Corsair K100 Air Wireless

Corsair's stylish K100 Air Wireless keyboard is packed to the brim with functionality despite its razor-thin frame, but it's almost $300, and its ultra-low-profile keys aren't ideal for gaming.

The Corsair K100 Air Wireless might have just blown away the likes of the Logitech G915 and Razer Deathstalker V2 Pro, which is saying a lot, and for not much more in price. This gaming keyboard is thinner, faster, better to type on, and comes with a lot more features.

The Corsair K100 Air Wireless represents the company’s first full-size wireless mechanical gaming keyboard, and it’s mostly a pleasure to use.

The Corsair K100 Air Wireless is undoubtedly one of the best (and most expensive) wireless gaming keyboards money can buy. It’s incredibly slim and offers a modern aesthetic alongside snappy and tactile MX ULP switches that feel fantastic for both typing and gaming. In addition, 50 hours of battery life is pretty decent, and the RGB backlighting is vibrant. Just note its high markup only makes it a worthwhile purchase if money is no issue.
