Tech specs

Features

iCUE control wheel

With the iCUE control wheel, you have a convenient way to several functions such as adjusting backlighting, recording macros, selecting media tracks, and more. With iCUE installed, you have access to more modes and can also create your own custom modes, such as adjusting playback speed or zooming in and out of a mini-map when playing a game.

CORSAIR OPX keyswitches

The optical-mechanical keyboard uses the CORSAIR OPX optical keyswitches. These keyswitches use a beam of infrared light to register a keypress, giving the keyboard a smaller actuation distance and a faster time to register keypresses. There is zero debounce delay and rapid keypresses will still register.

Six macro keys for Stream Deck integration

On the leftmost side of the K100 RGB, there are six macro keys that you can assign macros created in iCUE. If you have Elgato Stream Deck installed, you can assign Stream Deck functions to the keys for easy access during your streaming sessions.

iCUE compatibility

You can use iCUE to customize the lighting of your keyboard and create macros that can be assigned to your six dedicated macro keys. You can also configure the various modes for your iCUE control wheel, as well as create your own custom modes.
