CES 2019 brought to you by Corsair that actually is where we are right now at course eros we're going to talk about some of the products that has helped get us to CES 2019 now we're gonna start with peripherals yeah set it right peripherals not couric real peripherals are one of those things we haven't really talked about much on this channel because they're they're a 100 percent subjective lifestyle choice that's that's kind of how we classify peripherals or lifestyle you interact with the mouse - keyboard headsets sound cards speakers and it's really hard to kind of convey products and make it relatable to the audience because you can't feel it you can't deal with any of that but there's some new tech that Corsair showing that's gonna come in later this year called slipstream which is their new communication interface no eSports gamers have of course just first Wireless because of the latency and input lag and just the connectivity dropouts when you have other wireless devices go to a LAN party with a wireless mouse if it works you're lucky because with all the wireless devices they're stomping on top of each other not enough bandwidth in terms of the spectrum and it's just you can hear a lot of blah blah blah it doesn't work well well that's all changing with slipstream Corsair has invested a ton of time and money in developing this particular protocol because the best analogy that they could give us is they are sending out packets down multiple lanes of communication and they are caught it's like a freeway with traffic and they got various cars going different routes to get to the destination so even if some of those packets get lost or get stomped on some of its gonna get to its destination now it's got a lot more functionality than just that that's very high level sort of description on that but it's increased range you have wireless headsets and microphones now wireless and headset usually don't go together I've had some wireless headsets in the past that had very decent audio in terms of listening and fidelity but then as soon as you talk you travel propose different it's just it's so compressed because of the encoder that has to bring it down to a bitrate level that can communicate wirelessly and it was using the exact same communication string that was happening with the audio well now they've got headsets are coming out later this year that are going to utilize sip stream and have dual basically dual lanes of communication with the system so the headset microphone and the audio are independent of each other using the same technology technology I just talked about which is allowing for a much cleaner clearer higher fidelity microphone so what we've got right here this is the harpoon rgv Mouse right here utilizing strips of slipstream and the reason why they've sort of showed it on this Mouse first is they want it to be affordable to the masses so this is their low-end Mouse that's utilizing this new technology that people were expecting to be expensive I don't know what the price point was but I want to say they can sense it like 50 bucks 60 bucks something like that this mouse is actually connected to that computer way over there yeah the one that guy way over there with other wireless devices going in this room obviously all of our phones and stuff different spectrums but they can still step on each other so we're gonna do right now is gonna play a little battlefield 5 with this about 15 feet or so away from this system to see what the input lag is like and all of that so this is actually the last Tiger mission right here so we decide to go like something that's actual shooter so that you can see firsthand what it's like now we are at CES obviously this is this is not ideal for trade show or for wireless performance because we have what's called you know tradeshow level interference everyone's using wireless mics I'm on a wireless mic right now obviously and what I'm looking for here is any perceived lag or delay that's obviously gonna show up when you were dealing with wireless mice and gaming and shooters so so far I'm not feeling anything other than the bullets that are hitting me because I suck okay ring it's serious weird it's super serious on this one Oh oh yes yes they did out out out not cool I'm not feeling anything that would make me feel like I couldn't play on this even here at a trade show with the computer 15 feet away I mean this is this is the least ideal condition that you would want to be in and I think the important thing to remember is this is not even ready for primetime this is this is super early on something that we're being told will be ready around q3 that they're debuting on their entry level mounts I can tell you right now that's actually pretty good so I'm excited for this technology whether you're into wireless peripherals or not that's having this option to where you can get you know wired level performance whether you're an eSports level gamer or just a casual you can tidy up your system at least and it's not going to cost you an arm and a leg that's why they're debuting it on their entry level mountain anyway guys that's just our look and talk about slipstream keep an eye out for that later on this year I guarantee we'll probably hear more about a competition some more devices because it's also gonna connect up to three devices with a single dongle so you could potentially have your keyboard your mouse and your wireless headset one dongle it's all gonna do the frequency searching your spectrum search all in its own to find the clearest best channel and it's it's gonna be in my opinion something great to look forward to because I want Wireless again in my home system alright guys once again a huge thank you to course there for sending us to CES 2019 and check the link in description below to find out more about their new Corsair One and Corsair one pro gaming systems and desktop systems and as always we'll see you guys in the next video it should probably be like literally in a couple minutes
