SeekerCorsair K100 RGB
The Corsair K100 is fantastic for gaming. This very well-built keyboard is comfortable to use, and it has customizable RGB backlighting. The Cherry MX Speed switches have a low operating force and a short pre-travel distance, and the latency is extremely low, with an 8000Hz polling rate. It's also available in Corsair OPX switches, which are advertised as having a shorter pre-travel distance and should feel a bit more responsive. All of the keys are macro-programmable, and there are six dedicated macro keys on the left side.

Corsair’s K100 RGB switches to optical-mechanical switches, increases the polling rate to 4,000 Hz (thanks to a multi-threaded SoC), and adds a customizable iCue control wheel. It’s a nice-looking, comfortable tool that can be used on and off the virtual battlefield. But the price goes up $30 from what it was before, to $230.

The Corsair K100 RGB keyboard is about as robust a gaming keyboard as you can get. It comes with just about every bell and whistle you could ask for, as well as an incredibly fast performance thanks to both the OPX switches and the 4000Hz polling rate. If you’re not scared off by the price and want a keyboard that can handle anything you can throw at it, the Corsair K100 RGB might be the perfect keyboard for you.
