what's up guys welcome back to harbor unboxed today I've got unhand a gaming mouse from brand I haven't had a chance to look at before in the channel epicure it's the division of the memory company geo they called the gecko toy and it's a cool-looking little ambidextrous mouse on hand I've got the white model as you can see but there's also an electric blue colorway available to looking at the shape and size of the mouse it's definitely more suited to claw and fingertip grip gamers with a fairly low profile body narrow width in a smallish rear end on either side there's a rubberized grip for your thumb and pinky no matter which hand used and these sides are also indented creating a bit of a rest this is something I miss when I use my such as the marnix caster and my thumb is left dragging on the mousepad you'll also find two back and forward style buttons on either side of the mouse and of course the ones on the same side as your thumb or a lot easier to reach in total there's 11 programmable buttons on the mouse including the standard left and right the mouse wheel to buttons behind the mouse wheel the back and forward buttons on either side is mentioned and then there's two more interesting buttons that sit on the side at the very front for me these sat out of reach on the thumb side but my ring finger SAT right near it on the opposite side this is a finger I've never had a button for before so it was interesting and took some getting used to but I'm sure gamers could find some pretty handy uses for it the wheel itself feels great it's made of plastic coated and rubber and lights up on either side this actually felt quite similar to the wheel and my my next caster when scrolling but it actually has less wobble it gives a little thought as tactile feedback as you scroll and was overall very satisfying to use and looks great to the left and right buttons are fine to use very clicky but they also have a bit of extra travel before activating the left and right also made a slightly different clicking noise and felt a little different to each other I prefer the responsiveness and steady feeling left and rights on the caster the two buttons behind the mouse wheel control the DPI settings by default and there's a little indicator that shows you what level you're at 2 which is cool I think there's a position well and it was easy to tell which was which without looking behind all this is a cool illuminated Epicure logo as well as a smaller kokoda logo down the bottom flipping the mouse over the end I Peter's a cool metal insert in the center that lets us know it's a gaming laser sensor speaking of which the sensor utilizes the pic site a DNS 9800 capable of up to 80 200 DPI this felt smooth and accurate and also works in a variety of surfaces there's some nice big Teflon pads at the underside to and combined with the mouse is light weight of a hundred grams it's very easy to push around the mouse pad now speaking of surfaces I've also got epicures griffis mouse pad on hand to go on with the mouse the top layer on the griffis is a sort of shiny silky material enough it's slightly less friction than the steelseries desk mat that I was used to there's nothing subtle about the design either there's a huge Griffin claw clutching the bright orange epic your logo splashed in the middle so if you like the design then you'll like the mousepad I do prefer stitched edge mass pads for durability is there's nothing worse than the edge peeling away but it does seem like a good quality pad there's no signs of frayed edges at this stage lastly I'm not really sure about the finish on the kokoda it's pure white and very glossy it looks great when it's brand new but if this starts to wear away over time it'll probably look like rubbish it's hard to say at this stage had durable it is hopefully very the software looks exactly like one you get from a memory company that's moved in peripherals to the design is in line with what you see on the mouse pad and the mouse itself and it's a pretty powerful suite you can adjust things like the DPI levels liftoff distance angle snapping macros and you can also program the function of each button interestingly I couldn't find anywhere to buy the epic you gift coder in the USA and it was unavailable on both amazon and newegg in australia you can pick it up for ninety five dollars from my 492 dollars on ebay through ple this puts it in the same class as my such as monix caster and the logitech g502 proteus spectrum RGB which is actually available for a little less at eighty-nine dollars of course your choice will come down to personal preference and I always recommend finding somewhere that you can try it out before you buy I'm not sure the kokoda can quite compete with the g502 in my opinion and call me strange but I actually prefer the g4 or two out of all of them what do you guys think have you used the kokoda let me know in the comments i'm your host Matt and i'll see you guys next time you
