Xeneon Edge Review – Corsair’s Cleverest Gadget Yet
1,897Corsair's Xeneon Edge is a 14.5” touchscreen display that’s designed to go pretty much anywhere. Stick it on your desk, inside your computer, or magnetically attach it to pretty much anything metal. It features a 2560x720 60hz AHVA panel which supports up to 5-point multi touch, alongside widgets which you can customise with iCUE. Can this new touchscreen - with its widgets, gadgets and gizmos - take centre stage on your desk or in your PC?
UPDATE: We've now seen the Edge listed for £219.99 on Corsair's website: https://www.corsair.com/uk/en/p/monitors/cc-9011306-ww/xeneon-edge-14-5-lcd-touchscreen-cc-9011306-ww. This is not an affiliate link and we do not profit in any way from sales of the unit.

Pros
• Responsive touch screen
• Clever software control with iCUE and widgets
• Versatile mounting options – can be standalone, magnetic, case mounted, ¼”-20 mounted
• Bright, vibrant and crisp display
• Very useful when coupled with Elgato’s Virtual Stream Deck Software (although this will work on any monitor)
• DP Alt mode for a single cable setup on compatible systems
Cons
• Included desktop stand is not very robust and quite flimsy
• No USB passthrough, which would be useful when in desktop mode
• Widget placement feels a little restrictive with grid layout system
• No quick way to switch between widget and ‘normal’ display mode
