00:00:06.640 --> 00:00:13.440
with its Factory tuning and data center DNA an Intel 730 series SSD is an

00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:17.960
amazing choice for gamers and performance enthusiasts now I've looked

00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:22.400
at 10 keyless keyboards in the past but I'm a heavy number pad user so I've

00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:27.240
never really forced myself to use one for an extended period of time Cooler

00:00:24.560 --> 00:00:30.640
Master was all like okay well we're going to send you one but you have to

00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:34.840
actually use it so I said okay make sure it has brown switches on

00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:38.640
it and I'll consider it so they did so now I really have to try it now if you

00:00:36.800 --> 00:00:42.399
don't know what a 10 keyless keyboard is then prepare yourself for a shock

00:00:40.559 --> 00:00:47.920
because it's missing a lot more than 10 Keys versus a standard 104 key layout

00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:53.719
actually 17 keys because the number pad and all the other nearby keys are all

00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:58.879
not there the reason for this is that it's actually more ergonomic to have

00:00:56.239 --> 00:01:03.680
your mouse closer to the standard home row typing position than a standard

00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:08.159
keyboard allows the way most people end up compensating is either by typing too

00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:11.920
far to the left which causes strain or by moving their Mouse hand over too far

00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:16.320
to the right which also causes strain and this isn't marketing BS it's just

00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:20.240
fact the sacrifice that you make especially if like me you use your

00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:24.799
number pad a lot is that it's not there and especially at first I found myself

00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:28.159
reaching for that part of my keyboard a lot even little things like clicking on

00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:32.600
something and then trying to press the bottom right Enter key drove me bananas

00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:36.040
at the beginning so that's 10 keyless keyboards in general but I guess I

00:01:34.240 --> 00:01:41.159
should get into some specifics about the rapid ey from Cooler Master true to CM

00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:45.119
Storm's usual emmo it's a solidly built mechanical keyboard featuring cherrymx

00:01:42.880 --> 00:01:49.640
switches and a really pleasing matte black soft touch finish with laser edged

00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:54.719
Keys it's got a full backl in this case white with five levels of brightness

00:01:52.119 --> 00:01:59.880
which you can adjust just like that and a few cool lighting modes that Cooler

00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:02.960
Master is branding active light in

00:01:59.880 --> 00:02:05.320
including full illumination breathing

00:02:02.960 --> 00:02:09.840
two different types of reactive typing with or without a fade out and four

00:02:08.399 --> 00:02:14.959
different profiles that can be programmed and then recalled in just a

00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:18.599
few seconds so you can pick which Keys you want illuminated I made a little

00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:22.720
squiggly line across the keyboard it's got media controls that can be accessed

00:02:20.519 --> 00:02:26.200
with a function modifier and one more cool feature something I've only seen a

00:02:24.160 --> 00:02:31.480
couple of times is that it's also got repeat rate control this is less useful

00:02:29.040 --> 00:02:35.640
for typing since it effects how fast the key that you're holding down will repeat

00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:39.879
on the screen so things get out of control pretty fast 1 x is normal and

00:02:37.519 --> 00:02:45.120
looks like this well 2x looks like this 4X looks like this and 8x is just

00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:46.920
ridiculous but gaming is a different

00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:51.440
story and this will come in handy for commands that you want to execute

00:02:48.959 --> 00:02:55.360
repeatedly much faster than you can press the button repeatedly quick time

00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:59.640
events where you need to mash the button hauh Bring It On All right so back to

00:02:57.519 --> 00:03:04.480
the 10 keyless experience as a whole for a bit I did almost immediately notice

00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:09.519
the Improvement in my mouse and comfort for General computer use and for gaming

00:03:07.480 --> 00:03:12.560
even though for quite a while it weirded me out every time I took my hand off my

00:03:11.519 --> 00:03:16.959
mouse to press a key on the right side of the keyboard just be missing um at

00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:24.040
least that's not an issue for gaming when really the left side of the keyboard is the only part that's in use

00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:25.920
so overall after my trial period I'm not

00:03:24.040 --> 00:03:30.680
quite ready to make the switch I think I'd need to pick up a USB mechanical

00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:34.560
number pad to use on the right side of my mouse something a lot of 10 keyless

00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:39.000
users who use number pads do and try that out a little bit before I commit

00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:44.040
but what I will say is I definitely liked the improved ergonomics of not

00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:48.080
feeling like my posture is either too wide or shifted too far to the left and

00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:51.959
if I was shopping for a 10 kless today the rapid ey would have my attention

00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:57.360
since Cooler Master is using genuine Cherry MX switches on this model and the

00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:58.760
build quality overall is nice and solid
