WEBVTT 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:07.359 Now, I always liked the concept of the Zboard or the Zedboard, but honestly, 00:00:04.640 --> 00:00:13.120 the build quality always felt a little well suspect to me. Now, what Steeler 00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:17.520 did in their acquisition of ideas on is they took some of the products, 00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:21.840 particularly the Zboard, and just made 00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:24.560 them better, beefier, stronger, faster, 00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:29.519 just better in sort of every way. So, that's where the shift comes from. It 00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:32.399 actually accepts the same key sets as the Zboard. So, if you have an old 00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:36.719 Zboard key set, you can throw it right onto a shift keyboard. And vice versa, 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 00:00:40.239 --> 00:00:45.280 really improved the base station of it 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 00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:52.960 can check that one out on my channel if you want to. This is specifically going 00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:58.239 to be about the World of Warcraft Cataclysm key set for the Zboard. So, I 00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:02.800 have a Zboard. Well, it is for the Zboard, but it's mostly for the shift. 00:00:59.680 --> 00:01:04.159 Okay. So, here we go. This box includes 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 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, 00:01:10.479 --> 00:01:18.159 no. Doesn't really look like there's anything there that I don't already 00:01:13.600 --> 00:01:20.080 know. So, I guess I'll just go ahead and 00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:24.960 start getting this thing opened up. So, you can see it comes with the default 00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:26.479 key set installed. There we are. And I'm 00:01:24.960 --> 00:01:31.920 just going to show you guys as part of this unboxing. So, we got a sticker, 00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:34.479 product guide, uh, yep, little baggie of 00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:40.880 stuff there. We've got a Steel Series Shift keyboard here, which is taped 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:47.119 closed. So, go ahead and remove that tape. Take out the 00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:47.119 keyboard. There we 00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:53.360 are. All right, 00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:58.560 then. Sorry, guys. been having a fair bit of trouble with this here. 00:01:56.119 --> 00:02:02.399 Okay, so shift keyboard. Let's go over this really quick, even though we've 00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:07.040 kind of already done it. Okay, media keys here. Very nice keyboard layout 00:02:04.880 --> 00:02:11.200 that I like a lot. Full size backspace, full size shift keys, all of that good 00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:14.520 stuff. You got your F keys. You got your programmable keys up here, including a 00:02:12.959 --> 00:02:20.400 record button and three different profiles. Okay, you've got u all of your 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:24.120 other sort of normal stuff over here. Number pad, print screen, scroll lock. 00:02:22.160 --> 00:02:29.760 Okay. So, well, that's normal except bam. Whoa. It's all gone. So, if you 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 00:02:32.160 --> 00:02:38.400 of the Shift removable key sets. Okay. 00:02:35.200 --> 00:02:39.760 So, it includes a wrist rest, and I'm 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 00:02:42.160 --> 00:02:49.120 unboxing if you want to see the wrist rest. And it includes a Cataclysm key 00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:52.360 set. Here we are. So, the Cataclysm key set comes wrapped 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 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 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 00:03:06.480 --> 00:03:14.720 was easy. So, all of this stuff over here that is not for gaming. I mean, 00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:16.319 maybe some people bind things to insert 00:03:14.720 --> 00:03:21.519 like gaming functions, although most people probably don't. Okay, so not for 00:03:18.640 --> 00:03:26.400 gaming replaces all that stuff with for gaming. Okay, so here everything over 00:03:23.920 --> 00:03:32.080 here is fairly normal except they've changed a lot of the labels. So check 00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:34.080 this out. So tab is now the Oh, really? 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 00:03:36.200 --> 00:03:42.400 focus. Please focus. I'll have to read 00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:46.239 it for you. Tab is the target nearest enemy button, for example. Okay, so 00:03:44.959 --> 00:03:50.959 there's a lot of stuff here. There's enemy plates and then with the shift, 00:03:48.959 --> 00:03:56.959 friendly plates, there's backpack. Shift is all bags, talent, map, skills, quest, 00:03:54.640 --> 00:04:01.519 social, spell book, action 10, action nine, all kinds of stuff here. So the 00:03:58.799 --> 00:04:07.239 F1s, okay, emote bar one, emote bar two. So thank you, cheer, welcome, charge, 00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:09.920 congrats, incoming, all good stuff here. 00:04:07.239 --> 00:04:15.519 Pet pet one, pet two, pet three, pet four. All right. And then over here, 00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:18.560 this is the gaming area of the keyboard. 00:04:15.519 --> 00:04:21.560 gaming terrain. All right. So, we've got 00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:24.000 a complete replacement for 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 00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:29.040 that. We've 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 00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:43.199 this with your left hand the way you 00:04:41.280 --> 00:04:46.960 would for FPS games. Okay. So, you're going to use this with your right hand 00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:50.160 and then this with your left hand. Okay, I don't quite understand how this works. 00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:54.080 Give me a moment. See, this is the problem with doing these videos like 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 00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:03.120 replacement for WD. So, WD are your 00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:07.280 movement keys. Over here is a whole bunch of supplementary stuff. So, we got 00:05:04.919 --> 00:05:12.160 screenshot, exit vehicle, inspect, invite, trade, raid. Okay, here's all 00:05:09.919 --> 00:05:16.560 your raid functions. So raid chat, ready check, raid warning, raid browser. Okay, 00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:20.960 chat functions. So you got party chat, guild chat, region chat, BG chat, say, 00:05:19.280 --> 00:05:27.520 whisper, yell, emote. So these are all useful things to have automatically 00:05:24.039 --> 00:05:29.520 bound. Okay, and most of these are keys 00:05:27.520 --> 00:05:36.160 that you would already normally find on a keyboard. So check this out. Okay, so 00:05:31.919 --> 00:05:39.280 right here, delete also has a delete key 00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:41.680 over here. Now it looks like it's 00:05:39.280 --> 00:05:47.520 changed the actual location of it. So what would have normally been print 00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:49.600 screen right here actually corresponds 00:05:47.520 --> 00:05:57.520 to insert. So they they've changed the layout slightly, but the the uh here the 00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:59.440 circuitry in the key set itself is going 00:05:57.520 --> 00:06:03.759 to remap that for you without you having to worry too much about it. So pretty 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 00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:13.600 except just generally built better. And 00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:19.520 thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Shift Wow Cataclysm edition. 00:06:17.520 --> 00:06:26.240 Don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech Tips for more unboxings, reviews, and 00:06:22.400 --> 00:06:29.360 other computer and game type videos. 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:29.360 Thanks for watching.
