The ultimate question is always if the product is worth it.

That is a high price tag, whichever way you look at it. It doesn't work with Amazon Prime Video on Firefox, but I can live with that. It all just works perfectly, with the pause, play and skip buttons working across any dedicated media programs from VLC to WMP or Netflix. In addition to the functionality offered by the multiple pieces of software, the K95 Platinum XT also has inbuilt controls such as a mute button, an audio wheel and controls for whatever media you happen to be watching and listening to. Hell, you could record a whole block of text and assign it to the 'Z' key, because who uses that? What's impressive is just how much functionality you have, letting you record a macro and assign it to any single key. So what can you do? You can modify the RGB lighting with a large number of pre-built settings, as well as modifying the actions of each and every key on the keyboard. Five of them are built into the keyboard, allowing you to take your settings wherever you go.
K95 RGB PLATINUM REPLACEMENT LIGHT SOFTWARE
With Corsair's iCUE software you can modify six profiles in a number of ways. There is a slight issue that assigning something to these six keys can double up with Corsair's iCUE software, essentially making one key have two simultaneous actions.
K95 RGB PLATINUM REPLACEMENT LIGHT FULL
Do I imagine it replacing a full stream deck? Not from what I've seen of them and the myriad of functions. From what I could see in my little bit of use for the sake of this review, you can map whatever functions you want to the six stream keys. I don't stream so I can't actually speak as to how useful it is.

Of course, with such an expensive keyboard, you're going to expect more features, aren't you? I do have to say the cable is quite unwieldy and a bit of a pain to manoeuvre into position, but hardly the biggest of complaints. Of course with the brushed aluminium backplate and thick, firm plastic base and keys, you'll find the same level of durability throughout the K95 Platinum XT, including the thick non-detachable braided cabling that supports both the USB to power the keyboard as well as the one that supports the rear-based pass-through socket. One thing you can be certain of when you get a keyboard with Cherry MX switches is quality and durability. The Cherry MX Speed switches support this with a 50 million-plus activation tolerance. It offers a good shape and is very well placed to support the longest of typing and gaming sessions. Particularly when you factor in the new wrist-wrest, a full-length, reasonably-padded pleather rest. Simply put, using the keyboard is as much of a pleasure as looking at it. It's a great feeling when combined with the audible click of the Cherry MX Speed switches. The keys, having been made from a more durable and thicker PBT plastic has a nice textured feel to them, with them also feeling sturdy. Not only is the keyboard very nice to look at, but it's also extremely comfortable, durable and one of the best keyboards I've had the pleasure of using. This is very much thanks to the RGB which both offers a lovely backlight that highlights the keys brilliantly and also features strip along the top of the keyboard itself. From the exposed black, brushed aluminium backplate and the raised keys, the audio-roller and the wrist-rest, all of which are fantastically highlighted by the RGB, the keyboard is a genuinely beautiful piece. With the K95 Platinum XT, Corsair has somehow managed a fantastic mix of the simple and elegant with ostentatiousness. There's always a level of beauty to be found in simplicity and Corsair know this. Sleek and simple is something I've always appreciated, no matter what I'm looking at. Worth checking out is the precursor to this keyboard, the K95 RGB Platinum, which our own Usman reviewed around three years ago. What matters then is if the keyboard is worth the price tag. It's expensive, coming in at an RRP of £210/$200, you're going to feel the dent in your wallet. I'll start with the simple, the first way it fits into the category is the price. The Corsair K95 RGB Platinum XT certainly fits into the latter category.īut how does the Corsair K95 RGB Platinum XT - that's a mouthful, let's just call it the K95 Platinum XT from now on - fit into the latter category? That's precisely what I'm here to tell you about. Maybe you're paying for the name, possibly an exceptional build quality or simply an out-and-out great performance. Then you have the high-end, the expensive. You'll also find some in the middle where you're paying more, but you can feel and see the improvements. On occasion, you can find a cheap item that can seemingly last forever, despite it not being a premium brand or having all of the top-end components. There's always an interesting trade-off to be had when you look at cost vs quality.
