00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:16.039
welcome to my unboxing of the rockat kova this is designed in Germany you

00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:17.880
know the Germans always make good

00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:23.640
stuff anyway so this is an optical gaming

00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:24.920
mouse it's featuring ambidextrous design

00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:28.960
which means you can use it with your left or your right hand it has easy

00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:33.160
configuration because it is driverless personally I always prefer driverless

00:00:31.240 --> 00:00:37.239
mice because that means that you don't have to install some bloated application

00:00:35.440 --> 00:00:41.239
just to use your mouse you might have to install some bloed application in order

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

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

00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:51.920
from there and it stores all the settings on the mouse itself so let's

00:00:50.440 --> 00:00:55.520
see what they have to say for themselves customizable light system very cool I'm

00:00:53.680 --> 00:01:00.800
a big fan of customizable light system you can change the color easy handling

00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:05.360
not sure what they mean by that but but uh oh okay non-slip stabilization

00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:08.400
surface okay driverless configuration we've already talked about that enhanced

00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:14.680
Optical sensor they're saying this is a prooptical sensor grip Tech side area

00:01:11.479 --> 00:01:16.360
and a vshape here you can see they allow

00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:19.479
you to customize the lights have your mouse illuminated in your favorite color

00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:23.000
they show a whole little Rainbow there very very cool all right moving around

00:01:21.320 --> 00:01:28.560
to the other side great packaging I love the way they do their

00:01:24.600 --> 00:01:31.280
packaging kova is part of the rockat

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

00:01:33.240 --> 00:01:41.240
smart desktop management system the kova integrates perfectly with the gaming

00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:44.399
peripherals on your desktop all right

00:01:41.240 --> 00:01:47.119
then let's open it up shall we so I have

00:01:44.399 --> 00:01:52.960
my handy dandy unboxing knife here which I will use to open the handy dandy box

00:01:50.520 --> 00:01:57.759
slice and slice 5 plus two buttons is another

00:01:55.880 --> 00:02:02.200
thing that they mention on the top of the box here that is not mentioned

00:01:59.119 --> 00:02:05.640
elsewhere and that it is ultra

00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:08.160
light personally I always used to prefer

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

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

00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:20.599
converted to preferring a light Mouse so

00:02:18.640 --> 00:02:24.040
who knows this one might be quite appealing to

00:02:21.959 --> 00:02:28.840
me all right why don't we show the included accessories first then we'll

00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:35.400
have a look at the kova itself so as must stand for

00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:38.480
accessories actually probably

00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:39.959
not overall very good packaging though

00:02:38.480 --> 00:02:44.440
here's a quick installation guide important

00:02:42.239 --> 00:02:50.239
document cameraman is fussing up the mouse right now all right change light

00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:54.560
effects so you can change the lights uh here oh oh interesting oh neat okay hold

00:02:53.360 --> 00:03:00.760
on hold on okay so connect to the computer switch hand mode so you can

00:02:56.680 --> 00:03:03.040
change by pressing four and six so these

00:03:00.760 --> 00:03:05.959
two side buttons while you plug it in you can change from right to left-handed

00:03:04.480 --> 00:03:11.080
mode that's smart cool you don't actually have to go into any kind of

00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:13.640
driver um uh any kind of software

00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:17.280
application okay neat so here's all the uh standard configurations for

00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:21.760
right-handed mode all right you press four and six while it's plugged in to

00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:25.159
set the light effect to breathing full or no illumination so you just press

00:03:23.440 --> 00:03:29.480
those together and you can change the lighting mode very cool all right you

00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:32.640
can change the DPI using these buttons right here here so the one on this side

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

00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:39.959
because normally they're located somewhere like kind of here on the mouse

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

00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:48.480
theory is that you're using different DPI for sniping or for uh standard play

00:03:46.519 --> 00:03:51.760
and you're changing on the Fly then you need it located somewhere much more

00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:56.200
convenient than that so having it somewhere like on the side where you can

00:03:53.280 --> 00:04:00.720
zoom in change your DPI zoom out change your DPI very very

00:03:58.239 --> 00:04:04.519
convenient change the breathing mode you can set the breathing mode to change

00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:08.319
color after one two or three breaths or holding the color after each breath by

00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:12.840
pressing these two buttons together and you can change your color look at that

00:04:10.799 --> 00:04:16.040
by pressing these buttons together change breathing mode change color so

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

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

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

00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:33.600
rubber surfaces here you can actually hear it

00:04:33.880 --> 00:04:39.000
squeak there you go on the left side as

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

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

00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:53.280
claw or fingertip grip style Mouse it's not really suitable for palming because

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

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

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

00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:10.000
you at the angle that you would naturally be using it is very flat

00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:14.800
whereas most M Mouse wheels are actually flat on the top and it's an unnatural

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

00:05:16.919 --> 00:05:22.800
well as here your standard left and right Mouse click buttons are here and

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

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

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

00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:40.800
back the red lights on the top you can change the color by clicking like this

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

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

00:05:47.440 --> 00:05:50.880
color change one there we go there's

00:05:51.440 --> 00:05:57.639
green change it again there's other more

00:05:54.560 --> 00:06:00.919
different green there's

00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:03.000
blue there's other more different

00:06:00.919 --> 00:06:08.440
blue let's see what else we got here purple does it have other more different

00:06:05.039 --> 00:06:11.840
purple no it goes back to blue

00:06:08.440 --> 00:06:13.520
red very cool so the lighting is that

00:06:11.840 --> 00:06:19.720
easy to customize I would say this is my favorite the dark green very nice

00:06:17.039 --> 00:06:23.680
color and uh yeah or that one actually that one's

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

00:06:25.400 --> 00:06:31.560
at kova don't forget to subscribe to lus Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and

00:06:28.840 --> 00:06:31.560
other computer videos

00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:39.080
while cameraman and I were putting the kova back in the box we found a very

00:06:37.039 --> 00:06:42.560
interesting thing that we missed during the unboxing so here's a little story

00:06:40.840 --> 00:06:49.319
about a reindeer race getting out of control and then you go in on day one

00:06:45.840 --> 00:06:50.840
you find a lake and then on day two you

00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:55.400
have some scuba divers and some technicians and on day three there's

00:06:52.840 --> 00:07:00.879
some kind of a surveillance project exploring a subsurface Glacier on day

00:06:57.599 --> 00:07:02.560
four it's like a like an Ops secret Ops

00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:06.639
journal or something you intercept some email correspondence good job that

00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:14.440
sounds really interesting please handle this issue without distracting too much

00:07:10.840 --> 00:07:16.120
attention personnel file and then I

00:07:14.440 --> 00:07:20.879
guess we take out the personel guy o here's our contact

00:07:18.520 --> 00:07:24.240
person and then there's some analysis in the rockat

00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:28.080
Laboratories and finally you can join the organization are you prepared to

00:07:25.479 --> 00:07:33.680
become a Rocketeer so I have no idea what that's for But it includes an ID

00:07:30.599 --> 00:07:36.680
card so there you

00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:36.680
go
