This is a very premium, we're talking over $100, dedicated game pack. Welcome to Linus Tech Tips at CES 2013. Our trip to the show this year is powered by Corsair, maker of quality PC components and peripherals. Our trusted storage partner is Seagate Technology, and our trusted networking partner is Lynxys. It offers some functionality that a keyboard just plain can't because of the ergonomics of a game pad like this. Now, they've also taken some of the design concepts that came from newer products like the Oro Boros in terms of allowing better ergonomics depending on the size and shape of your hands. So, what makes this a premium game pad? Well, it's got green LED backlights. It's got a beautiful matte finish. Other than that, check this out, guys. Cherry MX blue switches all over the place. These are all fully custom key caps so that you can comfortably reach all of them. And it is fully mechanical. Even the D-pad on the side right here is mechanical. It is 8way mechanical. So it's not kind of an emulated in between diagonals. No, it actually has dedicated diagonals. It's fully compatible with Synapse 2.0, which means you can program any key to do anything you want to. Whether it's just remapping it, whether it's a macro, you can even, it even has a shift functionality. So if you want more than 20 fully programmable keys, you can go shift over here and program another set of 20 key functions. So you can do 40 things with this game pad alone, which is very, very impressive. Now, I want to show you guys how the adjustability works. Down here, you got a couple little buttons. You got one right here. So you can pop this out. There's four settings from XL, L, medium, small, and then this guy right here has a button that slides out in four settings right here. The unit is extremely well built overall, and it feels very solid, which is good because the gaming peripherals can get thrown around a little bit. And it has, look at this. This is a rubber surface. These are rubber surfaces. These are rubber surfaces. You put this thing down, it's not going anywhere. I'm pushing on it really hard. Okay, so there you go. Adjustability wise. So, I'm going to put it down as low as it goes. There you go. I can reach comfortably. I can reach D3. I can reach 18. No problem. Now, what we're going to do is we're going to put Slick's hand on this thing. Yeah, that's not going to work. That's not going to fly, folks. No, not going to work. Okay, so we're going to go ahead going to expand it for his baseball mitts. Slick, tell me what you think now. That's a lot better. There we go. That's more like it. So, it actually will work no matter what your hand size is. And I'm just trying to think if there's any Ah, yes. I'm missing one more thing about the customizability. This pin right here. Pop that out. And you can actually adjust the positioning of the palm or the the inside of your palm rest as well. So, if you want a more flat profile, whereas you could see the way Slick held it was more like this. I would probably hold it more flat. However, you can even put it in free play mode by simply pulling out the pin and then you can adjust it or however you want and just have it just sit there and well, I already called it free play mode and that's what it's called, so I don't have another word for it. I think that pretty much covers everything that we can say about the Orb Weaver from Razer. Don't forget to check out all of our CES 2013 coverage by subscribing to Linus Tech Tips.
