2013-06-04
so hey guys we are here at the courser booth at the Intel Core sir event i'm here with jerry the product manager for all their gaming peripherals so Jared talk about a little about the Raptor series how it started the history behind it and sort of the future progression with the series compared to the Vengeance which has been so established as your sort of main gaming line sure so the rep for sures is pretty cool because there's a couple of guys in Germany who had really built from the ground up and we actually acquired the company in August of last year I've done a lot to kind of build up the line and grow and we're actually announcing here come context the first three products that are developed corsair raptor products our side and so you you also have mice and keyboards that are there coming out this year we already we do we've got it we've got a series of the products that we've incorporated from the line that they were already marketing because they're very much made for gamers very much mainstream pieces that would be good products from that standpoint to complement our vengeance line that's really our high high-end stuff and this gives us something that is a little bit more directly competing to some of the razr of a large deck right so you're digging the raptor line basically established he has not exactly below vengeance but sort of competing with the already established competition that you have with vengeance we always do we we more or less that the engineers going nuts right right that's how you end up with something like a fully metal keyboard with your mechanical keyboards some of the backlighting combinations things that we do are what could we do in an ideal and what would we do to try to make it the very very best well we've got on the other side is a lot of those things in a court in a in a more mainstream wine so we're announcing actually to repre- one keyboard here the idea being that really want to give that kind of quality to two people and be able to expand the light from that standpoint right so we've got the two mice by the two mice we have the young 30 and the m40 in 30 is a optical mouse the mouse that's a $49 optical mouse gives you all the performance that you'd expect a 4000 DPI sense or a great feel nice rubberized grip so it doesn't slip out of your hand those kind of things the m40 builds on that it has more of kind of our the st. a similar idea to what you've seen before on our m65 yes but again in an optical engine that's a 4,000 DPI and removing things like the sniper button to get to to give you a lot of those features right it's yeah it has the same ergonomic design as the m60 it is very comfortable personally but so you're removing some of the features to make it a little less to a little more affordable let's say and to make to make a kind of experience doing kind of mouse experience available to more people exactly they have to meet up that to fill the gap on the entire market basically right and this what it does is essentially gives us a 49 59 69 second need in the elements the price price ranges is 10 to all the difference so regardless opening or exactly what you mean exactly are your needs and your budget the ball so regardless of the mice where are some new keyboards and so we got a lot of stuff on that on the keyboard front as well first what we do have is the k 50 which is our raft or keyboard and verse that we're announcing and this is a RGB backlit keyboard for ninety nine dollars it's not mechanical but it's a really really good gaming feel for a rubba dubba keyboard so great on that front it is fully fi goes to fully anti-aliased comes with macro keys so a lot of those kind of key gaming features for ninety nine dollars and again 16 million 16.8 million of colors adjustables where you can make the whole keyboard any color to match your kick your gaming rig or the magical so it does have a metal metal frame but the only difference between this and the sort of the high-end line would be the switches right so this lead two switches I mean this is this as a metal header they have completely metal tops on most of the others but again it's the rubber dome keys like you said which is the switches right and we're doing a lot on the switch front too so when we talk about our vengeance keyboards we're actually announcing three new vengeance keyboards context as well one is actually our k 65 k 65 is our tenkeyless play basically it's to say as we go impact yeah you know I'm not enough real estate in the desk you can this is definitely a great addition it considering this is you know you have additional features but is also very large keyboard so you were covering up that at right there and this what it is by removing the ten key and we get our typical kind of footprint on these you get as much keyboard as you can into the space it's still full key spacing exactly the same key spacing is on the k7 ease of the k 95's so you're not compromising on that it's not going to be uncomfortable but it's going easy to take with you on the go or die's in small spaces it does come with a detachable cable it makes it really really easy to you pack it up drop it in the bag go to a land Avenger given this as any wireless options available in the future not wireless yet something that we think about but for now no wireless a nice okay but the other two that we are announcing also not wireless but good in other ways is that we're expanding our k70 so we announced the K 70s patents back in March and K 70s are fully mechanical backlit keyboard yeah what we're doing is we're actually expanding that new key switches so we did cherry reds and you do cherry reds on most of our stuff because cherry reds are one of the fastest keys so if you're looking for high performance gain a cherry red is a great key for that but we recognize that people have different opinions and have different uses for the keyboard so we're actually gonna be making one in Cherry MX Browns and all someone in cherry MX blue right let you go those are those two they have tactile feedback so you you know exactly when you're pressing whereas the the cherry Reds are slightly have less resistance than the black and less resistance which when you're gaming you want that kind of speed but when you're typing to do you want the other so this is a great play because again if you're if you're using for different things we want to make sure that they have the option and have tonight do they vary in price based on the switches or not all the same so we have the Silver Edition and the black edition of the Cherry MX Reds don't have gunmetal for both the brown slippers this one is one that that's been been out there for just a little bit it's just starting to ship or a starting to ship a couple of weeks ago and then start k 95 right so we kind of have a full line in the end of everything 99 to 1 $49 lots of different mechanical options right yeah so great options here from corsair great variety introducing the raptor line obviously a little bit more budget-friendly while still having sort of course air quality to and behind the look we're very committed to making sure that it's a quality experience and then it's you know really giving you a tool that you can use gaming not just something right yeah and it's also good that you would you cover the entire market you know you have a vengeance series which is you know sort of a high-end covering in the lower markets is also great for for for anybody with the budget so thanks jared and we'll keep up with the diversity of stuff with the corsair booth thanks thanks for watching we'll see you guys next video you
