Corsair K63 and K63 Lapboard Combo
Corsair released a range of new wireless products at CES 2018. The Corsair K63 is the company’s first wireless keyboard in the form of a tenkeyless mechanical keyboard.

The keyboard has per-key backlighting and supports the Corsair Utility Engine (CUE) software, while boasting of delivering up to 75 hours of rechargeable battery life.
Along with the K63, Corsair also launched the K63 Lapboard Combo to make it easier to use in your living room. All you need to do is insert the keyboard in the lapboard and you’re good to go. The lapboard consists of memory foam cushion underneath to make it comfortable on your lap. It also comes with a mouse pad on the right side so that you can use your mouse on the lapboard itself. The K63 Wireless keyboard and K63 Lapboard Combo is available for $110 and $160 respectively.
Corsair Dark Core RGB and Dark Core RGB SE

There are three zones lit with RGB lighting that can be controlled using the CUE software. Due to so much lighting and a polling rate of 1,000 Hz, the Dark Core RGB lasts for up to 24 hours in a single charge.
For those who don’t want to deal with wires at all, the Dark Core RGB SE comes with Qi wireless charging compatibility. The features of this mouse is the same as the Dark Core RGB with additional support for Qi charging. Although it comes with the option of a wired connection, you can charge the mouse with the Corsair MM1000 Qi wireless charging mousepad or rather any Qi wireless charger.
