00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:10,559
2 headset down in the description below. Also, thank you to ASUS and Corsair. To

3
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:14,960
start the ball rolling, we've got the Strafe RGB. This is very similar to the

4
00:00:13,519 --> 00:00:19,680
actual original Strafe. If you want to see my video on that, click the card up

5
00:00:17,119 --> 00:00:23,920
here. But what's changed is, well, it's RGB. The back plate is no longer red

6
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:27,439
because it wouldn't really work with RGB anymore. Now it's white and actually

7
00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:31,039
reflects more colors better, which is pretty cool. They've also gotten more

8
00:00:29,119 --> 00:00:35,520
brightness and vibrancy out of those LEDs. But what's really cool about this

9
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:39,280
keyboard isn't actually necessarily those kind of things. It's a new switch

10
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:44,559
that they're releasing with the keyboard called the MX Silent. The MX Silent is

11
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:48,879
an exclusive Corsair switch from Cherry, which is, I think, exclusive to them for

12
00:00:46,559 --> 00:00:53,360
a while, maybe not forever. The idea of the Silent is that it's based off of a

13
00:00:50,719 --> 00:00:58,800
Red, but it has a reduced travel time. So instead of a 4 mm travel distance, it

14
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:02,960
now has a 3.7 m millimem travel distance, but with the actuation point

15
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:07,520
in the same spot, which is 2 mm. So basically, you actuate at the same time,

16
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:11,760
but you bottom out a little bit faster. So it should in theoretically be a

17
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,920
faster experience. A lot of people say reds are for gaming, so maybe silence or

18
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:21,200
even a little bit more for gaming. That's what you guys decide. Let me know later on when you try it after you get

19
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:26,159
one of these on Twitter. Next up, we have the Scimitar RGB mouse. This is a

20
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:29,360
16.8 million color RGB mouse, similar to the keyboard we just checked out. And

21
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,560
just like the keyboard, you can configure all of the colors to match

22
00:01:31,119 --> 00:01:38,400
your other peripherals through the Q software. The sensor in this thing is a

23
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,920
3988, which has 12,000 DPI. And that's

24
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:44,479
actually based off the same sensor that was in the Saber RGB, if you guys are

25
00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:47,840
familiar with that mouse. It has 12 macro buttons on the side, which is

26
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:52,000
cool. And these macro buttons are Panasonic mechanical switches, which is

27
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:55,360
actually also pretty badass. But a constant problem that people have with

28
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:59,040
these MMO styled mouse or some people use these for MOBAs as well is that it

29
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:03,360
might be in the wrong position. So Corsair solved that problem or address

30
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:08,959
that problem by making it so you can move this bank of keys up or back for a

31
00:02:06,399 --> 00:02:13,040
total travel distance of 8 mm by using a hex screw that's on the bottom of the

32
00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:17,120
mouse. It also has a DPI indicator hidden just in front of that movable

33
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:21,120
bank of macro keys. And the general construction of the mouse is actually

34
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:24,640
very similar to other models of Corsair mice. So if you're already a fan of the

35
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:28,080
form factor, it's not going to be that different for you, which is probably a

36
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:31,680
good thing. Next up is the Void series of headsets. These have some pretty cool

37
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:35,840
new tech on it. So each one of the mics in this series has what's called infomic

38
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:40,640
on the end of it. The front LED will basically tell you whether or not your mic is muted, which could be helpful

39
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:44,239
depending on what activities you do at your computer throughout the day. And

40
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:47,120
then the light on the back, there's not the back, just a little bit further back

41
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:52,000
from the other one will tell you some other stuff like what EQ setting you're using, if your battery is running out,

42
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:55,280
or if you're running Dolby or not, and it can change color and do some other

43
00:02:53,519 --> 00:02:59,599
stuff depending on that. There's also a Q control dial which can change things

44
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:04,480
like it's a multi-function dial, so you can press it in to change your EQ. You

45
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:08,319
can press and hold for Dolby toggle, so you can turn Dolby on or off, or you can

46
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:12,080
move it up or down to change your volume. And you can also do that

47
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,640
rapidly. If you hold it up, it will jump up to the top, or if you hold it down,

48
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:20,159
it'll jump down to the bottom for a quick mute. There's actually three different models within the Void lineup.

49
00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:25,840
So, starting at the top, we've got wireless at $150. That one has a 40ft

50
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:30,799
range of 2.4 GHz signal, which is pretty intense, and 16 hours of battery life,

51
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:35,040
which is also a lot for a headset. Good to see. Jumping down from that, we have

52
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:39,840
the USB one, which is about $100. That one's very similar to the wireless one,

53
00:03:36,959 --> 00:03:44,480
just not wireless. And then we have the stereo one. That's just a 3.5 mm jack,

54
00:03:42,799 --> 00:03:48,400
costs 80 bucks, and actually has multiplatform support, so you can plug

55
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:53,120
this into your phone, into your console, I guess, and into your PC. Thanks to
