welcome to my unboxing and first look at the elite gon helion which I have been
informed is not you know okay okay here
so on their site they actually explain that LE Jen they explain what Le means
which I hopefully all of you know and if you don't then I don't know you can stop
watching now I suppose no no no I don't reject any viewers I want anyone who
wants to learn about the hel on Mouse to be watching this video uh so Elite means
you know you're like Elite and then Egon
like Legion like a you know army or something so they're like yeah that's where the name came from it's like leite
and Legion together and I was like oh well this mouse is called the helion so
it's probably like hell and like lions like together and that's probably what
it is and then I was informed that it's an RTS Mouse so what they're probably
talking about is the helon unit in Starcraft so there you go I got told and
there's a cool little logo on the side where you can see the mouse inside um
Legion is sort of a new player in this whole peripheral game but they seem to
be doing some interesting stuff so we checked out the El druin before which
was which is actually Diesel's using it about half and half now with his old
mouse so he's seeing if he can make the switch it's hard to change mice because
there's so many different things that affect whether you like a new mouse or
not but the fact that he's legitimately considering changing it out is uh is
pretty strong uh that's a pretty strong statement so I was I was pretty
impressed they're serious about building high-end products which is cool unlike
sort of some of the other guys so they're using uh an aago 9500 laser
mouse sensor made in Japan rron micro switches they actually have a Cherry MX
Blue switch for the attack button it does have a dedicated attack button
which um is in line with the RTS sort of
roots of this particular great packaging look at this packaging sorry I'm not
actually done with this yet four custom profile sets six fully rable hot Keys
customizable 16.8 million color LED and
I think pretty much 80 Megs of hard disk space system requirement what kind of
driver does this thing have okay oh it looks cool I'll give it that so Mouse
Okay so labels DPI adjustments so 100
DPI is blue 800 DPI is green 6 wow seven
different settings for dpis at least and you can change the colors depending
which one you're using race switching can be done with different profiles so
the default is red two Teran is blue Zerg is purple protos is yellow custom
is green so that's that's kind of cool as well so yeah it's definitely um
definitely optimized for Diablo and other RTS games like that wouldn't it be
funny if I made mistakes like that I was just kidding by the way but wouldn't
that be hilarious if I actually didn't know gaming to the point where I didn't
know what an RTS was and I was trying to do unboxings for products that are
optimized for them I mean I didn't know that the helion's a unit in StarCraft I
don't think it was unit in Starcraft 1 so
bam okay it comes with this is something that I do like to see it actually comes
with replacements for the slippy pads on the bottom of the mouse so oh 3M wow see
it's all about the baller stuff with these guys Omron switches 3M mouse pad
feet and all that kind of stuff so here we go it's an ambidextrous Mouse and
here is the braided cord so it's a goldplated cord although it should be
noted that the gold plating here doesn't do anything the important thing is the
gold plating on the inside you got that diesel I don't know if he's got that he
says no it's okay uh braided cord so
it's not going to sort of catch on anything and it's not going to have
problems I've actually had one of my braided cords fall apart not that long
ago but this one seems like it wouldn't pop out of the side I had one that where
the cord just popped right out of the braiding so that was sort of disappointing it wasn't Elite gin Mouse
uh by the way so on the bottom here we're selecting
different profiles for the mouse with a dial that's sort of an interesting
interface so there's that default Teran Zerg protos custom and yeah it works
pretty much like that is there another way to do this no okay you flip the mouse over you turn the dial and then
you're in the actual profile that you want to be in so you don't it's not tied
to a software switch which is sort of unique aha there it is Cherry MX Blue
attack button so that's a dedicated a although I've no is the fact that you
can probably reprogram that to something else if you want it has a pretty unique sound CU it is an MX
Blue see that so it actually yeah has
like some pretty serious clickiness to it you've also got a couple more
programmable keys so there's one here one here there's your middle click left
click right click and I'm trying to figure out if these
are related to Something in any way but it would actually appear not let's go
ahead and plug it in and have a look at what the lighting Zones look like
watching the video listenting to lus
sing okay well that explains what all this is so there's just lighting that
shows through here at the bum of the mouse here on the logo here on the top
and here and here on the side so you can change those colors to pretty much
whatever you see fit so I want to close
by showing you guys how we actually Chang the dial on the bottom and how
affects the color so you can actually see slightly through the hole there what
goes on but here we go blue purple
yellow other more different blue oh we should have had like green instead of
another more different blue well that pretty much wraps it up thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Legion
