Linus Tech Tips coverage of CES 2014 is brought to you by NCIX.com, your source

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:11,120
for great technology, selection, and service along with Corsair Memory and

3
00:00:09,519 --> 00:00:17,440
Western Digital. Hey guys, we're here at the Rocket Suite and the first thing they wanted to show me was the Riyos TKL

4
00:00:14,559 --> 00:00:21,439
Pro or 10 keyless Pro. And right away, you can notice it has a fixed wrist

5
00:00:19,359 --> 00:00:25,119
rest, a really big fixed wrist rest. You don't see that very often, especially in

6
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:28,880
that large form format. I like this a lot because you can see it actually is

7
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:32,640
able to work for my hand. my hand actually positions properly on WD with

8
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:36,880
my hand still on the wrist rest which is not super common. I have to use

9
00:00:34,239 --> 00:00:39,600
detachable ones usually um but not the detachable one that comes with the

10
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,559
keyboard so I can leave it on my desk shifted down away from the keyboard so

11
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:47,840
it's proper positioning. So that's actually pretty cool to see. Not a ton of people are doing fixed wrist wraps

12
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:51,440
for 10 keyboards. But reasoning for this is a lot of keyless keyboards it's it's

13
00:00:50,239 --> 00:00:56,160
people buying it because they're gaming and they don't need the numpad. It's not necessarily people buying it because

14
00:00:54,239 --> 00:01:00,079
they have this tiny little miniature desk that can't fit it. So they're

15
00:00:58,399 --> 00:01:04,879
they're not super worried about saving space in this way. It's just there so

16
00:01:03,039 --> 00:01:08,880
that they can save space so that your your shoulder width is more natural

17
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,840
because a lot of people find with really wide keyboards with macro keys on it and

18
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:16,720
all that kind of stuff, you end up doing a spread eagle formation with your hands. Whereas if you could have it

19
00:01:15,119 --> 00:01:20,720
straight in line, it's a little bit more ergonomic. Next, we come to the Cone

20
00:01:18,479 --> 00:01:23,520
XTD, which is an optical mouse. And if you're wondering about optical versus

21
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:28,320
laser, you can check out our techquicky video on that subject, and that should explain what's actually going on. Um,

22
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:32,960
but it's quite interesting because it has something pretty unique. You can change the liftoff distance in the

23
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:36,640
software on your computer, which is pretty unique to this mouse. Another

24
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:40,320
nice thing that it has is in the bottom where your waiting system is, they

25
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:43,280
responded to some customer feedback about the waiting system rattling around

26
00:01:41,759 --> 00:01:46,159
and making some noise. So, they put a rubber pad in there to stop that, which

27
00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:50,479
is which is nice because the waiting system isn't moving and it's nice because it's not annoying you with the

28
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:54,799
audio. And finally, we come to the Cave XTD 5.1 analog. First look at this

29
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:58,560
headphone. You can see that it's quite deep in the cans and I noticed that it's

30
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:01,759
actually nice. There's a few headphones I think you've if you watch the W show,

31
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:04,159
you've heard me complain about my my ears will touch the inside and it

32
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,840
becomes quite uncomfortable with extended use and my ears do not touch

33
00:02:06,399 --> 00:02:11,840
the inside of these. These have quite a few unique features as well. As you

34
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:16,640
already heard, they're 5.1 and they have actually angled drivers on the inside. A

35
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:20,400
lot of 5.1 headphones, it's just a flat surface where all the drivers are and

36
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:24,160
this is a much different way of doing that. I'm excited to try it out in a

37
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:27,760
more extended use environment to see exactly how I feel about it. But it is

38
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:31,120
very cool to see them innovating in that way. Another cool thing they have with

39
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:34,160
these headphones, if I can plug this guy or pick this guy up right here, is they

40
00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:38,720
have movie and game settings. Traditionally, when you see this, you automatically assume equalizer, and

41
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:42,080
you're pretty much always right. But not in this case. What it's actually doing

42
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:48,239
is it's changing where the vocal channels coming through. So, if you go to movie, it'll move it to the front and

43
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:52,080
rear speakers instead of just the center speaker. And if you go to game, it sits

44
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,879
on uh where it is trying to naturally come from. That way, it's not screwing

45
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:59,440
with you if you're in a game and putting voices where they're not supposed to be. But then, if you're in a movie, you can

46
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:03,120
more easily hear the vocal channels. I'd like to thank our sponsors, NCX, WD, and

47
00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:06,159
Corsair for sending us here in the first place. And as always, if you want to see
