WEBVTT 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:07.839 finally someone is trying something new in the gaming mouse space 00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:11.120 this might be the most interested i've 00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:14.719 been in trying a new product in a 00:00:11.120 --> 00:00:16.800 long time this is the era one gaming 00:00:14.719 --> 00:00:22.160 mouse it's not even a real product yet it's just on kickstarter but the whole 00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:27.920 resonate is just this simple innovation let's uh take the sensor from down here 00:00:25.599 --> 00:00:33.040 and put it up here let's find out if that does anything full disclosure this 00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:37.280 is a prototype so we can't give full impressions on like the build quality 00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:41.840 and whatnot but this is a near final shape so this is going to give us a good 00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:44.239 idea of what the final product would be 00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:48.960 it's a 3d printed body but it's not the worst 3d print i've ever felt this 00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:52.719 unfortunately is a wired mouse which is a bit of a bummer because i generally 00:00:50.480 --> 00:00:57.199 prefer wireless mice but the benefit of that is that this is a very light mouse 00:00:54.960 --> 00:01:01.520 this is a 60 gram mouse which is lighter than a g pro x super light and even a 00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:06.000 little bit lighter than a model d minus which is my preferred wired mouse the 00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:10.080 feeling in the hand is not bad it's a little chunky in the sides in the photos 00:01:08.320 --> 00:01:13.680 it looked tiny and i assumed from the weight it was one of those like claw 00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:16.799 only finger grips it is a little bit short but my palm rests fairly 00:01:15.360 --> 00:01:21.200 comfortably on this and then kind of claws naturally around the mouse they 00:01:19.360 --> 00:01:25.600 say it's designed for both fingertip and claw not like palming yeah you'd have a 00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:28.960 bad time just like going full palm but it doesn't feel 00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:33.119 uncomfortable it's not my preferred shape i think i want a little bit more 00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:37.520 on the caboose i mean i'm all about that mouse base no no trouble 00:01:36.240 --> 00:01:41.360 this is close to the final shape but they intend to raise the steepness of 00:01:39.759 --> 00:01:44.720 the fingertips and bring in the sides of it i think bringing the sides is really 00:01:42.960 --> 00:01:48.159 important it feels pretty wide i'm having a hard time getting my fourth and 00:01:46.240 --> 00:01:52.479 fifth finger and thumb to feel particularly comfortable i find the 00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:57.040 mouse wheel is like kind of a little far forward and clicking it i would have a 00:01:54.479 --> 00:02:00.320 hard time clicking it without rolling it a little bit the side buttons feel 00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:04.719 pretty good although they are sort of indented into the side as soon as you 00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:09.360 press them they sort of disappear i don't want to go too hard into it it's a 00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:13.599 prototype it is what it is i think they did make a really good choice using the 00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:17.760 kale 8.0 switches they're rated for 80 million clicks i know a lot of people 00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:20.480 put those in as aftermarket switches in their mice because they prefer that 00:02:19.040 --> 00:02:27.680 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 00:02:25.040 --> 00:02:31.200 for smooth gliding they definitely feel a little bit thin i'm used to them 00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:35.840 having a little bit of a roundness it's not bad prototype you know 00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:40.160 type as this is a prototype we're gonna focus on the main innovation of this 00:02:37.760 --> 00:02:44.160 mouse which is moving the sensor up all the way to the top intuitively that 00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:47.599 makes a lot of sense you think about how you hold a mouse if you have the sensor 00:02:45.920 --> 00:02:50.959 down here moving the same amount it's moving less distance and you have less 00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:54.480 precision than if it's at the front like with your hand all of a sudden you're 00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:58.400 moving the sensor a lot and those micro adjustments all of a sudden you have all 00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:02.959 this extra range of motion you can see how moving it up would give you a lot 00:02:59.920 --> 00:03:06.640 more control i'm really excited to plug 00:03:02.959 --> 00:03:08.239 this in and see my fear is by design all 00:03:06.640 --> 00:03:12.720 of a sudden the weight is going to creep forward i like pretty balanced mice you 00:03:10.720 --> 00:03:16.480 know front and back weight i know on a wireless mouse you can move the battery 00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:20.000 back you know counteract and you can still have pcb and stuff further back 00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:22.560 but on a wired mouse i'm a little bit worried that it's just always going to 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:26.480 feel a little front heavy and which would take away from the mobility and 00:03:24.480 --> 00:03:29.760 then reduce the advantage you gain from moving the sensor up anyway but we'll 00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:35.360 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 00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:38.000 you used it for a week or a month it would start to click and you just get a 00:03:36.720 --> 00:03:42.159 little more precision but as someone who has my settings pretty dialed in we'll 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:44.959 see how much this throws it off i think what i'm going to do is i'm going to 00:03:43.200 --> 00:03:48.640 plug it in use the settings that i'm used to see how that feels and then 00:03:46.799 --> 00:03:52.000 maybe just tweak them a little bit maybe decrease the sensitivity as i'm gonna be 00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:57.280 moving a little bit wilder the whole principle according to these kickstarter 00:03:54.640 --> 00:04:01.280 pages that it is fits law uh which is like if you move stuff further away from 00:03:58.799 --> 00:04:06.720 the point of motion it moves but there's like lots of numbers and lots of crazy 00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:11.200 who knows i feel ready to plug this in see how it 00:04:08.799 --> 00:04:15.760 feels talk about the sensor but first let's talk about our sponsor you green 00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:20.400 you green's new nexo mini 45 watt charger packs a punch with a small 00:04:17.359 --> 00:04:22.079 footprint of 2.62 cubic inches it's a 00:04:20.400 --> 00:04:26.800 hard sentence to say rocking dual usb type-c ports eugreen's 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:30.880 charger can charge two devices at high speeds simultaneously supporting a 00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:35.919 maximum charging power of 45 watts coming in sleek black finish you'll pack 00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:39.520 power in style learn more at the link in the description below let's speak about 00:04:37.840 --> 00:04:42.400 the cable a little bit the cable is feels really good it's a paracord 00:04:40.880 --> 00:04:46.160 surrounding this exterior it's got that loose feel so it doesn't drag as much 00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:49.840 this is like my ideal type of cable for this thing you can tell this mouse was 00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:53.759 designed by someone who thinks about what a mouse should be 00:04:51.520 --> 00:04:58.160 it's just wired mice are such a bummer unless you are set up for it and have a 00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:01.520 bungee you're always gonna just like gonna be trying to do a flick or 00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:05.680 something and it's gonna drag this is as good of an implementation as you can do 00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:08.960 and as it is one person making this i totally understand 00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:12.639 but uh i'm crying a little bit on the inside i 00:05:10.880 --> 00:05:17.039 forgot to mention that there is a dpi switch they say that this mouse goes 00:05:14.479 --> 00:05:21.199 between 400 and 300 which is kind of the sweet spot i think for what most people 00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:27.440 are actually using i generally go 800 unless i'm playing an old game it's 00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:29.120 using a bmw 3360 which is a sensor in a 00:05:27.440 --> 00:05:32.800 ton of mice including zowie's and glorious it's considered a flawless 00:05:30.479 --> 00:05:36.880 sensor i think is a good choice for this mouse keeping the cost down but not 00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:42.320 compromising on quality even though it says that it goes between 432 the dpi 00:05:40.400 --> 00:05:47.120 switch on the bottom does not seem to be going down to 400 i feels like holy 00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:51.280 smokes that's crazy ah okay maybe there's more settings oh yeah 00:05:48.880 --> 00:05:53.759 that feels like 800 i'm not going to worry too much about 00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:58.080 sensitivity it might throw off a little bit of how it feels we've moved to this 00:05:55.840 --> 00:06:03.120 setup it's going to give me a better approximation what i'm doing at home i 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:04.319 have my settings semi-dialed in first 00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:09.840 impressions it's a mouse i don't like the grip that 00:06:06.880 --> 00:06:13.919 i'm having on this shell there's like a difference between the bottom part and 00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:17.680 the top part so it just feels a little bit off again it's prototype it's a 00:06:16.080 --> 00:06:22.240 little too hard i like a little bit of squeeze although maybe it'll prevent me 00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:26.639 from breaking mice out of rage in terms of tracking i don't immediately feel a 00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:30.160 difference i think that with a bit more use and being able to dial in settings 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:34.880 exactly in the mouse i might feel it a little bit more in a bit we'll compare 00:06:32.479 --> 00:06:39.919 it to some more traditional mice uh that i have a bit more experience with 00:06:36.880 --> 00:06:42.080 and see how it feels gotta show off that 00:06:39.919 --> 00:06:45.440 uh my one heirloom i think i have two actually but 00:06:43.919 --> 00:06:49.039 there's movements that i have that feel like they're spot on then sometimes i'm 00:06:47.520 --> 00:06:53.120 moving and i'm getting a little less motion than i would expect i don't know 00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:56.800 if it's my brain that is freaking out because it's like 00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:59.919 hey this is a different kind of mouse bro i think that's just something you'd 00:06:58.479 --> 00:07:04.080 have to get used to but uh that is outside the scope of this 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:08.080 video you know overall this is feeling pretty good why don't we plug 00:07:06.080 --> 00:07:12.479 in a mouse that i know a little bit more and see how the comparison feels first 00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:17.280 off let's try the model d minus this is my preferred 00:07:13.919 --> 00:07:18.960 glorious shape it's also a wired mouse 00:07:17.280 --> 00:07:22.240 it doesn't have the solid shell but i think the construction quality is 00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:25.599 slightly better prototype you know prototype i love this shape i wish they 00:07:24.400 --> 00:07:29.360 made a wireless variant to this they make a wireless model d but not a model 00:07:27.840 --> 00:07:32.800 d minus it's interesting this feels more 00:07:30.960 --> 00:07:35.840 sensitive maybe that's this feels 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:40.479 slightly less sensitive i think having the sensor a little bit higher is making 00:07:37.440 --> 00:07:42.400 that 800 is feeling a little bit 00:07:40.479 --> 00:07:46.160 less responsive not less responsive but it's moving a little bit less by my 00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:48.879 actions this is what i'm used to although i did it my brain was starting 00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:53.759 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 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:57.680 a difference as the claims are i think intuitively it would make a little bit 00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:01.280 of a difference but like most gaming peripherals is just what you're used to 00:07:59.840 --> 00:08:05.199 if you're used to the way that it's faster sometimes and 00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:09.599 slower from the top then i think that's better but if you're used to the more 00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:11.039 uniform motion or the more traditional 00:08:09.599 --> 00:08:15.440 acceleration from having the sensor right under the 00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:19.120 center point i think that'll be better let's try a g pro x 00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:22.160 no i don't even need to now i want to plug in them one more time 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:29.039 please glorious make a model d minus and i mean get subscribed so you can not 00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:32.800 miss that content as it drops but damn man get out of here cable 00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:36.800 what d minus why this really exists okay i'm 00:08:34.959 --> 00:08:40.000 gonna get that mouse i seem to be doing a little bit better with this mouse 00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:44.000 which is interesting i wouldn't expect that i did dial in my settings first on 00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:48.480 this and i don't feel like i can make a definitive statement if putting the 00:08:45.680 --> 00:08:53.680 sensor at the top is an overall better thing what i can say is that i'm having 00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:55.600 a really positive experience today i 00:08:53.680 --> 00:09:00.080 think that this is a fantastic idea and it actually is uh feeling pretty tight 00:08:58.640 --> 00:09:04.480 there is an adjustment because some movements you're getting way more action 00:09:02.160 --> 00:09:07.120 and some movements are getting way less but 00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:11.600 that's just like i said getting used to it you can color me 00:09:08.959 --> 00:09:16.080 intrigued if you are also intrigued the kickstarter's still up they are 00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:20.640 looking for some funding you know making it a full deal mouse i think this is 00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:25.200 worth backing it's not a mouse that's ready for production it's 3d printed it 00:09:22.880 --> 00:09:29.360 doesn't have the best build quality but it's an idea worth supporting if you 00:09:26.880 --> 00:09:33.440 have the money and you're excited about something new in the gaming mouse space 00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:36.800 i like this thing this is uh this is pretty cool and i hope that they can 00:09:34.959 --> 00:09:40.480 take it all the way thank you so much for watching this ShortCircuit if you 00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:46.000 want to watch other mouse content go watch my model d minus video i like that 00:09:42.640 --> 00:09:46.000 mouse it's just comfortable
