today I'll be unboxing my all-time favorite Mouse this is the steel series
iari laser it is as I just said my
all-time favorite Mouse and I have used a lot of mice from the likes of Razer
Microsoft steel series all of the big gaming companies Logitech and this one
is just the best as far as I can tell
now you might ask me why I am unboxing something that is already my favorite
and uh I haven't told you this yet but I already have over a Year's experience
using this mouse and the reason is that mine finally gave up the ghost I've been
using it for a long time um and it started acting a little bit weird uh it
started registering uh single clicks as a as a double click and so I mean I
talked to Steel series about it they said that's a very unusual occurrence I
do believe them cuz I've got a fair amount of other steel series gear in my
house and I've never had any problems with any of it but um yeah anyway my old
one was acting a little finicky so I got
a new one shipped over and I am unboxing it so inside the box which I haven't
managed to focus the camera on just yet I've just been kind of talking here
inside the Box you will find pretty much the mouse okay you'll find uh plastic
cover for the mouse you will also find a
silica gel throw it away do not eat it
please next you will find some more do not
eat and then you will find ah okay here
we go here will we have
little oh that's kind of neat so you unfold this and then there's a steel
series logo hidden in the packaging just
like that it's like completely hidden away until you until you open up the
little doors and then behind those doors
you will find a steel series iari laser
driver software which actually okay I'm about to do something unusual you can go
ahead and install the drivers from the disc because I don't believe that steel
Series has ever updated this software uh the version on their website is version
1.0 and this is version 1.0 uh if if
it's still if it's still like that and so I guess it goes to show you you ride
a driver well the first time you never deal with it again um I have a steel
series sticker I also have a little steel series brochure about their other
products including headsets keyboards and mousing surfaces and then I've got a
little manual for the aari laser shows you how to configure your mouse which
which buttons do what you can also reconfigure them all talks about the
spec of the mouse as well as showing you
how to do profiles and macros and button
settings and sensitivity settings that's one of the coolest things about this
mouse just like the Z which has actually come out to sort of uh replace the aari
laser I've got a z over there but it's kind of attached to a computer so it'll
be kind of tricky to show it to you but just like the Z thear laser can be
controlled in software to within one CPI
now CPI is you can think of it as kind of like DPI but it's actually counts per
inch rather than dots per inch so you can make adjustments unlike most gaming
mice where you can go okay um you know 500 700,00 DPI those are your those are
your levels you can actually take the acari laser and you can set it to
623 CPI or you can set it to 624 CPI if
623 is a little too low now I personally find that to be one of the best features
of this mouse and the next best one has got to be that it's driverless that
means that you you actually program your CPI settings your Macros everything you
want into the mouse itself it has onboard memory and when you plug it into
the computer I'm going to show you there's actually a little display on the
bottom just like the Z just going to plug that in so I can show you o
goldplated USB connector I should probably mention that okay so there's a
little display on the bottom I'll zoom in so you can see it if I could just
find my remote that shows you which
profile you're using so you can set up a bunch of different profiles save them on
your computer and then you can just easily check the bottom of the mouse to
see which one you're using and then it just takes all of that profile
information and you do not have to install any drivers on a computer that
you use the aari laser on and let me see
what else should I talk about software is really easy to use you've got a
couple of different oh yeah you can only adjust it for two different DPI or CPI
settings so you press the button on the top and that light switches to high or
low and then I honestly I found I only
needed two I needed one for regular use and one for sniping and then when you've
got that because you can adjust it to such a fine degree you don't actually
need to Tinker with it a whole lot it has back and forward buttons on the side
I'm doing a lot of zooming here I apologize for that has back and forward
buttons on this side for your thumb and I should probably talk a little bit
about the shape it's a fairly light Mouse but this is easily the most
ergonomic Mouse that I have ever encountered ever because it just melts
in your hand so to speak I mean it still works after the melting is all done but
it just melts in your hand it is perfectly like it feels like an
extension of your body when you're gliding it over a surface so that's
pretty nice oh yeah it has nice big nonslip or rather non-slip it has nice
big slippy feet on the bottom so it's suitable for use with a hard surface as
well as a soft surface I actually use a cloth pad with it the steel series qck
plus so it's their large thin cloth pad
since I got this one they've actually released a thick a couple thick ones the
mass as well as the heavy and I wouldn't mind trying one of those but it works
exceptionally well with the qck series thank you for checking out my unboxing
of the steel series iari laser my
favorite Mouse I've actually had a lot of people message me asking me about my
favorite Mouse this is it
