    Quality not up to scratch, exorbitant price.

    What can I say?

    extremely fragile, poor-quality keys that break and squeak after a few months. The keys stay depressed and even activate when you brush against them...
    I have to admit, though, that Corsair's quality hasn't been the same for some time now. This isn't the first of their recent products on which I've had problems with wear and tear or poor workmanship. I'm thinking for example of their latest fans, "Corsair iCUE LINK QX140" (ultra expensive) which, at full speed, scrape the edges and make a shrill noise.
    Let's be clear, this is clearly one more malfunction that is likely to reappear even if I get a new one.

    As for the battery, it lasts a long time at first but seems to weaken relatively quickly.
    I know that a gameboy advance sp released in 2023, (for those who have the reference) is not comparable, because it did not support as many background processes, but turning it back on 10 years later and without intermediate recharging, there was still battery and more than 1 prct ...

    In terms of visual novelties, flat keys (which I'd been waiting for for years), flat keyboard and 4 addressable keys (really not enough, especially when you're coming from a good old K95, which was still of good quality)...
    (I've left the last few typos as an example of what you'll get 3 months after purchase, no this is not a simulation). See for yourself how my x, m and z keys stay depressed and out of alignment.

    In short, since Corsair's IPO in 2020, it's been nothing but Instagrammable marketing and false promises, a big disappointment.

    Very good equipment

    It feels very good in the hand, it's rigid and doesn't make a cheap plastic noise. The key layout is a little unconventional (wider spacing than a conventional keyboard) but it's very easy to adapt to typing.
    Typing itself is superbly pleasant for those who appreciate the feel of Chiclet keyboards.

    On the software side, I'm a regular iCue user, so it interfaces very well (note that the keyboard can't be configured in Murals in wireless mode, but it works in wired mode). The traditional profiles work in all cases

    It's expensive (as we all know, price isn't Corsair's strong point), but it's very pleasant to use, especially when you're working in a predominantly Corsair environment.

    An exceptional gaming experience

    THE CORSAIR K100 AIR with Cherry MX Ultra Low Profile switches is a marvel of ergonomics and performance. The keystrokes are incredibly responsive, delivering an immersive gaming experience. Programmable keys and RGB customisation add a touch of versatility. The build quality is robust, and the magnetic wrist rest is an added comfort. However, the price may be a deterrent for some. All in all, a top-of-the-range keyboard that will satisfy demanding gamers.

    Magnificent

    A magnificent brushed-effect aluminium keyboard.
    It's very easy to use, with a simple set of keys you can change or save your light effects and choose different light effects.
    This keyboard exudes reliability, but you just have to get used to typing on it because it feels very different from my previous keyboards.

    A keyboard that's a change from the classic

    This keyboard has changed my life as a gamer and in the office. The keys are precise and have a shorter travel than the traditional keyboards I used, and above all they're very quiet. >It offers a wide range of options for creating macros and illuminating keys.
    I'm very happy with my purchase despite the price. I ordered from the LDLC shop in Bayonne where I was very well received and advised.
