    Premiere Gaming Keyboard for S-e-r-i-o-u-s Gamers

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The CORSAIR - Gaming K95 RGB PLATINUM XT Wired Mechanical CHERRY MX Speed RGB Silver Switch Keyboard with RGB Back Lighting is packed with top-of-the-line mechanics, an industrial-grade build, and a lighting scheme that provides virtually unlimited customization. Overall width has been trimmed from previous versions and a USB pass-thru has been added. Add the light bar at the top and you've got a premiere gaming keyboard for s-e-r-i-o-u-s gamers. Neither the price nor the software are for the feint-of-heart, and the keys may be a bit too responsive for dedicated, normal typing usage. For gamers, you cannot go wrong with this top-tier gaming keyboard

    Don't update the firmware on your keyboard.

    It has a chance to brick your keyboard. Theirs a way to fix it but it's not guaranteed to work and you have to contact corsair on their email to get the latest firmware sent to you in an email and they don't keep their firmware on their website and so it takes them 2-7 days for them to reply via email. Covid19 caused longer than usual delays do double that estimate basically.

    I'm usually a clicky-key sorta guy. I love blue switches! This keyboard may have converted me! The reaction time is incredible, and I'm an "old" gamer now. Everything about this keyboard is amazing/near perfect. The key feel, the replacement gaming keys, the lighting. The integration with Stream Deck is legit, it works incredibly well if you're into streaming. I also tested some macros with the side keys, which was also great. You can even program the timing between key presses for the macros which I haven't run into before. The whole keyboard has such amazing build quality and feel, but volume control wheel on the top right of the keyboard feels like something out of a recording studio. Its heavy, and feels extremely well made/solid. It's definitely the best keyboard I've ever used! If you need a keyboard that makes you feel better than you are at games, or you just want an ultra-premium keyboard, grab this one!

    Having used other mechanical gaming keyboards I was interested to see how this one would compare. It was simply one of the best I have used. First, it’s easy to set up and has great configuration options. Second, the keys are an excellent size and responsive. Finally the colors and configuration of those are really good. Highly recommend!

    Perfect gaming keyboard

    You can’t have a gaming rig without a quality keyboard. When I got my hands on my first gaming desktop, it came with an ordinary keyboard. I tried gaming on it for a while, but you really don’t get the full gaming experience with an ordinary keyboard. Well, a few gaming keyboards after that, and I have finally gotten my hands/fingers on the CORSAIR - Gaming K95 keyboard. Needless to say, with a company like Corsair, you really can’t go wrong. The K95 provides visual appeal with fast and precision function. The backlight keyboard display allows you to match colors with your gaming rig that are brilliant, and just look really cool. The light programming capabilities are almost endless. It’s very satisfying to have a keyboard do what you actually want it to do. Just looking at the keyboard is satisfying. The surrounding finish is elegant, and when you actually hold the K95, it really feels like a quality keyboard at a decent price. You get six programmable macro keys, and a comfortable wrist rest pad. The ultra fast response from the keys is perfect for any gamer. If you’re in the market for gaming keyboard, the CORSAIR - Gaming K95 is the one.

    Love the build quality of the keyboard. Come with WASD keys that are textured and curved for gaming use and the removal tool to safely remove the current keys. RGB transitions are nice and smooth with really good color vibrance. Palm rest is cushioned and not just a useless piece of plastic. iCue profiles work well on it too.

    I have tried a different model of corsair keyboard and I was satisfied, however I had the opportunity to try this one and I’m impressed but kind of disappointed at the same time. The keyboard is really responsive and it has really helpful features that make the experience better. It has this new pad where you place your wrists which is so comfortable, the keys are strong and have this system that reduce noise and make the gaming experience more immersive. What makes it kind of disappointing, is that the little plastic supports on the back/bottom are placed in the wrong way because with the movement of the keyboard, that little pieces go back in to their place, this doesn’t allow you to set the keyboard in a little higher position because it doesn’t stays still. Other than that I’m happy with this gaming keyboard

      Hi Danny,

      Sorry to hear about your experience. I suggest trying out key switches in person to see which is most suitable to your preference - Best Buy typically has multiple keyboards with different key switches on display for you to try out. If you need any help figuring out which keyboard is right for you, we'd be happy to help: support.corsair.com

    A solid mechanical keyboard

    In terms of aesthetics, it’s hard to beat the K95 Platinum. The fully programmable LEDs are fantastic, and the double-shot PBT keycaps feel great with the Cherry MX switches. Corsair gives you two sets of macro side keys depending on your preference, and curved caps for WASD and QWERASDF gaming configurations if you’re into that. The cap removal tool is what it is, nothing notable. The LED programming software is easy to use, and I like the volume control rollbar. The USB passthrough is also a nice thing to have. I’m not sure this is much of an upgrade over the original K95 Platinum. It does come with better keycaps, so that definitely increases the value, but if you already have this keyboard’s predecessor, I don’t think it’s worth buying to replace it.

    I have been using this keyboard for about a year now, and I have to say that I love it! It has had 0 issues, and I will definitely buy this keyboard if this ends up failing on me. The switches are amazing and very fast. The wrist rest is sufficient, although I prefer the softer side. The macros are great, but a little weird to program at first. In my opinion, it's 100% worth the money!

    The best keyboard I ever owned

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I am not a gamer but purchased this keyboard for general use. My office is a little on the dark side and I wanted a lighted keyboard. This one not only has lights but colors that can be assigned down to the individual keys. There is a little learning curve to set up the keyboard so maybe they should provide some default setups so you don't have to go through this learning to use it. It is more expensive then your average keyboard but I feel it will last longer. Once you get use to the keys you won't want to go back to other keyboards.
