Corsair

Premium feel, great for large hands – The Corsair Ironclaw RGB is a fantastic mouse, I have had mine for about a year now and it is still in great conditions, buttons all work perfectly,… Read more

theres no ghosting or stuttering.

As always with corsair peripherals, it has a braided fabric non detachable USB cord, a premium plastic housing and large anti friction pads on the bottom. it has plenty of grip focused surfaces, the upside is it actually works, without being a rubber that wears overtime, the downside is its a magnet for dirt and grit, especially if you eat whilst using it. due to the way the grips are carved its quite a tedious mission to clean it, although i find myself having to do it max once every 3 months or so, which isnt too bad.

It has a light weight and simple design with 4 custom mappable buttons, the side buttons are great for MOBA and FPS gameplay however the top two buttons are reserved for profile and dps switching. Whilst the location of the buttons isnt the biggest issue in the world, it is easy to knock, especially when going from typing back to holding the mouse, so definitely be wary of that. The best way to counter this is if you have a combination of Corsair Mouse and Keyboard, most of Corsairs lineup of keyboards come with a RGB, Profile switch and a lock button, this means you can remap the mouse key and dont have to worry about accidentally switching profiles.

All in all aside from the only fault of being able to change profiles by accident, I cannot fault this mouse, it is super comfortable in hand and super accurate on most surfaces. I highly recommend it to anyone who struggles with the more main stream options which can be too slimline or low for larger hands, the ironclaw fills most hands very well.

room for a 360mm/240mm/140mm/280mm AIO, having 8 fans capable, tempered glass, rubber inserts for threading chords.3x3.5" HDD 5x2.5" HDD/SSD caddies, 2 sectional, tool less design - manufacturers web site will show you more in regards to what I can write.

I just completed a build in it, wow big job with the amount of wires, cord management was good but could have been better. It comes with a Corsair Lightening Node Core and Pro and wish they actually had these not installed prior hand so I could have changed the layout to them. I am currently running the PC now, full set up with 360mm AIO 3 140mm fans and 5 120mm fans (note to mention, it would be better not to get a 360mm AIO and run all 140mm fans with a 280mm AIO)

Definitely recommend

Good Cooling, But Does It Need To Be So Complex? – This is an All-In-One CPU water cooler which does a perfectly acceptable job of keeping temperatures under control, but it's a pig to install. The… Read more

problem is neither the pump (which has multiple CPU compatibility) nor is it the radiator (easy mounting into standard case holes), the problem is with the wiring.

Why has Corsair decided to make the wiring so complex? Usually, the pump is just connected to SATA or MOLEX and it simply pumps at full speed, circulating the coolant around the system. In addition to this, usually the fan/s (which are attached to the radiator) are connected to the CPU fan pins on the motherboard - when the CPU temperature increases, the fans speed up to pull the temperature back down. It's as simple as that.

This AIO needs a SATA connector to the pump, as well as a 4-pin connector to the motherboard. In addition to this, the fans need another 4 pin connector to the motherboard. Because this particular model is RGB, the fans require an additional connection to the RGB controller (whether it be onboard or stand-alone). After making all of the connections, you then need to configure it correctly. The pump 4 pin connector needs to be connected to the CPU fan pins and the radiator fans need to be connected to a different set of pins. Ideally, you could connect the pump and fans all to the CPU fan pins and everything would speed up / slow down at the same time, but the required connectors are not supplied to do this.

The reason that you don't want your fans running at full speed is because they make a lot of noise, but this is not the case with the coolant pump - there's no real difference in noise whether at minimum or maximum speed. I don't get the benefit of this configuration.

Overall, it cools the CPU just fine, it is just a mess to set up. I'll stick to Thermaltake next time.

Nice headset but needs improving – First off I was deciding whether I should go a 3 with the review, as will follow soon to why Ok the Corsair HS75 XB headsets are really just… Read more

designed for the Xbox consoles, yes they can be connected to a PC but its a little bit complicated in explaining how (youtube it) Fristly I am going to state why I gave it 4 out of 5 and that is purely due to them having ATMOS drivers built into them (i am yet to try the mic). The sound is fantastic, clear depths of game immersion, high mids and lows, They do really sound fantastic and very impressed and this is the main reason why I am giving it a 4. I wished and hoping that Corsair reads my review and really applies themselves to my constructive critic I will be applying here. I cannot mention the mic as of yet, because I have not done any chats yet, I got them today.

These are the reasons why I would go down to a 3 but sound quality was too good that jumped it upto 4, I wished it was a 5 due to sound quality but alas. The build quality is not fantastic, placing them on my head, and moving my head they tend to slide, they do not grasp to your head (maybe bigger heads but mine they actually are rather loose) The loose feeling is not enjoyable as you notice it immediately, the ear pieces should be more flexible as in turning, the mic would have been better if it was designed into the headset rather than a jack into socket, or the socket was placed in a different area as where they are positioned i do feel they can become easily damaged. It feels like a cheaply made, they are not cheap and mid range market though but the materials feel cheap and the next part, presentation, they could have had better boxing. So please Corsair make these more to what they are now

The price you pay for these is between 230 dollars to 280 dollars depending upon where you go, I do believe the dongle for the PC should be in the box for the price also

I do love the fact with connecting with the Xbox Series X/S that they are simple, they connect without a dongle - BONUS, they pair with the console super easy, BONUS (its exactly like connecting a controller) - you will need to have activated the ATMOS for headsets for them.

What I would really like to see from Corsair, is upgrade their design a little bit, give them swivel earpieces, have a bit more premium feel to them in materials, make them more snug to place on the head and presentation in the box as well and supply the dongle for PC connection - the complaints I have are not much, and the complaints/critic I have doesn't outweigh the sound quality - the only thing I do know about the mic is from others and they do sound good.

Do recommend the headsets to buyers, they are good quality lacking some of the finer aspects in build quality and not overpriced

This mouse is a great accessory for casual users – I purchased this mouse to go with my Corsair Strafe MKII gaming keyboard. Numerous stores were visited where I could try out mice in my hands,… Read more

gripping, rolling them, seeing how the buttons felt, where buttons were, etc etc.

The Corsair Glaive Pro won out.

It has a few lighted areas (but not overkill) so you can sync it with other Corsair accessories or just on its own.

The center wheel is like a mini LEGO tyre. It feels great, rolls great, and is placed in such a perfect location for my fingers to operate.

The two primary buttons are also comfortably placed for my grip.

There's another button behind the center wheel that adjusts the DPI. I'm probably doing it wrong, but what I've found (and actually LIKE) is when I push the buttons to increase/decrease the DPI, the speed of my laptop's mouse point increase/decreases respectively! There are five levels of DPI this mouse can be adjusted to, which lights to indicate which one you're on. I tend to keep it on level "2"; when I "feel the need for speed", I click the appropriate button and bump it up to level 3 or 4. Whammo! My mouse pointer starts moving almost faster than the speed of electricity. :-)

The other nice, and often understated feature, is the button grips that come included. Where the right-thumb is placed, there are 3 panels to choose from, attached to the mouse via good magnets. It allows you to find the grip that is even more perfect for how you rest your thumb.

The sides of the mouse are nicely tectured too so if you have sweaty fingers, you won't have to worry about losing your grip.

Lastly, the mouse is still clean. After at least 6 weeks of using it, there's no print, "oil" stains, or anything else.

At $100 non-gamers might think it's quite steep especially since it's not wireless. But overall, with the comfort, ease of use of the buttons, the apparent build quality, and that I can configure it to fit and sync with my Corsair Keyboard, I would recommend.

This is a follow up review of the Corsair // K55 gaming keyboard, first reviewed on 28 Aug 2021 – After daily use since purchase, I got used to the fact that all keys which required a shift to get an alternate character (like 1; ! 5; % etc) were… Read more

upside down on the actual keyboard and it hasn't presented with much of a problem. What has happened though which is more disturbing is that certain keys have developed a 'bounce'. That is, they print a number of times with a single key-press. The keys doing this are the 'a' and the 'f' on the alpha keyboard and the '9' on the numeric keyboard. This is a major problem as I don't always visually check what I have typed. It may be perculiar to my keyboard or it may occur across the range.

use. I took it back to JB Hi-FI and they replaced it on the spot with no issues.

Its a good mouse for me, it fits my hand well, and it light weight. My last mouse was a bit big and made my hand ache with prolonged use, this one is a good size for a female.

It's wireless, but can be used plugged in. DPI cycle button is in a convenient place. I love the middle click wheel button, it has a total of 5 buttons (including the left and right clicks), enough for my game. The data cable is covered with a woven cloth, lol I find this easy to trace my mouse cord back to the the USB port on my computer. I use it plugged in all the time. But could go cordless if I chose. The USB receiver plug is stored in the bottom of the mouse.

I think I was just unlucky that my first one was faulty. The replacement one is great. And the warrantee started again.

Horrible quality – Purchased a K69 RGB keyboard on the 23rd August 2023 with its normal 2 year warranty and JB HI FI’s extra care warranty of 2 years, and within a few… Read more

weeks of use like YouTube and gaming a few of the keycaps have broken/split from the stem. I don’t know how many more keys have actually broken. Also the finish on the keyboard is slightly deteriorating after clean it as per what the manual states which is a little bit of isopropyl alcohol and a soft cloth. Contacted Corsair about this and told them about my issue. I've been told by the representative that it's out of the 60 day, original purchase date in order to get a new keyboard and I would need to use the replacement keycap form (which doesn't show the option for keycaps). But then again the finish on the keyboard is deteriorating. Can't take it back to the store for a replacement as Corsair have apparently discontinued the K90.

This is quite an act of deception – Well the write up is like this: The CORSAIR Flash Voyager®, family of USB drives are rugged, stylish, compact, and reliable, making them ideal for… Read more

transporting MP3s, digital images, presentations and more. Flash Voyager drives are fully Plug and Play with most operating systems and are backward compatible with USB 1.1.

And

The Flash Voyager and Flash Voyager GTR are enclosed in the Corsair proprietary all-rubber housing.

Boasting water-resistant properties, these drives allow users to carry more valuable data and applications without compromise. Several reviews of the Flash Voyager products have demonstrated the ruggedness, durability, and reliability of the Flash Voyager family. The Flash Voyager has been shown laundered, baked, frozen, boiled, dropped, and even run over by a SUV in many third party reviews. After all the punishment it receives, the drive continues to work.

Well I had hardly ever used it - and only for backing up a few vital bits and then losing for a few years here or there... I really mean I had only used it like 5 x in 5 years...

And I pulled it out to do some transfers.. and Lo and Behold - the file system had corrupted, I repaired that, and amongst the "hoo haa" and dramas, I had tried to copy 500 small files onto it and half an hour later only 12 files were on it... and after much ado... I figured that the "Highly Prized and Much Covetted Flash Drive" has simply died....

Well so be it.

So rather than just toss it out and risk "The meaning of life" falling into the wrong hands, I decided to manually wring it's neck - and what I found was:

I was expecting a thick rubber sheathing to be around a very strong steel inner jacket, which contained the circuit board and USB plug.

But what I found was a rubber jacket, around nothing more than a long circuit board, and with very little effort I was able to break up the internals into about 6 or 7 chunks of circuit board and components.

I thought, "This is just crap- and contrary to the "Ever So Tough" - can be run over and keeps on going - this is exactly the worst sort of drive to keep in your back pocket - or to be stood on - because it will easily break.

The rubber sheathing and cap only give it a little bounce and water resistance - but other wise their whole marketing campaign is a total lie.

It's no harder to snap into pieces, inside the rubber sheath, than say 5 or 6 common house hold matches.... it's that easy.

When they LIE to you, and their great sales pitch is done just a substandard design, trumped up to be something it's not - then don't trust that company nor anything it says about any of it's products.

If they are prepared to lie to make sales - get rid of them.

Don't hire Corsair and don't use their products.

You'll Be Sorry – After reading a review from Corsair I bought the K70 Mk2 keyboard. They were raving about how good this keyboard is compared to the old version for… Read more

gamers Well, I've got both and believe me the old version is ten times better What did Corsair do to make it better for gamers? They made the keys smaller,

Great, absolutely great if you've got small fingers, unfortunately, I've got big fingers, and if you so much as not CENTERING your finger to hit the key right in the middle, you'll type in the keys either side of the key you want to type, very annoying when trying to type a letter or send an email

Good thing there wasn't a tree growing inb my computer troom, I wouydbv'e ewrrapped it artound tyhe truink by now. My God, what a totally useless keyboard, thios isd asn excam,ple. My next keyboard certainly will not be a Corsair

For a gamer where speed is essential, having small keys on a keyboard is well & truly taking a step backward My new Corsair Mk2 keyboard lasted 72 hrs, I went and dug out my old K2 keyboard

Easily one of the best gaming headsets I have ever used – Design and Build Quality: Corsair is known for its high-quality build, and the Virtuoso is no exception. The headset features a sleek and premium… Read more

design with attention to detail. They feel as good as they perform with the materials used from the RGB lighting behind those awesome aluminium ear pieces rather than the RGB RGB RGB!!11ty everywhere which seems to be the go to for most brands (including Corsair tbh) on their cheaper models. It just seems more adult / grown up if you know what I mean. I like the fact you can remove the mic, because I would happily wear these out and about to listen to music etc if I was traveling. Speaking of travel, the cables are all braided which means they should travel well without disintegrating easily and the padded travel bag is quite nice too. The only thing which I question is how long the leather pads and ear cups would last with constant use over the course of the next year. I used to use my Bose Comfort QCs a lot when I worked in the city and that super soft leather didnt last long.

Audio Quality: Out of the box for gaming it was great, especially in FPS. I believe out of the box it is actually set to FPS in the EQ. For music or movies however it sounded pretty bad. The fact it comes with a built in license for Dolby Atmos soon fixed that once it was enabled. It did however change the audio characteristics for gaming but unless you are a serious competitive gamer (those days are long over for me), it really doesn't make a difference. You can always just turn that off in your windows audio settings anyway.

Connectivity: You really do get it all with this headset. You can connect to wireless and Bluetooth at the same time. This can come in handy if you want to play games, watch a movie on your computer but still hear if your phone is getting a message etc. So yes, this will connect to pretty much anything from a PC to a Switch to a Phone and also comes with a USB and 3.5mm cable.

Microphone Quality: The 9.5mm microphone which is detachable is pretty solid quality. It has an LED ring on the end to tell you if the MIC is on (Green) or off (Red or White) and is customizable through the iCUE software. You can mute it through the button on the mic itself where you will be initially terrified if you don't know a voice will boomingly alert you to the option you just chose.

Comfort: Comfort is a priority, especially during long gaming sessions. The Virtuoso incorporates plush ear cushions and an adjustable headband to provide a comfortable fit for different head sizes. But in the XT model they have added more cushion to both the headband and the ear cups than the previous model which really does help a lot. They have also apparently lessened the clamping force from the previous model, but I wouldnt know that as I never used them, but I do know after wearing them for a couple of hours, they are pretty damn comfy.

Battery Life: Yeah this is probably the biggest flaw on these, the battery life is not the greatest. It should be plenty for a good solid gaming session, I believe 15 hours is what they are rated to, so they do require constant recharging, but they do say that this is expected when connecting to 2 devices at once. I just make sure that when not in use they are always plugged in. One thing that probably doesnt help is the lack of an actual on / off switch. Apparently you are meant to hold the mute button on the mic in for 10s (so yeah, you need to actually have it plugged in to turn it off). Really quite a puzzling move.

Summary: There really isn't a lot to dislike about them. They are an excellent headset and with the feature of being able to connect to 2 platforms and super comfortable. But they are quite expensive, retailing at around the $459 mark for Australia. But other than battery life and the price, I really cant fault them.

I've had this keyboard for nearly 4 years. It could have been a good experience, if not for these flaws: 1. The volume scroll "key" went bad after… Read more

2-3 years (with only occasional use; not heavy use). Attempting to lower the volume raises it to 100 instantly. It's not acceptable quality to have components needing repair within 2-3 years. 2. The removable USB-C power cord is a bigger problem and a terrible design flaw in my opinion. USB-C provides nearly zero benefit (keyboards with fixed power cords are similarly portable), but both the ports and cables can be easily bent and damaged. Mine loses power at the lightest touch of the cord (or even a heavy keystroke) and the port and/or cable need repair after less than 4 years.

My recommendation: stay away from keyboards with detachable power cords - especially USB-C. It's flimsy, leading to unreliable power delivery. Consumers should boycott USB-C.
