The editors didn't like
Expensive
Complicated Setup
Since our preferred driver is the K70 RGB MK.2 Low Profile keyboard with MX Speed switches
We felt right at home with the K95 RGB PLATINUM XT so no extra training period was necessary. MX Speed is great for competitive gaming titles since it can deliver
Expensive at MSRP
Aftermarket keycap-set compatibility is still low
Price (For Some)
Only 4 Changes / Upgrades
Pricey
At $199 USD
Requires two USB ports (but tries to make up for it with a USB 2.0 port on the keyboard itself)
Not an enormous upgrade over the previous K95 Platinum
Complicated software
So. Damn. Expensive
Most "upgrades" probably aren't worth it to the average user
PBT keycaps aren't as backlight-friendly as the old ABS
No real reason to upgrade to this keyboard if you already have the K95 RGB Platinum

With the new K95 RGB PLATINUM XT keyboard CORSAIR has checked literally every box I can think of, creating as close to a perfect, out-of-the-box mechanical keyboard as I've experienced. The choice in CHERRY MX key switches, double-shot PBT keycaps, USB pa...

corsair_k95_platinumxt_21.jpgAs much as I want to praise the K95 Platinum XT, there's no getting around the elephant in the room – its price. $199 MSRP is pretty steep, and it's hard to justify spending what amounts to a decent mid-range graphics card for...

Well with testing out of the way and having taken a look at the new K95 RGB Platinum XT. Beyond knowing the name is too long after typing it so many times, I have learned a few things about Corsairs' latest flagship keyboard. For starters, most of it...
The K95 Platinum XT, as might be gleaned from its name, is a refinement of the famous K95 Platinum, rather than a wholesale revolution. Indeed it is the type of product where those of you who already own a K95 Platinum won't be left rueing your purchase...
The K95 XT is an expensive keyboard — but it's no more expensive than its predecessor, and a bit better in some measurable ways. The wrist rest is a big step up, the keycaps are smoother, and the Elgato shortcuts could simplify things considerably for str...

If you don't mind the price, you'll be more than happy with the K95 RGB PLATINUM XT. The market for mechanical keyboards is becoming more crowded, but this Corsair product has some features that might make you want to choose it over the competition. That...

No real reason to upgrade to this keyboard if you already have the K95 RGB Platinum
I've been using the K95 RGB Platinum XT for the past couple of weeks and at first I had to get used to using a full-size keyboard again. I've been hooked on tenkeyless keyboards so moving back to a full-size keyboard was a little weird, but if there was a...

The Corsair K95 RGB Platinum XT promises to be an improvement over the popular non-XT version with an updated wrist rest, PBT keycaps, and really everything you would ever want in a keyboard. Does it try to be something it is not like our argumentative fr...
