welcome to an onlocation unboxing of the
0:03
funk surface 1030 XL we're actually in the middle of our uh production set for
0:10
our video about the making of the funk
0:13
M3s gaming mouse so we uh we figured
0:17
since we have a few M3 s's cuz we have to do some funky stuff with them um we
0:23
can unbox that later but this one since we got to open it we might as well unbox
0:28
it now so this is if you guys don't know Funk it's probably because you haven't
0:33
been on the gaming scene for long enough because Funk mouse pads have been around
0:37
for a super long time I have an ancient Funk pad that's still running on my
0:41
in-law's computer still tracks perfectly like the day I got it it's a soft one
0:46
anyway this is the original dual-sided Mouse surface concept yes funk's claim
0:51
to fame was their old dual sided mouse pads where they had a smooth side on one
0:56
side and a rough side on the other side so if you like it smooth then you can do
1:00
that if you like it rough then you can do that too large tracking area large
1:04
rubber feet this is the XL version so there is uh a large version so this is
1:10
this is extra large as you can tell from the box it's quite large it's about one
1:13
Linus body width in height and then
1:16
about um I don't know two whatever of
1:21
those is in length so let's not worry too much about that let's open this bad
1:25
boy up all started in 1999 in sunny California bunch of passionate Gamers
1:30
and friends got fed up with computer gear not cutting it after the successful
1:34
launch of the surface 1030 the archetype was introduced to the market so there's
1:38
a little bit of history of funk and don't be fooled into thinking
1:41
performance can be heightened by adding more features rather than perfecting core functions so here is a piece of
1:47
foam over top of it that protects the mouse pad itself here
1:52
is oh okay get a funk Insider account you can be a beta tester and all kinds
1:56
of interesting neat stuff like that cool here's a little pull tab so you can open
2:00
it up get the mouse pad it's nice little velvety thing that it sits on the
2:04
packaging is outstanding this is some of the best packaging I think I've seen on
2:08
a mouse pad so the original dual-sided mouse pad large rubber feet on the
2:12
bottom check that out o those are nice those are like super like okay it's hard
2:17
to make my point of how grippy they are but why don't I just try putting it on a
2:22
surface and then moving a mouse on top of it and showing that it's not going to
2:26
move at all so there I think I've made my point now
2:30
and then this must be the uh the Rough
2:34
Side so it's got a bit of a texture to
2:38
it okay and then the smooth
2:41
side see you can hear that's a very
2:45
different noise so um there's two little tabs here so that you can pop out the
2:49
mouse pad and change it on a whim so you just pop it out from there and I think
2:55
that's pretty much everything else there is to say about it it has a 2-year
2:58
warranty and thank you for checking out my
