My Zero key on my numbpad started out great, but now died completely after two days of intermittent working. I am stressed out. My original K95 lasted forever, but this keyboard is now having every error I can think of. It will also just freeze in rgb lighting and use. The upgrades in feel are nice from the original, but i feel like I got a test copy instead of the realized release with all these issues.

Just not a good keyboard

For the price this keyboard is awful. Correction, overall this is a bad keyboard. The bottom is plastic not metal which really takes away from the the feel of the keyboard. The keycaps are also don't feel like high end double shot key caps.

Hi,
The K95 PLATINUM XT has an anodized aluminum frame. What bottom are you referring to? We'd be happy to help regarding any questions or concerns: support.corsair.com

Quiet keyboard with a fair bit of travel

Replaced my Razer keyboard after some keys stopped working (which was expensive!). This one is super quiet, which I wasn't expecting (I prefer the click noise) but getting used to it. This brown switch model was rated best for productivity+gaming vs. the MX speed which is rated best for gaming. The travel is a bit more than what I'm used to - would recommend to try it for yourself in the store before buying if possible. Love the RGB configurations - very cool.

Best Mainstream Mechanical Keyboard
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I've had this keyboard since February, and it is far and away my favorite keyboard I have every owned. My previous keyboards were both Razer BlackWidow Ultimates (one normal and one stealth). This keyboard has better key feel, less errors (haven't had any yet), and is more comfortable for gaming.
I've used it for coding, gaming, and typing, and the brown switching are perfect for each activity, giving you great actuation without the high level of noise of other mechanical switches.
I'm not sure if the other reviewers got a bad batch, but I can't recommend this keyboard enough.

Works Great When It Connects
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I’ve now owned two of these, with both exhibiting the same intermittent connection problem. While physically connected to my machine, the keyboard alternates between three states (only one of which is desirable):
1.) RGB lighting active with keyboard operational (Great!)
2.) RGB lighting active with keyboard not operational - (tried to use Demo-mode deactivation procedure for this, to no avail)
3.) RGB lighting inactive with keyboard not operational
I’ve tried several things, including: the demo mode procedure mentioned above, physically disconnecting and reconnecting the keyboard, changing position of the keyboard cable, and restarting the computer - all with only occasional success.
I would give this keyboard five stars if it worked consistently, but sadly that has not been the case.

Keys Fall Off Board
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I love this keyboard, but the keys fall off when I'm typing. It happens to the 3 key most often, but other keys have fallen off too. I returned this keyboard once because the keys were falling off. The replacement had the same problem. In fact, it came out of the sealed box with most of the keys not set into the keyboard. Had to press each key in to its spot. Once the keys were in, they all stayed put for around a month before the 3 started falling off, just like the first keyboard.
All other functions have been fine (all except the keys staying on the board).
