00:00:32,279 --> 00:00:38,399
show you guys a new headset that we have from the Chow series it's our new Chow

9
00:00:36,079 --> 00:00:41,879
Draco captain and this headset is actually with white Ro uh this is our

10
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:47,360
first headset with him we did a mouse with him if you guys um know our products we did a safira mouse so this

11
00:00:46,039 --> 00:00:52,800
headset well this series let me tell you a little about the series first so our child series is geared more towards

12
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:56,440
music lovers and lifestyle we you know we obviously have headsets geared

13
00:00:54,039 --> 00:01:00,559
towards Gamers but this specific line the Chow series is really about you know

14
00:00:58,519 --> 00:01:05,439
DJs and music enthusiast so what's really cool about this headset it kind

15
00:01:02,039 --> 00:01:08,720
of like Blends and combines the world of

16
00:01:05,439 --> 00:01:11,640
music lovers and Gamers so these are 50

17
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:17,200
m 50 mm drivers they're really big ear um ear cups as you can see so they're

18
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:18,799
really great for long-term use um I was

19
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:22,079
going to test it on you but I don't know if you want to if you want to wear it

20
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:27,200
cuz on me I have a tiny head so it's not really a great comparison actually makes

21
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:28,799
the headset look huge okay so for you I

22
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:33,680
can't see okay here okay we got it we got it almost

23
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:37,600
there we go there we go yeah so the ear the ear cups are really big theyit

24
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:42,640
comfortable they're great for longterm longterm use and um if you know a little

25
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:46,439
bit of chow series Chow series don't really have mics you know they're like I

26
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:50,320
said it's for music lovers so um they're really focusing on just you know

27
00:01:48,479 --> 00:01:55,240
long-term music so it's our first Chow headset with actually a mic attached so

28
00:01:52,600 --> 00:02:00,079
it's really cool yes mik but another thing that the Chow series does is that

29
00:01:58,159 --> 00:02:03,320
the ear cups they actually flip so for people who are like DJs or listening to

30
00:02:01,399 --> 00:02:07,439
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

31
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:10,360
hear people so you know your friends can't talk anything bad about you they

32
00:02:09,119 --> 00:02:18,840
know and then this side you can listen so you can actually do that with the Chow uh captains too so um the Chow

33
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:21,760
headsets are these ones are $79.99 which

34
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:25,720
is our the regular Chows and then our Chow signatures are kind of the premiums

35
00:02:23,879 --> 00:02:30,040
you know they have the goldplated and the cable is removable so with the new

36
00:02:27,959 --> 00:02:34,040
child Captain headset it actually has pretty much all the features of both the

37
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:37,000
headsets and it's priced at $79.99 so it's really kind of competitive price

38
00:02:35,959 --> 00:02:43,080
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

39
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:46,120
look and it actually matches the safira mouse if you're familiar with that too

40
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:50,280
so yeah that's pretty much our new headset it's very interesting yeah guess

41
00:02:48,879 --> 00:02:54,680
we can go on and see other stuff so first of all as you can see um when we

42
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:59,239
start first started we have all these these different colors of the sephira

43
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:02,720
mice so really all this is is um we've expanded on the sehir series because

44
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:07,480
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

45
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,640
really offering more colors this year and you know a different finish the

46
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:15,440
original Mouse is black with the matte finish and these ones are gloss so we

47
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:17,840
have it in red the combat green white uh

48
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:22,280
yellow camouflage blue orange just a ton of colors just because um we want to

49
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:26,000
offer more you know personalization with this mouth so pretty much that's it you

50
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:31,400
know all the all the features are the same um nothing too new but uh we

51
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:36,200
definitely want to EXP band Upon A lot of the products that people really like

52
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:39,480
and give them more options this is our

53
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:41,599
gallero I feel like I'm uh I'm like just

54
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:46,599
playing with it already I stop okay this is the gallero and this is a mouse

55
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:48,040
bungee so basically really simple idea

56
00:03:46,599 --> 00:03:52,200
um you know you have a bunch of cables in the back of the computer and sometimes you're playing with the mouse

57
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:57,239
and it'll get snagged on like your monitor or the side of your keyboard or

58
00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:01,239
it'll just get tangled in the back of all the other wires so what it really

59
00:03:58,959 --> 00:04:04,799
does is it just manages that and makes sure that it doesn't get snagged on

60
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:08,799
anything yeah and it's you can actually collapse it's it's a magnet so you just

61
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:12,360
pop it into place and it's really easy to bring with you if you're gaming

62
00:04:10,239 --> 00:04:15,879
anywhere else but um you just put it here and you can choose however much

63
00:04:14,239 --> 00:04:19,000
slack you need if you're one of those people who are crazy and they go all

64
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:23,280
over the M you just yeah you put in there it doesn't come out unless of

65
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:26,400
course you know you try to throw it but um so you can choose how much slack you

66
00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:30,120
need you know some people need a lot like this or some people have a little

67
00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:35,039
but that's it's just basically cable management for your mouse MSRP is

68
00:04:33,039 --> 00:04:38,639
$4.99 nothing more frustrating than getting Mouse tug right before you kill

69
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:43,000
someone I get really pissed and sometimes I'm like just like like Mouse

70
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:47,160
and I pull it and it'll just snap out of the back which just really bad never a

71
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:51,560
good thing so that'll solve that problem all right I guess we can move on over to

72
00:04:49,039 --> 00:04:55,320
keyboards over here actually Sur surise one more thing surprise Mouse the mouse

73
00:04:53,840 --> 00:05:00,080
that we were actually playing I was I was looking at that I noticed the side

74
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:04,400
there it's a new mouse No it's it's just um it's colors different colors so you

75
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:08,880
can remember if you if you know instead of numbers we use colors and letters

76
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:12,680
like you know if we had the triangles and the circles it'd be like PS3 okay

77
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:19,039
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

78
00:05:17,479 --> 00:05:23,840
Gamers or people who need a lot of like macros or hot keys this one has up to 14

79
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:27,560
macro Keys adjustable weights as usual uh profiles that you can store inside

80
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:32,639
the mouse we have memory inside and of course the weights of course I show you

81
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:35,000
uh um can take out the weights there's

82
00:05:32,639 --> 00:05:38,520
weights in here so everybody likes that you know I'm actually a type of person

83
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:41,240
who likes heavier mouses yeah me too I usually put all the weight I possibly

84
00:05:40,039 --> 00:05:45,440
can people complain though some people like it's too heavy I can't move it I

85
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:48,280
love heavy mice awesome great for accurate this mouse is actually a little

86
00:05:46,759 --> 00:05:54,440
bit bigger than most of our other mouses if you want to rip it yeah mice mice

87
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:57,280
mice that's very cool I claw grip but I claw grip with really big mice because I

88
00:05:56,039 --> 00:06:02,199
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

89
00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:07,120
be like graceful move it is that really how you play yeah does the side have a

90
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:11,440
grip the side does have grip right along here um and the buttons are nice because

91
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:15,680
you can easily feel where each one is and they are colorcoded so if you have to glance what's interesting is I never

92
00:06:14,199 --> 00:06:18,599
really did this before I was playing with this SME actually is the buttons

93
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:22,199
right here there's actually two right here and um I kind of grip this way so I

94
00:06:20,919 --> 00:06:26,599
don't you know it's like kind of perfect for where I have it but I use actually

95
00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:30,080
like the middle part of my thumb and it works really well like I can hit here

96
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:33,639
and I usually use the buttons on side like for FPS gaming like when I prone or

97
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:37,919
when I like Melee so those are kind of really good buttons I might even actually playay it with FPS but it's

98
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:42,319
definitely we offer a lot more buttons this is the most we offered on a mouse

99
00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:44,319
and MSRP is $79.99 and we're expecting

100
00:06:42,319 --> 00:06:47,240
for it to come out in the spring we're really pushing towards mechanical

101
00:06:45,639 --> 00:06:51,680
keyboards this year it's getting really popular yeah for sure I I have multiple

102
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:55,120
mechanical keyboards see I I wasn't gaming with mechanical keyboards at

103
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:58,599
first but it really has become really popular in the last couple years I I I

104
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:02,160
use mechanical and I can't turn back now yeah once you try it

105
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:07,080
Yeah so basically what we're trying to do is offer more options for gamers uh

106
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:10,879
nothing too crazy not like you know a bajillion macros but you know we're

107
00:07:09,039 --> 00:07:15,080
starting slow seeing what people like and then building upon a good base so

108
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:19,800
our original Mecca and meca G units our original Mecha G1 just had it's a pretty

109
00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:23,319
standard layout um and it the default was black switches so now what we're

110
00:07:21,319 --> 00:07:26,560
trying to do is offer more switches give people more choices of what they like

111
00:07:24,919 --> 00:07:30,440
some people like Reds some people like blues uh Browns so we're actually

112
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:34,440
picking those up this year here so we actually got our red switches on the

113
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:39,039
Mecha G Unit which is back here if you want to play with it it might actually

114
00:07:36,319 --> 00:07:44,159
be loud it's just like TI T that's not too bad like Reds yeah yeah red Reds are

115
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,800
usually quite quiet actually we have Reds and the One keyboard I think

116
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:51,520
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

117
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:55,280
tournaments you know they're like waiting for the our new um Prime

118
00:07:53,560 --> 00:08:00,240
keyboard so this is our new Mecha G1 Prime that's what I've been looking at yeah exactly this is our keyboard made

119
00:07:58,639 --> 00:08:03,960
by team so everything you see here the colors

120
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:08,080
that they chose and the layout is customized by them and how they play the

121
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:11,879
game so it's in Korean too Obviously good thing they have English too cuz I

122
00:08:09,159 --> 00:08:16,440
wouldn't be able to read it yeah but as you can see it has their logo Prime

123
00:08:14,599 --> 00:08:20,360
Escape key yeah so anytime you try to escape you know it's like oh you're

124
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:24,120
hitting the prime gate don't escape don't escape fight the battle very cool

125
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:28,680
looking keyboard awesome c yeah these ones are actually Brown switches by I

126
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:33,360
really like the Browns um they're definitely ones that I think if you're a

127
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:37,279
gamer who likes a keyboard with you know that that feedback but nothing like

128
00:08:34,959 --> 00:08:40,599
super loud I think Brown's a good medium in the middle to have but you know like

129
00:08:38,839 --> 00:08:44,519
we said we have Reds we're going to get Blues um and we still have our blacks a

130
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:49,080
lot of people do like the blacks so what we did too is for the Mecha G1 this is a

131
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:51,959
mecha1 illuminated so now we're offering options like backlighting a lot of

132
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:57,640
people like back yeah people have been asking for back lighting right now it's just red LED but maybe in the future we

133
00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:02,120
we'll have more if if people want it you know yeah yeah it's good so the m SRP

134
00:08:59,839 --> 00:09:05,880
for both of these are actually $149.99 USD right and as you can see on this

135
00:09:03,839 --> 00:09:10,760
white one back here they've got lighting zones that you can set up show how we do

136
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:16,680
that so these this one actually is it's not fully lit um it it's just the

137
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:22,640
special keys you know like the WD for FPS Gamers and then the arrows um it's

138
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:26,000
not all lit it's just you know certain areas I think some people they don't

139
00:09:24,079 --> 00:09:29,480
really like a fully lit keyboard y they just want you know the keys that they

140
00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:33,920

142
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,200
