hey what's going on youtubers welcome back once again to TECA tomorrow now in the last two weeks we've seen some crazy as keyboards the real force RGB two hundred and fifty dollars of course there the week before at two hundred dollars a lot of people seen between the tuned for further Corsair but today we're going to take a look at a keyboard that's under a hundred dollars mechanical features its own keys but did I say it's under a hundred bucks that's right now this is the test oral xcalibur SE spectrum gamma can remember I remember it all and one big flouse so with that said though let's jump in and let's check out with his keyboards all about and why at the end of the day I think it's the absolute best mechanical keyboard for under arounder bucks so first off let's check out what comes in the box now obviously you get the keyboard itself but you get two other little things you get this little sticker that's right this little sticker right here with has every one of the key things and what they can do for you which you can actually no stick in the center of your monitor until you learn what you're doing then they get this little quick book guide that tells you everything that's going on really that's what comes in the box now the keyboard itself when you're looking at it from the top it looks like a and the other keyboard that you've ever seen because obviously the most of them are set up pretty much exactly the same in fact this looks a lot like the real force RGB in many ways to turn onto its back it's got the same type of plating got two feet all the same type of features almost the same type of tilt as well now the big thing about this keyboard is the Tesoro switches now these are supposed to be similar to the Cherry MX switches but they're just branded by these guys it seems like a lot of people out there when I read reviews are liking these types of keys now there's absolutely no metal in these keys whatsoever and that makes them pretty much given anything else in the market so you not to worry about spilling your drinks and stuff like that as well because it's anti dust and spill resistant which is pretty cool which means you just spill your drink on it you have to worry about metal getting corroded and down the line ruining your keyboard whatsoever you just got to take the keys up dry and clean that stuff up and you're back and going in the game now one thing great about this keyboard is you don't have to worry about any type of driver CD whatsoever it's got a driverless set up you can do everything on the fly all the adjustments are very simple you get the escape button on the top and then you get your for programmable macro button and remember the memory is already in the keyboards you don't have to worry about programming this anywhere else and saving it any kind of memory file on your computer you can pick this thing up go wherever you want and everything's programmed in it next up the f5 through f8 keys these are the speed of your activation and you can go anywhere from five milliseconds up to 40 milliseconds depending on what your preference is as far as multimedia Keys go the f9 to f11 keys these control your volume you can mute raise your volume up or bring it down through these keys the f12 is the keyboard lock button and last but not least are the profile keys you can see it says profile 1 profile to profile 3 and these also double as the standard keys that are on any keyboard some other features of the keys themselves are non-contact signal which eliminates double typing all the keys are hot swappable and like I said before this keyboard features an advanced anti dust and spill resistance design the report rate is a thousand Hertz there's also 512 kilobytes of built-in memory the life cycle of the keystroke is a hundred million keystrokes I don't know if you're going to ever be able to do that much gaming backlit is completely RGB backlit and the backlit setup is perky and every K can be programmed to its own color so you're definitely going to find something that you like there are also anti-ghosting effects which you can turn on and off and they offer full n key and 6 key roll over and since the Excalibur is so well built you know it's going to last a long time for your gaming needs another thing to take note of now I don't know how much this actually means to different people because this is obviously an area where it depends on what you're doing but this keyboard does offer no extra USB ports or anything else like that you get the single USB that you plug into your PC and that's it as far as connectivity now that's totally simplistic a lot of people going to be like hey that's cool with me but I know there's some folks out there be like oh man no USB not for me and if you're wondering hey how long is that cable Elric it's 1.8 meters and as far as the dimensions go the xcalibur sizes in it 450 by 150 by 34 millimeters it's very light - it only weighs one point to four kilograms alright folks so those are the basic specs and all that about the keyboard now this next part of the keyboard is very subjective some people out there like hell yes I love RGB other people like no man I don't want any RGB we'll check out if you don't like the our GP or anything like that you don't have to use it whatsoever you can completely disable it on the Excalibur so you don't have to see anything but the keys the way they are but if you're into the lighting effects like I'm I think it's really cool you can do a lot of different stuff with this keyboard and best of all you don't have to go online and do any driver type of stuff you can do live recording of different keystrokes and all kinds of different things to make this keyboard yours like I said before there's ten different programs that are already inside the keyboard for you to use so yeah you can't like Sokoli crazy and control but with all these things already pre-programmed it in the most of stuff that you're going to want to do is going to be in there I guarantee if you like RGB unless you're trying to write your name or use something fancy like that I think you'll be totally cool with what this does now you have to do is just hit a couple different keys and then you're boom you're able to do whatever you want and set it the way you want now the question other people asked before in other videos they said hey man you missed the part of how loud are these keys when you're hitting them well these aren't that loud but obviously it's not a membrane based keyboard obviously membrane based keyboards they're smooth they're nice and soft they're beautiful mechanical keyboards all have a little bit of click and since this is modeled after the red switches you can see this going to be about that same volume it's not extremely clacking but there is still a slight clack as you guys can see right here now as far as the in-game experience goes this keyboard is very very nice all the keys responds but like I said before if the keys aren't as responsive as you like you can always change the activation to be exactly what you like now one caveat however might be is there's no wrist rest so if a wrist press is like you know you're mmm well then you might want to think about that but there are so many aftermarket wrist frets that you can get I really like the one it's from gel from Kensington that one's totally badass that's one I use so I'll try to put a link down below because that's one I think is more preferable to anyone that comes any keep on the market but that's just me but at the end of the day folks the best thing about this keyboard beyond all these nice features is come on it's under a hundred bucks $99 right now so in my book I really feel that for under $100 this is the absolute best mechanical keyboard you can get your hands on I like it a lot now I know there's gonna be some people out there might be saying well it's not a mechanical keyboard because of this or that I don't know but its market as that so let's just keep it in that frame where you won't cut it up in like punk-rock metallic to the speed rock death metal you know we want to shop up to so many pieces like they don't rock music will don't leave it like that and at the end of the day down below like button we will have a link to all the information about this keyboard so if you guys want to pick one up to yourself or just check out more information before you make that buy you can do so here so I network you guys been watching ticker tomorrow we got more tech coming out every day this week so to stay tuned to the channel
