this is the rog keras wireless and ASUS sponsored this video looking at what
might be one of the most interesting high performance slash
mobile gaming mice on the market
it's using a paw 3335 sensor which means
you get high-end specs like 16 000 dpi sensitivity
along with excellent tracking characteristics but
unlike the bmw 3389 which is pixar's top
of the line sensor meant to compete with logitech's hero sensor
this one is lower power consumption making it suitable
for well wireless applications so you can see it's a tri-mode mouse basically
you've got 2.4 gigahertz wireless i have no idea
what the power indicator means i guess we'll figure that out soon enough maybe it
means wired mode and then you've also got bluetooth and
what's really impressive about this thing is that in spite of the fact that
it's only 79 grams and it's a wireless mouse that boasts
about 80 hours of battery life without the leds on
and about 60 hours with the leds on they've managed to implement usb
type c you still do see a lot of even modern mice that are using usb micro b
and the reason for it is that it decreases the complexity of the
electronics in the mouse and usb type c is not strictly speaking
necessary for a mouse so it's an easy way that you can save a little bit of
cost and save a little bit of weight personally i'm really happy to see usbc
though because it is a wireless mouse and it is something that you're going to be plugging in regularly to charge
so it's nice to not have to you know peek around and
see which way it needs to go in you just pop it in like that and boom
you're ready to go on the bottom we've got the typical slippy pads
and a dpi as well as pairing button and
this is really nice can i just take a moment
here's a hot take for you guys any wireless product that does not have
a place to dock the dongle is trash
and should be thrown in the trash i'm sorry is it not true
it's 100 true because the reality of it is
that even though the vast majority of the time i'm going to be using this
mouse it's going to be at my gaming pc where there's no risk of me losing anything
every once in a while i might travel somewhere or use it with my laptop or
lend it to somebody and if there's no safe secure place to
put it that is just a completely unnecessary
and stupid way to destroy an otherwise perfectly good
product or if not destroy at least add a whole bunch of cost and
hassle trying to replace the wireless dongle
the cord that ASUS includes is a really nice paracord cord which is sort of
unusual for a wireless mouse usually they go with something
just kind of basic because the assumption is you'll be using it
wireless the vast majority of the time but hey they didn't do that and in terms
of other pertinent specs it operates at a thousand hertz and
i don't know is anything else relevant you can use their aura software to control the RGB
it's really light and if you're kind of like somewhere in between either you
have really small hands and you like a palm grip like me or you have small to medium
hands and you prefer more of like a claw grip i think you're going to find it pretty comfortable on the left side
you've got forward and back buttons your scroll wheel is clickable but other than that
it's pretty basic in terms of your inputs the features are more about the
wireless connectivity and performance now this is fun though it actually comes
with extra switches if you prefer a different feel in your
gaming mouse check this out oh yeah replacement slippy pads too let's go ahead and
figure out what the process is for swapping these out can i just pop this up you can learn all
kinds of useful things from manuals okay jono like for example like you can press
this button combination to go to breathing and this one to go to color cycle except
i think it's in you know connection mode hey there you go see it's working
working as intended replacing the hood oh gosh darn it i need a screwdriver
i was mostly just curious but now i feel like i'm committed to it
it's pretty nice to be able to replace these not just because it allows you to
fine tune the feel of the mouse for your preference but also because your click particularly
your left click is the most likely point in a mouse to
fail other than maybe the scroll wheel so having the
option to just swap it out like that it's pretty sweet
i cannot figure out how the hell to get this back on
see it's gotta go kind of in like oh yeah there we go okay
interesting okay so you can really hear the difference now that they're both in the mouse
so that's the omron that's the rog
so if you want more of a traditional mouse feel then you want the omron one
and if you want that really kind of tight clicky feel then
the rog switch might appeal to you i'll stick with the rog switch i'm gonna
give it a chance oh this is hilarious i didn't even notice you can put color
accented side buttons on are you rolling right now they've got pink ones okay
that is awesome all right jono insists i
not talk entirely about the pink buttons and nothing else and
also address the RGB so let's launch armory crate then shall we
okay so you can go oh wow reactive what does that do
there you go so it like reacts when you click it that's cute
of course there's other stuff you can configure here like your lift off distance your
power settings so you can tell when to go to sleep and when to alert you with
the lights it'll start flashing red when the battery is low you can update firmware
and of course change all of your dpi intervals adjust angle snapping and all
that good stuff all of this looks fine already anyway so may i play video
games now thanks you know what by the time this
video goes up we're going to be very close to these desk pads being back in
stock and i couldn't help noticing this mouse tracks excellently on it
all right here we go master chef when you're playing on legendary difficulty
but the game is designed for like a controller can you change weapons again ah tab oh
whoa whoa yeah that's switching back to the old original
graphics wow it looks so bad yeah you don't realize how bad it was until you
look at something kind of modern looking by comparison the strongest weapon
oh my god i died
where's my allies here they all died
oh get out of here
i don't even care anymore not going to blame the mouse mouse is fine thanks for
watching ShortCircuit i'm out of here
