While the feel is much like a Cherry MX red, the speed variant uses a shorter throw to actuation, hence the speed name. The second reason Corsair moved to this switch is the clear body, as it allows for some of the brightest LED light shows that will flood the entire top of the keyboard with light. The third reason is more marketing genius than anything else, as we have yet to see any other company use these switches, so if they interest you, you must go to Corsair to obtain this technology.
Today, we have the latest of the mechanical keyboard lineup from Corsair with their K95 RGB Platinum mechanical gaming keyboard. With all the heritage of the previous designs, keeping to what has worked best over the years, the appearance of this keyboard is obviously Corsair. This does not mean they have sat on their heels and just added a fancy name to the end of it, quite the contrary. Not only is the K95 RGB Platinum the most advanced RGB keyboard we have seen from them, but Corsair also took the time to listen to the masses and add in features which were not present previously. Macro keys, profile keys, an ingenious reversible wrist rest design, added locations of LED illumination - the list goes on and on.
If you happen to be in the market for a new mechanical keyboard, Corsair has set a new standard of what we should expect from them in the future. This keyboard squashes many of the concerns of the days gone by and is why we strongly urge you to take the time to look at what Corsair is offering now, as this is the best of the best that we have ever seen from them.
Following the chart which can be found on the Corsair product page for the K95 RGB Platinum, we will be jumping around quite a bit, but they do deliver quite a bit of important information. Initially, we see that the K95 RGB Platinum is backed with a two-year warranty against defects, and all told it weighs in at 1.324kg. Out of the 118-key layout of this design, the majority of the switches are Cherry MX Speed switches, but they do also use rubber dome switches to back eight of them. Dimensionally, the K95 RGB Platinum is a touch wider than previous designs, measuring 465mm in width, the depth is slightly longer too at 171mm, and the back edge of the keyboard stands 36mm off the desk. In this design, we also find six dedicated G-keys for Macros down the left edge of the K95 RGB Platinum. The report rate is set by default at 1ms, and also is designed to offer anti-ghosting and NKRO over USB.
The right side of the chart explains that this keyboard is extended, not only dimensionally, but in features as well. There is the onboard memory to save profiles and Macros, and be able to take it all with you should you need to travel with it. There are six dedicated multimedia keys, which also includes a roller style, volume adjustment, wheel. There is also a wrist rest in this design, which is not only detachable but is also reversible with optional textures applied to the top of it. The K95 RGB Platinum uses an all new version of the CUE software which can now run multiple devices in one suite, the cable is braided, there is a Windows lockout key, and the layout is shown with an "NA" but ours is a QWERTY, standard US layout.
Other things worth mentioning that are not found in the chart is that there are a few versions of this K95 RGB Platinum as well. We received the black-colored version with Cherry MX Speed switches, but this color is also available with Cherry MX brown or Cherry MX red switches as well. We also spotted a gunmetal color option to the K95 RGB Platinum, but as far as we can tell for what is available online, it is served up with only the option of Cherry MX red switches at this time. We also know that all versions ship with a set of FPS and MOBA keycaps which are like what we have seen in the past, and they also ship with a standard plastic key cap puller.
As of this moment, the K95 is only released to the public so that we can offer you a review of it at this time. The actual release for availability to the masses appears to be the end of January, and then you will find any pre-listed links of this product for actual sale at that time. What we are seeing, is that no matter which color or switch you wish to use, the pricing is the same. This holds true for locations as well. It does not matter if you shop online at Newegg or Amazon, or if you want to walk into a big box store like Best Buy, so you don't have to wait, the K95 RGB Platinum will be sold at $199.99. This is quite a bit to shell out for a backlit mechanical keyboard; there is no doubt about that fact. However, it seems that Corsair has streamlined the design and the software, is offering us the best we have seen in RGB LED lighting, and come up with enough features that we feel it will not take much for you to appreciate what you will be getting for this price.

?I would like to open with Pollock?
Makhaya Ntini doesn't need much time to identify his favourite bowling partner. "Shaun Pollock," he says immediately.
Makhaya Ntini doesn't need much time to identify his favourite bowling partner. "Shaun Pollock," he says immediately. "I would definitely like to open the bowling for South Africa with Pollock."
Explaining his position, Ntini said the former captain has speed and more importantly, he can read a batsman's abilities very early. "That is a great advantage for a strike bowler."
The new captain, Graeme Smith, feels Pollock will be more effective coming in as the first change. Against India last Saturday, he surprised everyone by using Pollock as the fifth bowler. "After Allan Donald's retirement, Pollock is the best bowler we have," Ntini added.
Ntini took his 100th one-day international wicket when he dismissed Gautam Gambhir last Saturday. "It was a milestone that took a long time coming," he said.
He would have preferred to capture his 100th wicket in the World Cup, but South Africa's early exit ended his hopes. "I was stuck on 99 in the World Cup and knew I could achieve the landmark in the first match of my next tour. The wait was fruitful."
Gambhir's wicket gave him immense joy, although he would have liked either Virender Sehwag or Sourav Ganguly to be his 100th wicket. "But then the 100th wicket is a great achievement in itself and matters little who the batsman was."
The next target in 100 wickets in Tests. He is 13 short and the Test series that follows the TVS Cup here might give him the opportunity, if he bowls well.
"I have come a long way since debut. I had set a few deadlines for myself, learned from the captains I played under and the coaches. Overall, it has been fine."
Ntini, however, is known to be erratic. A very good spell tends to get undone by straying in line and length. "It is all in the mind," he said. "When you attempt to do something different or try too hard, you can become erratic." However, he would definitely want to control that.
Now, opening the bowling with new partners, Ntini has to take up the role of motivator, something which Pollock has been doing for so a long time. "The new bowlers are quite good and will learn the tricks in international cricket pretty fast."
Talking about Pollock, Ntini said he was a very good captain and has an excellent record to show. "Smith is lucky to have Pollock by his side at a time when he is starting off as the captain. Not that Smith is not capable, but Pollock's experience will be of immense help."
He, however, will not compare captains. "It is never easy to compare. Hansie Cronje was good at his job, but I have hardly played under him. Rather I have developed under Pollock." He feels reference to Cronje during the World Cup was unnecessary.
Ntini, who wanted to be a policeman but has no regrets about ending up being a cricketer, was disappointed with South Africa's World Cup failure. "We the players could not do our job well.
There is no point in blaming the captain now." In fact, he takes it as a personal failure. "The days were difficult after the exit, but I guess now we have got over it and can look forward to the future."
Four local homes will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 6, as part of the annual National Solar Tour sponsored by the American Solar Energy Society and Solar United Neighbors.
º 19 Fox Hill Road in Lafayette, a Net Zero Energy home. This home features a 9 kilowatt solar electric system, a solar hot water system, passive solar space heating, earth sheltering, and a two-story sunspace, which result in a Net Zero Energy home that produces as much energy as it consumes.
Visitors will also see a 100 percent electric vehicle and electric charging station, which allows the car to be charged from the home's solar collectors, resulting in zero energy cost and producing zero emissions.
º 15 Price Road in Augusta, which includes a dramatic 10 kilowatt wind turbine and 10 kilowatt ground mounted solar electric system that provide most of the electricity needed for this home.
The combination of solar energy during the daytime and wind energy at night provides a continuous flow of energy for the home.
º 224 Fairview Ave. in the Kemah Lake area of Hampton, with a roof-mounted 7 kilowatt solar electric system that was installed earlier this year.
º 23 Hardwick Road in Hardwick, with two ground mounted solar arrays providing a total of 14 kilowatts of electricity.
The first array was installed in 2005 and upgraded recently; the second array is equipped with micro-inverters and was installed in 2018.
Across the country hundreds of homes are open to the public that day, free of charge, allowing visitors to talk with owners who have made a commitment to reduce their use of fossil fuels and discover the ways people are conserving energy, saving money and protecting the environment.
The tour provides an opportunity for homeowners to experience firsthand what life in a more sustainable, energy-efficient home is like.
Visitors will learn firsthand how incorporating green building design and equipment can help to dramatically reduce electrical and heating costs, increase energy conservation, and generate surplus clean energy.
Residents considering making energy efficiency improvements to their homes who aren't sure where to start are invited to join in the National Solar Tour.
A complete list of sites and events is available at: http://www.ases.orghttp://www.nesea.org/openhouse/listings/nationalsolartour.org or email spectorarch@earthlink.net.
Examples of green features that are used in homes and buildings that will be open during this event include passive solar heating (advantageous placement of windows), solar hot water collection and storage, radiant floor heating, the generation of electricity by using photovoltaics (solar panels) or wind turbines, use of energy-saving appliances and techniques (super-insulation and sealing air spaces), use of sustainable and healthy building materials, and the use of water-saving fixtures.
Austin has first round talent, but he did not play football last season and there are concerns about his character and work ethic. He appears to be a prototypical 3-technique defensive tackle, as he is a big boy with outstanding athleticism. He has great feet and the lateral agility to move quickly down the line and make tackles on the edge. He uses his quick heavy hands to shed blocks and has the closing burst to make plays in the backfield. Austin's off the field issues may prevent him from being a first round pick, but he could be a major steal in round two.
Austin has great size and speed for the position. Explodes off the ball and shows great foot quickness. Possesses superb lateral agility and the range to make plays outside the tackle box. Strong player with a thick lower half that flashes a powerful bull rush to collapse the pocket.
Plays too high and struggles to fend off double teams. Takes too long to locate the ball and can be engulfed by down blocks. Does not have an extensive repertoire of pass rushing moves. Will take plays off and has a questionable work ethic. Missed entire 2010 season after being deemed ineligible.
History remains alive in a church at 128 E. Bertheaud Ave., Opelousas.
The Opelousas Little Theatre is housed there. It formed in 1939 with humble beginnings playing in gymnasiums, auditoriums and homes around Opelousas.
Twenty years later, in 1959, the group was offered an opportunity to settle in a church (built in 1880) that was at risk of being demolished to meet city standards. The group raised funds to purchase the old building and made a deal with South City Park to lease a piece of property to place it, good for 100 years.
The Opelousas Little Theatre posted playbills on the wall from every show performed — that you can still see today — all the way up to 1976 when the theater “went dark,” abandoning the church.
In 1984, the city approached the group, warning them that if the building remained empty it would be torn down. This motivated previous members, along with new faces, to come together and restore the old church and reignite the theater group.
Their efforts paid off, and the theater thrives to this day, 79 years later.
Dana Reed, a theater member for more than 33 years, reflects on her experience of being a part of the restoration.
Members who make up this group are close-knit and passionate about the trade, and anyone who joins is "family." It's a great outlet for all ages, especially teenagers and young adults.
Lauren Bourgeois, a member of the Opelousas Little Theatre for the past 15 years, says she grew up surrounded by theater, being initiated by her parents. She recalled working on homework backstage while her mom, Missy Benoit, practiced at rehearsals. Now, she and her husband, daughter and son are all a part of the Opelousas Little Theatre.
Her most memorable moment, she said, was when her family, including her mother, played in their performance of "Shrek."
“You will be pleasantly surprised that you can find a good theater in Opelousas," Bourgeois added. "It is something that everyone should at least go and try once. We offer a variety of plays and shows that are always $10, unless it ends up at a different venue."
The Opelousas Little Theatre encourages involvement from the local community and has open positions for a variety of talents.
Whether you make it out to see a show, try out at an audition or display your talent in their monthly showcase, the Opelousas Little Theatre offers something for everyone. Keep history alive and visit them today.

You've had a complete look at the new Chinese New Year decorations, crops, animals and trees in the FarmVille 2 marketplace. But wait, there's more! There are also three new Crafting Kitchen recipes that will be available for around a month, and we're here with a complete guide to their ingredients and payouts.
The first recipe is Goji Berry Lemonade, and it are crafted with one Lemonade and eight Goji Berries. These berries are planted for 28 coins per square, and they're ready to harvest after four hours. As for the Lemonade, this recipe itself is worth 350 coins, and it takes a couple of steps to create. First, you'll need to combine Lemons and Water to make Lemon Water.
After that, you'll combine the Lemon Water with more Lemons to create the actual Lemonade. That makes this recipe even more valuable than its 350 coin sale price, since it requires Water, arguably the most valuable item in the game. If you decide to turn your Goji Berries into Goji Berry Lemonade, you'll be able to sell a single batch for 2,510 coins. You'll also receive 16 XP for each Lemonade you create.
The second recipe is for a jar of Salted Plums, which requires three Salt and 10 Chinese Plums to create. The Salt are earned by sending out individual requests to your friends for help, while the Chinese Plums are earned from the Chinese Plum Tree. A single Chinese Plum Tree is available for purchase for 12 Farm Bucks, but if you're not willing to spend Farm Bucks on the tree to earn Chinese Plums on your own farm, you might be able to earn some from friends. You can tend these trees on your friends' farms (where available) to have a chance at Chinese Plums, but there's no guarantee you'll actually earn enough to create some Salted Plums. If you do, or you simply purchase the tree yourself, you can sell a single jar of Salted Plums for 3,000 coins. You'll receive 16 XP for each one you create.
The final recipe is another premium option, as Orange Fortune Cookies are available to create using three Batter and eight Mandarin Oranges each. The Batter are created using Flour and Eggs, with Flour being created using Wheat. The Mandarin Oranges, meanwhile, are earned via the Mandarin Orange Tree, which is purchased for 12 Farm Bucks. If you gather enough Mandarin Oranges to create an Orange Fortune Cookie—either through your own trees or through friends'—you'll be able to sell them for 3,340 coins per batch. This recipe rewards 24 XP per creation.
These recipes will be available for 27 days, while the actual trees and crops in this theme will expire after 20 days. We'll let you know whether this Chinese New Year theme expands in FarmVille 2 before the real deal arrives next month.
What do you think of these Chinese New Year crafting recipes? Will you spend Farm Bucks to purchase either of these premium trees? Sound off in the Games.com comments!
After summits with U.S. President Trump, German Chancellor Angela Merkel says Europe must take its fate into its own hands. Rough Cut - subtitled (no reporter narration).
ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) Europe can no longer completely rely on its allies, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Sunday (May 28), pointing to bruising meetings of G7 wealthy nations and NATO last week. Speaking to around 2,000 people in a beer tent in Munich, Merkel neither mentioned U.S. President Donald Trump directly nor the international disputes about defense spending and climate change policy. But in an apparent reference to Trump's open criticism of major NATO allies and his refusal to back established language on fighting rising global temperatures, Merkel said: "The times when we could completely count on others, they are over to a certain extent. I have experienced this in the last few days," adding that Europe must take its fate into its own hands. Merkel also said that Germany stood with Britain and other nations against terror after last week's bombing in Manchester which killed 22 people.
When you say SPLA, who do you refer to? I kept saying this several times in my writing that, the country we are living in today did not come as a result of bullet from single tribe. it God’s Grace through US that we all managed to vote for referendum.
I may be wasting my time writing to Animal or idle thinking it is human being. Normal human with sound reasoning knows the history of south Sudan.
Former Auburn QB Jeremy Johnson spends nearly two months with private QB coach Tom Shaw to retool his mechanics.
AUBURN – Regarding how his Auburn career finished, Jeremy Johnson had a lot to run away from.
Whether it was the way he lost the starting quarterback job in 2015, the way he never got it back in the following fall camp or the way his senior year started as he was booed loudly at Jordan-Hare Stadium after a key interception against eventual national champion Clemson.
This spring Johnson ran to Orlando in the hopes of getting fixed physically and a little bit mentally as the Montgomery native prepares for a possible shot in a professional league somewhere.
— Auburn QB Jeremy Johnson on why he went to Orlando to work with private coach Tom Shaw.
insignificantly how he held the football in his right hand.
“Coach Shaw taught me a different way of holding the ball, keeping space under the palm of my hand that changed the way the ball came out and as far as following through,” Johnson said.
Johnson’s grip on the ball was a major problem throughout his tremulous 2015 season that included Auburn offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee reportedly ripping gloves off Johnson’s hands on a humid day at LSU in which the football completely slipped out of Johnson’s hands as he winded up to throw. The backwards pass to nobody resulting in a 11-yard loss was made into a social media video nearly immediately and the 45-21 loss at LSU was Johnson’s last game as the deemed starter that season until Sean White got injured later in the year.
Johnson went to Orlando to work out and be a human sponge of information to Winston and rookie Pro Bowl selection Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys.
Johnson, who measured just above 6-foot-4 and 232 pounds, would describe “feeling like myself” as closer to the gifted prospect who was a U.S. Army All-American selection out of Carver High School that was supposed to be the next prodigy quarterback in the Auburn program behind Can Newton and Nick Marshall. Instead Johnson was forced to throw in his Pro Day workouts in front of scouts wanting to know how his career arch went terribly wrong in his final two years with the Tigers.
the Montgomery native when he brought him into the program as part of his first recruiting class as the Tigers head coach. After four years with the Tigers program, Malzahn has hopes Johnson can find what has been ailing the 6-foot-5 signal caller and hopes Shaw was able to partially transform his career arc in the right direction.
ARSENAL could lose Alexis Sanchez to Manchester City in January for as little as £20m.
The Chile international was denied a move to the Etihad on deadline day.
The Gunners would have secured £60m for the wantaway forward, but they failed to land a replacement.
Monaco winger Thomas Lemar snubbed a £92m switch, which saw Arsenal force Sanchez to stay.
However, he has no intention of signing a new deal with his contract still set to expire at the end of the season.
And City could reignite their interest as soon as the New Year.
According to The Sun, City will make a £20m move for Sanchez in January.
But they are unlikely to bid more than that figure.
City do not want to be held to ransom by Arsenal as the 28-year-old will have just six months remaining on his contract.
Pep Guardiola’s side remain confident, though, of signing Sanchez within the next 12 months.
Arsenal’s eventual refusal to sell this summer could mean holding on to Sanchez for half a season will cost them £40m.
The Sun add while the Chile international will be able to negotiate with foreign clubs from January, he is set to move to City.
