Linus tech tips coverage of CES 2015 is brought to you by phantom glass visit store phantom dot glass for the best iron screen protectors out there as well as HyperX alright guys welcome to the cherry booth where we will be checking out the Cherry MX board 6.0 the juicy details on this board are mainly in its RK or real key technology the idea behind this technology is replacing the traditional digital scanning tech inside of a keyboard with then actually even older analog tech in the form of something similar to an oscilloscope cherry tells me that this technology will take one sample in 0.4 milliseconds then take another sample in another 0.4 milliseconds all while running calculations on what keys are currently doing something in order report out a key press in 0.8 milliseconds but the USB 2.0 standard bumps it up to a total time of one millisecond cherry also claims that today's keyboards have an average reaction time of about 20 milliseconds with some boards going as high as 45 plus milliseconds so it's crazy freaking fast but what about the rest of the keyboard well it will come with either Cherry MX blue red brown or black switches although they're not all available right now and it will have a magnetically attaching wrist rest which features real rubber not synthetic and an aluminum upper body which will be coated in order to protect it from the oils in your skin which could cause it to wear away and look ugly over time it has a nicely braided USB cable as well with a hundred different brightness levels for the backlight key caps I would love to test a bunch of keyboards reporting speeds on my own using something like a beagle USB 2.0 analyzer but this would be a lot of research and a lot of work so let me know what you think in the comments down below or on twitter at luke underscore la AFR if you want to see all the rest of our CES content be sure to subscribe to Linus tech tips thank you to Phantom glass for protecting our phones and sending us here this year also we have a cool video coming with them very soon which well I can't tell you much about it doesn't have a beagle USB 2.0 analyzer in it I know that much also thank you to HyperX for sending us here this year check out their YouTube page youtube.com slash HyperX if they get a hundred thousand subscribers on that gaming focus Channel they will be doing a giveaway if they hit that before January 11th so be sure to subscribe so they can do that giveaway thank you guys for watching and I'll see you next time
