Our coverage of PAX Prime 2015 is powered by HyperX. Check out their Cloud

00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:10.559
2 headset down in the description below. Also, thank you to ASUS and Corsair. To

00:00:09.040 --> 00:00:14.960
start the ball rolling, we've got the Strafe RGB. This is very similar to the

00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:19.680
actual original Strafe. If you want to see my video on that, click the card up

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

00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:27.439
because it wouldn't really work with RGB anymore. Now it's white and actually

00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:31.039
reflects more colors better, which is pretty cool. They've also gotten more

00:00:29.119 --> 00:00:35.520
brightness and vibrancy out of those LEDs. But what's really cool about this

00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:39.280
keyboard isn't actually necessarily those kind of things. It's a new switch

00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:44.559
that they're releasing with the keyboard called the MX Silent. The MX Silent is

00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:48.879
an exclusive Corsair switch from Cherry, which is, I think, exclusive to them for

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

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

00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:02.960
now has a 3.7 m millimem travel distance, but with the actuation point

00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:07.520
in the same spot, which is 2 mm. So basically, you actuate at the same time,

00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:11.760
but you bottom out a little bit faster. So it should in theoretically be a

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:15.920
faster experience. A lot of people say reds are for gaming, so maybe silence or

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

00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:26.159
one of these on Twitter. Next up, we have the Scimitar RGB mouse. This is a

00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:29.360
16.8 million color RGB mouse, similar to the keyboard we just checked out. And

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:32.560
just like the keyboard, you can configure all of the colors to match

00:01:31.119 --> 00:01:38.400
your other peripherals through the Q software. The sensor in this thing is a

00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:39.920
3988, which has 12,000 DPI. And that's

00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:44.479
actually based off the same sensor that was in the Saber RGB, if you guys are

00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:47.840
familiar with that mouse. It has 12 macro buttons on the side, which is

00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:52.000
cool. And these macro buttons are Panasonic mechanical switches, which is

00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:55.360
actually also pretty badass. But a constant problem that people have with

00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:59.040
these MMO styled mouse or some people use these for MOBAs as well is that it

00:01:57.600 --> 00:02:03.360
might be in the wrong position. So Corsair solved that problem or address

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

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

00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:17.120
mouse. It also has a DPI indicator hidden just in front of that movable

00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:21.120
bank of macro keys. And the general construction of the mouse is actually

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

00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:28.080
form factor, it's not going to be that different for you, which is probably a

00:02:26.160 --> 00:02:31.680
good thing. Next up is the Void series of headsets. These have some pretty cool

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

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

00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:44.239
depending on what activities you do at your computer throughout the day. And

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

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,

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

00:02:53.519 --> 00:02:59.599
stuff depending on that. There's also a Q control dial which can change things

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

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

00:03:06.640 --> 00:03:12.080
move it up or down to change your volume. And you can also do that

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,

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.

00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:25.840
So, starting at the top, we've got wireless at $150. That one has a 40ft

00:03:23.440 --> 00:03:30.799
range of 2.4 GHz signal, which is pretty intense, and 16 hours of battery life,

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

00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:39.840
the USB one, which is about $100. That one's very similar to the wireless one,

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,

00:03:42.799 --> 00:03:48.400
costs 80 bucks, and actually has multiplatform support, so you can plug

00:03:45.920 --> 00:03:53.120
this into your phone, into your console, I guess, and into your PC. Thanks to
