This versatile keyboard comes with an IP53 rating, a rotary media control dial, six programmable keys, and 10-zone RGB backlighting.
"Hello everyone and welcome to another Gamereactor quick look. I think that Corsair is actually quite an underrated manufacturer in the gaming accessory space and have been for many, many years. It's because they rarely are the ones that push like a brand new Halo-ish feature, but what they do is that they very consistently create keyboards, mice, and those kinds of products that does exactly what you expect them to, they are very tightly integrated with a wide software suite, and they tend to be very well built. Take this for instance, the Skiff 100+, plus because that you get the full numpad over here and a number of different features that I think is very interesting to behold. So the first thing that you might have noticed over here is that there are six programmable G-keys. These are for macros, combos, and a lot more, and can, of course, be totally customized if that's what you want. There is a 10-zone RGB system, so not per key, but this is marketed as a cheaper alternative."
"That is also why you'll find a wire back here, USB Type-A wire. Are we at the point now where we can ask for USB Type-C style wiring on these kinds of things? We'll see where we are with that. But the point is that all of the essential stuff really is here.
These are quiet and responsive keys. They're not meant to be really clicky like you would expect from a MX Cherry Red, for instance. They're quiet, but they're still very responsive and tactile to the touch. I love it. And there is the soft-touch coating above them. The soft-touch coating is actually very important because this keyboard is IP53 dust and water resistant. While we are seeing it in some spaces within the gaming sphere, it is newer that these types of keyboards just have an IP rating outright. And that means that you don't have to take Corsair's word for it."
"This has been independently verified and tested so it can take a water spill, a Coca-Cola spill, or whatever dust and grain might make its way through the keyboard over the years. So what else is new? Well, there is this very, very lovely rotary dial here, which provides quick media control, but of course is clickable as well and can be customized further within Corsair's own suite. So all of this is very cool indeed, I would say, and particularly if the pricing model hits home, it really feels like you're getting a lot for a limited budget here. The macro keys, the rotary dial, these soft touch responsive and tactile keys, it's all pretty much here. Now, we will review this keyboard and we will take a stern look at the pricing next to other competing alternatives within, you know, that particular section of the market."
"for much more on the Skiff 100 Plus and other alternatives. See you on the next one."
