00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.480
i'm still rocking an original Corsair k70 RGB with cherry mx brown switches

00:00:05.520 --> 00:00:11.840
from a number of years ago to be clear i love

00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:15.759
that thing it performs exactly like the day i got it but lately i've been

00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:19.680
considering a new keyboard for a little while because i've been finding myself

00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:24.800
doing more gaming and less spreadsheets so i don't really

00:00:22.400 --> 00:00:28.720
need the number pad that badly anymore and this one

00:00:26.080 --> 00:00:32.880
caught my eye for a few reasons it's 10 keyless which means more room for

00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:38.239
mousing a huge consideration for me since the only games i really play are

00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:41.680
beat saber which is downstairs on my vr

00:00:38.239 --> 00:00:43.920
setup and anno 1800 which is basically

00:00:41.680 --> 00:00:47.360
mouse movement simulator what do they make this tape out

00:00:45.760 --> 00:00:51.760
i need a knife can i have a knife please this video is

00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:55.440
brought to you by private internet access

00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:59.760
pia is the vpn service that lets you access services and websites as though

00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:03.920
you are in another country it encrypts all your traffic and routes it through a

00:01:02.160 --> 00:01:08.799
safe protected ip and allows you to connect up to five devices on a single

00:01:06.479 --> 00:01:12.560
account with clients for Windows macOS Android iOS and Linux try it out risk

00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:17.360
free at the link in the video description now back to this thing that i was

00:01:15.360 --> 00:01:21.280
already in the middle of thank you sir

00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:25.119
that's better reason number two is lightspeed wireless this is a wireless

00:01:23.360 --> 00:01:28.720
keyboard and logitech's lightspeed technology means you get negligible

00:01:26.720 --> 00:01:32.720
latency while cleaning up some of the wires that i keep getting attacked about

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

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

00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:47.920
can take care of that reason number three look how low profile this thing is

00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:52.720
like that is a slim

00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:57.200
keyboard we've actually got a bunch of messaging bragging about the engineering

00:01:54.960 --> 00:02:02.000
of making a keyboard this thin on their website i guess the engineers over at

00:01:59.119 --> 00:02:07.119
logitech have never seen a laptop in all seriousness though okay what is

00:02:04.399 --> 00:02:13.360
special about this is that it uses mechanical switches these are using what

00:02:10.160 --> 00:02:15.280
they call their low profile gl switches

00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:19.599
and they're apparently high performance mech switches for gamers with half of

00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:25.360
the physical height of typical mechanical switches and while i wasn't a

00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:31.040
huge fan of logitech's roamer g initiative i didn't mind them and they

00:02:28.160 --> 00:02:36.000
have done so much great peripheral engineering over the last like

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

00:02:38.640 --> 00:02:45.280
these a try oh boy that's disappointing it uses a

00:02:42.239 --> 00:02:48.319
micro b cable for charging yeah that's a

00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:51.040
bummer so they boast long battery life

00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:58.080
on this puppy 40 hours with the RGB enabled but like

00:02:53.440 --> 00:03:00.000
oh man micro usb's time has officially

00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:04.720
ended as far as i'm concerned on anything that cost more than like

00:03:02.239 --> 00:03:09.280
20 bucks i understand that the type c connector is more complicated to

00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:13.440
implement and it is more expensive but

00:03:10.239 --> 00:03:14.159
micro b is just it's too fragile look at

00:03:13.440 --> 00:03:18.480
it ew see ew

00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:23.040
oh yeah last thing RGB all right let's go ahead and plug in

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

00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:29.680
go yeah cool thing about lightspeed is i'm already using a g pro wireless i

00:03:28.480 --> 00:03:33.760
actually just switched over that recently so you can use a single light

00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:37.360
speed dongle to handle both of your peripherals in that case and because i

00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:42.159
picked up a power play that means i don't have to have basically any

00:03:39.760 --> 00:03:45.680
dongles or cables for my peripherals other than of course

00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:49.200
cable for charging oh interesting

00:03:47.440 --> 00:03:52.879
that is not working oh there's your problem

00:03:50.799 --> 00:03:59.040
it's not switched off all right that is some pretty vibrant

00:03:55.680 --> 00:04:02.080
RGB considering this thing is a wireless

00:03:59.040 --> 00:04:04.560
keyboard does it stay as vibrant yes all

00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:09.519
right that's pretty cool well let's take a quick look at iboo at

00:04:07.040 --> 00:04:13.439
this thing so we've got oh lightspeed wireless versus bluetooth wireless cool

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

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

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

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

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

00:04:34.400 --> 00:04:39.120
far as i know just like disables the start menu although it's with logitech

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

00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:48.479
we've got brightness adjustment here and then media keys

00:04:45.840 --> 00:04:52.720
nice got the volume wheel big fan of the volume wheel guys buttons just not a

00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:59.120
replacement for a volume wheel and then of course a 10 keyless layout now

00:04:55.440 --> 00:05:00.479
i wasn't really sure about low profile

00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:05.600
the low profile experience because the thing is what's funny is if you look at

00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:07.759
it from the side it's low profile but at

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

00:05:09.280 --> 00:05:14.000
the table you still have that kind of that angle to your

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

00:05:17.280 --> 00:05:22.240
included these feet anyway so you can pop it out and i would

00:05:20.400 --> 00:05:27.280
probably go with just the first level of pop out here pop this puppy out

00:05:25.039 --> 00:05:30.639
and that actually looks a little better one other thing i noticed on the bottom

00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:35.360
here too check this out a little spot for the dongle this gets overlooked so

00:05:33.039 --> 00:05:39.039
often by lesser products just like hey yeah got this wireless dongle by the way

00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:44.240
you're gonna lose it because we didn't make a place to store it

00:05:41.919 --> 00:05:46.800
interesting i'm actually super happy right now

00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:52.160
for whatever reason the vast majority of gamer marketing key

00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:56.880
switches out there are linear switches which i personally find

00:05:54.160 --> 00:06:00.240
spongy and actually like uncomfortable i do not like typing on them i make a ton

00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:07.800
of mistakes did this thing just go to sleep it's awake but

00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:07.800
i'm not getting any input

00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:13.600
a little dirt moment there yeah it wouldn't wake back up until i turn it

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

00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:24.720
a typing test because i'm ready to jump right into it i'm

00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:24.720
feeling good about this

00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:38.880
85 words per minute with five errors on

00:06:37.039 --> 00:06:44.240
a keyboard that i am touching for the first time

00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:46.880
that is not bad these have a nice subtle

00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:50.720
tactile bump in them kind of like a brown switch it's a little heavy like

00:06:48.960 --> 00:06:55.120
it's not it's not light like you've definitely got that strong mechanical

00:06:52.880 --> 00:06:59.120
feel i actually really like this thing for typing thing is even though i have

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

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

00:07:07.440 --> 00:07:13.680
shall we apparently the only thing we loaded on this thing is csgo because you

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

00:07:15.440 --> 00:07:21.440
don't practice uh cs go with bots you know all the fake accounts on social

00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:26.320
media it must feel good to really you know get

00:07:23.599 --> 00:07:28.639
back at them right the bots

00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:35.840
i completely forgot that i was testing a keyboard and just immediately got into

00:07:33.599 --> 00:07:39.199
playing the game which i consider to be an extremely good sign

00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:45.840
i can't really see the crosshair from here this is not optimal

00:07:42.880 --> 00:07:45.840
oh lordy

00:07:47.599 --> 00:07:54.400
oh no there they are oh they're harmless oh i got killed

00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:58.319
this is actually quite comfortable

00:07:56.240 --> 00:08:03.280
i'd say there's less of a distinct tactile bump compared to a cherry mx

00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:05.199
brown but like the travel feels

00:08:03.280 --> 00:08:10.240
comparable to a higher profile like full mechanical

00:08:07.440 --> 00:08:15.919
keyboard experience okay i am really impressed by how thin it is this is not

00:08:13.039 --> 00:08:19.280
your typical laptop keyboard it's kind of heavy too considering its

00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:23.840
size like not a lot of flex i i like this

00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:28.639
thing oh terrace one that's why i can't take over the uh

00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:34.080
wow did my team lose holy bananes that's fine because i'm

00:08:31.599 --> 00:08:37.839
getting uh i'm getting it up this time i'm open boys

00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:42.560
just gotta run faster with my knife get out there

00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:44.399
oh no oh no oh no

00:08:42.560 --> 00:08:48.320
oh no oh no

00:08:45.760 --> 00:08:52.320
oh no oh no oh i missed

00:08:50.640 --> 00:08:55.920
how did i die i really like this thing

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

00:08:58.800 --> 00:09:04.959
channel sometime in the future one thing i would kind of want to look into is

00:09:02.560 --> 00:09:08.959
like if there's any way that i could mod it to just run

00:09:06.880 --> 00:09:13.519
while continuously charging without a cable like a power play charger doodad

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

00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:21.519
level for logitech is they need like a power play desk pad that'll charge both

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

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

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

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

00:09:37.839 --> 00:09:43.440
tactile so that explains what oh that's why they sent two

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

00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:53.480
have that linked in the video description and i don't know subscribe we don't

00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:53.480
really have a standard outro over here
