Corsair K100 RGB Optical-Mechanical Wired Gaming Keyboard - OPX Switches - PBT Double-Shot Keycaps - Elgato Stream Deck and iCUE Compatible - QWERTY NA Layout - Black

TL;DR - 10/10. Premium price, but premium quality in return.I will admit that I was a little hesitant about getting a wireless keyboard, mostly because of battery life and dropped connections. My job sometimes requires me to act quickly to fix an issue, and I was worried about the connection suddenly dropping when I was racing against the clock. I had a Corsair K70 and loved it, but it was getting old and had started acting up on me so I thought I would take a shot on this one. Oh boy, am I impressed. The keys feel incredible, the battery life is fantastic, and the connection is solid with no noticeable input delay. The "Slipstream" wireless receiver can pair multiple Corsair products as well, so you don't need to take up multiple ports if you like their product line.Pros:- Battery lasts me several days, working 8 hours a day and typically gaming or browsing for a few hours on top of that. I usually leave the RGB lighting on the highest brightness, so you could get even more life out of a single charge if you turn it down/off. I haven't checked charge time from 0-100%, but it charges fast enough that it doesn't matter to me personally.- The connection is solid. I'm about 10 feet from the dongle with my body, desk, and other equipment in between and have no noticeable input delay or dropped inputs.- The feel of the keys is amazing. I know this is more of a subjective matter, but I think they have just the right amount of "click" and feedback. They're a little less "clicky" than the Cherry MX Red switches that were in my K70, but still tactile enough to feel just right.- If you're also using a Corsair wireless mouse or headset, they can all pair with a single "Slipsteam" dongle so you're not taking up multiple USB ports with different receivers. I imagine this also cuts down on the interference that would be caused my having multiple wireless receivers next to each other?- Multiple connection modes - wireless, wired (while charging), and bluetooth with up to 3 pairings. Switching between connection modes is as easy as pressing FN+[corrosponding key].- Premium quality in every category that I can think of.Cons:- If you don't already have/use it, you'll need the Corsair iCue software to control many functions of the keyboard. I don't like having so many different pieces of software to control my system, but it's practically unavoidable. Luckily, iCue isn't one of those "in your face" pieces of software. It runs at startup without any popup or loading screen, and simply sits in your system tray until you need it.- Expensive, but you honestly get what you pay for.- That's it. I have no actual complaints, I love this thing.

Let me tell you, when I say this is literally the best keyboard I've owned in my entire life, I mean it with every inch of my very being. This keyboard is absolutely PHENOMENAL. If you ever thought Razer had quality, then you need to set your eyes on this absolute beast.I can tell you, the utility wheel does not get in the way of your gaming. In fact, there's a lock button right next to the wheel that disables it entirely. However, as someone who draws a lot on a tablet, I LOVE the utility of the keyboard as a whole. I can adjust the volume without opening up the slider, I can preprogram functions on my wheel that I can use on my art program, and I can even change the music on my keyboard with the onboard buttons right above the keypad. Even if you don't have a lot of use for things like this, the keyboard itself is fantastic.I don't personally know a lot about specifics when it comes to what specs modern gaming keyboards have, but I really love the switches on this keyboard. I've always loved the clicky-claky tapping of a mechanical keyboard, so I was a little disappointed when I first started typing. Then, I realized, the sound of this keyboard is really therapeutic. The sound is so much more hollow, and relaxing, I feel like I want to write a book just for the sake of listening to the keyboard. Plus, it's a lot quieter, so you won't bother your friends as much over voice.The macro keys are always a plus to have, but they can sometimes get in the way, at least, for me, since I tend to use escape a lot.However, I do have a personal issue with the keyboard's design. The keys are sensitive. You might think it a weird problem, but given how heavy handed I tend to be with my resting hand, I find myself accidentally pressing buttons I don't mean to be pressing. At first, I also thought this to be a specialized feature-- you know, the ones that try to simulate a controller by lightly pressing on a key like you would slowly pushing a thumbstick. Nope. After trying it on a few games, it's simply just a sensitive stroke.BUT, don't let that deter you from the absolute quality this keyboard has. After switching from a Razer Blackwidow to this, it's SO much lighter, and thinner compared to it. A personal favourite I've come to love about this keyboard are the lights on the edge. Of course, that's a feature with Corsair's firmware, iCue, but putting an audio visualizer on it while you're listening to music is a cherry on top.I don't know what more else I can say about the keyboard, other than I love it. Quite literally the best money I've ever spent on a keyboard.
