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

00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:12.320
maker offered to sponsor this video to check out their new dino Tab 75x and

00:00:08.360 --> 00:00:13.960
more I couldn't say no cuz it's got this

00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:20.279
cool optional smart screen that's built in 75% triple mode gasket mounted

00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:24.880
mechanical keyboard really cool three pin and five pin switches hot swappable

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

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

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:37.160
foam sheet I don't know how much better that actually makes any sounds or audio

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

00:00:39.040 --> 00:00:42.719
is there's several cameras pointed at

00:00:42.760 --> 00:00:49.239
me it's got a cool screen on it and there's

00:00:46.559 --> 00:00:52.960
540 LEDs that you can program yourself to display whatever you want on that

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:25.320
only I've bought a few for super cheap that are just so disappointing I just

00:01:22.880 --> 00:01:30.400
want to plug it in more importantly we get key cap and switch puller uh some

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:34.799
extra key caps if you're a Mac User option command it's obviously both

00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:39.520
Windows and Mac compatible which is always great and I'm a big fan of being

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

00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:48.200
kind of lilac purple with this deeper purple on the escape in the enter and

00:01:46.479 --> 00:01:52.680
then the rest is just white with a nice purple Legend very pretty uh especially

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

00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:59.200
that as well as for the cable it's not

00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:03.399
bad it comes with this little leather or pleather strip I'm honestly not

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

00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:13.400
Gable is thick it's not exactly sleeved but man

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

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

00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:25.000
ends they've got these four screws on

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

00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:34.879
it's possible um a lot of the time otherwise USB is just kind of annoying

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

00:02:38.640 --> 00:02:45.280
actually okay with this not being sleeved because I think that the thick

00:02:42.920 --> 00:02:48.159
white cable actually really fits with the rest of this keyboard I've also

00:02:46.760 --> 00:02:51.879
noticed that they've got this cool digital display game and office

00:02:50.040 --> 00:02:55.599
mechanical keyboard label at the top I don't know how I feel about the label

00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:59.840
but I do really like that even though there's probably hot keys for changing

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

00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:08.159
uh Bluetooth wired 2.4 gig great to see

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

00:03:10.040 --> 00:03:13.400
so to do that I want to take

00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:22.840
this beautiful peel off screen looks a lot nicer now it's got adjustable

00:03:20.239 --> 00:03:26.959
feet which is always something I really love to see it's a feature that you

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

00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:34.560
know why maybe it's just because the metal meets

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

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

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

00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:52.480
this thing oh that's pretty

00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:54.799
cool I okay another very minor gripe I

00:03:52.480 --> 00:03:59.200
really wish this just swung open on a little hinge instead of fully coming off

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

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

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

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

00:04:12.720 --> 00:04:20.600
talk about is just how like stiff and

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

00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:27.680
have felt a lot of pretty decent all

00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:32.759
plastic mechanical keyboards it also tends to drive the price way down more

00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:37.240
on that later and especially when you add enough foam to it you can get a

00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:39.320
pretty decent sound out of it this could

00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:43.199
still be a little better especially considering how many foam layers they've

00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:47.360
got in there but it's honestly not bad out of the

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

00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:56.759
really big pet peeve of mine is when your space bar sounds significantly

00:04:54.320 --> 00:04:59.720
different that's true to honestly most keyboards just because the space bar is

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

00:05:02.840 --> 00:05:10.880
to guess 2 lb two 2 lb it's a 75% layout

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

00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:16.919
no numpad attached which is good for a lot of people cuz imagine if there was

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

00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:27.680
um to each their own oh look at that I was almost bang on

00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:30.199
1,81 g 2 lb is like 900 it's a hot

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

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

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

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

00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:49.479
a regular keyboard is going to last you quite a while or at least it should

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

00:05:51.560 --> 00:06:00.520
let's just plug it in hello epomaker

00:05:55.120 --> 00:06:04.240
wow okay I don't know what the okay oo

00:06:00.520 --> 00:06:05.800
man I'm just a sucker for like RGB LEDs

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

00:06:08.280 --> 00:06:12.720
all the Christmas lights uh this should this button here should both turn the

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

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

00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:24.479
seeing any weird flickering on your screen I assure you that's just the LEDs

00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:30.120
uh interacting with the way we're filming it it looks steady in person

00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:33.240
looks totally fine um these patterns look okay it's really just like the full

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

00:06:34.880 --> 00:06:40.160
definitely adds a lot of extra width to

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

00:06:41.880 --> 00:06:48.720
much desk space all things told let's try a good oldfashioned typing test and

00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:48.720
away we

00:06:50.280 --> 00:06:56.240
go no man I was doing so good at the start

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

00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:05.960
I like it I'm still torn sometimes I love

00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:10.120
linear sometimes I love tactiles so let's try the other one and see which

00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:10.120
one I like

00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:15.639
more let's try the tactiles really

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

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

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

00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:36.240
cap set it's just really nice it's really elitist and dumb but when you

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

00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:44.720
quick typing test 11397 I screwed up a couple times

00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:49.759
but you know what it's still pretty good but overall I'm very pleasantly

00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:53.520
surprised I think for an all plastic chassis it actually sounds pretty decent

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

00:07:57.159 --> 00:08:03.039
all but I like to see experimentation and I'm glad that they're actually at

00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:06.759
least trying something which is always cool and especially because it's not

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

00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:19.560
it doesn't have the screen it is less expensive but it's still pretty

00:08:15.840 --> 00:08:22.560
nifty ooh I love this like brown and

00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:25.240
maroon no not quite maroon but like a

00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:28.479
reddish brown mud kind of look almost knock to it but not quite I really like

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

00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:35.719
what's supposed to be a phone holder Ah

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

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

00:08:40.760 --> 00:08:47.040
second monitor now but what's especially neat is the idea that you can connect

00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:52.640
these via Bluetooth and then type on your phone and use your phone as your

00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:58.240
display and your kind of your computer oh my God there's some latency because

00:08:55.640 --> 00:09:03.240
it's Bluetooth and you know I can't put my phone into horizontal landscape

00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:09.519
mode but this is great it's hard I'm normally looking

00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:12.920
like several words ahead when I'm doing these typing tests and I can only see

00:09:10.800 --> 00:09:17.399
like three uh because it's in portrait and not landscape but that's really cool

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

00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:25.560
it's pretty cool the only other major difference between this and the X

00:09:23.640 --> 00:09:29.800
version is the battery and it makes sense this one's only rocking a 5,000

00:09:27.839 --> 00:09:33.640
mAh battery but it's it's also not driving that big screen so I think

00:09:32.079 --> 00:09:38.760
that's fine it's still a pretty big battery for a wireless keyboard let's

00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:40.120
check out the software on the dyab 75x

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

00:09:42.800 --> 00:09:50.600
our function settings don't get me wrong guys I would love via compatibility um I

00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:54.160
am not someone who actually goes in and changes much if anything with their

00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:59.000
keyboards but I don't like proprietary software in general however this is

00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:02.040
working pretty well uh and it seems very simple

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

00:10:05.160 --> 00:10:09.000
that's great

00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:16.079
upload wow my creation look at that that

00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:20.760
was the probably one of the easiest though that I've ever done with one of

00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:22.040
these um either custom screen or uh not

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

00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:30.600
use I literally just drew it on here and then uploaded the picture you can also

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

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

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

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

00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:49.760
like a little dude running across it or something like that you can add pictures

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

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

00:11:00.839 --> 00:11:09.079
accidentally draw on it like I just did but check this out upload

00:11:05.680 --> 00:11:11.320
picture it's a beautiful pixelated mess

00:11:09.079 --> 00:11:15.560
obviously that takes some fine tuning that is WID Linus however yeah you can

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

00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:23.040
play around with I wish there were one or two more rows but I guess then

00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:27.240
obviously the keyboard would be even taller or wider and so you know they're

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

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

00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:38.320
change RGB without using the hotkeys you can come in here and do that change it

00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:44.000
to like Spectrum cycle or dynamic breathing or um waves Ripple I'm

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

00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:50.600
your configuration settings from the cloud so you can plug it in make an

00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:54.399
account download the software on a different computer use the same software

00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:59.320
there boom your same little animations and everything is already backed up and

00:11:56.240 --> 00:12:02.200
ready to go as for the price if you want

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

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

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

00:12:15.920 --> 00:12:20.240
battery but you know a lot of that batteries probably go into the screen

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

00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:28.000
want to check out another ShortCircuit make sure to look at the rt100 from eil

00:12:26.760 --> 00:12:31.040
maker that was one with the little monitor screen I think Jamie took it

00:12:29.880 --> 00:12:34.680
