I've never unboxed an angry meow product before and that's because they usually
just stick to keyboards but what's this a mouse yes that's right angry meow is
releasing a mouse the infinity Mouse and it looks very
unique uh I don't know if you guys will be getting these boxes in the retail
packages but it comes in this neat little briefcase so I can look like a
very serious business person comes with a mouse comes with a matching aesthetic
dongle with a rem removable battery that's important we got our quick start
stuff a 6 foot cable a USB a2c
adapter and a little bag how well does
the mouse fit in here perfect there's not a separate compartment for the other
things which is I guess a little bit of a bummer but not a huge deal other than
that that's all that's in here instead of doing what most manufacturers do and
playing it safe angry meow has gone the other way and has this very funky
organic mechanized design that I think
will be hit or miss I kind of dig it although for a mouse it's probably not
going to be the most comfortable experience but in terms of just pure
Aesthetics it's pretty nice magnesium alloy body which means that it can be
very rigid even with a small amount of material angry M claims that this is the
lightest metal Mouse in this form factor and at 49 G it's hard to disagree at 49
gam this says 50 uh I'll call that margin of error this is a very very
light Mouse and because it's based on uh
F1 car that was the lightest in the 1978
season you know it's going to be really good let's explore the body we got our
left and right clicks we have our scroll wheel with a
click these clicks feel pretty good the travel is kind of long actually uh for a
mouse button but it's consistent all the way up to the top here that's actually
pretty impressive that it doesn't feel that different all across the mouse
button scroll wheel is pretty low resistance it feels fine although less
premium than the clicks but that might just be the fact that it's rubber as
opposed to metal it's got uh back and
forward plastic buttons on the side that are blue that's definitely an
interesting aesthetic Choice um I'm guessing they chose it as a complement
to the orange of the removable battery packs which we'll get to I'm not sure I
love that but I do like transparent things so I'm a little bit torn on the
bottom we have our PW 3950 as well as
several Glide pads those are pretty small so we'll have to measure how
smooth that's going to be um if we
remove our battery pack we have three magnetic pads as well as one little slot
for the extra magnet on the battery big
departure from pretty much every electronics maker we have removable
batteries which I'm a big fan of except that they then claim that that provides
infinite battery life because you can charge uh One battery while you're using
the other and while that's true in a sense that's not how infinite Works in
my opinion I don't know maybe you watching at home think that justifies
the term uh infinity you let me know down in the comments below there are
mice that have removal batteries but they're generally double A or AAA so
have a little removable lithium ion pack
I think is a pretty cool move uh and it seems like a pretty nifty design to have
it uh just kind of pop in and out like that and have the charger built into the
dongle I think that's actually really smart one thing that I kind of glossed
over because I think you can see is this open design where you can actually see
the PCB and all the parts uh inside the mouse I think that it's super striking
very sci-fi with yeah an organic sort of
twist because of these uh irregular shapes uh yeah looking into the mouse
and seeing all these parts is really Nifty you can literally see the parts
name for the sensor as well as the other parts on this PCB that being said an
open design like this comes with some pretty serious trade-offs mostly in the
cleanliness realm uh obviously dust uh
and other particulates can get into here causing reliability issues more than a
cloth shaped design it's going to be a preference thing traditionally I like
closed design mice more uh I've come around a little bit to not minding
honeycomb or open design as much uh depending on the way the shape is for me
the mouse is resting right where the fingers kind of Meet the palm and it's
sort of landing on these edges that I
find is not a super comfortable fit it's definitely not the worst and I think it
really depends on your hand shape I have fairly small fingers and a mediumsized
palm feels like it'd be a little bit irritating after a long time of rubbing
but the trade-off is that 49 G weight
the last two things that I haven't talked about yet are the mode switch button which allowed you to go from
wired to dongle use to Bluetooth which is a nice convenience as well as type-c
uh charging which is a must in 2025 in
my opinion um other than that pretty
standard Mouse and besides where my hand lands on this sort of edge uh pretty
nice shape my fingers rest naturally on these buttons and it feels like a very
natural Mouse to use the Glide pad seem to be doing a
pretty adequate job I have a G Pro X super light with glass skates at home uh
and that makes it a super smooth experience with big giant glass Glide
pads uh and so this isn't quite up to that enough but it's definitely within
the realm of good you know what else is good our sponsor War Thunder join over

click our links in the video description and get started today once I figured out
which part of the switch was the 2.4 gig I switched that and away we go we got
some crazy RGB on our dongle which as
long as I'm able to disable in software is okay we're getting a look at this
mouse before it's released so this is pre-released software uh so it might be
a little bit different when you were considering this Mouse um but it looks
pretty Bare Bones you can reassign buttons uh you can set macros change the
DPI we can set our dpis there is no DPI
switch button by default but you could set one of your five buttons to be a DPI
switch which I don't think most people
will do I'm not a DPI switcher on the fly so that's not a huge deal I usually
set it at 800 and leave it there
parameter oh that's nice so you have a USB key debounce 2.4 key key debounce uh
which will basically just be the speed at which it rejects double bounces um
we're going to leave it all the way at the top we can set the standby times as
as well as the polling rate cuz I didn't even mention this is an 8K pulling rate
Mouse um that chews your battery a lot more than lower polling rates but
theoretically should get you a smoother experience personally I haven't
experienced a huge difference between 1,000 and 8,000 okay cool I can change
the color of the mouse light when it's
charging we can reset getting everything back to default oh you can download
profiles uh so you can save a profile and download it to different computer
presumably my guess is it saves a profile to the mouse but if you're
switching computers and want to have multiple profiles uh you can save it and
download it that's Nifty like I said pretty barebone software but it's nice
to have the option to control stuff if you wish the magnets feel very very
secure but I'm wondering if uh I threw a tantrum uh if I could get this batter to
fall out oh I just got killed stayes pretty good I have to be
shake it off the table
it's good it's good let's play some
games I've double checked that we are set at 800 DPI it feels a little bit
fast uh but when I play competitive Shooters I usually do play at 1080p so
that does have an impact this fov is making these dots so
freaking small yeah like I said I don't play competitive Shooters anymore I just
kind of suck First Impressions this Mouse uh is working pretty dar
flawlessly makes sense it's one of the Flawless sensors uh and the input
latency when we tested in Labs was around 4 milliseconds which is quite
good and it's about the same wired versus wireless Bluetooth there's an
added bit of latency um but if you're playing competitive games via Bluetooth
that's crazy I didn't even talk about the feel
of the side buttons I think they're appropriately clicky and they're in
about the right spot they're more
rubbery than I immediately thought like there is kind of resistance from sliding
across uh I think they feel kind of Premium I I kind of dig them I have to
say no complaints about the performance of this mouse it feels very premium very
responsive um comfort issues aside which are always a preference thing uh I think
this is a very very solid option to
consider the fact that I'm more interested in playing than really
testing out this mouse tells me all I need to know this is a good Mouse with a
Flawless sensor good performance uh very
very very very light premium body uh
maybe a bit divisive of an aesthetic but
at $150 when you compare it to the Viper
mini signature at
$300 this is a pretty darn compelling package from a company that hasn't
traditionally made mice and so I'm excited to see their next one maybe a
more traditional shape uh or revision of
this V that doesn't really work for me but it's definitely a mouse worth
considering for you and let us know in the comments below if this is a mouse
you would consider just like you should consider watching more short circuits
like our unboxing of the Razer Viper mini a very very nice Mouse uh but it's
a little more expensive
