trusted gaming gear partner is Corsair vengeance and our trusted retail partner

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:13,519
is ncix.com hey guys we're here at gamdias and i

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:18,720
know what you're probably thinking is slick another keyboard video seriously

5
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:22,080
no no guys okay first we're going to do the mouse then we'll do the keyboard of

6
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:25,279
course i had to get to that then we'll do the headset then we're going to do this interesting thing right here so

7
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:29,920
first i'm going to go over the mouse like i just said at first it looks nuts there's tons of

8
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:33,040
stuff all over the place there's 11 macro keys

9
00:00:31,359 --> 00:00:36,000
to do all over the place it's all programmable they have a nice software

10
00:00:34,559 --> 00:00:40,480
for all of their things tied into one let's actually jump up to that real quick so this is their software right

11
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:44,320
now i just have the mouse and keyboard plugged in so at the bottom you can see

12
00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:48,000
mouse and keyboard are available so one piece of software all your peripherals

13
00:00:46,239 --> 00:00:50,480
as long as they're all from gamdias all right we're going to jump back down not

14
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:55,520
spend too much time with software as it's still mostly in beta if i flip the

15
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:59,760
mouse over you'll find three scroll wheelie type things right here as

16
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:04,400
you can see they're connected directly if i can spin this out to the plastic

17
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:07,439
panel that is closest to them so this one controls this panel this one

18
00:01:06,159 --> 00:01:11,600
controls this panel and this one controls this panel making it a very

19
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:16,960
adjustable mouse apparently there's also going to be options for other plates to

20
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:19,840
go on this as well and on this side they noted that some people with smaller

21
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:23,280
hands had problems getting their pinkies caught in here so on the actual

22
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:27,200
production model that will be released they're going to have a plug that can go there temporarily and they can remove it

23
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,680
later on if they don't want it personally i would leave it out because i think it looks great without it and my

24
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:35,280
pinky is not going to be caught there i currently have the most set up in a

25
00:01:33,119 --> 00:01:38,640
configuration for my hand so i usually claw grip mice and this mouse isn't big

26
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:43,680
enough for me to palm grip anyways but i never problem grip anything so it's not really that big of a deal

27
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:46,880
so it fits me perfectly right now which is actually kind of nice every finger

28
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:50,640
goes into its exact spot that i would want it to go to my pinky doesn't drag

29
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:54,640
along the mat my thumb doesn't drag along the mat everything is working fine

30
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:59,680
it's a fine looking mouse we're going to move on to the keyboard now again slick

31
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,880
another keyboard review this one does actually have some interesting things

32
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:06,960
first off i noticed this little camera button and that intrigued me it's a

33
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:10,720
recording button or a streaming button or a network streaming button or

34
00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:15,760
whatever you want it on release it's not ready yet but i have been told what you can do is

35
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,040
you can live stream with it or you can local record with it or you can stream

36
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:24,080
to another computer in the house so if you have someone with a home theater computer set up to the tv you can stream

37
00:02:22,239 --> 00:02:27,520
to that your dad or your family or your mom or whoever wants to watch you play

38
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:33,200
whatever game you're playing can watch there i don't know if you have anyone that wants to just sit and watch you

39
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:35,280
play games but that is a cool option

40
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:38,800
now moving forward if i pull this key off they'll probably not be too happy

41
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:42,959
that i didn't use a key puller but i don't know whatever so

42
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:45,519
sorry gamdias it looks like cherry blue switches it

43
00:02:44,239 --> 00:02:49,519
looks fairly standard but then there's this little square around the switch

44
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:53,760
that is a way of dampening the press so it doesn't actually bottom out which

45
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:57,920
makes it quite a bit quieter as if i'm gonna put the mic there

46
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:02,239
i don't know how attuned you are with cherry blues but they're really really loud you can hear the click and then you

47
00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:06,480
can hear it slam against the bottom of the keyboard if you press all the way down like i do i always press all the

48
00:03:04,959 --> 00:03:11,680
way down it's a bad habit but it is a habit so that dampens it and also makes less

49
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:15,200
total travel time and makes it spring up faster they're clean claiming that is a

50
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:20,400
type of hybrid switch and it'll feel more like a red than it does like a blue

51
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:24,000
i'm not so sure how i feel about that i like the blues and i like dampeners but

52
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:27,519
i'm not sure how much a red user would be able to actually relate the two

53
00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:31,040
that's up to you i would recommend trying it out yourself as i do with all

54
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:36,560
mechanical keyboards up at the top here they've got a usb hub one of them with

55
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:40,400
uh mic and audio headers not headers plugs sorry about that talked a lot

56
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:44,080
today jumping down to the bottom they have a wrist rest it's a massive wrist

57
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:49,120
rest any 7g users will that like their huge wrist rest will like this one thing

58
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:51,680
to notice is it's magnetic clips in very

59
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:55,519
nicely and if you take it off spin it around and put it on top of your

60
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:58,720
keyboard it actually works as a dust cover this is kind of interesting i do

61
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:02,319
carry dust covers with my keyboards just to keep them nice and pristine and if

62
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:06,400
you want a place that is very dusty this could help you out it's just interesting

63
00:04:04,159 --> 00:04:09,920
added functionality that gamdias has done you'll notice that their logo

64
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:13,680
actually says zeus on it that is just actually their logo they are gambias as

65
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:20,160
it says on the wrist rest moving past the keyboard we get to

66
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:23,520
hephaestus this thing is huge and crazy

67
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:25,840
and has heat sinks and vibration motors

68
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:30,000
and everything so basically i'm going to jump into the heatsinks they're saying

69
00:04:27,759 --> 00:04:33,360
gamer's ears get hot that sounds pretty accurate to me so they have heatsinks in

70
00:04:31,919 --> 00:04:38,560
here to try and keep the overall temperature of the um of the cans cold

71
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:42,560
sorry for using terminology cans there that's what some people call

72
00:04:40,639 --> 00:04:48,000
ear cups on headphones huge huge soft cups they feel quite nice

73
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:52,000
up here there's a little bit not quite as much as down here but this is the

74
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:55,040
more important part in my opinion if say you're in a game someone throws a

75
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:59,280
grenade and it blows up behind you depending on what side they're on one of

76
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:03,360
the ear muffs will vibrate and i believe if it's central they'll both vibrate

77
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:08,080
yeah so if it's central they will both vibrate if it's on one side one will vibrate just a little bit of added

78
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:12,080
functionality there they're like calling it a added

79
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:17,120
element so that's kind of interesting or forced to mention the boom mic is very

80
00:05:15,039 --> 00:05:20,479
adjustable so if you somehow have a mouth that's over here when the rest of

81
00:05:18,639 --> 00:05:24,479
your face is over there you can do that or you can very easily have it wherever

82
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:27,360
you want it it seems to be able to be pretty stiff wherever you want it so

83
00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:32,560
that is pretty cool these things i tested them out the bass

84
00:05:29,199 --> 00:05:34,240
is pretty insane it can pound like

85
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:37,520
pretty much no other of course there is others but pretty much no other bass is

86
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:43,039
awesome i noticed a little bit of siblings on some highs but those weren't

87
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:45,039
that bad and that brings us to this guy

88
00:05:43,039 --> 00:05:49,600
this guy's quite interesting it heats to your monitor through 3m stickers and

89
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:54,000
it's actually not that bad apparently if you take it off it doesn't leave

90
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,639
and it won't pull any of the paint off your monitor although it may leave some

91
00:05:55,600 --> 00:06:02,479
residue basically what this is is it's cable management for one cable i highly

92
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:06,960
suggest your mouse as they have it set up here and then on the back if i can

93
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:09,680
rotate this monitor uh

94
00:06:08,479 --> 00:06:14,800
i'm getting some people trying to help me here we'll try and get this done i'm going to unplug the monitor actually

95
00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:14,800
there we go

96
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:21,840
there we go nope this side this side this side that side there you go usb 2.0

97
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:25,680
hub on the back that is actually pretty cool and then this you're probably one

98
00:06:23,919 --> 00:06:28,960
wondering what that was doing there i had the headphones hooked up there and

99
00:06:27,280 --> 00:06:31,840
that's actually what makes sense a lot of people don't have headphone holders

100
00:06:30,319 --> 00:06:35,039
personally i have sennheisers that came with a headphone holder and i love it if

101
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:38,479
you don't have a headphone holder this is not a bad idea

102
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:41,680
thank you for checking out our game ds booth they have tons of other options so

103
00:06:40,479 --> 00:06:47,120
check that out and if you want to see all the rest of our computex content be sure to subscribe to Linus tech tips
