Customer Ratings & Reviews

The keyboard is very responsive and has amazing color customization. The only issue is the led backlighting is not as bright as the razer or logitech products so if you have them next to the keyboard you will noticed a large difference.

Overall no complaints. Very modern and customizable and simply feels right.

The key pad is easy to use and the buttons are easy to clean. The lights are such a nice feature and easy to control.

Comfortable, highly customizable, and very responsive. This is definitely a product that shows its worth

takes very little force to get the key stroke to register. Love the usb pass-through. Great keyboard all in all

Nice design and options the icue software has many options. It does take up 2 usb slots but has a hub in keyboard

Love this keyvboard. Feeling of a mechanical keyboard without the loud noises

I bought this keyboard for one of my gaming PC’s and it is absolutely amazing!! Makes everything so much easier.

Wow what a wonderful keyboard. Nice and heavy and great build quality. Great response time.

This keyboard is amazing for those who love RGB! The lights are nice and bright and love the strip in the back!

Love this key board. Easy to use would recommend

I'll preface this review by stating that I understand that this XT version is just a small revision on the already existent K95 Platinum keyboard that's been out for some time now. From my understanding, the only real changes with this version is the key caps are made of a different material and the wrist rest is softer and squishier. If you have a K95 already, you probably don't need to upgrade but maybe the wrist rest and feel of the new key cap material would be enough to make you want to "upgrade". That said, I really like this keyboard a lot! I'm coming from a Logitech G910. I really like these keys a lot more than the Logitech keys. The Cherry MX silver switches are very nice. The speed version that requires less to actually press is pretty nice but I'm not fully used to it yet so I'm sure it'll only get better as I get used to the amount of force I need to use to press the keys. But I think that says a lot about it already. Even without being used to the new keys I still like the feel of them and I don't seem to be having any issues typing already. The big "thing" about this keyboard will appeal mostly to streamers (but you really don't need to be a streamer to get some good use out of it). The usual G-keys on the left side of the keyboard now interact with Elgato's StreamDeck software to do a myriad of things to streamline your streaming setup or (with a little extra tinkering) control things like home automation or anything on IFTTT. I'd argue that the StreamDeck support is even more useful for people who already own a StreamDeck since you'll already be familiar with the software and you can just extend your current StreamDeck with another row of buttons. I'm a little disappointed that Corsair didn't opt to doing a little more to redesign this keyboard to maybe support the actual screen keys like the real StreamDeck has. This kind of thing would have put this keyboard in a league of it's own instead of being just a slight upgrade over the older version with a software update to add StreamDeck support (you actually also get StreamDeck support in the original K95 as well). One thing that the StreamDeck offers that's very important to me is the feedback on the keys. Changing the look of the key when it's active or not is a huge selling point for me. Being able to see the status of my microphone or system audio at a glance is super important. I wasn't able to find a way to use the RGB of the keyboard to offer this support yet, but maybe this is something that could come in the future via an update. The thing the StreamDeck software offers in lieu of having the actual images appear on the keys is offering an optional overlay that shows off what each key is set as. If you have a second monitor, it can squeeze in to a corner somewhere so you can still see the keys at a glance and use the keyboard to activate them. Obviously, you're able to turn this off as well. The actual keyboard does feel pretty good build-wise. The keyboard looks very clean. There aren't 100 extra keys on the top row or anything. Just a few buttons for controlling profiles, brightness and "gaming lock", as well as a mute button and a scroll wheel for volume. It all looks very clean, though. There are also media keys for stop, skip back and forward play/pause above the numpad. As stated earlier, the keys feel nice and I like the activation on the switches. This will be a preference thing but I also know this keyboard comes in other variants aside from the Cherry silver speed switches that I have. So if you prefer blue or brown switches, I think those are the other variants offered on this keyboard. The wrist rest feels really nice to me. It's at a good level and feels very soft on my wrists when I type. I'm a big fan coming from a hard plastic wrist rest. Top notch build quality for me, here. The RGB is pretty fun to play with. I'm a big fan of the control the iCue software gives you over things and how many things you can poll off with it if you know what you're doing. Each key is illuminated pretty well and the software literally gives you control over the lighting of each individual key if you want to go that far. There are a ton of presets that get you started pretty quickly and the fact that you can stack effects on top of each other make things very, very versatile. The keyboard also has a light bar on the top that kind of shines behind the keyboard as well so that adds a little more to the cool color effects you can pull off. Definitely recommend playing around with the iCue software and just put a bunch of things together to get the effects you want on your keyboard. Combine this with profiles that can change your lighting depending on game or with the press of a button and the possibilities are quite immense. All in all, I've tried a few keyboards over the years and have always gravitated back to my G910. I think this is going to be the keyboard that finally gets me to move on and I'm really OK with that. The StreamDeck integration is going to be great to give me 6 more keys to add to my existing StreamDeck so I can just do more fun stuff on stream without a lot of effort. If you're a streamer and are in the market for a new higher end gaming keyboard, I think this is the keyboard for you. If you aren't a streamer, I still think this keyboard deserves a look. The StreamDeck software can do so much more than stream related stuff and everything else about this keyboard really makes it. If it's in your budget, I would definitely recommend giving this one a shot.

Keys are very sensitive and not too clicky. However, late nite keyboarding is not allowed at my house anymore. I need to use a quieter keyboard. I want to keep the same color backlights - specific keys keep changing color

Worth the money, love it. Easy install, basically plug and play. Has different lighting options.

I hate having to turn the light on at night to use a computer key board!! NOT ANYMORE WITH THIS BAD BOY!!

Great key responsiveness and overall feel. LEDs look nice. Definitely a upgrade over my k55

Very nice gaming keyboard! Great deal for the price. Back lighting works great! Thanks Best Buy!

love this product, just got to figure how to make it stop the blinking light at the start up of my pc

Great keyboard. I had a white k70 previously and this looks way cleaner. Media keys are neat too

Great keyboard although the keys are a bit sensitive.
