These are all great things but the same could be said of the original K95 RGB Platinum. If you already own the original and don’t care about streaming,the nicer keycaps or the wrist rest, there is little reason to upgrade. But if you’re shopping for the first time, the XT is the best version of the board and one of the best gaming keyboards on the market today.
