    This is simply a fantastic keyboard. It is absolutely stacked with features without trying to be more than a keyboard. The weight feel and sound are chefs smooch. Absolutely love it. Wish it was cheaper but wouldn’t want to compromise any of the quality or features. This is the one to get.

    Would have loved this keyboard however with no iCUE support yet and latest firmware update keeps crashing my PC. I’m going to have to give this keyboard a 2 star. And the fact when I use the Web Hub I have to turn off my iCUE software is another turn off. Hoping once Corsair gets the kinks out it’ll be a great keyboard. Till then I had to return it.

    As of 3/3/2026, I cannot recommend this keyboard. It doesn't work with iCUE and uses this terrible web hub that NEEDS to use Edge or Chrome browser. Besides that, when I would turn on my PC and needed to put my pin/password, I had to disconnect and reconnect the keyboard just to get it to work. This was every single time I turned on my PC.

    I love the keyboard, best I’ve ever had. No complaints so far. Easy to manage in the Web Hub and the customization options are pretty impressive. A little on the pricier side, but it’s worth it especially if you use other Corsair products. Highly recommend.

    This keyboard exceeded my expectations. Coming from custom keyboards, I picked it up because its one of the few keyboards with a numpad and hall effect keys. I typically do not like corsair, but is pleasantly surprised about this. Stabilizers are not rattly and the web based software for this is enough to punch in some quick settings.

    Key presses feel amazing, the keyboard just works, iCUE support is coming soon, but the web interface works fine for now. If key placement is important for you, note that they compressed things into unique positions to get the 96% layout on a smaller board. I've adapted and happy with the overall performance.

    I LOVE this keyboard. I do wish that it was wireless but it’s amazing non the less. Also is not yet supported by icue software but eventually they said they plan to. It uses a web browser to update and stuff currently.

    It's hard to describe how great this keyboard feels. The best adjective I can think of is smooth. Everything feels very well polished.
