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
The Corsair K95 RGB Platinum is the most inclusive mechanical keyboard we have ever seen from them. The feature set is just jam packed with LED options, profiles, a slick new Macro editor that is much easier to use, and on a basic level, the styling is o...
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...
Time to present our findings. The 22 keyboards that we tested come down to two price ranges. The “affordable” segment, which are the keyboards with an average price up to £150 and the high-end models, which start from £150. Interestingly, we find 11 keybo...

Corsair has brought an impressive flagship model to the already successful K series with their new K95 Platinum. It is priced to compete against the new BlackWidow Chroma V2 from Razer, but we have to conclude that Corsair definitely has the better cards...

This keyboard features the Cherry MX RGB Speed switches. These switches have actuation of 1.2mm as compared to average 2mm actuation point of other switches. This would enable the user to type more in less time with less stress and fatigue. Keys are place...
