Okay. 00:04:38.344 --> 00:04:40.507 The RGB on this, I think, looks incredible. 00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:44.062 You can actually see it much better on this keyboard. 00:04:44.617 --> 00:04:47.654 The screen as well, it's pretty awesome. 00:04:48.888 --> 00:04:51.018 So we also have the... 00:04:52.392 --> 00:04:55.762 2.-- Is it 2.4 gigahertz transmitter here as well? 00:04:55.762 --> 00:04:56.763 If I can get it out there. 00:04:56.763 --> 00:04:57.630 There we go. 00:04:57.630 --> 00:04:59.466 It is 2.4, right? Yeah. 00:04:59.866 --> 00:05:02.101 2.4 gigahertz transmitter as well here. 00:05:02.735 --> 00:05:05.038 It's actually nice that we have it here, 00:05:05.038 --> 00:05:06.205 so that you don't lose it. 00:05:06.205 --> 00:05:07.167 Because the amount of times 00:05:07.167 --> 00:05:09.609 I've lost dongles and transmitters and stuff, 00:05:09.609 --> 00:05:11.454 because it's like in the box or something, 00:05:11.454 --> 00:05:14.180 it's not actually attached to the keyboard in some way. 00:05:14.180 --> 00:05:15.481 It's just quite annoying. 00:05:15.481 --> 00:05:16.683 So with the RT80, 00:05:16.683 --> 00:05:18.651 we have a 75% layout, 00:05:18.651 --> 00:05:20.687 which is definitely my preferred layout. 00:05:20.687 --> 00:05:22.758 I like having the functional row of keys. 00:05:22.758 --> 00:05:24.891 65% layout, I know for some people, 00:05:24.891 --> 00:05:26.292 it's great, it's amazing, 00:05:26.292 --> 00:05:29.128 but I always miss the functional row of keys. 00:05:29.128 --> 00:05:32.165 I just like having the dedicated row of function keys, 00:05:32.165 --> 00:05:34.300 for my typing experience, 00:05:34.300 --> 00:05:37.170 my typing preference it just makes more sense for me. 00:05:37.170 --> 00:05:40.206 This also has a 5000 mAh battery. 00:05:40.206 --> 00:05:41.541 So much bigger battery, 00:05:41.541 --> 00:05:44.644 and so it should last for quite a bit longer too. 00:05:44.644 --> 00:05:46.713 On the bottom, there are different levels 00:05:46.713 --> 00:05:48.448 that you can stand it up at, 00:05:48.448 --> 00:05:51.341 which is nice because I know for some people 00:05:51.451 --> 00:05:53.753 that can be a big thing, like having 00:05:54.921 --> 00:05:57.023 the ability to angle the keyboard up 00:05:57.023 --> 00:05:58.157 can make a big difference. 00:05:58.157 --> 00:06:00.093 Okay, so I've connected the keyboard 00:06:00.093 --> 00:06:01.928 to my Mac via USB-C, 00:06:01.928 --> 00:06:02.862 and we can see the screen. 00:06:02.862 --> 00:06:04.664 This is in sort of its default state, 00:06:04.664 --> 00:06:06.099 but we can swipe on it 00:06:06.099 --> 00:06:07.867 and we can get some functions 00:06:07.867 --> 00:06:09.469 to control our Mac. 00:06:09.469 --> 00:06:11.270 And obviously, you have four functions here, 00:06:11.270 --> 00:06:13.686 four, basically, touch screen panels. 00:06:14.107 --> 00:06:16.416 And yeah, you can change what you have on them as well. 00:06:16.976 --> 00:06:19.712 It's customisable, obviously, these are just the default options. 00:06:19.712 --> 00:06:20.546 But that's pretty awesome, 00:06:20.546 --> 00:06:22.715 because you could basically put-- 00:06:22.715 --> 00:06:24.893 I think pretty much whatever you like in here. 00:06:25.008 --> 00:06:27.558 [keyboard clicking] 00:06:30.690 --> 00:06:33.059 What blows my mind about both of these keyboards 00:06:33.059 --> 00:06:34.131 is the price. 00:06:34.494 --> 00:06:36.562 They're less than $100 each of them. 00:06:36.562 --> 00:06:39.665 I think, this one, last time I looked was less than $70, 00:06:39.665 --> 00:06:41.134 which is just crazy good value 00:06:41.134 --> 00:06:42.268 for a keyboard like this 00:06:42.268 --> 00:06:43.636 with all of this functionality. 00:06:43.636 --> 00:06:45.905 So I also have an Apple Magic Keyboard here 00:06:45.905 --> 00:06:46.939 and you can see the difference. 00:06:46.939 --> 00:06:48.134 There's a massive difference here. 00:06:48.134 --> 00:06:49.809 Here you have a mechanical keyboard 00:06:49.809 --> 00:06:51.944 and here you have a sort of chiclet style keyboard. 00:06:51.944 --> 00:06:53.079 We can see the Magic Keyboard 00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:54.347 is thin and smaller, 00:06:54.347 --> 00:06:55.948 but if you prefer 00:06:55.948 --> 00:06:57.717 the mechanical typing experience, 00:06:57.717 --> 00:06:58.951 of course you need something bigger. 00:06:58.951 --> 00:06:59.852 You need something thicker 00:06:59.852 --> 00:07:01.020 for the key travel 00:07:01.020 --> 00:07:03.122 and the keys, the keyboard itself, 00:07:03.122 --> 00:07:04.357 will just naturally be bigger. 00:07:04.357 --> 00:07:05.958 So I've now connected this keyboard 00:07:05.958 --> 00:07:08.873 via USB to my Mac because I wanted to see 00:07:08.873 --> 00:07:10.563 what the joystick does by default. 00:07:10.563 --> 00:07:11.731 And the joystick by default, 00:07:11.731 --> 00:07:14.333 actually, does the music controls. 00:07:14.333 --> 00:07:15.468 So you can change tracks 00:07:15.468 --> 00:07:16.569 by going up and down 00:07:16.569 --> 00:07:18.771 and then you can click it to mute, 00:07:18.771 --> 00:07:21.774 and then you can also go left and right to adjust the volume. 00:07:21.774 --> 00:07:23.009 So this is quite funny. 00:07:23.009 --> 00:07:25.041 I'm hoping you guys can see this. 00:07:25.041 --> 00:07:26.813 With the software, 00:07:26.813 --> 00:07:29.015 I was able to upload a picture 00:07:29.015 --> 00:07:30.762 to the screen on the keyboard. 00:07:32.051 --> 00:07:33.940 So you can have anything you want here. 00:07:33.940 --> 00:07:35.822 Maybe you have a picture of your cat 00:07:35.822 --> 00:07:37.623 or your dog or a loved one or whatever, 00:07:37.623 --> 00:07:39.091 you can have it on the screen, 00:07:39.091 --> 00:07:40.526 which is pretty funny. 00:07:40.526 --> 00:07:42.915 You can even upload your own sketches and stuff. 00:07:42.915 --> 00:07:45.331 So I just randomly just drew a line, 00:07:45.331 --> 00:07:46.933 and yeah, you can upload it. 00:07:46.933 --> 00:07:50.937 So you can really sort of put whatever you want on the little screen 00:07:51.304 --> 00:07:52.939 that's attached to the keyboard. 00:07:52.939 --> 00:07:55.649 Let's get into one of the keys. 00:07:56.409 --> 00:07:57.159 Like so. 00:07:57.159 --> 00:08:00.892 We should be able to remove... 00:08:03.082 --> 00:08:04.383 Yeah, nice and easy. 00:08:04.383 --> 00:08:06.586 The switch comes out super easy, 00:08:06.586 --> 00:08:07.820 super clean, 00:08:08.502 --> 00:08:10.556 so you can change the switches out 00:08:10.556 --> 00:08:11.724 if you want to. 00:08:11.724 --> 00:08:13.793 You can have whatever switches you like in this. 00:08:13.793 --> 00:08:16.113 And of course, you can change the keycaps as well. 00:08:16.496 --> 00:08:17.563 So that's pretty nice to see, 00:08:17.563 --> 00:08:20.012 a lot of customisation options there. 00:08:20.066 --> 00:08:21.000 If you guys are interested 00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:22.101 in either of these keyboards, 00:08:22.101 --> 00:08:24.437 I will leave a link to them down in description below. 00:08:24.437 --> 00:08:25.538 Hopefully, you guys enjoyed it. 00:08:25.538 --> 00:08:27.073 Follow me on Instagram
