Corsair's New 'K100 Air Wireless' Keyboard is the Brand's Thinnest
Corsair has just debuted the ‘K100 Air Wireless,’ a mechanical gaming keyboard that holds the title of Corsair’s thinnest gaming keyboard to date. The keyboard features Cherry MX Ultra Low Profile tactile switches, a numpad, Bluetooth capabilities, and 200 hours of battery life when the RGB is turned off. The K100 Air can poll at up to 8,000 Hz over a USB cable, but when using Corsair's Slipstream Wireless dongle, this rate is reduced to 2,000 Hz.
Since the low-profile tactile switches are only 3.5mm tall, they resemble the scissor switches seen on the majority of laptop keyboards. Corsair’s ‘K100 Air Wireless’ is now available on the gaming peripheral giant’s website at a retail price of $279.99 USD.
