1 00:00:06,919 --> 00:00:13,519 the bit Phoenix prodig GM is Compact and ready for anything click now to learn 2 00:00:11,519 --> 00:00:17,760 more welcome to kind of a cheating unboxing this is the Corsair Raptor k30 3 00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:22,600 I do have a box and there is a keyboard inside but I have definitely already 4 00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:25,480 taken it out of the box so inside you will find the keyboard of course the 5 00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:32,399 presentation of yours will be a little bit better cuz your box won't be ripped and your keyboard will be like wrapped 6 00:00:28,599 --> 00:00:34,680 in plastic or something you also find uh 7 00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:37,520 a warranty guide as well as a quick start guide but quite frankly if you 8 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:42,039 need a quick start guide for a keyboard then here let me help you this is a USB 9 00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:45,079 port no this isn't a port this is a plug maybe I should check the quick start 10 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:48,600 guide no I'm just kidding uh the USB plug goes into the computer and then 11 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:52,079 don't worry about it too much beyond that now what does the k30 do 12 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:58,160 differently than the other corar keyboards well number one is that it is more value conscious which is to say 13 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:04,360 it's cheaper it's less expensive it has membrane key c key caps I did it to Ken 14 00:01:02,519 --> 00:01:08,200 we lost a previous shot cuz I said key caps it has membrane key switches versus 15 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:14,720 mechanical key switches which are what you'll find on Corsair's higher-end keyboards like the k70 or the k95 it 16 00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:18,880 also has plastic construction so even though You' still got that same two-tone 17 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:23,240 sort of sleek looking finish with the black uh with the back black base plate 18 00:01:21,119 --> 00:01:26,680 and the silver top it is all made of plastic on this particular model and 19 00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:30,520 you've only got a single color of backlight although at this price it is 20 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:34,799 actually kind of nice to see a backlight at all so it has a red backlight with 21 00:01:32,439 --> 00:01:37,399 six levels of Illumination and it doesn't have quite as many banks of 22 00:01:36,119 --> 00:01:41,560 macro Keys as some of the higher-end keyboards although I personally find 23 00:01:39,399 --> 00:01:45,479 this to be enough because particularly if you're gaming on WD can you really 24 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:49,200 reach over to a second or a Third Bank of macro keys I kind of doubt it and you 25 00:01:47,799 --> 00:01:53,560 have three different layers of functionality for them with the m Keys 26 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:58,200 up at the top you've got a Windows lock key brightness adjust dedicated key so 27 00:01:55,799 --> 00:02:02,439 no function nonsense for that you've also got dedicated media keys although I 28 00:02:00,439 --> 00:02:06,960 really wish that they'd found a way to implement their volume scroll bar 29 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:10,679 instead of just volume buttons like they have on their higher end keyboards 30 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:13,599 that's kind of unfortunate it is not a 10 keyless model so you have the full 31 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:17,560 keyboard layout and if there was one thing that I was going to say is a 32 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:22,560 little bit funny about this one uh you've got colorcoded WD which is normal 33 00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:27,680 but see this the space bar actually has a bit of an angle to it so it is not 34 00:02:25,319 --> 00:02:31,599 necessarily as optimized for typing where you'd expect the space bar to be 35 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:36,160 more flat but it is definitely more comfortable if you have a more relaxed 36 00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:40,120 WD position on the keyboard this isn't something that Corsair markets but you 37 00:02:37,959 --> 00:02:43,640 can actually see the entire bottom row has that curvature to it which isn't 38 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:47,440 something that you would normally find on a keyboard it does feature anti- 39 00:02:45,640 --> 00:02:51,000 ghosting technology so while it's not you know n key rollover or anything like 40 00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:55,239 that uh you're not going to be running into issues normal in in normal use 41 00:02:53,720 --> 00:03:00,159 where you're pressing buttons and you're having random extra keystrokes generated 42 00:02:57,959 --> 00:03:04,040 and okay we can flip it around to the bottom where you have rubber feet on the 43 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:08,159 bottom uh unfortunately no rubber feet are built into the little standup pieces 44 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:12,239 however these two at the bottom are quite large and robust so you shouldn't 45 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:16,319 have too much difficulty with that and finally of course there's the onboard 46 00:03:14,599 --> 00:03:19,760 memory so that means that once you've set up these Advanced macro keys and 47 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:24,360 whatever else that you've set up on it you don't have to worry about installing the driver software on any PC that you 48 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:28,400 would happen to use it on or if you reformat or whatever else because it 49 00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:31,599 will be stored on the memory built into the keyboard so thank you for checking 50 00:03:30,120 -->
