WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:03.319 The following program is produced by the Tech Talk Radio Network. 2 00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:07.080 Hey Bill Ry, the science guy here whatever, I am 3 00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:09.480 listening to the radio, especially tech Talk Radio. 4 00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:16.280 Welcome to another edition of tech Talk Radio. I'm Andy 5 00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:19.679 Taylor and I'm justin Leme and Sean is out because 6 00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:22.320 he's doing so is he on the board of an HOA? 7 00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:25.120 Is he like he's on an HOA board? I've lost 8 00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:29.120 a lot of respect for him, honestly, I mean. 9 00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:34.079 He might be popping in. Yeah. It was it until 10 00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:37.880 I moved out here to Tucson that we had hoas. 11 00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:41.560 We didn't have him in California, didn't have him in Coachella, 12 00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:42.880 didn't have the Nunning Beach. 13 00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:45.479 It just depends on the neighborhood you live in. What's 14 00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:48.880 been happening, at least in my area is there's no 15 00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:53.399 longer hoa's. They're called metro districts really, and they're they're 16 00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:56.679 considered a special district, which is a form or a 17 00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:58.039 branch of the government. 18 00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:04.200 So they never Oh wow, I remember driving in Honeyton 19 00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:07.200 Beach and I went down my street. Now you remember 20 00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:10.079 these homes in honey And Beach. Yeah, they go for 21 00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:14.079 almost a million bucks, right, and they're basic three bedroom homes, 22 00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:17.159 but it is California. I remember turning the corner once 23 00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:19.439 and seeing this house, and I saw this, and I'm 24 00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:21.519 not kidding. The grass was as tall as the car, 25 00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:24.519 like they hadn't mowed it in forever. And I remember 26 00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:26.200 that house. I remember the people that lived in there. 27 00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:28.680 They obviously didn't live there anymore. And I remember thinking 28 00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:31.319 to myself, that's why we have hoas. But there's no 29 00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:32.599 HOA in that neighborhood. 30 00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:34.599 I mean there there definitely is a case to be 31 00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:37.640 made for HS. Yes, it does keep the neighborhood somewhat 32 00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:40.840 standard across the board. But I think the problem is 33 00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:43.959 is just it's just they get too powerful, they get 34 00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:45.239 a little too zealous. 35 00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:48.400 Yeah you will. I guess we've heard the stories, oh mine. 36 00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:52.159 Oh yeah, I mean there are literally websites and subreddits. 37 00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:54.200 They just overset their bands. They come over and they 38 00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:56.359 look over your fence and they're like, oh, well, you'll 39 00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:58.359 watch something on your back you're already not supposed to. Well, 40 00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:00.400 that's the whole purpose of a fence, so that you 41 00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:01.079 don't see it. 42 00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:04.840 We'll have to find out if if Sean is indeed 43 00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:06.959 on a board. He had to go to the meeting. 44 00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:09.639 So either that or he's going there to complain about something, 45 00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:12.400 which could always be the case. Matt has had a 46 00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:16.319 little issue with the heater giving him problems at home. 47 00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:19.560 He just got his brand new HVAC system installed earlier 48 00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:22.599 this year and it's already failed on him twice. And literally, 49 00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:25.360 as of the time, as right now as we were recording, 50 00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:28.919 Denver is actually getting a massive snowstorm coming in. 51 00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:31.800 Oh no, so it is not the night to lose 52 00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:34.199 your heat, right, you know, it's. 53 00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:36.599 One thing to be cold whatever. Yeah, okay, fine, you 54 00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:39.439 got electric blankets and you know, heat up some hot 55 00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:43.719 water or whatever. But it's the freezing of the pipes, oh, 56 00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:49.520 because that leads to a world of hurt that I, 57 00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:53.240 for one, have been privy to in this house. 58 00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:56.319 You've dealt with the pipes that have been busted and 59 00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:59.159 pipes that have leaked. As a matter of fact, sadly enough, 60 00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:03.240 as we have followed your journey twice, you're now going 61 00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:04.599 through it a third time as well. 62 00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:05.199 Well. 63 00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:09.840 Yeah, as of tonight, like literally I literally contacted Andy 64 00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:11.479 before the show and said, look, man, I'm not gonna 65 00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:13.800 do it. I can't do it. I'm just so stressed 66 00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:17.759 out right now, we just got another leak in our 67 00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:21.319 master bathroom that we just paid thirty five thousand dollars 68 00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:24.960 for back in June to get remodeled. And this is 69 00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:28.120 not the first leak again after that, it's the second leak. 70 00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:31.800 And I'm out for blood. I'm out of blood. I mean, 71 00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:34.879 I'm so livid right now. And these guys are. 72 00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:36.919 Like, oh, yeah, well, we'll. 73 00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:39.439 Come out on Wednesday or Thursday and take a wait 74 00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:42.080 a minute, I'm like, no, you will get your happy 75 00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:45.759 little butt out here tomorrow right and you will bling 76 00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:49.039 with you a plumber. You will bring with you a 77 00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:52.319 drywall expert because you are going to tear down my 78 00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:56.599 drywall and you are going to fix this right now. 79 00:03:56.800 --> 00:04:00.360 Oh man, so twice now, this is the twice after 80 00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:03.120 they've renovated it. Why said I've had to call him 81 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:03.599 back out. 82 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:06.039 We're all going through I'm going through hard drive issues. 83 00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:09.479 You're going through that. That's going through no heat. This 84 00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:11.439 is I thought twenty twenty five was supposed to be 85 00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:13.800 a fresh start. It really hasn't started out that right 86 00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:15.039 at all. 87 00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:15.360 No. 88 00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:18.240 No, the reason that I got you to step in 89 00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:21.519 and I gave him the wrong time because I forgot 90 00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:24.519 that he was in Vegas. We've got a mutual friend 91 00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:26.279 of ours that I know you haven't talked to in 92 00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:29.120 decades that was going to be able to come on 93 00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:31.560 the show and talk about what he's doing in Vegas 94 00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:33.399 at the Consumer Electronics Show. 95 00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:36.040 I mean, I got a couple ideas, but I have Yeah, 96 00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:38.600 I don't know for sure, but I got a couple 97 00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:39.399 ideas who it might be. 98 00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:42.240 Well, the Consumer Electronics Show, of course, is week in 99 00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:44.839 Vegas has been huge. They kicked off with all kinds 100 00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:49.120 of announcements. We interviewed Patrick Pennett, who is a senior 101 00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:53.480 director Industry and Policy Communications to the Consumer Technology Association. 102 00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:55.360 He'll be on the show a little later and it'll 103 00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:57.800 be talking about some of the things that we're expecting 104 00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:01.000 this year. I had no idea that last year during 105 00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:06.600 CEES they had crews walking around the show floors doing videos, 106 00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:10.439 short form videos for YouTube, short form videos for you know, 107 00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:13.240 other social media, highlighting some of the stuff that they 108 00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:17.120 were showing. And one of them I had never never 109 00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:19.600 heard about, the Mobian, and I don't know if you've 110 00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:22.759 heard of Mobian. Mobian is a vehicle from I believe 111 00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:26.839 it was Hyundai and you say, you're You're sitting there 112 00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:29.959 in your car and you decide, oh, I need to 113 00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:33.399 get closer to that curb. All four wheels will turn 114 00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:38.279 and allow you to go sideways. Yeah, or maybe you're 115 00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:39.040 at a You. 116 00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:40.800 Ever done an aftermarket thing? 117 00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:44.399 No, it's it's the this mobian vehicle that you got 118 00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:48.480 to see the video. It's available online but from CS 119 00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:51.399 and so Manton like, have you ever done this where 120 00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:53.519 you pull up somewhere and you gotta grab a ticket, 121 00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:57.120 you know, and the gate arm comes up. I'm an idiot. 122 00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:00.680 I always pull up so too far away. So imagine this, 123 00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:02.800 rather than having to back up and then get closer, 124 00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:04.879 get out of your car and grab the ticket, just 125 00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:08.000 move all the four tires and it slides over. And 126 00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:09.879 I mean it's it's innovation. 127 00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:14.360 Cars are just getting they're getting way. They're not even 128 00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:16.560 cars anymore. You can't even call them a car. It's 129 00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:17.879 a mobile computer. 130 00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:21.240 Jim Barry, who has been on the show many times, 131 00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:23.439 no longer with us, he passed away some years ago, 132 00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:26.839 would come to Tucson and do what they call the 133 00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:30.079 CES Tour. After the show ends, they would come in 134 00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:35.000 and bring gadgets and gear and Jim was phenomenal and 135 00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:38.639 would show things, and he talked about how the evolution 136 00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:42.079 of the cees had turned into a car show. He said, 137 00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:44.000 there's there's a I think it was the West wing 138 00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:48.639 of the show. Nothing but cars and the technology in 139 00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:51.720 our vehicles. And we've talked a lot about your Tesla. 140 00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:55.680 We've talked a lot about the technologies of ev and 141 00:06:55.800 --> 00:07:02.000 now it's hybrid vehicles. It's entertainment inside your vehicles. It's illumination. 142 00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:05.000 This mobion. One thing it can do is say somebody 143 00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:07.439 wants to walk in front of your car, it can 144 00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:13.399 actually put a crosswalk down for them. It can project 145 00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:14.279 a crosslock. 146 00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:16.959 That's kind of cool. I'll definitely check that out because 147 00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:19.439 I've not heard of that. But I got to say, 148 00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:23.959 you know, speaking of smart vehicles, I had something happened 149 00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:29.399 to me yesterday that was amazing.

Up to one thousand dollars 155 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:45.839 which means they have to buy the top of the 156 00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:49.199 line to get the thousand dollars right.

So we were able to bring in 191 00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:00.919 not only Sean to find out if he is a 192 00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:05.039 member of the HOA in his community, but also a 193 00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:07.440 buddy of ours that I know you have not seen 194 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:13.320 justin in a long time. Who has Who is an 195 00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:19.000 Emmy Award winning videographer, producer, writer. We've worked together in 196 00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:24.639 radio over at Lotus Broadcasting here in Tucson. Paul Sanchez 197 00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:26.720 is with us on my Paul, how you doing that 198 00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:27.360 is god? 199 00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:27.799 Paul? 200 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:28.440 Wow? 201 00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:33.679 No, right, yes, yeah, I'm okay. I'm not seeing myself 202 00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:35.279 in the little monitor here. Man. 203 00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:38.720 It's been it's been forever. It's great to see you 204 00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:42.120 and you are at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. 205 00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:45.240 I am at CS this year. I got media credentials, 206 00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:49.159 so I was starting early last night at ce S unveiled. 207 00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:53.720 Of course, my focus has been keyboards, mechanical keyboards specifically. 208 00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:56.759 I think that's it's something that I think we're on 209 00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:00.799 the verge of seeing a big, big and use. I 210 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:02.440 mean a lot of people are in my office use 211 00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:05.720 them now. It's it's cut down on a lot of 212 00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:07.600 like Carpal Tunnel's syndrome. 213 00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:11.000 So basically yeah, so, I mean our our other co host, 214 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:13.840 Matt he just was raving about his mechanical keyboard he 215 00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:14.720 got for Christmas? 216 00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:18.159 What kind did he gets? 217 00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:19.879 What was that? What was that? Sean, you're the you're 218 00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:21.159 the Sewan? You remember that one? 219 00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:24.519 I don't remember now what he said, put you. 220 00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:26.519 On the spot? No, I don't remember. 221 00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:28.159 It was something it was like it was only like 222 00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:28.720 a ninety nine. 223 00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:29.519 It was. 224 00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:37.600 Yeah, Yeah, they've got a booth here that they were 225 00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:39.480 not unveiled, but they've got a booth here that I'm 226 00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:41.799 going to be That's that's that's one of the primary booths. 227 00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:43.639 I definitely got to hit up tomorrow because that's when 228 00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.320 you show the floor opens for all the exhibits. 229 00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:48.759 Now, did do you do showstoppers as well? 230 00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:49.279 Uh? 231 00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:51.639 That's a Steve Leon exhibit that that thing is really 232 00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:52.159 good as well. 233 00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:55.960 I did not do showstoppers. I was more focused on 234 00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:59.399 getting to unveil than making sure that I covered the 235 00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:02.000 auto key, which of course I don't know if he's seen. 236 00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:03.440 The that is amazing. 237 00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:10.519 Oh, it's just an incredible thing where it really it 238 00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:13.679 really focuses on the health aspects of people that have 239 00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:19.240 like issues with you know, rotation and extension and stuff 240 00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:22.000 like that. Basically, for those who don't know, the story 241 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:25.039 of this guy named what was his name? His real 242 00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:27.399 name is Christian, but he goes by Ryan, right, Ryan, 243 00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:29.639 He was by Ryan. He's in the Philippines, I believe, 244 00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:33.480 and he basically had a shoulder injury from boxing, and 245 00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:36.240 what he wanted to do was to create a device 246 00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:38.399 that limited its range of motion where he could just 247 00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:41.360 keep his arms in one spot. So basically, with the 248 00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:44.519 health of AI, he created a keyboard. It's a full 249 00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:46.679 one hundred and sixteen key layout. And then when you 250 00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:48.960 lift your palms up in a certain direction, it's very 251 00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:51.360 hard to it's very hard to learn, by the way, 252 00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:53.200 when you lift your palms up in a certain direction, 253 00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:57.039 the full keyboard slides back. You get your ten pad 254 00:11:57.039 --> 00:11:58.519 on your left side and you get a track pad 255 00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:01.279 on the right side. So basically, Wow, it's it's just 256 00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:04.519 an incredible piece of machinery and uh, you know Ryan 257 00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:06.879 knocked out of the park. It's it's just a no. 258 00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:10.080 Is this part of the thoughkhouse brand, which is what 259 00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:12.360 th h O C K H A U s. 260 00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:16.639 Yes, basically it's it's it's me myself and I starting 261 00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:19.600 this whole blog, this whole coverage of everything when it 262 00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:23.000 comes to mechanical keyboards from not just like the keyboards themselves, 263 00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:27.519 with the switches, the key caps, everything that goes into 264 00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:29.879 building a mechanical keyboard. That is, that is what we're 265 00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:33.039 here covering, and that's what we're doing for as of January. First. 266 00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:35.600 Now, I've had some people who have asked me that 267 00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:38.440 to have Parkinson's that are dealing with that where you 268 00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:41.840 have the shakes, that sometimes operating a keyboard could be 269 00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:45.600 a little more difficult than maybe a standard user, especially 270 00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:47.960 with mice, and we've seen you know, mice on the 271 00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:51.399 market where the hand rest on the mouse instead so 272 00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:54.559 it's not moving all over. Can these keyboards have that 273 00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:57.799 same kind of health function geared to maybe helping somebody 274 00:12:57.840 --> 00:12:59.399 who is dealing with something like this. 275 00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:02.200 I believe so you wouldn't want to go with the 276 00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:05.840 Hall effect magnetic switch because those kinds of keyboards. For example, 277 00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:07.759 I've got one right here. This is a mel Geek 278 00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:10.559 you made eighty four water. It's a very limited board 279 00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:13.039 now because they just did the elements they based off 280 00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:15.440 the based off the Fifth Element movie, so they made 281 00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:17.080 all the different elements. 282 00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:18.480 Wow, it's nice. 283 00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:20.960 And and it's a it's a Hall Effect. It's a 284 00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:23.799 magnetic switch. So basically you you hold it up higher. 285 00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:23.919 Op. 286 00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:29.080 Yeah, yeah, there got ye, I got a voice for 287 00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:32.240 I got a face for radio anyway, So basically, uh, 288 00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:35.159 these switches in this board are magnetic based, which means 289 00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:38.679 you barely push it and it's registering a keystroke. So 290 00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:41.600 someone with Parkinson's probably wouldn't want to have a magnetic 291 00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:44.440 switch hall effect keyboard. They would probably want to go 292 00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:48.000 with the standard you know, standard switch like this, drop this. 293 00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:50.600 Drop there, you go, look at that. That's nice. 294 00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:53.399 Yeah, this is great. It's got it's got ceramic key 295 00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:55.759 caps on it as well, which is very soft. It's 296 00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:56.320 very nice. 297 00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:56.600 Touch. 298 00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:59.440 It stays cool no matter what it's it's cool to 299 00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:01.519 the touch. You can do well in this thing for hours. 300 00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:04.519 It stays cool. I can't stay enough about serahc. 301 00:14:04.559 --> 00:14:09.159 It is amazing. I gotta say how mechanical keyboards have 302 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:12.480 made such a major comeback. I mean, we started with 303 00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:15.200 mechanical keyboards back in you know, the seventies and eighties, 304 00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:19.240 and then everybody went to you know, digital all the 305 00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:22.320 membrane stuff. Yeah, and then it's like and then mechanical 306 00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:25.879 keyboards kind of became that niche market for like video 307 00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:30.440 gamers and people that wanted that tactile feedback. But now 308 00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:33.159 what you're helping to do, Paul, is just kind of 309 00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:35.919 help open up that space and say, look, there's there's 310 00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:40.159 so many more use cases for mechanical keyboards with great style. 311 00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:43.200 Yes. And Epomaker the one of the brands of CS 312 00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:45.759 unveiled last night because they rolled out of new magneticsm 313 00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:49.440 new magnetic switch that's better than the standard halifect switch 314 00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:51.320 that you're seeing in like the Mad eighty four that 315 00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:54.759 I showed you. Their magnetic switch has a has a 316 00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:57.639 very low act like a like an actuation rate where 317 00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:01.000 it's like it's almost way sensitive. It's almost way sensitive. 318 00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:04.399 It's perfect for gamers. But while I was there discussing, 319 00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:08.279 you know, their their new switches, they clearly see a 320 00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:11.720 need for these keyboards in the office workspace. They've been 321 00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:14.440 they that was one of their their selling points. View 322 00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:16.039 is like you could take this into the office. As 323 00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:17.679 a matter of fact, we encourage people to take this 324 00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:19.879 in the office. They had a lot of they had 325 00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:22.519 a lot of the one hundred percent full key one 326 00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:25.799 hundred and six hundred and fourteen key layout keyboards there 327 00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:30.519 and they were really pushing the office aspect of mechanical keyboards. 328 00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:34.000 Take this to the office, your life will change. And again, 329 00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:35.919 I've got a lot of coworkers who are using these 330 00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:38.159 things now that I brought them into the workplace. They 331 00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:41.240 say these things are amazing and I can't I can't 332 00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:41.600 agree more. 333 00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:44.879 Do you find that people will use some of these 334 00:15:44.919 --> 00:15:48.919 keyboards as a as a tie on to their mobile device? 335 00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:52.840 So somebody got a laptop. Okay, let's face it, laptops 336 00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:55.559 don't have the greatest keyboards. There are some that have, 337 00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:58.399 but so they're just you know, push that aside and 338 00:15:58.519 --> 00:15:59.279 use that instead. 339 00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.159 I have I I have a laptop and I just 340 00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:06.200 use mechanical keyboard with it. I haven't seen anyone using 341 00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:11.159 like a mobile device like a man phone, but I 342 00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:14.879 have seen people using them with tablets too, Like there 343 00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:18.440 are tablet size mechanical keyboards that are out in the market. 344 00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:21.879 I have not you know, tested those yet, but I 345 00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:27.600 have seen people using like the sixty sixty keyboards that 346 00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:30.399 are just you know, like there's no function keys, there's 347 00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:33.799 no ten keys, it's just your quirity and then your 348 00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:37.440 numbers at the top. Very small keyboards that I've seen 349 00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:39.120 people using with tablets. 350 00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:42.799 Wow, now you're at CS. I mean it's the biggest 351 00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:47.279 tech gathering you know. Ever, let's face it, your heart, 352 00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:50.879 you're a great videographer, you know, like Sean has works 353 00:16:50.919 --> 00:16:54.519 in for the Notre Dame doing O their video stuff. 354 00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:57.799 Do you kind of still look at some of that 355 00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:00.159 stuff that's going on you want to you know, oh 356 00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:02.399 I want that camera system or I want this one. 357 00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:03.919 I know Red's got a brand new one too. 358 00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:07.039 Oh easily. It's it's it's like I'm here on work, 359 00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:09.680 I'm here to cover the keyboards, but I find myself, 360 00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:13.079 you know, just glancing over and seeing there's any any 361 00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:15.359 kind of technology that catches my eye, whether it be 362 00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:20.440 a camera system or you know, PCs.
