WEBVTT

00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:05.279
come on I totally had him stupid thing

00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:12.920
must be broken oh darn it now I need a new

00:00:08.840 --> 00:00:15.879
mouse but after some deep introspection

00:00:12.920 --> 00:00:21.199
I think it's worth at least considering that this could be a skill issue and it

00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:25.320
might not be worth spending a $100 or more on something like this razor Death

00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:30.000
Adder just so that I can miss heads in Counterstrike and why should I when our

00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:34.840
Labs team found these mice on AliExpress press that look like they are fresh out

00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:41.960
of the cloning tubes but at less than half or even just a quarter of the price

00:00:38.440 --> 00:00:44.200
with brandname pixart sensors there is a

00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:49.879
solid chance then that these are good enough for my mediocre skills that is

00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:55.440
assuming that they aren't lying these could save me and you a lot of money but

00:00:53.680 --> 00:01:01.160
as we discovered you can't just go around buying any cheap Mouse while they

00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:04.239
might look the same sometimes beauty is

00:01:01.160 --> 00:01:07.280
only skin deep unlike our beautiful

00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:08.720
sponsor pulseway don't let where you are

00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:13.159

check it out using our Link in the video description and to get 40% off today at

00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:26.799
first glance there really is not a lot to differentiate these mice apart from

00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:30.320
their colors our clones even went as far as to use similar molding techniques you

00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:37.200
can actually see they' we've got a parting line right along this curved Edge just like our brand name option but

00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:44.640
if we look closely we find that while our $40 metap Panda P1 Pro and this $20

00:01:41.360 --> 00:01:47.799
attack shark R1 are basically identical

00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:49.840
to each other their molds do slightly

00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:55.280
differ from our Death Adder V3 hypers speed look for example at the main

00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:58.360
buttons on the razor the bottom Edge is

00:01:55.280 --> 00:02:00.600
a straight line on our clones there's a

00:01:58.360 --> 00:02:04.759
gentle Arc moving on to the side buttons on our clones they're a little smaller a

00:02:02.880 --> 00:02:08.920
little higher up and they sit a little more proud of the body all of which is

00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:13.280
fine though I did find that the Razer positioning felt a little more natural

00:02:10.679 --> 00:02:17.120
for my thumb the scroll wheels are nearly identical but Razer has a nice

00:02:15.440 --> 00:02:22.519
little broken up texture here that helps you get a little bit more grip now let's

00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:26.120
flip them over razor stuck a combined power and DPI button on the bottom of

00:02:24.200 --> 00:02:30.360
their Mouse while the Clones moved the DPI selection up to the top which I

00:02:28.959 --> 00:02:34.680
actually prefer leaving only Power and connectivity

00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:38.920
controls on the bottom actually this is one spot where the Clones aren't

00:02:36.640 --> 00:02:43.480
physically identical they clearly use the exact same mold still but their

00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:47.480
power switches are in different orientations both of our clones include

00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:51.680
blueooth something that razor skipped out on on this iteration of the Death

00:02:49.239 --> 00:02:55.000
Adder in spite of its much higher price while we've got these things flipped

00:02:52.840 --> 00:03:01.560
over let's get some feet picks no not those feet the Death Adder

00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:06.120
has these chunk honky PTFE hooves that Glide smoothly over our wow desk pad now

00:03:04.519 --> 00:03:11.480
in seven different sizes on LTT Store.com by the way each at the same

00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:15.040
fair price the pandas and the sharks

00:03:11.480 --> 00:03:17.159
fins meanwhile are more dainty Although

00:03:15.040 --> 00:03:21.760
our Labs team found that in our still in beta friction test their real world

00:03:19.200 --> 00:03:26.879
performance was actually similar or even better than the razor now we would have

00:03:24.959 --> 00:03:30.319
tested the friction of one more Mouse's feet but there was this whole thing with

00:03:28.920 --> 00:03:35.040
the wrong batteries and things got a little explody anyway stay tuned

00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:39.720
friction tests coming soon TM in any case the mouse that's conspicuously

00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:45.000
missing from our story so far is razer's wired only Death Adder essential with

00:03:42.239 --> 00:03:48.000
its more exaggerated styling that threads the needle between our two

00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:53.640
clones at about $30 it honestly feels cheaper than any

00:03:51.640 --> 00:03:58.879
of the other mice even the ones that don't cost as much but it just would

00:03:55.879 --> 00:04:01.599
have felt wrong to exclude razer's own

00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:06.280
lowcost options from this little Roundup now before we talk about the guts I want

00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:11.519
to see if any of the differences between these mice are immediately noticeable to

00:04:08.519 --> 00:04:16.560
an admittedly mediocre gamer starting

00:04:11.519 --> 00:04:19.079
with a f test uh yep the essential

00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:23.639
really just I don't know what it is even with this texture on the side it just

00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:27.759
doesn't feel as easy to lift how is a Wired Mouse this much heavier than all

00:04:25.440 --> 00:04:30.960
these Wireless ones also on the heavier side is the panda both the attack shark

00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:35.000
and and the razor hypers speed are noticeably lighter maybe should have

00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:38.919
laid off the bamboo as for the main buttons honestly there's not really much

00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:45.759
to differentiate these if I had to pick a favorite would actually be the panda

00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:48.479
the other two feel okay and for the side

00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:52.120
buttons I got to give the edge to Razer and believe it or not that goes for the

00:04:50.039 --> 00:04:56.680
durability rating of the switches too Razer and the panda are rated for 80

00:04:54.520 --> 00:05:01.400
million clicks on their top buttons while that goes down to 20 million and

00:04:58.840 --> 00:05:06.479
just 10 million for the attack shark and the essential respectively all four of

00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:11.520
our mice use different pixart sensors with the razor units using tweaked razor

00:05:09.080 --> 00:05:16.160
exclusive variants and our two clones dropping the act of being the same thing

00:05:13.840 --> 00:05:21.199
the panda looks a little bit better on paper thanks to its pixart

00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:22.120
3395 but the attack shark should still

00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:27.120
be reasonable but enough just looking at

00:05:24.479 --> 00:05:31.560
them let's game and see if I can feel a difference it's nice and light I got

00:05:29.400 --> 00:05:35.199
them couple times what can I say this thing feels great come

00:05:37.440 --> 00:05:46.560
on what oh my God it dumped me out of the

00:05:44.080 --> 00:05:51.840
game to prompt me to install my stupid Razer software all right well that's a

00:05:49.400 --> 00:05:57.479
dubious honor Razer is the only one that successfully got me killed so far let's

00:05:54.759 --> 00:06:01.440
step down to the panda obviously we're going to be using it in 2.4 GHz mode

00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:05.600
little bit of a misnomer given that Bluetooth is also 2.4 GHz but hey

00:06:03.840 --> 00:06:10.520
whatever you know I got to say I'm pretty impressed with this thing so far

00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:14.520
now that I'm actually gaming on it it is quite a bit heavier than the Death Adder

00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:18.880
but the way that they've distributed the weight still makes it feel considerably

00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:23.759
lighter than the attack shark for me feels

00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:25.000
great heavier I can feel the strain but

00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:29.639
they've done a pretty good job with the weight distribution and it still I think

00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:34.479
is going to be better than the attach shark even if the razor felt noticeably

00:06:32.400 --> 00:06:38.479
lighter once I was actually gaming on it speaking of the attack shark let's give

00:06:36.599 --> 00:06:42.599
her a chance one thing I can tell you for sure already Jordan is that there is

00:06:40.840 --> 00:06:46.840
no way on this green earth that I would go and buy a paper weight like this

00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:53.000
thing when this exists I it's so

00:06:49.440 --> 00:06:55.520
heavy oh someone went by right oh

00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:59.560
boy what how much is this mouse again though 20 bucks 20 bucks dude if you

00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:04.800
could get a mouse like this for 20 bucks when I was a kid I would have been

00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:07.720
freaking thrilled for 20 bucks it feels

00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:11.240
great I realistically don't think that I can tell the difference between any of

00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:15.599
these especially considering that I haven't even dialed the DPI in on any of

00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:19.759
these mice all of them are completely usable and I would be thrilled to have

00:07:17.479 --> 00:07:25.520
them for anywhere from 20 to 40 bucks which I guess is an issue for the razor

00:07:22.280 --> 00:07:28.000
hypers speed but but but there is this

00:07:25.520 --> 00:07:33.160
one as well you can try the other Razer yeah wow it's heav heavy dude this feels

00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:39.479
like going from a carbon badminton racket to a freaking like aluminum one I

00:07:36.520 --> 00:07:46.680
feel slow dude theoretically I'm warmed up and I should be able to like get some

00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:46.680
guys oh come on come

00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:52.680
on it's just so slow okay let's go back

00:07:50.599 --> 00:07:56.360
to what should theoretically be our best option again and see if I'm just getting

00:07:54.639 --> 00:08:00.039
worse cuz I'm like getting tired or something okay I can't complain about

00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:05.599
the razor I know I I it feels

00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:08.960
great okay after a second look at the panda if I had to give something The

00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:13.240
Edge it would have to be the razor hypers speed but I don't know if that's

00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:17.639
down to any difference in performance or latency or anything like that or if it's

00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:23.680
just down to the difference in weight frankly they all seem like they track

00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:27.800
just fine to me um but my Podium would

00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:30.479
be Razer Panda shark in that

00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:36.360
order oh is this where I get Labs results yep ah good well let's find out

00:08:33.560 --> 00:08:41.159
if I'm right the Death Adder V3 hypers speed is in a league of its own with

00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:43.320
sub2 millisecond latency it also

00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:47.399
delivered Flawless tracking even at high DPI settings meaning that you can rely

00:08:45.160 --> 00:08:51.920
on it in fast-paced shooters for high Precision tasks one Mark against it is

00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:57.160
that if you want to get full use of its 8,000 HZ pulling rate you need the hyper

00:08:54.880 --> 00:09:03.120
pulling dongle which is another 20 or $30 depending if you get it as a bundle

00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:07.079
okay so it's good mind you I don't know yet if the other ones are better

00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:12.320
meanwhile the metap panda P1 Pro is impressive at its $40 price it handled

00:09:09.839 --> 00:09:16.200
lower DPI settings well with consistent tracking during most gameplay though it

00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:21.160
did have trouble with some very rapid movements and the latency while quite

00:09:18.640 --> 00:09:26.760
consistent was a bit of a letdown not bad it's just not on par with some of

00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:31.720
the best mice on the market the attack shark R1 trailed behind its almost twin

00:09:29.680 --> 00:09:36.920
with noticeable Jitter during faster movements and less consistent latency

00:09:34.560 --> 00:09:40.680
that can feel worse than its 10.8 milliseconds indicates the lab also

00:09:39.079 --> 00:09:44.839
found that the attack shark had some battery life issues they think it could

00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:49.600
be just our sample but we haven't been able to confirm that so take it under

00:09:46.640 --> 00:09:54.519
advisement still for 20 bucks I would have a really hard time complaining

00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:57.279
about this mouse as for our late edition

00:09:54.519 --> 00:10:03.600
the $30 Death Adder essential well the latency is great on par with its more

00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:05.079
expensive brother it's also 30 or 40 G

00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:08.839
heavier though than the rest of these mice which could be a good or a bad

00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:12.839
thing depending on your personal preference otherwise it finds itself

00:10:10.880 --> 00:10:17.720
hanging out between the shark and Panda across the board leaning closer to one

00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:24.240
or the other for accuracy depending on the DPI settings with its lone win being

00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:26.480
its cable length at 170 mm so in

00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:31.519
conclusion is it worth paying a premium for something like this maybe the

00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:35.920
extremely low latency not to mention lightweight of a mouse like the death

00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:40.839
ater V3 hypers speed is a big plus for the most demanding games especially for

00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:47.040
demanding Gamers but the thing is that might not be you and it might not be me

00:10:44.040 --> 00:10:49.959
so with that said the attack shark it's

00:10:47.040 --> 00:10:53.399
no slouch for the price but I still see it as more the mouse you keep in your

00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:56.920
backpack for your laptop than the one that you would daily drive on your

00:10:54.639 --> 00:11:03.959
desktop which I guess leaves us with the $40 metap Panda P1 Pro in our Sweet Spot

00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:06.440
good accuracy great precision and stable

00:11:03.959 --> 00:11:10.480
if not amazing latency even if pandas aren't as cool as sharks oh my god did

00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:14.200
we just say that them's fighting words I didn't read the conclusion before uh

00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:18.399
because I wanted to you know try to feel the differences but good Lord you've

00:11:15.760 --> 00:11:23.720
started a war just don't let any Innocents be caught in the crossfire
