I have to say this is probably the best looking keyboard I've seen. I've got a Corsair K95 myself but I see lots of improvements made with the new K100.

Love all the new features but they forgot to built-in the iCUE NEXUS touch screen and that wheel is so hideous, it ruins the simplistic flow of the board.

Yes, the wheel is junk ...and they forgot another great built in feature ( my current KB has ) - "waterproof"

+1 on the waterproofing if it isn't already.

I have the Strafe RGB Mk.2 keyboard with the silent key switches. 
 
Love Corsair keyboards, but the reason I never got the K95 was because their versions all had the audible click. I find it extremely annoying. Hopefully they included silent switches as an option in this launch.

Corsair missed the mark with that keyboard. The wheel looks like something you see on a $70 off brand keyboard. Not a big fan of padded palm rest. The $230 price tag it needs a built in ICUE Nexus.
 
Wonder how long until Bestbuy and Walmart will have the K100 on display to allow us to test out OPX Switches in person.

Im in the market to buy a new keyboard but that wheel killed this as an option.
