Corsair vs cooler master keyboards

[OnionRings]

Whats your honest opinion on the 2 companies? I wanted to get the k95 platinum but ive been seeing alot of cm keyboard ads on videos. Are they any good?

Best way is probably to test them yourself, especially if you're thinking of mechanical

One company can't just be better than another. Get a keyboard with the features you want (switches, RGB, size, etc) for the best price possible from any of these two companies.

test it out yourself. it all depends on personal preference. i personally have a corsair keyboard (k70) and it's been going strong for 4 years and would gladly buy another one.

Both are reputable. The die-hard enthusiasts will always tell you to go CM because:

 

1. They use standard keycaps so if you ever want to replace your set you can easily (the K70's bottom row is non-standard so you're stuck with what it comes with) and
2. Apparently some CM boards are actually made by Filco, which is a company enthusiasts love.

With that said I have a K70 and I love it. I don't intend on replacing my keycaps (which will cost as much as a new board...!), and personally don't care about the brand provided it's reliable.

 

Corsair will give you the better light show (which I also don't care about personally), CM will give you a more upgradeable "vanilla-looking" board.

In terms of the two brands it all really comes down to personal preference, like others have said your best bet is to just choose the one with the features and aesthetics you want. If you can I would suggest trying them irl if you can since I have a k65 with mx reds that I find unusable and two other keyboards with mx reds and gateron reds that I can use just fine.
