hey everyone i'm steve from gamers nexus dotnet we were at GDC 2016 I logitech's sweet to talk about a new mouse call it's a wired wireless mouse the g900 chaos spectrum before we get into that all this coverage is brought to you by raw Furies new gonner game chris i'm joined by chris paid again you've probably seen them before and we're talking about the mass today so what's the top level here so this is our new wired wireless gaming mouse we wanted to make a wireless mouse that was professional grade so that pro gamers could be comfortable using it in in tournaments very cool and part of that is the sort of weekender tournaments so with a wireless mouse you've got battery concerns how are you addressing that so really people don't people have three concerns when it comes to wireless they're worried about latency they're worried about battery life and they're worried about weight right so we've got best-in-class wireless performance and we actually outperform wired in many occasions we have great battery performance you can go like it's at a tournament weekend we have 24 hours of run to die constant movement battery life out of the box and you can get up to 32 hours if you turn the lights off and the last thing is the weight we've made a lot of effort to remove weight out of the product we got down to a hundred and seven grams which is significantly lighter than other wireless gaming mice and as light as a lot of wired gaming mice with wireless one of the things that we constantly see sort of people talking about what Mouse they should buy it's always I don't want to use wireless for gaming because it dies or because the polling is not fast enough or whatever with latency specifically what what sort of your latency expectation what are you doing to you know reduce that concern so we've been making wireless mice for a little over 20 years now and we've been making wireless gaming mouse for a long time as well we have a lot of expertise inside the company that allows us to create very high-performance gaming mice in Wireless we actually not only do we outperform other wireless gaming mais oui like I said in terms of cursor motion sensor sensor reactivity and in terms of button response time we outperform a lot of wired gaming mice as well with testing so a radio frequency test or wireless testing this is something we talked about pre interview that was pretty cool and I think people would be interested in hearing what do you do on the test inside to sort of bombard this thing with different signals and create impedance and what have you sure we've got a full RF anechoic chamber in our laboratory in Switzerland it's about six hundred thousand dollars worth of equipment in total we use that to basically put the mouse in a totally RF neutral environment and we spin it around on a giant turntable thing and we have an antenna that shoots a bunch of RF signals at it so 2.4 land bluetooth microwave whatever you want to whatever you want to throw it and we've cranked it up to the highest level possible we have the the receiver put the receiver about you know almost two meters away from it and we get perfect performance the entire time so to you've tested two meters away from it what about the sort of line of sight straight line testing you know what's uh what should a user expect reasonably in their house and what's the long range that you've tested so we've gotten it straight line no obstacles up to 120 meters which is not where you should be but even I mean maybe if you're using a Jumbotron or something but but probably You chef computer computer next to you and use a longer video cable but we put 10 meters in the documentation it's it's it's it's more than strong enough for any reasonable kind of setup very cool what about price on this we're looking at 149 so one 149 this is the RGB it's got RGB lights and sort of interestingly we were talking about how if you disable the RGB lights you get about what seven hours so out of the box like I said we'll do 24 hours run to die with the lights off it goes up to about 32 so a little bit more than eight hours more and then one of the cooler things that I saw with the software is the battery life indicator calculator so what does that do so we have a new tool in the software called battery assistant what that does is it allows you to look at what the settings that you've got in the mounts are actually doing in terms of power consumption and lets you make the choices that are that are appropriate for for what you want to get out of it very cool and I guess a couple final features here closing out so the buttons are magnetic right they can come off or plates yeah so we've got we've got removable buttons on both the left and right side so you can remove the buttons on the side and turn it into a truly left or right-handed mouse or you can put four buttons on either side or you can put four buttons on it or no buttons on it at your preference so you can have it up to 11 buttons at the same time these are held on by magnets in there they're pretty durable they stay on pretty well additionally we've developed a new kind of click system for the left and right buttons we in we in the G 302 in the g 303 we would put together our metal spring button tensioning system with the g900 we've actually gone a step further than that we have removed the flexing of plastic out of the equation entirely and what we're doing now is you're rotating around a metal metal pivot bar which takes all of the extra force required to deform that plastic out of the click equation so all you're doing is moving the microswitch itself and then as the product comes off the line in the factory we individually test every single mouse to make sure that those two buttons are within tolerance to each other so everything has as close to a perfect click as you can get so that is the logitech g930 and wireless mouse as the case may be one hundred fifty dollars will of course post reviews and other materials as as possible here link in the description below for more information thank you for watching and we'll see you all next time
