WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:08.400 wireless mouse technology has gotten crazy good lately with even professional 00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:13.200 gamers cutting the cord in tournament play with thousands tens of thousands or 00:00:11.360 --> 00:00:18.080 even hundreds of thousands of dollars on the line but what about mechanical 00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:23.439 keyboards both mechanical keyboards and wireless keyboards have existed since 00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:26.000 before i was born so where the he double 00:00:23.439 --> 00:00:32.960 hockey sticks are all the wireless mechanical boards well 00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:35.760 i'm glad you asked meet the g613 00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:40.079 it's tournament grade mechanical wireless and it lasts for months on a 00:00:38.559 --> 00:00:43.360 single charge game on 00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:46.640 and on and on 00:00:45.120 --> 00:00:50.719 and on and on 00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:55.199 and on and on 00:00:53.039 --> 00:01:00.320 and on i'm carrying too many phones right now hp's new omen x line up comes 00:00:58.239 --> 00:01:04.720 equipped with Intel's seventh generation core i7 processor check it out at the 00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:09.280 link in the video description even though it's part of their 00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:12.920 gamer g series i think the best way to describe the design of logitech's g613 00:01:12.240 --> 00:01:18.320 is utilitarian it's got pretty much 00:01:15.360 --> 00:01:23.040 everything you need and very little that you don't it rocks an understated 00:01:20.720 --> 00:01:26.240 two-tone gray finish with an integrated wrist rest which is nice because you 00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:29.920 don't want that thing flopping around when you're on the go it's got six 00:01:28.080 --> 00:01:34.640 programmable macro keys and then a handful of basic media keys 00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:38.720 being wireless it also has an on off switch and these two buttons that let 00:01:36.880 --> 00:01:43.200 you switch between the logitech lightspeed receiver unit plugged into 00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:47.680 your computer and a supported nearby bluetooth device like your phone car 00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:53.680 tv you get the point bluetooth is a fairly ubiquitous standard and that's a nice 00:01:51.119 --> 00:01:59.759 thing to have let's talk typing logitech is using the same omron co-developed 00:01:56.240 --> 00:02:02.719 roamer g-switches as the g910 but this 00:01:59.759 --> 00:02:07.840 time without the weird-shaped keycaps RGB lighting and the phone dock so it 00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:12.319 shouldn't be a surprise then that while the high tactile bump is a bit of an 00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:16.879 acquired taste typing on it is actually a reasonably pleasant experience no 00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:22.319 complaints there at all as for gaming logitech claims that thanks to the 2.4 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:27.200 gigahertz light speed connection same as on the g703 mouse which you can check 00:02:24.239 --> 00:02:32.239 out here the short actuation distance of the romer g switches and the fast 00:02:29.920 --> 00:02:37.519 on-board processing that the keyboard is over five times faster than razer's 00:02:34.640 --> 00:02:42.000 wired black widow v2 and ed's opinion after gaming on it is it's 00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:47.599 fine just fine so considering what a regular wired mechanical keyboard cost a 00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:50.319 few years ago not too bad for 150 bucks 00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:56.560 that's progress but that leads us back to our original question how has it 00:02:52.959 --> 00:02:58.560 taken until 20 freaking 17 for a major 00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:03.120 brand to release a wireless mechanical keyboard okay 00:03:00.480 --> 00:03:08.000 so maybe it was a demand issue until the last few years mechanical 00:03:05.519 --> 00:03:12.879 keyboards were a super niche item and even today most lay persons 00:03:10.720 --> 00:03:16.640 don't know what they are so who would have been out there looking for a 00:03:14.239 --> 00:03:22.400 keyboard that's both mechanical and wireless maybe it was cost the people 00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:25.840 looking for those features also had to be willing to pay for them and 00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:30.720 considering that a cheap wireless keyboard can cost three times as much as 00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:34.799 a cheap wired one the fact that a basic mechanical keyboard is still a hundred 00:03:32.799 --> 00:03:39.840 bucks makes that potentially pretty scary math no 00:03:37.200 --> 00:03:43.840 no actually i reject that we don't think it was demand or cost keeping wireless 00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:48.720 mechanical keyboards from hitting the mainstream clearly if there are people 00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:53.360 out there buying 200 individually handcrafted keycaps 00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:57.280 some of them would be willing to spend a few bucks for a completely wireless desk 00:03:55.920 --> 00:04:02.480 setup we think it was more to do with the 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:08.080 limited benefit of wireless for keyboards i mean they just sit there 00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:12.480 and the compromises that were imposed especially by older wireless 00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:17.759 technologies but hold on a second Linus i mean the 2.4 gigahertz or bluetooth 00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:23.120 wireless devices i have have basically no noticeable latency aren't those good 00:04:20.320 --> 00:04:28.479 enough while i see your point basically isn't good enough the people 00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:33.360 who buy mechanical keyboards are enthusiasts they care about registering 00:04:31.280 --> 00:04:38.160 a keystroke a fraction of a second earlier than their opponents and they're 00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:43.919 not about to sacrifice those key benefits just to cut a cord that's 00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:48.560 usually out of the way anyway i mean who exactly is it out there that 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:52.320 wants to charge a heavy ass keyboard all the time for the privilege of being able 00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:58.000 to pick it up and go sit on the couch to use it so that's what's changed here 00:04:55.199 --> 00:05:02.560 better than wired latency with up to 18 months of life on two regular double a 00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:07.199 batteries there's even a pair included in the box and while logitech's been 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:12.800 super tight-lipped about exactly how their lightspeed link actually works 00:05:09.840 --> 00:05:17.840 what we do know is that it's strong high decibel signal one millisecond report 00:05:15.280 --> 00:05:24.560 rate and supremely power efficient design is what enables this products 00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:26.320 no compromises performance and endurance 00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:30.400 with that said no compromises is in the eye of the 00:05:28.400 --> 00:05:35.360 beholder and while the cordless simplicity of the g613 00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:40.560 will appeal to some consumers many enthusiasts will be unwilling to 00:05:37.840 --> 00:05:44.720 give up creature comforts like auxiliary screens pass-through usb ports built-in 00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:50.560 audio backlit keys and let's face it that 00:05:47.520 --> 00:05:52.800 sweet RGB nectar all things that they 00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:57.600 could have at this price if they were willing to plug in a cord not to mention 00:05:55.360 --> 00:06:03.520 that they'd probably get better keycaps too to say i was disappointed that the 00:06:00.400 --> 00:06:06.240 legend on a 150 dollar keyboard uses 00:06:03.520 --> 00:06:09.759 cheapo stickers would be a gross understatement but come on Linus they 00:06:08.400 --> 00:06:14.720 gotta keep the cost of this revolutionary new product down somehow 00:06:11.840 --> 00:06:19.520 right right no i mean to be clear by and large i like 00:06:17.840 --> 00:06:23.759 the product and i think a lot of people are gonna buy it but logitech 00:06:21.840 --> 00:06:28.800 at risk of sounding like a broken record here you guys need to stop screwing up 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:35.919 the keycaps on your romer g
