During the CES 2017 convention in Las Vegas, Corsair introduced several new products for gamers including a new flagship mechanical keyboard, a new gaming mouse, a new Bulldog barebones PC, and new power supplies. Everything mentioned is available to purchase now, save for the mechanical keyboard which arrives in late January.

The K95 RGB Platinum Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

It comes packed with Cherry MX switches, allowing customers to choose between the low-travel Cherry MX RGB Speed switch, or go with tactile feedback using a Cherry MX RGB Brown switch.

　　The keyboard includes 8MB of local storage for housing custom key assignments, macros, and multi-layer reactive lighting profiles. The storage can save up to three profiles, which can be customized using the Corsair Utility Engine software. Additionally, the six dedicated macro keys are textured and contoured so that they are easily found in heated moments and easily avoided when not needed.

　　In addition to per-key dynamic multicolor backlighting, the new keyboard introduces LightEdge, a 19-zone light bar that stretches from one end of the keyboard to the other. According to Corsair, this bar can match the colors used with the keys, or illuminate separately. Some of the effects include a solid color, RGB waves, and a “menacing visor” of light (think Cylon).

　　Here is a list of additional features and specifications:

The Scimitar Pro RGB Gaming Mouse

Image used with permission by copyright holderHere is a mouse for right-handed PC gamers (lefties barely get any love) packing 12 mechanical buttons crammed into its left side. There are four columns of four buttons each, with the second and fourth columns sporting buttons with a textured surface. The peripheral even includes a light parked to the left of the multi-button area so gamers can easily target their thumb’s destination in the dark.

　　That said, the mouse is based on Corsair’s “Key Slider 12” side-button design. That means users can actually reposition the 12-button area by up to 8mm to provide the best tactical advantage. The mouse also provides onboard storage that includes three pre-configured, customizable profiles combining MOBA/MMO commands with standard keyboard shortcuts. Overall, there are 17 programmable buttons that can be configured using the Corsair Utility Engine software, making the Scimitar Pro RGB mouse perfect for MMO and MOBA gamers.

　　Powering this mouse is a 16,000 DPI optical sensor from Pixart (PMW3367). The sensor is capable of tracking down to 1 DPI steps, which can be configured through Corsair’s utility and adjusted on the fly using the two physical buttons on top of the mouse. The utility includes a surface calibration feature too so that users can optimize the mouse sensitivity for the desired playing surface.

　　Here’s a list of additional features and specs:

It’s the insides that received an upgrade, packing a Mini-ITX Intel Z270 motherboard provided by MSI that supports Intel’s new seventh-generation Core processors. The board also supports up to 32GB of DDR4 system memory and USB 3.1 connectivity.

　　In addition to the motherboard, the new Bulldog barebones kit comes with a 600-watt 80 Plus Gold certified power supply, and Corsair’s new H6 SF cooler for overclocking Intel K-series processors.
