this is the greatest gaming mouse in history if razor is to be believed
spoiler alert they usually aren't the
Viper mini signature edition this is the
gaming mouse that Razer came up with with the design philosophy of price does
not matter uh let's take out the outer box we get our beautiful little uh what
I'm assuming is vegan leather box we got a little message from uh co-founder and
CEO Min langang tan your gaming math
oh I went the wrong way oh no wow look at me professional unboxer it's locked
again wow that is a nice hinge if we're raing boxes this is this is up there we
have the actual Mouse we will talk about this but
first let's just finish the unboxing wow it's got this little custom uh foam
piece it's almost felt like so it feels extra premium it's got a little name
plate signature edition this is 92 of
1337 if you don't know what that is uh
there's no helping you next we have all our documentation all the the features
oh multilingual oh they hid the razor
stickers are they ashamed are they like that's too premium for stickers but here
they are here I am chilling we have oh
nice little microfiber cloth interesting it's like more textured than I'm used to
microfiber like it almost is reminiscent of a leather look we have alcohol prep
pad and then we have some grip tape which I actually have learned to
appreciate on honeycomb mice we will talk about the body more in a bit but
I'm not a huge fan of like touching you
know this weird shape uh it feels
inconsistent on my hand it's definitely a preference thing I know a lot of people don't really care but I like
putting the grip tape on so it kind of closes it off and gives the impression
of a close- bodied Mouse oh oh the folio
goes further and this is something that's very cool you get a choice of
PTFE Mouse feet or glass Mouse feets and they are Gorilla Glass 3 so they're very
very durable I've never personally used
glass you know skates on a mouse uh but
I've heard it's supposed to be theoretically a smoother experience back
to the box we have our USB type-c cable
that is braided Razer does do a great job with their cabling on both their
wired mice and you know their accessories they always feel premium they've paid for the right to use a
different color than the USB standard the green always a nice little touch
even on the type- C side a lot of devices these days are coming with type-
C to type- C cables I think for phones that makes a lot of sense but I prefer
type a to c on a PC accessory mostly
because I have a lot more type A ports on my computer and I'm someone that even
though I know using a hub for your dungle for your mouse and keyboard
doesn't theoretically make a difference I just don't believe it I feel like
somewhere sometime I'm going to be trying to click ahead and there's just going to be some handshake somewhere
that happens that slows it down by .1 millisecond and you know that's going to
be the difference not my skill level I appreciate having type a to c for my
mice still this mouse actually comes with a really cool little accessory
although it's really poorly branded and so maybe they're
just tricking me this is the hyper
pooling wireless dongle so they sell
this as a separate accessory this is the one that's specifically made for this
mouse and it's supposed to be up to 4,000 Hertz pulling rate which is pretty
neat that's something that Razer has been pushing for a bit you know the 8K
wired mice uh but they now sell this as a separate device the 4K one that works
with I think three of their more modern mice but this one as it is their premium
prices No Object Mouse they include it with this one one thing that's important
to note is that this is made specifically with this mouse in mind it
can't be unpaired and paired to another mouse and you can't use the separate
version on this I'd imagine razor has you know a replacement program that you
can do cuz that would suck if they don't Logitech does
so that's it for the unboxing part Let's
do an exploration of the mouse first
impression is wow this is a light Mouse
that's due primarily to three things you know it's a smaller Mouse it's a mini uh
it has the honeycomb shape but what's kind of unique to this mouse is its
magnesium alloy body most mice you know there's some formula of proprietary
Plastics or rubber uh this is magnesium
alloy that's the stuff they make you know premium premium laptops out of
magnesium alloy is light it's premium feeling and it's durable you know to
scratches and stuff but it's actually one of the more corrosive Alloys that
exists it's usually corroded by you know the wrong type of screws but I don't
know if there's that many devices that are magnesium alloy that are you know in
constant contact with my disgusting uh oily hands it remains to
be seen this is a very new product if you know finger grease is going to mess
this bad boy up but as it is it looks
stunning let's just why did I add a sound it has its
own sound my sounds better though I don't know if you can see but there's a
difference in texture between the magnesium alloy sides and top and the
plastic bottom that's a compromise that makes a lot of sense it's probably a
cost-saving measure plastic still very light but the structural rigidity of the
magnesium alloy is quite impressive it's thin uh and you know the honeycomb shape
that's a lot of a lot of comb for your honey baby and it it feels solid like
I've I've held Clos bodied mice that have felt much less rigid this is quite
impressive it comes with switches that are rated for 90 million clicks which is
very high often like Logitech mice they've come with 20 million I've see 50
million very commonly they're not hot swappable like the Rog ones are which is
fine that's not a super common feature even though this is a Minnie Mouse it
doesn't feel tiny in the hands I've held some that with my hyber grip just feel
off and this my palm doesn't immediately want to land on it but it's not hard to
imagine just adjusting my grip a tiny bit so for claw this is totally a good
Mouse for hybrid it's there for Palm it
fits pretty comfortably even palm palm gripped this is uh a wellth thought out
Mouse it's slightly smaller than a G Pro X feels like it was designed with a hand
in mind not just theoretical weight uh
elimination speaking of weight this thing is 49 G according to Razer let's
find out 50 g that's close enough to 49 G for me this mouse is designed with
competitive Shooters in mind both the weight reduction but also the amount of
buttons on it it has the two primary buttons the scroll wheel with the click
and two side buttons my first impression is that they're quite thoughtfully
placed my thumb rests naturally on them uh and it's pretty easy to press both I
feel like the buttons aren't separated
enough from the body that that I would quite easily lose track of which button
I'm pressing and you know if my thumb's resting on the button or Not In the Heat
of a moment it's not a bad placement but I wish the buttons were just slightly
more pronounced on the bottom we have the pre-installed skates uh we have our
power and DPI button I don't love that
it's a power hold I would prefer that it was a toggle again weight reduction but
in the center they're hiding their focus Pro 30k optical sensor Razer touts three
big features with the sensor no asymmetric cut off uh you can customize
at what distance uh it's doing the liftoff sensor smart tracking which
seems a little weird to me it keeps track of what material it's on and
changes some settings so that it tracks better on different settings and then
motion sync which I think is just uh razor gobl where they apparently tune
the rate at which they're sending signal to the computer so that the computer can
best accept it and you know there's uh there's fewer moments of input
lag that that all being said on paper this mouse sounds absolutely fantastic I
can't wait to plug it in and test it out after I tell you about our sponsor War
Thunder War Thunder is a very comprehensive vehicle combat game it's

2,000 historically accurate aircrafts ships and planes to Pilot ranging from
1920s all the way to today every vehicle is modeled down to individual components

pairing the mouse was quite easy I plugged in the dongle held the power button and a green LED turned on to
indicate that the mouse was paired and uh Bob's your uncle you're gone let's
open up Razer synapse Razer cortex why
why do you have so many apps Razer I don't even want one and also change the
naming scheme but how am I supposed to know which one is you know the control
synapse cortex like yeah they're all Brains it's cool like for an app I get
it it but moving around the pre-installed PTF
skates are very smooth what I would do is I would keep these on until they wore
out and then you know switch them out after no need to waste perfectly good
skates having it plugged in brings my attention to the fact that there is no
RGB I'm totally okay with that I don't want any of my battery life wasted but
that's a preference thing speaking of battery they say that this thing can do
60 hours of battery depending on your polling rate so I'm guessing that's if
you set it to 125 you're going to get the full once we're finally P all the we
get our customization screens so you can customize what each button does that's
neat uh you can save different profiles you can change what the indicator LED
does so connection status battery status basically it's your battery indicator uh
and you can turn that off have it be just you know is your mouse connected I don't see any reason for that or it's
off but it'll display a blinking red when your mouse needs charging I think
that's a nice little control feature we have control of our sensitivity I'm an
800 DPI guy you can change even the number of stages that's actually neat I
usually with my mice I'll set two dpis
just so if I need it for a specific game some games have weird sensitivity
ratings so I'll have like an alternate one for a game that'll just go back to
800 if I'm playing regular competitive shooter and then here confirmation that
this dungle is 4K right here we can go
up to 4,000 KZ polling rate or for sorry
it's not Kilz that would be 4 million I
apologize previous David misspoke here's where you can control your smart
tracking set a single cut off point for your preferred distance regardless of the surface placed on I am not going to
change that the asymmetric cut off just means that you can change the distance
from liftoff and Landing the defaults are going to be fine neat that you can
change it and then you have your wireless power saving so you can set the the length of time before it goes to
sleep there's also the low power mode which you can set a percentage battery
it'll go but if I'm using the 2,000 or the 4,000 HZ pulling rate that is not
available excellent we're going to pop into some aim lab I'm going to see if I
can shoot these C4s out of the air with this uh little beast first impression
the tracking is perfect this is not the first Mouse to use that sensor the
smoothest no these skates are are quite good this is a very smooth experience
immediately yeah my hand found its comfortable position I'm finding that I
my limitations are my own not this mouse this is a very good experience uh if I
squeezed out of anger I'd be good if I slammed out of anger I feel like it's
it's feeling pretty Rock Solid but I'm very curious about the glass gate so
let's switch those out and uh see if I can tell the difference this feels like
such a shame to peel off these feet it doesn't feel like I'd be able to reuse
them like my nails kind of going into them oh yeah they're dead that's real
smooth I can't tell if that's because I'm hyper aware of is is this a smoother
experience or if it's actually smoother but that feels very good very premium
even if I press harder it's it's moving along pretty well I almost feel like I'm
hyper aware of the flaws in this
well-loved desk pad it was perfect at launch LTT sore.com I don't often like
razor products so I got to give credit where credit is due this feels very nice
this feels very premium not luxury it's still a gaming product but I don't
perceive any specific weak points whereas normally when I pick up like a
Viper ultimate there's the grip on the side that plastic feels cheap or you
know there's like a little squeeze somewhere this on first in inspection
this is a pretty Flawless product QC remains to be seen longevity remains to
be seen those concerns aside this has a 3-year warranty which which is pretty
good but as far as unboxings go this razor Mouse is really impressive and it
better be this thing cost
$280 that ain't cheap at that price you
could buy two G Pro X super lights and to be fair they can justify the price by
you know 4K dongle magnesium alloy even
lighter than a G Pro X it feels looks great it it plays great but $280 for a
mouse that is is kind of a hard pill to
swallow yeah there's you know some Starlight mice that are getting close to
that but they're all like special editions beautiful mice I think that if
Razer wants to justify that price they might have to bring some of their customization features from some of
their other mice and let you personalize this mouse or make some you know
signature signature editions but all in all I can't say that it's not worth the
$280 I know it's expensive I know that's a really premium price and trust me I
probably can't afford it myself but this mouse feels like $280 and I'm beyond
impressed and totally taken back that Razer has managed to make a product that
I really want thank you so much for watching ShortCircuit if you like
