CORSAIR® (Nasdaq: CRSR), a leading global developer and manufacturer of high-performance gear and technology for gamers, content creators, and PC enthusiasts, today announced the HS80 v2 MAX WIRELESS Gaming Headset, the newest high-end headset in the HS80 series. Upgraded 50mm non-Newtonian laminate drivers keep every footstep and reload distinct, a broadcast-grade microphone with a 10mm capsule captures every callout, and simultaneous 2.4GHz and Bluetooth® wireless with up to 110 hours of battery life keep competitive gamers in the game.
“We tuned HS80 v2 MAX to highlight footsteps and cut through secondary noise to deliver the audio performance you need in the heat of battle,” said Nick Bourne, VP of Gaming Devices at CORSAIR. “It gives you the info you need with powerful audio drivers, keeps your voice clear and natural, and the enhanced comfort and battery life keep you focused and in the game.”
Hearing in-game cues clearly can make the difference between victory and defeat. After a loud sound like a gunshot or explosion, residual vibration in a driver’s diaphragm can obscure quieter details, such as footsteps or reloads. The upgraded 50mm non-Newtonian laminate drivers in the HS80 v2 MAX WIRELESS help reduce that residual vibration, allowing the diaphragm to settle quickly, keeping quieter details clearer as the action unfolds. The result is powerful bass, crisp highs, and rich, full-range audio that helps you hear the cues that matter.
On PC, Dolby Atmos® spatial audio builds on that foundation by placing every sound precisely in three-dimensional space. Players can hear the footstep above them, the reload behind them, and the distant gunfire to the left.*
Being heard matters as much as hearing. The HS80 v2 MAX WIRELESS’s broadcast-grade 10mm microphone capsule captures clear, natural voice comms, while a built-in pop filter helps reduce harsh popping sounds. Flip the mic up to mute instantly. On PCs with a compatible NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ graphics card, AI-powered NVIDIA Broadcast mic enhancement helps reduce keyboard clatter, fan noise, and room ambience, keeping your voice clear and your squad focused on your callouts.
Stay comfortable through every session with plush memory foam ear cushions wrapped in breathable fabric and a floating adjustable headband that helps distribute weight evenly and minimize pressure points. The cushions hold their shape session after session for lasting comfort, while a durable aluminum frame keeps the 370g headset feeling secure and comfortable.
Simultaneous 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth let players game on one device while taking a call or streaming music from another. The HS80 v2 MAX WIRELESS is compatible with PC, Mac, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices.
The HS80 v2 MAX WIRELESS delivers up to 110 hours of battery life on 2.4GHz wireless, or up to 130 hours over Bluetooth.** When a quick top-up is needed, 15 minutes of charging gives six hours back. On-ear controls keep the essentials within reach, including a volume scroll wheel with multifunction button, a power button, and a dedicated Bluetooth button.
CORSAIR iCUE software puts sound and style under the player’s control. Enable NVIDIA Broadcast features, customize EQ settings, load pre-tuned profiles, and personalize the headset’s RGB lighting to match the rest of the setup.
*Dolby Atmos® available on PC only. Requires Dolby Access app.
**Up to 110 hours via 2.4GHz and 130 hours via Bluetooth® (RGB off); up to 65 hours via 2.4GHz and 80 hours via Bluetooth® (RGB on). All measured at 50% volume.
Availability, Warranty, and Pricing
The CORSAIR HS80 v2 MAX WIRELESS Gaming Headset is available starting October 8, 2026, from the CORSAIR webstore and the CORSAIR worldwide network of authorized retailers and distributors.
The HS80 v2 MAX WIRELESS is backed by CORSAIR’s two-year warranty, alongside the CORSAIR worldwide customer service and technical support network.
For up-to-date regional pricing, refer to the CORSAIR website or contact your local CORSAIR sales or PR representative.

azer™, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, today announced the launch of the Razer Basilisk V4 Pro, the latest evolution of its iconic ergonomic gaming mouse, together with the Razer Mouse Dock V2 Pro wireless charging dock.
The Basilisk V4 Pro keeps the ergonomic shape players trust and delivers key upgrades, from 14 customizable controls and the new Razer™ HyperScroll Tilt Wheel Gen-2 to the Razer™ Focus Pro 50K Optical Sensor Gen-3, and HyperSpeed Wireless Gen-2.
The Basilisk V4 Pro also brings 7-zone Razer Chroma RGB with full underglow and 5-way multi-device connectivity to move across an entire setup at the touch of a button. The result is one mouse that no longer asks gamers to choose between comfort, customization, performance, and immersion.
Never a Compromise. Fan Favorite, Evolved.
Gamers have always had to choose. Comfort or customization. Performance or immersion. The Basilisk line has never accepted that trade and has long been a trusted choice for players who want one ergonomic mouse to handle every game they play.
“The Basilisk has always been about giving players the freedom to play their way,” said Barrie Ooi, Head of PC Gaming Division at Razer. “With the Basilisk V4 Pro, we’ve elevated that experience with a refined design, greater control, our most advanced scroll wheel, sensor, and immersive Chroma RGB lighting. It’s the ultimate expression of what a Basilisk can be, built to bring precision, control, and immersion to every game and every setup.”
The Apex Returns
Fans have championed every generation of the Basilisk, so the Basilisk V4 Pro keeps everything they love and gives them even more. The iconic ergonomic silhouette and signature thumb rest remain, while the acclaimed multi-function trigger has been repositioned for a more natural reach. The shape also makes room for a third side button and an all-new M1 edge button. Despite added features, the Basilisk V4 Pro still manages to weigh 12 g lighter than its predecessor.
Deeper Control
The acclaimed multi-function trigger returns, joined by a third side button and an all-new M1 edge button for 14 customizable controls in total. Map any button to Razer Hypershift to unlock secondary functions, while macros and smart profiles in Razer Synapse switch layouts automatically the moment a linked game launches.
The new Razer HyperScroll Tilt Wheel Gen-2 adds more ways to scroll. Tactile mode delivers familiar 24-step scrolling, the new Precision Tactile mode adds finer 48-step control for cycling through hotbars and abilities, and Free-Spin makes long scrolls fast and smooth, with Smart-Reel mode switching between tactile and free-spin automatically based on scroll speed and tunable in Razer Synapse.
Virtual Acceleration, also in Razer Synapse, dynamically increases scroll speed as players scroll faster, with 5 acceleration levels to match their playstyle.
First-Class Precision
Razer™ HyperSpeed Wireless Gen-2, with true 8000Hz polling available in both wireless and wired modes. Frame Sync allows the sensor to deliver just-in-time scanning and reporting for ultra-low latency performance.
Driving that precision is the Razer Focus Pro 50K Optical Sensor Gen-3, delivering up to 50,000 DPI, 930 IPS, and 90 G acceleration, with Frame Sync aligning sensor scanning to the mouse’s polling cycle for lower motion latency and better battery efficiency. Asymmetric Cut-Off gives players independent control over lift-off and landing distance, letting them fine-tune tracking behavior for cleaner resets and more consistent aim.
Perform instant 180-degree turns on any map with Perfect 180, giving low-sensitivity FPS players a competitive edge, while Dynamic Sensitivity and Mouse Rotation let players fine-tune aim to their playstyle – all enabled via Razer Synapse.
Moreover, Razer™ Optical Mouse Switches Gen-4 are rated for 100 million clicks with 12% lighter actuation for crisp, consistent presses with zero debounce delay.

Each zone offers customization across 16.8 million colors, reacts dynamically across 300+ Chroma-integrated games, and syncs with compatible Razer devices as well as over 50 partner products.
Built for the long gaming sessions, players can enjoy up to 200 hours of battery life on HyperSpeed Wireless Gen-2 at 1,000 Hz and up to 275 hours on Bluetooth® 6.2.

Launching alongside the Basilisk V4 Pro, the Razer Mouse Dock V2 Pro wireless charging dock combines effortless magnetic wireless charging with high-performance connectivity. Players can simply place the mouse on the dock to charge and pick it up ready to go, while the integrated 8,000 Hz transceiver enables Razer HyperSpeed Wireless Gen-2 performance.
