Corsair K100 OPX Optical Mechanical Review: FASTEST Gaming Keyboard??

[@Glarses]

0:36 so what I'm hearing is that full sized customs need to be a thing?

[@badseedtech]

Not the first time this week I've had that conversation with someone actually. Can you fathom the price of a top-tier full custom chassis? The size of the brass weight? You could probably curl the board for reps in between lobbies.

I mean 1800 layout customs are a thing, so why not? I think there have been a couple of attempts over the years.

Holy moly, I've been trying not to buy keyboards anymore but now my favorite KZbinr BadSeed Tech did a review of an awesome keyboard..... Great review as usual, I might buy this one.....

[@DiscoWalrus]

Didn’t know Sora watched bad seed tech. Cool.

[@WilliamRivera343]

I picked one of these up a couple of days ago with some store credit I had at Best Buy so I only ended up paying just $107 with the tax included. I really like the switches and how quick they feel. Didn't take me long to get used to it. My copy also does not have any of the case ping mentioned. Overall I am extremely satisfied, especially for the price I got it for.

[@LordWiseWolf]

One of the reasons I go with big brands is I love a full size keyboard. I need my 10 key. Granted I work at a bank, and becoming a financial coach. Its insanely useful. It’s just real hard to find a custom keyboard I like that’s full size.

[@jay108D]

Best intro description ever

[@Scribblescrabbly]

Honestly I lubed up my huntsmen tkl linear switches and stabs with tribosys/dielectric and they sound and feel better than my friends custom.

[@AnzelLmao]

Goes to show how preference plays such a strong role in this hobby! Also afaik due the design the new razer switches are stuuuuupid smooth, only issue is the sound. What switches did your friends custom have!

[@Scribblescrabbly]

Anzel Arce NK creams

[@Scribblescrabbly]

Vapor Opened up the case removed all the switches and lightly lubed where plastic rubs against plastic and where the bar meets the plastic. With this switch you cannot disassemble without damaging it so everything must be done from the outside. Before when I shook the keyboard left and right there was a shifting noise from the bars on each switch. Now that sound is no longer there and the keys wobble a lot less. Now the keyboard has a nice crisp thocc sound. In addition to all this I have insulated the case with thin foam.

[@JinX0011]

Just got one of these this week...well, actually, two of them. One of the Cherry MX and the other with the optical switches. Both have this dreadful metallic ping sound when typing. Lowering the feet so the keyboard lays flat helps somewhat (or, maybe it's just wishful thinking), but it's still pretty bad. :-(

[@KGB-FSB]

That's why I returned mine. 2023 Corsair may release the new flagship replacement with better sound dampening and choice of switches.

[@nikandjack]

Good review as always. I have to agree with you that Corsair needs to make a smaller form factor keyboard like an updated version of the lux 65. I main the Corsair k70 Low Profile with speed silvers and it's a phenomenal board, but sometimes I wish it's a little smaller like my Drop Alt.

[@ashfaquezaman7555]

such well made review videos

[@InsertSuperCreativeName]

Can we take a second to apreachate the volume counter at the switch noise test

[@alexgieder9107]

I just got this board and let me tell you. It is the best feeling board that I have used yet. But that case ping is something that might make me return it. I will let yall know

[@OverHaze]

I still consider the Wooting boards the best optical keyboards out there. They have more features and software that doesn't suck!

[@PitiPablo_]

The stabs are really impressive for corsair

Because they are optical switches, does that mean they aren't soldered in?

It's kinda hard looking at anything keyboard related, whilst waiting for my KBDfans tofu65 and tealios V2s to get here. Love the videos, part of the reason I chose to build my own this time around.

[@thisguy2973]

That’s the difference between prebuilts and customs: I can go to the store right now and pick one up. These small brands selling boutique shit can’t get their products to customers. It’s like the majority of the electric car market.

[@tofu.delivery.]

I feel like rattly stabs shouldn't be a point of discussion anymore now that we know how cheap easy it is to lube them with dielectric grease and an inter dental brush. I lubed my logitech boards and they sound and feel perfect, and I can't tell the difference in stabs between these and my custom.

Also sad to see Wooting not being even mentioned.. But steelseries and Razer gets mentioned... Should really mention the brand that did not patent this for their own use and rather stay open about it, to then open up for more brands getting into it, to then grow this tech/market even bigger and better!

[@blemir6049]

question wouldn't the k65 mini be faster even though its not optical like the k100 because the polling rate of the k65 mini in 8000 instead of 4000?

[@BrettGDB]

I currently have a Corsair K70 and am looking for a new keyboard. The K70 was my first 'gaming' keyboard and I'm kinda confused on what to look for. The direction I do want to go in though is: good for typing (I'm very big into tpying), size doesn't really matter to me, budget 120$. If you could recommend me anything that would be great.

[@shanksisnoteventhatstrongbruh]

It's still crazy to me that mainstream companies are not making Southpaw full size keyboards, it makes too much sense to have arrow keys and numpad on the left so you can have as much room as possible for your mouse(like using a 65%-75% keyboard). Look up ''Southpaw extended 65% keyboard''

[@honor5881]

[@ssjtom118]

Have you considered reviewing the Everest Max keyboard by Mountain? I think it would be right up your alley of preferences. *fingers crossed

[@ltsjoke5443]

hopefully this rise in demand for customs will eventually be enough of a push for supply to keep up.

[@technorunner1]

Anyone who owns a Corsair keyboard, could you tell me if iCue has a lighting profile similar to Logitech's "Screen Sampler" profile? It's a lighting profile that takes what colors it sees on the screen and puts them on the keyboard in real time. I want a Corsair keyboard, but I also am really happy with that specific lighting profile. Currently I have a G910

How do monitors with higher FPS affect keyboards with high polling rates? Also i found out that my GK61 may have a polling rate of 100hz. Do you have any thoughts on that? How good or bad is that? Thanks brian!
