my coverage of CES 2018 from Las Vegas Nevada is brought to you by Coolermaster enter max ocz Toshiba and deep cool all right guys we are visiting the Corsair now as we always do at Computex and CES yes now and they actually invited us over to a press conference this morning which is very nice they served us some they weren't danishes but they were breakfast pastries they were quite delicious they also have some new products so let's check that stuff out I wonder what they think of them of course Arab sitting on a 500 D papers on a very important phone call so for starters course there has wireless everywhere and they wants everything to be Wireless that they make and so that means keyboards mice and I guess mainly keyboards and mice but the k63 wireless mechanical keyboard is what they have launched today cost one hundred and ten dollars he also comes in a different lat board forum at the k63 wireless mechanical Latin board you can buy them separately and get the lap board additionally for 60 more dollars or you can get them both together save yourself ten bucks and it's a hundred and sixty for the lap board version now the unique thing about this is that it's Wireless and it connects in three different ways you can do a 2.4 gigahertz wireless connection and that is the fastest and best connection for gaming it has a one millisecond response time which is about a millisecond faster than any other Wireless Keyboard of this nature before it also has a Bluetooth connection availability and that's really nice if you want to take it on the go and connect it up to a laptop or something like that you're not going to get quite as good of a response time it's about 7.4 millisecond response time with Bluetooth connection but it's still nice to have that as an option you can also just plug it in via wired USB if the battery happens to die and you absolutely need to use your keyboard so that's a really good set of options for connectivity it's got 15 hour battery life with maximum LED brightness and the LED max brightness is by default is 66% you can go into the Corsair utility and actually increase that all the way to a hundred percent but in order to keep the battery life better they maximized it out of the box to 66% you can turn the LEDs off of course and that will greatly increase your battery life to 75 hours so some options there it's got perky blue LED lighting that's controllable via the corsair utility engine software and it also has a cool feature that's 128 bit aes encryption when it's in Wireless mode that does add a tiny bit of latency about point zero 4 milliseconds so you go from one to one point zero four but if that does happen to bother you if you're a professional gamer or something you can disable the AES encryption as well the LAT Board version has a memory foam cushion on the bottom at a full-size mousepad so you can use it to game in the living room and this is only going to be available with cherry MX red switches at launch but they said as in the past based on consumer response they of course will be open to adding additional Cherry MX options in the future to pair with the keyboard you have the dark core RGB wireless gaming mouse this also connects in the same three waves 2.4 gigahertz Wireless with 1 millisecond response time Bluetooth or via wired USB bear in mind that each individual device you connect via that 2.4 gigahertz connection will require its own separate USB dongle but you know that's not a huge deal but you do need that in order to maintain that really low response time 16,000 dpi pick start sensor that they custom built for Corsair and it has a nice contoured shape that's a bit different from some of the Corsair designs we've seen in the past has a textured bumpy palm rest and in my brief testing with it it was quite comfortable has 3 controllable RGB LED zones and up to 24 hours of in use battery life which is pretty good for a wireless mouse it costs $80 just by default or there is a dark or RGB se special edition that features qi wireless charging and that's actually pretty cool too because you can pair that with the MM 1000 qi wireless charging mouse bed the third new product that Corsair is launching today now this mouse pad costs $80 which is a lot for a mouse pad but it is a bit more than a mouse pad because it has a wireless charging Qi spot and if you can find the cheese spot well then you're already ahead of the game but if you have the dark or RGB special edition mouse which costs $90 to $10 more than the normal version you can of course park the mouse on that Qi spots rub it right on there and it will charge and it only takes about a couple hours to charge which is pretty nice in fact they said it charges just as fast when parked on the Qi spot as it does when plugged in directly B as a USB so that's pretty impressive for a wireless charging method you can't charge other Qi compatible devices on this cheese spot so if you have a cell phone for example that has wireless Qi charging Park it right there and it will charge up or they actually come at it a little dongle and you can use that via the plug and it's got three types of plugs USB mini-b type C as well as a lightning connection so you can plug that into a phone that doesn't have wireless charging and then you can use that to charge your phone right there on the cheap spot as well but chances are you're going to want to save that cheap spot and only park your dark or RGB wireless mouse on it the next product if we want to move away from peripherals is a power supply the new Corsair a X 1600 a power supply which now becomes of course there is best power supply ever supplanting the former champion the ax 1500 I and if you're like me and get really excited about power supplies like this then you probably can't find the g-spot but anyway this power supply is going to cost you four hundred and fifty dollars and yes it does supply sixteen hundred Watts versus fifteen hundred watts of its predecessor but it is more efficient in fact they're featuring gallium nitride transistors in fact John was very excited about the gallium nitride transistors I don't blame them they have increased efficiency versus silicon transistors and it actually has better than 80 plus titanium and fish'n see ninety-four percent at minimum but actually can go up to 99 percent efficiency absolutely crazy depending on the load that you have on the actual power supply itself of course has digital monitoring via Corsi Corsair link just like its predecessor and it's 200 millimeters long which is fairly long for a power supply but that is twenty millimeters shorter than the former ax 1500 I and that's part of that gallium nitride transistor thing because the gallium nitride transistors can also be smaller now beyond the power of this power supply it's also pretty sexy looking and if you want to make it sexier or just make it match your case they have swappable magnetic ID plates for the side so it's got a gray label on there by defaults but rather than peeling that off as we often recommend you can just take these little magnetic plates there's red white and blue and just swap it on instead I think the only way they can make this power supply better would be if they included this really cool white cable sleeve cable set by default I don't know if we can talk them into that or maybe it'll make a special white edition of it that maybe they could do that to they've done that before made a white power supply moving on just a couple more products Corsairs of course very well known for their closed-loop liquid CPU coolers and they're introducing a couple more to their lineup in fact these were previously introduced back at Computex but they're actually bringing them to the market now so you can buy them the age 15 I pro and the age 50 I Pro now both of these new CLC's have a 360-degree RGB lighting ring around the outside and an aluminum trim trim to pump cap that I think looks pretty cool of course their logo on top also of course lights up in RGB and you can customize that by connecting it to the Corsair link utility and of course you can also use a course so I'll link utility to monitor stuff like your fan speeds and your water temperature and that kind of thing ultra low noise Corsair maglev series cooling fans are included they have large high-density radiators 360 millimeter for the H 150 I Pro and 280 mm meter for the H 115 I Pro and these are the first Corsair hydro series coolers to feature a zero rpm mode so when your CPU isn't hot enough or whatever you have connected to the closed-loop cooler the fans just won't spin and that's a really nice option for super low noise especially if you're not using you not using your computer why do the fans need to spin just sucking air through and getting dust and things that kind of thing finally these also feature the brand newest 6th gen ace tech pump and this is new and from what they tell me it is quieter and hopefully we can test that in the future to see if that is actually true now finally coursera had a couple new cases they were showing off the one that is available now for $100 it's the corsair carbide spec omega and then they also had a new obsidian 500 d that I thought looked really cool had a tempered glass side panel as well sort of a curved tempered glass front panel which is very challenging to do they were talking about how the manufacturing of that curved front piece was actually pretty difficult I'm not going to go too much into details here because while I was at the Corsair suite Dmitri a neighbor from hardware connects are there and you know they go all out when it comes to case videos and they were getting all sorts of really cool footage of the 500 D and I was like you know what I'm gonna do I'm just gonna tell people to go to their videos so that's what you guys should do I'll say I'll find their video once they post it and put a link in the comments or just go over to hardware connects and check it out because Dmitri Dmitri and Eber do a really good job with that stuff and they can have all the gritty details on that so everything I've talked about today except for that 500 D case is available right now you can go to the Corsair store and buy directly or they should be available at retailers soon as well but guys that's all for this video and in case you hadn't noticed I I really relocated back to the hotel room because it was a little crowded in the course a suite but definitely hit that thumbs up button guys if you enjoyed this video and of course one final shout out to my sponsors for CES 2018 ocz toshiba deep cool enter Max and coolermaster more videos coming very soon so of course subscribe as well if you're not already thanks for watching guys and we'll see you next time
