Corsair is running a flash sale on its gaming peripherals and accessories, saving you up to $80 off the regular price of its gaming keyboards, mice, and headsets through March 31. Qatar Elite wireless mouse, K70 Pro RGB keyboardAnd Virtuoso RGB wireless headset are just some of the goods you’ll find on sale, but we’ve provided a more detailed list of personal recommendations below.
While these products are mainly aimed at PC gamers, we also have other platforms for you if you’re looking for the best Steam Deck accessories or the best Nintendo Switch accessories.
Deals on Corsair mice
Corsair’s lightweight wireless gaming mouse, the Katar Elite Wireless, usually costs $79.99, but is currently marked down to $49.99. The Katar Elite Wireless weighs a paltry 69 grams and is equipped with a 26K DPI optical sensor. The mouse can connect to your devices via Bluetooth or using the included 2.4 GHz wireless dongle. It features six buttons that can be reprogrammed in Corsair’s iCue software.
For a mouse that offers more features, you might want to check out the M65 RGB Ultra Wireless Mouse, which offers adjustable weights that can be applied to different areas of the mouse. Normally $129.99, Corsair has marked down the M65 in white to just $69.99. The M65 has a total of eight programmable buttons and a 26K DPI sensor. In addition, it can register four additional inputs by tilting the mouse in different directions. (Cool, right?) The standard weight of the M65 is 110 grams, but it can be adjusted to 128 grams using the included weights.
Corsair keyboard offers
The latest iteration of Corsair’s K70 Pro RGB gaming keyboard is currently available for just $99.99 (normally $179.99). The K70 Pro RGB is available with a variety of Cherry MX switches at different price points, but the configuration that uses Corsair’s OPX optical switch offers the best value and cheapest price.
The full-size backlit keyboard features a brushed aluminum top plate, PBT keycaps and USB pass-through for accessories. In addition, it has dedicated media controls and a detachable USB-C connector. The K70 is equipped with a polling rate of 8,000 Hz, in case the usual 1,000 Hz wasn’t fast enough for you. My favorite feature of the K70 Pro, though, is the raised switches, which make it easy to get rid of all the grossness that usually accumulates under people’s keys.
Corsair is also discounting the customizable, smaller keyboard at 60 percent, the K70 Pro Mini Wireless. The white version of the keyboard is currently on sale for $99.99 (normally $179.99), but you can also find the black model for $109.99. Each version of the K70 Pro Mini is available with Cherry MX Red or Speed switches, and most notably all have a hot-swappable circuit board, making them compatible with a wide variety of aftermarket switches if you want something a little more personal.
The keyboard is equipped with Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity, making it compatible with a wide variety of consoles and mobile devices in addition to PC, and can last up to 32 hours on a single charge with the RGB lighting turned on.
For a keyboard that looks cool but is a bit more budget-friendly, Corsair offers the K55 RGB Pro XT for $49.99 instead of $79.99. The K55 is a membrane keyboard, which might be off putting to some, but they offer water resistance and are much quieter than their mechanical counterparts. Equipped with six macro keys in addition to the standard 104-key layout, the K55 also features dedicated media controls and per-key RGB lighting, like some of the more expensive options in the Corsair catalog.
Deals on Corsair headsets
Corsair’s Virtuoso RGB wireless headset is a stylish lady. It’s normally $199.99, but you can currently pick up this hot date of a headset in pearl white for just $129.99. The Virtuoso RGB wireless can connect to devices via USB-C, 3.5mm audio jack or using the included 2.4 GHz wireless dongle. The leatherette ear cushions are accentuated by a sturdy aluminum frame, customizable RGB Corsair logos and a flexible (and removable) microphone boom. The Virtuoso supports virtual 7.1 surround sound over a wireless connection and is capable of Hi-Fi 24-bit audio over the USB-C connection.
If Xbox is your platform of choice, you might be interested in the Xbox-exclusive HS75 XB wireless headset for $89.99, which is $60 off the usual price. The Dolby Atmos-enabled HS75 has a slick design, with plush leatherette earcups and headband, a detachable boom mic and on-ear controls for chat mixing and volume. The HS75 can connect directly to Xbox consoles without the need for a dongle, and can game for up to 20 hours on a single battery charge. The HS75 is intended for use with Xbox consoles only, but can also be used with PCs if you have an Xbox wireless adapter handy.
Offers on Corsair accessories
Finally, if you want to refresh the aesthetics of your mechanical keyboard, you can find everything too Corsair’s PBT double-shot keycap sets on sale for just $9.99 instead of their usual $29.99. Each 104-key set comes in red, blue, green, pink, or black, and the keys are compatible with any keyboard that uses Cherry MX switches and has a standard bottom row. PBT keycaps are generally more resistant to wear and look better than the more common ABS keycaps used with some mechanical keyboards.
