What we can tell you
Seventeen buttons, twelve of them on a side panel that physically slides to fit your thumb; that adjustment is the real feature, because a fixed twelve-key pad is only usable if your thumb happens to land on it. Two caveats: the retailer showed a price range rather than a single figure, and CORSAIR's own site refused every request, so everything here comes from the listing.
What the specifications favour
- A twelve-key side panel that slides to fit your thumb
- Seventeen buttons with vendor remapping software
- A wide published sensitivity range
What to check before you buy
- The retailer showed a price range, not a price
- CORSAIR's own site could not be read, so the published specification here is thin
- Wired only

Check the following details before ordering, especially where variants differ or information is incomplete.
How firm this price looks
Best Buy showed a range rather than a single figure, $59.99 to $117.83. The low end is what is shown here, so expect to pay more than that in practice.
What this page rests on
CORSAIR's own site could not be read, so everything here comes from the retailer listing alone.
