by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 02/07/2017 10:05 AM [

The Corsair Gaming K95 RGB PLATINUM keyboard has been designed with RTS and FPS gaming in mind and is available in etail and retail. In fact it has been in the stores for roughly a month now. For € 199,- / $199,- this peripheral has a lot to offer for the hardcore gamer. The keyboard is advanced with Cherry MX Agile interchangeable keys for rapid fire, full-key rollover, Windows key lock, a contoured wrist rest as well as support for a 1ms report rate and more.

Corsair is offering two versions, the anodized black and a gunmetal one where basically the top aluminum plate has a distinct color change. Then there is one more choice you can make, you can choose between Cherry MX Speed and Cherry MX Brown switches.

Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro SL 3600 MHz 32GB review
Today, we are checking the Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro SL 3600 MHz CL18 (pretty average latency figure) memory in a 32 GB set consisting of two 16 GB modules. This is not the first time we’re looking at the Corsair RAM. It was for example the Vengeance RGB Pro (4x8 GB 3200MHz) or Dominator Platinum (4x8 GB 3600 MHz CL16). Ok, but what’s different comparing the above mentioned Vengeance RGB Pro series?

Corsair K70 RGB TKL keyboard review
The Corsair K70 RGB TKL comes from a range of keyboards that we already presented here on guru3d. We reviewed the K70 RGB Rapidfire Mk2, which comes also in a low-profile version. So, the first major difference this time is the tenkeyless format. Other than that, this keyboard has not changed much as far as the general concept is concerned. It is, of course, still an RGB mechanical keyboard, but this time it comes in a smaller package.
