I absolutely love this keyboard. I have the MX speed. Some people don't like this switch because it's so responsive, and they have a tendency to double (triple) hit the keys. I had a K70 Vengeance previously for years, so I'm used to fast action keys, but the K95 with MX speed is even faster, and it still took some time to get used to it. Being a touch typist, that's taken me about a month. Part of the difficulty is in the placement of the six macro keys on the left side of the keyboard. When I went for the "escape" key, I kept hitting the "G1" macro key. I'm still working on that problem. It's a matter of getting used to positioning your hands on the "F" and "J" keys. Thanks to the bumps on these keys, I can do it without having to look at the keyboard. I installed dampers which of course, decreased switch travel. The dampers don't decrease the noise much, because the keyboard was already quiet. I'm a little of a pounder and the decreased travel has forced me to use finger action more. As a result, I'm getting used to typing on the K95, and my speed and accuracy is improving. I don't have the double hit problem others have complained about, probably because I was used to the K70 Vengeance, which had red switches installed. I've never liked wrist rests. They're the first thing that gets thrown out. That is until Cosair provided the wrist rest with the K95. It's a pleasure to use. It's soft, comfortable, anchors my hands, and improves my speed and accuracy. I haven't done much with the iCue program, but I'm looking forward to programming the macro keys. All in all, I rate this as a 5-star keyboard. If you're a touch typist and can get used to the fast action MX Speed switches, you'll absolutely love this keyboard.Read full review
