00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:09,120
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the rocket rocket rocket rocket that's

2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:11,799
the way to say it rocket rocket iscu FX

3
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:16,720
so this is a premium level gaming keyboard and before we get too far into

4
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:20,920
this no it isn't mechanical but it does have a lot of features that do set it

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,840
apart from other keyboards even at this price range so the MSRP is something

6
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:29,519
like €99 but it's really the software that

7
00:00:27,279 --> 00:00:33,320
sets this guy apart as well as some of the design things that they've

8
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:37,680
integrated that really do make it a tool for enhancing your gaming experience

9
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:41,360
whether it's to make you better or whether it's just to make it more

10
00:00:39,239 --> 00:00:44,960
enjoyable and so we'll get into some of those in a bit more detail once we get

11
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:48,520
it opened up so first there's a quick installation guide important document

12
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:55,440
you know what we're not going to worry too much about that download the latest drivers off the rocket website and that

13
00:00:53,359 --> 00:01:01,760
was pretty much it so packaging is very minimalistic on this guy there we are

14
00:00:59,079 --> 00:01:08,159
and let's start going through some of the features once we get this uh

15
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:11,040
covering sort of torn off there we

16
00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:17,479
go there we go all right so relatively low profile

17
00:01:15,320 --> 00:01:22,360
keys so you can see the key caps don't stand up very high so it's not quite

18
00:01:20,079 --> 00:01:26,640
like a like a laptop keyboard but it is uh there the idea is responsiveness so

19
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:30,040
it features 1,000 Herz pulling rate so there should be pretty much no leg and

20
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:33,640
then the idea with the low profile key is that you should be able to actuate

21
00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:37,280
them more quickly this is especially important for membrane key switches

22
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:40,920
because you do have to bottom them out in order to activate them I'm actually

23
00:01:39,079 --> 00:01:47,079
going to pull this up as a cheat sheet because there's a lot of stuff to cover

24
00:01:43,960 --> 00:01:48,880
all right programmable keys so you've

25
00:01:47,079 --> 00:01:54,920
actually got a Zone here and I'm going to use this to illustrate it right here

26
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:57,719
of 20 keys that can have macro

27
00:01:54,920 --> 00:02:02,399
functionality programmed into them and simply by using the rocket shift plus so

28
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:06,439
you have a regular shift key and then you have another sort of see you can see

29
00:02:04,719 --> 00:02:10,440
it's got like a weird sort of graphic on it with like a downward shift and a plus

30
00:02:08,319 --> 00:02:15,440
so that's the shift plus so when you're gaming you put your hand there and then

31
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:19,160
all of these Keys over here in this Zone that you can reach with your hand can be

32
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:24,800
programmed to have macro functionality this to me is a way better solution than

33
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:28,560
having something like a programmable key that's off to the side I mean we've seen

34
00:02:26,879 --> 00:02:31,440
ones with banks of programmable keys that are this big how you going to reach

35
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:36,319
any you don't take your hand off the keyboard to go like fumble with a macro

36
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:40,440
it doesn't work that way so the shift is a great addition not only that but with

37
00:02:38,920 --> 00:02:46,560
rocket talk so if you have a rocket Mouse as well you can press shift on

38
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:48,879
your mouse and then activate a macro key

39
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:51,879
on the keyboard or you can press shift on the keyboard and change the

40
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:56,599
functionality of any of the keys on the mouse so the way that they work together

41
00:02:54,040 --> 00:03:00,760
is very very very cool you've also got some fully programmable keys so these

42
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:04,920
can have a basic function programmed and then a shift plus functionality

43
00:03:03,519 --> 00:03:08,879
programmed into them so either those can be macros or regular functionality and

44
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,560
they've added three thumb buttons here that they're calling like quick strike

45
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:16,599
buttons or something along those lines so the idea is that they're things that you could reach with your thumb rather

46
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:20,159
than spacebar and there's a little indent here so you can tell which one

47
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:24,640
you're actually touching so that's very very cool stuff they've actually also

48
00:03:21,519 --> 00:03:26,599
added an indent on the W key itself so

49
00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:31,120
there's your regular home row ones your W and then this thumb one here as well

50
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:35,560
as the five over on the number pad the layout is very standard so they haven't

51
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:38,840
committed any cardinal sins the caps lock key looks like it's been replaced

52
00:03:37,439 --> 00:03:42,280
I'm not sure if they have a software functionality to turn that back on it's

53
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:47,040
probably not the end of the world since most Gamers should have their cap slot

54
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:49,120
Keys taken away anyway um long enter

55
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:53,120
backspace and shift keys so nothing nothing wrong with the layout whatsoever

56
00:03:51,239 --> 00:03:56,079
quick macro recording so on the Fly you can record macros and use them this is

57
00:03:54,799 --> 00:04:00,840
kind of neat this is something we have seen before there are also media Keys up

58
00:03:58,519 --> 00:04:04,120
here at the top and and pretty soon it's going to be time to start talking about

59
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:08,680
some of the other software functionality which I've kind of forgotten about ah

60
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:10,519
yes so rocket FX is pretty neat so you

61
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:14,519
can actually tell the keyboard you want it to have certain effects when certain

62
00:04:12,879 --> 00:04:20,280
things happen so if you get hit for example the keyboard could glow red it

63
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:24,639
has fully uh adjustable colors so something with 16.8 million colors so

64
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:29,720
you can light it up in whatever color you want 180 plus programmable functions

65
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:33,960
and the macro live recording k25 Plus functions assignable to Media plus hot

66
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:36,840
Keys okay yeah we got all that got all that six brightness levels ah it has

67
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:41,199
anti- ghosting so you don't have to worry about uh so what ghosting is is if

68
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:45,639
you press a bunch of keys then it can just register random extra key strokes

69
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:49,759
so it does have anti- ghosting th Herz pulling rate we've covered already the

70
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:56,680
rocket talk set bonus is neat so the uh cone pier and The Cone

71
00:04:52,639 --> 00:04:58,560
uh shoot xtd are the ones that actually

72
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:01,560
support that functionality with the keyboard

73
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:08,600
uh we'll be back in a moment so you can have a number of different game profiles

74
00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:11,720
and that can be indicated by the profile selector button up here so that'll shift

75
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:15,039
to a bunch of different macros and all that kind of cool stuff the wrist rest

76
00:05:13,639 --> 00:05:19,919
is actually I think one of the stronger points of this keyboard not necessarily

77
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:24,120
because it's like uh super heavy duty or anything like that but it's quite long

78
00:05:22,199 --> 00:05:26,919
so it actually gives you somewhere to rest your wrist unlike a lot of the

79
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:32,199
gaming keyboards we've seen in the past that are kind of like this where you fall off them especially if you have

80
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:36,199
long hands so it's a very natural it's a very natural shape to put your entire

81
00:05:34,039 --> 00:05:41,400
Palm down which is technically bad keyboarding form but let's face it a lot

82
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:45,199
of people do it so it is what it is you've got cable management holes on the

83
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:48,800
bottom here so you can route your mouse cable or sort of any other necessary

84
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:54,080
cables around you've also got a nice rubber on the bottom all over the place

85
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:57,039
so the entire under the uh wrist rest is here here here and here and then up on

86
00:05:55,759 --> 00:06:02,720
the top of the keyboard they're here here and here and then these

87
00:05:58,759 --> 00:06:04,639
unfortunately do not have oh do they I

88
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:08,400
can't I can't quite tell it looks like it yeah these have the same rubber pads

89
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:11,840
on them as well so that's actually quite nice to see because sometimes you put

90
00:06:10,199 --> 00:06:14,440
those feet up and they don't have rubber on them so they can actually move around

91
00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:18,240
yeah the whole keyboard is not going anywhere once we got it set up so I

92
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:21,479
think that pretty much covers it for now thank you for checking out this unboxing

93
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:24,880
and first look at the iscu FX from rocket don't forget to subscribe to Line

Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer

95
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:33,440
videos actually it occurs to me now we should have done a uh a night shot of

96
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:38,319
this guy so you can see we've got it on a cycling effect where it's changing the

97
00:06:36,599 --> 00:06:43,560
colors or it's breathing or it's doing something I don't know there's a bunch of different functionality that you can

98
00:06:41,319 --> 00:06:47,000
access just by pressing the there we go so there's some different brightness

99
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:51,720
levels it's kind of neat the way they've done the illumination so the keys

100
00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:56,280
actually don't even look like uh like they're clear like they're seethrough

101
00:06:53,919 --> 00:06:59,800
for the uh for the buttons themselves you can see them quite clearly in the

102
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:04,400
light but then they do illuminate once the keyboard is uh once the light gets a

103
00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:08,400
little bit darker in the room so now we're actually done
