WEBVTT

00:00:00.599 --> 00:00:08.580
I got a wounding 68g how did I get it

00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:11.639
anyway let's open it up and take a look

00:00:08.580 --> 00:00:14.099
at the super cool lekker analog switches

00:00:11.639 --> 00:00:19.199
that are in this guy wooding makes some pretty good stuff but they're mostly

00:00:16.020 --> 00:00:21.539
known for using analog switches and for

00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:25.500
having basically the fastest keyboard you're gonna try or one of the fastest

00:00:23.520 --> 00:00:31.140
at the very least there's basically zero latency sub 1 millisecond is what they

00:00:28.140 --> 00:00:34.680
like to say uh how do I open this from

00:00:31.140 --> 00:00:36.300
either side this is Sammy's so I want to

00:00:34.680 --> 00:00:40.500
be a little careful I don't want to break any packaging but let's take a

00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:44.340
look at what we get in the Box itself we have got our keyboard it says take

00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:47.460
control and the cool wrist strap I've actually seen these before and then

00:00:46.020 --> 00:00:53.399
we've got this little greetings from looting that I I'm gonna open I'm sorry

00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:55.620
Sammy I'll try so hard not to

00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:59.760
not to ruin anything for you I've got a little greeting card that's super cute

00:00:57.539 --> 00:01:02.820
it's a really minor thing but you know it just it's just cute when you buy it

00:01:01.500 --> 00:01:07.619
and you open it up it makes it feel just a little a little nice about your purchase but I'll try to put that back

00:01:05.939 --> 00:01:11.159
for Sammy since it's got nothing else in there we've got a quick start guide that

00:01:09.180 --> 00:01:15.119
you can use a QR code to access well that's pretty handy as much as I don't

00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:19.380
like to gate things with phones yeah it's just you know it's less less uh

00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:24.240
less environmental destruction speaking of which we've got a plastic little

00:01:21.360 --> 00:01:28.619
protector here what just fell oh cardboard what else do

00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:33.600
we have we've got a couple of extra switches in here so our wooding 60hg is

00:01:31.740 --> 00:01:37.259
hot swappable so if you need to swap any of those out you can do it while it's

00:01:34.860 --> 00:01:41.040
hot no problem I'm guessing this is a part of the wrist rest to attach it a

00:01:39.420 --> 00:01:45.960
little rubber piece here with some screws and then what else do we have I

00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:48.960
don't know what these screws are for probably part of the keyboard that's

00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:54.000
actually kind of nice you know you don't usually strip them when you're taking it apart and putting it back together but

00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:57.060
it can happen so yeah I'm actually really impressed that they sent it with

00:01:55.259 --> 00:02:01.619
extra screws buy box now comes with two extra lequis

00:02:00.360 --> 00:02:07.680
switches these lacquer switches are basically like a normal switch except for instead of any leaves or pins it's

00:02:05.700 --> 00:02:11.400
just a hall effect sensor what that does though is lets them be analog you can

00:02:09.780 --> 00:02:14.879
move it a little bit forward if your character just wants to walk but you

00:02:13.020 --> 00:02:17.940
could also do Full Tilt forward if you want to run so you can do that with your

00:02:16.440 --> 00:02:22.620
keyboard now these were actually in the last wooden keyboard we checked out the 2he I don't think our firmware was

00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:27.540
working very well and so we're going to give it a much better shot this time the

00:02:24.720 --> 00:02:33.300
nice thing about the 60 he is that it is obviously a 60 keyboard so it is much

00:02:30.480 --> 00:02:36.720
smaller that kind of layout and size is also just a lot more popular right now

00:02:34.739 --> 00:02:39.900
people realize that not a lot of them actually need their efro as long as they

00:02:38.459 --> 00:02:45.480
have a function key and a good chunk of people don't need a numpad or at least not an attached one if you do feel like

00:02:43.200 --> 00:02:50.940
you buy a smaller keyboard like a tkl 60 65 whatever at any point you can buy a

00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:54.420
separate numpad plug it in you should be good to go if you need that like for

00:02:52.379 --> 00:02:57.840
bank statements or Excel entries or anything like that the nice thing about

00:02:55.860 --> 00:03:02.280
this though is that it's just tiny it's tiny tiny tiny and we get that big gamer

00:03:00.300 --> 00:03:04.800
feel from it I will be frank I don't know why they have a wrist strap there's

00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:09.480
a lot of things I do get about this keyboard that are actually really cool and great and the wrist strap kind of

00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:13.620
looks neat I guess at the end of the day you can just choose to not install it if

00:03:11.580 --> 00:03:16.920
that's what you prefer but you know it's it's the whole experience we want to we

00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:20.480
want to get this whole thing yeah it's for that hardcore gamer feel

00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:25.500
and then we just grew it together and

00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:30.560
then boom you've got a wrist strap making sure I do it right because it's your keyboard I don't know what's going

00:03:28.440 --> 00:03:30.560
on

00:03:31.620 --> 00:03:37.140
so yeah it's like a WeMo while we're looking at the back though I'm gonna

00:03:35.340 --> 00:03:40.260
check out what it says here as well as the feet they're not adjustable so

00:03:38.940 --> 00:03:47.159
you're not going to get one two three stage feet or anything like that but they've got four rubber pads here and uh

00:03:45.180 --> 00:03:52.019
you know it should do just fine it's not the heftiest keyboard it's about 605

00:03:49.379 --> 00:03:55.799
grams but the reality is with something like this that you want small and a

00:03:54.360 --> 00:04:01.980
wrist strap to keep it ready to go you kind of want it to be a little light it's a plastic shell there is a steel

00:03:59.819 --> 00:04:06.000
plate in here so if you want to change that out feel free that's kind of the

00:04:03.900 --> 00:04:11.459
nice thing about the wooding 60 he is that because it's a 60 there are a ton

00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:12.840
of 60 cases that you can just pop it in

00:04:11.459 --> 00:04:16.380
something else it'll probably sound and look a lot nicer not that they've done a

00:04:14.700 --> 00:04:20.699
bad job I actually kind of like the little wooden crown logo one nice thing

00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:25.620
that I didn't really point out is on the back it says we made the wooding 60 he

00:04:23.100 --> 00:04:28.440
for you please take good care of her oh it's really cute I'm not gonna try to

00:04:27.300 --> 00:04:32.340
read those because they're all hand script and I can't read it yeah it looks

00:04:31.080 --> 00:04:37.979
good and if you like the black and yellow aesthetic then you know what hey this is maybe the keyboard for you for

00:04:35.580 --> 00:04:43.139
example this is a 65 so it won't quite fit but we just built the tofu 65 2.0

00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:48.600
for a different video think of the power and capability of a keyboard like this

00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:52.680
in a nice solid aluminum case like this oh my God I bet you it's just fantastic

00:04:51.060 --> 00:04:56.759
and you can do that if you want to we're not going to do it today but it's really

00:04:55.020 --> 00:05:00.419
nice having that option you know just initial Impressions it

00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:05.759
looks and sounds pretty decent we're going to do a little more thorough typing test and game on it but not

00:05:03.840 --> 00:05:10.500
before a word from our sponsor Corsair thanks to Corsair for sponsoring today's

00:05:07.500 --> 00:05:12.479
video their Xenon Flex is a 45 inch OLED

00:05:10.500 --> 00:05:16.740
monitor that bends to your needs no literally it seamlessly bends from a

00:05:14.699 --> 00:05:20.820
flat Ultra wide monitor to an 800 R curve plus with its 1000 nit Peak

00:05:19.020 --> 00:05:25.139
brightness and a matte non-reflective display you can stay fully immersed in

00:05:22.979 --> 00:05:29.039
Games movies and even the most thrilling of spreadsheets it has burn-in

00:05:26.699 --> 00:05:32.820
protection and a three-year warranty so you can rest assured that Corsair has

00:05:30.840 --> 00:05:36.240
your back to add a little flexibility to your life check out Corsair Xenia on

00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:40.380
Flex in the description below probably the best feature at least in my opinion

00:05:38.580 --> 00:05:45.120
is the fact that their utility software is called utility which is just

00:05:42.320 --> 00:05:48.840
absolutely Splendid name you can do a lot with it you can change the RGB you

00:05:46.919 --> 00:05:53.639
can change the brightness you can change the actuation points on all the switches

00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:57.419
you can customize it to whatever you want do you want your switches to

00:05:55.259 --> 00:06:01.020
actuate once you hit basically almost nothing like 0.1 millimeter normally

00:05:59.520 --> 00:06:05.520
it's your mouse but you never know maybe it's some weird game and you've got to just Mash a key you can do that so that

00:06:03.960 --> 00:06:10.800
as soon as you let off the press it's ready to go again you don't have to release the key all the way for it to

00:06:08.880 --> 00:06:14.039
register that it's ready to go so you can go just stay right on the bottom

00:06:12.479 --> 00:06:18.479
there and just smash it as fast as you can luckily you know button mashing is

00:06:15.900 --> 00:06:22.440
uh no longer as much of a thing in games not a qts are kind of dead but they

00:06:20.580 --> 00:06:27.660
still come up every now and then now as for this keyboard is it even detected

00:06:25.380 --> 00:06:34.139
yep okay now what I really need to know is how is this profile working digital

00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:37.620
profile analog profile so what if I change the brightness down if there's a

00:06:35.880 --> 00:06:42.240
save to keyboard but it's grayed out like it definitely changes like as soon

00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:47.880
as I change something find device here let me find devices yes 68g connect okay

00:06:46.380 --> 00:06:54.120
on utility web you have to give permission that's fine device found

00:06:50.479 --> 00:06:55.740
update sure uh while this is updating as

00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:59.940
you could see before there is definitely RGB on the keyboard and that's really

00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:03.840
nice because while the keycaps are ABS they're a nice shine through ABS so it's

00:07:01.740 --> 00:07:07.199
really easy to see the RGB right through them that's kind of it's a surprising

00:07:05.460 --> 00:07:10.979
sticking point for a lot of people they ask me you know how do I get keycaps

00:07:08.940 --> 00:07:14.400
where I can see them with the RGB like I want to see the letters and the legend

00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:17.460
lit up and yeah it's just shine through keycaps they're not that hard to find

00:07:15.840 --> 00:07:20.880
It's just sometimes harder to find a really nice quality set yeah it just

00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:25.139
says you need to give permissions to the bootloader called wooding restore and I

00:07:23.340 --> 00:07:29.220
click the give permission button and then it's like it wants to connect to

00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:34.319
the device wouldn't restore paired I say okay connect

00:07:31.979 --> 00:07:38.160
maybe I have to hit continue again we were trying it with the web utility

00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:41.400
and it didn't work very well but once we downloaded the proper app set it up

00:07:39.900 --> 00:07:44.940
updated all the firmware and all that it seems good to go now if I go back from

00:07:43.080 --> 00:07:50.520
performance to color and I change the brightness off means off half means half

00:07:48.300 --> 00:07:53.400
and full means full jelly what's jelly like

00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:56.039
oh that's cool it's like Ripple but a little different that's sweet I you know

00:07:54.900 --> 00:08:00.419
I'm not crazy about this I would probably just leave it on like No Effects and keep it on just playing RGB

00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:03.900
or I'd set it to a primary color we're just gonna set it to wait

00:08:02.039 --> 00:08:07.080
and then performance mode though this is super cool here's where we've got our

00:08:05.220 --> 00:08:11.940
lacquer switch and then you can the set the per key actuation so if you only

00:08:09.300 --> 00:08:15.960
want like your W for moving forward to actuate at the very top you can set it

00:08:13.380 --> 00:08:19.379
to just W which is super cool left click on the keys to select them or while

00:08:17.520 --> 00:08:23.520
holding down left click select multiple Keys move the actuation slider to give

00:08:21.660 --> 00:08:27.660
them custom actuation points then wrap the trigger dynamically actuates and

00:08:25.620 --> 00:08:31.020
resets your keys based on your intention to press or release the key it starts

00:08:29.520 --> 00:08:34.979
and ends after the actuation point tachyon mode optimizes your keyboard for

00:08:33.060 --> 00:08:39.180
input speed when enabled every keepass responds as fast as possible the RGB

00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:42.959
effects are disabled analog stability might be affected okay well I don't want

00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:46.440
to affect analog stability but let's say you don't want to set actuation points

00:08:44.820 --> 00:08:49.620
you just want basically one of the fastest keyboards on the market so that

00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:54.839
you can't blame your equipment anymore when you dot you can only blame yourself you miss that shot it's not because the

00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:59.459
keyboard or the mouse sucks one nice thing too is it comes with a bunch of different profiles that comes set up

00:08:57.240 --> 00:09:03.120
with just typing rapid bracing and mix movement I don't understand why mix

00:09:01.560 --> 00:09:06.360
movement is thing but sure I'm just going to stick with typing profox it

00:09:04.560 --> 00:09:10.440
seems pretty typical across the board at 0.8 millimeter actuation for us the cool

00:09:08.820 --> 00:09:14.580
thing too is that this thing comes with eight megabytes of onboard memory so you

00:09:12.300 --> 00:09:18.420
can save all of these profiles to the keyboard so if you take it and you go

00:09:16.560 --> 00:09:21.779
somewhere else it's all still set up exactly the way you like it this thing

00:09:20.100 --> 00:09:25.820
does come stock with a bunch of poron and EPDM foam layers and

00:09:26.100 --> 00:09:33.660
it doesn't sound bad the space bar and some of the stabilizers could use a

00:09:31.140 --> 00:09:36.959
little bit of work but it's not awful by any means and I don't think that you

00:09:35.459 --> 00:09:40.200
like actually need to update them yourself I think

00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:45.000
that if you want to just buy this and leave it stock that is perfectly acceptable and it's going to be you know

00:09:43.620 --> 00:09:49.500
surprisingly impressive to a lot of people many of you if you're not used to

00:09:46.800 --> 00:09:53.100
a 60 or 65 keyboard for anything that's not on the board that's missing you can

00:09:51.420 --> 00:09:56.880
hit this function key and it basically acts as an extra layer of key presses so

00:09:55.500 --> 00:10:03.560
for instance I don't have an F5 to refresh I'm going to hit function five and that works as F5 basically let's go

00:10:09.300 --> 00:10:14.519
104 96 it's not my fastest it's actually

00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:18.180
definitely one of the slower tests I've done and you know what while a lot of

00:10:16.620 --> 00:10:22.260
you are going to buy this specifically for the analog switches one thing to

00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:27.480
remember even though this is a hot swap board you can't just pop in tactiles if

00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:31.019
you like tactiles the lecture switches are linear that's kind of on purpose so

00:10:29.459 --> 00:10:34.860
that you can have all of that play in the actuation for us and like the analog

00:10:32.940 --> 00:10:38.820
movement that you want to experience is only really going to be available

00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:42.360
properly at least in a linear switch if you like linears that's great but if

00:10:40.620 --> 00:10:46.260
you're really into tactiles or clickies this thing honestly might not be for you

00:10:44.160 --> 00:10:49.560
that's kind of a really big deal for a lot of people but for gamers everyone

00:10:47.820 --> 00:10:53.040
seems to love really light linear switches to have that instant kind of

00:10:51.180 --> 00:10:56.820
response I'm really into tactiles right now so it's not so great for me as is

00:10:55.079 --> 00:11:01.260
evidenced by this typing test but that's not why you're buying the board you're not buying the board for that so let's

00:10:59.339 --> 00:11:04.620
play some games and look at that I'm going like eight kilometers eight miles

00:11:02.640 --> 00:11:08.940
an hour nine miles an hour whatever and then I press it all the way and rein so

00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:12.660
like pedal to the metal oh man and for like it's such a big deal for racing

00:11:10.920 --> 00:11:16.380
games without a controller when you're pressing keys instead of using a

00:11:14.579 --> 00:11:22.140
thumbstick a lot of the time pressing down a or D to turn left to right you're

00:11:19.260 --> 00:11:24.839
going to like do a full turn or a full turn you know so you're just like

00:11:23.220 --> 00:11:29.100
tapping it a lot of the time to try to get that really like Smooth curve in a

00:11:26.940 --> 00:11:33.240
racing game whereas with this you actually have the full capability to

00:11:31.019 --> 00:11:37.079
just you know just just turn just turn a little bit you'd have to play with the

00:11:35.100 --> 00:11:41.100
actuation points quite a bit to get it exactly where you want it but with the

00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:44.459
turns it's definitely a lot more difficult to just tap it a little bit

00:11:42.839 --> 00:11:47.880
while you're playing but yeah it's honestly working and it's honestly like

00:11:46.140 --> 00:11:54.779
really really cool I don't think I've ever wanted to feature more in keyboards

00:11:52.740 --> 00:11:59.339
just all the time I don't know how much I'd actually use it personally uh when

00:11:57.360 --> 00:12:02.880
it comes to racing games or fighting games or what else do I use a controller

00:12:01.620 --> 00:12:08.880
for that's pretty much it anything involving shooting on basically keyboard and mouse well it definitely works the

00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:12.959
RGB looks good it feels and sounds pretty decent especially for you know a

00:12:11.040 --> 00:12:17.640
keyboard that's more of a gaming Centric keyboard at 175 dollars though while it

00:12:15.839 --> 00:12:20.760
might not be the keyboard for me it could definitely be the keyboard for you

00:12:19.380 --> 00:12:25.019
especially when you're comparing it to more other like gaming Brands like

00:12:22.560 --> 00:12:29.700
Corsair or Logitech honestly I would buy the wooding every time if those are your

00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:34.740
options there are plenty of other options if you want a really nice and

00:12:32.579 --> 00:12:38.339
fancy quote-unquote mechanical keyboard but the reality is if you want analog

00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:43.200
switches this is one of your only options if not the only option so yes

00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:46.620
I'm gonna say that I would totally buy the booting 60he if it's kind of what

00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:51.120
you're looking for I think it's not a bad buy and uh go for it it's a pretty

00:12:49.139 --> 00:12:54.420
cool keyboard thanks for watching this is ShortCircuit if you want to watch

00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:58.260
another show circuit about keyboards we did the key boom recently that thing was

00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:01.700
really cool it was clear see-through pretty similar price too
