our 2015 computex coverage is brought to you by fantex nvidia corsair NCIX silverstone and in win make sure to support them for helping us bring this great content to you so g.skill is now in the peripherals game they are known for their memory but knowing their ties within the gaming industry it was just a matter of time until they finally release a full gaming set of gear the two headsets on display at computex were the SR nine ten that is the real surround sound 7.1 design with five drivers on each earcup and I'm sure gaming companies love to experiment with lighting so we see transparent pieces to reveal the drivers inside that are angled for proper acoustics or these we're told and they will also be releasing a stereo version with virtual surround sound utilizing Dolby Pro Logic as for the fit itself the headband is flexible they decided to go with the one size fits all type mount the SR nine ten was a little heavy for me and I told them having more resistive headband would allow the headband to hold the headset and not have all the pressure being held by your ears but the earpads are really nice and soft they were also deep enough to not worry about hitting drivers inside there is a retractable microphone I love this low-profile design and the USB dongle for the real surround sound model that lets you change the volume of each channel and from my initial play with a stereo version i love the bass response but like with any gaming headset i'd want to first give this a proper rundown and also pricing we are told will be competitive so under one hundred dollars for the stereo version and around 150 for the real 7.1 g.skill also introduced a mechanical keyboard the ripjaws km 780 utilizing MX cherry RGB keys and multi lighting mode of course on the left side there's a set of macro keys and the soft rubberized palm rest is removable reminds me of course their texture that feels really good on the right side there are all the media controls with volume wheel and the volume meter that I actually appreciate so you don't blast the volume as it has audio pass through and the back along on the USB jack I found this clip on the side of the keyboard really interesting it sort of grabs your mouse cable and reroutes it along the motherboard cable for a totally cleaner setup and aside from the RGB switches will also have MX Browns and reds but aside from that it will really come down to pricing and maybe competitive lighting features for the new ripjaws keyboard to stand out within a very saturated keyboard market right now and lastly is the MX 780 mouse that is a mix between a Logitech roccat and razor incorporating these modular magnetic bits on the side that you can replace to change the size and the shape of the mouse the rear portion can be raised with an allen key and all for lighting zones can be individually adjusted it will use the avago 9800 sensor it is a highly regarded sensor within the gaming community and while we didn't have all the modular portions of the mouse the MX 780 is certainly appealing in that way so make sure to subscribe as we will have full reviews of all these products as soon as they launch so thanks for watching and we'll see you in the next one
