00:00:07.359 --> 00:00:14.639
it's like I kind of eel sorry diesel was telling me about

00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:18.920
moare because he's lamenting my wearing of Stripes but stripes are not the point

00:00:17.240 --> 00:00:24.480
of the video today the point of the video today is the Razer Black Widow

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:26.960
ultimate 2013 this is a Cherry MX Blue

00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:32.559
fully mechanical keyboard with evidently improved anti- ghosting and backlighting

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

00:00:35.360 --> 00:00:43.399
people talk about you know how many keys of rollover does a keyboard have okay I

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

00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:51.320
unless you're playing two player games at your keyboard with two people I mean

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

00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:58.640
that's not that common um unless you're playing two player games at your

00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:03.719
keyboard with two people with both hands on the keyboard probably you can only

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

00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:12.119
least although you can't type with your face you can type with both hands

00:01:09.240 --> 00:01:17.799
completely at the same time so there you go individually back lit keys and they

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

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

00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:29.079
right now that it makes a huge huge

00:01:26.880 --> 00:01:33.119
difference to the brightness the intensity of the back light when they do

00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:39.040
this you see that green back plate behind the keyboard number one is that

00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:42.479
should improve the uh how solid it feels does feel quite well constructed

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

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

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

00:01:53.280 --> 00:02:00.439
what it also does is it gives the green LEDs behind each key something to

00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:04.759
reflect off of which makes the lights much brighter and more vibrant it looks

00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:10.200
really really good so i' I've seen this before on the uh quickfire TK from

00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:14.840
Cooler Master so let's Okay that's just packaging again razor so good at

00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:22.920
packaging all the insides all matte black and coup all right so oh

00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:25.680
okay let's just slice that open there we

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

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

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

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

00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:47.239
itself it's labeled Port okay then you've got your microphone and

00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:49.560
headphones which plug in probably on the side I would think yep there you go

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

00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:58.480
mouse that has a short chord like an apple length chord and that is designed

00:02:57.200 --> 00:03:01.599
to be plugged into a keyboard cuz so many gaming keyboards have these port on

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

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

00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:14.000
cord okay so uh there we go headphone

00:03:10.920 --> 00:03:17.440
microphone Port uh wrist rest

00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:19.360
symmetrical even I'd say it's not quite

00:03:17.440 --> 00:03:23.120
long enough for me personally but if you don't rest your wrists on the keyboard

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

00:03:25.040 --> 00:03:29.840
you can hear that sound of the Cherry MX Blues

00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:38.400
so these keyboards are not for people who are looking for silence um or

00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:43.200
households that are looking for silence if you want that then you're going to

00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:45.280
want blacks or Browns uh Blues are quite

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

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

00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:56.879
which keys are best for for typing and which ones are best for gaming now the

00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:00.760
argument could be made that Keys like blacks or Browns are better for gaming

00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:05.560
because they don't have that that click that discernable tactile feel

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

00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:13.120
very tactile keyboard these particular Keys have 50 gr of actuation force so

00:04:11.799 --> 00:04:17.199
you can compare that to other keyboards figure out if you like a heavier key or

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

00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:24.080
designed to instantly respond back up I

00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:27.560
don't find that the that the that the tactile catch actually makes that much

00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:31.479
of a difference for me on the bottom like I said we've got extremely good

00:04:29.440 --> 00:04:34.479
grip GPS here and these I love this design of these as well you see how

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

00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:43.479
no matter how this keyboard is sitting on the table so you can angle it up

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

00:04:45.479 --> 00:04:52.199
anywhere no matter what you do so really really good stuff programmable Keys

00:04:50.440 --> 00:04:56.080
which you can record on the fly so on the Fly macro recording is included

00:04:54.120 --> 00:05:02.680
we've got also function keys here so you can use function mute volume down volume

00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:04.479
up a u media controls macros game mode

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

00:05:07.520 --> 00:05:13.039
one the whole keyboard lights up personally I've never used an LED Zone

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

00:05:14.520 --> 00:05:23.000
while we go find a computer to plug this bad boy into so fully programmable Keys

00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:24.560
plus five additional oh oh no oh yeah

00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:27.440
Diesel's not really sure what to do so hold on let us figure this

00:05:28.080 --> 00:05:35.080
out so we found a computer plugged it in this is

00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:42.759
the coolest thing like ever uh check this out so

00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:47.160
function 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:49.960
is it gone yet 17 18 19 it has like it

00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:53.800
has like between 15 and 20 or whatever it is or at least 10 different

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

00:05:56.039 --> 00:06:02.720
it is extremely customizable in terms of how bright you want want the black widow

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

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

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

00:06:13.880 --> 00:06:19.680
gorgeous matte black that won't show fingerprints or Cheeto stains or

00:06:17.840 --> 00:06:23.000
whatever else is a problem for you at your particular keyboard check this out

00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:27.479
so there's your macro record there's your game mode even these lights up here

00:06:25.919 --> 00:06:31.639
are completely matte so there's your number lock see check that out so cool

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

00:06:34.479 --> 00:06:43.039
show you guys what it looks like when things get all romantic in the tech tip

00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:44.800
Studio extremely bright backlight which

00:06:43.039 --> 00:06:49.919
you know again razor understands not everyone will necessarily like so you

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

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

00:06:56.120 --> 00:07:07.160
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:10.199
14 15 16 1 looks like about 15 so oh

00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:12.840
yeah right fully programmable Keys plus

00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:16.639
gaming Keys now not everyone's going to agree with having only five gaming Keys

00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:20.240
personally I like it because whenever you ever have a huge like block of keys

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

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

00:07:26.599 --> 00:07:32.639
but remember the synapse 2.0 software has a lot of customization that you can

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

00:07:34.479 --> 00:07:39.120
use their their software in order to configure your keyboard so that's

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

00:07:42.599 --> 00:07:48.879
sins have been committed in terms of the overall layout long shifts long

00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:52.599
backspace uh correctly positioned controls all that good stuff thank you
