Review: Corsair Gaming Keyboards and Mice Attack with a Vengeance

Packaging and Accessories

When it comes to accessories, Corsair has gone ultra-light and has not put an emphasis on the packaging or accessories. After all, these peripherals are technically accessories themselves.







The keyboards come in large, fully recyclable boxes (partially made of recycled materials) with lots of information as well as the basics of the keyboards. In the case of the K60 this refers to the wrist rest, extra keys and the key removal tool. With the K90, it refers the full length wrist rest and the necessary attachment hardware for it. Both keyboards come with a very short manual and warranty pamphlet. All drivers are downloaded from Corsair's website and reduce unnecessary waste in the form of CDs. This move makes sense considering that drivers are always being updated and a disc will likely become outdated almost immediately.





The mice are similarly packaged with lots of information on the packaging and with minimal actual accessories. Both mice come with a quick start guide and warranty pamphlet. Both boxes are recyclable, so we are proud of Corsair's choice to be environmentally conscious with their packaging and their move towards a more Spartan packaging for accessories which should be emulated by other companies. The best packaging for today's gaming accessories tends to be less is more. Protect the product and minimize the impact on the environment, and possibly save some money in the process.
