The video is a full review of the Wooting One, which is described as a premium analog keyboard. The keyboard features the Flaretech prism switch, which senses the full range of travel as the key is pressed, allowing for analog inputs. This makes the keyboard different from regular on/off switches found in mechanical keyboards, as each key behaves more like a joystick. The video explains that the keyboard was developed to improve the gaming experience on PC, as traditional keyboards were not designed for gaming. The Wooting One aims to compete with established keyboard brands in the market by offering analog functionality.
The unboxing experience of the Wooting One is described as understated and premium, with the keyboard protected in a plain outer shipping box. The keyboard itself has a solid build and a medium mass, with no flex or strange noises when stressed. It has two adjustable rubber feet, rubber pads, cable management options, and a microUSB port. The package includes a clear protective dust cover, a braided gold-plated microUSB cable, a removal tool, and a “first aid kit” which contains spare switches.
The Flaretech prism switches used in the Wooting One are compatible with Cherry key stems, and they come in three options: red, blue, and black. The switches are hot-swappable, meaning they can be replaced on the fly without unplugging the keyboard or interfering with its operation. This feature allows users to fine-tune their experience or troubleshoot any issues with minimal downtime. The keyboard can be customized with different key caps and the top plate can be easily modified with paint or other materials.
The Wooting One functions as both a digital and analog keyboard and offers three hot-swappable profiles. It has full RGB control over individual keys, which makes it easy for users to know which profile they are using. The analog functionality of the keyboard is particularly useful for games like Star Citizen, where finer adjustments are needed for precise movements. The video highlights how the Wooting One allows for finer adjustments in ship piloting and enhances the realism of walking in the game. The reviewer concludes that the keyboard met expectations and is a great option for both gaming and typing purposes.
In the conclusion, it is mentioned that the Wooting One lives up to its promises and delivers on the features highlighted in its Kickstarter campaign. The quality of the keyboard is praised, and it is described as a visually appealing keyboard that performs well. The reviewer reassures viewers that the Wooting One is not a compromise for typing purposes and can be used as a daily keyboard. The video ends with a mention of future content focusing on setup and configuration guidelines to maximize the use of the Wooting One in Star Citizen.
