Cooler Master Elite 110, Novatouch TKL Topre Keyboard, Alcor & MIzar Mice - CES 2014

The CES 2014 coverage from Linus Tech Tips presents a compact yet capable setup centered around Cooler Master’s Elite 110 mini ITX chassis, a Novatouch TKL Topre keyboard, and the Alcor and Mizar gaming mice. The Elite 110 is highlighted as a truly compact, no-compromises gaming rig that still fits a full-size ATX power supply and a single 120 mm liquid cooling radiator beneath the motherboard. Space for cable management and drive mounts is noted on the top and sides, with room for two 2.5 inch drives or a 3.5+2.5 combo, and an optional cage to support additional SSDs. The footage emphasizes practical build considerations, such as keeping airflow unobstructed and ensuring the graphics card length accommodates mini ITX designs, with MSI’s upcoming GTX 760 mentioned as a compatible option for this enclosure. Moving to peripherals, the Novatouch TKL is showcased as a Topre switch keyboard that preserves switch feel while enabling keycap customization by making the switches compatible with Cherry keycaps, appealing to modding enthusiasts. Rounding out the lineup are the Alcor and Mizar mice, which share a familiar ergonomic silhouette and offer two sensor options, including a 4000 DPI optical sensor and an 8200 DPI laser sensor, along with RGB lighting and soft, grippy side materials. The host notes the ongoing debate between optical and laser sensors for gaming mice and teases hands-on footage that will illuminate which sensor choices best suit various grip styles. Overall, the segment teases a versatile CES showcase that combines compact PC design with customizable, enthusiast-grade peripherals, while acknowledging Linus Tech Tips’ corporate sponsorships and their partners.
