this video was brought to you by NCIX great technology selections and service hello everyone this is Dimitri with Huracan oxen we've noticed that gaming peripherals from Roccat have been slowly saturating the North American market the company stands behind in quality designs with excellent responses from gamers on all fronts of products but especially with their mice so one of their latest gaming mice is the rocket ion a well placed and competitive mouse that will for sure attract a lot of attention despite the $99 price tag so let's take a look at the form first everything from the extremely comfortable thumb rest with a coarse texture to keep a solid grip to the slight curve on the right side and the appropriate height of the tie on are all indicators that rocket knows what they're doing within this category ergonomics are well executed with a solid structure at the hundred twenty six grams this seems to be that perfect balance between offering a comfortable handling experience regardless if you're coming from a much lighter or a heavier Mouse the button layout and execution is also impressive all the usual buttons have great actuations primary left and right click travel easy enough but do not allow accidental presses the scroll wheel is by far the best I've tried with really indicative scroll steps that I love plus it's light enough to be pressed without disturbing your grip or aim during game the two extra buttons beside your point finger are well within reach and the angular shape helps you find those buttons quickly and naturally while the ones on the opposite side for your middle finger do require some finger learning by thanks to tall buttons they do become more natural to use with time there are plenty of commands at your thumb and it's exactly this button layout that will differentiate the tie on and help it stand out among many other gaming mice the usual browser buttons are fine with distinct click but soft actuations then we have the tilt button that is placed right above the thumb with smooth travel in either direction and returns to the center when released and for gaming I really found this helpful were the in your sights you know for your scope and it's especially awesome for piloting to adjust you altitude and your otter there's a fence which behind the scroll wheel for use by either your point or middle fingers but it was really out of the way for comfortable reach and was left unused most of the time however one of the best buckey's additions on the taeyeon is the EZ shift+ located right underneath your thumb it is kind of part of the frame and part of the curve to support the thumb but it is low profile enough for easy reach this allows secondary commands to be mapped onto all your mouse buttons when the easy shift bus is active adding a ton of extra functionality to your mouse so this is especially cool if you have a complimenting rocket keyboard for extra awesome productivity however with some quick button mapping you could eliminate the use of a keyboard entirely for a lot of functions both for gaming on productivity and this is exactly how button remapping should work and here's a quick test on how each of these buttons sounds so the tyonne is a laser mouse using the pro aim r3 8200 dpi sensor while tracking performance was pleasing I do still prefer an optical alternative like my nail 7000 that I really have gotten accustomed to but smooth tracking is possible throughout the entire dpi range and I had absolutely no problems with aim neither in-game nor while editing the trick here for laser minds is to decrease sensitivity and increase dpi for precision and accuracy the lighting additions on the tile are actually quite cool with a single continuous LED strip covering the bottom rim illuminating the surface underneath along with a well-lit scroll wheel the lighting is vibrant and bright but most importantly it is color accurate if you said the color is orange it will be orange and not some weird yellowish green stuff plus you can set any type of effect you may wish for from us or breathing effects too fast color shifting plus an extra cherry for those with Alienware machines they recently announced a collaboration with Alienware to incorporate alien effects to work with the broken peripherals and moving on to the software it is very well designed with so much control under your fingertips sensitivity scroll speed horizontal tilt speed dpi sensitivities for up to 5 fast steps double-click spend easy-to-understand button mapping with the top-down view and side view for standard button assignments and that easy shift plus mapping macro manager is here with some pre-loaded most used actions on some applications like for shop and office and many others but with a very limited gaming selection so you will have to create your own which is not a big problem now under the advanced control we have liftoff distance that is really important and surface calibrations for the sensor polling rate sound feedback that is ridiculous 8200 dpi 6400 dpi but good serve helpful for dpi and profile changes and perhaps even trophy notifications as broke out includes and built in a word and tracking system for the mouse color control as mentioned before is flexible per zone with various lighting effects and all that is safe per profile on the mouse thanks to the built-in memory requiring no software installation if you move between pcs so this is the most comprehensive driver software you can find for a gaming mouse and so at the end of the day the rocket iron is one attractive Gaming Mouse for an extremely comfortable handling experience a load of programmable buttons along with that easy shift plus that doubles the functionality of each buttons for aiming gaming in productivity purposes with excellent actuations we have also the best scroll wheel on the mouse period the laser sensor is great so are the lighting portions of the body and intuitive software to pack it all up for a really awesome gaming mouse now there isn't particularly anything wrong with the tyonne but the lack of an optical option is disappointing considering how many gamers are now switching towards optical sensors including myself and the fin switch up top in the mouse behind the scroll wheel it wasn't comfortable to use plus I would love if the software window could be expanded a little bit to have a less crammed UI but despite all that we would strongly recommend the rocket iron for all users on the market for a mouse that practically has it all and we're giving you the harbor Canucks damn gonna warden and well that is it for this review make sure to check out the rest of our gaming mice videos to get acquainted with what the competition has to
