you may have never heard of final Mouse the company responsible for the
0:04
creatively named final Mouse but despite
0:07
its obscurity the final mouse that is to say the mouse and I guess by extension
0:13
the company too has generated enough
0:16
Buzz that in spite of the premium price point and lack of any sort of pedigree I
0:21
not only bought into the hype and bought one before they had even announced that
0:25
it was on sale but it also managed to
0:28
stay out of my P of false hope and
0:32
Broken
0:41
Dreams Intel brings ddr4 to the
0:44
mainstream with their new core i76700 K and core i56600k
0:50
processors click now to learn more so
0:54
where did the so-called hype come from it certainly has nothing to do with the
0:58
ergonomic design the student among you may have even noticed it's just an
1:02
off-the-shelf oem design you can find
1:05
mice like this for $10 and it's exactly
1:09
the same shell but let's take a tour of it anyway it has a soft touch coating
1:14
for the main body a glossy plastic right side and a textured plastic on the left
1:20
it has a thin manageable braided cable a left click a right click a scroll wheel
1:25
two thumb buttons and one DPI button
1:28
that Cycles through 400 800600 and 3200 DPI revolutionary right
1:35
yeah I know it's not but in spite of the generic appearance the inside guts do
1:40
get more interesting the sensor is actually the acceleration free 3310 that
1:44
can also be found in other well-regarded and more pedigreed mice including the
1:49
steel series rival rocket KPM and Zoe
1:52
fk2 but there's a big difference final
1:55
Mass offers no customizability of DPI
1:58
steps lights button commands or pulling rate because they've designed the final
2:03
Mouse to be genuinely driverless not like oh you can opt to not use drivers
2:08
but you can't change lights and stuff there's nothing you can change and no
2:13
drivers you can install even if you wanted to and even the packaging is bare
2:18
with just a small slip of paper with instructions and a final mous sticker
2:23
this kind of sounds like a bad thing but
2:26
it's actually not I bought the mess when it was first first announced and I I
2:32
hated it well I wanted to hate it the
2:35
build quality was terrible the buttons were loose the mouse feet were poorly
2:40
cut in placed and the bottom of the mouse would actually catch on my mouse
2:44
pad at $70 why would anyone care about the
2:48
final Mouse furthermore why am I bothering to do this video well in spite
2:53
of its plain design and sub far build quality it actually does perform and you
2:58
know that that's their aim Pure Performance final Mouse have put quite a
3:04
bit of work into perfecting the sensor controller and firmware of this mouse
3:08
while it can specifically reveal their secret sauce I can say that I spoke at
3:12
length with one of their engineers and they have put in a ton of work into
3:17
massaging the 3310 sensor in this mouse
3:20
to be the best it can possibly be for Competitive Gaming they told me they put
3:26
more power into the sensor designed the circuitry to be as low latency as
3:31
possible and show settings that their team found to be the most stable and
3:35
accurate rather than simply shooting for the the biggest most marketable number
3:40
which is why they went with a 500 htz polling rate instead of 1,000 and why
3:45
their DPI tops out at 3200 the entire team behind the mess
3:49
plays CSG go at the legendary Eagle level or higher and being smfc myself I
3:55
feel like they're making the mess I've been looking for I've personally tested
4:00
all the big hitters this is the first one I felt actually improved my game
4:05
it's just so light and responsive so while I wanted to hate it based on the
4:09
horrific build quality my aim in CSO has
4:13
never been so good and I can make flick shots to the face with such speed and
4:17
precision that I feel guilty it's enough to make me wonder if this mouse from
4:21
this unknown company has a built an Aimbot despite the amazing accuracy the
4:26
build quality was so bad I had to sh my
4:29
first unit fortunately they have a three-year warranty and they're very
4:34
responsive their revised summer Edition comes with a whole host of Welcome fixes
4:38
and tweaks the new mouse feet no longer catch on my mouse pad the back button no
4:43
longer shakes and they're looking to make even more changes going forward as
4:47
a result of feedback from the community
4:50
specifically me that's a lie kind of at
4:53
74 G they've crafted an incredibly light mous the g100s and Abyss Has Come Close
4:59
close if you remove the weight inside them but they lack thumb buttons compare
5:04
that to the Logitech g303 at 87 G the
5:07
rocket KPM at around 90 G or the steel
5:11
series rival at 128 G it feels less like
5:15
you're moving an object and more like it's just part of your hand the liftoff
5:20
distance is 1 to 1.5 CDs depending on
5:23
your mous pad color and while the DPI settings seem limiting it's all you
5:28
really need for most games and more than enough for csgo where higher ranked
5:32
players often stick to dpis of 400 to
5:36
800 Mouse tester and in-game test confirm that there's no acceleration and
5:40
it just feels responsive and that's
5:43
really it so in summary the light is kind of annoyingly bright the build
5:47
quality is suspect at times and the price seems a bit too high but the
5:52
three-year warrranty is impressive the tracking performance is amazing second
5:57
to nothing else that I've tried and it's the lightest Mouse in the category so if
6:01
you want something that simply performs the final Mouse might be your final
6:06
Mouse that's so cheesy I love it you know what else you might not need to
6:11
