    Only thing i want to see from Corsair an external graphics solution to take on Asus ROG XG Station 2 and Razor Core. That would be very nice. :3eyes:

    Then maybe some cases that have USB 3.1 Type c, but that's not too big of a deal.

    What's the point of this product? I use my keyboard & mouse on my sofa just fine (I don't have a desk as I prefer to be comfortable and sit in my reclining sofa)

    Usability and ergonomic for gaming. I played around with this lapdog last year at Computex, and it is really comfortable to use, especially for gaming.

    Now this is something really interesting... The only reason I don't play much on my 42" TV is because it's uncomfortable.

    I remember when TW3 came out, my 970 couldn't quite push 60fps at 1440p (my monitor) so I tried it on my 1080p TV and it ran great. But I had to use a controller and it was a no no.

    This would absolutely fix that. Very curious about this, will do some research on this straight away! Only problem seems to be that I'd have to buy another keyboard to use this, making this quite expensive.

    I used to play a few things on the TV when I had a wireless K&M, never since going wired

    $120 for a board to put your keyboard on? I'll pass.

    Mouse pad is too small for anyone running a slow mouse (basically anyone who has tried to play csgo or another shooter at a higher level).

    That's a great idea but spendy. $60-$80 perhaps.

    I went the other route years ago (brought living room to PC) and currently have a 43" 4KTV on my desk w/ nice 5.1. Kind of massive but hard to go back to a monitor after going big.

    Nothing wrong with gaming on most HDTVs. Make sure to put it in gaming mode (or turn off all the picture enhancements) to get best latency. I hear if you rename (newer) Samsung inputs to "PC", it helps those sets latency even further.

    Where would you rest our wrists? also the mouse pad looks pretty small so you would need to be running pretty high dpi/sens

    So you start out saying "But only in the US, UK, Sweden and Germany" and end up saying "North America, UK, France, Germany and Scandinavia"

    Scandinavia is not just Sweden, but also Denmark, Norway and Finland.

    Might be interested if:

    a) I didn't already have my ideal gaming lounge setup. Logitech K800, RAT 9, Logitech G930 and a comfy recliner.

    b) I didn't have a pathological hatred of cables
