00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.040
thank you to groupernow for sponsoring this video at ces 2018 you can check out

00:00:03.280 --> 00:00:09.200
their symbios concept car in the description down below we're checking

00:00:06.560 --> 00:00:13.360
out the generation kb 170l and one other keyboard but you have to wait for that

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

00:00:16.400 --> 00:00:22.960
each one of those keys can take 220 character inputs you do that by

00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:26.640
switching a switch just right here on the back of the keyboard from program

00:00:24.560 --> 00:00:30.560
mode to keyboard mode and you can type all that kind of stuff in to program

00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:35.680
those individual keys there's only one profile for these keys but you easily

00:00:33.040 --> 00:00:39.120
switch to another mode by holding shift just like you would for any other key on

00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:45.040
the keyboard to switch to essentially another set of 66 more macro

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

00:00:47.120 --> 00:00:52.239
can print out little cards for each one of them insert it under the top cover

00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:56.399
and then be able to reference what that's actually for in the future which

00:00:54.239 --> 00:00:59.520
is really helpful because well they're programmable keys so they're what you

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

00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:09.520
abs keycaps naturally due to the cap on top of them and the standard qwerty keys

00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:13.600
are double shot keycaps and i want to show you guys something right here

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

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

00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:26.960
force i have seen drastically more keyboard twist in 10 keyless keyboards

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

00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:36.079
built quite well there's a metal plate throughout the entire thing so it weighs

00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:37.600
2.2 kilograms or 4.85 pounds that's a

00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:42.000
lot for a keyboard good for bashing zombies with or just staying where it's

00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:46.320
supposed to be on your desk they did however take some precautions in making

00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:50.159
it as compact as they could you can see compared to a standard keyboard there

00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:53.680
isn't this divide between the f keys and the normal qwerty keys they shrank that

00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:56.960
down whether that's a positive or a negative i'm not entirely sure

00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:59.840
personally i think my muscle memory would make it so that when i go to press

00:01:58.320 --> 00:02:04.560
escape i would end up pressing this macro key in the corner but you know

00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:08.160
making the macro keys at the very top actually more pressable it's probably a

00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:13.120
benefit for that so depends on you in terms of usability the switches are

00:02:10.399 --> 00:02:16.720
cherry mx blacks there's a usb pass-through port on the back of the

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

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

00:02:21.920 --> 00:02:27.440
not typing mode this keyboard was just announced at the show and will probably

00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:33.000
be available through amazon but just in case you can get it at dsi keyboards.com

00:02:30.640 --> 00:02:38.959
the backlit version will cost 340. and the non-backlit version will

00:02:35.440 --> 00:02:41.920
cost 280 290 around there next up we

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

00:02:43.920 --> 00:02:52.000
ip68 rated keyboard meaning that it can be submerged in up to 1.5 meters of

00:02:49.519 --> 00:02:55.120
water for 30 minutes but they don't know the maximum depth that it could be

00:02:53.440 --> 00:02:58.879
submerged for because it's made for like spills and stuff not

00:02:56.959 --> 00:03:04.080
actually gaming underwater they did say however that it can be under water to

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

00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:12.560
and features double shot injected keycaps and backlighting the back

00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:16.959
lighting is four different colors across the board not RGB leds but there is

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

00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:25.840
mode it's in we have experienced a couple glitches

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

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

00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:37.120
any problem so if you spill stuff on your keyboard maybe don't like

00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:40.720
pour the water into the top of the keycaps and you'll probably be fine it

00:03:39.200 --> 00:03:45.599
does also feature an actually pretty nice colored metal top but there is a

00:03:43.760 --> 00:03:48.640
little bit of flex actually a fair amount of flex it is a 30 dollar

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

00:03:50.720 --> 00:03:57.519
that you're shopping for it features an optical switch i have not personally

00:03:54.879 --> 00:04:01.920
seen before manufactured by a taiwanese company called everlight other notable

00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:05.280
features is that there's RGB lighting along the sides of the keyboards which

00:04:03.920 --> 00:04:09.599
is pretty cool it's only two milliseconds of delay and this metal

00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:14.480
plate comes in either black or blue it will be available on alibaba or

00:04:11.760 --> 00:04:19.040
bbr86.com so cool there's a keyboard that you can

00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:21.919
use literally underwater i'm typing right now and i can see it on the screen

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

00:04:24.880 --> 00:04:30.880
our sponsor group renault for sponsoring this video Linus went to go check out

00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:34.880
their symbios car in france not that long ago and he was able to experience

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

00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:42.160
drive he just used his laptop while he was sitting there and it drove him down

00:04:40.320 --> 00:04:45.680
real roads in france with other cars on it really cool there's also tons of

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

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

00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:55.600
you liked it dislike it if you dislike it get subscribed all that fun stuff and

00:04:54.320 --> 00:05:01.120
i already said i'll see you next time so i guess uh i don't really have anything else to

00:04:58.080 --> 00:05:01.120
say bye
