00:00:07,439 --> 00:00:15,040
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the steel series Call of Duty Black Ops

2
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:22,439
2 gaming mouse now Black Ops 2 might have been a bit of a how you say um less

3
00:00:20,039 --> 00:00:26,240
than successful Game launch considering you know the Black Ops or the Call of

4
00:00:24,119 --> 00:00:30,759
Duty lineage of it however there's nothing you know not awesome about this

5
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:34,680
mouse so we're also going have a look at the Call of Duty Black Ops 2 mouse pad

6
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:39,000
which is basically one of their qc's mouse pads with Black Ops branding

7
00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:42,559
on it so we'll start with that guy you can actually see already even though I

8
00:00:40,719 --> 00:00:48,199
haven't unboxed it yet what it's going to look like because this is a steel

9
00:00:44,719 --> 00:00:49,680
series qk Diablo I branded mouse pad so

10
00:00:48,199 --> 00:00:56,559
it'll be like that except with a different picture on it a very different

11
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:56,559
picture on it a Black Ops 2 picture on

12
00:00:57,239 --> 00:01:03,960
it so it comes in a package that might lead you to believe that it's a hard

13
00:01:01,039 --> 00:01:10,439
mouse pad but it actually isn't it is a cloth mouse pad on a hard backing there

14
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:12,680
we go it is as I said before pretty much

15
00:01:10,439 --> 00:01:17,520
the same as the other one so we can go ahead and we can add to my stack of qck

16
00:01:15,320 --> 00:01:23,720
that I have going on here Black Ops 2 qck looks pretty good

17
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:27,280
right comes with a little steel series brochure about some of their other cool

18
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:30,880
products including mice keyboards headsets all kinds of great stuff steel

19
00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:35,159
series sticker and that pretty much does it for that now this almost looks

20
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:39,240
perfect but if we move the steel series Sensei that I use for my test bench then

21
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,640
we can see what it looks like with a proper Call of Duty Black Ops 2 m so

22
00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:48,360
let's have a look at what they have to say for themselves ARM yourself with a weapon design for hours of clest the

23
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:53,439
Black Ops 2 Edition Mouse Okay amb extra shape optimized for all types of gamer

24
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:57,799
grips Palm claw and swipe gaming grade switches have a lifespan of 10 million

25
00:01:56,039 --> 00:02:01,200
clicks which is an awful lot of clicks although if you're some of those you

26
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:05,039
know I don't know if you're Korean or something then you may actually need

27
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:08,200
more clicks than that in the lifespan of a mouse because of you know actions per

28
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:11,599
minute and whatnot you know what that would be a great calculation I would

29
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,319
love for someone to run these numbers because it would be hilarious so take

30
00:02:13,239 --> 00:02:20,040
the actions per minute of one of the top sort of you know Starcraft 2 players and

31
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:24,879
then figure out how long it would take them if they were playing constantly to

32
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:29,160
actually use the left click 10 million times it' be just kind of hilarious

33
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:34,519
let's find out what it would take to actually kill the switches on this mouse

34
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:38,519
to the point where they they cannot operate anymore so there we go that's

35
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,599
what the mouse looks like we're going to go ahead and pull that out of there

36
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:48,319
let's go ahead and see what else steel Series has to say for themselves programmable illumination options for

37
00:02:45,239 --> 00:02:50,200
the scroll wheel back and CPI toggle

38
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:53,159
eight ergonomically placed buttons seven programmable buttons supported by steel

39
00:02:51,959 --> 00:02:57,040
seies engine technology offering operation configuration customization

40
00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:01,440
and advanced macros across steel series peripherals so the counts the frames per

41
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:06,599
second is 12,000 the counts per inch is 90 to 5,670 it's as many as you'll need

42
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:10,159
remember guys steel series uses counts per inch because they find it actually

43
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:14,040
gives a more accurate representation of how the mouse performs compared to DPI

44
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:19,319
which is dots per inch 150 Ines per second is the uh the

45
00:03:17,519 --> 00:03:23,319
resolution I believe is the terminology for that guy acceleration is at up to 30

46
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:28,080
G's lift instance is approximately 2 millimeters has eight buttons now steel

47
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:32,239
Series has one of the best software configuration utilities that I have ever

48
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:36,280
seen it's right up there with guys like Logitech I mean here's the thing this is

49
00:03:34,799 --> 00:03:40,480
what a lot of people don't really seem to get is that almost everyone in their

50
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:45,480
dog makes a gaming mouse it's actually not complicated I could I could get find

51
00:03:43,319 --> 00:03:49,400
an oem that would make a gaming mouse for me it could be the lonus mouse guys

52
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:53,159
feel free to like the video if you think that's a great idea anyway I could do

53
00:03:51,319 --> 00:03:56,720
that but the part where I'd have trouble is the software steel Series has

54
00:03:54,840 --> 00:04:01,680
advanced software functionality that allows you to turn on or off things like

55
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:03,519
angle snapping things like uh correction

56
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:07,120
for slight imperfections in your movement which I turn off because in

57
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:10,640
gaming that stuff's totally useless if you're trying to make minute adjustments

58
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:15,840
to your mouse as well as things like being able to adjust the CPI to a fine

59
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:20,120
level of perfection that's exactly perfect for your style compared to other

60
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:26,320
software that's out there so for cheaper or less sort of reputable peripherals

61
00:04:24,479 --> 00:04:29,479
you know what you're probably losing the value on the software that's probably

62
00:04:27,919 --> 00:04:34,199
where you're getting the shaft so it won't won't happen with a steel series peripheral in fact you especially won't

63
00:04:32,919 --> 00:04:39,919
see that happen with something like the Call of Duty Black Ops Mouse because as you may or may not have noticed this is

64
00:04:37,919 --> 00:04:44,320
the same Mouse as the Sensei look at that it just has a Call of Duty Black

65
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:49,120
Ops graphic on it it's actually if anything I'd say it's a little bit better because it has a soft touch feel

66
00:04:47,039 --> 00:04:53,360
to the top of it whereas the Sensei has kind of a hard plastic uh shiny feel to

67
00:04:51,639 --> 00:04:57,600
it and I find this much more comfortable this feels a lot like my iari laser

68
00:04:55,080 --> 00:05:01,560
upstairs uh on my gaming rig so if you guys don't know a lot of people have

69
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:06,280
asked me my favorite mouse ever ever ever is the aari laser from steel series

70
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:10,120
uh the Sensei has not displaced it because I am right-handed and I do like

71
00:05:08,039 --> 00:05:13,400
that right-handed ergonomic shape but what a lot of Gamers like about steel

72
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:17,440
series is it is ambidextrous you can use it left-handed if you want they've even

73
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:22,160
made it ambidextrous see I've seen ambidextrous mice that are ambidextrous

74
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:26,120
in shape but then they only have thumb buttons on the one side to which I would

75
00:05:24,319 --> 00:05:29,880
go well that's not very ambidextrous at all because then left-handed players

76
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:33,319
have no thumb buttons but steel series goes as far with the Sensei as to put

77
00:05:31,479 --> 00:05:37,319
two thumb buttons on either side both of which are completely programmable you

78
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:40,400
also have a CPI switcher on the top this guy right here I believe can also be

79
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:43,639
programmed to do other things although correct me if I'm wrong on that one guys

80
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:47,199
but this light turns on and off depending on which CPI profile you're

81
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:50,880
using see I can demo that uh you can also change the lighting here here and

82
00:05:49,039 --> 00:05:55,639
on the back of the mouse which we might as well plug in and see what it looks

83
00:05:52,319 --> 00:05:57,400
like by default go ahead and plug this

84
00:05:55,639 --> 00:06:02,080
bad boy into the USB port see what happen ah looking good so

85
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:05,319
you can change the color of that illuminated two there see that's what it

86
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:11,160
looks like with it off actually that looks really cool that's very stealthy the way that they've implemented that so

87
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:14,919
it comes orange by default and gaming grade laser ah yes this is another thing

88
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:20,000
pet peeve for mice and you know what I've seen even

89
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:24,440
like even fairly reputable guys do this a mouse sensor is not all about how many

90
00:06:22,639 --> 00:06:27,680
dots per inch or counts per inch or acceleration blah blah blah blah blah

91
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:32,360
all those specs in the world mean absolutely nothing until you plug it

92
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:37,800
into a system and actually run a game on it um honestly I was really excited

93
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:39,160
about the Logitech g600 super excited I

94
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:44,039
was like so excited I was like this is the perfect Mouse it's ergonomically shaped it has awesome like buttons and

95
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:48,120
stuff and then I plugged it into my computer and this it feels laggy how am

96
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:52,479
I supposed to use it I've never encountered that with a steel series

97
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:55,879
Mouse whether it's AK kinzu Zai Sensei

98
00:06:52,479 --> 00:06:58,120
iari laser or I mean probably this one

99
00:06:55,879 --> 00:07:01,639
given it's the same exact thing as this never encountered that before so the

100
00:06:59,879 --> 00:07:05,840
quality of the Optics they're using in here the actual lasers and the sensors

101
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:11,199
and the processors and everything that they're doing has always been very

102
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:14,120
consistent for me so there I Ando Ando o

103
00:07:11,199 --> 00:07:18,199
Ando steel series Mo thank you for watching and don't forget to subscribe
