WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.480 Here at the Razer booth, we're checking out the Orb Weaver. This is a very 00:00:03.760 --> 00:00:11.440 premium, we're talking over $100, dedicated game pack. Welcome to Linus 00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:15.200 Tech Tips at CES 2013. Our trip to the show this year is powered by Corsair, 00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:19.680 maker of quality PC components and peripherals. Our trusted storage partner 00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:23.720 is Seagate Technology, and our trusted networking partner is Lynxys. 00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:31.760 It offers some functionality that a keyboard just plain can't because of the 00:00:29.279 --> 00:00:35.920 ergonomics of a game pad like this. Now, they've also taken some of the design 00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:41.280 concepts that came from newer products like the Oro Boros in terms of allowing 00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:46.160 better ergonomics depending on the size and shape of your hands. So, what makes 00:00:44.160 --> 00:00:49.760 this a premium game pad? Well, it's got green LED backlights. It's got a 00:00:47.680 --> 00:00:56.399 beautiful matte finish. Other than that, check this out, guys. Cherry MX blue 00:00:53.199 --> 00:00:58.879 switches all over the place. These are 00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:03.039 all fully custom key caps so that you can comfortably reach all of them. And 00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:08.000 it is fully mechanical. Even the D-pad on the side right here is mechanical. It 00:01:05.360 --> 00:01:12.960 is 8way mechanical. So it's not kind of an emulated in between diagonals. No, it 00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:17.840 actually has dedicated diagonals. It's fully compatible with Synapse 2.0, which 00:01:15.520 --> 00:01:22.240 means you can program any key to do anything you want to. Whether it's just 00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:25.759 remapping it, whether it's a macro, you can even, it even has a shift 00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:33.119 functionality. So if you want more than 20 fully programmable keys, you can go 00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:36.479 shift over here and program another set 00:01:33.119 --> 00:01:38.880 of 20 key functions. So you can do 40 00:01:36.479 --> 00:01:43.040 things with this game pad alone, which is very, very impressive. Now, I want to 00:01:41.119 --> 00:01:46.159 show you guys how the adjustability works. Down here, you got a couple 00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:52.640 little buttons. You got one right here. So you can pop this out. There's four settings from XL, L, medium, small, and 00:01:51.119 --> 00:01:56.079 then this guy right here has a button that slides out in four settings right 00:01:54.240 --> 00:01:59.680 here. The unit is extremely well built overall, and it feels very solid, which 00:01:58.240 --> 00:02:03.840 is good because the gaming peripherals can get thrown around a little bit. And 00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:07.840 it has, look at this. This is a rubber surface. These are rubber surfaces. 00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:12.560 These are rubber surfaces. You put this thing down, it's not going anywhere. I'm 00:02:10.640 --> 00:02:16.640 pushing on it really hard. Okay, so there you go. Adjustability wise. So, 00:02:14.959 --> 00:02:22.480 I'm going to put it down as low as it goes. There you go. I can reach 00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:26.480 comfortably. I can reach D3. I can reach 18. No problem. Now, what we're going to 00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:30.239 do is we're going to put Slick's hand on this thing. Yeah, that's not going to 00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:33.440 work. That's not going to fly, folks. No, not going to work. Okay, so we're 00:02:31.760 --> 00:02:39.120 going to go ahead going to expand it for his baseball mitts. Slick, tell me what 00:02:36.160 --> 00:02:44.160 you think now. That's a lot better. There we go. That's more like it. So, it 00:02:41.920 --> 00:02:47.440 actually will work no matter what your hand size is. And I'm just trying to 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:53.440 think if there's any Ah, yes. I'm missing one more thing about the customizability. This pin right here. 00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:57.760 Pop that out. And you can actually adjust the positioning of the palm or 00:02:55.519 --> 00:03:00.480 the the inside of your palm rest as well. So, if you want a more flat 00:02:58.959 --> 00:03:04.239 profile, whereas you could see the way Slick held it was more like this. I 00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:08.080 would probably hold it more flat. However, you can even put it in free 00:03:05.920 --> 00:03:12.400 play mode by simply pulling out the pin and then you can adjust it or however 00:03:10.239 --> 00:03:15.040 you want and just have it just sit there and well, I already called it free play 00:03:13.920 --> 00:03:19.760 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 00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:23.599 we can say about the Orb Weaver from Razer.
