Product Information

USB Passthrough: USB passthrough is a lifesaver if you have something you like to plug in without wanting to reach for your PC.

Thanks in no small part to the USB passthrough, the K95's USB connection is about as thick as a sharpie marker. profile storage with hardware macro and lighting playback enable profile access independent of external software. There are a few processes I wish were easier to find, such as updating the firmware, but those are minor gripes.They’re made with two separate layers of plastic --translucent white underneath to let the RGB lighting shine through and black over the top-- which aside from making them feel more premium and durable, should help them resist staining and wear.

Pressing the keys feels results in a fast and responsive actuation, as the best mechanical switches do, and it's particularly useful for fast-paced gaming such as in first-person shooters.

I recently purchased a K95 RGB Platinum XT and a Logitech G703 for my upcoming PC build (waiting on that 3080. Like the original, the K95 RGB Platinum XT is a superb, top-of-the-line keyboard for gamers who are willing to spend a lot to get a lot.

Meanwhile, a reversible and magnetic rubber pad offers a smooth micro-finish on one side and a rougher texture on the other.The Lighting Effects interface now works on a layers system, although hardware profiles have less options and can only have one effect active at a time. As you probably would have guessed, the Corsair K95 RGB Platinum XT is a reworking of the Corsair K95 RGB Platinum. Between that and some other neat features of the Stream Deck hardware, such as LCD buttons that you can customize with images and GIFs, I'd say that the K95 XT's software-based Stream Deck support is a great help for new players looking to experiment with pro tools or veteran players seeking a few extra streaming keys, but doesn't quite achieve parity with the actual Elgato hardware (or another discrete video mixer). Corsair also has a vibrant community of RGB fanatics who upload their favorite lighting schemes for everyone to enjoy, and is one of the cooler features of the K95.
