00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:07.120
hello and welcome again to david gets really nervous and sweaty on camera

00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:12.559
last time i got really sweaty and nervous but this time

00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:15.280
maybe not because this time i have a fan

00:00:12.559 --> 00:00:20.080
attached to a mouse i mean a mouse attached to a fan

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

00:00:21.520 --> 00:00:27.840
boys i'm guessing different colors let's just open this

00:00:25.119 --> 00:00:27.840
one first

00:00:29.119 --> 00:00:33.600
little instruction manual uh at this

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

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

00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:50.160
shape of it but what makes it special is that there's actually a little fan

00:00:47.120 --> 00:00:52.000
on the inside so the idea is that

00:00:50.160 --> 00:00:55.520
if you get sweaty palms when you play games this thing will actually cool your

00:00:53.680 --> 00:01:00.079
palm for you and help you uh get those frags my palms don't get

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

00:01:02.559 --> 00:01:08.000
this and i said not really and then i started noticing that like

00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:10.799
between my fingers actually got really sweaty and even right now they're kind

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

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

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

00:01:22.240 --> 00:01:27.600
otherwise pretty durable this is what i look for

00:01:25.759 --> 00:01:30.479
most of the time when i'm getting a corded mouse which

00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:34.479
admittedly i don't use anymore i use a wireless mouse just for the

00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:37.119
freedom it provides but there's definitely an argument to be made for

00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:40.560
corded mice especially when you consider the weight

00:01:39.360 --> 00:01:44.159
speaking of weight this mouse is 68 grams which is a little

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

00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:53.759
like 58 but it's definitely still lighter than all the wireless ones the lightest ones

00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:58.560
including the viper ultimate which is like 7778 or the

00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:02.240
gpro at 80. at home i use a 403 wireless which is

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

00:02:05.759 --> 00:02:09.520
and how they achieve the cooling is actually this kind of honeycomb-ish

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

00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:17.680
hexagon shape if you look inside can you see that

00:02:15.920 --> 00:02:21.840
inside you can see the fan it kind of looks like a little turbine the clicking

00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:24.480
is good these are omron 50 million switches

00:02:22.640 --> 00:02:28.160
so they're rated pretty high i know there's been some reliability issues

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

00:02:30.959 --> 00:02:36.959
circuit and the electrical on the mouse isn't actually meant to handle that this

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

00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:45.040
they're trying to do any like power saving or anything like that so it

00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:48.720
should last up to the 50 million at least mechanically i mean the electrical

00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:52.400
always goes out before 50 million so on this mouse there's the two main

00:02:50.720 --> 00:02:56.000
buttons there's the mouse wheel with a click there's the top middle

00:02:55.280 --> 00:03:02.319
button which is the dpi there's two

00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:03.120
side buttons front back you can mount

00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:10.159
them however you want also on the bottom you can see the pixart

00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:11.040
3389 sensor uh nothing wrong with that

00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:16.400
sensor it's considered a flawless sensor that's the joy of reviewing mice now

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

00:03:18.640 --> 00:03:23.040
in your hand how it how it plays and that's something only i

00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:26.239
can give you so let's find out

00:03:26.640 --> 00:03:33.120
all right so we've plugged the mouse in

00:03:29.920 --> 00:03:34.560
and the RGB is extraordinarily bright

00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:39.280
so you change it by hitting the two buttons and then hitting the side

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

00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:44.000
way to do this

00:03:45.200 --> 00:03:50.239
that's not gonna work honestly i would probably have this off i usually keep

00:03:48.480 --> 00:03:54.080
RGB on my computer off i find it distracting apparently in the final production model

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

00:03:56.480 --> 00:04:01.599
love a rainbow so when i plugged it in you can feel the

00:04:00.959 --> 00:04:05.360
fan kick up it's got different settings so

00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:07.680
you change it with that button on the bottom

00:04:08.239 --> 00:04:15.519
sounds weird sounds bad right now there's the three settings there's off

00:04:12.239 --> 00:04:16.799
no sign no noise no vibration

00:04:15.519 --> 00:04:20.160
there's this setting which is i think about 4000 RPM

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

00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:30.320
option but apparently they don't have that available quite yet the question i think

00:04:29.280 --> 00:04:33.919
this is like the main question of this mouse is can i feel the

00:04:33.280 --> 00:04:37.199
air you know what i do feel is like

00:04:36.320 --> 00:04:42.320
vibration city this is insane i would not be into

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

00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:49.759
maybe they can do like a firmware update where they make it

00:04:47.840 --> 00:04:52.479
that the fan changes for rumble you can get like some vibration feedback heck

00:04:51.440 --> 00:04:56.880
yeah the vibration goes down on the higher

00:04:54.560 --> 00:05:00.400
setting but the noise goes up that being said most of the time when

00:04:58.400 --> 00:05:03.919
i'm pc gaming i'm usually wearing a headset

00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:08.479
so does it really matter no but the vibration

00:05:05.039 --> 00:05:10.240
yes that does really matter i can feel

00:05:08.479 --> 00:05:13.919
a little bit of air i wouldn't describe it as particularly

00:05:11.520 --> 00:05:17.759
like much cooler than using a a honeycomb

00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:20.960
shaped mouse anyway yeah it's okay

00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:23.440
is this a game changer probably not

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

00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:32.560
fire up a game sensitivity is high but with one button press

00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:35.680
we're switching between 400 and 16 000 all the way up

00:05:33.280 --> 00:05:41.039
i want to play a game that is both twitch shooter and a little bit scary

00:05:38.080 --> 00:05:45.759
and the first game that came to mind was 2005's

00:05:42.080 --> 00:05:46.240
fear which is long overdue for a remake

00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:53.840
so make that hashtag happen fear remake

00:05:49.440 --> 00:05:53.840
4k 2020. yeah that's the one

00:05:54.479 --> 00:05:58.960
i think my sensitivity is too high it would be nice to have a bungee

00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:03.280
uh as i think that's kind of the big downside to corded gaming is that

00:06:01.520 --> 00:06:07.360
sometimes you're pulling and then all of a sudden

00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:09.520
it yanks in the wrong direction yo is there acceleration and smoothing on this

00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:16.000
thing that is not cool is that they didn't send like a firm

00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:17.199
like a control software did they

00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:21.280
okay let me i've got to turn that off for Windows

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

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

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

00:06:31.440 --> 00:06:35.919
what i'm used to at home with my 403 yeah that

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

00:06:38.400 --> 00:06:42.960
model o minus is like a really good mouse and this feels

00:06:41.440 --> 00:06:46.639
kind of similar the shape's a little more uh kind of

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

00:06:48.960 --> 00:06:54.080
partial to non-ambidextrous mice might kind of curve one way and my hand can

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

00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:03.680
don't love the way that these buttons are kind of covered

00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:05.280
by this ledge here uh i kind of like

00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:09.440
having my fingers closer to the edge and this feels like it prevents me from

00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:14.000
gripping it how i want but like i said my it's a preference thing

00:07:11.280 --> 00:07:16.400
so maybe that's what you like that's a little more fear because uh

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

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

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

00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:32.560
oh i thought you were dead as i played

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

00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:43.199
someone who's like partial to having your palm get warm

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

00:07:44.960 --> 00:07:49.280
bit of refinement it's not bad but it just

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

00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:58.720
should feel like and that's rainbow six so let's load that up

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

00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:06.080
refreshing cold water of my LTT Store.com water bottle

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

00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:26.879
while this game's loading up i'm gonna take a look at what the

00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:29.840
white mouse looks like

00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:32.159
huh figure that it's the same mouse but white

00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:37.039
these pads on the bottom don't feel particularly good they're kind of sticky

00:08:34.640 --> 00:08:39.279
i wasn't noticing any resistance on the pad

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

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

00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:51.360
auto run normally when i'm warming up to play rainbow six and rank i will

00:08:49.920 --> 00:08:54.959
play with the single shot and trying to go headshots only

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

00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:00.320
okay it still has my settings

00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:07.360
oh wow okay all right all right it's definitely different but i mean

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

00:09:09.680 --> 00:09:15.760
and i haven't played as much rainbow six in the last couple

00:09:12.880 --> 00:09:22.640
months okay that's enough of that let's try

00:09:16.160 --> 00:09:24.480
the 403.

00:09:22.640 --> 00:09:27.040
okay yeah this is definitely the mouse i'm more used to

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

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

00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:39.120
it's a proper gaming mouse and if it's the shape that you like

00:09:36.640 --> 00:09:42.160
there's no shame in using that and if you have sweaty palms

00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:45.839
there's no shame man you don't even need to get help just get love

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

00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:55.440
uh getting like a model o or a model d

00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:59.279
would be totally fine i think the the cooling does a little bit

00:09:57.760 --> 00:10:04.079
but i think just having the honeycomb shape does more like the difference between this

00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:06.880
and this isn't that extra airflow it's having just

00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:11.360
passive air kind of being able to go in and out uh and so

00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:14.640
if you have sweaty palms give them a try try the model

00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:17.920
oh the model d the final mouse if you can still find one

00:10:16.160 --> 00:10:21.519
uh i think the cooler master 710 is a honeycomb there's lots of choices

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

00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:29.760
79 for the early bird and i think it's going up to 100

00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:32.720
when it's uh kind of full production and it's a pretty good mouse

00:10:30.959 --> 00:10:36.399
i would say there's lots of options i wouldn't highly recommend this but

00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:39.519
it's pretty good and it's it's a cool unique feature and

00:10:37.680 --> 00:10:41.680
maybe this is the right thing for you and so that's it thanks for watching

00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:46.640
guys uh please like and subscribe if you like me check out carpool critics our movie

00:10:45.680 --> 00:10:51.600
podcast uh and check out the links below if this mouse interests you so

00:10:50.079 --> 00:10:56.560
thank you very much actually wait no no wait i had to do one more test

00:10:53.839 --> 00:10:59.680
this is the make or break feature can you take this mouse

00:10:57.760 --> 00:11:05.360
to disney world with you plug it into a power bank and use it as a fan

00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:08.320
and the answer is yes this is amazing

00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:12.560
oh yeah oh yeah i can't feel anything i want to see if

00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:16.160
both mice at maximum

00:11:12.560 --> 00:11:18.800
i can feel it you know what

00:11:16.160 --> 00:11:23.360
let's do it next time i go to anywhere warm

00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:23.360
bring this mouse with me
