Keyboards & Mice III : Corsair

Hello everyone!

It will be a short post today as I will be reviewing the gaming peripherals Corsair (www.corsair.com) has to offer. Corsair is new in the gaming peripherals market but they have come out with some interesting options for you to consider. So without further ado...

Mice:

Vengeance M60:

Featuring a 5700DPI laser sensor, the M60 is Corsair's envisioning of an FPS Mouse. Ergonomic design and a dedicated sniper button means you can play longer and lower your DPI at the touch of the button. Also features weight adjust-ability and lift detection. The blue LED also looks cool without being too bright. You can adjust DPI in increments of 100

Type: Wired
Interface: USB
Tracking Method: Laser
Buttons: 8
Maximum DPI: 5700
Price: US$ 69.99 (On Corsair's website)



Vengeance M90:

The MMO/RTS brother of the M60, the M90 also sports the same 5700 DPI laser sensor. It boasts 15 programmable buttons and enough memory to store six profiles (50 profiles through software.) Button placing might be an issue for some and the software isn't exactly the most intuitive one ever created.

Type: Wired
Interface: USB
Tracking Method: Laser
Buttons: 15
Maximum DPI: 5700
Price: US$ 79.99


 Keyboards:

Vengeance K60:

The Keyboard counterpart to the M60 mouse, the K60 is a mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX Red  switches (for more about mechanical keyboards, please visit this post.) Contoured, textured WASD and 1-6 Keycaps with the option of replacing them with regular keys for general usage, it also features 20-key rollover, brushed aluminium chassis and ergonomic wrist rest. Multimedia controls and a USB port in the back for added convenience. Price US$ 109.99





 Vengeance K90:

Designed with MMO/RTS gaming in mind, the K90 features 18 customizable G-Keys, 20KRO, laser etched backlit keys, software for creating up to 50 profiles and 36Kb of memory to store profiles and customizations. Easy access multimedia controls, USB-pass through and soft-touch wrist rest make this a well rounded keyboard. Price: US$ 129.99







As Corsair is still relatively new to gaming peripherals, these four are the choices you have. Personally I would take the M60 and K90 combination as I feel having that many buttons (both on keyboard and on mouse) would be too confusing for me. I would get the comfort of the M60 with extra buttons of the K90. Also M90 has a claw grip so for those who are comfortable with that, go for it. The downside is that the software provided by Corsair is not as user-friendly as you would hope, however the quality and finish of these products do make up for that shortcoming somewhat.

That is all for this post.
Kiyoshi Out!
