hey guys and welcome back to another episode of unboxing boxes as you probably noticed a usual host Steve has is not around at the moment he has delegated this unboxing boxes episode over to me and well it probably couldn't have gone any worse to be honest day I feel part of this episode earlier and I took a look at some of the products that you've seen in front of me today so I took them out of their mailboxes and everything that you've normally seen on boxing boxes but I went to check the footage a bit later and yeah something went wrong with the camera and unfortunately most of that footage was unusable so I thought you know I'm going to have to start again I'll do the episode again we'll take a look at some of these products unfortunately some of them have already taken out of the box and how to look at as you can probably see in front of me and there's some things over on the side that I want to take a look at as well we're still going to go some through some cool stuff there's still some awesome products here that I want to show you guys and well I guess it's just on with the show so as you've probably already noticed I'm wearing a HyperX t-shirt and a number of these products seeing in front of me are from HyperX that's because HyperX sent me a big box filled with goodies the main thing that they sent over was their new pulsefire FPS mouse which we've got here and also out of the box just over here so the one thing that HyperX has done with the pulse fire mouse is that they've completed their series of gaming peripherals this is you know high perks has been known for some of their memory products and some of their headsets like the cloud revolver in the past but they really wanted to branch out into some more serious gaming peripherals so they launched the pulsefire FPS mouse as the thing that would complete the series we've also got on the other products before we take a look to deep into the pulse fire we've got a look at some of their their other products that they've got as part of their peripheral range some of the things they've got here is the alloy FPS keyboard this is their only gaming keyboard that they've got in the market at the moment it is a mechanical gaming keyboard as you can tell by the box on the front uses Cherry MX blue key switches it's a pretty basic keyboard as far as they go this retails for I believe 99 US dollars or around 130 Australian dollars if I'm remembering correctly it's pretty basic so there's no wrist rest include include things like media keys that are mapped to some of the functions at the top there but the idea of this keyboards it's bringing you a basic mechanical keyboard experience with the cherry MX blue inside and that's all you'd really need for some people who don't want features like macro keys you don't necessarily need a wrist rest who don't want RGB backlighting functionality that's all provided for a lot less money in the alloy fps keyboard I'm not going to unbox this because we've got a 50 things to get through but that is one of the interesting products from that HyperX managed to send out for me today they also sent over one of my favorite products that they make the cloud revolver headset so you might have seen I reviewed the HyperX cloud revolver s a couple of months ago that's the version that comes with Dolby 7.1 surround sound simulation support I thought the headset was pretty comfortable and provided good sound quality this is basically a cheaper version of that headset retails for 120 US dollars and the idea is this head says that you don't get the 7.1 surround sound support but you still get the same comfort and sound quality as the revolver s this is obviously an older product than the revolver s and to be honest I've used the cloud revolvers before and I think that they're extremely comfortable in produce great sound quality for they're around 120 US dollar price and every 110 dollars but I think for that price you get a quite a good deal when it comes to a gaming headset so yeah it currently complain about the curve all if you're not going to take all too much into that another thing they sent over HyperX fury s this is their gigantic mousepad the largest version they're sent over to me which is 900 by 420 millimeters it's got a nice feel to it just filling in the box yes you obviously put this underneath your after your big HyperX panel is you put this underneath your alloy keyboard your pulse fire mouse and I yeah get a nice experience there so you can obviously apply these as well but the main reason why HyperX sent me over all this cool gear clean this t-shirt is to show off the pulse fire mouse this is their new peripheral you'll find newer than some of these other things I've just been showing off and the main thing they're trying to achieve with the pulse bio mouse is this mouse costs just 50 US dollars so it's a bit cheaper than some of the premium RGB mice like the Corsair glaze that I reviewed a bit earlier on this channel um yeah so 50 US dollars 80 Australian dollars I just reading some of the stuff on the box it comes with a four preset dpi things goes all the way from 400 to 300 3200 dpi I typically gaming through you know the 2000 dpi range so that's perfectly fine for me so it picks up three three ten sensor insights got on run switches and a lightweight 95 gram weight so obviously when I splashed up the recording in this video great earlier I did take out the pulse fire mouse out of the box I'm actually really impressed with what they've sort of provided here in terms of the game mousie I first thought that it might have been a symmetrical Mouse that could be used for people in the left or right-handed but it is slightly curved to people who want to use this right-handed it feels really nice in your hands it's nice and lightweight I prefer more of a mice and sort of the mouse or Ian sort of the 120 gram range so the 95 grams provided here is a bit too light for me I still think that things like the rubber grips on the left and right side make it really easy to hold this device you've got a nice sort of soft finish on the top of the mouse a single piece of plastic caters that whole area there you've got the DPI sensor in the middle there you've got forward and back buttons on the left hand side and a lightly not scroll wheel it's a pretty decent entry as far as gaming mice are concerned again for $50 the one thing I was really impressed with probably the most is just the ergonomics of the mouse I normally game using a palm grip so when I'm holding this mess of my hands it feels really nice it glides across this pretty shitty sort of surface here really nicely so yes it's nice and smooth on the bottom and everything yeah pretty happy with what HyperX is provided for such a low price 50 US dollars I think that's perfectly fine price to pay for the mouse and if you don't need features like a 16,000 dpi sensor or RGB LED lighting or modularity or anything like that I think you pretty much Chicago wrong with something like the pulse 5 here enjoying palm gripping art it's really comfortable I'm really liking what HyperX has done they're just dealing with more reviews on the phone got more stuff coming in the post for you guys so yeah interesting stuff there and always nice to get phone calls in the middle of filming anyway the next thing that I wanted to take a look at as I was sort of getting into is the razor Lance head so I was primarily supposed to I least I was expecting to see the lads head tournament edition which is the wired version of this mouse with lower latency some newer of the products obviously you know some people don't want to spend the extra money on the whilst version or they don't want to do with the latency that the wireless version introduces but obviously razor's decides to be the wireless version instead so I'm going to follow them up about that but we will take a look at the lads head wireless Edition because it's a pretty premium Mouse as far as I understand it ass customer nice fun packaging in here so here is the landside itself it's got sort of a metallized finish on the top obviously know why because this is the wireless version and inside the rest of the box we sort of take out the rest of the stuff well here's the dongle the 2.4 gigahertz proprietary connection dongle sorry tiny cup I could barely see that right there it also comes with this little dock thing so you plug in the USB dongle into the dock like so then you get out this USB cables included here you plug into there you can sort of situate that nearest to the mouse for the sort of lowest latency gaming applications it's kind of nice to have a wireless mouse sometimes time I typically use just a wired mouse to my you know day-to-day usage the PC gaming stuff like that but you know if you need to take the mouse around or you want to use it you know the areas having the wise functionality it's quite nice welcome to the cult of razer as always let's take a look at the mouse itself so 16,000 DPI sensor in this mouse with RGB lighting you can sort of see some of the wirings owns like on the scroll wheel there in terms of its ergonomics now yeah just using it now it's got this weird sort of angle in on this sort of right hand side here obviously they're using these rubberized texture areas that are quite nice but there's sort of a bump here that for me as a palm grip user it just for my for my pinkie and ring fingers here it's not not super comfortable on that edge I think I need to use sort of more of a looser grip or something like that rather than with the HyperX pulsefire sort of grips out and it sort of feels really nice using my palm grip and it just molds my hands really nicely but on the on the on the lancehead yeah it's just slightly more weird shape and not as comfortable it's this area in here in particular isn't as comfortable as I was probably hoping for but we are getting here you've got this sort of vents here on the side here is probably RGB lighting there as well a nice and clicky scroll wheel here you've got some extra buttons on the face of the mouse there as well as your usual buttons there nice quickie response it's quite light for a sort of a wireless mouse you're not having to add too much into the into the product from being Wireless just turn on have a look so you can see there's some RGB zones on the edges here and here we'll get some b-roll this I guess got the Razer logo here as well that's RGB and yeah like I said but not not as comfortable as I've liked for the grip that I personally use but I think if you are doing more of the sort of core grip like this you get a really good experience out of lads head so I have to chase them up about getting the wide version of this which is actually what I want to review but for now you know not too bad as far as arrays of products go we've also got another Razer product right next to us as well and this is something that if you want to get checkout a review of these guys which is the man or wore 7.1 Wired edition so this is the newer of the two ones they sell out they're the correct product for this one I believe in detention for about a month now you'll see a review on tech spots this and not necessarily on hardware and box bit busy with a few other reviews but yeah so let's talk about the the Man O'War 7.1 so I kindly put this back in the box so we can do a nice little unboxing for you guys on the show as you can sort of see you know inside the inside the box here you're more cult of razer stuff and this is the headset itself so this is the the start of the show and you can see it's a very large headset use massive ear cups on either side with a lot of foam there there's not enough foam in my opinion along the top edge here so when you sort of wear it like this I mean obviously these things are massive and look like a bit ridiculous with something so big but it's just not as comfortable to say the cloud revolvers that we've got over here I find these are much more comfortable headset to wear than the manor wars that said there are some benefits in this headset the sound quality is really good this is a hundred and twenty US dollar headset so are you getting very good sound quality out of it I was pretty impressed with it then you can tune it all up in the Razer synapse utility as well to how exactly you'd like your headset to sound I was also really impressed with this so this is the USB dongle that provides the 7.1 surround sound experience so normally the sense that just connects to a PC using a 3.5 milkie RS connector so that's a standard one with an inline microphone but if you use the USB connector you will get a virtual 7.1 surround sound so the main issue I have with 7.1 surround side headsets is that it normally takes just a stereo feed you click a little button on on the headsets audio cable or something and the 7.1 surround sound mode is enabled and then it tries to you know take from the stereo sound and expand it to you know virtual 7.1 surround so you can sometimes hear what's behind you and around to the sides or whatever but with the razer device what they've done instead is that they've mapped this to your computer as a standard 7.1 audio device so what this means is that in games that require they can output 7.1 audio or 5.1 audio or whatever that is great surround sound and Descent positional audio that rose has been able to achieve in their utilities is pretty good in my opinion but when you switch over to using a stereo source you don't have to turn off the surround sound in fact you can turn off the surround sound mode so what you get is that stereo audio is played just like stereo audio left and right channels it sounds great if you listen to music or something like that and when 7.1 surround sound is implemented you know 7.1 surround sound is just automatically achieved whereas with a headset like b kotov / s the surround sound version of this set you have to click a button to turn off the surround so mode when you want to listen to music because it tries to expand the music to a 7.1 surround sound environment and I think not really what you want to listen to music but the with the man-of-war it's all automatically done I think that is a really good feature of this headset one thing I have been really no unfortunately for Razer is that a lot of people be having some build quality issues it isn't made from the best quality plastic around the edges or anything and there's a very small plastic sort of segments of the top and along there they can break and I've heard some reviews from people who have purchased this headset and it's broken a few months into the UC I don't think that's really acceptable for headset so it's a bit disappointing to see the build quality and comfort isn't as good as I'd like but police Razer has been delivering on sound quality with the man Awards and of course this did come originally from a wireless version of this headset which is a bit more expensive I think it's one hundred and fifty dollars from memory for the wireless version of the manor wars but not too bad as far as headsets go I wish it was a bit more sturdy but the sound quality is very good also show you one other product which is sitting under these two that I've also been taking a look at over the past couple of weeks so this is what's something I really want to cover a bit earlier than now but just been too busy and again they'll be review of this on text but if you're interested but not on hardware box this is the Logitech G 413 carbon so this is pretty much the cheapest mechanical gaming keyboard that you can get at the moment at least from a name brand that is this is an 80 US dollar product so on 90 US dollars I mean very cheap for 90 US dollars the hour over here as I mentioned that's 100 US dollar keyboard very similar feature set to this g4 13 carbon block CD carbon is a bit cheaper the one thing it does provide obviously you see on the back here where G key switches not a huge fan of those but we'll take a look inside the box because again I've packaged this one up for you guys so that we can take a look here is the G 413 carbon so one thing you'll notice is similar to the our over there that there is no wrist rest included with this keyboard is our budget keyboard so you're not going to get a whole ton of features there's no dedicated media keys either those are mapped to some of the F keys over here there's no macro keys you can use the F keys as macro keys but you will have to remap those in logitech's utility again there no wrist rest note RGB backlighting either this does just use red backlighting so some people you know that's not going to be a problem at all but if you want to get RGB a backlight users have to spend a bit more money there are some things I really like about the design the metal backing sort of brush our minyan that they use along here looks really nice I think the general design of the keyboard is pretty good I did have a few build issues and sort of finished issues with the key caps along here a few sharp edges along there that probably could have been polished off but I think the general texture to all these key caps feels really good and the general economics of using this keyboard even without the wrist rest I think is pretty decent the Roma GT switches though obviously are would you take users roma juice which is across their entire product line so one of the benefits is that even though this keyboard cost 90 US dollars you still gain the same key switches as Logitech's high-end keyboards that cost more you know 150 US dollar or 250 Australian dollar price points so the Roma G key switches though I think they're pretty mushy as far as keys go they don't have too much of a clique to them I know they're trying to give you that tactile quickie response but I'm not feeling it too much on the G 413 keyboard and in general with the Roma juice which is by online yeah it's definitely still an upgrade from people who you know buying rubber dome keyboards the el cheapo gaming keyboards I want to upgrade to something there's more premium and gives you that mechanical feel this will provide you a certain extensive mechanical fuel obviously an entry level experience in my opinion yeah but yeah just a bit too much you can bend something like the the competitive chair makes balloons yeah and the hyper in a hyper excited that we've given much nicer tactile response than the room of G's there are some people out there who I think like these sort of keys they're pretty quiet as far as mechanical keys go that is an advantage of some people that don't want it to be too loud but for me who do I do a lot of typing I use cherry MX Reds for typing on it quite like that experience for typing and gaming romo G's not quite what I'm after personally but I think that for $90 for a name-brand mechanical keyboard yeah you can't go wrong it's pretty nice keyboard for that amount of money and for people who are just trying to look at getting into the mechanical keyboard markets definitely a decent option a couple of other products I wanted to talk about as well before we finish things up on this episode of unboxing boxes with Prague's that aren't actually in boxes at all it's the LG G 6 so you might have seen a previous episode of unboxing boxes and also my review of the galaxy s 8 that that phone is pretty fragile and Steve's Galaxy s8 book so obviously that's no good and one thing I was really hoping with the galaxy with the LG G 6 was that this one would provide very similar hardware and experience to the galaxy s 8 but without some of the fragility concerns and it's certainly a less fragile phone there's no curved display in the front there's much more metal around the edges it's still glass on the backwards to a reasonably solid device in that regard and one thing I did notice is that whoever used this device before it was sent to me I did drop it a few times there's some dings around the edges and the stuff that sort of indicated was dropped on something pretty hard but it didn't break the screen is in perfect condition the backs in perfect condition as well it's obviously it's a lot more sturdy and stable than the galaxy si which will slip out of your hands and shudder in an instant so from that respect it's certainly an improvement of the s8 there are some issues I have with it firstly it's using old generation Hardware Snapdragon 820 1 SOC I can't quite sort of match some of the top-tier SOC SoC today like the Exynos 88-90 5 and the Snapdragon 835 it's a fairway behind those two processes so you're not getting latest generation hardware the g6 a bit disappointed two people who know really want the highest quality hardware in their phones you're not getting on here the rear camera is pretty good like don't get me wrong they're decent quality they don't they're not quite as good as the Galaxy s8 of the pics of Excel but they just they remove some features from the g5 that I finds desire like they removed laser autofocus for example they're removed optical image stabilization from the wide-angle sensor they also reduce the resolution of the main camera I do like the combination of both the wide angle and the standard angle camera on the rear of this device I'm using those wide-angle camera can be pretty decent most feel like they probably shouldn't have incurred too much with what they produce last year with the g5 and the camera if they were going to keep a very similar camera layout here one of the benefits increased battery life the modular system that was sort of a bit crap in the g5 is completely gone with the LG G 6 so that means do better battery life it is the sealed battery LG has been known to have replaceable batteries on pretty much all of their g-series phones up until g6 so for people who want that removable battery you're not getting it with the g6 - the battery life is a lot better probably not talk to you like a pixel Excel or something or the Galaxy s8 but still reasonably good and the display you know it still occupies most of the front panel it's a two to one aspect ratio 1440p class LCD it's a pretty decent LCD in terms of that and and I think the g6 is a it's a good device it's good people are going to buy it's only $550 so it's a bit cheaper than some of the other top-tier phones provide some decent hardware I just don't think that it will compete as strongly with the Galaxy S Avis and other phones of this year I was probably expecting it to be just a lil bit better a little bit more competitive with Samsung's current product so that's my current opinion on the g6 you can actually read my full review on techspot calm right now but we're not going to cover that on hardware box just due to some time reasons let me just go get the final products that I want to cover on Hardware unboxed for this unboxing boxes episode and your product disappeared so this is the final product that I want to cover on this episode of unboxing boxes what we've got here actually was sent to view sorted commodities this is just one of them this is the let me just take a look at the product number because they're always terrible xg2 seven zero three GS so display manufacturers we need to find out some new awesome way to name their products because these part numbers are so confusing these are very cool monitor nonetheless from viewsonic and really excited to be working with them on hardware box purse and monitor reviews in the next couple of weeks so what the XG whatever it was provides this is a 27-inch 1440p gaming monitor and the main feature of this is its 165 Hertz refresh rate with g-sync so it's a top tier gamma motor it cost seven hundred US dollars from Newegg ad to double check that is $700 $900 reduced in Australia so it's a pretty expensive monitor but really it provides pretty much everything you'd want from a gaming monitor that's not something that's all Collider or something like that because it's 1440p it's high refresh rate has adaptive sync support it's a decent size 27 inch high resolution enough 1440p and you know until we get some of those HDR monitors by 4k 144 hertz or the ultra wide you know 1440p class 200 Hertz and others that we sort of Computex in more i understand we should be seeing those in the next couple of months this is pretty much the sort of goals and tier products in my opinion because a lot of top-end GPUs like the GTX 1080 and 1080i a really well suited to high refresh 1440p gaming and you know you can buy some 144 Hertz or that sort of tier high refresh 1440p monitors but 165 Hertz takes it to the next level it's g-sync you get that nice crispness that 1440p provides over 1080p it's great to use as a desktop monitor and we're taking a look at housing on all the colors and how the refresh rate performs in this particular monitor I'm really excited to look out for this because I think for most people at the moment who are trying to buy a high-end gaming monitor that will last you for a couple of generations if you don't want HDR the next specs option is something like a 1440p 165 Hertz monitor they're providing here so we'll take a look more that are in an episode a review of heartful and highway in the coming weeks so busan did actually send me another monitor which is their latest moment sitting behind me in a box i'm not going to bring up because the box is you know huge but it is essentially their version of a 24 point 5-inch 1080p 240 Hertz monitor i've done a number of reviews of those type of monitors on high run boxes over the past couple of months we saw one from a soos and aoc this is basically viewsonic option it's a free sync version of the modernist it's more than a OC sort of class in terms of the 240 hertz 1080p monitors we started take a look at that as well because and see you know I've seen a number of those I'm interested to see how few Sonics compete so I believe I believe it's six hundred US dollars but I'll have to have to double check that for the review of course but you see that on Hardware own box in the coming weeks as well so I guess that's pretty much all the stuff that I wanted to cover on this second attempt at doing a hardware and unboxing boxes after so oh boy so yes pretty disappointing to that first go completely stuff up but I think we got through some of the stuff that I want to cover the primary thing of course is the pulse by our mouse surprisingly impressed with what I / XML should do with their first attempt to the game mouse is really solid I think most people will be quite happy with what it provides 250 US dollars so it definitely go out and check that out eighty US dollars for the pulse pulse fire check out the reviews of some of this stuff on text but we'll have some content coming on hardware box as well you see some more phone reviews from me coming up if my chamois meeseeks review hasn't been published yet I'm sure that will be coming very shortly I've also got huawei p10 I'm working on got some HTC stuff coming up maybe the new one positive they will send that out and a gigabyte product from confi Texas coming my way as well they'll be interesting to check out I believe it is their gtx 1070 your USB powered dock so from the bottle 3 graphics for your laptops i'll be interesting and max-q laptops from nvidia those are coming towards the end of June so we'll be getting some of that stuff on hardware and box as well in the coming weeks so there's a lot of cool content coming up on on a hardware box as well check back soon for Intel Core 9 as well love all of that stuff coming very shortly thanks to the slogging through my first ever episode of unboxing boxes I hope it goes a bit better next time won't stuff up some of the camera stuff will actually get some more unboxings in but yeah good enough first attempt anyway thanks everyone and we'll catch you in the next one you
