Corsair M55 RGB Pro mouse
Among the best of Corsairs RGB mid-range gaming weaponry?

In this article, we review the Corsair M55 RGB Pro Gaming mouse. It’s a mouse from a somewhat lower segment of the market than the M65 RGB Elite, which we reviewed back in January. It’s a mainstream range and priced product that can attract quite a few customers. As the name suggests, it has RGB lighting (with iCUE compatibility, so you can configure the RGB LEDs yourself). But is that all? Not really, as you’ll find that the product also has a 12,400 DPI optical sensor. The device is pleasing aesthetically, and it’s not the flashy ”gaming” kind, but rather an elegant product. With a weight of 86g, it’s quite light as well.

Versatile Ambidextrous Design: Play at your highest level with either hand using your most comfortable grip, be it palm, claw, or fingertip.
Precision to Win: Take control over your gaming thanks to a 12,400 DPI optical sensor for high-accuracy tracking.
Weighs Just 86g: Incredibly lightweight construction lets you play effortlessly at your top form for hours.
Built to Last: Durable construction featuring 50 million click-rated Omron switches and a premium braided cable gives the M55 RGB PRO the strength to withstand years of intense gaming sessions.
Eight Fully Programmable Buttons: Create an in-game advantage with powerful macros and button remaps.
Simple Plug-and-Play Setup: Ready to game right out of the box—just plug in through a USB port and start taking down the competition.
Intelligent Control, Unlimited Possibilities: Powerful CORSAIR iCUE software lets you switch from left to right-handed mode, customize macros and button remaps, control and synchronize RGB lighting across all compatible CORSAIR devices, adjust DPI settings, and more.
Dynamic RGB Backlighting: Illuminated by dynamic, customizable RGB LED backlighting with dozens of customizable presets and effects.
Switch DPI on the Fly: Swap between five separate DPI settings at the click of a button, all customizable within CORSAIR iCUE software.

The Corsair M55 RGB Pro mouse has been fitted with a Pixart PAW3327 gaming-grade optical sensor, which is rated up to 12,4K DPI, and has a polling rate of 1000 Hz. Yes, that’s very, very high, and not necessarily useful in daily applications. This is a mouse that’s suitable for gamers, and Corsair uses the phrase “game-winning versatility with an ambidextrous design” to promote this piece of hardware. The M55 RGB Pro has two-zone RGB color customization and a total of eight programmable buttons. What’s the most important here besides the 12.4K DPI sensor? The fact that it’s a very versatile, ambidextrous design that will work with any grip or palm size. But will it be ok for a guy who’s 6'7" tall?

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 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.
