WEBVTT 00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:06.799 Okay, so today we're going to be doing a quick unboxing of the Microsoft Reclusa 00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:10.800 keyboard. Now, you can see here based on the cameraman zooming in on nothing but 00:00:08.559 --> 00:00:15.440 this, that it is powered by Razer and it has Razer hyper response gaming key 00:00:13.280 --> 00:00:19.359 action with customizable gaming controls and profile management. So, what 00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:24.080 Microsoft is saying about this keyboard is that it contains an enhanced English 00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:25.760 104 key layout and it is engineered for 00:00:24.080 --> 00:00:29.199 gaming, which basically means yeah, that's the powered by Razer part because 00:00:27.439 --> 00:00:33.440 Razer makes gaming peripherals and Microsoft makes office peripherals as 00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:37.360 far as I can tell. Mind you, Microsoft has some newer stuff that's pretty cool 00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:40.879 for like gaming products, too. So, here we go. Hyper response key action reduces 00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:44.079 key latency, maximizing response. You got profile management, so you can 00:00:42.239 --> 00:00:48.079 create and store key mapping and macros for each game profile. Blue back lit 00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:54.079 keys for low light conditions. Great. And then two goldplated USB ports. Two. 00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:57.320 Huh. Okay. Great. All right. And then over here we have customizable gaming 00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:02.879 controls with two 360° jog dials, one on each side for 00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:06.320 quick access during heated game play. Then you have four bumper keys, two on 00:01:04.960 --> 00:01:11.920 either side of the keyboard with an easy reach of the standard gaming keys. Now, 00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:16.880 I have to question how these are within reach of any sort of standard gaming key 00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:21.200 because as far as I know, most standard gamers are using these. So, these are in 00:01:19.520 --> 00:01:24.640 reach. Oh, my battery's low. This is going to fail. Okay, so we have six 00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:27.840 hotkeys. One touch of a customized hotkey executes multiple keystrokes in 00:01:26.479 --> 00:01:31.360 place. So, basically, these are macro keys. And I'm not going to open the box 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 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 00:01:37.240 --> 00:01:43.360 actually open the box. There we go. This 00:01:40.479 --> 00:01:47.759 is the unboxing part of the unboxing now that we've already had the product 00:01:45.119 --> 00:01:55.119 overview part of the unboxing. So, there goes the box. And here comes the second 00:01:51.720 --> 00:02:00.159 box. Yeah. Okay. So, the first thing we 00:01:55.119 --> 00:02:03.280 find inside is ah CDs, which we get out 00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:04.719 by doing this. There we go. So, we have 00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:08.800 a Microsoft gaming keyboard with software. Reclus I don't even know what 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, 00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:17.840 install the software, configure the keyboard, 00:02:14.200 --> 00:02:19.520 and awesome. Okay. Next, we have the 00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:24.319 contents. The getting Oh, the getting started guide. So, to reduce the risk of 00:02:22.040 --> 00:02:28.720 injury, something about compliance with EU something. Okay. Reclusive gaming 00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:31.640 keyboard driver disc. Do not use this. Download the latest drivers from 00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:34.959 www.razerzone.com. razorone.com. I guess Microsoft would 00:02:33.760 --> 00:02:39.840 probably have the drivers hosted somewhere like on their site too. 00:02:37.480 --> 00:02:43.280 I not sure to be perfectly honest. That's the thing about these hybrid 00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:47.920 products where it's like one company's branding but powered by some other 00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:51.680 company who did probably most of the design work. It's like well like who 00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:57.200 supports it at that point? I guess Microsoft. Ooh, this is nice. It's all 00:02:53.920 --> 00:02:58.720 like it's all leathery and like rubbery 00:02:57.200 --> 00:03:02.319 leathery. You can see I can actually like press it down. That's kind of 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 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 00:03:09.200 --> 00:03:15.840 reclusa keyboard itself. So, this cord 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 00:03:17.519 --> 00:03:24.159 lift the keyboard out of the brown box. 00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:26.720 And then I will take special note of the 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 00:03:28.239 --> 00:03:35.360 throw throw throw away the baby or the Oh, no. They're telling you throw away 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. 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 00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:48.080 can see how shiny the top of the keyboard is. It's a very weird shape, 00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:52.640 this keyboard. Actually, maybe it'll look a little bit better once we put the 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 00:03:55.760 --> 00:04:01.760 to a normal keyboard, which would seem more square. And another thing that I 00:03:58.959 --> 00:04:05.920 notic about it is that it's really heavy compared to most new keyboards, which is 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 00:04:07.760 --> 00:04:14.799 that I didn't know it had. Check this out. You have cable routing, like cable 00:04:12.239 --> 00:04:18.239 management uh ports all along the bottom of the keyboard. So, you can route a 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 00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:25.919 brackets here, but that prevents the keyboard from being propped up on the 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 00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:33.440 wrist rest and oh, this is stupid. Okay, 00:04:31.440 --> 00:04:38.160 so this wrist rest, you see how it's symmetrical? It would be perfect if my 00:04:35.840 --> 00:04:42.080 hand sat here when I was typing. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with this 00:04:39.440 --> 00:04:46.080 picture? No good. Okay. Well, I mean, this is okay, but you can see clearly 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 00:04:47.840 --> 00:04:54.320 because it's very comfortable. So, here are all the basic features. We have the 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 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, 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 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 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. 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 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. 00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:28.240 These look like media eject. They've got a few pre-programmed stuff here. Things 00:05:27.039 --> 00:05:32.880 here. These are your back and forward buttons, which are apparently supposedly 00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:35.919 easily accessible while you're gaming. Now, I'm sure there was something else I 00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:39.440 was going to say about this. Maybe the cameraman can prompt me. Or maybe 00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:42.880 there's nothing. Maybe that was all I had to say about it. Thank you for 00:05:40.880 --> 00:05:47.000 checking out my unboxing and product overview of the Microsoft Reclusive 00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:51.120 keyboard powered by Razer. I finally remember the thing I 00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:57.120 wanted to do. I had mentioned before this keyboard is so heavy, but I pulled 00:05:54.240 --> 00:06:02.560 out my benchmark, my benchmark golden standard for heaviest keyboard ever, 00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:06.960 this like fossilized Model M. And I'm still giving the nod to the Model M, 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 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 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 00:06:16.400 --> 00:06:24.199 owning this keyboard, but the point is that it is still heavier than the 00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:24.199 Reclusa.
