as well as hyperx all right guys welcome to the Cherry Booth where we will be
0:12
checking out the Cherry MX board 6.0 the juicy details on this board are mainly
0:17
in its RK or real key technology the
0:20
idea behind this technology is replacing the traditional digital scanning Tech
0:24
inside of a keyboard with an actually even older analog Tech in the form of
0:29
something similar to an oscilloscope Cherry tells me that this technology
0:32
will take one sample in 0.4 milliseconds then take another sample in another 0.4
0:37
milliseconds all while running calculations on what keys are currently
0:41
doing something in order to report out a key press in 0.8 milliseconds but the
0:46
USB 2.0 standard bumps it up to a total time of 1 millisecond Cherry also claims
0:52
that today's keyboards have an average reaction time of about 20 milliseconds
0:56
with some boards going as high as 45 plus milliseconds so it's crazy freaking
1:01
fast but what about the rest of the keyboard well it will come with either
1:05
Cherry MX Blue red brown or black switches although they're not all
1:09
available right now and it will have a magnetically attaching wrist rest which
1:12
features real rubber not synthetic and aluminum upper body which will be coated
1:17
in order to protect it from the oils in your skin which could cause it to wear
1:20
away and look ugly over time it has a nicely braided USB cable as well with uh
1:25
100 different brightness levels for the backl key caps I would love to test a a
1:30
bunch of keyboards reporting speeds on my own using something like a beagle USB
1:34
2.0 analyzer but this would be a lot of
1:37
research and a lot of work so let me know what you think in the comments down
1:40
