beautiful so here in the Logitech Suite they assured me that what they're
0:08
showing off is really really exciting so
0:12
I'm going to run you guys through it really quick this is the box it comes
0:15
with but I'm not going to show it to you too uh too clearly here because I want
0:18
it to remain a surprise and I know some of you are going to go ahead and Rewind the video to see what that box said
0:23
before it started moving around that is a stupid strategy you just need to keep
0:27
watching the video stick with me here we're going to through it so this is the
0:32
product that they have on display as their main showcase piece it is called
0:37
the g502 Proteus Spectrum yes my friends
0:42
g502 Proteus spectrum they have changed exactly one word about this product so
0:47
it still has the same pwm 3366 sensor
0:50
widely regarded as about as good as it damn well gets anywhere from 200 to
0:55
12,000 DPI without any tracking issues
0:58
anywhere along that range it's got 11 programmable buttons it's got their same
1:02
hypers scrolling wheel that I loved so much on my old G9 except for the fact
1:06
that I had to flip the mouse open over in order to press the button and then
1:10
turn it back over it's like yes I am going into Excel
1:14
mode turn it over well here that SC is
1:17
still right behind the scroll wheel so it's all good you've got five different
1:20
DPI presets or less or less they corrected me I was like so it's got five
1:24
DPI preset modes they're like up to five like okay okay so I don't have to do
1:28
that I totally get it that's fine it still got a braided cable it still got
1:32
that same rubberized grip on the right hand side and it still got the same
1:36
highquality switches it's still got slippy pads on the bottom it's still got
1:41
removable weights what the hell did they change
1:45
lonus how is this a showcase piece at
1:48
CES are you kidding me okay so they did
1:53
not change I know I said I'd say the thing they changed but I didn't uh they
1:57
did not change the price so the price is still the same so finally the one thing
2:02
they changed they added RGB lighting so we remove the word core we add the word
2:07
spectrum we remove the blue LED or we don't remove it but we add a red one and
2:12
a green one so now it's got all the same effects that you can control through the
2:16
Logitech gaming software whether it's you know you want it to cycle through
2:20
the different colors in time with your uh Spectrum headset and your uh actually
2:26
you guys don't even use Spectrum in the uh in the names of the keyboards do you
2:30
use spark this one Spectrum oh for crying
2:33
out loud well there you go was like wait a second so it can cycle through colors
2:37
it can breathe it can just set to a static color that matches the inside of
2:41
your case although case RGB lighting has really come a long way in the last little bit and it's the same mouse that
2:46
you already know and love and many of you do given that they're saying it's
2:49
what is it the bestselling Mouse right now on the market except now with RGB at the same
2:55
price so you just get a little bit more for your money two LEDs and a whole four
3:01
additional characters written on the box so don't miss any of our CES 2016
