Mine's just under 1 year old and like perplex above, I've found mine to be good h/ware wise but awful software wise.

 

It can hang, freezing the RGB cycling, making me look like a noooooooooooob

 

Some of the earlier CUE (Corsair Utility Engine) updates didn't update at all ...however that was early on in the piece and things seems much improved now.

Was wondering if the K95 RGB LEDs were fixed yet. Has anyone has owned one for a while now and had none go out on them? I really wanted this keyboard but now I'm hesitating due to reports of LED's failing rather quickly. Thanks for any feedback!

I've had one since close to launch, though I did have to replace it a few months ago due to a drink being spilled on it while I was away (LAN party).  I've never ever had a single LED issue as far as them going out.  The only issues were early on with the software but at this point I'm confident in saying it's good and reliable and not nearly the resource hog it used to be.

I had my K95 keyboard (non RGB) with many leds failing, so I requested an RMA and will ship it back for a replace

Seems I spoke too soon earlier in this thread.

 

My vv key often does a double character and the 9 key on my numlock will either not work or do 2 also.

 

It's 1 year old now.  It's a cool looking keyboard but that's about it. For the money it's junk. 

The software sucks ass. Though it's improvved much.
