Just a tip. I got the K95 to work on my Mac, minus the G-Keys.
I used Parallels/Windows 8 to install the key colors into the 3 keyboard memories. I have one "general" and one for FCPX and one uniform color (aka "spare.")
I discovered two ways to get the keyboard recognized:
1) launch Parallels/Windows and "attach" the keyboard there via the menu. Then quit Windows and Parallels, and it's recognized.
2) better yet: hook the keyboard into a powered USB 2 hub. This seems to keep it recognized, even thru power off cycles.
Caveats:
a) there is NO guarantee this will work for you; I'm just relaying my own experience.
b) I suspect that the keyboard will not work with pre-boot commands, such as single-user mode or wiping the PRAM, so I'd keep another keyboard around for such needs.
c) the G-1 to G18 keys are pretty, but useless.
d) the caps lock light does not work in this configuration. (Actually, that surprised me>)
That said, the multimedia switches work, including volume and mute. The dimmer button works. I can switch between the three memorized layouts.
Given that there are 50-million mac users out there, and they spend more than PC users, I'm hoping (but not holding my breath) that Corsair will give us a little love, and create at least the basic software for the static lighting and the G-keys. (I can easily do without the lighting animation, thanks...)
There you are:
FWIW

YMMV
