Corsair - K100 RGB Optical-Mechanical Gaming Keyboard — CORSAIR OPX Switch

Ngl when I got my k100 1-9 on the top were a different color than the color I selected . Everything was up to date and then eventually a few days later it sorted itself out?! Idk I’m not sure if that’s going to be the case for you but definitely the keyboards are finicky

mine's been great other than the volume rocker being wonky. after the warranty expired when you raise or lower the volume it goes all over the place.

I do feel like the LED screen is too sunken to really appreciate the screen. Overall it's not bad just wish it wasn't sunken in. It's the same issue I have with Razer Blackwidow V4 Pro with the media controls being sunken in and why I still mainly use my Corsair K100 instead of the Blackwidow.

If it's wasn't for icue crapping itself I'd say the k100 is the best (loose control of the gkeys in the stream deck app) I used to have the k60 rgb pro but every 4 - 6 months I'd have to replace it as a key stem would snap. After about keyboard replacement 5 dying I swapped to the k100 and it's been the best for the last few years, no issues. Comes with the perk of being soo loud it pisses my mum off

That’s always going to a personal thing. Personally, I think Corsair’s board quality and features outpace Logitech and Razer. Razer and Corsair switch type is about the same quality (for OPX vs Analog Optical Gen 2). For this sub though, both are garbage tier. And I say that loving my K100 OPX that is collecting dust. There are MANY better switches and boards. Hall Effect is the current push, but optical isn’t too far behind if you don’t need “rapid trigger.” Wooting 80HE from a pure performance standpoint (irrelevant if achievable by a human) is probably the best gaming keyboard spec wise, but the build quality and feel is not perfect. Different boards and switches for different folks. If you like flashy RGB and Razer Synapse (honestly why for Synapse though), more power to you. If you don’t, there’s an ocean to explore.

I have been struggling keeping my old Razor Blackwidow, and it finally died. I decided a long time ago that my next keyboard was going to be a Corsair. So I went with another mechanical keyboard with programmable buttons on the side and a full number pad. I have no regrets what so ever! A significant improvement all around. The keys are precise and almost too responsive. It feels good to use. The macros are fairly easy to use, but, for some reason the macro keynrecord doesn't want to read key typing. I get around this easily with the direct add inputs options. Anyone know why this is? That aside, 9/10 with a point off for the usual unfriendly iCue use and maybe a glitch, as noted.

I've actually been surprised with how well the macro buttons are working. The record key function doesn't, but after inputing the via command, it's been perfect.

To wrong the macro I uses these three dot options https://preview.redd.it/sm7umbvqbsge1.png?width=216&format=png&auto=webp&s=f62da9da6f3df962785acff764236ebe9ddd5c02

I got the Corsair K100 and had a Razer Blackwidow Chroma before, the K100 is so good for being $80 I think I got it for.

I personally love corsair keyboards, first mechanical was a k55, then a k95 rgb platinum, now on a k100 rgb platinum. I

After long standing K100 i use, i look this new V96, i look the pro and hope full keyyboard but sadly, its just hall effect and add useless LCD for $230, maybe few years will release Vanguard 100 with full keys, halleffect, better led not burn out, at price close $200

Love the k100 only thing is i like tactile switches that is the only struggle but its no problem with the opx linear ones. i need the G-Keys for some actions in world of warcraft. i bought mine 2023 after my logitech g910 died. I also have the nexus but i cant recommend it, dont but it.
