1
00:00:07,359 --> 00:00:14,639
it's like I kind of eel sorry diesel was telling me about

2
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:18,920
moare because he's lamenting my wearing of Stripes but stripes are not the point

3
00:00:17,240 --> 00:00:24,480
of the video today the point of the video today is the Razer Black Widow

4
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:26,960
ultimate 2013 this is a Cherry MX Blue

5
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:32,559
fully mechanical keyboard with evidently improved anti- ghosting and backlighting

6
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:37,200
so it's got a full green backlight it has 10 key rollover which a lot of

7
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:43,399
people talk about you know how many keys of rollover does a keyboard have okay I

8
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:47,079
mean I know n key rollover is cool however I would go as far as to say that

9
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:51,320
unless you're playing two player games at your keyboard with two people I mean

10
00:00:49,239 --> 00:00:55,440
have you ever done that slick he says he's done that but okay I would say that

11
00:00:53,039 --> 00:00:58,640
that's not that common um unless you're playing two player games at your

12
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:03,719
keyboard with two people with both hands on the keyboard probably you can only

13
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:07,159
press 10 keys at a time so they have 10 key roll over which means at the very

14
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:12,119
least although you can't type with your face you can type with both hands

15
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:17,799
completely at the same time so there you go individually back lit keys and they

16
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:21,520
look quite bright in Razor's photographs and all that so we're going to make sure

17
00:01:19,119 --> 00:01:26,880
we test that oh I love this okay I've seen this before and I can tell you

18
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:29,079
right now that it makes a huge huge

19
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:33,119
difference to the brightness the intensity of the back light when they do

20
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:39,040
this you see that green back plate behind the keyboard number one is that

21
00:01:36,079 --> 00:01:42,479
should improve the uh how solid it feels does feel quite well constructed

22
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:46,159
actually let's do the old Flex test so here I'm actually putting pretty much as

23
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:50,640
much force as I can on it to get it to flex very well constructed so you can

24
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:55,600
see that right can you see like it's not bending much so that's good um and then

25
00:01:53,280 --> 00:02:00,439
what it also does is it gives the green LEDs behind each key something to

26
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:04,759
reflect off of which makes the lights much brighter and more vibrant it looks

27
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:10,200
really really good so i' I've seen this before on the uh quickfire TK from

28
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:14,840
Cooler Master so let's Okay that's just packaging again razor so good at

29
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:22,920
packaging all the insides all matte black and coup all right so oh

30
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:25,680
okay let's just slice that open there we

31
00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:29,200
go so braided cord you can go ahead and check that out wow really good uh really

32
00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:34,080
good non-slip pads on the bottom of the keyboard it's not going anywhere once you put it down I had a hard time moving

33
00:02:32,599 --> 00:02:39,080
it just now so I'll show you guys that in a minute you've also got audio passrs

34
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:43,680
as well as what appears to be a USB pass through yep so that's for the keyboard

35
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:47,239
itself it's labeled Port okay then you've got your microphone and

36
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:49,560
headphones which plug in probably on the side I would think yep there you go

37
00:02:48,519 --> 00:02:54,519
there's your pass through which is positioned correctly for you know I'd love to see someone come out with a

38
00:02:52,879 --> 00:02:58,480
mouse that has a short chord like an apple length chord and that is designed

39
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,599
to be plugged into a keyboard cuz so many gaming keyboards have these port on

40
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:05,560
them but then you got a mouse that has an 8T long cord on it cuz it's designed

41
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:10,920
to go down to your PC Razer if you're watching this video I want a short Mouse

42
00:03:07,599 --> 00:03:14,000
cord okay so uh there we go headphone

43
00:03:10,920 --> 00:03:17,440
microphone Port uh wrist rest

44
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,360
symmetrical even I'd say it's not quite

45
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:23,120
long enough for me personally but if you don't rest your wrists on the keyboard

46
00:03:21,239 --> 00:03:26,840
which you shouldn't which is bad for you then I guess it's going to be just fine

47
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:29,840
you can hear that sound of the Cherry MX Blues

48
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:38,400
so these keyboards are not for people who are looking for silence um or

49
00:03:36,439 --> 00:03:43,200
households that are looking for silence if you want that then you're going to

50
00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:45,280
want blacks or Browns uh Blues are quite

51
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:48,959
quite loud but they have a really great feel for typing and I get a lot of

52
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:53,680
people asking me this they kind of go oh well lonus you know I uh I you know

53
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:56,879
which keys are best for for typing and which ones are best for gaming now the

54
00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:00,760
argument could be made that Keys like blacks or Browns are better for gaming

55
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:05,560
because they don't have that that click that discernable tactile feel

56
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:09,360
as you're pushing it down personally I like that for gaming I like gaming on a

57
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:13,120
very tactile keyboard these particular Keys have 50 gr of actuation force so

58
00:04:11,799 --> 00:04:17,199
you can compare that to other keyboards figure out if you like a heavier key or

59
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:22,240
a lighter key but I like knowing when I've pushed it down and because they're

60
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:24,080
designed to instantly respond back up I

61
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:27,560
don't find that the that the that the tactile catch actually makes that much

62
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:31,479
of a difference for me on the bottom like I said we've got extremely good

63
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:34,479
grip GPS here and these I love this design of these as well you see how

64
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:39,400
there's a rubber grip on this side and it goes all the way around to the other side it's a rubber cap which means that

65
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:43,479
no matter how this keyboard is sitting on the table so you can angle it up

66
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:48,080
about like that oops I knocked it down there you go it's not going to move

67
00:04:45,479 --> 00:04:52,199
anywhere no matter what you do so really really good stuff programmable Keys

68
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:56,080
which you can record on the fly so on the Fly macro recording is included

69
00:04:54,120 --> 00:05:02,680
we've got also function keys here so you can use function mute volume down volume

70
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:04,479
up a u media controls macros game mode

71
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:08,800
which will turn your Windows key off uh LEDs down LEDs up no LED zones on this

72
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:13,039
one the whole keyboard lights up personally I've never used an LED Zone

73
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:17,039
in my life as well as a sleep button let's just see if I've missed anything

74
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:23,000
while we go find a computer to plug this bad boy into so fully programmable Keys

75
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:24,560
plus five additional oh oh no oh yeah

76
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,440
Diesel's not really sure what to do so hold on let us figure this

77
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:35,080
out so we found a computer plugged it in this is

78
00:05:32,759 --> 00:05:42,759
the coolest thing like ever uh check this out so

79
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:47,160
function 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

80
00:05:42,759 --> 00:05:49,960
is it gone yet 17 18 19 it has like it

81
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:53,800
has like between 15 and 20 or whatever it is or at least 10 different

82
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:58,639
brightnesses you can hold it down and go all the way bright all the way dark but

83
00:05:56,039 --> 00:06:02,720
it is extremely customizable in terms of how bright you want want the black widow

84
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,919
ultimate 2013 to be here we're going to go ahead and turn it back on I just want

85
00:06:03,759 --> 00:06:09,840
to show you all the different backlit parts of the keyboard so all the keys are back lit all the little razor logo

86
00:06:08,759 --> 00:06:15,880
at the bottom is backlit and it should be noted this is the only glossy part of this keyboard everything else is a

87
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:19,680
gorgeous matte black that won't show fingerprints or Cheeto stains or

88
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:23,000
whatever else is a problem for you at your particular keyboard check this out

89
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:27,479
so there's your macro record there's your game mode even these lights up here

90
00:06:25,919 --> 00:06:31,639
are completely matte so there's your number lock see check that out so cool

91
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:37,240
you can't even see it's there until you go ahead and press it so I want to turn the lights off for a minute here and

92
00:06:34,479 --> 00:06:43,039
show you guys what it looks like when things get all romantic in the tech tip

93
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:44,800
Studio extremely bright backlight which

94
00:06:43,039 --> 00:06:49,919
you know again razor understands not everyone will necessarily like so you

95
00:06:47,039 --> 00:06:54,319
can turn that bad boy down you know to like a just sort of a light glow or you

96
00:06:52,199 --> 00:07:01,360
can turn it all the way down so oh now we can find out how many levels it is 1

97
00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:07,160
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

98
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:10,199
14 15 16 1 looks like about 15 so oh

99
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:12,840
yeah right fully programmable Keys plus

100
00:07:10,199 --> 00:07:16,639
gaming Keys now not everyone's going to agree with having only five gaming Keys

101
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:20,240
personally I like it because whenever you ever have a huge like block of keys

102
00:07:18,599 --> 00:07:23,360
over here there's no way you're using all of them anyway you can only use a

103
00:07:22,039 --> 00:07:28,560
few I wouldn't have minded having a few profiles for them though so you could have different different sets of them

104
00:07:26,599 --> 00:07:32,639
but remember the synapse 2.0 software has a lot of customization that you can

105
00:07:30,199 --> 00:07:36,199
do on a per application basis as well so I guess razor assuming you're going to

106
00:07:34,479 --> 00:07:39,120
use their their software in order to configure your keyboard so that's

107
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:44,280
probably a pretty safe assumption so I guess I take it back but the rest of the keys are fully programmable no cardinal

108
00:07:42,599 --> 00:07:48,879
sins have been committed in terms of the overall layout long shifts long

109
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:52,599
backspace uh correctly positioned controls all that good stuff thank you
