1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,400 So, you bought a cheapo backlit keyboard from our last guide. 2 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,340 But come on, if you want to do anything other than sit in the dark playing Q-Op, 3 00:00:09,700 --> 00:00:14,840 you're gonna need a hella wicked but bank account friendly gaming mouse to go with it, right? 4 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:22,140 Well, turn out your pockets, rip up your seat cushions, and scrape out those cup holders, 5 00:00:22,140 --> 00:00:29,460 because kids, every gaming mouse in this roundup costs less than $15. 6 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:47,320 Synergy is the amazing software that lets you share your mouse and keyboard between multiple computers. 7 00:00:47,900 --> 00:00:50,680 Check it out now at the link in the video description. 8 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:57,300 First up, at $9.99, we have the mouse known only as Sautech, 9 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:03,860 sporting the cheap and glossy Power Rangers look, which is totally in for spring 2017. 10 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:09,160 But don't judge a mouse by its grease magnet fur. 11 00:01:09,500 --> 00:01:14,880 The Sautech has the highest Amazon rating of any mouse in our roundup, 12 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:22,280 boasting a max DPI of 3,200, higher than the 2,400 DPI of most of the competition, 13 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:29,940 and it's the most symmetrical, ensuring apparently no fatigue, even for a long time use. 14 00:01:30,580 --> 00:01:34,420 The scroll wheel is unexceptional, a little mushy feeling, 15 00:01:34,420 --> 00:01:39,460 but the moderate to heavy right and left click feel very similar, 16 00:01:39,460 --> 00:01:42,400 indicating at least some consistency in the switch quality. 17 00:01:42,580 --> 00:01:47,840 The breathing LEDs provide visual feedback when stepping through the four DPI presets, 18 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,160 and it even has a quality control past sticker. 19 00:01:52,860 --> 00:01:56,720 Although apparently you get one of these even if your mouse shows up broken. 20 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,760 Sautech never skimps on the included decals. 21 00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:08,220 The Havit MS672 from their Magic Eagle lineup is the glowiest mouse in the bunch, 22 00:02:08,220 --> 00:02:09,320 with as many as, 23 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,320 two colors shining at once. 24 00:02:12,020 --> 00:02:17,400 It's got a soft touch finish and actually decent feeling build quality. 25 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:22,140 From the heavier clicks, to the multi-color woven braided cord. 26 00:02:22,300 --> 00:02:26,300 Though it should be noted the mouse wheel appears to be a common problem. 27 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,920 Ergonomics wise, if you've got the Donald sized hands like me, 28 00:02:31,980 --> 00:02:36,040 you'll probably feel like you have to stretch to hit the side buttons, 29 00:02:36,260 --> 00:02:38,800 which, just like the Sautech, 30 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:39,300 are 31 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,320 programmed backwards for some reason. 32 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:47,640 And I also couldn't help noticing that the finger rests only really work at a bizarre, 33 00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:49,940 unnatural angle for my wrist, 34 00:02:49,940 --> 00:02:53,740 and that it's pretty hard to hold on to when lifting it off the mat. 35 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,080 Ergonomics are not a strong point for this one. 36 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,780 The cheapest mouse in our roundup is the Letton S20, 37 00:03:01,780 --> 00:03:03,320 which we got for, 38 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:04,760 WOW! 39 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:05,700 $499! 40 00:03:05,700 --> 00:03:09,060 Though at this point it's gone up to $999 on Amazon.com. 41 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:09,820 And... 42 00:03:09,820 --> 00:03:10,320 WHAT?! 43 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,820 $62 on Amazon.ca! 44 00:03:13,820 --> 00:03:17,820 Maybe that accounts for the effective antioxidant and 45 00:03:17,820 --> 00:03:24,820 electromagnetic ring to reduce radiation claims that they make on the product page. 46 00:03:24,820 --> 00:03:26,850 In all seriousness though, 47 00:03:26,850 --> 00:03:29,850 this one has an understated look that we appreciated, 48 00:03:29,850 --> 00:03:32,850 feels pretty good in a claw grip, 49 00:03:32,850 --> 00:03:34,850 with the textured plastic sides, 50 00:03:34,850 --> 00:03:36,850 and lightweight making lift-offs easy, 51 00:03:36,850 --> 00:03:38,850 and the medium weight clicks, 52 00:03:38,850 --> 00:03:41,850 all felt consistent and pretty good. 53 00:03:41,850 --> 00:03:45,850 Almost letting us forgive the very short cord, 54 00:03:45,850 --> 00:03:51,850 and the lack of advertised gold plating on the USB connector contacts. 55 00:03:51,850 --> 00:03:54,110 Time to kick it up a notch then, 56 00:03:54,110 --> 00:03:57,110 with the Emarth Combatter Wing. 57 00:03:57,110 --> 00:03:58,610 Or as I like to call it, 58 00:03:58,610 --> 00:04:01,610 the Cyborg Can't 9. 59 00:04:01,610 --> 00:04:03,610 The most aggressive looking, 60 00:04:03,610 --> 00:04:05,110 and subjectively, 61 00:04:05,110 --> 00:04:07,610 janky ass mouse in the pile. 62 00:04:07,610 --> 00:04:09,110 It's the heaviest one, 63 00:04:09,110 --> 00:04:11,110 and it's a low-wired mouse, 64 00:04:11,110 --> 00:04:13,110 thanks to its steel-based construction. 65 00:04:13,110 --> 00:04:17,110 It claims to have 10 programmable buttons, 66 00:04:17,110 --> 00:04:20,110 but if you don't count scroll wheel up and down, 67 00:04:20,110 --> 00:04:21,110 you get 9, 68 00:04:21,110 --> 00:04:23,110 and if you do, it's 11. 69 00:04:23,110 --> 00:04:24,110 So... 70 00:04:24,110 --> 00:04:25,110 Anyway, 71 00:04:25,110 --> 00:04:27,110 the default mapping is a bit weird too. 72 00:04:27,110 --> 00:04:28,110 I mean, 73 00:04:28,110 --> 00:04:31,110 who would want to go forward and back using these? 74 00:04:31,110 --> 00:04:33,110 How do you reach these, 75 00:04:33,110 --> 00:04:35,110 no matter what you program them to? 76 00:04:35,110 --> 00:04:37,110 And on the subject of ergonomics, 77 00:04:37,110 --> 00:04:38,110 well, 78 00:04:38,110 --> 00:04:42,110 it's a mouse targeting users with smaller hands, 79 00:04:42,110 --> 00:04:47,110 and it's got these springs to adjust the width of the... 80 00:04:47,110 --> 00:04:48,110 You know what? 81 00:04:48,110 --> 00:04:50,110 Just forget it. 82 00:04:50,110 --> 00:04:52,110 What it gains in style points, 83 00:04:52,110 --> 00:04:55,110 it loses in points points, 84 00:04:55,110 --> 00:04:58,110 and mine came with a broken right click, 85 00:04:58,110 --> 00:04:59,110 so don't buy this thing. 86 00:04:59,110 --> 00:05:00,110 Moving on, 87 00:05:00,110 --> 00:05:04,110 the Red Dragon M601 Centrophorus is, 88 00:05:04,110 --> 00:05:06,110 shall we say, 89 00:05:06,110 --> 00:05:07,110 inspired 90 00:05:07,110 --> 00:05:09,110 by the MSI Interceptor, 91 00:05:09,110 --> 00:05:13,110 and is the proud winner of several awards in our roundup here, 92 00:05:13,110 --> 00:05:16,110 including best unboxing experience, 93 00:05:16,110 --> 00:05:17,110 longest cord, 94 00:05:17,110 --> 00:05:19,110 and lowest weight, 95 00:05:19,110 --> 00:05:21,110 or not. 96 00:05:21,110 --> 00:05:24,110 It's the only mouse that came with removable weights, 97 00:05:24,110 --> 00:05:25,110 though, 98 00:05:25,110 --> 00:05:29,110 I almost broke my fingers trying to open the frickin' door. 99 00:05:29,110 --> 00:05:31,110 It's comfortable, 100 00:05:31,110 --> 00:05:33,110 the plastics feel quality, 101 00:05:33,110 --> 00:05:36,110 and it has a grippy finish on the medium weight right and left click, 102 00:05:36,110 --> 00:05:39,110 that'll be nice while it lasts. 103 00:05:39,110 --> 00:05:40,110 Overall, 104 00:05:40,110 --> 00:05:43,110 this one came away with top marks during our tests, 105 00:05:43,110 --> 00:05:44,110 but your mileage may vary. 106 00:05:44,110 --> 00:05:46,110 We did find complaints online 107 00:05:46,110 --> 00:05:50,360 about short connectivity hiccups every few minutes. 108 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,360 Onto the only mouse without a braided cable, 109 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,360 or any cable, 110 00:05:55,360 --> 00:06:03,360 the EagleTech MG001 is a wireless gaming mouse for $13.99. 111 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,360 It's got a high arch for large hands, 112 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:06,360 and, 113 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,360 though all of our mice feature toggleable DPI settings, 114 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,360 this is the only one with dedicated buttons for up and down. 115 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,360 It's got three side buttons, 116 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:17,360 which are easy to reach, 117 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,360 and map to control, 118 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,360 alt, and shift by default for some reason. 119 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,360 That'll need to be remapped with a third party tool, 120 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:25,360 me thinks. 121 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:26,360 It's got a battery saving, 122 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:27,360 non-LED mode, 123 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:28,360 and, 124 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:29,360 believe it or not, 125 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:30,360 not only was it, 126 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:31,360 subjectively, 127 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,360 the most comfortable mouse in our roundup, 128 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:34,360 it performed the best, 129 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,360 in our counter strike test, 130 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:37,360 with its input lag, 131 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,360 not being noticeably worse than any of our other mice here, 132 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,360 and two meter per second maximum tracking speed, 133 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,360 being the best. 134 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaking of best, 135 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,360 the Bestly ZM700 gaming mouse, 136 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:51,360 is a decent all-rounder, 137 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,360 especially if you have longer fingers, 138 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,360 with breathing LEDs that cycle according to DPI, 139 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,360 or that can be set to a solid color of your choice, 140 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:01,360 including pink, 141 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,360 using the included software. 142 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,360 It's got a simple base design, 143 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:06,360 with a couple of flares, 144 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:07,360 a thumb, 145 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:08,360 and a pinky pad, 146 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,360 that helps it glide around, 147 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,360 and it's got these sort of, 148 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:13,360 dark night, 149 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:14,360 fairing things, 150 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,360 that could probably poke your eye out. 151 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,360 It's reasonably comfortable, 152 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,360 and every button but the left click, 153 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,360 is programmable. 154 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:23,360 Unfortunately, 155 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,360 it was the only mouse to fail our, 156 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,360 glossy conference room table test, 157 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:29,360 and, 158 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,360 as for the advertised weight tuning system, 159 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,810 there's nothing built in, 160 00:07:34,810 --> 00:07:35,810 so the expectation seems to be, 161 00:07:35,810 --> 00:07:38,810 that you're going to DIY it. 162 00:07:38,810 --> 00:07:40,040 Bringing us finally, 163 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,040 to the highest resolution mouse in town, 164 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,040 Zelotes, 165 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,040 550 DPI gaming mouse for pro gamers, 166 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,040 AKA, 167 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,040 the T80 Big Mac. 168 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,160 I think, 169 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,160 unexceptional, 170 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,160 summarizes this one pretty well. 171 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,160 Its size makes it suitable for medium to large hands, 172 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,160 it's got a competitive gamery look, 173 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:02,160 and a pinky rest, 174 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,160 mostly delivering on its promises of, 175 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,160 built weight iron, 176 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:08,160 feel comfortable, 177 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,160 mobile and stability, 178 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,160 and it also has this nifty double click button, 179 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,160 but I'm personally not convinced, 180 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,160 that moving my finger over to click it, 181 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:18,160 is actually any faster, 182 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,160 than simply clicking the medium weight left click twice. 183 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,160 So which one, 184 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,160 should you buy then? 185 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,160 Let's get this out of the way first. 186 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,160 If you're a low sensitivity gamer, 187 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,160 none of them. 188 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:31,160 Ed, 189 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,160 our resident CSGO player, 190 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,160 gave every single one of our mice, 191 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,160 a fail, 192 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,160 in the tracking speed department, 193 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,160 with all but one of them, 194 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,160 coming in at under 1.5 meters per second, 195 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:44,160 maximum. 196 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:45,200 With that said, 197 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,200 he didn't notice any obvious latency, 198 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:49,200 or accuracy issues, 199 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,200 so they should be okay for casual use, 200 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:53,200 in other games, 201 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,200 or for higher sensitivity players. 202 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,200 So with that in mind then, 203 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,200 the Eagle Tech Wireless works pretty well, 204 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,200 and runs on standard AA batteries, 205 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,200 if you don't mind the extra weight, 206 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,200 and the expense associated with that. 207 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,200 If you like a simpler mouse, 208 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,200 the Letton checks all the boxes for us. 209 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,200 This was my personal favorite, 210 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,200 of all the wired choices. 211 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:17,200 And, 212 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,200 if you're looking for something a little more aggressive looking, 213 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,200 the Red Dragon is probably the most bang for your buck. 214 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:23,200 Just bear in mind, 215 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,200 that with any of these choices, 216 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,200 you might not get the same kind of longevity, 217 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:30,200 that you might expect, 218 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,200 from a higher end gaming mouse, 219 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,200 from a respectable brand. 220 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:38,260 Synergy is an amazingly elegant solution, 221 00:09:38,260 --> 00:09:39,260 to the problem, 222 00:09:39,260 --> 00:09:43,260 of having too many keyboards and mice on your desk. 223
