Corsair K95 PLATINUM

The Corsair K95 PLATINUM is an excellent gaming keyboard. It feels responsive thanks to the very short pre-travel, and the keys are light to press on in order to register. The build quality is great; it offers dedicated macro keys and is also fully RGB-lit, which is great for playing in the dark.
