Pros & Cons
Pros
Rapid volume controls (with scroll function) makes muting area chat flawlessly fast. The programmable rgb effects are mindbogglingly vast and varied.
The keys are like a steinway and are beautifully stroked. They are very light to press, but are satisfying.
The corsair has the fattest, most robust keyboard cable i've ever encountered. The finish on the keyboard also feels really premium, with that aluminium finish. It is unquestionably the best keyboard i have ever used.
The k100 air is absolutely something to brag about. It feels like it's gonna last and i have confidence that it will. This keyboard is beyond amazing when it is all lit up. It's the best keyboard i've ever played with, na na na.
Rgb lighting is nice, i'm a fan of the rainbow wave preset myself. It syncs nicely with the corsair scimitar mouse. Lighting and macros can all be selected without installing any bloatware.
Cons
It is completely ok to sell refurbished items, even for similar/same prize as new, but this must be always advertised. Amazon accepted exchanging the item free of charge, however this kind of behaviour is not admissible.
Case ping is very evident when typing. One of the lights is stuck on a single colour even once turning off all lighting and messing with the keyboard settings. Just buy a logitech g915 for gaming or a logi mx mechanical for work.

Replaced a razer blackwidow v2 tkl and while ive only been using it for around two weeks it already feels much better to type with however i do find myself hitting the caps lock key a lot more than before but i cant figure out why

Had a slight issue with icue software to begin with causing every key press to make the lights go crazy no matter what setting they were on but had no issues since

The most surprising part of the keyboard for me was the wrist rest
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
While the razer had a large padded wrist rest the corsair is a lot thinner but much more comfortable for prolonged use
