There are two software programs that you’ll want to install to take full advantage of the K100’s features. I’d probably choose Corsair’s OPX switches over the MX Speed option (3.4mm total travel with 1.2mm pre travel, requiring 45grams of force) in the K100, but mostly out of a combination of switch feel and novelty than any sense of one being particularly better than the other at gaming. I’m not sure the OPX switches’ shorter actuation distance gave me any gaming edge, but I like the way the switches and keys feel, aided by the PBT caps. I paired the keyboard with the more modest (though very capable) Corsair Katar Pro Wireless gaming mouse and was quite happy with the results. Aside from typing, I also spent time gaming with the K100, putting it through a gauntlet that included Children of Morta, Borderlands 3 and Doom Eternal. I still prefer Blue switches solely for typing, but I’d consider Corsair’s OPX switches at least as good a compromise between Reds and Blues as Brown switches, though they aren’t as quiet as Cherry MX Reds. I found myself making far fewer repeated letter typos with the K100 than with traditional mechanical Red switches, and the bottoming out felt satisfying without being fatiguing. So how do the OPX switches actually feel? I definitely noticed the shorter actuation point and travel compared to the reds in other recent gaming keyboards I’ve used - but more so while typing than gaming. Switch Options, Gaming and Typing Experience If I didn’t have a non-gaming use for the control wheel, I probably would almost never use it, which is tough given it’s one of the keyboard’s two major new features and helps push the price up well above the vast majority of competing gaming clackers. But I found its usefulness in games minimal at best, since you need to move an entire hand off of the keyboard to use it, and the much-more-convenient bank of six programmable G keys are right there on the left edge of the keyboard. You can also program the wheel to perform other tasks or to trigger macros. I could see the wheel here becoming invaluable for speeding up my workflow, especially if I were someone who dealt more with digital media than text. It let me quickly and precisely dial in for detailed edits, then back out to see the bigger picture. As someone who edits photos both in my work and leisure time (with the latter also occasionally involving editing video), I found the zoom task the most useful with the wheel.
