Corsair Gaming VOID RGB Dolby headset review -
Introduction
Corsair Gaming VOID RGB
Wireless Dolby headsets just got RGB LEDs
We review the new Corsair Gaming VOID RGB wireless headset. The Dolby 7.1 certified VOID RGB is the successor model to the Vengeance series and works through a USB transmitter on the 2.4 GHz Wireless band. One charge will get you hours of wireless headset gaming over two quality 50mm drivers.
Over the years Corsair has moved from being a memory company towards a much more diverse entity targeted at gamers. Memory, SSDs, power supplies, chassis', keyboards, mouses, cooling and sure, audio products as well. On the audio front Corsair has now moved products to their professional gaming line called 'Corsair gaming'. Being all wireless and with nice big 50mm (not sure but likely Neodyne) drivers this headset connects wirelessly to your USB port with the help of a receiver and transmitter USB dongle. The new headset has support for Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP. Windows 10 is obviously supported as well, you will need to download the latest driver for the full Corsair Utility Engine software suite which allows you to tweak audio to your audiophile preference. The new model name is the Gaming VOID RGB Wireless 7.1 Gaming Headset which proclaims to be a 7.1 surround wireless gaming headset that brings in realistic multi-channel-like gaming audio. The battery charge can bring you the comfort of 16 hours of usage (according to Corsair). The VOID RGB works through a USB transmitter (surround-sound headset) and comes with nice big 50mm drivers and a trick or two.
The headset supports Dolby surround sound, albeit we found that disabling that feature sounded much better overall. The new headset is capable of offering a 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response. The product will carry a 2 year warranty ensuring that the Corsair Gaming VOID RGB will love you long time. The RGB system basically consists of configurable LEDs housed in both earpads, armed with the Corsair Utility Engine you can apply a varyity of colors and/or animations and even programm things yourself. Anyway, let's read on-wards and find out how the new wireless Corsair Gaming VOID RGB headset works and sounds. But have a peek at that new look, and then hit the next page please.
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.
