SeekerCorsair K95 RGB PLATINUM XT
The Corsair K95 RGB PLATINUM XT is amazing for gaming. The doubleshot PBT keycaps are good and feel stable, and overall the keyboard has an excellent build quality. There are six dedicated programmable macro keys on the left side, and the RGB backlighting is amazing for gaming in the dark. The tactile keys might feel a bit too heavy for gamers, but luckily, it has extremely low click latency.

Corsair’s excellent flagship mechanical gets better keycaps, a comfy wrist rest and support for Elgato’s Stream Deck software. The upgrades are welcome and the hardware is great, making the primary drawback the $200 / £210 MSRP.
