Reviews around color (4.66 of 5)

  • Learning the software needed just to make it stay a solid color was more complicated than just pressing a button, but it can do anything you want it to just about.
  • So many choices and designs to choose from, and beautiful colors
  • I thought it was going to be more brighter and it wouldn't feel that premium, but I was wrong, it is just a beautiful color, and I would pick this one over the black one any day of the week
  • I love the ability to customize the led colors and how it animates.
  • This board is so aesthetically nice to look at with its premium vibrant colors

Reviews around feel (4.47 of 5)

  • So I started looking for something with a solid, tactile feel that would require deliberate keystrokes to actuate the keys, and this keyboard delivers
  • Spectacular keyboard, i love the tactile feel of the keys and the nice solid construction, but my one complaint is that the keys are maybe a little TOO sensitive for my liking, I keep accidentally pressing too hard while my hand is at rest
  • The feel of the keyboard alone is amazing besides the mechanical switches
  • The F and J "home keys" are a little hard to find by feel, so I am experimenting with changing those keys to some with a tactile surface
  • If you won't use macros don't get the k95.This keyboard has an absolute amazing feel with the brown switches

Reviews around quality (4.20 of 5)

  • The build quality is amazing, and the keyboard is made out of aircraft grade aluminum so it is very light
  • Nothing loose, nothing rattling, the whole thing screams quality with its brushed metal body and hefty weight (a good thing...slides around less easily).
  • Not to mention, the quality of the keyboard itself is just proper and solid
  • Still, this is quite frustrating paying a premium price for such poor quality control.
  • but I expected high quality from Corsair and this hugely disappointed me and kind of ruined my happy mood.

Reviews around type (4.19 of 5)

  • Inaccurate typing is penalized
  • Amazing keyboard, vibrant LED switches, feels amazing to type and game on
  • If you are looking for a keyboard for just fast typing, this probably isn't it
  • The only downside here is that while it's a perfect gaming keyboard you probably aren't going to enjoy typing too much on
  • This keyboard is good because it feels good while typing, and the RGB is beautiful, but the MX speed keys are WAY too sensitive.

Reviews around response (3.95 of 5)

  • Also it didn't come plastic wrapped and was missing the a s w d extra keys
  • If you're gaming that fast response might be what you want, but lower pad keyboards are faster (for typing) at least for me (at about 60 words a minute)
  • I prefer the tactile response of the cherry brown switches.
  • Also it didn't come plastic wrapped and was missing the a s w d extra keys
  • Exceptional detail, amazing response times, incredibly comfortable gaming keyboard

Reviews around rgb (3.91 of 5)

  • And the K95 Platinum from Corsair is really the Only one to consider when looking for the Top-Notch Mechanical RGB keyboard.
  • RGB looks great and really improves keyboard utility in low light.
  • The RGB on this keyboard, although the light strip on the top is nice, does not shine as well as the Logitech G Pro
  • The RGB on this keyboard, although the light strip on the top is nice, does not shine as well as the Logitech G Pro

Reviews around design (3.91 of 5)

  • Works as designed; however, as a touch typist, the keystrokes are large and overly tactile.
  • Also it didn't come plastic wrapped and was missing the a s w d extra keys
  • I HATE these unnecessary G KEYS ON THE
  • this model is very similar and shares all of the positive design features: solidity, style, suitability for daily (gaming) use
  • Great metal design and software (after a bit of a learning curve) works well

Reviews around switch (3.63 of 5)

  • I had always used the cheaper membrane switch keyboards, no backlight, plastic housing
  • Impressive keyboard and the Cherry Brown switches are incredibly smooth.
  • I think the MX Brown switches are amazing to type on and not too loud
  • Each switch is covered in an enameled plastic housing, so no worries about damaging PCB or worrying about failure.
  • Has beautiful lighting, good switches and outstanding build quality

Reviews around gaming (3.63 of 5)

  • Yes, this great gaming keyboard will be primarily used to spice up my working from home, and finally type on a quality keyboard
  • no sliding around in the middle of some intense gaming (I get into it)the metal body laying lower than any other keyboard I've seen makes this a breeze to maintain (plus allows for the RGB to come thru so much more)the dual sided wrist rest is a real nice touch, the USB pass thru, and that volume control....mmmm hmmm.just one little gripe I have, is the clips for the wrist rest to attach to the Board seem a little flimsy compared to the rest of the construction.(but that just may be me).
  • The only downside here is that while it's a perfect gaming keyboard you probably aren't going to enjoy typing too much on
  • If it weren't a great Gaming keyboard it would be a superior everyday keyboard
  • The keys are responsive and the lighting brings life to my otherwise dead gaming rig

Reviews around light (3.44 of 5)

  • It took me a long time to figure out when using the static lighting you had to first select all the keys
  • The blue light of my X key is already burning out and dim compared to neighboring key and causes discoloring of anything that uses the blue light
  • Has beautiful lighting, good switches and outstanding build quality
  • Fantastic, sturdy keyboard with awesome lighting system
  • I love how I can change the color to a solid color for productivity, and brighten or dim the lights depending on the ambient lighting.

Reviews around thing (2.07 of 5)

  • $200 for a keyboard, and the corsair program (that has to be running to use the stupid thing) constantly crashes
  • I have the MX Speed and this thing is a nightmare to type on.
  • The only thing is that the CUE and the profiles could work a bit easier and better.
  • Another thing, the Macro keys sometimes don't work properly but after a computer restart they work.
  • The only thing I get for my birthday and it doesn't work in the slightest

Reviews around noise (1.29 of 5)

  • I felt like that frame wasn't sit properly and was rubbing against the textured volume wheel and making a terrible noise and would even stop it from rolling
  • The noise of a keyboard might not seem like a huge deal to most people but if you play online games or sit within 10 feet of anyone it matters
  • The keyboard is beautiful and I get giddy just watching rainbows shoot across it (I downloaded a reactive rainbow ripple profile someone created).My main concern was key noise as I was changing from a membrane keyboard to a mechanical switch keyboard
  • No matter - speed or brown switches, the keyboard makes that annoying noise
  • If you don't like the slight clicking noise, then research and don't get the cherry type whatever comes with this keyboard
