- tech tips coverage of Computex 2013 is powered by Western Digital our trusted gaming gear partner is Corsair Vengeance and our trusted retail partner is NCI XCOM hey guys we're here at gam dias and I know what you're probably thinking is slick another keyboard video seriously no no guys okay first we're gonna do the mouse then we'll do the keyboard of course I had to get to that then we do the headset that we're gonna do this interesting thing right here so first I'm gonna go over the mouse like I just said at first it looks nuts there's tons of stuff all over the place there's 11 macro keys do to do to do to do all over the place it's all programmable they have a nice software for all of their things tied into one let's actually jump up to that real quick so this is their software right now I just have the mouse and keyboard plugged in so at the bottom you can see mouse and keyboard are available so one piece of software all your peripherals as long as they're all from Gambia's alright we're going to jump back down not spend too much time with software as it's still mostly in beta if I flip the mouse over you'll find three scroll wheel II type things right here as you can see they're connected directly if I can spin this out to the plastic panel that is closest to them so this one controls this panel this one controls this panel and this one controls this panel making it a very adjustable Mouse apparently there's also going to be options for other plates to go on this as well and on this side they've noted that some people with smaller hands had problems getting their pinkies caught in here so on the actual production model that will be released they're going to have a plug that can go there temporarily and they can remove it later on if they don't want it personally I would leave it out because I think it looks great without it and my pinky's not going to be caught there I currently have the most setup in the configuration for my hand so I usually claw grip mice and this post isn't big enough for me to palm grip anyways but I never palm grip anything so it's not really that big of a deal so it fits me perfectly right now which is actually kind of nice every finger goes into its exact spot that I would want it to go to my pinky doesn't drag along the mat my thumb doesn't drag along the mat everything is working fine it's a fine looking Mouse we're gonna move on to the keyboard now again slick another keyboard review this one does actually have some interesting things first off I noticed this little camera button and that intrigues me it's a recording button or a streaming button or a network streaming button or whatever you want it on release it's not ready yet but I have been told what you can do is you can live stream with it or you can local record with it or you can stream to another computer in the house so if you have someone with a home theater computer set up to the TV you get streamed to that your dad or your family or your mom or whoever wants to watch you play whatever game you're playing can watch their I don't know if you have anyone that wants to just sit and watch you play games but that is a cool option now moving forward if I pull this key off they'll probably not be too happy that I didn't use a key polar but I don't know whatever so sorry gam Deus it looks like cherry blue switches it looks fairly standard but then there's this little square around the switch that is a way of dampening the press so it doesn't actually bottom out which makes it quite a bit quieter as if I'm gonna put the mic there I don't know how it tuned you are with Cherry blues but they're really really loud you can hear the click and then you can hear it slam against the bottom of the keyboard if you press all the way down like I do I always press all the way down it's a bad habit but it is a habit so that dampens it and also makes less total travel time and makes it spring up faster they're clean claiming that is a type of hybrid switch and it'll feel more like a red than it does like a blue I'm not so sure how I feel about that I like the blues and I like dampeners but I'm not sure how much a red user would be able to actually relate the two that's up to you I would recommend trying it out yourself as I do with all mechanical keyboards up at the top here that have got a USB hub one of them with mic and audio headers not headers plugs sorry about that talks a lot today jumping down to the bottom they have a wrist rest it's a massive wrist rest any 7g users will like they're huge risk wrestle like this one thing to notice is its magnetic clips in very nicely and if you take it off spin it around and put it on top of your keyboard it actually works as a dust cover this is kind of interesting I do carry dust covers with my keyboards just to keep them nice and pristine and if you weren't a place that is very dusty this could help you out it's just interesting added functionality that Gambia's has done you'll notice that their logo actually says Zeus on it that is just actually their logo they are Gambia's as it says on the wrist rest moving past the keyboard we get to pestis this thing is huge and crazy and has heat sinks and vibrates and moment motors and everything so basically I'm gonna jump into the heatsinks they're saying gamers ears get hot that sounds pretty accurate to me so they have heat sinks in here to try and keep the overall temperature of the of the cans cold so our freezin terminology cans there that's what some people call ear cups on headphones huge huge soft cups they feel quite nice up here there's a little bit not quite as much as down here but this is the more important part in my opinion if say you're in a game someone throws a grenade and it blows up behind you depending on what side they're on one of the earmuffs will vibrate and I believe if it's central they'll both vibrate yeah so if it's central they were both vibrate if it's on one side one will vibrate just a little bit of added functionality there they like tolling it if added forth develoment so that's kind of interesting or forced to mention the boom mic is very adjustable so if you somehow have a mouth that's over here when the rest of your face is over there you can do that or you can very easily have it wherever you want it it seems to be able to be pretty stiff wherever you want it so that is pretty cool these things I tested them out the base is pretty insane it can pound like pretty much no other of course there is others but pretty much no other base is awesome I noticed a little bit of siblings on some highs but those weren't that bad and that brings us to this guy this guy's quite interesting it it heats to your monitor through 3m stickers and it's actually not that bad apparently if you take it off it doesn't leave and it won't pull any of the paint off your monitor although it may leave some residue basically what this is is its cable management for one cable I highly suggest your mouse as they have it set up here and then on the back if I can rotate this monitor I'm getting some people trying to help me here we'll try and get this done I'm gonna unplug the monitor actually there we go there we go there you go USB 2.0 hub on the back that is actually pretty cool and then this you've probably won wondering what that was doing there I had the headphones hooked up there and that's actually what makes sense a lot of people don't have headphone holders personally I have Sennheiser's that came with a headphone holder and I love it if you don't have a headphone holder this is not a bad idea thank you for checking out our gam TS booth they have tons of other options so check that out and if you want to see all the rest of our Computex content
