00:00:00,919 --> 00:00:08,320
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the g500s from Logitech now I've checked

2
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:12,000
out the g400s and the g100s and quite frankly this is the one that I'm

3
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:16,160
genuinely excited about because there's some Logitech features that I really

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:20,480
felt were missing from the other ones that I guess you just got to kind of you

5
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:24,880
got to pay to play and if you wanted to get access to them you had to go for the

6
00:00:22,359 --> 00:00:29,160
premium g500s so let's take a look at the overall specs really quick so it

7
00:00:26,599 --> 00:00:33,320
does everywhere from 200 to 8200 DPI this is a laser Mouse and it is serious

8
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:37,719
business about the dpis I mean I don't think you'll ever really use 8200 DPI

9
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:43,440
but if you wanted to this mouse is capable of uh actually getting a useful

10
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:46,800
input if it's traveling at 4 meters per second which if you think of it in terms

11
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:50,640
of like if you're a low sensitivity gamer and you were going four meters per

12
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:55,559
second to do like a turn you'd have to basically go like you'd have to like

13
00:00:52,879 --> 00:00:59,480
jump and spin in order to actually trip this mouse out and have it not work so

14
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:04,400
there you go uh up to 1,000 reports per second which is the maximum USB is

15
00:01:01,199 --> 00:01:06,080
capable of Max acceleration of 30 G's 20

16
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:10,320
million clicks is what the buttons are rated for and the feet are rated for 250

17
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:16,479
km now I kind of mocked them with the 250 km in my G5 or g400s unboxing and I

18
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:21,280
was like well do they mean on ashalt or do they mean on uh a piece of glass but

19
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:26,159
it looks like they've actually thought of that tested on wood veneer desktop so

20
00:01:24,159 --> 00:01:31,119
they actually tested it before they rated it for how long it's actually

21
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,759
going to to go for for so there you go I thought I thought that was interesting

22
00:01:32,399 --> 00:01:37,360
if nothing else so the first Mouse I ever used with adjustable weights was a

23
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:42,560
Logitech mouse and I really felt like that feature separates it in terms of

24
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:49,360
customizability from the other things on the market I mean nowadays a lot of mice

25
00:01:45,119 --> 00:01:52,200
have adjustable weights or like you know

26
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:57,240
adjustable you know wrist straps or whatever kinds of adjustable things that

27
00:01:54,079 --> 00:01:59,880
go on but for me personally I would

28
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:04,680
rather find a mouse that is truly sculped in the shape that I want and

29
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:08,520
then I can tune the weight because that's the thing that matters most to me

30
00:02:06,759 --> 00:02:12,680
so they've gone with the sort of classic Logitech weight system which is a

31
00:02:10,599 --> 00:02:17,200
cartridge that loads in from the back at the

32
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:20,360
rear get it cartridge loads okay never mind uh so there's a cartridge that

33
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:25,160
loads in here which is where we found the the battery insert for the old G7 uh

34
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:28,239
which I still have one of kicking around somewhere and then there's a little

35
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:33,840
eject button right there that kicks it out uh the not the slippy feet on the

36
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,080
bottom are at the front side and back

37
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:40,040
and let's go ahead and get these opened up I'm going to need a minute for that though so the mouse is lightweight

38
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:45,879
without feeling cheap and it really doesn't it feels very solidly built um

39
00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:48,040
however you can add up to whatever 9 *

40
00:02:45,879 --> 00:02:53,959
three you can add up to 27 G to the mouse which will put it at the heavier

41
00:02:50,159 --> 00:02:56,040
end of uh of mice and then what you can

42
00:02:53,959 --> 00:02:59,120
also do is you can adjust where you want the weight so if you put more of the

43
00:02:57,519 --> 00:03:02,360
weight towards the front you'll have a bit more of a front heavy Mouse what I

44
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:07,319
would probably do personally is I'd load more of the weight towards the back so

45
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,799
that I can more easily move this way

46
00:03:07,319 --> 00:03:13,159
which is the way that I tend to use my mouse even though it's sort of bad for your wrist and you're not really

47
00:03:11,319 --> 00:03:17,159
supposed to do that so logitech's whole thing with the new G Series is their

48
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:20,400
science winds branding where they're talking about the Advanced Materials

49
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:25,400
that they're using on the mouse now the difference between the g500s and the

50
00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:27,720
g400s in aside from the fact that this

51
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:33,519
is using a gaming grade laser sensor as opposed to the optical sensor in the

52
00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:35,519
g400 is that the grippy sides feel more

53
00:03:33,519 --> 00:03:40,280
rugged and they feel more robust on the g500s like I actually don't think I can

54
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:43,959
scratch any of this off even if I go straight at it with a fingernail this

55
00:03:41,799 --> 00:03:48,840
was the one complaint I had about the G9 which was otherwise my second favorite

56
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:51,439
mouse ever cuz it's awesome was that

57
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:56,040
like the the anti-slip coating just came off um about a year into owning it and I

58
00:03:54,439 --> 00:04:00,200
really just I don't feel like this would happen with this but it's impossible to

59
00:03:58,239 --> 00:04:04,120
say without waiting a little bit a little bit longer so other Logitech

60
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:09,720
features that I feel very strongly about this guy right here the unlocked scroll

61
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:11,720
wheel love to see that implemented it's

62
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:16,120
things like back and forward buttons unlock scroll wheel uh outstanding

63
00:04:14,439 --> 00:04:20,239
Precision that really set a mouse apart from another one so all you have to do

64
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:24,600
see that so you can probably you can hear there's actual clicks to the mouse

65
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:29,120
wheel now you go ahead and press this and it disengages the

66
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:33,360
gear and it spins freely so it's great for scrolling through long documents I

67
00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:37,520
actually used my G9 at work almost exclusively because of that because I

68
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:40,919
was often in Long Excel documents but the problem with the G9 is the button

69
00:04:38,759 --> 00:04:44,240
was on the bottom which is not as good as having the button right here where

70
00:04:42,479 --> 00:04:47,600
you can decide what mode do I want to be in and you can change it on the Fly

71
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:53,199
you've also got DPI changing buttons here back forward as well as another

72
00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:56,720
programmable button here on the side uh

73
00:04:53,199 --> 00:04:59,120
looks like yep we've got DPI indications

74
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:03,160
here so that has one two three settings and you can PR all of that in the

75
00:05:00,919 --> 00:05:05,720
Logitech software I just want to see if there's anything that I forgot that I

76
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:11,080
wanted to say I don't know if I mentioned the 3year warranty already but

77
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:12,440
there you go and I think that's pretty

78
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:18,000
much it oh yeah you can reprogram all the buttons If you want and unlike the

79
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:20,280
g100s and the g400s the cable is braided

80
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:26,479
so it's got that premium braided look and it is less susceptible to damage

81
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:29,280
from caps I've actually had cables saved

82
00:05:26,479 --> 00:05:31,880
um from cats vibrating so there you go it's a thing

83
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:36,319
