CORSAIR has released the K100 RGB OPX GOLD; optical mechanical switches with a 150 million-cycle life

Where can we buy it in the EU with US-Layout? Also do they provide the same device with Cherry MX Brown Switches ?

 

Nice, but very expensive and much louder than most of rubber ones. I would like very quiet rubber+optical keyboard with similar layout for half price.

gimme the TKL version please

 

it is loud and you can't do much against it as the noise is mostly coming from going back and hitting the up position not the bottom
the key "sense" is excellent I make less mistakes than I used too
the keyboard size-layout tough is weird...I have to place it way to the left more than normal and I still have trouble with that after months, the 1st weeks I couldn't type properly

 

so... LEDs are still susceptible to be damaged by the smallest ESD?

 

Are the original K100 optical keys unreliable?
Its strange an update is needed.

Regarding how loud the K100 is, its a lot noisier than my Steelseries Apex Pro with magnetic hall effect switches, which is also easier to type on.
(I have both k/bs)

Do normal mech keys only last 1 key press?
