The editors didn't like
So far
Price (For Some)
6 Macro Keys Instead Of 18 (Unlike The Previous K95 Models)
CUE Software Design
Pricey
Only six dedicated macro keys
A few counterintuitive layout choices
Extremely expensive
Still an enormous keyboard
Blocky typeface used on each key
Expensive
No audio jack
No onthefly macro recording
Not a lot of bells and whistles
Premium price tag
CUE user experience has improved tremendously
But can still be challenging to new users
Rare macro-execution errors prevent a flawless launch
Keycaps need to be better for a $200 product
Cherry “Speed” switches bottom out easily
Hard to adjust
CUE software a little overly complicated
Lack of switch options (need it in Cherry Blues)
Braided
Attached cord is very thick and not very flexible
High price
Not available in all Cherry MX flavors
$199 is a lot to spend on a keyboard
Font is a bit ugly
CUE software is still not great
No Audio Passthrough
Price
Expensive at $200
But not unreasonably so for its features. Relatively short twoyear warranty when offbrand boards offer three to five years

I've used the K95 RGB Platinum since early January. In that time, I've reviewed half a dozen other RGB keyboards but always return to this one. Why? Even without the PBT set, it's one of the best looking, fully featured gaming keyboards on the market toda...

Solid design, no flex at all, 6 dedicated “G” keys, Great RGB backligting, Corsair CUE software is one of the better out there, Extra USB port, Large wrist rest
Not available in all Cherry MX flavors, $199 is a lot to spend on a keyboard
So I've been using the Corsair K95 RGB Platinum for the past month. The biggest thing for me was getting used to it. I primarily use keyboards with Cherry MX Blue switches so moving to the new Speed switches was a little different. While they are very muc...
Slimmed down from the old K90, Cherry MX Speed switches are as fast as Corsair claims, Top-tier RGB lighting
Extremely expensive, Still an enormous keyboard, Blocky typeface used on each key
Regardless, the K95 RGB Platinum is a beautiful keyboard with excellent switches, top-tier lighting, and what I still consider the industry standard for media keys. Seriously: A volume roller is indispensable now that I've used one. So much more convenien...
Every time I set out to write a Corsair keyboard review, I know I'm going to be working with a high-quality product. That quality usually comes with quite the hefty price tag attached. The question, then, is whether the features of the keyboard are worth...
High build quality (Aluminum top plate), Minimalist and elegant design philosophy, Various RGB lightning options, Complex macro capability, Excellent typing and gaming capability
No onthefly macro recording, Not a lot of bells and whistles, Premium price tag
At the end of the write-up I would like to say that this is a very solid entry into the high end keyboard market and while it does not feature a lot of bells and whistles, it more than makes up for it in terms of build quality and elegance. It is currentl...
