Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2015 is brought to you by Phantom glass visit
store. phantom.in screen protectors out there
as well as hyperx now we reviewed the Rog Gladius not that long ago the first
2,000 HZ pulling rate Mouse there were some things we liked about it there were
some things that weren't quite perfect about it yet and we kind of said okay
well as Su still has some work to do on Mouse development but we're not counting
them out of the game here because it's a pretty darn good first effort well
they're following up with some additional stuff right off the Hop here
that looks pretty interesting so this one right here is the sea we're figuring
it's going to be around a $40 MSRP is
that sound about right I'm getting the kind of this sort of gesture it's going
to feature a 5,000 DPI sensor we don't know exactly which one but we do know
that it's Optical it's kind of a No Frills no gimmick Mouse on the surface
very similar to the very well regarded g100s in terms of the ergonomics and the
size and the weight as far as I can tell with this gigantic piece of Plexi
attached to it although it seems like it's pretty much in that neighborhood but it comes with some features that you
might not normally expect so it's got LED lighting on the back of it and it
also features upgradable socketed switches so while this one doesn't come
with Omron switches like the Gladius doeses you can swap them out if you want
very very easily but that's not the only Mouse they have coming this is the
sparta and this is where I need you guys to get involved because JJ personally
will be reading the comments on this video and taking your feedback back to
assus HQ when they decide on how to continue to develop this mouse so this
is going to be a wireless sort of MMO uh MOBA RPG type optimized Mouse so you've
got six programmable macro buttons on the side here you've got a couple more
to the left of the left click you've got your left and right click and then
you've got what appears to be either it's going to be a button is that going
to be a DPI switch Yeah that's going to be a DPI switch up here at the top you
will be able to use it in wired mode so all this sounds pretty it's going to
feature wireless charging which is pretty freaking cool so there's a little thing here it can sit on a stand it can
sit down flat but the big one that they don't know yet is they're still
evaluating three different sensors and
you know we don't know which way it's going to go it could be even laser or Optical so I want you guys to weigh in
what sensor would you like to see and bear in mind guys that there isn't a
laser sensor on the market that doesn't have inherent acceleration or other
anomalies if we want something that tracks one one we got to give them a
little prod in the right direction tell them we want an optical sensor that
doesn't feature any nonsense and just pure onetoone tracking ASUS please
deliver that for us guys let JJ know what you want to see speaking of
tracking they've got the Rog Wet Stone
mouse pad this is a little bit unique in that a it's textured and I kind of went
are you guys High because textured mouse pad mouse pads with Graphics these
things have been very terrible experiences for me in the past just
because tracking can often be very jittery and uneven over them they went
no no no no no hold on a second we actually revised this quite a few times
in order to get the distance or the the like the height difference between the
pattern and the and the valleys just right so that not only our mice but
other mice track just awesome across it
the other unique thing about this guy is that aside from the heat treated edges
that should prevent it from fraying this is the first silicone mouse pad so it's
not just your typical Rubber and cl cloth soft mouse mat it's silicone so
that means a couple of things number one is it should be much more durable and
number two is it's going to be completely resistant to spills even
liquids and odors so if you don't want a
stinky mouse pad then you might want to spend yourself uh probably in the
neighborhood of sort of 35 to 40 bucks on a wet stone low friction mouse pad
with uh durable anti-slip silicone base
intricate Mayan Mayan pattern surface minimizes friction Mayan patterned all
right I love you guys but sometimes your sometimes your marketing bullet points
are just silly um speaking of silly marketing Phantom glass decided to have
us tell you guys about how great their screen protectors are that's not silly
that makes a ton of sense so basically these are the clearest screen protectors
we've ever encountered they feel just like the glass that was already on your
phone they are scratch resistant and pretty much resistant to any kind of
ugliness you can put your phone in your pocket with your keys not worry about it
they're super easy to apply it's basically impossible to get a bubble
stuck under it and you can check them out at store.
phantom.of because they're made of the same Gorilla Glass that your phone
already has on the front of it that you can actually put third party cases like
this bumper that I have on without worrying about compatibility like with
other screen protectors where they might peel up at the edges also want to give a
shout out to hyperx thank you so much for allowing us to be here at the show
you guys can check out the YouTube channel it's youtube.com/ hyperx we'll
have both of those guys Linked In the video description so huge thanks for our
sponsors thanks to you guys and make sure you leave a comment we want an optical sensor in this not that I'm
leading you guys in One Direction or the other thanks for watching and don't
forget to subscribe so you don't miss any of our CES content
