Surprise to learn that Corsair acquires Elgato Gaming, for a figure that has not been disclosed and that should not generate changes in the acquired brand.
The gaming peripherals market has taken a new leap after the largest manufacturer of gaming peripherals, such as Corsair, announced the acquisition of Elgato Gaming, the most important video capture solutions brand on the market. The operation has been carried out through Drake Star Partners, a banking company that focuses on investment, providing services at a global level in the technology, media and communications segments.

In this case, the financial services company has advised Elgato Gaming in this transaction, where Bird & Bird has also acted, for legal advice.

We do not know the amount that Corsair has paid to acquire Elgato Gaming, since this has been omitted for the moment and there is no data on how much this operation could have cost.
Corsair has ensured that Elgato Gaming will continue to act as a completely independent brand and will be a separate division under the name Eve Systems. The acquisition, of course, has taken us all by surprise, but what this company really contributes to Corsair is to continue with an expansion to other segments and markets, something that can allow the company to attract more public.
Elgato Gaming is a well-known company in the content and streaming market, and the most important in the gaming segment on YouTube and Twitch. We hope that Corsair does not interfere excessively in Elgato, but hey, if it does it will surely be to give an upward push, because both brands are very prominent in their main niche markets.
