SUPER Low Latency Wireless Peripherals - Corsair

The video showcases Corsair’s first generation of wireless peripherals introduced at CES 2018, focusing on a cohesive wireless ecosystem that aims to reduce cable clutter with near wired performance. The K63 wireless mechanical keyboard uses Cherry MX Red switches and is advertised as fully wireless with an out-of-the-box latency of about one millisecond when connected via a 2.4 GHz dongle, and roughly seven milliseconds over Bluetooth, with backlighting capable of lasting up to 15 hours in its default state. The keyboard is 10-keyless and designed to snap into a lapboard accessory for a portable, all-in-one setup that includes a fabric mouse mat and a wrist rest grip. Corsair also introduces the Dark Core RGB SE wireless gaming mouse, which features a customizable grip texture and a 16,000 DPI sensor, promising a one-millisecond latency as well as up to 24 hours of battery life with RGB enabled. The video demonstrates how the mouse pad, charging dock, and Qi-based charging interact, including a wireless charging corner on the MM1000 mouse mat and a separate dongle for non-compatible devices, while highlighting the overall goal of a streamlined, plug-and-play gaming experience. Pricing is discussed in detail, with the keyboard at about 109.99, the wireless dock around 59.99, and the Dark Core mouse plus charging dock priced separately, showing Corsair’s bundle strategy and targeting a broader CES audience hungry for wireless, high-performance peripherals. The presenter closes by praising the form factor improvements over previous Corsair designs, noting practical use at the show and inviting viewers to check the links for purchase, while contrasting the wireless approach with traditional wired setups and emphasizing the potential for a more ergonomic, cable-free gaming desk.
