Corsair expands its gaming range with affordable keyboards and a wireless mouse, combining essential features with cost-effective design for entry-level players.
Corsair has widened its gaming line-up with two new entry-level keyboards and a wireless mouse aimed at buyers who want gaming features without paying premium prices. The Skiff 100 starts at €59.99, while the Skiff 100 Plus costs €69.99 and adds six programmable macro keys. Both are pitched as affordable options for players who want a fuller desktop setup without moving into the higher end of Corsair’s catalogue.
The two keyboards share a full-size layout, so they include a number pad as well as dedicated multimedia controls and a rotary dial for adjusting volume. Corsair has also fitted them with membrane switches rather than mechanical ones, a choice that should make them quieter in use. That may appeal to players who game late at night or simply prefer a softer typing feel. The keyboards also come with an IP53 rating against dust and splashes, 10-zone RGB lighting and a detachable wrist rest, although the fixed USB cable means they are less convenient to pack away.
The more expensive Skiff 100 Plus keeps the same basic design but adds the macro keys for users who want extra shortcuts in games or everyday software. Corsair is making a clear play for the budget segment here, especially for people who want a practical all-round keyboard rather than a feature-heavy model with a screen or hot-swappable switches.
The new mouse, the Harpoon V2 Wireless, is priced at €69.99 and sits alongside the keyboards as part of Corsair’s push into more accessible gaming gear. It features a 26,000 DPI sensor, six programmable buttons, three connectivity modes and battery life of up to 140 hours. The launch comes as Corsair continues to broaden its range at both ends of the market: Tom’s Hardware recently reported on a far more expensive Galleon 100 SD keyboard with an integrated Elgato Stream Deck, while the company also showed off a Nightsword v2 Wireless SD mouse with higher-end streaming controls and much faster wireless polling rates.
