50 hours so it's","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":248.7,"end_s":253.799,"text":"okay that's a pretty similar battery life that you'll see in like

the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":373.86,"end_s":378.259,"text":"exact keyboard that you want to buy let's just type it out","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":381.56,"end_s":388.44,"text":"123.99 that's one of the I think that's one of the best ones I've had so far I","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":386.58,"end_s":392.46,"text":"have to admit I absolutely love typing on Chiclet keyboards there's something","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":390.0,"end_s":396.0,"text":"about having just that really incredibly tiny actuation force needed to press a","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":394.56,"end_s":400.319,"text":"key you know when you have to push really far down on your keyboard and","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":398.22,"end_s":403.919,"text":"then all of a sudden to go over to the next key you have to raise your finger","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":402.3,"end_s":407.52,"text":"up a little bit because there's just that much actual travel distance between","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":406.08,"end_s":411.18,"text":"the key being pressed and not being pressed the nice thing about Chiclets is","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":409.5,"end_s":416.58,"text":"your hands just kind of float right over top of the whole thing super easily like","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":413.4,"end_s":420.36,"text":"123 words per minute 99 out of the gate","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":416.58,"end_s":422.699,"text":"I'm super tired today you know not at my","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":420.36,"end_s":425.759,"text":"best at all and that's pretty good I do love the typing experience that you get","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":424.38,"end_s":432.24,"text":"from something like this and then if you already like Chiclet but you want a mechanical feel uh this is it honestly","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":429.9,"end_s":436.56,"text":"now that being said you can get pretty close to this in a regular low profile","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":434.16,"end_s":440.94,"text":"switch so I don't know if you need necessarily the ultra low profile that","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":439.02,"end_s":444.06,"text":"Corsair is offering here it does has come at a bit of a premium price and","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":442.5,"end_s":448.62,"text":"we'll get to that in a little bit but you know as for the RGB and the screen","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":447.06,"end_s":452.639,"text":"and everything it looks pretty nifty keycaps are double shot they're just ABS","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":450.84,"end_s":456.18,"text":"so I guess that's one of the real problems is you can probably expect them","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":454.62,"end_s":460.56,"text":"to wear out a little bit faster than usual I don't know how easy it's going","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":458.039,"end_s":465.84,"text":"to be for you to find a matching keycap set for this board when they do actually","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":462.599,"end_s":468.12,"text":"wear out so beware of that I suppose man","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":465.84,"end_s":472.02,"text":"if you like the way that Chiclets feel and sound and you want something","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":470.039,"end_s":476.039,"text":"mechanical this really kind of is it let's check out IQ you know I hate IQ","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":474.72,"end_s":480.539,"text":"but it's actually a really good program I hit it because it's a resource hog and","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":478.56,"end_s":484.919,"text":"I just don't like the Walled Garden that Corsair creates where it's like hey you","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":482.88,"end_s":489.0,"text":"want to use one of our products well I hope I hope you're ready to use all of","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":486.599,"end_s":493.38,"text":"our products because they all sync up really well in IQ and you can sync up so","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":491.639,"end_s":498.12,"text":"many lighting profiles this thing can do 20 simultaneously which is pretty wild","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":496.02,"end_s":503.699,"text":"and yeah it just it just works frankly like I've tried using signal RGB and","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":501.06,"end_s":508.68,"text":"open RGB they work pretty well but it's never perfect whereas if you're using","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":506.16,"end_s":511.8,"text":"all Corsair fan IQ just works let's see if our media Keys work let's just like","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":510.419,"end_s":516.539,"text":"put on a YouTube video or something connectivity was a breeze admittedly I'm","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":514.2,"end_s":519.599,"text":"using the dongle which just always kind of works at least for me personally

issues","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":521.82,"end_s":527.82,"text":"I don't know I would highly recommend using the dongle anyway I would only use","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":525.959,"end_s":530.94,"text":"Bluetooth if you want to keep the dongle in like a dedicated device and then

this","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":551.94,"end_s":558.779,"text":"just brightness or is this like RGB modes that's kind of the one thing that","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":556.2,"end_s":563.1,"text":"is a little Annoying actually they just strictly want you to use IQ and if you","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":561.12,"end_s":566.82,"text":"don't want to use IQ there was no quick start guide that says hey yeah use like","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":565.26,"end_s":571.08,"text":"function and this button to cycle through RGB modes or change brightness","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":568.8,"end_s":574.92,"text":"on the Fly uh one of these might do that but I don't know what it is so I'd have","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":573.48,"end_s":578.339,"text":"to look it up now I have to use IQ specifically you don't always want to do","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":576.839,"end_s":583.32,"text":"that it does look like this just kind of Cycles through and eventually turns

well if you like keyboards the K100 air Wireless might just be for you for those of you who move around a lot it's an ultra low profile keyboard if that wasn't clear by just how thin it looks on the packaging here wow it's only 17 millimeters thick at its thickest point and about 11 millimeters thin at its thinnest point I'm not super opposed to low profile switches I'm also not against like a chiclet style keyboard I personally find them totally okay to type on and while I'm not the kind of guy to take my keyboard on the go I can appreciate a really good Wireless connectivity system you know as much as I'm not always the biggest fan of some of course there's other products Wireless connectivity and RGB are kind of their strong suits oh it's got that big plastic shell on top in the Box wow that is thin BG's I've had some pretty thin keyboards on the channel but I think this might take the cake I mean yeah look at that this is like a razor before I you know talk a bit more about this keyboard let's take a look at what else comes in the Box we got a cable nice and braided or sleeved yeah it's about a five foot cable or so we got a warranty guide we got a safety information guide uh that's it though that's in the box that's that's that's all you're getting so it's just a keyboard I was about to say that I'm a little disappointed you don't get a keycap or switch puller in the box but I don't think you're really gonna need one with this uh the switches aren't hot Swap and honestly these keycaps are probably not going to be very interchangeable let's see can I even remove them okay they do pop off pretty easily actually but take a look at this as you can see they're pretty different from your regular non-ultra low profile switch it looks like they attach to the keycaps mostly the Central Point here this might be super hard to see it looks like that Central plastic Channel just kind of clips into this bar here in the middle as you can see the whole thing kind of butterflies down I don't know if it's exactly like a butterfly switch but it looks a little similar to me personally and as for how it feels you know it's okay I think if I'm gonna go chicklet I don't actually need mechanical in the first place it's kind of crazy to say but it's one of the only areas where I'm perfectly fine with using a membrane keyboard as for the rest of the keyboard you know you got some flip up feet multi-stage which is always appreciated to give you extra typing angles for whatever you'd prefer that's PCN Mac compatible which is most keyboards to be honest and you can connect it to a ton of different devices simultaneously which is always pretty cool one nice thing about buying from a company like Corsair or Logitech is that you actually get a ton of very dedicated media Keys like these don't appear to be on switches but that's okay because it's just like you know a back forward play pause mute and then you get this nice little roller bar here which I'm actually getting uh to be kind of fond of we also get a lock key lighting this looks like a profile switch this can actually hold up to 50 custom profiles for anyone who takes their keyboard between multiple systems you don't have to reset anything you just keep all your Macros and hotkeys and your RGB just the way you like it speaking of macros you also get four dedicated macro Keys based on the legend it looks like they control stuff like Wi-Fi and then the three different Bluetooth modes right out of the box but these are programmable and then aside from that it's just a full keyboard we got a numpad we got our home Keys we got our delete and insert and all that it's got a dongle so you have really dedicated connectivity they're using their slipstream technology for sub one millisecond latency it's pretty good we did test it and the wired mode goes up to eight kilohertz which is blazing fast the slipstream does support two kilohertz apparently but we were only able to test it at a thousand Hertz when Wireless so that's probably solvable through a firmware update or just a software update in IQ but we weren't able to get it done for this unboxing here as for the battery it's not bad without RGB this thing will do up to about 200 hours and then with RGB turned on probably at a lower brightness setting it'll do up to 50 hours so it's okay that's a pretty similar battery life that you'll see in like Wireless keycrons and whatnot they'll do more like 240 but you know 40 hours whatever this thing is super rigid and it's got this nice brushed aluminum look as much as I'm not crazy about Corsair's designs in terms of like layout and the whole structure of the board and everything I do really like that brushed aluminum look especially on a darker finish like you get with the K100 air and then on the back along with our adjustable feet we also get this really cool patterning as well as just a nice solid line of a nice rubber feet here to make sure that this thing isn't slipping all over the place it's super light though so don't expect you know that Ultra Premium it's heavy kind of experience that you get from a lot of other keyboards I want to plug it in and take a look at if there's any kind of RGB or information lighting up on this little what looks like it could be a screen here we're going to connect it to our computer and fire it up and take a look but not before a word from our sponsor for today's video we got a really cool opportunity to collaborate with Paradox interactive and Stellaris the hit Forex strategy game is free to play this weekend for everyone and allows you to build out an Intergalactic Nation from the early stages of exploration all the way to a democratic Empire or maybe a dictatorship if you're into that because I mean hey taking no for an answer sucks right there's so many different builds and so much variation in Stellaris that no two games are ever the same so start playing for free on June 22nd on steam or by following the link down below uh okay how do I turn this on where's the on button oh it's right here that was actually super easy to find and it's lit up and is it detecting it looks like it is because the roller bar already worked except you can't see that because I didn't start recording on OBS yet so just for reference what they're trying to get with this is about as thin as a laptop keyboard they have had these ultra low profile switches in some laptops I think that this is the first keyboard to actually have them though so if you've used them in other laptops and you liked the experience already then you know maybe this is actually the exact keyboard that you want to buy let's just type it out 123.99 that's one of the I think that's one of the best ones I've had so far I have to admit I absolutely love typing on Chiclet keyboards there's something about having just that really incredibly tiny actuation force needed to press a key you know when you have to push really far down on your keyboard and then all of a sudden to go over to the next key you have to raise your finger up a little bit because there's just that much actual travel distance between the key being pressed and not being pressed the nice thing about Chiclets is your hands just kind of float right over top of the whole thing super easily like 123 words per minute 99 out of the gate I'm super tired today you know not at my best at all and that's pretty good I do love the typing experience that you get from something like this and then if you already like Chiclet but you want a mechanical feel uh this is it honestly now that being said you can get pretty close to this in a regular low profile switch so I don't know if you need necessarily the ultra low profile that Corsair is offering here it does has come at a bit of a premium price and we'll get to that in a little bit but you know as for the RGB and the screen and everything it looks pretty nifty keycaps are double shot they're just ABS so I guess that's one of the real problems is you can probably expect them to wear out a little bit faster than usual I don't know how easy it's going to be for you to find a matching keycap set for this board when they do actually wear out so beware of that I suppose man if you like the way that Chiclets feel and sound and you want something mechanical this really kind of is it let's check out IQ you know I hate IQ but it's actually a really good program I hit it because it's a resource hog and I just don't like the Walled Garden that Corsair creates where it's like hey you want to use one of our products well I hope I hope you're ready to use all of our products because they all sync up really well in IQ and you can sync up so many lighting profiles this thing can do 20 simultaneously which is pretty wild and yeah it just it just works frankly like I've tried using signal RGB and open RGB they work pretty well but it's never perfect whereas if you're using all Corsair fan IQ just works let's see if our media Keys work let's just like put on a YouTube video or something connectivity was a breeze admittedly I'm using the dongle which just always kind of works at least for me personally if you're trying to connect this through regular Bluetooth you might have issues I don't know I would highly recommend using the dongle anyway I would only use Bluetooth if you want to keep the dongle in like a dedicated device and then you want to switch it over to say your laptop without removing that other really rock solid connection for sure that there we go actually look homeless mute boom it works the system works yeah play pause that works so let's see what uh this one is is this just brightness or is this like RGB modes that's kind of the one thing that is a little Annoying actually they just strictly want you to use IQ and if you don't want to use IQ there was no quick start guide that says hey yeah use like function and this button to cycle through RGB modes or change brightness on the Fly uh one of these might do that but I don't know what it is so I'd have to look it up now I have to use IQ specifically you don't always want to do that it does look like this just kind of Cycles through and eventually turns RGB off I never use locks on my keyboard and then it looks like our screen is just displaying some extra information like how it's wireless right now I don't know what the shield means and then for the lock you need a little lock symbol there I'm not sure what else populates on here looks like we've got a little battery and a power uh it's actually really hard to see though it would be super cool if this was instead of just lighting up a few symbols if you could turn this whole screen into whatever you want you put like a gif or something on there uh I think this is the profile button but I'm not 100 sure let's keep IQ open and take a look uh detected it right away it knows it's a K100 air which is super cool oh IQ oh you know what I can't find a quick start guide but I think they included a QR code for me to scan so let's try that really quick it took me to the store page I don't want to add to cart I already own this maybe it is a quick start guide and I hit the wrong thing I'm not sure I don't think it is it looks like it just took me to the store Page uh where you can probably download a little manual or something from the website slipstream connected lighting effects Hardware lighting performance oh indicators on brightness as much as I like IQ I also since I never use it I'm not very good with it so I'm not going to be able to show you a ton of IQ stuff so when we were doing our testing uh we didn't have the latest updates I just downloaded all the latest updates and Bam we've actually got eight kilohertz on the wireless receiver that's pretty sweet I don't think I've seen eight kilohertz Wireless yet I'm I could be wrong Razer has been putting out some pretty fast keyboards recently and there's a ton of other vendors as well so that's only for oh okay no no no that's weird wireless receiver polling rate eight kilohertz okay and then slipstream Wireless polling rate two kilohertz so I'm not sure which value this is the speed of the point-to-point communication over slipstream Wireless which may be affected by power saving mode and Multi-Device connections I'm not entirely sure how to get the actual full eight kilohertz through the wireless receiver but there's a setting for it so that's pretty cool oh it's got PlayStation mode built in boom PlayStation mode you can change a bunch of keys to be whatever you want there's a ton of customizability it's great there's perky RGB uh so you can assign whatever you want and create as many custom layers as you want wow as many as you want you can do up to 20 which is a lot of layers to be perfectly honest so you do kind of get a lot of keyboard in this package it's wireless it's got a decent battery it's got a ton of RGB it's got a ton of customizability as long as you're you know an IQ fan but it's expensive you know it's razor thin I will hand it to them there but you're paying 280 US dollars I think that if you want to buy your own keyboard and you don't need it to be a super low profile super thin super lightweight super like travel ready then I don't think that you should probably buy this that's a lot of money to be frank especially for something that you can't change the switches on if you find out you don't like these ultra low profile switches you can't really change the keycaps all that much more options might come out in the future but right now you're definitely not going to find quite as many Universal sets that just easily swap out I think though if you are in the Corsair family already and you do go from laptop to computer to maybe a console or you take it on the road with you then yeah this this could be the right the right choice I think the only real problem I have with it is that it's crazy thin it's good that they've got this K100 air but they need to make like a K100 air mini because like yeah it's thin but it's huge still right it's still a full keyboard plus media Keys plus a screen right here so if they could just like make not even a tkl but like a 60 with the exact same technology and the exact same chassis and all that honestly I would be a lot more enticed uh especially if they could cut like even 50 off the price point but you know what you really are paying quite a bit to get certain features that are pretty Rock Solid like IQ just kind of works so there you have it that's the K100 air Wireless from Corsair it's a pretty good keyboard it's travel ready but it is a little expensive so if that's for you pick it up if not uh you know I'll just completely ignore it"}
