1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,480
i'm still rocking an original Corsair k70 RGB with cherry mx brown switches

2
00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:11,840
from a number of years ago to be clear i love

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:15,759
that thing it performs exactly like the day i got it but lately i've been

4
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:19,680
considering a new keyboard for a little while because i've been finding myself

5
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:24,800
doing more gaming and less spreadsheets so i don't really

6
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:28,720
need the number pad that badly anymore and this one

7
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:32,880
caught my eye for a few reasons it's 10 keyless which means more room for

8
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:38,239
mousing a huge consideration for me since the only games i really play are

9
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:41,680
beat saber which is downstairs on my vr

10
00:00:38,239 --> 00:00:43,920
setup and anno 1800 which is basically

11
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:47,360
mouse movement simulator what do they make this tape out

12
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:51,760
i need a knife can i have a knife please this video is

13
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:55,440
brought to you by private internet access

14
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:59,760
pia is the vpn service that lets you access services and websites as though

15
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:03,920
you are in another country it encrypts all your traffic and routes it through a

16
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:08,799
safe protected ip and allows you to connect up to five devices on a single

17
00:01:06,479 --> 00:01:12,560
account with clients for Windows macOS Android iOS and Linux try it out risk

18
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:17,360
free at the link in the video description now back to this thing that i was

19
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:21,280
already in the middle of thank you sir

20
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:25,119
that's better reason number two is lightspeed wireless this is a wireless

21
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:28,720
keyboard and logitech's lightspeed technology means you get negligible

22
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:32,720
latency while cleaning up some of the wires that i keep getting attacked about

23
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:37,520
online do you know how much flack they give me about the wire mess at my desk

24
00:01:34,799 --> 00:01:43,040
it's not fair for the low low price of just 220 or 230 us dollars or whatever i

25
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:47,920
can take care of that reason number three look how low profile this thing is

26
00:01:46,159 --> 00:01:52,720
like that is a slim

27
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:57,200
keyboard we've actually got a bunch of messaging bragging about the engineering

28
00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:02,000
of making a keyboard this thin on their website i guess the engineers over at

29
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:07,119
logitech have never seen a laptop in all seriousness though okay what is

30
00:02:04,399 --> 00:02:13,360
special about this is that it uses mechanical switches these are using what

31
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:15,280
they call their low profile gl switches

32
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:19,599
and they're apparently high performance mech switches for gamers with half of

33
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:25,360
the physical height of typical mechanical switches and while i wasn't a

34
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:31,040
huge fan of logitech's roamer g initiative i didn't mind them and they

35
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:36,000
have done so much great peripheral engineering over the last like

36
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:39,840
really the last five years that i want to give this a chance i i want to give

37
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:45,280
these a try oh boy that's disappointing it uses a

38
00:02:42,239 --> 00:02:48,319
micro b cable for charging yeah that's a

39
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:51,040
bummer so they boast long battery life

40
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:58,080
on this puppy 40 hours with the RGB enabled but like

41
00:02:53,440 --> 00:03:00,000
oh man micro usb's time has officially

42
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:04,720
ended as far as i'm concerned on anything that cost more than like

43
00:03:02,239 --> 00:03:09,280
20 bucks i understand that the type c connector is more complicated to

44
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:13,440
implement and it is more expensive but

45
00:03:10,239 --> 00:03:14,159
micro b is just it's too fragile look at

46
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:18,480
it ew see ew

47
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:23,040
oh yeah last thing RGB all right let's go ahead and plug in

48
00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:26,720
that i don't want we'll try and plug it right down uh other side toggle there we

49
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,680
go yeah cool thing about lightspeed is i'm already using a g pro wireless i

50
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:33,760
actually just switched over that recently so you can use a single light

51
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:37,360
speed dongle to handle both of your peripherals in that case and because i

52
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:42,159
picked up a power play that means i don't have to have basically any

53
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:45,680
dongles or cables for my peripherals other than of course

54
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:49,200
cable for charging oh interesting

55
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:52,879
that is not working oh there's your problem

56
00:03:50,799 --> 00:03:59,040
it's not switched off all right that is some pretty vibrant

57
00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:02,080
RGB considering this thing is a wireless

58
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:04,560
keyboard does it stay as vibrant yes all

59
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:09,519
right that's pretty cool well let's take a quick look at iboo at

60
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:13,439
this thing so we've got oh lightspeed wireless versus bluetooth wireless cool

61
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:18,079
this could actually be handy for me because when i'm streaming i don't have a secondary monitor i just have one big

62
00:04:16,799 --> 00:04:23,680
ultra wide on my desk i don't really have anywhere to put another monitor so i actually prop up my phone under my

63
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:27,040
monitor i have a little stand for it and i use that to monitor twitch chat when

64
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:30,560
i'm monitoring twitch chat so realistically if i was replying to twitch chat i would probably just say

65
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:36,080
something okay whatever the point is we're going back to lightspeed wireless we've also got a gaming button which as

66
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:39,120
far as i know just like disables the start menu although it's with logitech

67
00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:44,080
software i'm sure you can configure it to do other things if you really want to i never really cared about that anyway

68
00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:48,479
we've got brightness adjustment here and then media keys

69
00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:52,720
nice got the volume wheel big fan of the volume wheel guys buttons just not a

70
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:59,120
replacement for a volume wheel and then of course a 10 keyless layout now

71
00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:00,479
i wasn't really sure about low profile

72
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:05,600
the low profile experience because the thing is what's funny is if you look at

73
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:07,759
it from the side it's low profile but at

74
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:10,720
the bottom edge of it like you still have if you want to rest your wrist on

75
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:14,000
the table you still have that kind of that angle to your

76
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:19,120
wrist but what's cool is even though this is a low profile design they've gone and they've

77
00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:22,240
included these feet anyway so you can pop it out and i would

78
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:27,280
probably go with just the first level of pop out here pop this puppy out

79
00:05:25,039 --> 00:05:30,639
and that actually looks a little better one other thing i noticed on the bottom

80
00:05:28,639 --> 00:05:35,360
here too check this out a little spot for the dongle this gets overlooked so

81
00:05:33,039 --> 00:05:39,039
often by lesser products just like hey yeah got this wireless dongle by the way

82
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:44,240
you're gonna lose it because we didn't make a place to store it

83
00:05:41,919 --> 00:05:46,800
interesting i'm actually super happy right now

84
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:52,160
for whatever reason the vast majority of gamer marketing key

85
00:05:49,759 --> 00:05:56,880
switches out there are linear switches which i personally find

86
00:05:54,160 --> 00:06:00,240
spongy and actually like uncomfortable i do not like typing on them i make a ton

87
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:07,800
of mistakes did this thing just go to sleep it's awake but

88
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,800
i'm not getting any input

89
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,600
a little dirt moment there yeah it wouldn't wake back up until i turn it

90
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:18,960
off and turn it back on that's not a great first impression let's start with

91
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:24,720
a typing test because i'm ready to jump right into it i'm

92
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,720
feeling good about this

93
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:38,880
85 words per minute with five errors on

94
00:06:37,039 --> 00:06:44,240
a keyboard that i am touching for the first time

95
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:46,880
that is not bad these have a nice subtle

96
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:50,720
tactile bump in them kind of like a brown switch it's a little heavy like

97
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:55,120
it's not it's not light like you've definitely got that strong mechanical

98
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:59,120
feel i actually really like this thing for typing thing is even though i have

99
00:06:57,280 --> 00:07:05,120
been doing a lot more gaming lately i also type a lot at my computer so it's

100
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:08,880
it's a consideration for me no matter what let's go ahead and fire up a game

101
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:13,680
shall we apparently the only thing we loaded on this thing is csgo because you

102
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:18,160
guys just love watching me fail at cs go don't chat i'm surprised more people

103
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:21,440
don't practice uh cs go with bots you know all the fake accounts on social

104
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:26,320
media it must feel good to really you know get

105
00:07:23,599 --> 00:07:28,639
back at them right the bots

106
00:07:28,639 --> 00:07:35,840
i completely forgot that i was testing a keyboard and just immediately got into

107
00:07:33,599 --> 00:07:39,199
playing the game which i consider to be an extremely good sign

108
00:07:37,759 --> 00:07:45,840
i can't really see the crosshair from here this is not optimal

109
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,840
oh lordy

110
00:07:47,599 --> 00:07:54,400
oh no there they are oh they're harmless oh i got killed

111
00:07:52,319 --> 00:07:58,319
this is actually quite comfortable

112
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:03,280
i'd say there's less of a distinct tactile bump compared to a cherry mx

113
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:05,199
brown but like the travel feels

114
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:10,240
comparable to a higher profile like full mechanical

115
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:15,919
keyboard experience okay i am really impressed by how thin it is this is not

116
00:08:13,039 --> 00:08:19,280
your typical laptop keyboard it's kind of heavy too considering its

117
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:23,840
size like not a lot of flex i i like this

118
00:08:21,759 --> 00:08:28,639
thing oh terrace one that's why i can't take over the uh

119
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:34,080
wow did my team lose holy bananes that's fine because i'm

120
00:08:31,599 --> 00:08:37,839
getting uh i'm getting it up this time i'm open boys

121
00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:42,560
just gotta run faster with my knife get out there

122
00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:44,399
oh no oh no oh no

123
00:08:42,560 --> 00:08:48,320
oh no oh no

124
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:52,320
oh no oh no oh i missed

125
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:55,920
how did i die i really like this thing

126
00:08:54,399 --> 00:09:00,720
i'm gonna give it a shot as a daily driver maybe you guys will see a full review over on the Linus tech tips

127
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:04,959
channel sometime in the future one thing i would kind of want to look into is

128
00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:08,959
like if there's any way that i could mod it to just run

129
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:13,519
while continuously charging without a cable like a power play charger doodad

130
00:09:11,839 --> 00:09:16,800
inside it or something like that that that'd be that'd be sick that's the next

131
00:09:15,279 --> 00:09:21,519
level for logitech is they need like a power play desk pad that'll charge both

132
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:25,040
your keyboard and your mouse while you're while you're gaming so you just don't

133
00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:29,360
have to have any cables on your desk there you go logitech i'm the idea man

134
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:33,519
here free of charge all you got to do is engineer it so guys you can check out

135
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:40,160
the link to uh where to buy one of these this is the g915 tkl lightspeed wireless

136
00:09:37,839 --> 00:09:43,440
tactile so that explains what oh that's why they sent two

137
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:46,160
nope this is also jail tactile they must just know me pretty well uh we're gonna

138
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:53,480
have that linked in the video description and i don't know subscribe we don't

139
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,480
really have a standard outro over here
