WEBVTT 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.799 Linus TechTips coverage of Computex 2013 is powered by Western Digital. Our 00:00:04.880 --> 00:00:11.200 trusted gaming gear partner is Corsair Vengeance and our trusted retail partner 00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:11.200 is 00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:18.320 ncx.com. So, you've got three guesses as to which booth we're in at Computex 00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:25.840 right now. And the first two don't count because this right here is one gigantic 00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:30.320 computer mouse. This is the Funk MS3 and 00:00:25.840 --> 00:00:31.599 it is designed for giants who need mice 00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:36.880 that are actually made of foam and don't actually work. No, really. This is just a prop. And what they're actually 00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:40.399 showing off is not the MS3. The MS3 is the product that's in the market now. 00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:44.800 And they are expanding the gaming product lineup to include some pretty 00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:50.480 cool new stuff over here. So, right here we've got the KB 460. Um, you know, 00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:55.920 Funk's really uh sort of really creative about the way that they use numbers to, 00:00:53.280 --> 00:01:01.600 you know, name their products. KB obviously stands for uh cone brilliance 00:00:59.199 --> 00:01:06.640 where the uh the cone is spelled with a K. No, actually it's keyboard. So MS for 00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:10.640 mouse, you know, uh keyboard for games. Okay, so this right here is a mechanical 00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:15.360 gaming keyboard. It features Cherry MX red switches. It's got a braided cable. 00:01:12.960 --> 00:01:19.439 It's got a built-in USB hub. So you got a couple of ports there. It also has 00:01:17.600 --> 00:01:23.360 some software functionality that goes into it. So you've got five different 00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:27.840 profiles which are accessible over here with the F7 to F11 keys. You've got 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:32.400 built-in media keys that are accessed with a function command as well as a 00:01:31.119 --> 00:01:37.520 Okay. Well, you're going to notice a pretty non-standard layout here, but don't worry about that because the North 00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:41.759 American model will have sort of full size shift keys, fulls size enter keys. 00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:46.720 It does have a red backlight and you can also see it has a red back plate that 00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:50.640 really makes that light more vibrant and really really glow. Next thing is the 00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:54.880 detachable wrist rest. Now, if you're anything like me, you've probably broken 00:01:52.960 --> 00:02:00.079 at least a few of these at some point in your life. Now, Funk's goal was to make 00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:03.759 the wrist rest as simple as possible in the way it attaches, meaning that it 00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:08.000 shouldn't break. So, we're going to go ahead and turn this around. The mechanism is actually not here yet, but 00:02:06.399 --> 00:02:12.160 they assure me it shouldn't break. And if it does break, the idea is they will 00:02:10.239 --> 00:02:15.440 just ship you a new one. No big deal. They'll take care of it. Couple days 00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:20.720 later, you will be back to having your wrist rest permanently attached to your 00:02:17.959 --> 00:02:24.720 keyboard. Next up over here, we have a couple of Funk mouse pads. So, these are 00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:27.599 the F-S series 10L and 10 XL. They're basically using a similar surface to 00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:31.040 what we've got on their existing products, except that they are flexible. 00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:34.879 They are single-sided, so they have a rubberized grip, so they don't move around too much while you're trying to 00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:39.040 move them. And obviously they are optimized for use with the MS3 gaming 00:02:36.959 --> 00:02:43.760 mouse. It glides very nicely over top of them. You get that hockey puck effect. 00:02:40.480 --> 00:02:45.920 There we go. And finally, the HS260. 00:02:43.760 --> 00:02:50.080 This is not a finished sample, but I'll go through the general specs of it. 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:55.200 Anyway, it's got 50 mm drivers. It's got some of the softest, biggest cushions 00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:59.760 that I think I've ever seen on a headset before. It has, you know, your 00:02:56.959 --> 00:03:02.480 adjustable sizing. It's got I'm going to have a problem here because I can only 00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:07.280 hold this microphone with one hand. Can I get you to hold this microphone for me, sir? Thank you very much. Okay, so 00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:14.000 here we go. I can put this on my head now and don't have to keep stalling for time. Very plush ear cups. There we go. 00:03:11.519 --> 00:03:17.680 You've got your size adjustment just like that. So, you can put it on like 00:03:16.239 --> 00:03:21.920 sort of, you know, like you got like a huge head or something like that. Now, I have two 00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:24.319 microphones. All right. Now, where does the functionality come in? Because 00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:28.560 that's what funk stands for. Functionality perfected. I'm just going to show you the functionality. So, 00:03:26.959 --> 00:03:33.599 number one, you can remove the mic. All right. That's cool. We've seen this before. Personally, I'm more excited 00:03:31.519 --> 00:03:36.879 about the fact that the mic is like this. Well, I mean, I don't want to put 00:03:34.959 --> 00:03:40.000 it here, but I'm more excited about the fact that the mic is pretty much 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:43.840 infinitely adjustable because often boom mics end up out here for me, which means 00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:48.080 you spit into them a lot and there's a lot of hissing that comes with with S's, 00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:51.120 Sises, and things like that. So, if you can put it right here in the corner of 00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:54.239 your mouth where it's actually optimal, you're going to get a better experience 00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:58.080 for the person on the other end. The next thing is the removable cable. And 00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:02.080 removable cables aren't exactly new, but look at this one. 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:08.239 There is absolutely nothing exceptional about that cable that that is a standard 00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:12.560 standard headphone jack cable and that's why I like it because it is completely 00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:17.199 standard. You do not have to worry about any kind of proprietary nonsense if your 00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:21.919 cat chews through your cable like what happened to my PC 350s or if you lose 00:04:19.840 --> 00:04:25.120 your cable like I've probably done with something at some point but my memor is 00:04:23.440 --> 00:04:28.080 failing me right now. Now the other thing is you can actually switch these 00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:31.840 around. So you can switch this over here. You can switch this over here if 00:04:29.919 --> 00:04:36.479 you feel like it. The microphone itself has a mute button built into the bottom 00:04:33.440 --> 00:04:37.759 of it. And the headphone left ear cup or 00:04:36.479 --> 00:04:43.040 right ear cup or wherever you want to put it, I guess, has a built-in volume 00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:47.440 control knob as well. Now, this is not a finished sample, like I said, so your 00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:51.840 finished product may vary, but stay tuned because the HS2 likes looks like 00:04:49.280 --> 00:04:55.199 it's going to be pretty sweet.
