welcome to my unboxing and first look at the rockat cone xtd they're calling this
their Max customization gaming mouse now in terms of the actual performance and
hardware specs it's not that different from something like a cone plus however
the shape of the mouse is different and the customization is quite different so
the first thing we're going to do is actually just whip open the box while we
tell you some of the general specs so it has an 8200 DPI Pro R3 grade sensor so
that's pretty much as high as it goes these days for gaming mice it's got
eight buttons however it does feature rockat shift plus which allows you to
use one of the buttons as a shift key and then assign additional functionality
to all of the other buttons it has 576 kiloby of onboard memory allowing you to
store a butt ton of profiles and macros and all that stuff that you'd want to do
to have the mouse be as customizable as you could desire and unlike the cone uh
what's it called cone pure I think I called it plus before unlike the cone
pure it has
check this out these lighting strips now
this is hard to demo without actually plugging it into something so we could
probably we could probably we'll plug it into something in a moment but I'll show you guys the box you can actually set it
up so there's four customizable LEDs so that you have different colors that
blend into each other and these are these are multicolor LEDs so you can set
them to any color of the rainbow you'd want and then have the mouse look like
whatever you want now you can have it even change dynamic Al on the fly so
using rockats software you can say okay well you know I'm being attacked so the
mouse should glow red instead of a different color or poisoned it should go
green and not everyone stares at their Mouse while they're gaming in fact I think most people don't but it's still a
neat kind of thing to have let's show you what the ergonomics look like so
this is a right-handed ergonomically shaped Mouse it is significantly bigger
bigger than the cone Pier so you can see the size difference right there where
the cone Pier is almost a claw Mouse for me this one there there's no way I'd be
able to claw grip it this is more of a this is more of a palm Mouse for me
however if we took someone with larger hands such as my handy that he's here
filming assistant slick you can see that that's that's way better right I don't
think you could Palm that though could you it's like a little bit small little
little bit too small for baseball glove sized hands to Palm but you can you can
easily you can easily uh claw that right
okay so there you go has eight buttons compared to the seven on the on the cone
Pierce so we'll show you where the buttons are these these back and forward
buttons are totally a must these days it's got a profile button here well
remember you can program them to do whatever you want it's got a left and right sliding scroll wheel so up down
click left right uh more profile switching these are probably for DPI
switching by default you can tell from the uh labels on them but you can change
them to whatever you want and then remember guys you can hold down
shift and press any other button on the mouse and
program that to whatever you actually want it to do now the cone uh xtd also
has a weight system which is another thing that the pier doesn't have so
we're going to go ahead and open those up so you've got four 5 G weights that
you can easily put inside the mouse using the unlockable thing on the bottom
here let's just go ahead and okay oh apparently it's already open there so
you can put as many or as few as you want I wouldn't have minded seeing them
more towards the center of the mouse but I guess it's not the end of the world
they stick in there just fine on their own but you can go ahead and uh lock
them into place should you so desire on the bottom we see the 8200 DPI laser
sensor as well as the Teflon slippy pads
I do prefer to see a layout like what we saw on the cone pier where the top ones
are one large piece rather than two separated pieces cuz sometimes there can
be issues with these uh these ones coming off I'm not saying rockats not
using uh as whoops an adequate adhesive
I'm just saying that I've had it happen in the past with other mice so there you
go take that for what it is and let's go ahead and plug this in oh there we go I
got that locked into place now so this seems fitting taking some sort of their
ultimate customization gaming mouse and putting it next to the ultimate single
GPU gaming graphics card and I'm going to go get my cheat sheet that has any
other notes that I wanted to talk about on the mouse so oh yeah the mouse
features rocket talk oh it looks like it probably oh I plugged it into a USB 3
Port I don't know if we have the drivers installed for that no okay there we go
so that might work so it has rocket talk which actually allows it to work in
conjunction with other rocket items such as keyboards that feature rocket talk
giving you kind of like um like bonuses to functionality based on using matching
gear like an MMO inspired kind of thing it does feature their
tdcu uh which is basically a configurable like intelligent way of
controlling your lift distance and making sure that it doesn't just shift
all over the place unnecessarily uh when you're trying to lift the mouse up when
you reach the end of the mouse pad and
yeah that's good get a good shot of me like cheating on my uh rocket
achievements right so there's a there's an app that tracks your usage of the
mouse and allows you to get achievements like Sultan of scroll if you scroll a
lot and sort of cool stuff like that and I think that's pretty much
it that lighting effect looks really good so you can see there's four LEDs
one here here here and here and those are multicolor LED systems so you can
actually have colors blend together in the middle or you can just do solid
colors the way that we have it configured right now I want to just boost up the it's much brighter than it
looks in the uh camera oh oh oh that's shutter
speed okay why don't you do it
slick there you go boost up the okay that's more like true to life now it's
quite bright I think that pretty pretty much wraps it up thank you for checking
