Corsair K 100 RGB Mountain Everest Max Summary The Corsair K 100 RGB is unarguably the best keyboard the American manufacturer has ever made. We are enthusiastic about the choice of PBT keycaps, the comfortable wrist rest and the new rotary knob, which fortunately does not replace the characteristic volume wheel. We find the self-developed OPX switch from Corsair less. The light, fast touch will certainly appeal to a certain group of users, but with MX Speeds as the only alternative, the K 100 RGB actually not an option for anyone who sometimes does something other than gaming. We find the additional cost of 100 euro for the iCUE Nexus accessory to be excessively high.

Summary We are impressed by the Mountain Everest, which combines gaming features with features for fans of mechanical keyboards. In addition to the modular construction, you can, for example, choose from many types of switches and you can purchase complete custom keycapsets. As far as we are concerned, the option for pbt keycaps also falls under this, although it is a pity that you do not get it as standard with the Everest Max we tested. This version is also richly equipped, including a screen and a numpad with LCD macro keys.

Two brands said they announced the ultimate gaming keyboard. Corsair launched its new flagship K 100 RGB and newcomer Mountain launched its Everest Max keyboard. Both keyboards should yield approximately 250. We investigated the added value of such an astronomically priced gaming keyboard and of course which is the best.

Corsairs absolute top model Perhaps you had not quite seen this titanic battle coming. To start with Corsair: this American manufacturer needs little introduction these days. When they hear that name, hardly anyone thinks about the DRAM modules with which it started. Corsair has been supplying mainly mechanical keyboards for almost a decade now, but with the K 100 RGB, the brand transcends for the first time the model numbers with double digits. This new top model is therefore explicitly not positioned as the successor to the K 95, but far above it.

Bold Entrance of Mountain Mountain is a relatively new name. The company was founded in July 2018 by former employees of a once leading SSD manufacturer, so knowledge of the hardware market is in every case present. In March of this year, Mountain put his Everest keyboard on Kickstarter and within a month the target amount was reached, after which it took until now for the first orders to be delivered. Its modularity is one of Everest’s most distinctive features. Tap the barebone without switches, keycaps, numpad and screen the headline for 129 euro, but the complete version as we have tested it costs almost double.

What is the Best Ultimate Gaming Keyboard? The result consists of two brand new, very expensive keyboards that should specifically appeal to the target audience of gamers. On the coming pages we will take a closer look at both and of course you will find our extensive test results, in order to finally be able to answer the question which ultimate keyboard makes a gamers heart beat the fastest.
