here at the Razr booth we're checking out the orb weaver this is a very premium we're talking over a hundred dollars dedicated game pack welcome to Linus tech tips at CES 2013 our trip to the show this year is powered by Corsair maker of quality PC components and peripherals our trusted storage partner is Seagate technology and our trusted networking partner is Vince's it offers some functionality that a keyboard just plain can't because of the ergonomics of a gamepad like this now they've also taken some of the design concepts that came from newer products like the Ouroboros in terms of allowing better ergonomics depending on the size and shape of your hands so what makes this a premium gamepad well it's got green LED backlights it's got a beautiful matte finish other than that check this out guys Cherry MX blue switches all over the place these are all fully custom key caps so that you can comfortably reach all of them and it is fully mechanical even the d-pad on the side right here is mechanical it is eight way mechanical so it's not kind of an emulated in between diagonals no it actually has dedicated diagonals it's fully compatible with synapse 2.0 which means you can program any key to do anything you want to whether it's just remapping it whether it's a macro you can even it even has a shift functionality so if you want more than 20 fully programmable keys you can go shift over here and program another set of 20 key functions so you can do 40 things with this gamepad alone which is very very impressive now I want to show you guys how the adjustability works down here you got a couple little buttons you got one right here so you can pop this out there's four settings from XL l medium small and then this guy right here as a button that slides out in four settings right here the unit is extremely well built overall and it feels very solid which is good because the gaming peripherals can get thrown around a little bit and it has look at this this is a rubber surface these are rubber surfaces these are rubber surfaces you put this thing down it's not going anywhere I'm pushing on it really hard okay so there you go adjustability wise so I'm gonna put it down as low as it goes there you go I can reach comfortably I can reach t3 I can reach 18 no problem now what we're gonna do is we're gonna put slicks hand on this thing yeah that's not gonna work that's not gonna fly folks no not gonna work okay so we're gonna go ahead gonna expand it for his baseball mitts slick tell me what you think now that's a lot better there we go that's more like it so it actually will work no matter what your hand size is and I'm just trying to think if there's any uh yes I'm missing one more thing about the customizability this pin right here pop that out and you can actually adjust the positioning of the palm or the inside of your palm rest as well so if you want a more flat profile where as you could see the way slick held it was more like this I would probably hold it more flat however you can even put it in free play mode by simply pulling out the pin and then you can adjust it so however you want and just have it just sit there and well I already called it free play mode and that's what it's called so I don't have another word for it I think that pretty much covers everything that we can say about the orb weaver from Razer don't forget to check out all of our CES 2013 coverage by subscribing to Linus tech tips thanks for watching Linus tech tips at CES 2013 powered by Corsair Seagate Technology and Lynx's you
