today we'll be doing a quick unboxing of the Razer armadillo 2 now this is a
0:13
mouse cable management system holder
0:17
basically it secures the cord of your mouse so we're going to go ahead and
0:21
open up the packaging here 1 2 3 four
0:24
Razer as always is a master of packaging
0:29
so no matter how expensive or inexpensive the product is it always
0:33
comes in a great retail box so there's like a multi-layered box thing going on
0:37
oh I unpacked it wrong yeah see so that's not how they intended not the way
0:42
it was meant to be unpacked so here we go so put that back in there this is how
0:48
it was meant to be unpacked you're supposed to take the top off so the armadillo 2 is a mouse cord
0:54
holder okay I'm going to go ahead and do this it's a fairly simple
0:58
straightforward device
1:02
basically it's a weighted companion cone
1:06
and uh here I have a mouse here unfortunately not a razor Mouse this is
1:11
just a cheapo mouse that I got with uh
1:14
uh demo unit of something and let's see if we can figure out how this
1:19
works okay so that that moves a little bit that doesn't come with
1:25
instructions I guess they figure you should be smart enough to figure it out
1:29
on your own but uh not everyone necessarily is so why don't we go ahead
1:34
and wrap that around and then we go ahead and run that to wherever it goes
1:40
is that how it works I guess so hold on hold on cuz it looks like
1:45
there's a bit of a oh oh here we go hold on okay okay I think I get it I think I
1:48
get it so I don't get it give me a
1:54
minute I get it now it's um it's so
1:57
simple that it's was hard for me to figure out so basically you push the top
2:01
like this that opens up a gap in the side there okay you take your mouse cord
2:06
you thread it into the Gap and you let go now your mouse cord is secured now
2:11
why would you need this you might ask the reason you might need this is
2:15
because when you are moving a Wired Mouse remember wired mice until you get
2:20
into the very high-end Wireless mice still provide the best performance for
2:25
responsiveness for gaming so well I mean this one's probably an exception but a
2:30
high quality Wired Mouse still provides better performance so the reason is that
2:34
there's a lot less drag on the cord of the mouse if it is secured with a
2:40
comfortable amount of slack whereas let's say you've got it running off the
2:44
end of your desk which I see time and time again people with their mice
2:47
configured like this so you're sitting at your desk like this okay so let's say
2:51
you look down no no I want you to stay not you look down I mean with your
2:55
camera in your FPS game you look down so watch this cord now it's hooked now when
3:01
I go to look back up all of a sudden there's extra
3:05
resistance on the mouse so I can't move precisely so that's what the armadillo 2
3:09
is for now I actually use a mouse cord holder at home I don't remember where I
3:13
got it but it's a it's a weighted one where the top unscrews you put the mouse
3:17
cord into a gap and then you screw the top back on to secure the cord very
3:21
similar idea so it's just got a bit of heft to it so that it's not going to
3:24
move around it has a grippy bottom also so that it's not going to move around
3:29
and it's so simple to use that I can't figure it out thank you for checking out
