Dmitry and welcome back to another hair products review have any of you heard of Roccat one year ago probably not particularly in canada but they are sure expanding they're in North American reach and their products are finally making their way into our hands now there's really so many peripherals today in the market that it becomes very difficult to differentiate yourself from the rest of the competition computer isn't revolutionary in the sense that it holds the basic principles that are needed for gaming without being too ambitious now what we have here is the Hellfire red edition priced at $80 with other color options available as well but this red on black combo I think will definitely spice up your desk space the coating on the entire body is rubberized which feels very nice but we do need more coarse texture on the sides for a steadier grip also definitely expect the rubberized surface to wear with time now this illuminated rocket logo is a nice addition although it's not exactly uniform but that just as being cakey economically speaking the mouse feels very light at 90 grams with no weight adjustments but it's also not a very large Mouse either so it complements it's lightweight pretty good this is particularly important for those who prefer lower dpi and like to lift off the mouse while aiming so we don't have any issues in that department your thumb rests comfortably and in the perfect reach for those browser buttons and your pointer finger can quickly access the DPI months now the DPI buttons on the comp you have excellent feedback and require quite a bit of force to register and same goes for the browser buttons that have just the right amount of travel and resistance now usually what we see some sort of LED to indicate what what dpi setting you're using or which profile but with the computer we have a rather different approach take a listen epi 6400 dpi 8200 dpi volume up volume down volume up volume down profile 3 profile for 8200 dpi that's right the driver software by default will announce what profile dpi setting and even achievements not in-game achievements but Mouse achievements which is rather unusual it does show you all the click and scroll statistics for example now speaking of the scroll wheel this is one of the best scroll wheels that I have ever used on the mouse there is just the right amount of resistance and you can feel every little scroll step it doesn't wobble and the rubberized surface helps with perfect operation every time so from an ergonomic and button design the computer is very satisfactory to use now coming into the software we have all the customization needed to really personalize the feel starting with the main control where you can adjust five different dpi settings all the way up to 8200 dpi we have sensitivity options and scroll speed rate standard stuff obviously button assignment and macro manager is key and rocket has this easy shift plus feature which allows secondary button assignment which basically doubles the amount of things you can do with your mouse by default the backwards key is mapped to be the easy shift plus as long as it's pressed the rest of the buttons will perform under secondary command this is particularly useful for switching profiles or adjusting the volume for example this works very well for simple multitasking in desktop but provides a whole new level of Mouse control for in-game is now you have pretty much six extra button assignments for your mouse for example I found useful to map the talk key to be used with the right mouse button which means you don't have to lift your fingers from the is these zones also rocket includes easy aim function which essentially drops the DPI to your preferred setting and essentially acting is a sniper button as long as it's pressed so that will definitely come in handy in the advanced control tab we get X and white sensitivity a tracking control unit that scans your surface and adjust the laser accordingly for more accurate tracking and for those who like left off the mouse liftoff distance can also be configured now this mouse is rated at the thousand Hertz so absolutely no lag during gameplay and the LED color and effect can also be adjusted now the lit up logo is a nice touch and if you do decide to silence the announcer color is a good option to differentiate between profiles so I took the time to explore my gaming library with the cone pure and have to say my experience has been very satisfactory upon setting up appropriate dpi levels and sensitivity and turning off that annoying announcer the mouse really grew on me as the buttons feel extremely sturdy and responsive it's very comfortable despite its light weight and really no complaints about the tracking either driver software is a little cramped but nevertheless provides a lot of flexibility for user preference in particularly the secondary button assignment which are totally worth it for improved gameplay and all this for $80 we think is a good value if you want a proper gaming mouse now our only critique is that we wish the sides were more textured to provide a tidy grip but all in all this is a gaming geared Mouse that definitely should be considered and we're giving it the hardware canucks damn good and then good value award so thanks guys for watching make sure to like this video for a chance to win the cone pure and we'll see you in the next one
