WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.120 Linus Tech Tips coverage of CES 2014 is brought to you by NCIX.com, your source 00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:11.120 for great technology, selection, and service along with Corsair Memory and 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 00:00:14.559 --> 00:00:21.439 Pro or 10 keyless Pro. And right away, you can notice it has a fixed wrist 00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:25.119 rest, a really big fixed wrist rest. You don't see that very often, especially in 00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:28.880 that large form format. I like this a lot because you can see it actually is 00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:32.640 able to work for my hand. my hand actually positions properly on WD with 00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:36.880 my hand still on the wrist rest which is not super common. I have to use 00:00:34.239 --> 00:00:39.600 detachable ones usually um but not the detachable one that comes with the 00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:42.559 keyboard so I can leave it on my desk shifted down away from the keyboard so 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 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 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 00:00:54.239 --> 00:01:00.079 they have this tiny little miniature desk that can't fit it. So they're 00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:04.879 they're not super worried about saving space in this way. It's just there so 00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:08.880 that they can save space so that your your shoulder width is more natural 00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:11.840 because a lot of people find with really wide keyboards with macro keys on it and 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 00:01:15.119 --> 00:01:20.720 straight in line, it's a little bit more ergonomic. Next, we come to the Cone 00:01:18.479 --> 00:01:23.520 XTD, which is an optical mouse. And if you're wondering about optical versus 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, 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 00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:36.640 software on your computer, which is pretty unique to this mouse. Another 00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:40.320 nice thing that it has is in the bottom where your waiting system is, they 00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:43.280 responded to some customer feedback about the waiting system rattling around 00:01:41.759 --> 00:01:46.159 and making some noise. So, they put a rubber pad in there to stop that, which 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 00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:54.799 audio. And finally, we come to the Cave XTD 5.1 analog. First look at this 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 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, 00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:04.159 you've heard me complain about my my ears will touch the inside and it 00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:07.840 becomes quite uncomfortable with extended use and my ears do not touch 00:02:06.399 --> 00:02:11.840 the inside of these. These have quite a few unique features as well. As you 00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:16.640 already heard, they're 5.1 and they have actually angled drivers on the inside. A 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 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 00:02:22.480 --> 00:02:27.760 more extended use environment to see exactly how I feel about it. But it is 00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:31.120 very cool to see them innovating in that way. Another cool thing they have with 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 00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:38.720 have movie and game settings. Traditionally, when you see this, you automatically assume equalizer, and 00:02:37.040 --> 00:02:42.080 you're pretty much always right. But not in this case. What it's actually doing 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 00:02:46.160 --> 00:02:52.080 rear speakers instead of just the center speaker. And if you go to game, it sits 00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:54.879 on uh where it is trying to naturally come from. That way, it's not screwing 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 00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:03.120 more easily hear the vocal channels. I'd like to thank our sponsors, NCX, WD, and 00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:06.159 Corsair for sending us here in the first place.
