1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:07,359
Now, I always liked the concept of the Zboard or the Zedboard, but honestly,

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:13,120
the build quality always felt a little well suspect to me. Now, what Steeler

3
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:17,520
did in their acquisition of ideas on is they took some of the products,

4
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:21,840
particularly the Zboard, and just made

5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:24,560
them better, beefier, stronger, faster,

6
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:29,519
just better in sort of every way. So, that's where the shift comes from. It

7
00:00:27,039 --> 00:00:32,399
actually accepts the same key sets as the Zboard. So, if you have an old

8
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:36,719
Zboard key set, you can throw it right onto a shift keyboard. And vice versa,

9
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:43,360
you can buy a shift key set for your old Zboard, no problem. But they've just

10
00:00:40,239 --> 00:00:45,280
really improved the base station of it

11
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:48,719
um a great deal. So, I've actually done an unboxing of the Shift already, so you

12
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:52,960
can check that one out on my channel if you want to. This is specifically going

13
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:58,239
to be about the World of Warcraft Cataclysm key set for the Zboard. So, I

14
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:02,800
have a Zboard. Well, it is for the Zboard, but it's mostly for the shift.

15
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:04,159
Okay. So, here we go. This box includes

16
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:07,360
Well, here. Why don't we start opening it, and then we'll talk about what it

17
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:12,000
includes. So, let's see if there's any features on the back that stand out. Um,

18
00:01:10,479 --> 00:01:18,159
no. Doesn't really look like there's anything there that I don't already

19
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:20,080
know. So, I guess I'll just go ahead and

20
00:01:18,159 --> 00:01:24,960
start getting this thing opened up. So, you can see it comes with the default

21
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:26,479
key set installed. There we are. And I'm

22
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:31,920
just going to show you guys as part of this unboxing. So, we got a sticker,

23
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:34,479
product guide, uh, yep, little baggie of

24
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:40,880
stuff there. We've got a Steel Series Shift keyboard here, which is taped

25
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:47,119
closed. So, go ahead and remove that tape. Take out the

26
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,119
keyboard. There we

27
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:53,360
are. All right,

28
00:01:51,079 --> 00:01:58,560
then. Sorry, guys. been having a fair bit of trouble with this here.

29
00:01:56,119 --> 00:02:02,399
Okay, so shift keyboard. Let's go over this really quick, even though we've

30
00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:07,040
kind of already done it. Okay, media keys here. Very nice keyboard layout

31
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:11,200
that I like a lot. Full size backspace, full size shift keys, all of that good

32
00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:14,520
stuff. You got your F keys. You got your programmable keys up here, including a

33
00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:20,400
record button and three different profiles. Okay, you've got u all of your

34
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:24,120
other sort of normal stuff over here. Number pad, print screen, scroll lock.

35
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:29,760
Okay. So, well, that's normal except bam. Whoa. It's all gone. So, if you

36
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:35,200
haven't seen a Zboard or a Shift before, then there you are. That's the concept

37
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:38,400
of the Shift removable key sets. Okay.

38
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,760
So, it includes a wrist rest, and I'm

39
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:43,640
not going to get too far into that. You can check out my uh my other Shift

40
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:49,120
unboxing if you want to see the wrist rest. And it includes a Cataclysm key

41
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:52,360
set. Here we are. So, the Cataclysm key set comes wrapped

42
00:02:51,599 --> 00:02:58,560
in plastic. And the first thing we're going to do is show you how easy it is to

43
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:03,560
install a key set on the shift. You just slide it in like that. Lay the whole

44
00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:08,800
thing down and clip it in on the side. There we are. Now it's in. That

45
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:14,720
was easy. So, all of this stuff over here that is not for gaming. I mean,

46
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:16,319
maybe some people bind things to insert

47
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:21,519
like gaming functions, although most people probably don't. Okay, so not for

48
00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:26,400
gaming replaces all that stuff with for gaming. Okay, so here everything over

49
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:32,080
here is fairly normal except they've changed a lot of the labels. So check

50
00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:34,080
this out. So tab is now the Oh, really?

51
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:39,680
It's not going to focus for me. All right, let's see if we can get it to

52
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:42,400
focus. Please focus. I'll have to read

53
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:46,239
it for you. Tab is the target nearest enemy button, for example. Okay, so

54
00:03:44,959 --> 00:03:50,959
there's a lot of stuff here. There's enemy plates and then with the shift,

55
00:03:48,959 --> 00:03:56,959
friendly plates, there's backpack. Shift is all bags, talent, map, skills, quest,

56
00:03:54,640 --> 00:04:01,519
social, spell book, action 10, action nine, all kinds of stuff here. So the

57
00:03:58,799 --> 00:04:07,239
F1s, okay, emote bar one, emote bar two. So thank you, cheer, welcome, charge,

58
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:09,920
congrats, incoming, all good stuff here.

59
00:04:07,239 --> 00:04:15,519
Pet pet one, pet two, pet three, pet four. All right. And then over here,

60
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:18,560
this is the gaming area of the keyboard.

61
00:04:15,519 --> 00:04:21,560
gaming terrain. All right. So, we've got

62
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:24,000
a complete replacement for

63
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:29,040
WD. Okay. So, if you want to run using this over here, then you can totally do

64
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,040
that. We've

65
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:41,280
got Huh. Okay. Well, you I guess the way this is set up, you would not use

66
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:43,199
this with your left hand the way you

67
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:46,960
would for FPS games. Okay. So, you're going to use this with your right hand

68
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:50,160
and then this with your left hand. Okay, I don't quite understand how this works.

69
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:54,080
Give me a moment. See, this is the problem with doing these videos like

70
00:04:51,960 --> 00:05:00,720
completely off the top of my head. Okay, so this this is pretty clearly not not a

71
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:03,120
replacement for WD. So, WD are your

72
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:07,280
movement keys. Over here is a whole bunch of supplementary stuff. So, we got

73
00:05:04,919 --> 00:05:12,160
screenshot, exit vehicle, inspect, invite, trade, raid. Okay, here's all

74
00:05:09,919 --> 00:05:16,560
your raid functions. So raid chat, ready check, raid warning, raid browser. Okay,

75
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:20,960
chat functions. So you got party chat, guild chat, region chat, BG chat, say,

76
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:27,520
whisper, yell, emote. So these are all useful things to have automatically

77
00:05:24,039 --> 00:05:29,520
bound. Okay, and most of these are keys

78
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:36,160
that you would already normally find on a keyboard. So check this out. Okay, so

79
00:05:31,919 --> 00:05:39,280
right here, delete also has a delete key

80
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:41,680
over here. Now it looks like it's

81
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:47,520
changed the actual location of it. So what would have normally been print

82
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:49,600
screen right here actually corresponds

83
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:57,520
to insert. So they they've changed the layout slightly, but the the uh here the

84
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:59,440
circuitry in the key set itself is going

85
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:03,759
to remap that for you without you having to worry too much about it. So pretty

86
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:11,759
much that's it. The point of the shift keyboard is this. Okay, it's basically like a Zboard

87
00:06:08,319 --> 00:06:13,600
except just generally built better. And

88
00:06:11,759 --> 00:06:19,520
