thank you to Squarespace for sending us to CES 2016 this year check out their
0:03
Link in the video description down below we are at steel series and this is the
0:07
Rival 700 it's got a fair amount of cool
0:10
things but we're going to start with the more basic ones and warm up to the exciting things so first off it has a
0:15
pixart 3360 Optical sensor which you can
0:19
swap out if you want right now I think they have a laser option maybe if you're
0:23
into that in the future the idea is if something comes out that you want you
0:27
would be able to swap it out and this one actually is swappable in a very cool
0:30
way it's just four screws you drop the sensor plate out it's a whole plate
0:34
assembly thing and then four screws back in and you're done it's no like weird
0:38
sketchy taking the thing apart doing crazy things like this will actually probably work which is cool it also has
0:43
a swappable back plate if you're into just changing things all the time so I'm
0:46
assuming like if you go to packs you might be able to get a packs back plate or if you really like a certain csgo
0:51
team you might be able to get their logo on a back plate or something we'll see
0:54
where they go with this there's also RGB lighting so like every every most that's
1:00
coming out right now you can change a whole bunch of different colors and it
1:03
has a 3ft rubber cable and a 6-ft braided cable and all that kind of stuff
1:06
is great but the really interesting part is game sense so the game sense for this
1:10
mouse will work in csgo and Dota 2 it can follow your health your ammo and
1:16
your current head shots and there's going to be more coming in that regard
1:20
we're hoping for a few like edel suggested maybe they should be able to
1:24
track your stat track on your weapons I was suggesting that at the end of the
1:27
round they could total how many head shots you got or something like like that so we'll see where it goes with
1:31
that the interesting one though you can have the lights react to that there's an
1:35
OLED screen on the left front hand side right now we have like Nicholas Cage's
1:39
head spinning but you can have some other stuff there these things require
1:43
you looking down at your mouse so personally I don't actually find them
1:47
that interesting maybe you're into that I don't know not my thing what is
1:51
interesting however is the haptic feedback engine which at first probably
1:55
sounds horrible cuz you're like why would I want my mouse to shake all around it's going to screw up with my
1:59
aiming I'm not going to want this thing I'm going to throw in the garbage pick another one up and then I'll be fine but
2:03
they changed some things it's it's a fairly weak motor which is exactly what
2:07
you want you don't want a strong motor in this situation and it's vibrating
2:10
vertically instead of left and right so it shouldn't actually affect your aim at all and in the usage of myself and edzel
2:15
we didn't notice it affecting our aim either which is great like I said it can
2:18
react to health ammo or head shot so right now if you're under 50% HP it
2:22
starts a heartbeat vibration if you headshot someone it vibrates once and
2:27
when you get low ammo I think it vibr rates once but you can configure all of
2:32
these things you can change the amounts that it reacts on you can add different
2:35
layers per each one so personally I'm not that interested in it reacting on my
2:39
health because I'll probably know about where I am and I'm not interested at all
2:44
in it reacting on head shots I just want it to tell me about my ammo count that
2:47
sounds amazing I personally want it to vibrate once when I get to like around
2:51
50% of my clip and then maybe when I
2:54
have like five bullets left or something like that it vibrates twice or something I don't know that's what I'm interested
2:58
in so you can turn the other ones off and just have it tell you what you need
3:02
so do you care that much about the ammo left in your magazine I personally want
3:05
to know if I only have like two bullets left in my mag because I don't want to
3:09
jump into a firefight with that little I'm not as good as Ed probably not going to headshot the dude I need more ammo
3:14
that's fine I can deal with that let me know in the comments down below what you think are you okay with your mouse
3:17
shaking honestly I wasn't then I tried it now I am so I don't know it's going
3:22
to be interesting if you need a website because you made a mouse that has a
3:26
swappable sensor and you need to sell the sensors somehow or you think that's
3:29
boring and you have some other idea for a website I'm really running out of ideas guys I don't know what to say from
3:34
now on you can use Squarespace they have tons of templates they have a Commerce
3:37
module if you need to sell things they have a cover page thing if you run out of terrible ideas so don't have a job
3:42
anymore and you know need to put a resume online you can use the cover page
3:45
module because it's designed for one very good-look page if you sign up for a
3:49
year you get a free domain they have 24/7 Live support just in case you're a
3:52
newb and need help they also have 24/7 email support same idea it's not that
3:57
complicated Squarespace build a I need to go sleep I'll see you guys
4:02
next time
