HyperX Unveils New Products at CES 2017
Hey guys, Eber here with H conx at CES 2017, where we're covering HyperX's new products that include an updated Revolver headset and some new gaming peripherals. Big thanks to Nvidia, Gigabyte, Fantex, and NC for our CES coverage.
You guys may remember that a while ago we looked at the HyperX Alloy keyboard Link in the description, and they're now in the process of updating the entire Alloy lineup. The first add-on is an RGB Edition that has a completely new design with a mil thin alloy frame and GB LEDs that can be configured to almost 16 million different colors. Unlike some of HyperX's other keyboards, expect this one to come with a full software suite for changing the backlight colors and implementing custom macros. Also unlike the smaller Alloy keyboards, this one will have a full Suite of features including a palm rest dedicated media controls and several gaming presets.
There are three buttons along the top which control the backlight, allowing you to switch between profiles and enable the keyboard's game mode. Game mode actually turns off the Windows key so you won't accidentally press it while gaming. Pricing for this keyboard will be about $150 for the fully equipped version that you see in this video, while a more basic version with simple red back blade and no dedicated software will retail for about $110. The exact launch date hasn't been determined yet, but expect the Alloy RGB in Q3.
The standard HyperX Alloy FPS keyboard that we took a while back ago is coming with a makeover with Cherry MX Brown O Red switch options, which is pretty awesome. Another new addition to the HyperX family is the Pulsefire mouse, priced at just $50 and designed for gamers who want a basic non-nonsense Mouse without a ton of unnecessary features. The Pulsefire uses a PixArt 3310 sensor with four preset DPI levels of 400, 800, 600, and 3200, and it's designed with numerous gripping styles in mind. Those DPI levels have a small visual indicator right behind the scroll wheel which glows white for 400 DPI, red for 800 DPI, blue for 4600 DPI, and yellow for 43200 DPI.
The Pulsefire reminded me a lot of the Razor DeathAdder, it's got a plastic body, well-defined scroll steps, and strategically placed grip surfaces promoted a light but very controlled mouse that should be great for FPS Gamers. Its price of $50 makes it super appealing too. The last product HyperX was showing was their new Cloud Revolver S, according to them this is the most advanced HyperX headset to date since it offers plug-and-play Dolby 7.1 St sound through the integration of Dolby's headphone technology.
This is all packed into a new USB dock that is supposed to deliver three-dimensional positional audio with a push-up a button. We tried it and the Dolby 7.1 surrounded very good in games with well-defined directional effects, but the 7.1 didn't translate all that well into music. Luckily HyperX has included an all inline control which can turn off the surround sound. Remember that this is a hardware-based Dolby DPS solution that doesn't use a software layer, so for the time being an equalizer isn't being included quite yet.
I should also mention that the Revolver S is compatible with both PC and PS4 but not the Xbox one since a Microsoft platform doesn't have Dolby headphone support past the obvious addition of a virtual Surround Sound Stage. HyperX has also listened to critique of their past Revolver design and has improved in a number of areas, we complained about the reverberations from the original metallic headband support but now there is a rubberized insert so that minimizes those issues noise cancellation has also been improved with the included Advanced DSP.
HyperX is hoping to have the Revolver S available on March 13th for a price of $150. That concludes yet another video from CES 2017, stay tuned for more content.
