CORSAIR, a world leader in high-performance gear for gamers and content creators, today announced the availability of the CORSAIR K100 AIR Wireless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard from the CORSAIR webstore and distributors worldwide. Priced at an MSRP of $279.99, the K100 AIR combines state-of-the-art gaming performance and everyday productivity, in an unbelievably thin design. The K100 AIR is CORSAIR's thinnest gaming keyboard, measuring just 11 mm at the slimmest point of its elegant brushed aluminium frame. The keyboard is a true mechanical keyboard, featuring Tactile CHERRY MX Ultra Low Profile mechanical keyswitches to deliver a hyper-responsive, satisfying keystroke with 0.8 mm actuation

To complement its thin design, the K100 AIR offers versatile and agile wireless connectivity options on a host of devices. Effortlessly switch between hyper-fast SLIPSTREAM WIRELESS and low-latency Bluetooth on up to three devices at the press of a key, for masterful multi-tasking protected by AES 128-bit encryption. USB wired mode on PC and Mac enables 8,000 Hz hyper-polling, powered by CORSAIR AXON Hyper-Processing Technology. The keyboard's long-lasting battery grants 50 hours of life with RGB backlighting turned on, or up to 200 hours with backlighting off, so you can play for days.

[Editor's note: Our in-depth review of the CORSAIR K100 AIR Wireless is now live]



The K100 AIR offers full control over RGB lighting effects, running up to 20 complex hardware RGB lighting layers at once thanks to AXON. Customize your keyboard with CORSAIR iCUE software, unlocking dynamic wireless RGB control, as well as key remaps, macros programming, and synchronization with the rest of your CORSAIR RGB setup. As both the aesthetic and performance focal point of your entire desktop, the K100 AIR elevates your play.

The CORSAIR K100 AIR Wireless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is available in a wide variety of keyboard layouts worldwide. For more information, visit the product page.

So you're saying that the keyboard should be more expensive? Because that is not a lot of money for a month of work.

Well depends on what are you doing in the free republic of peoples china :D

No, this thing is way too overpriced imo. I can't imagine the BOM, RD, PR and business meeting where they calculated this price. Maybe someone from nvidia is working there now :D
