more welcome to kind of a cheating unboxing this is the Corsair Raptor k30
I do have a box and there is a keyboard inside but I have definitely already
taken it out of the box so inside you will find the keyboard of course the
presentation of yours will be a little bit better cuz your box won't be ripped and your keyboard will be like wrapped
in plastic or something you also find uh
a warranty guide as well as a quick start guide but quite frankly if you
need a quick start guide for a keyboard then here let me help you this is a USB
port no this isn't a port this is a plug maybe I should check the quick start
guide no I'm just kidding uh the USB plug goes into the computer and then
don't worry about it too much beyond that now what does the k30 do
differently than the other corar keyboards well number one is that it is more value conscious which is to say
it's cheaper it's less expensive it has membrane key c key caps I did it to Ken
we lost a previous shot cuz I said key caps it has membrane key switches versus
mechanical key switches which are what you'll find on Corsair's higher-end keyboards like the k70 or the k95 it
also has plastic construction so even though You' still got that same two-tone
sort of sleek looking finish with the black uh with the back black base plate
and the silver top it is all made of plastic on this particular model and
you've only got a single color of backlight although at this price it is
actually kind of nice to see a backlight at all so it has a red backlight with
six levels of Illumination and it doesn't have quite as many banks of
macro Keys as some of the higher-end keyboards although I personally find
this to be enough because particularly if you're gaming on WD can you really
reach over to a second or a Third Bank of macro keys I kind of doubt it and you
have three different layers of functionality for them with the m Keys
up at the top you've got a Windows lock key brightness adjust dedicated key so
no function nonsense for that you've also got dedicated media keys although I
really wish that they'd found a way to implement their volume scroll bar
instead of just volume buttons like they have on their higher end keyboards
that's kind of unfortunate it is not a 10 keyless model so you have the full
keyboard layout and if there was one thing that I was going to say is a
little bit funny about this one uh you've got colorcoded WD which is normal
but see this the space bar actually has a bit of an angle to it so it is not
necessarily as optimized for typing where you'd expect the space bar to be
more flat but it is definitely more comfortable if you have a more relaxed
WD position on the keyboard this isn't something that Corsair markets but you
can actually see the entire bottom row has that curvature to it which isn't
something that you would normally find on a keyboard it does feature anti-
ghosting technology so while it's not you know n key rollover or anything like
that uh you're not going to be running into issues normal in in normal use
where you're pressing buttons and you're having random extra keystrokes generated
and okay we can flip it around to the bottom where you have rubber feet on the
bottom uh unfortunately no rubber feet are built into the little standup pieces
however these two at the bottom are quite large and robust so you shouldn't
have too much difficulty with that and finally of course there's the onboard
memory so that means that once you've set up these Advanced macro keys and
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
would happen to use it on or if you reformat or whatever else because it
will be stored on the memory built into the keyboard so thank you for checking
