We don’t need an excuse to buy gaming products; it doesn’t take much arm-twisting to convince us to stock up, just some good deals. But if you’re looking for both (an excuse AND deals), Corsair has you covered with a whole bunch of back-to-school specials. These are real discounts, and some of them are pretty big.
Starting off simple, if it’s a mechanical keyboard you’re after as you head back to the dorm room, you can make off with
Corsair’s K70 Core RGB, which is on sale for
$49.99 at Corsair (save $50). That’s a 50% discount over MSRP, and $30 below the lowest price we could find on Amazon.
This is a mechanical plank with pre-lubricated Corsair MLX Red linear key switches, which means you can expect smooth key presses. We wouldn’t say they’re necessarily quiet, but they’re definitely a more polite choice for a dorm room setting than intentionally clicky key switches.
You’re also looking at a full-size keyboard with a dedicated number pad. It’s durable, too, with an aluminum top plate and double-shot ABS key caps that Corsair says “won’t crack under pressure,” in case you’ve ever had a problem with cracking keys.
One of the deepest discounts available right now is for
Corsair’s HS65 Surround Wired Gaming Headset, which is
discounted to $19.99 (save $50). That’s a 71% savings, and again, it’s $30 below the lowest street price we could find on Amazon.
Corsair’s HS65 features Dolby Audio 7.1 surround sound, an adjustable headband with microfiber and leatherette-wrapped memory foam earpads, metal construction for durability, an on-ear volume roller, and a flip-to-mute microphone.
It connects via 3.5mm and/or USB, making it compatible with PC, Mac, consoles, and mobile devices. That’s some decent versatility for what’s now a $20 headset.
This is really just the tip of the iceberg in terms of what Corsair is offering for sale. Here a few other highlights…
