thanks to massdrop for sponsoring our content here at ces 2018 you can get the
0:04
sennheiser hd58x headphones at the link below for just 149.99
0:10
so we're here in the Corsair suite where the theme this year is fewer wires or
0:17
unplug and play oh
0:20
like i had enough of a headache already from being sick and that just made it like 10 times worse so we're gonna start
0:25
with the k63 Corsair now has a wireless
0:30
mechanical keyboard with cherry mx switches
0:33
just reds for now that is fully wireless and they are
0:37
claiming that even with their out of the box default 66 backlighting intensity
0:43
can last for up to 15 hours it's
0:46
available in two different colors this more pure blue and then a special ice
0:50
blue to match the Corsair one and they are claiming near wired levels of
0:55
performance with one millisecond of latency at 2.4 gigahertz with their own
1:00
special dongle and about seven milliseconds of latency over bluetooth
1:04
now like many wireless peripherals you can also plug it in and use it wired if
1:10
you want for those of you wondering it should last about 75 hours without the
1:14
backlighting enabled so if you want to extend your session
1:20
you just got to go ahead and hit the session extend button
1:24
it's 10 keyless and the reason for that is that they were going for kind of a
1:28
whole solution thing here it is meant to load into an updated version of
1:33
Corsair's previous lap dog product that to me makes a lot more sense so this guy
1:39
right here you just snap the keyboard in there's no allen keys there's no screws
1:43
there's no nothing like that boom you're ready to go it works wirelessly it's got
1:47
memory foam on the bottom it's actually from the about 20 minutes i've been
1:51
sitting here not too shabby at all and it includes a mouse mat that's a cloth
1:56
style mouse mat unfortunately not swappable at this time as well as a
1:59
rubberized grip for the wrist rest that i actually didn't really find i touched
2:03
much in more of a gaming position but definitely enhanced the typing feel
2:09
now let's move on to Corsair's wireless gaming mouse this is the first time
2:13
they've done one of these and the story from them is that they've been waiting for the right technology so just like
2:18
the keyboard it boasts one milliseconds latency and they're saying 24 hours of
2:23
battery life with all of the RGB bells and whistles enabled so there are three
2:28
zones and it's got swappable grips i believe there are three in the box and
2:32
it's also got this kind of unique texture it's kind of like a dimpled texture that they say was inspired by
2:36
sports equipment like golf clubs for the sensor it's running a pixar 3367 which
2:41
they say they've customized for Corsair so it's up to 16 000 dpi if you're into
2:46
that sort of thing and it is a perfect mate for their
2:49
mm-1000 mousemat which includes a
2:53
wireless charging corner in the top so with the special edition of this guy you
2:58
can actually just pop your mouse up to the top right corner of your mouse pad
3:01
and it will fully charge in about two hours and change because they're using
3:06
the qi standard you can actually use the chi spot
3:11
like i couldn't believe they called it that in the presentation to charge other
3:14
devices such as your phone and they include this little dongle in case you have a phone that doesn't include
3:18
wireless charging although personally i don't really see the practicality of
3:21
having like a weird puck on the side of my mouse pad while i'm trying to use it
3:24
your mileage may vary it weighs about 128 grams so it's among the heavier mice
3:29
out there but from using it here in the suite the performance is pretty well
3:34
sweet so pricing for the new mouse which they're calling the dark core is 79.99
3:39
plus 10 for the wireless charging version then you're gonna need another 79.99 for that wireless charging mouse
3:45
pad as for the keyboard this one's actually really reasonable 109.99 for
3:50
their wireless keyboard then another 59.99 i believe it is for the lapboard
3:56
dock and then in some regions they're going to have it available for ten
3:59
dollars less in a bundle i'm really liking that much better pricing and just
4:04
overall a much better form factor compared to what they had done in the
4:08
past so that pretty much wraps it up for
4:11
