As I type this on one of my two corsair keyboards-- that I love-- I am thinking I will check out this S1!

Isn't their company name "CORSAIR COMPONENTS, INC."?

It's discussed in the document starting at page 10 under 'The Reorganization and the Acquisition Transaction'.

40% of the revenue is from selling RAM? I assume they aren't fabbing their own chips, so are they just reselling Samsung/Hynix memory?

Micron, Samsung, Hynix like most others. They aren't reselling ram, just using chips from the only companies that make them, but they pick certain bins and do their own QC and direct support etc.

I have a Corsair mouse pad that covers most of my desk. In part because the mouse pad is huge and in part because my desk is small. The mouse that sits on top of it is Corsair too. I like this mouse pad and the mouse a lot, and like you, the quality of those things that I own are the reason I clicked on this post.

As for keyboard, I use a different brand (all black programmable mechanical keyboard ErgoDox EZ Shine with no printed key caps, with my own Dvorak layout here: https://github.com/ctsrc/ergodox-ez-shine-dvorak).

I am fairly certain that the PSU in my desktop computer is Corsair as well, but I’m not about to open the case and see just for a comment on HN :p

Someone has to put the chips together into a module and flash the profile information. And add RGB and heatsinks.

Kind of a boring IPO. Just taking advantage of high valuations right now.
