Product Information

The other custom buttons include brightness control, on-the-fly profile switching, and a Windows lock key.

Custom moulded from patented smoked/clear polycarbonate, our push-fit covers fit like a glove and can take any punishment thrown at them. It has a nice wheel to control volume, and a dedicated Windows lock key to make sure your game doesn't accidentally minimize when playing. And since the streaming functions are tied to the Stream Deck software, switching between video streaming and standard macros is as easy as quitting the app.This means the keyboard can accommodate virtually any color you can see including the different hues. As I said, I can’t find a long list of supported games using the iCue software or RGB capabilities of the Corsair mechanical keyboard. The K95 RGB Platinum is an LED-backlit keyboard that is capable of cycling through a vast array of colors. If you're not a fan of them, the keycaps are easily replaceable thanks to the Cherry switches having broad compatibility with aftermarket models. The K95 RGB Platinum XT is the best version of the product series so far and it is one of the best gaming keyboards on the market.

At its core, the K95 RGB Platinum shares relatively the same shape, design and aluminum build as its predecessor, but there are key differences. The combination of macros, lighting, and media controls offer what is easily one of the most comprehensive packages for gaming keyboards.The Corsair K95 RGB Platinum XT Mechanical Gaming Keyboard immerses your desktop in dynamic RGB lighting with per-key illumination Precision-molded 104/105-key PBT double-shot keycap set 100 million keystroke- Cherry MX Speed RGB Silver key switches and an anodized aluminum frame offer extraordinary build quality Six dedicated macro keys establish an in-game advantage with the added benefit of Elgato Stream Deck software integration A detachable cushioned leatherette palm rest offers plush comfort while dedicated multimedia keys an aluminum volume roller and a USB pass-through port put convenient control within reach Powerful iCUE software gives you control over your lighting macros key remaps and more Boasting 100% anti-ghosting with N-key rollover and onboard storage for five profiles the K95 RGB Platinum XT lets you play with a full deck. Secondly, the reversible rubber wrist rest of the previous iteration has now been replaced with a padded leatherette palm rest. Even though it feels a little less special with only six macro keys, no other keyboard matches it with a classy all metal build quality, handy shortcut buttons or disco lighting. First, the K95 will shift from whatever color you have set to red with 1, 2, 3, 4 and Q lit as white (the most common keys in Diablo 3).

The Logitech features Romer-G tactile switches, while the Corsair has Cherry MX Speed linear switches, which have a shorter pre-travel distance. Additionally, there are various guides to answer frequently asked questions about mechanical keyboards. It takes a brave company to look at a product as universally lauded as the K95 RGB and decide that it needs improving, and some very good decisions have been made with the K95 Platinum, improving everywhere without ever diminishing the overall excellence of the main product. The most obvious change here is the fact that the Corsair K95 RGB Platinum is much narrower, thanks to the number of macro keys being reduced to just six. The refurbished warranty is our way of demonstrating that we are completely happy with the spec of that product and judge it entirely fit for purpose.You also get USB passthrough so you can connect an additional USB device directly into the keyboard. PCMag is obsessed with culture and tech, offering smart, spirited coverage of the products and innovations that shape our connected lives and the digital trends that keep us talking. My main complaint is that, rather than strong magnets,it attaches via long plastic clips under the keyboard, which feel like they could snap off after years of use if you aren’t careful.
