Looks like they listened to us about their keyboards being full mechanical, black with led lighting. Good stuff.
 
Holy shit.......

These guys have been busy.
I looked at that 900D, you could rent it out as a garage for your Smart car.:eek:

I'm just wondering in follow up from a prior thread, what has happened to the Accelerator cache drives?
They have all but vanished?
I read someplace where Nvelo was purchased by Samsung? Maybe they don't share well.
 
Corsair Vengeance 2000 is getting Dolby finally!

This is fantastic news.. this will now make it THE ultimate wireless headset for gaming.

900D pics please? Where are they ?
 
I have their Corsair Survivor 128GB USB 3.0 thumb drive. Pretty nice piece of hardware!
 
At the risk of sounding like a Fan Boy, I love corsair products. They build solid shit and have good support.

I did pass on the headphones for the PC 360, which I don't regret at all.

I'll definitely be getting one of those new mice shortly as my G500 has now died twice (left click stopped working or double clicked constantly on both).

I'd get the K95 if it was offered tenkeyless and I didn't already have a Ducky Shine TKL.
 
Meh.. it's just a big standard case... IMO nothing beats the silverstone raven 3. The whole 90deg rotation DRASTICALLY improves everything!

So much so that not only is it infinitely more user friendly to work on the ports on top vs on the back (usually against a wall) but the cooling system layout + fans + components being rotated = I can get 85-90% of efficiency on my new raven setup as I did before with my TJ07 watercooled with a GTX480 rad.
 
Wooo Obsidian900D! I've been happy with the 800D but I'm strongly considering an upgrade so I can move my 800D to house my server-box instead. Its awesome that Corsair is crafting a case with the kind of features that you can find on some of those exorbitant priced offerings. I'm guessing that the 900D and the TJ11 will remain the "top of the line" common-production cases around. However, with the TJ11's pricing and possible lack of features compared to 900D, I can't see the advantage there unless you want to go full aluminum. I'm trying to decide between the 900D (maybe) TJ11, and MountainMods cases for my next selection, but it seems Corsair may win out.

I'd like more data on the Voyager Air, bigtime. Linux compatibility really piques my curiosity. With luck it supports a ton of standard parameters for networking (ie Samba4, NFS ) and doesn't require any sort of proprietary programs to connect. High speed connectivity is necessary too - USB 3.0, Gigabit Ethernet, and it would be awesome if its wireless was dual band 802.11AC (or at least 5ghz 450mb N).

I have to admit I'm a little disappointed when it comes to the new K95. Mechanical is great, dark color scheme is great. However, why have singular color backlighting? Why not variable color LED backlighting such as present on Logitech G19/G510? Also, the lack of a mini-display to complete with Logi's GamePanel, Razer's DeathStalker, and Madcatz/Cyborg's offerings... is too bad. Ideally a multitouch, capacitive, detachable-from-the-keyboard- USB3 display that doesn't require proprietary drivers to interact with it would one-up the competition.

The mice look great, and just in time as I've been having the scroll-bug with my M90 that has made it considerably less usable.

Actually it's what they should have done in the first place IMO. But being Corsair, people just bought the crap out of a product that was literally released half finished.

:(

I don't think that's for me. I've been nothing but exceedingly happy with the 800. It's been very quiet over the last year or year and half I've had it. The only thing I have against it is that it is heavy. But it is very easy to get around in that case, get your cables routed, and get in to it for any work that needs done.

Jeez, looks like you need a 500 watt PSU just for the case alone.

+1 :)
 
Meh keeping my K90. Prefer the 'silver' aluminum surface (can't beat that floating key effect, even without backlighting) and could not give two shits about mech buttons for the F keys and others I never use during gaming.
 
K95...I like it. I'd love it if it were available with red backlighting.

(psst.. Corsair...are you listening?)
