Corsair Keyboard USB K95 Platinum XT MX-Blue RGB

I should state I'm a software developer and gamer, so I suppose I have a wide range of needs for my keyboard. On receipt, I was excited to try this keyboard out and I'm not disappointed.Firstly, I was worried about the various reports of the spacebar issue. It seems Corsair listened to the feedback, as it arrived with a spacebar that has stabilisers so I'm very happy. I also don't see the issue with the textured keys. The surface is, as I'd describe it, dimpled. In addition, out of the box, only the space and macro keys are textured, with additional replacement keys for typical gaming bindings you can swap out. So if you don't like their feel, simply don't fit them. They are perfectly comfortable for my fingers, so i don't really see the issue here.I opted for the speed keys and I must say I love the feel and travel. Due to my job I have a somewhat insensitive typing style (and maybe because I cut my programming teeth on a ZX81 :-P) , but find them very responsive and enjoyable to use.I was initially concerned that I was spending too much given I just needed a new keyboard due to my old one suddenly spitting out random characters. However, I'm very glad I did, and I am loving this keyboard. Looks good, feels great and responds beautifully.

Well very comfortable, nice feedback on click, nice travel, very good for programming can stay hours without pain on my wrists, good travelling, nice illumination, premium finish, solid keyboard, love the rgb, good package, love the keys texture.Hope you find this helpful.

As a keyboard aesthetically it looks good whatever build your going for. The software is hit and miss I have tried V3 and V4. That said the Silver switches are really quick to respond and are amazing for gaming.Also the ability to change out wasd keys for textured keys makes it easier tou find your way home to get more movement and frags.Expensive but would highly reccomend if you have the cash.

This is quite simply the best keyboard I have ever used, I spend circa 12-14+ hours per day using it between work (IT security) and pen testing, I originally ordered the speed switches however found that I miss the tactile feel and was making more typos due to the 1.2mm of travel before registering and replaced it with the blue switches, since then I’ve never looked back!One thing I did find was that the wrist rest is not nearly big enough for me and had to order an additional one.If you mostly game the speed switches are the ones to go for, other than that go for the blues!To sum it up, awesome!

I bought this keyboard to replace my Strafe. Not because it was old and worn but due the fact I was looking for macros. I do a lot of similar tasks and macros are a life saver. The reason why I would get this keyboard over another one is I don't like the software running constantly or that I am switching computers through a KVM.At first I was apprehensive as I saw reports of space keys being broken. I'd chalk that up to misuse.The palm rest is useless and flimsy. You won't use it.Nice metal design very premium.Keys aren't sunken so canned air can clean out the dust.The extra side keys for some reason I keep hitting. But this is more a me getting use to it. Don't like how they are beveled.One month in no sign of key shine.LEDs look good. Personally take or leave.5 onboard memory slots for macros and lights.There is even a cable run for a headset on the underside.What I don't like about it is the software. So unintuitive. Also when it's running the keyboard uses software profiles not hardware. So can be a pain to set up. There is limitations on the LEDs when in hardware mode so only one function can't stack or customise them. The only last thing is the keys are cherry blue. So I understand they have a click. But these have a hollower click than my Strafe. Also some of the keys have there label shortened. Instead of print scree. It's PSC . Or scroll lock is scl.Over all I love the keyboard. I love the sound the layout. But the price is hard to swallow.

Beautifully constructed. Keys have lovely feel, the illumination is incredible and all the usual benefits (and drawback of clicking noises!) from a mechanical keyboard. Media keys and USB passthrough have been more useful than I thought as they were nice to haves for me. Wrist rest is nice but would be better without the plastic edge and could be plumper. Very expensive but has a premium feel to go with it.

I love to type on this keyboard, and the RGB effect, epscially the light bar, is just amazing.Very solid keyboard, feels heavy. I dont really use the G1-G6 keys, unfortunately, so sometimes I will press those keys thinking i was using the left most keys, like ctrl or esc.

Feels very nice with thr solid structure. Keys are a pleasure to press. Lighting through ique works well.Wrist rest is a brilliant addition
