Out of the gate, I'm knocking a star off for a combination of things...the MSRP of this keyboard, and the fact that I had to hunt across an entire store to actually see one out of the box.
This is a more compact keyboard that some of the other gaming ones I've used, and with the particular switches for the keys, it is going to be louder...if you want a quiet keyboard, then don't use these types of switches.
There's 1 USB pass-thru on this keyboard, and the software that runs the lighting system from Corsair is a bit overly complicated in my opinion - but if you want lighting options for a keyboard, you can literally do thousands, if you want to spend the time setting them up.
It allows you to swap out your WASD and some other keys that are frequently used in gaming, which is a nice touch.
DO NOT BUY if you need a keyboard for your everyday home use, or making spreadsheets; there are other keyboards out there that are far less expensive and have specific features for things like that. This is a pure gaming keyboard, so unless you need a light show when you're replying to work emails, look for the right tool for the right job.
I would recommend this to a friend!

 Insignia™ - 6' USB 2.0 Transfer Cable - Black
Insignia™ - 6' USB 2.0 Transfer Cable - Black
This 6' Insignia™ NS-PU965XF USB 2.0 cable is designed for use with PC and Mac and features speeds up to 480 Mbps for efficient data transfer to and from devices.
 

Can this cord be used to hook up a sound bar to a movie projector?

This is a data transfer cable...you're going to need a regular connection cable, unless you're moving some type of files between a sound bar and a movie projector?
There's way better, and much better priced, cables for hooking up a sound bar to a movie projector.

I don't notice Outlook in this package, which seems very odd. Is Outlook included? If not, which Office package includes outlook.

I am installing on a new computer without internet access. Home made. Do I need access to the internet to install?

Yes, you need internet access to install this. All it gives you is a code on the back of the card, and one of the requirements is "Internet access".

Why is the cord only 4 feet?? That's almost too short to be practical.

If 4' of keyboard cable is too short for you, then you can buy cable extenders to add more length.
Depending on how much length you need and what you're using the keyboard for, you might want to go wireless instead.

Which switch for the K95 is the QUIETEST? Not a gamer but i do lots of typing. Thank you

From what I've seen in the industry standards, your Cherry MX Blue and Brown would be the loudest, with your MX Red being quieter.
However, this is relative to an individual, and there are benefits/drawbacks to the keypress timing, etc. between the different switches.
I honestly recommend you try the various types out and see what works for you.

Also - be careful between keyboard manufacturers...some of them like to call "their" switches different things than the industry "standard", thus confusing the customer even more.

Are the dimensions listed with or without the hand rest attached?

I believe they're listed w/o the wrist rest attached. It's not terribly large and adding to the depth of the keyboard. I personally use it because I'm typing a fair amount in the games I'm in.

The pictures for this keyboard shows two different gray keycap set ups. Does the keyboard come with these textured keycaps and you can choose to put them in or not? I would like WASD textured the way one picture shows.

Yes. It has a shrink-wrapped set of the extra grey keys that you can optionally choose to put on the keyboard, if you wish.
