1 we're here at the Corsair Booth we're going to check out what they're
0:11
announcing for mouse pads and keyboards
0:14
so first up is the Corsair mm200
0:17
extended this is more of a desk pad and less of a mouse pad you can see if you
0:22
wanted to you could probably have four individual people operating mice within
0:26
normal ranges on this mouse pad or you can put your key board here and your
0:30
mouse over here and not have to deal with that annoying lip that tends to
0:35
exist at the edge of your keyboard where it overlaps a little bit and it's really
0:38
frustrating next up we've got the mm400
0:41
compact which is just a smaller version of the existing mm400 so that's pretty
0:47
much it for things that you didn't already see from our computex
0:50
coverage now we're over on the other side where there's the new Raptor k30 so
0:56
from the Raptor branding that should tell you that it's more of a value
1:00
oriented option compared to Vengeance but I think given the price you guys are
1:03
probably going to like the features of this keyboard so it has the same
1:06
aesthetic as the Vengeance keyboards however it does use plastic construction
1:10
and membrane Keys versus aluminum construction with mechanical keys but it
1:15
still got backlighting it's still got a variety of different brightness levels
1:19
it's still got programmable keys with three different banks over here a
1:23
lockable Windows key and dedicated media keys so when you look at what it's up
1:29
against that that makes it look pretty compelling actually if you're looking
1:32
for a more value oriented keyboard personally I prefer mechanical though
1:36
which actually is fantastic because right over there we've got Corsair
1:41
showing off their Cherry MX Blue and Cherry MX Brown Vengeance series gaming
1:45
keyboards which are available for pre-order now and are going to be
1:49
shipping by the end of the month so for all those of you who are asking when are
1:52
they coming when are they coming they are finally coming now be excited guys
