Holy moly. I never knew there was so much to a friggin keyboard. I purchased this because I wanted a keyboard that I could use while lying down at night with the lights turned off. I don't want flashing lights. I want one color, one light. It took forever to figure it out. I wonder how you young people can stand all those changing lights and not get a headache.

I think thats the case with most things we see reviewed - we cant really tell how headsets or mice sound or feel either. I think if we find a reviewer who seems to know what they are talking about and give over the good and bads things, we have to make our own call at the end of the day, if we should buy it. I tend to try amazon a lot for this stuff, as you have a 30 day return no questions asked option.

Let's be honest here. ICUE is far from ideal software. Also, you wasted your time telling viewers how ICUE can read temperatures and so on (those functions aren't related to the product), but instead, you could have demonstrated how to make a macro, different profiles and so on.

I think iCUE is really good, I use it extensively and have for years, so its been interesting to see it improve and expand.

Out of the 7.. 8 K-series keyboards from Corsair I don't think a single one of them has had the at first white light, later RGB, last more than at the very best 2.5 years. Most started having dead LEDs, or dead colours, after about a year and a half. I liked the looks of them, but the QA is dreadful. Think I had free new replacement keyboards for some 5-6 years after the original K95 non-RGB purchase, due to the LEDs constantly dying. Might've been longer. I bought 2 or 3 of them, rest were replacements on top of replacements. Got money back from the original K95 non-RGB after the 3rd replacement, some 3 years later or so. Used that on buying the K95 RGB that had come out in the meantime. Replaced 3-4 of those as well, ended up with two of them. Eventually I was stupid enough to buy the K95 Platinum, might've been Black Friday or some such sale - after some ~2.5 years it started having failing/dead blue LEDs. That was my last one. Personally.. I'd recommend getting something else than Corsair keyboards. Though I suppose chances are that you keep getting new keyboards to replace your failing ones for, probably, years to come. Different computers, different USB ports, different homes. Before anyone blames that.
