1
00:00:00,030 --> 00:00:07,109
I'm in a mood today look at this thing it's a little suitcase you can travel

2
00:00:04,859 --> 00:00:11,969
with it it's hard kind of like a head phone case and what do you get inside a

3
00:00:10,849 --> 00:00:18,900
keyboard not just any keyboard a compact gaming

4
00:00:16,770 --> 00:00:24,300
keyboard that splits in half it's an ergonomic gaming keyboard get

5
00:00:22,500 --> 00:00:28,199
used to it this is the world we live in now you also get big my stickers I'm

6
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:33,270
gonna probably stick this to the back of Jake's chair later a combined key cap

7
00:00:30,570 --> 00:00:37,200
puller and key switch puller oh and it's branded - that's cool little jelly logo

8
00:00:35,610 --> 00:00:41,579
in there more about this thing later wrist pads they look like they're

9
00:00:39,239 --> 00:00:44,730
adhesive the website says these are removable and washable

10
00:00:42,989 --> 00:00:49,879
I don't know how removable they're gonna be if they adhesive but we can try we

11
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:55,050
got a bunch of tester key switches because this puppy not only comes in one

12
00:00:53,129 --> 00:00:58,829
of seven different key switch varieties but also has removable key switches I

13
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:03,180
don't really get why they included these though because as far as I can tell they

14
00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:08,840
don't sell key switches on their own and if you're testing these you already

15
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:11,640
ordered one and kind of committed so

16
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:14,760
whatever it's still nice maybe they just put it in there for symmetry

17
00:01:12,869 --> 00:01:21,240
I don't know then you've got the cables there USBC they're braided the reason

18
00:01:19,229 --> 00:01:28,310
there's so many is because you get one per side then you connect each of those

19
00:01:25,259 --> 00:01:32,430
to this little thing which they call the

20
00:01:28,310 --> 00:01:35,340
neuron which I love I love when products

21
00:01:32,430 --> 00:01:41,030
have like lore that's sick so it's basic a little splitter it's USBC on all sides

22
00:01:37,850 --> 00:01:43,200
this is a pretty decent case and it's

23
00:01:41,030 --> 00:01:48,390
it's easy enough to use I might actually use this if I was on the go back to the

24
00:01:45,090 --> 00:01:51,750
neuron you connect the keyboard boy I

25
00:01:48,390 --> 00:01:55,680
did wrong thusly then you've got a USBC

26
00:01:51,750 --> 00:01:58,409
to type a cable and I mean sees great

27
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:02,969
but your PC probably doesn't have that many seaports so it's probably good that

28
00:02:00,869 --> 00:02:08,099
this is a if you wanted this to be a CDC cable then why not just swap it out

29
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:13,000
since this whole thing is modular oh and it's RGB I'll tell you about that right

30
00:02:10,619 --> 00:02:17,650
after this message from our sponsor now the manscaped haha manscape created the

31
00:02:15,700 --> 00:02:22,420

40
00:02:51,850 --> 00:02:59,170
at the link below or on manscape comm no

41
00:02:55,030 --> 00:03:00,760
back to the it's full RGB on the top you

42
00:02:59,170 --> 00:03:05,590
can cycle through different effects using this branded button over here and

43
00:03:02,739 --> 00:03:10,540
the sickest thing I love that can you see this the neuron changes color to it

44
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:15,430
isn't that great that is just one of those nice touches you know thank you

45
00:03:13,690 --> 00:03:21,640
attention to detail you can operate this keyboard either as a conventional QWERTY

46
00:03:18,610 --> 00:03:24,040
like that or split apart or more

47
00:03:21,640 --> 00:03:29,590
ergonomics so you can have it tilted like this so that you reduce what's

48
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:34,630
called ulnar deviation in the ergonomic keyboard world there's basically three

49
00:03:30,989 --> 00:03:36,519
three or four kind of nemec's that

50
00:03:34,630 --> 00:03:39,400
you're trying to squash one of them being ulnar deviation which is when

51
00:03:37,959 --> 00:03:43,060
you're risking like that a lot of keyboards you'll find yourself kind of

52
00:03:41,100 --> 00:03:47,680
kind of ended up going like that a little bit so splitting that apart

53
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:52,090
totally reduces that you can angle them if you want which is what I do a little

54
00:03:49,150 --> 00:03:55,630
bit it also gets your arms to be in line with your shoulders more so instead of

55
00:03:53,470 --> 00:04:01,750
being really together you can go wide like that which is sweet you could even

56
00:03:58,750 --> 00:04:04,410
be gaming and just pull one of these out

57
00:04:01,750 --> 00:04:09,130
of the equation and just have your mouse wide-open death space and your keyboard

58
00:04:07,030 --> 00:04:15,070
like that this okay I think this is a table issue this isn't keyboard issue the other

59
00:04:12,220 --> 00:04:17,769
enemy of ergonomics is extension which is when your wrist goes up like that

60
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:22,030
that would be flexion this is extension this is neutral that's what you want so

61
00:04:19,989 --> 00:04:24,039
that's where wrist pads come in oh yeah that's cool it says dig marae's right on

62
00:04:23,740 --> 00:04:31,360
it did I say this thing's name it's the dig morees keyboard yeah welcome to the show ah get

63
00:04:28,900 --> 00:04:37,000
those boarders lined up it's a nice kind of leatherette very firm I don't see how

64
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:40,600
this is removable like oh yeah I'm sure I could remove it but could I put it

65
00:04:38,290 --> 00:04:44,680
back on and still be sticky out this keyboard is also available in silver or

66
00:04:42,639 --> 00:04:51,130
white so as far as extension goes this is a really low profile keyboard it's

67
00:04:47,230 --> 00:04:52,780
not very tall on the side so especially

68
00:04:51,130 --> 00:04:58,960
especially with the wrist pads on my wrist is pretty much totally neutral so

69
00:04:56,710 --> 00:05:03,160
that's nice the third enemy of ergonomics is pronation and this

70
00:05:01,570 --> 00:05:06,490
keyboard doesn't really address that at all so what pronation is this is

71
00:05:05,740 --> 00:05:11,470
supination this is pronation when you pronate your

72
00:05:09,070 --> 00:05:15,669
hand like this you've got two bones in your ARM the radius and the ulna when

73
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:19,930
you pronate they actually criss cross each other they scissor each other when

74
00:05:17,530 --> 00:05:23,970
they do that they pinch tissue in your forearm and that can kind of make blood

75
00:05:21,970 --> 00:05:28,300
not go into it as easily so you can get allegedly some kind of our sis from

76
00:05:26,229 --> 00:05:32,650
pronation I find that now that I do use a keyboard solution where I'm not

77
00:05:29,919 --> 00:05:37,960
pronated when I go back I actually feel it pretty soon pretty quickly so what

78
00:05:35,890 --> 00:05:42,070
other keyboards of this design do is they'll have like a tenting kit some

79
00:05:40,390 --> 00:05:47,350
kind of legs on them either built-in or screw it on where you can adjust the

80
00:05:44,140 --> 00:05:49,300
height this way this doesn't have

81
00:05:47,350 --> 00:05:52,510
anything integrated into it and as far as I can tell there's nothing sold

82
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:56,890
separately so you are left with flat that is kind of the spirit of this thing

83
00:05:54,430 --> 00:06:02,020
it's not a full-on ergonomic keyboard it is a gaming keyboard with economic

84
00:05:59,229 --> 00:06:07,229
features built into it so for example another thing that you don't see on this

85
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:09,820
keyboard is an ortho linear layout

86
00:06:07,229 --> 00:06:13,270
instead you have the regular layout for the keys that are staggered this is just

87
00:06:11,770 --> 00:06:17,410
looks like a regular keyboard right on a lots of economic boards these rows of

88
00:06:15,220 --> 00:06:21,520
keys would be completely vertical it's again a portable keyboard so you don't

89
00:06:19,570 --> 00:06:25,900
have any F keys which is kind of the pain for me you don't have any arrow

90
00:06:23,260 --> 00:06:29,500
keys some ergonomic keyboards will have arrow keys but they'll be split up

91
00:06:27,430 --> 00:06:33,580
that's annoying to me I want them all in one spot cuz I've got years and years of

92
00:06:31,330 --> 00:06:37,990
training maybe you worked in retail and you're used to just going bump up on it

93
00:06:35,650 --> 00:06:41,620
on the arrow keys like an excel you don't want to lose that on this if you

94
00:06:40,210 --> 00:06:45,130
want to maintain that you're gonna have to just use a different layer and

95
00:06:43,810 --> 00:06:50,229
probably them on I'll talk about their keys which we will talk about later there's these thumb buttons over here

96
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:55,330
there are eight thumb buttons I love organ AMA keyboards with thumb

97
00:06:53,020 --> 00:06:59,050
clusters that's probably the strength of this keyboard if it didn't have those

98
00:06:56,710 --> 00:07:02,680
rows if this was just a split spacebar this would this keyboard would be way

99
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:07,240
less cool to me I like use the thumb clusters for backspace and delete which

100
00:07:05,380 --> 00:07:12,010
are normally you know back faces way up here deletes way over here instead on

101
00:07:10,270 --> 00:07:16,270
mine I just I allocate them both to a thumb I put and enter over here for my

102
00:07:14,289 --> 00:07:20,199
thumb so that I can be using my mouse and hit enter with my left hand without

103
00:07:18,789 --> 00:07:24,250
having to move my hand way over the keyboard that's awesome I found that

104
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:28,360
when you split it up it takes longer to get accustomed to this keyboard and like

105
00:07:26,470 --> 00:07:32,740
you know grope your way around in the dark because these keyboard these keys

106
00:07:30,010 --> 00:07:36,610
are just not the same one's a little wider than the other one and I get why

107
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:42,039
you've just got more buttons on this side than this side so they had to make

108
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:46,660
up the room somewhere but a slight

109
00:07:42,039 --> 00:07:47,860
demerit 0.3 off for that you satisfied

110
00:07:46,660 --> 00:07:53,110
that David that makes sense to you and your rating system yes as far as the

111
00:07:50,710 --> 00:07:57,849
build quality goes you can kind of even see that this is very convenient and

112
00:07:54,910 --> 00:07:59,950
functional but it does sag however is that even a problem

113
00:07:58,930 --> 00:08:04,960
because when you put it on the table it's flat and the the downward force

114
00:08:02,139 --> 00:08:08,050
it's not sagging as I as I smashed the middle compared to the outside of it I

115
00:08:06,610 --> 00:08:14,020
think it's a non-issue normally I would pick up the keyboard you can go like this to test the deck flex the fact that

116
00:08:11,050 --> 00:08:17,919
it has this rail system is kind of known for the affair test and then if I was

117
00:08:16,479 --> 00:08:22,479
gonna test the deck flex of just one side now it's so small that again it's

118
00:08:20,050 --> 00:08:27,099
not very fair but it doesn't flex much anyway because it has this nice like

119
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:31,660
double anodized faceplate which is pretty cool the back this is also metal

120
00:08:29,650 --> 00:08:37,060
so yeah this is gonna be a rigid port anyway the key caps are nice the light

121
00:08:34,599 --> 00:08:42,669
shines through web they appear to be yeah they're double-shot injected which

122
00:08:40,060 --> 00:08:46,320
means there's no way for this symbol to rub off because it's actually just a

123
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:50,580
different layer of plastic it's not there or anything like that the switches

124
00:08:47,820 --> 00:08:55,290
are removable which is wicked because if you're not a fan of the three different

125
00:08:53,220 --> 00:08:59,610
varieties of cherry that they put this board with or the four kales that you

126
00:08:57,780 --> 00:09:03,870
options you can get you can put whatever you want in there you can put tea leo's

127
00:09:01,110 --> 00:09:07,410
in there tangerines or our halos or any of those other awesome

128
00:09:05,010 --> 00:09:12,600
key switches that we tried in our blind key switch challenge back at LTT that

129
00:09:09,630 --> 00:09:16,740
was sick but it comes with cherry Reds on our board which I mean makes it hard

130
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:22,410
for me to test this to point out cus I don't like the videos key cap stability

131
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:25,920
I mean when I look it doesn't feel too bad but when I look at it some of these

132
00:09:24,030 --> 00:09:31,680
ones especially these non-standard keys for which they probably had to build

133
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:34,080
prepared for pride Terry jigs they look

134
00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:39,150
a little off-kilter some of them like it's not perfectly symmetrical now let's

135
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:44,070
talk about software this is a big deal for atomic keyboards usually when I get

136
00:09:41,670 --> 00:09:48,120
a new keyboard like this I spend the first two days trying to figure out how

137
00:09:45,780 --> 00:09:51,960
I want to configured and so that means it's nice to have a tool that makes it

138
00:09:49,710 --> 00:09:55,110
easy for you to configure so that you can go through lots of iterations

139
00:09:53,100 --> 00:09:59,220
because it'll probably take it for me it takes like 10 different tries but dig ma

140
00:09:57,270 --> 00:10:04,080
makes it easy they have a graphical configurator tool you can go key config

141
00:10:02,700 --> 00:10:08,580
it shows you all the different options and they're all organized in a logical

142
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:13,890
manner it's descriptive I know what it's all gonna do you can do all sorts of

143
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:15,660
like there's a toggle switch to indicate

144
00:10:13,890 --> 00:10:19,430
whether or not you want this action to be something that toggles or has to be

145
00:10:17,430 --> 00:10:25,110
held you can do up to 10 different layers or profiles which are all saved

146
00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:28,110
on device so I even had this experience today I unplug this from my desktop

147
00:10:26,700 --> 00:10:31,560
we're doing most of my testing plugged into laptop my layout was still there

148
00:10:30,090 --> 00:10:34,440
and you really want all those layers especially on a compact board like this

149
00:10:33,210 --> 00:10:38,760
where you're gonna be putting the numpad or the arrow keys right underneath

150
00:10:36,750 --> 00:10:42,300
existing keys so it's nice to have the flexibility another thing that's cool is

151
00:10:40,470 --> 00:10:47,010
that you and I don't even know if I've seen this is there's RGB functionality

152
00:10:45,570 --> 00:10:52,380
in the configurator tool so you can actually click not only each key but

153
00:10:50,340 --> 00:10:57,390
also each one of these little segments of the underglow each one of these

154
00:10:54,150 --> 00:10:59,100
little puppies can be adjusted and you

155
00:10:57,390 --> 00:11:04,740
can pick any color from the rainbow of this color wheel over here or you can adjust them all globally

156
00:11:02,700 --> 00:11:09,600
and then when I cycle through my lights I have a new profile on here which I

157
00:11:07,650 --> 00:11:13,680
made that you can see where I did this half and half ago orange over here and

158
00:11:11,310 --> 00:11:20,100
purple over here pretty cool alright let's see how much this thing weighs

159
00:11:17,150 --> 00:11:24,990
eight hundred and twenty four grams it's not the heaviest thing out there it's

160
00:11:21,420 --> 00:11:26,760
not that light not bad so how much does

161
00:11:24,990 --> 00:11:32,390
it cost this thing is under three hundred ollars right now three dollars is a lot for keyboard it's

162
00:11:30,450 --> 00:11:36,510
not a lot for what you're getting here you're getting a pretty decent account

163
00:11:34,500 --> 00:11:41,790
for keyboard you're getting RGB you're getting this novel design you're getting

164
00:11:40,020 --> 00:11:46,860
a lot of flexibility with this board in terms of form factor in terms of

165
00:11:44,610 --> 00:11:53,070
configuration if you're the target customer of this board a gamer who moves

166
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:57,360
desks at least once in a while and wants organ Amish stuff especially if you're

167
00:11:54,810 --> 00:12:02,820
if you get shoulder pain then this might be the board you've been waiting for

168
00:11:59,690 --> 00:12:05,490
there are other boards out there like

169
00:12:02,820 --> 00:12:09,240
this for example Kinesis has a splitview I think it's called the edge I don't

170
00:12:07,500 --> 00:12:13,680
think that one has thumb clusters to this extent and it's definitely not as

171
00:12:11,610 --> 00:12:18,570
cool and the fit and finish isn't as good their board so it's just a little

172
00:12:16,020 --> 00:12:25,020
more in the feeling even though they're a big company this this feels like a

173
00:12:21,450 --> 00:12:27,750
Corsair board you know pretty much there

174
00:12:25,020 --> 00:12:30,480
so I do recommend this board I think it's pretty cool I wouldn't use because

175
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:35,610
I don't want the F keys and I use Excel I like to use the arrow keys but if I

176
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:39,930
wanted a compact gaming board that I could take that eSports tournament I would get this board it's pretty sweet

177
00:12:38,370 --> 00:12:44,730
