Corsair iCUE LT100 Smart Lighting Towers
Mordor RGB Towers?

Today we're presenting the Corsair iCUE LT100 Smart Lighting Towers. We must admit that Corsair has a true passion for RGB LEDs. RAM modules have them, as well as AIOs, chassis, headphones, and other accessories, like the iCUE LS100 Monitor Backlighting Kit led strips. All of this can be controlled and synchronized through iCUE software. The LS100 (installed behind the monitor) was the first step, followed by the iCUE LT100 kits designed as ‘lighthouses’ that can be set up flexibly to raise ambient lighting to a new level, with an option to synchronize the lights with what is happening in games, films, and videos, or use them as visualization for music playback.

There’s also the option to illuminate your space immediately at the push of a button, with 11 profiles available out of the box. If you prefer, you can move the tower backward for more subtle illumination of your space. Each of the towers (you can find two in the starter kit) has 46 integrated RGB LEDs and can be placed flexibly to expand the radius of your lighting system. It’s worth mentioning that a similar solution is already available on the market - Philips Hue Play. The Corsair iCUE LT100 is available in the form of two kits:

the LT 100 Starter Kit contains two 42 cm-high towers, with 46 individually addressable RGB LEDs each, a power supply, and a removable headphone holder
the Expansion Kit includes a single tower. You can use it to expand your system or to completely replace the secondary tower (but not the base one) from the starter kit if it breaks.

The starter is priced at $129.99/€139.99, with expansion kits available for $59.99/€69.99, and up to four towers supported in a single system. This is not a cheap solution for sure. But is it worth the price?

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.

Corsair HS55 Wireless Core Headset review
Corsair has a broad range of PC components and peripherals. Among them, headsets are also available, and the range starts from the 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. Getting back to the HS series, it starts with HS35, and till now, it also contained HS45, HS50, HS55, HS60, HS65, HS70, HS75, and HS80 (some of them had different variants). We’re checking out the all-new Corsair HS55 Wireless Core in this review. Its debut is on the 20th of September, 2022.
