Corsair unveiled their "Unplug and Play" initiative and new wireless products at CES earlier this year. While we had the chance to demo many of the products at CES, we now have them in the office to really test them out. The two products we are concentrating on today are the Dark Core RGB SE Wireless Gaming Mouse and MM1000 Mouse Pad. The Dark Core RGB SE is Corsair's first wireless gaming mouse touting a ultra-fast 1ms 2.4GHz wireless connection, Qi wireless charging and a 16,000 DPI optical sensor. The MM1000 Mouse Pad combines the convenience of Qi wireless charging with a performance micro-textured mouse pad surface. Are these two products the perfect combination? Read on as we take a look!
