Packaging and Accessories

CORSAIR operates a web shop in the USA. However, this sample came from a marketing hub, so we begin with a look at the product packaging. I was surprised by the relatively petite shipping box it came in though, but this made sense once I had the keyboard box in my hands and removed the unnecessary plastic wrap covering it. As with recent CORSAIR products, I am happy to see the predominant sickly yellow color be banished to the shadow realm and we get a black base on the front with the company logo, product name, and a large render of the keyboard when lit up with RGB. We also see more specific information of the keyboard SKU inside, including language, supported systems, and the switch type employed. Marketing notes and technical specifications in multiple languages adorn the other sides and back, where we also see more renders and specific features advertised, in addition to contact info for the company.


Two seals on the side keep the contents in place during transit as seen above. Removing them, we note the use of a two-piece packaging system, with the lid easily lifting upwards and away to allow direct access to the keyboard - which comes with a plastic dust cover on top, useful when the keyboard is on your desk but not in use. It also ensures a dust-free unboxing experience with the various accessories placed in a bottom compartment. This includes a warranty guide and safety/disposal information note, with CORSAIR opting to go the QR code route for the product manual, accessible online after scanning. A cutout in this cardboard layer hosts the detachable keyboard cable that goes from male USB Type-A to male Type-C which hints towards the use of Type-A connectivity on the keyboard itself.
