WEBVTT 00:00:00.399 --> 00:00:10.480 today I'll be unboxing my all-time favorite Mouse this is the steel series 00:00:05.319 --> 00:00:12.360 iari laser it is as I just said my 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 00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:24.880 Microsoft steel series all of the big gaming companies Logitech and this one 00:00:21.439 --> 00:00:27.160 is just the best as far as I can tell 00:00:24.880 --> 00:00:31.199 now you might ask me why I am unboxing something that is already my favorite 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 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 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 00:00:42.680 --> 00:00:49.039 started registering uh single clicks as a as a double click and so I mean I 00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:52.760 talked to Steel series about it they said that's a very unusual occurrence I 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 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 00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:04.839 one was acting a little finicky so I got 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 00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:14.000 managed to focus the camera on just yet I've just been kind of talking here 00:01:12.119 --> 00:01:20.159 inside the Box you will find pretty much the mouse okay you'll find uh plastic 00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:23.960 cover for the mouse you will also find a 00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:26.320 silica gel throw it away do not eat it 00:01:23.960 --> 00:01:30.280 please next you will find some more do not 00:01:27.240 --> 00:01:33.720 eat and then you will find ah okay here 00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:36.159 we go here will we have 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 00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:43.119 series logo hidden in the packaging just 00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:48.600 like that it's like completely hidden away until you until you open up the 00:01:45.240 --> 00:01:51.719 little doors and then behind those doors 00:01:48.600 --> 00:01:54.600 you will find a steel series iari laser 00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:59.119 driver software which actually okay I'm about to do something unusual you can go 00:01:56.880 --> 00:02:04.119 ahead and install the drivers from the disc because I don't believe that steel 00:02:01.240 --> 00:02:09.080 Series has ever updated this software uh the version on their website is version 00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:11.080 1.0 and this is version 1.0 uh if if 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 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 00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:26.160 series sticker I also have a little steel series brochure about their other 00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:31.200 products including headsets keyboards and mousing surfaces and then I've got a 00:02:29.239 --> 00:02:35.879 little manual for the aari laser shows you how to configure your mouse which 00:02:34.160 --> 00:02:40.519 which buttons do what you can also reconfigure them all talks about the 00:02:37.480 --> 00:02:43.560 spec of the mouse as well as showing you 00:02:40.519 --> 00:02:45.720 how to do profiles and macros and button 00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:49.640 settings and sensitivity settings that's one of the coolest things about this 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 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 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 00:03:00.640 --> 00:03:06.840 controlled in software to within one CPI 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 00:03:08.959 --> 00:03:15.560 inch rather than dots per inch so you can make adjustments unlike most gaming 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 00:03:18.720 --> 00:03:27.360 your levels you can actually take the acari laser and you can set it to 00:03:22.920 --> 00:03:30.200 623 CPI or you can set it to 624 CPI if 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 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 00:03:35.799 --> 00:03:42.159 means that you you actually program your CPI settings your Macros everything you 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:45.920 want into the mouse itself it has onboard memory and when you plug it into 00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:50.560 the computer I'm going to show you there's actually a little display on the 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 00:03:52.720 --> 00:03:58.079 goldplated USB connector I should probably mention that okay so there's a 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 00:03:59.879 --> 00:04:04.680 find my remote that shows you which 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 00:04:06.200 --> 00:04:11.120 your computer and then you can just easily check the bottom of the mouse to 00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:14.040 see which one you're using and then it just takes all of that profile 00:04:12.519 --> 00:04:18.840 information and you do not have to install any drivers on a computer that 00:04:15.640 --> 00:04:20.519 you use the aari laser on and let me see 00:04:18.840 --> 00:04:23.759 what else should I talk about software is really easy to use you've got a 00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:29.080 couple of different oh yeah you can only adjust it for two different DPI or CPI 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:34.120 settings so you press the button on the top and that light switches to high or 00:04:31.039 --> 00:04:36.560 low and then I honestly I found I only 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 00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:44.560 got that because you can adjust it to such a fine degree you don't actually 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 00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:52.800 I'm doing a lot of zooming here I apologize for that has back and forward 00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:55.600 buttons on this side for your thumb and I should probably talk a little bit 00:04:54.360 --> 00:05:01.160 about the shape it's a fairly light Mouse but this is easily the most 00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:08.600 ergonomic Mouse that I have ever encountered ever because it just melts 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 00:05:10.400 --> 00:05:15.560 it just melts in your hand it is perfectly like it feels like an 00:05:14.080 --> 00:05:19.400 extension of your body when you're gliding it over a surface so that's 00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:23.919 pretty nice oh yeah it has nice big nonslip or rather non-slip it has nice 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 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 00:05:31.919 --> 00:05:36.560 plus so it's their large thin cloth pad 00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:41.000 since I got this one they've actually released a thick a couple thick ones the 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 00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:49.720 exceptionally well with the qck series thank you for checking out my unboxing 00:05:46.520 --> 00:05:51.199 of the steel series iari laser my 00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:58.120 favorite Mouse I've actually had a lot of people message me asking me about my 00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:58.120 favorite Mouse this is it
