hmm really got a freshen up this deck moving boy going on brush step coming right up so this is an interesting approach for my onyx to freshen up the deck I like it let's check it out right after this the NZXT Hugh plots lighting control hub is now available in the white frame to complement the white NZXT monta gates or other white beam builds for best Hardware color coordination with enough extensions included and is used to control the for very bright RGB LED strips or the air RGB fans all through the hue plus hub check it out in the description below alright so this idea of introducing color through your peripherals to spice up your setup is not exactly new we've seen many gaming peripherals and standard keyboards and mice come with different color options but my onyx is approaching and from a different perspective that all revolves the one there one key launch product their new keyboard the way the price point is a little bit expensive at $159 there are many other minimalist options available in the market right now but they're targeting this for gamers and also artists so they're kind of moving themselves away from the whole game area peels so there's a zero gaming aesthetics on this keyboard it's very minimal I love the gray accent on the key caps on the body there's absolutely no bulk surrounding the frame so it is what it is they do not they would include secondary characters on your numbers row so you have to kind of remember where the dollar sign is where the plus sign equal sign all that stuff is but I do appreciate the built-in media controls right on the top right corner along with the LED control which is right beside their even their branding is limited so there's a single logo on the main front plate on the bottom right and there's also a logo surrounded by this yellow rubber on the left side the keyboard cannot be raised or angled so it is what it is there's this single large piece of rubber at the bottom so the keyboard has very good stability alongside that my onyx logo but I wish that we could have listed the keyboard slightly because it is pretty flat the keyboard feels solid there is an aluminum plate in the top so despite it being so thin there is almost no flex and finally the cable that is exiting the keyboard has this bit of coil not exactly sure why that is design-wise it looks kinda cool but functionally it doesn't really work because the coil is very tight so you have to stretch it you have to somewhat lock the cable somewhere in order to you know what the stretch otherwise it's kind of pointless now this is a mechanical keyboard and initially on their Amazon page it said that it was a cherry silence RGB red switch that can be misleading because it's not the silent switch it's an MX red switch so after that after my conversation they did clarify exactly what it is on the Amazon page so there is no longer confusion this is MX Reds and not the silent switch now the software is pretty basic so you can do color customization perky or selecting multiple by holding ctrl the effects are nice but quite limited not as many as we see on like gaming specific keyboards and Mac's the customization is available to note all the keys on the keyboard but majority of them which is fine so now let's talk about the accessory so the pads and the key caps so the cool thing about the key cap says they come in three different colors and they correspond to this sort of idea of you know the yellow being fries the pink one being the frosting for like donuts and then the blue one minty ice cream sort of so they're going for these theme that's related to food and then there's the gray one which is the shark fin which is not lit exactly sustainable not exactly politically correct for a company to do but shark fin soup that's where they're referring to is referred to as like the luxury meal or like the dish that they served in Asia for like weddings and stuff of that so they're targeting the Asian market alongside having this you know their traditional North American food items so that they could spend maybe a larger target audience so we have the pads which can be used as your wrist rest or can actually be used as a mousepad you know if you like or if you can use it in that format I mean it's very long doesn't have much wiggle room for the width so if you use a really high DPI Mouse perhaps you can use it but it's not exactly recommended it's mainly intended to be used for your wrist rest to be placed underneath the keyboard so the pad is very thick it's very flexible it's comfortable very nice detailed print on here feels kind of nice and silky smooth doesn't produce any harsh sounded from the week I've used it has produced a zero irritation on my skin the only thing though doesn't really smell that great they smell very rubbery like tires and I've had these for a week now and they still smell but I'm told the smell sort of gradually rolls away with use and let's hope that is the case price-wise they are $15 a piece which I would say it's okay they do provide a nice comfort and because the keyboard because how flat it is you probably want to position it further away from you so you have more forearm space on the desk and therefore this would complement the keyword very well I do like the little Easter eggs they planted on the graphics on the pads so on the blue one we have a shark fin that's been bitten on the black one and the yellow one we have a fry that's been dipped in ketchup although it does look pink so I'm not exactly sure what's happening there and on the pink one we have a bitten doughnut so now we'll talk about the key caps which are $35 percent with three colors available so if you were to go for the whole suite over the pad the key caps and the keyboard way you're looking at 210 US dollars which is a little steep but will give you that full unique cohesion between your peripherals I am a little bit disappointed with the key caps because the edges are not exactly refined you can find some rough plastic on some key caps there's also this weird black smudges and black particles that are been scattered underneath the key caps and I'm thinking that is because of the included key cap pull er that is inside the same bag and maybe during you know during motion it kind of chips away and like leaves residue all over it's just not something you want to find on the key cap because the color is vibrant so anything that is foreign in color really sticks out and it's just not pleasant they are MX stem compatible so you could potentially use them on a different keyboard of yours and they come in this full set as you can select from and also additional key caps are included in this set in case you're using a different layout keyboard for example there are different sized space bars different enter keys and different alts the extra controls and all the keys that are associated with those changes and I appreciate all the color diversity so you can customize different pads with different key caps and really make your setup unique now I wish there was a way from a Onyx to include smaller selection and smaller sets of the key caps so you can customize your keyboard in something like this you know having different colors for some of those accented key caps but having the base in that standard gray the one thing to keep in mind with the key caps is the transparency because the LED on the switch is at the top and therefore it does not create that uniform illumination on the key cap itself it looks fine in daylight when you don't see the illumination but during darker conditions is just not that pretty in terms of the color matching between the past and the key caps it's not 100% but it's pretty close and it keeps within that same color family so it's passable instead of the yellow toe I would have loved to see orange because orange with the teal blue and that pink I think would have been a better combination if you're trying to combine all three then having yellow in there so what do you guys think of this whole concept of getting a fresh desk with these different color paths of the key caps the my Onyx weight keyboard is okay it's got a nice basic format I think it's still a little bit a little bit on the expensive side to be considered sort of competitive because you can get very simple looking keyboards that are not gray that in the black format but still choose you know one of the key caps for my onyx if you want to go that route and customize them with those different pants my main point of feedback would be to increased quality of those key caps because it's a good product it would complement a high quality product like the way but it just doesn't fit in terms of having those edges not refined and having these black particles and having the transparency being an issue when it's illuminated from the bottom and I'm really excited for this to be on the market because now you can add a touch of color not through just RGB illumination alone but through these different peripherals like a mouse pad or the key cap always they charged with linking power up power banks how's them gorgeous aluminum enclosure with dual USB and type-c port with support for quick charge 3.0 to get your device's recharged fast available up to twenty thousand one hundred million power capacities check them out in description below so guys are you getting yourself freshdesk let me know and also here to add one piece of food item on this whole theme to the pad what would it be let me know in the comment down below thanks so much for watching see you
