It's been amazing to see Corsair grow and provide great hardware, although not to my current taste. I can see the value they provide with the current massive force that online gaming and streaming has. I hope they'll continue to build great products for the foreseeable future.

I bought my first mech keyboard and "high-end" mouse from Corsair almost 3 years ago. I happily own a couple of Elgato products, more Corsair keyboards. I can say I'm rooting for them.

I never built my own gaming PC. Teenager me had the knowledge and patience to build one and would have loved too, but didn't have the money at the time. Adult me doesn't have the patience, nor the knowledge anymore, but has the money. I'm also less interested in those huge, full of fancy glowing RGB lights, gaming rigs and more interested in something small, silent and discreet. So, in so many words, I can't compare,…
Maybe if you need the exact aesthetics of the Corsair this would be difficult. But, if your only experience in building your own PC was from years ago, you'd be in for a pleasant surprise. Nowadays there's very little to worry about. No jumpers, easy cable management, even the front panels are no longer the mess they used to be. You can even avoid dealing with ANY cables at all for your SSD, if you go with the M2 for…
Unless you get case which is too small, and you have problems getting you hands in there.

Building PC in 2020 is so easy - like two cables, chase, cpu, ram and video. Drive is probably just m2. So much easier than back in the day.
Unlike many other brands, their have managed to retain their quality over time. Kudos to them.

Have you ever built one? I'm curious how they compare to something I might build myself. They are my go-to for power supplies and memory, and of my three main keyboards and mice, two sets are Corsair (K95 RGB Platinum and Scimitar Pro) used on Linux systems with ckb-next; one is Razer (Blackwidow Chroma v1 and Ouroboros) with their in-house software on Windows for a gaming rig. I much prefer the Corsair stuff.
Guess what building a pc is not worth it. It's not worth it in frustration or anything else. It's better to buy a commercial business grade desktop with a support contract. They always have some kind of weird power issue or something. However, I might just be butthurt about my desktop that randomly reboots and was built by a friend, and I can't figure out what is wrong with it.
I finally bought a Dell Precision 5810 and it blew my mind how professional the entire case was. Every single little thing had a dust guard, or a clip, or a wire holder or its own little cooling fan. The graphics cards had support brackets. The hard drive bays had these fantastic multi-fit caddies, and the SATA cables were all the perfect length. Windows registered itself from the e-mark on the BIOS each time I reinstalled it, which was really handy, and each time I installed Windows from scratch everything automagically seemed to work and I didn't have to go digging around for drivers. The onboard RAID controller seemed to 'just work' and took like 3 seconds to setup.
I bought my Dell Precision 5810 second-hand, and it would have been cheaper than building the same computer with a custom case from individually sourced second hand parts.

Chase?
As I type this on one of my two corsair keyboards-- that I love-- I am thinking I will check out this S1!
I swapped the keycaps on the razor to zhuyin and gave it to my wife. Much prefer this corsair!

I second this. The level of integration in a custom case is not even comparable to an enterprise business desktop.
