Satisfied with my purchase
- 15 août 2025[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Keys are nice and smooth and come with extras in case you like textured keys or if some break. Software is easy to navigate, and you can do interesting things with the lights. The integrated Elgato Stream Deck helps me out while streaming. The profile switching capability is nice for people who like having different keyboard setups for different games. This is my first keyboard with an audio control onboard, and it really is a lifesaver. Beforehand, I always had to Alt-Tab for audio control. Overall, the keyboard has offered more than I could have asked for out of a keyboard so I am pretty happy with it.

Expensive, but worth every penny
- 21 janvier 2022[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Double PBT keys feel solid and responsive without the noise you'd expect from a very clacky key switch. The OPX switches feel amazing. The iCue software makes configuring the exact color scheme you're looking for easy and intuitive. If you're a streamer, the G keys on the left can actuate scene switches and various functions using the Elgato software. The wrist rest is magnetic and squishy and keep your wirst comfortable and non-sweaty. The Keyboard allows up to an 8000 polling rate if you really need that lightning fast response rate while you're gaming. The RBG is beautiful. Photos really don't do it justice. I highly recommend installing the slanted additional keys it comes with for your WASD keys as it gives your hand and brain a little extra tactile knowledge of the keys your fingers are resting on.

Prepare to pay but worth the price of entry
- 16 octobre 2020[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone that uses the keyboard 10 hours a day for work, it's been great. I am typically a blue switch user and wanted something that was a little softer for the workplace that had macros. The iCUE software is complex but offers the user pretty much unlimited options and the ability to save a profile directly to the board itself and not need the software install to make use of the macros/rgb is such a godsend for a sysadmin who plugs into a lot of systems.

phenomenal keyboard
- 23 juillet 2022[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really nice keyboard - undeniably the best keyboard I personally have ever used, aesthetically and functionally. I work on my computer all day and when I am not working I enjoy gaming and trading, so my hardware is under consistent daily use. That being said this keyboard feels extremely solid and well built. The wrist guard feels good, the keys feel good and overall the quality level is really high. The well thought out look and feel would be immediately noticed by anybody. In terms of work, it handles and feels great and I appreciate that it seems be to be quieter than other mechanical keyboards I have owned. As far as gaming, it feels good and has a fantastic response, I also enjoy the included textured keys for "WASD". I have been building my own PC's for years and this current build has many Corsair parts (RAM, Cooler, Case, Mouse) so I appreciate that all of various features and lighting effects can be managed under one software, being iCue, which makes for easy use and adjustment of the multiple features. So far in my experience there are no downsides to this keyboard with exception to the price. For a brand new build, $200 to allocate to the keyboard does not make much sense when I would think someone would prioritize funds towards CPU, MOBO, GPU, SSD or RAM - So overall, this is phenomenal keyboard and I am satisfied with what I paid with respect to its value and performance and also compared to what I know is available for under $100- I also believe it is for the customer looking for high end accessories to compliment an already complete high end build. (Ryzen 9 5900x, Asus ROG Strix X-570-e Wifi II, Corsair H150i Elite, Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3600, RX 6900XT)

Lovely Keyboard, Stunning Colors, Pleasant Noise
- 4 février 2023[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely stunning keyboard with a fast response time. I would argue almost too fast. The keyboard knows what I'm typing before I do. I upgraded from the K55 to the K100 and have no complaints, it is definitely a huge upgrade and the keys are surprisingly light and not very loud. My biggest concern with a keyboard is it not being loud, and it delivered. Most clicky keyboards turn me away, but the noise that does come from this keyboard is pleasant. I also like that it has an extra USB with it for me to connect my mouse directly, I used to struggle with my mouse getting stuck on things during gaming.

K100 is Amazing
- 27 janvier 2022[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so happy I purchased a k100. I love how responsive it is! Compared to my last keyboard the logitech g510s which got really slow at the end of its life. I do sorta miss the lcd display but I only used it for monitoring of temps so meh. Everything else about the k100 is a huge upgrade.

Can take abuse.
- 19 avril 2024[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Extremely sturdy. This keyboard doesn't flinch at gaming in the slightest, especially in high intensity games of league or overwatch. Highly responsive, keys feel great. Doesn't feel like it's gonna give out any time soon.

My 342 day with this keyboard.
- 20 juin 2023[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] its a great product, really helpful when it comes down to either gaming or graphic design, programming, and so on mainly since the macros are so helpful. Although for some time my keyboard sometimes ghost clicks random buttons or some buttons would appear pressed when no one was pressing it, as well as the volume scroller (which when it works if feels so smooth) stop working altogether. I believe it was caused due to my environment which is very humid (Puerto Rico) so might have damaged the board somewhat so be aware. Overall I still say it's a strong buy 8/10. Luckily it has a 2-year warranty with the manufacturer so ill see if it's possible for a fix.

AMAZING RGB KEYBOARD WITH MANY FEATURES
- 6 mai 2022[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a beautiful RGB keyboard! Although it is a little pricey , I don't regret making this purchase! It is compatible with the ICUE software SCENES , and that is one of the main reason I got all my PC accessories corsair , so that I would be able to control all my RGB lightings with one software controller , and man this keyboard has amazed me. It also has the side G keys to create custom key binds and macros , you can set the keys to type a certain phrase or to open up a program! Ive also read that OPX Linear Switch is a little faster that Cherry MX Reds , but this one was on a discount for less that the Cherry MX Reds verson so I went with the OPX Linear Switch! The keys feel so soft when pressing down and the reaction time is amazing aswell!

Upgrade from K95
- 29 avril 2023[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgraded from another fantastic keyboard in the Corsair lineup the K95. Unfortunately after almost 2 years of light usage the wrist rest on the K95 started to peel in one spot. Luckily for me I purchased the 2-year protection for it and decided to get it replaced. Went to BB and saw the K100 had a different type of material for its wrist rest. A bit more expensive but went with the upgrade and don’t regret it! Both are superb keyboards that are beautiful and well-built in my opinion.
