WEBVTT 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 00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:13.139 and the lunar artifacts pointer instrument is one such device 00:00:10.740 --> 00:00:19.380 lunar artifacts is not a company that I'd heard of and that's because their 00:00:15.059 --> 00:00:22.260 primary focus is s the ticks and I'm 00:00:19.380 --> 00:00:28.199 someone who's more of a practical kind of person so they're Auto Engineering 00:00:24.779 --> 00:00:31.500 inspired devices are not usually on my 00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:34.020 radar and so I am ecstatic to get my 00:00:31.500 --> 00:00:37.680 hands on such a premium device and when I say premium I mean premium and 00:00:36.480 --> 00:00:41.160 thankfully they sent us some of the other accessories I was kind of excited 00:00:39.540 --> 00:00:47.040 about they have a little grip attachment and they have a mouse pad 00:00:44.460 --> 00:00:53.460 they're beautiful full grain leather made from French calves 00:00:49.800 --> 00:00:56.399 mouse pad uh is quite a sight to behold 00:00:53.460 --> 00:01:01.320 uh it's got equestrian inspired stitching uh it feels quite good 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 00:01:02.879 --> 00:01:09.420 interfere with your play that being said 00:01:06.180 --> 00:01:12.119 this is like the size of a mouse you put 00:01:09.420 --> 00:01:15.780 a mouse on here uh there's not much movement but again we're not worried 00:01:14.520 --> 00:01:20.159 about performance we're worried about Aesthetics 00:01:17.700 --> 00:01:26.340 this looked much more premium on the website I thought it was going to be you 00:01:21.900 --> 00:01:29.759 know double quilted very cushy material 00:01:26.340 --> 00:01:32.159 cardboard you know folded or pressed to 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 00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:39.920 here in one piece inside the box we have our little quick start guide 00:01:41.340 --> 00:01:47.700 our tasty snack for later and finally 00:01:44.460 --> 00:01:50.460 our three foot long type A to type c 00:01:47.700 --> 00:01:54.540 cable okay it's braided which is nice uh but the connectors don't look super 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 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 00:02:00.960 --> 00:02:08.340 the Box just like the mouse pad the top of the mouse comes equipped with this 00:02:06.180 --> 00:02:11.819 premium full grain leather it's available in this brown or black I 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 00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:19.800 be very clear from a distance that I paid for it there's a little accent 00:02:17.459 --> 00:02:23.640 Stitch right at the seam of the leather one of the ideas behind this mouse is 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 00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:30.720 life and they encourage you to use it and for the leather to build character 00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:34.860 as your skin reacts as you scuff it as you use it the color will slightly 00:02:33.239 --> 00:02:40.319 change and it'll gain that like Rich deep aged leather look which I think is 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 00:02:43.739 --> 00:02:50.099 uncoated brass bottom you can already see 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 00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:58.440 hyper aware of the Grease You're tracking on to it you might notice the 00:02:56.160 --> 00:03:03.480 grease on the mouse wheel that is also this uncoated brass 00:03:01.200 --> 00:03:09.800 that's a mouse wheel it's just kind of like a dead fish that 00:03:06.180 --> 00:03:09.800 you're kind of like pushing up a hill 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 00:03:16.920 --> 00:03:25.200 tactile feedback but it feels more like the gentle Whisper of a click in your 00:03:22.440 --> 00:03:30.480 ear on a cool summer day that being said the shape of the mouse is quite 00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:32.640 comfortable it fits in my hand uh very 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 00:03:35.340 --> 00:03:41.459 unique shape that the top is so large and the bottom is quite small like 00:03:39.959 --> 00:03:46.560 that's the size of one of those cheap Logitech Bluetooth mice you get for 20 00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:49.260 bucks from the photos which they definitely don't have any hands in their 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 00:03:53.220 --> 00:04:00.299 this would be a very comfortable Mouse to use for long periods of time but this 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 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 00:04:08.459 --> 00:04:13.799 to guard the leather and the the buttons 00:04:11.700 --> 00:04:17.639 these buttons are quite resistant I don't know if it's the extra stretch 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 00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:27.840 force to actuate these switches and they feel quite inconsistent especially at 00:04:25.620 --> 00:04:32.520 the edges the way I grab my mouse my fingers end up being back here 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:36.240 which takes more Force but feels more consistent and there's only one other 00:04:34.380 --> 00:04:40.979 button which is the scroll wheel press on the bottom on the sides there's 00:04:38.580 --> 00:04:46.620 nothing else overall not a great button experience so this 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 00:04:48.900 --> 00:04:57.000 that are not planning on using this for heavy workloads while we're on the topic 00:04:53.580 --> 00:04:59.580 of ergonomics we also got the grip 00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:05.280 accessory from looter artifacts that just Clips in in a kind of clever way 00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:07.139 it's aesthetically very non-pleasing 00:05:05.280 --> 00:05:13.800 especially as we have the brown leather the black kind of dark gray plastic just 00:05:10.919 --> 00:05:18.720 looks really out of place it's not cheap plastic but I wouldn't call it 00:05:15.180 --> 00:05:21.120 particularly premium feeling when I grip 00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:27.900 it my fourth finger and my thumb naturally rest on the scoops of the grip 00:05:25.080 --> 00:05:35.100 it widens The Stance of the mouse making it feel like a much older type 00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:38.400 Mouse it's actually more comfortable because I don't feel like I have to 00:05:36.180 --> 00:05:43.139 squeeze my hand as tight but it does accentuate this pinky kind of being 00:05:40.320 --> 00:05:46.979 forced to cross under I don't know why they thought this was 00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:52.080 okay they're selling this beautiful premium combo and then there's just 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 00:05:54.060 --> 00:05:59.400 3D printed piece that I made at home another reason I would probably take 00:05:57.479 --> 00:06:06.900 that piece off is that this is already exceptionally heavy Mouse The Brass 00:06:02.400 --> 00:06:08.699 variant is 200 grams again this is not a 00:06:06.900 --> 00:06:14.160 functional Workhorse Mouse this is really an Aesthetics premium thing heavy 00:06:11.460 --> 00:06:19.199 things feel more premium you can get the aluminum variant that's a more silver 00:06:16.080 --> 00:06:20.639 finish and that's 125 grams a lot closer 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 00:06:25.259 --> 00:06:33.720 about this mouse is that considering how premium it is how heavy it is they 00:06:29.699 --> 00:06:37.220 compromise so strongly on its specs and 00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:40.800 sensor this mouse has the pixart Paw 00:06:37.220 --> 00:06:44.280 3805 sensor which doesn't show up on 00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:46.440 Flawless sensor lists uh it's a more 00:06:44.280 --> 00:06:51.060 efficient sensor but when you compare its specs for specs versus some of the 00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:57.780 higher end sensors it starts to be a little bit questionable of a choice it's 00:06:52.979 --> 00:07:00.720 CPI is advertised at a Max of 3 000 uh 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 00:07:02.580 --> 00:07:13.160 it's inches per second tracking is 70. 00:07:08.460 --> 00:07:18.120 versus the Razer Viper signature Minis 00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:19.800 750 and a max force of 10 G's versus 75 00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:25.800 G's that is fine for a mouse that you're 00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:30.840 using to answer emails fill out Excel spreadsheets and abuse your workers but 00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:35.220 that's kind of disappointing when I look at this mouse and thought it was going 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 00:07:36.960 --> 00:07:44.280 mice that have way better sensor technology than this I have never seen 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 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 00:07:50.220 --> 00:07:57.599 mode toggle between 2.4 gigahertz mode and Bluetooth you can also run this 00:07:54.599 --> 00:08:00.539 mouse in a wired mode we have our DPI 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 00:08:02.940 --> 00:08:08.699 hold it what is going on this button sucks is it already jammed in 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 00:08:10.259 --> 00:08:16.199 it's not hyperbole this thing is like mushy and I got caught underneath 00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:21.419 finally on the bottom we have our dongle I really appreciate a wireless dongle 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 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 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 00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:35.760 besides that on the bottom we have these 00:08:33.419 --> 00:08:40.320 very small Glide pads that are sort of misaligned uh this Edge is kind of 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 00:08:42.599 --> 00:08:46.740 of see that it's imperfect there kind of 00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:50.760 disappointing when you're getting a premium product and they haven't taken 00:08:48.779 --> 00:08:54.779 the time to carefully put everything on here it's not a great gliding experience 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 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 00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:08.880 feature the battery on the inside is an 850 milliamp battery which is adequate 00:09:07.680 --> 00:09:13.800 especially if you're planning on using the Bluetooth modes they don't advertise 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 00:09:16.380 --> 00:09:21.899 pretty efficient sensor so feel so good okay I take it all back I 00:09:20.459 --> 00:09:27.240 love this mouse one thing I've never seen a manufacturer advertise is the 00:09:24.420 --> 00:09:31.140 type of connector the battery uses on the inside of the mouse and the reason 00:09:29.580 --> 00:09:34.680 they do that is part of the design sensibility is that this mouse is 00:09:32.640 --> 00:09:39.360 supposed to last you forever and they've rightfully designed repairability into 00:09:37.260 --> 00:09:42.600 the core of this device that's why they advertise the battery connector type 00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:47.940 that's just a generic little battery type you can find 850 milliamp batteries 00:09:45.420 --> 00:09:53.640 with that connector type on AliExpress so that's great I'm very excited to open 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 00:09:56.040 --> 00:10:01.920 tell you about our sponsor moment thanks to moment for sponsoring this video are 00:10:00.540 --> 00:10:06.000 you a creative looking to make sure you have the best gear to capture Eurovision 00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:10.080 moment is here to help offering photo and video equipment for every occasion 00:10:07.800 --> 00:10:14.459 moment works with only the best Brands such as Sony Fujifilm and Leica they 00:10:12.899 --> 00:10:18.480 even produce their own high quality gear so go to link below and check out 00:10:15.899 --> 00:10:23.100 moments carefully curated catalog of Cam gear the bottom setting is 800 DPI which 00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:30.060 is good we go to unusual sensitivities of 1200 2000 and 3000 3000 makes sense 00:10:27.779 --> 00:10:36.899 that's the highest sensitivity that this sensor offers but it's usually 00:10:33.560 --> 00:10:39.240 increments of 400 or 800 DPI that we're 00:10:36.899 --> 00:10:43.019 switching and so this mouse clearly not designed for gamers or 00:10:41.100 --> 00:10:48.540 people that are used to gaming settings if you're using this Mouse as a work 00:10:45.420 --> 00:10:50.220 Mouse I think it would be decently 00:10:48.540 --> 00:10:54.839 adequate although I think you would get very frustrated by this scroll it has 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 00:10:56.640 --> 00:11:02.519 rise when put next to the buttons looks 00:11:00.420 --> 00:11:05.700 good not very practical the tracking seems adequate I'm using the 2.4 00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:10.320 gigahertz mode all right I guess we'll play a game 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 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 00:11:18.300 --> 00:11:25.740 gonna do it with this mouse pad for anything other than emails this is 00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:29.940 hugely inadequate in size I've heard that before I would highly 00:11:28.680 --> 00:11:34.920 recommend getting something larger you know like this Wan desk pad from 00:11:32.040 --> 00:11:40.380 lttstore.com you ever seen those videos of strong men pulling trains just like 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 00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:49.079 I'm just like oh oh 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 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 00:11:55.680 --> 00:11:59.899 fair to lunar artifacts they never claimed it was 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 00:12:06.779 --> 00:12:13.260 a great time Forum already hurts I've been playing for like two minutes 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 00:12:15.839 --> 00:12:23.459 good time the tracking is fine uh the liftoff distance issue persists the 00:12:21.540 --> 00:12:27.480 clicking is especially frustrating because you have to put so much pressure 00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:31.440 to get a full click in a game you don't really want that 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 00:12:33.540 --> 00:12:38.640 quite impressed already this piece is actually replaceable if it gets too 00:12:36.660 --> 00:12:43.139 damaged or if the patina becomes a gross human hand-shaped mess you know two 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 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 00:12:51.180 --> 00:12:57.480 we've taken off the screws this layer goes off this is exactly the type of 00:12:55.320 --> 00:13:03.920 battery that I found on AliExpress easily replaceable for like three 00:12:59.820 --> 00:13:03.920 dollars that's freaking sweet 00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:10.500 so far I've been quite impressed with the repairability of this but you can 00:13:08.579 --> 00:13:15.180 hear there's an adhesive layer to this battery that's fine to keep it secured 00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:19.680 but there's already this little latch thing that I thought was doing an okay 00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:23.880 job I wasn't going to take out this little 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 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 00:13:30.779 --> 00:13:36.839 scroll wheel I wonder if you could easily replace it you can easily replace 00:13:35.040 --> 00:13:40.560 these switches they're just Mouse switches you can just easily pull out 00:13:38.820 --> 00:13:45.060 and drop in other than that a pretty simple device we have our little 00:13:42.180 --> 00:13:49.860 wireless charging pad and then if you take out the dongle it's really just 00:13:46.740 --> 00:13:51.300 this big brass piece with molded plastic 00:13:49.860 --> 00:13:55.620 in the bottom that you can pop out they're selling some replacement parts 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 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 00:14:02.339 --> 00:14:08.220 kind of person that is eyeing this mouse paying a little bit of a premium for 00:14:06.060 --> 00:14:13.079 convenience and knowing that you're getting the right parts might be worth 00:14:10.079 --> 00:14:15.779 it and pay a premium you shall this 00:14:13.079 --> 00:14:21.420 mouse costs 250 dollars that's not the most expensive Mouse out there but 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:23.100 considering it's not a good Mouse that's 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 00:14:24.839 --> 00:14:32.240 overall quite aesthetically pleasing and if that's the priority if you're making 00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:36.720 this you know classically masculine workspace I think this could fit in you 00:14:35.220 --> 00:14:41.459 know your room has gold accents you can make this quite an attractive little 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 00:14:43.139 --> 00:14:50.040 desk and you are concerned with you know a 00:14:46.920 --> 00:14:52.380 adequate performance this is not 00:14:50.040 --> 00:14:56.639 something I can recommend to you if you think of any alternatives 00:14:54.000 --> 00:15:02.220 yes I'll give credit to lunar artifacts most 00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:06.240 mice kind of have a gamery look to them even you know office ones are starting 00:15:03.959 --> 00:15:10.800 to have that tendency you can get Ergo mice that are a little classier I think 00:15:08.220 --> 00:15:15.720 the MX Master is a fairly classy looking Mouse but it's still plastic and shiny 00:15:13.380 --> 00:15:20.279 metal and it's not aesthetically pleasing in the way that something as 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 00:15:22.380 --> 00:15:28.199 find aesthetically focused mice and I 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 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 00:15:34.920 --> 00:15:41.519 works it connects the tracking is fine it's not a great Mouse experience but 00:15:40.199 --> 00:15:45.180 you're not buying this for that you're buying it for the looks 00:15:43.260 --> 00:15:48.420 and that's okay you know what else is okay sticking around to watch another 00:15:46.860 --> 00:15:53.519 ShortCircuit why not check out our Razer Viper mini signature edition Mouse 00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:58.100 something basically the same price but in my opinion a much more impressive 00:15:55.199 --> 00:15:58.100 piece of technology
