00:00:07.439 --> 00:00:15.040
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the steel series Call of Duty Black Ops

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

00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:26.240
than successful Game launch considering you know the Black Ops or the Call of

00:00:24.119 --> 00:00:30.759
Duty lineage of it however there's nothing you know not awesome about this

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

00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:39.000
which is basically one of their qc's mouse pads with Black Ops branding

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

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

00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:49.680
series qk Diablo I branded mouse pad so

00:00:48.199 --> 00:00:56.559
it'll be like that except with a different picture on it a very different

00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:56.559
picture on it a Black Ops 2 picture on

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

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

00:01:06.080 --> 00:01:12.680
we go it is as I said before pretty much

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

00:01:15.320 --> 00:01:23.720
that I have going on here Black Ops 2 qck looks pretty good

00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:27.280
right comes with a little steel series brochure about some of their other cool

00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:30.880
products including mice keyboards headsets all kinds of great stuff steel

00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:35.159
series sticker and that pretty much does it for that now this almost looks

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

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

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

00:01:45.600 --> 00:01:53.439
Black Ops 2 Edition Mouse Okay amb extra shape optimized for all types of gamer

00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:57.799
grips Palm claw and swipe gaming grade switches have a lifespan of 10 million

00:01:56.039 --> 00:02:01.200
clicks which is an awful lot of clicks although if you're some of those you

00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:05.039
know I don't know if you're Korean or something then you may actually need

00:02:03.240 --> 00:02:08.200
more clicks than that in the lifespan of a mouse because of you know actions per

00:02:06.600 --> 00:02:11.599
minute and whatnot you know what that would be a great calculation I would

00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:15.319
love for someone to run these numbers because it would be hilarious so take

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

00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:24.879
then figure out how long it would take them if they were playing constantly to

00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:29.160
actually use the left click 10 million times it' be just kind of hilarious

00:02:27.160 --> 00:02:34.519
let's find out what it would take to actually kill the switches on this mouse

00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:38.519
to the point where they they cannot operate anymore so there we go that's

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

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

00:02:45.239 --> 00:02:50.200
the scroll wheel back and CPI toggle

00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:53.159
eight ergonomically placed buttons seven programmable buttons supported by steel

00:02:51.959 --> 00:02:57.040
seies engine technology offering operation configuration customization

00:02:55.120 --> 00:03:01.440
and advanced macros across steel series peripherals so the counts the frames per

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

00:03:04.440 --> 00:03:10.159
remember guys steel series uses counts per inch because they find it actually

00:03:08.040 --> 00:03:14.040
gives a more accurate representation of how the mouse performs compared to DPI

00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:19.319
which is dots per inch 150 Ines per second is the uh the

00:03:17.519 --> 00:03:23.319
resolution I believe is the terminology for that guy acceleration is at up to 30

00:03:21.480 --> 00:03:28.080
G's lift instance is approximately 2 millimeters has eight buttons now steel

00:03:25.480 --> 00:03:32.239
Series has one of the best software configuration utilities that I have ever

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

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

00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:45.480
dog makes a gaming mouse it's actually not complicated I could I could get find

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

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

00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:56.720
that but the part where I'd have trouble is the software steel Series has

00:03:54.840 --> 00:04:01.680
advanced software functionality that allows you to turn on or off things like

00:03:58.640 --> 00:04:03.519
angle snapping things like uh correction

00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:07.120
for slight imperfections in your movement which I turn off because in

00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:10.640
gaming that stuff's totally useless if you're trying to make minute adjustments

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

00:04:13.040 --> 00:04:20.120
level of perfection that's exactly perfect for your style compared to other

00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:26.320
software that's out there so for cheaper or less sort of reputable peripherals

00:04:24.479 --> 00:04:29.479
you know what you're probably losing the value on the software that's probably

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

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

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

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

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

00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:57.600
it and I find this much more comfortable this feels a lot like my iari laser

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

00:04:58.960 --> 00:05:06.280
asked me my favorite mouse ever ever ever is the aari laser from steel series

00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:10.120
uh the Sensei has not displaced it because I am right-handed and I do like

00:05:08.039 --> 00:05:13.400
that right-handed ergonomic shape but what a lot of Gamers like about steel

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

00:05:15.440 --> 00:05:22.160
made it ambidextrous see I've seen ambidextrous mice that are ambidextrous

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

00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:29.880
go well that's not very ambidextrous at all because then left-handed players

00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:33.319
have no thumb buttons but steel series goes as far with the Sensei as to put

00:05:31.479 --> 00:05:37.319
two thumb buttons on either side both of which are completely programmable you

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

00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:43.639
programmed to do other things although correct me if I'm wrong on that one guys

00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:47.199
but this light turns on and off depending on which CPI profile you're

00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:50.880
using see I can demo that uh you can also change the lighting here here and

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

00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:57.400
like by default go ahead and plug this

00:05:55.639 --> 00:06:02.080
bad boy into the USB port see what happen ah looking good so

00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:05.319
you can change the color of that illuminated two there see that's what it

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

00:06:08.440 --> 00:06:14.919
it comes orange by default and gaming grade laser ah yes this is another thing

00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:20.000
pet peeve for mice and you know what I've seen even

00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:24.440
like even fairly reputable guys do this a mouse sensor is not all about how many

00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:27.680
dots per inch or counts per inch or acceleration blah blah blah blah blah

00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:32.360
all those specs in the world mean absolutely nothing until you plug it

00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:37.800
into a system and actually run a game on it um honestly I was really excited

00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:39.160
about the Logitech g600 super excited I

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

00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:48.120
stuff and then I plugged it into my computer and this it feels laggy how am

00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:52.479
I supposed to use it I've never encountered that with a steel series

00:06:49.440 --> 00:06:55.879
Mouse whether it's AK kinzu Zai Sensei

00:06:52.479 --> 00:06:58.120
iari laser or I mean probably this one

00:06:55.879 --> 00:07:01.639
given it's the same exact thing as this never encountered that before so the

00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:05.840
quality of the Optics they're using in here the actual lasers and the sensors

00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:11.199
and the processors and everything that they're doing has always been very

00:07:07.840 --> 00:07:14.120
consistent for me so there I Ando Ando o

00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:18.199
Ando steel series Mo thank you for watching and don't forget to subscribe
