00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:13.519
is ncix.com hey guys we're here at gamdias and i

00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:18.720
know what you're probably thinking is slick another keyboard video seriously

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

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

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

00:00:28.240 --> 00:00:33.040
stuff all over the place there's 11 macro keys

00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:36.000
to do all over the place it's all programmable they have a nice software

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

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

00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:48.000
mouse and keyboard are available so one piece of software all your peripherals

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

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

00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:59.760
mouse over you'll find three scroll wheelie type things right here as

00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:04.400
you can see they're connected directly if i can spin this out to the plastic

00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:07.439
panel that is closest to them so this one controls this panel this one

00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:11.600
controls this panel and this one controls this panel making it a very

00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:16.960
adjustable mouse apparently there's also going to be options for other plates to

00:01:14.080 --> 00:01:19.840
go on this as well and on this side they noted that some people with smaller

00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:23.280
hands had problems getting their pinkies caught in here so on the actual

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

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

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

00:01:33.119 --> 00:01:38.640
configuration for my hand so i usually claw grip mice and this mouse isn't big

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

00:01:41.360 --> 00:01:46.880
so it fits me perfectly right now which is actually kind of nice every finger

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

00:01:48.880 --> 00:01:54.640
along the mat my thumb doesn't drag along the mat everything is working fine

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

00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:02.880
another keyboard review this one does actually have some interesting things

00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:06.960
first off i noticed this little camera button and that intrigued me it's a

00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:10.720
recording button or a streaming button or a network streaming button or

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

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

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

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

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

00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:35.280
play games but that is a cool option

00:02:33.200 --> 00:02:38.800
now moving forward if i pull this key off they'll probably not be too happy

00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:42.959
that i didn't use a key puller but i don't know whatever so

00:02:41.040 --> 00:02:45.519
sorry gamdias it looks like cherry blue switches it

00:02:44.239 --> 00:02:49.519
looks fairly standard but then there's this little square around the switch

00:02:47.440 --> 00:02:53.760
that is a way of dampening the press so it doesn't actually bottom out which

00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:57.920
makes it quite a bit quieter as if i'm gonna put the mic there

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

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

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

00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:15.200
total travel time and makes it spring up faster they're clean claiming that is a

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

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

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

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

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

00:03:33.760 --> 00:03:40.400
uh mic and audio headers not headers plugs sorry about that talked a lot

00:03:38.640 --> 00:03:44.080
today jumping down to the bottom they have a wrist rest it's a massive wrist

00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:49.120
rest any 7g users will that like their huge wrist rest will like this one thing

00:03:45.920 --> 00:03:51.680
to notice is it's magnetic clips in very

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

00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:58.720
keyboard it actually works as a dust cover this is kind of interesting i do

00:03:57.040 --> 00:04:02.319
carry dust covers with my keyboards just to keep them nice and pristine and if

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

00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:09.920
added functionality that gamdias has done you'll notice that their logo

00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:13.680
actually says zeus on it that is just actually their logo they are gambias as

00:04:11.760 --> 00:04:20.160
it says on the wrist rest moving past the keyboard we get to

00:04:16.400 --> 00:04:23.520
hephaestus this thing is huge and crazy

00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:25.840
and has heat sinks and vibration motors

00:04:23.520 --> 00:04:30.000
and everything so basically i'm going to jump into the heatsinks they're saying

00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:33.360
gamer's ears get hot that sounds pretty accurate to me so they have heatsinks in

00:04:31.919 --> 00:04:38.560
here to try and keep the overall temperature of the um of the cans cold

00:04:36.960 --> 00:04:42.560
sorry for using terminology cans there that's what some people call

00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:48.000
ear cups on headphones huge huge soft cups they feel quite nice

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

00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:55.040
more important part in my opinion if say you're in a game someone throws a

00:04:53.520 --> 00:04:59.280
grenade and it blows up behind you depending on what side they're on one of

00:04:56.880 --> 00:05:03.360
the ear muffs will vibrate and i believe if it's central they'll both vibrate

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

00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:12.080
functionality there they're like calling it a added

00:05:10.080 --> 00:05:17.120
element so that's kind of interesting or forced to mention the boom mic is very

00:05:15.039 --> 00:05:20.479
adjustable so if you somehow have a mouth that's over here when the rest of

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

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

00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:32.560
that is pretty cool these things i tested them out the bass

00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:34.240
is pretty insane it can pound like

00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:37.520
pretty much no other of course there is others but pretty much no other bass is

00:05:36.080 --> 00:05:43.039
awesome i noticed a little bit of siblings on some highs but those weren't

00:05:39.280 --> 00:05:45.039
that bad and that brings us to this guy

00:05:43.039 --> 00:05:49.600
this guy's quite interesting it heats to your monitor through 3m stickers and

00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:54.000
it's actually not that bad apparently if you take it off it doesn't leave

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

00:05:55.600 --> 00:06:02.479
residue basically what this is is it's cable management for one cable i highly

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

00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:09.680
rotate this monitor uh

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

00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:14.800
there we go

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

00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:25.680
hub on the back that is actually pretty cool and then this you're probably one

00:06:23.919 --> 00:06:28.960
wondering what that was doing there i had the headphones hooked up there and

00:06:27.280 --> 00:06:31.840
that's actually what makes sense a lot of people don't have headphone holders

00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:35.039
personally i have sennheisers that came with a headphone holder and i love it if

00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:38.479
you don't have a headphone holder this is not a bad idea

00:06:36.880 --> 00:06:41.680
thank you for checking out our game ds booth they have tons of other options so

00:06:40.479 --> 00:06:47.120
