as you listened and implemented advice from NCIX employees on their MEC five gaming keyboards so this is from their levitron series of keyboards it is a mechanical keyboard and I'm not gonna say who the NCIX employees were but if there's anything you don't like about this keyboard then I hope that you have a keyboard yourself that is capable of writing Russian characters so that you can email the NZXT employee who is responsible for your dissatisfaction mechanical Keys the cherry black mechanical key switch is widely believed to provide the best gaming experience featuring a linear design ideal for rap depressing of keys on the right stiffness to help prevent accidental key press it also has a dedicated key for turning the Windows key on and off personally I don't use that but some people do has a numeric keyboard that can actually be attached and then detached to put either on the right or the left side of the keyboard which i think is kinda neat you can also just take it right off and use it as a standalone USB keyboard just by keypad which is kind of neat some people like those antique ghosting ensures multiple keys register when you press them simultaneously that's good modular design attached for modular accessories okay unlimited profiles created to save as many profiles as you like for maximum key customization require softens and that's cool because I can't imagine a reason why anyone's keyboard software actually has a limit to how many profiles but they all do and this one doesn't meet the add-on macro d-pad expansion allows for six additional programmable keys the expansion module rail enables custom position by sliding the d-10 left to right so I'll show you guys that after volume knob water-resistant remain functional even if accidentally exposed to liquid in such an event do not flip or shake the keyboard and the liquid will properly drain itself it's gonna be lifetime support by phone live chat email and including the warranty okay you can phone their support about your warranty but your warranty is three years here is the keyboard itself so you can see it looks like a no number pad keyboard when you first take it out of the box but then you will find all of modular accessories and hoo-hah that you didn't initially see once you take the keyboard itself out there's their packaging here is their extra USB cable which I will show you what it's for in a minute here is modular d-pad do dad do dad nice I satisfy even myself with my quirkiness sometimes alright we have the included software which you'll need for your programmable keys with unlimited profiles your Quick Start Guide which pretty much shows you how a keyboard works okay I don't think I'll be needing that and then we have so we had a look at the metaphor in fact slick pointed out fascinating a fascinating fact to me and that is that the MEK 4 was the first unboxing he ever showed me back when he was doing his job application so I thought that was interesting so here we are we've you've come to the MEK 5 and this will be the last unboxing he ever films with me cuz he's fired actually I only fired him once today usually I fire him multiple times in a day but then I always rehire him so he's not too oh he's not to put off by it at this point alright in terms of the cable that's included it is just over one full - arm span in length includes two wires one for presumably yes the built-in hub and the other for the actual data to the keyboard itself that uses a nice thin cable though I like that instead of like one of those super ridiculous cables just for the sake of you know having a couple connectors end up at the other end in terms of the layout of the keyboard we have what to me is the there we go we have what to me is the ideal layout where you've got your long shift long shift long winter and long backspace it does have two windows keys and no function keys however the fact that you have all these programmable keys which you can switch between A or B as well as the dedicated Windows key means this windows key shouldn't really bother gamers for the most part ah so they did not make the mistake of one of their contemporaries who also builds mechanical keyboards these are all mechanical and these are all mechanical mechanical neither mechanical this is a full mechanical keyboard with the couple of small exceptions being the volume dial clearly if you put a key switch and it would be stupid also the window is on and off and the a and B switch between these programmable keys these are also not programmable but it just depends on I mean whether you want to use them or not and what's cool is you can put them on flip it away if you don't feel like using it and flip it down if you want more macro keys to use during a gaming session so you'll have all of these and all of these or you just won't have them it actually slides on in much the same way as like you know like a sniper scope in fact oh look at this no they even have like shiny like glassy pieces on the sides and let yeah it's okay that's totally totally sniperscope inspired design and that looks like the rail that you can actually position it wherever you want so you can throw it over here if it's you know here that you desire to have it and you just put it here if it's here that you desire to have it it's totally up to you personally I'd probably put it right about there because I don't have much use for f1 and when I'm gaming but escape might come in handy and you never know when you might need f5 f5 is like my favorite key on the keyboard so I want to know it's not I'd like so I want to show you guys how this works basically there's a USB port there's your USB port and you put the thing into the thing and then it will sit on the left of your keyboard tada or you undo it or preferably with the switch on the bottom I put the thing in the thing preferably with the switch on the bottom hold that back over open up the other side and plug it in there and clip it into place I think it's cool or if you're one of those people in fact slick was just pointing out to me a little while ago the lack of mechanical detachable keypads because lots of people like to use the the shorter keyboards so the ones without a number pad for general use then they have their mouse then they have the keypad on the other side for like more efficient hand movement this is a mechanical keypad so it comes with it all you gotta do is plug in the USB cable and plug it into your computer and you have a full mechanical keyboard key pad including a dedicated calculator calculator button which I am personally a huge fan of it is also a very well-built one with nice long rubber pads on the bottom as well as two different height options in terms of how you want to lay it down on the desk so check this out you can either do what in which case it won't move you can do half inclined in which case that will actually move a little bit that's a shame or you can do fully inclined in which case it won't move this is probably the one I would go for cuz I like this angle when I'm typing on a number pad the keyboard actually has the same options as well so you can see here that it's got two of these where you can do either the full height the half height or the no height at all depending on what you're into wrist rest is oh look at that permanently attached wrist press that seems like the kind of thing I might complain about because it's less customizable but it isn't because every keyboard should have a wrist rest and the ones that are detachable tend to break so there you go I'm a fan Wow isn't actually really good has a volume knob it doesn't have a number lock light as you may or may not have noticed because it's on here that's just an FYI and that's kind of a cool overall aspect to a very very nice overall build feel to not a lot of flex to the to the deck of the keyboard itself then I'm impressed so thank you for checking out my unboxing the first look at the levitron mech 5 from as you don't forget to subscribe -
