I bought one of these and found that it could only display 512 colours. A firmware update was promised, which was released about 6 months later. The advertised 16.8million animation wasn't quite achieved with the update, you can choose from 16.8million colours, but animation results in a certain amount of flickering. That wasn't what I expected from a £150 keyboard, and I didn't expect a couple of LED failures either.

Got a refund and bought a Coolermaster Trigger Z just before they stopped production for £70. It may not have RGB keys, but all of the white LEDs still work after 12 months of use.

This isn't the RGB K95, this one has white LED backlighting.

Oh yes.

Don't these also have an issue with fairly common LED failure ?

Define "fairly common", I'll report back with the stats tomorrow for you, will be interesting to see if they match up.

We'll be like scientists

Fairly common.

Something that repeatedly happens. In this case, it appears that there are many reports of LEDs having failed on these keyboards. I was considering buying one a couple of years ago, but after reading a lot of user reviews it seemed that LED failure was "fairly common".

These are the stats. If there is any increase as these are flying out, I'll post an update.

Very happy with the 2 we picked up. Nice look and feel, definitely improved our performance in Overwatch too! Still getting used to typing on it as I find my left pinky used to rest on the edge of my old keyboard but now there are the extra G keys there so my reference point is a bit off now, I'm sure I just need to use it more though

nik and others: how does this compare to the Mionix ZIBAL Mechanical Gaming Keyboard MX Black that i purchased on an offer? i did purchase a corsair raptor k50 and wasn't overly enamored by it, are these a lot better?

Are those stats based on sales during this offer or over a longer period of time ?

That's over the course of this month since I set up the SKU last month. I'll be keeping an eye on things and will post updates

K50's are much more entry level. The K95 is Corsairs top keyboard SKU in terms of features. Only way to get better than these are the RGB versions. Not that they improve performance, just prettiness

Is the k65 rgb rapidfire worth the £30 extra over the k65 rgb? Is it just faster or were there any other improvements?

TALON1973 · 14 Aug 2016 at 17:36

Your not the cheapest on the k95 .... so not so crazy

Artery · 14 Aug 2016 at 17:38

silent · 14 Aug 2016 at 21:40
