00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:08,000
Welcome to my unboxing and first look at the G400S from Logitech, which is part

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:13,200
of their new G series, which is all about for science, rather, uh, science

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:19,680
wins. So, here you go. When you open it up, normally you'd find a bunch of stuff

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:21,279
about DPIs and CPIs and GPA and all that

5
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:25,279
kind of stuff. But what you actually find inside here is just this advanced

6
00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:29,840
surface materials. Feel the difference. a durable hydrophobic palm surface, soft

7
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:33,680
touch side grips, and fingerprint resistant button coatings. So, what

8
00:00:31,439 --> 00:00:36,719
they're going for here is what the thing actually feels like to touch. I mean,

9
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:40,960
yeah, you're going to find specs on the outside of the box as well. So, 400 to

10
00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:45,760
4,000 DPI. This is an optical mouse, so you don't get those crazy like 8,000 DPI

11
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:50,239
sort of ranges that you can do with laser. Uh 25gs of max acceleration,

12
00:00:48,399 --> 00:00:54,800
1,000 reports per per second. This is one of the differences between the G400S

13
00:00:52,239 --> 00:00:58,399
and the G100S. Aside from the shape and just overall generally being a higherend

14
00:00:56,399 --> 00:01:04,159
mouse, 20 million clicks is the durability rating for the buttons with

15
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:06,000
250 km for the uh the the the slippy

16
00:01:04,159 --> 00:01:10,159
feet on the bottom. Although I would be tempted to test one of these mice at

17
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:15,200
some point and uh see if I can get like a warranty replacement like if I drag it

18
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:17,360
behind a car for 250 km and I'm like,

19
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:22,400
"Yeah, it wore through." Like, do they mean 250 km on a road surface or on a

20
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:26,960
mouse pad? I'm just kidding. I know what they mean. So, let's go ahead and open

21
00:01:23,759 --> 00:01:29,840
this bad boy up. This is the iconic

22
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:36,880
Logitech Shape. So, if you've ever owned a G5 or a G500 or even going back to my

23
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:39,840
classic MX Duo, which was my first

24
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:42,960
high-performance keyboard mouse set, uh you've pretty much touched one of these,

25
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:46,399
which is handy because you know what you're getting yourself into. It's got a

26
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:52,240
three-year warranty, and they're saying you need Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista, but I would be floored if

27
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:56,079
they don't work with uh if it doesn't work with Windows XP. Last thing is

28
00:01:54,079 --> 00:02:00,560
their exclusive Delta Zero sensor for consistent high accuracy targeting. And

29
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:05,520
that's pretty much it. So, let's go ahead and check this out. So, they've got a bit of a different packaging style

30
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:10,800
than I've seen on a Logitech product before. So, it's like a blue blue

31
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:14,400
inside. Then, we've got some presumably like a quick start guide or something

32
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:18,080
like that. Logitech has long ago done away with including CDs with their

33
00:02:16,239 --> 00:02:21,280
products, which I think is great because they're just wasteful. Quite frankly,

34
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:28,000
you should always go to the manufacturer's website and download the latest drivers. And here we go. So,

35
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:33,360
eight programmable buttons are featured on the Wow. Really? This is hard

36
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:39,480
to I mean, I've unboxed a lot of stuff, but this is uh this is challenging. It's

37
00:02:36,879 --> 00:02:44,879
like stuck in there. Ah, yes. success.

38
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:51,280
Um, yeah, I totally lost my train of thought. We'll be back in a moment. Now,

39
00:02:50,239 --> 00:02:55,599
it's a little strange to me that Logitech didn't include a braided cable.

40
00:02:53,920 --> 00:02:59,120
Quite frankly, it's not like it affects the performance of the mouse in any way,

41
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:03,840
but it just makes it feel a little bit more more premium when you're dropping a

42
00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:06,400
few bucks on a on a gaming mouse. For what it's worth, it does have a

43
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,360
sufficient length, so it'll be able to reach not only to the front of your

44
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:14,720
case, but also around to the back without any difficulty. So, it looks like it's about Yeah, it's about 6 and

45
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:20,480
12, 7 ft long, something along those lines. Now, they've talked a lot about

46
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:23,200
the materials here, and they really are

47
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:29,519
exceptional. So, this has a a grippy feel without being um without being

48
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:33,680
rubber, sort of h how do you describe it? You can lift it without it feeling

49
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:39,120
like your fingers are stuck to it. And then on the back, there's a little tiny

50
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:40,400
bit of texture here that just I don't

51
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:46,560
know, it actually does feel kind of nice. Same thing up here on the buttons as well. I mean, honestly though, if

52
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:51,360
Logitech sales pitch for these mice is, you know, 20 million clicks and 250 km

53
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:54,799
and advanced materials, there's nothing I can tell you in an unboxing that's

54
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:58,239
going to tell you like, oh yeah, the materials they used are great. Because

55
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:03,200
what it's going to come down to is does it peel in 2 or 3 years like so many

56
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:07,040
rubberized grips on the outsides of mice do. Now Logitech's claiming that these

57
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:11,439
are some of the most durable materials in existence for mice. But I mean it's

58
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:15,680
it's hard to sell something like that when we're not going to know how great

59
00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:19,280
it is until it's people have been using them for a few years. So at any rate um

60
00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:24,560
no adjustable weights or anything like that. You've just got your standard optical sensor hole on the bottom as

61
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:28,000
well as your slippy feet here. You've got back and forward buttons in their

62
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:32,000
ideal locations. I really like the way Logitech implements these. It was my MX

63
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:36,320
Duo that got me used to the idea of having back and forward buttons. Now I

64
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:39,840
really can't live without them. Um, other buttons they've also included are

65
00:04:37,919 --> 00:04:43,759
DPI increase and decrease. Remember, they're all programmable. As well as a

66
00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:47,440
default DPI button, although this one requires you to install the software.

67
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:51,440
It's also got a middle click as well as left and right clicks. And it's got a

68
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:57,759
really slick looking G in the middle for their new G series. Overall, feels good.

69
00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:01,040
It's a little bit on the lighter side of medium, so it's not a super lightweight

70
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,919
mouse, but it's not heavy by any stretch of the imagination. And I think that

71
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:08,080
pretty much wraps us up. Thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look
