WEBVTT 00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:03.680 - This mouse battery can last 400 hours. 00:00:03.680 --> 00:00:08.420 Do you know what you can do in 400 hours? You can walk around Manhattan, the entire Island, 00:00:08.420 --> 00:00:13.890 more than 16 times. That's insane, if you were running at 3.5 miles an hour 00:00:13.890 --> 00:00:18.550 for that entire 400 hours, you could eat 369 junior chickens 00:00:18.550 --> 00:00:23.480 and come out calorie neutral. That's how long 400 hours is. 00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:28.960 SteelSeries sponsored us to unbox the SteelSeries Rival 3 Wireless, 00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:32.450 which is the wireless uptake to their very successful Rival 3 mouse. 00:00:32.450 --> 00:00:35.640 I actually don't have that much experience with SteelSeries mice. 00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:39.860 I know that there's lots of pro gamers that use the Rival 310, like 00:00:39.860 --> 00:00:44.160 secretly in renewals on Chaos for Rainbow Six 00:00:44.160 --> 00:00:47.470 and they love it. And I've heard only good things about these mice. 00:00:47.470 --> 00:00:49.470 So inside the box, it's pretty standard. 00:00:50.956 --> 00:00:54.323 It's just a little cardboard holder, you get the mouse. And I love that. 00:00:54.323 --> 00:01:00.180 That's why they can offer this mouse at 49.99. That's an insane price for a good gaming mouse. 00:01:00.180 --> 00:01:04.440 It's got less than a millisecond delay, 1,000 Hertz polling rate, 00:01:04.440 --> 00:01:08.050 all the stuff you need from a gaming mouse. It's got the TrueMove Air Sensor, 00:01:08.050 --> 00:01:11.740 which is a variant on a PixArt 3369, I believe. 00:01:11.740 --> 00:01:14.900 So it's considered a flawless sensor, so you'll never have any problems. 00:01:14.900 --> 00:01:17.940 Oh, there's already batteries. As you can see, it's a pretty small mouse. 00:01:17.940 --> 00:01:21.400 I'd say it's comparable to like a 305, 00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:26.330 kind of a geo G-pro shape more than anything. You pull off this back plate, 00:01:26.330 --> 00:01:32.720 you get your two battery slots. This one can operate off, two triple A's or one. 00:01:32.720 --> 00:01:37.740 To get the 400 hours you need both. And they say that it's less than half with just one. 00:01:37.740 --> 00:01:41.890 But I'm concerned about weight. So I'm gonna operate it today with just one battery. 00:01:41.890 --> 00:01:45.240 Perfect, inside is the wireless dongle receiver 00:01:45.240 --> 00:01:48.860 for the proprietary Quantum 2.0 technology. 00:01:48.860 --> 00:01:52.390 That means that this mouse has 2.4 gigahertz technology 00:01:52.390 --> 00:01:56.940 so that it's basically the same as wired mouse. It's awesome, no delay. 00:01:56.940 --> 00:02:00.560 But it also has Bluetooth 5.0. So if you're traveling and you don't wanna bring the dongle, 00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:04.013 just connect it to any Bluetooth compliant device, you're good to go. 00:02:04.013 --> 00:02:09.910 So I really like that versatility, I think that's really nice. Sometimes mice that are ambidextrous don't really suit me. 00:02:09.910 --> 00:02:16.370 I find my palm just doesn't have a place to go. But these outward curves actually, I find very comfortable. 00:02:16.370 --> 00:02:20.550 I like to kinda have like a sorta palm sort of clog grip. 00:02:20.550 --> 00:02:23.730 So this works for me. I actually like this better than I thought I would. 00:02:23.730 --> 00:02:27.920 These buttons feel good. They're rated for 60 million clicks, which is really high. 00:02:27.920 --> 00:02:32.050 Often mice are rated for 20 million, so. They have little indentations on the buttons 00:02:32.050 --> 00:02:35.963 to kinda have your finger set in, but it never feels too much. 00:02:36.810 --> 00:02:40.880 Kind of can move around the mouse pretty easily. The buttons feel nice. 00:02:40.880 --> 00:02:45.860 The texture feels pretty good. If I have anything bad to say about these buttons, 00:02:45.860 --> 00:02:52.110 the sideburns are just a little bit small but that's just a preference thing. I like big chunky buttons for my big chunky thumb. 00:02:52.110 --> 00:02:57.110 These are, they're not too bad. You can, tell which one you're pressing. 00:02:57.110 --> 00:03:01.220 You can hit both at the same time if you need to. But I like the top buttons a little bit more. 00:03:01.220 --> 00:03:05.130 They have more play than on other mice I've used but 00:03:05.130 --> 00:03:09.850 nothing that would get in the way of getting your shots off. 00:03:09.850 --> 00:03:14.290 There's the little DPI indicator, there's the mouse wheel buttons, side buttons. 00:03:14.290 --> 00:03:17.790 This pleasant, comfortable shape that often doesn't work for me, 00:03:17.790 --> 00:03:21.130 but this one's actually doing pretty good. On the bottom is the glide pads. 00:03:21.130 --> 00:03:24.160 They're fairly big, doing their job. And then there's the switch. 00:03:24.160 --> 00:03:27.873 So you have your Bluetooth off and your 2.5 gigahertz. We're gonna be gaming. 00:03:27.873 --> 00:03:32.830 So we're going right to 2.4 gigahertz. For the 400 rated hours, you need both batteries. 00:03:32.830 --> 00:03:36.360 And you also need to turn on the power saving mode. So that means that 00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:40.000 your polling rate goes from a thousand to 125. That's not great for gaming, 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:45.700 but for everything else, for your work, for most games that aren't kind of reflex, that's fine. 00:03:45.700 --> 00:03:50.220 And 400 hours is pretty insane for a AAA battery. 00:03:50.220 --> 00:03:55.320 So now that the mouse is plugged in, you can see that there's the RGB on the scroll wheel. 00:03:55.320 --> 00:03:58.580 I think that's a smart choice for keeping the battery life good. 00:03:58.580 --> 00:04:01.900 You can have RGB everywhere, but that's obviously gonna eat away at your battery life. 00:04:01.900 --> 00:04:07.570 So let's see how much it weighs. So according to them, just the mouse is 84 grams, with a battery 95, 00:04:07.570 --> 00:04:12.800 and with two batteries, 101. But we're gonna test that for ourselves. 00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:16.240 Let's go zero batteries first, 82. 00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:19.260 It's lighter than they said. I'm into it, I'm into it. 00:04:19.260 --> 00:04:23.390 - [Jono] Dongle's not in there. - You don't want the dongle when you're operating it. 00:04:25.020 --> 00:04:28.860 92, why would they wait with the dongle? Don't they wanna make it seem 00:04:28.860 --> 00:04:32.960 the lightest it could possibly to be? - [Jono] They wanna be honest. 00:04:32.960 --> 00:04:38.040 - And then 102. So, that's a pretty light wireless gaming mouse. 00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:41.740 At this price point, that's pretty untouchable 'cause even a 305, 00:04:41.740 --> 00:04:45.410 is more expensive than this. And so if it performs well, 00:04:45.410 --> 00:04:49.510 if I have no issues with it, I like the shape. Good sensor, good buttons. 00:04:49.510 --> 00:04:54.930 Let's take a look at what this mouse looks like inside of the SteelSeries engine software. 00:04:54.930 --> 00:04:57.950 Wow, there is so many more settings than I expected. 00:04:57.950 --> 00:05:02.130 This is awesome. Man, this is like a tinker's dream. 00:05:02.130 --> 00:05:06.150 Very impressed. You can customize all the buttons, very nice. 00:05:06.150 --> 00:05:08.483 You can turn on Bluetooth mode if you want. 00:05:09.320 --> 00:05:12.560 You have your different profiles. You can save up to five profiles on the mice. 00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:17.050 You can switch between computers and have that saved, which is just a lifesaver sometimes. 00:05:17.050 --> 00:05:20.480 You can adjust in increments of 100 DPI. 00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:24.030 You have a sleep timer. I found it really aggressive. 00:05:24.030 --> 00:05:27.130 So I'm gonna raise it a little bit. You can turn on high efficiency mode, 00:05:27.130 --> 00:05:30.140 which would lower the polling rate and 00:05:30.140 --> 00:05:35.330 give you that 400 hours of battery life. But, I'm a gamer. I want to live life hard. 00:05:35.330 --> 00:05:39.350 Live, and die hard. So you have your polling rates. 00:05:39.350 --> 00:05:44.180 I'm gonna keep it at a thousand. You can change your acceleration and deceleration but, 00:05:44.180 --> 00:05:48.640 if you're a true gamer, you turn all that off. You want that raw input. 00:05:48.640 --> 00:05:52.040 Feels smooth, feels like a modern mouse. 00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:53.140 I like the feel of it. 00:05:59.130 --> 00:06:03.130 Yeah, this feels pretty good. When I lift and slide, 00:06:03.130 --> 00:06:05.933 it doesn't feel like I'm having any issues. 00:06:06.940 --> 00:06:11.940 It's like one of those mice you just put it in your hand and you're like, "Yeah, that feels good." And then you start going and it goes. 00:06:11.940 --> 00:06:14.413 I'm a pretty pleased with the feeling of this. 00:06:15.940 --> 00:06:20.520 Huh, so far I'm getting a pretty good game feel for this. 00:06:20.520 --> 00:06:23.760 Snapping onto heads, I'm not hating this at all. 00:06:23.760 --> 00:06:27.550 Overall, I really like this mouse, it feels good in the hand, 00:06:27.550 --> 00:06:31.890 I like the buttons. It moves the way I want. The sensor's good. 00:06:31.890 --> 00:06:36.780 If the price is extremely right, if I was making a roundup of mice, 00:06:36.780 --> 00:06:41.690 this would definitely be a contender for a great value proposition. 00:06:41.690 --> 00:06:45.340 And if you need a big mouse, you have huge hands, this might not be the right fit for you. 00:06:45.340 --> 00:06:51.020 But if you want a smaller mouse, something that's portable that you can take with you for work for gaming, 00:06:51.020 --> 00:06:55.650 has smart design, pretty darn light, this is a really good mouse. 00:06:55.650 --> 00:07:00.780 I would definitely recommend it. So thanks to SteelSeries for sponsoring this ShortCircuit. 00:07:00.780 --> 00:07:05.310 You can check out this mouse at the link below, or check out any of the other Short Circuits 00:07:05.310 --> 00:07:06.933 that I've covered mice on, 00:07:08.520 --> 00:07:12.870 and goodbye. - [Jono] Bye bye, beard. - Oh, I don't have a beard. 00:07:12.870 --> 00:07:17.080 I forgot about that. Yeah, I shaved it this weekend. Here's the thing, I know that at some point 00:07:17.080 --> 00:07:20.100 Linus is gonna have to shave it. And if I shaved it after Linus, 00:07:20.100 --> 00:07:23.193 people will be like, "you're just copying him." So getting ahead of the curve.
