2011-08-14
today I have an unboxing of the a CEO of the 3d Tron and I believe what they need to say is levitron but you can clearly see this e is backwards in elite gaming manner in fact it's the the favorites let's be the troubles line or crosshair let three the true crosshair charm hmm okay whatever it's the levitron gaming keyboard it is a high performance gaming keyboard you can manually toggle the keyboard from standard mode to gaming mode an adjustable keyboard backlight will keep the action going even when the lights go out so this is a backlit keyboard with programmable macro keys ten times three programmable macro keys so using the hotkey shortcut specific keyboard characters or whole keyboard sequences through the keyboard software macro keys automatic profiles switching with the launch of user specified program or the press of a key the keyboard will be right on board with your game plan by automatically switching to the right profile very cool so that's what they mean by ten times three macro keys so ten macro keys with up to three separate profiles media Keys including volume up/down and mute keys for convenient audio control also equipped with replaceable core acidy gaming function keys with the key cap remover very cool so I'll show you guys that once we open it up the control the battlefield with the long description that if you really want to you can pause the video and read it ok customizable keys Auto profile switching through your profiles command centre that's the software macro keys media keys package contents and this is all stuff that we've covered before limited lifetime warranty that's interesting you don't see that very often on a keyboard so there you go limited lifetime warranty from an SEO ok baby up Oh lifetime support in addition to warranty by phone by live chat by email huh really not very often you see that on a keyboard Hey okay we got a QuickStart guide here in color showing you the macro keys the command center media keys other more different macro keys product features which we've covered twice now let's see if there's anything ok the key stroke length is 5 million this is a membrane keyboard so something to bear in mind is that at the price point this keyboard is at with the backlight built-in that is to be expected you're not going to be getting a mechanical keyboard at this kind of a price point and let's have a look at the processor in more detail after I cut this open with my knife off-camera oh no wait no I got it I got it turn it off just yet come apart I know my phone's ringing okay I'm going off camera in the baggie we find irreplaceable gaming Keys so you can see here we there's our there's our s which hold on w a s now I'm confused oh no W hey you know what let's get this report out of the bag first that will help us make things more efficient in the long term all right keyboard the overall look of the levitron is actually fairly good it's got a velocity black finish just around the keyboard itself the keys have a matte finish to them and then around the outside of it there is there's a more of a matte finish okay all of the control center keys up here these are glossy you can actually manually switch between the profiles or you can use the software to make it so that it will automatically switch between the profiles you can control the level of the LED backlight you can lock the Windows key that is a very useful functionality the last thing you want is to accidentally minimize your game and let's have a look at the positioning of the macro keys so there's five macro keys on the very far left five more macro keys on the very far right and I'm just gonna do a quick evaluation of what I think of the actual key responses themselves these are a very short travel so you're not gonna have to press them down a whole long way in order to get a response out of them what I would compare this to I'm not necessarily in terms of key response or feel but in terms of the travel distance is something from something from one of razors gaming keyboard lines so where they use like a here you can hear that very quiet so the switches are extremely quiet very low travel so just the general feel is similar to what I would get from from one of their keyboards although not with the glossy keys okay so the hello world I am seeing what I think this keyboard not bad actually it's a little bit mushy er than I would personally prefer I do like a little bit more tactile feedback but it's a trade-off because it does take a little bit longer to press a key that has more tactile feedback in terms of the layout of the keyboard itself I'd say there are no glaring errors other than the positioning of the backspace personally I have small hands and I very much prefer a long backspace and then a shortening of the Enter key so just putting this guy right here is my preferred layout because nobody presses enter up here but many people press ENTER here long shift keys that is a must for a gaming keyboard and then WASD everything is laid out as normal here we do have our media keys up here so there's your play pause as well as your volume adjustment keys I think that pretty much covers everything on the front of it let's move around to the back so it does have little feet that you can go ahead and flick up so if you want to increase the angle of the keyboard towards you or decrease it all you have to do is flip those and then let's have a look at the key remover so it does come with a key remover tool as well as replacement keys for most of the gaming area keys themselves so why don't we do our huh that that was easy and then we can take our and we can put it back on and now our has a reload not not it and if you like really wanted to thanks crew with someone who you know who has this keyboard you could take one of your spare keys and you could like you could do something like that just to be a jerk you jerk really slowly there Oh No which one's the a key hahaha that's pretty much it alright so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the levitron for me
