welcome to my unboxing of the meiotic snails 8200 this is an all-new Mouse from neonics that actually takes what was already good about the nails 3200 and the nails 5000 and kicks it up a notch so basically we've got what is a pretty standard overall package here so you can see a picture of the mouse with the green me onyx accents here although it should be noted that those colours can be changed to any one of sixteen point eight million color options using the programmable LEDs that can be changed within the software and it should also be noted that the ergonomics have thankfully not changed versus the previous nails mice they've also gone with an extremely small package so it's basically just the mouse and a couple of accessories tucked away inside of an outer box sensor specifications okay so 8200 dpi laser 32 bit 72 megahertz ARM processor don't think of it in terms of 72 megahertz think of it as 72 millions of Hertz sort of one way of looking at it right so okay let's go ahead and have a close look at the packaging here so we've got a little fold out piece here we've got a little plastic piece here I got to admit the packaging itself feels a little bit less deluxe than previous bionics mice but if the performance is anything - or if the performance is anything like what I'm used to then it should be just fine in fact my wife is a bit of a picky peripheral user and refuses to use anything but her nails 3200 or the 5000 that she was using before but I craftily snuck away when she wasn't looking anyway so I'm going to get our b-roll camera to go ahead and have a look at what we've got here in terms of specs overall so award-winning ergonomic design extremely comfortable the overall shape of the mouse is quite frankly just awesome so you can see right here whether you have smaller hands like me or whether you kind of have bigger hands and you're going to need to be sitting back a little bit further the curve of the mouse is such that you can sort of sit back on it or choke up on it as much as you want and it'll be comfortable from either angle so I'm just going to go ahead and shift back over here so you can have a look from the other side so same thing here where you've got a curve right here for your pinkie a curve right here for your ring finger and then comfortable placements for your index and your middle fingers as well as for your thumb on the other side so yeah they haven't done away with that grip friendly rubber coating so it does use a soft touch feel overall to the mouse which I personally prefer I think that was a huge misstep for SteelSeries when they upgraded the side to the sensei now the newer the newer sensei with the MLG branding on it actually brings back that soft touch finish and I think that is a very very important thing three step in-game dpi adjustments okay this is pretty standard for gaming mice these days seven buttons overall so you've got your back and forward buttons here by the way they're all programmable you've got your dpi up and down buttons here your mouse wheel click as well as your left and right buttons here that is pretty much it in terms of glowy spots the mouse wheel these dpi indicators here as well as these buttons and the my onyx logo at the back will all glow in-game profile switching okay extensive programmable macros that's good 6 integrated LEDs in four colors own so you can actually have multiple different color zones that's kind of neat I actually didn't know that already color shift function so you can use solid blinking pulsating or breathing LED effects you can adjust the polling rate this is something that has been more of more of a thing in the more recent years actually a long time ago people didn't really talk about it at all I remember you used to have to do like a manual override to change your mouse to a 1000 Hertz polling rate so that's that's very good I mean a thousand Hertz is a thousand times a second which means we're taking the mouse down with a wired connection to as little input latency as is humanly possible or not humanly possible just in general possible large pH PTFE feet so these right here are going to be the slip pads that are going to make it so that you don't actually have any sort of unintentional grip up to the surface that you are putting it down on so hopefully you can see those pretty well there there we go so those should be quite durable like I said we've had one of their 3200 mice and deployment for quite a while no complaints whatsoever they're also quite thick so large and they have like quite a quite a thickness to them so they shouldn't wear down too quickly but if they do then sort of your mileage may vary I suppose can't be my fault gold plated USB connection this is less necessary than you might think and then it's got a two meter cable with braiding on it so let's go ahead and have a close look at that so the gold plating on the outside of the connector actually does absolutely nothing for the durability of the mouse it's just for looks mostly it's more important to have gold plating on the inside where those connectors are so gold is useful for these kinds of connectors because it doesn't oxidize and it's somewhat mailed malleable which means it's going to always make a good connection braided cable is high-quality it's a braided cable this is something we're used to seeing on gaming mice so that's good to see and we'll be back in a moment with the mouse lit up so you guys can have a look at it so basically guys this last little bit here it's just going to be to give you some overall glamour shots of the mouse itself I'm not even going to let Slick's camera have any of the action at all so I'm just going to sort of turn it over show you guys what it looks like I mean I have smaller ish hands in fact so it could even just put down his camera and come to a more practical demonstration of what a larger hand will look like on the mouse itself so here just kind of give them a bit of a view there so in fact here here's the mic what are you what are your impressions of the shape you've used one like this before right yeah yeah it can claw it still so that's really nice but then if someone had smaller hands they could palm it very easily although palming it with this as a hand is kind of ridiculous okay so there you go guys smaller hands can eat oh my goodness look how sweaty his hands are check this out not gross its disgusting so smaller hands palm is very easy very comfortable you could also clot with smaller hands but I'd say it's optimized for small hand palm large hand claw and then sort of in between I guess you could probably go either way because I have very small hands and then slick has very very large hands so I think that pretty much wraps it up oh yeah your four different LED zones are going to be here here here and here don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer
