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. A plastic wrap covers the packaging, which I maintain is not very practical, and removing it shows off the product box in more detail. The radioactive yellow continues its detested presence here (yes, CORSAIR, I will continue to hate on it), but otherwise, the packaging design is similar to recent CORSAIR gaming products from the last couple of years. On the front is a textured pattern with yellow triangles along with the company logo and product name and a large render of the keyboard all lit up. We also see more specific information of the keyboard SKU inside, including language and region, which continues on the side. Marketing features and technical specifications in multiple languages adorn the other sides and the back with more renders. Two seals and double flap keep the contents inside in place during transit.


Opening the box, we see the keyboard tucked between cardboard on all sides for protection during transit. Underneath, we have the associated paperwork consisting of a user manual that can also be found online and the generic safety information on usage and disposal that is mandated by law in some regions. The keyboard cable itself is tucked inside a separate cardboard compartment, which is also where you will see the wrist rest that comes in more plastic wrap.


We do not get the plush memory foam wrist rest here, and the included one is a soft-textured plastic wrist rest with the updated CORSAIR aesthetic, including the CORSAIR name and yellow box on front. The top surface is hard enough not to be mistaken as a soft-touch plastic, but will do the job just fine. There are three rubber pads on the underside to add friction against the resting surface, as well as two plastic clips for installation with the keyboard, which we will get to soon.
