SeekerCorsair K100 AIR
The Corsair K100 AIR is an outstanding gaming keyboard. It has impressive overall build quality and exceptionally low latency, supporting a maximum polling rate of 8000Hz using a wired connection or 2000Hz with a wireless connection. The low-profile, butterfly-style switches have a light tactile bump to overcome before actuating. However, they still feel very responsive due to an extremely low pre-travel and total travel distance. The low profile design of this keyboard also makes it comfortable to use without needing a wrist rest, although the keycaps themselves feel less high-quality than other aspects of the board.
