1 00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:08,099 it's rare that a device makes it into my hands that I have no idea what to expect 2 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:13,139 and the lunar artifacts pointer instrument is one such device 3 00:00:10,740 --> 00:00:19,380 lunar artifacts is not a company that I'd heard of and that's because their 4 00:00:15,059 --> 00:00:22,260 primary focus is s the ticks and I'm 5 00:00:19,380 --> 00:00:28,199 someone who's more of a practical kind of person so they're Auto Engineering 6 00:00:24,779 --> 00:00:31,500 inspired devices are not usually on my 7 00:00:28,199 --> 00:00:34,020 radar and so I am ecstatic to get my 8 00:00:31,500 --> 00:00:37,680 hands on such a premium device and when I say premium I mean premium and 9 00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:41,160 thankfully they sent us some of the other accessories I was kind of excited 10 00:00:39,540 --> 00:00:47,040 about they have a little grip attachment and they have a mouse pad 11 00:00:44,460 --> 00:00:53,460 they're beautiful full grain leather made from French calves 12 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:56,399 mouse pad uh is quite a sight to behold 13 00:00:53,460 --> 00:01:01,320 uh it's got equestrian inspired stitching uh it feels quite good 14 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:06,180 um in terms of you know just a little cushiness but not so much that it would 15 00:01:02,879 --> 00:01:09,420 interfere with your play that being said 16 00:01:06,180 --> 00:01:12,119 this is like the size of a mouse you put 17 00:01:09,420 --> 00:01:15,780 a mouse on here uh there's not much movement but again we're not worried 18 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:20,159 about performance we're worried about Aesthetics 19 00:01:17,700 --> 00:01:26,340 this looked much more premium on the website I thought it was going to be you 20 00:01:21,900 --> 00:01:29,759 know double quilted very cushy material 21 00:01:26,340 --> 00:01:32,159 cardboard you know folded or pressed to 22 00:01:29,759 --> 00:01:36,540 look much more premium than it is that's fine it looks like the mouse made it 23 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:39,920 here in one piece inside the box we have our little quick start guide 24 00:01:41,340 --> 00:01:47,700 our tasty snack for later and finally 25 00:01:44,460 --> 00:01:50,460 our three foot long type A to type c 26 00:01:47,700 --> 00:01:54,540 cable okay it's braided which is nice uh but the connectors don't look super 27 00:01:52,140 --> 00:01:58,439 premium although you can plug it in and use the mouse in a wired mode I would 28 00:01:56,700 --> 00:02:03,780 primarily just charge it and use it in one of its Wireless modes that's it for 29 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:08,340 the Box just like the mouse pad the top of the mouse comes equipped with this 30 00:02:06,180 --> 00:02:11,819 premium full grain leather it's available in this brown or black I 31 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:15,900 definitely prefer the brown I think if I'm getting a leather Mouse I want it to 32 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:19,800 be very clear from a distance that I paid for it there's a little accent 33 00:02:17,459 --> 00:02:23,640 Stitch right at the seam of the leather one of the ideas behind this mouse is 34 00:02:21,780 --> 00:02:27,000 that this is the last Mouse you'll ever buy you're gonna keep it for your entire 35 00:02:25,319 --> 00:02:30,720 life and they encourage you to use it and for the leather to build character 36 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:34,860 as your skin reacts as you scuff it as you use it the color will slightly 37 00:02:33,239 --> 00:02:40,319 change and it'll gain that like Rich deep aged leather look which I think is 38 00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:46,379 actually kind of cool what I don't love but I think a lot of people will is this 39 00:02:43,739 --> 00:02:50,099 uncoated brass bottom you can already see 40 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:53,340 it's disgusting and thankfully it's only on the bottom so I don't think you'll be 41 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:58,440 hyper aware of the Grease You're tracking on to it you might notice the 42 00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:03,480 grease on the mouse wheel that is also this uncoated brass 43 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:09,800 that's a mouse wheel it's just kind of like a dead fish that 44 00:03:06,180 --> 00:03:09,800 you're kind of like pushing up a hill 45 00:03:10,260 --> 00:03:19,620 I don't like that there's no clickiness as you scroll there's a little bit of a 46 00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:25,200 tactile feedback but it feels more like the gentle Whisper of a click in your 47 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:30,480 ear on a cool summer day that being said the shape of the mouse is quite 48 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:32,640 comfortable it fits in my hand uh very 49 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:37,800 naturally I find my pinky finger is kind of a little trapped under it's a very 50 00:03:35,340 --> 00:03:41,459 unique shape that the top is so large and the bottom is quite small like 51 00:03:39,959 --> 00:03:46,560 that's the size of one of those cheap Logitech Bluetooth mice you get for 20 52 00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:49,260 bucks from the photos which they definitely don't have any hands in their 53 00:03:47,940 --> 00:03:55,739 photos because they want to showcase the Aesthetics of the mouse it's certainly not ergonomic and I don't think that 54 00:03:53,220 --> 00:04:00,299 this would be a very comfortable Mouse to use for long periods of time but this 55 00:03:58,500 --> 00:04:03,480 mouse isn't for people that do actual work it's for people you know that order 56 00:04:01,799 --> 00:04:11,700 other people to do work you know the people we're going to eat in a couple years okay so this black thing is just 57 00:04:08,459 --> 00:04:13,799 to guard the leather and the the buttons 58 00:04:11,700 --> 00:04:17,639 these buttons are quite resistant I don't know if it's the extra stretch 59 00:04:15,180 --> 00:04:22,380 from the leather that's making it harder to press but it takes quite a bit of 60 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:27,840 force to actuate these switches and they feel quite inconsistent especially at 61 00:04:25,620 --> 00:04:32,520 the edges the way I grab my mouse my fingers end up being back here 62 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:36,240 which takes more Force but feels more consistent and there's only one other 63 00:04:34,380 --> 00:04:40,979 button which is the scroll wheel press on the bottom on the sides there's 64 00:04:38,580 --> 00:04:46,620 nothing else overall not a great button experience so this 65 00:04:43,860 --> 00:04:51,660 is kind of limiting its functionality in a lot of ways but again it's for people 66 00:04:48,900 --> 00:04:57,000 that are not planning on using this for heavy workloads while we're on the topic 67 00:04:53,580 --> 00:04:59,580 of ergonomics we also got the grip 68 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:05,280 accessory from looter artifacts that just Clips in in a kind of clever way 69 00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:07,139 it's aesthetically very non-pleasing 70 00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:13,800 especially as we have the brown leather the black kind of dark gray plastic just 71 00:05:10,919 --> 00:05:18,720 looks really out of place it's not cheap plastic but I wouldn't call it 72 00:05:15,180 --> 00:05:21,120 particularly premium feeling when I grip 73 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:27,900 it my fourth finger and my thumb naturally rest on the scoops of the grip 74 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:35,100 it widens The Stance of the mouse making it feel like a much older type 75 00:05:32,639 --> 00:05:38,400 Mouse it's actually more comfortable because I don't feel like I have to 76 00:05:36,180 --> 00:05:43,139 squeeze my hand as tight but it does accentuate this pinky kind of being 77 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:46,979 forced to cross under I don't know why they thought this was 78 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:52,080 okay they're selling this beautiful premium combo and then there's just 79 00:05:49,740 --> 00:05:55,860 cheap plastic piece that just takes away from it like I feel like this could be a 80 00:05:54,060 --> 00:05:59,400 3D printed piece that I made at home another reason I would probably take 81 00:05:57,479 --> 00:06:06,900 that piece off is that this is already exceptionally heavy Mouse The Brass 82 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:08,699 variant is 200 grams again this is not a 83 00:06:06,900 --> 00:06:14,160 functional Workhorse Mouse this is really an Aesthetics premium thing heavy 84 00:06:11,460 --> 00:06:19,199 things feel more premium you can get the aluminum variant that's a more silver 85 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:20,639 finish and that's 125 grams a lot closer 86 00:06:19,199 --> 00:06:27,300 to something that I would feel comfortable using every day without getting uh RSI what really shocks me 87 00:06:25,259 --> 00:06:33,720 about this mouse is that considering how premium it is how heavy it is they 88 00:06:29,699 --> 00:06:37,220 compromise so strongly on its specs and 89 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:40,800 sensor this mouse has the pixart Paw 90 00:06:37,220 --> 00:06:44,280 3805 sensor which doesn't show up on 91 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:46,440 Flawless sensor lists uh it's a more 92 00:06:44,280 --> 00:06:51,060 efficient sensor but when you compare its specs for specs versus some of the 93 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:57,780 higher end sensors it starts to be a little bit questionable of a choice it's 94 00:06:52,979 --> 00:07:00,720 CPI is advertised at a Max of 3 000 uh 95 00:06:57,780 --> 00:07:08,460 you know compared to the 26 000 30 000 of the Logitech and Razer high-end mice 96 00:07:02,580 --> 00:07:13,160 it's inches per second tracking is 70. 97 00:07:08,460 --> 00:07:18,120 versus the Razer Viper signature Minis 98 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:19,800 750 and a max force of 10 G's versus 75 99 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:25,800 G's that is fine for a mouse that you're 100 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:30,840 using to answer emails fill out Excel spreadsheets and abuse your workers but 101 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:35,220 that's kind of disappointing when I look at this mouse and thought it was going 102 00:07:32,340 --> 00:07:39,060 to be a no compromise Mouse it's it's honestly kind of baffling there's 50 103 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:44,280 mice that have way better sensor technology than this I have never seen 104 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:48,060 so many buttons on the bottom of a mouse they didn't put any on the side so they 105 00:07:46,199 --> 00:07:52,800 put them all here on the bottom we have our on off switch we have our wireless 106 00:07:50,220 --> 00:07:57,599 mode toggle between 2.4 gigahertz mode and Bluetooth you can also run this 107 00:07:54,599 --> 00:08:00,539 mouse in a wired mode we have our DPI 108 00:07:57,599 --> 00:08:04,680 switch although I'm not switching dpis do I have to hold it oh I do have to 109 00:08:02,940 --> 00:08:08,699 hold it what is going on this button sucks is it already jammed in 110 00:08:07,020 --> 00:08:12,300 this is the worst DPI button I've ever pressed in my life I'm not exaggerating 111 00:08:10,259 --> 00:08:16,199 it's not hyperbole this thing is like mushy and I got caught underneath 112 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:21,419 finally on the bottom we have our dongle I really appreciate a wireless dongle 113 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:25,139 spot uh even on a much lighter Mouse I think it's worth the three grams extra 114 00:08:22,979 --> 00:08:28,740 of plastic to engineer a spot for a while strangle to go so you don't lose 115 00:08:26,580 --> 00:08:33,419 it and it's just a little type a dongle you know just some pretty generic thing 116 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:35,760 besides that on the bottom we have these 117 00:08:33,419 --> 00:08:40,320 very small Glide pads that are sort of misaligned uh this Edge is kind of 118 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:45,720 coming up I doubt you'll be able to see it on the camera super well you can kind 119 00:08:42,599 --> 00:08:46,740 of see that it's imperfect there kind of 120 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:50,760 disappointing when you're getting a premium product and they haven't taken 121 00:08:48,779 --> 00:08:54,779 the time to carefully put everything on here it's not a great gliding experience 122 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:59,279 yeah part of it is that it weighs so much but it does look good on the front we 123 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:04,560 have our type c Port you can charge through that but there's also Wireless Qi charging which is a pretty neat 124 00:09:02,519 --> 00:09:08,880 feature the battery on the inside is an 850 milliamp battery which is adequate 125 00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:13,800 especially if you're planning on using the Bluetooth modes they don't advertise 126 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:18,480 a battery life in terms of hours but I imagine it's fine the Pixar 3805 is a 127 00:09:16,380 --> 00:09:21,899 pretty efficient sensor so feel so good okay I take it all back I 128 00:09:20,459 --> 00:09:27,240 love this mouse one thing I've never seen a manufacturer advertise is the 129 00:09:24,420 --> 00:09:31,140 type of connector the battery uses on the inside of the mouse and the reason 130 00:09:29,580 --> 00:09:34,680 they do that is part of the design sensibility is that this mouse is 131 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:39,360 supposed to last you forever and they've rightfully designed repairability into 132 00:09:37,260 --> 00:09:42,600 the core of this device that's why they advertise the battery connector type 133 00:09:41,399 --> 00:09:47,940 that's just a generic little battery type you can find 850 milliamp batteries 134 00:09:45,420 --> 00:09:53,640 with that connector type on AliExpress so that's great I'm very excited to open 135 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:58,380 this up check that out and also just to try it out and see how it feels after I 136 00:09:56,040 --> 00:10:01,920 tell you about our sponsor moment thanks to moment for sponsoring this video are 137 00:10:00,540 --> 00:10:06,000 you a creative looking to make sure you have the best gear to capture Eurovision 138 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:10,080 moment is here to help offering photo and video equipment for every occasion 139 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:14,459 moment works with only the best Brands such as Sony Fujifilm and Leica they 140 00:10:12,899 --> 00:10:18,480 even produce their own high quality gear so go to link below and check out 141 00:10:15,899 --> 00:10:23,100 moments carefully curated catalog of Cam gear the bottom setting is 800 DPI which 142 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:30,060 is good we go to unusual sensitivities of 1200 2000 and 3000 3000 makes sense 143 00:10:27,779 --> 00:10:36,899 that's the highest sensitivity that this sensor offers but it's usually 144 00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:39,240 increments of 400 or 800 DPI that we're 145 00:10:36,899 --> 00:10:43,019 switching and so this mouse clearly not designed for gamers or 146 00:10:41,100 --> 00:10:48,540 people that are used to gaming settings if you're using this Mouse as a work 147 00:10:45,420 --> 00:10:50,220 Mouse I think it would be decently 148 00:10:48,540 --> 00:10:54,839 adequate although I think you would get very frustrated by this scroll it has 149 00:10:52,500 --> 00:11:00,420 almost no tactile feedback and that's a bit of a bummer it also has very little 150 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:02,519 rise when put next to the buttons looks 151 00:11:00,420 --> 00:11:05,700 good not very practical the tracking seems adequate I'm using the 2.4 152 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:10,320 gigahertz mode all right I guess we'll play a game 153 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:14,579 every time I have to lift it at a bit of an angle and it reads it and so every 154 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:20,760 time I swipe it the mouse actually goes back that's not a great experience I'm 155 00:11:18,300 --> 00:11:25,740 gonna do it with this mouse pad for anything other than emails this is 156 00:11:23,279 --> 00:11:29,940 hugely inadequate in size I've heard that before I would highly 157 00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:34,920 recommend getting something larger you know like this Wan desk pad from 158 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:40,380 lttstore.com you ever seen those videos of strong men pulling trains just like 159 00:11:38,220 --> 00:11:43,320 single-handedly that's what I feel like when I'm moving this mouse I feel like 160 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:49,079 I'm just like oh oh 161 00:11:46,279 --> 00:11:53,579 God and maybe you know I'll get a really jacked right ARM I'm gonna get to one 162 00:11:51,660 --> 00:11:57,360 encounter just to make sure but there's no way this is a good gaming mouse to be 163 00:11:55,680 --> 00:11:59,899 fair to lunar artifacts they never claimed it was 164 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:08,040 I don't know if you can tell by the expression on my face but I'm not having 165 00:12:06,779 --> 00:12:13,260 a great time Forum already hurts I've been playing for like two minutes 166 00:12:11,279 --> 00:12:18,420 I just need to hit the gym more you could use this as a mouse but it's not a 167 00:12:15,839 --> 00:12:23,459 good time the tracking is fine uh the liftoff distance issue persists the 168 00:12:21,540 --> 00:12:27,480 clicking is especially frustrating because you have to put so much pressure 169 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:31,440 to get a full click in a game you don't really want that 170 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:35,220 I certainly don't this mouse is going to be exceptionally easy to pull apart I'm 171 00:12:33,540 --> 00:12:38,640 quite impressed already this piece is actually replaceable if it gets too 172 00:12:36,660 --> 00:12:43,139 damaged or if the patina becomes a gross human hand-shaped mess you know two 173 00:12:41,100 --> 00:12:47,639 fingers and a bit of palm and then the rest is all fresh baby calf skin once we 174 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:52,980 get to this level it's just these four screws wow that's a long screw all right 175 00:12:51,180 --> 00:12:57,480 we've taken off the screws this layer goes off this is exactly the type of 176 00:12:55,320 --> 00:13:03,920 battery that I found on AliExpress easily replaceable for like three 177 00:12:59,820 --> 00:13:03,920 dollars that's freaking sweet 178 00:13:05,399 --> 00:13:10,500 so far I've been quite impressed with the repairability of this but you can 179 00:13:08,579 --> 00:13:15,180 hear there's an adhesive layer to this battery that's fine to keep it secured 180 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:19,680 but there's already this little latch thing that I thought was doing an okay 181 00:13:17,639 --> 00:13:23,880 job I wasn't going to take out this little 182 00:13:21,180 --> 00:13:29,220 PCB but wow did it ever come out so easily we got our little sensor we got 183 00:13:26,279 --> 00:13:32,880 our PCB I still hate this I don't know why they thought this was an acceptable 184 00:13:30,779 --> 00:13:36,839 scroll wheel I wonder if you could easily replace it you can easily replace 185 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:40,560 these switches they're just Mouse switches you can just easily pull out 186 00:13:38,820 --> 00:13:45,060 and drop in other than that a pretty simple device we have our little 187 00:13:42,180 --> 00:13:49,860 wireless charging pad and then if you take out the dongle it's really just 188 00:13:46,740 --> 00:13:51,300 this big brass piece with molded plastic 189 00:13:49,860 --> 00:13:55,620 in the bottom that you can pop out they're selling some replacement parts 190 00:13:52,980 --> 00:14:01,139 on their site at a bit of a premium like 15 for switches uh is a lot more than 191 00:13:58,500 --> 00:14:04,139 you can find elsewhere but it's nice that they offer it and if you're the 192 00:14:02,339 --> 00:14:08,220 kind of person that is eyeing this mouse paying a little bit of a premium for 193 00:14:06,060 --> 00:14:13,079 convenience and knowing that you're getting the right parts might be worth 194 00:14:10,079 --> 00:14:15,779 it and pay a premium you shall this 195 00:14:13,079 --> 00:14:21,420 mouse costs 250 dollars that's not the most expensive Mouse out there but 196 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:23,100 considering it's not a good Mouse that's 197 00:14:21,420 --> 00:14:27,240 a lot of money I really like the leather I think the shape is fine I think 198 00:14:24,839 --> 00:14:32,240 overall quite aesthetically pleasing and if that's the priority if you're making 199 00:14:29,279 --> 00:14:36,720 this you know classically masculine workspace I think this could fit in you 200 00:14:35,220 --> 00:14:41,459 know your room has gold accents you can make this quite an attractive little 201 00:14:39,300 --> 00:14:45,959 mouse and mouse pad but if you're someone that does a lot of work at their 202 00:14:43,139 --> 00:14:50,040 desk and you are concerned with you know a 203 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:52,380 adequate performance this is not 204 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:56,639 something I can recommend to you if you think of any alternatives 205 00:14:54,000 --> 00:15:02,220 yes I'll give credit to lunar artifacts most 206 00:14:59,519 --> 00:15:06,240 mice kind of have a gamery look to them even you know office ones are starting 207 00:15:03,959 --> 00:15:10,800 to have that tendency you can get Ergo mice that are a little classier I think 208 00:15:08,220 --> 00:15:15,720 the MX Master is a fairly classy looking Mouse but it's still plastic and shiny 209 00:15:13,380 --> 00:15:20,279 metal and it's not aesthetically pleasing in the way that something as 210 00:15:18,060 --> 00:15:25,920 classy as this would be as hard as I've been on this mouse it's kind of hard to 211 00:15:22,380 --> 00:15:28,199 find aesthetically focused mice and I 212 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:32,519 know for some people that is a priority and so if that's that is a priority to 213 00:15:30,420 --> 00:15:36,899 you and you like the look of this it's an adequate Mouse it does its job it 214 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:41,519 works it connects the tracking is fine it's not a great Mouse experience but 215 00:15:40,199 --> 00:15:45,180 you're not buying this for that you're buying it for the looks 216 00:15:43,260 --> 00:15:48,420 and that's okay you know what else is okay sticking around to watch another 217 00:15:46,860 --> 00:15:53,519 ShortCircuit why not check out our Razer Viper mini signature edition Mouse 218 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:58,100 something basically the same price but in my opinion a much more impressive 219 00:15:55,199 --> 00:15:58,100 piece of technology
