Carbon fiber. Magnesium alloy. Hall Effect switches. CORSAIR just showed up to CES 2026 with a lineup that looks like it was engineered in a Formula 1 lab rather than a gaming peripheral factory.
The headliners? Two new ultralight versions of their award-winning SABRE v2 PRO mouse – one in carbon fiber, one in magnesium – plus a pro-tuned mousepad and an upgraded DIY keyboard with magnetic switches. This isn't your typical refresh cycle. CORSAIR is pushing into premium materials territory that most brands don't even touch.
Last year's SABRE v2 PRO was already a hit with pros. Now CORSAIR is offering it in materials you'd typically find on a racing bike or aerospace equipment.
55 grams of carbon fiber unibody construction. That's lighter than most "ultralight" mice while being significantly more rigid and durable. Carbon fiber isn't just for show – it provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, so you get a featherlight mouse that won't flex or creak under pressure.
56 grams with a metal body for players who prefer that premium feel. Magnesium alloy offers ultra-precise aim with the durability to handle daily grinding without showing wear. It's only 1 gram heavier than the carbon fiber version but gives you that solid, substantial feel some players prefer.
Both mice pack the same performance specs:
Note: Weight can vary ±2g due to manufacturing tolerances, which is standard for this level of precision construction.
You can have the best mouse in the world, but if your mousepad is inconsistent, your aim suffers. The MM PRO Control Esports-Tuned Cloth Mouse Pad is CORSAIR's answer to that problem.
Built for pros who value precision:
This isn't just another cloth pad. It's designed as the foundation for professional-level play where millimeter-precise flicks actually matter.
Last year's MAKR 75 DIY Keyboard Kit won a Red Dot Best of the Best Design Award and an iF Design Award. The MAKR PRO 75 takes that acclaimed design and adds Hall Effect technology for competitive gamers who want DIY customization without sacrificing performance.
What's New:
DIY When You Want It: The keyboard comes complete with switches, keycaps, and everything you need out of the box. But if you want to level up your build, you can add optional modules for:
It's the best of both worlds – competitive-ready performance right away, with the option to go deeper into customization when you're ready.
Carbon fiber and magnesium alloy aren't just marketing buzzwords. These materials solve real problems:
Carbon fiber = maximum lightness + maximum rigidity. No flex, no creaking, just consistent performance at the lowest possible weight.
Magnesium alloy = premium feel + durability. Slightly heavier than carbon fiber but still ultralight, with better resistance to wear over thousands of hours of use.
For competitive players where every fraction of a second counts, reducing mouse weight without sacrificing structural integrity can genuinely improve performance. You get faster flicks, less fatigue during long sessions, and more consistent aim.
According to Tobias Brinkmann, VP and GM of Gaming Peripherals at CORSAIR: "We eagerly anticipate seeing the highlight moments that elite gamers create with these new products."
CORSAIR is clearly targeting the high-end competitive market with this lineup. These aren't budget options – they're premium tools for players who take their craft seriously and want every possible advantage.
Pricing and availability details will be announced soon. Keep an eye on CORSAIR's site for updates.
