Performance
As a setup, the four items look absolutely fantastic together. The mouse and the keyboard both have some limited RGB. However, it doesn’t look or feel limited when it comes to adding visual appeal. The mouse has a single RGB light on the rear. While the full keyboard is RGB, it’s actually a three-zone underlighting effect. So this way, you still get some colour scroll and transitions, but not the full per-key customisation of more expensive models.
However, if you like the rainbow effects, you’ll still get a kick out of them regardless. What’s best is that it’s all built-in too, so you don’t have to tinker with software to put on a light show. It’s colourful, but not too bright either, so it’s less of a distraction that you would think while still adding colour to your desktop.
The mouse is super tight when it comes to first-person gaming. The mouse glides great on any surface, but the MM330 seems like a perfect match for it. It’s a softer cloth surface but not overly spongy. Of course, that means the mouse doesn’t dig in, and glides effortlessly, which is ideal for twitchy FPS shooting skills; if you have those.
The keyboard and mouse do compliment each other well. Sure, they can be purchased on their own, but I can see why Corsair bundles them together now. They’re both great quality and perform very well, without costing the Earth.
The headset is my favourite though. With its powerful stereo drivers, it’s really got some thump to it. It uses a closed back design, and the PU Leather ear cups and headband look anything but cheap. If anything, this is one of the nicer looking headsets on the market. It packs all the punch you would want for gaming but doesn’t have that garish “gamer” look to it. It’s a winner for movies, music, or just a bit of YouTube browsing too. There is certainly plenty of bass, bright and clear treble, and yet both sounding very balanced with a good punchy mid-range.
