Fresh off last week’s deals on Corsair headsets, keyboard, and gaming mice, the brand is back with even more savings on Amazon. If you’re in the market for a new gaming headset or keyboard, we have some deals you need to check out, and they’re all available from March 10 through March 16.

The Corsair Void Pro RGB wireless gaming headset is currently on sale for $80, which is 20 percent off its standard price. The headset includes 50mm neodymium drivers, 100Hz to 10kHz of microphone frequency response, 16 hours of battery life, and 40 feet of range. It also features a unidirectional microphone with an LED mute indicator, and it’s compatible with Windows 7, 8, and 10. You should be able to game in comfort for hours, with padded mesh material used on the band as well as both ear cups.

If you prefer the features on the Corsair HS70 wireless gaming headset, you can get it during the promotion for half the price as well. The headset is made with 50mm neodymium drivers and offers the same battery life and distance of the Void Pro. It’s also made with a plush memory foam material, and you can remove the microphone if you prefer to game without chatting. Volume and muting controls are located on the ear cups for easy access during play.

The Corsair K95 RGB Platinum mechanical keyboard is on sale as well for $160 — it typically would set you back $200. The keyboard is made with aircraft-grade anodized and brushed aluminum, and it has Cherry MX Speed RGB mechanical key switches with a travel distance of just 1.2mm. There are six programmable keys for your in-game macros, which have been specially textured to make them easier to locate. It also has 8MB of built-in storage so you can take your gaming settings with you if you travel. The keyboard comes in at just under three pounds, which should also make it easy to transport.

These Corsair products should help your gaming performance improve, but there could be something else holding you back, as well. According to Nvidia, your success in battle royale games could be tied to your graphics settings and monitor speed.

New Corsair wired gaming headsets deliver great sound at a low price
The Corsair HS65 headset and its Dolby 7.1 Surround sound USB adapter.

The Corsair HS80 RGB Wireless is one of our favorite gaming headsets at Digital Trends. But it's expensive -- no doubt about that.

Fortunately, Corsair has announced a trio of new wired gaming headsets: The HS65 Surround, HS55 Stereo, and HS80 RGB USB. Each sells for under $100 and offers many of the features and design cues that made us love the HS80 RGB Wireless.

Lord of the Rings gaming and movie rights are up for sale
middle earth shadow of war review 014196

The gaming, movie merchandising, and live event rights for The Lord of the Rings franchise are up for sale, Variety reports. 
Zaentz Co. currently holds the rights to these Lord of the Rings rights, and it is selling them with the help of ACF Investment Bank. Variety claims that these rights could be worth up to $2 billion to the right buyer. 

As for potential buyers, Variety theorized that Amazon may be a suitor because of its upcoming The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Amazon Prime television series. It would also be a compelling franchise for Amazon Game Studios to have at its disposal. Amazon previously canceled a Lord of the Rings MMO, so we wouldn't be surprised if it returned to the idea if it owned the IP rights.
Daedalic Entertainment is currently working on a game starring Gollum, though it's doubtful it could afford to buy the rights. 
Warner Bros. is also a potential buyer. It produced the popular Lord of the Rings and Hobbit film series, and WB Games has also developed several titles set in that world, including Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and Middle-earth: Shadow of War. The developer of those games is now working on a Wonder Woman game, and Variety reports that WB lost exclusive film rights last year. As such, its interest in acquiring these rights is questionable.
This deal is significant as it will play an important role in the future in terms of of what video games and films based on this franchise come out. Fans of The Lord of the Rings should keep an eye on the results of this sale.
