WEBVTT

00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:06.799
it's not often that i come into a video with this little preparation one of our

00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:10.480
writers read a tweet somewhere and insisted

00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:14.960
that we check out the 007

00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:20.720
natural born player i am so certain that they do not have permission to use that

00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:20.720
logo right there

00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:36.239
synergy allows you to share your mouse and keyboard between multiple computers

00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:43.160
at once check it out now at the link in the video description

00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:43.160
natural born player from company

00:00:44.239 --> 00:00:50.640
is why he wants me to check it out so the new writer's name is james but i

00:00:48.559 --> 00:00:55.600
always refer to him as that donkey behind his back so the brand is james

00:00:53.680 --> 00:01:00.399
donkey and that's a donkey bit

00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:04.559
so the double 07 comes with this uh schematic manual thing we'll check that

00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:06.879
out in more depth later it comes with a uh

00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:13.360
okay so there's enough english on this for me to understand that it is indeed a

00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:16.640
warranty card but not enough for me to have any idea what the rest of these

00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:20.640
instructions are where you're supposed to send it

00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:24.479
nothing nothing like that do you get the impression they added

00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:30.159
like this huge thing of cardboard here

00:01:27.759 --> 00:01:34.880
to make it seem like more premium than it is

00:01:32.240 --> 00:01:37.439
the packaging feels a lot cheaper now anyway

00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:43.360
and then this this is the big shtick with the double

00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:46.880
07 mouse it comes with swappable parts

00:01:43.360 --> 00:01:49.200
for the back right left and

00:01:46.880 --> 00:01:52.479
even the bottom apparently well

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:55.920
maybe we need the instructions so i guess this thing's kind of like the

00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:59.840
ikea of mice and that the instructions aren't particularly descriptive i mean

00:01:57.600 --> 00:02:05.439
they're okay take the thing off and put the thing on got it and in that there is

00:02:02.479 --> 00:02:10.720
some assembly required got it so it actually comes with a variety of

00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:16.720
different options for everything from the base chassis of the mouse to the

00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:18.800
left right and buttock of the mouse so

00:02:16.720 --> 00:02:24.560
let's start then by having a look at the base so you got two different ones this

00:02:21.040 --> 00:02:26.640
guy has plastic slippy pads four of them

00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:31.599
and this guy whoop there we go has three metal ones i

00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:37.280
can't imagine any reason that you would want metal pads on the bottom of your

00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:39.920
mouse and i also can't imagine any reason that you would want a bunch of

00:02:39.920 --> 00:02:46.239
corrosion wow that is grody what happened there

00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:51.280
not gross anyway the pieces snap on

00:02:48.720 --> 00:02:55.120
as though by can i do it can i do the base toss

00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:02.840
gaming mouse trick shots this is the behind the scenes stuff that

00:03:00.959 --> 00:03:05.519
you never see in a dude perfect video yeah

00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:12.159
and then everyone celebrates everyone's celebrating silently come on make some

00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:16.480
noise all right so we've switched to the metal

00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:20.959
base sure whatever let's try the metal base now let's have a look at our other

00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:25.040
options so for the left wing there's like uh this is like hockey we got the

00:03:22.480 --> 00:03:29.440
left wing the right wing and the uh i think they call them defensemen in

00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:33.040
hockey but but the rear the rear okay so three different lengths you've got the

00:03:30.799 --> 00:03:36.159
long rear you got the medium-sized rear and you got the tight rear i'm going to

00:03:34.480 --> 00:03:40.640
go with the tight rear because i think we can all tell that uh that's that's

00:03:38.720 --> 00:03:43.680
that's what i'm into so let's go ahead and throw that on there

00:03:42.239 --> 00:03:49.120
then this is cool so these all go on with

00:03:45.440 --> 00:03:52.159
magnets as well you can pick between

00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:54.239
so let me have a look here

00:03:52.159 --> 00:04:00.080
okay neat so i see how this works so you've got three different sizes of kind

00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:05.120
of like your your thumb your thumb scoop here you see that so we got the baby

00:04:02.480 --> 00:04:09.280
bear we got the mama bear and we got the papa bear so uh i'm actually going to go

00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:13.599
with the mama bear because i like the idea of having a

00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:16.959
sniper button over here even if i don't need like a massive

00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:20.959
thumb rest it should be noted though the papa bear actually also has the sniper

00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:26.080
button in a different location if you prefer to press it here but i find that

00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:30.160
quite a bit more awkward okay our assembly is nearly complete

00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:34.240
we've got the right wing and these ones have the coolest names this one right

00:04:32.400 --> 00:04:38.639
here is the general

00:04:36.479 --> 00:04:43.560
then we've got hunk

00:04:40.320 --> 00:04:43.560
and finally

00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:49.840
you know what they say hold my finger

00:04:50.880 --> 00:04:57.759
oh i got nothing right now wow this is really confusing to

00:04:55.360 --> 00:05:03.040
configure four gear adjustable dpi among six

00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:07.759
hundred one thousand two thousand thirty six hundred eighty two hundred

00:05:05.440 --> 00:05:11.720
that's five then

00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:16.560
making matters worse configuration light

00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:21.840
the quantity of the lights represents six different modes

00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:25.360
is it four five or six i still haven't figured out exactly how

00:05:23.919 --> 00:05:29.280
these buttons work but i've got it at 500 dpi that feels pretty good i have

00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:36.400
one more complaint and that is that this scale doesn't make

00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:36.400
any sense it goes up to 8 200.

00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:44.240
seventy 6500 7500 what seventy six hundred

00:05:42.320 --> 00:05:46.400
what is this

00:05:46.400 --> 00:05:52.639
maybe some gaming will make me feel better and of course the game is shut

00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:55.919
down now yes

00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:58.639
why is it doing first time setup we had this open before

00:05:57.440 --> 00:06:03.360
you know the funny thing is these instructions actually looked okay

00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:07.039
at first glance but now i'm getting to some

00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:11.520
really crappy stuff i mean it tells me to refer to the driver settings but it

00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:14.639
doesn't come with anything in the box can i even download these

00:06:16.960 --> 00:06:24.160
oh this is not a good sign jamesdonkey.com

00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:28.800
doesn't have any english oh wait here we go here we go here we go

00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:34.160
english site oh man

00:06:31.280 --> 00:06:38.080
i mean that's sort of english deduce the fingertips of waltz

00:06:38.479 --> 00:06:44.080
what so we've got two straight product shots

00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:50.400
three then we've got not english then we've

00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:51.240
got that okay you know what that's fine

00:06:50.400 --> 00:06:56.960
the mou-007 here we go

00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:58.319
oh my god when you try and scroll down

00:06:56.960 --> 00:07:01.800
the page it's a slideshow

00:07:02.080 --> 00:07:09.120
why who thought this was a good idea

00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:12.240
omron switches though very nice 20 million click life i'm pretty sure

00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:17.599
they're only talking about these two though download driver and support more

00:07:15.039 --> 00:07:21.520
self-definition function i needed more self-definition in my life so we got the

00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:26.560
software working we got the firmware updated and check this out

00:07:24.400 --> 00:07:32.720
what that worked a second

00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:37.039
okay the contact there is not great okay i'm sort of figuring some things

00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:43.759
out there's more cool stuff in here i think

00:07:40.400 --> 00:07:46.240
so there's a vibration switch

00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:50.000
there's a vibration time and then there's a boot time start

00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:54.639
vibration effect i don't know what that means

00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:58.879
okay we think we figured it out

00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:04.960
in order to get vibration working you have to give up your RGB lighting

00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:06.639
because that's why this one's heavier

00:08:04.960 --> 00:08:10.160
there we go all right that's actually kind of

00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:13.840
uncomfortable but uh you know hey whatever you're into

00:08:11.440 --> 00:08:13.840
you hear that

00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:21.840
if the idea was like um recoil or something then i will tell you

00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:25.599
the experience falls a little flat

00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:30.800
it feels like a happy mouse happy mouse in your hand it's actually

00:08:27.919 --> 00:08:34.479
kind of distracting and annoying wait it it's not working anymore

00:08:34.560 --> 00:08:40.760
there oh i think it managed to vibrate itself

00:08:37.760 --> 00:08:40.760
loose

00:08:42.800 --> 00:08:49.680
wow they're awful okay so we've got the software mostly figured out vibration

00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:52.560
only works with the vibrating bass RGB lighting only works with the RGB

00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:57.200
lighting base and the modes

00:08:55.120 --> 00:09:00.959
so i still can't figure out how these configs work you click on them it takes

00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:04.880
you back to the sign in you go back to here and it's an endless

00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:10.160
loop there's no there's no option to create configs but that's the difference

00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:12.880
between the modes and the dpi button the

00:09:10.160 --> 00:09:16.880
modes are onboard programmable memory for all of this crap

00:09:14.560 --> 00:09:20.640
is at least my understanding i cannot validate that so now

00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:24.160
let's go ahead and try a game

00:09:22.560 --> 00:09:28.959
ed oh good can i borrow you

00:09:27.040 --> 00:09:35.440
this mouse has given me a horrible headache i need you to tell me if it's

00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:38.480
any good oh no go go go go go go ahead

00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:40.720
whoa okay what now now you're into it

00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:40.720
right

00:09:43.680 --> 00:09:49.600
interesting and then like it's not tied into the game that would be cool if it was tied

00:09:47.920 --> 00:09:54.560
into the game because like if the shots were actually going

00:09:52.880 --> 00:09:59.839
instead of just like pressing

00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:02.720
activating yeah now it feels cheap

00:09:59.839 --> 00:10:06.959
this is like a terribly terribly cheap implementation

00:10:04.560 --> 00:10:09.600
for force feedback but like it's kind of fun

00:10:09.760 --> 00:10:16.560
all right thank you okay but ed subjectivity aside let's

00:10:13.920 --> 00:10:19.839
find out if this thing is any good so the first thing we need to do is move

00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:25.200
ten centimeters hey so the dpi we set is correct a thousand

00:10:23.920 --> 00:10:32.240
dpi then we can test to see what its maximum

00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:38.160
max counter and max speed are by basically

00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:38.160
moving it as fast as you can

00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:48.640
oh i got like rug burn on my finger

00:10:46.640 --> 00:10:54.560
it's shiny okay so max speed is four meters per

00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:58.079
second and max counter is 376 points

00:10:54.560 --> 00:11:00.640
with a pulling rate of about 500 hertz

00:10:58.079 --> 00:11:04.320
okay resolution okay speed excellent

00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:07.920
so i think we're ready for the overall conclusion

00:11:05.760 --> 00:11:11.920
at the regular price which is around 50 bucks for the white one

00:11:09.839 --> 00:11:17.279
i think there's better options out there from the likes of logitech you don't get

00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:21.360
all of the sort of modular doodads and vibration motors and stuff like that but

00:11:19.040 --> 00:11:25.040
quite frankly most of it feels pretty gimmicky however if you're

00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:31.120
willing to settle for one of the other color ones at like 25

00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:36.480
in terms of the raw performance of this thing it's not bad if you don't mind a

00:11:34.160 --> 00:11:41.360
mouse that's on the heavier side and that is also a little bit on the larger

00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:44.560
side it's too big for my hands but given that mine are well below average i

00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:46.800
suspect most of you will probably be fine

00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:55.360
synergy is a software download that solves the ultimate first world problem

00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:59.120
of having too many computers and having a desk that's covered in

00:11:56.959 --> 00:12:04.800
keyboards and mice to control them it allows you to share one mouse and

00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:06.720
keyboard between two or more computers

00:12:04.800 --> 00:12:11.680
so you'll never get confused which one is which and which one goes to what one

00:12:08.800 --> 00:12:15.760
they offer a basic and pro option with a one-time payment for lifetime access and

00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:19.360
features include things like clipboard sharing drag and dropping files between

00:12:17.680 --> 00:12:24.160
the computers the ability to set up hotkeys and more you can even use

00:12:21.920 --> 00:12:29.279
