so this year at CES the RGB craze was in full swing two years ago with keyboards last year was motherboards this year if you could hold it down long enough to slap an LED on it it was our GB memory SSDs I'm someone's probably making RGB cables at this point but the thing about the RGB craze is that it's very polarizing some people love it and some people hate it which got me thinking what if there was some way that we could tastefully improve RGB products so that nobody could dislike them and then it came to me warbly if you haven't seen nerd sports yet check it out all the episodes are available now for free over at youtube.com slash Channel super fun so for those of you watch the intro or wondering what that smell is that thing I've got the answer for you it is the mechanical keyboard with LED backlight made in China though the manufacturer seems to be a little bit confused because this is clearly not a keyboard what it actually is is a set of key caps for a mechanical keyboard so we're going to have to go to the Amazon page to get a little bit more detail here ah here we go okay so it's the e element PV T double shot injection T cat set and it's available in the gold I showed you already or and yes we bought both of them this Falaschi silver set and I gotta say I was pretty impressed I mean P bTW these are good quality key caps at least on the surface you haven't opened the box yet and as long as you can get over the aesthetic for a full set 25 bucks that's a pretty good value but of course like fine wine if you don't pair it with the right food then you're just getting wasted in your sister's basement complaining about whatever it is that's hard in your life so we needed to find ourselves a keyboard and this one from G scale looks like a pretty good sit this is the cam 570 it's got Cherry MX switches in this case Browns because yeah jobs we're going for brown switches it's got RGB backlighting on each key individually and you can customize the lighting effects and all of that stuff oh yeah did I mention these key caps do have windows so they have lighting pass-through for the letters and finally it features a completely bog-standard layout which is not great if you like something customized about your keyboard experience like macro keys or like oh I don't know I can't think of too many things that I actually like changed about my keyboard so if you really like short shifts or something like that then it's not great for that but it is good for being able to buy cheap key cap replacement sets and have some hope of them actually fitting okay so all that's left now then is to open one of these bad boys up really nice and we we still have to choose which one gold or silver so you guys let me know in the comments below which one you want me to put on quick we've got five seconds go vote who are we kidding there's no way to vote this is live all right let's go ahead and open up the gold one here I realize I'm risking accidentally flashing our dbrand skinned gold backgrounds but I don't think we've ever been tempted to use it before anyway so I'm not going to trust you oh wow this would have been a lot better to keep in the plastic and I would have been able to travel even faster yep don't get too mad at me for cutting towards myself you realize that yes I am under the knife but a source is being applied in this direction see now I'm cutting towards myself totally different okay here we go and we're done here that sound that's the sound of an upgraded keyboard now there are a few things we still need I overlooked that this keyboard does actually have four extra keys in the top right but I had a brilliant idea at least I think it was brilliant I'm going to grab the arrow keys from the silver one and add just a little bit more flick so mute can be volume down that's right volume down can be left arrow which is here oh yes volume up can be right arrow is here no which is here yes and memory because this keyboard is programmable can be this bad boy right here volume up listen I got said before ok the last two things we're going to need then are a keyboard or a computer to plug this bad boy into and this cloth which you'll be keeping next to your keyboard from now until forever if you want it to retain its gorgeous like new shine there we go my lute this time it won't be people oh it's awful if that is not the world's most amazing keyboard I really and truly do not know what is holy crap oh man that's what's let's get it let's get it all dark and intimate in here oh ok well now it's just completely dark ok with that how's that ok so now we've got the software installed and we'll have some footage overlay of all the different profiles you can do you can do solid colors they've got some different effects there's like a raining effect ripple effect wave effect all kinds of good stuff and you know what's the most amazing part of all this is all this this can be yours for less than a hundred dollars how long it'll laugh that we don't know theoretically double-shot keycaps last pretty much forever but what I noticed is that well let loose notice he's actually our chief teacup expert is that the thin foil coating over the top is actually not that durable so it might not last for that long but it'll look amazing in the mean time actually Luke come on over here fun perfect other other than the scratches I actually don't think that they could have made that it was enough and the fact that they made this as a light comes through impeccable they're being completely sarcastic yeah I actually hate it those are absolutely the worst looking key test I've ever seen a must I okay okay eggs they are amazing okay so there you have it have we achieved our goal of making RGB less polarizing no no we have not but we had an awful lot of fun doing it so today we're talking about I fix its latest and greatest pro tech tool kit it's been completely reimagined you've never
