Gadgetory

hey guys welcome back to harbor on box today we have another episode of unboxing boxes looks like we've got a couple of packages here five in total so let's get into it actually before I do start unpackaging things i promised you guys an office or a setup update this episode but I because I've got a bit to do here I'll do that in a separate video tomorrow so yeah stay tuned for that should be pretty interesting but anyway let's get to it will start with this big one on top here all right basically wrapped in a black garbage bag I'm going to be careful okay we have a jacket a gigabyte branded jacket looks like it's about the right size as well looks like should be pretty good quality I'll give it a go thankfully it's not too hot today there's my gigabyte jacket well I'll leave that on for now let's see what else oh oh I can't actually show this product unfortunately I have to blur it out so sorry about that guys but a damn that's going to be cool I don't know why I'm holding the box up still because it's just gonna be a blurry mess on the screen so yeah sorry about that been awkward anyway maybe this one I can show you all right I'll see what we got in here well I've got a jacket now you know when i'm washing this one I have a backup so that's handy I think one of them's probably meant format okay I can show you this product so that's cool and it happens to be a very cool price as well it is gigabytes x99 a Phoenix SLI board what a beast awesome i'm probably not going to do a review on this but it will definitely being used in an upcoming build which I'll use with a broad well a processor it's not to be cool but we'll take the fall out and have a quick look at it full very nice indeed for those of you wondering this boards worth 330 us or 470 Ozzy so it's definitely I mean that's not extreme for an exciting i'm bored especially one of this caliber but it's definitely up there it's pricey suppose if you're buying one of those broadway lee cpus you're not too worried about dropping 470 Ozzy on them on your motherboard all right let's take a look at this thing so basically it has a lot of fancy lighting because you know it's a gaming motherboard and if it's a gaming product it's got RGB lighting these days well the dimm slots look like that look pretty cool that out that is one awesome looking bored pretty interesting color scheme but if you're doing like a custom loop system with orange liquid or white liquid that I look pretty sweet we are very very nice board it's not a brand new product so i won't go to too in depth with that it's been around for a little while now but i will be using it for a build plenty of storage connectivity very cool alright well I'll sit that here for now I think these two packages which are from China have cheap mouse pads in them which I purchased because a few guys were asking you know because they like the few you guys have seen the big that Matt and I usually meet a long ones and stuff like that where you can put your keyboard and all that I really really like those but they are quite expensive and a few you guys were asking about the cheaper alternatives on Amazon and eBay and that if they're any good and I mean with as with everything you sort of get what you pay for but you can get pretty big pads for well under twenty dollars off ebay and amazon and that so i wanted to buy them and see what the quality will like and you know if I think they would last at least a year rather than spending you know fifty sixty dollars for one might only last a couple years it might actually be more economical to do it that way so I'll um I'll get this one out so I believe this is the 60 x 30 centimeter one or 600 ml x 300 mil so this was worth yeah so this this must be that one so it's sort of for a small keyboard get your mouse on there as well this was seven dollars fifty delivered that's Ozzie's so 750 Ozzy delivered looks like it's a couple of MIL think it's got a got a sewn edge so it shouldn't Fraijo easily nice rubber back some have a look at the mouse now seems to work on it quite nicely so if you had a little ten keyless board that like it's probably good for a mobile setup you can get them bigger obviously which we're about to look at but for um for seven dollars fifty it seems pretty good really so I'll probably put that with a system that I've got laying around use it a bit and see a durable it is and if it lasts a reasonable amount of time anyway for seven dollars fifty seems pretty good anyway I'll um Chuck that over there we'll have a look at this one and this is meant to be an extra large I think its nine hundred mil by 400 ml at three mil thick and this only costs $14 Ozzy delivered twice the price of the other one but a lot bigger and this is actually from Tom top but there are that right or Tom net so not sure if anyway it was off ebay feel like I said fourteen dollars with free shipping and it looks very similar design to the other one or at least quality wise yeah it's definitely a lot bigger fortunately it's got a few creases in it from shipping but they should wear out yeah once the creatures come out of it it could be quite nice but yea big a very big pad you get a full-size keyboard plenty of room for your mouse yeah so I mean for fourteen fourteen dollars with shipping seems pretty good i've got similar pad size wise to this that were about forty or fifty dollars i mean they feel like they're a little bit thicker than more expensive ones the stitching on the edgings definitely a little bit better there's a few inconsistencies in the stitching but i mean you get what you pay for and it seems like it will stand the test of time or at least some time but again i'll check that on i'll probably replace my mouse pad with this one and see how it goes and i'll let you guys know in a future episode how it's holding up but I mean yeah I nishal impressions it seems pretty exceptional for the money so yeah we'll get to the the last package you we've got cut a bit short because one of the very cool packages I can't show you the product which sucks I know but anyway that's just how things are sometimes so this looks suspiciously like a keyboard and as you guys know we like to feature one of them on just about every single episode of unboxing box is just the light seems to be anyway we'll get into it yes it's a keyboard put you out of our misery on you that was suspenseful the new rockets or our FX keyboard with blue mechanical keyboards this one's level sound cool so this is a newly released keyboard from rocket it's I think it's available later this month probably in a week or so I think on the 11th and it will cost it is a little pricey but it is a full RGB keyboard the build quality everything's very good 140 us which I think you'd expect to pay the pricing isn't set in Australia yet but I think it'll be about 190 and if memory serves me correctly I think the base model without the RGB lighting is currently about 150 something Ozzy so bit of a premium for the RGB lighting i'm not sure if there's anything else that's been changed but yeah we'll take a look at it for those of you who missed it Matt reviewed the original swara keyboard back in June he really liked it he noted again back then that the only downside of this keyboard is it's a little pricey for what you get but overall excellent build quality great design and you know nice features so he was happy with it so I imagine this will be much the same deal oops I just pulled just pulled all the keys off just yet I was wack those keys back on the UM LED lighting is interesting behind the keys have to show you that it is above the key or the above the switch rather so a few things to note about the switches is it's becoming more common for manufacturers not to use the Cherry MX switches especially in the low end products basically because the MX's are becoming pretty hard to get due to demand and they are expensive so this is using TTC brown or blue switches which is the same as the original the original is also using those switches and the brown models for example basically they're designed to replicate what the MX Browns do and same for the Blues so with the Blues you'll get that same tactile feedback and they are rated for a lifespan of 50 million actuation so that's pretty good well there's not much else to show you other than probably the RGB lighting effects i think i'll probably do it with b roll cuz showing you from here you're not really going to get a good idea of how it lights up and stuff i think the reason why Matt focused on the build quality and stuff because it is a nice compact little keyboard they advertise it as a frameless keyboard you know seems very durable very well put together but it is a little light on features you get no USB pass-through for example obviously no wrist rest it is designed to be a compact keyboard and it's not it's not too bad without a wrist rest because it is quite low at the front but I'd still prefer to be slightly elevated but yeah it's it's all around pretty basic for what you're you're paying there's a cable route channel at the back but yeah for a lot more information on it it's worth checking out Matt's original review which was yeah like I said I think was posted back in June or something like that so I'm not sure how well you can see the LED lighting but um it's very very bright really a popper row of key caps off they will come so you can see the LEDs position just above the switch but even even for the keys that have something sort of lower down they do get lit not as well as higher up but so it's not as evenly spread as a switch with the light in the middle but still looks quite well and I put these back on so that's pretty well concludes this episode it was a little shorter than I was intending because I couldn't look at one of the products I didn't actually realize that this was a board that was under NDA I thought was something else but anyway at least we've got to look at the Phoenix SLI board that's very very cool board and you'll see a lot more of that in an upcoming build series i'm excited to do that you've got to check out the new swara FX keyboard which overall very cool keyboard a little pricey but if you can get the on sale or something I think that's a very very good buy for a game are looking for a mechanical keyboard with RGB lighting and we've got a quick look at these cheap mouse pads which other than the fact that they're cheap mousepads isn't much else to say right now I'll set them up probably check the small one of my test rig and I'll put this one on my main rig and I'll see how they go and let you guys know but value for money they seem pretty hard to beat unless they fall apart within the first few months so if that is the case hole that you know but I don't think it will be they look like though they should last at least a year I want a thought of fairly heavy use and that's that's it so I hope you guys enjoyed this episode it's been a bit briefer than my previous episodes but as a bit of a bonus you will be getting a look at my office in tomorrow's video I'm not sure how much i'll include in that video but you'll definitely get a look at the mess that I was coming from and hopefully a bit of a start of what i've been doing I'm pretty well into the project now and it's going well i'm pretty happy with it so i should be able to wrap that series up in probably two weeks time anyway that's all from me for today I'm your host Steve and I'll see you guys tomorrow bye you
