WEBVTT 00:00:00.399 --> 00:00:07.040 welcome to lonus Tech tips at CES 2013 our trip to the show this year is 00:00:04.640 --> 00:00:11.360 powered by Corsair maker of quality PC components and peripherals our trusted 00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:16.760 storage partner is Seagate technology and our trusted networking partner is 00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:22.720 linkis okay very competitive for a backl keyboard all right moving on you brought 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 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 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 00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:38.680 them but up at the top we have our shock 00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:43.520 um these are actually just more color options for the shock headset so no 00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:47.280 nothing has really changed we have improved upon um I would say the quality 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 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 00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:58.760 same it's very cool people like customizing all their peripherals to go 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 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 00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:10.560 Gamers have a lot of different colors like especially gamma Bears we we just 00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:14.200 picked them up like you know the yellows and orange so more vibrant stuff yeah so 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 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 00:01:21.880 --> 00:01:27.520 rainbow that would be interesting yeah so this is our Bahamut our Bahamut is 00:01:25.880 --> 00:01:32.079 our new and first and only external sound card we really want to get into 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 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 00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:43.840 oh yeah definitely not yeah so our Bahamut is actually going to be 00:01:42.119 --> 00:01:51.280 available probably by the end of this month it's by USB and the MSRP is 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 00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:58.520 input as well yep very 00:01:55.520 --> 00:02:04.880 cool here you go and do this like you 00:01:58.520 --> 00:02:04.880 know like and B show the input and then 00:02:05.520 --> 00:02:12.879 here show me that input very nice I like the the inscription right 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 00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:21.640 know what accent that is okay so AIA stuffs just really quickly because this 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 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 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 00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:37.280 towards earbuds or we really want to push towards is because and we've been 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 00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:47.480 are actually I didn't notice this until someone else in the company told me this 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 00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:54.239 Starcraft 2 players have the in earbuds have you noticed like and then they wear 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 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 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 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 00:03:08.040 --> 00:03:13.560 trying to offer more of those um and then last not not last actually I want 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 00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:25.000 headset and the Kronos headset right now comes in white and black with the red 00:03:22.440 --> 00:03:30.200 the red accent TT Sports go inside that looks awesome yeah I love outside like I 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 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 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 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 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 00:03:50.920 --> 00:03:57.640 fashionable easy to uh carry with you you know they collapse you can wear them 00:03:55.239 --> 00:04:01.439 on your shoulders like this okay so yeah it's like the fashion of gamer 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 00:04:08.239 --> 00:04:15.040 then you're like this you're like I glow 00:04:11.480 --> 00:04:17.400 I glow I can Rave with these if you have 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 00:04:19.400 --> 00:04:26.080 which means you can actually we we

if you want to see all of our CS content 00:05:11.039 --> 00:05:17.160 subscribe to lineus Tech tips back again guys I cut her off before she was done 00:05:15.440 --> 00:05:21.160 and we totally forgot to cover these awesome looking mice that were designed 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 00:05:22.440 --> 00:05:28.720 these really just kidding trying to do 00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:33.280 like Wonka um yeah um these are these are in collaboration with BMW design 00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:38.319 works so they design a mouse with us together that's you know combines the 00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:42.160 sleekness of a car and the awesome gaming qualities of a mouse uh we 00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:47.039 actually released this a while a little while ago but we just launched a couple 00:05:44.080 --> 00:05:53.160 new colors we have the new yellow the Hello Kitty pink that's for someone um 00:05:51.039 --> 00:05:57.800 and then we have our battle Edition green we did announce our red a little 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 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 00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:11.039 the side yes so so that really actually is 00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:15.599 um designed to kind of be like the overdrive or the the steering of a car 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 00:06:16.840 --> 00:06:23.039 it does is it changes the profiles and it actually raises and lowers the DPI 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 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 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:34.280 right side right so that's actually pretty cool because depending on what 00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:37.639 game you're playing you might want different DPI levels like say you're 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 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 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 00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:55.440 someone said it was something like it was like a steering more like the car 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 00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:05.280 actually comes with a screw and you can move you can change a degree 00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:09.160 of this back part right here um up or down depending on which way you tilt 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 00:07:12.039 --> 00:07:17.840 this can actually be an ambidextrous Mouse so left-handed Gamers can use this 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 00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:24.280 the shape is kind of symmetrical you can use the other direction the only 00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:28.319 difference is is that the buttons will be kind of different but you know you 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 00:07:29.520 --> 00:07:34.360 the gamer will just have to get used to the preference of which buttons on what 00:07:33.080 --> 00:07:39.120 side that's really cool because a lot of ambidextrous mice are just too 00:07:37.280 --> 00:07:42.720 straightforward on the back and this one you can actually make it tilt probably 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 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 00:07:47.520 --> 00:07:53.680 full aluminum Bay so it's pretty sturdy that's very cool I personally like 00:07:52.039 --> 00:07:57.479 really heavy mice and through talking I figured out that you and Diesel also 00:07:55.440 --> 00:08:01.000 like really heavy mice so full aluminum base is a really really cool thing to 00:07:58.960 --> 00:08:05.479 have and it's definitely for people who like longterm and uh longterm gaming we 00:08:04.159 --> 00:08:09.360 we actually have these kind of bumpers for to help it Glide too but you know 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 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 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 00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:26.400 at least it's softer but you know I definitely um the bottom of my mouse 00:08:23.840 --> 00:08:29.720 definitely takes some toll it's not just the top when I'm like clicking fiercely 00:08:27.960 --> 00:08:32.599 but the bottom because you you're rubbing it against the surface for 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 00:08:34.560 --> 00:08:39.560 yeah so having a full aluminum bottom is actually really really good for 00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:43.240 durability we're playing with this one the most we're being so biased this the 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 00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:52.120 these LEDs on right here will show you different DPI levels very very cool and 00:08:50.040 --> 00:08:57.399 the MSRP is $999.99 sorry MSRP is $99.99 I'm trying 00:08:56.160 --> 00:09:01.920 to figure out what Diesel's telling me I think he's talking about the string 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 00:09:04.800 --> 00:09:11.040 because it's cool to represent DT Sport 00:09:08.040 --> 00:09:13.600 but you know I like you can cable coil 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 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 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 00:09:22.880 --> 00:09:28.600 production for laser shooting at the top laser shooting well oh another thing I 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 00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:37.920 really great for airflow as you can see they have has the honeycomb kind of 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 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 00:09:43.560 --> 00:09:48.600 hand problem it'll help so it's definitely good for for long-term use 00:09:46.760 --> 00:09:53.880 and ventilation so it doesn't heat up very very cool 00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:57.680 okay um yes thank you so much for checking us out at TT Sports the TT 00:09:55.839 --> 00:10:01.880 sports stuff sorry that I sound kind of crazy
