Corsair Debuts K65 Plus Wireless Keyboard and M75 Mouse for Mac

[MacRumors]

Corsair has announced Mac-compatible versions of its K65 Plus Wireless keyboard and M75 Wireless mouse, offering both peripherals in exclusive "Glacier Blue" and "Frost" color options designed to complement Apple devices.

The K65 Plus Wireless is a 75% mechanical keyboard featuring pre-lubricated MLX Red v2 linear switches with integrated sound dampening for quieter typing. It includes Mac-specific Command and Option keys and supports connectivity via Bluetooth or 2.4GHz wireless, with battery life rated at up to 266 hours on a single charge.

Meanwhile, Corsair's M75 Wireless mouse features an ambidextrous design weighing 89 grams and includes a 26K DPI Marksman optical sensor. The mouse connects via Bluetooth or Corsair's proprietary Slipstream wireless technology.

Both peripherals can be customized through Corsair's iCUE software, which is now available for macOS, allowing users to adjust key assignments, lighting effects, and other settings. However, according to Gizmodo, the keyboard requires the use of a bundled USB-C to USB-A converter from Anker to connect it to new Macs that don't come with legacy USB-A ports, so that's something to keep in mind.

The Frost versions of the K65 Plus Wireless keyboard and M75 Wireless mouse are available now through Apple's online store, priced at $179.95 and $129.95 respectively. The Glacier Blue variants will be available at a later date.

A quiet mechanical keyboard and a mouse that's ergonomic and doesn't need to be flipped over to charge? It feels like Christmas is coming early this year. 👀

Is it a sign that M4 helped to start something good for the Mac gaming world? Seems there is a lot of posivity around gaming for Mac.

The main issue actually is that gaming ask a lot of storage and apple upgrade prices are joke + we need more gamer on mac to attract developers for native game port.

Any chance/clue for Canada ?

That mouse looked quite nice from above, in the photo above. But it doesn't look very nice from all other angles unfortunately.

Can't call it's for Mac when it doesn't come with USB-C receivers, unlike Keychron.

 

[Mrkevinfinnerty]

Why is it blue?

 

[Stiksi]

For everyone who gagged at the see-through case like me: yes, there is a white option. But I still prefer my Keychron K2 over this. Very happy for more mac peripherals, though!

"Glacier Blue?" Did someone at Corsair pick up a 1998 MacAlly catalogue for inspiration on how to design a Mac peripheral?

The traditional way to use macs is to connect a huge usb hub to it and fill the desk with wires and peripherals. Just like in Apple’s ads 😁

Why is it blue?

Probably to match one of the iMac colour lines

What's the metallic orb in the photo?

there are nice evolutions but I would hold off the fireworks for now

That's what happens when Phil Schiller designs a butt plug.

I don't see any mention of gaming on Mac, positive or negative, other than on MacRumors. No one else seems to care....I sure don't.

Tron would be happy. 😉

On a different point, along with 99.9% of the free world, I don't game on a Mac, but for those that do game on a PC is having a small, tight, keyboard like that helpful? I couldn't imagine using one for work all day, let alone trying to game on one.

Seems overpriced and not really interesting.

However, it must be noted that using macOS with a proper fast mouse on a proper 240 Hz 4K OLED monitor is a mind-blowing experience. Feels soooo much nicer than Apple's Magic Mouse + Studio Display combo, which is simply slow & sluggish.

I could never use a wheel mouse again

The price is in line with other mechanical keyboards, especially with hot-swappable switches. You can probably get it for around 90 when it eventually goes on sale. Or buy a pc version and aftermarket CMD keycaps, which essentially does the same thing.

Because blue is cool!

I guess if $310-320 is your idea of paying for a keyboard and mouse at once… then Merry Christmas?

Apple's Magic Trackpad is 130€ and Magic keyboard is 140-200€, you were saying?

 

[RalfTheDog]

Why is it blue?

Because, orange would be ugly.

If it does not have a numberpad, it's not an option for me. I hope other people like it.

Why would the Trackpad be compared to this setup? Corsair isn’t offering one. The Magic Mouse would be the equivalent and it’s $79 suggested retail.

Also, there’s lots of other options over Corsair’s more expensive keyboard/mouse combos. Most people buying a mini who need a combo would likely get something way cheaper than either of them for under $100 total.

The magic mouse is not equal to any mouse on the market that costs over 20 €. It's the least ergonomic option available to mac users.
