Title: Best of the best
Review: The quality of this keyboard is on another level. I mean, no one needs a keyboard this expensive but it’s genuinely the best mechanical keyboard I’ve ever used, and I’ve used hundreds over the years.In the box you get some extra key caps that are textured and convexed – they’re commonly used keys you use whilst gaming, and do genuinely help with with spatial awareness and hand placement. You also get a very nice wrist wrest in the box that neatly attaches with magnets.As for build quality, it’s imaculate. There’s not a single fault aesthetically and ergonomically. The multifunction dial in the corner is satisfying to turn and fondle and the mechanical elements are wonderfully tactile. The pressure you need to exert for a key press to be registered is a lot less than the majority of keyboards; it feels like a key needs only depress a few millimetres before a press is registered, which takes a little time to adjust to but is awesome in games once you do.I haven’t found much use for the programmable dial yet but I’m sure others users will. There a few default configurations set up like adjusting the RGB brightness and a useful alt-tab shortcut feature. You can program your own functions too. I would comment further but I’m yet to mess about with it as I haven’t had a need to do so.The programmable RGB effects are mindbogglingly vast and varied. Using software you can even layer multiple effects and can switch between multiple profiles at the touch of a button, located next to the dial at the top. They give me a bit of a headache so I have it set up fairly dimly with some keys brighter and a different colour. If you love RGBs you won’t find a better keyboard, ever.There’s only a few things that might be considered negative: that the key layout is slightly different and they’re smaller to the standard, and that the macro keys require third-party software to function. There’s only a slight difference in key cap placement but it’s just enough that there’s a learning curve. Typing felt very alien for the first few weeks and WASD movement was even more difficult; once my brain adjusted it was fine. In order to use the macro keys on the far left of the keyboard you are forced to have Stream Deck running, which is mildly irritating.It’s genuinely the best keyboard I’ve used – the Ferrari of keyboards. However if you aren’t that interested in the fancy features or hyper responsive keys you’d be better off buying one of those old school style industrial mechanical keyboards that are a fraction of the cost and use very similar switches.

Title: Simply the best keyboard out there. But pricey.
Review: A pleasure to type on, not noisy or over clicky but a lovely tactile firm feel.Build quality is top notch with classy expensive looks.I am a fan of low profile chiclet type keyboards and if you love the chiclet style and want a mechanical assured feel with top teir RGB features and full Corsair ICUE support with extensive options.Then this is the keyboard for you.Not only fanatastic for gaming but general office work is a joy on this keyboard too.I have tried many other top brand gaming keyboards both chiclet and normal and none come close in typing performance and of this keyboard or styling.Nothing beats corsair for its Icue software and its many many features and tunability.There is only one downside to this keyboard and that is obviously price, yes its very high.I purchased at an offer price and it was still very expensive and i was unsure if it was worth the money?.Now i have the keyboard it wont be going back.Yes its too expensive but IMHO it is the best keyboard you can buy

Title: So much Better than the K95 Platinum
Review: I was really on the edge about whether or not to buy this. A keyboard over £230 Is a lot. This was to replace my 3 year old K95 – nothing wrong with it.I chose the Optical switches as I had the Cherry speeds with the K95 – Now let me tell you why this board is betterThe keys are so much smoother than the k95 for a start and the optical switches feel like the Speed ones but – they have lubbed the spacebar and enter key making them so much better. The actuation on this is 1mm from 1.2 on the speed switches which is incredible and very noticeable – if you think you pressed a key by accident then it will definrtly register.The keys are slightly smaller and more professional looking than the K95 and the wrist rest is pretty nice very comfy.Media keys are the same, volume scroll wheel is nice and the usual querks are usefulRGB is nicer than the K95 because of the added bottom lighting but I preferred the top light bar on the K95 but that’s just me.The scroll wheel – I don’t know why Corsair did this but itis useless for now as iCue needs a serious update to incorporate this.Now is this keyboard worth the price? Well I would say no it is a great board and well improved over the K95 but they have added unnecessary things to justify the price 4000hz polling rate, The Axon processor, The Scroll Wheel I thing aroung the £180 mark would justify this but because I can sell my K95 I don’t mind paying this. You won’t regret this board

Review: I only changed the W,A,S,D keys to the textured ones for gaming. LED lights are great, sync with icue no problem, everything perfect for a keyboard of this price. I was impresses with the premium build quality, well recommended. This was the UK version QWERTY layout.

Review: I got this keyboard at extremely discounted price, but it is not even worth that.Especially since I thought it would replace my Razer Huntsman Elite.It doesn’t come even close to it in terms of quality.The keycaps feel cheap and light, so do the switches. It is a completely another universe when I compare these two.Also those G buttons on the side are so damn annoying for gaming, I ended up pulling them out.They interfered with my typing where my pinky finger expects and orients my typing by touching the edge of the keyboard (shift and control). I simply had to pull them out.Volume key is really smooth and nice.Multipurpose dial at the top right is useless for 99.9% of tasks you want to do.Lighting is OK.I still can’t get over how cheap keys feel.Keys space and 0 on a numeric keypad constantly get stuck at the armrest if it is at a higher angle (really small angle like if you put 1-2 mm cartboard below it, then it angles a bit and keys get stuck.

Review: Ich bin zwielgespalten, einer seits sieht die Tastatur sehr gut und wertig aus und die Tasen lösen sehr schnell aus was wiederum auch negativ ist weil wenn man dickere Finger hat kommt es vor das die neben Taste auch mal gedrückt wird.DAS schlimmste an der Tastatur , warum sie auch wieder zurück geht sind die Makrotasten ganz links an der Tastatur, was dafür sorgt das alles sich verschoben hat und man sich komplett an ein neues Overlay gewöhnen.
