The new M65, M95, and K95 Corsair Vengeance peripherals bring a lot of things to the table that fans of Corsair have been asking for, they listened and delivered! More colours, higher sensitivity, and the most custom backlight ever! Day 2 - video 14
The Corsair Vengeance family gets a comprehensive CES 2013 showcase, highlighting updates across the M65, M95, and K95 peripherals. Linus Tech Tips walks through subtle but meaningful refinements to Corsair’s mice and keyboard, emphasizing improved button actuation and a newly introduced dead zone that makes it easier to guide the cursor and trigger side buttons without unintended presses. The M95 and M65 are shown in multiple finishes, including Black, Stormtrooper White, and a military green variant, with matte side textures designed to reduce slipperiness and improve grip. Alongside mice, Corsair updates the Vengeance line with a 8200 DPI laser sensor for sharper precision, and they introduce a hard mouse mat, the MM600, featuring a dual-surface design with a hexagonal pattern on the smoother side for enhanced control. The centerpiece is the K95 keyboard, which expands Corsair’s claim to customization with Cherry MX Red switches across the board, three macro profile banks, and a per-key backlight system that lets users toggle lighting on individual keys for different applications or personal branding. In addition to macro and lighting customization, the K95 includes a Windows key lock and media controls, reflecting a strong focus on both gaming performance and everyday practicality. Linus also notes the broader Corsair ecosystem, with updates to the Vengeance 1500/2000 headsets via Dolby enhancements and a software-based lighting pipeline for per-key and per-profile customization, encouraging users to experiment with lighting, macros, and color schemes to optimize their setups. The overall takeaway is that Corsair is pushing for deeper customization, better tactile feedback, and more cohesive hardware aesthetics, all packaged with CES 2013’s high-energy showcase and Linus’s quick, hands-on demonstrations.
