WEBVTT 00:00:00.090 --> 00:00:05.170 - When I get a new product my favorite feeling is the disdain the owner 00:00:05.170 --> 00:00:08.388 has for me just flowing out of that product. 00:00:08.388 --> 00:00:12.050 (boxes thudding) That's how I feel holding Finalmouse products. 00:00:12.050 --> 00:00:15.290 Love 'em or hate 'em, Finalmouse makes some pretty neat products 00:00:15.290 --> 00:00:18.560 in very limited batches that are highly sought-after. 00:00:18.560 --> 00:00:21.970 As far as I can tell, a lot of you hate 'em 00:00:21.970 --> 00:00:26.010 but let's get into it. I'm super excited. This is their latest special edition. 00:00:26.010 --> 00:00:29.800 It's already shipping, but if you didn't pre-order it, 00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:33.340 like every piece of electronics that exist, 00:00:33.340 --> 00:00:38.620 you're not getting this. So, today we have the Starlight small 00:00:38.620 --> 00:00:44.420 and the Starlight medium. And I think what these mice really special is the design, 00:00:44.420 --> 00:00:47.610 with all these limited editions they've been doing, these are stunning mice. 00:00:47.610 --> 00:00:51.420 Like they're works of art, in a sense. And like, they're the kind of thing 00:00:51.420 --> 00:00:54.600 that I would have trouble using. I'd almost want to put on a stand, 00:00:54.600 --> 00:01:00.060 put it in the background of a stream or something 'cause these are beautiful and, holy smokes, it's light. 00:01:00.060 --> 00:01:03.760 I knew it was light, the small is rated for 42 grams. 00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:07.010 The big one for 47. They say because of their process 00:01:07.010 --> 00:01:10.260 it could be plus minus one or two grams. 00:01:10.260 --> 00:01:14.360 Shocking how light this feels. It is nothing, it's disappearing. 00:01:14.360 --> 00:01:17.680 Like if I looked away I would assume that there's nothing in my hand. 00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:21.840 That's not true. It's still there. (laughing) Let's weigh it 'cause I need to know. 00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:26.260 So, there's nothing out there that you can get that's quite this light, but I'd say the most comparable 00:01:26.260 --> 00:01:30.980 or certainly the one they're probably going for is the Logitech G Pro X Superlight. 00:01:30.980 --> 00:01:34.570 That's my gaming mouse of choice. I think the build quality's fantastic. 00:01:34.570 --> 00:01:38.570 The accuracy, the performance, all of it is phenomenal. 00:01:38.570 --> 00:01:42.380 It's Logitech, there's issues, in terms of like double-clicking and whatnot. 00:01:42.380 --> 00:01:45.513 But they have one of the best customer service in the business. 00:01:45.513 --> 00:01:48.870 So, it's pretty easy to RMA stuff. So, this is the small. 00:01:48.870 --> 00:01:54.240 So, they say that it's 42 grams. I've seen online that it's a little bit more usually, 00:01:54.240 --> 00:01:58.000 but still 44 grams. That's wild. Just kidding. 00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:02.270 We're going for the medium, 50 grams. That's still over what they say. 00:02:02.270 --> 00:02:06.093 Honestly, to me that's a little bit disappointing. The Superlight, it's 62? 00:02:07.646 --> 00:02:12.900 62, 63. The Superlight and the medium seem to be the more closer in size. 00:02:12.900 --> 00:02:17.540 So, I would say that they're comparable. I think that the small for small hands is great. 00:02:17.540 --> 00:02:20.600 If you're like a really aggressive claw player, 00:02:20.600 --> 00:02:26.660 that might be the right fit. I'm more of a medium. I do kind of a hybrid thing where it's like not quite palm, 00:02:26.660 --> 00:02:31.500 not quite claw. And I think a lot of people do that. 'Cause I'm so excited but you'll have to wait 00:02:31.500 --> 00:02:36.530 till I talk about our sponsor, Secret Labs. Thanks to Secret Lab for sponsoring today's video. 00:02:36.530 --> 00:02:40.490 Secret Lab chairs are engineered to keep you incredibly comfortable for long hours 00:02:40.490 --> 00:02:43.700 at work and play.

Head to the link in the description below 00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:01.590 to check out Secret Lab. In terms of build quality, how they achieve getting it 00:03:01.590 --> 00:03:05.350 so small, is actually like a magnesium for the top 00:03:05.350 --> 00:03:08.690 and the bottom as well. Although the bottom one is apparently quite a bit more 00:03:08.690 --> 00:03:12.100 fragile to shave down on the weight. In terms of like what you would feel, 00:03:12.100 --> 00:03:16.140 this doesn't feel metallic. Like when I read that it was magnesium, I thought it would kind of feel cold 00:03:16.140 --> 00:03:19.280 to the touch or something. That was kind of a big controversy where they said 00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:22.820 that they invented the honeycomb mouse. They're the biggest inventors, 00:03:22.820 --> 00:03:28.390 they've done the biggest breakthrough in mouse design ever. And everyone's like, actually there's a been mice like that. 00:03:28.390 --> 00:03:32.030 I think light mice are the way to go. I think light takes less energy to move the mouse. 00:03:32.030 --> 00:03:35.420 So, your endurance is better. You can get there fast. You can be more consistent. 00:03:35.420 --> 00:03:39.500 For me, the danger of like spilling food or drink 00:03:39.500 --> 00:03:42.560 or just greasy hands, ruining my mouse. That's scary. 00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:47.020 This isn't the first Starlight mouse. This is the Phantom, which is this color scheme. 00:03:47.020 --> 00:03:50.130 And they've done a lot of different ones. They have like a Hades and Ares, like kind of god-theme ones. 00:03:50.130 --> 00:03:54.310 And they're all really beautiful, just stunning. And I think like, side by side, it'd be cool. 00:03:54.310 --> 00:03:58.860 I wish I had started collecting them, but, you know, you can only collect one thing in this day and age. 00:03:58.860 --> 00:04:02.410 And I collect the smiles of viewers watching this video. 00:04:02.410 --> 00:04:06.270 - [Jono] Pokemon cards. - Nope. (chuckles) That's expensive. (chuckles) 00:04:06.270 --> 00:04:10.050 It's got its PTFE feet. They're pretty small and it doesn't come 00:04:10.050 --> 00:04:13.920 with changes of them. It feels pretty smooth. Not as smooth as the Superlight, 00:04:13.920 --> 00:04:17.220 especially if you put the glide pad on the bottom. 00:04:17.220 --> 00:04:20.300 One thing that you'll notice is that there is no spot 00:04:20.300 --> 00:04:24.110 to remove to put the wireless receiver. I think that's a mistake. 00:04:24.110 --> 00:04:27.680 I'll take the five grams to get that spot right in there. 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:33.070 I think that every mouse that is wireless needs to have a spot to put its wireless receiver in. 00:04:33.070 --> 00:04:36.730 This is this one. And in fact, we should probably get back to unboxing all the other stuff. 00:04:36.730 --> 00:04:39.930 It's a little bit bigger than a normal one, which is nice. 00:04:39.930 --> 00:04:44.970 A little less, the chance of losing it. Remaining, what's else in the box is the receiver, 00:04:44.970 --> 00:04:49.080 the mouse and this pair cord cable. Wow, that feels fantastic. 00:04:49.080 --> 00:04:52.410 Ooh. Yeah. 00:04:52.410 --> 00:04:56.020 Oh, I feel so fancy. This is a good quality cable. 00:04:56.020 --> 00:04:59.020 Wow, I got no complaints about this, except for this. 00:04:59.020 --> 00:05:02.880 You see this? Micro USB. 00:05:02.880 --> 00:05:08.400 I understand that the connector in the mouse for micro USB is lighter than the USB Type-C one. 00:05:08.400 --> 00:05:12.020 Like I said, I'm willing to take a few grams to get Type-C. 00:05:12.020 --> 00:05:16.240 I'm so sick of anything being other than Type-C for USB. 00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:19.340 We are way past that point. Good cable, bad connector. 00:05:19.340 --> 00:05:22.360 Get it together, Finalmouse. Get it (beep) together. 00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:26.890 That's the future. Oops, I need that cable. Sorry. When these mice were first coming out 00:05:26.890 --> 00:05:31.320 there was quite a few issues of build quality. Inconsistencies where like the scroll wheel 00:05:31.320 --> 00:05:37.930 was actually kind of slightly off-centered. I wouldn't say that it's spot on, it looks a little bit leaned to the left, but it's not bad. 00:05:37.930 --> 00:05:44.260 And like I'm only looking for that 'cause I've seen that online. There was also issues of some of the pads in the mouse 00:05:44.260 --> 00:05:49.890 sliding and becoming sticky. The PCB is more secured in they've pretensioned the button 00:05:49.890 --> 00:05:54.170 so that they feel a little more clicky and light. And I say that those buttons do feel pretty good. 00:05:54.170 --> 00:05:58.700 Scroll wheel feels good. It's a little bit, I kind of think it's a little too resistant 00:05:58.700 --> 00:06:03.100 but that's a preference thing. Side buttons, those feel fine. 00:06:03.100 --> 00:06:06.240 I think they're a little bit small. I can definitely see in the heat of battle 00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:10.680 I would double press or press both. I prefer my buttons a little more spaced out 00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:15.470 than what is on this mouse. The button I really don't like is this DPI one. 00:06:15.470 --> 00:06:19.310 It's kind of just like, it feels like when you've had a controller 00:06:19.310 --> 00:06:23.990 for like seven years and you didn't realize that some juice got into the buttons, 00:06:23.990 --> 00:06:28.780 takes a couple presses before it like kind of gets soft again. 00:06:28.780 --> 00:06:32.500 A big complaint about this mouse is that there is no companion software. 00:06:32.500 --> 00:06:36.193 That's fine. You don't really need to be able to customize everything on your mouse. 00:06:36.193 --> 00:06:39.290 So, the final sensor, it's considered a flawless sensor 00:06:39.290 --> 00:06:44.500 and it's highly rated, it's well regarded. It's got sensitivity up to 20,000 DPI, 00:06:44.500 --> 00:06:48.610 but this bad boy, you only have the pre-built 00:06:48.610 --> 00:06:53.040 for sensitivity options. So, 400, 800, 1600 and 3200. 00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:56.730 That's fine for most things. For me, I always play at 800 unless a specific game 00:06:56.730 --> 00:07:01.340 requires something else. So, that's fine. But if you're someone that like really does tweak 00:07:01.340 --> 00:07:05.740 with the settings and has a weird sensitivity thing for a specific esports game that you play, 00:07:05.740 --> 00:07:09.020 just keep that in mind. You're stuck at those base settings. 00:07:09.020 --> 00:07:13.600 Battery life on this mouse is supposed to be quite excellent. They say that it's about 160 hours of use. 00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:17.220 So, they say that it's like three weeks of heavy use, seven weeks of kind of softer use, 00:07:17.220 --> 00:07:21.070 16 weeks of like idle. We are set up now, currently plugged in 00:07:21.070 --> 00:07:25.610 is the Starlight small. We had to switch our G Pro X Superlight 00:07:25.610 --> 00:07:31.960 just because the one we were having was having pairing issues. So, you'll now see that it is 100% less pride, sadly. 00:07:31.960 --> 00:07:36.410 And I've added the light foot pad version at the bottom 'cause that's what I use at home. 00:07:36.410 --> 00:07:39.730 It really does make it smoother. At least in my brain, 00:07:39.730 --> 00:07:44.530 my smooth brain. (chuckles) First impression is, wow, this is light. 00:07:44.530 --> 00:07:47.890 The small one is a little bit too small for me. I find my pinky just ends up dragging. 00:07:47.890 --> 00:07:52.979 That's not a good feeling for gaming. I want to kind of like have it part of the hold. 00:07:52.979 --> 00:07:57.300 - [Jono] You're the big spoon. - I'm, oh yeah, I'm the real big spoon. 00:07:57.300 --> 00:08:01.290 I love you, mouse. (chuckles) You know what? It's "ShortCircuit," we ain't got time for that. 00:08:01.290 --> 00:08:04.730 Small one, too small for me. Too small, 00:08:04.730 --> 00:08:07.980 mouse. So, we're actually gonna start first with the G Pro X, 00:08:07.980 --> 00:08:11.030 which is my baseline, but I don't play a lot of CS:GO. 00:08:11.030 --> 00:08:15.330 So, I need a little bit of practice to see how that feels, 00:08:15.330 --> 00:08:20.430 also to find my sense with this mouse. Okay, so this feels very comfortable to me. 00:08:20.430 --> 00:08:24.220 It's light. It's easy. It's just accurate. 00:08:24.220 --> 00:08:28.870 It's just like, it feels like an extension of my body in a good way, although I'm terrible at CS:GO. 00:08:28.870 --> 00:08:33.530 So yeah, this is feeling pretty good. Let's compare it to the Starlight. 00:08:33.530 --> 00:08:38.280 So, one thing that I don't love, little nitpick, 00:08:38.280 --> 00:08:41.653 is the power button is a little dip switch, which is fine or not. 00:08:41.653 --> 00:08:45.760 I don't know if it's a dip switch but it doesn't really have a label to which one's on or off. 00:08:45.760 --> 00:08:49.720 I don't know if it's my mouse that's dead 00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:54.030 or if I'm having the wrong thing or if this isn't working 00:08:54.030 --> 00:08:58.120 but that's not a great experience. One of the problems about not having companion software, 00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:02.760 with the launch tech, we were having trouble but we were able to fairly easily diagnose 00:09:02.760 --> 00:09:07.940 where the problem was coming from and then solve it. Here, it's just like, is it the battery that's dead? 00:09:07.940 --> 00:09:13.770 Is it the mouse receiver that's not working? 'Cause when I plug in the cable, it'll work. 00:09:13.770 --> 00:09:18.420 And so I know that everything's gonna be all right 00:09:18.420 --> 00:09:23.730 but I'm gonna cry first. There you go, it's working. So, I don't know if it just was a charge issue 00:09:23.730 --> 00:09:27.270 or what it was. Speaking of software, no RGB either. 00:09:27.270 --> 00:09:31.590 That's totally fine for me, on a gaming mouse, I would disable it 'cause I want the extra battery instead. 00:09:31.590 --> 00:09:35.760 The fact that I am reminded of the fact that I don't care that there's no RBG. 00:09:36.700 --> 00:09:41.160 The point, (chuckling) I guess it's the flex. It's the fun of it. 00:09:41.160 --> 00:09:45.010 It's the collectibility of them. And I think like that's, to me, is a big use case 00:09:45.010 --> 00:09:49.900 of this is you could buy the whole set and have a beautiful background in your stream. 00:09:49.900 --> 00:09:56.330 You could just enjoy the collecting. Maybe the resale value is good. You just buy them and then resell 'em for 25% more 00:09:56.330 --> 00:10:02.790 than you bought it for. You dirty-ass scalper. But to me, like I am not that interested in 00:10:02.790 --> 00:10:06.840 a beautiful mouse, I'm more interested in the usability, and the usability is also there. 00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:11.190 I don't know if I like it more than the G Pro X. I don't even know if I like it more than the Viper Ultimate. 00:10:11.190 --> 00:10:14.900 The accuracy is good. It's a flawless sensor and I've mostly dialed 00:10:14.900 --> 00:10:18.940 in my settings on my other mouse so I can trust that this feels pretty good. 00:10:18.940 --> 00:10:24.100 A big thing that was happening early on is that people were complaining about the DPIs they were advertising. 00:10:24.100 --> 00:10:29.540 They were actually off what they normally are. And so they've said on this revision, they've fixed it. 00:10:29.540 --> 00:10:33.150 And they've gotten it closer to what people expect when they're getting that kind of DPI. 00:10:33.150 --> 00:10:36.270 This doesn't feel as bad as, I'm guessing, what people first thought 00:10:36.270 --> 00:10:39.610 but, oh hello, oh God, that's a scout. 00:10:39.610 --> 00:10:42.983 Nope, not an op. (laughing) Oops. 00:10:42.983 --> 00:10:47.500 Would I recommend this mouse if you are a gamer that wants the best gaming mouse? 00:10:47.500 --> 00:10:51.340 Not necessarily. You might find that this ambidextrous shape is what appeals to you. 00:10:51.340 --> 00:10:56.250 You'll like the crazy lightness of it. I think the real appeal is how it looks. 00:10:56.250 --> 00:11:00.160 It's the special limited edition appeal of it. 00:11:00.160 --> 00:11:04.710 And so if that appeals to you, then this is a cool mouse. I think like the different color ways, 00:11:04.710 --> 00:11:07.720 they're pretty sick and you can wait for the next one, if you like that more. 00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:12.250 I'd really like the white version, the full white. I don't like white mice, but the detailing on the white 00:11:12.250 --> 00:11:15.640 just looks really good. The way it catches the light. This is a cool product. 00:11:15.640 --> 00:11:18.730 I'm glad it exists. It's not for me. It's probably not for you. 00:11:18.730 --> 00:11:24.766 I know people complain when we review a hundred dollar mice, this bad boy's $189 US. 00:11:24.766 --> 00:11:29.850 - [Jono] How much is the Superlight? - 150 US, I believe. But you can get a regular G Pro for like 130. 00:11:29.850 --> 00:11:33.900 You can get (chuckles) like the Viper for cheaper. 00:11:33.900 --> 00:11:37.560 You can get the SteelSeries Aerox 3 or whatever it is. 00:11:37.560 --> 00:11:41.060 That's an excellent mouse for cheap. There's lots of better options, 00:11:41.060 --> 00:11:46.050 if you're worried about a buck. If you just want the frigging most swaggiest of mice, 00:11:46.050 --> 00:11:49.990 if you're a sneakerhead equivalent of Mouse Town, 00:11:49.990 --> 00:11:53.729 this is your boy, but you won't find it. That's what I'm saying. It's like Sneaker Town, where it's like, 00:11:53.729 --> 00:11:57.460 you just gotta wait in line at the Nike store and buy this boy, boy. 00:11:57.460 --> 00:12:00.880 - [Jono] You can't even wait in line for this mouse. - I know it's over.
