Just checking in -- any plans to roll a tactile version of this keyboard? I am never switching to linear.

Compared to browns, these switches are way, WAY too sensitive. Even just readjusting in my chair, the OPX switches were activating. I couldn't tolerate it. This is why this keyboard needs a tactile variant--then it's a day-1 instabuy, just like I tried the existing K100 on day one of its release.

Having seen them in person, the keycaps on the K100 look ten times more professional than anything on the K95, K70, etc., and the caps feel amazing (thank you for NOT doing that stupid diamond-plate pattern). I can understand how detachable cables are great but this keyboard actually seems to require USB 3.0 (iCUE wouldn't recognize it properly on USB 2.0 ports) and the cable is THICC (like, coax cable thick). If it were removable it'd be a thicc-*** boi of a USB-C cable which would be kinda silly. I like the idea but if it's removable the cable would need to be rethought entirely. The Gothic typeface on the K70 looks like a rejected design from Star Trek or Battlestar--the K100 looks ten, maybe 20x better than even the K95. I don't want a keyboard to look like cheap garbage and even the deck on the K100 is better than what's come before. K100 is a major improvement. We all know that "PSC" means Print Screen, when the key is located where the Print Screen button goes so come on. You can replace the caps in any case--hell, you could get a set of the K95 or K70 caps and put them on the K100 no problem. So that's not something that needs to get fixed on Corsair's end at least in the short term. Literally the only thing I would change, and which I can't really work around, is the switches. I don't need them to be Cherry browns, but I do need it to be a brown-like, fairly quiet tactile switch because my fingers rest way too heavy on the keyboard for linear switches. I love blues but I can't do blues (or other loud, clicky switches) because I need to use it when I'm on conference calls; clicky keys FEEL great but are annoying as hell on a conference call. If they were silent and clicky, then that might be interesting. Looking forward to seeing what Corsair has in mind for an OPX tactile switch!

Hi Albert! I love the all the features, the design, the build quality including the PBT caps... This would have been the perfect keyboard for me, I couldn't be more impressed, but after trying it for a day, I just can't live with linear switches of any kind. I hope Corsair releases a version with brown switches and I'll buy it day one. Meanwhile unfortunately I need to return this OPX one.
