welcome to my unboxing and first look at the steel series Call of Duty Black Ops
2 gaming mouse now Black Ops 2 might have been a bit of a how you say um less
than successful Game launch considering you know the Black Ops or the Call of
Duty lineage of it however there's nothing you know not awesome about this
mouse so we're also going have a look at the Call of Duty Black Ops 2 mouse pad
which is basically one of their qc's mouse pads with Black Ops branding
on it so we'll start with that guy you can actually see already even though I
haven't unboxed it yet what it's going to look like because this is a steel
series qk Diablo I branded mouse pad so
it'll be like that except with a different picture on it a very different
picture on it a Black Ops 2 picture on
it so it comes in a package that might lead you to believe that it's a hard
mouse pad but it actually isn't it is a cloth mouse pad on a hard backing there
we go it is as I said before pretty much
the same as the other one so we can go ahead and we can add to my stack of qck
that I have going on here Black Ops 2 qck looks pretty good
right comes with a little steel series brochure about some of their other cool
products including mice keyboards headsets all kinds of great stuff steel
series sticker and that pretty much does it for that now this almost looks
perfect but if we move the steel series Sensei that I use for my test bench then
we can see what it looks like with a proper Call of Duty Black Ops 2 m so
let's have a look at what they have to say for themselves ARM yourself with a weapon design for hours of clest the
Black Ops 2 Edition Mouse Okay amb extra shape optimized for all types of gamer
grips Palm claw and swipe gaming grade switches have a lifespan of 10 million
clicks which is an awful lot of clicks although if you're some of those you
know I don't know if you're Korean or something then you may actually need
more clicks than that in the lifespan of a mouse because of you know actions per
minute and whatnot you know what that would be a great calculation I would
love for someone to run these numbers because it would be hilarious so take
the actions per minute of one of the top sort of you know Starcraft 2 players and
then figure out how long it would take them if they were playing constantly to
actually use the left click 10 million times it' be just kind of hilarious
let's find out what it would take to actually kill the switches on this mouse
to the point where they they cannot operate anymore so there we go that's
what the mouse looks like we're going to go ahead and pull that out of there
let's go ahead and see what else steel Series has to say for themselves programmable illumination options for
the scroll wheel back and CPI toggle
eight ergonomically placed buttons seven programmable buttons supported by steel
seies engine technology offering operation configuration customization
and advanced macros across steel series peripherals so the counts the frames per
second is 12,000 the counts per inch is 90 to 5,670 it's as many as you'll need
remember guys steel series uses counts per inch because they find it actually
gives a more accurate representation of how the mouse performs compared to DPI
which is dots per inch 150 Ines per second is the uh the
resolution I believe is the terminology for that guy acceleration is at up to 30
G's lift instance is approximately 2 millimeters has eight buttons now steel
Series has one of the best software configuration utilities that I have ever
seen it's right up there with guys like Logitech I mean here's the thing this is
what a lot of people don't really seem to get is that almost everyone in their
dog makes a gaming mouse it's actually not complicated I could I could get find
an oem that would make a gaming mouse for me it could be the lonus mouse guys
feel free to like the video if you think that's a great idea anyway I could do
that but the part where I'd have trouble is the software steel Series has
advanced software functionality that allows you to turn on or off things like
angle snapping things like uh correction
for slight imperfections in your movement which I turn off because in
gaming that stuff's totally useless if you're trying to make minute adjustments
to your mouse as well as things like being able to adjust the CPI to a fine
level of perfection that's exactly perfect for your style compared to other
software that's out there so for cheaper or less sort of reputable peripherals
you know what you're probably losing the value on the software that's probably
where you're getting the shaft so it won't won't happen with a steel series peripheral in fact you especially won't
see that happen with something like the Call of Duty Black Ops Mouse because as you may or may not have noticed this is
the same Mouse as the Sensei look at that it just has a Call of Duty Black
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
to the top of it whereas the Sensei has kind of a hard plastic uh shiny feel to
it and I find this much more comfortable this feels a lot like my iari laser
upstairs uh on my gaming rig so if you guys don't know a lot of people have
asked me my favorite mouse ever ever ever is the aari laser from steel series
uh the Sensei has not displaced it because I am right-handed and I do like
that right-handed ergonomic shape but what a lot of Gamers like about steel
series is it is ambidextrous you can use it left-handed if you want they've even
made it ambidextrous see I've seen ambidextrous mice that are ambidextrous
in shape but then they only have thumb buttons on the one side to which I would
go well that's not very ambidextrous at all because then left-handed players
have no thumb buttons but steel series goes as far with the Sensei as to put
two thumb buttons on either side both of which are completely programmable you
also have a CPI switcher on the top this guy right here I believe can also be
programmed to do other things although correct me if I'm wrong on that one guys
but this light turns on and off depending on which CPI profile you're
using see I can demo that uh you can also change the lighting here here and
on the back of the mouse which we might as well plug in and see what it looks
like by default go ahead and plug this
bad boy into the USB port see what happen ah looking good so
you can change the color of that illuminated two there see that's what it
looks like with it off actually that looks really cool that's very stealthy the way that they've implemented that so
it comes orange by default and gaming grade laser ah yes this is another thing
pet peeve for mice and you know what I've seen even
like even fairly reputable guys do this a mouse sensor is not all about how many
dots per inch or counts per inch or acceleration blah blah blah blah blah
all those specs in the world mean absolutely nothing until you plug it
into a system and actually run a game on it um honestly I was really excited
about the Logitech g600 super excited I
was like so excited I was like this is the perfect Mouse it's ergonomically shaped it has awesome like buttons and
stuff and then I plugged it into my computer and this it feels laggy how am
I supposed to use it I've never encountered that with a steel series
Mouse whether it's AK kinzu Zai Sensei
iari laser or I mean probably this one
given it's the same exact thing as this never encountered that before so the
quality of the Optics they're using in here the actual lasers and the sensors
and the processors and everything that they're doing has always been very
consistent for me so there I Ando Ando o
