Corsair unveils K100 Air with low-profile switches and up to 200 hours of battery life

Corsair has a new flagship wireless keyboard – the K100 Air. The new keyboard offers low-profile Cherry MX mechanical keyswitches, as well as a brushed aluminium frame to keep it light and portable. 

The K100 Air is Corsair's thinnest gaming keyboard, measuring in at just 17mm at its thickest point and 11mm at its slimmest point. Under the low-profile keycaps, you will find tactile Cherry MX Ultra Low Profile mechanical switches with a super responsive actuation point of just 0.8mm. As far as the wireless connectivity goes, you'll get Corsair's own Slipstream Wireless, as well as low-latency Bluetooth. Between the two, you can connect the keyboard to three devices at once and switch between them at the press of a key.

The battery life will take you pretty far, lasting for up to 50 hours of use with RGB backlighting turned on, or up to a whopping 200 hours with the backlighting off. With that in mind, you should get multiple days, or even weeks of use if you sacrifice the RGB lighting. For charging, or just using the keyboard in wired mode, there is a detachable USB-C cable.

Unfortunately, there is a hefty price tag attached. As nice as the keyboard looks, it is £279.99, which is on the very high-end side of the market for a prebuilt keyboard.

KitGuru Says: On paper, the K100 Air offers a great feature set. Whether or not that is worth the near £300 price tag remains to be seen.
