we're at the Corsair showcase at CES 2013 where we have a whole bunch of new peripheral stuff to show you guys welcome to Linus tech tips at CES 2013 our trip to the show this year is powered by Corsair maker of quality PC components and peripherals our trusted storage partner is Seagate technology and our trusted networking partner is Linksys so the m90 and the m60 are being replaced by the m95 and the m60 five so as before the 9 9 X Maus is the MMO centric Mouse and the six sort of and whatever else it is Maus is the FPS oriented Mouse so you've got those same features we saw before things like MMO optimized macro programmable buttons all over the m95 we've got two more up here and your dpi sniping button right here on the left of the m60 as well as your back and forward and your dpi adjustments up here the changes that have been made are more subtle than you might have expected so every button on the side of this mouse has now been fine-tuned in terms of the force required to trigger it they're all actually different now no rattle but a bunch of changes this is a an evolutionary change that was necessary because some people were finding it you know it's hard to please everyone some people find it too stiff some people find it not stiff enough so Corsair feels that now they've got this dead zone in the middle that allows you to lift the mouse and the buttons should be a little bit easier to trigger especially up here versus how they were before and I actually my feedback so far is very very positive because it is easier to feel your way around and easier to find the correct buttons you want to trigger they're also available in a variety of finishes now check this out so m95 comes in black just like the m90 it also comes in a bright stormtrooper white so you can see it's glossy here but unlike the iqari laser white edition which i found i wanted to love it I really did but it was obnoxious because the sides were slippery glossy plastic as well they've gone with a matte finish here in the dead zone and here for your pinky rest so what that means is you can still lift the thing without actually just having it fall out of your hands so that's a great move from Corsair right there the m60 5 is available in three finishes so you got that black that stormtrooper white again matte on the side so you can actually lift the thing and a military green style that should be a big hit for the FPS users running vengeance see 70 cases say for example if you wanted a totally matching themed Corsair build go for it and get yourself one of these they've also upgraded sensor so it's using the latest 8200 dpi laser sensor for the most precision possible personally I you know don't really crank up the DPI on the last I'm using a multi-monitor setup but for you multi monitor gamers out there you're gonna love that next we've got actually it's just a small upgrade to the Vengeance 1500 and 2000 they've got Dolby now so don't worry guys if you're an existing Vengeance headset user and you've got a 1500 or 2000 you're gonna go ahead and you're gonna download that update you're gonna enjoy that effect no big deal you don't have to buy anything new they're also introducing the nm 600 mouse mat so we've seen some cloth pads already from Corsair this is a hard pad it's reversible evidently so there's a rough surface on this side that's got a plain black finish and then there's a smoother surface on here that has kind of a crisis II lookin hexagon pattern thing that looks very very very sharp as well this however over here is the piece de resistance as far as the demos go this is the K 95 now the K 60 and the K 90 are not going away the K 95 is going to be positioned above those ones but it has some really cool features that gamers have demanded number one and it's in addition to the three sets of macro profiles macro recording mode brightness adjustment has three levels now all right now I don't have three levels before a brightness adjustment you can lock the windows key media keys all that good stuff check this out Cherry MX Reds all over the freakin place now so the entire keyboard if it's a key that moves it has a cherry MX red switch under it it also has an individual backlight also you guys are gonna love this - check this out when you trigger a key you can actually toggle which back lights you want on so you could turn off the whole thing and write your name in your keyboard check this out well I don't know if I'm gonna make it all the way through my whole name here but I think you guys get the point you can also customize which keys are on and which keys are off in various application using the coarser gaming software when you're done customizing it you decide this is exactly how you want your keyboard to look you hit the button again and now you can use your keyboard as you normally would very cool stuff don't miss any of our CES 2013 coverage make sure you're subscribed to Linus tech tips and if you liked any of this you want to discuss it head over to Linus tech tips comm and discuss it in the forum thanks for watching Linus tech tips at CES 2013 powered by Corsair Seagate Technology and Linksys
