    Disappointed.

    To be honest, I only kept it for about a year.
    Then I sold it. These are my observations,
    Negatives:
    - Purely a marketing product, some will say it's super fast and super responsive etc.... But in the end, it doesn't change much for the average person in my opinion (apart from a few exceptions, perhaps professional gamers will see an advantage).
    - Excessive noise.
    - Moderately pleasant typing for a 'mechanical' keyboard.
    - Too high a price despite the build quality and the software, which I think is pretty well done.
    - Some switches detach when the keycaps are removed. Except that, to my knowledge, this keyboard is not hotswap.
    - It's rather heavy (but made of aluminium, that's understandable).

    Positive:
    - Rather high quality in terms of finish, ...
    - USB port available and really powered up.
    - Very flexible key-by-key lighting.
    - ...

    In practical terms, what I've come to realise is that it's an excessively expensive keyboard that doesn't offer much in the way of fun for everyday use.
    I put together a keyboard myself for much less money just after selling it and I have nothing to complain about.
    Admittedly, it takes a bit of time and learning to know what to choose, where to choose it, ...
    But in the end it's beneficial.
    A keyboard with a pleasant sound, that can be modified and upgraded...

    The jewel of keyboards!

    One more small compulsive purchase but then what a joy. No regrets.
    I'm going from a BenQ celeritas 2 keyboard to another dimension. The corsair k100 is so fast. The materials are of high quality. The rgb is not to be presented any more... I did not find any fault with it.
    The handle rest, which I don't use personally but my opinion may enlighten some people, is really superb. The finish is impeccable, well padded and the fixing system is as simple as can be.
    You will have understood, I am conquered. The only problem is the price...

    I'm very pleased with the quality of the product. The delivery is fast and accurate. What more could you ask for.

    Perfect keyboard!

    Hello,

    Coming from a Logitech G915 keyboard I knew I would lose the wireless and the low profile switches.
    I'm looking for a new brand of gamer hardware after 15 years of loyalty and I've recently switched to Corsair.

    It's really a nice surprise,
    I've been using them for a while now and I'm really happy with the quality of the keyboard and the performance of the switches.
    I have never had such a responsive keyboard before and the fact that I have switched back to wired keyboard allows me to do a lot more, better rgb lighting, usb port to connect the wireless receiver of my mouse (Corsair also).
    I've been using it for a while now and it's a great tool to help me with my work.
    The wrist rest is really comfortable.
    The "Icue" software is very good and the build quality is really good.

    I can't think of anything wrong with this keyboard to tell you how perfect it is for me.
    If I really had to find one it would be the glossy coating on the top of the keyboard which could have micro scratches very easily.

    Thank you LDLC for the quality of delivery.

    Almost perfect

    This keyboard replaced my old K60 which was getting really old.
    The quality of finish is exceptional, the wrist cushion is nice.
    The typing is clean, even if I would be absolutely unable to compare it with "classic" mechanical switches.

    I'm not used to macro keys, it's disturbing at the beginning when I used to look for the button at the end of the keyboard to press "Escape" and now it doesn't work anymore ^^

    The iCue software for RGB customization is not bad, even if it lacks a bit of customization, and the assignment of macros is not easy that's why I take off 1/2 star

    You can go there with your eyes closed, LDLC always on top

    beautiful keyboard

    I've been using this keyboard for a while now, but it's a good one. I'm not using it all the way with all the possibilities it has with the scroll wheel, but it's really good.

    Corsair quality at Corsair prices

    This keyboard is indeed the best in 2021:
    +The sensitivity of the mechanical keys is incredible, I can't decently say I perform better in games because of it but I feel a difference.
    +The lighting and colour customisation is exceptional. The lighting and colour customisation is exceptional, you can literally configure the keys one by one.
    +The ergonomics are good, the wrist rest is comfortable.

    However it is not perfect:
    -It hogs 2 USB ports and the cable is definitely too short (~1.50m).
    -The iCUE software is heavy and difficult to use.
    -The price is... Well, Corsair... 250€ for the keyboard, at this price it could at least make coffee.

    TLDR: Great but too expensive.

    The best. With some (very small) flaws...

    First of all, I'm not a "pro" of computer hardware. I'm just a gamer, who uses his hardware on a very (too) regular basis.
    I bought this keyboard to replace my Razer keyboard.
    I've only had this keyboard for a few days, so I'm not totally used to the K100.
    I find the keyboard beautiful, very customizable thanks to the ICUE software.
    The fact that the keys are raised like this will make cleaning quick and easy, compared to my old Razer keyboard, where I had to remove each key one by one, as well as its plastic "tack". However, this has a disadvantage: because the keys are high and without edges to rest our hands on, our palm will naturally come to rest on, or at least touch, the bottom keys (CTRL, Windows, ALT, Space, etc). The wrist rest solves the problem, but it becomes mandatory.
    Speaking of the wrist rest, maybe I'm not used to this keyboard yet, but I feel some pain in my left wrist after several hours of playing, although it's quite pleasant at the time. The only drawback is that it's made of fake leather. This means that it's quite hot (especially at the moment), and that you're bound to sweat on it, and I know from experience that this kind of material tends to wear out very quickly due to perspiration.
    Another negative point: the numeric keys (on top) are very busy. They could have arranged the characters in a different way to use all the space on the keys instead of stuffing them on the top part of the keys.
    Last negative point: the pressure needed to activate the keys. I don't think I have "fat fingers" or particularly heavy fingers, but I find myself pressing the Q or A keys quite often without meaning to.
    In short, a very good keyboard with a few flaws!

    High quality keyboard

    I received my Corsair K100 keyboard with the OPX switches, it works great and you can see that you are on a high end keyboard.remarkable typing comfort, not as noisy as you would imagine, reinforced keys for gaming, in short perfect keyboard in my opinion.fully customizable on the iCue application perfect and complete, very detailed customization! I recommend if you are looking for a quality keyboard and adapted for gaming or typing comfort.

    High-end keyboard

    It's a great keyboard, not necessarily great for typing, but great for gaming. It's a great keyboard for gaming, but it's also a great keyboard to use. Macro and customization at the top
