00:00:00,399 --> 00:00:07,040
welcome to lonus Tech tips at CES 2013 our trip to the show this year is

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:11,360
powered by Corsair maker of quality PC components and peripherals our trusted

3
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:16,760
storage partner is Seagate technology and our trusted networking partner is

4
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:22,720
linkis okay very competitive for a backl keyboard all right moving on you brought

5
00:00:21,279 --> 00:00:27,400
up the headphone amp and all these headphones earlier and you seemed really excited so let's go over these yes I'm

6
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:31,039
okay I'm going to try not to get too excited about the one I'm going to try to go through all of them right I get

7
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:37,200
yeah I'm more excited about some products than others just because you know like I love playing and testing

8
00:00:34,079 --> 00:00:38,680
them but up at the top we have our shock

9
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:43,520
um these are actually just more color options for the shock headset so no

10
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:47,280
nothing has really changed we have improved upon um I would say the quality

11
00:00:45,879 --> 00:00:52,960
you know we've got some feedback on what people wanted more of the cups you know the the the material stuff like that so

12
00:00:51,039 --> 00:00:56,120
so we had a little a little bit change you know but the features are all the

13
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,760
same it's very cool people like customizing all their peripherals to go

14
00:00:57,719 --> 00:01:03,320
with the color of their system and you know what it is it's most people have

15
00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:07,400
like the standard red blue and black and white but a lot of teams now like Pro

16
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:10,560
Gamers have a lot of different colors like especially gamma Bears we we just

17
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:14,200
picked them up like you know the yellows and orange so more vibrant stuff yeah so

18
00:01:12,479 --> 00:01:18,200
we're trying to make sure that we cover as many colors as possible um and then

19
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:23,600
if there's a color that people really like you know we might we might have it come out like rainbow or something

20
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:27,520
rainbow that would be interesting yeah so this is our Bahamut our Bahamut is

21
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:32,079
our new and first and only external sound card we really want to get into

22
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:35,399
this field yeah uh we think that there's not really a lot out there offered I

23
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:40,640
mean there there are some great ones out there but um it can't hurt to have more

24
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:43,840
oh yeah definitely not yeah so our Bahamut is actually going to be

25
00:01:42,119 --> 00:01:51,280
available probably by the end of this month it's by USB and the MSRP is

26
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:55,520
$49.99 cool very cool so you can plug whatever you want here that takes a mic

27
00:01:52,439 --> 00:01:58,520
input as well yep very

28
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:04,880
cool here you go and do this like you

29
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:04,880
know like and B show the input and then

30
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:12,879
here show me that input very nice I like the the inscription right

31
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:17,640
around the outs side tte Esports gaming very cool T ESP Sports all right I don't

32
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:21,640
know what accent that is okay so AIA stuffs just really quickly because this

33
00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:26,959
is you know uh pretty much the same as our other aeras we did change the cable

34
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:31,200
so that's it's a flat cable very nice I love flat cable I know cuz I hate when

35
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:34,040
they I hate when they tangle piss me off uh so the reason why we're still pushing

36
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:37,280
towards earbuds or we really want to push towards is because and we've been

37
00:02:35,879 --> 00:02:43,720
talking a lot about Starcraft 2o so it seems like you're familiar with that very well so have you noed and Diesel

38
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:47,480
are actually I didn't notice this until someone else in the company told me this

39
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:50,879
I was like I like I like headphones but they're like you know what a lot of

40
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:54,239
Starcraft 2 players have the in earbuds have you noticed like and then they wear

41
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:57,720
headphones they wear noise cing and I was like wait a second they do yeah so I

42
00:02:56,519 --> 00:03:03,120
was like oh yeah and he's like yeah we're gonna try to offer more of that to Gamers who kind of want an alternative

43
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:06,760
to uh headphones you know cuz a lot of Gamers actually do want that so we're

44
00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:10,040
pushing towards that so we still have that we're going to be we're going to be

45
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:13,560
trying to offer more of those um and then last not not last actually I want

46
00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:19,159
to save that for last but you know what let's do this the Kronos headset is the one that I'm most excited for it's a new

47
00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:25,000
headset and the Kronos headset right now comes in white and black with the red

48
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:30,200
the red accent TT Sports go inside that looks awesome yeah I love outside like I

49
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:34,120
really like it maybe I don't know I'm crazy but I don't really like it so

50
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:38,720
these ones are a lot I would say they're for fashionable but yeah yeah and those

51
00:03:36,959 --> 00:03:42,920
ones glow as well you can see that so when they're plugged in they glow and

52
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:47,920
these ones the the cable comes out it comes out of Leo Leo uh do they go the

53
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:53,519
exact same red as these ones yeah yeah they're both they're both red these ones are we wanted to make them kind of

54
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:57,640
fashionable easy to uh carry with you you know they collapse you can wear them

55
00:03:55,239 --> 00:04:01,439
on your shoulders like this okay so yeah it's like the fashion of gamer

56
00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:11,480
I don't know I keep saying look throw them on throw on throw them on we'll see how they fit ow the fashion of gamer and

57
00:04:08,239 --> 00:04:15,040
then you're like this you're like I glow

58
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:17,400
I glow I can Rave with these if you have

59
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:21,120
something to plug it in too right um so these also they're they're mobile ready

60
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:26,080
which means you can actually we we have a cable for you can plug it into your

61
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:27,840
phone and you can talk in the mic for

62
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,520
your phone and listen to music so instead of a Bluetooth you can do the

63
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:35,960
complete opposite and be like yo I'm cool I'm a pilot I'm driving my car so

out our thermal take coverage uh if you want to see all of our CS content

73
00:05:11,039 --> 00:05:17,160
subscribe to lineus Tech tips back again guys I cut her off before she was done

74
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:21,160
and we totally forgot to cover these awesome looking mice that were designed

75
00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:26,000
in collaboration with BMW Design Group so I'm going to get her to tell us about

76
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:28,720
these really just kidding trying to do

77
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:33,280
like Wonka um yeah um these are these are in collaboration with BMW design

78
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:38,319
works so they design a mouse with us together that's you know combines the

79
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:42,160
sleekness of a car and the awesome gaming qualities of a mouse uh we

80
00:05:40,759 --> 00:05:47,039
actually released this a while a little while ago but we just launched a couple

81
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:53,160
new colors we have the new yellow the Hello Kitty pink that's for someone um

82
00:05:51,039 --> 00:05:57,800
and then we have our battle Edition green we did announce our red a little

83
00:05:55,600 --> 00:06:01,600
while ago but it hasn't been available so now you know we're displaying it um

84
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:06,360
would you like me to tell you a little bit about the mouse yeah let's start with this awesome looking thing here on

85
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:11,039
the side yes so so that really actually is

86
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:15,599
um designed to kind of be like the overdrive or the the steering of a car

87
00:06:13,479 --> 00:06:19,039
so it really goes like in all directions and then you can hit down on it and what

88
00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:23,039
it does is it changes the profiles and it actually raises and lowers the DPI

89
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:26,720
but you can change it to do other stuff but you know that's what it's originally

90
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:31,440
for it's got two additional buttons up here on the side and then two on the

91
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:34,280
right side right so that's actually pretty cool because depending on what

92
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,639
game you're playing you might want different DPI levels like say you're

93
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:43,440
playing Battlefield and you want to drive a tank instead of just running around you want different DBI level it

94
00:06:40,599 --> 00:06:47,720
actually goes up to 82 8200 well there's a software that can help you bring it up

95
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:52,120
to that yeah so um what this mouse does in terms of customization is and okay so

96
00:06:50,639 --> 00:06:55,440
someone said it was something like it was like a steering more like the car

97
00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:00,080
like going back and forth so I was relating it to the seat you know when you can move the seat up and down so it

98
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:05,280
actually comes with a screw and you can move you can change a degree

99
00:07:02,879 --> 00:07:09,160
of this back part right here um up or down depending on which way you tilt

100
00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:13,720
your hand tilts on top of the mouse and it also actually shifts left to right so

101
00:07:12,039 --> 00:07:17,840
this can actually be an ambidextrous Mouse so left-handed Gamers can use this

102
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:20,759
you can shift it to the other side and then you can use since it's kind of like

103
00:07:19,319 --> 00:07:24,280
the shape is kind of symmetrical you can use the other direction the only

104
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:28,319
difference is is that the buttons will be kind of different but you know you

105
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:31,039
can that's that's the one thing the pro the actually you know it works this way

106
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:34,360
the gamer will just have to get used to the preference of which buttons on what

107
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:39,120
side that's really cool because a lot of ambidextrous mice are just too

108
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:42,720
straightforward on the back and this one you can actually make it tilt probably

109
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:46,159
that's really cool it tilts like degrees to the either to the left or the right

110
00:07:44,159 --> 00:07:50,440
direction so that's using that jobber right there and as you can see it's a

111
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:53,680
full aluminum Bay so it's pretty sturdy that's very cool I personally like

112
00:07:52,039 --> 00:07:57,479
really heavy mice and through talking I figured out that you and Diesel also

113
00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:01,000
like really heavy mice so full aluminum base is a really really cool thing to

114
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:05,479
have and it's definitely for people who like longterm and uh longterm gaming we

115
00:08:04,159 --> 00:08:09,360
we actually have these kind of bumpers for to help it Glide too but you know

116
00:08:07,479 --> 00:08:13,960
for people who have a habit actually kind of have a habit of when when it's

117
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:17,639
more when I play FPS games uh I pick up like when I'm trying to turn around I

118
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:20,879
kind of pick up the mouse and like I hit it back down but I have a mouse pad so

119
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:26,400
at least it's softer but you know I definitely um the bottom of my mouse

120
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:29,720
definitely takes some toll it's not just the top when I'm like clicking fiercely

121
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:32,599
but the bottom because you you're rubbing it against the surface for

122
00:08:31,319 --> 00:08:36,880
that's like the probably the part that you want it to be the most durable so

123
00:08:34,560 --> 00:08:39,560
yeah so having a full aluminum bottom is actually really really good for

124
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:43,240
durability we're playing with this one the most we're being so biased this the

125
00:08:41,599 --> 00:08:46,839
closest one but it's we'll pick up we'll pick up Diesel's favorite Mouse here so

126
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:52,120
these LEDs on right here will show you different DPI levels very very cool and

127
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:57,399
the MSRP is $999.99 sorry MSRP is $99.99 I'm trying

128
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:01,920
to figure out what Diesel's telling me I think he's talking about the string

129
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:08,040
relief right here so do you want to tell me about this I was going to say it's just

130
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:11,040
because it's cool to represent DT Sport

131
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:13,600
but you know I like you can cable coil

132
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:17,360
in here but honestly it's it's it's just part of the design to have the logo up

133
00:09:15,560 --> 00:09:21,040
here as as far as I know there's not anything like too special it doesn't

134
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:25,399
shoot lasers or anything but um if you want it to we'll we'll look into

135
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:28,600
production for laser shooting at the top laser shooting well oh another thing I

136
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:33,920
gu to feature is if you if you look inside it's kind of hollow so it's it's

137
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:37,920
really great for airflow as you can see they have has the honeycomb kind of

138
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:41,600
holes at the top so air flow is really important about this m since it's got

139
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:45,240
It's got holes in all Direction so so so someone's got a serious sweaty sweaty

140
00:09:43,560 --> 00:09:48,600
hand problem it'll help so it's definitely good for for long-term use

141
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:53,880
and ventilation so it doesn't heat up very very cool

142
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:57,680
okay um yes thank you so much for checking us out at TT Sports the TT
