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

00:00:04.880 --> 00:00:09.760
before. Mice in the shape of guns. And

00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:16.080
uh you know what? I like them. But Ragnarok has released the new model, the

00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:18.640
Ragnok Erggo Strike 7. And it's got some

00:00:16.080 --> 00:00:23.720
fancy new features that might make this the absolute best gaming mouse gun on

00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:29.519
the whole market. Sure, that might be a little bit

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

00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:40.160
making your peripherals be more like the device that you're using in a game can

00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:45.360
be pretty cool. If you're using your mouse to play shooters, why not have

00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:48.399
your mouse be a gun? Inside our box, we

00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:51.520
have our user manual. We have some extra

00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:55.360
skates uh for when these wear out. We

00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:57.360
also have a USB A to C adapter dongle,

00:00:55.360 --> 00:01:03.359
buddy. Uh, and then we have what looks to be a

00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:05.680
six. How did I make a knot so quickly?

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

00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:15.760
that little shielding thing. The sleing on the cable is not like tight to the

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

00:01:17.520 --> 00:01:22.640
see this wearing. Uh, if this got caught kind of between the wall and was

00:01:20.880 --> 00:01:27.040
rubbing, I think it would pile pretty quick. But the quality of the cable is

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

00:01:30.600 --> 00:01:37.920
itself. It is a lot bigger than the

00:01:34.240 --> 00:01:40.880
previous one. This palm grip is just

00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:46.200
massive. Holy smokes. That is a design decision. It's certainly hand griable

00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:53.920
with all the buttons in accessible places, but I feel like it really

00:01:50.600 --> 00:01:56.000
removes my immediate feedback to the

00:01:53.920 --> 00:02:01.840
desk because I'm so lifted onto this mouse. It feels like I'm like 2°

00:01:58.479 --> 00:02:03.200
separate from the actual table. Not the

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

00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:10.560
a bad thing. But what I will say is that

00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:17.040
it's fairly ergonomic. Like this is a very natural grip shape uh with no

00:02:13.440 --> 00:02:19.680
breaks in my arm. The movement of the

00:02:17.040 --> 00:02:24.000
wrist is a little uncomfortable cuz it's not quite like straight breaking like

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

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

00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:37.840
size, I think it's for medium to big

00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:45.120
hands. It's not really for small hands. I don't have particularly big hands, but

00:02:40.959 --> 00:02:47.840
it's at the edge of what I would enjoy

00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:52.879
wrapping my meaty fist around. That grip is like a rubberized grip. Uh you can

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

00:02:55.200 --> 00:03:00.480
like the kind of rubber that will degrade really, really, really, really

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

00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:10.080
not pulling this out to play all your games, but it feels already a little bit

00:03:07.760 --> 00:03:17.440
like that oily, rubbery feeling as it's degrading. Kind of not quite sticky, but

00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:19.879
easy to gunk up. I can also see that the

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

00:03:23.040 --> 00:03:29.280
perfect molding, too. Uh it's going to be hard to show on camera, but here

00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:34.400
there's like a divot that catches the light a little bit. And then one up

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.

00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:42.000
It's not like it's uncomfortable. Like the back is worse

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

00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:51.920
this side, we have our scroll wheel that also clicks. We have button one, two,

00:03:49.239 --> 00:03:54.720
three. So, three buttons on the side, four if you count the scroll wheel

00:03:53.200 --> 00:04:01.680
click. On the front, we have our trigger, which feels like a mouse switch

00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:06.480
this time, not a keyboard switch. pretty clicky. Still got pretty good movement.

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,

00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:15.439
another button down here. I'm guessing that's your right click. And then on the

00:04:13.760 --> 00:04:20.239
top, we have our settings for the recoil, as well as our little thing that

00:04:18.400 --> 00:04:24.560
does recoil. I'm really excited to see how that feels in my hand. U,

00:04:22.479 --> 00:04:28.639
apparently, this is actually designed to fit the

00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:32.880
Lego spacing. So, you can put a little Lego figurine on here if you really want

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.

00:04:35.280 --> 00:04:42.639
On the bottom, we have our skates. Uh, looks

00:04:39.960 --> 00:04:47.040
fairly widespread. We have our sensor right at the front of the base, which is

00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:51.440
sort of surprising. Generally, the mice sensors are pretty close to the middle,

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

00:04:53.840 --> 00:05:02.400
to the center um than I immediately thought. So, that is about right. We

00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:07.600
also have our DPI button as well as our mode toggle. Uh, this is a wireless

00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:13.120
mouse. Um, but it can work wired through USBC on the front or via Bluetooth or

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

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

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

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

00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:35.520
much better looking one. I also think

00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:40.320
this rubber feels less gunky. This doesn't feel nice. That feels pretty

00:05:37.840 --> 00:05:45.120
premium. So, you know what? This black one actually has a keyboard switch, um,

00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:49.919
which is no longer available. Only the mouse clicky one is available. It's a

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

00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:58.720
in terms of the click when I hit the click. I think overall I still prefer

00:05:56.320 --> 00:06:06.080
the mouse clicky one. Speaking of how all the buttons feel,

00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:08.240
these I would consider like adequate.

00:06:06.080 --> 00:06:14.160
The front back buttons are definitely okay. This button is fine. I actually

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

00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:21.759
right click is really mushy. Also, it looks really uneven. Like if you press

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.

00:06:24.400 --> 00:06:32.319
Just this is nasty, but it's doesn't feel like a very

00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:37.199
premium product in this the way that I felt like the last generation one did.

00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:40.960
Let's uh get it out and compare. It feels like an entirely different

00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:45.960
product. I mean, it is. It's a successor, but the original one feels a

00:06:43.280 --> 00:06:51.199
lot more like holding a pistol grip, but it is a very light plastic.

00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:55.400
And these switches really suck. It's also much less trigger-like than the

00:06:53.280 --> 00:06:59.479
actual trigger on the new one. And so, in terms of shape, I like

00:06:57.919 --> 00:07:03.599
this better. In terms of, you know, realism, I like this one.

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

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

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

00:07:13.599 --> 00:07:20.000
of placement of things and overall

00:07:17.880 --> 00:07:24.840
quality, but I do think they lost something with making it more ergonomic

00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:30.560
versus feeling like holding a gun. That's a tough trade-off. Just like

00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:34.319
it's tough every second I don't spend telling you about our sponsor. Thanks to

00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:38.960
Incogn for sponsoring this video. All right, question for the room. If your

00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:44.000
phone rings, how likely is it to be a scam or spam

00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:47.759
call? Pretty likely, right? I mean, chances are that's because data brokers

00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:52.639
are pedalling your private information online to the highest bidder, or really

00:07:50.080 --> 00:07:57.360
any bidder at all. Incogn is a data removal service that combs through a

00:07:54.479 --> 00:08:01.680
list of over 150 data brokers and sends regular removal requests to keep your

00:07:59.520 --> 00:08:05.360
personal identifiers off the web as much as they can. Their set it and forget it

00:08:03.599 --> 00:08:08.879
approach means it can be used by just about anyone. Just fill in the info you

00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:12.560
want removed, then just let it run in the background. You'll even get sent

00:08:10.479 --> 00:08:16.319
regular reports to see what info was removed and from where. Head over to the

00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:22.400
link in the description today and get 60% off an annual

00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:22.400
plan. I got

00:08:22.599 --> 00:08:30.879
feedback. That's all they could pull off. That's less rumble than a freaking

00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:34.800
controller, man. They would have been better off having

00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:40.560
like a weight spin around. Okay, we have our two modes, our two times speed, our

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

00:08:42.560 --> 00:08:47.360
just a m mouse button press that triggers

00:08:49.640 --> 00:08:57.680
this. That sucks. It'll be better for compatibility uh because it doesn't need

00:08:55.600 --> 00:09:00.880
compatibility. It's literally just like you're pressing a button. I'm going to

00:08:58.880 --> 00:09:07.440
go Man, come on. I wanted to like this

00:09:02.959 --> 00:09:09.120
thing so bad. Oh, it's not good. Maybe I

00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:14.480
can change it in software. Let's check it out. All right, we're in software.

00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:16.560
Click the mouse to get started. Okay, we

00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:21.120
can reassign all of our clicks. That's useful cuz there is so many buttons on

00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:22.240
the side. You can import and export the

00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:27.040
your settings. You can change the debounce time. Uh we can change our DPI

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

00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:35.200
a 1000Hz mouse which is definitely

00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:41.519
adequate for the gaming space and we actually did some Labs testing which uh

00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:42.880
summed up it's pretty okay. It's not

00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:46.160
going to win any awards for being competitive shooter mouse but it lands

00:09:45.040 --> 00:09:51.680
kind of somewhere in the middle with about 10 milliseconds uh of input

00:09:48.640 --> 00:09:54.080
latency from a click over its dongle.

00:09:51.680 --> 00:09:57.680
And so you won't really be impacted negatively by the performance of the

00:09:55.600 --> 00:10:01.680
mouse. But if you are competitively minded, you weren't going to get this

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

00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:09.120
P AW3395 in here, which is a flawless

00:10:07.040 --> 00:10:12.959
sensor. Great choice. Very standard sensor amongst very decent

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

00:10:20.640 --> 00:10:26.640
just dragging a window around, but I'm shooting guns. Fantastic. Down here we

00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:30.480
have some sensor settings. We can go in high power or low power mode. High

00:10:28.560 --> 00:10:34.480
power, baby. We have our liftoff distance, uh, if we're having trouble

00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:42.800
tracking as we're lifting. Uh, and we have our high performance

00:10:36.839 --> 00:10:42.800
mode. Interesting. Where we can turn off

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

00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:53.440
right, we have ripple control, angle, snap, and motion sync, which are they're

00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:57.360
mostly settings meant to mitigate uh some of the smoothness issues of super

00:10:55.279 --> 00:11:01.360
super sensitive mice, but I played 800, so that's not an issue. Under here, we

00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:05.760
can change what our light DPI light looks like. I'm going to leave it. Over

00:11:03.839 --> 00:11:10.560
here, we have our macros. Although, on their website, they specifically don't

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

00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:18.480
use macros. Uh so, it's fine. We got RGB

00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:22.600
control, rainbow stream. There's nothing better. Brightness, speed, turn off

00:11:20.959 --> 00:11:28.360
lights while moving. Why would I want that? I don't

00:11:25.760 --> 00:11:35.760
understand. What a strange granular setting. I think RGB is almost mandatory

00:11:32.800 --> 00:11:40.640
for gimmicky products, but it sucks they didn't embrace the gunness of this

00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:45.120
mouse. I really wish it was just like black and metal like this one, but this

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

00:11:46.959 --> 00:11:55.760
having that like bro dude aesthetic with this thing. Huh. Okay, that's it for the

00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:59.040
software. Why don't we play a game? H

00:11:55.760 --> 00:11:59.040
feels pretty decent as a

00:11:59.560 --> 00:12:05.360
mouse. I really don't like how hefty

00:12:02.560 --> 00:12:10.160
this platform is. It really removes that immediate sensation of holding a gun,

00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:14.720
which I think is the whole purpose of something this silly. Oh no, I don't

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.

00:12:16.800 --> 00:12:24.399
Oh yeah, I'm freaking cool, man." This is like a much more comfortable

00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:26.440
ergonomic experience. That's not why I

00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:33.480
come to a gun mouse. Better mouse, better gun. I will

00:12:30.079 --> 00:12:36.160
say the tracking pretty damn good.

00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:41.920
Uh if this was a budget mouse, I would be pretty pretty pleasantly surprised

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

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

00:12:48.079 --> 00:12:54.240
bad that it's ruining my fun or anything. It's just I think missing a

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

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

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

00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:11.519
freaking pistol grip. This feels like an ergonomic uh pointing device. I'm so

00:13:08.560 --> 00:13:16.279
upset. I was so excited to unbox this thing because I thought this had so much

00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:21.760
potential, this little pistol grip handle, but they thought about it too

00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:29.160
hard without narrowing on the things that made it good. You close your

00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:33.000
eyes, this is a MXM. You close your

00:13:29.160 --> 00:13:36.320
eyes, you're holding a [ __ ]

00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:38.720
pistol. Also, this is way too little

00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:45.279
freaking force feedback, man. You needed They need Ragnarok. Ragnok, great idea.

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

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

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

00:13:54.160 --> 00:14:02.800
more sensation than a freaking busted PS1 rumble motor.

00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:06.160
Okay. It needs to feel like a pistol,

00:14:02.800 --> 00:14:07.000
not just look like a pistol. And I need

00:14:06.160 --> 00:14:13.040
this trigger to be a trigger all the way

00:14:10.160 --> 00:14:16.880
down. I don't care about the competitive nature of this. This is a personal

00:14:15.040 --> 00:14:21.680
thing. Everything else I was 100% right about. I don't care about the immediate

00:14:19.040 --> 00:14:24.800
feedback and input being put into my computer on this. I want it to feel like

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

00:14:27.839 --> 00:14:34.320
actually gets to the switch, it has a little bit of travel so it goes extra

00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:37.199
long. That'd be so much better. And no one is buying this for competitive

00:14:35.839 --> 00:14:42.240
advantage, so it doesn't matter that much. One thing we haven't talked about

00:14:38.959 --> 00:14:44.880
yet is the battery life. Uh they claim

00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:50.560
about 70 hours if you're doing no RGB and no recoil, which actually wouldn't

00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:53.360
be too bad. about 10 hours if you are,

00:14:50.560 --> 00:14:56.720
which is not great. But this is a novelty mouse. You can use it for the

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

00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:07.600
productivity mouse. Although maybe it is. It is just an MXM. Uh but it's not

00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:11.880
like it's cheaper than an MXM. This thing costs $1809.

00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:21.760
$189. It is on sale for 129. And I get

00:15:18.880 --> 00:15:28.639
the feeling that it's one of those kind of permanent sales. Like the real price

00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:31.639
is 130, but 130 for kind of a MXM. Worst

00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:35.120
force feedback I've ever seen. An okay

00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:38.279
trigger. Um, but the shell that kind of

00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:42.000
looks like a future pistol, it

00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:45.199
just it's just not good enough. And that

00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:48.240
sucks because the previous one was good

00:15:45.199 --> 00:15:50.000
enough for what it was. It did its job

00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:53.120
and then they overengineered it. They thought about it too hard and I think

00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:56.959
they were concerned about how it would look in photos, not how it would be. And

00:15:55.759 --> 00:16:04.199
I think that they've made a worse product. It's an okay mouse. Comfortable

00:15:59.839 --> 00:16:06.880
shape, but it doesn't work as a gun

00:16:04.199 --> 00:16:12.440
mouse. So, editor, bring back my ranking. This is the number two gun

00:16:08.800 --> 00:16:14.720
mouse on the market. This is number

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

00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:22.480
you want more details on the Erggo Strike 7, uh you should go over to the

00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:26.560
LT Labs website where the Labs team is writing up a full article on this thing.

00:16:24.959 --> 00:16:31.040
Uh, I'm really curious to see what they have to

00:16:28.199 --> 00:16:34.000
say because they can't be more disappointed than I was
