Corsair’s new K95 XT keyboard has built-in Elgato Stream Deck controls
Ever since the streaming bods over at Elgato were subsumed into Corsair's giant PC peripherals basket back in 2018, I've been waiting for the inevitable mash-up moment where both companies collide in a single bit of hardware. Finally, that time has arrived, as Corsair unveiled a new version of their top-end K95 Platinum keyboard at CES earlier this week that has built-in support for Elgato's…

Corsair’s Glaive RGB Pro mouse chops the Nightsword in two, but fails to match the mighty Ironclaw
Of the fourteen gaming mice that have swished across my desk this year, six of them have been made by Corsair. With the Glaive RGB Pro, that number rises to seven - which is, frankly, a ridiculous number of mice to release within the space of twelve months, and way more variations on a theme than is perhaps strictly necessary. Some have been great -…

Corsair’s Nightsword mouse has the best name, but a not so great price
We've all seen our fair share of amusing hardware names over the years, but Corsair's Nightsword RGB mouse is quite possibly the best one yet. I just love it, particularly because there's nothing remotely sword-like about it at all. There is, I'll admit, a reasonably fine point on the end of its two main clicker buttons, but the patterned, soft-touch chassis and grippy left-facing thumb…
Feature: Pumping iron
Corsair have produced some fantastic gaming mice this year. The Ironclaw RGB went straight into my [block id="604479" title="Best gaming mouse"] list when I looked at it back in March, as did the Harpoon RGB Wireless when I tested it in May. Therefore, it surely follows that a wireless version of the Ironclaw RGB, which uses the same Corsair Slipstream technology as the Harpoon Wireless,…

Corsair M55 RGB Pro review: Not my new favourite gaming mouse
After the [block id="604479" title="Best gaming mouse"]-grade delights of Roccat's Kain 120 earlier this week, Corsair's new ambidextrous M55 RGB Pro had a pretty tough job on its hands. Sure, the Corsair's more appealing for the lefties out there, but boy do I miss the soft, smooth texture of Roccat's Kain. Instead, the M55 RGB Pro has a hard, almost rough plastic finish outside of…
Feature: Weighing up the pros and cons
Finding a good gaming mouse can sometimes feel like you're stuck in the story of Goldilocks. You don't want one that's too heavy, nor do you want one that's too light. Instead, you want one that feels just right under your palm. Or you could just buy a weighted one such as Corsair's new M65 RGB Elite and make your own mind up as you…

Corsair Harpoon RGB Wireless review: An incredible wireless gaming mouse for just £50 / $50
When Corsair announced their new Harpoon RGB Wireless gaming mouse would cost just £49 / $50 back in January earlier this year, I thought there must be some kind of catch. A wireless gaming mouse for a mere $50? You must be having a laugh. Now, I know I haven't reviewed that many wireless gaming mice so far, but the two I have looked at,…
Feature: Pumping some iron
It's not often you see a gaming mouse tout itself as both MOBA and FPS material, but the new Corsair Ironclaw RGB is one such genre-crossing clicker that hopes to combine the lightweight precision of so-called FPS mice with the overall long-term comfort of their MOBA-based cousins. And man alive does it succeed.
Feature: Lapping it up
Wireless gaming keyboards can be great for decluttering your desk, and to a certain extent even a passable tool for playing games in the living room - provided you don't mind balancing a hard mouse mat on your knee, that is. There are, of course, also full-blown lapboards for those of us who'd rather kick back on the sofa than sit up at our desks…
Not content with rewriteing the rulebook on RGB lighting with their new Capellix tech at this year's CES, rainbow gaming specialists Corsair also announced a new wireless technology today that will form the foundation of all of their wireless gaming peripherals going forward. Dubbed Slipstream, it's twice as fast as their previous generation of wireless tech, has a massive range of up to 65ft, supports…
CES 2019: Corsair’s tiny Capellix LEDs will appear first in their new Dominator Platinum RGB RAM
It's been five years since Corsair first unleashed a wave of rainbows across PC gaming peripherals with the introduction of their K70 RGB keyboard, but now those RGB nuts are taking their brightly coloured LEDs to the next level. Announced today at their CES 2019 press conference, Corsair's Capellix tech is a new form of LED mounting that allows for higher brightness levels, better power…

Build a Black Friday PC: The best 1080p gaming PC for under $590
Black Friday is a brilliant time for upgrading your PC on the cheap, but arguably it's an even better time for first-time PC builders looking to assemble all the necessary parts for the lowest price possible. Now I've already cribbed together a PC for UK builders that can play Plunkbat and Battlefield V on max settings at 1080p for under £600, but for US builders…

Corsair HS70 Wireless review: My new favourite wireless gaming headset
PCs are a messy business. Most of us have wires up the wazoo, and probably not an insignificant number of knots and snarled cables to go with them. Problem is, not many of us are willing to forgo the speed and reassurance that comes from having a wired set of peripherals - except, that is, when it comes to our headsets. Life is so much…

Corsair K68 RGB review: A spill resistant keyboard that only wants to get its toes wet
We've all done it. I've even ruined a rather expensive gaming laptop doing it. And yet, I still keep a long, tall glass of water on my desk every day (not to mention multiple mugs of tea) because I'm an idiot who can't learn from her own mistakes. Right next to my keyboard. One accidental swipe of my arm, or a mad dash across my…
Corsair launches their second gaming chair, the T2 Road Warrior
When you think of Corsair, you probably think of RAM, keyboards and gaming headsets like the Void Pro RGB, but did you also know they make gaming chairs? Well, you do now, and their second such chair, the T2 Road Warrior, is about to bring all the bells and whistles to the world of derriere gaming support thanks to its many degrees of tilt and reclining comfort. And before you…

Corsair Scimitar Pro RGB and MM800c RGB Polaris review: The ultimate rainbow lightshow
When I first saw Corsair's Scimitar mouse a couple of years ago, I thought it was the most bonkers-looking thing I'd ever seen. Just like its equally mad successor, the Scimitar Pro RGB I've got here, it had 12 mechanical buttons on the side. Twelve! This is a calculator, not a mouse, I thought to myself at the time. How could anyone possibly need 12 individual…

Corsair K70 Lux RGB review: Softly, softly with the MX Silent edition
As much as I loved the Asus ROG Claymore when I tested it at the end of last year, there's still a very large part of me that balks at the idea of spending £150 on a mechanical keyboard. After years of being perfectly happy with admittedly terrible plastic membrane concoctions, it's hard to let go. The Corsair K70 Lux RGB isn't any less expensive…

Corsair Void Pro RGB review: Supreme comfort marred by underwhelming surround
I thought it would be ages before I found another pair of headphones that could rival Steelseries' superb Arctis 7 for [block id="604477" title="Best gaming headset"], but it turns out great headsets are a bit like buses. You wait ages and then two come along at once. This time, it's Corsair's Void Pro RGB.
