Corsair Strafe RGB, Scimitar RGB, and Void - PAX Prime 2015

The video covers Corsair’s new peripherals announced for PAX Prime 2015, focusing on three main products: the Strafe RGB keyboard, the Scimitar RGB MMO mouse, and the Void headset series. The host explains that the Strafe RGB is similar to the original Strafe but now sports a white back plate to accommodate RGB lighting and higher brightness, enhancing color vibrancy. A key highlight is Corsair's new MX Silent mechanical switch, which is based on the Cherry MX Red lineage but with a reduced travel distance that shortens the actuation point while keeping actuation at the same position, potentially delivering faster response times for gaming. The Scimitar RGB mouse is noted for its 16.8 million color customization via Corsair’s Q software, a 3988 sensor with up to 12,000 DPI, and a movable macro-key bank that can be repositioned to optimize comfort for MMO and MOBA play. The host also describes the Void headset lineup, emphasizing infomic microphone status LEDs, a Q control dial for quick EQ or Dolby toggling, and the range of models including wireless and wired variants, along with cross-platform compatibility for the stereo model. Throughout the segment, Corsair’s integration with other hardware sponsors and the general design language of RGB-centric gaming gear are underscored as the core theme of the Pax Prime coverage, with practical notes on features, pricing tiers, and intended user benefits as listeners are invited to try the gear and share feedback.
