rathi hyperx booth now at PAX West 2016 coming to the end of our coverage here at the show today we're looking at two new peripherals from hyperx including the keyboard here the FPS alloy and the headset which is the new hyperx stainer before getting to these this content is brought to you by i buy power and the new element in gaming PC with a full tempered glass side window tempered glass in the front and LEDs everywhere so let's start with a headset hyperx has been doing headsets for a couple years now they start with the cloud one which actually we still use and then the cloud to obviously after the Hat numerically there was a revolver that we saw at CES previously didn't really talk about it too much after that this is the new one this is the stainer so the Stinger comes in a bit cheaper than the previous headsets is a fifty dollar unit it has the movable ear cups so you can rest it on your shoulders if you wanted to fully fold them down like that and then for the microphone the only real difference here is that it is fixed to the headset to the earcup whereas previously was detachable and now there is a mute so there's a mic mute once it hits a certain point you'll see that I'm starting to reach some resistance there in the push and that's because once it hits a certain point in pushing the microphone up it will actually just mute so that's we've seen that functionality before but it is on a cheaper headset now at fifty dollars for these thinner in terms of hard specs it's got 50 millimeter drivers down from the 53 millimeters previously nothing too special to say about them other than 50 millimeter drivers and the one interesting aspect of those is that they're actually at a slight angle in the ear cup which you'll see in our b roll and that's because the angle helps add effectively some extra dimensions to the inside of the cop so you got some extra base so from the more tactical side that's just an interesting engineering standpoint where you can put it out an angle and get that extra base there for the keyboard the FPS alloy this is one that's also fairly simple but is the first keyboard from hyperx there's a 100-dollar model about fifty and a hundred dollars for the price points the keyboard FPS alloy is named as such because it is an alloy or aluminum shell at least part of it is anyway plastic for the rest I don't know what the back plate is right now it is fairly rigid just from basic testing here at the booth but I don't know if it's a metal or plastic back late for the switches you pull a switch off you'll see that it is using standard cherry MX blue switches and these are the same as every other MX blue you'll find so if you like I'm excludes then you'll like these as one would expect the keyboard for functionality features all that stuff it does obviously have red LED lighting backlighting and you can use function keys with the arrow keys here we have beer all of that as well to adjust the brightness of the light and adjust a bit different modes so there's wave mode there's the sort of breathing effect there's the one where you when you type it leaves the lights behind so those are different modes you turn them off completely if you don't like lights and then this is a detachable USB cable so very easy to just unplug and that's just a micro USB or mini USB cable and it is graded bottom side just plastic you've got the two feet of course as one would also expect there's only one adjustment for the angle and that's really it for the keyboard other than I suppose we could mention these key caps over here for the WASD 1234 those are included but you could also use black if you prefer the matte black finish there's no software this with this keyboard so if you're used to having something like LG s q a million other software solutions there's not one for this that is potentially selling point depending on how you feel about those but that's pretty much it for this the basic specs of these will have more information linked in the description below in the article if you want to read more about the additional specifics we've received at the booth otherwise reviews in the future and we'll let you know how they perform in the lab so thank you for watching as always patreon link lip post-roll video links in description below for more information subscribe i'll see you all night
