Product Showcase

The underside is molded plastic with multiple cable routing channels (shaped in X with an additional horizontal line) to keep your desk looking tidy.

The keyboard has foldable stands. They don’t have a rubbery finish, unfortunately.

On the left side, there are three buttons: to change the profile, the intensity of the backlight (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%), and the Windows key lock.

You can find the volume roller (a mechanical one that adjusts the volume in 2% steps) and four media keys on the right of the product (with a separate button for muting).

At the top center part of the keyboard - you can find a Corsair logo and the LED indicators of Win Lock, Num Lock, Caps Lock, and Scroll lock.

Unfortunately, there is no USB pass-through at the back. Next to the USB port is a switch we have seen with the K70 RGB TKL CHAMPION. It activates "Tournament Mode," which disables macros and custom actions to prevent any cheating in gaming tournaments, changes backlighting to a single static color, and only allows profile switching compatible with tournament regulations.

The keys are well exposed, and a can of compressed air should do the job as far as cleaning is concerned. You can also see that the keycaps are made of the PBT, which is more durable and has the “dry” and grippy feeling even after extended use, opposed to the ABS. It is possible thanks to the plastic composition (average wall thickness 1.5 mm), and Doubleshot injected.

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.
