konrad_ Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hi. So, except additional keys, what K95 Platinum is better at than K70 LUX RGB? What is there about K95 worth paying extra? Does it have updated LED controller like K70 LUX? What about STRAFE RGB keyboards? What are significant differences between them and K70 LUX RGB ones, except no separate media keys?

Corsair Employee Corsair Henry Posted March 22, 2017 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 22, 2017 There are many features that the K95 Platinum have that makes it worth the extra dollar, compared to the K70 LUX. Yes it does have an updated controller like the LUX 1. Hardware playback 2. Removable wrist rest, dual sided 3. 6 additional G keys 4. Channel for headphone cable routing underneath As for the STRAFE, internally they are the same as the LUX keyboards with a few differences. Plastic Chassis vs aluminun Dedicated media keys Different wrist rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konrad_ Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Thanks for the answer. 1. What is it? Could you explain more? 2. The one in K70 isn't removable? STRAFEs are the plastic ones, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair Henry Posted March 22, 2017 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 22, 2017 They both have removable wrist rest, but STRAFE's is a hard plastic version vs K70 LUX which much more comfortable ( Soft touch). STRAFE has plastic chassis with no dedicated media keys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konrad_ Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 It was the question in the context of differences between K70 and K95. But I just read that wrist rest in K70 is also detachable. I have one more question about K95. Here http://www.corsair.com/en-eu/k95-rgb-platinum-mechanical-gaming-keyboard-cherry-mx-brown-black-na it is said "Cherry MX Brown — Black" in the title. So is it Brown or Black?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair Henry Posted March 22, 2017 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 22, 2017 Cherry MX brown switches, but with black anodized chassis We also have a gunmetal chassis version, but that one only comes with Cherry MX speed switches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alotharian Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 The K95 Platinum has some nice features over the K70 LUX, however there is one big disadvantage for me at least. It is not available with EU keyboard layout. I cannot understand that limitation. Now I am before buying a mechanical keyboard, and I aim at one with Cherry Brown sw. I could afford to buy the K95 Pt. but I prefer the EU layout. the ND or UK would be inconvenient for me. So, Corsair forces me to buy the K70 LUX. It's a pity.

konrad_ Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 Yeah, it kinda sucks, but eventually I bought K95 Platinum anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterMac Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 K95 Platinum still with no Cherry MX Silent switches :shootme: Corsair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halko Proude Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 1. What is it? Could you explain more? Hardware playback is the ability to save lighting/macro profiles into the keyboard's on-board memory and use it without the CUE software. If you're going to take the keyboard with you somewhere and use it on another computer, you can take your favorite RGB/macro profiles with you and not have to install CUE. The K95 platinum has enough memory to store up to 3 profiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
