linkis guys I'm here at the thermal te Booth checking out their Chow series

00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:25.840
headsets I'm going to pass you guys off to Kitty right here hey guys um I'm

00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:30.119
going to say that I lost my voice so that's why I sound funny like maybe like

00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:33.600
a 12-year-old boy but ignore that hope you guys can ignore that um so I want to

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

00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:41.879
Draco captain and this headset is actually with white Ro uh this is our

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

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

00:00:50.680 --> 00:00:56.440
music lovers and lifestyle we you know we obviously have headsets geared

00:00:54.039 --> 00:01:00.559
towards Gamers but this specific line the Chow series is really about you know

00:00:58.519 --> 00:01:05.439
DJs and music enthusiast so what's really cool about this headset it kind

00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:08.720
of like Blends and combines the world of

00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:11.640
music lovers and Gamers so these are 50

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

00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:18.799
really great for long-term use um I was

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

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

00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:28.799
the headset look huge okay so for you I

00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:33.680
can't see okay here okay we got it we got it almost

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

00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:42.640
comfortable they're great for longterm longterm use and um if you know a little

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

00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:50.320
said it's for music lovers so um they're really focusing on just you know

00:01:48.479 --> 00:01:55.240
long-term music so it's our first Chow headset with actually a mic attached so

00:01:52.600 --> 00:02:00.079
it's really cool yes mik but another thing that the Chow series does is that

00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:03.320
the ear cups they actually flip so for people who are like DJs or listening to

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

00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:10.360
hear people so you know your friends can't talk anything bad about you they

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

00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:21.760
headsets are these ones are $79.99 which

00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:25.720
is our the regular Chows and then our Chow signatures are kind of the premiums

00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:30.040
you know they have the goldplated and the cable is removable so with the new

00:02:27.959 --> 00:02:34.040
child Captain headset it actually has pretty much all the features of both the

00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:37.000
headsets and it's priced at $79.99 so it's really kind of competitive price

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

00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:46.120
look and it actually matches the safira mouse if you're familiar with that too

00:02:44.760 --> 00:02:50.280
so yeah that's pretty much our new headset it's very interesting yeah guess

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

00:02:52.440 --> 00:02:59.239
start first started we have all these these different colors of the sephira

00:02:56.440 --> 00:03:02.720
mice so really all this is is um we've expanded on the sehir series because

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

00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:10.640
really offering more colors this year and you know a different finish the

00:03:09.040 --> 00:03:15.440
original Mouse is black with the matte finish and these ones are gloss so we

00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:17.840
have it in red the combat green white uh

00:03:15.440 --> 00:03:22.280
yellow camouflage blue orange just a ton of colors just because um we want to

00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:26.000
offer more you know personalization with this mouth so pretty much that's it you

00:03:24.720 --> 00:03:31.400
know all the all the features are the same um nothing too new but uh we

00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:36.200
definitely want to EXP band Upon A lot of the products that people really like

00:03:33.200 --> 00:03:39.480
and give them more options this is our

00:03:36.200 --> 00:03:41.599
gallero I feel like I'm uh I'm like just

00:03:39.480 --> 00:03:46.599
playing with it already I stop okay this is the gallero and this is a mouse

00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:48.040
bungee so basically really simple idea

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

00:03:50.760 --> 00:03:57.239
and it'll get snagged on like your monitor or the side of your keyboard or

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

00:03:58.959 --> 00:04:04.799
does is it just manages that and makes sure that it doesn't get snagged on

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

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

00:04:10.239 --> 00:04:15.879
anywhere else but um you just put it here and you can choose however much

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

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

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

00:04:24.840 --> 00:04:30.120
need you know some people need a lot like this or some people have a little

00:04:28.280 --> 00:04:35.039
but that's it's just basically cable management for your mouse MSRP is

00:04:33.039 --> 00:04:38.639
$4.99 nothing more frustrating than getting Mouse tug right before you kill

00:04:36.520 --> 00:04:43.000
someone I get really pissed and sometimes I'm like just like like Mouse

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

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

00:04:49.039 --> 00:04:55.320
keyboards over here actually Sur surise one more thing surprise Mouse the mouse

00:04:53.840 --> 00:05:00.080
that we were actually playing I was I was looking at that I noticed the side

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

00:05:01.960 --> 00:05:08.880
can remember if you if you know instead of numbers we use colors and letters

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

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

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

00:05:21.440 --> 00:05:27.560
macro Keys adjustable weights as usual uh profiles that you can store inside

00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:32.639
the mouse we have memory inside and of course the weights of course I show you

00:05:29.520 --> 00:05:35.000
uh um can take out the weights there's

00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:38.520
weights in here so everybody likes that you know I'm actually a type of person

00:05:36.520 --> 00:05:41.240
who likes heavier mouses yeah me too I usually put all the weight I possibly

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

00:05:43.400 --> 00:05:48.280
love heavy mice awesome great for accurate this mouse is actually a little

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

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

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

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

00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:11.440
grip the side does have grip right along here um and the buttons are nice because

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

00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:18.599
really did this before I was playing with this SME actually is the buttons

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

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

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

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

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

00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:42.319
definitely we offer a lot more buttons this is the most we offered on a mouse

00:06:39.280 --> 00:06:44.319
and MSRP is $79.99 and we're expecting

00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:47.240
for it to come out in the spring we're really pushing towards mechanical

00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:51.680
keyboards this year it's getting really popular yeah for sure I I have multiple

00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:55.120
mechanical keyboards see I I wasn't gaming with mechanical keyboards at

00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:58.599
first but it really has become really popular in the last couple years I I I

00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:02.160
use mechanical and I can't turn back now yeah once you try it

00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:07.080
Yeah so basically what we're trying to do is offer more options for gamers uh

00:07:04.400 --> 00:07:10.879
nothing too crazy not like you know a bajillion macros but you know we're

00:07:09.039 --> 00:07:15.080
starting slow seeing what people like and then building upon a good base so

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

00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:23.319
standard layout um and it the default was black switches so now what we're

00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:26.560
trying to do is offer more switches give people more choices of what they like

00:07:24.919 --> 00:07:30.440
some people like Reds some people like blues uh Browns so we're actually

00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:34.440
picking those up this year here so we actually got our red switches on the

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

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

00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:47.800
usually quite quiet actually we have Reds and the One keyboard I think

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

00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:55.280
tournaments you know they're like waiting for the our new um Prime

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

00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:03.960
by team so everything you see here the colors

00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:08.080
that they chose and the layout is customized by them and how they play the

00:08:05.520 --> 00:08:11.879
game so it's in Korean too Obviously good thing they have English too cuz I

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

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

00:08:17.960 --> 00:08:24.120
hitting the prime gate don't escape don't escape fight the battle very cool

00:08:22.400 --> 00:08:28.680
looking keyboard awesome c yeah these ones are actually Brown switches by I

00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:33.360
really like the Browns um they're definitely ones that I think if you're a

00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:37.279
gamer who likes a keyboard with you know that that feedback but nothing like

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

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

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

00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:51.959
mecha1 illuminated so now we're offering options like backlighting a lot of

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:09:24.079 --> 00:09:29.480
really like a fully lit keyboard y they just want you know the keys that they

00:09:27.680 --> 00:09:33.920
matter yeah they main gaming Keys all yeah so so this one is actually just

00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:37.160
certain keys but um this one is priced at $139.99

00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:49.200
USD
