00:00:07.359 --> 00:00:14.879
welcome to the Dos keyboard This is the

00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:17.520
ultimate s the Dos keyboard by metad do

00:00:14.879 --> 00:00:21.960
comes in four different configurations at least at the time of filming this

00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:23.800
video there is a clicky version and then

00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:26.439
a less clicky version so if you guys are familiar with mechanical keyboards you

00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:31.599
know what clicky is personally I'm a clicky guy not everyone is some people

00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:36.239
have you know sleeping nearby or annoy co-workers nearby and they even if they

00:00:33.760 --> 00:00:42.039
want a clicky keyboard they can't have one so there's that then they have the

00:00:39.239 --> 00:00:47.879
professional and the ultimate edition this one right here is the clicky

00:00:44.879 --> 00:00:50.719
Ultimate Edition keyboard and what makes

00:00:47.879 --> 00:00:54.320
it ultimate well you guys will find out shortly because there are quite a few

00:00:52.879 --> 00:00:59.280
things about this keyboard that I personally think make it ultimate um

00:00:57.480 --> 00:01:02.480
that are not necessarily the reason for the name so it comes with a little

00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:07.000
cleaning cloth that's not very ultimate don't worry about that uh it is fully

00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:11.159
compatible with Windows Mac and Linux in fact you can even buy little uh key set

00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:15.680
kits that will change your Windows Keys over to uh option keys if you want all

00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:19.840
right moving right along let's see what metad do has to say for themselves on

00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:23.240
the back of the key or on the back of the keyboard on the back of the box here

00:01:21.759 --> 00:01:27.360
mechanical key switches for maximum speed and comfort this is true in fact

00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:30.960
if you go to the Das Keyboard website they have a cool little typing test

00:01:28.960 --> 00:01:34.920
where you can compete and race with people in real time and people are on

00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:38.680
there all the time I actually wasted like 2 hours on it one night when I was

00:01:36.720 --> 00:01:42.560
like oh this is neat so it just automatically starts a new race and

00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:45.640
grabs whoever's like like on there and then you just race against each other

00:01:44.119 --> 00:01:50.479
and it records your average words per minute and all that cool stuff so um I

00:01:48.320 --> 00:01:53.600
tested that with a mechanical keyboard not one of these this is my first ass

00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:59.560
keyboard although I've played with them before um I was testing a mechanical

00:01:56.880 --> 00:02:05.719
keyboard versus a Logitech g15 so you know a good membrane keyboard and what I

00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:10.640
found for myself was I was about 15% faster with a mechanical keyboard my

00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:12.879
wife who has long pianist fingers was

00:02:10.640 --> 00:02:16.640
about 20% faster on her mechanical keyboard which is not even a great

00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:20.840
typing keyboard I'm not going to name any names but it was mechanical she

00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:25.640
found she was about 20% faster than she was on a membran keyboard so yes it is

00:02:23.160 --> 00:02:30.040
faster and it is more comfortable this is not open for debate uh uses the most

00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:33.280
advanced German engineered gold plate and slightly KCK clicky mechanical key

00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:36.760
switches available in the industry full End Key rollover means even if you type

00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:40.640
with your face you won't accidentally press anything and it will register

00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:45.280
every keystroke avoiding key jamming I think that was more of a problem on

00:02:42.480 --> 00:02:49.120
typewriters however it is still valid on keyboards because it can you can run

00:02:47.040 --> 00:02:52.680
into issues on poorly made and poorly designed keyboards with that great

00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:56.000
multi-purpose keyboard for fast typists and Gamers alike and just general

00:02:54.319 --> 00:03:00.360
elitists for this particular one and I'll explain why highspeed USB 2.0 Hub

00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:08.040
very cool extra long cable got it okay got all that got all that

00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:09.680
and that's what Daniel gr gr okay Daniel

00:03:08.040 --> 00:03:12.879
if you type 8 hours a day it might be as well be on the best available keyboard I

00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:19.159
initially created this UNC compromising keyboard for myself and now I'm excited

00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:19.159
to share it with you what makes it

00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:33.879
ultimate no way no key labels whatsoever so

00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:41.000
unless you are Elite typist you cannot use this keyboard

00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:43.200
that's right it has a built-in exclusion

00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:47.760
of people who aren't as good at typing as you are factor built right into it no

00:03:46.200 --> 00:03:54.959
one can sit down at your computer and use it unless they bring their own

00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:58.000
keyboard awesome all right so build

00:03:54.959 --> 00:04:00.040
quality yes most mechanical keyboards

00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:05.360
because they are intended to be be sold at a higher price are built just plain

00:04:03.079 --> 00:04:10.439
better than most membrane keyboards this has always been true no this is not a

00:04:07.799 --> 00:04:15.799
model M however this is pretty much as good as it's going to get today uh in

00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:19.440
terms of the layout okay so you can see we've got a pretty standard layout you

00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:23.960
got your Escape key your function keys you've got your TIY your numbers your

00:04:21.880 --> 00:04:28.520
backspace your enter your shift your other shift everything is correctly laid

00:04:26.080 --> 00:04:33.000
out there's your Windows keys and there are no sort of extra things thrown in

00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:37.280
you know short backspace short shift personally I find this to be the ideal

00:04:35.400 --> 00:04:42.360
keyboard layout you've got a couple keys that are slightly different from the other ones there's your dots for your

00:04:39.479 --> 00:04:46.680
home row so I mean you probably type without looking at your keyboard anyway

00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:50.520
if you're getting one of these um but you know that'll help you find your home

00:04:48.400 --> 00:04:54.160
row you've also got a dot in the middle on the five of the number pad so that

00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:58.880
you will also be able to find your home position on the number pad itself now

00:04:57.479 --> 00:05:02.240
why does it include a cleaning cloth because it does have a glossy surface so

00:05:00.880 --> 00:05:07.840
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

00:05:04.960 --> 00:05:10.280
a keycap remover and uh I will take off one of the caps and show you guys the

00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:14.400
mechanical switches so we removed one of the key

00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:18.039
caps actually one of the things I like about this keyboard versus one of the

00:05:15.960 --> 00:05:22.000
other mechanical keyboards that I have is that the keys are a little bit

00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:26.199
difficult to remove so uh uh one of the ones I have keys will actually pop off

00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:31.720
while you're typing sometimes yeah that's on the uh the one my wife uses

00:05:29.520 --> 00:05:36.039
sorry guys I'm just talking to Slick um so yeah that's sort of inconvenient in

00:05:33.440 --> 00:05:39.919
fact once I was cleaning her keyboard and I was like vacuuming it to get the

00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:44.560
dust out from in between the keys I vacuumed up a key which wouldn't even

00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:49.319
have been that bad if I'd been using like a portable vac but I was using a

00:05:46.919 --> 00:05:58.479
built-in V so I had to go all the way down to the garage pull the entire full

00:05:53.800 --> 00:06:02.120
Reservoir off of it and dig through like

00:05:58.479 --> 00:06:06.000
years of dead skin cell accumulation and

00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:08.960
dog hair to find the key so anyway long

00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:15.599
story short it's good that the keys stay on um moving right along right blue keys

00:06:12.919 --> 00:06:19.120
so I think it is fairly um optimistic of Dash keyboard to say that they're

00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:24.360
slightly clicky because blue Keys blue key switches are extremely clicky and

00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:28.759
they are my favorites because they feel

00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:31.960
so good to type on and uh here we go

00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:34.039
Blue key are oh oops okay whatever uh

00:06:31.960 --> 00:06:38.599
blue keys are generally the preferred key uh key switches of typists however

00:06:36.840 --> 00:06:42.479
there's no reason that Gamers wouldn't also enjoy them as well personally I

00:06:40.440 --> 00:06:46.919
don't find that the keycaps make much of a difference to the gaming experience

00:06:44.440 --> 00:06:50.400
whereas with typing it is night and day it's night and day going from membrane

00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:54.840
to Mechanical and then it's night and day going from any mechanical keyboard

00:06:53.039 --> 00:07:01.280
to the one that really suits your style the best so what makes them clicky is

00:06:57.599 --> 00:07:03.280
the fact that they are

00:07:01.280 --> 00:07:08.800
okay they like they reach a they reach a threshold Point here come getting really

00:07:05.080 --> 00:07:11.080
close so no noise here then you reach a

00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:14.800
threshold that is where the key actuates and then it has some more travel down to

00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:19.000
the base so you actually don't even have to fully depress them in order to type

00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:22.560
comfortably on it but if you want to you can bottom them out as well so if you

00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:28.479
have a neighbor who doesn't want to listen to you typing all the

00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:31.319
time this is not the keyboard for you but I say get it anyway because it's

00:07:30.039 --> 00:07:37.879
really comfortable and really awesome and you know who cares what they think anyway so thank you for checking out my

00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:41.800
unboxing of what I personally believe is like I said the ultimate elitist

00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:46.240
keyboard um the Dos keyboard ultimate don't

00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:51.960
forget to subscribe lus Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos and we've also got high

00:07:49.599 --> 00:07:56.319
quality rubber pieces on the bottom of the keyboard that will keep it from

00:07:54.240 --> 00:08:00.120
slipping and going anywhere should you decide to elevate a little bit or should

00:07:57.919 --> 00:08:03.879
you decide to not do that don't forget to subscribe to L

00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:08.479
techtips I forgot to mention guys it does come with a USB to PS2 adapter

00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:14.479
don't forget there are two USB plugs at the end one for the Hub one for the

00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:14.479
keyboard functionality itself
