1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,470
better light than ever it's the razer deathadder v2 obviously a very popular

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:11,099
mouse but what's new with it compared to

3
00:00:07,470 --> 00:00:14,309
the other Death Adder elite that was

4
00:00:11,099 --> 00:00:17,460
also super popular well a few things and

5
00:00:14,309 --> 00:00:19,140
I'm gonna tell you what they are very

6
00:00:17,460 --> 00:00:23,400
simple blocks not too hard to get into comes a bunch of stuff you probably

7
00:00:21,060 --> 00:00:29,099
don't care about unleash your true potential signature from the CEO oh my

8
00:00:26,849 --> 00:00:32,990
god I can put this on my motorcycle helmet visor cool

9
00:00:37,870 --> 00:00:47,950
there's a hair in there someone's been here before well immediately it feels

10
00:00:43,820 --> 00:00:47,950
quite light her two other death adders

11
00:00:48,820 --> 00:00:56,420
okay this is a nice looking Mouse it's

12
00:00:52,940 --> 00:00:59,150
kind of matte plastic on the top with a

13
00:00:56,420 --> 00:01:05,900
sort of rubberized side gnarled on the sides a bit feels pretty light I got a

14
00:01:01,580 --> 00:01:08,690
scale here without the cable coming in

15
00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:14,150
at 78 grams this I know the scale is not perfect it's not but relatively speaking

16
00:01:10,850 --> 00:01:19,340
if that says 80-82 let's see what it

17
00:01:14,150 --> 00:01:21,650
does relative to this other elite see

18
00:01:19,340 --> 00:01:30,830
this box has the green inside I kind of like that more oh yeah this thing is a

19
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:32,660
trunk compared to this at least 16 grams

20
00:01:30,830 --> 00:01:35,660
heavier that's pretty impressive considering the chassis is almost

21
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:40,910
identical like looking at these side-by-side the shell shape is very

22
00:01:38,330 --> 00:01:46,880
similar especially on this side of the centerline the most notable differences

23
00:01:43,190 --> 00:01:49,130
over here now only existing elite some

24
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:54,590
people were bothered by the way this curves out especially if you had smaller

25
00:01:51,229 --> 00:01:56,869
hands so this is kind of a safer design

26
00:01:54,590 --> 00:01:59,810
it's less extreme over here and this will probably be more comfortable to

27
00:01:58,460 --> 00:02:03,770
more people especially those with small hands other than that I guess these dpi

28
00:02:02,420 --> 00:02:06,800
buttons are kind of farther down a little more out of the way than these

29
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:13,160
ones there it's a different button design the wheel looks slightly

30
00:02:12,620 --> 00:02:22,310
different there's just smaller bumps on it than this one it's not like a Logitech MX

31
00:02:20,209 --> 00:02:26,780
master wheel where you can free spin it like the MX master 3s which is obviously

32
00:02:24,920 --> 00:02:30,440
not even a gaming mouse it's nice because it's ratcheted at lower speeds

33
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:34,910
but then you can flick it and it'll free spin that is not going on here and you

34
00:02:32,750 --> 00:02:39,110
probably you wouldn't even want it to this is just designed to easily go

35
00:02:36,890 --> 00:02:42,500
through your weapons with your scroll wheel if you're the kind of person who

36
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,800
goes through your weapons with your scroll wheel

37
00:02:47,359 --> 00:02:52,200
it doesn't feel that different there may be a little more force on it than the

38
00:02:51,689 --> 00:02:57,450
last one while we're clicking things the left and right mouse clicks they're actually

39
00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:02,189
different the elite used to use mechanical switches Omron switches that

40
00:03:00,030 --> 00:03:06,719
were rated for about 50 million clicks the v2 though uses optical switches

41
00:03:05,310 --> 00:03:14,579
which should I believe are lower latency and they're ready for 70 million clicks

42
00:03:08,340 --> 00:03:16,859
and this is what they sound like no

43
00:03:14,579 --> 00:03:22,260
change on the v2 is the cable actually so you already had a braided cable which

44
00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:26,069
is alright it's a fine braided cable on the elite you can see the cables

45
00:03:23,879 --> 00:03:31,620
slightly fatter on the v2 and that's because it uses their speed flex cable

46
00:03:28,439 --> 00:03:35,189
speed flex it's very supple oh my

47
00:03:31,620 --> 00:03:35,719
goodness it's it's just almost friction

48
00:03:35,189 --> 00:03:42,209
list friction list the spirit of the design

49
00:03:39,449 --> 00:03:47,900
here is low friction so it's not gonna drag as much when you're you know yeah

50
00:03:44,639 --> 00:03:49,859
you have your low dpi setting here

51
00:03:47,900 --> 00:03:53,370
that's not the only thing interacting with the table there's also the feet on

52
00:03:51,449 --> 00:03:59,699
the bottom and the v2 has new-and-improved feet these standard

53
00:03:56,340 --> 00:04:02,370
feet are way dragger they say in

54
00:03:59,699 --> 00:04:06,720
comparison and in fact I mean it's hard to tell because this is also lighter but

55
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:13,379
it does feel a little more frictionless these are PFT e feet that's a material

56
00:04:10,290 --> 00:04:16,139
that's used in non-stick pans it's used

57
00:04:13,379 --> 00:04:18,239
to coat like piping and containers for corrosive chemicals because it's

58
00:04:17,579 --> 00:04:25,740
nonreactive on a side by side comparison that I saw and razors own website they said that

59
00:04:22,380 --> 00:04:28,530
the new one has eight buttons while the

60
00:04:25,740 --> 00:04:34,800
elite had seven buttons and I don't know if I'm missing something here but it

61
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:36,930
looks like one two three four five six

62
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:44,410
seven where's the eighth button on this thing

63
00:04:38,750 --> 00:04:45,920
hit me up in the comments oh what a dog

64
00:04:44,410 --> 00:04:51,980
give me that speed flex cable and PFT e skates it

65
00:04:49,730 --> 00:04:55,880
actually is noticeably I don't know I don't know what to attribute the

66
00:04:53,930 --> 00:05:08,210
smoothness to the weight the cable or the feet but it's noticeably nicer and

67
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:09,530
of course RGB sharp so that's the

68
00:05:08,210 --> 00:05:17,950
outside of the mouse but there's also some changes on the inside because this uses a new and improved sensor the Razer

69
00:05:14,540 --> 00:05:21,800
focus plus sensor it has a DPI of

70
00:05:17,950 --> 00:05:24,410
$20,000 per inch up from 16 K on this

71
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:29,750
peasant mouse it also has a tracking speed of 650 inches per second which is

72
00:05:27,950 --> 00:05:34,430
I mean that's pretty damn fast you're gonna have to be moving your mouse at 37

73
00:05:32,270 --> 00:05:38,120
miles per hour 60 kilometers an hour to exceed that it also has a 50 G

74
00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:42,980
acceleration but the cool thing is that the sensor is paired with an SOC inside

75
00:05:40,340 --> 00:05:46,730
which allows some cool other features like well three other cool features the

76
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:51,080
first cool feature is something called smart tracking so the sensor is self

77
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:55,100
calibrating relative to whatever surface it's on so you'll get the same

78
00:05:53,180 --> 00:05:58,010
consistent lift off distance without having to calibrate the mouse every time

79
00:05:56,630 --> 00:06:03,290
you set up in a different location if you go from your mouse pad to a glossy

80
00:06:00,740 --> 00:06:06,020
table to something else because you know you're on the road with your mouths

81
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,960
gonna land parties and stuff and you don't want to mess around just because

82
00:06:07,670 --> 00:06:13,940
you don't have the same battle station conditions as usual feature number two

83
00:06:11,450 --> 00:06:18,950
is called asymmetric liftoff so what this is is it's a distance that

84
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:24,740
you can set in the synapse software where the mouse come turns off at a

85
00:06:22,100 --> 00:06:27,620
certain distance the liftoff distance when you lift it up because again if

86
00:06:26,510 --> 00:06:32,240
you're playing with a low sensitivity and you're going like this you're gonna

87
00:06:29,990 --> 00:06:37,340
be lifting the mouse up a lot so you can set it to say 2 or 3 millimeters to

88
00:06:34,490 --> 00:06:41,540
deactivate as we lift it but if you did not have a symmetric lift off distance

89
00:06:39,620 --> 00:06:47,570
that would mean that when you put it back down it turns back on at that same

90
00:06:44,840 --> 00:06:51,470
distance of say 2 or 3 millimeters but you may not want that actually because

91
00:06:48,980 --> 00:06:54,139
then on its way back down it'll start reading

92
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:58,120
and when you're still kind of far away from the table and then your mouse

93
00:06:55,669 --> 00:07:03,650
cursor will actually move a little bit before you Pat it back down so what you

94
00:07:00,889 --> 00:07:07,340
want is asymmetric that's where it's three millimeters to kick it off the

95
00:07:05,449 --> 00:07:11,720
desk but it doesn't activate again until a millimeter off the table so you're

96
00:07:09,620 --> 00:07:15,530
gonna have your cursor just stay where you want to be less drift and that is

97
00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:20,569
awesome and feature number three is motion sync which is basically aligning

98
00:07:18,530 --> 00:07:25,009
the polling rate of the mouse and the host PC so that the information is

99
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:28,720
arriving at the same time so there's reduce input light from that it's kind

100
00:07:26,870 --> 00:07:35,599
of like if I can VRR for polling rate that a stretch and

101
00:07:33,889 --> 00:07:40,159
finally the other thing that is different about this mouse is onboard

102
00:07:37,909 --> 00:07:44,960
memory again because the soc previous elite had no onboard memory so that

103
00:07:43,340 --> 00:07:49,370
meant that you have to always install the Razer synapse software which you may

104
00:07:48,199 --> 00:07:55,400
not want because it's kind of annoying and clunky with this you can have up to

105
00:07:52,550 --> 00:07:59,060
five profiles saved on device so yeah you just setup the synapse software once

106
00:07:57,259 --> 00:08:02,870
when you first get it and you can change the lighting profiles and even macros

107
00:08:01,490 --> 00:08:07,880
and all stuff like that then you save that profile onto the mouse so you don't

108
00:08:04,729 --> 00:08:09,740
have to open up that software anymore

109
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:13,639
you can even uninstall it for a time and then you can bring your mouse to other

110
00:08:11,300 --> 00:08:16,729
places and tournaments and your profiles will show on there but if you want to

111
00:08:14,630 --> 00:08:21,979
adjust the lighting and add new macros you're gonna have to install that software again if you're into RGB stuff

112
00:08:19,580 --> 00:08:25,610
this is of course in the ecosystem of Razer chroma which means it can sync

113
00:08:24,229 --> 00:08:29,630
with all your other peripherals all your other Razer stuff your keyboard all the

114
00:08:27,620 --> 00:08:33,289
lights in sync together and of course with Philips hue so you could be

115
00:08:31,789 --> 00:08:36,099
watching a movie or playing a game and you're there Mouse lighting will sync up

116
00:08:35,270 --> 00:08:40,959
with that too insane what a world what a time to be

117
00:08:38,750 --> 00:08:40,959
alive

118
00:08:44,350 --> 00:08:49,970
I'm yes oh my god it has to you're right

119
00:08:48,530 --> 00:08:53,690
nd you're genius we found the eighth button it's the

120
00:08:51,740 --> 00:08:59,210
profile selection button on the bottom of the mouse I'll allow it

121
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:02,330
I'll allow it so should you get the v2 particularly sure you get it if you

122
00:09:00,620 --> 00:09:09,530
already have an elite Oh God I would say yeah if you don't mind this

123
00:09:05,590 --> 00:09:11,780
$69.99 price tag nice it's a worthy

124
00:09:09,530 --> 00:09:14,960
upgrade it's you know 20 grams lighter that's significant especially if you're

125
00:09:13,370 --> 00:09:20,240
the type of person who stopped using elite because it was too heavy relative

126
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:25,850
to all the other much lighter wired mice that exist today if you wanted to love

127
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:29,420
the Death Adder but the feeling wasn't good in your hand because of the the

128
00:09:28,190 --> 00:09:33,080
shape especially if you have small hands then then this is this is great

129
00:09:31,250 --> 00:09:38,390
especially if you're a palm grip player I mean it'll work for claw grips and

130
00:09:34,940 --> 00:09:41,360
fingertip you people as well but I think

131
00:09:38,390 --> 00:09:46,460
give this a feel give it a lift see if you like it it might be worth it it

132
00:09:43,580 --> 00:09:49,910
might be your next Mouse so thanks for watching short-circuited you guys if you

133
00:09:47,750 --> 00:09:55,340
liked this video give it a like if you really really liked it give it a

134
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:56,900
subscribe and be sure to stay tuned if

135
00:09:55,340 --> 00:10:01,940
you guys hit us up in the comments and tell us to cover the new razor basilisk

136
00:09:59,810 --> 00:10:10,120
ultimate or ultra or whatever it's called maybe we'll do that too if enough

137
00:10:03,950 --> 00:10:10,120
of you yell at me see you next time
