Yeah, Keyboard review now, but hear me out.

I know a lot of you guys are like keyboards are so boring.

But when master up reached out and said, Hey, we want to sponsor a video with the new control keyboard we currently have a drop on.

I was like, I don't really do keep order views.

They talked me into it.

I'm glad I did.

Because trust me when I say this keyboard, this is premium, and this is what you're gonna want to definitely take a look at, especially if you're any sort of a keyboard or typing elitist.

Don't let the basic packaging fool you.

This is a very premium product available at master up.

So if we open it up right here, we'll do a quick on.

Boxing gives us, um, warranty information, but also all of your function keys on a quick reference card.

You can leave this in your drawer wherever you would put an information piece of information like this.

But it gives you quick access.

Understand what the function keys are on the keyboard because this is an RGB programmable keyboard that you control on the keyboard itself.

You don't need me.

Stand alone software to make all the lighting do pretty cool.

Argue be lighting stuff.

Obviously we have our keyboard will look at this in a second, get a USB type C cable.

We have this very premium aluminum or aluminium, depending where you are Key cat puller.

You also get a switch puller because the switches on here are hot swappable.

They are very quick to remove in case you need to replace a switch quick and easy.

They're not sauntered in there.

Simply a pot swab type, which is nice.

And then you've got a couple of rubber feet right here for your keyboard, which are magnetic.

So this is everything you get in the box and take a look at the keyboard itself.

Very minimalistic.

Different shades of gray.

50 of them, probably so.

As you can see, it's a very minimalistic design.

We have a textured silver aluminum chassis on here.

It's a it's a full aluminum built.

It's very hefty.

It means it's not gonna flex its not gonna want my thumb is really jacked up.

I want to flex this, but I can't.

I guess it's a good point, right?

Look at all the rubber feet on the bottom right here.

This is not going to slide all around this.

This is gonna hold true wherever you sit.

So it's it's not gonna slide as you can see, but if you want to raise it up a little bit, that is where these aluminum feet come in handy.

Bam fam.

And now you've got a little bit more of an angle for your type.

These are kale silver switches, which I mentioned so they're very similar to like a cherry red.

Their linear press.

No tactile bump, no tactile click.

Pretty nice sound to them.

No, Huh?

If you were in office, get that nice mechanical feel.

But it's not cliquey.

Little bit of slack in there when the key press bottoms out, but not too bad.

The wait outside The guest is probably right around 50 grand.

It feels a lot like a 50 grand.

Doesn't feel too heavy depressed.

So it's going Talk about the switch is real quick, cause as I mentioned, these are hot swappable, so If you want to pull out one of the middle keys like that, you got a neighboring key.

You could use the key kept fuller muse escape because it's easy to access.

But you take your little switch cooler right here.

You find where the two grooves are, and then you can.

Actually, as I mentioned, the key caps are cherry MX style.

So if you had a favorite set of key caps, you could use them.

Master up also does key caps and stuff from time to time.

So we're keeping an eye out.

So you take a little Grasberg, we'll call the grass for you, find two grooves is very hard left hand because I'm a right handed individual, and then that just pulls right out.

So, as you can see, these are just two contacts that press into place.

It only goes one way.

So if you had a key switch, die on you or if you wanted to replace your switch for whatever reason, you could actually do that without having to sought or disorder anything, making it very easy.

You can also see right there inside the switch the led itself, because this is an RGB keyboard.

As I mentioned, so to reinstall, it's pretty simple.

You just line this up with the two pins on the bottom.

Do you have your center shaft?

Ladies, push that down key cap back on and you just replace the switch.

Not talk about connectivity, because that's a huge feature on this keyboard.

You can see you have two USB type sees on either side of the keyboard.

That's obviously because if you have a system on the right or on the left, you could choose which side it's on to make a more streamlined cable management path.

Your USB type C chord is about a meter long, and, as you can see, it terminates to a USB 3.0.

But if we plug this in right here, you can see that that frees up the other side of the keyboard.

Now, to be a free pastors, you can use this to charge a USB type C device.

You took this guy.

Plug this in right here, so this is actually a hub that we use from time to time.

It's got to USB three point owes its got an Ethernet as well as an HD am I.

So we got this to actually be sort of a one piece of device that we could use the hot swap Ah, whole system onto like, a laptop and be able to move it around so you could plug this in to your laptop and then this would become kind of your entire pastor.

So the keyboard itself sort of becomes your doc, which is perfect for whether or not you're in on the go.

Working off of a laptop is one.

Unplug one cable from your laptop and go which, like I said, if you live the apple dongle life, you're very used to that.

So this device definitely works for both of those scenarios.

Let's go and talk about the lighting and the actual typing experience on this because at the end of the day, that's what matters most when it comes to a keyboard.

That's what it looks like when you first turn it on.

Obviously, it's an A an RGB rainbow demo mode.

We're using the card right here.

We can actually control this, so let's go and change the pattern here.

So if you push function and d I go to the next pattern so it looks like it.

Just a rainbow static.

Oh, that white are the pink and blue.

My look white on camera.

It's actually more like a peachy pink color.

Trust me.

Yellow, red, green, blue The white looks sick.

Wow.

Okay, I like the white a lot.

You got a little bit of a red pattern going across there.

There's the pattern with no other back light on off and then back to that mode.

Now we can also change.

The brightness with W and s is pretty easy.

Remember function D and A for right and left on the different modes and then function.

W and s is for brightness up and down.

So you see, we can control the brightness.

So you have a scrolling pattern like this, you can actually increase and decrease the scrolling with Q and ease.

We could speed it up.

How fast is a go?

That's all of it.

Like Knight Rider right there.

Dude did it.

Did it?

Did it?

D'oh d'oh!

So the caps lock.

You can actually change the direction as well, So function caps lock.

It now goes the other way.

But I was a huge fan of just the solid white because that looks just so clean with all the gray and stuff right there.

Yeah.

So the same thing happens with media key, so function page up Is volume up?

Page down?

Is volume down?

Um, mute function mute is print.

People use the hot keeper print, but anyway, you get the idea.

You can go through the card to learn all of those other functions.

You can also download software to do a more in depth programming of like, individual keys.

So that's the customer.

Customizable firmware.

You just go to the website, listen on the card to go and download that, and you get much more in depth on the keyboard itself.

But you know what that means.

Now it is time for a typing test because my thumb is completely out of commission and I'm not typing to Well, I'm gonna go ahead and have Phil do it.

So what you think?

All right, so let's have some final thoughts here because I'm not one of those people that is pretty much a keyboard snob.

I can type on just about anything, and I don't really think about keyboards unless they're annoying me.

if something's annoying me that I'm quick to get rid of it, move onto something else until it annoys me.

And then I get rid of it.

I didn't find very much about this keyboard that bothers me.

I mean, granted haven't got to spend a lot of time with it, but it seemed to be a pretty quick adaptation or adjustment to typing on this keyboard.

I've typed on kill switches before, so that wasn't really all that weird to me.

The silver switch, I think, has a nice weight to it.

It's about a 50 grand.

That's my guest.

By the way, the full product page will tell you with the weight of The key is, I'm sure, but I prefer a tactile bump, which is why I prefer cherry browns and most of my keyboards.

But this didn't really seem to have a problem.

There was no Miss Press like it.

It seemed to always register the touch.

It's not like I didn't push key down far enough.

It wasn't too heavy to push down.

The build quality is outstanding metal keyboards.

Those are just some of the best feeling keyboards.

They feel rigid, solid.

There's no creaking, No flexing to them.

The lighting in this being in built into the edge of the keyboard The edge lighting just looks fantastic.

But not everything about this for me is perfect.

Let me tell you what I mean by that.

I tend to be kind of picky when it comes to my keyboards.

What I mean by that is most of the time I lead them flat.

But every now and then, depending on my sitting position, I might want to make it raised her upright.

So just lifting it up, flipping out of some feet putting it down is quick and easy.

Having to dig these out of a drawer wherever they may be stashed in the box or in the closet forever would be kind of an annoyance to go.

OK, I want to set this up to get him out.

Go on there, Lifted up.

Line it up, Stick it on there and there we go.

So having some sort of a cubby or recessed storage location on the keyboard itself would have been nice.

There's plenty of room on the back where they could have maybe made a magnetic post there to just stick them on.

So then you wouldn't lose them there with the keyboard not being used.

But my other gripe with the feet is I push my keyboard around all over my desk, my sitting positions always changing.

Sometimes I'm leaning back in my chair, so I slide it forward.

Sometimes I slide it off to the side because I'm sitting sideways.

And the problem is, as soon as you slide these, they just roll right off because the feet are so grippy.

And so what happens is they just roll over on their side and pop right off the magnet cubby.

There recessed holes that are holding on to them, and that's gonna lead to scratches all over the bottom of the keyboard or just constantly being annoying.

So having a way to maybe permanently mount this with a screw or something that went right through the middle would have been a nice added touch.

And the last thing I kind of want to gripe about is theatrical rgb itself, not the functionality of RGB, which allowed people look as a gimmick but because there's no volatile ram on this, which means as soon as it loses connective ity or power than it resets, rather whatever the default is.

So let's just say right now we unplug this from our desktop or plug it in and tow our keyboard.

We're going to school or trip or whatever.

When you plug it back in, you could see it goes right back to the RGB demo mode.

Now, if you're leaving this plugged in on a desktop, you're not unplugging it.

Then that's not gonna be a problem, because the cable does receive power even when the system is in standby or shut down.

It's a soon as it's completely detached that it resets like this.

So if you're gonna be traveling around with it and putting it on laptops and moving it around, this is something that you would have to deal with.

So it's worth mentioning.

But again, kind of a minor gripe, depending on how you look at it, because I can go right back to the motel is in just a matter of seconds with function key.

So there is that.

So anyway, we're gonna go, guys, Thanks for watching.

If you wanna know more about this keyboard, look a description below you will find a link to master up.
