it's not often that i come into a video with this little preparation one of our
0:04
writers read a tweet somewhere and insisted
0:08
that we check out the 007
0:12
natural born player i am so certain that they do not have permission to use that
0:17
logo right there
0:28
synergy allows you to share your mouse and keyboard between multiple computers
0:33
at once check it out now at the link in the video description
0:38
natural born player from company
0:44
is why he wants me to check it out so the new writer's name is james but i
0:48
always refer to him as that donkey behind his back so the brand is james
0:53
donkey and that's a donkey bit
0:57
so the double 07 comes with this uh schematic manual thing we'll check that
1:02
out in more depth later it comes with a uh
1:07
okay so there's enough english on this for me to understand that it is indeed a
1:10
warranty card but not enough for me to have any idea what the rest of these
1:15
instructions are where you're supposed to send it
1:18
nothing nothing like that do you get the impression they added
1:22
like this huge thing of cardboard here
1:27
to make it seem like more premium than it is
1:32
the packaging feels a lot cheaper now anyway
1:36
and then this this is the big shtick with the double
1:40
07 mouse it comes with swappable parts
1:43
for the back right left and
1:46
even the bottom apparently well
1:50
maybe we need the instructions so i guess this thing's kind of like the
1:54
ikea of mice and that the instructions aren't particularly descriptive i mean
1:57
they're okay take the thing off and put the thing on got it and in that there is
2:02
some assembly required got it so it actually comes with a variety of
2:08
different options for everything from the base chassis of the mouse to the
2:13
left right and buttock of the mouse so
2:16
let's start then by having a look at the base so you got two different ones this
2:21
guy has plastic slippy pads four of them
2:24
and this guy whoop there we go has three metal ones i
2:29
can't imagine any reason that you would want metal pads on the bottom of your
2:34
mouse and i also can't imagine any reason that you would want a bunch of
2:39
corrosion wow that is grody what happened there
2:44
not gross anyway the pieces snap on
2:48
as though by can i do it can i do the base toss
2:57
gaming mouse trick shots this is the behind the scenes stuff that
3:00
you never see in a dude perfect video yeah
3:06
and then everyone celebrates everyone's celebrating silently come on make some
3:09
noise all right so we've switched to the metal
3:14
base sure whatever let's try the metal base now let's have a look at our other
3:18
options so for the left wing there's like uh this is like hockey we got the
3:22
left wing the right wing and the uh i think they call them defensemen in
3:26
hockey but but the rear the rear okay so three different lengths you've got the
3:30
long rear you got the medium-sized rear and you got the tight rear i'm going to
3:34
go with the tight rear because i think we can all tell that uh that's that's
3:38
that's what i'm into so let's go ahead and throw that on there
3:42
then this is cool so these all go on with
3:45
magnets as well you can pick between
3:49
so let me have a look here
3:52
okay neat so i see how this works so you've got three different sizes of kind
3:57
of like your your thumb your thumb scoop here you see that so we got the baby
4:02
bear we got the mama bear and we got the papa bear so uh i'm actually going to go
4:07
with the mama bear because i like the idea of having a
4:11
sniper button over here even if i don't need like a massive
4:15
thumb rest it should be noted though the papa bear actually also has the sniper
4:19
button in a different location if you prefer to press it here but i find that
4:23
quite a bit more awkward okay our assembly is nearly complete
4:28
we've got the right wing and these ones have the coolest names this one right
4:32
here is the general
4:36
then we've got hunk
4:40
and finally
4:45
you know what they say hold my finger
4:50
oh i got nothing right now wow this is really confusing to
4:55
configure four gear adjustable dpi among six
5:01
hundred one thousand two thousand thirty six hundred eighty two hundred
5:05
that's five then
5:09
making matters worse configuration light
5:13
the quantity of the lights represents six different modes
5:19
is it four five or six i still haven't figured out exactly how
5:23
these buttons work but i've got it at 500 dpi that feels pretty good i have
5:27
one more complaint and that is that this scale doesn't make
5:31
any sense it goes up to 8 200.
5:37
seventy 6500 7500 what seventy six hundred
5:42
what is this
5:46
maybe some gaming will make me feel better and of course the game is shut
5:50
down now yes
5:54
why is it doing first time setup we had this open before
5:57
you know the funny thing is these instructions actually looked okay
6:01
at first glance but now i'm getting to some
6:05
really crappy stuff i mean it tells me to refer to the driver settings but it
6:08
doesn't come with anything in the box can i even download these
6:16
oh this is not a good sign jamesdonkey.com
6:21
doesn't have any english oh wait here we go here we go here we go
6:26
english site oh man
6:31
i mean that's sort of english deduce the fingertips of waltz
6:38
what so we've got two straight product shots
6:43
three then we've got not english then we've
6:46
got that okay you know what that's fine
6:50
the mou-007 here we go
6:53
oh my god when you try and scroll down
6:56
the page it's a slideshow
7:02
why who thought this was a good idea
7:06
omron switches though very nice 20 million click life i'm pretty sure
7:10
they're only talking about these two though download driver and support more
7:15
self-definition function i needed more self-definition in my life so we got the
7:19
software working we got the firmware updated and check this out
7:24
what that worked a second
7:30
okay the contact there is not great okay i'm sort of figuring some things
7:34
out there's more cool stuff in here i think
7:40
so there's a vibration switch
7:43
there's a vibration time and then there's a boot time start
7:48
vibration effect i don't know what that means
7:52
okay we think we figured it out
7:56
in order to get vibration working you have to give up your RGB lighting
8:01
because that's why this one's heavier
8:04
there we go all right that's actually kind of
8:08
uncomfortable but uh you know hey whatever you're into
8:11
you hear that
8:15
if the idea was like um recoil or something then i will tell you
8:20
the experience falls a little flat
8:23
it feels like a happy mouse happy mouse in your hand it's actually
8:27
kind of distracting and annoying wait it it's not working anymore
8:34
there oh i think it managed to vibrate itself
8:37
loose
8:42
wow they're awful okay so we've got the software mostly figured out vibration
8:47
only works with the vibrating bass RGB lighting only works with the RGB
8:51
lighting base and the modes
8:55
so i still can't figure out how these configs work you click on them it takes
8:59
you back to the sign in you go back to here and it's an endless
9:03
loop there's no there's no option to create configs but that's the difference
9:07
between the modes and the dpi button the
9:10
modes are onboard programmable memory for all of this crap
9:14
is at least my understanding i cannot validate that so now
9:19
let's go ahead and try a game
9:22
ed oh good can i borrow you
9:27
this mouse has given me a horrible headache i need you to tell me if it's
9:30
any good oh no go go go go go go ahead
9:35
whoa okay what now now you're into it
9:38
right
9:43
interesting and then like it's not tied into the game that would be cool if it was tied
9:47
into the game because like if the shots were actually going
9:52
instead of just like pressing
9:56
activating yeah now it feels cheap
9:59
this is like a terribly terribly cheap implementation
10:04
for force feedback but like it's kind of fun
10:09
all right thank you okay but ed subjectivity aside let's
10:13
find out if this thing is any good so the first thing we need to do is move
10:18
ten centimeters hey so the dpi we set is correct a thousand
10:23
dpi then we can test to see what its maximum
10:30
max counter and max speed are by basically
10:34
moving it as fast as you can
10:43
oh i got like rug burn on my finger
10:46
it's shiny okay so max speed is four meters per
10:51
second and max counter is 376 points
10:54
with a pulling rate of about 500 hertz
10:58
okay resolution okay speed excellent
11:02
so i think we're ready for the overall conclusion
11:05
at the regular price which is around 50 bucks for the white one
11:09
i think there's better options out there from the likes of logitech you don't get
11:14
all of the sort of modular doodads and vibration motors and stuff like that but
11:19
quite frankly most of it feels pretty gimmicky however if you're
11:23
willing to settle for one of the other color ones at like 25
11:29
in terms of the raw performance of this thing it's not bad if you don't mind a
11:34
mouse that's on the heavier side and that is also a little bit on the larger
11:38
side it's too big for my hands but given that mine are well below average i
11:42
suspect most of you will probably be fine
11:47
synergy is a software download that solves the ultimate first world problem
11:52
of having too many computers and having a desk that's covered in
11:56
keyboards and mice to control them it allows you to share one mouse and
12:01
keyboard between two or more computers
12:04

12:14
features include things like clipboard sharing drag and dropping files between
12:17
the computers the ability to set up hotkeys and more you can even use
