The sublime Corsair K100 Air Wireless is just $225 from Best Buy right now
A big reduction on a super slim mechanical keyboard.
Best Buy has been knocking out of the park with some of their recent deals on peripherals and other PC based items. This time, I've got a deal for you on the especially slender Corsair K100 Air Wireless, one of my favourite gaming keyboards from the last couple of years. It's been on sale a few more times in recent months, although not at quite as large of a discount as they've got it for here. It's currently $225 from the Best Buy giving you a saving of $55 off its usual list price.
For the asking price, you're getting a sleek keyboard that's only 11mm high at its slimmest point, emphasing its status as an ultra low profile keyboard. It's well-built, too with a blend of metal and plastics used in its frame, and offers a full complement of keys, including some additional macro buttons which can be programmed in Corsair's software. There is some handy RGB lighting for added vividity, and the lighting present on the K100 Air Wireless is generally excellent. It's also fully addressable in iCUE, giving you even more flexibility over how this board looks.
The big thing with the K100 Air Wireless is its MX ULP Tactile switches, which offer an especially snappy and tactile keypress which proved to be excellent for both games and general use. They’re designed more for use in high-end gaming laptops from the likes of Alienware, but make for some of the best low-profile switches available, and some of the absolute best tactile switches I've used in a keyboard to date. If you're someone who's used to a laptop style experience, but want more of a solid and tactile keypress, the ULPs work an absolute treat. Their slender total travel distance of 1.8mm also makes them especially snappy and ideal for high intensity games, too.
Connectivity comes in two wireless flavours, with the K100 Air Wireless working either over Bluetooth or Corsair's Slipstream wireless receiver for especially low latency. If you want to use the K100 Air Wireless over its bundled USB-C cable, however, then you also get the benefit of Corsair's AXON processing tech for even more responsive inputs thanks to a higher polling rate. Its battery life on a wireless connection is decent, too, with up to 50 hours of runtime with RGB enabled, which beats off the competition from Razer and Logitech by quite some margin.
The K100 Air Wireless is a fantastic wireless gaming keyboard, with good looks, some especially snappy switches, and marvellous connectivity. If you're after a particularly slender keyboard for adding into your setup with quite a big discount, this deal from Best Buy is well worth a look.
