive and occasionally annoying to dial in perfectly. It’s powerful, but it may take some tweaking to get everything exactly how you want it. Also, at full price, this keyboard is definitely on the expensive side. Build quality is excellent — it’s heavy, solid, and doesn’t move around at all (which I personally prefer). The RGB lighting is beautiful if you’re into that sort of thing, with lots of customization options. One extra note: Amazon’s used or “like new” options can make this keyboard a much easier buy if full price is out of reach. It’s a great way to experience a true flagship board without paying top dollar. Bottom line: If you want a premium keyboard for gaming and serious typing and don’t mind spending a little time setting it up, this is a fantastic option

I've owned tons of Corsair's previous keyboards starting with their early monocolor white led k95 to the various other iterations of the K70 and K95 that were released over the years. I've always had some issue with them that made me hope that it would be fixed. The first K95 had problems with the black on the keycaps wearing off and the led lights dying quickly. Later RGB versions seemed to fix the LEDs dying, but introduced issues with a single key press registering multiple keystrokes. Then the quality of the keycaps of newer releases seemingly degraded and were completely loose out of the box. So loose that if you tapped a key too quickly, the keycap would fly off the board. That got old very quickly. Then the K95 RGB Platinum also had the issue of some of the LEDs starting to become really dim compared to the other keys. I switched to the EVGA Z20 after I got fed up with the various issues, but found it had its own host of problems including random disconnecting from the computer and losing power regardless of what USB port I plugged it into. I discovered that Corsair had a new keyboard with a new type of optical switches and decided to give their keyboards one more chance. After some months of use, I have to say this keyboard is fantastic so far and all my previous issues with their keyboards appear to be gone. - The keys feel just right when typing. - The fonts used on the keyboard look a lot better and the keyboard overall has a classier look to it. - The keycaps are not loose in the slightest. They are snugly fitted to the switches and actually takes a bit of effort to pull them off so I'm not worrying about them flying off the keyboard anymore mid-game or while chatting. - There hasn't been a single instance of a single keypress registering multiple keystrokes. So far, the LEDs for these OPX switches have been holding up over the months and I hope they stay that way. - The keycaps are double shot so I don't have to worry about the paint on the keys coming off. - Not really a past issue per se, but perhaps due to the new OPX switches, it's not as loud when the keys bottom out while typing compared to the Cherry MX switches. An improvement in my opinion, but some people might prefer the louder clickety clack of the Cherry MX switches. As an added bonus, the wrist rest is also their best yet. It must use a memory foam inside as it has yet to flatten out even after applying a lot of pressure on like resting my elbows on it frequently. It's a huge improvement over the hard plastic wrist rests with the rubberized coating. It also conveniently snaps right onto the keyboard with magnets. If I were to list any cons, they would be: - Price. This is one expensive keyboard. I have had no issues with it so far, so I'll take it over having a cheaper keyboard with problems. - Easy to accidentally press a key if you're not careful as they are linear and don't require a whole lot of force. Also, they have a VERY short actuation distance. - I find the scroll wheel to only be mildly useful, but that's just my based on my own needs and usage.

I love Razer's optical switches and was really looking forward to Corsair's own version and while good, I think this keyboard didn't provide me with what I was expecting for its price. To be clear, this is a great keyboard overall. I doubt anyone would regret buying it. Great response, many nice features and very sturdy and the RGB has good lightning, which makes it look really cool on the desktop. Also, it has a USB passthrough which is always super welcome. Good hand rest, more keyboards should include one. I love the media controller buttons and knob. They do their work, but they are nice. Then there is a special wheel. It is an interesting proposition. Click it's main button and you can change the level of lightning, click it again and you have a wheel to change between active programs. Click it again and you can do other stuff like zoom in and out. These is programmable from iCue software and it is an interesting gimmick. I am still unsure how much I will use it on my gaming sessions, but still interesting. I have a few caveats though. 1. For some reason the keys feel smaller than more other keyboards I have used. I have owned several Razer keyboards, the k95 from Corsair and currently typing on an old MS Sidewinder keyboard. The k100 is the first one I feel that my fingers are big for the keyboards. It is a weird sensation. I can live with that, but still feels weird. 2. The iCue software. I thought that the Razer Synapse was bad, but then it came this one. For some reason it fails to register the lightning options of the Keyboard, and when the computer goes to sleep, after coming out of hibernation, all keys are stuck to red solid color. Only solution I have found is to save the lightning profile to the keyboard and then closing iCue and don't allowing it to run with the computer start up. I have looked online for a solution to this, to no avail. 3. The last one is just a personal taste and the -1 star is not to this. I find the actuation to be a bit too short. These switches feel a bit like cherry red as well, a bit too clicky for my taste. This is completely my own mistake, I should have checked more reviews for the actuation and sound. It doesn't feel bad, but I prefer how the Razer Hunstman feels over this. It is a good keyboard and I might get used to it. I am sure those who like the clicky sensation will find this keyboard very satisfactory. There is a reason is considered a premium one, you can tell it is good quality, but I probably should have researched a bit more if this was in line with my expectations.

I've had this keyboard since February 22, 2021 and it's been very good. Previously a had a red led K98 which still holds up very well but I decided to go for this fast beast. The transition took me about 8 days to get used to because this keyboard (K100) has somewhat smaller keys. They are not bad and are very good. I'm sure the keys are a bit smaller and closer (less distance between each other). Either way, I can't do anything but recommend this keyboard. The only reason it is not perfect is that the little legs that lift it from the desk go from Left to right and right to left instead of the classical approach from the screen to you... This design sometimes causes those flaps to fold and the keyboard "fall" if you move the keyboard around too much. Changing that to the classic approach would do it for me. The other thing is that the software doesn't have many useful options for the iCue branded button on the top left of the keyboard. I would like to see the software giving access to it via API so we could give it some nice uses. Other than that I can only say it's been fantastic. I know it's a top of the line keyboard and it is pricey but if you can save for it then you will never have to look back. Good job to everyone @ Corsair that made this product possible. This keyboard is here to stay.

I do a lot of typing for my job, so I don't mind spending a little on keyboards for the quality of life improvements they bring, but I've found it surprisingly hard to find keyboards that I really love. In the past I've looked for keyboards with backlit keys, which makes it easy to spot keys at a glance, and Cherry MX switches because of the more satisfying tactile feedback they give. But even among those higher end keyboards there were always little things that bugged me. Up until very recently, for example, I used a Corsair K95 keyboard. Great key visibility in all lighting and excellent macro capabilities, but the sensitivity of the keys was too high for me. I'd constantly find myself accidentally brushing a macro key or typing double keys because I pressed a millisecond too long, but I put up with it because it was kind of the best I could find with the features I was looking for. But then last week I was careless and knocked over a can of sparkling water and it zapped my K95 so I hopped on Amazon and bought what I initially thought was the same keyboard. When it arrived however, I discovered it was actually a newer keyboard in their line, the K100. I plugged it in and started typing a couple of paragraphs of stream of consciousness just to get a feel for it and almost immediately realized something major had changed in the new version. The keys have the same great visibility from the backlight, the same or maybe even slightly better tactile feedback with the new OPX optical switches, but the sensitivity is tuned to almost exactly what I would consider optimal. Responsive to every intentional keypress but forgiving of accidental brushes. I freaking love it. I love it so much I just bought it again to keep as a backup for the next time I act like an idiot and forget the no drinks on the desk rule. Keyboards are surprisingly personal to people, some people have found ways to keep using keyboards manufactured 40 years ago because they can't stand the feel of more modern designs, so I can't guarantee you'll love what I love about this keyboard. But I can tell you the feel of typing on it is buttery smooth, the aluminum case is solid feeling and stiff, the sound and tactile feedback of keypresses is very satisfying, and it seems to all be calibrated to be sensitive but not too sensitive. If you have the budget, I'd highly recommend giving it a try.

We (along with my son) purchased not only 1 but 2 of these keyboards after getting a good payment out of our work in a videogame, we were really happy and excited about using this keyboard because it was THE best keyboard 1.5 years ago for what we needed. The excitement lasted for about 6 months. My son keyboard started failing on the volume wheel until after 1 year or use it completely stopped working, the selection wheel was also starting to fail and he had to disable it completely because it was changing things randomly. My keyboard on the other hand started showing up weird lights on certain keys, my backspace will turn green when it should have yellow, the same started happening with my "D" key. A month later the "D" key lights failed completely, the key went dark and the backspace key was permanently stuck on "green". At the same time my apps wheel started failing as well and will switch my apps randomly so I have to disable it completely. Keyboard was working more or less fine during this time, except for those 2 keys with failed LEDs and the apps wheel broken. Yesterday 10/17/2023 my "F" key started pressing itself at random times and today, when I woke up, the "F" key is now render entirely useless as it is always pressed. I tried everything in the book to clean up the key to no avail, the famous OPX optical switch seems to have a durability of no more than 2 years, the "F" key cannot be fixed, it is always pressed and I had to take the keyboard out and use an old keyboard. Right now, with 2 keyboards breaking within 2 years of being purchased, I can honestly say that Corsair long-term stability of the product is ATROCIOUS. They keyboard may be hard on the outside but the actual board where those switches are placed seems to be incredible unstable and prone to fail in the not so long term. Right now, I have 2 K200's valued at about $400 that can work very well as paper holders. I've learned my lesson, I've had to throw in the garbage 4 mices from Corsair that failed on me because of the mechanical switches and switched my mice to a Deathadder V2 who never failed on me for the past 3 years (Corsair mice lasted me no more than 9 months on average). I thought this keyboard was going to be "safe" because they didn't used mechanical switches but optical ones but I was wrong. This does not appear to be an issue with this product specifically but with Corsair. They should take a step back and retrace their steps, they are launching garbage products with reduce life-spans because they seem entirely unable to built quality products and test them appropiately. Do yourself a favor and buy Razer or Steelseries and avoid this expensive crap.
