welcome to my unboxing of the rockat kova this is designed in Germany you
know the Germans always make good
stuff anyway so this is an optical gaming
mouse it's featuring ambidextrous design
which means you can use it with your left or your right hand it has easy
configuration because it is driverless personally I always prefer driverless
mice because that means that you don't have to install some bloated application
just to use your mouse you might have to install some bloed application in order
to actually configure it I haven't used a rockat mouse before so this will be my
first one but once you've done that you go ahead you plug it into any system
from there and it stores all the settings on the mouse itself so let's
see what they have to say for themselves customizable light system very cool I'm
a big fan of customizable light system you can change the color easy handling
not sure what they mean by that but but uh oh okay non-slip stabilization
surface okay driverless configuration we've already talked about that enhanced
Optical sensor they're saying this is a prooptical sensor grip Tech side area
and a vshape here you can see they allow
you to customize the lights have your mouse illuminated in your favorite color
they show a whole little Rainbow there very very cool all right moving around
to the other side great packaging I love the way they do their
packaging kova is part of the rockat
sdms organ iiz your gaming Zone in a space saving and neat way as part of the
smart desktop management system the kova integrates perfectly with the gaming
peripherals on your desktop all right
then let's open it up shall we so I have
my handy dandy unboxing knife here which I will use to open the handy dandy box
slice and slice 5 plus two buttons is another
thing that they mention on the top of the box here that is not mentioned
elsewhere and that it is ultra
light personally I always used to prefer
a bit of a heavier Mouse but then I moved over to using an aari laser for my
daily driver and uh that is a very light Mouse as well and I have now been
converted to preferring a light Mouse so
who knows this one might be quite appealing to
me all right why don't we show the included accessories first then we'll
have a look at the kova itself so as must stand for
accessories actually probably
not overall very good packaging though
here's a quick installation guide important
document cameraman is fussing up the mouse right now all right change light
effects so you can change the lights uh here oh oh interesting oh neat okay hold
on hold on okay so connect to the computer switch hand mode so you can
change by pressing four and six so these
two side buttons while you plug it in you can change from right to left-handed
mode that's smart cool you don't actually have to go into any kind of
driver um uh any kind of software
application okay neat so here's all the uh standard configurations for
right-handed mode all right you press four and six while it's plugged in to
set the light effect to breathing full or no illumination so you just press
those together and you can change the lighting mode very cool all right you
can change the DPI using these buttons right here here so the one on this side
and the one on this side that's a very smart place to have the DPI change
because normally they're located somewhere like kind of here on the mouse
and it's very challenging to reach that in the middle of a game like if the
theory is that you're using different DPI for sniping or for uh standard play
and you're changing on the Fly then you need it located somewhere much more
convenient than that so having it somewhere like on the side where you can
zoom in change your DPI zoom out change your DPI very very
convenient change the breathing mode you can set the breathing mode to change
color after one two or three breaths or holding the color after each breath by
pressing these two buttons together and you can change your color look at that
by pressing these buttons together change breathing mode change color so
let's have a look at the mouse itself it's got your standard USB cord on it
nothing really to say about that it's got a little rock at logo there on the
end of the USB okay so here's the kova branding we've got uh very very grippy
rubber surfaces here you can actually hear it
squeak there you go on the left side as
well as the right side of the mouse so that allows you to hold the mouse quite
securely all right so I would say this is more of a claw or or like a more of a
claw or fingertip grip style Mouse it's not really suitable for palming because
it is quite small you've got a great scroll wheel here so it can be because
of its shape it can be easily used with the right hand or with the left hand
because you see how it has that uh that Ridge in the center so that means that
you at the angle that you would naturally be using it is very flat
whereas most M Mouse wheels are actually flat on the top and it's an unnatural
angle to uh to come at it from okay we've got more lighting effects here as
well as here your standard left and right Mouse click buttons are here and
here and then at the bottom we find the prooptic sensor so why don't we go ahead
and go plug it in give me just a moment here guys so here's the lighting effects
guys you can see I have it on breathing mode right now you can see the red light at the
back the red lights on the top you can change the color by clicking like this
just as they say oh wait is that the breathing mode one hold on let me see oh
yeah I think that's the breathing mode one okay so I think this must be the
color change one there we go there's
green change it again there's other more
different green there's
blue there's other more different
blue let's see what else we got here purple does it have other more different
purple no it goes back to blue
red very cool so the lighting is that
easy to customize I would say this is my favorite the dark green very nice
color and uh yeah or that one actually that one's
really good too that dark blue so there you go that is my unboxing of the Rock
at kova don't forget to subscribe to lus Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and
other computer videos
while cameraman and I were putting the kova back in the box we found a very
interesting thing that we missed during the unboxing so here's a little story
about a reindeer race getting out of control and then you go in on day one
you find a lake and then on day two you
have some scuba divers and some technicians and on day three there's
some kind of a surveillance project exploring a subsurface Glacier on day
four it's like a like an Ops secret Ops
journal or something you intercept some email correspondence good job that
sounds really interesting please handle this issue without distracting too much
attention personnel file and then I
guess we take out the personel guy o here's our contact
person and then there's some analysis in the rockat
Laboratories and finally you can join the organization are you prepared to
become a Rocketeer so I have no idea what that's for But it includes an ID
card so there you
go
