I Made The New ASUS Keyboard Better.

Asus has challenged me to upgrade their keyboard I'm challenging you to upgrade our latest Rog gaming keyboard how do you find my house they first handed me the keyboard This is the RG is off and you're going to be upgrading it can't really hold he then set the stakes yes Asus sponsoring this video if the final product comes out well then yes Asus will sponsor the video and gave me a time frame how long do I have you have two weeks starting from and with that marks the start of the 14-day Asus Rog challenge [Music] before we upgrade this keyboard we need to establish the plan step one we are going to open the keyboard step two we are going to really open the keyboard that was an old keyboard that wasn't actually the Asus step three we're gonna assess what we have and we're gonna see what we can do with that and finally step four we're gonna be upgrading this keyboard so good that Asus definitely has to give me that sponsorship we might be cutting it a bit too close because keyboard Parts take about two weeks to arrive order online and we have only two weeks so let's hope that they arrive in time and let's hope there's no foreshadowing that disappears right now but first let's open the keyboard so this is the Asos keyboard oops oh it is rog's take on the pre-built custom mechanical keyboard RG being the gaming side of Asus for pre-built keyboard I must say it is a really cool keyboard coming with an inbuilt customizable OLED screen a side volume rocker for you to rock nice full RGB a whole kit for opening and lubing your switches including some genuine crytok's 205 grade zero Loop which is really handy since I ran out of my cry talks in the previous video so I will be keeping that and a whole bunch of other stuff for the keyboard and some features which are only found inside the keyboard although I am a little skeptical because they did see gasket mounted with three layers of foam so I had to go in and check which initiates step 2. disassembling the keyboard I actually have a magic trick for you guys actually two magic tricks on how to remove keycaps and switches faster we all know the famous wipe your hand over the keyboard and all the keycaps come off but have you heard of The Snap remove all you do is you put your fingers private you snap your fingers and boom magic now all that's left to do is to remove the screws and get inside the keyboard remember I am skeptical that I mentioned three layers of foam and the gasket mounting system so I open the keyboard to find out myself and to my horror I open the keyboard to find oh no oh no the three layers of foam and the gasket mounting system but wait squishy isn't it good they delivered exactly what they advertised and yes that is good but also not good at the same time you see the reason why keyboards I guess get mounted in the first place is to provide a bouncier typing experience and the foam in the keyboard is to fill up empty spaces in the keyboard to prevent the keyboard from sounding Hollow combine them together and it defeats the purpose of it being gasket mounted so here's the a'soft dismantled and all that is within it we have the keycaps played PCB switches the case a really really massive Bluetooth chip like holy that's the one that you find on the motherboards and the case of the keyboard wait I already mentioned that so what can we do with all this well firstly we should probably hit a bit because the sun is kind of setting and I'm afraid of the dark okay now we can start first I wanted to tackle the problem of the bounciness or like thereof I spent probably half a day just experimenting on how the keyboard should be configured with or without foam and came to the conclusion that it really doesn't matter if you want a slightly bouncier feel take out the foam if not just leave it in for a stiffer feel either way they are both really stiff because of the rubber gaskets that the keyboard uses so I decided to swap the stock gaskets for my own poron foam gaskets to achieve the bounce I was looking for and it's only mildly bouncier still pretty stiff but it's okay you know sometimes I like it still stitches next is to change the switches the stock switches that came with the board are great pre-lubed in the factory so they're pretty small part of the box [Music] but do you know what's another switch that comes pre-looped smooth out of the box but feels and sounds better the gator on Oil Kings so switch us in stabilizers the stock stabilizers come pretty rapidly which is not really my taste I would much rather third-party stabilizer but Asus has thought of that their PCB actually supports screw-in stabilizers so third-party stabilizers can actually work with the keyboard so goodbye stock ones and hello holy modded and loop new rock stabilizers and with all that in here comes the part I was most afraid of the keycaps so remember when I said the keycaps will take two weeks to arrive yeah it's not arrived yet you know I thought it would be a good idea to order keycaps online and it will come in two weeks but on hindsight you know it's from China it would take a long time I don't know why I expected it to arrive in like two weeks and it's gonna take longer anyway because shipping from the plane it's gonna take so long and it's Gonna Come [Music] I got it guys I got it it arrived I don't know why I'm so scared I would have arrived because my country is literally neighbors of China and I probably could have just walked there and got it myself but yeah it's here so let's put it on so here are the keycaps oh it actually looks good so here's how the full keyboard looks like it looks pretty good but we have way too much time left literally like 10 days and I was thinking that's the customizable screen so let's do something with the screen so this screen is customizable but I wanted to see what we can put on Among Us you know what they say can't spell Asus without sauce okay so putting graphics on the keyboard is actually really really difficult you got a bear with me here there's gonna be a bit of nerdy talk all right so first you want to do is you want to open the Asus software and uh click replace file and you choose the file you under place yeah that's basically it it's so complicated sadly the OLED screen only displays black and white but uh hopefully one day Asus makes the RGB version for now we'll be displaying this cool black and white 8-bit wave thing I thought it was pretty cool because it matches the keycaps and stuff honestly I don't know why I did the whole time I think you know with the 10 days left it was meant to create anxiety amongst you guys watching and also most videos will do it nowadays you know the cool YouTubers they all hit above a million views so let's see whether that works but yeah now I guess we just wait for the guy to return oh okay so this is day Zero that sounds back and uh underneath this Claw is the final product so uh first I already see the keyboard yeah let's go okay three two one oh yeah I was really trying my best to sell the keyboard to him I did a Cool Wave effect to match with the keycaps you know the waves you can hear me nervously mentioning all the features to him the gasket mounting system you know how you say it was gasket mounted right I changed it to my own phone support a lot bounce here experience the typing oh this is very very very smooth yes he likes the keyboard I actually really love it I think you did a great job with the design first the the way he caps and then you even synced it up with the GIF right there getting a keyboard like this is all about customization and it came out really really nice I actually love it okay so you do like it yeah I do I do okay so he likes the keyboard but million dollar question am I going to get the sponsorship from Asus so foreign
