WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.470 better light than ever it's the razer deathadder v2 obviously a very popular 00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:11.099 mouse but what's new with it compared to 00:00:07.470 --> 00:00:14.309 the other Death Adder elite that was 00:00:11.099 --> 00:00:17.460 also super popular well a few things and 00:00:14.309 --> 00:00:19.140 I'm gonna tell you what they are very 00:00:17.460 --> 00:00:23.400 simple blocks not too hard to get into comes a bunch of stuff you probably 00:00:21.060 --> 00:00:29.099 don't care about unleash your true potential signature from the CEO oh my 00:00:26.849 --> 00:00:32.990 god I can put this on my motorcycle helmet visor cool 00:00:37.870 --> 00:00:47.950 there's a hair in there someone's been here before well immediately it feels 00:00:43.820 --> 00:00:47.950 quite light her two other death adders 00:00:48.820 --> 00:00:56.420 okay this is a nice looking Mouse it's 00:00:52.940 --> 00:00:59.150 kind of matte plastic on the top with a 00:00:56.420 --> 00:01:05.900 sort of rubberized side gnarled on the sides a bit feels pretty light I got a 00:01:01.580 --> 00:01:08.690 scale here without the cable coming in 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 00:01:10.850 --> 00:01:19.340 if that says 80-82 let's see what it 00:01:14.150 --> 00:01:21.650 does relative to this other elite see 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 00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:32.660 trunk compared to this at least 16 grams 00:01:30.830 --> 00:01:35.660 heavier that's pretty impressive considering the chassis is almost 00:01:34.160 --> 00:01:40.910 identical like looking at these side-by-side the shell shape is very 00:01:38.330 --> 00:01:46.880 similar especially on this side of the centerline the most notable differences 00:01:43.190 --> 00:01:49.130 over here now only existing elite some 00:01:46.880 --> 00:01:54.590 people were bothered by the way this curves out especially if you had smaller 00:01:51.229 --> 00:01:56.869 hands so this is kind of a safer design 00:01:54.590 --> 00:01:59.810 it's less extreme over here and this will probably be more comfortable to 00:01:58.460 --> 00:02:03.770 more people especially those with small hands other than that I guess these dpi 00:02:02.420 --> 00:02:06.800 buttons are kind of farther down a little more out of the way than these 00:02:05.600 --> 00:02:13.160 ones there it's a different button design the wheel looks slightly 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 00:02:20.209 --> 00:02:26.780 master wheel where you can free spin it like the MX master 3s which is obviously 00:02:24.920 --> 00:02:30.440 not even a gaming mouse it's nice because it's ratcheted at lower speeds 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 00:02:32.750 --> 00:02:39.110 probably you wouldn't even want it to this is just designed to easily go 00:02:36.890 --> 00:02:42.500 through your weapons with your scroll wheel if you're the kind of person who 00:02:41.600 --> 00:02:44.800 goes through your weapons with your scroll wheel 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 00:02:51.689 --> 00:02:57.450 last one while we're clicking things the left and right mouse clicks they're actually 00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:02.189 different the elite used to use mechanical switches Omron switches that 00:03:00.030 --> 00:03:06.719 were rated for about 50 million clicks the v2 though uses optical switches 00:03:05.310 --> 00:03:14.579 which should I believe are lower latency and they're ready for 70 million clicks 00:03:08.340 --> 00:03:16.859 and this is what they sound like no 00:03:14.579 --> 00:03:22.260 change on the v2 is the cable actually so you already had a braided cable which 00:03:19.500 --> 00:03:26.069 is alright it's a fine braided cable on the elite you can see the cables 00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:31.620 slightly fatter on the v2 and that's because it uses their speed flex cable 00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:35.189 speed flex it's very supple oh my 00:03:31.620 --> 00:03:35.719 goodness it's it's just almost friction 00:03:35.189 --> 00:03:42.209 list friction list the spirit of the design 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 00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:49.859 you have your low dpi setting here 00:03:47.900 --> 00:03:53.370 that's not the only thing interacting with the table there's also the feet on 00:03:51.449 --> 00:03:59.699 the bottom and the v2 has new-and-improved feet these standard 00:03:56.340 --> 00:04:02.370 feet are way dragger they say in 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 00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:13.379 it does feel a little more frictionless these are PFT e feet that's a material 00:04:10.290 --> 00:04:16.139 that's used in non-stick pans it's used 00:04:13.379 --> 00:04:18.239 to coat like piping and containers for corrosive chemicals because it's 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 00:04:22.380 --> 00:04:28.530 the new one has eight buttons while the 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 00:04:29.880 --> 00:04:36.930 looks like one two three four five six 00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:44.410 seven where's the eighth button on this thing 00:04:38.750 --> 00:04:45.920 hit me up in the comments oh what a dog 00:04:44.410 --> 00:04:51.980 give me that speed flex cable and PFT e skates it 00:04:49.730 --> 00:04:55.880 actually is noticeably I don't know I don't know what to attribute the 00:04:53.930 --> 00:05:08.210 smoothness to the weight the cable or the feet but it's noticeably nicer and 00:05:02.080 --> 00:05:09.530 of course RGB sharp so that's the 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 00:05:14.540 --> 00:05:21.800 focus plus sensor it has a DPI of 00:05:17.950 --> 00:05:24.410 $20,000 per inch up from 16 K on this 00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:29.750 peasant mouse it also has a tracking speed of 650 inches per second which is 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 00:05:32.270 --> 00:05:38.120 miles per hour 60 kilometers an hour to exceed that it also has a 50 G 00:05:36.500 --> 00:05:42.980 acceleration but the cool thing is that the sensor is paired with an SOC inside 00:05:40.340 --> 00:05:46.730 which allows some cool other features like well three other cool features the 00:05:45.440 --> 00:05:51.080 first cool feature is something called smart tracking so the sensor is self 00:05:49.400 --> 00:05:55.100 calibrating relative to whatever surface it's on so you'll get the same 00:05:53.180 --> 00:05:58.010 consistent lift off distance without having to calibrate the mouse every time 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 00:06:00.740 --> 00:06:06.020 table to something else because you know you're on the road with your mouths 00:06:04.520 --> 00:06:08.960 gonna land parties and stuff and you don't want to mess around just because 00:06:07.670 --> 00:06:13.940 you don't have the same battle station conditions as usual feature number two 00:06:11.450 --> 00:06:18.950 is called asymmetric liftoff so what this is is it's a distance that 00:06:16.760 --> 00:06:24.740 you can set in the synapse software where the mouse come turns off at a 00:06:22.100 --> 00:06:27.620 certain distance the liftoff distance when you lift it up because again if 00:06:26.510 --> 00:06:32.240 you're playing with a low sensitivity and you're going like this you're gonna 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 00:06:34.490 --> 00:06:41.540 deactivate as we lift it but if you did not have a symmetric lift off distance 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 00:06:44.840 --> 00:06:51.470 distance of say 2 or 3 millimeters but you may not want that actually because 00:06:48.980 --> 00:06:54.139 then on its way back down it'll start reading 00:06:52.520 --> 00:06:58.120 and when you're still kind of far away from the table and then your mouse 00:06:55.669 --> 00:07:03.650 cursor will actually move a little bit before you Pat it back down so what you 00:07:00.889 --> 00:07:07.340 want is asymmetric that's where it's three millimeters to kick it off the 00:07:05.449 --> 00:07:11.720 desk but it doesn't activate again until a millimeter off the table so you're 00:07:09.620 --> 00:07:15.530 gonna have your cursor just stay where you want to be less drift and that is 00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:20.569 awesome and feature number three is motion sync which is basically aligning 00:07:18.530 --> 00:07:25.009 the polling rate of the mouse and the host PC so that the information is 00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:28.720 arriving at the same time so there's reduce input light from that it's kind 00:07:26.870 --> 00:07:35.599 of like if I can VRR for polling rate that a stretch and 00:07:33.889 --> 00:07:40.159 finally the other thing that is different about this mouse is onboard 00:07:37.909 --> 00:07:44.960 memory again because the soc previous elite had no onboard memory so that 00:07:43.340 --> 00:07:49.370 meant that you have to always install the Razer synapse software which you may 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 00:07:52.550 --> 00:07:59.060 five profiles saved on device so yeah you just setup the synapse software once 00:07:57.259 --> 00:08:02.870 when you first get it and you can change the lighting profiles and even macros 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 00:08:04.729 --> 00:08:09.740 have to open up that software anymore 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 00:08:11.300 --> 00:08:16.729 places and tournaments and your profiles will show on there but if you want to 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 00:08:19.580 --> 00:08:25.610 this is of course in the ecosystem of Razer chroma which means it can sync 00:08:24.229 --> 00:08:29.630 with all your other peripherals all your other Razer stuff your keyboard all the 00:08:27.620 --> 00:08:33.289 lights in sync together and of course with Philips hue so you could be 00:08:31.789 --> 00:08:36.099 watching a movie or playing a game and you're there Mouse lighting will sync up 00:08:35.270 --> 00:08:40.959 with that too insane what a world what a time to be 00:08:38.750 --> 00:08:40.959 alive 00:08:44.350 --> 00:08:49.970 I'm yes oh my god it has to you're right 00:08:48.530 --> 00:08:53.690 nd you're genius we found the eighth button it's the 00:08:51.740 --> 00:08:59.210 profile selection button on the bottom of the mouse I'll allow it 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 00:09:00.620 --> 00:09:09.530 already have an elite Oh God I would say yeah if you don't mind this 00:09:05.590 --> 00:09:11.780 $69.99 price tag nice it's a worthy 00:09:09.530 --> 00:09:14.960 upgrade it's you know 20 grams lighter that's significant especially if you're 00:09:13.370 --> 00:09:20.240 the type of person who stopped using elite because it was too heavy relative 00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:25.850 to all the other much lighter wired mice that exist today if you wanted to love 00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:29.420 the Death Adder but the feeling wasn't good in your hand because of the the 00:09:28.190 --> 00:09:33.080 shape especially if you have small hands then then this is this is great 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 00:09:34.940 --> 00:09:41.360 fingertip you people as well but I think 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 00:09:43.580 --> 00:09:49.910 might be your next Mouse so thanks for watching short-circuited you guys if you 00:09:47.750 --> 00:09:55.340 liked this video give it a like if you really really liked it give it a 00:09:52.280 -->

or ultra or whatever it's called maybe we'll do that too if enough 00:10:03.950 --> 00:10:10.120 of you yell at me see you next time
