SCUF Gaming and CORSAIR announce merger

High-performance controller company SCUF Gaming has been acquired by computer peripherals and hardware company CORSAIR, with the transaction expected to complete later this month.

While CORSAIR is well-known for its PC peripherals including headsets, mice and keyboards, the acquisition of SCUF Gaming signals a move into the console market for the company.

103 granted patents, and another 55 pending regarding controllers are held by SCUF Gaming.

"We are delighted to join forces with CORSAIR, who share similar DNA to SCUF with regards to innovation and design in the gaming market. CORSAIR has the operational scale and network to help us bring our innovation to even more gamers." - Duncan Ironmonger, Founder and CEO of SCUF Gaming

SCUF Gaming will remain a separate brand within the CORSAIR family and will continue to operate from its HQ in Atlanta, as well as regional offices. The official announcement for the deal reiterates that all existing SCUF Gaming warranties, purchases and support are unaffected and will continue to be provided by SCUF Gaming.

Earlier this year, CORSAIR acquired Origin Computers, a manufacturer of custom high-performance gaming PCs and laptops, joining content creator and streaming product specialist Elgato Gaming that it had acquired in 2018 from Elgato itself and Raptor Gaming Technology.
