WEBVTT

00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:05.040
Sony is going a little crazy making all

00:00:03.280 --> 00:00:09.840
kinds of gaming peripherals these days. And now they're making mice and

00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:15.920
keyboards for gamers. And at first glance, these have potential. First off,

00:00:13.280 --> 00:00:22.240
let's look at the mouse called the Inzone Mouse A. Uh why it is called the

00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:26.240
mouse A, I would guess, is it's the first one, and that's the first letter

00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:33.520
of the alphabet. Inside the box, we have our mouse. We have what looks like our

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:35.280
8K dongle. Very cool. We have Oh, extra

00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:41.440
glide skates. That's very nice. Our stickers, some quick start guides, and

00:00:37.760 --> 00:00:44.960
we have a fairly long looking cable. 6

00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:46.800
ft long. Oh, and a inzone sticker. Very

00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:50.719
nice. This cable is actually a nice little braided cable. It's got loose

00:00:48.879 --> 00:00:55.199
sleeving, and even just being through the Labs testing, it's already got some

00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:58.160
kind of kinks uh and bad memory in it, but otherwise, it should be fine.

00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:01.440
especially if you're not you planning on using the mouse in a wired mode, which

00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:07.119
you shouldn't because they include an 8000Hz dongle. Yes, this is a very fast

00:01:05.600 --> 00:01:11.680
mouse. That's great. Getting to the mouse itself, it's a pretty standard

00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:16.159
looking gaming mouse with pretty premium plastic feel. Uh pretty instantly

00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:20.000
comfortable shape. It's something kind of like a Gro Superlite. An ambidextric

00:01:18.320 --> 00:01:23.280
shape outside of the buttons on the one side and it fits pretty comfortable in

00:01:22.080 --> 00:01:29.280
your hand. It has a little bit bigger of a hump than a Gro X Super Light. Um, but

00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:33.759
otherwise that feels uh pretty familiar to me. The clicks,

00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:39.439
they feel pretty good outside of the fact that there's a bit of difference depending on where you press on the

00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:43.759
button itself, but they're rated for 150 million clicks, which is fantastic. Uh,

00:01:42.240 --> 00:01:49.439
reliability on mice, that's usually the first thing to go. You just get double clicks and whatnot. So, that's a great

00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:54.560
start for a first try at a mouse. Although I shouldn't say first try cuz

00:01:51.360 --> 00:01:56.159
uh Sony used to make more computer stuff

00:01:54.560 --> 00:02:00.640
back in the Vio days trying to be a little Apple style. On the top we have

00:01:57.759 --> 00:02:04.159
our two buttons left right. This middle thing is not a button although there is

00:02:02.240 --> 00:02:08.000
a light. We have our scroll wheel which feels just tactile enough. That's

00:02:06.399 --> 00:02:14.640
definitely like meant for gaming. If I was doing productivity stuff I would either want less or more but for gaming

00:02:12.640 --> 00:02:18.480
that's just about right. The click feels like I would often scroll accidentally

00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:23.120
while clicking. I feel like I would want just a little bit more resistance in the

00:02:20.959 --> 00:02:27.440
wheel so I'm not accidentally scrolling when I click. Uh, we'll see how that

00:02:25.440 --> 00:02:32.000
translates in game. On our side, we have our back and forward button as well as

00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:34.800
our inzone logo. I think that's an acceptable place for a logo. It's much

00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:38.080
better than underneath your palm where it's going to wear anyway. So, I think

00:02:36.640 --> 00:02:43.280
that's actually pretty smart placement. There's not really anything that touches this. These buttons feel pretty good.

00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:48.800
Pretty consistent across the whole button itself. I'm pretty happy. On this

00:02:46.480 --> 00:02:52.720
side, we have nothing but my grease. And on the bottom, we have these PTFE skates

00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:56.800
as well as this kind of neat uh transparent window that sort of almost

00:02:54.879 --> 00:03:00.239
looks like it would be a hollow body design, but there's actually plastic

00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:03.599
through. So, this is I'm guessing like a vinyl layer that I could peel. You can

00:03:02.239 --> 00:03:09.200
actually see some of the circuitry inside of the mouse. That's pretty neat. We also have our power button. Uh there

00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:13.280
is no wireless mode toggle at first glance uh because there is no Bluetooth

00:03:11.200 --> 00:03:16.800
mode on this mouse. Not a huge deal breaker for me when it comes to gaming

00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:19.920
mice. I generally only use the 14 GHz modes, but it's something to know that

00:03:18.640 --> 00:03:25.599
if you are planning on traveling with this thing, you will have to bring the dongle with you. On the front, we have

00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:27.360
our recess type-C port. Goes in pretty

00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:31.200
easy, and you could definitely use this mouse in this configuration, although I

00:03:29.440 --> 00:03:35.440
have doubts about the reliability of this cable. The recess in the type-C

00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:39.120
slot is big enough that I could see some cables having trouble, but it's not so

00:03:37.040 --> 00:03:43.599
snug that it feels like only one cable in the entire world will fit. The dongle

00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:48.720
doesn't look like much. Uh, it's got its type-C port. Boom. We're done. What's

00:03:46.640 --> 00:03:52.000
next? Keyboard. Now, this is something I have a little less familiarity with. I

00:03:50.239 --> 00:03:55.840
don't think I've ever unboxed a keyboard on ShortCircuit, but these are just

00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:59.519
such a cool pair that we wanted to do them together. And I was really curious

00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:04.400
because it seems like everyone who's had hands-on with this keyboard really like

00:04:01.200 --> 00:04:08.720
it. And there's not too much in the box.

00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:12.319
We have another braided 6ft cable. Very

00:04:08.720 --> 00:04:16.479
nice warranty. More stickers. And that's

00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:19.759
it. Simple, effective, very nice. This

00:04:16.479 --> 00:04:22.240
is a pretty fully loaded nice keyboard.

00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:25.919
It's got a CNC aluminum body even though it has a plastic bottom that doesn't

00:04:23.840 --> 00:04:32.160
feel quite as premium. Uh, but it has foam. It's gasket mounted. Uh, and it

00:04:29.520 --> 00:04:37.600
feels to my inexperienced hands like a pretty darn nice typing experience. I

00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:41.040
like the sound of that. This one comes with linear switches that are custom

00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:44.000
gatoron hall effect ones which I actually didn't know was a thing in the

00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:47.520
keyboard space that uh there's a move towards hall effect for all the benefits

00:04:46.080 --> 00:04:52.080
that it provides. One thing that's really cool is you can actually change the actuation point in software for

00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:56.240
these so that you can have it be really really really fast response times which

00:04:54.160 --> 00:05:00.639
pairs beautifully with the keyboard's 8000 hertz polling rate. That is crazy.

00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:04.560
I'm like I'm still just getting used to a thousand baby.

00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:09.199
On the bottom we have these fold out feet. I think it's just one stage. Don't

00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:12.479
see feel any locking in between. Uh that gets it at a more comfortable angle,

00:05:10.880 --> 00:05:17.520
especially if I had a little wrist rest. But in terms of design, uh at least when

00:05:15.520 --> 00:05:22.880
it's not plugged in, this is a very nice, stealthy, classy keyboard, which

00:05:20.320 --> 00:05:26.880
is very refreshing in the gamer space where everything has to be so

00:05:24.880 --> 00:05:30.000
eye-catching and so colorful. And I'm sure as soon as I plug it in, there's

00:05:28.080 --> 00:05:35.120
going to be rainbow puke. But I think this looks quite smart and handsome,

00:05:32.960 --> 00:05:40.479
just like me. Just like I'm 75% the height of Adam Driver. This 75% layout

00:05:38.320 --> 00:05:44.400
was uh designed in conjunction with the Fanatic sports team just like the mouse

00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:48.960
was. Uh which I think is kind of interesting that they don't actually feature any Fanatics branding on the

00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:52.560
box. I don't know if that was like a they didn't want to sign a brand deal or

00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:56.240
what it was. Uh but I think it's cool that they included esports gamers

00:05:54.320 --> 00:06:02.479
without yelling that they included esports gamers. I like this keyboard. to

00:05:58.960 --> 00:06:04.240
my inexperienced gamer hands. I think

00:06:02.479 --> 00:06:06.479
we're in for a good time once I plug it in and after I tell you about our

00:06:05.840 --> 00:06:12.400
sponsor. >> I knew their Pocket Rocket P50 is a

00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:18.160
compact 10,000 mAh power bank that weighs just about 160 g. It can deliver

00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:22.560
a maximum output of 45 watts, so it can quick charge your phone, laptop, or

00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:27.199
other electronics. And with the included 60W cable that doubles as a lanyard,

00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:30.479
you'll get rocket power in a pocket size. Plus, it has a bunch of safety

00:06:29.039 --> 00:06:35.360
features and even comes with a three-year warranty. Check out the Inu

00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:38.960
Pocket Rocket P50 using our link in the description. Today, we plugged our mouse

00:06:37.280 --> 00:06:42.960
and keyboard in. Everything worked pretty quick. One thing to note is it's

00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:46.479
a press power button, not a toggle, so uh it can be a little bit confusing.

00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:50.639
First thing first, we can reassign our buttons. I ain't going to do that. We

00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:54.400
have our performance tab where we can change our DPI, our polling rate, our

00:06:53.039 --> 00:07:00.240
liftoff distance, if we want to have motion sync or angle snap. We're just going to leave everything at default uh

00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:07.120
to get the mouse's best kind of base experience. Although I want to not be at

00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:10.639
1600. We are cycling through our four profiles, but the color doesn't change.

00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:15.599
So that's kind of interesting that it doesn't tell you what you're switching

00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:18.160
to. Very interesting. And then we have device settings. So we have our

00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:21.520
different profiles. So I could essentially turn off all the profiles I

00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:25.680
don't want. Uh we can see our mouse software information. And then we get to

00:07:23.440 --> 00:07:29.039
our keyboard. We have our main layer and then we have our function layer. So, we

00:07:27.039 --> 00:07:34.240
can assign different functions for this. We're going to leave that as is

00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:35.599
performance. That's fun. Oh, okay. Uh,

00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:40.000
in our performance settings, we can change the actuation point by key. I

00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:43.440
don't think I want to mess around with this too much, but if you are a hardcore

00:07:42.080 --> 00:07:47.759
gamer, this is pretty neat because you could have your movement keys be really

00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:52.560
fast or your ultimate uh abilities really, really, really fast. That's

00:07:49.440 --> 00:07:54.639
cool. I feel like there's so much danger

00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:58.080
to changing some of the keys without realizing that you've changed others.

00:07:56.319 --> 00:08:01.039
I'm going to leave it at default, baby. We also have the ability to turn on

00:07:59.440 --> 00:08:05.599
rapid trigger, which is going to change the speed at which, you know, your D key

00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:09.120
will override your A key. Uh, but that can be a little bit dangerous for

00:08:06.960 --> 00:08:12.000
anti-che, so I'm going to leave it as is. I don't want to have all my skins

00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:15.120
gone in Apex. You know what I'm saying, though? Then we have our lighting

00:08:13.840 --> 00:08:22.639
settings. We have our preset that just cycles through different colors. We can do custom per key, different color. No.

00:08:20.479 --> 00:08:28.800
And then we can do off. Whoa. That's what I would do. I hate RGB. I guess for

00:08:26.080 --> 00:08:32.479
y'all we're going to do inzone original. What the heck is inzone original? That's

00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:36.640
a little too much. I don't mind like breathing and stuff, but when it goes fully off then fully on, I feel like

00:08:35.839 --> 00:08:42.320
that's going to be a little bit distracting. Let's try inzone original, too.

00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:45.920
Nah, I hate it. I hate it. This is awful. I think on like the camera you

00:08:43.680 --> 00:08:51.040
can't really see the underglow of the keys. Uh but in person it looks pretty

00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:54.480
nice. Although uh our function key is a different color and I don't think that

00:08:52.560 --> 00:08:59.279
that's meant to be. I think this thing is RGB is just busted. In our device

00:08:57.440 --> 00:09:02.160
settings we have the ability to disable kind of specific keys and key

00:09:00.560 --> 00:09:06.240
combinations. So we could disable alt tab or alt f4 if you don't want to

00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:10.959
accidentally close your game. Or if you are used to your friend rage quitting uh

00:09:08.880 --> 00:09:14.480
when you beat them in CS, you could disable that on their keyboard and then

00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:17.200
they can't rage quit as quick. Uh and then we can disable the Windows key,

00:09:15.760 --> 00:09:21.519
which is actually pretty nice. Sometimes in games when you press the Windows key accidentally, it can be pretty

00:09:19.760 --> 00:09:25.920
frustrating. Uh if you're in a high intensity moment, then we have our ultra

00:09:23.680 --> 00:09:28.720
low latency mode, which suppresses lighting power, reduces key input

00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:33.120
latency as much as possible, and enhances control performance. I'm

00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:36.880
surprised that the lighting power would reduce the input latency. Is that

00:09:34.560 --> 00:09:40.000
something you Labs people have seen before? >> Uh, that checks out.

00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:44.800
>> Yeah. Okay. Uh, and then we have our calibration. If we wanted to change our

00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:47.760
key caps or our key switches, which is nice, even though they don't advertise

00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:52.160
that it's hot swappable, this is actually a hot swappable keyboard. Uh,

00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:55.920
you can calibrate and do that there. One nice thing is that there's plans for a

00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:59.680
web app. So, you don't actually have to download and run this software on your

00:09:57.680 --> 00:10:03.440
computer. You just open the web app, customize as you want, and it saves the

00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:08.480
profiles to your devices. coming hot off a Razer mouse unboxing where I had such

00:10:06.800 --> 00:10:12.240
a bad time with that software. That's wonderful. Not that this software is

00:10:10.160 --> 00:10:16.560
bloated in any way, uh, at least to start. Uh, but having that option,

00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:21.839
fantastic. That concludes the software. Let's play a game. Okay, this feels

00:10:18.640 --> 00:10:24.720
pretty Oops. Oh god. Oh god. No. No. No.

00:10:21.839 --> 00:10:28.160
I'm thinking too much. Oh god. Oh god. Oh god.

00:10:26.560 --> 00:10:32.959
I was doing so good in the baby round. As a non- keyboard expert, this feels

00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:38.560
like a premium keyboard. Uh the issues I'm having are me just panicking.

00:10:36.560 --> 00:10:42.079
Uh not the keyboard itself. It feels like a very light press compared to what

00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:46.640
I'm used to on the keyboards I use, but I use tactile switches and so it feels

00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:50.480
very easy, very responsive. I haven't even talked about this knob. We have a

00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:54.240
volume knob even though we don't have our sound on. That's the nicest knob

00:10:52.160 --> 00:10:58.320
I've touched all day. Uh it's notched, which I prefer. Uh I like the feel of

00:10:56.640 --> 00:11:03.360
having, you know, little tactile bumps along the way. And you can click it.

00:11:00.160 --> 00:11:05.440
Although the click feels just okay, not

00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:10.320
amazing. As a gamer who buys a pretty good keyboard, this is definitely in the

00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:13.040
realm of very nice. Uh, but let's try the mouse out. That's what I know a

00:11:11.680 --> 00:11:18.079
little bit more about. Uh, first impressions, this mouse is pretty darn

00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:22.560
great. And that makes sense. The input latency is 1.17 milliseconds over

00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:28.000
wireless and just a little bit slower over wire. But both are well within the

00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:31.920
zone of very good. even if the keyboard is uh a little more impressive in its

00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:35.360
own way for input latency. The keyboard's latency was tested at 1.44

00:11:33.920 --> 00:11:39.120
milliseconds, but as you adjust the actuation point, we got our latency to

00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:43.200
such a low point that we actually couldn't test it anymore. That's pretty

00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:47.040
freaking cool. I got to say pretty quickly I've forgotten about this mouse

00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:51.200
and it's just an extension of my gaming arm. I think this is definitely a great

00:11:49.040 --> 00:11:54.720
candidate if you're looking for a pretty darn fantastic gaming mouse. It makes

00:11:53.360 --> 00:12:00.240
sense when you look at the specs. It's got a custom PW 3950 uh called the 3950

00:11:58.560 --> 00:12:06.480
IZ. We're not exactly sure what's different about that, but it has a 30K

00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:08.399
optical sensor uh 750 IPS. It feels

00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:13.839
feels great. This is a great mouse experience. Um this is definitely

00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:18.160
something I would want to consider. Uh except for this one fatal flaw. Uh and

00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:22.800
it's a pretty big fatal flaw. I'm not going to lie to you. Uh, we don't know

00:12:19.760 --> 00:12:25.040
the exact pricing on this, but uh, the

00:12:22.800 --> 00:12:31.279
best guess as of right now is this keyboard is $250

00:12:27.680 --> 00:12:33.760
and this mouse is $150.

00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:38.959
That's not dealbreaker price, but that's not we're going to disrupt the market

00:12:36.079 --> 00:12:43.360
price. At $150, there's a lot of really good gaming mice that exist. Some really

00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:47.040
good ones at about half the price, just like there's really good keyboards,

00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:51.360
especially if you're using it for gaming. So, these are very premium

00:12:48.959 --> 00:12:55.440
products, but I have to say I've been very pleased to use them. They feel

00:12:53.440 --> 00:13:00.160
great. I think they look pretty great. As Sony's kind of first modern attempts

00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:03.600
to do mouse and keyboards, these are pretty exciting. I can't wait to see uh

00:13:02.079 --> 00:13:07.839
what they do next. Just like I'm excited for you to stick around and watch another ShortCircuit. If you like mice

00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:13.279
unboxing, why don't you check out the one I recently did on the Razer Vertical

00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:16.160
Pro Click V2. It's a pretty nifty,

00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:16.160
unique gaming mouse.
