Hands-On
Hold on to your seats gaming enthusiasts, Corsair just unleashed an onslaught of Vengeance series peripherals aimed at helping you dominate that Call of Duty marathon... and we got our hands on all of 'em. There's a lot to cover, so we'll get right to it. The K60 gamer keyboard boasts Cherry MX Red interchangeable keys for rapid fire, 20-key rollover, windows key lock and crazy fast reporting rate at 1000 reports per second. Its companion, the M60 mouse, implements an Avago 5670 DPI sensor, adjustable center of gravity, custom lift detection and high-mass scroll wheel. In addition to all that, this bad boy features a dedicated sniper button which allows you to hone in on your target that much faster. Read on for the full rundown on the goods.

What's that? You're more of an MMO or RTS gamer? No worries, Corsair's got you covered there as well with the K90 and M90 keyboard / mouse combo. The keypad (pictured above) houses several of the same features of the aforementioned K60 with the addition of backlit, icy blue LEDs and 18 programmable macro keys with three separate banks. You read that right -- 54 independent macros will be at your disposable should you need them. Not to be outdone, the M90 laser mouse has 15 customizable buttons of its own that take cues from six unique profiles that can be selected mid-game and many of the stellar options from the M60 FPS clicker. All of the above will be available in October -- the keyboards will set you back $129 (K90) and $99 (K60), while the mice will be priced at $99 (M90) and $79 (M60), respectively.
If you're needing a headset to go along with your new peripheral duo, the outfit has your back there as well with its Vengeance 1500, 1300, and 1100. Both the 1500 and 1300 cans feature 50mm drivers, 3D positional audio, and a noise-canceling cardioid microphone. While the former connects via USB and provides both 7.1 and 5.1 Dolby Headphone positional audio, the latter analog set makes use of dual 3.5mm jacks. Last but not least, the 1100 implements both of the previously mentioned connections for flawless compatibility, 40mm drivers and a mic that won't pick up all of your top-secret background chatter. Also hitting retailers next month, the trio will cost you $99, $79 and $39 from top to bottom. Catch all that? If not, don't fret, just peek at the galleries or the video below for all the minutiae.
