Corsair K100 RGB

For £230 I'd want something that's not hideous. There are so many nice looking keyboards and some hot-swappable too with no bloatware. Why would anyone spend money on this...

The K100 RGB still occupies two USB 3.0 Type-A ports on the host PC via a split 6ft braided cable, and the passthrough port on the keyboard itself remains rooted to the older USB 2.0 standard. Corsair tells us that in order to meet faster USB 3.2 requirements, the connecting cable would need to be noticeably thicker, less flexible and shorter in length. The firm's internal feedback from consumers suggests that these negatives would outweigh the benefits, but we're curious to hear your thoughts; would you prefer a USB 3.2 port on the keyboard at the expense of a shorter, thicker cable?

USB 3.2 while nice, isn't really a must have. What I don't get is this, my keyboard (Razer) uses a similar system and also only has USB 2.0 passthrough, yet my monitor has a similar length and thickness cable and allows the use of 4 USB 3.0. So if my monitor supports USB 3.0 (aka a HUB), why does the keyboard passthrough not do the same as well?

Seems like they're too lazy to actually add a USB hub into the keyboard itself, instead deflecting about cable thickness and length.
