[@copy.4123]

Sure.

[@awesomeaxel1]

I build my own custom keyboards for typing, but I use Corsair boards for gaming. Over the years I've had a Strafe, K60, K70, K95 Platinum XT, and now am using the K100 with the OPX switches. Every one of my previous Corsair boards developed unbearable key chatter within a relatively short amount of time. The OPX switches are absolutely fantastic and I've had no issues with them so far whatsoever, they even provide a surprisingly decent typing experience.

[@icommandoi145]

you could buy o rings to place underneath the key cap to stop the clink clink bottoming out sound.

[@Mad.Maxx.77]

I've been rocking the Corsair K70 RGB TKL Champion with OPX switches for several months. It's quickly become my all-time favorite work/gaming keyboard.

[@mercix_vt]

is it hotswappable tho? if it can swap out the old or dead one and put new pcb fully compatible one, would it work with it?

[@Mad.Maxx.77]

@@mercix_vt No, it's not.

[@Ballistic_Turtle]

I'll keep my U4T's, but I've always like the idea of optical switches.

[@yazansamaro6411]

So which one should i buy the K100 OPX or K100 Cherry mix. I'm really having a hard time deciding. Please help me out!

[@michaelmichael8147]

Linus in theory, I agree, but I have used the optical switches and went back to the Corsair K100 keyboard. For me, the pushback on the Corsair K100 outweighed the speed of the new Corsair Optical keyboards. By the way, I only use Corsair keyboards for work and gaming, but so far, I am not a fan of the optical variety.

[@ldm125]

I have a K100 with OPX. I like it, with the worst criticism I have being that I found out I "drag" my fingers when typing and therefore would accidentally press extra keys quite often (not the keyboard/switches fault). Curious, what don't you like about them?

[@thebloger100]

I had to double check the channel I was watching

[@hawaiinsurferx]

I tried both keyboard switches on the k100 (OPX and MX cherry Speeds) and I personally prefer the MX cherry speeds. They just personally felt a lot better when typing and sound better too. The OPX keys are a little too loud for me as well and reminded me too much of my old 5 yo corsair keyboard.

[@GrandmasterHobbyist]

my question is whats faster the opx or the grey cherry speed switches

[@St4rTr3v1Ut10n]

​@GrandmasterHobbyist 2:09 did you even watch the video?

[@ethanmarkowicz6165]

Corsair please make a smaller micro atx or itx version of the 4000/5000/7000 lineup

[@lockidi]

[@anavan7]

Has anyone tried these CORSAIR OPX with o ring dampners? Any issues with actuation?

[@ldm125]

My all-time favorite keyboard is the 7-row ThinkPad keyboard. I learned to type on it and it's my favorite forever. My second favorite ever is my K100 with these OPX and some cheap half-height keycaps. I'll run this keyboard until it lights on fire.

[@BioHazard3600]

I personally think Optical switches are top notch compared to a traditional mechanical switch

[@Mr-Chris]

I like how because this is an ad, there is no Segway to a sponsor. However it would be funny if Linus inserted a Segway to LTT Store.

[@fifagi]

Is better (for fps videogame) the opto switch, or the switch in the k100 air wireless whit activation at 0,8 mm?

[@faint.2396]

They activate too fast and sometimes whenever I play Valorant, I accidentally jump or press random keys while I my fingers rest on the keyboard. I'm thinking of buying another keyboard that has a higher actuation point.

[@faint.2396]

I bought the Apex 7 TKL Brown switches. Really like it.

[@somnorila9913]

So you would advice for mgx instead of opx from corsair? As from what i understand, those can be easily set to different actuation points if you wish it.

[@faint.2396]

@@somnorila9913 I do not know about MGX but I refunded my keyboard and bought a Apex 7 TKL with brown switches. I currently like them.

[@faint.2396]

@@somnorila9913 But be aware that the OPX is really sensitive, you'll go crazy from the misclicks.

[@radeemer1]

But are these keys clicky or not?

[@shotbyarian]

so can anyone tell me if those are tactile, clicky or linear? i would like a k70 mx brown refreshed keyboard

[@forgo1912]

Well this is nice and all, but hey Corsair, HOTSWAP WHEN?

[@creepergod3692]

I have a k100 rgb... and holy hell man, it's stupidly fast, ESPECIALLY at 8k hz. NEVER miss an input

[@creepergod3692]

@chink exterminator I did find that out in the long term. I just leave it at 1khz and I did barely notice a difference. Tbh, I was a newbie to pc in general when I built mine and bought accessories. Only reason I bought a k100 was for the programmable keys and comprehensive macros

[@dw4421]

Lightswitches is one thing. What about drivers that should reduce latency / increase response times?

[@tcapfan4190]

Or an update to make Tarkov run smoothly!?!

[@AsreiMurasame]

Here's one thing lots of people would like to see is swappable optical switches, and a tactile switches. If you can make a optical version of the Holy Panda that's swappable I assure you, you won't be able to keep these keyboards in stock.

[@mr.noname9416]

[@tabu9033]

thanks CALDER from WOOTING for creating a masterpiece 🥳🎉

[@bobsanders8682]

I still want to know the exact stem type? New to keyboard customization and all the fun stuff.

[@llxVxll]

this feels like a solution to a nonexistent problem. I've had my k70 for going on 10 years now and even before covid I was working and schooling from home so everything, EVERYTHING was done on my PC. Gaming, movies, music, work, school, you name it. I've never had the a key go bad on the keyboard. Did the keyboard wear out a bit over the 10 years of me having it, ofcourse, i've had to replace the keycaps once because even though they are 'antighosting' i still managed to wear through the out layer of black to expose the translucent white layer below, but the keyboard still types without any issues, no double typing/pressing, no major issues at all. Hell I've even spilled water on the damn thing like 7 times and it still works. The one thing that I do like in the k100 is the multifunction dial at the top left. Problem is i cant stand the g keys to the left. i always end up pressing those by accident so at this point i'll upgrade if they release a version of the k100 without the g keys (k80?) or if my k70 goes bad.

[@LongJohnnn]

Can't relate. All my keyboards have eventually had switches that end up double pressing or being inconsistent.

[@ViktorasFr]

Would the key presses be quiet on them? Had a mechanical k95 and omg the clicks were so loud :(

[@megamanlinkfan]

no joke the optical switches in my k100 were so fast it took me months to get use to them.

[@Defa.design]

I'm about to buy a K60 RGB Pro with Cherry MX Viola switches due to my budget. Maybe one day I'll be able to test these out, or at least I hope so...

[@michaelmichael8147]

I formerly used the Corsair K60 and as said in my earlier opinion, find Corsair Cherry MX keyboards better than their optical for gameplay. I am not using the K100. Good luck.

[@Defa.design]

Linus in a Corsair vid 😨

[@Energyone]

...yeah but what about the feeling and the clicks if you are a Blue fan? Also, if anything happens to your keyboard and it is outside of the warranty, CORSAIR does NOT repair their keyboard products... at all. If your warranty is over and anything happens... you have to put it directly into the garbage. Corsair will not repair their keyboards. Period. I have a K70 RGB and I have never found anyone that would repair it. It doesn't matter if you have money, Corsair expects you to buy another $160 keyboard if it is outside of the warranty period.

Hi Linus

[@AlexStayReal]

Yes

[@senorchewie]

Damn was just an ad for corsair

[@BrettDeister]

So basically this is an A4tech/Bloody key switch since they have been doing optical key switches for years. This is nothing new, you just came up with a name. Even razer has been using the A4tech optical key switches for a few years now.

[@erwark]

Nah, they're basically Gateron Optical Silvers. *Exactly* the same design and specs. Literally the only difference is colour.

[@BrettDeister]

Which was taken from bloody. Gateron basically tried to copy it. Trust me Bloody is the one that created Optical key switches.
