MILPITAS, CA, May 26, 2026 – CORSAIR® (NASDAQ: CRSR), a global leader in high-performance gaming peripherals and enthusiast PC components, today announced CORSAIR SHUGO DDR5, a limited-edition enthusiast memory series created for builders who see the machine as both a performance PC and a personal design statement.
At the center of SHUGO DDR5 is a distinctive visual construction that elevates memory from a hidden component into a defining element of the build. Each module features premium aluminum heat spreaders, high-resolution UV printing, and precision pad printing to create a layered, collector-grade appearance. The launch designs, ONYX BLADE and SAKURA NOA, were developed in collaboration with community artists to bring originality, craftsmanship, and visual identity to premium DIY systems.
SHUGO DDR5 also introduces CORSAIR patent-pending light-emitting micro-drilling technology, which allows RGB lighting to shine through the side of the module and become part of the artwork itself. Each SHUGO design incorporates its own micro-hole pattern, creating lighting effects that emerge from the art rather than sitting apart from it. The result is a memory series designed to look intentional from every angle inside a showcase PC.
“SHUGO was created for builders who care as much about the emotional connection with their setup as the frame rate,” said Thi La, CEO. “With SHUGO DDR5, we are combining original visual design, advanced lighting innovation, and high-performance CORSAIR memory engineering into something that feels rare, personal, and collectible.”
The name SHUGO symbolizes strength, stability, and reliability, reflecting the role memory plays as the foundation of high-performance PCs. Built for gamers, overclockers, creators, and collectors, SHUGO DDR5 is engineered to deliver the speed and dependability expected from CORSAIR while giving builders a more expressive way to complete their systems.
Each SHUGO DDR5 kit is built with hand-selected, highly binned DDR5 ICs and a custom high-performance PCB engineered for strong signal integrity and overclocking capability. SHUGO DDR5 is optimized for both Intel® and AMD® platforms and paired with CORSAIR’s patented DHX® cooling technology to help maintain stable operation under demanding gaming, content creation, and multitasking workloads.
SHUGO DDR5 modules include individually addressable RGB LEDs and are fully supported by CORSAIR iCUE® software, giving builders deep lighting customization and system-wide synchronization. For builders seeking a fully populated and symmetrical memory layout, SHUGO DDR5 will also be available with the CORSAIR Light Enhancement Kit (LEK), which fills empty DDR5 slots with matching RGB modules. LEK modules contain no memory and are intended for aesthetic use only.
CORSAIR SHUGO DDR5 will launch in 32GB (2x16GB) kits rated up to 6,000MT/s CL28 with 1.4V. SHUGO DDR5 will be produced in low volume and made available through a controlled launch model designed to preserve its collector-grade positioning.
