1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,480
when it comes to keyboards I'm a huge sucker for a cool gimmick and so when EO

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:12,320
maker offered to sponsor this video to check out their new dino Tab 75x and

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:13,960
more I couldn't say no cuz it's got this

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:20,279
cool optional smart screen that's built in 75% triple mode gasket mounted

5
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:24,880
mechanical keyboard really cool three pin and five pin switches hot swappable

6
00:00:23,119 --> 00:00:28,119
upgraded foam kits I can tell you right now there's actually quite a lot of foam

7
00:00:26,599 --> 00:00:32,439
in here one of the things I'm not exactly sure of is their new high five

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:37,160
foam sheet I don't know how much better that actually makes any sounds or audio

9
00:00:34,559 --> 00:00:42,719
but uh I guess we'll find out but if you can see here what you should be able to

10
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,719
is there's several cameras pointed at

11
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:49,239
me it's got a cool screen on it and there's

12
00:00:46,559 --> 00:00:52,960
540 LEDs that you can program yourself to display whatever you want on that

13
00:00:50,879 --> 00:00:56,120
screen it's super cool it's kind of like a couple of other keyboards I've looked

14
00:00:54,399 --> 00:00:59,359
at with displays but this time the nice thing is it's actually pointed at you so

15
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:03,760
you're going to be able to look at all the little blink LEDs when you turn them

16
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:06,880
on and I'm more impressed by the key caps than I have been in quite a while

17
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:11,960
let's check out what else is in the Box we've got our epomaker dyab 75x welcome

18
00:01:10,439 --> 00:01:16,920
sheet it's got three modes you can do 2.4 GHz Wireless you can do Bluetooth or

19
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:21,119
you can do wired which is great I really love it when a keyboard isn't Wireless

20
00:01:19,159 --> 00:01:25,320
only I've bought a few for super cheap that are just so disappointing I just

21
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:30,400
want to plug it in more importantly we get key cap and switch puller uh some

22
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:34,799
extra key caps if you're a Mac User option command it's obviously both

23
00:01:33,079 --> 00:01:39,520
Windows and Mac compatible which is always great and I'm a big fan of being

24
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:44,719
able to swap keycaps uh I'm also a big fan of this colorway I really like the

25
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:48,200
kind of lilac purple with this deeper purple on the escape in the enter and

26
00:01:46,479 --> 00:01:52,680
then the rest is just white with a nice purple Legend very pretty uh especially

27
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:57,719
on the white keyboard the other one is black I believe so we'll take a look at

28
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:59,200
that as well as for the cable it's not

29
00:01:57,719 --> 00:02:03,399
bad it comes with this little leather or pleather strip I'm honestly not

30
00:02:01,039 --> 00:02:07,119
genuinely sure but it looks nice and it feels okay and then on top of that this

31
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:13,400
Gable is thick it's not exactly sleeved but man

32
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:17,840
it it sure feels like it in terms of girth uh otherwise you know it's got

33
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:22,959
these really nice metal connectors that I'm a big fan of on the housing on the

34
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:25,000
ends they've got these four screws on

35
00:02:22,959 --> 00:02:30,800
either side so while you do need one of those uh triangle heads to take it apart

36
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:34,879
it's possible um a lot of the time otherwise USB is just kind of annoying

37
00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:40,040
to open up and then they've got this similarly bulky end on the USBC side I'm

38
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:45,280
actually okay with this not being sleeved because I think that the thick

39
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:48,159
white cable actually really fits with the rest of this keyboard I've also

40
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:51,879
noticed that they've got this cool digital display game and office

41
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:55,599
mechanical keyboard label at the top I don't know how I feel about the label

42
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:59,840
but I do really like that even though there's probably hot keys for changing

43
00:02:57,319 --> 00:03:06,760
the wired or Wireless stuff you can just flick it on and off on the switch here

44
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:08,159
uh Bluetooth wired 2.4 gig great to see

45
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:13,400
that but before we actually plug it in I got to look at this keyboard itself and

46
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,400
so to do that I want to take

47
00:03:13,879 --> 00:03:22,840
this beautiful peel off screen looks a lot nicer now it's got adjustable

48
00:03:20,239 --> 00:03:26,959
feet which is always something I really love to see it's a feature that you

49
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:30,439
don't often see in like really high-end Boutique boards um and I don't I don't

50
00:03:29,319 --> 00:03:34,560
know why maybe it's just because the metal meets

51
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:38,439
plastic as a bit of a pain to get right but um I prefer it because hey maybe you

52
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:43,879
don't like this high of a typing angle okay that's fine go down now you're flat

53
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:49,120
now it's good to go fantastic and then aside from that where's the dongle for

54
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:52,480
this thing oh that's pretty

55
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:54,799
cool I okay another very minor gripe I

56
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:59,200
really wish this just swung open on a little hinge instead of fully coming off

57
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:02,480
however that is a pretty Sleek design I didn't even see it right away and then

58
00:04:01,239 --> 00:04:07,439
when it's on there you barely even notice it just kind of looks like a different piece of plastic it doesn't

59
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:10,920
look like it's actually supposed to open until you take a look and check out that

60
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:17,840
little clip part right there um we'll plug it in later what I also want to

61
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:20,600
talk about is just how like stiff and

62
00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:26,000
Hefty this thing is it's all plastic but it doesn't feel too bad and you know I

63
00:04:22,759 --> 00:04:27,680
have felt a lot of pretty decent all

64
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:32,759
plastic mechanical keyboards it also tends to drive the price way down more

65
00:04:30,199 --> 00:04:37,240
on that later and especially when you add enough foam to it you can get a

66
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:39,320
pretty decent sound out of it this could

67
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:43,199
still be a little better especially considering how many foam layers they've

68
00:04:40,639 --> 00:04:47,360
got in there but it's honestly not bad out of the

69
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:52,759
box the only thing I'd try to do if I were you is adjust the space bar a

70
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:56,759
really big pet peeve of mine is when your space bar sounds significantly

71
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:59,720
different that's true to honestly most keyboards just because the space bar is

72
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:08,479
so long and Hollow compared to every another key on the board let's weigh it let's how heavy is this thing I'm going

73
00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:10,880
to guess 2 lb two 2 lb it's a 75% layout

74
00:05:08,479 --> 00:05:14,360
obviously it's a Dap 75x so you're going to get more of a tkl style where there's

75
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,919
no numpad attached which is good for a lot of people cuz imagine if there was

76
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:20,560
an unpad this thing would be pretty long and it would take up a lot of desk space

77
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:27,680
um to each their own oh look at that I was almost bang on

78
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:30,199
1,81 g 2 lb is like 900 it's a hot

79
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:34,000
swappable PCB which I mean it's 20 24 if you're not doing that I don't know what

80
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:38,199
you're doing it's got a 10,000 milliamp battery which is a lot admittedly but I

81
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:42,520
don't know how much is going to the screen itself once it's lighting up or

82
00:05:40,479 --> 00:05:46,120
to the south facing RGB if you turn all that off though 10,000 milliamp hours on

83
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:49,479
a regular keyboard is going to last you quite a while or at least it should

84
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:55,120
let's boot it up but not before a word from our sponsor wait it's epomaker no

85
00:05:51,560 --> 00:06:00,520
let's just plug it in hello epomaker

86
00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:04,240
wow okay I don't know what the okay oo

87
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:05,800
man I'm just a sucker for like RGB LEDs

88
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:10,039
lights in general I I always love Christmas lights as a kid you know you drive around the neighborhood look at

89
00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:12,720
all the Christmas lights uh this should this button here should both turn the

90
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:17,800
screen on and off as well as changing the modes so let's try some of the

91
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:20,680
different modes hello EO maker wow it's just like a bunch of RGB if you're

92
00:06:19,319 --> 00:06:24,479
seeing any weird flickering on your screen I assure you that's just the LEDs

93
00:06:23,199 --> 00:06:30,120
uh interacting with the way we're filming it it looks steady in person

94
00:06:27,319 --> 00:06:33,240
looks totally fine um these patterns look okay it's really just like the full

95
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:38,240
screen yeah it's got this weird flicker but that's okay and you know the screen

96
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:40,160
definitely adds a lot of extra width to

97
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:44,039
the whole thing but it's really not that bad I mean this doesn't take up that

98
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:48,720
much desk space all things told let's try a good oldfashioned typing test and

99
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,720
away we

100
00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:56,240
go no man I was doing so good at the start

101
00:06:54,720 --> 00:07:00,680
and then that last half I had like three errors okay well 116 98% still ain't bad

102
00:06:59,199 --> 00:07:05,960
I like it I'm still torn sometimes I love

103
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:10,120
linear sometimes I love tactiles so let's try the other one and see which

104
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,120
one I like

105
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,639
more let's try the tactiles really

106
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:22,319
quick I can tell you right now that the sound isn't that much better with the

107
00:07:20,479 --> 00:07:26,919
tactiles but it is a little and I kind of prefer it I also really like how

108
00:07:24,479 --> 00:07:31,879
they've got the legend on the front um on this key cap I love a blank Style key

109
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:36,240
cap set it's just really nice it's really elitist and dumb but when you

110
00:07:34,639 --> 00:07:39,599
know how to type and you don't need it it's uh it feels pretty good we'll do a

111
00:07:38,319 --> 00:07:44,720
quick typing test 11397 I screwed up a couple times

112
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:49,759
but you know what it's still pretty good but overall I'm very pleasantly

113
00:07:46,879 --> 00:07:53,520
surprised I think for an all plastic chassis it actually sounds pretty decent

114
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:59,520
I don't know if that Hi-Fi sound sheet is making much of if any difference at

115
00:07:57,159 --> 00:08:03,039
all but I like to see experimentation and I'm glad that they're actually at

116
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:06,759
least trying something which is always cool and especially because it's not

117
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:12,919
going to cost you an arm and a leg we're also going to try the dino tab 75 non-x

118
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:19,560
it doesn't have the screen it is less expensive but it's still pretty

119
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:22,560
nifty ooh I love this like brown and

120
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:25,240
maroon no not quite maroon but like a

121
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:28,479
reddish brown mud kind of look almost knock to it but not quite I really like

122
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:33,959
it uh but yeah if it wasn't obvious already instead of a screen you've got

123
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:35,719
what's supposed to be a phone holder Ah

124
00:08:33,959 --> 00:08:39,000
that's pretty cool I really like being able to both put my phone here in case a

125
00:08:37,519 --> 00:08:43,279
notification comes up and I need to see it and is I've just got like a whole

126
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:47,040
second monitor now but what's especially neat is the idea that you can connect

127
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:52,640
these via Bluetooth and then type on your phone and use your phone as your

128
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:58,240
display and your kind of your computer oh my God there's some latency because

129
00:08:55,640 --> 00:09:03,240
it's Bluetooth and you know I can't put my phone into horizontal landscape

130
00:09:03,279 --> 00:09:09,519
mode but this is great it's hard I'm normally looking

131
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:12,920
like several words ahead when I'm doing these typing tests and I can only see

132
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:17,399
like three uh because it's in portrait and not landscape but that's really cool

133
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:21,120
I don't know how often anyone's actually going to use that feature but I do think

134
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:25,560
it's pretty cool the only other major difference between this and the X

135
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:29,800
version is the battery and it makes sense this one's only rocking a 5,000

136
00:09:27,839 --> 00:09:33,640
mAh battery but it's it's also not driving that big screen so I think

137
00:09:32,079 --> 00:09:38,760
that's fine it's still a pretty big battery for a wireless keyboard let's

138
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:40,120
check out the software on the dyab 75x

139
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:44,880
and then I'll tell you all about all the prices this looks pretty easy we've got

140
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:50,600
our function settings don't get me wrong guys I would love via compatibility um I

141
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:54,160
am not someone who actually goes in and changes much if anything with their

142
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:59,000
keyboards but I don't like proprietary software in general however this is

143
00:09:56,399 --> 00:10:02,040
working pretty well uh and it seems very simple

144
00:10:00,279 --> 00:10:09,000
and easy to use let's go to the screen let's make a little thing here oh yeah

145
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,000
that's great

146
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:16,079
upload wow my creation look at that that

147
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:20,760
was the probably one of the easiest though that I've ever done with one of

148
00:10:17,519 --> 00:10:22,040
these um either custom screen or uh not

149
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:27,720
even keyboards like you can get little LED displays that you can plug in and do the same thing uh that was super easy to

150
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:30,600
use I literally just drew it on here and then uploaded the picture you can also

151
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:34,920
do a bunch of other cool stuff like say you want to do a little animation you

152
00:10:32,560 --> 00:10:39,920
can add frames I'm not going to like sit here and do anything but look I can add

153
00:10:36,959 --> 00:10:43,079
a frame I can subtract I can make I can copy the previous frame if you want to

154
00:10:41,399 --> 00:10:45,920
like take your image copy it over and then move like a leg so that you make

155
00:10:44,519 --> 00:10:49,760
like a little dude running across it or something like that you can add pictures

156
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:58,000
okay I got to try to put a picture on it I have to firm wow in all its pixel oh

157
00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:03,000
can I contrl Z oh my you can even contrl Z your uh last action if you

158
00:11:00,839 --> 00:11:09,079
accidentally draw on it like I just did but check this out upload

159
00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:11,320
picture it's a beautiful pixelated mess

160
00:11:09,079 --> 00:11:15,560
obviously that takes some fine tuning that is WID Linus however yeah you can

161
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:19,760
totally grab an image and pop it on here with 540 LEDs you've got quite a lot to

162
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:23,040
play around with I wish there were one or two more rows but I guess then

163
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:27,240
obviously the keyboard would be even taller or wider and so you know they're

164
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:30,519
trying to they got they at some point you got to just choose and be like okay

165
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:35,000
it's going to be this wide and this tall and I think what they've done here is pretty neat and if you want to just

166
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:38,320
change RGB without using the hotkeys you can come in here and do that change it

167
00:11:36,279 --> 00:11:44,000
to like Spectrum cycle or dynamic breathing or um waves Ripple I'm

168
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:46,880
actually a big Ripple fan yeah it is ah yeah okay it's totally Rippling back up

169
00:11:45,639 --> 00:11:50,600
your configuration settings from the cloud so you can plug it in make an

170
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:54,399
account download the software on a different computer use the same software

171
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:59,320
there boom your same little animations and everything is already backed up and

172
00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:02,200
ready to go as for the price if you want

173
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:07,040
the screen which I kind of do it's going to be $140 if you want to save a buck

174
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:13,839
and maybe use the other one just the regular non-x dyab 75 uh it's only 90

175
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:17,560
bucks so they shaved off a whole $50 for this LED screen and I guess half the

176
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:20,240
battery but you know a lot of that batteries probably go into the screen

177
00:12:18,959 --> 00:12:24,560
either way if you want to check them out then we'll have them down in the links below thanks so much for watching if you

178
00:12:23,279 --> 00:12:28,000
want to check out another ShortCircuit make sure to look at the rt100 from eil

179
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:31,040
maker that was one with the little monitor screen I think Jamie took it

180
