welcome to lonus Tech tips at CES 2013 our trip to the show this year is
powered by Corsair maker of quality PC components and peripherals our trusted
storage partner is Seagate technology and our trusted networking partner is
linkis guys I'm here at the thermal te Booth checking out their Chow series
headsets I'm going to pass you guys off to Kitty right here hey guys um I'm
going to say that I lost my voice so that's why I sound funny like maybe like
a 12-year-old boy but ignore that hope you guys can ignore that um so I want to
show you guys a new headset that we have from the Chow series it's our new Chow
Draco captain and this headset is actually with white Ro uh this is our
first headset with him we did a mouse with him if you guys um know our products we did a safira mouse so this
headset well this series let me tell you a little about the series first so our child series is geared more towards
music lovers and lifestyle we you know we obviously have headsets geared
towards Gamers but this specific line the Chow series is really about you know
DJs and music enthusiast so what's really cool about this headset it kind
of like Blends and combines the world of
music lovers and Gamers so these are 50
m 50 mm drivers they're really big ear um ear cups as you can see so they're
really great for long-term use um I was
going to test it on you but I don't know if you want to if you want to wear it
cuz on me I have a tiny head so it's not really a great comparison actually makes
the headset look huge okay so for you I
can't see okay here okay we got it we got it almost
there we go there we go yeah so the ear the ear cups are really big theyit
comfortable they're great for longterm longterm use and um if you know a little
bit of chow series Chow series don't really have mics you know they're like I
said it's for music lovers so um they're really focusing on just you know
long-term music so it's our first Chow headset with actually a mic attached so
it's really cool yes mik but another thing that the Chow series does is that
the ear cups they actually flip so for people who are like DJs or listening to
music you can actually flip it and one you don't have to like move it to the side you can flip one side so you can
hear people so you know your friends can't talk anything bad about you they
know and then this side you can listen so you can actually do that with the Chow uh captains too so um the Chow
headsets are these ones are $79.99 which
is our the regular Chows and then our Chow signatures are kind of the premiums
you know they have the goldplated and the cable is removable so with the new
child Captain headset it actually has pretty much all the features of both the
headsets and it's priced at $79.99 so it's really kind of competitive price
the only thing it doesn't have is kind of like the gold plate but I'm a bigger fan of that kind of sleek Sleek matte
look and it actually matches the safira mouse if you're familiar with that too
so yeah that's pretty much our new headset it's very interesting yeah guess
we can go on and see other stuff so first of all as you can see um when we
start first started we have all these these different colors of the sephira
mice so really all this is is um we've expanded on the sehir series because
everybody really liked that Mouse you know it was a favorite for a lot of people it's a favorite of mine so we're
really offering more colors this year and you know a different finish the
original Mouse is black with the matte finish and these ones are gloss so we
have it in red the combat green white uh
yellow camouflage blue orange just a ton of colors just because um we want to
offer more you know personalization with this mouth so pretty much that's it you
know all the all the features are the same um nothing too new but uh we
definitely want to EXP band Upon A lot of the products that people really like
and give them more options this is our
gallero I feel like I'm uh I'm like just
playing with it already I stop okay this is the gallero and this is a mouse
bungee so basically really simple idea
um you know you have a bunch of cables in the back of the computer and sometimes you're playing with the mouse
and it'll get snagged on like your monitor or the side of your keyboard or
it'll just get tangled in the back of all the other wires so what it really
does is it just manages that and makes sure that it doesn't get snagged on
anything yeah and it's you can actually collapse it's it's a magnet so you just
pop it into place and it's really easy to bring with you if you're gaming
anywhere else but um you just put it here and you can choose however much
slack you need if you're one of those people who are crazy and they go all
over the M you just yeah you put in there it doesn't come out unless of
course you know you try to throw it but um so you can choose how much slack you
need you know some people need a lot like this or some people have a little
but that's it's just basically cable management for your mouse MSRP is
$4.99 nothing more frustrating than getting Mouse tug right before you kill
someone I get really pissed and sometimes I'm like just like like Mouse
and I pull it and it'll just snap out of the back which just really bad never a
good thing so that'll solve that problem all right I guess we can move on over to
keyboards over here actually Sur surise one more thing surprise Mouse the mouse
that we were actually playing I was I was looking at that I noticed the side
there it's a new mouse No it's it's just um it's colors different colors so you
can remember if you if you know instead of numbers we use colors and letters
like you know if we had the triangles and the circles it'd be like PS3 okay
that's not that's not what we're talking about here today okay so the Volos Mouse really is um more for people who are MMO
Gamers or people who need a lot of like macros or hot keys this one has up to 14
macro Keys adjustable weights as usual uh profiles that you can store inside
the mouse we have memory inside and of course the weights of course I show you
uh um can take out the weights there's
weights in here so everybody likes that you know I'm actually a type of person
who likes heavier mouses yeah me too I usually put all the weight I possibly
can people complain though some people like it's too heavy I can't move it I
love heavy mice awesome great for accurate this mouse is actually a little
bit bigger than most of our other mouses if you want to rip it yeah mice mice
mice that's very cool I claw grip but I claw grip with really big mice because I
have a really big hand so that's actually really cool cuz I can still go all around with a CLA grip you want to
be like graceful move it is that really how you play yeah does the side have a
grip the side does have grip right along here um and the buttons are nice because
you can easily feel where each one is and they are colorcoded so if you have to glance what's interesting is I never
really did this before I was playing with this SME actually is the buttons
right here there's actually two right here and um I kind of grip this way so I
don't you know it's like kind of perfect for where I have it but I use actually
like the middle part of my thumb and it works really well like I can hit here
and I usually use the buttons on side like for FPS gaming like when I prone or
when I like Melee so those are kind of really good buttons I might even actually playay it with FPS but it's
definitely we offer a lot more buttons this is the most we offered on a mouse
and MSRP is $79.99 and we're expecting
for it to come out in the spring we're really pushing towards mechanical
keyboards this year it's getting really popular yeah for sure I I have multiple
mechanical keyboards see I I wasn't gaming with mechanical keyboards at
first but it really has become really popular in the last couple years I I I
use mechanical and I can't turn back now yeah once you try it
Yeah so basically what we're trying to do is offer more options for gamers uh
nothing too crazy not like you know a bajillion macros but you know we're
starting slow seeing what people like and then building upon a good base so
our original Mecca and meca G units our original Mecha G1 just had it's a pretty
standard layout um and it the default was black switches so now what we're
trying to do is offer more switches give people more choices of what they like
some people like Reds some people like blues uh Browns so we're actually
picking those up this year here so we actually got our red switches on the
Mecha G Unit which is back here if you want to play with it it might actually
be loud it's just like TI T that's not too bad like Reds yeah yeah red Reds are
usually quite quiet actually we have Reds and the One keyboard I think
everyone's been waiting for at least me cuz I've been a lot of people been asking me especially when I go to esport
tournaments you know they're like waiting for the our new um Prime
keyboard so this is our new Mecha G1 Prime that's what I've been looking at yeah exactly this is our keyboard made
by team so everything you see here the colors
that they chose and the layout is customized by them and how they play the
game so it's in Korean too Obviously good thing they have English too cuz I
wouldn't be able to read it yeah but as you can see it has their logo Prime
Escape key yeah so anytime you try to escape you know it's like oh you're
hitting the prime gate don't escape don't escape fight the battle very cool
looking keyboard awesome c yeah these ones are actually Brown switches by I
really like the Browns um they're definitely ones that I think if you're a
gamer who likes a keyboard with you know that that feedback but nothing like
super loud I think Brown's a good medium in the middle to have but you know like
we said we have Reds we're going to get Blues um and we still have our blacks a
lot of people do like the blacks so what we did too is for the Mecha G1 this is a
mecha1 illuminated so now we're offering options like backlighting a lot of
people like back yeah people have been asking for back lighting right now it's just red LED but maybe in the future we
we'll have more if if people want it you know yeah yeah it's good so the m SRP
for both of these are actually $149.99 USD right and as you can see on this
white one back here they've got lighting zones that you can set up show how we do
that so these this one actually is it's not fully lit um it it's just the
special keys you know like the WD for FPS Gamers and then the arrows um it's
not all lit it's just you know certain areas I think some people they don't
really like a fully lit keyboard y they just want you know the keys that they
matter yeah they main gaming Keys all yeah so so this one is actually just
certain keys but um this one is priced at $139.99
