Corsair's Project Orion is the best use of its ultra-bright Capellix LEDs yet

During last year’s CES, Corsair unveiled its Capellix LEDs—smaller, brighter, and more power-efficient LEDs than the conventional ones found in RGB components. At that time we called them, somewhat tongue-in-cheek, the most important item at the show.

For CES 2020, Corsair showed off a new implementation of Capellix in Project Orion, a modified Corsair Crystal 465X case with the LEDs lining the inside of its glass panels. Embedded into a transparent film, the ultra-bright LEDs illuminate the exterior of the case without interfering with the clarity of the view of the internal components.

We were able to play with a few saved presets in Corsair’s iCue management software to cycle the grid of 150 Capellix LEDs through different color schemes and patterns, including a downward stream of green inspired by the Matrix and the standard roll through a rainbow of hues. One monochrome red pattern stood out as particularly striking in its intensity of color, giving the impression of being on a warship in a 1980s movie.
