WEBVTT 00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:13.519 the bit Phoenix prodig GM is Compact and ready for anything click now to learn 00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:17.760 more welcome to kind of a cheating unboxing this is the Corsair Raptor k30 00:00:16.080 --> 00:00:22.600 I do have a box and there is a keyboard inside but I have definitely already 00:00:20.240 --> 00:00:25.480 taken it out of the box so inside you will find the keyboard of course the 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 00:00:28.599 --> 00:00:34.680 in plastic or something you also find uh 00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:37.520 a warranty guide as well as a quick start guide but quite frankly if you 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 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 00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:48.600 guide no I'm just kidding uh the USB plug goes into the computer and then 00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:52.079 don't worry about it too much beyond that now what does the k30 do 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 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 00:01:02.519 --> 00:01:08.200 we lost a previous shot cuz I said key caps it has membrane key switches versus 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 00:01:12.320 --> 00:01:18.880 also has plastic construction so even though You' still got that same two-tone 00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:23.240 sort of sleek looking finish with the black uh with the back black base plate 00:01:21.119 --> 00:01:26.680 and the silver top it is all made of plastic on this particular model and 00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:30.520 you've only got a single color of backlight although at this price it is 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 00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:37.399 six levels of Illumination and it doesn't have quite as many banks of 00:01:36.119 --> 00:01:41.560 macro Keys as some of the higher-end keyboards although I personally find 00:01:39.399 --> 00:01:45.479 this to be enough because particularly if you're gaming on WD can you really 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 00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:53.560 have three different layers of functionality for them with the m Keys 00:01:51.880 --> 00:01:58.200 up at the top you've got a Windows lock key brightness adjust dedicated key so 00:01:55.799 --> 00:02:02.439 no function nonsense for that you've also got dedicated media keys although I 00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:06.960 really wish that they'd found a way to implement their volume scroll bar 00:02:05.240 --> 00:02:10.679 instead of just volume buttons like they have on their higher end keyboards 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 00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:17.560 keyboard layout and if there was one thing that I was going to say is a 00:02:15.200 --> 00:02:22.560 little bit funny about this one uh you've got colorcoded WD which is normal 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 00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:31.599 necessarily as optimized for typing where you'd expect the space bar to be 00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:36.160 more flat but it is definitely more comfortable if you have a more relaxed 00:02:33.640 --> 00:02:40.120 WD position on the keyboard this isn't something that Corsair markets but you 00:02:37.959 --> 00:02:43.640 can actually see the entire bottom row has that curvature to it which isn't 00:02:41.760 --> 00:02:47.440 something that you would normally find on a keyboard it does feature anti- 00:02:45.640 --> 00:02:51.000 ghosting technology so while it's not you know n key rollover or anything like 00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:55.239 that uh you're not going to be running into issues normal in in normal use 00:02:53.720 --> 00:03:00.159 where you're pressing buttons and you're having random extra keystrokes generated 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 00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:08.159 bottom uh unfortunately no rubber feet are built into the little standup pieces 00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:12.239 however these two at the bottom are quite large and robust so you shouldn't 00:03:09.720 --> 00:03:16.319 have too much difficulty with that and finally of course there's the onboard 00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:19.760 memory so that means that once you've set up these Advanced macro keys and 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 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:28.400 would happen to use it on or if you reformat or whatever else because it 00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:31.599 will be stored on the memory built into the keyboard so thank you for checking
