Notice: We're proud to introduce our Test Bench 1.4 update, which adds a new Input Granularity Test to help you better compare keyboards with adjustable input settings, like those with Hall effect or optical analog switches. This update also revises how we classify keyboards based on their output type. You can read more about these changes in our changelog.

Our Verdict

Corsair K95 PLATINUM

Corsair K95 RGB PLATINUM XT

The Corsair K95 RGB PLATINUM XT is an upgraded version of the Corsair K95 PLATINUM. The two boards are very similar, but the XT comes with a plushier wrist rest, and it uses PBT keycaps instead of ABS keycaps like on the PLATINUM. The original PLATINUM has lower latency, so it may be a better option for fast-paced and competitive gaming. Both boards are available with Cherry MX Brown and Cherry MX Speed switches, but only the XT is available with Cherry MX Blue switches.
