0:16
to learn more all right are you ready for this I'm I'm I'm good to go I'm
0:20
ready it's a good thing you didn't show me this during your job interview this
0:24
uning is of the ducky DK 9008 G2 this
0:28
particular model has ABS caps and Cherry MX Blue switches thanks for the specs
0:33
man spec on the back of the box no well no you had you're going to follow it up
0:38
USB is very cool that Focus what is this shot on so it's one of those Flip HD
0:44
like allinone vertical cameras are you sure it's a Flip HD maybe not HD it's a
0:49
flip I remember it was a Flip Flip just the D this helps in games where this helps
0:55
in games where you use your face press whatever you want all
1:00
functions will go through through for very very high APM games like Le League
1:06
of Legends or you definitely need ino for legal yes so much just talking about
1:12
the lights on the num lock and the caps lock keys they very bright and easy to
1:16
see so interesting they're bright and easy to
1:19
see slim look at your hair I
1:23
know some things never change dude I don't want this to come across the wrong
1:27
way but who shot this could they not could they not tell it wasn't focused
1:31
was my mom I don't even know if those had screens on the back so maybe
1:36
not they might have I don't remember very nice carry how many times are you
1:40
going to say this particular keyboard next one layer PCB that's just meaning a
1:45
higher quality I can see that so well I
1:49
feel like I'm enjoying the box right there like and the icon makes no sense
1:55
you can lock out your Windows keys so you don't accidentally press a Windows
1:58
key during a video game or a video game
2:02
look at that hair how many cck is
2:05
that and then we'll go with the unboxing
2:10
just you know what's scary about this is
2:14
I see hints of my own unboxing style in
2:17
it like talking to the camera person being like so come on over here notice
2:22
open it up is the very nice carrying case that ducky gives you with the
2:26
keyboard the first thing I noticed is that dead ass red pixel in the middle
2:29
that's what I notic this is just a cover it's not
2:33
actually a glossy finish
2:39
particular why would I think that's what it is especially when I take the whole
2:44
thing off like this is my magic glossy paint
2:49
removal tra hey I've seen this keyboard here
2:54
there's little LED few times which one is this so this is all of them
2:58
essentially this is the one that was in the mineral oil video this is the one that I repaired um this is the one with
3:03
all the signatures on the back y y so it's bare right now but all the
3:07
signatures come in later okay I do like the ducky style feet though let's talk
3:11
seriously for a minute but they break well they all one of them Point rubber
3:16
Grabber all around under the red part in the Box oh oh wow just just in case you
3:20
didn't notice they were under the red they were under the well I'm glad you covered that for me verbally CU C isn't
3:25
SLE it is a nice um goldplated USB cable
3:29
the plating doesn't actually help transfer speed at all all the gold
3:32
plating is for is a stable connection actually gold plates rub against each
3:36
other and make a better
3:40
connection I'm sorry so I
3:44
mean the gold on the outside of the connector there's there's no data you
3:49
know this you know this now which is why you're laughing at you now I had looked
3:55
this up at the time and found some article that was like it's better for a
3:58
more stable connection and then I said it and when I watched this back like a
4:02
couple days ago it's was just like no no
4:06
why I mean at least you can take solace
4:09
in that this was never published on the internet yeah until now until now pull
4:14
the KE for you are you going to tell me what color these are this particular
4:17
color key particular you have your W and D Keys oh the W and D don't call it
4:25
WD and not that you can read them and
4:28
Flash looks nice and flashy you say yeah
4:31
these keys are just the the ducky branding Keys these can be replaced with
4:36
really any of the general form factor keys on the keyboard not true not true
4:42
no no if you folks out there at home believe that you better go watch his
4:46
ultimate keycap replacement guide yep y much better our most unexpected 1
4:51
million view video thanks to its somehow came from
4:56
this you can hear that audibly here
5:00
you got that right at least nothing really happens right away but once I get
5:03
deep enough hear that
5:07
click you you hear an audible feedback
5:10
when I'm deep enough I'm talking the innu if you just go down you can feel it
5:16
when I'm deep enough not much delay
5:19
before you can press that key again it's nice functionality good for typing good
5:23
for gaming good for what mechanical keyboard good for what what else is
5:26
there what do you do with the keyboard just get packag with a good computer or
5:30
whatever you go to buy what are you even talking about I don't know and that'll
5:35
be it thanks for checking out the
5:38
ducky forgot the name ABS caps version not the P okay I
5:44
got a pro tip for the amateur unboxers out there that pull that than this is
5:48
what I used to do I'd have the box ready already so I could read off it no that
5:53
makes sense Mak sense okay now it's not actually done it's not done there's more
5:57
this two yes cuz I I real real after I was done filming I was like I need to
6:01
say more stuff so just added another part two on it instead of refiling and
6:05
maybe doing my hair you do realize you're already did the
6:08
outro the although I can't really fault
6:12
you for this us to do that sometimes make
6:16
you smile how happy he is with himself
6:20
making a video on the internet you can see okay you can see the mineral
6:23
computer in the background for one that's the GL the blue GL you're like
6:26
still living at home here how old are you this I was
6:30
very sturdy keyboard it has some weight to it that keyboard has some weight to it
6:35
we're missing some gems here I mean you didn't cover the weight in part one I'm
6:40
glad you're covering that it has some weight to it you're still talking about
6:44
it it's very sturdy if you drop it or it
6:47
gets jostled around when going to a land or something like that it's going to be okay it's got some weight to it's not
6:52
just a fragile little piece of still going how many times are you going to
6:55
stay and has some weight to it a lot of people like it even with the numpad off
7:01
of the keyboard just for spacing and all that kind of stuff on their table I like
7:05
on my keybo backlights mainly backlit keys are
7:09
awesome although ducky is in production and R&D of a backlit ducky named the
7:14
ducky shine um there's no like four or five
7:19
the ducky shine this was Prett ducky shine this
7:24
was before you could buy these in America other than importers what I want
7:27
to know is why you didn't see RGB coming clicky
7:31
um I thought you were covering stuff you didn't already tell
7:35
us very responsive to your fingers you'll really feel this keyboard you can
7:39
hear it a lot you can hear it twice in fact you can have it explained to you
7:43
twice oh totally doesn't Cas you didn't get it the first time is loud um also
7:46
this particular model has abs caps PBT
7:50
caps are you also mentioned before like
7:54
right the beginning the first thing you said sand brushed although they are very
7:59
smooth they look like rough key cap what is sand last a lot longer is that comb
8:04
with a brick brick similar yeah and I
8:08
thought my abs caps would hold up very well because it's not like they're low
8:12
quality caps they're just PV caps are better like twoin explanation I don't
8:17
know I don't know I would have liked it to be backlit um but really those are
8:22
some pretty minor negatives other than that this keyboard's got all winners and
8:26
car over USB is pretty awesome some the weight of the keyboard's awesome oh the
8:31
the keyboard you can't forget the thank you for watching this unboxing and
