Corsair Skiff 100 review: A surprisingly competent cheap gaming keyboard
Corsair’s Skiff 100 is a wired gaming keyboard with a budget price tag — but is it actually good value?
The Corsair Skiff 100 is a budget-friendly gaming keyboard that sticks to the basics, delivering where it counts. It boasts a smart and understated appearance, enhanced by bright RGB backlighting. Despite lacking a sophisticated metal frame, the Skiff's build quality impresses, with plastic that doesn't feel cheap. The unit is surprisingly light, making it easy to move around.
The Skiff 100 comes with a detachable palm rest, which is a welcome addition at this price point. The soft rubber material, however, attracts dust and debris, necessitating frequent cleaning. You can connect the Skiff 100 to Corsair's Web Hub app or iCUE for customization. While there are limited performance-related options, this is expected at this price point.
The Skiff 100's membrane switches are quiet, snappy, and responsive, offering a gratifying typing experience. Its keycaps have a low profile and prominent indentations, providing comfort and preventing typos. At just $59.99 / £49.99 (about AU$85), the Skiff 100 offers great value for a wired gaming keyboard from an established brand.
