1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,680
there are two kinds of companies followers

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:10,719
and leaders some keyboard manufacturers approach the

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:16,240
problem of ergonomics by taking your standard qwerty keyboard and sprinkling

4
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:19,279
in a little bend here and some separation there

5
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:24,400
but leaders they have true courage they use

6
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:29,279
first principles thinking to build new products from the ground up

7
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:34,079
and the safe type keyboard turns the whole idea of a keyboard

8
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:37,920
on its side and then down normal

9
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:40,600
and then on its other side but is this

10
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:48,879
290 dollar command center the answer to

11
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:52,480
your rsi cries or are these guys coming

12
00:00:48,879 --> 00:00:53,540
at this from completely the wrong

13
00:00:52,480 --> 00:01:00,480
angle

14
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:06,640
cooler master's 25th anniversary edition

15
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:13,360
cosmos 2 features a unique dual curved tempered glass side panel

16
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:15,840
check it out now at the link below

17
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:21,200
okay let's just get this out of the way the safe types layout is pretty

18
00:01:18,479 --> 00:01:27,920
unconventional the alpha portion of the keyboard has been split into two equal

19
00:01:24,159 --> 00:01:31,520
halves and rotated making it the most

20
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:34,400
3d keyboard we've ever tested more about

21
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:38,159
why in a moment first let's look at the third section which contains the cursor

22
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:44,560
controls a number pad and media buttons

23
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:50,720
and some of these are super handy what a great use of otherwise empty middle

24
00:01:47,439 --> 00:01:53,759
space i'm looking at you kinesis just be

25
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:56,720
careful to not accidentally hit the

26
00:01:53,759 --> 00:02:00,799
shutdown hotkey during the season finale of scrapyard wars

27
00:01:58,479 --> 00:02:06,320
let's get this out of the way early too this thing looks

28
00:02:02,479 --> 00:02:09,039
weird but it's actually a lot faster to

29
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:15,120
get used to than you'd probably think all of the keys are in their usual at

30
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:18,160
least relatively speaking usual spots

31
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:21,040
and the f and j keys are even bumpier

32
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:27,200
than normal to help keep you anchored on the home row the only kind of novel key

33
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:29,360
placement is the extra backspace key

34
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:33,680
that shifts all the workload from your right pinky to being able to split it

35
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:38,400
with your left thumb and the thumbs up for that one

36
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:41,440
another thing that looks weird but is

37
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:44,720
for a reason is the legend

38
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:47,200
why are some of the symbols all rotaty

39
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:50,879
and backwards well

40
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:56,319
hold on to your carpels my friends because although safe type recommends

41
00:02:53,440 --> 00:03:02,319
that users be proficient touch typists before purchasing one of their keyboards

42
00:02:58,959 --> 00:03:04,879
and we agree you really cannot see what

43
00:03:02,319 --> 00:03:09,120
the heck you're pressing from a natural position

44
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:11,840
they realize that some keys are used so

45
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:18,000
infrequently that it might help to be able to take a peek at them and that is

46
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:20,720
why they include this high vis vest and

47
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:25,920
hard hat in the box for the dedicated spotter that you'll need to help you

48
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:31,120
find your way around forward down almost go keep going go

49
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:33,200
just kidding the real solution is

50
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:36,640
the keycaps with the reversed lettering and

51
00:03:34,239 --> 00:03:40,959
built-in rear-view mirrors obviously they're adjustable so you can

52
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:47,200
aim them at the function and number keys or my favorite the control and alt keys

53
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:51,120
so you can still do all your favorite power moves but like this

54
00:03:49,599 --> 00:03:54,799
not like this power moves like this

55
00:03:52,879 --> 00:04:00,319
pro tip you can actually also use them to keep an eye out for your boss during

56
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:02,159
not safe for work lunch breaks but let's

57
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:06,480
get seriously here what the hell were they thinking

58
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:11,920
designing a keyboard like this well it turns out that there are three damaging

59
00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:15,599
postures associated with typical keyboard use

60
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:20,239
ulnar deviation which happens when your wrists go like this

61
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:23,600
extension which is when your wrists do that

62
00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:28,160
and pronation which is when your hands are like oh

63
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:34,320
okay that last one actually doesn't look that bad but it actually causes the two

64
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:37,280
major bones in your forearms to scissor

65
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:42,639
pinching nerves and blood vessels safety claims to address all of these

66
00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:47,120
issues without transferring the stress to other parts of your body like the

67
00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:50,960
neck and shoulders i say

68
00:04:48,479 --> 00:04:57,120
your mileage may vary somewhat because depending on some other factors you may

69
00:04:54,240 --> 00:05:01,600
actually end up in a worse posture than you would have with your good

70
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:04,720
old-fashioned 104 key because here's the thing

71
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:08,639
it's clear that the vertical hand position is going to keep your arms from

72
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:13,120
pronating so scratch that one off the list

73
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:18,400
but ulnar deviation that depends more on your desk setup if

74
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:21,680
it's too high your wrists are going to be above your elbows

75
00:05:20,479 --> 00:05:25,919
no good and if you can't lower your desk what

76
00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:29,680
you're going to have to do is raise your chair

77
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:33,280
i ended up with my feet dangling also not ideal

78
00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:37,360
on the bright side you can solve that with a couple of blocks under the back

79
00:05:35,039 --> 00:05:42,160
of the board so maybe a v2 will come with feet but uh it's not something

80
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:48,479
that's included in the box and finally as for extension safety says

81
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:52,960
the most orthopedically neutral position is achieved by starting with your arms

82
00:05:50,639 --> 00:05:58,240
at your sides and then using only your biceps to lift the arms until they're

83
00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:04,000
perpendicular to the ground but then you've got to hold your arms up like

84
00:06:01,039 --> 00:06:09,120
that the whole time you're typing who wants to do that i'd probably end up

85
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:14,560
with my elbows on the chair's armrests after two minutes and that's just gonna

86
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:19,919
bend my wrists more so it is this ergonomic keyboard for you

87
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:22,400
well if you have the right setup like a

88
00:06:19,919 --> 00:06:27,120
standing desk or one with a dropped keyboard tray then the health benefits

89
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:31,199
could be real but the membrane key switches are pretty mushy

90
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:37,840
moving your hand from the outside to the inside is crazy inefficient and the

91
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:41,039
build quality is average

92
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:42,880
for like 15 years ago it kind of comes

93
00:06:41,039 --> 00:06:49,280
down to whether you want to invest the extra 60 dollars and the learning time

94
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,960
into an advantage to or if you need an

95
00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:55,520
ergonomic keyboard that you can type proficiently on right this minute i mean

96
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:59,280
it's got a 30-day money-back guarantee it works on Windows and mac is available

97
00:06:57,280 --> 00:07:03,039
in north america and europe so you know why am i even bothering with this

98
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:08,880
conclusion just go [ __ ] it go for it it's just money like whatever it's after

99
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,880
six it's time to go home

100
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:18,000
