It looks like a serious product like that instrument thing the other day with the Japanese writing this one positions itself kind of has a real product, but immediately look at it and you're like, What exactly is going on there?

Why would you want an integrated keyboard with a smartphone?

I think I messaged you will.

We got to get our hands on this thing.

Maybe it's gonna blow me away.

Maybe it's just what I'm looking for.

I doubt it, but it's possible.

That's why we make these videos.

It's called the Evil Type from Tech 21.

It is a keyboard case for your pixel.

Three.

Excel, almost like laptops.

Status.

Wireless, NFC Connection.

We got a silica gel jack.

That's been a minute.

It's actually kind of a nice material.

It za soft.

What is it a minute kind of thing going on?

It's Chunk.

You know that is a big That's a commitment right there.

Pop it open and this is Wow.

That's actually that keyboard is a bit bigger than I expected it to be.

Of course, the Pixel three Excel.

It's a big phone.

It's touch base.

You're just tapping on top of where the key is so it's not particularly satisfying.

Let's see how the phone fits in.

Okay, so I have a pixel three Excel.

Now you're committed to that situation forever.

The way this piece flaps off, it keeps part of it.

We have glued to the case portion a little less satisfying clicking on these buttons versus the actual phones buttons.

But see, how does this thing work specifically, that right, Right like that.

You could have an angle there.

They're all the way to their basically.

It's like a tiny little laptop at that point.

So let's power it up.

When you hit the power button on here, it launches you to the Google Play store.

And but then it says the evil type case unreleased.

And then it says you've got early access to that.

Did they send us this, or do we buy this?

Well, they sent.

This is so this is not available yet.

Let's keep in mind.

This thing doesn't officially come out to the spring, so that probably indicate why the setup process is a little bit bizarre right now.

But anyway, at least I have Yeah.

Let me open it up and see what happens.

Switch it on.

Okay.

Oh, wow.

That's actually pretty easy to do.

Start typing now, Evo.

Tiny.

Oh, wow.

All right, Huh?

Quick brown box.

Who?

That does not look good right now.

You really have to hammer these keys.

Look.

Att Tthe e my line there.

The quick brown fox.

No space jumped.

No.

You over the easy dawg talk.

You have to really hammer it.

It's not worth it.

Look, look up here in Miss the space.

The space bar in particular, You have to hammer it.

Since this is an evaluation unit, the product is not out at retail.

Possibly this improves via software, but it's not very promising right now.

On box there, P.

You know where I really think this thing actually has Some function is as a stand.

So that's almost upright, actually.

Kind of sticks.

They're reasonably well, you can see even if it gets wobbled around a little bit.

And then the various angles in between there.

Now, if you're sitting at a table, this one actually works kind of well, because it's facing mostly upright.

It's actually quite an angle.

That's on there.

And, of course, I guess with any flip case in general is gonna protect the screen when you close it.

So you've got this situation.

I guess it's very protected.

What's the elastic band for?

Well oh, just to keep this closed.

Yeah.

All right.

That's your travel package.

Ready there, ladies and gentlemen.

I mean, it's a cool enough thing for me to make a video on it.

I mean, the typing experience is not better than the actual phone as it stands out of the box.

For me, it's more of a headache than anything else.

Like it's definitely not is definitely not a substitute for typing on display.

In fact, it's it's less satisfying than you're asking yourself.

Why am I adding this accessory in the first place?

Okay, Will wants to talk.

Come and say that you won't put your face buying those words.

What will's telling me right now?

Is that really what's compelling years?

Not necessarily the keyboard, which I mean, how can it?

It's kind of the whole purpose here, but it's the way that it connects and interact.

So is using NFC.

The phone is powering the keyboard.

I mean, There's no no charge port on the keyboard so that he's right.

That is cool as far as accessories are concerned.

But unfortunately, this particular implementation is lacking.

I don't know what kind of version of this would change that for me, some tactile feedback or maybe something that's just a bit more sensitive.

If they can tweet that, I really don't see it right now.

This is not the case for me.

Maybe it goes somewhere one day, but as of right now, you're better off type it on your own screen and having a way less chunky case.

I'm just I'm just keeping it real for you guys.

I'm just being honest.
