As you'll learn, you need to place the mouse precisely at the right location, the mouse will flash with its LEDs in white a couple of times and starts charging. The idea is fine, but there is one thing you will need to keep in mind, for anything to charge, your PC must be powered on at all times as in Sleep or power down mode, your USB ports do not deliver any power. Considering you use your mouse when powered on, that could end up being a bit of a paradox. This is something you need to keep in mind.

For those that wonder, yes .. Qi is a universal inductive charging standard, so smartphones like Galaxy S6, S7, S8 will charge perfectly fine on the mouse mat as well. Admittedly, it is quite handy having your phone charged while working on the PC.

Corsair also includes a kit for those that have a smartphone that does not come with wireless charging, that functions as Qi wireless charger and comes with a Micro-USB connector, as well as a Type-C and Lightening adaptor for you to be able to plug it in.

So that would look something like shown above. Granted, that looks a bit icky, but it works and is rather handy.

So there you have it, the Dark Core RGB SE mouse and MM1000 mousepad. Admittedly, the Qi charging works well.

Corsair HS65 Wireless Headset review
Headsets are one of the types of peripherals that Corsair offers (there are also PC components, but that’s not a story for this review). It ranges from budget-oriented HS series (the reviewed one is one of them), then there’s the mid-range Void series, and it ends with high-end Virtuoso. The HS series starts with HS35, and till now, it also contained HS45, HS50, HS55, HS60, HS65, HS70, HS75, and HS80 (some of them had different, wireless variants). We’re checking out the all-new Corsair HS65 Wireless in this review (today is the debut).

Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 6000 CL36 review
In July, Corsair presented a new series of DDR5 memories: the Vengeance RGB DDR5. The available kits from the RGB edition have a frequency higher than the base 4800 MHz (5200-6600 MHz); the non-RGB version starts from 4800 MHz. We are checking the Corsair Vengeance RGB 6000 MHz CL36 DDR5 kit today. It's in the middle frequency in the series. We already had an opportunity (almost three years ago) to review the Vengeance (Pro) RGB series RAM, but it was for the DDR4; the frequency was 3200 MHz, and it received a "Top Pick" award, and also the Vengeance RGB Pro SL which had 3600 MHz frequency (with CL18) and got the "Approved" award. But let's focus back on the tested DDR5 kit.

Corsair Katar Elite Wireless mouse review
In this article, we review the Corsair Katar Elite Wireless mouse. It’s an optical gaming mouse that was launched today, on 26.10.2022. The Katar model is a new version of the Katar Pro Wireless that was introduced on October 2020. The Katar Elite Wireless is targeted at gamers, but it should also work more than fine as a regular mouse. This time, the optical sensor is not the 10K DPI PMW3325 but a 26K DPI Corsair Marksman. It has 1 DPI resolutions steps, 650 IPS tracking, and up to 50G acceleration.
