Linus Tech Tips coverage of Computex 2013 is powered by Western Digital. Our

trusted gaming gear partner is Corsair Vengeance and our trusted retail partner

is NCIX.com. Hey guys, B-roll and I were wandering
0:12
around Computex and we came by Rogue as you can see. And I noticed immediately
0:17
their Mech Fu. This thing is awesome. I know we have a few Hawin and Mech
0:22
Warrior fans in the audience because of all the NVIDIA giveaways that they've
0:26
been doing with Hawin and just the pure amount of comments we get about
0:29
Mecharrior. I don't even know what to say about this other than just biting
0:34
for time while B-roll gets awesome footage. This thing is awesome. You have
0:38
a the main usable area of your keyboard here. Shift will make it so you can use
0:42
the uh number keys along along the top. You've got communication buttons here
0:47
for team chat or taunting people, which is hilarious. You have a dedicated
0:50
button just to use a taunt in a game. You can go from auto to shift here. Two
0:55
awesome joysticks with like all the hardcore buttons you could ever want.
0:59
Different thruster levels, everything. Oh, the Hawham nerd hawin nerd in me
1:04
wants this so bad. It would be absolutely awesome. I can tell due to
1:08
how a lot of these buttons are made, if it was plugged in through USB that there
1:11
would be back lights on them, but there is currently not. This is actually just
1:14
a sample. Just the the missile switches
1:18
and stuff that are on this are awesome. You can hear Here, one
1:22
second. You can hear that it has a very tactile click. That's awesome. It feels
1:26
very real. Not maybe not exactly real because I've never actually used a like
1:30
fighter pilot's control panel, but it feels real to me. Big big handlebars to
1:35
pick it up. I'm not going to do that because again, it's a sample, so I don't want to ruin it. LCD screen up here. I'm
1:39
not entirely sure what it displays up there, but I'm assuming it will be similar stuff to G15 keyboards from
1:44
Logitech where it can display like your ammo and other things that you have
1:47
right there. Controlling a mech with this would just be so awesome. Having
1:52
both joysticks ready to go. They're very nice looking joysticks. I again, I'm
1:56
just biting for time so B-roll can get awesome, awesome footage of this because
2:00
this thing is so cool. I'm very happy I came by Rogue to check it out. Just h
2:05
the amount of options you can have and I love how they have all different things.
2:09
It's not just a million buttons. There's actually gradient switches. There's
2:12
flipping switches over here. The dials that you can change, big big chunky
2:17
buttons that look real that you can press. So, if you want to bring up your console, it's one big button that you
2:21
can slam down. Or team chat communications. You can hold it down. It
2:25
just seems very real. Even though it is plastic and it is going in through USB,
2:29
it seems like you're in a fighter jet or a mech warrior, which is awesome. If you
