2
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:21,400
terms of information about this particular guy here is that this is

3
00:00:17,119 --> 00:00:24,960
model number 1482 of a keyboard made by

4
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:27,840

000019 in terms of the part number and it comes in a brown box this is a

6
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:38,200
Microsoft keyboard which has a bit of a wave to it let's go ahead and take the

7
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:43,120
uh plastic covering off here and hopefully at some point we will be able

8
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:48,000
to find out exactly what this model is ah here we go so apparently what I have

9
00:00:46,039 --> 00:00:53,520

10
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:56,000

11
00:00:53,520 --> 00:01:01,320
number X 8221 34-5 is look at that the manufacturing

12
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:05,560
date is like less Le than a month ago very cool all right so let's have a look

13
00:01:03,719 --> 00:01:09,680
at this here product and see if Microsoft includes anything else of note

14
00:01:07,759 --> 00:01:12,560
in the packaging so we do have a product guide with important safety and health

15
00:01:11,119 --> 00:01:17,159
information as well as a limited warranty in terms of warranty I wouldn't

16
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:21,400
worry too much oh okay keyboard in uh 3 years

17
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:26,040
neat okay and and the thing about Microsoft Hardware warranty is that it

18
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:32,640
is actually one of the best in the biz they are there are me very very very

19
00:01:29,119 --> 00:01:35,479
many testimonials out there on the inar

20
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:39,159
webs about how Microsoft takes care of their Hardware customers when something

21
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:42,920
goes wrong with a Microsoft keyboard mouse headset joystick whatever the case

22
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:48,640
may be so let's have a look at the layout overall I was actually one of the

23
00:01:45,399 --> 00:01:50,079
uh shoot what was that thing called I

24
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:55,000
think it was called the Microsoft natural keyboard that that old old one

25
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:58,200
that was made of like you know beige old computer colored plastic and it had the

26
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:03,640
split in the middle right so when you're using it you're like this click clickity

27
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:06,240
clickity everyone hated it when it first

28
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:10,200
came out um well everyone I knew I mean there are lots of people who swear by

29
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:13,760
those those those ergonomic style keyboards but I loved it I had one of

30
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:20,000
those original Microsoft ones that I used for years and this is more like an

31
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:23,680
in between so you don't have that split down the middle of the keyboard but you

32
00:02:21,959 --> 00:02:29,120
can see if you look at it in an angle it does have a bit of a curve so why did I

33
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:31,200
like it so much I liked it because this

34
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:35,640
when you're when you're in your Arms This shape I'm going to point them at

35
00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:38,800
you is a lot more natural than this in terms of your shoulders and the

36
00:02:36,879 --> 00:02:42,599
alignment of your arms so they put a slight curve to this keyboard so that

37
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:49,120
you're actually holding your hands in a more comfortable position while you type

38
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:51,879
while keeping the keys all together so you don't have that weird on natural

39
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:55,560
split because remember not everyone types correctly although using that

40
00:02:53,879 --> 00:02:59,080
keyboard was one of the ways that fixed my incorrect typing where I was reaching

41
00:02:57,599 --> 00:03:04,360
over to the other side of the keyboard whenever it was conven venient because the split didn't allow me to do it so

42
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:09,599
this guy right here just has a slight curve so it's an in between a flat

43
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,920
keyboard and a large ergonomic style

44
00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:14,159
keyboard that's what I where I was trying to go with that now in terms of

45
00:03:12,599 --> 00:03:18,000
the layout we've got a pretty standard layout Microsoft hasn't committed any

46
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:22,280
cardinal sins on this keyboard so you can see we have a fullsize tab very long

47
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:25,599
shift key in order to make sure that you can reach it like no matter what look

48
00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:29,599
how long that shift key is it's like the longest key on the keyboard than space

49
00:03:27,239 --> 00:03:32,200
bar okay we do have a fullsize backspace key

50
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:36,200
full size Enter key and another long shift key look at these shift Keys

51
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:40,799
they're like monstrosities okay we haven't moved around any of the critical

52
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:46,280
Keys we have nice large delete key home end page up page down are all in their

53
00:03:43,439 --> 00:03:50,599
correct locations the scroll lock insert and insert I like this one up here

54
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:53,319
because having the insert up here means that sometimes you can accidentally

55
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:58,840
press it when you meant backspace or you meant delete and then you end up typing over your stuff and it compounds a small

56
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:02,760
error and turns it into a much much larger error

57
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:06,159
uh We've also only got one Windows key so there's a Windows key here and then

58
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:10,720
the other one is a function key so using the function key we can access keys that

59
00:04:08,079 --> 00:04:14,879
we otherwise can't access like pause and it looks like that's

60
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:20,199
actually the only thing it does no it couldn't

61
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:22,479
be must be fascinating okay we do have a

62
00:04:20,199 --> 00:04:25,479
number pad layout a number lock and we have a couple media Keys as well so we

63
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:29,320
can access the calculator that's good for business we can also play pause

64
00:04:27,639 --> 00:04:32,960
reduce the volume and increase the volume of the music that we are

65
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:40,080
listening to in our office which is bothering the others next to

66
00:04:35,919 --> 00:04:41,360
us and that is pretty much all that I

67
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:45,800
have to say about it so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look

70

feature so it actually shows you see there's a little star on the control and

71
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:59,440
it shows you what all of these hot Keys actually do so you don't even have to

72
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:03,880
think about it at all look at that I didn't even know Windows d goes to the

73

desktop see look and Windows e goes to my PC I know most of these other ones

74
