Corsair GLAIVE RGB game mouse review - Product Showcase

The mouse is based on a 16,000 DPI sensor and comes with six (macro) programmable positions. As mentioned the Glaive is primarily single-textured with a soft plastic/rubber feel to the top of it. Not at all uncomfortable, and it won't get slippery when wet or sweaty in your warm hand during an intense gaming session. The mouse itself has an ergonomic design and feels very nice in my hands, but I do have large hands so for some it might seem a bit bulky. BTW, if you are a left handed person, then this is definitely not the mouse for you.

On top, the rubber scroll wheel which can be clicked as well (programmable). The one button below the scroll-wheel is the select-able DPI switch with several programmable gradations. You can have a DPI selection of you liking, configurable through the software suite. All switches by the way are Omron switches, very sensitive and very durable, rated at 50 million clicks. Heck no, I'm not testing the number though!

We see some nice glide skirts at the bottom. Four what seem to be PTFE feet provide good movement of the mouse. The 16K DPI sensor (Pixart 3367) is marked in the dead centre of both the horizontal and vertical, which brings a very small learning curve for those who take advantage of high sensitivity and subtle mouse movements rather than your normal linear sweeps. Corsair actually partnered with Pixart to make the 16K version sensor.

The USB cable is roughly 2 meters, not rubberized but cloth braided. Wireless mouse gaming is a dirty word anno 2017 hence you'll have to deal with the chord.

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.
