big trend big trend in gaming mice and extra five who sponsored this video
is all in on it this is the extra fi
m42 and apparently it's
multiple extra five m42s
these mice weigh just 59 grams
and come in at anywhere from 59 to 69
depending on the color personally
cool i am liking this retro one
you got this like retro gray but with RGB lighting
all right i feel like i'm playing my john just got my
you know my tiles and just moving them around all right
there we go oh that's kind of fun they include a couple of little cute keycaps
that you can put on your keyboard cherry mx style with the cross
stem nothing special in terms of quality but at least they do have a pass-through so
light will come through them so this is interesting this is one of
the big changes since their previous
generation mouse the m42 is a symmetrical mouse and
it actually includes a second rump
so you can swap it out depending on what's more comfortable for you to do
palm or actually i mean i guess it depends whether you palm at all because some people particularly
with these symmetrical ambidextrous mice prefer to use them with more of like a
claw grip another thing they've changed is apparently there's been a big focus
on durability so in spite of the light size
it's supposed to still have strong plastics like that's something that you
can run into when you go and poke a bunch of holes in your product it
might not be strong enough but uh that and the cable are apparently
designed for optimum strength so let's have a look here what we think in terms of the
feel of the plastics actually you know what
like there's not a lot of flex there
that's pretty good especially considering how light it is
although we should of course validate
their claims with our trusty debranded scale here
so supposedly this is going to say 59 grams
let's see if they win the prize that's 63 grams
i mean the good news is that when i lift the cable up
it does reach 59 grams i mean i could just like cut the cable off of it and
then we could find out for sure i wouldn't want to like ruin a perfectly good mouse though
here why don't we whip open one of the other colors and we'll have a look at the swappable rump plate
which one next one the retro one heck yeah all right that's the one i wanted
all right here comes the retro one that looks
so bad that it's good i kind of love it
this would go perfectly with that um
that retro inspired build that Intel sent a couple of years back
so uh here can i um
can we actually plug this one in so that we can have a look at the RGB lighting
apparently you can adjust the RGB on device
and you don't require any software for it so why don't we
play around with that and see exactly how that works
there is something kind of unnerving about the juxtaposition
of modern RGB aesthetics and
old-school red and beige and tan
plastics what do you think andy i think the RGB might actually harm the
aesthetic that's like additional five holes thanks
for that of course you don't need to go you know full RGB
you can just uh you know have it be a single color
so you can have breathing wave
there's another RGB led on the bottom that shows you which cpi you're running
at you can also adjust it from 125 to 500
to 1000 hertz okay i gotta grab the blue one now
hey look it's not about the size of the knife okay
it's how you use it oh that's cool i didn't actually notice they've got their
logo on the inside and the retro one this is cool has their retro-ized logo
okay these really do not seem that different
to me i think this is the default one and then
the one that comes in the box seems to be a little bit
wider and flatter yeah there you go
so it doesn't it's not quite as perky is that really gonna change it
that substantially in terms of feel
i have my dopes
okay it's default i'm mousing
oh it does change it a lot actually
so it goes from comfortably hugging the
inside of my palm here to i kind of feel like my hand is
floating over the mouse like if i was more of a claw grip type character
i would definitely prefer this one that's kind of cool apparently they
provide the 3d files so if you wanted to you know 3d print your own design for it
and see if you can get it contoured exactly right for your own hand that is
something that you could do that's pretty cool oh that's very different okay so do i
have a gaming pc here that i can actually like play some games on
sweet sorry extra five the white one and
the black one are just not that
interesting
okay we're going we're going candy store
oh how sick
is that it's sick
dog oh my god default
highest dpi is ridiculous i mean who could possibly game like this
oh he 360 no scopes with no effort whatsoever
ah oh my gosh i can't even
point at anything to be clear guys i'm not blaming the mouse for my performance
here i have it set to like maximum sensitivity so you can see it like
as i'm walking around like there's these tiny
jittery movements that's not the sensor like
this is a pixar 3389 sensor it's fine
it's just that if my hand shakes even a
little bit it moves me all over the place oh wow
those guys really lunge at you there you know i gotta say i think my
preference for this mouse would be to not use the palm style back
i'm gonna switch over to the other one and see if i like that better because
for me i prefer my palm mice be um non-ambidextrous like
more sculpted to the hand that they're intended to be used with so let's switch
to candy store here which is also at a more reasonable sensitivity setting
yeah that's better and quite comfortable
for more of a claw type of grip oops oops i'm almost dead don't die
ladies don't die click feel is really good it's
using omron switches which basically if you're trying to make a
good feeling mouse is probably what you should be using and
does this one look cool or what i'm not saying to buy two i'm just
saying that if you got a blue one and a pink one your mouse could look like this
obviously we're gonna have it linked in the video description thanks for
