00:00:08,040 --> 00:00:17,240
today we'll be doing a quick unboxing of the Razer armadillo 2 now this is a

2
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:19,320
mouse cable management system holder

3
00:00:17,240 --> 00:00:24,800
basically it secures the cord of your mouse so we're going to go ahead and

4
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:29,320
open up the packaging here 1 2 3 four

5
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:31,599
Razer as always is a master of packaging

6
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:35,800
so no matter how expensive or inexpensive the product is it always

7
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:40,600
comes in a great retail box so there's like a multi-layered box thing going on

8
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:44,920
oh I unpacked it wrong yeah see so that's not how they intended not the way

9
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:49,879
it was meant to be unpacked so here we go so put that back in there this is how

10
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:56,960
it was meant to be unpacked you're supposed to take the top off so the armadillo 2 is a mouse cord

11
00:00:54,680 --> 00:01:01,920
holder okay I'm going to go ahead and do this it's a fairly simple

12
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,920
straightforward device

13
00:01:02,359 --> 00:01:09,640
basically it's a weighted companion cone

14
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:14,520
and uh here I have a mouse here unfortunately not a razor Mouse this is

15
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:16,799
just a cheapo mouse that I got with uh

16
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:22,560
uh demo unit of something and let's see if we can figure out how this

17
00:01:19,799 --> 00:01:27,720
works okay so that that moves a little bit that doesn't come with

18
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:31,880
instructions I guess they figure you should be smart enough to figure it out

19
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:37,600
on your own but uh not everyone necessarily is so why don't we go ahead

20
00:01:34,759 --> 00:01:42,920
and wrap that around and then we go ahead and run that to wherever it goes

21
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:47,119
is that how it works I guess so hold on hold on cuz it looks like

22
00:01:45,479 --> 00:01:51,680
there's a bit of a oh oh here we go hold on okay okay I think I get it I think I

23
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:57,439
get it so I don't get it give me a

24
00:01:54,119 --> 00:01:59,320
minute I get it now it's um it's so

25
00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:04,039
simple that it's was hard for me to figure out so basically you push the top

26
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:08,479
like this that opens up a gap in the side there okay you take your mouse cord

27
00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:13,720
you thread it into the Gap and you let go now your mouse cord is secured now

28
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:17,680
why would you need this you might ask the reason you might need this is

29
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:22,760
because when you are moving a Wired Mouse remember wired mice until you get

30
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:28,560
into the very high-end Wireless mice still provide the best performance for

31
00:02:25,640 --> 00:02:32,519
responsiveness for gaming so well I mean this one's probably an exception but a

32
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:37,599
high quality Wired Mouse still provides better performance so the reason is that

33
00:02:34,879 --> 00:02:43,000
there's a lot less drag on the cord of the mouse if it is secured with a

34
00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:46,440
comfortable amount of slack whereas let's say you've got it running off the

35
00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:49,560
end of your desk which I see time and time again people with their mice

36
00:02:47,959 --> 00:02:53,120
configured like this so you're sitting at your desk like this okay so let's say

37
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:57,760
you look down no no I want you to stay not you look down I mean with your

38
00:02:55,319 --> 00:03:02,799
camera in your FPS game you look down so watch this cord now it's hooked now when

39
00:03:01,159 --> 00:03:07,360
I go to look back up all of a sudden there's extra

40
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:12,040
resistance on the mouse so I can't move precisely so that's what the armadillo 2

41
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:15,879
is for now I actually use a mouse cord holder at home I don't remember where I

42
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:19,519
got it but it's a it's a weighted one where the top unscrews you put the mouse

43
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:23,400
cord into a gap and then you screw the top back on to secure the cord very

44
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:27,519
similar idea so it's just got a bit of heft to it so that it's not going to

45
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:30,920
move around it has a grippy bottom also so that it's not going to move around

46
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:34,000
and it's so simple to use that I can't figure it out thank you for checking out
