Premium product but not without its faults
This is a great keyboard, that’s easy to type on, great ergonomics, mechanical keys, and overall premium looking with its aluminum body (Photo 1). It allows you to connect to 5 devices simultaneously (Wired, slipstream/dongle, and 3 Bluetooth devices) and switching between them is quick and easy. Then as a bonus, loaded with RGB. Dimensions/Ergonomics This is a full-size keyboard with keypad. Due to how low it gets I do not see the need of having to worry about using a wrist rest, thus allowing more space on your desk. Overall, it measures 43.6 cm in width, 15.3 cm in depth, and weighs around just 1.8lbs. For the 3 levels of height, it measured 1.6cm at its lowest, 2.0cm using the small riser, and 2.8cm with the large risers up. Quality I love the quality of this keyboard. It feels solid while also weighing less than 2lbs. The aluminum body looks fantastic and provides no flex in the keyboard. Keys feel stable under each press and the ridges on F and J are very imminent compared to my laptop keyboard (Photo 2 - K100 & 3 - laptop keyboard) allowing me to find my spot back easily. At the bottom you will find a nice art design going across the keyboard along with rubber feet along the lower level of the keyboard and around the risers (Photo 4). RGB The K100 Air comes with 10 presents for RGB effects. Pressing the same present again keeps the effect but changes the color. Using the companion software allows you to fully customize the RGB effects and even allows keys to be individually customized. All buttons light up with the RGB including secondary key functions and the logo at the top of the keyboard (Photo 5). The keyboard also allows you to adjust between 5 levels of brightness with the press of a button. Features This laptop is loaded with features and dedicated keys for them. At the top left you will find dedicated keys for individual profiles, brightness adjustments, and window key lock. On the top right is dedicated media functions, such as skip back, play/pause, skip forward, mute, and a scroll bar used for volume. Then above the number pads are dedicated buttons for each of the 3 Bluetooth, hardwire, and slipstream connections (Photo 5) Finally, in the middle you will find key indicators such as wireless on, slipstream activated, battery level (only when wired), and number lock on. Downsides Let’s just get the obvious one out of the way. Almost $300 for a keyboard is not going to be for everyone. The price is even harder to swallow when you realize you can’t replace the keys if one breaks, unlike other keyboards at a cheaper cost. Last issue I had with this keyboard is the glass black on the top of it. I am not a fan of glass black. As soon as I removed the “protected tape” off the gloss screen I could see scratches already. Then after using it for the past couple hours it has already accumulated dust and fingerprints (Photo 6).

Excellent keyboard!
Strengths: Excellent wireless performance: The Corsair K100 Air offers a stable and reliable wireless connection, making it a great choice for gamers and productivity users alike. Long battery life: With up to 50 hours of battery life on a single charge (with lighting on), you can enjoy extended use without worrying about constantly needing to recharge. Sleek and comfortable design: The K100 Air's ultra-thin aluminum frame is both stylish and comfortable for long typing sessions. Things to Consider: Charging requirements: The K100 Air may not charge correctly with all USB ports, particularly those that deliver a power output slightly below (or over) the standard 5V 1A. If you encounter charging issues, try connecting the keyboard directly to a wall outlet or a USB port on your PC that provides sufficient power. Limited customization options for low-power charging: While the K100 Air boasts per-key RGB lighting, utilizing these features will significantly reduce battery life. If you prioritize extended use on battery power, you might need to adjust lighting effects or brightness. Good thing is keyboard has autobrightness! Additional Notes: In your experience, the K100 Air did not charge consistently using a KASA power strip, possibly due to the power output being slightly below the keyboard's requirements. However, it functioned normally when connected to a reliable power source like an Anker power brick. It's important to note that your experience with the KASA power strip might not be universal. Other users may have success charging the keyboard using similar power strips.

Amazing keyboard, but with limitations
The amazing: - The cherry ultra low profile keys are simply amazing - short throw, very fast, but with wonderful tactile feedback. They are the best I have ever used. - The body is thin to the point of elegance, it is very solid, but small and light enough to take advantage of the wireless mobility. The pictures do not do it justice. - Both the slipstream wireless and USB wired connections are fast with no noticeable latency. The limitations: - There is zero Linux support. You have to run icue software on Windows to do anything - pairing, firmware updates, and RGB profile configuration. You can save some RGB profiles to the keyboard hardware, and these will work without icue, such as when connected to Linux. But you have to do at least the initial configuration on Windows. - The RGB configuration with icue is quite complex. Partly this is because you can have different profiles for Hardware and Software on each of the five connections (slipstream, wired, and three bluetooth.) That's ten different profiles, and there is a steep learning curve in setting them all up. Then the software is not reliable - I managed to get the hardware and software wireless profiles set correctly, but my software wired profile comes up solid red no matter what I do. Their troubleshooting guide suggests resetting the keyboard and starting over, but I've already rebooted way too many times back and forth between Linux and Windows to start over. Come on - this needs to be made simpler, and it needs to work. The strange: - OK, I get it that these ultra low profile keys don't illuminate the whole key properly. Some other manufacturers started placing the labels for regular and uppercase side-by-side on the top of the key. That's bad enough, but this keyboard puts the uppercase symbols on the bottom, and the regular case symbols on the top. This is absurd - the standard layout is over 50 years old, and the UPPER CASE is supposed to be on the top. Even this keyboard's shift keys have arrow symbols pointing up. So why are the uppercase symbols on the bottom? Stupid. See the attached photo - it's truly strange. Summary: This keyboard is so close to perfect, but I have to deduct a star for the lack of Linux support, the complexity of icue, and the bizarre symbol layout.
