1
00:00:00,659 --> 00:00:08,580
can you smell that brother yeah that's right we've got the Razor

2
00:00:05,460 --> 00:00:12,719
boom slang wire gaming mouse top of the

3
00:00:08,580 --> 00:00:15,179
line cream of the crop oh yeah

4
00:00:12,719 --> 00:00:20,460
or at least it was the top of the line back in 1999 but gaming mice have

5
00:00:18,660 --> 00:00:24,060
changed a lot over the last couple of decades so I think the question on

6
00:00:22,439 --> 00:00:31,800
everyone's mind is can this candy ass RGB lightweight take

7
00:00:27,539 --> 00:00:34,500
on the Intercontinental Champion of

8
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:37,399
gaming mice now let me step into this sponsor segue

9
00:00:37,739 --> 00:00:45,059
Ridge wallet Ridge wallet has redefined the traditional wallet with its compact

00:00:42,059 --> 00:00:47,040

00:00:50,820 --> 00:00:57,899
shipping representing modern gaming mice we've got my daily driver the G Pro

13
00:00:55,379 --> 00:01:02,039
Wireless it features 25 000 DPI sensitivity one millisecond

14
00:00:59,820 --> 00:01:05,580
pulling and it weighs in at just 80 grams

15
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:10,680
let's see how I do in AIM Labs wait there are people who do 200 of these in

16
00:01:07,799 --> 00:01:15,420
a minute oh yeah this sensitivity is definitely not right for me it's a

17
00:01:12,659 --> 00:01:18,299
little bit high and I'm just I'm I'm ending up just past everything I'm

18
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:21,200
trying to compensate and then I'm ending up not going far enough

19
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,840
tent not bad not bad

20
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,619
uh is the Logitech gaming software

21
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:39,600
installed on here oh

22
00:01:37,140 --> 00:01:43,439
ah might be 500 I don't know maybe I'm just making all

23
00:01:41,579 --> 00:01:48,900
this up and I just suck if I don't break 100 I will be Trey's

24
00:01:45,960 --> 00:01:54,060
embarrassed 96 not nice 71 accuracy though all right

25
00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:59,640
fine that's that's as good a gamer as I'm ever gonna be I'm number 52 000 in

26
00:01:56,759 --> 00:02:05,939
the world now the question is how does something from 1999 stack up

27
00:02:03,299 --> 00:02:10,739
our Razer boom slang is still packed away in its original tin and we got our

28
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:14,819
hands on the collector's edition so this is one of just 5

29
00:02:13,140 --> 00:02:18,900
000 units and this is

30
00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:22,560
pretty special for me because back when this was the king I don't think my whole

31
00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:26,760
gaming rig was worth a hundred dollars and gamer specific Hardware was a

32
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:35,720
relatively new concept and so was razer's edgy green marketing

33
00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:39,239
diabolical Synergy Tom scroll wheel 45

34
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:41,700
DPR more than twice as precise as a

35
00:02:39,239 --> 00:02:47,459
standard Mouse ambidextrous Ergo design levels the playing field for right in

36
00:02:43,860 --> 00:02:51,900
left-handed gamers patented dust barrier

37
00:02:47,459 --> 00:02:53,900
seven foot cord wow that's a long chord

38
00:02:51,900 --> 00:02:59,459
bag lunch unprecedented strikes be venomous

39
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:01,019
accuracy a revolutionary step in the

40
00:02:59,459 --> 00:03:06,720
evolution of game controllers that's right Evolution Revolution it's both and

41
00:03:05,459 --> 00:03:11,220
you know what compared to its competitors the boom slang had a lot

42
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:20,400
more going for it than just marketing it's rated at a whopping 2 000 DPI which

43
00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:25,879
was massive back then especially for a

44
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:29,099
ball Mouse oh no right

45
00:03:25,879 --> 00:03:32,879
oh I love this gray cable can I just say

46
00:03:29,099 --> 00:03:35,220
gray we want you back that is so classy

47
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:40,200
even now it feels like alien technology we've got number

48
00:03:36,739 --> 00:03:43,080
1671 and this is interesting powered by

49
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:48,319
karna Precision patent pending karna actually seized operations due to

50
00:03:44,940 --> 00:03:51,060
financial issues in 2000 but in 2005

51
00:03:48,319 --> 00:03:55,379
Razer was revived by former karna employees Robert Krakoff and Min Lang

52
00:03:52,980 --> 00:03:59,099
tan at a familiar name little fun fact for you want another one the backpack

53
00:03:57,540 --> 00:04:03,540
and screwdriver are finally almost ready at lttstore.com get signed up and be

54
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:08,940
notified when they go live so for those of you who don't know the way that this

55
00:04:05,940 --> 00:04:11,760
sensor works is this little ball down

56
00:04:08,940 --> 00:04:16,199
here actually rolls around as you move the mouse transferring that movement to

57
00:04:13,980 --> 00:04:23,280
inside rollers here at the back of the mouse and here on its left as these well

58
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:27,840
also roll they break a thin Light Beam so the more the beam breaks the more the

59
00:04:25,740 --> 00:04:32,100
mouse has been moved some of you might actually remember needing to clean your

60
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:36,419
balls about once a month growing up but I bet you forgot that you also had

61
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:41,340
to clean out your rollers because if either of them got Caked Up with dust or

62
00:04:38,820 --> 00:04:45,240
in my household with so many ladies living there hair

63
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:49,800
should get terrible tracking resulting in a very frustrating gaming experience

64
00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:53,340
my mom had hair down to probably the small of her back when I was growing up

65
00:04:51,600 --> 00:05:01,380
so there would be hairs wrapped around these rollers that were like

66
00:04:56,540 --> 00:05:03,060
almost like this anyway uh sorry that

67
00:05:01,380 --> 00:05:08,820
story is right what else have we got in here nestled in the mouse phone is a USB

68
00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:12,660
to PS2 adapter probably pretty handy 23

69
00:05:08,820 --> 00:05:14,880
years ago and then below the foam we've

70
00:05:12,660 --> 00:05:18,660
got a first edition certificate of ownership

71
00:05:16,020 --> 00:05:23,940
car quick setup guide install driver shut down plug-in and reboot that's

72
00:05:21,060 --> 00:05:29,340
right friends it was the year 2000 after all

73
00:05:24,840 --> 00:05:32,900
we've got uh the latest and greatest on

74
00:05:29,340 --> 00:05:32,900
technique and technicalia

75
00:05:32,940 --> 00:05:39,060
this is not your mother's Mouse we know you're chomping at the bit to put this

76
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:43,320
baby through the paces you've loaded the driver's tweak your system settings

77
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:45,780
plugged in your new razor oh my goodness

78
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:50,340
this is amazing to get the ultimate experience and movement and control we

79
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:56,340
highly recommend the 3M Precision mousing surface 3M used to make first

80
00:05:53,580 --> 00:06:01,979
party mouse pads I did not know that we've also got the master guide genre

81
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:08,100
defining weapons that make for penetrating explosive gameplay excuse me

82
00:06:05,300 --> 00:06:11,120
penetrating explosive gameplay you heard me

83
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:16,020
prepare to get penetrated David explosively finally our handy dandy

84
00:06:13,919 --> 00:06:20,280
installation CD this was pretty crucial back then when downloading software

85
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:23,580
could take ages and cost you money not so much anymore though get

86
00:06:22,020 --> 00:06:28,259
subscribed or you might miss our 100 legal way to emulate games video back to

87
00:06:26,220 --> 00:06:33,120
our Mouse the construction here is a mix of a black rubberized material that

88
00:06:30,660 --> 00:06:38,639
actually for all its years still feels really good and really grippy and this

89
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:42,780
semi-transparent green plastic that hasn't aged quite as well in terms of

90
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:46,620
its Aesthetics you can see some of the internals though and probably the coolest thing about them is that it

91
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:50,819
looks like you could probably repair this mouse by hand like the solder

92
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:55,259
points are so big uh it's got what appear to be PTFE feet and on a modern

93
00:06:53,819 --> 00:06:58,680
mouse pad like our Northern Lights little titty store it slides around just

94
00:06:57,419 --> 00:07:01,800
fine can you hear them can you hear the wheel

95
00:07:00,419 --> 00:07:07,139
yeah yeah that does not sound that great our

96
00:07:04,919 --> 00:07:11,639
right click is a little mushy but still functional and our left click

97
00:07:09,660 --> 00:07:14,880
sounds like it should one of the most interesting thing about the primary

98
00:07:12,900 --> 00:07:20,039
buttons is how long they are this was actually an ergonomic feature because it

99
00:07:17,639 --> 00:07:24,599
allowed you to rest your hand and click away no matter what your grip type was

100
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:27,720
oh wow those are that's where the side buttons are

101
00:07:26,220 --> 00:07:32,940
Han wow that's a stiff scroll wheel

102
00:07:30,419 --> 00:07:39,660
it feels like it's kind of designed for ring finger right click and Pinky and

103
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:41,099
thumb well it's ambidextrous right so

104
00:07:39,660 --> 00:07:46,620
interesting I would say that when it comes to

105
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:49,380
ergonomics your mileage May no will vary

106
00:07:46,620 --> 00:07:54,599
on this one that's a very it's a very claw grip you kind of can't spoon it

107
00:07:52,380 --> 00:07:57,960
because it just it doesn't support you on the sides and I guess the reason for

108
00:07:56,460 --> 00:08:02,880
the width is it's not really designed for middle and index finger because that would put your wrist at like this

109
00:08:00,780 --> 00:08:08,520
unnatural angle okay I'm gonna try and use it as intended okay we ready

110
00:08:05,819 --> 00:08:11,759
did the computer just restart yeah yeah did it just freaking crash my

111
00:08:10,620 --> 00:08:16,740
computer wow I mean In fairness the instructions

112
00:08:15,180 --> 00:08:21,599
did say install driver shut down plug-in reboot

113
00:08:19,620 --> 00:08:26,819
rtfm fair enough

114
00:08:22,740 --> 00:08:29,039
touche razor I can feel the aches in

115
00:08:26,819 --> 00:08:34,560
here and here already I haven't even done my small flicks aim test yet

116
00:08:32,899 --> 00:08:39,260
whoa oh wow that wasn't good

117
00:08:39,779 --> 00:08:44,520
oh my gosh okay I swear to you I'm not

118
00:08:43,020 --> 00:08:49,980
Hamming this up this is really hard I feel my whole I

119
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:54,240
feel my whole forearm like tensing up here okay now I'm feeling I'm feeling it

120
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:58,740
I'm feeling it watch me not actually be any worse I know this is worse

121
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:02,060
I can't look at the score right now because I'm aiming

122
00:09:02,220 --> 00:09:10,080
come on oh that's a lot worse

123
00:09:07,860 --> 00:09:14,640
it didn't feel that much worse like my intensity was high oh wow I did get more

124
00:09:12,660 --> 00:09:19,980
accurate over time okay one more time one more time that was warm up I'm going

125
00:09:16,620 --> 00:09:21,720
for it I'm beating the G Pro Wireless

126
00:09:19,980 --> 00:09:26,700
here we go there we go get my rhythm get my rhythm here yeah yeah Rhythm Rhythm

127
00:09:24,420 --> 00:09:30,300
feel the rhythm feel the rhyme Get on Up it's bobsled time

128
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:33,740
Cool Runnings 61 60 percent

129
00:09:35,459 --> 00:09:42,480
G Pro Wireless the truth is that dragging around a heavy mass and it has

130
00:09:40,260 --> 00:09:49,019
to be heavy because otherwise it won't stay down on the mouse pad just cannot

131
00:09:46,740 --> 00:09:54,899
provide the same experience as a proper modern Optical sensor

132
00:09:51,300 --> 00:09:57,120
I mean yeah I know pro at the best of

133
00:09:54,899 --> 00:10:01,680
times but the ball causes a lot of issues first of all trying to make small

134
00:09:59,820 --> 00:10:07,560
adjustments well you're running up against the friction between the ball

135
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:10,019
and the little plastic retainer for it

136
00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:15,000
and second of all when you try to do bigger flicks or sweeps

137
00:10:12,060 --> 00:10:19,740
it's hard to control the ball fully so a quick flick shot could overshoot

138
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:25,620
significantly because that ball has momentum it'll keep rolling for up to

139
00:10:22,500 --> 00:10:29,040
half a second as for the smaller issues

140
00:10:25,620 --> 00:10:31,440
the mouse is overall pretty heavy at 137

141
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:36,779
grams the shape while being advertised as ergonomic and ambidextrous

142
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:41,640
kind of resembles a duck's foot and for me it was incredibly uncomfortable like

143
00:10:39,300 --> 00:10:45,060
my ARM is really uncomfortable after using it for just a few moments but

144
00:10:43,019 --> 00:10:48,660
apparently after a week you end up with Stockholm syndrome ploof who wrote this

145
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,839
video claims that he kind of likes it now

146
00:10:52,260 --> 00:10:59,459
what's cool is that all five of the buttons the two on the sides and the

147
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:04,140
three on the top including clicking the scroll wheel are programmable that's

148
00:11:01,740 --> 00:11:08,940
right I mean no gaming mouse would truly be a gaming mouse without software and

149
00:11:05,820 --> 00:11:11,459
programmable buttons and guys I gotta

150
00:11:08,940 --> 00:11:16,980
say while the utility looks like it came straight out of 19.99 it does have some

151
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:21,360
pretty interesting features you can change the input on the X and Y axis

152
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:25,200
independently you could alter your double click speed your scroll wheel

153
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:29,240
speed you've got these cute little test areas

154
00:11:26,279 --> 00:11:34,740
come out the links still work but still take you

155
00:11:31,500 --> 00:11:37,260
to Ranger oh my God it totally did it

156
00:11:34,740 --> 00:11:42,360
takes me to their Chinese site now which is interesting and shockingly this

157
00:11:39,899 --> 00:11:46,500
program is still on razer's website with the last release coming in April 2011.

158
00:11:44,519 --> 00:11:51,480
we did manage to install it on Windows 10 in spite of the warning about it

159
00:11:48,140 --> 00:11:53,579
requiring Windows XP but our sensitivity

160
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:59,820
adjustments did not appear to actually do anything so I can't really say that

161
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:04,200
it works with that said If you're looking for the shape and feel of the

162
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:08,760
boom slang you can still use it on a modern gaming rig I just wouldn't

163
00:12:06,300 --> 00:12:13,320
recommend it because whether you like it or not this is what Peak Performance

164
00:12:11,220 --> 00:12:16,860
looks like now and we're gonna have a handful of excellent modern gaming mice

165
00:12:15,060 --> 00:12:21,240
