Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “The Best Keyboard… Now Even Better?”.
You may have heard of these guys before. They’re called daskeyboard.. In fact, I think I recall that I’ve done videos on various daskeyboards in the past, but they’ve got something new that they’re bringing to the game. Now, if you’re unfamiliar with them, they do mechanical keyboards.
That are legendary *taps cardboard box* They’re, like Mavis Beacon’s best friend, *awkward silence*, Mavis, Beacon reference. She taught you how to type as a kid., *more tapping* Home row. I still don’t type properly, No, I’m like picking and pecking.
Anyway. What I noticed that didn’t exist on my previous daskeyboard is now white back lighting.. It’S called the Prime 13 high-performance mechanical keyboard., The ultimate experience for badasses, and they wrote it right on the box., It’s kind of aggressive.. Now you can get it with other switches. If you prefer, MX, blue or so on, Anodized aluminum top panel for improved durability., That’s cool, Full n-key rollover faster for gaming or typing USB port right on it And a keycap puller to remove keys to place keys and so on Legends in the keyboard game and They got the newest, they got the latest and they got the greatest Here’s. What we’re looking at.
My understanding is. The top deck is now completely aluminum, which I’m pretty pumped for. Jack. You’Ve got a daskeyboard on your desk right, now. They’re, not messing around.. This up here, Yes, that’s aluminum., It’s black, but it’s kind of got like a luminescence to it, like it’s picking up the light, a little bit and almost looking kind of gray Clicky, but there’s no.
Like switch click. *Clickety clack*, I mean, if that’s the noise that turns you on You got it here.. They went for the traditional feet on there.. I kinda like that..
I think you might switch to this one.. You probably wan na switch to this one. Well, I don’t know if you can or not. I might switch to this. Braided cable in here.. Now it terminates into two USB cables. Gold-plated, pretty nice, and the reason for that is, you do have another USB port here.. Now it’s only USB 2.0 and I guess it could have been nice for those 3.0, but that should work for at least charging up your phone connecting a USB thumb, drive, etc. It’s nice to have an extra one right on your desktop.. So that’s all fine and dandy Lou., But what about the new features and functions? What about the backlight? So, let’s dim some lights here and watch this baby glow Boom Comes to life, which is really nice white backlighting. As you can see Now there are levels to it.
You can control that up here via the f keys, you see they sort of utilized the side of the keys along top to show you the different functions available from volume. The media buttons over here for play, pause next and so on, and then controls for the brightness of the backlight, whether you want it on or don’t want it on. I mean why would you want a backlit keyboard? I guess it’s pretty obvious you’re in a dimly lit environment or you just want more contrast on the keys when you’re working at night..
What I like about daskeyboard is it’s a little bit understated When they do something. It’S like yeah, we get it. You want to game.
Alright, We want to give you the mechanical key switches. We know you’re a power user, but we’re not going to go over the top with it. You can have a nice white backlight, pick your key switches and end up with something a little more subtle, but still functional The new Prime 13 daskeyboard. I don’t know if it’s the first backlit version, but it’s the first one that I’ve seen and I think it’s just a little tweak on something. That’S already really good. Like I said this one is on Jack’s desk right now, while the old version of it .
