Skiff 100 and Skiff 100 Plus: Membrane switches instead of mechanical switches
Corsair has deliberately opted for rubber-dome switches instead of mechanical switches in the Skiff series. This keeps the price down and ensures quieter typing, but it comes at the cost of the distinct tactile feedback that characterizes mechanical keyboards. Those who game in the living room or office should be able to live with this. If you’re looking for Rapid Trigger and adjustable actuation points, you’re in the wrong place anyway.
Both models come in full-size format with a numeric keypad; the German version has 105 keys. The polling rate is 1,000 Hz via USB 2.0 Type-A; the cable is rubber-coated and designed to prevent twisting. Corsair is conservative with anti-ghosting: 12KRO means that twelve selected keys are reliably detected simultaneously. This is sufficient for most games, but it’s not full N-key rollover.
The IP53 rating is practical. It keeps out dust and light water splashes, but doesn’t make the keyboard waterproof. So it’s likely to survive a spilled energy drink, but not a full bath. It also comes with a removable palm rest made of soft-touch rubber that snaps into place.
The only difference between the two keyboards: The Skiff 100 Plus features six programmable G-keys in a column to the left of the main keypad. For macros, Discord shortcuts, or in-game commands, these are worth the ten-euro premium—provided you actually use such keys.
The rotary dial is the real selling point
The rotary dial in the upper-right corner lets you adjust the volume, skip through tracks, pause, and mute. Until recently, such controls were a feature of significantly more expensive keyboards; now they’re making their way into the entry-level segment. On the Skiff 100, it’s combined with separate media controls.
The lighting is fairly straightforward, with ten RGB zones and customizable effects. Per-key lighting isn’t available in this price range, but the foundation for a color-coordinated setup is there.
Corsair Harpoon v2 Wireless: 80 Grams and Three Connection Options
The Harpoon v2 Wireless replaces the aging Harpoon RGB Wireless and features an asymmetrical, ergonomic design with a thumb rest. It’s clearly intended for right-handed users and designed for a palm or claw grip. At 80 grams, it’s not a lightweight by today’s esports mouse standards, but it’s a reasonable weight for a wireless mouse with this battery life.
Inside, it features Corsair’s Marksman 26K sensor with up to 26,000 DPI, a tracking speed of 650 IPS, and 50 G of acceleration. The polling rate is 1,000 Hz, whether used wirelessly or with a cable. The six programmable buttons can be freely assigned, and the main buttons are rated for 100 million clicks.
The most interesting figure on the spec sheet is the battery life: up to 140 hours via 2.4 GHz Slipstream Wireless and up to 210 hours via Bluetooth, in each case with RGB lighting disabled. If you leave the logo lighting on, the battery life will be correspondingly shorter. A third option is the USB-C cable, which charges the mouse simultaneously. An onboard profile saves the settings directly to the mouse, which is especially helpful when switching between multiple computers.
Setup Without Software Installation
All three devices can be set up via the Corsair Web Hub, a browser-based tool that requires no installation. You can configure button assignments, macros, and lighting directly in the browser. This is especially convenient on public or managed computers where you’re not allowed or don’t want to install software.
According to Corsair, full iCUE support won’t be available until the end of September. So anyone who wants to integrate the Skiff or Harpoon hardware into an existing iCUE ecosystem with fans, RAM, and case lighting will have to be patient for a little while longer. Another interesting feature for the keyboards is that they work with Xbox and PlayStation without any software; the mouse, however, is limited to PC and Mac.

Prices, Availability, and Classification
All three products have been available in black since July 28, 2026, both in the Corsair webstore and at authorized retailers. The German layouts have the part numbers CH-9226H65-DE (Skiff 100) and CH-9226I65-DE (Skiff 100 Plus); the mouse is listed under CH-9311110-WW. Corsair offers a two-year manufacturer’s warranty with worldwide support.
With this, Corsair is targeting precisely the segment that has seen a lot of activity recently. Logitech followed suit in June with its G3 series, centered around the G305 X Superlight and G316 X, though those models feature mechanical switches and come at a significantly higher price. Corsair takes a different approach, offering features such as a rotary dial, splash protection, and a palm rest at a membrane-switch price point.
Conclusion
The Corsair Skiff 100 and the Harpoon v2 Wireless aren’t products for enthusiasts, nor do they aim to be. They’re aimed at anyone who wants to put together a solid, RGB-backlit setup for under 70 euros per device that also works with a TV or console. The rotary control and IP53 protection are unusual in this price range; the membrane technology is the trade-off.
The Harpoon v2 Wireless feels more well-rounded than the keyboards. 26,000 DPI, three connection options, and 140 hours of battery life for 69.99 euros is a good deal, even if 80 grams is a bit much for demanding shooter gamers. Whether the Skiff 100 Plus is worth it compared to the Skiff 100 depends entirely on whether you actually use all six macro keys. If you don’t, you’ll save ten euros and get exactly the same device otherwise.
