00:00:02.399 --> 00:00:07.279
oh hey guys uh just casually gaming

00:00:12.639 --> 00:00:18.480
with the purchase of a qualifying Intel processor SSD or knuck you could

00:00:16.400 --> 00:00:22.240
instantly win an Intel gaming jersey and be entered in the draw for the ultimate

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:25.760
system click now to learn more the first and most important thing about this

00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:30.640
mouse is the optical sensor featuring logitech's delta zero and fusion engine

00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:34.880
i'll get into exactly what the fusion engine does in a moment but first i want

00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:39.200
to test their delta zero feature which basically means no cursor acceleration

00:00:37.040 --> 00:00:43.360
as i have some pretty seriously deeply rooted trust issues when it comes to

00:00:41.040 --> 00:00:47.440
most manufacturers and their claims about acceleration a quick and dirty

00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:51.440
explanation of mouse acceleration is this if you disable it moving your mouse

00:00:49.440 --> 00:00:55.360
from point a to b along a surface without acceleration should result in

00:00:53.680 --> 00:00:59.199
the cursor on your screen moving exactly relative to the movement of your mouse

00:00:57.199 --> 00:01:02.800
independent of the speed of which the mouse is moving

00:01:00.559 --> 00:01:06.560
if you were to start at a move halfway to b extremely quickly shake the mouse

00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:11.439
around for a little while and then go extremely slowly to b it would still

00:01:08.880 --> 00:01:14.560
land on b if you enable acceleration moving extremely quickly the same

00:01:12.880 --> 00:01:18.400
distance on the mouse pad will cause your cursor to overshoot b's position on

00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:22.479
the screen and then repeating the same movement but very slowly will cause the

00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:25.759
cursor to fall short of b's position this is fine for average users who want

00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:30.720
to move their mouse very slowly when trying to click on something more precisely but it's not desirable for

00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:34.320
gamers who want precision of their muscle movements to translate directly

00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:37.759
to the screen without any janky randomness it seems like this is a

00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:41.360
non-issue since aside from gaming mouse drivers Windows allows pointer

00:01:39.360 --> 00:01:45.439
acceleration to be disabled except that many modern gaming mouse sensors have

00:01:43.360 --> 00:01:50.560
inherent acceleration that cannot be turned off so to calm anxiety we tested

00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:54.079
g402 sensors by grabbing our camera slider and just doing a few

00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:58.159
modifications i replaced the traditional soft stopper method with dual heavy duty

00:01:56.399 --> 00:02:00.960
clamps to reduce travel when the slider bumped into them

00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:06.399
i then put the slider on the table and lowered it pretty much as far as it could go using a velcro strip to secure

00:02:04.399 --> 00:02:09.679
the mouse to the bottom of the slider then for measurement i put a grid

00:02:07.759 --> 00:02:13.360
overlay on my monitor after all this setup i tested it with a

00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:18.400
variety of movements and i'm happy to say that as far as i can tell the g402

00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:22.480
features what is known as a perfect sensor with no inherent acceleration

00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:26.080
kudos logitech next up is the fusion engine i was

00:02:24.239 --> 00:02:30.800
talking about earlier logitech is using a gyro and an accelerometer to augment

00:02:28.480 --> 00:02:34.400
their already awesome optical sensor if you're running at a low dpi setting and

00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:37.840
need to whip your mouse insanely fast in order to pull that super sick 360 no

00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:42.480
scope at the end of your mega dope montage video it is technically possible

00:02:40.160 --> 00:02:45.680
for you to outpace an optical sensor if you do manage to outpace the optical

00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:50.959
sensor it can potentially cause the cursor to jutter or even drastically

00:02:47.760 --> 00:02:52.879
jump around which is bad with the fusion

00:02:50.959 --> 00:02:56.879
engine and the gyrometer and accelerometer we'll try to fill the

00:02:54.480 --> 00:03:00.319
holes in the data stream to avoid this to test this out Linus and i had a

00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:04.720
contest of sorts where we battled to see who could whip the mouse the fastest in

00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:09.760
terms of ips or inches per second minus one to his extensive master badminton

00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:14.640
skills which he has honed over many years of extremely vigorous training so

00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:17.680
it works as advertised kudos again but even though it worked i left logitech's

00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:21.840
sensor monitoring tool on for a night of gaming and just tried to ignore it and

00:03:19.760 --> 00:03:26.080
play normally to see what would happen it seems that i never actually exceeded

00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:30.400
84 ips which means this feature is unlikely to ever actually kick in for me

00:03:28.239 --> 00:03:34.560
but i'm not a professional gamer if you're a low sensitivity gamer and you

00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:38.239
do end up purchasing the g402 and you find that you get into the speeds where

00:03:35.920 --> 00:03:41.599
the fusion engine really benefits you please message me on twitter or some

00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:46.640
other medium as i'd love to hear more about your experience which brings us to

00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:48.560
the software setting the 240 to 4000 dpi

00:03:46.640 --> 00:03:52.000
sensors multiple sensitivity levels was easy enough and it allowed for fairly

00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:56.799
specific setting as it was able to increase in increments of 80. you can

00:03:54.239 --> 00:04:00.799
also set your polling rate to 125 250 500 or even 1 000 reports per second

00:03:59.519 --> 00:04:05.599
after getting all that technical stuff out of the way you can have fun with the right side of your brain by playing with

00:04:03.760 --> 00:04:10.239
the customizable lighting you're able to set brightness level change the speed or

00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:14.080
disable breathing mode entirely and change the deep if dpi lighting is

00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:17.359
always on or just illuminated when you are changing things and last but not

00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:22.400
least is turning off the lighting effects when you haven't used your mouse for a specific amount of time handy for

00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:27.120
those of us who have our computers in our rooms so that was fun but now it's

00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:31.360
time for real world use of impressions in terms of shape feel and ergonomics of

00:04:29.280 --> 00:04:35.919
the unit when compared to the g502's futuristic alien looking aesthetic the

00:04:33.280 --> 00:04:40.720
g402 is definitely more conservative but still does have some flair it's rocking

00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:44.240
eight buttons including forward back dpi up dpi down dpi shift left click right

00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:48.400
click and middle click and they can be programmed to execute various functions

00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:52.000
keystrokes or even multi-key macros using logitech software so basically

00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:55.919
even if you're one of those guys who is religiously against dpi shift buttons

00:04:54.160 --> 00:05:00.400
you can set that button to anything from play next song functionality to spamming

00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:04.800
kabba kappa kappa or razer dongerz in chat unfortunately though scroll up and

00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:08.560
scroll down were not included in the key binding options after all that we're

00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:12.160
left with a few takeaways when compared to the g502 the g402 is definitely a bit

00:05:10.880 --> 00:05:16.479
more conservative it's down to eight buttons from 11 it

00:05:14.479 --> 00:05:20.240
doesn't have a free spinning or tilting scroll wheel it doesn't have a

00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:24.400
customizable weighting system it lacks some of the nicely textured soft touch

00:05:22.080 --> 00:05:27.199
rubber gripping the light isn't quite as bright

00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:30.560
it doesn't have a braided cable the swooped out part for your thumb isn't

00:05:28.479 --> 00:05:34.880
nearly as accommodating and the left and right click don't feel quite as sharp

00:05:32.479 --> 00:05:38.800
and responsive as the g502 but they still have a 20 million click rating

00:05:36.880 --> 00:05:42.720
which is nice but hold on now that's actually not that bad on one hand you

00:05:40.880 --> 00:05:46.160
have the g502 with its beautiful sensor and laundry list of features on the

00:05:44.320 --> 00:05:50.240
other hand you have the g402 with a different but still beautiful sensor

00:05:47.840 --> 00:05:54.960
which is ARM in ARM with a powerful but possibly not needed for everyone at

00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:59.440
least fusion engine while the g402's laundry list of features is considerably

00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:03.440
shorter than the g502 it still feels great in hand i mean you still have the

00:06:01.520 --> 00:06:08.560
fundamental ergonomic quality of a logitech mouse which too many people

00:06:05.280 --> 00:06:10.000
myself included feels great in your hand

00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:15.600
and you've got one other thing in your hand that feels great too

00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:20.160
20 bucks the g402 is 60 compared to the g502's 80 price tag so that's a lot of

00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:24.639
most for your money and the review is pretty much over but i have one more

00:06:22.400 --> 00:06:29.039
closing thought thank you logitech for working on meaningful performance

00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:30.160
metrics instead of just focusing on dpi

00:06:29.039 --> 00:06:34.400
which many people are just going to lower anyways they don't even have their

00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:37.840
dpi blasted on the front of the box and it's clear they're more focused on

00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:43.520
things like their delta zero and fusion engine technologies i'm tired of seeing

00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:45.600
companies dump high-end flawed mice

00:06:43.520 --> 00:06:49.360
year after year and it's nice to see a shift in focus speaking of a shift in

00:06:47.919 --> 00:06:53.919
focus today's video is sponsored by Gigabyte auras x7 v2 gaming notebook

00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:57.520
this is the thin and light sli gaming notebook that we compared against a not

00:06:55.919 --> 00:07:01.919
so thin and light notebook in the video in the annotation here

00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:08.080
with two GeForce 860ms in sli an Intel i7 4860hq processor a 17.3 inch 1080p

00:07:06.479 --> 00:07:11.840
display a one terabyte hard drive and a few different options for SSD and RAM

00:07:09.840 --> 00:07:15.759
capacities all packed in a chassis that's less than 0.8 inches tall this is

00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:20.080
an absolute beast that you can pack in your backpack without breaking your back

00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:23.520
as a surprisingly good keyboard solid heat dissipation from its rear exhaust

00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:27.919
setup and more than acceptable noise levels for a thin notebook all which

00:07:25.520 --> 00:07:30.880
make the Gigabyte auris x7 v2 an ideal product for someone looking for a

00:07:29.039 --> 00:07:34.479
notebook that's suitable for everyday use as well as gaming so if you're in

00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:37.840
the market for a gaming notebook be sure to check out pricing and availability

00:07:35.919 --> 00:07:41.440
for the x7 v2 using the link in the video description let me know what you

00:07:39.440 --> 00:07:44.880
guys think about their delta zero and fusion core technologies as long as what

00:07:43.840 --> 00:07:50.720
do you guys think about our testing methodologies for stuff like acceleration also if you would like to

00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:54.639
save money getting the 402 or if you're more kind of into the baller style

00:07:52.400 --> 00:07:58.000
status of the g502 let me know all that kind of stuff in the comments down below

00:07:56.240 --> 00:08:02.400
where you should also be liking disliking subscribing sharing and

00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:05.759
otherwise distributing this video and if you want to post somewhere else because

00:08:03.919 --> 00:08:08.720
you're kind of not into youtube jump over to the forum post there and let me

00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:14.330
know what you think there if you don't like the ads on the forum become a contributor and as always thank you guys

00:08:12.080 --> 00:08:25.600
for watching i'll see you next time
