Corsair is best known for its advanced desktops and utilities, especially game headsets, keyboards, and monitors, but now the hardware maker is stepping into laptops, and is setting himself apart by selecting the touch play bar.

Unveiled at Computex today, the Corsair Voyager a1600 is a 16-inch gaming laptop that fully operates on AMD components. But the highlight when you look at the design is the Corsair version of the MacBook Touch Bar, which is a line of ten easy-to-access shortcuts (called S keys). This does not sit in the top row of the keyboard but as a separate panel attached to the top of the keyboard. Photo of Corsair Voyager a1600: Corsair Photos provided by Corsair show these buttons divided into two to five groups on each side of the panel. Defined by attractive style brackets, each S key is a different color, magnifying the RGB keyboard below with a rainbow of hues. They look good, but what are the benefits? Sadly, Corsair did not elaborate. However, considering that they use the Elgato Steam Deck software, they are probably most widely used to control live streaming or to set hot keys in other applications. The panel line, by the way, shows the remaining battery life. We can also imagine that you could use these as great keys to in-game actions, with a video exposing a portable computer directly calling the panel a large bar, though Corsair has not yet specified any built-in macro functionality.

Corsair does not force you to use these capacitive buttons — they are always available when you need them.

On the deck there is a full-size Cherry MX keyboard with a bright profile with each RGB key. At the top is a 1080p webcam with a visible shutter to block the lens once you have finished streaming. At 14 x 11.29 x 0.78 inches and 5.29 pounds, the Voyager is portable compared to the service it delivers.
