A little quieter than my old Logitec gaming keyboard. But it sounds good and crisp. I don't think you can adjust/muffle the sound.

The main difference is the triggering of a keystroke: Cherry-MX When pressed, a metal part held in flex is released, which makes contact until the key is back up and pushes the metal part back. https://www.cherrymx.de/en/cherry-mx/mx-original/mx-speed-silver.html Corsair OPX When pressed, a pin interrupts a light barrier and thus triggers the keystroke until the pin is out of the light barrier again: https://cwsmgmt.corsair.com/landing/keyswitches/video/Corsair-Opx-Switch.m4v Both are pushed upwards by a spring. The resistance is the same for both (45g). The Cherry switches release 0.2(!) mm later and can be pressed 0.2 mm further. Therefore, they may be (imperceptibly) slower, but (imperceptibly) more forgiving if a key is touched unintentionally. These differences are probably within tolerances. Both are extremely fast compared to other keyboards. MX switches have worked reliably for years, and are dirt and dust resistant. Optical switches are relatively new and not very common, and I can imagine that dirt or dust once it has reached the bottom of the switch will permanently trigger it and make it unusable, whereas the contact in the MX switch virtually cleans itself. In addition, the light barrier requires other electronic parts that are probably more sensitive than the 2 metal parts in the MX switch. I would buy the MX switches, but not this keyboard again, because: too expensive terrible ping noise If you want optical switches, I would have a look here: https://steelseries.com/gaming-keyboards/apex-pro These switches are not triggered when a horizontal barrier is broken, but constantly measure the position of the key from below. This has the advantage that the trigger point can be variably adjusted, which in my opinion offers a clear advantage over the mechanical switch. However, you will probably adjust it a few times and then leave it where it was comfortable.

Unfortunately, these cannot be easily removed or reinserted without soldering. At best, the following keyboards would be interesting as an alternative: Glorious PC Gaming Race GMMK (US, cable) Glorious PC Gaming Race GMMK (cable)

what do you mean by "modest"? i got the keyboard yesterday and can't complain at all. comfortable as you can expect at this price... ditto regarding the quality

China. Wieso ist das relevant?

We currently have no supplier who can supply us with the CH version. We hope to find an alternative soon.

Hello, I use it every day, you can easily swap the keys (Z/Y and A/Q) so that you're more comfortable, you put the keyboard on your computer in FR(CH) and you don't see any difference.

This item is on sale and no longer available from the supplier. We regret that we will therefore no longer receive a delivery of this item.

It seems that you have already tried everything possible to solve the problem. Describe your situation to our customer service so that they can check it out and work with you to find a satisfactory solution.

Unfortunately, the CH version is EOL (End of Life). We are therefore no longer able to offer it. We ask for your understanding.

I had the K95 before and also diiverse other Corsair keyboards. The surface of the K100's tray is textured, which makes it very comfortable. It takes a while to get used to it. In any case, nothing "sticks", even in high summer. However, it is not that soft. It is when you press on it with one finger, but when the weight is distributed over the palms of your hands, it's different. Extremely annoying with the K100 is the macro function or macro recording. It doesn't work as you would expect and Corsair support says "as designed". I wouldn't buy the keyboard again because of this, especially considering the price.

Well, I bought the k100 about 2 years ago and I have to say that I am absolutely satisfied with the palm rest.

I myself do not use the palm rest from the Coirsair and have replaced it with the Kingston HyperX Wrist Rest. I can only recommend it. If you want to have my palm rest, then you can get in touch with me.

In this case, please contact our customer service directly so that this can be checked and you can be helped accordingly. https://helpcenter.galaxus.ch/hc/de/requests/new

Hi, Unfortunately, this keyboard has no IP32 as in the older Corsair K68. The alternative would be the SteelSeries Apex 3 https://www.galaxus.ch/search?q=SteelSeries%20Apex%203 Kind regards

According to Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/ji74eh/can_i_swap_the_key_switches_on_the_new_corsair/): It works, but it's very difficult, so it's certainly not hot-swap. If you want other switches, build a custom keyboard or buy another one, this one is not worth it.

Ist ne grosse enter Taste

The optical ones react faster and are more durable. The stroke is slightly shorter (10mm stat 12mm). Recommended for gamers. However, it is also a matter of getting used to it. Some people say they have trouble with the optical because the click sounds and feels different.

No, I suspect the opx is more expensive because it is optically mechanical.

Why do you ask a question about this product and then only ask about the Graka's? Dude, I received an email because of you and wanted to be helpful, and then I see that there's just some unnecessary question being asked here. No one can really answer and inform yourself, then you would also understand this...

The OPX switches are faster and therefore only offer advantages over the MX Speed switches. In short: As an owner, I recommend the OPX switches from Corsair.

You can change it in the settings.

Hey, opx and opto-mechanical are the same. There are currently 4 K100s available. 2 are with the German layout (not yet available) and 2 CH layout (available). CH layout with OPX: Corsair K100 (CH, cable) CH layout with MX-Speed: Corsair K100 (CH, cable) Are both 270.- Greetings

Yes, I can give you that. I have the Corsair OPX switch, which is even faster than the standard MX Speed. See https://www.computerbase.de/2020-10/corsair-k100-rgb/ My recommendation for gaming: OPX Switch from Corsair.

Yes, they exist, but not here in the Digitec.ch shop.

It's a matter of taste. I had some problems with it at the beginning because I'm not used to it. It really only takes a gentle press to trigger the button. So especially when I wanted to place the thumb on the space button while playing...

If this means the switches with the light barrier, then yes :)
