The fanciest keyboard I've ever used is $80 off this Black Friday

The Corsair K100 Air is, quite simply, the fanciest keyboard I've ever used. I reviewed it last autumn, and the only thing that left a bigger impression on me than the quality was the discombobulating price. But this Black Friday, the latter has been fixed (somewhat) with a cool $80 off the sticker price, now down to $199.99 rather than the hyperventilation-inducing $279.99 it's been at.

As my review details, this is a deluxe mechanical gaming keyboard with ultra low-profile Cherry MX switches, so ticks every box: for mech keyboard fans, people who don't like tall clacky keys, creatives who want to customise every function key to within an inch of its life (thanks to the brilliant iCUE software), people who love RGB lighting (because there are dozens of settings options), and people who hate RGB lighting (because you can switch it off).
