The Corsair SKIFF 100 PLUS is a wired, full-size keyboard that sits at the entry-level end of Corsair's gaming lineup. It uses membrane switches rather than mechanical ones. It comes with a detachable wrist rest, a rotary dial for media and volume, and six dedicated G-keys for macros and shortcuts, a feature the cheaper, non-Plus Corsair SKIFF 100 leaves out. You can set up lighting, macros, and other settings through Corsair's lightweight, browser-based Web Hub. As of September 2026, support for the fuller iCUE software isn't available for this keyboard.
Our Verdict
The Corsair SKIFF 100 PLUS is a great gaming keyboard. Its performance is very good for both single-key and multi-key latency. The rubber dome switches don't feel as crisp as mechanical switches under rapid, repeated presses, and the lack of true N-key rollover could matter in games that require many simultaneous inputs. For casual and mid-level competitive play in most genres, though, it holds up very well.
Very good single-key and multi-key latency.
Six dedicated macro keys.
Bright, clear key legends for low-light work.
Rubber dome switches feel less consistent under fast, repeated presses.
No true N-key rollover.
Wired-only; no Bluetooth or multi-device pairing.
Web Hub software only supports a single onboard profile.
The Corsair SKIFF 100 PLUS is an okay office keyboard. It's easy to get up to speed thanks to the standard layout and is quiet enough for office or shared-space use. It falls short of a dedicated office keyboard in a few ways: it's wired-only with no Bluetooth or multi-device pairing, and the typing quality is only decent.
Very quiet typing, well-suited to shared offices.
Bright, clear key legends for low-light work.
Rubber dome switches feel less consistent under fast, repeated presses.
Wired-only; no Bluetooth or multi-device pairing.
Web Hub software only supports a single onboard profile.
The Corsair SKIFF 100 PLUS is a wired-only keyboard, so it isn't compatible with phones or tablets at all.
The Corsair SKIFF 100 PLUS is decent for programming. The quiet switches and clear, bright backlighting make this an easy keyboard to work on, whether you're coding in a dark room or a shared space. The G-keys are handy for snippets or repeated commands once you've set them up. The build quality is only satisfactory, and the typing can feel somewhat mushy especially compared to a mechanical keyboard.
Six dedicated macro keys.
Very quiet typing, well-suited to shared offices.
Bright, clear key legends for low-light work.
Rubber dome switches feel less consistent under fast, repeated presses.
Wired-only; no Bluetooth or multi-device pairing.

The Corsair SKIFF 100 PLUS is bad for a home theater PC setup. It's a wired-only keyboard, so you'll need to be very close to your device. Like most full-size keyboards, this one takes up a lot of surface area and isn't easy to use from a couch. Its media controls live behind an Fn-modified rotary dial rather than dedicated media keys, which isn't ideal. The backlighting is solid and makes it easy to use in low light.
Bright, clear key legends for low-light work.
Wired-only; no Bluetooth or multi-device pairing.
Large footprint isn't well-suited to lap or couch use.
No dedicated media keys; track skip and play/pause both need an Fn shortcut.
While it's not up to the standard set by enthusiast boards, the Corsair SKIFF 100 PLUS delivers very good raw performance. Single-key and multi-key latency are both quite good, and the 4-key chord split performance is excellent. The main ceiling here is data transmission: this keyboard doesn't support true N-key rollover, so it can fall behind in scenarios with many simultaneous key presses, even though its raw response times are good enough.
Very good single-key and multi-key latency.
No true N-key rollover.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
Corsair currently sells the SKIFF 100 PLUS in a single color, black. Here's our unit's label. If you come across any other variants of this keyboard, let us know in the comments, and we'll update this review.
Corsair also sells a non-Plus SKIFF 100 built on the same platform. The only functional difference is the six G-keys: the standard SKIFF 100 doesn't have them.
Popular Keyboard Comparisons
The Corsair SKIFF 100 PLUS sits below Corsair's mechanical K55 and K70 families, positioned as the brand's entry point. It's a decent all-rounder for anyone who wants a full-size, budget-friendly keyboard without mechanical switches. Its latency numbers hold up well, and the six dedicated macro keys are a nice addition for people who might benefit from the added flexibility. That said, there are some trade-offs to contend with. The switches aren't hot-swappable or upgradeable, real-world key rollover falls short of Corsair's rated spec, and the membrane switches don't provide as much tactility as their mechanical counterparts.
While its price point is decidedly in the entry-level segment, models like the Keychron J2 are similarly priced and offer a more well-rounded package overall. It performs slightly better for gaming and includes hot-swappable mechanical switches, wireless connectivity, and a more polished software experience. Alternatively, the Corsair K70 CORE outperforms the SKIFF 100 PLUS across most metrics while costing only slightly more. While it's a decent overall package with no glaring issues, the Corsair SKIFF 100 doesn't quite do enough to stand out unless you find it on sale. It is, however, a safe, good-performing board that should satisfy most users in this category.

The SteelSeries Apex 3 and the Corsair SKIFF 100 PLUS are both full-size gaming keyboards with rubber dome switches, but the Corsair is slightly better overall. It's slightly quieter to type on, has lower latency, and offers six dedicated macro keys. Its IP53 rating is also a step up from the Apex 3's IP32 for better protection against dust and moisture.
The Corsair K70 CORE and the SKIFF 100 PLUS are both full-size gaming keyboards from Corsair. The K70 CORE uses mechanical switches, with noticeably faster latency, more tactile feedback when typing, and full N-key rollover. The SKIFF 100 PLUS, on the other hand, delivers a noticeably quieter typing experience, a certified IP53 spill rating, and six dedicated macro keys, which the K70 CORE doesn't have at all.
The Ducky OK-M and the SKIFF 100 PLUS are built for different priorities. The OK-M is a compact 75% board with hot-swappable mechanical switches and tri-mode wireless support, none of which the SKIFF 100 PLUS offers. The SKIFF 100 PLUS is a gaming keyboard that is the better fit if you want a full-size layout with a number pad, dedicated macro keys, and a much quieter typing experience. It also delivers a more consistent latency performance.
The Keychron J2 and the Corsair SKIFF 100 PLUS are budget keyboards, but the J2 is the stronger performer almost across the board. It's a wireless, hot-swappable mechanical keyboard with PBT keycaps, true N-key rollover, and lower latency, and it also scores better for build quality, typing quality, and wireless versatility. The SKIFF 100 PLUS answers back with six dedicated macro keys, a quieter typing experience compared to the switches we tested on our Keychron unit, and a full-size layout with a numpad the compact J2 skips entirely.
