Corsair's Custom Lab Lets You Brighten Up The Look Of Your Gaming Set Up With Minimal Effort

I’m a huge fan of Xbox’s Design Lab, the tool that lets you customize almost every aspect of your Xbox controller. I’ve often wondered, though, if this could be expanded into other gaming accessories, such as keyboards and a custom-look mouse.

Well, it seems Corsair and I were on the same wavelength, as they have launched their own design lab allowing you to do just that. Enter the Corsair Custom Lab, an all-in-one stop to customize the look of your next mouse, keyboard, and desk mat.

Initially launched back in June during Computex, Corsair’s Custom Lab allows customers to customize the look of their K65 Plus Wireless Keyboard, the M75 Wireless Gaming Mouse and one of three sizes of its MM300 mouse pad.

So I was grateful when Corsair offered us a chance to check out the Custom Lab and design my own keyboard, mouse and mat combination as a way to get a feel for the new tool — and to check out the quality in person when they arrived on my doorstep.

Customization Process

For starters, it should be noted that the Custom Lab is currently only available for US customers on Corsair’s website.

Even if you choose one of the bundles, you can still fully customize each aspect of your device, meaning you aren’t locked into one of the featured designs in the kit should you want to splash something different.
