okay so today we're going to be unboxing a product that isn't really all that new
but it has something new about it so you see this little sticker that they've put
on the box here new bind all 15 buttons
without leaving the game available with patch 3.2.2 or later so when this
product was first released it wasn't actually fully compatible with the game
now it is completely integrated to the game so that you can take any action
that you can perform in the game and you can bind it directly to a button before
it used to be that steel series had it set up so that when you pressed a button
it would execute a small macro so that meant that it would actually like kind
of type a command in whereas now it's integrated directly into the World of
Warcraft game engine so that it's seamless okay so here we can see the
mouse itself laid in with some gold and I don't know Dragon Jewels or whatever
and then up here they show a quick preview of the interface for configuring
the Mouse itself now that would obviously be the old interface now that
the mouse can be configured within the game okay so let's get this box open if
I can figure out how to do it I think it opens down here yep there we go okay so
we undo the the gold and then we have a
small plastic sheath over the mouse itself now I do want to if I can get the
mouse to come out of there yeah ah there we go okay I want to have a look at the
accessories that are included first though as per my usual thing so not a
whole lot as you can see in terms of accessories it's pretty bare down there
but what we do have is a World of Warcraft MMO gaming mouse quick start
guide so basically they tell you to go to steelseries.com downloads get the
latest drivers that's what I always recommend anyway I don't even like
seeing a driver disc in the Box because you shouldn't be using it they tell you
how to configure the mouse they show you all the default assignments for the
buttons auto run last hostile stop all nearest enemy all that kind of wow
terminology that I would know if I played that game which I don't um all
right so here we have nice beautiful braided cord that's really nice so it
won't uh won't get caught on stuff you can see it's quite shiny and it's a
little bit slippery so that if you are tugging on it it will slip past whatever
obstacles are in your way so let's have a quick look at the ergonomics of the
wow Mouse itself so you can see that it is a symmetrical Mouse so you can use it
as either a lefty or a righty but on the one side you've got a layout that is
obviously a little bit better suited for a thumb okay so you got your four
buttons here and then this would be forward back for your browser or you can configure it to whatever you want in
game and then on the other side for your pinky is only two buttons okay so then
on the top of the mouse you have another 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 and one thing that's cool
about the wow Mouse is there's actually Lighting in between these little sort of
overlapping armor bits here that you can
configure to whatever color you want now this wouldn't be a complete wow Mouse
unboxing without a quick look at it versus the Razer Naga MMO Mouse but
actually one more thing before we stop is I wanted to have a look at the huge
uh slippy pads on the bottom of this mouse slippy pads what am I calling them
these are Teflon pads and that's going to enable you to have a really good
gliding experience no matter what kind of surface you're using it on so here it
is against the Naga which is kind of a similar sort of idea for a mouse it is
an MMO gaming mouse but they do take slightly different approaches where the
wow Mouse integrates directly into the game in terms of assignment the Naga can
only be assigned to the one two three uh
the number Keys across the top of the keyboard or the number pad so you have
to press a little button and those are the only Keys it can be bound to at this
time they also take very different approaches in terms of the button
layouts and the ergonomics so the steel series Mouse is for lefties or righties
whereas the Naga would be extremely uncomfortable if you were to try to use
it with a left hand now the buttons are kind of accessible from all your
different fingers on the MMO Mouse whereas on the Naga it's pretty much
only your thumb which uses this number pad on the side and your index finger
that's where you're going to be hitting most of the buttons on the mouse from so
thank you for checking out my unboxing of the steel series World of Warcraft
MMO gaming mouse
