NEXT GEN - Gaming Mice & Keyboards from Cooler Master!

2018-01-15
while cases coolers and power supplies took center stage a cooler master suite during CES 2018 they were also showing off some next-generation gaming peripherals many of these are just prototypes right now but supposedly they will be ready for primetime at Computex we can't wait to see what's changed by that point but for now let's take a look at what they have in store for the future before I get into that I want to give a huge shout out to fantex Corsair and cola master for sponsoring our CES 2018 coverage before I get too far into this video I think it's important to explain how cool the master names their peripherals they all start with a letter M followed by a letter that designates the type and then a number showing where the item is placed in their lineup for example the M H is a headset and K is a keyboard mice are labeled as mm and mouse pads are listed as MP while the 200 series would be the entry-level and 800 or 800 series are higher-end the first item I wanted to talk about is the MK 800 series keyboards the MK 850 and MK 851 these are basically the same keyboard with an aggressive design RGB backlighting of course a cobalt aluminum top plate and these things cool omastar calls precision wields the precision wheels are an interesting addition since they will almost act as a mouse scroll wheel built into the keyboard one will be able to completely program it and I could see it being really useful for Adobe Premiere or even some strategy games provided its software supports those things the other wheel can be used as a profile switcher both of these keyboards will also come with a detachable USB type-c cable to ensure you aren't struggling to find what's up and down when plugging it in I also really like the magnetic wrist rest which had a perfectly textured surface and it's really comfortable for long gaming sessions so what's the actual difference between the nka 50 and the mk8 51 well the 850 will be available with cherry blue or brown switches while the 850 will only come and share your bread but there's one more big difference the MKA 51 comes with in patent technology on 8 keys including lost basically aim pad incorporates an infrared sensor into each key and allows them to act as an analogue matter that means the more you press down the stronger the on-screen reaction for example a light press could allow a character to walk while pressing further down will be counted as run command this really comes in handy within driving or flying games another addition to the new M 800 series is the mm 830 which is considered cooler master's flagship gaming mouse the interesting features here is actually hidden away within the thumb rest area there are four small integrated buttons that make up a deep pan that's supposed to be easier to use for mobile and MMO players than standard buttons with software they're completely programmable and I actually liked using them since they require just a right amount of force to actuate the only problem is that a one-size-fits-all solution isn't possible here since everyone has a different sized hand someone with a bigger thumb will overshoot the buttons while someone with a smaller thumb won't have the reach to hit them all I really hope Coulomb s is able to ship this mouse with interchangeable thumb rests so those buttons can be easily accessible to everyone the other features on this mouse are pretty straightforward there's a programmable OLED display a durable PBT chassis USB type-c connection on one switches and a 24,000 dpi picsArt 3360 sensor there was also a mousepad on display called the MP 860 which incorporates an RGB underglow and a reversible surface there's a hard side for greater position and speedy movements and a soft touch side that's good for daily tasks the last thing Coolermaster showed us was a very early concept for a low-profile keyboard this was just an engineering mock-up but it showed a lot of promise since it is the first to use the new cherry Randy low-profile switches basically this brand-new switch is supposed to imitate the feel of a standard cherry red switch but it's slim form factor means it can be added to very thin keyboards right now the plans for this new keyboard that's tentatively called the SK 750 on firm yet but it looks like Coolermaster will start selling it sometime after Computex in either black gunmetal gray or silver there's even hope to integrate the upcoming Bluetooth 5.0 spec so it can operate wirelessly while still offering months of battery life so there you have it while all the peripherals we saw coolermaster we're prototypes of some form I'm really looking forward to see the final version that Computex but what about you guys is there anything here you could see yourself buying or are there things you would like to see added now is it time to speak up since none of them are final yet let us know in the comments down below I'm Eva with Hardware connects thank you so much for watching subscribe for more see coverage and we'll see you in the next one
