00:00:00.919 --> 00:00:08.320
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the g500s from Logitech now I've checked

00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:12.000
out the g400s and the g100s and quite frankly this is the one that I'm

00:00:10.360 --> 00:00:16.160
genuinely excited about because there's some Logitech features that I really

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

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

00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:29.160
premium g500s so let's take a look at the overall specs really quick so it

00:00:26.599 --> 00:00:33.320
does everywhere from 200 to 8200 DPI this is a laser Mouse and it is serious

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

00:00:35.680 --> 00:00:43.440
but if you wanted to this mouse is capable of uh actually getting a useful

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

00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:50.640
of like if you're a low sensitivity gamer and you were going four meters per

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

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

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

00:01:01.199 --> 00:01:06.080
capable of Max acceleration of 30 G's 20

00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:10.320
million clicks is what the buttons are rated for and the feet are rated for 250

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

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

00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:26.159
it looks like they've actually thought of that tested on wood veneer desktop so

00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:31.119
they actually tested it before they rated it for how long it's actually

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

00:01:32.399 --> 00:01:37.360
if nothing else so the first Mouse I ever used with adjustable weights was a

00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:42.560
Logitech mouse and I really felt like that feature separates it in terms of

00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:49.360
customizability from the other things on the market I mean nowadays a lot of mice

00:01:45.119 --> 00:01:52.200
have adjustable weights or like you know

00:01:49.360 --> 00:01:57.240
adjustable you know wrist straps or whatever kinds of adjustable things that

00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:59.880
go on but for me personally I would

00:01:57.240 --> 00:02:04.680
rather find a mouse that is truly sculped in the shape that I want and

00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:08.520
then I can tune the weight because that's the thing that matters most to me

00:02:06.759 --> 00:02:12.680
so they've gone with the sort of classic Logitech weight system which is a

00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:17.200
cartridge that loads in from the back at the

00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:20.360
rear get it cartridge loads okay never mind uh so there's a cartridge that

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

00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:28.239
which I still have one of kicking around somewhere and then there's a little

00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:33.840
eject button right there that kicks it out uh the not the slippy feet on the

00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:35.080
bottom are at the front side and back

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

00:02:38.040 --> 00:02:45.879
without feeling cheap and it really doesn't it feels very solidly built um

00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:48.040
however you can add up to whatever 9 *

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

00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:56.040
end of uh of mice and then what you can

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

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

00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:07.319
would probably do personally is I'd load more of the weight towards the back so

00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:08.799
that I can more easily move this way

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

00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:17.159
supposed to do that so logitech's whole thing with the new G Series is their

00:03:15.200 --> 00:03:20.400
science winds branding where they're talking about the Advanced Materials

00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:25.400
that they're using on the mouse now the difference between the g500s and the

00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:27.720
g400s in aside from the fact that this

00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:33.519
is using a gaming grade laser sensor as opposed to the optical sensor in the

00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:35.519
g400 is that the grippy sides feel more

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

00:03:38.760 --> 00:03:43.959
scratch any of this off even if I go straight at it with a fingernail this

00:03:41.799 --> 00:03:48.840
was the one complaint I had about the G9 which was otherwise my second favorite

00:03:45.760 --> 00:03:51.439
mouse ever cuz it's awesome was that

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

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

00:03:58.239 --> 00:04:04.120
say without waiting a little bit a little bit longer so other Logitech

00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:09.720
features that I feel very strongly about this guy right here the unlocked scroll

00:04:06.480 --> 00:04:11.720
wheel love to see that implemented it's

00:04:09.720 --> 00:04:16.120
things like back and forward buttons unlock scroll wheel uh outstanding

00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:20.239
Precision that really set a mouse apart from another one so all you have to do

00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:24.600
see that so you can probably you can hear there's actual clicks to the mouse

00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:29.120
wheel now you go ahead and press this and it disengages the

00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:33.360
gear and it spins freely so it's great for scrolling through long documents I

00:04:30.840 --> 00:04:37.520
actually used my G9 at work almost exclusively because of that because I

00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:40.919
was often in Long Excel documents but the problem with the G9 is the button

00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:44.240
was on the bottom which is not as good as having the button right here where

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

00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:53.199
you've also got DPI changing buttons here back forward as well as another

00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:56.720
programmable button here on the side uh

00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:59.120
looks like yep we've got DPI indications

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

00:05:00.919 --> 00:05:05.720
Logitech software I just want to see if there's anything that I forgot that I

00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:11.080
wanted to say I don't know if I mentioned the 3year warranty already but

00:05:07.880 --> 00:05:12.440
there you go and I think that's pretty

00:05:11.080 --> 00:05:18.000
much it oh yeah you can reprogram all the buttons If you want and unlike the

00:05:14.440 --> 00:05:20.280
g100s and the g400s the cable is braided

00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:26.479
so it's got that premium braided look and it is less susceptible to damage

00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:29.280
from caps I've actually had cables saved

00:05:26.479 --> 00:05:31.880
um from cats vibrating so there you go it's a thing

00:05:30.520 --> 00:05:36.319
