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 RBG Platinum really is the Rolls Royce of gaming keyboards both in its styling and its $199 (£179, AU$349) price tag. Even though it feels a little less special with only six macro keys, no other keyboard matches it with a classy all metal...

Corsair bills the K95 RGB Platinum as its ultimate mechanical gaming keyboard, and it's easy to see why. There's very little it doesn't have – audio pass-through and an upgrade to USB 3.0 for the pass-through USB port are the only real things we can think...
