Corsair K100 AIR WIRELESS RGB Ultra-Thin Mechanical Gaming Keyboard — Black
The Corsair K100 AIR WIRELESS RGB delivers full-size mechanical performance in an exceptionally thin brushed aluminum frame measuring only 11mm at its slimmest point. CHERRY MX Ultra Low Profile tactile switches combine a satisfying bump with a rapid 0.8mm actuation distance for responsive gaming, typing, creation, and everyday productivity.
Connect through sub-1ms SLIPSTREAM WIRELESS, Bluetooth 4.2 on up to three host devices, or USB wired mode with AXON processing up to 8,000Hz. Per-key RGB, four macro keys, dedicated media controls, an aluminum volume roller, 50 onboard profiles, and up to 200 hours without backlighting create a premium multi-device command centre.
CHERRY MX Ultra Low Profile tactile switches respond quickly while retaining mechanical feedback.
Move between SLIPSTREAM, three Bluetooth hosts, and USB wired mode using dedicated shortcuts.
Turn off backlighting to reach the longest listed runtime between charges.
An 11mm Brushed Aluminum Frame
The K100 AIR combines a minimal desktop profile with the strength, finish, and stability of a premium full-size aluminum keyboard.
Only 11mm at Its Slimmest Point
The front edge sits lower than many conventional mechanical keyboards and even many laptops.
Brushed Aluminum Construction
