at back here though we've got this","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":430.08,"end_s":435.68,"text":"probably either the keyboard's controller chip or the usb hub i can't","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":433.52,"end_s":439.199,"text":"quite make out but over here you can see that there's actually a little test","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":437.199,"end_s":442.8,"text":"point here and i guess presumably if you really wanted to you can","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":440.96,"end_s":447.68,"text":"either probe or yeah abr isp so that would basically","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":445.68,"end_s":451.84,"text":"let you unbrick it if you were to break the firmware here","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":449.44,"end_s":457.68,"text":"so that's pretty cool these little bumps here obviously if you","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":455.759,"end_s":462.639,"text":"look around the other side they match up with the actual keys themselves","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":460.0,"end_s":467.68,"text":"these are the hot swap sockets and i think the the reason why","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":465.039,"end_s":470.56,"text":"the leds are on the back here as well is because","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":468.8,"end_s":474.639,"text":"these hot swap sockets need a certain amount of clearance in order to actually","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":471.919,"end_s":479.199,"text":"work properly so that is a design consideration that they actually made um","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":477.199,"end_s":482.319,"text":"i saw somebody asked a question about that which is actually","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":480.879,"end_s":487.36,"text":"really cool like you can talk to their actual engineers on twitter it's pretty","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":484.24,"end_s":489.12,"text":"great can you tell that i like system 76","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":487.36,"end_s":494.56,"text":"so let's talk about the actual feel of the keyboard now from what i can feel","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":492.4,"end_s":497.68,"text":"well i mean they're they're jades they feel pretty good the keycaps themselves","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":496.479,"end_s":502.16,"text":"feel like they're pretty good as well i think they might be dye sub","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":500.0,"end_s":504.96,"text":"so yeah it's just fine you can replace them later if you want","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":505.36,"end_s":510.639,"text":"uh the split space i think for me anyway would take a little bit of getting used","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":509.36,"end_s":515.919,"text":"to but one thing that it does do is it gives you a","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":513.279,"end_s":519.519,"text":"much more stable space bar than a traditional long format space bar would","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":518.08,"end_s":522.56,"text":"be so you can actually map one of these to","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":521.279,"end_s":526.0,"text":"something completely different if you'd like","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":524.64,"end_s":530.16,"text":"yeah this one is backspace this is forward space","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":528.48,"end_s":535.36,"text":"i think i would actually prefer it with the 15 degrees of incline","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":533.36,"end_s":538.8,"text":"that this provides yeah that's that's a little more natural","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":536.72,"end_s":543.12,"text":"for me anyway but yeah i actually quite like it it's compact without being like","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":541.04,"end_s":547.2,"text":"too compact you're not missing a whole lot of keys you've got your page","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":545.04,"end_s":550.72,"text":"up and page down you've got home and end you have delete and backspace here you","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":548.959,"end_s":555.44,"text":"have all the f keys interestingly there's no um","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":553.519,"end_s":558.88,"text":"what is it called properties key you know the thing that gives you like uh","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":556.959,"end_s":561.68,"text":"like a context menu like right clicking but it's something you can put back in","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":560.24,"end_s":566.24,"text":"because it's a it's completely customizable in fact this actually is","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":564.16,"end_s":569.36,"text":"qmk compatible as well so if you're used to that","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":568.16,"end_s":574.0,"text":"there you go i think the only thing left to do is to like plug it in and see what it's","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":572.24,"end_s":580.48,"text":"actually like eh yeah let's do it","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":577.279,"end_s":582.48,"text":"so if i want to do something with uh","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":580.48,"end_s":585.6,"text":"this here spacebar let's say i want to want that space to","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":584.32,"end_s":590.56,"text":"be backspace let's see what happens here um","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":588.64,"end_s":595.36,"text":"backspace okay testing backspace","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":592.88,"end_s":597.44,"text":"oh yeah yeah i i","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":597.44,"end_s":602.8,"text":"i went to hit spacebar with my left hand or my right hand","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":601.2,"end_s":606.079,"text":"and it deleted the g that's","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":605.04,"end_s":609.44,"text":"it worked that's it doesn't even need you to like","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":608.079,"end_s":614.48,"text":"hit apply or anything it just it just does it if i wanted uh","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":612.079,"end_s":619.519,"text":"the alt key to be where the super key is i can just do that left alt and this can","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":617.36,"end_s":626.88,"text":"now be left super this can be function okay so that's","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":623.2,"end_s":629.519,"text":"that's now alt so if i wanted to replace","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":626.88,"end_s":634.72,"text":"those keys so that's now alt that's now function","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":632.64,"end_s":637.76,"text":"and that is now super that might take a little bit of getting used to but you","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":636.56,"end_s":642.56,"text":"know depending on who you are that may not be a problem but yeah you can rearrange this

it","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":644.16,"end_s":651.92,"text":"uh what they have for patterns as far as the RGB goes right now it's

like it's just a moving rainbow bound keys only oh so this just lights","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":657.6,"end_s":663.279,"text":"up all the keys in your in the current layer that are actually used for","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":661.279,"end_s":666.959,"text":"anything so if i were to hit function a lot of these keys will

does it sound like i don't know some kind of philosophy or could it maybe be something a little bit more this is system 76's latest product it's called the launch configurable keyboard and as it its name suggests it is a configurable keyboard i'm not sure where the launch name comes from probably because of the uh galaxy theming here so there's not a whole lot going on on the packaging for what is a very very exciting product so let's pull this out there we go nice oh wow oh it's actually really fancy on the inside ready for launch welcome to the launch keyboard crew we're happy to have you on board the configurator will allow you to adjust your flight path to your liking at any point along your journey unlike they're so nerdy make a difference at warp speeds and most importantly have fun ah that's that's really that's really cute just grab it and oh oh that's that is substantial it's a lot heavier than i thought it would be i mean obviously it's got a all metal chassis get back to that in a second let's dig through the rest of the box uh we've got a nice braided usb type c cable here very nice actually type c to a so this is a 3.0 cable this is a nice braided c to c cable and we've got a bunch of replacement keys so we can set uh we can get different size escape keys is that right so this is the escape key here use the key puller here so if i pull off this escape key here okay yeah so these are jade switches so they're they're clicky so how does this larger escape key work presumably this would go like somewhere else you can remap this keyboard to basically do whatever you want so you can re you can type in like you put in like a b c d e f g and like set it up in the configurator so that it actually works alphabetically it actually matches your layout so i guess that's what these are for i don't know maybe if you replace tab maybe tab or caps lock who needs caps lock let's just do that we have different color escape keys that we can use so i can use another blue one over here i really want it oh well put the tilde key back in so that's that um one other thing that i can do is i should be able to just pull these key switches off there we go so if you have your own key switches then you can replace these jades with whatever you want basically as long as it's this uh cherry style mount with the two pins here it's something you're seeing a lot more these days uh it's basically the perfect way to customize your keyboard like you can have a mix of different keys like you can have caps lock feel like something different there's also this little uh like a stand almost and that just attaches magnetically oh that's cool and it raises up your keyboard for you which i i love how smooth that looks like i'm not sure if you can see that there's basically no seam they've precision crafted this like it is it is awe-inspiring i mean maybe maybe that's being a little bit too glowing but like it's not this is a level of detail you don't often see the point of the keyboard is you can do whatever you want with it so you can remap all the keys like you can rearrange all the keys remap them to whatever you want you can make it so that this function gives you another layer so you can have like macros or whatever uh you could have multiple layers like that and uh it just passes through different keystrokes for each of these functions probably the most configurable keyboard you can get would be the one that you build yourself but probably one of the more customizable ones you can buy so you plug plug this guy in like so you also get an integrated usb hub so you have two more type c's as well as two type a's just kind of chilling i can weigh it taking a lot of direction from jono today that means i'm not doing a very good job i'm just trying to let me help you this is uh this is pretty hefty here 867 grams 1.9 pounds so it is basically a weapon and when you add this how much is this 0.182 pounds which would make it i think a full kilogram didn't it almost 950 grams that's um that's pretty heavy yeah there's no such thing as deck flex on this board though like if you try hard enough you're just gonna bust it but one thing i am noticing on the back here there's no such thing as like a security screw all of these are phillips screws and they're like kind of inviting do you have a screwdriver while jono gets a screwdriver let's talk

free trial and get 25 off your membership neat these are these screws so in order to not strip out or even mark the uh aluminum enclosure they use these little plastic cups almost so you drop the screw into that and it just screws down into it i don't know if you can see that but it is ridiculously thoughtful it's almost like they want you to take this thing apart this is open source hardware you can build this on your own if you want probably not you 3d printed why not actually there are cnc uh like websites kind of like 3d printing sites now so you can actually get custom cnc done all right let's see what happens when we drop this panel off there's not a whole lot on the inside this is part of how they got that structural rigidity this is thick what we're looking at back here though we've got this probably either the keyboard's controller chip or the usb hub i can't quite make out but over here you can see that there's actually a little test point here and i guess presumably if you really wanted to you can either probe or yeah abr isp so that would basically let you unbrick it if you were to break the firmware here so that's pretty cool these little bumps here obviously if you look around the other side they match up with the actual keys themselves these are the hot swap sockets and i think the the reason why the leds are on the back here as well is because these hot swap sockets need a certain amount of clearance in order to actually work properly so that is a design consideration that they actually made um i saw somebody asked a question about that which is actually really cool like you can talk to their actual engineers on twitter it's pretty great can you tell that i like system 76 so let's talk about the actual feel of the keyboard now from what i can feel well i mean they're they're jades they feel pretty good the keycaps themselves feel like they're pretty good as well i think they might be dye sub so yeah it's just fine you can replace them later if you want uh the split space i think for me anyway would take a little bit of getting used to but one thing that it does do is it gives you a much more stable space bar than a traditional long format space bar would be so you can actually map one of these to something completely different if you'd like yeah this one is backspace this is forward space i think i would actually prefer it with the 15 degrees of incline that this provides yeah that's that's a little more natural for me anyway but yeah i actually quite like it it's compact without being like too compact you're not missing a whole lot of keys you've got your page up and page down you've got home and end you have delete and backspace here you have all the f keys interestingly there's no um what is it called properties key you know the thing that gives you like uh like a context menu like right clicking but it's something you can put back in because it's a it's completely customizable in fact this actually is qmk compatible as well so if you're used to that there you go i think the only thing left to do is to like plug it in and see what it's actually like eh yeah let's do it so if i want to do something with uh this here spacebar let's say i want to want that space to be backspace let's see what happens here um backspace okay testing backspace oh yeah yeah i i i went to hit spacebar with my left hand or my right hand and it deleted the g that's it worked that's it doesn't even need you to like hit apply or anything it just it just does it if i wanted uh the alt key to be where the super key is i can just do that left alt and this can now be left super this can be function okay so that's that's now alt so if i wanted to replace those keys so that's now alt that's now function and that is now super that might take a little bit of getting used to but you know depending on who you are that may not be a problem but yeah you can rearrange this layout to your heart's content you can do whatever you want with it uh what they have for patterns as far as the RGB goes right now it's on 100 brightness it's on space-time right now looks like it's just a moving rainbow bound keys only oh so this just lights up all the keys in your in the current layer that are actually used for anything so if i were to hit function a lot of these keys will blank out because they have no functions but they have these keys over here do have functions splash down so that's like your lighting propagation thing like you press a key and it just like propagates out it's the only thing that's really left to talk about is the price so it starts at 285 dollars i don't know what your problem is jono mechanical keyboards is a expensive hobby it sounds like a lot of money which is because it is but the thing is you're getting a really well engineered keyboard that is completely open completely customizable works on Linux macOS and Windows you can basically do whatever you want with it i do not think this is a bad price for what you're getting considering what the options are it's exorbitant and i wouldn't personally spend that much money on a keyboard but this thing feels pretty indestructible and it is very configurable screw you jonno it's a lot of money but i i can't not recommend it for somebody who's looking for a custom mechanical keyboard for everybody else it's a bad deal okay just so we're clear you can get like a 80 keyboard like a red dragon or a g skill or something like that and be perfectly happy but if you are a keyboard nerd you um you would do well to look at this and you'd do well to like and subscribe and check out more ShortCircuit videos in the future screw you jenna maybe maybe i could kill someone with this"}
