What Corsair does

Corsair Gaming, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRSR), founded in 1994 and headquartered in Milpitas, California, is a vertically integrated gaming and content-creation hardware company selling premium PC components, peripherals, pre-built systems, and—most recently—enterprise AI workstations and servers through the CORSAIR PRO brand. The portfolio spans cases (FR series, 3500X, 9000D super-tower), CPU cooling (iCUE LINK AIOs, Hydro X custom liquid), case fans, DRAM (Dominator Titanium, Vengeance, SHUGO), storage (MP700 PCIe 5.0, EX400U USB4), power supplies (RMx, HXi Shift), peripherals (K100 Air, Vanguard Pro 96, Sabre V2 Pro, Nightsword v2, HS35 v3), and pre-built Vengeance/CORSAIR ONE/ORIGIN PC desktops. Acquired brands add adjacent reach: Elgato for content creation (Stream Deck, capture cards), SCUF Gaming for controllers, Fanatec for sim racing (acquired 2024 from Endor AG, ~$110M in 2023 sales), Drop for enthusiast keyboards, and iDisplay (51% stake, 2022).

The company's commercial backbone is the iCUE software platform and iCUE LINK smart-component ecosystem, which enables single-cable connectivity, automatic device detection, two-way device communication, and synchronized RGB across up to 24 devices per System Hub. Proprietary technologies include Marksman S optical sensors (33,000 DPI), Axon 8,000Hz polling, RapidRoute cable management, and the InfiniRail fan mounting system. Corsair sells direct-to-consumer via corsair.com (with exclusive SKUs, free next-day shipping, and 60-day returns) and through Amazon, Best Buy, Newegg, and B&H, alongside a new enterprise field-sales motion for CORSAIR PRO AI infrastructure products. Revenue streams are predominantly hardware sales across eight categories, with peripherals representing roughly 40% of the ~$1.5B annual revenue base. Q1 2026 results show revenue of $354.5M, a record 32.7% gross margin, and adjusted EBITDA of $35.8M (+58% YoY), suggesting margin expansion is currently a stronger driver of value than top-line growth.
