00:00:07,279 --> 00:00:15,200
welcome to my unboxing of a product that you probably will not be able to figure

2
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:18,160
out what it is at all if i don't uh show

3
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:21,439
you this this text right here so like on the front there's like

4
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:24,960
okay we're gonna try and figure out what all this stuff is so there's a sword

5
00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:29,920
handcuffs sigh like a hammer warhammer

6
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:35,120
another sword another more different sword like a fighter plane a tank a

7
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:38,239
bazooka a sniper rifle a rocket launcher

8
00:00:36,719 --> 00:00:44,079
a um bullpup uh three grenades a stealth fighter or

9
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:49,039
bomber bomber sorry sorry uh helicopter like friggin like missiles like on a

10
00:00:46,879 --> 00:00:53,039
boat or something like they're on a boat a boat a submarine another more

11
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:56,239
different boat a different tank a different fighter a sort of sword an axe

12
00:00:55,039 --> 00:01:00,879
a grenade acai and another sword it is a gaming

13
00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:05,280
keyboard intended for all these different purposes i mean handcuffs what game

14
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,920
involves handcuffs um

15
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:12,000
so let's have a look at all the different things that we have on the box

16
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,799
two ways cored out so you can actually manage your cables durable braided

17
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:22,240
cotton corn corn cord cotton corn cotton candy candy corn

18
00:01:20,159 --> 00:01:26,080
gold plated usb connector led backlight illumination with on off switch twin usb

19
00:01:24,159 --> 00:01:29,119
2.0 ports on the two sides you know what let's actually get the keyboard open

20
00:01:27,759 --> 00:01:33,200
because that way i can show you all these features on the keyboard itself as

21
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:37,200
we go which is a sensible way to do unboxings sometimes on boxers on the

22
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,960
youtube they like oh this is the black version

23
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:44,079
it's available in red and yellow sometimes unboxers on the youtube they

24
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:48,799
just like take forever to actually get the product out of the out of the box

25
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:52,880
and i know i'm guilty of that at times at times i'm the worst about that

26
00:01:51,439 --> 00:01:57,600
but uh whatever

27
00:01:55,119 --> 00:02:01,680
you make an unboxing channel bam okay key remover tool these are

28
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:08,439
really handy if you have to remove your keys then you'll have one

29
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,439
replacement wasd keys

30
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:19,520
okay i'm sure we'll find out why when we look closer at the box

31
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:22,560
ah there's the braided cord looks very nice

32
00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:25,840
gold plating in there which is valuable gold plating out here which doesn't do a

33
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:30,720
whole lot remember gold plating is good for uh good for connectivity not necessarily

34
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:34,800
conductivity silver plating would actually be better for conductivity

35
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:38,800
incidentally so would copper i believe but

36
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:41,519
gold is malleable and is also very resistant to

37
00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:47,200
corrosion so no matter how long a gold plated connector sits around it will never

38
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:51,120
corrode and it will always make good contact

39
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:57,040
also makes it able to do more plugs and unplugs look at that i haven't seen a

40
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:59,360
keyboard cover in a while there's a uh

41
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:02,840
dvd that you should probably ignore get the latest from Gigabyte

42
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:06,879
in terms of software here we go so i haven't seen a

43
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:10,800
keyboard cover like a dust cover like this in a long time check that out

44
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:14,879
very nice once again

45
00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:18,159
use protection very good in fact oh look at that you

46
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:23,680
can even leave it on i remember these the ones that you just like left on and use the keyboard so you don't get like

47
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:27,040
uh you know like like cheesy uh cheese in between the keys which is

48
00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:30,239
really hard to get out you know like cheetos when you use when you eat

49
00:03:28,959 --> 00:03:34,720
cheetos and then you use your keyboard right away you can get like the bit the crumbs like stuck around your fingers

50
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:39,440
and then you type and it knocks it into the keyboard and it's really hard to get it out so this is i mean this is a

51
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:42,480
problem many gamers face so i'm glad that Gigabyte has engineered a solution

52
00:03:41,519 --> 00:03:47,920
to this excellent okay what do we got

53
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:51,120
g keys programmable keys with an indentation on there not an indentation

54
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:55,360
a bump on this one so you can easily feel which is which that's very nice

55
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:59,920
three modes for the g keys we've also got uh mute

56
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,480
and yeah we're gonna have to figure out what those are

57
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:08,239
ham touch and slide volume control sweet

58
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,519
interruption free volume control device during engaged gaming activity computer

59
00:04:10,319 --> 00:04:18,560
stays in current mode without going in and out of games keep the sensor on the far left or the far right volume will

60
00:04:14,799 --> 00:04:21,359
increase or decrease linearly very cool

61
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:24,800
very cool indeed ghost macro engine five macro keys per mode to make up to 25

62
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:28,720
sets of macros with a total of five modes change modes easily with mode button on the keyboard we already saw

63
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:34,400
that one four megabit onboard memory enables up to 100 programmable macro sets

64
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:39,040
predefined key button to switch between easily software features ease drag and

65
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:42,639
drop function as you guys know gaming keyboards often come down to the

66
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:47,440
software now this is unique this i actually want to like sort of see see

67
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,440
what i think of

68
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,560
okay you know what i can't

69
00:04:52,639 --> 00:04:57,520
i can't actually feel that much of a difference when typing but Gigabyte has

70
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:04,000
specifically engineered the keyboard to have different

71
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:09,440
force required for different keys on the keyboard so the lightest keys are your

72
00:05:06,479 --> 00:05:09,440
shifts your

73
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:16,240
z and x all these ones that you have to hit with your pinky while you're gaming

74
00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:21,680
your heaviest keys are your space your control your wasd and your top four

75
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:25,759
number keys which you're usually mashing with a ring finger or middle finger or

76
00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:30,639
an index finger whichever the case may be your medium keys are sort of mostly your

77
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:34,080
typing stuff so whether this makes that much of a

78
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:38,960
difference for gaming hard to say but there you go at least they're thinking about it 20 anti-ghosting keys so i

79
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:44,240
press up to 20 of these at a time without any ghosting so if you guys know

80
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:48,800
what ghosting means ghosting occurs when you press two keys and then

81
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:51,840
it registers of like a third random keystroke it usually happens with more

82
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:55,919
than two though it's more like five or six at a time

83
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:59,199
so most people don't have more than like six

84
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:02,960
keys matched at a given time unless they use their face to type

85
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:05,520
but hey there it is gift

86
00:06:03,919 --> 00:06:11,199
silicone keyboard protector and additional wasd alternatives

87
00:06:07,919 --> 00:06:12,080
so i guess these are like um

88
00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:17,280
oh nice they have like a soft touch feel like um oh that's kind of neat so they

89
00:06:15,919 --> 00:06:20,160
feel a little bit different so i guess you can find them more easily so let's

90
00:06:19,039 --> 00:06:25,840
have a look at the rest so there's your num lock light caps lock light scroll lock light there's your mute

91
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:29,600
more buttons it's a membrane keyboard so the key

92
00:06:27,919 --> 00:06:32,639
switches aren't really anything to write home about although what they've done

93
00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:37,360
with the different elastic force is going to be sort of i people will either love it or hate it i think

94
00:06:35,919 --> 00:06:40,560
kind of feature there you go membrane keys

95
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:47,759
put that back on cover up the membranes um the wrist rest

96
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:51,680
on this is actually fairly unique i've only seen one other keyboard and like a

97
00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:56,639
gaming keyboard that has a wrist rest like this and that's the steelseries 7g

98
00:06:54,479 --> 00:07:00,160
and my wife actually uses the 7g and refuses to use any other keyboard not

99
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:03,520
because she particularly likes the feel of the keys and the typing experience

100
00:07:01,919 --> 00:07:06,960
because but because she loves the big wrist rest and

101
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:12,479
yeah it's it's actually it's one of those things once again you love it or you hate it but if you love it then

102
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:15,440
well love it it's good here we have the cable management stuff

103
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:19,759
so you can either come out in the middle or on the side we also have

104
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:23,199
flip stands with rubber grips on this side so you can add rubber grips on this

105
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:29,199
side so it's not going to move anywhere you've got actually lots of little rubber grippy-ness all over the keypad

106
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:33,840
or all over the keyboard this is awesome look at this this is actually screwed on

107
00:07:31,759 --> 00:07:39,280
instead of using cheesy plastic clips okay how many of you out there own a g15

108
00:07:37,599 --> 00:07:44,639
how many of you out there broke the wrist rest off your g15 i did

109
00:07:43,199 --> 00:07:47,680
i didn't even know this but slick just put up his hand because it was cheesy

110
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:51,840
and it used little horrible plastic clips this is amazing this is

111
00:07:49,919 --> 00:07:54,960
engineering a solution to a problem that people have

112
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:58,400
very good job Gigabyte um so i think that pretty much covers it

113
00:07:56,879 --> 00:08:02,639
thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the avia from Gigabyte

114
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:07,680
oh yeah incidentally there's a couple more usb ports here they have rubber plugs in them there's sort of oh no

115
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:10,879
sorry that here and here

116
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:15,520
so you can plug in your mouse or like usb drive nothing oh there's your light

117
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:18,240
on and off switch for the backlight and i'm just i'm heading this way so that i

118
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:22,720
can plug in the keyboard slick doesn't have to follow me you can just look at the

119
00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:27,759
keyboard um so that we can see the backlight

120
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,759
come on let me just make sure it's done

121
00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:32,800
oh it's on yeah okay give me a sec give me a sec we've got a lot of lights on

122
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:37,200
here select you want to have a look at the light actually no nevermind we'll see our horrible studio

123
00:08:35,839 --> 00:08:41,599
uh so i'm just going to turn the lights down so you guys can see the red

124
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:44,720
backlight on this black keyboard so thank you for checking out my unboxing

125
