let's go welcome to my unboxing and first look
0:05
at the rocket Lua which is their sort of
0:08
entrylevel gaming mouse and I would like to invite a special guest to come and
0:13
show us his matching shirt which is also blue and black check out my swag you
0:18
know what else is enter level wow he just used my own burn on me
0:25
and it was you the guy with it was effective nonetheless so uh there you go
0:30
goes to show you the quality of my of my burn techniques which is uh guys the
0:34
only burn that there is absolutely no comeback for is just to add your face to
0:40
anything so um yeah it works every time
0:43
always successful and uh and and no one
0:47
no one can counter it so so the Russian turn turn that around on me there anyway
0:51
what do we have to say about this guy it's an optical Mouse so it goes anywhere from 250 to 2,000 DPI with
0:56
seven intermediary steps and be dextrous vshape means it's right and left-handed
1:01
compatible however I don't know of too many even left-handed folks who use
1:06
their Mouse with their left hand for gaming I think the vast majority of them
1:10
I mean especially back in the days when the only really the only real gaming
1:15
mice were uh were logitech's mice and
1:18
they were all right-handed shaped I mean
1:21
that that was one I think everyone got used to well I guess we better just do
1:25
it this way I mean that in the WD keys with all the other functionality you
1:28
can't really use the arrow keys with your right hand and I mean you could use
1:31
the the number pad but then you're awfully it's an awfully wide anyway um I
1:36
think the left-handed Gamers know why they aren't generally using their left
1:40
hands uh quick installation guide is included so there you go you can use
1:44
your product serial number to register it also comes with some sweet stickers
1:49
so like uh there's like an eye rocket hey that's actually kind of
1:54
clever all right Arctic blue LED lighting no sweat side grips
2:00
an advanced driver for customized gaming you know what because rocket hasn't had
2:05
much of a presence in North America my
2:08
incorrect assumption was that like many sort of gaming peripheral companies that
2:14
sort of release a product and the product itself looks great but then the
2:18
software is just a terrible outsourced mess I assumed that their software
2:22
wasn't going to be good it was very complete when I checked it out on the uh
2:27
what was it the cone xtd as well as
2:31
their iscu keyboard so it's got tons of features and actually works unlike a lot
2:37
of the software that's out there so if I can get my camera to come in a little
2:40
bit closer I want to show you guys the mouse up close as well as the shape and
2:44
size a little bit so there's not a ton of buttons personally I'd like to see a
2:48
forward and a back button on any Mouse these days because it makes such a big
2:52
difference in the day-to-day use of your computer when you're you know browsing
2:55
the internet or whatever else but the finish on it is quite nice so there are
2:59
no sweat side grip is not quite like a a rubberized coating but it's more of a
3:03
textured plastic that will be a little bit more resistant to that slick oily
3:08
feeling and also allows you to easily pick up the mouse without accidentally
3:12
actuating any other buttons mind you the fact that there aren't any buttons on the side makes that a bit of a moot
3:17
point anyway the only real buttons you have are left right click middle click
3:21
as well as your DPI adjust button and the size of the mouse is quite small you
3:25
can see that even compared to me like I would actually recommend this um
3:29
particularly if you wanted someone whose hand is going to fit perfectly for
3:33
someone like a younger kid you know maybe your 11-year-old nephew or
3:38
whatever else where you still got kind of smaller narrower hands um or for the
3:42
girl gamers out there who have narrower hands and more slender hands because for
3:46
me I'm kind of spilling over it on the sides and I do have quite small hands
3:51
and I can't quite Palm grip this one so you can see if I try to Palm grip it my
3:55
fingers are going to go right over the edges so it would be more of a claw type
4:00
of play for me um and then again I have I have quite small hands on the bottom
4:05
you find your uh your sliding feet which are
4:09
quite thick and feel very robust so they haven't skimped there and then there's
4:13
the optical 2000 DPI laser right there
4:17
so that'll pretty much do it for this unboxing thank you for checking it out
4:22
and don't forget to subscribe to lus Tech tips from unboxings reviews and other computer videos and I did miss one
4:26
thing this guy right here glows blue and it can pulsate and stuff which which is
4:30
kind of neat very cool lighting effect on most of the rocket gear that we've
4:33
checked out before so I realized now I did say that
4:37
I was going to show you guys what the pulsating blue LED lighting looks like
4:41
they do such a good job of their lighting effects like you don't really see any hot spots or like zones where
4:45
the lighting is uh is more Rich than others so it looks quite nice and it's
4:50
got like that nice uh breathing effect to it
