00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,040
thank you to groupernow for sponsoring this video at ces 2018 you can check out

2
00:00:03,280 --> 00:00:09,200
their symbios concept car in the description down below we're checking

3
00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:13,360
out the generation kb 170l and one other keyboard but you have to wait for that

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:19,039
this one as you can see immediately has 66 macro keys at the top of the keyboard

5
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:22,960
each one of those keys can take 220 character inputs you do that by

6
00:00:21,199 --> 00:00:26,640
switching a switch just right here on the back of the keyboard from program

7
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:30,560
mode to keyboard mode and you can type all that kind of stuff in to program

8
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:35,680
those individual keys there's only one profile for these keys but you easily

9
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:39,120
switch to another mode by holding shift just like you would for any other key on

10
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:45,040
the keyboard to switch to essentially another set of 66 more macro

11
00:00:42,559 --> 00:00:48,960
keys all of the keys at the top have these clear top covers on them so you

12
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:52,239
can print out little cards for each one of them insert it under the top cover

13
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:56,399
and then be able to reference what that's actually for in the future which

14
00:00:54,239 --> 00:00:59,520
is really helpful because well they're programmable keys so they're what you

15
00:00:58,559 --> 00:01:05,519
set them to not what they're pre-programmed for so they can't come with labels on them they are single shot

16
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:09,520
abs keycaps naturally due to the cap on top of them and the standard qwerty keys

17
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:13,600
are double shot keycaps and i want to show you guys something right here

18
00:01:11,439 --> 00:01:17,600
this whole keyboard if i try to grab it pretty firmly on each side and try to

19
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:21,680
twist it it essentially doesn't twist at all and i'm giving it quite a bit of

20
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:26,960
force i have seen drastically more keyboard twist in 10 keyless keyboards

21
00:01:24,159 --> 00:01:30,960
that don't have three rows of macro keys above it than this one does it's it's

22
00:01:29,439 --> 00:01:36,079
built quite well there's a metal plate throughout the entire thing so it weighs

23
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,600
2.2 kilograms or 4.85 pounds that's a

24
00:01:36,079 --> 00:01:42,000
lot for a keyboard good for bashing zombies with or just staying where it's

25
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:46,320
supposed to be on your desk they did however take some precautions in making

26
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:50,159
it as compact as they could you can see compared to a standard keyboard there

27
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,680
isn't this divide between the f keys and the normal qwerty keys they shrank that

28
00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:56,960
down whether that's a positive or a negative i'm not entirely sure

29
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,840
personally i think my muscle memory would make it so that when i go to press

30
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:04,560
escape i would end up pressing this macro key in the corner but you know

31
00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:08,160
making the macro keys at the very top actually more pressable it's probably a

32
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:13,120
benefit for that so depends on you in terms of usability the switches are

33
00:02:10,399 --> 00:02:16,720
cherry mx blacks there's a usb pass-through port on the back of the

34
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:20,480
keyboard and when you're in program mode there is a little light just next to num

35
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:24,080
log caps lock and scroll lock so that you know that you're in program mode and

36
00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:27,440
not typing mode this keyboard was just announced at the show and will probably

37
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:33,000
be available through amazon but just in case you can get it at dsi keyboards.com

38
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:38,959
the backlit version will cost 340. and the non-backlit version will

39
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:41,920
cost 280 290 around there next up we

40
00:02:38,959 --> 00:02:46,879
have the langen gk358 which as you can see it's quite water resistant it's an

41
00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:52,000
ip68 rated keyboard meaning that it can be submerged in up to 1.5 meters of

42
00:02:49,519 --> 00:02:55,120
water for 30 minutes but they don't know the maximum depth that it could be

43
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:58,879
submerged for because it's made for like spills and stuff not

44
00:02:56,959 --> 00:03:04,080
actually gaming underwater they did say however that it can be under water to

45
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:08,239
some degree for about up to a week which is pretty cool it's also only 30 bucks

46
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:12,560
and features double shot injected keycaps and backlighting the back

47
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:16,959
lighting is four different colors across the board not RGB leds but there is

48
00:03:15,519 --> 00:03:22,000
different lighting modes as well so if you hold the function key and press scroll lock it will change what lighting

49
00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:25,840
mode it's in we have experienced a couple glitches

50
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:30,159
while sitting here but it seems to be only if you like get water on it and

51
00:03:28,239 --> 00:03:33,120
then lift it up vertically so the water goes up into the key caps that there is

52
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:37,120
any problem so if you spill stuff on your keyboard maybe don't like

53
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:40,720
pour the water into the top of the keycaps and you'll probably be fine it

54
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:45,599
does also feature an actually pretty nice colored metal top but there is a

55
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:48,640
little bit of flex actually a fair amount of flex it is a 30 dollar

56
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:52,560
keyboard so i maybe wouldn't worry about that too much if this is the price range

57
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:57,519
that you're shopping for it features an optical switch i have not personally

58
00:03:54,879 --> 00:04:01,920
seen before manufactured by a taiwanese company called everlight other notable

59
00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:05,280
features is that there's RGB lighting along the sides of the keyboards which

60
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:09,599
is pretty cool it's only two milliseconds of delay and this metal

61
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:14,480
plate comes in either black or blue it will be available on alibaba or

62
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:19,040
bbr86.com so cool there's a keyboard that you can

63
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:21,919
use literally underwater i'm typing right now and i can see it on the screen

64
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:26,960
over there pretty sweet if you're more interested in things outside of the water however i'm going to bring back

65
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:30,880
our sponsor group renault for sponsoring this video Linus went to go check out

66
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:34,880
their symbios car in france not that long ago and he was able to experience

67
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:38,960
level four automation that means he was able to sit in the driver's seat and not

68
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:42,160
drive he just used his laptop while he was sitting there and it drove him down

69
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:45,680
real roads in france with other cars on it really cool there's also tons of

70
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:49,520
other cool tech inside of the car so be sure to check that out up here or

71
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:52,320
possibly down in the link below i'll see you guys next time like this video if

72
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:55,600
you liked it dislike it if you dislike it get subscribed all that fun stuff and

73
00:04:54,320 --> 00:05:01,120
