welcome to the Dos keyboard This is the
ultimate s the Dos keyboard by metad do
comes in four different configurations at least at the time of filming this
video there is a clicky version and then
a less clicky version so if you guys are familiar with mechanical keyboards you
know what clicky is personally I'm a clicky guy not everyone is some people
have you know sleeping nearby or annoy co-workers nearby and they even if they
want a clicky keyboard they can't have one so there's that then they have the
professional and the ultimate edition this one right here is the clicky
Ultimate Edition keyboard and what makes
it ultimate well you guys will find out shortly because there are quite a few
things about this keyboard that I personally think make it ultimate um
that are not necessarily the reason for the name so it comes with a little
cleaning cloth that's not very ultimate don't worry about that uh it is fully
compatible with Windows Mac and Linux in fact you can even buy little uh key set
kits that will change your Windows Keys over to uh option keys if you want all
right moving right along let's see what metad do has to say for themselves on
the back of the key or on the back of the keyboard on the back of the box here
mechanical key switches for maximum speed and comfort this is true in fact
if you go to the Das Keyboard website they have a cool little typing test
where you can compete and race with people in real time and people are on
there all the time I actually wasted like 2 hours on it one night when I was
like oh this is neat so it just automatically starts a new race and
grabs whoever's like like on there and then you just race against each other
and it records your average words per minute and all that cool stuff so um I
tested that with a mechanical keyboard not one of these this is my first ass
keyboard although I've played with them before um I was testing a mechanical
keyboard versus a Logitech g15 so you know a good membrane keyboard and what I
found for myself was I was about 15% faster with a mechanical keyboard my
wife who has long pianist fingers was
about 20% faster on her mechanical keyboard which is not even a great
typing keyboard I'm not going to name any names but it was mechanical she
found she was about 20% faster than she was on a membran keyboard so yes it is
faster and it is more comfortable this is not open for debate uh uses the most
advanced German engineered gold plate and slightly KCK clicky mechanical key
switches available in the industry full End Key rollover means even if you type
with your face you won't accidentally press anything and it will register
every keystroke avoiding key jamming I think that was more of a problem on
typewriters however it is still valid on keyboards because it can you can run
into issues on poorly made and poorly designed keyboards with that great
multi-purpose keyboard for fast typists and Gamers alike and just general
elitists for this particular one and I'll explain why highspeed USB 2.0 Hub
very cool extra long cable got it okay got all that got all that
and that's what Daniel gr gr okay Daniel
if you type 8 hours a day it might be as well be on the best available keyboard I
initially created this UNC compromising keyboard for myself and now I'm excited
to share it with you what makes it
ultimate no way no key labels whatsoever so
unless you are Elite typist you cannot use this keyboard
that's right it has a built-in exclusion
of people who aren't as good at typing as you are factor built right into it no
one can sit down at your computer and use it unless they bring their own
keyboard awesome all right so build
quality yes most mechanical keyboards
because they are intended to be be sold at a higher price are built just plain
better than most membrane keyboards this has always been true no this is not a
model M however this is pretty much as good as it's going to get today uh in
terms of the layout okay so you can see we've got a pretty standard layout you
got your Escape key your function keys you've got your TIY your numbers your
backspace your enter your shift your other shift everything is correctly laid
out there's your Windows keys and there are no sort of extra things thrown in
you know short backspace short shift personally I find this to be the ideal
keyboard layout you've got a couple keys that are slightly different from the other ones there's your dots for your
home row so I mean you probably type without looking at your keyboard anyway
if you're getting one of these um but you know that'll help you find your home
row you've also got a dot in the middle on the five of the number pad so that
you will also be able to find your home position on the number pad itself now
why does it include a cleaning cloth because it does have a glossy surface so
not everyone's the biggest fan in the world of glossy but it does make it look quite nice you know what let me go find
a keycap remover and uh I will take off one of the caps and show you guys the
mechanical switches so we removed one of the key
caps actually one of the things I like about this keyboard versus one of the
other mechanical keyboards that I have is that the keys are a little bit
difficult to remove so uh uh one of the ones I have keys will actually pop off
while you're typing sometimes yeah that's on the uh the one my wife uses
sorry guys I'm just talking to Slick um so yeah that's sort of inconvenient in
fact once I was cleaning her keyboard and I was like vacuuming it to get the
dust out from in between the keys I vacuumed up a key which wouldn't even
have been that bad if I'd been using like a portable vac but I was using a
built-in V so I had to go all the way down to the garage pull the entire full
Reservoir off of it and dig through like
years of dead skin cell accumulation and
dog hair to find the key so anyway long
story short it's good that the keys stay on um moving right along right blue keys
so I think it is fairly um optimistic of Dash keyboard to say that they're
slightly clicky because blue Keys blue key switches are extremely clicky and
they are my favorites because they feel
so good to type on and uh here we go
Blue key are oh oops okay whatever uh
blue keys are generally the preferred key uh key switches of typists however
there's no reason that Gamers wouldn't also enjoy them as well personally I
don't find that the keycaps make much of a difference to the gaming experience
whereas with typing it is night and day it's night and day going from membrane
to Mechanical and then it's night and day going from any mechanical keyboard
to the one that really suits your style the best so what makes them clicky is
the fact that they are
okay they like they reach a they reach a threshold Point here come getting really
close so no noise here then you reach a
threshold that is where the key actuates and then it has some more travel down to
the base so you actually don't even have to fully depress them in order to type
comfortably on it but if you want to you can bottom them out as well so if you
have a neighbor who doesn't want to listen to you typing all the
time this is not the keyboard for you but I say get it anyway because it's
really comfortable and really awesome and you know who cares what they think anyway so thank you for checking out my
unboxing of what I personally believe is like I said the ultimate elitist
keyboard um the Dos keyboard ultimate don't
forget to subscribe lus Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos and we've also got high
quality rubber pieces on the bottom of the keyboard that will keep it from
slipping and going anywhere should you decide to elevate a little bit or should
you decide to not do that don't forget to subscribe to L
techtips I forgot to mention guys it does come with a USB to PS2 adapter
don't forget there are two USB plugs at the end one for the Hub one for the
keyboard functionality itself
