FACTS MY FRIEND, FACTS. never been happier about my keyboard buying decision with this one

Debating on the k100 or Razer widowmaker v4

@@juice3589 Do yourself a favor and get an actual decent keyboard. There are customs you can get for the same price and they are infinitely better.

@@juice3589 Do you mean the blackwidow v4?

Are the keys hot swappable? I want to be able to use Cherry MX switches and have the ability to change them out or replace bad ones over time and keep this keyboard for years.

Sadly he doesn’t know what he’s talking about acting like he’s changing the game up by using the keyboard lmao

@@oftheabyss3219 like: "cpu is asking the keyboard what's new 125 times over the span of 8 milliseconds", no, 125Hz means 125 cycles per second, that leaves 8ms for each cycle

@@jarkkoaitti287 Hah! Yes you guys are absolutely right, in my haste to get the video up I made a mistake on the teleprompter and mispoke BUT totally meant 125 times over 1 second and I never caught it. Glad to know I can always count on the comments section to keep me in check ;)

@@chaseevans9184 do the white corsair keycaps fit the k100?

@@winchesterarcade3097 Sort of, the white keycaps do not fit the bottom row since the K100 has a standard bottom row, but they should work on the rest of the keys. Just a guess, I honestly don't know for certain.

I know my k95 works with the stream deck software, sure this one does too. Would be sweet to make it with oled display

Yeah, I was looking at a custom solid brass keyboard (keycaps included) for over $1000 yesterday.

still one of the most expensive tho. He didn´t claim that its the most expensive.

@@FijyFilms so because custom gold-plated cars for 20 Million exist, a stock Bugatti suddenly doesn't scratch the surface and isn't on of the most expensive? Ooookay

i got it on amazon for $187 after tax and of course after my amazon employee discount

@Marcel did you get it from the United States ? When I bought mine from amazon us it was on sale for $197 plus tax can't remember how much it was but then my amazon employee discount kicked in and it was $187 I guess you europeans pay a really high tax to import your electronics

Uruguay noma

How about now

Update?, Lol. Just purchased this myself! Picking it up today!

@@theafterhoureffect4741 Still awesome as the day I got it.

@@lucutes2936 still do. Not one problem.

@@josephkeres4604 nice

I'm actually glad it isn't, just one more point of failure on something designed for typing at the end of the day. Imagine having to send your k100 back because the screen broke. However, if they included the Nexus module in the box that you could attach to the keyboard, that would make this the best keyboard ever IMO.

Don't think they won't at some point.

Everything RGB lol

Hello, the thing with Corsair, the opx switches have a 4,000 Hz which means it'll be similar to the cherry mx's.

I'm looking to upgrade to this keyboard from a K65 RGB with MX blue switches. I'm dont really play competitive fps so not sure how much the OPX switches will benefit me. Main concern is that I freakin love the sound of blues, so clicky and satisfying. With the K100, how different is it are keypresses nice sounding?

@@adamcatley4784 There are no clicks on the K100, more like little thuds. Linear keys does not have those typical clikity clicks, it's more like silent thuds depending how much pressure you use while typing.

bro my k70 rapidfire lasted over 7 years (still running gave friend old setup) and i spilt soo many fluids on that thing. just got the k100 not long ago loving it and also alot more careful with it haha

@@lightuptheL420 Yes indeed! I'm a diehard Corsair fan, my PSU, AIO CPU Cooler and mouse are all Corsair. Had also wanted their 2.1 PC speakers but they were no longer available where I am.

Hey @eijmertVR I'm not sure as I've never played around with the Apex Pro before. At first glance, the two keyboards look similar but there is a definite advantage to having the functionality that the K100 brings. Speed aside, I would hate to work without my iCue wheel, the 6 dedicated macro keys on the side are really useful (for things like Auto-run scripts in games and plenty of other uses) and I like that the dedicated media keys are at my fingertips.

When does the software update release?

Now

Lol just got this too better then a custom keyboard!

@@cantthinkofnameyeah7249 agreed. the keyboard is absolutely stunning, the features are so good to the point that i don’t even need them all but it’s nice to have them anyway. the key activation and low latency response time is an absolute game changer. the wrist rest padding is absolutely amazing. would never trade this keyboard for any other, it’s a piece of art that just so happens to be more functional than it is beautiful.

@@TheZGHD Yeah you would have to spend 50k to get a keyboard like this custom with all the same specs, actuation force, bottom out force, total key travel distance, response time all. Actuation distance is the only thing challenge by huntsman elite with custom actuation distance control and worse in every other spec.

@@cantthinkofnameyeah7249 and i forgot to mention the fact that you have to learn how to build a custom keyboard, then take the time to order all the parts and figure out what switches you’d like the most, then also having to build the keyboard. in all of that time, you could be working and making more than enough to buy the k100. it’s just such a dumb idea to me compared to buying something that costs less and has more functionality. it isn’t the same as building a pc, and people act like it is. cuz at least building a pc gets you a much better computer for the price

No, keep the k95 😊👍. Very good.. I'm upgrading from a logitech g19s to a k100 👍

I have them both and only upgraded because my k95 was so old and dirty. I think I liked the k95 more to be perfectly honest.

Yes

I just bought a k100 QWERTY but I also saw some AZERTY ones

The K100 is meant for gaming. It takes some time to get used to it for typing but it's possible. At first, for the first few days, or weeks, you will make a ton of mistakes but it gets you better at typing over time. Some people say they are terrible but it just means they never got used to it for typing. It's up to you.

I could see myself buying one in the future, I payed 1400SEK (~150 USD) for my K70 (MK1) over 5 years ago, but I probably won't replace it until it breaks... 😅⌨

@Nob0dy Yeah, many mechanical keyboards could probably last for a life time, unless some component on the controller circuit board breaks down. I actually spilled a small amount of water onto (into) my K70 a few years ago, the function keys stopped working for a day or so until it dried out, not sure if it could lead to any corrosion issues in the future? I also broke quite a few with rubber dome keyboards back in the days when I used to play a lot of FPS games.

What was flying

sherri moquin The Mike Pence’s fly. Lol

@@junito1008 so your saying it's an actual fly?

The Pence fly strikes again!!

@@chaseevans9184 i didn't even see anything like the fly you were talking about

Trust me - you don’t want to know. Corsair makes awesome hardware. But their software is garbage. Ruins and crashes all systems. Very odd cause they own elgato which has awesome software.

@@alecubudulecu thats because they didnt make elgato software they just have ownership

Same

I bought the k95 about 7 months ago...

Funny thing is I had the K55, it was my first gaming keyboard and I switched it for the K100, and I have never been happier with a keyboard. I gave the 55 to my girl so I still use it occasionally but it's super disappointing going back to that

Your Mom "Get a job you lazy bum"

Lol I actually accidentally broke my keyboard today and asked for this keyboard

@wangpie92 thank you very much for your answer but are you sure sure you have no issues working typing ? can I ask how fast you type and which switch you have on the K100 the mechanical or the optics etc the 1mm activation time seem crazy fast for typo that's why I ask... like if you type all day or program software etc I hesitate between the K100 and the Apex Pro series because the apex you can adjust the activation time on the keys but it doesn't have the 4000 polling rate for faster gaming input .... dont care about the wheel plz go on in details what you love about it and how long is the cable that come with it... like what happen if you plug just 1 cable does the keyboard work ?

@wangpie92 but you guarantee me it's good for work and general typing ? like I press A 1 time it doesn't do 2 A or if I hold the key a bit too long it does typo or multiple time the letter etc or stuffs like that because of the 1mm activation... im really not sure between the 2 keyboard which I should buy and the K100 is my top choice...

@wangpie92 do you use the wheel a lot ?

@wangpie92 how large is the gap in term of "feelings" and "touch" on each keystrokes compared a more normal keyboard ? I mean do you feel the quality all over its precise and super fast ? you didnt told me what happen if you plug just 1 usb cable does the keyboard work but not the color rgb ? is there any telemetry inside the corsair software ?

That's what I wanna know

@@xxtr0ckinit59xx7 OPX

Same. Can't go wrong with the huntsman elite!

I have the wireless Aquinos 6, with variable resistance maglev floating key membrane.

@@prod.elkai4 True. Why buy a product that's worse than another for the same price? Buying a 200 dollar Corsair just dumb

I have a Ducky mecha mini that I swapped for a K70 and won't ever go back

I don't get it

One might think. But this isn’t a new keyboard. This is just another iteration that Corsair been peddling for 10 year’s.

Nah, but still a good keyboard

@@HeadMelterOfficial "Nah" Isn't that what your mother said to you? The g915 is the best keyboard available for purchase. The custom keyboards are redundant and a waste of money.

@@tallswede80 So we think the same way about custom keyboards. But I didn't say the G915 sucks, it's one of the best keyboards I've ever seen after all

@@HeadMelterOfficial low profile keys are superior for typing or any gaming.

@@tallswede80 yeah I know

Nope

bahahaha polling rate isn't the same as screen refresh rate you numpty.

I used razer keyboards for over 10 years, they're great. I will definitely be using my K100 for the foreseeable future, though. It's just that good.

Chase Evans I say use whatever you feel like using :) they’re both nice keyboards :)

jgigna I couldn’t agree more! Ride it out until the end.
