0:13
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the tte sports level 10m gaming mouse
0:18
their tagline is born to be seen which
0:21
brings us to the level 10 concept so this isn't the first level 10 product
0:25
from thermal take and it is as such not
0:28
the first product that they built in collaboration with BMW design Works USA
0:34
so what's what's level 10 according to their
0:37
website I'm just going to read this experience high-end computers through
0:42
the design itself combine iconic design with
0:46
Optimum functionality and Innovative details with these products quality is
0:50
of the utmost importance so you're not going to find any skimping on the
0:53
workmanship or the materials here and
0:56
it's a little bit different from the inspired by Pro gamers approach for
1:00
something like a safira which was designed in collaboration with white raw
1:04
the Starcraft 2 player whereas this is
1:07
more like yeah it has to have the functionality and the ergonomics and the
1:10
Comfort but it also has to look like something that anyone who has you know a
1:16
sense of style would proudly display on their desk so this attention to detail
1:21
and quality carries over in the specs first thing we find about this mouse is
1:25
it's got an 8200 DPI laser sensor that's pretty much topof the range as as far as
1:30
it goes today you've also got fully programmable buttons that can be
1:33
switched between profiles with the DPI
1:36
and profile switcher button so this is a multi-way button 1 2 3 4 right there and
1:42
you've got a on the left side left right
1:45
and middle click as well as CN buttons
1:48
on the right side for a total of 11 programmable keys that you can
1:52
reconfigure in the software you've also got DPI indicators up here on the top
1:57
right that light up when the mouse is illuminated and it's available in three
2:01
different colors depending on your personal preference Diamond black Iron
2:04
white and Military green one of the things about the mouse that I really
2:08
feel marries the functionality and design aspects is the aluminum unibody
2:13
shell so what this does is it adds rigidity to the mouse so it's very very
2:18
strong using aluminum like this it's relatively lightweight compared to other
2:21
metals so it goes all the way from the right side to the bottom to the left and
2:25
it's corrosion resistant this is a property of aluminum that might not be
2:28
that helpful on a mouse unless you're eating corrosive snacks while you're
2:32
gaming but last and not least aluminum does help with heat dissipation so the
2:36
fact that you're going to be making contact with the mouse on the right and left side could help to cool your hand a
2:41
little bit although I don't think it's can to make a huge difference and that combined with again another design
2:46
aesthetic of the mouse right here the ventilation holes on the top couldn't
2:49
hurt in terms of making sure that you don't over sweat yourself and you know
2:54
find your hand slipping off the mouse during a long gaming session another
2:57
functionality thing is the fact that the mouse has what they're calling 3D
3:00
adjustments so you get 15° on the back of the mouse with the included tool I'm
3:05
trying to remove this here I'm having a difficult time there you go so you can
3:09
adjust the backing up and down this is 15° so it's all the way down now now I'm
3:15
going up so you can hopefully see how that's being adjusted there or maybe I'm
3:18
going down now yeah I'm going down now so this this backing piece right here
3:23
and then you can also actually tilt the mouse left and right 5 mm so I'm I hope
3:29
you're going to able to see this maybe we'll do an overlay a closeup there so
3:32
you can hopefully see how the back actually tilts so this allows your wrist
3:35
to be a little bit more aligned while you're using it more design and
3:39
aesthetic but this should definitely appeal to The Gamers out there is the
3:43
fact that it has seven different lighting colors available in four
3:47
different zones so I'm going to go ahead and plug the mouse in and we're going to see what we get by default here so the
3:52
Dragon Inside lights up the mouse wheel
3:55
itself lights up the DPI selector lights up and then this design design element
4:00
rectangle up here also lights up meaning that you can see the lighting effects of
4:04
the mouse from any angle where you're looking at it and you can change them
4:08
around to whatever is going to suit your personal aesthetic so you can see that
4:12
the red version of the mouse comes with red by default however like I said you
4:16
can use the software to completely change that around if you want now the
4:19
last little bit of Hardware functionality is the AHA carrying case
4:23
that it comes with that includes two separate pouches one for the mouse and
4:27
one for the cable so more functionality built into it wherever you happen to be
4:31
taking your mouse you don't want to scratch it because it's not just
4:35
functional it's also stylish it's got to look good on your desk as much as it has
4:38
to be functional so it's going to come down to the individual do you want
4:42
something more Pro gamer inspired like a Sapphira where it's all about the
4:46
ergonomics and like the button placements and everything is exactly
4:49
perfect exactly there and that is all um or do you want something that is more
4:54
about the well the marriage of both functionality and style and that I think
5:00
is going to be the level 10 m gaming mouse from tte Sports now speaking of
5:03
functionality and style audible.com you
5:07
can head over to audible.com Linus where you can get yourself a free audio book I
5:12
actually just recently picked up the Cat in the Hat by Dr Seuss there's a number
5:16
of other Dr Seuss books that are also included and I was inspired to do so
5:20
because I was driving the other day and I was listening to the radio and I heard
5:23
an insurance ad come on and I was sure that it was John C and uh it turns out
5:27
that it was so I was like you know I need more of his soothing British accent
5:32
in my life and so does my one-year-old baby so I picked up this Cat in the Hat
5:36
Thing and actually he's not the only celebrity voice that is reading some of
5:39
Dr Seuss's awesome stories there's Billy Crystal as well as Walter mathau and
5:44
