Description

The Corsair K100 RGB is a flagship gaming keyboard that brings together the best of performance, design, and customization. Engineered for demanding players and content creators, it boasts an exceptional response time powered by Corsair’s AXON Hyper-Processing Technology, enabling an industry-leading 4,000Hz polling rate. This registers keystrokes up to four times faster than standard gaming keyboards, providing a noticeable edge in fast-paced competitive games.

Another highlight is the choice between two high-speed switches: Corsair’s exclusive OPX optical-mechanical switches, with an ultra-short actuation distance of just 1.0mm and a 150 million keystroke lifespan, or Cherry MX SPEED Silver switches. Both options offer incredibly fast linear actuation and responsive, lag-free gameplay. The doubleshot PBT keycaps are known for their durability and resistance to wear, fading, and shine, ensuring the keyboard’s premium look and feel last for years.

In terms of design and functionality, the K100 RGB is a true masterpiece. It features a sleek, brushed aluminum frame and a stunning dynamic per-key RGB backlighting, complemented by a unique 44-zone LightEdge around the chassis. The central iCUE control wheel is a versatile tool for controlling backlighting, media jogging, or zooming in applications, and is fully programmable via the powerful iCUE software. With six dedicated macro keys on the left side optimized for Elgato Stream Deck integration and a detachable magnetic memory foam wrist rest, the keyboard provides the ultimate comfort and versatility for any setup.
