1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:07,919
Sometimes an idea is so dumb it just has to work. We've looked at gun mice

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:09,760
before. Mice in the shape of guns. And

3
00:00:07,919 --> 00:00:16,080
uh you know what? I like them. But Ragnarok has released the new model, the

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:18,640
Ragnok Erggo Strike 7. And it's got some

5
00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:23,720
fancy new features that might make this the absolute best gaming mouse gun on

6
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:29,519
the whole market. Sure, that might be a little bit

7
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:36,480
niche, but it doesn't matter when it's something that's cool. And I think that

8
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:40,160
making your peripherals be more like the device that you're using in a game can

9
00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:45,360
be pretty cool. If you're using your mouse to play shooters, why not have

10
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:48,399
your mouse be a gun? Inside our box, we

11
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:51,520
have our user manual. We have some extra

12
00:00:48,399 --> 00:00:55,360
skates uh for when these wear out. We

13
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:57,360
also have a USB A to C adapter dongle,

14
00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:03,359
buddy. Uh, and then we have what looks to be a

15
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:05,680
six. How did I make a knot so quickly?

16
00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:11,600
Incredible. I should be a sailor. That's about 5 ft. But it is braided and it has

17
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:15,760
that little shielding thing. The sleing on the cable is not like tight to the

18
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:19,840
cable. It kind of like slides around. It's not a huge huge deal, but I could

19
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:22,640
see this wearing. Uh, if this got caught kind of between the wall and was

20
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:27,040
rubbing, I think it would pile pretty quick. But the quality of the cable is

21
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:34,240
fine. That's it for what's inside the box. Let's take a look at the mouse

22
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:37,920
itself. It is a lot bigger than the

23
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:40,880
previous one. This palm grip is just

24
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:46,200
massive. Holy smokes. That is a design decision. It's certainly hand griable

25
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:53,920
with all the buttons in accessible places, but I feel like it really

26
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:56,000
removes my immediate feedback to the

27
00:01:53,920 --> 00:02:01,840
desk because I'm so lifted onto this mouse. It feels like I'm like 2°

28
00:01:58,479 --> 00:02:03,200
separate from the actual table. Not the

29
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:08,879
end of the world, but I like having like a finger dragging along. Maybe that's just a personal thing. Maybe that's even

30
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:10,560
a bad thing. But what I will say is that

31
00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:17,040
it's fairly ergonomic. Like this is a very natural grip shape uh with no

32
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:19,680
breaks in my arm. The movement of the

33
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:24,000
wrist is a little uncomfortable cuz it's not quite like straight breaking like

34
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:28,879
this and it's not straight going to the side. It's kind of like at a bit of an angle because of it. But it's not too

35
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:35,680
bad. I feel like I'll end up just kind of using my full arm. In terms of grip

36
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:37,840
size, I think it's for medium to big

37
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:45,120
hands. It's not really for small hands. I don't have particularly big hands, but

38
00:02:40,959 --> 00:02:47,840
it's at the edge of what I would enjoy

39
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:52,879
wrapping my meaty fist around. That grip is like a rubberized grip. Uh you can

40
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:56,640
see that it's a little bit two-toned uh from the hard plastic here. This feels

41
00:02:55,200 --> 00:03:00,480
like the kind of rubber that will degrade really, really, really, really

42
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:05,040
fast. But it's a novelty, so it doesn't have to last uh as long. I guess you're

43
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:10,080
not pulling this out to play all your games, but it feels already a little bit

44
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:17,440
like that oily, rubbery feeling as it's degrading. Kind of not quite sticky, but

45
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:19,879
easy to gunk up. I can also see that the

46
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:25,200
different types of plastic don't line up perfectly. Uh like and it's kind of in

47
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:29,280
perfect molding, too. Uh it's going to be hard to show on camera, but here

48
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:34,400
there's like a divot that catches the light a little bit. And then one up

49
00:03:31,519 --> 00:03:37,640
here. probably can't see it. Not a huge deal. It also doesn't line up perfectly.

50
00:03:36,319 --> 00:03:42,000
It's not like it's uncomfortable. Like the back is worse

51
00:03:40,799 --> 00:03:45,680
and it's not where your fingers are going. So, it's not a huge huge deal. On

52
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:51,920
this side, we have our scroll wheel that also clicks. We have button one, two,

53
00:03:49,239 --> 00:03:54,720
three. So, three buttons on the side, four if you count the scroll wheel

54
00:03:53,200 --> 00:04:01,680
click. On the front, we have our trigger, which feels like a mouse switch

55
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:06,480
this time, not a keyboard switch. pretty clicky. Still got pretty good movement.

56
00:04:04,159 --> 00:04:11,519
I think I'd like to see it really be a trigger pull, but not so bad. Uh,

57
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:15,439
another button down here. I'm guessing that's your right click. And then on the

58
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:20,239
top, we have our settings for the recoil, as well as our little thing that

59
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:24,560
does recoil. I'm really excited to see how that feels in my hand. U,

60
00:04:22,479 --> 00:04:28,639
apparently, this is actually designed to fit the

61
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:32,880
Lego spacing. So, you can put a little Lego figurine on here if you really want

62
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:37,960
to. Not sure why other than I guess it's a spot for decor, but I don't hate it.

63
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:42,639
On the bottom, we have our skates. Uh, looks

64
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:47,040
fairly widespread. We have our sensor right at the front of the base, which is

65
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:51,440
sort of surprising. Generally, the mice sensors are pretty close to the middle,

66
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:56,720
but when you look at the whole gun mouse from front to back, it's a little closer

67
00:04:53,840 --> 00:05:02,400
to the center um than I immediately thought. So, that is about right. We

68
00:04:59,759 --> 00:05:07,600
also have our DPI button as well as our mode toggle. Uh, this is a wireless

69
00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:13,120
mouse. Um, but it can work wired through USBC on the front or via Bluetooth or

70
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:18,800
2.4 GHz dongle. Besides those switches, we have the spot for our dongle. I'm a

71
00:05:15,919 --> 00:05:22,479
big fan of having a spot on your devices for their wireless dongles just so it's

72
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:26,400
a little bit harder to lose them. Uh, and on a mouse this big and heavy, there

73
00:05:24,479 --> 00:05:33,199
is no excuse. Uh, we also have the black model here, which is, in my opinion, the

74
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:35,520
much better looking one. I also think

75
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:40,320
this rubber feels less gunky. This doesn't feel nice. That feels pretty

76
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:45,120
premium. So, you know what? This black one actually has a keyboard switch, um,

77
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:49,919
which is no longer available. Only the mouse clicky one is available. It's a

78
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:54,800
trade-off. This has much better travel, so it feels like I'm pulling a trigger more, but this has much better feedback

79
00:05:53,199 --> 00:05:58,720
in terms of the click when I hit the click. I think overall I still prefer

80
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:06,080
the mouse clicky one. Speaking of how all the buttons feel,

81
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:08,240
these I would consider like adequate.

82
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:14,160
The front back buttons are definitely okay. This button is fine. I actually

83
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:18,720
like the click on the mouse wheel a fair bit. This one is the worst one. This

84
00:06:16,319 --> 00:06:21,759
right click is really mushy. Also, it looks really uneven. Like if you press

85
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:26,120
here, it's like it will click, but it's just kind of like that me like that.

86
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:32,319
Just this is nasty, but it's doesn't feel like a very

87
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:37,199
premium product in this the way that I felt like the last generation one did.

88
00:06:35,199 --> 00:06:40,960
Let's uh get it out and compare. It feels like an entirely different

89
00:06:39,199 --> 00:06:45,960
product. I mean, it is. It's a successor, but the original one feels a

90
00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:51,199
lot more like holding a pistol grip, but it is a very light plastic.

91
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:55,400
And these switches really suck. It's also much less trigger-like than the

92
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:59,479
actual trigger on the new one. And so, in terms of shape, I like

93
00:06:57,919 --> 00:07:03,599
this better. In terms of, you know, realism, I like this one.

94
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:07,120
I guess I guess you could also get like a pistol grip on your gun that has like

95
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:11,520
a, you know, big drum mag or something. I don't know, guys. I don't know nothing

96
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:17,880
about guns. It's hard to deny that the new one is a huge improvement in terms

97
00:07:13,599 --> 00:07:20,000
of placement of things and overall

98
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:24,840
quality, but I do think they lost something with making it more ergonomic

99
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:30,560
versus feeling like holding a gun. That's a tough trade-off. Just like

100
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:34,319
it's tough every second I don't spend telling you about our sponsor. Thanks to

101
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:38,960
Incogn for sponsoring this video. All right, question for the room. If your

102
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:44,000
phone rings, how likely is it to be a scam or spam

103
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:47,759
call? Pretty likely, right? I mean, chances are that's because data brokers

104
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:52,639
are pedalling your private information online to the highest bidder, or really

105
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:57,360
any bidder at all. Incogn is a data removal service that combs through a

106
00:07:54,479 --> 00:08:01,680
list of over 150 data brokers and sends regular removal requests to keep your

107
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:05,360
personal identifiers off the web as much as they can. Their set it and forget it

108
00:08:03,599 --> 00:08:08,879
approach means it can be used by just about anyone. Just fill in the info you

109
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:12,560
want removed, then just let it run in the background. You'll even get sent

110
00:08:10,479 --> 00:08:16,319
regular reports to see what info was removed and from where. Head over to the

111
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:22,400
link in the description today and get 60% off an annual

112
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,400
plan. I got

113
00:08:22,599 --> 00:08:30,879
feedback. That's all they could pull off. That's less rumble than a freaking

114
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:34,800
controller, man. They would have been better off having

115
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:40,560
like a weight spin around. Okay, we have our two modes, our two times speed, our

116
00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:44,880
one time speed, and off. Does that mean it's not tied to anything in game? It's

117
00:08:42,560 --> 00:08:47,360
just a m mouse button press that triggers

118
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:57,680
this. That sucks. It'll be better for compatibility uh because it doesn't need

119
00:08:55,600 --> 00:09:00,880
compatibility. It's literally just like you're pressing a button. I'm going to

120
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:07,440
go Man, come on. I wanted to like this

121
00:09:02,959 --> 00:09:09,120
thing so bad. Oh, it's not good. Maybe I

122
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:14,480
can change it in software. Let's check it out. All right, we're in software.

123
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:16,560
Click the mouse to get started. Okay, we

124
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:21,120
can reassign all of our clicks. That's useful cuz there is so many buttons on

125
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,240
the side. You can import and export the

126
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:27,040
your settings. You can change the debounce time. Uh we can change our DPI

127
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:33,600
settings. I'm going to keep it at 800. That's what I like. We can change our polling rate because thankfully this is

128
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:35,200
a 1000Hz mouse which is definitely

129
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:41,519
adequate for the gaming space and we actually did some Labs testing which uh

130
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,880
summed up it's pretty okay. It's not

131
00:09:41,519 --> 00:09:46,160
going to win any awards for being competitive shooter mouse but it lands

132
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:51,680
kind of somewhere in the middle with about 10 milliseconds uh of input

133
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:54,080
latency from a click over its dongle.

134
00:09:51,680 --> 00:09:57,680
And so you won't really be impacted negatively by the performance of the

135
00:09:55,600 --> 00:10:01,680
mouse. But if you are competitively minded, you weren't going to get this

136
00:09:59,519 --> 00:10:04,519
mount anyway, so it's fine. We got our sensor settings. That's right. We have a

137
00:10:03,519 --> 00:10:09,120
P AW3395 in here, which is a flawless

138
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:12,959
sensor. Great choice. Very standard sensor amongst very decent

139
00:10:15,079 --> 00:10:22,160
mice. I forget that it does it every time I'm clicking and dragging like I'm

140
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:26,640
just dragging a window around, but I'm shooting guns. Fantastic. Down here we

141
00:10:25,279 --> 00:10:30,480
have some sensor settings. We can go in high power or low power mode. High

142
00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:34,480
power, baby. We have our liftoff distance, uh, if we're having trouble

143
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:42,800
tracking as we're lifting. Uh, and we have our high performance

144
00:10:36,839 --> 00:10:42,800
mode. Interesting. Where we can turn off

145
00:10:43,560 --> 00:10:49,760
how how long uh the mouse goes to sleep in. Let's leave it at 15 minutes. On the

146
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:53,440
right, we have ripple control, angle, snap, and motion sync, which are they're

147
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:57,360
mostly settings meant to mitigate uh some of the smoothness issues of super

148
00:10:55,279 --> 00:11:01,360
super sensitive mice, but I played 800, so that's not an issue. Under here, we

149
00:10:59,519 --> 00:11:05,760
can change what our light DPI light looks like. I'm going to leave it. Over

150
00:11:03,839 --> 00:11:10,560
here, we have our macros. Although, on their website, they specifically don't

151
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:16,120
recommend using this. Not sure what that means. Not a big deal for me. I don't

152
00:11:12,399 --> 00:11:18,480
use macros. Uh so, it's fine. We got RGB

153
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:22,600
control, rainbow stream. There's nothing better. Brightness, speed, turn off

154
00:11:20,959 --> 00:11:28,360
lights while moving. Why would I want that? I don't

155
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:35,760
understand. What a strange granular setting. I think RGB is almost mandatory

156
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:40,640
for gimmicky products, but it sucks they didn't embrace the gunness of this

157
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:45,120
mouse. I really wish it was just like black and metal like this one, but this

158
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:49,600
one also has RGB. I don't know. I feel like they're really missing out on

159
00:11:46,959 --> 00:11:55,760
having that like bro dude aesthetic with this thing. Huh. Okay, that's it for the

160
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:59,040
software. Why don't we play a game? H

161
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,040
feels pretty decent as a

162
00:11:59,560 --> 00:12:05,360
mouse. I really don't like how hefty

163
00:12:02,560 --> 00:12:10,160
this platform is. It really removes that immediate sensation of holding a gun,

164
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:14,720
which I think is the whole purpose of something this silly. Oh no, I don't

165
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:18,880
like it as much as the last one. Yeah, this I'm like, "Yeah, I'm fired a gun.

166
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:24,399
Oh yeah, I'm freaking cool, man." This is like a much more comfortable

167
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:26,440
ergonomic experience. That's not why I

168
00:12:24,399 --> 00:12:33,480
come to a gun mouse. Better mouse, better gun. I will

169
00:12:30,079 --> 00:12:36,160
say the tracking pretty damn good.

170
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:41,920
Uh if this was a budget mouse, I would be pretty pretty pleasantly surprised

171
00:12:38,959 --> 00:12:46,480
with how well it performs. But uh it is in fact not a budget mouse. I'll tell

172
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:49,920
you about the price in a little bit. I could have fun with this. So it's not so

173
00:12:48,079 --> 00:12:54,240
bad that it's ruining my fun or anything. It's just I think missing a

174
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:58,240
little bit of the point. It looks more like a gun, but like I'm not interacting

175
00:12:55,839 --> 00:13:01,279
with that part and I'm not looking down at the mouse when I'm using it. So it

176
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:05,920
doesn't matter that it looks like a gun. What matters is that that feels like a

177
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:11,519
freaking pistol grip. This feels like an ergonomic uh pointing device. I'm so

178
00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:16,279
upset. I was so excited to unbox this thing because I thought this had so much

179
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:21,760
potential, this little pistol grip handle, but they thought about it too

180
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:29,160
hard without narrowing on the things that made it good. You close your

181
00:13:24,279 --> 00:13:33,000
eyes, this is a MXM. You close your

182
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:36,320
eyes, you're holding a [ __ ]

183
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:38,720
pistol. Also, this is way too little

184
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:45,279
freaking force feedback, man. You needed They need Ragnarok. Ragnok, great idea.

185
00:13:42,959 --> 00:13:49,440
There is big improvements in this one. I think there's a lot of things you've

186
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:52,480
done well, but I think you need to go back to the basics. If you're going to

187
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:56,839
do force feedback, it has to be more powerful than this. It has to give me it

188
00:13:54,160 --> 00:14:02,800
more sensation than a freaking busted PS1 rumble motor.

189
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:06,160
Okay. It needs to feel like a pistol,

190
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:07,000
not just look like a pistol. And I need

191
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:13,040
this trigger to be a trigger all the way

192
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:16,880
down. I don't care about the competitive nature of this. This is a personal

193
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:21,680
thing. Everything else I was 100% right about. I don't care about the immediate

194
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:24,800
feedback and input being put into my computer on this. I want it to feel like

195
00:14:23,519 --> 00:14:29,440
I'm pulling on a trigger. So, I think there should be a spring that before it

196
00:14:27,839 --> 00:14:34,320
actually gets to the switch, it has a little bit of travel so it goes extra

197
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:37,199
long. That'd be so much better. And no one is buying this for competitive

198
00:14:35,839 --> 00:14:42,240
advantage, so it doesn't matter that much. One thing we haven't talked about

199
00:14:38,959 --> 00:14:44,880
yet is the battery life. Uh they claim

200
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:50,560
about 70 hours if you're doing no RGB and no recoil, which actually wouldn't

201
00:14:47,279 --> 00:14:53,360
be too bad. about 10 hours if you are,

202
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:56,720
which is not great. But this is a novelty mouse. You can use it for the

203
00:14:55,199 --> 00:15:02,000
brief period you want to and then plug it in. I think this is not a good uh

204
00:14:59,279 --> 00:15:07,600
productivity mouse. Although maybe it is. It is just an MXM. Uh but it's not

205
00:15:05,519 --> 00:15:11,880
like it's cheaper than an MXM. This thing costs $1809.

206
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:21,760
$189. It is on sale for 129. And I get

207
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:28,639
the feeling that it's one of those kind of permanent sales. Like the real price

208
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:31,639
is 130, but 130 for kind of a MXM. Worst

209
00:15:28,639 --> 00:15:35,120
force feedback I've ever seen. An okay

210
00:15:31,639 --> 00:15:38,279
trigger. Um, but the shell that kind of

211
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:42,000
looks like a future pistol, it

212
00:15:38,279 --> 00:15:45,199
just it's just not good enough. And that

213
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:48,240
sucks because the previous one was good

214
00:15:45,199 --> 00:15:50,000
enough for what it was. It did its job

215
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:53,120
and then they overengineered it. They thought about it too hard and I think

216
00:15:51,759 --> 00:15:56,959
they were concerned about how it would look in photos, not how it would be. And

217
00:15:55,759 --> 00:16:04,199
I think that they've made a worse product. It's an okay mouse. Comfortable

218
00:15:59,839 --> 00:16:06,880
shape, but it doesn't work as a gun

219
00:16:04,199 --> 00:16:12,440
mouse. So, editor, bring back my ranking. This is the number two gun

220
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:14,720
mouse on the market. This is number

221
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:17,839
one, just like you're number one for making it to the end of this video. If

222
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:22,480
you want more details on the Erggo Strike 7, uh you should go over to the

223
00:16:19,759 --> 00:16:26,560
LT Labs website where the Labs team is writing up a full article on this thing.

224
00:16:24,959 --> 00:16:31,040
Uh, I'm really curious to see what they have to

225
00:16:28,199 --> 00:16:34,000
say because they can't be more disappointed than I was
