G.Skill Ripjaws MX780 Laser Gaming Mouse

2016-09-18
I just got done with my g.skill ripjaws km 780 review and I was really impressed with the feature set especially for the price so I'm expecting really good things from this mouse to looks-wise the mouse is kind of sporty but also industrial it matches the keyboard well black panels appear to sit around what looks to be a silver aluminium frame however this is actually plastic on closer inspection but it's pretty tough to tell the difference I like the look but I'm not crazy for it though this is obviously subjective like all high in peripherals these days the MX 780 features RGB lights which can be found under the GCL logo at the back on two little lines inside the silver midriff either side of the mouse wheel and at the front beside the Ripjaws logo the front side lights indicate the mode selection and the lights through the middle show you the current dpi level there's 8 buttons in total on the mouse including the left or right mouse buttons the two buttons featured on both sides of the mouse the middle click button beneath the wheel and an additional button just behind the wheel in the center the mouse is designed to be fully ambidextrous so depending on which hand you're using the side buttons will be easy to reach for your thumb but tough to reach for your pinky finger on the other side making the mouse truly ambidextrous there the removable side panels which can be swapped in and out to include a little thumb rest I'm a fan of the field the little thumb rest give on my so it was cool to see this included for both varieties and lefties when these panels are removed you can also get access to the spaces available for inserting the included four and a half gram weights for those that are incredibly in tune with their mouse adding to the already impressive customization is the adjustable back side that can be raised and lowered to suit different grips users who like to use a palm grip will find this particularly useful the hex screw used to make these adjustments is found in the bottom of the mouse which is actually made from real aluminium and also features five smallish feet for smooth gliding as I mentioned in my km 780 reviewed the g.skill software is serviceable the same suite can be used for both of these products which is always good and it's powerful enough to make any changes that most users want to dpi shift is available and this is usually handy for those that like to shift to a lower dpi for sniping and gaming I actually just use it for precise image edit things like lift off distance and scroll speeds can also be adjusted here to the mouse employs an 8200 dpi of agro laser sensor which is able to track movement at up to 150 IPs and 30g of acceleration and this felt very accurate to me it also worked well on basically any surface as good laser sensors tend to do the buttons on the mouse give a nice satisfactory clear can provide plenty of clicky feedback they're also rated for 20 million clicks - overall the MX 780 is a great Mouse with a strong feature set I like the fact that it's completely ambidextrous and the thumb rest is nice and wide and comfortable the shape and size is definitely suited to either a claw grip or palm grip user and the adjustable back side really helps in this aspect there isn't a wealth of buttons on this Mouse but there's certainly enough for most users with for total side buttons and the additional center button pricing wise the MX 780 is very competitive in Australia I could find it easily for $70 and on Amazon in the USA you can grab it for 55 it's great to see such low Australia taxes for these impressive g.skill products and the pricing in the States is very very competitive at the high end of the gaming peripherals market what do you guys think of this gaming mouse let me know in the comments I'm your host Matt as always and I'll see you guys next time youtubers like me depend on your support to continue improving the quality and content of our videos to support the channel directly consider becoming a patron to also get access to a heap of cool rewards and exclusive giveaways also don't forget you can check prices and buy the products I looked at in this video through the Amazon links in the video description below thank you kindly for supporting me and the hardware on box channel it means a lot to me and I really do appreciate it and in return I'll continue to work as hard as I can to keep producing the content you enjoy
