welcome to another unboxing this is the rat cone pure a gaming mouse for the
0:06
gamers who want all of the gaming
0:09
features I'm going let that sink in for a moment so in terms of features what do
0:13
we got Pro aim laser sensor R3 so it's an 8200 DPI sensor that they're claiming
0:19
is good for up to
0:22
12200 FPS okay uh so should be very
0:25
smooth movement button duplicator easy shift plus we'll show you this on the
0:29
mouse itself so what that basically allows you to do is set up a shift
0:34
button that enables different functionality of the other buttons so
0:37
instead of going okay function 1 2 3 4
0:42
five six s you could go okay shift one
0:47
and then that could be function 8 for example so you can have you can have a
0:51
shift button that allows you to enable more functionalities this is great for MMO players maybe less of a factor for
0:56
FPS players customizable lighting multicolor so 16 Point whatever million
1:00
colors on the rockat logo at the back rocket rocket I keep saying it wrong uh
1:05
tdcu is interesting so this is a tracking technology that is designed to
1:09
help you control um how much your lift distance affects the sensitivity of the
1:14
mouse itself so so you can configure how much lift distance you want to have
1:19
before it stops sensing and uh allows you to not sort of move all over the
1:23
place when you lift the mouse up when you get to the edge of your mouse pad
1:26
one other solution to that problem is to get a bigger mouse pad and that's usually what I recommend especially if
1:30
you're a low sensitivity gamer it's nice to have a nice big Pad but it's nice to
1:34
know that if you lift it's not going to go all over the place so it's got light
1:38
system drivers and macros ah rocket talk
1:41
so rocket talk is a good one what rocket talk does is it actually allows you with
1:46
multiple rocket devices that support rocket talk rocket talk uh they are able
1:51
to communicate with each other to enable sort of certain certain bonuses so
1:56
whether it's things like ambient lighting effects or um feedback based on
2:01
you know you got some like poison thing going on and the color of your mouse can
2:05
actually change to Green when there's a poison effect I mean not everyone looks
2:08
at their mouths while they're gaming but it's just one of those things that's kind of cool especially if you're at a
2:12
landan you know you uh you're low on mana and all your peripherals start to
2:15
grow glow blue and kind of cool things like that they've also got what they
2:19
call I totally have a cheat sheet for this you guys because I just kind of gave up on remembering everything talk
2:24
FX which is audio feedback which will actually allow you to go okay I'm going
2:28
to change my profile but maybe I'm not staring at my mouse so maybe like we've
2:33
seen mice that have color changing effects when you change profiles but
2:36
maybe I'm not looking at it say that same thing where maybe I'm not looking at it when my Mana is low because I'm
2:40
concerned with replenishing my Mana um what it'll do is it'll actually tell you
2:44
through your speakers the new DPI setting that you've changed and you can
2:47
configure what kinds of things it'll tell you so for example it can even say
2:50
things like volume up they've got a demo on their website that's actually pretty
2:54
neat so so that's cool 32-bit turbo cor
2:57
ARM processor so it's got a fast ship in it 576 kiloby of onboard memory allows
3:02
you to store tons of macros and settings and it's got seven Mouse buttons which
3:06
we showed you before high build quality using rron switches so let's actually
3:10
show you the mouse itself so it's a bit on the smallest side it's not a huge
3:14
mouse by any stretch of the imagination it is ergonomically shaped so you can
3:17
see it's uh designed for right-handed people shorter index finger longer
3:22
middle finger uh just a two 2D Mouse
3:25
button so there's no left and right shift just a click and then up and down
3:29
you've got back and forward buttons here on the left I think these are a must for
3:33
any Mouse these days if you don't have back and forward then it's sort of
3:37
brutal and then these guys right here for profile switching or honestly
3:40
whatever else you would like so then 1 2 3 4 5 6 7even those are your buttons
3:45
this is the lighting zone right here and on the bottom you find your 8200 DPI
3:50
sensor along with some Teflon pads along
3:53
the top and the bottom of the mouse these are big enough that you're not going to have any issues with them I
3:58
hated some some of the old mice they used to have little tiny pads like in
4:01
the corners and it made them wear out a lot faster it was very and they'd come
4:04
off too because there's not enough adhesive on them so that was just
4:08
ridiculous so in terms of ergonomics I'd say this is about perfect for my hands
4:12
even a touch on the small side if I was going to Palm it out right because you
4:16
can see that if I put my palm here my fingers are going to go right to the end
4:20
of the mouse itself so it's more of a claw grip Mouse um and I mean you know
4:25
what here I'm going to take the camera from slick for a second here I'm going to let him put his hand on it just to
4:29
give you some idea so that's with sort of a baseball glove uh baseball m-sized
4:34
hand uh no sorry do it again I I didn't get you before baseball m-sized hand so
4:38
you can see it's a little bit on the small side for him so I'd say this one
4:42
is would be great for girls guys with smaller hands but not necessarily
4:46
optimized for extremely large hands and I'm totally going to go back to my cheat
4:50
sheet make sure I didn't miss anything and I think we are good so don't forget
4:57
to subscribe oh yeah the rocket achievements so there's actually an
5:00
application built into the driver that will track your Usage Now this can be
5:04
useful because it'll tell you things like uh which buttons are being over
5:08
utilized or underutilized so that you can optimize better for you know your
5:13
gameplay which ones you find easiest to reach maybe you have a hard-to-reach
5:16
button and you're using that one all the time and an easy to reach button that you're not using all the time so you can
5:20
track stats like that and it also gives you little achievements like I think
5:24
diesel what was one of them called scroll Master uh sulum scroll Bon of scroll
5:30
that's what it was called so that's pretty funny don't forget to subscribe to lus Tech tips from unboxings reviews
