1
00:00:00,719 --> 00:00:05,960
so today the cameraman's very tired and he'll be sitting in a chair and I'll be

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:09,679
standing for a change so we're doing a little bit of rule reversal but he won't

3
00:00:07,839 --> 00:00:14,000
be appearing in front of the camera and I won't be behind it today we have a

4
00:00:11,599 --> 00:00:20,240
very exciting product to unbox it is a blizzard license product it is made by

5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:23,240
Steel series and it comes with World of

6
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:25,080
Warcraft cataclysm branding on it do you

7
00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:31,199
think you can guess which product it is yes it is finally the updated wow Mouse

8
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:37,040
now the original wow Mouse was a fairly similar looking product but the

9
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:42,039
improvements that have been made are all really cool so let's start with uh

10
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:45,520
opening up we've got a little magnetic clasp here so that's what closes the

11
00:00:43,879 --> 00:00:50,120
package we've got like a cool sort of packaging on this where it's like burned

12
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:53,559
away and then you you know pull it open and you can see there's a bunch more

13
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:57,960
information here covered in blizzard artwork of course which is always

14
00:00:55,640 --> 00:01:03,120
awesome all right develop four World of Warcraft players by blizzard and steel

15
00:01:00,199 --> 00:01:08,520
series cooperatively The cataclysm MMO gaming mouse invokes the iconic imagery

16
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:12,080
of Deathwing the Destroyer leader of the black dragon flight and okay so this is

17
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:16,560
just marketing Spiel all right that's not going to tell us too much here we go

18
00:01:13,759 --> 00:01:21,000
multiplatform compatibility Mac and PC just like uh blizzards games game

19
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:26,280
Library official in-game support so you can bind all 14 buttons within the game

20
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:30,400
so it's built right into wow support for this mouse Advanced macros with 14 fully

21
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:34,479
programmable buttons we have onboard memory to store your

22
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:38,759
custom settings Advanced illumination with 16 million colors and four

23
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:41,840
intensity settings very cool um the original wow Mouse had like the same

24
00:01:40,439 --> 00:01:47,680
sort of deal where you could change the color of it and up to 10 unique profiles

25
00:01:45,119 --> 00:01:50,880
uh linked to the Armory your custom profiles linked to the Armory so I'm

26
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:55,079
guessing that's for different characters all right then let's actually have a

27
00:01:52,479 --> 00:01:58,520
look at the back of the box here and here we go so frames per second that is

28
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:04,640
the FPS that can be recorded by the mouse is 11.75 five self adjusting okay

29
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:07,799
inches per second is 150 counts per inch

30
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:09,399
is 90 to 5040 so the CPI seems to be

31
00:02:07,799 --> 00:02:14,440
quite a bit higher than the original wow Mouse acceleration true 16bit these are

32
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:17,519
all very highly technical specifications I mean you got to understand steel

33
00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:22,800
Series has been building mice for a long time this is not a Cheesy like wow

34
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:26,840
branded product that is just designed to sort of take a cheap Mouse throw a label

35
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:30,519
on it and sell a bunch of mice they've actually been building gaming

36
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:36,720
peripherals for as long as we've uh we've had awesome professional level

37
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:39,040
peripherals so

38
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:44,000
um let's see if there's anything else that I want to cover that is uh talked

39
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:47,560
about on the back of the box now the software for the original wow mouse was

40
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:51,720
pretty good and as far as I know we're using a very similar software layout but

41
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:55,920
what I'll have to do is I'll have to update you guys once I have a chance to

42
00:02:53,959 --> 00:03:00,360
actually use the mouse So today we're going to focus on the physical aspects

43
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:04,599
of it so first of all what we have included in the package yeah cameraman

44
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:07,959
couldn't care less but it's basically a little thing that tells you to download

45
00:03:05,879 --> 00:03:11,720
the latest drivers you know oh quick start guide wow okay we might find some

46
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:14,879
more info in here it's quite thick which I guess is because there's a lot of

47
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:19,239
languages to configure the mouse you launch the gaming mouse software via the

48
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:22,920
start menu adjust speed and sensitivity you can program the buttons you can

49
00:03:20,799 --> 00:03:26,720
adjust the color intensity and pulsation effects so it does have the pulsation

50
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:32,879
that the original wamos had you can choose up to 10 profiles with 14

51
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,879
different buttons and and let me

52
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:41,920
see buttons and default settings here we go so here they map out all the

53
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:44,560
buttons okay well there's not a whole lot in there actually it is a quick

54
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:48,599
start guide all right so let's have a look at the wild mouse itself first

55
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:52,400
thing is it's an MMO Mouse so it's all about buttons let's show you guys where

56
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:58,360
all of the buttons on this mouse are so we'll start on this side we have 1 2 3 4

57
00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:01,799
five buttons on the left side so I'm not going to count this one I'll count that

58
00:03:59,439 --> 00:04:13,720
as a the top button five here next we have 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 eight on the top and

59
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:17,199
then finally on this side we have an

60
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:20,280
additional one so that is a total of 14

61
00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:22,240
buttons on this mouse now personally I

62
00:04:20,280 --> 00:04:28,000
did not find the ergonomics of the original M wow Mouse to be quite to my

63
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:30,800
liking it was more of a um more of an

64
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:35,560
ambidextrous shape so it wasn't really fitted for our right hand whereas the

65
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:39,800
new WoW Mouse the cataclysm Mouse actually borrows a little of the shape

66
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:44,759
from my personal favorite Mouse the aari laser so you've got this same shape here

67
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:50,360
to rest your two fingers on and then over on the other side the thumb buttons

68
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:52,160
are actually in a much better position

69
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:56,400
for someone like me to actually reach them the original wow Mouse had some of

70
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:59,160
the buttons were a little bit weird like you could kind of accidentally hit one

71
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:03,120
when you mean to hit the other cuz they were all on kind of a a single button

72
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:07,280
and it was more like a rocker switch and I didn't really like that all that much

73
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,720
but this is a much much better layout so these are going to be your back and

74
00:05:08,199 --> 00:05:13,320
forward buttons and Windows and I guess the other ones are mostly intended for

75
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:17,400
games use all right so the overall finish of it now this is not quite a

76
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:22,000
production sample Mouse uh but this should be pretty close to what we're

77
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:26,520
expecting so it's kind of a A Worn armor look finish to the uh to the top of the

78
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:32,160
mouse and then this is final so this is a pretty much a steel series staple this

79
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:34,560
kind of rubberized uh grippy feeling

80
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:38,120
thing okay so let's uh flip the mouse over here we find the steel series

81
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:42,440
gaming grade engine as well as nice large slippy pads on the bottom of the

82
00:05:40,479 --> 00:05:47,000
mouse so it's going to take you a long time to wear those guys out uh we have a

83
00:05:45,199 --> 00:05:51,880
very nice looking braided oh cameraman wants to see that I guess we have a very

84
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:55,000
nice braided cable here so you can see that they're using a very high quality

85
00:05:53,319 --> 00:05:59,440
sleeving when the cameraman finishes looking at the uh gaming grade engine

86
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:02,840
all right so they use a great quality C cable sleeving you can't see through

87
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:07,919
that to the cord at all and then we'll have a look at sort of how long it is so

88
00:06:05,759 --> 00:06:14,280
yeah it's about wow it's actually really long cord and then we've got a

89
00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:16,240
goldplated USB connector at the end to

90
00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:22,280
make sure that you're always making good connection between The Mouse and the USB

91
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:24,759
port so I'll just show you guys the

92
00:06:22,280 --> 00:06:29,639
couple more views of the mouse itself cuz it really does look pretty sharp so

93
00:06:28,039 --> 00:06:32,680
what I want to show you guys in I guess I'll do an upcoming video on this is I

94
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:36,639
want to show you guys the driver configuration as well as the uh what it

95
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:40,680
looks like with all the lighting effects enabled so don't forget to subscribe to
