Logitech G, Razer and Corsair make most of the gaming peripherals people buy. They each make good gear, but they differ in software, ecosystem and what they’re best known for. This guide summarizes each brand’s strengths so you can decide where to shop, and how to save when you do.
Logitech G: wireless and esports staples
Logitech G is best known for its wireless mice and its LIGHTSPEED wireless technology. Its signature products include the Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 mouse and the Logitech G915 X low-profile keyboard. Its software is G HUB.
Razer: a wide catalog with a strong esports presence
Razer makes nearly every category of peripheral, plus laptops. Signature products include the Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro and the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro headset. Its software is Synapse, and its Chroma RGB system works with many third-party devices.
Corsair: the whole PC, not just peripherals
Corsair makes PC components (cases, PSUs, memory, cooling) as well as peripherals, all managed through iCUE. That makes it a good fit if you want one program to control the lighting on your fans, RAM and keyboard. Signature products include the Corsair K70 RGB PRO keyboard and the Corsair HS80 RGB Wireless headset.
Mixing brands
You don’t need to stay with one brand. Running multiple RGB programs can be clunky, though. If synced lighting matters to you, choose one ecosystem or use a third-party controller such as SignalRGB.
How to save when buying from these brands
- Brand-store sign-up offers: each brand runs its own store, and new-customer and newsletter offers sometimes appear there. Read the terms, as exclusions are common.
- Retailer sales: retailers often discount older models before a new version launches.
- Refurbished: official refurbished stores usually include a warranty. Check its length.

Bottom line
Choose by the products you want and the software you’re willing to run, not just by the logo. All three brands have good options in every price range.
