UGAHacks 4 First Time Hacking - CORSAIR K68 and Glaive mouse
It was your first time at a hackathon. You braved the stormy seas and you made it to the venue. You stuck with your project for 36 hours. And now you show it to your judges. Maybe you don't have a project as grand as the winning team. But you persevered alone and turned in a cool, working project. CORSAIR understands that and gives you the K68 and Glaive mouse. We hope to see you next year!
