1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,240
what's cooler than a 360. two of them a

2
00:00:03,060 --> 00:00:08,099
720 and we've got the CK 720 from Cooler

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:12,139
Master the really cool thing about this guy not that it's Cooler Master it's

4
00:00:10,019 --> 00:00:16,139
just that it's hot swap it's 65 apparently there's an aluminum top plate

5
00:00:14,340 --> 00:00:21,359
and what I'm really excited about is these stabilizers are apparently lubed

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,800
so it seems that uh the bigger companies

7
00:00:21,359 --> 00:00:27,000
are finally kind of getting on board with this and I am really down the

8
00:00:25,439 --> 00:00:30,960
Corsair one was okay but there's definitely room for improvement so I'm

9
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:34,320
very curious to see how uh Cooler Master does I've actually never typed on like a

10
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:39,300
single Cooler Master keyboard I don't think so I'm stoked to check it out uh

11
00:00:37,380 --> 00:00:43,100
we've got two one of them I think it's just the switches oh there's a black and

12
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:48,480
a white version very cool uh we've got clickies it just says clicky I think

13
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:52,440
they're kale box V2s or something and then uh this is just as tactile but that

14
00:00:50,700 --> 00:00:55,020
looks like a cherry Brown I kind of want the black one even though I really don't

15
00:00:53,700 --> 00:00:59,940
like clickies I kind of want to open the black one so let's open the black one I've never really been one of those like

16
00:00:57,420 --> 00:01:05,280
all white uh edit kind of people I prefer black or

17
00:01:02,579 --> 00:01:08,700
colors we've got a how to remove the aluminum top cover oh this is super cool

18
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:13,080
I don't know if this is entirely tool-less it looks like you actually don't even need to take all of the

19
00:01:11,340 --> 00:01:18,479
keycaps off just where the stabilizers are maybe and then you open up the side

20
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,740
panel here and then you flick a switch

21
00:01:18,479 --> 00:01:23,220
and then you take it off so we're gonna try that we've also got a quick start

22
00:01:22,020 --> 00:01:29,280
guide it's basically just warranty and other

23
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:34,320
stuff some quick stuff like function plus t for Led modus oh that's not

24
00:01:32,100 --> 00:01:37,320
English that's German I think uh what else do we get in the Box

25
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:41,520
oh that's cool it's got like a little I

26
00:01:39,540 --> 00:01:45,540
mean it's plastic it's not actually gold or uh anodized metal or anything maybe

27
00:01:43,799 --> 00:01:49,500
that's just the tape yeah I think I think it's just the tape is gold oh okay

28
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:54,000
cool that makes a lot more sense that's the aluminum top plate so we'll try to

29
00:01:51,840 --> 00:02:00,119
take that off I should only have to take uh these guys off to get at it

30
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:04,140
as per usual we've got a keycap puller and a switch puller I prefer these ones

31
00:02:02,579 --> 00:02:08,160
personally I find that these are just really easy to get switches especially

32
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:12,780
when um they're right on the very edge and then these keycap pullers that work

33
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:15,420
like this with the tongs I like these as well because it's really easy to just

34
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:19,860
like get in and out uh whereas with one of

35
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:22,980
these guys I brought another puller uh with one of these guys like this that's

36
00:02:21,660 --> 00:02:26,640
also easy but like see how I've got to push down a

37
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:30,120
bit more but I think that's it I don't think there's anything else in here oh

38
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:34,980
cable it's not anything special it's just seat a with no sleeving of any kind

39
00:02:32,819 --> 00:02:38,160
but the reality is uh if you check their website I'm pretty sure they mentioned

40
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:42,420
that they are going to be making custom cables so that's cool really excited to

41
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:45,959
see how those end up for now I'll just use this regular guy I already took a

42
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:49,500
couple keycaps off and you can see that they're just kale box V2s pretty nice

43
00:02:48,060 --> 00:02:54,300
click use if you're into that sort of thing apparently they come with some greens as well so you can try those out

44
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:58,980
maybe that's just the final release and on ours

45
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:01,920
space bar is okay you know what I'm actually going to open

46
00:03:00,180 --> 00:03:06,900
the other one really quick I don't want to judge the sound of it based on the

47
00:03:05,519 --> 00:03:12,180
clickies okay now you guys get to see the white one too you know I'm Gonna Leave This

48
00:03:10,019 --> 00:03:16,560
yellow accent tape on I kind of like it yeah okay

49
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:21,420
there are a couple silicone layers in this I think and that helps these feel

50
00:03:19,260 --> 00:03:27,180
uh a lot sturdier than regular Browns too the space bar is okay

51
00:03:25,140 --> 00:03:31,620
there is some Rattle and stuff in there still and I think it's because they're

52
00:03:28,980 --> 00:03:35,640
using clip-on stabilizers instead of screw in which is fine it's you know we

53
00:03:34,319 --> 00:03:42,180
like screw in actually I'm gonna take the space bar off you can tell because they've got Clips right here normally

54
00:03:39,420 --> 00:03:46,200
those would be screw in or at least in higher end products they'd be screwing

55
00:03:43,739 --> 00:03:51,000
it's really not the end of the world and there is lube I can definitely see the

56
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:55,260
lube why is there a do not remove Cooler Master sticker on here what what happens

57
00:03:53,220 --> 00:04:00,599
if I remove that sticker well I'm gonna remove the sticker oh I got it okay

58
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:04,379
there's a screw there why and why do they only put it over one of them okay I

59
00:04:02,580 --> 00:04:07,080
don't understand whatever if you need to tear this thing apart don't worry about

60
00:04:05,580 --> 00:04:10,560
the sticker I don't know why it's here I hate the whole warranty it doesn't say

61
00:04:08,700 --> 00:04:15,599
warranty void it just says you know do not remove but whatever the knob is very

62
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:18,660
tactile you can really feel each individual click on it and I like that a

63
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:22,919
lot press down forward back doesn't come out

64
00:04:21,479 --> 00:04:28,139
super easy is there a little hole where I can unscrew it I am not sure let's try

65
00:04:25,860 --> 00:04:32,220
taking the top plate off that's what I'm really curious about I also don't know

66
00:04:29,820 --> 00:04:36,300
why you need to remove these switches like like I don't understand I'm just

67
00:04:34,919 --> 00:04:40,860
going to try doing the thing on the side so we're going to open it

68
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:46,560
take this little guy off push this over okay so I have to remove these guys

69
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:49,259
okay knob came off pretty easily actually I don't understand so these

70
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:56,880
ones I kind of get because they're stabilizers but I don't understand why the page down and the the numpad has to

71
00:04:55,199 --> 00:05:01,139
get taken off I think there's plastic Clips still

72
00:04:58,979 --> 00:05:05,699
yep ah there we go cool

73
00:05:03,660 --> 00:05:08,520
yeah it just pops right off so they've got two layers of silicone in here

74
00:05:07,199 --> 00:05:13,620
there's one on the very bottom of the case and then there's one just above the

75
00:05:10,500 --> 00:05:15,720
PCB in between the PCB and the top plate

76
00:05:13,620 --> 00:05:19,139
and it's a cool purple material so it fits the stabilizers I actually really

77
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:24,419
like that I don't know I'm a big purple guy I got the purple sweater on and everything today I'm a big fan otherwise

78
00:05:22,620 --> 00:05:29,639
the case is okay the case itself is plastic uh the top it is Aluminum but

79
00:05:27,479 --> 00:05:36,419
it's very thin the keycaps themselves they're basically just double shot pvt

80
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:38,759
and uh I'm gonna put this back on oh do

81
00:05:36,419 --> 00:05:42,720
you like slide it over oh you do oh okay so that's the thing is you push and then

82
00:05:40,740 --> 00:05:45,780
slide over and then pull it off that's what was going on with those clips it

83
00:05:44,100 --> 00:05:49,979
was because I'm dumb and I didn't realize that you have to slide it over

84
00:05:47,340 --> 00:05:54,600
that is not shown in their how to remove the top cover it just shows them like

85
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:57,539
lifting it off so Cooler Master you could do a better job with that in my

86
00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:00,419
opinion that was not readily apparent but now that I know how to take it on

87
00:05:58,979 --> 00:06:04,860
and off it's actually like pretty easy I'm a big fan I get why they

88
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:11,039
need the keycaps off now too because you got to slide it over and that would touch the keycaps um yeah okay cool

89
00:06:08,039 --> 00:06:13,500
that's pretty neat on the bottom

90
00:06:11,039 --> 00:06:19,320
we've got two stage adjustable feet appreciate it two stage yep

91
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:21,300
I'm a big fan of this this is one of the

92
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:27,120
features that I would really like to see on more high-end Boutique boards I know

93
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,940
that these feet aren't necessarily as sturdy I know they have more of a

94
00:06:28,380 --> 00:06:35,220
tendency to break I know that they're probably going to have to be plastic but

95
00:06:32,220 --> 00:06:37,620
I just also don't care like I just want

96
00:06:35,220 --> 00:06:43,139
an option for typing experience let me go from like flat like this to I don't

97
00:06:41,580 --> 00:06:48,000
know whatever incline this is and then something in between

98
00:06:44,639 --> 00:06:49,860
with uh these guys here yeah that's nice

99
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:53,160
just gives you options you know I gotta put away the black one with the clicky

100
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:57,180
switches and I'm gonna grab the white one uh try out the Browns see how the

101
00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:03,600
typing experience really is when I'm actually typing something and not just mashing the keys but not until a word

102
00:07:01,199 --> 00:07:07,620

111
00:07:40,259 --> 00:07:47,960
international shipping I'm going to take off the accent tape now because I don't

112
00:07:44,580 --> 00:07:47,960
like it anymore it looks weird

113
00:07:48,259 --> 00:07:55,800
I wanna know how heavy it is it's 880

114
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:59,819
grams so that's uh almost two pounds yeah it's pretty close to two pounds one

115
00:07:57,419 --> 00:08:02,880
thing that I just noticed uh they've probably done this with other products

116
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:06,900
before they have USB cables but the internal plastic on the USB is purple as

117
00:08:05,460 --> 00:08:11,520
well as you can see there's a bunch of RGB on this bad boy perky illumination

118
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:14,759
nice thanks to this double shot keycap you can see it really easily in

119
00:08:13,380 --> 00:08:18,479
the dark I like how they've got The Cooler Master logo on the function key

120
00:08:16,860 --> 00:08:22,020
that's pretty cool it looks like it's also ready for Mac layout as well

121
00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:27,479
because you got like the command symbol and stuff here on the ALT key and whatnot uh so it's probably really easy

122
00:08:25,199 --> 00:08:32,099
for you to switch this to Mac if you're an Apple user I haven't taken the top

123
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:36,659
plate off of this one and it's very loose

124
00:08:34,260 --> 00:08:40,500
I did not notice that with the black one it's probably hard to see on camera but

125
00:08:38,820 --> 00:08:44,159
I can actually like really jiggle this around a lot and I haven't even opened

126
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:47,279
this I cannot attest for quality control the black one felt fine the white one

127
00:08:46,020 --> 00:08:51,120
not so much don't know buyer beware I guess I have

128
00:08:49,620 --> 00:08:56,300
no idea I'm just going to try to typing and see how this goes and away we go

129
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:08,399
oh that was very Oh I thought that was every 110 96 not great I'm gonna blame

130
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:13,440
myself to set the keyboard that would have gone a lot better if I hadn't thought that every uh was the word there

131
00:09:11,700 --> 00:09:18,200
but that's okay honestly it feels and sounds okay the space bar is definitely

132
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,200
apparent

133
00:09:19,140 --> 00:09:24,600
but that's actually really hard like that something a lot of people complain

134
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:28,019
about is that and I've done it too um is that A spacebar is going to sound

135
00:09:25,980 --> 00:09:31,920
really different from the rest of your board and the part of the problem is

136
00:09:29,220 --> 00:09:37,080
that it's just a much larger key like they're usually about 6.5 or 7 units

137
00:09:34,860 --> 00:09:41,519
um versus like one or maybe two or three or whatever on your enter and delete key

138
00:09:38,700 --> 00:09:44,399
or backspace sorry and it's really easy to make the other guys sound good when

139
00:09:42,660 --> 00:09:47,519
it's just a 3u stabilizer but once you're going all the way across with

140
00:09:45,779 --> 00:09:52,019
that really long bar it's hard to make it sound good you could probably improve

141
00:09:49,740 --> 00:09:56,339
this with a bit of foam under the space bar itself

142
00:09:53,459 --> 00:10:00,779
and then I yeah maybe just not clip in let me screw in the stabilizers it's

143
00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:03,660
just it's a lot easier for manufacturers to just clip stuff in I guess let's take

144
00:10:02,519 --> 00:10:07,860
a look at the software let's see how good the master plus plus stuff is I

145
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:13,740
don't like the name but if it works it works oh it's detecting our CK 720 right

146
00:10:11,100 --> 00:10:18,120
away that's nice uh I don't yeah there's these two little dots down here I don't

147
00:10:16,260 --> 00:10:21,899
quite know what those are about but whatever they're clearly labeled here

148
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:26,040
which is good we can change all the RGB stuff like boom now it's all red if we

149
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:31,080
wanted to it could be all blue easy peasy you know change things to like

150
00:10:27,839 --> 00:10:33,959
that's a reactive fade now

151
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:37,560
man I love RGB oh you can change the LED speed and

152
00:10:35,820 --> 00:10:42,420
stuff too so make it like fast and stuff and you can like move the LED Direction

153
00:10:39,899 --> 00:10:46,200
around and whatnot uh key mapping as well in here which is great you can just

154
00:10:44,399 --> 00:10:48,899
looks like you can change anything to literally whatever you want except for

155
00:10:47,459 --> 00:10:54,060
The Cooler Master button which will change it's the function button you can't really change that

156
00:10:52,019 --> 00:11:00,000
and you can set up a bunch of macros and profiles honestly as much as I hate the

157
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:04,500
name the software seems perfectly usable so this is great honestly I think that

158
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:08,519
you can't really go wrong with this it it works no problem detected the

159
00:11:06,180 --> 00:11:12,600
keyboard uh everything is readily available to me and uh yeah you know

160
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:17,940
what I hate the name but I like the product so that's fine Master plus plus

161
00:11:14,399 --> 00:11:20,640
software you get a A plus rank from me

162
00:11:17,940 --> 00:11:26,459
here's the real kicker though uh this guy is like a hundred dollars you

163
00:11:22,980 --> 00:11:28,140
definitely find pretty quality hot

164
00:11:26,459 --> 00:11:32,399
swappable boards for about a hundred bucks but the fact that you could

165
00:11:30,420 --> 00:11:37,200
incorporate this easily into a bunch of your other Cooler Master gear on your

166
00:11:34,380 --> 00:11:41,579
desk and the fact that it does have hot swap maybe these plates will be

167
00:11:38,579 --> 00:11:43,380
swappable later it comes with switches

168
00:11:41,579 --> 00:11:48,060
keycaps you're ready to go it's got a knob like

169
00:11:45,779 --> 00:11:54,060
honestly I think this is a pretty decent buy especially if you want decent RGB

170
00:11:51,300 --> 00:11:59,339
software and you don't want to use like qmk via and whatnot to program it but I

171
00:11:57,300 --> 00:12:02,519
think that if you're looking for a keyboard and you want something with a

172
00:12:01,019 --> 00:12:06,959
warranty and you want something that you can just buy I think this is actually a

173
00:12:04,500 --> 00:12:11,519
pretty solid purchase for just about anyone looking to get into custom

174
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:16,019
keyboards there you have it guys it's The Cooler Master CK 720 I don't know

175
00:12:14,579 --> 00:12:21,779
where the CK comes from but you know what I like the rest of the board I think for 100 bucks it's not bad uh this

176
00:12:20,220 --> 00:12:26,000
was ShortCircuit if you enjoy other short circuits then watch other short

177
00:12:23,459 --> 00:12:26,000
circuits
