we're at the Corsair showcase at CES 2013 where we have a whole bunch of new
0:04
peripheral stuff to show you guys welcome to Linus Tech tips at CES 2013
0:09
our trip to the show this year is powered by Corsair maker of quality PC
0:13
components and peripherals our trusted storage partner is Seagate technology
0:17
and our trusted networking partner is
0:23
linkis so the M90 and the M60 are being
0:26
replaced by the m95 and the M65 so as
0:30
before the 9 9x Mouse is the MMO Centric
0:34
Mouse and the six sort of and whatever else it is mouse is the FPS oriented
0:39
Mouse so you've got those same features we saw before things like MMO optimize
0:44
macro programmable buttons all over the m95 we've got see two more up here and
0:51
your DPI sniping button right here on the left of the M60 as well as your back
0:55
and forward and your DPI adjustments up here the changes that have been made are
1:00
more subtle than you might have expected
1:03
so every button on the side of this mouse has now been fine-tuned in terms
1:08
of the force required to trigger it they're all actually different now no
1:12
rattle but a bunch of changes this is a an evolutionary change that was
1:16
necessary because some people were finding it you know it's hard to please
1:20
everyone some people find it too stiff some people find it not stiff enough so
1:23
Corsair feels that now they've got this dead zone in the middle that allows you
1:27
to lift The Mouse and the buttons should be a little bit easier trigger
1:30
especially up here versus how they were before and I actually my feedback so far
1:35
is very very positive because it is easier to feel your way around and
1:39
easier to find the correct buttons you want to trigger they're also available
1:42
in a variety of finishes now check this out so m95 comes in Black just like the
1:46
M90 it also comes in a bright Stormtrooper white so you can see it's
1:50
glossy here but unlike the aari laser
1:54
White Edition which I found I wanted to
1:57
love it I really did but it was obnoxious because because the sides were
2:01
slippery uh glossy plastic as well they've gone with a matte finish here in
2:05
the dead zone and here for your pinky rest so what that means is you can still
2:09
lift the thing without actually just having it fall out of your hand so
2:13
that's a great move from Corsair right there the M65 is available in three
2:17
finishes so you got that black that Stormtrooper white again Matt on the
2:22
side so you can actually lift the thing and a military green style that should
2:26
be a big hit for the FPS users running Vengeance C70 cases say for example if
2:31
you wanted a totally matching themed Corsair build go for it and get yourself
2:36
one of these they've also upgraded the sensor so it's using the latest 8200 DPI
2:40
laser sensor for the most Precision possible personally I you know don't
2:45
really crank up the DPI unless I'm using a multim monitor setup for but for you
2:50
multim monitor Gamers out there you're going to love that next we've got
2:54
actually just a small upgrade to the Vengeance 1500 2000 they've got Dolby
2:58
now so don't don't worry guys if you're an existing Vengeance headset user and
3:02
you've got A500 or a 2,000 you're going to go ahead and you're going to download
3:06
that update you're going to enjoy that effect no big deal you don't
3:10
have to buy anything new they're also introducing the mm600 mouse mat so we've
3:14
seen some cloth pads already from Corsair this is a hard pad it's
3:18
reversible evidently so there's a rough surface on this side that's got a plain
3:22
black finish and then there's a smoother surface on here that has kind of a crisy
3:27
looking hexagon pattern thing that looks very very very sharp as well this
3:34
however over here is the PS resistance
3:39
as far as the demos go this is the k95 now the k60 and the k90 are not going
3:44
away the k95 is going to be positioned above those ones but it has some really
3:49
cool features that Gamers have demanded
3:52
number one and it's in addition to the three sets of macro profiles macro
3:56
recording mode bright Bri adjustment has three
4:01
levels now or no I hav had three levels before a brightness adjustment uh you
4:05
can lock the Windows key media Keys all that good stuff check this out Cherry MX
4:09
Reds all over the freaking place now so
4:13
the entire keyboard if it's a key that
4:16
moves it has a Cherry MX red switch under it it also has an individual
4:20
backlight also you guys are going to love this too check this
4:25
out when you trigger a key you can
4:28
actually toggle which backlights you want on so you
4:32
could turn off the whole thing and write
4:35
your name in your keyboard check this
4:39
out well I don't know if I'm going to make it all the way through my whole
4:42
name here but I think you guys get the point you can also customize which keys
4:47
are on and which keys are off in various applications using the corser gaming
4:52
software when you're done customizing it you decide this is exactly how you want
4:55
your keyboard to look you hit the button again and now you can use your keyboard
4:58
as you normally would very cool stuff don't miss any of our CES 2013 coverage
