Linus Tech Tips coverage of Computex 2013 is powered by Western Digital. Our

00:00:04.880 --> 00:00:11.040
trusted gaming gear partner is Corsair Vengeance and our trusted retail partner

00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:14.799
is NCIX.com. Hey guys, B-roll and I were wandering

00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:20.320
around Computex and we came by Rogue as you can see. And I noticed immediately

00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:24.560
their Mech Fu. This thing is awesome. I know we have a few Hawin and Mech

00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:28.160
Warrior fans in the audience because of all the NVIDIA giveaways that they've

00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:31.920
been doing with Hawin and just the pure amount of comments we get about

00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:35.760
Mecharrior. I don't even know what to say about this other than just biting

00:00:34.239 --> 00:00:40.800
for time while B-roll gets awesome footage. This thing is awesome. You have

00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:45.520
a the main usable area of your keyboard here. Shift will make it so you can use

00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:49.200
the uh number keys along along the top. You've got communication buttons here

00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:53.199
for team chat or taunting people, which is hilarious. You have a dedicated

00:00:50.879 --> 00:00:57.520
button just to use a taunt in a game. You can go from auto to shift here. Two

00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:01.840
awesome joysticks with like all the hardcore buttons you could ever want.

00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:06.000
Different thruster levels, everything. Oh, the Hawham nerd hawin nerd in me

00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:10.000
wants this so bad. It would be absolutely awesome. I can tell due to

00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:12.960
how a lot of these buttons are made, if it was plugged in through USB that there

00:01:11.520 --> 00:01:18.080
would be back lights on them, but there is currently not. This is actually just

00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:19.600
a sample. Just the the missile switches

00:01:18.080 --> 00:01:24.320
and stuff that are on this are awesome. You can hear Here, one

00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:28.960
second. You can hear that it has a very tactile click. That's awesome. It feels

00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:32.880
very real. Not maybe not exactly real because I've never actually used a like

00:01:30.880 --> 00:01:36.320
fighter pilot's control panel, but it feels real to me. Big big handlebars to

00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:41.280
pick it up. I'm not going to do that because again, it's a sample, so I don't want to ruin it. LCD screen up here. I'm

00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:46.240
not entirely sure what it displays up there, but I'm assuming it will be similar stuff to G15 keyboards from

00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:50.159
Logitech where it can display like your ammo and other things that you have

00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:54.640
right there. Controlling a mech with this would just be so awesome. Having

00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:58.560
both joysticks ready to go. They're very nice looking joysticks. I again, I'm

00:01:56.880 --> 00:02:02.479
just biting for time so B-roll can get awesome, awesome footage of this because

00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:07.119
this thing is so cool. I'm very happy I came by Rogue to check it out. Just h

00:02:05.520 --> 00:02:10.399
the amount of options you can have and I love how they have all different things.

00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:14.720
It's not just a million buttons. There's actually gradient switches. There's

00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:18.640
flipping switches over here. The dials that you can change, big big chunky

00:02:17.200 --> 00:02:23.360
buttons that look real that you can press. So, if you want to bring up your console, it's one big button that you

00:02:21.760 --> 00:02:27.040
can slam down. Or team chat communications. You can hold it down. It

00:02:25.040 --> 00:02:31.040
just seems very real. Even though it is plastic and it is going in through USB,

00:02:29.440 --> 00:02:35.120
it seems like you're in a fighter jet or a mech warrior, which is awesome. If you
