1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:06,799
Okay, so today we're going to be doing a quick unboxing of the Microsoft Reclusa

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:10,800
keyboard. Now, you can see here based on the cameraman zooming in on nothing but

3
00:00:08,559 --> 00:00:15,440
this, that it is powered by Razer and it has Razer hyper response gaming key

4
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:19,359
action with customizable gaming controls and profile management. So, what

5
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:24,080
Microsoft is saying about this keyboard is that it contains an enhanced English

6
00:00:21,039 --> 00:00:25,760
104 key layout and it is engineered for

7
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:29,199
gaming, which basically means yeah, that's the powered by Razer part because

8
00:00:27,439 --> 00:00:33,440
Razer makes gaming peripherals and Microsoft makes office peripherals as

9
00:00:31,519 --> 00:00:37,360
far as I can tell. Mind you, Microsoft has some newer stuff that's pretty cool

10
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:40,879
for like gaming products, too. So, here we go. Hyper response key action reduces

11
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:44,079
key latency, maximizing response. You got profile management, so you can

12
00:00:42,239 --> 00:00:48,079
create and store key mapping and macros for each game profile. Blue back lit

13
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:54,079
keys for low light conditions. Great. And then two goldplated USB ports. Two.

14
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:57,320
Huh. Okay. Great. All right. And then over here we have customizable gaming

15
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:02,879
controls with two 360° jog dials, one on each side for

16
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:06,320
quick access during heated game play. Then you have four bumper keys, two on

17
00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:11,920
either side of the keyboard with an easy reach of the standard gaming keys. Now,

18
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:16,880
I have to question how these are within reach of any sort of standard gaming key

19
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:21,200
because as far as I know, most standard gamers are using these. So, these are in

20
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:24,640
reach. Oh, my battery's low. This is going to fail. Okay, so we have six

21
00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:27,840
hotkeys. One touch of a customized hotkey executes multiple keystrokes in

22
00:01:26,479 --> 00:01:31,360
place. So, basically, these are macro keys. And I'm not going to open the box

23
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:35,439
yet because I can see that the battery is low and I'm going to have to just

24
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:40,479
like do a transition here or something. And we're back. So, now we're going to

25
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:43,360
actually open the box. There we go. This

26
00:01:40,479 --> 00:01:47,759
is the unboxing part of the unboxing now that we've already had the product

27
00:01:45,119 --> 00:01:55,119
overview part of the unboxing. So, there goes the box. And here comes the second

28
00:01:51,720 --> 00:02:00,159
box. Yeah. Okay. So, the first thing we

29
00:01:55,119 --> 00:02:03,280
find inside is ah CDs, which we get out

30
00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:04,719
by doing this. There we go. So, we have

31
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:08,800
a Microsoft gaming keyboard with software. Reclus I don't even know what

32
00:02:06,719 --> 00:02:13,040
this is. Oh, it's a manual. So, you should plug it into the USB port. Uh,

33
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:17,840
install the software, configure the keyboard,

34
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:19,520
and awesome. Okay. Next, we have the

35
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:24,319
contents. The getting Oh, the getting started guide. So, to reduce the risk of

36
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:28,720
injury, something about compliance with EU something. Okay. Reclusive gaming

37
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:31,640
keyboard driver disc. Do not use this. Download the latest drivers from

38
00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:34,959
www.razerzone.com. razorone.com. I guess Microsoft would

39
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:39,840
probably have the drivers hosted somewhere like on their site too.

40
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:43,280
I not sure to be perfectly honest. That's the thing about these hybrid

41
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:47,920
products where it's like one company's branding but powered by some other

42
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:51,680
company who did probably most of the design work. It's like well like who

43
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:57,200
supports it at that point? I guess Microsoft. Ooh, this is nice. It's all

44
00:02:53,920 --> 00:02:58,720
like it's all leathery and like rubbery

45
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:02,319
leathery. You can see I can actually like press it down. That's kind of

46
00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:07,200
comfy. I'm going to have to try that out before the video is over. It's It's kind

47
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:12,959
of a nice wrist rest. Okay. Well, that was fun. Okay. Now, let's get to the

48
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:15,840
reclusa keyboard itself. So, this cord

49
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:20,879
has to somehow come out of here. And as soon as I get that figured out, I will

50
00:03:17,519 --> 00:03:24,159
lift the keyboard out of the brown box.

51
00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:26,720
And then I will take special note of the

52
00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:30,159
no choke. Do not let your baby take this bag, put it over its head, and then

53
00:03:28,239 --> 00:03:35,360
throw throw throw away the baby or the Oh, no. They're telling you throw away

54
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:40,720
the bag so that the baby doesn't get it. Okay. Awesome. So, we can peel off this.

55
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:44,159
So, that's very shiny. Okay. You can see we have the usual shine shot. So, you

56
00:03:42,879 --> 00:03:48,080
can see how shiny the top of the keyboard is. It's a very weird shape,

57
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:52,640
this keyboard. Actually, maybe it'll look a little bit better once we put the

58
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:57,360
uh the wrist rest on. But it's like a very like it's seems very oval compared

59
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:01,760
to a normal keyboard, which would seem more square. And another thing that I

60
00:03:58,959 --> 00:04:05,920
notic about it is that it's really heavy compared to most new keyboards, which is

61
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:09,200
kind of it's kind of nice because it has that quality feel. Oh, here's a feature

62
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:14,799
that I didn't know it had. Check this out. You have cable routing, like cable

63
00:04:12,239 --> 00:04:18,239
management uh ports all along the bottom of the keyboard. So, you can route a

64
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:22,960
bunch of different cables anywhere you want them to go. You looks like you can even take out these little routing

65
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,919
brackets here, but that prevents the keyboard from being propped up on the

66
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:31,440
cable when you flip it over. That's kind of nice. Okay, so we've attached the

67
00:04:27,759 --> 00:04:33,440
wrist rest and oh, this is stupid. Okay,

68
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:38,160
so this wrist rest, you see how it's symmetrical? It would be perfect if my

69
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:42,080
hand sat here when I was typing. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with this

70
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:46,080
picture? No good. Okay. Well, I mean, this is okay, but you can see clearly

71
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:49,919
here that my left wrist comes off of the off of the wrist rest, which is too bad

72
00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:54,320
because it's very comfortable. So, here are all the basic features. We have the

73
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:57,040
what appears to be a volume dial here. No, that's not a volume dial. I don't

74
00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:03,440
know what it is, but it's plus minus there. You can spin the dial. Okay. Then, we have some hot keys here. Then,

75
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:08,000
we have those other keys here. And then we have WD. This is all blue back lit

76
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:13,120
when you plug it in. It's a fairly standard layout and the keys um there's

77
00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:17,440
a fair bit of travel and they're a little bit stiff, but I'd say overall they're quite comfortable to type on.

78
00:05:15,919 --> 00:05:21,759
Not too loud, too, which is nice if you're a late night gamer and there are other people in your house who don't

79
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:25,120
like to hear your late night gaming. So, we've got a few more keys over here.

80
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:28,240
These look like media eject. They've got a few pre-programmed stuff here. Things

81
00:05:27,039 --> 00:05:32,880
here. These are your back and forward buttons, which are apparently supposedly

82
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:35,919
easily accessible while you're gaming. Now, I'm sure there was something else I

83
00:05:34,639 --> 00:05:39,440
was going to say about this. Maybe the cameraman can prompt me. Or maybe

84
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:42,880
there's nothing. Maybe that was all I had to say about it. Thank you for

85
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:47,000
checking out my unboxing and product overview of the Microsoft Reclusive

86
00:05:45,199 --> 00:05:51,120
keyboard powered by Razer. I finally remember the thing I

87
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:57,120
wanted to do. I had mentioned before this keyboard is so heavy, but I pulled

88
00:05:54,240 --> 00:06:02,560
out my benchmark, my benchmark golden standard for heaviest keyboard ever,

89
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:06,960
this like fossilized Model M. And I'm still giving the nod to the Model M,

90
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:09,919
both in terms of key switch quality, of course, because it's the best. Oh, don't

91
00:06:08,319 --> 00:06:13,360
get too close to that. This is This isn't mine. I just received this as a

92
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:18,720
handme-down from someone. I'm going to run it through the dishwasher first. I don't even know if I want to admit to

93
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:24,199
owning this keyboard, but the point is that it is still heavier than the

94
00:06:21,199 --> 00:06:24,199
Reclusa.
