WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.240 Here at Shortcircuit, we unbox a ton of mice, but it's rare I get to unbox the 00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:10.080 successor to the mouse I use at home. That's right, I use a G Pro X 00:00:07.800 --> 00:00:15.880 Superlight, and this is the G Pro X Superlight 2C, which is a name that is 00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:20.000 too long. It is wild. How did they think that was acceptable? The thing that 00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:21.120 makes this special is the C at the end of the 2C. 00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:27.600 >> [music] >> It's compact. It's cool. It's crazy. The 00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:33.360 C stands for all of those things. Inside the box, you get your mouse. You get 00:00:29.840 --> 00:00:35.040 your C to A adapter plus your A 00:00:33.360 --> 00:00:40.360 dongle. You get a cable. This is 00:00:38.760 --> 00:00:43.960 nicer packaging than I feel like I've seen for a while with mice. I feel like 00:00:42.160 --> 00:00:47.600 they've been getting cheaper and cheaper under the guise of environmentally 00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:50.720 friendly, but this is pretty slick packaging, not too 00:00:49.160 --> 00:00:54.680 restrictive, either. At the end, you're kind of left with a semi-reusable box. 00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:59.640 We have our quick start guide and instruction manual. We also have grip 00:00:57.440 --> 00:01:04.239 tape. That seems to be a a trend that's happening more and more. No extra 00:01:02.080 --> 00:01:09.680 skates, which actually I would prefer over the grip tape, but you do have a 00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:12.520 different bottom uh with glide skates on 00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:17.840 it because what's installed in the mouse is actually just an ad for an additional 00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:19.240 product that you don't have. This is 00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:24.320 stupid waste of money. Why would they include an extra disc that is just 00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:25.520 objectively worse than the one 00:01:24.320 --> 00:01:29.920 with the glide skates on it. That doesn't make any sense. Get it together, 00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:34.720 Logitech. Next, we have what seems to be a 6-ft long 00:01:31.960 --> 00:01:38.720 non-braided cable, just rubber. It's decent quality, but it is certainly not 00:01:37.080 --> 00:01:42.240 what I would hope to see in such a high-end product. It's fine. It's just a 00:01:41.320 --> 00:01:49.320 cable, and you're probably not even going to use it anyway. You probably already have >> [music] >> a type-C cable coming off your computer 00:01:46.600 --> 00:01:54.160 to your mouse to charge. You're fine. The grip tape has a sort of like 00:01:51.080 --> 00:01:56.360 rubberized leather sort of feel. I don't 00:01:54.160 --> 00:02:01.000 use it. I have fairly sweaty hands, but not so sweaty that I really need 00:01:58.720 --> 00:02:05.120 that in my life. I also find these get so grimy and gross 00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:09.720 on top of the normal grimy and grossness that mice get. So, bye-bye. 00:02:08.119 --> 00:02:15.120 Here we go. This is what you need in the box. We did it. And the star of the show, the 00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:19.440 mouse. At first glance, I would not blame you for not being able to tell the 00:02:17.040 --> 00:02:24.080 difference between a regular Superlight and this. They are basically the exact 00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:28.480 same shape shrunk down, but not even shrunk down to 00:02:26.760 --> 00:02:33.280 a super high level where it's immediately obvious that it's a smaller 00:02:30.160 --> 00:02:35.920 mouse. Even in my hand, it's like yeah, 00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:39.520 I was literally using a G Pro upstairs, and this is smaller, but it's not that 00:02:38.040 --> 00:02:43.240 much smaller. What I will say is that I'm more naturally inclined to claw grip 00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:46.400 this size of mouse. Even with that subtle difference, it is a difference in 00:02:44.640 --> 00:02:50.880 grip. And really, with mice being the way they are, 00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:54.560 the shape of it is the biggest differentiating factor between all of 00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:57.880 the high-end mice, as well as price. And so, this might be 00:02:56.320 --> 00:03:02.800 a good option for you if you've held a G Pro and you're like, "Ah, it's just >> [music] >> a little too big." You might be 00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:09.080 interested in this. You might also be interested in these buttons. They are 00:03:06.320 --> 00:03:12.760 about as travelly as I have felt in a long time on a gaming mouse. 00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:17.720 Every part of this button, it feels like it's like really moving, which could be good for 00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:21.320 you, could be bad for you, but that's really noticeable how much travel we 00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:25.440 got. This button experience is due in part to Logitech's proprietary 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:30.160 Lightforce switches, which seem to be a hybrid optical-mechanical switch, which 00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:35.480 they are not clear exactly what's going on there, and they don't tell you how many clicks it's rated for, which is a 00:03:33.760 --> 00:03:40.640 bit of a bummer in a world where we're getting like 80 million click switches. 00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:44.360 I expect this to probably be in the 10 to 20 million range cuz that's what 00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:49.280 they've had on previous mice, and that kind of sucks in a world where our mice 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:51.800 are very performance way beyond what we 00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:56.040 need, reliability is becoming one of the main factors in why you would spend so 00:03:53.800 --> 00:04:00.000 much on a gaming [music] mouse. The scroll wheel feels pretty good in its 00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:04.280 scrolling tactility. The clicking is kind of mushy and 00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:08.360 crappy, not the best. On the side, we have two side buttons. They're a lighter 00:04:06.480 --> 00:04:14.120 click than the top uh and a pretty consistent 00:04:11.760 --> 00:04:17.959 experience across the shape of them. If I was to claw grip this, what I'm 00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:22.320 finding immediately with the shape is that both the side buttons 00:04:20.400 --> 00:04:26.080 and especially the scroll wheel are really far forward. Like, if you look at 00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:30.880 this in the top down, it feels like the scroll wheel should be a little further 00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:34.680 back based on at least where my fingers naturally land on this thing. Like, not 00:04:32.760 --> 00:04:37.560 a big deal. I can reach that, but it's like it would be nice if I could just go 00:04:35.880 --> 00:04:41.480 here for my scroll wheel experience. So, don't love the side buttons' positions. 00:04:39.640 --> 00:04:44.800 What I do love is the amount of PTFE glide skates on the bottom. Look at 00:04:43.080 --> 00:04:48.840 that. That's like barely even a mouse. It's more glide 00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:52.520 skate than mouse, man. That's crazy. You could swap it out for the one without 00:04:50.080 --> 00:04:55.440 it. You would presumably save less than a gram. I don't see any reason not to 00:04:54.280 --> 00:05:01.440 use this if you don't have the power play puck. They keep things simple on the bottom with just a on-off switch, 00:04:59.400 --> 00:05:06.920 which means that there is no Bluetooth mode. It is just using a dongle with 2.4 00:05:03.640 --> 00:05:09.760 GHz or a wired mode through the type-C 00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:14.400 port on the front. It is fairly recessed in there. You might have struggles not 00:05:11.840 --> 00:05:17.320 using this type-C cable, but it is a fairly chunky type-C cable, so I think 00:05:16.280 --> 00:05:24.160 it should your experience should be fine. Other than that and a little bit of branding on the side and top, it is a 00:05:21.320 --> 00:05:28.360 ridiculously simple-looking mouse, and that is part of its success. It is a 00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:32.000 no-nonsense machine with a focus on getting the engineering right to have it 00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:37.360 be a very light experience. This is a 51-g mouse without the dongle inside, 00:05:35.520 --> 00:05:41.400 which means that it's on the lighter end of gaming mice, but it is not on the 00:05:38.880 --> 00:05:45.480 cutting edge of high-end gaming mice in terms of weight. 00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:48.760 However, we're so far past the point of diminishing returns. If this is the 00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:54.120 shape that you are in love with or you're Logitech faithful, I think 51 g 00:05:51.760 --> 00:05:58.480 is very sufficient. What you can also expect at the high end is an incredible 00:05:56.280 --> 00:06:06.040 sensor. We have the Hero 2 sensor up to 44,000 DPI, 888 IPS, and 88 Gs of 00:06:02.960 --> 00:06:07.920 acceleration. This is far beyond what 00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:12.280 you need for your mouse to be good. Up to 95 hours of battery life, as well as 00:06:10.440 --> 00:06:17.000 an 8K Hz polling rate if you're into that kind of thing. And that's kind of 00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:21.320 it. And that's fine. Gaming mice don't have to have a ton of features to do 00:06:18.640 --> 00:06:26.680 what they do really well. You just want a good shape, good materials, 00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:30.600 reliability, solid sensor, and this has it. But does it have what it takes to be 00:06:28.640 --> 00:06:35.080 special? Let's find out after we tell you about our sponsor. UGREEN. Are you 00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:39.320 sick of paying out the wazoo for cloud storage? Maybe it's time to switch to a 00:06:37.080 --> 00:06:46.440 NAS. With a UGREEN NAS, you can store up to 60 TB of data locally. That's 20 00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:50.960 million pictures, 40,000 movies, or over 60 million files, whatever that means. 00:06:49.200 --> 00:06:55.240 Plus, you can use it to automatically back up from your iPhone or Mac, share 00:06:53.520 --> 00:07:00.760 files with your family and friends, and you can even connect instantly via NFC 00:06:58.440 --> 00:07:04.320 on most devices. 1 gigabit networking means that you'll be transferring a 00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:08.240 whole gig worth of files in just a few seconds, much quicker than cloud 00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:12.800 options, and it's compatible with a wide range of third-party hard drives. And 00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:17.400 thanks to RAID redundancy, your files can be safe even during a drive failure. 00:07:15.640 --> 00:07:22.880 So, head to our link in the description to check out the UGREEN NAS DH2300 00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:26.200 today. Excellent. Once we install the software, we can connect the mouse and 00:07:24.840 --> 00:07:28.360 configure it. We don't even have to plug it in directly. Big fan of that. 00:07:28.025 --> 00:07:33.000 >> [music] >> Tells us what we got, just so we can be happy we can be happy with our purchase. 00:07:31.760 --> 00:07:39.720 I'm going to skip that, though. I don't need that. Okay, first thing we can do 00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:42.160 is change our DPI settings. I'm guessing 00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:45.560 there's a button combo for like profile switching, but I don't see 00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:51.280 I don't see that. Why am I getting so overwhelmed by this menu for a very 00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:54.640 simple mouse? Once we're in our software, we can adjust our different 00:07:52.840 --> 00:07:58.400 profiles. There's already a ton here. I'm surprised. It's kind of overwhelming 00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:01.760 how many there are. We can set if we want lots of different DPI settings that 00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:05.320 we can assign to a button or a button 00:08:03.880 --> 00:08:09.920 combination of our keyboard and mouse, so we can swap between them. I will not 00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:14.040 be doing that. I wish to only use one slot, and it will be 800. We can also 00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:19.680 change our wireless report rate up to 8,000 and our wired report rate up to 00:08:16.840 --> 00:08:23.760 1,000. Bit of a bummer. We can also calibrate our Hero sensor. Oh, that's 00:08:21.440 --> 00:08:27.400 something that's not super common. Copy sensitivity. Adjust one mouse to mimic 00:08:25.440 --> 00:08:30.640 the feel of another mouse. Okay, so the Hero sensor calibration isn't like a 00:08:28.880 --> 00:08:33.880 calibrating so much as a [music] matching the feel of another mouse. 00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:37.919 That's kind of interesting, but I will not be doing that. You can also swap it 00:08:35.800 --> 00:08:42.800 to advanced mode, which uh basically gives you access to having 00:08:40.880 --> 00:08:46.920 different sensitivity on the Y and X axis, as well as your your lift-off 00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:54.120 distance. [music] And then we can like duplicate our presets, share our presets, uh you know, like the you and 00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:59.120 the boys do on Facebook. You're like, "Check out my DPI settings." 00:08:56.520 --> 00:09:03.720 Next, we can change the assignments. Um it looks like we can assign mouse 00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:08.760 functions to button combos. Um this is very deep, but uh this is not 00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:12.960 what we need. Um and seeing as there is no RGB on this mouse, shout out Logitech 00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:17.600 for the right decision. Then we can change our scroll 00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:22.280 wheel. Oh, so we can turn on bunny hop mode, which basically uh means that you 00:09:19.640 --> 00:09:26.480 have to scroll twice to actually kind of activate it. Uh I don't want to do that 00:09:24.160 --> 00:09:29.720 because I will just be like down one at a time for my weapon 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:34.160 selection. Oh, I actually really like this menu. We can see the approximate uh 00:09:32.520 --> 00:09:38.360 battery life based on our settings that we have, which is about 18 hours because 00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:43.400 we're using 8,000 Hz polling rate. Lightforce switch mode. Oh, so it's 00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:47.520 either hybrid, which I'm guessing engages just the mechanical part, and 00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:50.816 then optical only, which presumably would actually save me battery life 00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:54.720 based on this power saving. >> [music] >> Gaming surface mode. If I turn it on, 00:09:53.400 --> 00:09:59.200 sensor parameters are optimized for gaming-specific surfaces. 00:09:56.920 --> 00:10:03.880 Okay. Off. sensor parameters are optimized for compatibility with a wide 00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:07.320 range of surfaces. And auto, sensor will automatically [music] detect the type of 00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:12.720 surface. Well, I only game on gaming surfaces that I get from lttstore.com, 00:10:09.920 --> 00:10:16.720 so I'm going to choose that. And onboard memory mode and then I have 00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:18.920 my different profile things. Okay. Uh, 00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:23.720 strange that the most exciting part of the menu was the like system menu that 00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:27.080 was sort of hidden away. Um, but I really like that one, so 00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:32.080 that's great. But will I really like it a lot when I play games? 00:10:29.680 --> 00:10:35.760 Huh. Immediately in game, this is a very 00:10:33.920 --> 00:10:40.440 familiar experience for me. Uh, I use a superlight. Uh, this feels very 00:10:38.880 --> 00:10:46.120 very similar, slightly smaller, so I'm clawing it a little bit more. Responsiveness is great. The accuracy is 00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:52.200 great as we tested it. The latency is also great. We tested it both wired and 00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:54.320 wireless at 1.31 milliseconds, which is 00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:59.560 not sub 1 millisecond, which is sort of the ideal. Um, but this is still very 00:10:57.360 --> 00:11:04.200 good. It is interesting that both wired and wireless are exactly the same, 00:11:00.920 --> 00:11:05.760 although we had uh, a wider scatter on 00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:09.000 the wired testing. So we don't know if that's like a crosstalk thing or maybe 00:11:07.280 --> 00:11:13.160 it's just an optimization over wireless sort of thing. Um, cuz I'm 00:11:11.520 --> 00:11:15.960 guessing that Logitech has optimized this mouse to be used in wireless mode 00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:20.560 more than a wired mode. Why would you buy this and use it in wired mode? One thing I'm interested in that the Labs 00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:25.280 noted is that they were sometimes getting right clicks when they pressed 00:11:22.760 --> 00:11:30.560 really hard on the left click. Oh, you can sort of see the flex. 00:11:28.800 --> 00:11:34.440 So you can see the whole mouse 00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:37.680 is kind of shifting a little bit. And they were reporting that sometimes they 00:11:35.760 --> 00:11:40.280 would get phantom clicks on the right side. 00:11:40.839 --> 00:11:46.040 So that's something that's kind of interesting. 00:11:44.680 --> 00:11:50.760 I have a feeling that if you have a very very heavy hand, that's the only time it would be an issue. I was pressing pretty 00:11:49.280 --> 00:11:56.320 hard. The other thing they noted was that it's a very loud sound. That goes with 00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:58.600 the amount of click and travel that there is. 00:11:57.640 --> 00:12:03.040 It kind of has a little bit of like a ping, almost a musical tone to it. 00:12:04.560 --> 00:12:11.643 So that means this really would not be a good office mouse if you share an office 00:12:08.920 --> 00:12:13.760 with someone who is sensitive to sounds. >> [laughter] 00:12:12.520 --> 00:12:19.160 >> It's really hard to give first impressions on mice because 00:12:16.400 --> 00:12:23.800 they're all so solid these days. Like they they keep refreshing them and 00:12:21.280 --> 00:12:28.600 updating them when we already reached end game mice 00:12:26.040 --> 00:12:32.400 several years ago. To me, it's getting frustrating that they're spending so 00:12:29.920 --> 00:12:37.960 much money on designing these new mice and providing so little upgrade versus 00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:42.640 previous years mice. Um, especially when it's $160 00:12:40.160 --> 00:12:47.160 now. $160 for a high-end gaming mice, not even top 00:12:44.760 --> 00:12:51.760 end, just like that's just the zone it's in. And so I think this is a very solid 00:12:49.800 --> 00:12:55.528 option. If you've always liked the G Pro lineup, you wanted an X 00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:58.880 uh, a superlight, >> [music] >> this is good if you wanted it to be a 00:12:57.440 --> 00:13:04.240 little bit smaller and a little bit more clawable. Um, but it really doesn't rewrite the 00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:07.520 book, which is good. That's there's a reason why this lineup was one of the most popular lineups. 00:13:07.319 --> 00:13:13.720 >> [music] >> Um, but in a world where other manufacturers are kind of disrupting the 00:13:11.920 --> 00:13:17.240 market aggressively, it's hard to recommend this specifically when you can 00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:20.800 get a Hitman Hyperlight or any of the Keychron mice. I didn't realize they 00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:25.480 made as broad of a lineup as they did. It's crazy. It'll have similar specs at 00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:30.320 prices that are much more digestible. We're talking like 00:13:27.040 --> 00:13:31.960 90 bucks or 40 to 70 dollars. And if you 00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:35.484 want to go even cheaper and stick with Logitech, they have the G305 Lightspeed 00:13:34.760 --> 00:13:39.640 for >> [music] >> prices I've seen under $30. 00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:43.960 And you're not going to get that different of real world performance. 00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:47.280 Certainly not something that I think would justify the price difference. 00:13:45.920 --> 00:13:52.040 However, [music] if $160 is not a deterrent to you and 00:13:50.280 --> 00:13:56.600 you were looking for a slightly smaller mouse, this is a very solid option that 00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:59.280 I think you could check out and look a little bit more deeper at. 00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:08.120 Uh, just like you can go a little bit more deeper in our catalog, like the time that I unboxed the ASUS Harp 2 Ace 00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:15.000 Extreme. God, these names. What are they doing with these names? Keep it simple. 00:14:10.160 --> 00:14:15.000 Keep it simple, stupid.
