00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:08.000
Welcome to my unboxing and first look at the G400S from Logitech, which is part

00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:13.200
of their new G series, which is all about for science, rather, uh, science

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

00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:21.279
about DPIs and CPIs and GPA and all that

00:00:19.680 --> 00:00:25.279
kind of stuff. But what you actually find inside here is just this advanced

00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:29.840
surface materials. Feel the difference. a durable hydrophobic palm surface, soft

00:00:28.400 --> 00:00:33.680
touch side grips, and fingerprint resistant button coatings. So, what

00:00:31.439 --> 00:00:36.719
they're going for here is what the thing actually feels like to touch. I mean,

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

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

00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:50.239
sort of ranges that you can do with laser. Uh 25gs of max acceleration,

00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:54.800
1,000 reports per per second. This is one of the differences between the G400S

00:00:52.239 --> 00:00:58.399
and the G100S. Aside from the shape and just overall generally being a higherend

00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:04.159
mouse, 20 million clicks is the durability rating for the buttons with

00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:06.000
250 km for the uh the the the slippy

00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:10.159
feet on the bottom. Although I would be tempted to test one of these mice at

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

00:01:12.080 --> 00:01:17.360
behind a car for 250 km and I'm like,

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

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

00:01:23.759 --> 00:01:29.840
this bad boy up. This is the iconic

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

00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:39.840
classic MX Duo, which was my first

00:01:36.880 --> 00:01:42.960
high-performance keyboard mouse set, uh you've pretty much touched one of these,

00:01:41.600 --> 00:01:46.399
which is handy because you know what you're getting yourself into. It's got a

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

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

00:01:54.079 --> 00:02:00.560
their exclusive Delta Zero sensor for consistent high accuracy targeting. And

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

00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:10.800
than I've seen on a Logitech product before. So, it's like a blue blue

00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:14.400
inside. Then, we've got some presumably like a quick start guide or something

00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:18.080
like that. Logitech has long ago done away with including CDs with their

00:02:16.239 --> 00:02:21.280
products, which I think is great because they're just wasteful. Quite frankly,

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,

00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:33.360
eight programmable buttons are featured on the Wow. Really? This is hard

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

00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:44.879
like stuck in there. Ah, yes. success.

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,

00:02:50.239 --> 00:02:55.599
it's a little strange to me that Logitech didn't include a braided cable.

00:02:53.920 --> 00:02:59.120
Quite frankly, it's not like it affects the performance of the mouse in any way,

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

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

00:03:05.040 --> 00:03:09.360
sufficient length, so it'll be able to reach not only to the front of your

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

00:03:13.040 --> 00:03:20.480
12, 7 ft long, something along those lines. Now, they've talked a lot about

00:03:17.440 --> 00:03:23.200
the materials here, and they really are

00:03:20.480 --> 00:03:29.519
exceptional. So, this has a a grippy feel without being um without being

00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:33.680
rubber, sort of h how do you describe it? You can lift it without it feeling

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

00:03:35.760 --> 00:03:40.400
bit of texture here that just I don't

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

00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:51.360
Logitech sales pitch for these mice is, you know, 20 million clicks and 250 km

00:03:49.200 --> 00:03:54.799
and advanced materials, there's nothing I can tell you in an unboxing that's

00:03:53.040 --> 00:03:58.239
going to tell you like, oh yeah, the materials they used are great. Because

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

00:04:01.200 --> 00:04:07.040
rubberized grips on the outsides of mice do. Now Logitech's claiming that these

00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:11.439
are some of the most durable materials in existence for mice. But I mean it's

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

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

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

00:04:22.400 --> 00:04:28.000
well as your slippy feet here. You've got back and forward buttons in their

00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:32.000
ideal locations. I really like the way Logitech implements these. It was my MX

00:04:30.400 --> 00:04:36.320
Duo that got me used to the idea of having back and forward buttons. Now I

00:04:33.520 --> 00:04:39.840
really can't live without them. Um, other buttons they've also included are

00:04:37.919 --> 00:04:43.759
DPI increase and decrease. Remember, they're all programmable. As well as a

00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:47.440
default DPI button, although this one requires you to install the software.

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

00:04:49.440 --> 00:04:57.759
really slick looking G in the middle for their new G series. Overall, feels good.

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

00:04:59.440 --> 00:05:03.919
mouse, but it's not heavy by any stretch of the imagination. And I think that

00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:08.080
pretty much wraps us up. Thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look
