pretty hard to choose do you play with a mouse and keyboard or do you pick up a controller well today we've got the Megalodon console 64 from Duo how do you pronounce that doy and d-o-i-o you can find it on drop.com and they're currently doing a pre-release sale it's going for well we'll tell you later but pretty cool it does not come with keycaps and switches just so you're aware we actually put this together beforehand or rather Bell did uh what else do we get though cable is okay a to c ertainly what's the ARM span thing your arms is like how tall you are yeah I'm like five six five seven on a good day the it's think it's crazy sorry I lost my train of thought it's so weird having an actual keyboard that you can hold like a controller I've been looking at a lot of handhelds recently like the steam deck and the Rog Ally they're definitely not this big but they're also not that much smaller to be perfectly honest and I'll be frank I don't think you're actually supposed to hold this keyboard like this you're the the joystick is joy to Mouse and you can map everything through via which is great but I'm pretty sure this is not the intended use the right side is also not a thumbstick it's just a knob for anyone who is hoping for an actual controller that you could use but you do also get four little mini buttons down here they feel terrible to press I don't like those at all actually they don't even feel like really good face buttons it's kind of just like a little pogo stick that's uh sitting up and you can press it down so I'm not a fan I'm not comfortable uh does not feel good to press but you know you're not using this like an actual controller so whatever it's not the end of the world this is apparently a little screen that we'll see once it's plugged in it just displays a bit of information you can change it yourself which is pretty cool like laughs we got the red and blue one which looks a lot like a switch if that wasn't super obvious to basically everyone watching it comes in a bunch of other colorways white yellow soy and pink those are all sold out right now apparently I don't know if they're gonna change stock at some point it's currently a pre-order and ships July 7th so maybe you'll get lucky and they'll restock if you're not a big switch fan uh but for everyone else yeah should be fine if you like red and blue then this is maybe for you if you haven't already noticed this is a 60 keyboard but it's got 64 keys and part of the problem is they've really squished it in here and you've got a 2u shift and then a 1u shift on this side and as you can see from our keycap set that is not included it doesn't match we've got our enter Keys sideways that's not supposed to be there at all and then we're using a Windows key for the 1u the nice thing but the one you is that's basically any other keycap you can put literally whatever you want there but to you is kind of a weird size that you don't see super often and you might need to buy a more expensive keycap set if you want to make sure everything fits perfectly on here gmk sets for example tend to ship with basically every option Under the Sun your options from Amazon that are like 30 40 bucks they might not quite fit so be careful it might be a 60 keyboard but it's definitely longer than average this is honestly almost a full-size board in terms of length at least in ways they advertise about 1300 grams let's see how accurate that is 1500 wow this is a heavy board oh it's probably 1300 without the keycaps and switches and everything but then you add switches keycaps and it'll add probably a couple hundred grams so that actually sounds about right it normally has a 5.5 degree typing angle which is pretty okay for most people you might want to wrist rest just because of how tall the whole keyboard is actually um I don't know why it's this tall the case is a little excessive it's acrylic and aluminum mostly acrylic and plastic though I actually don't know where the aluminum is in here and I can't take it apart to find it so that's all we're gonna get it's got a pretty cool see-through bottom for anyone who's been a fan of that craze kind of returning I'm going to plug it in and turn it on and see if it actually feels any good to type on but not before it worked from our sponsor dbrand although you can't skin this they do have real skins for your Nintendo switch they're made from high quality 3M vinyl that is true texture the patented adhesive is guaranteed to leave no residue on your device if you want to change them they also have grip cases for your phone or air pods that fit snug and are super durable with thousands of grippy contact points go to shortlines.com and buy your overpriced stickers today if you're spending a good amount of money on a mechanical keyboard already it's not going to kill you to just buy a slightly nicer cable that's going to look a bit better feel a bit better and match your desk and accessories a lot better too I don't really fault them for not including a nicer cable it's a Bare Bones kit and it's fine the cable is going to work it's going to do exactly what you want it to do and honestly it kind of matches with the black um but you know it's just it's not sleeved just leave it make it make it just that little touch better uh this is really cool the screen's got a one on it we're going to type on it first and then I'm going to check out all of those sweet sweet extra buttons that it's got I didn't install these switches and I am just finding out now that a couple of them don't actually work I'm assuming that whoever did install them just kind of bent some pins and it's a quick and easy fix but you know what you know it's a lot better than that watching me make a ton of mistakes on monkey type oh control doesn't work one nice thing that we can actually show off I guess while I fix these switches is the fact that this is indeed a hot swap board oh my Lord yep bent pin that's pretty cool and it's five pins so any switch is gonna fit into this board without issues uh except for maybe otemu because they're thinner pins but that's okay if you also didn't notice it's got RGB which is pretty great south facing and it looks like you can set it to a bunch of different customizations um it's qmk firmware so you can use via to map it however you want including the RGB the nice thing about south facing RGB is it's super compatible with whatever switch you want to use the nice thing about North facing though is it tends to shine through shine through keycaps a little bit better so take your pick pick your poison whatever you want to use I personally prefer North facing just because I like the shine through on keycaps but it honestly doesn't matter all that much I really do like this little screen with the one on it because on player one I don't know how to customize that but that's apparently also customizable so you can just put whatever you want on that teeny tiny little screen there one thing I want to mention before we do the typing test is that the switches in here aren't my purse personal preference and so I might not like the feel of the actual switches however I want to point out that the gaskets in this thing it is gasket mounted they're very squishy there's a ton of flex so if you like a soft bottom out feel then you shouldn't be disappointed gasket mounting just means that the board and the plate are basically sandwiched in between these little rubber gaskets so that when you press it down it has some give to it into the rubber there's a ton of different mounting Styles you can have top mount plate Mount gasket Mount gasket Mount actually comes in a bunch of different forms too there's socks there's bowls now one thing I'll mention actually is that it looks like it's pretty easy to take apart with all of the bolts being on the bottom however there's quite a few of them most of the time you're only going to have maybe six or eight case screws maybe 10 but this has got two three four five six seven eight thirteen fourteen fourteen case screws uh it's quite a few it's not the end of the world it's probably because of all of their little extra electronics like for the thumbstick and the extra knobs on the bottom oh they work so this knob on the bottom left acts as an up and down scroll wheel the bottom right acts as a volume knob cool what's this guy do because it's usually a volume this is not doing anything the really cool thing is that the thumbstick while it doesn't do a great job this is this is not a good experience at all uh navigating with the thumbstick but it is doable so you could hold this thing and use it as your mouse if you so desire I don't recommend anyone does that I think it's honestly just a really cool kind of fidget toy I've been sitting here playing with it constantly because there's just so many little dials and buttons and knobs to press you could map the thumbstick to wasde and then use it as your you know single thumb navigation tool instead of using wozni like a keyboard this just feels wrong it's one of the only keyboards that I'd actually suggest that you pick up and handle constantly instead of just finding the heaviest thing you can and plonking it on your desk and leaving it there let's open a keyboard tester and see what they're actually triggering launch the tester sorry this is actually registering as a dash or hyphen when you press it this one doesn't seem to be activating anything this guy's also not set to click oh page up page down oh yeah that makes sense because it Scrolls and then the thumbstick is just just joy to Mouse and then what's the click click is not mapped to any buttons you could probably map it to your mouse theoretically I don't know if I'd want to and then these face buttons don't seem to be anything either so if you want to make use of these out of the box you're not really going to be able to do that you're going to have to actually go and map it oh they're doing their RGB oh that's what I get for pressing buttons while not looking at the keyboard one seems to just turn RGB on or off that's like your a button but X and B aren't changing anything y seems to also be changing the RGB in terms of like solid color whether you want uh flashing colors whether you want it to like pulse when it presses a certain key oh that's a mute button oh clicking off so clicking on this guy is a mute button overall you know I think all the extra buttons are pretty cool it's kind of like a macro person's dream I'm not really that person I tend to just use my keyboard as is maybe I use a function button for a couple of keys like F5 if I'm using uh 65 or 60 but otherwise I tend to just leave it as is I'm not even a big via user but it does support that and you can use it if you'd like to monkey you know what's cool though I'm not going to use the trackpad on the laptop well I don't have a mouse click so I am going to use the trackpad on the laptop oh my C button doesn't work uh that's definitely the worst I've ever done both here and I think in general I got 60 words per minute 82 accuracy only part of that is because of our c-switch not being properly working here otherwise it's mostly the layout it's really condensed and I have a bit of a problem going for some keys especially my shift key when it's this small so if you're new to 60 or 65 keyboards it might take quite a bit of learning to get used to typing on this smaller layout otherwise it's not bad though we've only got some pretty stock switches and uh not the greatest keycaps to be perfectly honest but the sound isn't bad it does come with a number of sound dampening pads I don't know what kind of foam or padding they are but it is included and I can hear it at work it's okay not great you could probably mod this to make it sound quite a bit better though and the stabilizers are not terrible actually not a ton of rattle at all and they're pretty evenly spaced so yeah oh one thing I didn't notice about the bottom as well is that this uh DUI logo is actually machined in so it's not just you know overlaid or or painted on or anything like that it's a pretty deep machine so you can actually feel it yeah yeah that's a good point actually if you are using it as a controller then maybe you are going to care about having a nice machine back like this overall I think it's not bad I think it's pretty cool in a number of ways and it's definitely for a very specific audience if you're a big switch fan or if you're looking for something that's just unconventional I know a lot of people that buy keyboards only because they're different and the reality is this is incredibly unique I've never seen something quite like this before the only problem is that they do charge a bit of a premium it's 219 dollars right now down from 228 big sale probably because there's only the one color left it's hard to swallow that pill when you also got to buy switches and keycaps on top of that and it's a little harder to swallow when the keycaps that you're going to want are going to have to be very specific to fit this very specific layout that being said you know the build quality is not awful either way at 220 bucks once you add in switches you know another 40 at least probably more like 60 dollars depending on what you buy and then throwing on a keycap set especially something that's probably a bit more premium you're looking at an extra 80 100 bucks if not more the price for this quickly adds up and I think that if you're looking for just a regular mechanical keyboard one that's a little funky that looks like a switch it's probably not worth your money however if you want a really really cool macro pad that's got a bunch of different functions that you can map to whatever your hearts desire uh maybe it is for you thanks for watching ShortCircuit if you want to look at another keyboard ShortCircuit we did that was at a similar price point that I liked a lot more check out the key boom it's also clear but it's just a bit more premium feeling"}
