00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.040
if i asked you to imagine the perfect gaming keyboard you'd probably think of

00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:12.320
things like cherry mx switches programmable keys and n key rollover

00:00:10.559 --> 00:00:18.080
but what if there was a keyboard that had all the basic gamer features but

00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:23.439
also helped you play longer without fatigue and even gave you multiple ways

00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:29.119
to configure your desktop maybe that's something you didn't even know you

00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:32.160
wanted introducing the freestyle edge

00:00:29.119 --> 00:00:33.440
from kinesis gaming the world's first

00:00:32.160 --> 00:00:42.000
split gaming keyboard and introducing Corsair's new light loop

00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:44.640
fans featuring 16 independent leds in

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:49.370
every fan and low noise operation without sacrificing performance check

00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:54.310
them out at the link below

00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:04.400
now the ideal keyboard position can change a lot depending on what game

00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:08.240
you're playing so the idea here is that whether you're the type who likes to

00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:12.560
tilt your keyboard for shooters throw in a joystick for flying bring the mouse in

00:01:10.479 --> 00:01:17.040
close for reduced shoulder fatigue or let's be honest sometimes you just want

00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:22.080
a little snacky poo the edge gives you flexibility so the two halves of the

00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:27.439
keyboard can be placed up to 50 centimeters apart and you can even hide

00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:32.880
some though not quite enough in my opinion of the cord that goes between

00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:38.479
the pieces to limit the amount of excess hanging out in closer configurations now

00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:44.159
i know what you're thinking okay maybe that's useful but is this really

00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:48.799
worth a video to be honest initially we thought it was just a keyboard with a

00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:54.560
flashy gimmick too but it ended up being a damn good keyboard the build quality

00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:59.520
is solid with braided cables and cherry mx switches either in red brown or blue

00:01:57.520 --> 00:02:04.799
flavors and features like one millisecond response times anti-ghosting

00:02:02.240 --> 00:02:09.920
and eight programmable macro keys will keep hardcore players competitive but

00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:15.120
stealthy the matte black finish and easy to read legend contribute to a clean

00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:18.480
modern look that doesn't scream gamer

00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:21.120
i mean who says that sick gear bro has

00:02:18.480 --> 00:02:26.080
to actually physically nauseate you and it even has a pitch black mode that

00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:29.520
turns off both the blue backlight and the indicator leds neat oh so at this

00:02:28.640 --> 00:02:34.640
point even if the video was over the no no

00:02:31.920 --> 00:02:38.879
wait i i said if it's not over yet the edge would be worth a serious look

00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:43.920
but we haven't even talked about the feature that takes this keyboard to the

00:02:40.640 --> 00:02:47.360
next level programmability every one of

00:02:43.920 --> 00:02:50.319
the edge's 95 keys can be remapped to

00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:55.440
not just any function but any two functions which you toggle between using

00:02:52.879 --> 00:03:00.560
the freaking key down here and i'm not talking about simple

00:02:57.200 --> 00:03:03.680
functions every key or combo using

00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:06.400
modifiers like control and or shift can

00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:12.480
be mapped to a macro and you can have up to 24 macros each one can be up to 300

00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:18.080
characters long the execution speed for which can be controlled globally or set

00:03:15.040 --> 00:03:21.440
individually all the way from four to a

00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:23.360
fiery 3 000 actions per second

00:03:21.440 --> 00:03:27.200
then man this thing just keeps going let's say that you share your keyboard

00:03:24.959 --> 00:03:32.400
with someone else or you like different key mappings for different activities

00:03:28.959 --> 00:03:34.879
like gaming or working that's no problem

00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:40.720
you can have this level of customization on up to nine different layouts so such

00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:45.200
advanced programmability probably needs advanced programming knowledge and or a

00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:49.760
software tool then right well you can do either of those things

00:03:47.920 --> 00:03:54.720
what's cool is that the software tool for Windows is actually built right into

00:03:51.920 --> 00:04:00.239
the keyboard no download required but all but a few niche actions can actually

00:03:57.200 --> 00:04:02.000
be done just using the keys on the board

00:04:00.239 --> 00:04:06.480
it's super intuitive and only takes a second and if you ever forget what layer

00:04:04.239 --> 00:04:11.200
you're using or just what you even have programmed you can

00:04:08.640 --> 00:04:16.000
check it at any time and all of this is stored directly on the board so you can

00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:20.400
take all of your settings with you which brings us to the bad stuff you may

00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:27.759
have noticed that i haven't talked about price yet this keyboard is 220

00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:30.400
or 200 on amazon which isn't outlandish

00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:33.600
but it is a lot even for a high quality mechanical board

00:04:31.919 --> 00:04:38.000
especially one that isn't RGB

00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:42.240
that price tag on its own isn't all of what bothers me anyway remember

00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:46.240
that's still only half the price of the last kinesis ergonomic keyboard we

00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:49.520
reviewed the advantage 2 which you can check out here

00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:54.479
it's the fact that once you've taken your expensive product out of its clever

00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:57.040
box you're left feeling a little

00:04:55.600 --> 00:05:01.919
incomplete the reason is that the edge doesn't come

00:04:59.520 --> 00:05:06.880
with the lift kit which after using it both with and without it feels

00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:14.240
completely essential it tilts your wrists 5 10 or 15 degrees

00:05:11.520 --> 00:05:18.880
and takes the edge from being a stylish flexible maybe even fantastic gaming

00:05:16.479 --> 00:05:22.880
keyboard to being perhaps the most ergonomic gaming keyboard out there

00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:27.759
since the wrist rests keep your wrist from extending the lift kit keeps your

00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:32.639
arms from pronating and the separation prevents them ulnas from deviating

00:05:30.320 --> 00:05:38.400
whether you're typing for hours gaming for hours or some combination of the two

00:05:35.520 --> 00:05:42.320
for hours so should you buy it not everyone is going to like the

00:05:39.919 --> 00:05:47.199
cramped arrow keys or the fact that the halves don't snap together for some

00:05:44.080 --> 00:05:49.919
reason and at this price we think it

00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:56.240
absolutely needs to include the lift kit but of all the ergonomic keyboards so

00:05:53.280 --> 00:06:01.280
far we think this one has by far the most mainstream appeal so if it goes on

00:05:59.039 --> 00:06:04.880
sale i'm ready to say pull the trigger now

00:06:02.080 --> 00:06:04.880
but until then

00:06:05.280 --> 00:06:09.919
you might say i'm a little bit split

00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:12.880
or torn uh

00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:16.800
anyway what i'm not torn about is telling you guys about skillshare it's
