finally someone is trying something new in the gaming mouse space
this might be the most interested i've
been in trying a new product in a
long time this is the era one gaming
mouse it's not even a real product yet it's just on kickstarter but the whole
resonate is just this simple innovation let's uh take the sensor from down here
and put it up here let's find out if that does anything full disclosure this
is a prototype so we can't give full impressions on like the build quality
and whatnot but this is a near final shape so this is going to give us a good
idea of what the final product would be
it's a 3d printed body but it's not the worst 3d print i've ever felt this
unfortunately is a wired mouse which is a bit of a bummer because i generally
prefer wireless mice but the benefit of that is that this is a very light mouse
this is a 60 gram mouse which is lighter than a g pro x super light and even a
little bit lighter than a model d minus which is my preferred wired mouse the
feeling in the hand is not bad it's a little chunky in the sides in the photos
it looked tiny and i assumed from the weight it was one of those like claw
only finger grips it is a little bit short but my palm rests fairly
comfortably on this and then kind of claws naturally around the mouse they
say it's designed for both fingertip and claw not like palming yeah you'd have a
bad time just like going full palm but it doesn't feel
uncomfortable it's not my preferred shape i think i want a little bit more
on the caboose i mean i'm all about that mouse base no no trouble
this is close to the final shape but they intend to raise the steepness of
the fingertips and bring in the sides of it i think bringing the sides is really
important it feels pretty wide i'm having a hard time getting my fourth and
fifth finger and thumb to feel particularly comfortable i find the
mouse wheel is like kind of a little far forward and clicking it i would have a
hard time clicking it without rolling it a little bit the side buttons feel
pretty good although they are sort of indented into the side as soon as you
press them they sort of disappear i don't want to go too hard into it it's a
prototype it is what it is i think they did make a really good choice using the
kale 8.0 switches they're rated for 80 million clicks i know a lot of people
put those in as aftermarket switches in their mice because they prefer that
feeling it also is nice to know that it'd be really easy to switch out for your preferred switch it's got ptfe feet
for smooth gliding they definitely feel a little bit thin i'm used to them
having a little bit of a roundness it's not bad prototype you know
type as this is a prototype we're gonna focus on the main innovation of this
mouse which is moving the sensor up all the way to the top intuitively that
makes a lot of sense you think about how you hold a mouse if you have the sensor
down here moving the same amount it's moving less distance and you have less
precision than if it's at the front like with your hand all of a sudden you're
moving the sensor a lot and those micro adjustments all of a sudden you have all
this extra range of motion you can see how moving it up would give you a lot
more control i'm really excited to plug
this in and see my fear is by design all
of a sudden the weight is going to creep forward i like pretty balanced mice you
know front and back weight i know on a wireless mouse you can move the battery
back you know counteract and you can still have pcb and stuff further back
but on a wired mouse i'm a little bit worried that it's just always going to
feel a little front heavy and which would take away from the mobility and
then reduce the advantage you gain from moving the sensor up anyway but we'll
get to that you know we'll get to that when we get to it i'm worried that it might be one of those products that if
you used it for a week or a month it would start to click and you just get a
little more precision but as someone who has my settings pretty dialed in we'll
see how much this throws it off i think what i'm going to do is i'm going to
plug it in use the settings that i'm used to see how that feels and then
maybe just tweak them a little bit maybe decrease the sensitivity as i'm gonna be
moving a little bit wilder the whole principle according to these kickstarter
pages that it is fits law uh which is like if you move stuff further away from
the point of motion it moves but there's like lots of numbers and lots of crazy
who knows i feel ready to plug this in see how it
feels talk about the sensor but first let's talk about our sponsor you green
you green's new nexo mini 45 watt charger packs a punch with a small
footprint of 2.62 cubic inches it's a
hard sentence to say rocking dual usb type-c ports eugreen's
charger can charge two devices at high speeds simultaneously supporting a
maximum charging power of 45 watts coming in sleek black finish you'll pack
power in style learn more at the link in the description below let's speak about
the cable a little bit the cable is feels really good it's a paracord
surrounding this exterior it's got that loose feel so it doesn't drag as much
this is like my ideal type of cable for this thing you can tell this mouse was
designed by someone who thinks about what a mouse should be
it's just wired mice are such a bummer unless you are set up for it and have a
bungee you're always gonna just like gonna be trying to do a flick or
something and it's gonna drag this is as good of an implementation as you can do
and as it is one person making this i totally understand
but uh i'm crying a little bit on the inside i
forgot to mention that there is a dpi switch they say that this mouse goes
between 400 and 300 which is kind of the sweet spot i think for what most people
are actually using i generally go 800 unless i'm playing an old game it's
using a bmw 3360 which is a sensor in a
ton of mice including zowie's and glorious it's considered a flawless
sensor i think is a good choice for this mouse keeping the cost down but not
compromising on quality even though it says that it goes between 432 the dpi
switch on the bottom does not seem to be going down to 400 i feels like holy
smokes that's crazy ah okay maybe there's more settings oh yeah
that feels like 800 i'm not going to worry too much about
sensitivity it might throw off a little bit of how it feels we've moved to this
setup it's going to give me a better approximation what i'm doing at home i
have my settings semi-dialed in first
impressions it's a mouse i don't like the grip that
i'm having on this shell there's like a difference between the bottom part and
the top part so it just feels a little bit off again it's prototype it's a
little too hard i like a little bit of squeeze although maybe it'll prevent me
from breaking mice out of rage in terms of tracking i don't immediately feel a
difference i think that with a bit more use and being able to dial in settings
exactly in the mouse i might feel it a little bit more in a bit we'll compare
it to some more traditional mice uh that i have a bit more experience with
and see how it feels gotta show off that
uh my one heirloom i think i have two actually but
there's movements that i have that feel like they're spot on then sometimes i'm
moving and i'm getting a little less motion than i would expect i don't know
if it's my brain that is freaking out because it's like
hey this is a different kind of mouse bro i think that's just something you'd
have to get used to but uh that is outside the scope of this
video you know overall this is feeling pretty good why don't we plug
in a mouse that i know a little bit more and see how the comparison feels first
off let's try the model d minus this is my preferred
glorious shape it's also a wired mouse
it doesn't have the solid shell but i think the construction quality is
slightly better prototype you know prototype i love this shape i wish they
made a wireless variant to this they make a wireless model d but not a model
d minus it's interesting this feels more
sensitive maybe that's this feels
slightly less sensitive i think having the sensor a little bit higher is making
that 800 is feeling a little bit
less responsive not less responsive but it's moving a little bit less by my
actions this is what i'm used to although i did it my brain was starting
to adjust pretty quickly to the other one this one's feeling a little bit slow i don't think it's gonna make as much of
a difference as the claims are i think intuitively it would make a little bit
of a difference but like most gaming peripherals is just what you're used to
if you're used to the way that it's faster sometimes and
slower from the top then i think that's better but if you're used to the more
uniform motion or the more traditional
acceleration from having the sensor right under the
center point i think that'll be better let's try a g pro x
no i don't even need to now i want to plug in them one more time
please glorious make a model d minus and i mean get subscribed so you can not
miss that content as it drops but damn man get out of here cable
what d minus why this really exists okay i'm
gonna get that mouse i seem to be doing a little bit better with this mouse
which is interesting i wouldn't expect that i did dial in my settings first on
this and i don't feel like i can make a definitive statement if putting the
sensor at the top is an overall better thing what i can say is that i'm having
a really positive experience today i
think that this is a fantastic idea and it actually is uh feeling pretty tight
there is an adjustment because some movements you're getting way more action
and some movements are getting way less but
that's just like i said getting used to it you can color me
intrigued if you are also intrigued the kickstarter's still up they are
looking for some funding you know making it a full deal mouse i think this is
worth backing it's not a mouse that's ready for production it's 3d printed it
doesn't have the best build quality but it's an idea worth supporting if you
have the money and you're excited about something new in the gaming mouse space
i like this thing this is uh this is pretty cool and i hope that they can
take it all the way thank you so much for watching this ShortCircuit if you
want to watch other mouse content go watch my model d minus video i like that
mouse it's just comfortable
