Benchlab is a real-time telemetry hardware project originally built by ElmorLabs and Open Benchtable with the goal of making PC system monitoring and fine-tuning easier and more precise. The latest development in the Benchlab story comes by way of the Corsair booth at Computex, where the TechPowerUp news team got a glimpse of the new Benchlab 2 hardware platform, which was built in collaboration with Corsair. Benchlab 2 brings improved telemetry, a new six-layer PCB design for more reliable power delivery, new sensors and 12VHPWR safety features, and built-in support for the Corsair Frame chassis, among others. This will be the first time that the Benchlab monitoring board is supported in a case other than an open-air test bed.

A recent post on the Benchlab blog explains that Benchlab 2 will get integration with Corsair iCUE software, replete with a dedicated widget for devices like the Xeneon Edge monitor and new Vanguard keyboards. NVIDIA GPU owners nervous about the health of their 12VHPWR cables will also be glad to know that Benchlab 2 also now includes per-pin monitoring of two of the problematic power connectors per build as well as a built-in buzzer to alert users to any potential issues with their 12VHPWR connectors. Benchlab 2 also supports two SSDs, a 5 v standby power switch, physical power on and reset buttons, and front panel header connectors. The Benchlab 2 is slated to launch in late 2026, although an exact date has not yet been fixed.

Corsair showcased at Computex 2026 four new gaming peripherals: the CLIPPER PRO MINI 60 Hall Effect keyboard, NIGHTSWORD v2 WIRELESS SD gaming mouse, HS35 v3 WIRELESS headset, and HS35 v3 wired headset. The CLIPPER PRO MINI 60 is a compact 60% form-factor gaming keyboard that uses MGX HYPERDRIVE CORE magnetic Hall Effect switches with adjustable actuation from 0.2 mm to 3.8 mm. The keyboard is offering 0.1 mm Rapid Trigger reset, FlashTap SOCD and 8,000 Hz polling rate. Interestingly, is sports an IP57 water and dust resistance rating. As expected, the keyboard includes dual-layer sound dampening and is fully customizable via the browser-based Corsair Web Hub with 5 onboard profiles.

The NIGHTSWORD v2 WIRELESS SD is Corsair's first gaming mouse to feature a dedicated Stream Deck launch button. It combines an 8,000 Hz polling rate in both wired and wireless modes with a 33,000 DPI MARKSMAN S sensor rated for 750 IPS tracking and 50G acceleration. It features optical switches rated for 100 million clicks, supports 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth and USB-C connectivity, and delivers up to 170 hours of battery life.

Corsair came to this year's Computex show with a wide range of new components including the WARTHOG and 2800X RS-ARGB cases, the iCUE LINK TITAN II ULTRA LCD AIO cooler, the AXi SHIFT, HXi SHIFT Crystal and RMe Series power supplies. Corsair also showcased the updated FRAME 5000D case series and an expansion of the iCUE LINK ecosystem. The WARTHOG mid-tower case is somewhat reminiscent of the C70 Vengeance model from early 2010, offering a rugged look and construction made of thick steel with integrated handles and removable side panels. The front and top panels use a 3D-Y pattern for high airflow. The case offers support for 360 mm radiators, includes the InfiniRail fan mounting system, reverse-connector motherboard support, RapidRoute 2.0 motherboard tray and an included GPU anti-sag stabilization arm.

FRAME 5000D WOOD RS mid-tower case got updated with a solid wood front panel, better airflow and extensive 420 mm radiator support. It comes with two pre-installed 200 mm intake fans, one RS140 exhaust fan, and 11× 120 mm fan mounts. The 2800X RS-ARGB is a microATX chassis featuring a wraparound glass exterior, support for reverse-connector motherboards, and includes 3× RS120-R ARGB reverse-rotor intake fans on the side panel. The case can support up to 10× 120 mm fans.
