00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:07,120
hello and welcome again to david gets really nervous and sweaty on camera

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:12,559
last time i got really sweaty and nervous but this time

3
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:15,280
maybe not because this time i have a fan

4
00:00:12,559 --> 00:00:20,080
attached to a mouse i mean a mouse attached to a fan

5
00:00:17,199 --> 00:00:22,800
let's see if this thing blows me away so they actually sent us two of these bad

6
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:27,840
boys i'm guessing different colors let's just open this

7
00:00:25,119 --> 00:00:27,840
one first

8
00:00:29,119 --> 00:00:33,600
little instruction manual uh at this

9
00:00:32,239 --> 00:00:42,480
point i think most people know how to use a mouse plug it in away we go all right

10
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:45,520
so this is the zephyr gaming mouse it's a pretty cool mouse i think i like the

11
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:50,160
shape of it but what makes it special is that there's actually a little fan

12
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:52,000
on the inside so the idea is that

13
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:55,520
if you get sweaty palms when you play games this thing will actually cool your

14
00:00:53,680 --> 00:01:00,079
palm for you and help you uh get those frags my palms don't get

15
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:04,320
particularly sweaty at least that's what i thought until jono asked me if i wanted to do

16
00:01:02,559 --> 00:01:08,000
this and i said not really and then i started noticing that like

17
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:10,799
between my fingers actually got really sweaty and even right now they're kind

18
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:15,200
of sweaty so i'm excited to see if this thing actually cools the way it is supposed to so right

19
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:19,600
off the bat i actually like this cable quite a bit it's a braided cable it's kind of

20
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:24,560
fabric-y it feels like if you had a cable tie it would shred this thing pretty quickly but

21
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:27,600
otherwise pretty durable this is what i look for

22
00:01:25,759 --> 00:01:30,479
most of the time when i'm getting a corded mouse which

23
00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:34,479
admittedly i don't use anymore i use a wireless mouse just for the

24
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:37,119
freedom it provides but there's definitely an argument to be made for

25
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,560
corded mice especially when you consider the weight

26
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:44,159
speaking of weight this mouse is 68 grams which is a little

27
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:49,680
bit heavier than some of the lightest corded mice like the model o minus which i think is about

28
00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:53,759
like 58 but it's definitely still lighter than all the wireless ones the lightest ones

29
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:58,560
including the viper ultimate which is like 7778 or the

30
00:01:56,799 --> 00:02:02,240
gpro at 80. at home i use a 403 wireless which is

31
00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:07,119
about 100 grams so no matter what this thing's gonna be quite a bit lighter how that's achieved

32
00:02:05,759 --> 00:02:09,520
and how they achieve the cooling is actually this kind of honeycomb-ish

33
00:02:09,119 --> 00:02:15,360
design it's a little more organic looking on this one often it's kind of a straight

34
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,680
hexagon shape if you look inside can you see that

35
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:21,840
inside you can see the fan it kind of looks like a little turbine the clicking

36
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:24,480
is good these are omron 50 million switches

37
00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:28,160
so they're rated pretty high i know there's been some reliability issues

38
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:33,519
with these ones especially in logitech mice they're either under volting or using too low of a current and so the

39
00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:36,959
circuit and the electrical on the mouse isn't actually meant to handle that this

40
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:40,879
shouldn't be a problem because this is a wired mouse and so i can't imagine

41
00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:45,040
they're trying to do any like power saving or anything like that so it

42
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:48,720
should last up to the 50 million at least mechanically i mean the electrical

43
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:52,400
always goes out before 50 million so on this mouse there's the two main

44
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:56,000
buttons there's the mouse wheel with a click there's the top middle

45
00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:02,319
button which is the dpi there's two

46
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,120
side buttons front back you can mount

47
00:03:02,319 --> 00:03:10,159
them however you want also on the bottom you can see the pixart

48
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,040
3389 sensor uh nothing wrong with that

49
00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:16,400
sensor it's considered a flawless sensor that's the joy of reviewing mice now

50
00:03:14,879 --> 00:03:19,599
it's not about seeing how accurate a sensor is it's more about how it feels

51
00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:23,040
in your hand how it how it plays and that's something only i

52
00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:26,239
can give you so let's find out

53
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:33,120
all right so we've plugged the mouse in

54
00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:34,560
and the RGB is extraordinarily bright

55
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:39,280
so you change it by hitting the two buttons and then hitting the side

56
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:44,000
buttons so there's a whole variety of RGB my hand is in the way is there a

57
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,000
way to do this

58
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:50,239
that's not gonna work honestly i would probably have this off i usually keep

59
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:54,080
RGB on my computer off i find it distracting apparently in the final production model

60
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:58,080
there'll be a way to turn it off but for now let's go with the rainbow who doesn't

61
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:01,599
love a rainbow so when i plugged it in you can feel the

62
00:04:00,959 --> 00:04:05,360
fan kick up it's got different settings so

63
00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:07,680
you change it with that button on the bottom

64
00:04:08,239 --> 00:04:15,519
sounds weird sounds bad right now there's the three settings there's off

65
00:04:12,239 --> 00:04:16,799
no sign no noise no vibration

66
00:04:15,519 --> 00:04:20,160
there's this setting which is i think about 4000 RPM

67
00:04:20,799 --> 00:04:25,919
there's this one which is 7000 RPM and then there's going to be a 10 000 RPM

68
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:30,320
option but apparently they don't have that available quite yet the question i think

69
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:33,919
this is like the main question of this mouse is can i feel the

70
00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:37,199
air you know what i do feel is like

71
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:42,320
vibration city this is insane i would not be into

72
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:46,240
using this it is so distracting it feels like there's like a rumble pack in this

73
00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:49,759
maybe they can do like a firmware update where they make it

74
00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:52,479
that the fan changes for rumble you can get like some vibration feedback heck

75
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:56,880
yeah the vibration goes down on the higher

76
00:04:54,560 --> 00:05:00,400
setting but the noise goes up that being said most of the time when

77
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:03,919
i'm pc gaming i'm usually wearing a headset

78
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:08,479
so does it really matter no but the vibration

79
00:05:05,039 --> 00:05:10,240
yes that does really matter i can feel

80
00:05:08,479 --> 00:05:13,919
a little bit of air i wouldn't describe it as particularly

81
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:17,759
like much cooler than using a a honeycomb

82
00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:20,960
shaped mouse anyway yeah it's okay

83
00:05:17,759 --> 00:05:23,440
is this a game changer probably not

84
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:28,560
but that's okay mice are pretty good as they are okay so why don't we uh

85
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:32,560
fire up a game sensitivity is high but with one button press

86
00:05:29,759 --> 00:05:35,680
we're switching between 400 and 16 000 all the way up

87
00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:41,039
i want to play a game that is both twitch shooter and a little bit scary

88
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:45,759
and the first game that came to mind was 2005's

89
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:46,240
fear which is long overdue for a remake

90
00:05:45,759 --> 00:05:53,840
so make that hashtag happen fear remake

91
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,840
4k 2020. yeah that's the one

92
00:05:54,479 --> 00:05:58,960
i think my sensitivity is too high it would be nice to have a bungee

93
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:03,280
uh as i think that's kind of the big downside to corded gaming is that

94
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:07,360
sometimes you're pulling and then all of a sudden

95
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:09,520
it yanks in the wrong direction yo is there acceleration and smoothing on this

96
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:16,000
thing that is not cool is that they didn't send like a firm

97
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:17,199
like a control software did they

98
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,280
okay let me i've got to turn that off for Windows

99
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:26,000
there was no smoothing but it didn't feel quite right so it might just be that the dpi

100
00:06:23,919 --> 00:06:29,039
isn't set how i'm used to it'd be nice to have some kind of software control so

101
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:31,840
you can be sure that things are right because right now i'm just going off feeling and that feels pretty close to

102
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,919
what i'm used to at home with my 403 yeah that

103
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:40,479
kind of stuff can come later so it's not that big of a deal i like the feel of light mice like the

104
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,960
model o minus is like a really good mouse and this feels

105
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:46,639
kind of similar the shape's a little more uh kind of

106
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:51,120
jagged i don't love the way that this bottom feels in my palm i'm particularly

107
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:54,080
partial to non-ambidextrous mice might kind of curve one way and my hand can

108
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:59,440
kind of fit in there that's why i like the 403 but overall it's pretty comfortable i

109
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:03,680
don't love the way that these buttons are kind of covered

110
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:05,280
by this ledge here uh i kind of like

111
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:09,440
having my fingers closer to the edge and this feels like it prevents me from

112
00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:14,000
gripping it how i want but like i said my it's a preference thing

113
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:16,400
so maybe that's what you like that's a little more fear because uh

114
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,520
i'm on the clock and now i get to play video games so i don't have headphones

115
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:23,599
right now so i mean i can hear the mouse it's not that bad even when i'm not thinking

116
00:07:22,479 --> 00:07:31,360
about it it's just like a little bit of a whine i can deal with that i can handle that

117
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,560
oh i thought you were dead as i played

118
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:37,520
and as i warmed up partially because my nerves i actually can't feel the fan going so if you're

119
00:07:36,319 --> 00:07:43,199
someone who's like partial to having your palm get warm

120
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,440
you know what it's kind of cool it kind of works i think it could use a little

121
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:49,280
bit of refinement it's not bad but it just

122
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:54,240
vibrates a little bit but i want to try it in the game that i know best that i know what a mouse

123
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:58,720
should feel like and that's rainbow six so let's load that up

124
00:07:56,479 --> 00:08:02,720
i'm all sweaty everywhere butt my palms so i'm going to cool down with my

125
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:06,080
refreshing cold water of my LTT Store.com water bottle

126
00:08:10,639 --> 00:08:15,919
yeah if only the mouse could do that oh now i'm all wet what did i do

127
00:08:19,759 --> 00:08:26,879
while this game's loading up i'm gonna take a look at what the

128
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:29,840
white mouse looks like

129
00:08:26,879 --> 00:08:32,159
huh figure that it's the same mouse but white

130
00:08:30,319 --> 00:08:37,039
these pads on the bottom don't feel particularly good they're kind of sticky

131
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:39,279
i wasn't noticing any resistance on the pad

132
00:08:37,680 --> 00:08:42,240
but i don't feel like they would last forever i'm just gonna do a regular

133
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:46,080
terrace on let's go ash because i love the r4 i'm just gonna do a full

134
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:51,360
auto run normally when i'm warming up to play rainbow six and rank i will

135
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:54,959
play with the single shot and trying to go headshots only

136
00:08:53,120 --> 00:09:00,320
but just to kind of give this a chance first let's just see how we do

137
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,320
okay it still has my settings

138
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:07,360
oh wow okay all right all right it's definitely different but i mean

139
00:09:05,519 --> 00:09:11,279
it's hard to judge a mouse off first impressions because it always takes a little bit to get used to

140
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:15,760
and i haven't played as much rainbow six in the last couple

141
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:22,640
months okay that's enough of that let's try

142
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:24,480
the 403.

143
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:27,040
okay yeah this is definitely the mouse i'm more used to

144
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:31,360
that's not a knock against the other one the other one i could see getting used to it when i

145
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:34,959
first heard that it was a mouse with a fan in it it seems so gimmicky but it's

146
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:39,120
it's a proper gaming mouse and if it's the shape that you like

147
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:42,160
there's no shame in using that and if you have sweaty palms

148
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:45,839
there's no shame man you don't even need to get help just get love

149
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:53,600
or get a mouse andy you're right you're right i think if you have a sweaty palm

150
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:55,440
uh getting like a model o or a model d

151
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:59,279
would be totally fine i think the the cooling does a little bit

152
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:04,079
but i think just having the honeycomb shape does more like the difference between this

153
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,880
and this isn't that extra airflow it's having just

154
00:10:05,279 --> 00:10:11,360
passive air kind of being able to go in and out uh and so

155
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:14,640
if you have sweaty palms give them a try try the model

156
00:10:12,399 --> 00:10:17,920
oh the model d the final mouse if you can still find one

157
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:21,519
uh i think the cooler master 710 is a honeycomb there's lots of choices

158
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,079
this is a good choice though it's a good one to put in your options it started at

159
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:29,760
79 for the early bird and i think it's going up to 100
