hey everyone this is Steve from gamers next to start night and today we're looking at geniuses new hila GX gaming mouse you can check out the full review on the website linked below but this video is just to serve as a quick overview and give you a better visual of the product let's cover specs before we get into opinions the the Gila mouse is equipped with 12 total buttons there are two in the traditional Mouse for mouse 5 positions near the thumb grip 2 on a crested Ridge near the left mouse button so it's kind of raised its a little bit elevated and then 2 on the opposite side near the right mouse button in the same manner and then 3 buttons south of the middle mouse button and and then of course left and right and all buttons aside from left Mouse can be mapped to custom macros or bindings as I explained in a previous video if you're interested how to do that it is online on the channel and the mouse uses an Avago excuse me if I'm saying that wrong and a vago supplied a dns 9800 sensor so it is not made in house it is it is supplied externally it is the same sensor used in Logitech g600 Mouse and is rated for 8200 dpi in a step an interval of 200 dpi Avago sensors can be found in pretty much any major manufacturers Mouse including products made by Coolermaster and Logitech so they are tested and you've probably used them without knowing it the sensor itself can tolerate 30 G's of acceleration and operates at 150 IPs placing it as average to upper class when compared against similarly priced mice in the high-end category as this one would be in terms of other hardware found inside of the mouse we see 32 kilobytes of memory and switches in the form of t-mek and those are the the brown switches you see in the video t max which is used for the peripheral buttons and then Imran supplied components for the left and right buttons the buttons are rated for 8 million clicks so the same as the original Logitech G five but still significantly less than Logitech's new G gaming series products which are rated at 20 million clicks and that's really both those numbers are so freaking huge that it's really hard to put it into perspective I've been using a g5 for about four years now I just stopped recently four years at eight million clicks and haven't had a problem so that should give you a you know an anecdotal even outlier non-scientific look at theoretically how long eight million clicks would last but let's get back to the Gila in terms of aesthetics the Gila mouse is obviously meant to look a bit jagged and fierce and in the full article review I refer to the mouse's body several times as refer as resembling a Lamborghini almost for its overly flashy wide but design it just it's really wide and strange toward the rear of the mouse there are LEDs located in the front grille region rear grille and scroll wheel and then one in the rear logo plate all of these are customizable there's its standard 16 million RGB LED lighting you can customize all that in the software and basically make it pulse or be stable or whatever you want and pretty much any color you want so that's pretty neat and as a whole that aesthetic isn't too bad it's interesting despite my my wide but insults but the in terms of what I think of the mouse in terms of actual opinions it's pretty divided between functionality and ergonomics all the buttons are within reach and very easy to configure so I found myself using every button with great regularity when playing MMOs like rift and though they tended to get ignored with other mice so like the G 600 it was it felt really complex and kind of hard to mentally map what the the buttons did in-game so some of those get ignored from time to time but with this mouse it actually works fairly well and a memo is just because of how distanced but reachable they are the added buttons for multiple on-screen hotbars and MMOs is really where the mouse excels it doesn't you don't really gain much an RTS or FPS play and the buttons are positioned in separate geographic locations it's easy to memorize what they do as I said I really would like to see more Mouse companies following geniuses lead with button placement as I think they've done it right with that said though I was really disappointed by the shape of the body for the mouse it's just it's jagged which is kind of cool looking but it's really awkward to hold and the nature the jagged nature of the rear of the mouse makes it difficult to position at least my hand comfortably yours may be different and that's that's problem with reviewing mice where we don't really have an objective way to analyze that but for me and I want to stress this was for me it was uncomfortable to hold I did get used to it but still felt kind of weird particularly the ring and pinky fingers which sort of end up either dragging along the mounting surface or being awkwardly tweaked to fit on the mouse which was very uncomfortable if the right side of the mouse were more rounded I think it'd be a whole lot easier to hold for those of us with wrist problems if you have smaller hands I think you can probably overlook everything I just said because you probably won't have a problem at all because the the mouse really looks like it's made more for people with smaller hands and if you don't think our economics are concerned for you but you you really do like the button functionality of the Gila well definitely look into getting it and with that I'll leave you to check out the full review linked below for more details more opinions if you have any questions please post them in the comments below I will see you all next time peace
