- tech tips coverage of e3 2014 is brought to you by HyperX fury series high performance SSDs the Corsair Vengeance k70 and k9t RGB mechanical keyboards and NCIX comm are trusted retailer for high performance gaming PC's every once in a while I get a question from one of you guys ask me where you can get a wireless mechanical keyboard and I can never usually properly answer because most places that I know of are always out of stock that brings in the raw cats Silva I hope I'm saying that correctly sorry if I'm not but this wireless mechanical keyboard and many other things are the much wire 'less modular gaming board as they call it as a cherry mechanical keyboard on it in various possible colors we're not entirely sure yet this is their day one of release and there's tons of things that are up in the air this one particularly has Cherry MX blacks but again we're not sure what it's going to have on it when it's released on the left side here you can see there's two full-size USB a ports and one microbead these are for micro beats for charging the wireless modular board and the to a size ports are for one having a mouse on this board which you can have any Mouse you want that'll come in later though and possibly charging another device this board has a very interesting feature where you can see I can slide the mouse pad back and forth but then the rail goes even further and goes above where the keyboard is right here I'd be wondering why well hopefully later on not entirely sure you'll be able to attach your own things here like maybe a mount for your phone or tablet because this device can be used on Android phones and windows mobile OS which is actually fairly interesting but also he was talking to me you can 3d print whatever the heck you want and put a rail on here if he wants you could 3d print a cup holder and have a cup holder on your keyboard because why not 3d printing that's basically all I had to say about that and then if you see along the top rail here there's also actually cable management for your mouse and all that really comes in for the most because you can just plug it into USB it's not a proprietary most can have whatever you want the only thing that that will really affect is the battery life this Wireless spice will have a battery life of around 8 to 12 hours depending on how you have it set up if you have all the LEDs on the keyboard and a crazy Mouse with a ton of different functions on it and LEDs all over the place maybe on the lower end of the 8 to the 12 hours if you have all the LEDs off on the keyboard a very low power maybe on the higher end of the age of 12 hours now I told you guys this can be used on a Android device or a Windows Mobile LS it can also be used on micro consoles or say the Alienware alpha or a steam machine os box and any of that kind of stuff you want if you're putting into a PC you know going through a USB dongle mobile devices will figure it out their own way the USB dongle that they have here is fantastic because it's in the shape of a couch for whatever reason they don't know if they're going to stick with that again this is day one of product announcement so all this stuff is up in the air they're probably going to end up not having your USB dongle as a couch but who knows they're saying their wireless connectivity standard is a patent-pending as far as I can tell super secrets they won't tell me much about it thousand Hertz polling rate 5-meter standards you can be 5 meters away from the the dongle or device it has a thousand Hertz polling rate that's really all they're telling me about it now one of the things I was really worried about when I first saw this device was there's a fixed wrist rest and fixed mousepad and that would be a big problem because you're investing what I'm assuming we don't have a price point yet would be a lot of money because it's a keyboard and it's all this other kind of stuff but rest assured both the wrist rest and mousepad will be interchangeable swappable modular completely you can do whatever the heck you want you can change it to a soft service a hard surface completely different thing whatever you want to do very excited about that because that will massively increase the lifespan of this product and last but definitely not least is the cushions on the bottom we gamers like our comfort we like our nice desktop chairs and we like being lazy so cushions on the bottom are fantastic these are actually really nice I hope these end up in the final version of this product because I do like them a lot I hope you guys liked watching this video if you want to see more of our e3 coverage be sure to subscribe to Linus tech tips and thank you very much to HyperX Corsair and ncx for sending us here this year this our first year and I really hope it goes well
