Func MS-3 Gaming Mouse Unboxing & Overview

2013-05-28
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the funk ns3 so their slogan is functionality perfected so you're probably not going to find 8200 dpi sensors and you know 57 buttons and whatever else but the idea behind this mouse was to create something that was usable so check this up packaging is very clean so let's do the back first so you've got him optimal in range button placements from our accurate gameplay so the idea is that there's not a ton of buttons but you could reach them all built to last them only the best components available to keep your comfy grip allows you to keep focused on the screen so it's a palm type mouse customizable LED lighting system with profile indication okay so there's RGB lighting which is basically just there and there switch instantly to another dpi by holding down the instant aim button so it's got an aim button for a sniper button or whatever sort of a lot of different guys have called that alright him it all started back in 1999 in sunny California a bunch of passionate gamers and friends got fed up with computer gear not cutting it like anyone serious about his business these guys decided it was time to take action they were visionaries free thinkers and entrepreneurs and thank God Steve Jobs came along and invented the modern gaming mouse in sunny California in 1999 actually that's not really what happened there but the point is that there were some guys they founded funk and they wanted to create stuff that was good enough for them to use it so funk was kind of m.i.a for a little bit there but it has been resurrected and this is pretty much the first product that's come out of the rejuvenated company so let's go ahead and open this bad boy up you can open it up from either side I chose the right because that's how I roll I make decisions and I just go for it spec wise what have they got to say for themselves Omron switches so that's in line with funk saying that they're using only the highest quality materials on run switches are very very well regarded but let's just this is funny check us out they actually call out the exact processor they're using a vago UGS 9500 okay so our sorry sensor and then the processor is a WT 65 73 onboard memory 512 kilobytes resolution 9250 670 dpi that is a huge range and that goes all the way down very very low 1,200 frames per second tracking speed five point one meters per second I think there's pretty much everything in here the only thing that I've seen that is not here so you can have up to thousand hours polling rate is that that thing that logitech's doing now where they actually rate the feet on the bottom of the mice for a particular distance that they can travel 250 kilometers on their latest a GS series mice so let's go ahead and check out the actual mouse itself so it's much wider than what you might be used to if you've seen a few sort of modern gaming mice because a lot of the mice out there it seems like manufacturers are hedging their bets a little bit and saying okay well if we build something smaller than some people with small hands we'll be able to palm it and people with big hands will be able to claw it whereas funk has gone okay no we're going to build something bigger so that people with bigger hands can palm it and people with smaller hands can palm it slightly less so what you'll notice is that I have small hands and while my hand does fit comfortably on the MS 3 you can see that I'm not nearly to the end of the buttons here or to the rests for the ring finger and the pinky finger and you can see here on the other side I'm also not able to reach the sniper button necessarily so the MS 3 is optimized for people with bigger hands such as slick who's on his way over here right now to show us what his larger hands will look like on the MS 3 thank you slick for stepping in and doing what I can't do so ah you know what the mics on so feel free to to talk I still kind of claw it actually but I can palm it a lot easier than those place okay so here let's do a quick size comparison sort of slicks hand versus mine so baseball glove lady hand so somewhere in between is probably where you're going to find the perfect balance with the ns3 now let's go ahead and cover all the buttons that are on here so we've got four buttons that are accessible with the thumb for me personally I'd be able to do one two three of them this one's a bit stiffer than these two you can actually hear there's a distinctly different clicks to them and then this one is more of a spring-loaded sort of type of feel of button just like this one right here two buttons on the top all of these can be reprogrammed from within the funk software as well as a non-tilting but pressable scroll wheel and an additional button over here on the right of your ring finger now I personally prefer this positioning for a button that's going to be intended to be pressed by moving off either my left to right click because I've seen one's position here a lot of the time and I personally left-click a lot more than I right click so I would rather move this off to the side then move this off to the side with that said my hands are slightly too small to reach that button on the end so guys if your hands are a little bit on the bigger side you have probably found your new mouse the bottom is covered in a glossy finish that also has slippy pads right here here here here and here and you can see the laser sensor right here through the bottom of the mouse itself the braided cable is 2 meters long and has a nice little sort of black and orange finish to it so hopefully you guys can get a good look at that and then it does have the gold plated USB connector although it should be noted that that doesn't actually do anything for the performance it's mostly just for show I mean with that said it's not like it costs a ton and funks charging you an extra $25 because they put a gold-plated connector on it so I wouldn't worry too much about it from that perspective but yeah it doesn't actually affect the performance too much the important thing well not at all is to have gold plated inside here not the outside of the connector where nothing actually happens except I believe it's a ground but that's about it so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the funk ms3 don't forget to subscribe - tech tips from more unboxings reviews and other computer videos and oh yeah the last thing I should probably mention about it is it has a really nice soft touch feel over the entire Mouse with the exception of the bottom and the buttons on the top that feels really good here that should give you guys some idea of what the texture is like and actually looks really good as well thanks guys so yeah a couple things I missed the 512 K memory holds up to 3 different profiles and it's a driverless mouse so you can just plug it in and it works the way you intend it to honestly the minute I switched to my Akari laser prior to that I'd had a non driverless mouse I gave up on my student driver list every mouse should have onboard memory these days and the last thing is it can record up to 20 actions with a macro so there you go using the editor shut up crow so we just finished filming this and diesel the intern apparently wants the smell snow to swap out on his workstation so there you go
