原文： Love this keyboard. Build quality is fantastic, while there were some issues in initial setup, the keyboard has functioned perfectly.
BUILD QUALITY
The build quality on this keyboard is fantastic. The metal casing on the keyboard looks and feels incredibly durable. The buttons,
volume roller, and other non-key hardware all feel very solid. The wrist rest is very solid with a reversible magnetic pad. It doesn't do much in the way of comfort but it keeps your hands in place. One side is easier to slide across, the other side gives you lots of traction if you need it. The only complaint about the build quality is the plastic pieces that attach the wrist rest to the rest of the keyboard seem a little flimsy but they snap into place, don't move, and have no exposure so I don't see any issues happening with them. The keycaps themselves feel a little flimsy though this is probably because they're made to be as light as possible. I previously used a Das Ultimate S and a G910, both having heavier keycaps but these are significantly easier to press even than the G910 which was bragged about having the fastest key presses. In terms of looks the keycaps feel a bit flimsy but in terms of functionality this is probably beneficial.
The USB cable is a massive heavily braided tank of a cable (sadly not detachable) at around a quarter inch thick. I doubt there will be any issues with it. The USB passthrough port is unfortunately USB 2.0 and there is only one port. It's not a huge deal but the Das I used to use had two ports which came in handy if you use a gamepad or other peripherals for gaming and need to swap on the fly. Not a huge complaint but a second port and USB 3.0 would be nice.
MX SPEED SWITCHES
The MX Speed (silver) switches are definitely not for everyone. To make a comparison, they feel like an MX Brown with half the actuation distance and less pressure needed. If anyone has used Logitech's G Romer switches then they are like that but with the actual tactile feel of MX Browns. Great for gaming but not as good for typing as other MX switches. They're fantastic as I'm getting used to them but I would still rather have MX Browns if I'm going to write a research paper. It's also worth knowing that the MX speeds are significantly quieter than the MX browns.
LIGHTING
The LED lighting on the keyboard is absolutely wonderful having a brightness range between flashy light show and subtle ambient lighting. The individual LEDs don't overflow into each other and the light bar across the top of the keyboard keeps very smooth lighting zones so running effects across it appears smooth as if it's just one continuous LED light across the entire keyboard. My only complaint about the lighting is that the media keys, the profile switching key, mute, brightness, and windows lock keys are significantly darker than the other keys though it's not a big deal, they just have a different visible color range.
SOFTWARE AND SETUP
The new Corsair Utility Engine 2.0 (CUE) gives a surprising amount of freedom to customize the keyboard. Please note that I have not used the previous version of the software. At first glance it feels intimidating with settings everywhere even before you click the "advanced" switch. However, Corsair has plenty of video tutorials available and if you mess around with the software it's easy to figure out how everything works. There are weird quirks with plugging in the keyboard on some motherboards. I use an MSI X99 Pro Carbon Edition and actually can only get firmware updates for theK95 to work when it's plugged into USB 2.0 ports. Once it's updated I can use 3.0 ports just fine but if you can't seem to get updates to work, try a different set of USB ports. That was the only issue I had with setup.
The CUE software allows you to set an unlimited number of keyboard profiles on your computer, lets you store three more on the keyboard itself, and also allows you to export profiles as a file. CUE only lets you link a profile to one application but it only takes two clicks to make a copy of a profile to link to another application.
I haven't messed with macros much yet but everything I have done is easy to use. Macros record perfectly, there is an option to insert a timed break between every action and to enable or disable keyboard events, mouse clicks, scrolling, or mouse movement, all on an individual basis. There are also options for remapping any keys on the board, customizing media controls, application launching, timers, key disabling, or even profile switching (more on that later).
The lighting effects is definitely the most intimidating part of using CUE but also one of the most rewarding. The software includes a series of pre-made effects such as rainbow transitions, keypress ripples, etc. There is an option to use as many of these as you want at the same time and they can be used on individual LEDs. The fun begins once you click the advanced switch. Advanced mode lets you set custom lighting effects with their own timing, size, activation conditions, color transition gradients, brightness, activation on certain keys pressed, etc. The advanced mode takes a while to learn but it is incredibly customizable.
To give an example of what it's capable of, I play Final Fantasy XIV. In about an hour I put together a setup that assigns every one of my class's abilities to an individual hotkey. I then set up a base lighting effect with a slow ripple in the class's colors that slowly radiates outward across the entire board so it looks like a completely seamless transition. Then I set each of the ability hotkeys to activate its own individual lighting effect to go across the lightbar at the top of the board. These effects are color and timing matched to the abilities in the game. I then set up a like profile for each of the classes I use in the game. Lastly, I set up the keyboard to only swap between the profiles I use for FFXIV while in the game but also used a macro setup to simultaneously switch between the different keyboard profiles for each class while inputting a command in the game to switch to each of the matching classes so a single keypress switches over all of my key customizations, lighting effects, and class in the game after an hour of learning and fiddling with the keyboard. That's just after day 1 of having the thing.
All in all an absolutely fantastic keyboard combining the simplicity and hardware quality of a great dedicated typing keyboard while having the customization and functionality of a flashy gaming keyboard.

喜欢这个键盘。设计和质量都不错，虽然在初始设置中有一些问题，但键盘功能非常完善。
制造质量
这款键盘的制造质量非常棒。键盘上的金属外壳看上去感觉非常耐用。按钮，卷辊，和其他非关键硬件都感觉非常牢固。手腕托是非常坚实的磁性垫。它在舒适方面没有多大作用，但它使你的手保持在适当的位置。一方更容易跨越，另一边给你很多牵引力。唯一要抱怨的是，把塑料片固定在键盘的其余部分上，看起来有点脆弱，但它们却固定在一起，不动，也没有接触，所以我看不出有什么问题发生。键帽本身有点脆弱，虽然这可能是因为它们要尽可能的轻。我以前用的同类产品，都具有较重的键帽，但这款键盘拥有速度最快的按键。在外观方面键帽感觉有点单薄但在功能方面可能是有用的。
USB电缆线是一个巨大的编织电缆（可悲的是不可拆）四分之一英寸厚度。我怀疑会有问题。USB端口是USB 2.0的，只有一个端口。这不是一个很好的设计，但我用DAS有两口，都派上了用场，如果你使用一个手柄或其他外设进行游戏，需要换上。虽然不是一个大的抱怨，但有第二个USB 3.0的端口就好了。
MX Speed开关
MX Speed（银色）开关绝对不适合所有人。 为了进行比较，他们觉得MX Brown具有一半的启动距离和更少的压力。 如果有任何人使用罗技的G Romer开关，那么就是这一样的功能，但是具有MX Browns的真实触觉。 非常适合游戏，但不像其它MX开关那样打字。 他们太棒了，因为我习惯了他们，但如果我要写一篇研究论文，我仍然会喜欢MX Browns。 另外值得一提的是，MX速度明显比MX brown更安静。
灯光
键盘上的LED照明灯光是绝佳的设计，具有闪光灯光和微妙环境照明之间的亮度范围。 单个LED不会彼此溢出，并且穿过键盘顶部的灯条保持非常平滑的照明区域，因此在其运行上的效果似乎很平滑，就像整个键盘上只有一个连续的LED灯一样。 我唯一关于照明的抱怨是媒体键，配置文件切换键，静音，亮度和Windows锁定键都明显比其它键更暗，尽管它不是一件大事，但是它们只具有不同的可见颜色范围。
软件和设置
新的海盗船实用工具2.0（CUE）可以自由的定制键盘。请注意，我没有使用以前版本的软件。乍一看，即使在您点击“高级”开关之前，也会感觉到设置无处不在。然而，海盗船有很多视频教程可供使用，如果你弄乱了软件设置，很容易弄清楚并恢复之前的设置。在某些主板上插入键盘有奇怪的现象。我使用MSI X99 Pro Carbon Edition，实际上只有当K95插入USB 2.0端口时，才可以获得K95的固件更新。一旦更新，我可以使用USB 3.0端口，但如果你无法获得更新的工作，请尝试一组不同的USB端口。这是我唯一安装的问题。
CUE软件允许您在计算机上设置无限数量的键盘配置文件，让您可以在键盘本身上另存三个，还可以将配置文件导出为文件。 CUE仅允许您将配置文件链接到一个应用程序，但只需要两次单击即可将配置文件的副本链接到另一个应用程序。
我还没有设置过宏，但是我所做的一切都很容易使用。宏记录完美，可以选择在每个动作之间插入一个定时中断器，并且可以单独启用或禁用键盘事件，鼠标点击，滚动或鼠标移动。还可以重新选择映射板上的任何键，自定义媒体控件，启动应用程序，定时器，禁用键，甚至配置文件切换（稍后再说）。
灯光照明效果绝对是使用CUE设置最恐怖的部分，也是最有价值的一个。该软件包括一系列预先制作的效果，例如彩虹转换，按键波纹等。可以选择同时使用尽可能多的这些效果，并可将其用于各个LED。点击高级开关后，开始设置。高级模式让您可以根据自己的时间，大小，激活条件，颜色转换梯度，亮度，某些按键上的激活等来设置自定义照明效果。高级模式需要一段时间才能学习，但它是可定制的。
为了举一个例子，我玩最终幻想XIV。大约花费一个小时，我可以将把我角色上每一个技能分配给一个单独的热键。然后，我建立了一个基本的照明效果，在类的颜色中缓慢的波动，缓慢地向外散射整个地方，使其看起来像一个完全无缝的过渡。然后我设置每个功能热键激活自己的单独照明效果，以穿过板顶部的灯条。这些效果是与游戏中的技能相匹配的颜色和时间。然后，我为游戏中使用的每个类别设置了一个类似的配置文件。最后，我配置键盘只能在玩FFXIV游戏才能应用的配置文件之间进行交换，但也可以使用宏设置来同时在每个类别的不同键盘配置文件之间切换，同时在游戏中输入命令切换到每个匹配技能，使得单键按键在使用键盘学习一小时后，切换到了所有的关键自定义，照明效果和游戏中的技能。那就是要花费第一天的事情。
以上所有这一切都说明这是一个绝妙的键盘，给这款键盘做了一个简单的硬件质量和使用体验的点评，同时这款键盘具有一个华丽的游戏键盘的定制功能。
