today we'll be doing a quick unboxing of the Razer armadillo 2 now this is a
mouse cable management system holder
basically it secures the cord of your mouse so we're going to go ahead and
open up the packaging here 1 2 3 four
Razer as always is a master of packaging
so no matter how expensive or inexpensive the product is it always
comes in a great retail box so there's like a multi-layered box thing going on
oh I unpacked it wrong yeah see so that's not how they intended not the way
it was meant to be unpacked so here we go so put that back in there this is how
it was meant to be unpacked you're supposed to take the top off so the armadillo 2 is a mouse cord
holder okay I'm going to go ahead and do this it's a fairly simple
straightforward device
basically it's a weighted companion cone
and uh here I have a mouse here unfortunately not a razor Mouse this is
just a cheapo mouse that I got with uh
uh demo unit of something and let's see if we can figure out how this
works okay so that that moves a little bit that doesn't come with
instructions I guess they figure you should be smart enough to figure it out
on your own but uh not everyone necessarily is so why don't we go ahead
and wrap that around and then we go ahead and run that to wherever it goes
is that how it works I guess so hold on hold on cuz it looks like
there's a bit of a oh oh here we go hold on okay okay I think I get it I think I
get it so I don't get it give me a
minute I get it now it's um it's so
simple that it's was hard for me to figure out so basically you push the top
like this that opens up a gap in the side there okay you take your mouse cord
you thread it into the Gap and you let go now your mouse cord is secured now
why would you need this you might ask the reason you might need this is
because when you are moving a Wired Mouse remember wired mice until you get
into the very high-end Wireless mice still provide the best performance for
responsiveness for gaming so well I mean this one's probably an exception but a
high quality Wired Mouse still provides better performance so the reason is that
there's a lot less drag on the cord of the mouse if it is secured with a
comfortable amount of slack whereas let's say you've got it running off the
end of your desk which I see time and time again people with their mice
configured like this so you're sitting at your desk like this okay so let's say
you look down no no I want you to stay not you look down I mean with your
camera in your FPS game you look down so watch this cord now it's hooked now when
I go to look back up all of a sudden there's extra
resistance on the mouse so I can't move precisely so that's what the armadillo 2
is for now I actually use a mouse cord holder at home I don't remember where I
got it but it's a it's a weighted one where the top unscrews you put the mouse
cord into a gap and then you screw the top back on to secure the cord very
similar idea so it's just got a bit of heft to it so that it's not going to
move around it has a grippy bottom also so that it's not going to move around
and it's so simple to use that I can't figure it out thank you for checking out
