Corsair announced an updated version of the K65 Plus wireless keyboard that debuted earlier this year, which is now compatible with Mac computers. It’s joined by a new version of the Corsair M75 wireless mouse, and both peripherals are available in Mac-exclusive colors, including Glacier Blue and a white version that the company calls “Frost.”
Frost versions of the K65 Plus Wireless Keyboard and M75 Wireless Mouse are available now at Apple’s online and retail stores for $179.95 and $129.95, respectively. Glacier blue versions will be available at the same price, but at a later date.

The K65 Plus wireless keyboard is 75% Tenkey-free and uses “pre-lubricated CORSAIR MLX Red v2 linear switches” with integrated sound dampening, making it quieter than other mechanical options. The new version includes command and option keys with Mac-specific icons, as well as a row of function keys that match Apple’s keyboard layout. You can also customize the functionality of each key and the keyboard’s LED backlighting using Corsair’s optional iCue software, now available for macOS.
Corsair claims the battery will last up to 266 hours when fully charged, but doesn’t specify whether this is the case when the keyboard is connected to Macs or other Apple devices via a USB cable, Bluetooth or a 2.4 GHz wireless connection to reduce lag . There’s a 2.4GHz dongle included in the box, but according to Gizmodo it requires using Anker’s included USB-C to USB-A converter to actually connect it to Apple devices, which ditched USB-A some time ago.

The M75 wireless gaming mouse weighs 89 grams and has an ambidextrous design, making it suitable for right- and left-handed gamers. It uses a 26,000 DPI Corsair Marksman optical sensor and connects to devices via Bluetooth or the company’s patented Slipstream wireless technology, which also requires a dedicated dongle. The mouse’s backlighting, DPI, and button assignments can be configured using the same Corsair iCue software used by the K65 Plus keyboard.
