The MM400 Compact is a hard mat that's basically just a little smaller than the regular MM400 Sponsor Links: linustechtips.com Read more & join our community forum: bit.ly twitter.com @LinusTech Pricing & availability: ncix.com Intro Screen Music Credit: Adhesive Wombat -

At PAX Prime 2013 LinusTechTips showcases Corsair peripherals including the MM200 Extended desk pad and the MM400 Compact mouse pad alongside the Corsair Raptor K30 gaming keyboard. The MM200 Extended is presented as a large desk mat that can accommodate multiple mice or a keyboard and mouse side by side, designed to eliminate the awkward lip at the edge of a keyboard. The MM400 Compact is described as a smaller hard mat variant of the MM400, suitable for tight desk setups. The Raptor K30 is positioned as a value-oriented option in Corsair’s lineup, featuring plastic construction and membrane keys, while still offering backlighting, multiple brightness levels, programmable keys, a lockable Windows key, and dedicated media controls. Linus notes that while the K30 uses membrane switches, Corsair is also showing off Cherry MX Blue and Brown versions in the Vengeance line, which will ship later in the month, appealing to those who prefer mechanical keyboards. The segment ends with thanks to sponsors Western Digital, Intel, and SteelSeries and a reminder to subscribe for more PAX Prime 2013 coverage. The overall takeaway is that Corsair is expanding its desk-friendly peripherals with affordable options that still include key features like backlighting and configurable macros, while signaling upcoming availability of higher-end mechanical options in the Vengeance lineup.
