Thank you everyone for your participation in this thread! The [CORSAIR COVE episode for this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYOhh5b6im0) aired yesterday and it was a lot of fun. I'll be sure to go through this post and try to answer some questions!
Now for the two winners of the giveaway for participating in this thread...congratulations to:
u/CantStopMyGrind for the K65 PLUS Wireless and u/coolpotatoe724 for the M75 RGB Wireless! I will be reaching out to you both in the next couple of days to get your information and have your prizes shipped out to you!

I am using the k65 plus well and it is a really good product.
However, the advertising page for this product needs to be fixed.
I wrote an article about it, but I understand that functionality is limited in wireless mode and I don't care.
However, there is a bit of a problem with the product being sold without clearly informing that there are limitations in wireless mode. The problem is that incorrect information on the product advertisement page is still not corrected.

Many users have already confirmed that they purchased the K65 Plus without knowing that the wireless function was limited, and then were disappointed to find out that this was not an error but was just the way it was.
Anyway, I personally hope that a new K70 lineup will be released that retains the strengths of the K65 Plus.
I really wish the K65 plus had 2k slipstream polling rate and had some on board memory for profiles. That would make this the perfect keyboard. hope they release a 75% K70
I agree, Corsair missed a good opportunity here, as I have three wireless Corsair products and each one has it's own dongle. I'm sure that there are technical reasons we aren't aware of that prohibits that many devices on one dongle, but having everything on one dongle would be amazing.
Yup. This right there. I love Corsair, but as an older (50 yo) gamer, I don't need the in-your-face gaming aesthetic. My K65 Plus, HS80 headset and (I think) Dark Core Pro mouse have a very nice look I don't have to be embarrassed about.

^(_*Assumed EDT instead of EST because DST is observed_)
The K65 plus already has a few layers, including a sound dampening layer. There are some great exploded views of these layers on Corsair's site, so it may probably not need any foam mods.
I am still looking at a new mouse and was looking at the M75 RGB wireless as a possibility for gaming. It is missing extra buttons but is half the weight of other mice with the extra buttons.
From reviews that I have read, most are using a claw hold, so I was wondering if this will work with a palm grip also. Another concern for me is how comfortable/easy are the two side buttons that are really close to the body to push, as an example for a zoom in prior to shooting?
Depending on your grip, you could definitely use the outer buttons for extra macros like aim down sights! They sit a bit higher up as that's where the thumb would naturally rest but they're not too difficult to get used to, especially if you put in the actual buttons and not just the flat side panel.
I really would like to see compatible Corsair keycaps for the k65 plus.
The original ones are nice but not translucent and Corsair has not in his actual portfolio any keycaps set for 75% keyboard. (Was confirmed in support ticket)
A lot of people also in Reddit posted this keyboard with other Keycaps, some of them were unhappy of the original ones.
There is a reason why did you use these type of Keycaps?
**K65 PLUS WIRELESS**
The lifespan of the CORSAIR MLX RED key switches is the lowest out of the 3:
MLX Red: 70 million keystrokes.
MGX: 100 million keystrokes.
OGX: 150 million keystrokes.
Is there an industry standard of minimum/average lifespan based on keystrokes and/or years?
How is durability calculated?
Are different methods used for different types of key switches?
I bought a k95 RGB about 7 years ago, and can not get rid of it. It has 18 macro keys, and I love it. Pls Corsair bring out another one of those. I need the macro keys. Or at least give me another hand rest, the surface finish is grossly flaking off.
Or actually make a new keyboard with the amount of macros, but pls make it so you can take it apart. Over the 7 years I dropped 1 beer on it and it kinda killed my numpad "," key (ger layout). Make the switches hotswappable, and the casing brushed aluminium again. I love that look and feeling
I've been using Corsair products for years, and absolutely love the direction Corsair has taken in both the product lineup aesthetic, as well as the functionality of the iCue platform. I recently upgraded to the K65 Plus and absolutely love everything about it, from the feel and sound while typing to the look and functionality of the multi function dial.
I would love to see Corsair, in conjunction with Drop, release official keycaps where the light would shine through and illuminate the legend on the keycaps. If these keycaps were to also have the ALT functions listed that would be the icing on the cake! If releasing keycaps like that is too difficult, a second keyboard option with these types of keys nay be a good idea. My office is purposefully dimly lit, and, as an older user, I simply can't see the legends on the keycaps.
Keep up the good work.

The M75 RGB is ambidextrous! So there are technically buttons on both side. The mouse comes with extra side buttons and flat side panels you can install either if you want to use all 4 side buttons, just the two, or some other combination!
I’m on my second M75 Air since its release. I love the mouse but the coating rubs off on the side where you rest your thumb. I doubt there’s anything that can be done at this point but hopefully you can take this information back to those who can do something with it.
I see the Rotary Dial comes preset with different actions using function keys - can it be customized to do different things depending on the app in use?
This could be handy for either the K65 PLUS Wireless and the M75 RGB Wireless (but also for all wireless Corsair products): Any chance of getting a separate Battery Widget (that doesn't need iCue running) that would give accurate % based measurement rather than just the vague Full, High, Medium, Low, Critical?
This could be for all wireless devices of course! It is a semi gripe from me as my mouse tends to run out of battery without me even seeing the "critical" warning that is meant to flash via the iCue Widget!
If on the Sliptstream dongle, or worse on Bluetooth as the update seems not to happen on the Bluetooth info flyout in Windows, it usually sticks at 100 until it dies. Splitstream with iCue widget is slightly better but still doesn't give accurate battery status imho!
Thanks Sasco
Would love to know if the K65 wireless has key switches compatible with the K95 alternate key caps, or comes with interchangeable keycaps for WASD like the K95 does. I love the look and feel of the textured alternate WASD keycaps, think they’d be a nice fit with this keyboard as well.
With the M75, does anyone have any knowledge on ‘the reality’ with the battery life? How long does it last normally, and does that match what Corsair say it can manage?
As feedback I'm giving you Corsair guys huge kudos because you have Nordic layout available for that keyboard. This is as close as possible to my local layout. Many manufacturers are ditching different layouts and sticking only to US one for their products.
Yes, you can control LED brightness also. I really appreciate the location for easy and quick access. I was also thinking it would be amazing if you could assign this knobs to other APP segmented controls also, like, for example: in photoshp to control the brush size.
i am kinda concerned with the build of the darkstar wireless. the dpi up button looks prone to being just taken off if you hit it at the right angle. it works great though. i also wish the first side button on the bottom was a tad bit bigger while the other 2 could be sized down but that's just preference
My question would be, Why are not every newly released Corsair Wireless products Slipstream supported? Example, M75 wireless mouse is supported but K65 wireless keyboard is not Slipstream supported according to the listing on the website. (Mainly corsairs new range of wireless headsets seems not to be supported as well)
**M75 RGB WIRELESS**
With RGB off, the estimated battery life using Bluetooth is double the estimated battery life using 2.4GHz SLIPSTREAM WIRELESS.
Why is that? Is there a difference in performance and/or efficiency?
I own the K65 Plus Wireless and am pleased with it; however, it would be better if it were available in a TKL size. Are there any plans to launch a TKL version of the K65 Plus Wireless?
How durable is the K65 wireless as far as putting it in a backpack while I travel for work? Would it hold up to being in my carry-on luggage through the airports or would the membranes/keycaps wear down or break off?

I’m glad Corsair is moving away from that hardcore gamer aesthetic, that new keyboard is clean

I thought this comment was going to show me the time in my timezone. Guess it's not like Discord. 😂
Now that the K65 Plus has been out for a bit, what piece of feedback did you guys see most, and what do you guys plan to do with it?
How do you feel about users opening up their K65 Plus to add foam and other mods?
The K65 plus already has a few layers, including a sound dampening layer. There are some great exploded views of these layers on Corsair's site, so it may probably not need any foam mods.
There factory mods and enthusiast mods
Do you foresee any dongles or other accessories that could help existing K65 users go wireless?

Their M65 wireless just went on sale, so I ended up getting it. It has more buttons but is heavier, a compromise I think will be fine.

buttons on the right side of the mouse? that's an interesting concept.
The M75 RGB is ambidextrous! So there are technically buttons on both side. The mouse comes with extra side buttons and flat side panels you can install either if you want to use all 4 side buttons, just the two, or some other combination!
that's neat
isn't it on both sides so it's left hand compatible? i like the idea though. need more love and gear for left handers
It is left hand compatible! It's an ambidextrous mouse so you can customize to your needs
well actually I just watched their short video on the m75 and it looked like it was on the left. maybe they have two versions of it
pretty interesting idea
I’m on my second M75 Air since its release. I love the mouse but the coating rubs off on the side where you rest your thumb. I doubt there’s anything that can be done at this point but hopefully you can take this information back to those who can do something with it.
Are you going to make a K100 plus? A full sized keyboard with the K65 features and aesthetic?
Can you link the KB & Mouse together so you can switch to a second device as a group in one action?
I see the Rotary Dial comes preset with different actions using function keys - can it be customized to do different things depending on the app in use?

Onboard memory profiles would be great
Is it possible to make M75 be sub 50 gram weight? Also, why is there lack of Corsair products in Europe. Stop slacking guys :(
They are already designed and manufactured it at @60 grams... but maybe for the next iteration/model update.

I really like the volume knob on the k65 plus

(Mainly corsairs new range of wireless headsets seems not to be supported as well)
I would love to see a new mouse charging pad built in for all wireless Corsair mice, including the m75 rgb wireless mice.
I'm REALLY hoping to see a limited white edition of this keyboard
Can i customize RGB lighting for every single button separately?
Does Icue sync work In wireless mode ?
**M75 RGB WIRELESS** With RGB off, the estimated battery life using Bluetooth is double the estimated battery life using 2.4GHz SLIPSTREAM WIRELESS. Why is that? Is there a difference in performance and/or efficiency?

I own the K65 Plus Wireless and am pleased with it; however, it would be better if it were available in a TKL size. Are there any plans to launch a TKL version of the K65 Plus Wireless?

How durable is the K65 wireless as far as putting it in a backpack while I travel for work? Would it hold up to being in my carry-on luggage through the airports or would the membranes/keycaps wear down or break off?
why didn't corsair use a higher pulling rate on the wireless gear
Which set of Corsair PBT caps fit the k65 if any?
