Corsair has added a new line of budget gaming peripherals to its lineup, targeting players who want reliable hardware without a high price tag. The Skiff 100 series keyboards and the Harpoon V2 wireless mouse offer essential gaming features at accessible price points. Gamers looking for affordable upgrades can now find wired membrane keyboards and a versatile wireless mouse in this new batch.
Corsair adds budget gaming peripherals with 10-zone RGB and tri-mode connectivity
The Skiff 100 series includes two models: the standard Skiff 100 and the Skiff 100 Plus. Both are wired membrane keyboards designed for durability and consistent performance. The Skiff 100 Plus distinguishes itself with six programmable G-keys for macro commands. The standard Skiff 100 omits these extra keys to keep costs lower. Corsair has equipped both keyboards with detachable wrist rests for extended comfort.

Technical specifications for the Skiff 100 series focus on responsiveness and protection. Both keyboards support a 1,000 Hz polling rate for low input lag. They feature 10-zone RGB lighting that allows for customizable color effects. An IP53 rating provides spill resistance against dust and water splashes. The Harpoon V2 mouse complements this lineup with a 26K Corsair Marksman optical sensor. It weighs 80 grams and supports tri-mode connectivity for flexible usage.
Battery life is a key feature for the Harpoon V2 wireless mouse. Corsair claims up to 140 hours of operation when RGB lighting is turned off. This endurance makes it suitable for long gaming sessions without frequent recharging. The mouse and keyboards are available now through the official Corsair store. The Skiff 100 is priced at $60, while the Skiff 100 Plus and Harpoon V2 are both $70.
These products fill a gap in Corsair's portfolio for entry-level gaming gear. They provide core gaming functionality without premium pricing. Buyers can choose between the basic Skiff 100 or the feature-rich Skiff 100 Plus based on their needs. The Harpoon V2 offers a lightweight wireless option for those prioritizing mobility.
