WEBVTT 00:00:00.199 --> 00:00:07.759 this video is brought to you by the Intel Core i5 4670k unlocked processor 00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:12.880 add an Intel 520 series SSD to your Haswell system for unbelievable overall 00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:20.600 performance welcome to my unboxing and first look at the tte sports by thermal 00:00:15.360 --> 00:00:22.600 take Mecha G1 so Mecca is short for 00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:27.880 membrane because that is the kind of key switches that no I'm just kidding Mecca 00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:33.239 is short for as you guys might imagine Mecca anical so this is a fully 00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:36.800 mechanical gaming keyboard from tte Sports optimized for as you may or may 00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:41.200 not have figured out by this point in time gaming so there's a few things on 00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:45.600 the packaging here that I do want to go through so multimedia keys to control 00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:49.879 audio function at Instant without going to control panel very handy so you use a 00:00:47.879 --> 00:00:54.879 function button which is down there and you use some other buttons which are 00:00:51.559 --> 00:00:56.680 over here I do like audio scroll Wheels 00:00:54.879 --> 00:01:01.359 but in a pinch I will definitely settle for these in fact my own keyboard does 00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:03.440 use these USB for installation of other 00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:07.159 USB gaming device so it has two buil-in USB ports that are in a hub as well as 00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:12.000 audio jacks for microphone in and speaker out function excellent military 00:01:09.720 --> 00:01:17.080 grade cable tough and reliable goldplated USB connector PS2 adapter for 00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:22.040 n key rollover awesome I still do like to see PS2 compatibility black cherry 00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:28.920 switches so 50 million keystrokes and finally a th000 polling 1,000 HZ pulling 00:01:25.360 --> 00:01:32.439 rate is supported by this keyboard now 00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:35.119 okay normal takes marketing for that 00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:41.439 particular feature I personally took exception to because they are okay torts 00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:45.479 rather not thermal take because they are different even though they are very very 00:01:43.399 --> 00:01:50.280 closely related because right here on the front of the box it says gaming 00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:56.280 speed eight times quicker which I think is a pretty broad statement but does 00:01:53.399 --> 00:02:01.600 have some truth to it so what they mean is because the keyboard supports a 1,00 00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:07.200 htz polling rate that is to say that the keyboard is reporting to the computer 00:02:04.479 --> 00:02:14.599 1,000 times every second versus a standard 125 HZ pulling rate the the 00:02:11.640 --> 00:02:20.680 computer itself can receive the signal in up to 1/8 of the time or or as little 00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:25.519 as 1/8 of the time so that's what they mean it is more responsive assuming you 00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:29.680 set it up that way which you can do because it does support it but it will 00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:34.080 not make your gaming eight times faster any anything like that so the keyboard 00:02:31.920 --> 00:02:38.440 itself has a fairly standard layout on the bottom you find four nice big rubber 00:02:37.239 --> 00:02:42.840 pads that don't look like they're going to slide anywhere I also see this looks 00:02:40.920 --> 00:02:47.400 oh this looks really nice actually I haven't seen thermal Tes system for 00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:50.879 attaching a wrist rest before but it looks like there's very little risk of 00:02:48.959 --> 00:02:54.599 these accidentally coming out and very little risk of accidentally breaking 00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:59.280 them when you pull them out because they use a like a like a breakaway a 00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:01.879 breakaway system here so when they when the prongs come out the side there's a 00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:05.599 very good chance they're going to rip off but I actually quite like this we've 00:03:03.920 --> 00:03:10.440 also got adjustable seat right here on the bottom so you can change the angle 00:03:07.480 --> 00:03:13.440 to suit your personal gaming or typing requirements and then we're going to go 00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:18.519 ahead and flip the keyboard around where you are going to see the military grade 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:23.560 cable and this thing is truly redonkulous so for context I'm going to 00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:28.439 go grab a k70 here so this is a Corsair keyboard which doesn't contain all the 00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:32.360 same functionality mind you but you can see the actual difference thickness 00:03:30.760 --> 00:03:36.920 between these two cables is kind of funny so the Corsair keyboard doesn't 00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:41.040 carry audio through the same cable as the uh as the thermal take one does or 00:03:39.040 --> 00:03:44.360 the tte sports one does tte Sports got to got to remember that so speaking of 00:03:42.760 --> 00:03:49.640 the all the things that are carried by it so there's USB for the Hub it's 00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:54.640 clearly labeled Hub thank you for that tte Sports can you see that cool then 00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:59.200 we've got the keyboard itself which has a picture of a keyboard as well as a PS2 00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:02.840 adapter attached to it finally the pass through for mic phone and the pass 00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:06.480 through for headphones which are clearly labeled here wouldn't mind seeing these 00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:11.319 ones green and these ones pink I do find that particularly helpful for myself but 00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:16.320 having the picture on it is definitely an acceptable alternative so next up 00:04:14.519 --> 00:04:20.160 here actually I'm going to borrow something from that other 00:04:18.359 --> 00:04:23.160 keyboard again we have a key cap remover so let's find out what Cherry MX 00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:28.120 switches we have down there remember guys genuine Cherry MX switches always 00:04:25.479 --> 00:04:32.960 say cherry on the key switch itself here and they will have color code Ed switch 00:04:31.080 --> 00:04:37.440 colors that will actually correspond to how they feel so because this uses black 00:04:34.960 --> 00:04:41.800 switches it's going to have a linear feel to the Press much like a Cherry MX 00:04:40.039 --> 00:04:46.440 red but with a bit of a heavier keystroke so all Cherry MX switches are 00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:52.039 rated for 50 million key strokes they all bottom out at 4 mm and actuate at 2 00:04:49.960 --> 00:04:57.360 mm so actually at half of the bottoming out and many gamers prefer the linear 00:04:54.759 --> 00:05:02.320 keystrokes so that is to say the red and black switch keystrokes because there is 00:05:00.280 --> 00:05:05.960 no double tap issue like you get sometimes with Cherry MX Blues where the 00:05:04.320 --> 00:05:09.960 actuation point is actually slightly different from the tactile feedback 00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:15.120 point so okay so what these ones will do is they tend to be potentially able to 00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:21.639 rebound a little bit faster and be more suitable for gaming whereas many typists 00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:23.919 prefer blues and Browns so there you go 00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:27.400 black switches linear a bit heavier than Reds personally I like black switches 00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:31.199 but they aren't my favorite my personal favorites are Browns cuz they have a bit 00:05:29.039 --> 00:05:34.479 more of that tactic feedback whereas if you want something that's quite 00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:42.560 quiet you might like Cherry MX Reds or Cherry MX blacks in terms of the layout 00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:46.479 of the keyboard itself this is not the illuminated version although there is an 00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:51.840 illuminated version you've got your standard shift backspace enter and of 00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:56.400 course other shift key over here other than that what is this thing well it's a 00:05:53.960 --> 00:06:00.319 solidly built mechanical keyboard on the back you've got that two Port USB hub 00:05:58.919 --> 00:06:04.360 remember guys this is is not a powered Hub so you won't be plugging in 00:06:01.960 --> 00:06:07.759 something like a USB to 2 and 1/2 in external hard drive and another one or 00:06:06.520 --> 00:06:13.599 something like that cuz you will run out of power um it's got their microphone 00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:16.039 and headphone jack it's got a TT Esports 00:06:13.599 --> 00:06:20.599 logo here as well as their battle dragon down here on the bottom and let's do our 00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:24.800 traditional Flex test not bad at all now a lot of people 00:06:23.400 --> 00:06:29.000 say they don't need a mechanical keyboard they don't want a mechanical keyboard they don't want to spend 00:06:27.440 --> 00:06:34.680 particularly the money on a mechanical keyboard they expensive but I would say 00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:38.080 let's make this week a challenge week to try new things you don't have to buy one 00:06:36.280 --> 00:06:41.720 to try one you can go to a store where they happen to have them on display or 00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:44.759 you can find a friend who happens to have one who's willing to let you come 00:06:43.440 --> 00:06:48.440 try it out give yourself five or 10 minutes in front of it and see if you 00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:52.479 like it now speaking of trying new things audible.com this isn't new I've 00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:55.720 talked about it before on this channel they have audiobooks which you can 00:06:54.080 --> 00:06:59.160 download you can either get a membership or you can download one at a time listen 00:06:57.280 --> 00:07:03.639 to it on your Android device or PC or in your car whatever else the case may be 00:07:01.440 --> 00:07:06.639 and I took all of your comments last time about which Audi book I should try 00:07:05.520 --> 00:07:11.520 by the way if you want to get a free audiobook go to audible.com Linus and go 00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:17.039 ahead and use that link because that makes me look good so I took all of your 00:07:14.080 --> 00:07:21.919 suggestions for which book to try and I threw them all on a fire and what I 00:07:19.280 --> 00:07:25.840 decided to try was if I'm going to challenge you guys to try a different 00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:30.240 keyboard experience I'm going to try a different book experience I am going to 00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:34.479 download the first Twilight book and or audio book and I am going to 00:07:32.599 --> 00:07:37.919 listen to it it is going to take 12 hours um I'm going to listen to it 00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:43.039 before I go to bed which is what I typically do with with uh audio books 00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:47.039 nowadays and it will either put me to sleep which will be good or it won't put 00:07:45.159 --> 00:07:51.240 me to sleep and it'll be surprisingly good I am prepared to be surprised and 00:07:49.479 --> 00:07:55.280 you should too about mechanical keyboard so remember guys that's audible.com 00:07:53.199 --> 00:08:01.360 Linus if you want to try Twilight with me or if you have um sort of 00:07:59.960 --> 00:08:06.960 a different thing in mind then you could also get a different book as well so I'm going to go subject myself to that now 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:10.280 as always guys don't forget to like the video and share it and comment on it and 00:08:09.080 --> 00:08:14.000 all that kind of stuff let me know what book you're going to try and as
