Test: Einzeltest: Corsair Vengeance K95 Fully Mechanical Keyboard
Zitat: MSreco_highend
The K95 keyboard was built on the solid platform the K90 had but with some important and eye-candy additions like fully mechanical layout which integrates MX Red switches from Cherry or key-by-key customizable backlighting. The 18 programmable G-keys can help us create an insane number of macros and the brushed aluminum chassis reinforces the whole platform. The keyboard also comes with anti-ghosting capabilities along with 20-key rollover and if we feel that it’s necessary, we can always install the wrist rest for additional comfort. The volume controller is much more precise than the function keys we have found on other keyboards and retains the same shape as the one on their headsets. Corsair have chosen to go again with MX Red switches as many other gaming peripheral manufacturers, considering that these are both good for gaming and typing; it would be nice though to see more variety in the future regarding MX switch choices like blues, blacks or the newer released greens. Thanks to the design of the build, the keyboard is very easy to clean, even underside the key caps; many times we have found that blowing compressed air from the side is more than enough. Also, we have found very handy the BIOS switch located near the USB port, which allows the keyboard to be initialized properly when starting up the PC and entering the BIOS won’t be an issue anymore. On the K90, the BIOS was initializing the keyboard a bit later after the boot sequence so it was impossible for us to fire it up unless we installed a secondary keyboard on PS/2 or USB which supported this function. The Corsair K95 keyboard is not the cheapest mechanical offering out there and can be picked up online for about 154 Euros. Even at this price, we consider that it should worth it considering the high quality material build which should last us for years to come.
