Corsair Gaming, Inc. (CRSR) experienced a significant pre-market surge of 34.90% on Thursday, following positive momentum from the previous trading session.

The sharp increase appears to be driven by the company's announcement that its Elgato unit has added Model Context Protocol support to Stream Deck, enabling AI assistants to execute user-approved actions across connected applications and devices. The initial integration includes NVIDIA Project G-Assist via a dedicated plugin, extending the AI assistant's capabilities beyond system settings to Stream Deck workflows.

This development positions Corsair's Stream Deck as a controlled "action layer" for on-device AI on RTX PCs and represents a strategic move into the growing AI-powered productivity and gaming accessory market. The company also indicated that additional partnerships are planned beyond the initial launch with automation platform Aitum.
