Corsair K100 RGB

8 / 10 Expert Rating

A feature-loaded full-size flagship for players who want a control wheel and macro keys alongside serious polling speed.

Premium custom-keyboard feel, build, and programmability at a fraction of a custom build's cost — the best mechanical keyboard for most people, barring competitive 2.4GHz needs.
