This Changes RGB Forever - Corsair CES 2019 #Helpful Post

This Changes RGB Forever - Corsair CES 2019 #Helpful Post

anks to Coursera for sponsoring our

trip to CES 2019 the courser one is

their new super-powerful water-cooled

gaming and or workstation system you can

check it out at the link below so of

course there is no stranger to launching

new RGB products at trade shows but this

time really I swear it's actually

different so this isn't just more RGB

LEDs with more animation patterns or

anything like that no okay actually

that's exactly what it is but I swear

it's different like get over here so

this right here is a demo of what

Corsair has been working with with a

company called Primax and they're

calling it capella --cz and what it

essentially is is a method of mounting

LEDs and not like not like this entire

surface mount like blocky square white

thing but actually the diode itself just

the little dot in the middle that

actually emits the light mounting LEDs

directly to a PCB and this is important

for a number of reasons it increases

power efficiency which in turn can

actually increase the maximum brightness

of the leds and it dramatically

increases their density so in the past

if they wanted to do let's say an RGB

memory module they would have been stuck

with like basically this kind of spacing

there's only so much granularity you can

get to the animations that you can build

into the product well now they can

achieve density of like I mean what do

you what even is this this is like a

hundred LEDs or eighty LEDs looks like a

hundred and it's like under my pinky and

I have I have very small hands folks

very very small fingers so right now

there's only one product that is going

to contain this new technology and it's

their new Dominator platinum RGB you can

actually see they've got like a history

of Dominator platinum here and they

haven't gone that crazy so they've only

got 12 of these capella X LEDs mounted

to it but what they're talking about

sounds pretty incredible because not

only can they mount these things to a

rigid PCV they can even mount them to a

flexible PCB so even some of their most

RGB tout products like some of their

fans with 16 LEDs built into them I mean

this is a whole new level they could put

hundreds of LEDs into a

and do like I mean they could even

display something when you think about

it

this is fundamentally a small LED

display it's absolutely incredible now

they're gonna need some software

upgrades because at the current time a

single channel off of I believe it's

their node pro controller is that sound

right

Aaron node Pro single channel 100 LEDs

at a time right now yeah they're so a

single channel can only support 100 LEDs

which is like I'd have to do this so

those guys have some work to do to catch

up to this but this enables all kinds of

new possibilities for LED lighting you

could conceivably have a system with

thousands or tens of thousands of LEDs

sille in a nutshell more compact more

power efficient or brighter so they

could do something like a wireless

backlit keyboard for example and just

generally more possibilities because

they can put them anywhere like that

look at the difference in profile here

it's crazy

speaking up for referrals they're

stepping up their game there as well so

we've had range issues actually with our

dark core RGB wireless mouse and our new

employee lounge and I was so thrilled to

see the harpoon RGB wireless so the

incredible thing about this is twofold

number one is the wireless technology

that they've built into it so Corsair

says but with a single device connected

to a dongle they've achieved 500

microseconds so that is about half of a

millisecond of latency on this thing and

with two devices connected like if you

had a a harpoon RGB wireless and then a

future keyboard that presumably they're

working on you could get one millisecond

on each and that's with a micro dongle

so this is a new technology they're

calling slipstream and the second really

cool thing about it is the price so

they're not holding back on us and

launching this with a hundred and fifty

dollar knows they want slipstream

freaking everywhere in their lineup and

they went well this mouse is the one

that's currently most ready for

production so we're gonna put it in

there boom let's go 50 bucks it's super

light it's just under 100 grams and the

range is actually really impressive so

it's running off of that system

they're one of the coarser 1i 140s but

that's not the crazy thing that's not

really that far it's that they're doing

it at CES so part of their slipstream

technology is that they're able to

straddle two frequencies at a time for a

very short period and decide on which

one is the best in order to maintain

that latency and showing it off working

at a trade show like CES without any

hitching is either brave or foolish

so far it's actually been working really

well for most of our time with it so I'm

leaning towards brave but I mean there's

still plenty of time for them to regret

this it's just looking pretty darn good

at the moment they're boasting thirty

hours of battery life using slipstream

or up to sixty using bluetooth LE

although of course there is a latency

disadvantage there and it comes with a

little compartment on the bottom for the

dongle as well as a switch so you can go

between 2.4 gigahertz slipstream and

Bluetooth this puppy is available hey

hey I Harry when's the harpoon available

now ok

you can buy it today so you can go check

it out at the link in the video

description speaking of the link in the

video description this video is brought

to you by the Corsair 1 the lineup goes

all the way from the i-140 which has an

RT x 2080 and an 8 core processor all

the way up to the I 180 Pro which is

really closer to a workstation than it

is to gaming with 12 cores 32 gigs of

ram an RT x 28 e TI a 750 watt power

supply and this is all in the same slim

form factor as the original Corsair 1 so

you can check that out at the link in

the video description thanks to Corsair

for sponsoring this video and thanks to

you guys for watching don't miss any of

our CES content we will see you guys at

the next move oh by the way the elgato

guys here at Corsair we're gonna be

super sad if I didn't mention their key

light so you can control it so check

this out you can adjust color

temperature and brightness and stuff

with your stream deck it's like Wi-Fi

connected if your streamer is pretty

sick if you're not a streamer then maybe

you just really like having like a light

on your desk but that's cool too
