00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:16,039
welcome to my unboxing of the rockat kova this is designed in Germany you

2
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,880
know the Germans always make good

3
00:00:16,039 --> 00:00:23,640
stuff anyway so this is an optical gaming

4
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,920
mouse it's featuring ambidextrous design

5
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:28,960
which means you can use it with your left or your right hand it has easy

6
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:33,160
configuration because it is driverless personally I always prefer driverless

7
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:37,239
mice because that means that you don't have to install some bloated application

8
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:41,239
just to use your mouse you might have to install some bloed application in order

9
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:45,399
to actually configure it I haven't used a rockat mouse before so this will be my

10
00:00:43,039 --> 00:00:48,480
first one but once you've done that you go ahead you plug it into any system

11
00:00:47,039 --> 00:00:51,920
from there and it stores all the settings on the mouse itself so let's

12
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:55,520
see what they have to say for themselves customizable light system very cool I'm

13
00:00:53,680 --> 00:01:00,800
a big fan of customizable light system you can change the color easy handling

14
00:00:58,039 --> 00:01:05,360
not sure what they mean by that but but uh oh okay non-slip stabilization

15
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,400
surface okay driverless configuration we've already talked about that enhanced

16
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:14,680
Optical sensor they're saying this is a prooptical sensor grip Tech side area

17
00:01:11,479 --> 00:01:16,360
and a vshape here you can see they allow

18
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:19,479
you to customize the lights have your mouse illuminated in your favorite color

19
00:01:17,799 --> 00:01:23,000
they show a whole little Rainbow there very very cool all right moving around

20
00:01:21,320 --> 00:01:28,560
to the other side great packaging I love the way they do their

21
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:31,280
packaging kova is part of the rockat

22
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:35,520
sdms organ iiz your gaming Zone in a space saving and neat way as part of the

23
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:41,240
smart desktop management system the kova integrates perfectly with the gaming

24
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:44,399
peripherals on your desktop all right

25
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:47,119
then let's open it up shall we so I have

26
00:01:44,399 --> 00:01:52,960
my handy dandy unboxing knife here which I will use to open the handy dandy box

27
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:57,759
slice and slice 5 plus two buttons is another

28
00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:02,200
thing that they mention on the top of the box here that is not mentioned

29
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:05,640
elsewhere and that it is ultra

30
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:08,160
light personally I always used to prefer

31
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:13,440
a bit of a heavier Mouse but then I moved over to using an aari laser for my

32
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:18,640
daily driver and uh that is a very light Mouse as well and I have now been

33
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:20,599
converted to preferring a light Mouse so

34
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:24,040
who knows this one might be quite appealing to

35
00:02:21,959 --> 00:02:28,840
me all right why don't we show the included accessories first then we'll

36
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:35,400
have a look at the kova itself so as must stand for

37
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:38,480
accessories actually probably

38
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,959
not overall very good packaging though

39
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:44,440
here's a quick installation guide important

40
00:02:42,239 --> 00:02:50,239
document cameraman is fussing up the mouse right now all right change light

41
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:54,560
effects so you can change the lights uh here oh oh interesting oh neat okay hold

42
00:02:53,360 --> 00:03:00,760
on hold on okay so connect to the computer switch hand mode so you can

43
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:03,040
change by pressing four and six so these

44
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:05,959
two side buttons while you plug it in you can change from right to left-handed

45
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:11,080
mode that's smart cool you don't actually have to go into any kind of

46
00:03:07,879 --> 00:03:13,640
driver um uh any kind of software

47
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:17,280
application okay neat so here's all the uh standard configurations for

48
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:21,760
right-handed mode all right you press four and six while it's plugged in to

49
00:03:19,319 --> 00:03:25,159
set the light effect to breathing full or no illumination so you just press

50
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:29,480
those together and you can change the lighting mode very cool all right you

51
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:32,640
can change the DPI using these buttons right here here so the one on this side

52
00:03:31,159 --> 00:03:36,120
and the one on this side that's a very smart place to have the DPI change

53
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:39,959
because normally they're located somewhere like kind of here on the mouse

54
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,959
and it's very challenging to reach that in the middle of a game like if the

55
00:03:41,439 --> 00:03:48,480
theory is that you're using different DPI for sniping or for uh standard play

56
00:03:46,519 --> 00:03:51,760
and you're changing on the Fly then you need it located somewhere much more

57
00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:56,200
convenient than that so having it somewhere like on the side where you can

58
00:03:53,280 --> 00:04:00,720
zoom in change your DPI zoom out change your DPI very very

59
00:03:58,239 --> 00:04:04,519
convenient change the breathing mode you can set the breathing mode to change

60
00:04:02,599 --> 00:04:08,319
color after one two or three breaths or holding the color after each breath by

61
00:04:06,159 --> 00:04:12,840
pressing these two buttons together and you can change your color look at that

62
00:04:10,799 --> 00:04:16,040
by pressing these buttons together change breathing mode change color so

63
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:20,680
let's have a look at the mouse itself it's got your standard USB cord on it

64
00:04:18,479 --> 00:04:25,360
nothing really to say about that it's got a little rock at logo there on the

65
00:04:22,479 --> 00:04:30,759
end of the USB okay so here's the kova branding we've got uh very very grippy

66
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:33,600
rubber surfaces here you can actually hear it

67
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:39,000
squeak there you go on the left side as

68
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:43,039
well as the right side of the mouse so that allows you to hold the mouse quite

69
00:04:41,199 --> 00:04:49,840
securely all right so I would say this is more of a claw or or like a more of a

70
00:04:47,639 --> 00:04:53,280
claw or fingertip grip style Mouse it's not really suitable for palming because

71
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:57,960
it is quite small you've got a great scroll wheel here so it can be because

72
00:04:55,479 --> 00:05:02,680
of its shape it can be easily used with the right hand or with the left hand

73
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:06,160
because you see how it has that uh that Ridge in the center so that means that

74
00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:10,000
you at the angle that you would naturally be using it is very flat

75
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:14,800
whereas most M Mouse wheels are actually flat on the top and it's an unnatural

76
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:19,000
angle to uh to come at it from okay we've got more lighting effects here as

77
00:05:16,919 --> 00:05:22,800
well as here your standard left and right Mouse click buttons are here and

78
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:26,319
here and then at the bottom we find the prooptic sensor so why don't we go ahead

79
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:31,039
and go plug it in give me just a moment here guys so here's the lighting effects

80
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:36,840
guys you can see I have it on breathing mode right now you can see the red light at the

81
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:40,800
back the red lights on the top you can change the color by clicking like this

82
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:44,919
just as they say oh wait is that the breathing mode one hold on let me see oh

83
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:50,880
yeah I think that's the breathing mode one okay so I think this must be the

84
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,880
color change one there we go there's

85
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:57,639
green change it again there's other more

86
00:05:54,560 --> 00:06:00,919
different green there's

87
00:05:57,639 --> 00:06:03,000
blue there's other more different

88
00:06:00,919 --> 00:06:08,440
blue let's see what else we got here purple does it have other more different

89
00:06:05,039 --> 00:06:11,840
purple no it goes back to blue

90
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:13,520
red very cool so the lighting is that

91
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:19,720
easy to customize I would say this is my favorite the dark green very nice

92
00:06:17,039 --> 00:06:23,680
color and uh yeah or that one actually that one's

93
00:06:22,039 --> 00:06:27,440
really good too that dark blue so there you go that is my unboxing of the Rock

94
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:31,560
at kova don't forget to subscribe to lus Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and

95
00:06:28,840 --> 00:06:31,560
other computer videos

96
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:39,080
while cameraman and I were putting the kova back in the box we found a very

97
00:06:37,039 --> 00:06:42,560
interesting thing that we missed during the unboxing so here's a little story

98
00:06:40,840 --> 00:06:49,319
about a reindeer race getting out of control and then you go in on day one

99
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:50,840
you find a lake and then on day two you

100
00:06:49,319 --> 00:06:55,400
have some scuba divers and some technicians and on day three there's

101
00:06:52,840 --> 00:07:00,879
some kind of a surveillance project exploring a subsurface Glacier on day

102
00:06:57,599 --> 00:07:02,560
four it's like a like an Ops secret Ops

103
00:07:00,879 --> 00:07:06,639
journal or something you intercept some email correspondence good job that

104
00:07:04,639 --> 00:07:14,440
sounds really interesting please handle this issue without distracting too much

105
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:16,120
attention personnel file and then I

106
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:20,879
guess we take out the personel guy o here's our contact

107
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:24,240
