either your mouse is plugged in here
or a USB thumb drive, but not both.
It’s a wasted opportunity as just one
more port would go a long way into
making what is an already great
keyboard even better.
Another thing I noticed is that in
as much as the LED lighting has
been improved, around the edges of
the keyboard where the light strip
is situated, the LEDs aren’t able to
pull off a simple configuration such
as setting all LEDs to white. If you
try to make this light bar a single
colour, you’ll get some blue, green
and some other colours coming
through, and this is especially true
for the corners and sides. A pure
white is simply not possible. I’m
unsure as to what causes this, but
it if you notice this on your brand
new $200 keyboard, it could sully
the experience a little. Every other
colour configuration works though.
Other than these two things,
there’s nothing else that I’d find
objectionable on the K95 Platinum.
As I said before, every feature
presented here you could point to
on another keyboard. The issue,
however, is that they just don’t come
together with this much attention to
detail, build quality and of course
software support. It is this specific
combination that makes the price tag
plausible. This keyboard is without
a doubt the premium model that
would likely be used on an ultra-
high-end PC or notebook. As such,
one has to appreciate the approach
that CORSAIR has taken. The K95
Platinum isn’t selling RGB features,
as advanced as they have become.
It’s selling an entire experience, at
