Product Showcase

The core and fundamental features of a keyboard like the in the K series from corsair, always have had that same look and feel. It is no different for the K57 despite it being wireless, has Capellix LEDs and of course is membrane-based. Obviously, the packaging has changed to suit the professional Corsair line of products with the logo. And yeah, wireless man, on a full battery charge you can reach (advertised) 175 hours of continuous use with no backlighting. At level 1 brightness (33%) you get 35 hours go time, 20 hours on level 2 (67% brightness), and 8 hours at max brightness, which is not even pleasant to the eyes really. So for anything with RGB, these are good values. The wireless features a 128-bit AES encryption as well, so everything you send and receive has a layer of encrypted protection.

Unpacking shows the bundle kit, the keyboard, wrist rest and a manual/warranty guide. The K57 RGB Wireless is marketed as a gaming keyboard. The RGB back-lights can be dimmed colored and even configured on a per-key basis. We'll show you the keyboard powered on over the next few pages of course. As with Function key combinations, you can change lighting options.

If the right side numeric keys weren't chopped off and hey now, we get six G keys for some profile and macro fun. The keyboard weighs in at 0.95 kg / 2.09 lbs and, made out of a plastic base with a dark cover. The looks definitely share the same DNA 'feel' of Corsairs keyboards, there are subtle changes and differences though.

Here you can see the deeply immerged LED backlighting, configurable, of course.

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.
