Corsair expands its Custom Lab to European customers

12 mars 2025 à 16:45

Corsair is bringing its popular Custom Lab service to Europe, allowing gamers to create personalised peripherals that reflect their style. Corsair Custom Lab offers a one-stop shop for creating custom gear, allowing users to express themselves through mice, keyboards, and mousepads, with plans to expand the product offerings.

Corsair Custom Lab allows customers to personalise the appearance of gaming peripherals, enabling them to curate a workspace aesthetic that is uniquely their own. Users can select from various colours and themes, ranging from retro gaming designs to futuristic graphics, giving them a canvas for self-expression.

The K65 Plus Wireless gaming keyboard, the M75 Wireless gaming mouse, and the MM300 mousepad are the first products available through Custom Lab in Europe, but expect more to come. Corsair Custom Lab will be accessible through all EU Corsair webstores, with keyboard layouts for North America, the UK, Germany, and France available at launch.

The Corsair Custom Lab platform is now live on Corsair websites in France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Poland. Artist series selections currently available on the US website will be offered to EU customers at a later date.

KitGuru says: Corsair's Custom Lab is a nice option for users who want to avoid the hassle of customising keyboards or searching for specific parts in various stores. However, that comes at a price, literally.

Philips GamePix 900 4K Projector Review

Projectors used to be for movies and presentations. While they've always been great for covering a large screen area, the refresh rates and resolution haven't been so impressive if you want a rapidly responding, detailed gaming experience. But times are changing, and Philips has seen this as an opportunity to enter the gaming projector market with the GamePix 900. Not only does it offer 4K resolution, if you drop to 1080p it supports 240Hz. Could this be the king of gaming projectors? We put it through its paces to find out.

Aside from its headline 4K resolution (3,840 x 2,160) and 240Hz at 1080p, the GamePix 900 can also manage 120Hz at 1440p, which might be the sweet spot for many games. At 1080p and 240Hz, the input lag is 6ms, which is quite a bit higher than a gaming monitor offering this refresh rate, but not hideous, although it drops to 8ms at 120Hz. However, there is no support for FreeSync or G-sync adaptive frame rates.

The GamePix 900 can project an image from 60in up to 120in diagonal, so your screen size will be well beyond any gaming monitor and you'd need to spend a fortune to get a TV this size. It can cover 95% of the Rec. 709 colour gamut, which should keep movies looking vibrant and natural. There's HDR10 support to help here too. Stated brightness is 1,000 ANSI lumens, although that's at the source.

You only get a single HDMI port on the rear, so will need to swap physically between different inputs. Although there's a built-in 5W speaker, a headphone minijack is available. A USB port is included too.

The headline features of the Philips GamePix 900 are certainly compelling, and for a limited time you can pick one up for £495, although this will rise to £819 when the offer runs out. Read on to find out if the GamePix is exactly what you need to upsize your gaming.
