WEBVTT

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

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

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

00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:20.240
very exciting product to unbox it is a blizzard license product it is made by

00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:23.240
Steel series and it comes with World of

00:00:20.240 --> 00:00:25.080
Warcraft cataclysm branding on it do you

00:00:23.240 --> 00:00:31.199
think you can guess which product it is yes it is finally the updated wow Mouse

00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:37.040
now the original wow Mouse was a fairly similar looking product but the

00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:42.039
improvements that have been made are all really cool so let's start with uh

00:00:40.360 --> 00:00:45.520
opening up we've got a little magnetic clasp here so that's what closes the

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

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

00:00:51.440 --> 00:00:57.960
information here covered in blizzard artwork of course which is always

00:00:55.640 --> 00:01:03.120
awesome all right develop four World of Warcraft players by blizzard and steel

00:01:00.199 --> 00:01:08.520
series cooperatively The cataclysm MMO gaming mouse invokes the iconic imagery

00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:12.080
of Deathwing the Destroyer leader of the black dragon flight and okay so this is

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

00:01:13.759 --> 00:01:21.000
multiplatform compatibility Mac and PC just like uh blizzards games game

00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:26.280
Library official in-game support so you can bind all 14 buttons within the game

00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:30.400
so it's built right into wow support for this mouse Advanced macros with 14 fully

00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:34.479
programmable buttons we have onboard memory to store your

00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:38.759
custom settings Advanced illumination with 16 million colors and four

00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:41.840
intensity settings very cool um the original wow Mouse had like the same

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

00:01:45.119 --> 00:01:50.880
uh linked to the Armory your custom profiles linked to the Armory so I'm

00:01:48.960 --> 00:01:55.079
guessing that's for different characters all right then let's actually have a

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

00:01:56.960 --> 00:02:04.640
the FPS that can be recorded by the mouse is 11.75 five self adjusting okay

00:02:01.520 --> 00:02:07.799
inches per second is 150 counts per inch

00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:09.399
is 90 to 5040 so the CPI seems to be

00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:14.440
quite a bit higher than the original wow Mouse acceleration true 16bit these are

00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:17.519
all very highly technical specifications I mean you got to understand steel

00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:22.800
Series has been building mice for a long time this is not a Cheesy like wow

00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:26.840
branded product that is just designed to sort of take a cheap Mouse throw a label

00:02:24.720 --> 00:02:30.519
on it and sell a bunch of mice they've actually been building gaming

00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:36.720
peripherals for as long as we've uh we've had awesome professional level

00:02:33.440 --> 00:02:39.040
peripherals so

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

00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:47.560
about on the back of the box now the software for the original wow mouse was

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

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

00:02:53.959 --> 00:03:00.360
actually use the mouse So today we're going to focus on the physical aspects

00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:04.599
of it so first of all what we have included in the package yeah cameraman

00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:07.959
couldn't care less but it's basically a little thing that tells you to download

00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:11.720
the latest drivers you know oh quick start guide wow okay we might find some

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

00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:19.239
languages to configure the mouse you launch the gaming mouse software via the

00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:22.920
start menu adjust speed and sensitivity you can program the buttons you can

00:03:20.799 --> 00:03:26.720
adjust the color intensity and pulsation effects so it does have the pulsation

00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:32.879
that the original wamos had you can choose up to 10 profiles with 14

00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:32.879
different buttons and and let me

00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:41.920
see buttons and default settings here we go so here they map out all the

00:03:39.720 --> 00:03:44.560
buttons okay well there's not a whole lot in there actually it is a quick

00:03:43.040 --> 00:03:48.599
start guide all right so let's have a look at the wild mouse itself first

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

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

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

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

00:04:10.640 --> 00:04:17.199
then finally on this side we have an

00:04:13.720 --> 00:04:20.280
additional one so that is a total of 14

00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:22.240
buttons on this mouse now personally I

00:04:20.280 --> 00:04:28.000
did not find the ergonomics of the original M wow Mouse to be quite to my

00:04:24.520 --> 00:04:30.800
liking it was more of a um more of an

00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:35.560
ambidextrous shape so it wasn't really fitted for our right hand whereas the

00:04:33.520 --> 00:04:39.800
new WoW Mouse the cataclysm Mouse actually borrows a little of the shape

00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:44.759
from my personal favorite Mouse the aari laser so you've got this same shape here

00:04:42.520 --> 00:04:50.360
to rest your two fingers on and then over on the other side the thumb buttons

00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:52.160
are actually in a much better position

00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:56.400
for someone like me to actually reach them the original wow Mouse had some of

00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:59.160
the buttons were a little bit weird like you could kind of accidentally hit one

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

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

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

00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:13.320
forward buttons and Windows and I guess the other ones are mostly intended for

00:05:11.280 --> 00:05:17.400
games use all right so the overall finish of it now this is not quite a

00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:22.000
production sample Mouse uh but this should be pretty close to what we're

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

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

00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:34.560
kind of rubberized uh grippy feeling

00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:38.120
thing okay so let's uh flip the mouse over here we find the steel series

00:05:36.400 --> 00:05:42.440
gaming grade engine as well as nice large slippy pads on the bottom of the

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

00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:51.880
very nice looking braided oh cameraman wants to see that I guess we have a very

00:05:48.960 --> 00:05:55.000
nice braided cable here so you can see that they're using a very high quality

00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:59.440
sleeving when the cameraman finishes looking at the uh gaming grade engine

00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:02.840
all right so they use a great quality C cable sleeving you can't see through

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

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

00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:16.240
goldplated USB connector at the end to

00:06:14.280 --> 00:06:22.280
make sure that you're always making good connection between The Mouse and the USB

00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:24.759
port so I'll just show you guys the

00:06:22.280 --> 00:06:29.639
couple more views of the mouse itself cuz it really does look pretty sharp so

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

00:06:31.440 --> 00:06:36.639
want to show you guys the driver configuration as well as the uh what it

00:06:34.960 --> 00:06:40.680
looks like with all the lighting effects enabled so don't forget to subscribe to
