The Corsair Link Lighting Node is a component that comes with our Corsair Link Cooling and Lighting Kit, but many people do not know that can be used independently, without other Corsair Link components. The Lighting Node offers quick and easy lighting control for your system, and comes with everything you need to light up the inside of your case in a color of your choice. If you want to have more advanced functionality and control over the Lighting Node, there are some ways of linking it up with other hardware components, but first let's talk about the stand alone functionality of the Corsair Link Lighting Node.

Corsair Link has recently been updated to version 2, and what this means for users is that usability, compatibility and general functionality have all been greatly improved. The update coincides with two new product lines that have recently been updated to include Corsair Link support, right out of the box. These two product lines are the new AXi series PSUs, and the Hydro Series H100i and H80i CPU coolers. These "i" (intelligent) devices do not require any extra hardware to be purchased in order to utilize the Corsair Link V2 software — support for Corsair Link is built in. These both simplify the setup of Corsair Link, and lower the barrier of entry for people wanting to take advantage of the system monitoring and control that Corsair Link can provide.

Corsair recently released two types of high performance mice, the Vengeance Gaming Series M60 and M90. The performance and features of both mice can be customized with the Vengeance Gaming Software. Below, you will find a screencast which covers all the basic functionality and options of the software. If you are wondering what features are available, and want some pointers on how to use the software, take a look!

Our Vengeance K90 keyboard is intended to compliment MMO and RTS type games, and includes some software which will allow you to configure some of the K90 keyboard's options, along with programming custom macros.  Below you will find a screencast which gives a general overview of the software and explains some of the features.  If you are wondering what type of capabilities the K90 has, or would like to get better acquainted with the software, have a look below!

I have recently put together a screencast to help illustrate the features and use of our Vengeance 1500 Gaming software which works with both our Vengeance 1500 headset as well as the older HS1.  If you are wondering what options are available in the software, or just want some general information regarding all the features then this screencast is just what you are looking for!
