RGB is something that is pretty much taking over the DIY PC industry and is seeping into pretty much anything it can seep into. Build Quality and RGB!īefore we come to the actual performance of the keyboard, I wanted to get the RGB element out of the way. The key pick given by corsair is pretty handy when it comes to removing the default caps (apply a steady and firm upward pull once you have the pick in place to remove the caps). The spare key caps come in contoured and textured variants and will help you replace the “Q”,”W”,”E”,”A”,”S”,D” area to better form muscle memory during those intense gaming sessions and make it easier for your fingers to find the keys you want to press.

Cherry MX Brown mechanical switches for non clicky, tactile feedback.As always, we will start with the specifications of the K95 Platinum RGB (with Cherry MX Brown switches) Today, I will be reviewing this keyboard, which is one of the best mechanical offerings out there not just from the point of view of a gamer, but from the point of view of a person who loves chiclet, and whose primary job is writing. For the purposes of my test however, they will more than suffice. Unfortunately, Corsair was fresh out of the Cherry MX Speed switches, so I had to settle for the Cherry MX Brown switches, which are the same in terms of actuation and the non-clicky experience but have a bigger travel distance than the Speed variant. It looks like they didn’t want to take any chances, because they ended up sending me their top of the line K95 Platinum RGB flagship. I reached out to Corsair and asked them to send over any keyboard with that particular switch. Upon doing some research I settled for the (relatively) non-clicky, low travel distance Cherry MX Speed switches. I tried mechanical switches when they initially went mainstream a few years ago, but like most of my type, found the clicky-ness and massive travel distance very annoying.Ī few weeks ago, I was looking for a replacement keyboard and thought it might be time to give mechanical switches a try again.

This has partially to do with the fact that my primary work on a computer is basically typing away full throttle and the low travel distance and fast feel of laptop keyboards is something that makes me incredibly happy. I have been, for the longest time, part of the chiclet camp that love the feel of laptop keyboards. I am one such person, and I have a story to tell. Probably the only real evolutionary point of this essential input device has stemmed from the advent of the mechanical switches.Īs with any new technology, this change was met with a widespread difference of opinion, with mechanical switch lovers swearing by their keyboards and others keeping a safe distance from what they perceived was an annoying, clicky experience to their usual membrane/chiclet daily drivers. This has much to do with the fact that while other components have evolved over time and gotten progressively more powerful, the simple nature of a keyboard (and even the mouse) has stayed mostly constant. The keyboard has been for the longest time, one of the most overlooked pieces of computer equipment at the time of a build.
