Corsair's gaming keyboard has a new king: the Corsair K100.

If you are trying to stay one step ahead of the competition, you are probably looking for the fastest and most powerful keyboard available. Corsair has always been at the forefront of developing such gaming keyboards. And with the Corsair K100 RGB, they are taking gaming keyboards a step further.

Since the debut of the K60 and K90 in 2011, Corsair has laid the groundwork for high-quality gaming keyboards; in 2014, the company offered the first Cherry MX RGB in a keyboard, giving gamers fun lighting effects with capable mechanical key switches. 2015 In October, the company debuted its first keyboard with Cherry MX Silent switches, giving gamers the benefits of mechanical switches without the noise. Less than a year later, it was the first keyboard to feature Cherry MX Speed switches for faster-paced gaming.

The story of its progress didn't stop there; in 2017, the company began using PBT Double Shot keycaps to provide even more durability and longevity to its keyboards. And Cherry MX Low Profile switches were first available on Corsair keyboards.

This year, Corsair took its gaming keyboards even further: in addition to its recent integration with Elgato's streaming tools, Corsair now offers the Corsair K100 RGB keyboard. This new entry into the high-end keyboard market takes high-performance PC gaming to new heights with its onboard processing technology called AXON. the AXON processor not only allows the keyboard to handle 20 layers of software independent RGB lighting effects as well as enabling a polling rate of 4,000 Hz. This high speed reduces input latency to just 0.5 ms, making the Corsair K100 RGB the fastest keyboard on the market.

As competitive gaming moves to an increasingly fast pace, aided by monitors with extreme speeds beyond 240 Hz refresh rates, the ability to keep up with display response times and minimize any form of latency can be a serious perk for gamers. And the Corsair K100 RGB is ready to deliver.

Speed is not the only thing gamers get with the Corsair K100 RGB keyboard. This keyboard features a three-sided RGB LightEdge with 44 LEDs, plus per-key lighting, and plenty of customization options to take advantage of AXON's features. It also features Corsair's solid construction with an aluminum frame and durable double-shot PBT keycaps.

This is the first keyboard to offer Corsair's new OPX Optical-Mechanical key switches, although it also features Cherry MX Speed Silver key switches.

Of course, Corsair doesn't stop at just a few perks. There is also a gorgeous wrist rest that attaches magnetically to the keyboard. Macro keys and dedicated media controls are also included, along with aluminum volume rollers, and with the addition of iCue and Elgato Stream Deck software integration, this keyboard's customization options and features are truly top-of-the-line.

In short, if you're looking for speed to beat the competition and take both streaming and gaming to the next level, the Corsair K100 RGB is a must-have option.
