Much like all Corsair keyboards, and a bit of a signature, media keys, missing however is that good old aluminum volume roller. You now get physical buttons for that. For media control you have the three standard volume, stop, back, play/pause, and forward buttons. All the way up top are three extra keys. The M button is a macro recording button, the middle one controls the RGB LED brightness and the right side button is the lock is the Windows key lock. The top side of the keyboard is made of plastic, in fact, all of it is. That as well is a difference compared to the premium keyboards.

One more photo of the G-keys. Program them with macros, tie them to the Elgato stream deck, whatever you want. They are very handy, but I do wish there would have been a little more space in between the G keys and say CTRL on the left side. Whenever I use copy-paste I kept hitting the G6 keys as opposed to the left side SHIFT and CTRL button. Then again, keyboards can be very personal. These things take some time to accustomed to.

At the bottom side, we stumble into two standoff feet so that you can position the keyboard angled upwards. Is there any person who does not use this? As stated lacking on the backside is the USB HUB.

The included wrist rest is a cheaper plastics one, compared to the premium version you see on say the K100. It works well though, nicely rugged and easy to attach and detach.

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.
