Corsair today launched Corsair Gaming, a new division within the company dedicated to the elevation of PC gaming and the development of PC peripherals. The first products coming out from Corsair's new division is the color-customizable, 16.8 million color backlighting, K95 RGB, K70 RGB, and K65 RGB keyboards. They all use German-made Cherry MX RGB mechanical key switches as part of Corsair's exclusive-to-launch partnership with Cherry.

Corsair Utility Engine (CUE) software enables the creation of unlimited lighting effects and macros, from solid colors that can highlight key groupings, to smooth gradients, dramatic waves and captivating ripple patterns. These customization options let gamers match their PC system lighting, find gaming keys faster, and provide visual feedback for executing in-game objectives.

All three support complete macro programmability on any key, with the K95 RGB offering an additional array of 18 dedicated macro keys and dedicated media-keys. In contrast, the compact 10-keyless K65 RGB removes the number pad and media keys for a desk-space-saving design, while the K70 RGB offers the standard keyboard layout and media keys:
