so I'm sitting at my computer in one window I'm reviewing our our recap of
0:04
NVIDIA's mod 24 Live case modding competition and then in the other I'm
0:08
browsing I'm using posts on imer Reddit and Linus Tech tips Forum about
0:12
Corsair's new Corsair gaming stamp
0:16
logo and that's when it hit me anyone
0:19
who wants a Corsair RGB keyboard but
0:22
doesn't want the Love batliff on their desk should just mod their new Corsair
0:27
logo off their keyboard
0:37
Corsair gaming RGB keyboards feature Precision Cherry MX RGB key switches for
0:42
16.8 million color per key backlighting for virtually unlimited customization
0:47
click now to learn more first you'll need a COR our gaming RGB keyboard K65
0:52
k70 or k95 it doesn't matter next you'll need a small flat object to pry the
0:57
existing logo off we used a flathead Jeweler screwdriver save this piece for
1:01
later though you'll need it for an important final step once that's done
1:05
you'll need a new logo to fill the gaping hole in what is otherwise a
1:09
beautiful piece of technological art so
1:12
here's how to get one go into your garage and dig through the pile of core
1:17
air cases that you have in there to find one that's got a I don't know scratch on
1:20
it or something see if it's got a logo on it that you can use pull out your
1:24
trusty Dremel tool go to town with a reinforced cutting disc and wow would
1:30
you look at that I think it's safe to call this an instant
1:34
Masterpiece now to just put some JB Weld on the back so we can stick it there
1:39
permanently and wait what don't apply
1:42
this permanently you don't like my logo mod I suck at modding you know what
1:49
you guys and your ideas about modding you can make your own YouTube
1:54
channel with your
1:58
own I'm sorry I lost my temper a little bit there but the good news is that I'm
2:03
back with an even better idea a modular
2:07
logo mounting system with like velcro I
2:11
even figured out how you can do the mod without cutting up a case just find all
2:15
the things in your house with Corsair logos on them thumb drives ssds RAM fans
2:19
you name it apply velcro to the back of them and Bam new logo for every day of
2:25
the week what's that you don't have extra memory modules lying around to
2:30
attach to the top of your keyboard Corsair should just fix the logo or they
2:34
shouldn't have released it in the first place okay I see your point real talk
2:40
time now though I don't like it either and I told them so a couple months ago
2:43
and I'd be pleased if Corsair changed the Corsair gaming branding back to
2:48
something a little bit more elegant too but I also don't think the amount of
2:53
hate it's generated over the last few days has been warranted either this
2:58
doesn't necessarily excuse the their tribal thing but think about this if you
3:02
try hard enough isn't it pretty easy to make fun of any logo I mean gases is the
3:07
name of their first Mouse squeezed into a triangle for some reason that seems
3:11
like it'll age well razors is some like snake orgy thing logitech's Playdoh
3:17
Sunshine Del has never really made any sense to me I mean come on back to
3:21
keyboard for a second here we let ducky get away with ducks I mean what is less
3:25
serious from like a you know Enthusiast
3:28
perspective than Ducks trashy tattoos I guess but I think
3:33
the overall point of the video is this I'm not sure what their plan is although
3:38
if anyone from Corsair is watching I would suggest that they just do a small
3:42
production run of something similar to the case badge on the 780t but better
3:47
match to the finish of their keyboards and offer that to folks who want it but
3:51
as much noise as the internet makes about it I don't think Corsair is in a
3:55
position to change the logo now so I guess we can take comfort in knowing
3:59
that at least on some products particularly the RGB series keyboards
4:02
it's an easy fix to get rid of it so easy in fact that our guide on how to do
4:06
it included almost no serious guidance at all and was more of just a silly joke
4:10
video anyway even if it was a joke I hope you guys enjoyed this video like it
4:15
