1 00:00:00,260 --> 00:00:05,770 - Am HATSU, its future art community because it comes with an NFT, I guess. 2 00:00:05,770 --> 00:00:10,870 It's $1,600. Am intrigued, probably gonna be so stupid, but okay, 3 00:00:10,870 --> 00:00:15,790 I'll check it out. I really liked the little high-fiving paw thing from the company, what's it called? 4 00:00:15,790 --> 00:00:18,950 Something miao, term miao. - [Jono] Angry Miao. - Angry Miao. 5 00:00:18,950 --> 00:00:25,610 Okay, I went to their website, tried to scope this thing out ahead of time. There was nothing, there was barely anything on the website. 6 00:00:25,610 --> 00:00:29,020 So let's just look at it. I bet this is actually the case you get, 7 00:00:29,020 --> 00:00:34,170 not just like a reviewer case. Squishy, cool, fragrant, 8 00:00:34,170 --> 00:00:39,515 but in an off gassy kind of way. It's a split key ergonomic keyboard. 9 00:00:39,515 --> 00:00:43,160 And now this is garbage, thanks. 10 00:00:43,160 --> 00:00:46,997 Angry Miao. (James purring) 11 00:00:46,997 --> 00:00:51,333 To get these open a bit and then your generic plastic on the inside. 12 00:00:52,270 --> 00:00:55,533 They had to, to keep it food safe. They're kind of heavy, 13 00:00:55,533 --> 00:00:59,360 I was hoping they would be even heavier. Oh, it's kind of white. 14 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,710 So they made this with a 5-axis CNC machine 15 00:01:02,710 --> 00:01:05,770 and they think they're pretty cool for doing that. 16 00:01:05,770 --> 00:01:11,120 No one's ever done it before. Lots of thoughts immediately looking at this, but let's take our time here. 17 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,339 Let's not get ahead of ourselves, David. What is going on, 18 00:01:15,339 --> 00:01:19,910 there's a bunch of weird stuff happening. Like what are these? Is that gonna be RGB? 19 00:01:19,910 --> 00:01:23,250 This looks badass. You will be cool if you have this, 20 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,820 I didn't see an option on the website for choosing different key caps. 21 00:01:27,820 --> 00:01:32,000 I'm not sure everybody will like this kind of P green, 22 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,970 depending on the color of your P. The legend actually is, has two colors. 23 00:01:37,970 --> 00:01:42,970 If you see the bottom of the key caps, there's some extra, 24 00:01:43,260 --> 00:01:47,770 there's an extra legend for secondary functions, which is great, which is cool, it's subtle. 25 00:01:47,770 --> 00:01:53,690 Are these non-skid? Yeah, there's some feet. So even off of the LTT Store desk mat there's, 26 00:01:53,690 --> 00:01:59,240 yeah, sufficiently non-skid, how about that? Basically the only criteria my wife was interested in 27 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,840 when I proposed to her, is he sufficiently non-skid? 28 00:02:03,620 --> 00:02:07,340 No, I'm a skid. Whoa, I haven't actually touched these yet 29 00:02:07,340 --> 00:02:12,880 and they feel super like lacquered. They feel as shiny as they look, I'll say that. 30 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:17,960 You kind of got this keywell thing going on where it's concave in both dimensions, 31 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,590 which reminds me of the Kinesis Advantage2 Ergonomic Keyboard 32 00:02:21,590 --> 00:02:25,770 which itself was what $350 and that was expensive. 33 00:02:25,770 --> 00:02:29,600 This feels like it's heavier, it's metal and stuff. 34 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:34,440 So it's maybe higher quality than that, or at least more premium looking 35 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,490 but I'm not convinced yet that this is like more ergonomic solution 36 00:02:37,490 --> 00:02:42,608 or that they did more research than those other guys. Take note of this, what do you call this bed 37 00:02:42,608 --> 00:02:45,800 that they're all on? It's so cool and contoured, 38 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,440 it's definitely all 3D printed and that looks really badass. 39 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,490 This is a beautiful keywell, I'll say that. 40 00:02:52,490 --> 00:02:56,960 Now the reason this is split is so that your shoulders can be ergonomically placed. 41 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:02,470 You can be out like this or in, you don't have to be like this or your mouse ARM 42 00:03:02,470 --> 00:03:05,840 doesn't have to be way over here. So that's the deal with split. 43 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,550 It also reduces ulnar deviation, which is when your arms go like that, 44 00:03:09,550 --> 00:03:14,430 because you don't have to, if this was super close together you might be like this, but you don't have to be. 45 00:03:14,430 --> 00:03:18,740 You can just go like this and be super ergo. 46 00:03:18,740 --> 00:03:23,530 The website said nothing about what key switches this thing comes with. 47 00:03:23,530 --> 00:03:27,841 It's a bit weird to begin with because your pinky is higher up than your, than I'm used to. 48 00:03:27,841 --> 00:03:32,295 You can see that even on the home row, these keys are at different levels. 49 00:03:32,295 --> 00:03:35,720 The K key is lower, it's sunken deeper 50 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:41,060 than the J and L keys and that's because your middle finger typically is longer 51 00:03:41,060 --> 00:03:44,630 unless you're a psychopath or a genius. I don't know, I think there's a thing. 52 00:03:44,630 --> 00:03:47,910 Maybe women have different lengths or is it just the length of the ring finger? 53 00:03:47,910 --> 00:03:51,840 I don't know, I'm not an astrologer. Alls I know is my middle finger is longer 54 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:56,240 so that key is farther away. And then when you, by the time you get to the pinky, 55 00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:00,707 that will, the semi-colon key there is even higher. So it's a bit of a weird feeling. 56 00:04:00,707 --> 00:04:03,884 There is a little notch on the J key for home row, 57 00:04:03,884 --> 00:04:07,280 which is nice to have, 'cause I wouldn't be lost on this thing. 58 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,307 Feel a little foreign. The idea on this dimension though, 59 00:04:10,307 --> 00:04:16,820 the keys are all the same height basically and that's so when you, when your finger sweeps like that, 60 00:04:16,820 --> 00:04:21,330 you're reaching up, you're going back down, the key should be kind of within the same reach 61 00:04:21,330 --> 00:04:24,440 which is why they're curved like that. Next there's these thumb clusters. 62 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,892 I'm a huge fan of thumb clusters on my keyboard, on my desk, I have all the thumbs doing 63 00:04:28,892 --> 00:04:32,510 all sorts of different things. And it's actually not that different 64 00:04:32,510 --> 00:04:36,120 from what they've set up here. So they have for, I would say the main, 65 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,640 where would your thumb go by default. I guess they want your thumb to go here by default 66 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:45,590 which is Space and Enter. I personally would do Space and Backspace 67 00:04:45,590 --> 00:04:48,810 'cause I just backspace more than I Enter, 68 00:04:48,810 --> 00:04:52,773 but it's nice to have Enter. They do have both my main squad keys right here 69 00:04:52,773 --> 00:04:57,750 which I like, but then I don't really care about Control and Alt, those are a little farther away. 70 00:04:57,750 --> 00:05:01,920 System, Delete these dot buttons, who knows what they do. 71 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,269 They're all here. The thumb buttons are really nice because you do a lot of work with your thumbs 72 00:05:05,269 --> 00:05:09,487 and you should be able to split them out rather than just having your like one buttoned 73 00:05:09,487 --> 00:05:13,570 space bar down there, just doesn't make any sense like we have a normal keyboards. 74 00:05:13,570 --> 00:05:17,581 These are linear switches. - [Jono] They're called Icy Silver Switches. 75 00:05:17,581 --> 00:05:22,205 - Icy Silver Switches, it says right on here TTC. 76 00:05:22,205 --> 00:05:26,690 - [Jono] Along with TTC's technical support. - Yeah, okay, they're TTC switches. 77 00:05:26,690 --> 00:05:29,937 They're linear, I don't know why. This isn't a gaming keyboard 78 00:05:29,937 --> 00:05:35,420 as far as I can tell, it's an ergo keyboard. I would think tactile or clicky would be better. 79 00:05:35,420 --> 00:05:39,070 Although as far as like RSIs go, I guess linear is kind of better. 80 00:05:39,070 --> 00:05:43,190 I don't know for pure typist, linear is not usually the way they go, but they still okay. 81 00:05:43,190 --> 00:05:47,500 They drop that easy to press down. I'm gonna pretend that this Enter button is a space. 82 00:05:47,500 --> 00:05:48,333 How about that? 83 00:05:51,810 --> 00:05:55,450 Wow, the pinky, you could get used to this pretty quick. 84 00:05:55,450 --> 00:05:59,760 I think within a few days, you'd be pretty much up to speed. USB-C ports on the bottom. 85 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:04,856 Is this like an Apple mouse like you can't charge it unless it's plugged in and unusable? 86 00:06:04,856 --> 00:06:08,270 Let's plug in and check it out right after this message from our sponsor. 87 00:06:08,270 --> 00:06:11,995 Secretlab chairs are engineered to keep you incredibly comfortable for long hours at work 88 00:06:11,995 --> 00:06:16,450 or at play. Their new Titan Evo 2022 Chair keeps you feeling comfortable 89 00:06:16,450 --> 00:06:22,400 for longer hours with their four way lumber support, ultra comfortable line of different seat material and more. 90 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,950 All chairs come with up to a five-year extended warranty at a 49 day return policy. 91 00:06:26,950 --> 00:06:30,510 So head to the link in the description and checkout Secretlab chairs today. 92 00:06:30,510 --> 00:06:35,060 It's not a secret anymore. Now it's time to open another, oh, 93 00:06:35,060 --> 00:06:39,230 I was gonna do this with one hand but (James grunting) another box that I have. 94 00:06:39,230 --> 00:06:43,837 This is just a whole other ball of wax. Oh, it's actually just more keys guys. 95 00:06:43,837 --> 00:06:47,330 (people laughing) Just joking, oh, warning. 96 00:06:47,330 --> 00:06:50,253 This is also very fragrant in an off gassy way. 97 00:06:51,180 --> 00:06:56,180 It's a tablet, a mouse pad, desk mat, desk pad. 98 00:06:58,590 --> 00:07:00,363 First let's see the competition. 99 00:07:02,970 --> 00:07:06,530 This is a very basic desk pad 100 00:07:06,530 --> 00:07:11,230 with some cool blueprint looking schematics on it 101 00:07:11,230 --> 00:07:14,780 telling me where to place my key modules 102 00:07:14,780 --> 00:07:19,470 as well as the wireless charging area. So, it looks like they give you some latitude 103 00:07:19,470 --> 00:07:23,430 and being able to put your key modules along this axis 104 00:07:23,430 --> 00:07:27,720 and still have them wirelessly charge, which I guess makes the portal on the underside 105 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,420 a little more accessible, but still kind of lame. 106 00:07:31,420 --> 00:07:34,880 That's where they go. Then there's these over here. 107 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,573 I believe these are, hold on. Let's put this pip aside. 108 00:07:39,460 --> 00:07:43,829 Oh my God, (upbeat music) 109 00:07:45,810 --> 00:07:49,540 this obviously is meant to go on top of this, but it kind of just looks cooler without it, 110 00:07:49,540 --> 00:07:54,710 'cause this is almost like a, it's almost like a leather phone case. You got some doohickey at the top here 111 00:07:54,710 --> 00:07:58,270 and this would be where you would plug into your machine 112 00:07:58,270 --> 00:08:02,180 with a USB-C port. Non-skid bottom like the whole way. 113 00:08:02,180 --> 00:08:08,103 Yeah, that thing is pretty stable. And then a couple of peels, like these are basically the nipples of the product. 114 00:08:09,210 --> 00:08:12,957 Ooh, oh, what we're the only cable company in town? 115 00:08:12,957 --> 00:08:17,610 "South Park" guys. Did this even, I don't think it's, 116 00:08:17,610 --> 00:08:21,500 (James laughing) I don't think this even came with a cable, didn't even come with the charging cable. 117 00:08:21,500 --> 00:08:25,530 - [David] Are you kidding me? - Hold on, did I miss it? 118 00:08:25,530 --> 00:08:27,780 This is, this smells like an old banana peel. 119 00:08:29,030 --> 00:08:32,800 That is crazy. - [David] They're trying to be eco-friendly. - Activate, look at the lights. 120 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:37,060 Did you see that? - [David] I did. - There's a flourish? Does that mean I can just start wireless charging right now? 121 00:08:37,060 --> 00:08:42,390 'Cause my phone supports it. Boom! - [Jono] More light came on. 122 00:08:42,390 --> 00:08:45,987 - Over here? Ooh. - [Jono] It's on the other side. - Oh wow, this is (indistinct). 123 00:08:47,770 --> 00:08:52,130 So what's gonna happen to these little, I think these are light bars and I'm hoping 124 00:08:52,130 --> 00:08:56,050 they light up when I put this on here. Good, give me the RGB. 125 00:08:56,050 --> 00:09:00,350 Okay, you got some activity there. Oh, sick, there's like an under-glow. 126 00:09:00,350 --> 00:09:05,410 It's not, the light's not coming from where I thought, but right there that looks cool. 127 00:09:05,410 --> 00:09:08,630 So now we're charging. 5,000 milliampere-hours in each one. 128 00:09:08,630 --> 00:09:14,010 If I wanna extend the lifespan of those, I might unplug this mat once in a while 129 00:09:14,010 --> 00:09:17,130 because you don't wanna keep these charged at all times, 130 00:09:17,130 --> 00:09:20,390 but there's no switch on here, is there? Is there an off switch? 131 00:09:20,390 --> 00:09:25,293 If you want these to discharge, you have to just slide them off I guess, 132 00:09:26,170 --> 00:09:34,030 or unplug the whole thing. Currently there's another aspect of this which is these pucks, Cyber Coin designed by Angry Miao. 133 00:09:36,030 --> 00:09:41,660 No wire, yeah, we know you didn't even put it in the box. So that's gonna put it in this. 134 00:09:41,660 --> 00:09:45,100 Logitech Mouse sold separately. So that pops out. 135 00:09:45,100 --> 00:09:49,840 This goes in and now you, boom red. 136 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,200 Ah, she dead, she's dead, Jim. Now we know that these change color according 137 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:58,350 to battery life, that's nice. Can I just, how do I pair this thing? 138 00:09:58,350 --> 00:10:02,720 It doesn't come with a dongle. - [Jono] Bluetooth only I think. - Bluetooth only. 139 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:09,060 They talked about it being super low latency though. Hold Circle button + Tab for three seconds 140 00:10:09,060 --> 00:10:12,704 to start pairing. I don't know if it means any Circle button 141 00:10:12,704 --> 00:10:15,504 or we gonna see it blinking blue or something like that. 142 00:10:16,630 --> 00:10:20,830 Something's happening. They got a light down here. Oh, there it is, HATSU. 143 00:10:20,830 --> 00:10:24,231 Yeah, we're in baby, I'm in. Control + Tab, ah, new tab. 144 00:10:24,231 --> 00:10:28,180 (James laughing) I'm Pickle Rick. This might actually be easier for someone coming 145 00:10:28,180 --> 00:10:32,100 from a QWERTY keyboard 'cause I have like all sorts of raw muscle memory. 146 00:10:32,100 --> 00:10:35,260 I don't know if I wanna learn it. I don't love the feeling of this. 147 00:10:35,260 --> 00:10:38,950 Like these are very heavy so they, they have a decisive like bottoming out, 148 00:10:38,950 --> 00:10:42,803 that aspect of is pretty nice. I would like to have different switches on here. 149 00:10:42,803 --> 00:10:47,213 Is this thing hot-swappable? Can I pull that switch out. But look how wiggly that is. 150 00:10:47,213 --> 00:10:53,720 My God, they're all lighting up. Stop it James. I must've put it into like reprogram mode or something. 151 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,090 One thing that I don't like about ergo keyboards is that they're always so minimal. 152 00:10:57,090 --> 00:11:00,844 They don't have the F keys or a number pad often. 153 00:11:00,844 --> 00:11:05,160 And I'm not screwing around trying to learn how to go to the second function row. 154 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,670 I'm not pulling out Alt and going into here. I'm not doing that. 155 00:11:08,670 --> 00:11:13,490 So that is why I use the one that I have at my desk. It's like the only ergo keyboard I know of 156 00:11:13,490 --> 00:11:17,700 that has thumb clusters and a bunch of extra keys. So I guess it's not RGB. 157 00:11:17,700 --> 00:11:21,670 There's just this white backlight. Do I have any options for turning it up and down 158 00:11:21,670 --> 00:11:26,000 and changing the pattern? Is there a Function key, function? 159 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,000 Something I, look at that, 160 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,663 you wanna light up this half the keyboard, you got to press the Function key. 161 00:11:33,536 --> 00:11:36,800 (James vocalizing) Output power three watts, 162 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,870 wireless charging turns on when the battery is less than 85% 163 00:11:39,870 --> 00:11:43,930 and turns off when fully charged. There you go. You don't need to switch on here. 164 00:11:43,930 --> 00:11:49,520 All user input is error. It charges these when they're below 85, that's too much. 165 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,720 It should kick in at like 40, but and then stop at 75, that'd be better, but whatever. 166 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:58,040 I guess that's to make the compromise. So what if you don't wanna use this mat, you wanna charge them up and then peace out? 167 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,050 Well then you'd use a cable. Yeah, I stand by my earlier assessment. 168 00:12:02,050 --> 00:12:05,310 Long press the left Circle SKP for five seconds 169 00:12:05,310 --> 00:12:11,050 to turn off both sides. (upbeat music) 170 00:12:11,050 --> 00:12:14,910 No, that wouldn't turn it off. It says both sides. 171 00:12:14,910 --> 00:12:18,290 All right, whatever, moving on, you can turn off one side. 172 00:12:18,290 --> 00:12:22,273 Circle + P to view the current battery level on the side of the light bar. 173 00:12:24,470 --> 00:12:29,690 Right, is this even on right now? (James grunting) 174 00:12:29,690 --> 00:12:33,190 Why is this blinking? I can't type though. 175 00:12:33,190 --> 00:12:36,390 It's like you have to have them both on to work. 176 00:12:36,390 --> 00:12:41,270 I guess it's not paired anymore. It says it's connected. It has 65% battery life 177 00:12:41,270 --> 00:12:45,920 but she do not type, no. Well, I can't really get it working. 178 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:50,320 So I'm sorry. Wasn't gonna recommend you buy it anyway. 179 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,470 But here's a couple of other things to talk about. Why isn't there enough room for this mouse? 180 00:12:54,470 --> 00:12:57,950 You gotta have to go over here to have enough room for your mouse. 181 00:12:57,950 --> 00:13:01,100 That's not an issue but again, 182 00:13:01,100 --> 00:13:05,410 that means if you're gonna wanna charge it then you kind of have to do it while you're not using it. 183 00:13:05,410 --> 00:13:08,983 Unless I guess you can get as far as there, this is workable. 184 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,470 It's just clearly they didn't, like they wanted symmetry instead of a good design 185 00:13:14,470 --> 00:13:18,870 that accommodated a mouse. I would've liked hot-swappable switches. I would've liked something that worked. 186 00:13:18,870 --> 00:13:25,010 I would've liked the ability to customize the keys, at this price point, an online configurator tool 187 00:13:25,010 --> 00:13:28,080 would have been nice like the ErgoDox has, that one's awesome. 188 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:32,463 You wanna be able to customize this stuff, that's the thing with ergo and in wanting to be able to go as fast as you can. 189 00:13:32,463 --> 00:13:36,180 Like they've done an okay job with the basic layout 190 00:13:36,180 --> 00:13:39,900 they've given us, but it's kind of redundant. Why do we need so many Control and Alt on keys 191 00:13:39,900 --> 00:13:45,840 for the thumbs? We could have used those for some of the functions that instead are on second layers. 192 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:50,649 Of course you can remap any keyboard using free online tools, 193 00:13:50,649 --> 00:13:55,760 but they should definitely provide one. RGB I think a little more would be better. 194 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,461 These strips are cool, but I kind of wish it was over here as well and I thought those are gonna line up, they don't. 195 00:13:59,461 --> 00:14:03,070 I think that's just for connectivity. There's some kind of feature 196 00:14:03,070 --> 00:14:07,657 where you can have multiple Bluetooth devices connect to the thing. It's not clear to me how that works. 197 00:14:07,657 --> 00:14:12,730 There's no information in the guide about it. This thing shouldn't be $1,600. 198 00:14:12,730 --> 00:14:15,970 It should be like five to 600, even 600 I'd be like that's a lot. 199 00:14:15,970 --> 00:14:19,601 But ergo keyboards themselves are often three, $400. 200 00:14:19,601 --> 00:14:24,710 Then you've got this big charging mat. That's cool, that's like a power play in itself 201 00:14:24,710 --> 00:14:27,792 and those are a couple hundred dollars, aren't they? - [Jono] Yeah. - Like 150 or something. 202 00:14:27,792 --> 00:14:30,926 - [Jono] But it doesn't even come with a USB-C cable. - Doesn't even come with a USB-C cable, 203 00:14:30,926 --> 00:14:34,420 they forgot that, okay? They meant to. 204 00:14:34,420 --> 00:14:39,100 And then the NFT it's just like go away. I still think the makers of this keyboard 205 00:14:39,100 --> 00:14:43,012 will be happy with this review because I think the thing they care about the most is the artistry 206 00:14:43,012 --> 00:14:46,760 and precision with which this was cut and designed. 207 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,850 And I think the CNC and metal aspect of it is really badass. 208 00:14:49,850 --> 00:14:53,800 I think it's beautiful. Apparently this is a "Westworld" inspired aesthetic. 209 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,800 They'd have that like at least twice on the webpage, whatever. 210 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:03,400 I don't like the color they went with for the legend. I think that kind of serves to erode 211 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,440 a lot of the other kind of deposits 212 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,580 in the beautiful bank account they made. They just, I just wish it works. 213 00:15:10,580 --> 00:15:13,590 (James laughing) But for this, that's it. 214 00:15:13,590 --> 00:15:20,910 Save your Christmas money, get something else. NFT stands for no fricking techomandation from James. 215 00:15:20,910 --> 00:15:25,180 Get that? That's a tech recommendation, not today. Thanks for watching "ShortCircuit." 216 00:15:25,180 --> 00:15:28,337 If you liked this video hit Like, if you hated it still hit Like 217 00:15:28,337 --> 00:15:32,890 but then yell at me in the comments and watch our other videos about keyboards. 218 00:15:32,890 --> 00:15:34,953 Bye.
