00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:13,639
welcome to my unboxing of the Rat savu this is a midsize hybrid gaming mouse

2
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:18,000
which I'm not exactly sure what hybrid means but I guess we'll get to that

3
00:00:15,719 --> 00:00:23,640
later Pro optic sensor so this is using an optical sensor not a laser sensor but

4
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:25,000
still capable of 4,000 DPI the DPI is

5
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:28,000
honestly it's more of a factor if you're running a very high resolution screen or

6
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:32,079
like a multim monitor setup than anything else um because Beyond that

7
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:37,399
really the the the accuracy of the tracking is more important than the DPI

8
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:42,039
okay button duplicator easy shift plus okay we'll figure out what that is

9
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:44,200
later customizable lighting multicolor so you can change the lighting to

10
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:48,800
whatever color you want I guess that's what the rainbow here means no sweat

11
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:53,039
side grips excellent rat driver and macro presets for games multimedia and

12
00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:57,079
apps 5 plus two buttons 12 functions via easy shift a okay that sounds kind of

13
00:00:55,160 --> 00:01:00,519
neat high quality components for solid build for long life okay Optical sensor

14
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:04,680
12 Mouse functions rat easy shift ultr light light system drivers and macros

15
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:08,520
let's go ahead and open this bad boy up because rat is starting to get a lot of

16
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:13,640
attention in North America they hadn't really been present here before but they

17
00:01:11,479 --> 00:01:19,960
are now and people are really talking about it so let's find out what all of

18
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:23,680
the fusses about Optimum midsize design

19
00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:26,320
with perfectly balanced weight I do

20
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:31,600
appreciate having adjustable weight on mice but I understand that that's not

21
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:35,920
everyone's preference and and while I okay okay I should disclaim that because

22
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:39,799
while I said I do like to have adjustable weight my actual favorite

23
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:44,000
Mouse does not have adjustable weight so my second favorite mouse ever is the G9

24
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:48,880
and I haven't tried the g9x so I don't I don't know but it's probably more of the

25
00:01:45,719 --> 00:01:50,600
same and it's good um but my favorite

26
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:54,560
Mouse is actually the steel series aari laser which is not weight adjustable so

27
00:01:53,079 --> 00:01:58,240
let's go ahead and have a look at the Aesthetics of the mouse so this is

28
00:01:56,119 --> 00:02:01,920
excellent grip material on the side here you can tell right away it's basically

29
00:02:00,039 --> 00:02:06,640
like sandpaper but not uncomfortable it's like rubber sandpaper so you'll

30
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:11,440
have what it allows is for the sweat to sit in between the uh the bumps so you

31
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:14,959
can still maintain grip on it and uh it's not absorbent at all but it should

32
00:02:13,599 --> 00:02:21,239
be pretty durable as well it doesn't feel like the kind of thing that you could just scratch off easily in terms

33
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:24,080
of mouse buttons you've got two here so there's your backs and forwards you've

34
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:28,120
got your left and right click you got your middle click and let's find out

35
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:35,040
what easy shift is this is my at ID card it should be

36
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:36,640
noted that it is not valid unless signed

37
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:41,440
and needs an authorized signature also this card is the property of rockat

38
00:02:38,239 --> 00:02:43,239
Studios misuse is a criminal offense

39
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:47,120
really this is not a valid means of payment okay this be new register your

40
00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:52,080
personal ID using this card on our website so I am going to take this and

41
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:56,720
I'm going to put this in my wallet right now because oh no my wallet's full of

42
00:02:55,159 --> 00:03:00,200
things like credit cards and identification okay I guess I'll file

43
00:02:58,599 --> 00:03:05,040
that somewhere else okay okay moving right along easy shift actually kind of

44
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:08,560
cool so what it does here these are all the default assignments however once you

45
00:03:06,599 --> 00:03:12,040
install the software you can change them so here I'm going to demo on the mouse

46
00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:18,120
itself rather than so left click right click okay this is the easy shift button

47
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:23,360
so here check this out browser forward

48
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:27,080
shift browser back okay so scroll up

49
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:29,959
scroll down shift volume up volume down

50
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:33,959
so basically shift allows you to to press this and then press any of these

51
00:03:32,319 --> 00:03:37,720
other buttons for different functionality so they give you a map of

52
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:41,360
the default assignments with no driver installed but you can install the driver

53
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:44,400
and you can change everything you want they also give you some examples of what

54
00:03:42,879 --> 00:03:49,360
you might want to do and for example Counter Strike or wow or multimedia or

55
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:53,319
browser or whatever else the case may be kind of neat I think it would take a

56
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:57,400
little while to get used to but once you do you could actually effectively have

57
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:02,159
far more buttons on your mouse than you than you actually have which is sort of

58
00:03:59,879 --> 00:04:08,040
neat okay so the sensor can deliver 400 800600 or 4,000 DPI optimized tracking

59
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:10,680
that fits any style also has an ultra 2D incremental step wheel for perfect

60
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:15,400
control during weapon changes and other critical decisions let's

61
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:19,560
see yeah feels pretty solid okay I'm down high quality build ah yes more

62
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:24,479
German engineering excellent so this goes along with our theme of German

63
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:30,280
engineering in on our unboxings today which included the be quiet! dark power

64
00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:36,360
dark Power Pro power supply and my

65
00:04:32,479 --> 00:04:37,600
rabbit German engineering okay let's

66
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:42,919
have a look at the mouse itself physically so you got your slippy pads on the front and the back you got your

67
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:46,160
Optical sensor right there in terms of the size they're calling this a midsize

68
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:50,840
Mouse I'd say this is more on the smaller side I have pretty small hands

69
00:04:48,759 --> 00:04:55,160
and this is a very very comfortable size for me uh in terms of the grip I'd say

70
00:04:52,919 --> 00:04:58,800
it's somewhere between you can Palm it if you want but what you'll find is I

71
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:03,000
think your pinky will fall off a little bit so you might want want to uh claw it

72
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:05,759
and I don't think it's really suitable for fingertip although you could

73
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:10,520
probably do it cuz it's got enough of a contour here and enough of a contour here that you could probably get away

74
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:15,919
with it uh but I'd say this is more of a claw grip than anything else um in terms

75
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:20,880
of how it's most naturally used the top is is a little bit more smooth but still

76
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:25,080
grippy compared to the sides where it's more like that sandpaper finish and the

77
00:05:22,919 --> 00:05:28,759
overall Comfort is pretty good actually like I'm I'm liking it I don't quite

78
00:05:27,479 --> 00:05:33,840
like the positioning of these I wish they were a little bit lower but

79
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:37,280
um they're still once you actually put it down they're very reachable and it's

80
00:05:35,759 --> 00:05:40,479
not going to interfere with your ability to use the mouse otherwise even if

81
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:44,039
you're holding down one of them as a shift so I think that pretty much covers

82
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:48,680
it you know we should plug it in and check out the lighting effects actually

83
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:51,680
just to see I think it's Blue by default let's just plug this in there you go

84
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:56,759
actually I'm going to go turn off the light so that you can here we'll put it

85
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:59,120
next to the Corsair M60 so you can see

86
00:05:56,759 --> 00:06:03,280
what a mouse with lighting effects looks like compared to a mouse without

87
00:06:00,759 --> 00:06:06,919
lighting effects if you aren't already aware of what a mouse with lighting

88
00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:09,720
effects looks like oh it's kind of neat so in the driver you should be able to

89
00:06:08,319 --> 00:06:12,759
configure things like the colors pulsation and all that good stuff so

90
00:06:11,479 --> 00:06:16,599
