The cord is tucked up under the cardboard in the back and then up under the keyboard there is a small box with the accessories and documentation and below that the wrist rest comes wrapped in its own plastic bag as well. Inside the box, the keyboard comes wrapped in plastic, ours being a sample from long before launch looks like the plastic was a little-used or wrinkled, but it protects the board from getting any rub marks before you open it up. There is also a small photo that shows the 6 G keys on the left side of the keyboard with a note about the Elgato stream deck software integration. Corsair lists off a few features and repeats them across four languages to take up most of the rest of the back. I think this could also be a little larger and better show which switch is inside.Īround on the back, there is another picture of the keyboard, basically, the same one that was on the front, not a different angle or anything. This being the US English version is on the bottom left corner with a sticker and then in the bottom right they highlight the iCue software support and they use a sticker to show that this specific sample comes with the genuine Cherry MX RGB Speed switches. I think they could have still gone a little larger, but it did leave room for the words Mechanical Gaming Keyboard to the right of it. The branding is in the top left corner and isn’t as large as they could have gone leaving the model name in the top right corner to be the biggest font on the front. The rest of the front has a black background which is interesting given Corsairs' love for yellow. The front has a large photo of the keyboard with the wrist rest on the cover along with having the RGB lighting on. Corsair went with a thicker box that the top pulls off. The box is no longer a black box with a slide-on cover with all of the artwork on it. So the packaging for the K95 RGB Platinum XT did change up some and I like the change. Product Name: Corsair K95 RGB Platinum XT While Corsair is at CES, I’ve been at home putting the new K95 RGB Platinum XT through its paces. They have also improved on the palm rest as well. The K95 RGB Platinum XT adds PBT doubleshot keycaps which really got my attention and Corsair has also integrated the macro keys in with cross-functionality with the Elgato Stream Deck software. But after the Platinum update, things have been quiet, until CES this year where they are showing off the latest edition. Their flagship model has continued to see the latest changes including being the first keyboard to receive the full CHERRY MX RGB switches in 2014. The K95 actually goes back to 2013, again at CES, where Corsair introduced the first changes to their original keyboard, the K90. Three years ago at CES Corsair introduced their K95 RGB Platinum as their latest and greatest mechanical keyboard and for three years now it has continued to be their flagship model.
