00:00:00,399 --> 00:00:10,480
today I'll be unboxing my all-time favorite Mouse this is the steel series

2
00:00:05,319 --> 00:00:12,360
iari laser it is as I just said my

3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:17,800
all-time favorite Mouse and I have used a lot of mice from the likes of Razer

4
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:24,880
Microsoft steel series all of the big gaming companies Logitech and this one

5
00:00:21,439 --> 00:00:27,160
is just the best as far as I can tell

6
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:31,199
now you might ask me why I am unboxing something that is already my favorite

7
00:00:29,439 --> 00:00:35,600
and uh I haven't told you this yet but I already have over a Year's experience

8
00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:40,440
using this mouse and the reason is that mine finally gave up the ghost I've been

9
00:00:37,719 --> 00:00:45,200
using it for a long time um and it started acting a little bit weird uh it

10
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:49,039
started registering uh single clicks as a as a double click and so I mean I

11
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:52,760
talked to Steel series about it they said that's a very unusual occurrence I

12
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:56,039
do believe them cuz I've got a fair amount of other steel series gear in my

13
00:00:54,480 --> 00:01:01,960
house and I've never had any problems with any of it but um yeah anyway my old

14
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:04,839
one was acting a little finicky so I got

15
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:10,360
a new one shipped over and I am unboxing it so inside the box which I haven't

16
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:14,000
managed to focus the camera on just yet I've just been kind of talking here

17
00:01:12,119 --> 00:01:20,159
inside the Box you will find pretty much the mouse okay you'll find uh plastic

18
00:01:17,159 --> 00:01:23,960
cover for the mouse you will also find a

19
00:01:20,159 --> 00:01:26,320
silica gel throw it away do not eat it

20
00:01:23,960 --> 00:01:30,280
please next you will find some more do not

21
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:33,720
eat and then you will find ah okay here

22
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:36,159
we go here will we have

23
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:41,439
little oh that's kind of neat so you unfold this and then there's a steel

24
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:43,119
series logo hidden in the packaging just

25
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:48,600
like that it's like completely hidden away until you until you open up the

26
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:51,719
little doors and then behind those doors

27
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:54,600
you will find a steel series iari laser

28
00:01:51,719 --> 00:01:59,119
driver software which actually okay I'm about to do something unusual you can go

29
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:04,119
ahead and install the drivers from the disc because I don't believe that steel

30
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:09,080
Series has ever updated this software uh the version on their website is version

31
00:02:05,719 --> 00:02:11,080
1.0 and this is version 1.0 uh if if

32
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:15,120
it's still if it's still like that and so I guess it goes to show you you ride

33
00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:20,879
a driver well the first time you never deal with it again um I have a steel

34
00:02:18,319 --> 00:02:26,160
series sticker I also have a little steel series brochure about their other

35
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:31,200
products including headsets keyboards and mousing surfaces and then I've got a

36
00:02:29,239 --> 00:02:35,879
little manual for the aari laser shows you how to configure your mouse which

37
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:40,519
which buttons do what you can also reconfigure them all talks about the

38
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:43,560
spec of the mouse as well as showing you

39
00:02:40,519 --> 00:02:45,720
how to do profiles and macros and button

40
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:49,640
settings and sensitivity settings that's one of the coolest things about this

41
00:02:46,959 --> 00:02:54,920
mouse just like the Z which has actually come out to sort of uh replace the aari

42
00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:58,640
laser I've got a z over there but it's kind of attached to a computer so it'll

43
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:04,640
be kind of tricky to show it to you but just like the Z thear laser can be

44
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:06,840
controlled in software to within one CPI

45
00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:10,879
now CPI is you can think of it as kind of like DPI but it's actually counts per

46
00:03:08,959 --> 00:03:15,560
inch rather than dots per inch so you can make adjustments unlike most gaming

47
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:20,280
mice where you can go okay um you know 500 700,00 DPI those are your those are

48
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:27,360
your levels you can actually take the acari laser and you can set it to

49
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:30,200
623 CPI or you can set it to 624 CPI if

50
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:33,840
623 is a little too low now I personally find that to be one of the best features

51
00:03:31,799 --> 00:03:38,200
of this mouse and the next best one has got to be that it's driverless that

52
00:03:35,799 --> 00:03:42,159
means that you you actually program your CPI settings your Macros everything you

53
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:45,920
want into the mouse itself it has onboard memory and when you plug it into

54
00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:50,560
the computer I'm going to show you there's actually a little display on the

55
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:54,519
bottom just like the Z just going to plug that in so I can show you o

56
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:58,079
goldplated USB connector I should probably mention that okay so there's a

57
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:03,120
little display on the bottom I'll zoom in so you can see it if I could just

58
00:03:59,879 --> 00:04:04,680
find my remote that shows you which

59
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,959
profile you're using so you can set up a bunch of different profiles save them on

60
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:11,120
your computer and then you can just easily check the bottom of the mouse to

61
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:14,040
see which one you're using and then it just takes all of that profile

62
00:04:12,519 --> 00:04:18,840
information and you do not have to install any drivers on a computer that

63
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:20,519
you use the aari laser on and let me see

64
00:04:18,840 --> 00:04:23,759
what else should I talk about software is really easy to use you've got a

65
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:29,080
couple of different oh yeah you can only adjust it for two different DPI or CPI

66
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:34,120
settings so you press the button on the top and that light switches to high or

67
00:04:31,039 --> 00:04:36,560
low and then I honestly I found I only

68
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:40,960
needed two I needed one for regular use and one for sniping and then when you've

69
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:44,560
got that because you can adjust it to such a fine degree you don't actually

70
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:48,199
need to Tinker with it a whole lot it has back and forward buttons on the side

71
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:52,800
I'm doing a lot of zooming here I apologize for that has back and forward

72
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:55,600
buttons on this side for your thumb and I should probably talk a little bit

73
00:04:54,360 --> 00:05:01,160
about the shape it's a fairly light Mouse but this is easily the most

74
00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:08,600
ergonomic Mouse that I have ever encountered ever because it just melts

75
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:12,560
in your hand so to speak I mean it still works after the melting is all done but

76
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:15,560
it just melts in your hand it is perfectly like it feels like an

77
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:19,400
extension of your body when you're gliding it over a surface so that's

78
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:23,919
pretty nice oh yeah it has nice big nonslip or rather non-slip it has nice

79
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:28,400
big slippy feet on the bottom so it's suitable for use with a hard surface as

80
00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:35,240
well as a soft surface I actually use a cloth pad with it the steel series qck

81
00:05:31,919 --> 00:05:36,560
plus so it's their large thin cloth pad

82
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:41,000
since I got this one they've actually released a thick a couple thick ones the

83
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:44,880
mass as well as the heavy and I wouldn't mind trying one of those but it works

84
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:49,720
exceptionally well with the qck series thank you for checking out my unboxing

85
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:51,199
of the steel series iari laser my

86
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:58,120
favorite Mouse I've actually had a lot of people message me asking me about my

87
00:05:53,199 --> 00:05:58,120
favorite Mouse this is it
