00:00:07.279 --> 00:00:15.200
welcome to my unboxing of a product that you probably will not be able to figure

00:00:11.920 --> 00:00:18.160
out what it is at all if i don't uh show

00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:21.439
you this this text right here so like on the front there's like

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

00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:29.920
handcuffs sigh like a hammer warhammer

00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:35.120
another sword another more different sword like a fighter plane a tank a

00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:38.239
bazooka a sniper rifle a rocket launcher

00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:44.079
a um bullpup uh three grenades a stealth fighter or

00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:49.039
bomber bomber sorry sorry uh helicopter like friggin like missiles like on a

00:00:46.879 --> 00:00:53.039
boat or something like they're on a boat a boat a submarine another more

00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:56.239
different boat a different tank a different fighter a sort of sword an axe

00:00:55.039 --> 00:01:00.879
a grenade acai and another sword it is a gaming

00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:05.280
keyboard intended for all these different purposes i mean handcuffs what game

00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:07.920
involves handcuffs um

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

00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:14.799
two ways cored out so you can actually manage your cables durable braided

00:01:13.600 --> 00:01:22.240
cotton corn corn cord cotton corn cotton candy candy corn

00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:26.080
gold plated usb connector led backlight illumination with on off switch twin usb

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

00:01:27.759 --> 00:01:33.200
because that way i can show you all these features on the keyboard itself as

00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:37.200
we go which is a sensible way to do unboxings sometimes on boxers on the

00:01:36.240 --> 00:01:40.960
youtube they like oh this is the black version

00:01:39.520 --> 00:01:44.079
it's available in red and yellow sometimes unboxers on the youtube they

00:01:42.720 --> 00:01:48.799
just like take forever to actually get the product out of the out of the box

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

00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:57.600
but uh whatever

00:01:55.119 --> 00:02:01.680
you make an unboxing channel bam okay key remover tool these are

00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:08.439
really handy if you have to remove your keys then you'll have one

00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:08.439
replacement wasd keys

00:02:12.720 --> 00:02:19.520
okay i'm sure we'll find out why when we look closer at the box

00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:22.560
ah there's the braided cord looks very nice

00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:25.840
gold plating in there which is valuable gold plating out here which doesn't do a

00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:30.720
whole lot remember gold plating is good for uh good for connectivity not necessarily

00:02:29.040 --> 00:02:34.800
conductivity silver plating would actually be better for conductivity

00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:38.800
incidentally so would copper i believe but

00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:41.519
gold is malleable and is also very resistant to

00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:47.200
corrosion so no matter how long a gold plated connector sits around it will never

00:02:45.440 --> 00:02:51.120
corrode and it will always make good contact

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

00:02:53.200 --> 00:02:59.360
keyboard cover in a while there's a uh

00:02:57.040 --> 00:03:02.840
dvd that you should probably ignore get the latest from Gigabyte

00:03:01.760 --> 00:03:06.879
in terms of software here we go so i haven't seen a

00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:10.800
keyboard cover like a dust cover like this in a long time check that out

00:03:09.040 --> 00:03:14.879
very nice once again

00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:18.159
use protection very good in fact oh look at that you

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

00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:27.040
uh you know like like cheesy uh cheese in between the keys which is

00:03:25.920 --> 00:03:30.239
really hard to get out you know like cheetos when you use when you eat

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

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

00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:42.480
problem many gamers face so i'm glad that Gigabyte has engineered a solution

00:03:41.519 --> 00:03:47.920
to this excellent okay what do we got

00:03:45.760 --> 00:03:51.120
g keys programmable keys with an indentation on there not an indentation

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

00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:59.920
three modes for the g keys we've also got uh mute

00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:02.480
and yeah we're gonna have to figure out what those are

00:04:02.640 --> 00:04:08.239
ham touch and slide volume control sweet

00:04:06.720 --> 00:04:11.519
interruption free volume control device during engaged gaming activity computer

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

00:04:14.799 --> 00:04:21.359
increase or decrease linearly very cool

00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:24.800
very cool indeed ghost macro engine five macro keys per mode to make up to 25

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

00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:34.400
that one four megabit onboard memory enables up to 100 programmable macro sets

00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:39.040
predefined key button to switch between easily software features ease drag and

00:04:36.320 --> 00:04:42.639
drop function as you guys know gaming keyboards often come down to the

00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:47.440
software now this is unique this i actually want to like sort of see see

00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:47.440
what i think of

00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:52.560
okay you know what i can't

00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:57.520
i can't actually feel that much of a difference when typing but Gigabyte has

00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:04.000
specifically engineered the keyboard to have different

00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:09.440
force required for different keys on the keyboard so the lightest keys are your

00:05:06.479 --> 00:05:09.440
shifts your

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

00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:21.680
your heaviest keys are your space your control your wasd and your top four

00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:25.759
number keys which you're usually mashing with a ring finger or middle finger or

00:05:23.840 --> 00:05:30.639
an index finger whichever the case may be your medium keys are sort of mostly your

00:05:28.880 --> 00:05:34.080
typing stuff so whether this makes that much of a

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

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

00:05:41.440 --> 00:05:48.800
what ghosting means ghosting occurs when you press two keys and then

00:05:46.880 --> 00:05:51.840
it registers of like a third random keystroke it usually happens with more

00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:55.919
than two though it's more like five or six at a time

00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:59.199
so most people don't have more than like six

00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:02.960
keys matched at a given time unless they use their face to type

00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:05.520
but hey there it is gift

00:06:03.919 --> 00:06:11.199
silicone keyboard protector and additional wasd alternatives

00:06:07.919 --> 00:06:12.080
so i guess these are like um

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

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

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

00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:29.600
more buttons it's a membrane keyboard so the key

00:06:27.919 --> 00:06:32.639
switches aren't really anything to write home about although what they've done

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

00:06:35.919 --> 00:06:40.560
kind of feature there you go membrane keys

00:06:41.520 --> 00:06:47.759
put that back on cover up the membranes um the wrist rest

00:06:46.400 --> 00:06:51.680
on this is actually fairly unique i've only seen one other keyboard and like a

00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:56.639
gaming keyboard that has a wrist rest like this and that's the steelseries 7g

00:06:54.479 --> 00:07:00.160
and my wife actually uses the 7g and refuses to use any other keyboard not

00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:03.520
because she particularly likes the feel of the keys and the typing experience

00:07:01.919 --> 00:07:06.960
because but because she loves the big wrist rest and

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

00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:15.440
well love it it's good here we have the cable management stuff

00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:19.759
so you can either come out in the middle or on the side we also have

00:07:17.520 --> 00:07:23.199
flip stands with rubber grips on this side so you can add rubber grips on this

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

00:07:27.440 --> 00:07:33.840
or all over the keyboard this is awesome look at this this is actually screwed on

00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:39.280
instead of using cheesy plastic clips okay how many of you out there own a g15

00:07:37.599 --> 00:07:44.639
how many of you out there broke the wrist rest off your g15 i did

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

00:07:46.400 --> 00:07:51.840
and it used little horrible plastic clips this is amazing this is

00:07:49.919 --> 00:07:54.960
engineering a solution to a problem that people have

00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:58.400
very good job Gigabyte um so i think that pretty much covers it

00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:02.639
thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the avia from Gigabyte

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

00:08:05.840 --> 00:08:10.879
sorry that here and here

00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:15.520

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

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

00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:27.759
keyboard um so that we can see the backlight

00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:27.759
come on let me just make sure it's done

00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:32.800

here select you want to have a look at the light actually no nevermind we'll see our horrible studio

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

00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:44.720
backlight on this black keyboard so thank you for checking out my unboxing

00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:49.440
