The Corsair Xeneon Edge 14.5″ is an expensive support touchscreen which looks to be the perfect widge companion if you are deep into the Corsair ecosystem. Does it worth, though, the high asking price of $250?
Corsair has long been recognized as one of the leading names in the world of PC gaming and enthusiast gear. Since 1994, the American company has grown from a specialist in high-performance DRAM to a global brand offering a range of products, including gaming peripherals and cases, as well as entire ecosystems of streaming gear under the Elgato, Origin, and SCUF banners. The Corsair Xeneon Edge 14.5″ LCD Touchscreen is one of its most intriguing recent peripherals, a compact, ultra-wide companion display designed to expand your desktop, optimize workflows, and integrate seamlessly with Corsair’s iCUE software and Elgato Virtual Stream Deck app.
But is this a must-have innovation or an expensive gimmick?
