welcome to my unboxing of the Roccat Sabu this is a midsize hybrid gaming mouse which I'm not exactly sure what ibrid means but I guess we'll get to that later Pro optic sensor so this is using an optical sensor not a laser sensor but still capable of 4000 dpi the DPI is mob size more of a factor if you're running a very high resolution screen or like a multi-monitor setup and anything else because beyond that really the accuracy of the tracking is more important than the DPI ok button duplicator easy shift+ ok we'll figure out what that is later customizable lighting multi color so you can change the lighting to whatever color you want I guess that's what the rainbow here means no sweat side grips excellent Roccat driver and macro presets for games multimedia and apps five plus two buttons twelve functions very easy shift okay that sounds kind of neat high-quality components for solid build for long life ok optical sensor twelve most functions Roccat easy shift ultra light light system drivers and macros let's go ahead and open this bad boy up because Roccat is starting to get a lot of attention in North America they haven't really been present here before but they are now and people are really talking about it so let's find out what all of the fuss is about optimum mid size design with perfectly balanced weight I do appreciate having adjustable weight on mice but I understand that that's not everyone's preference and while I it's ok okay I should disclaim that because while I said I do like to have adjustable weight my actual favorite Mouse does not have adjustable weight so my second favorite mouse ever is the g9 and I haven't tried the g9 X so I don't I don't know but it's probably more of the same and it's good but my favorite mouse is actually the SteelSeries akari laser which is not weight adjustable so let's go ahead and have a look at the aesthetics of the most so this is excellent grip material on the side here you can tell right away it's basically like sandpaper but not uncomfortable it's like rubber sandpaper so you'll have the what it allows is for the sweat to sit in between the the bumps so you can still maintain grip on it and it's not absorbent at all but it should be pretty durable as well it doesn't feel like the kind of thing that you could just scratch off easily in terms of mouse buttons you've got two here so there's your backs and forwards you've got your left and right click you got your middle click and let's find out what easy shift is this is my Roccat ID card it should be noted that it is not valid unless signed and needs an authorized signature also this card is the property of Rockette studios misuse is a criminal offense really this is not a valid means of payment ok this video register your personal ID using this card on our website so I am going to take this and I'm going to put this in my wallet right now because oh no my wallets full of things like credit cards and identification ok I guess I'll file that somewhere else ok moving right along easy shift you actually kind of cool so what it does here these are all the default assignments however once you install the software you can change them so here I'm going to demo on the mouse itself rather than so left click right click ok this is the easy shift button so here check this up browser forward shift browser back ok so scroll up scroll down shift volume up volume down so basically shift allows you to press this and then press any of these other buttons for different functionalities so they give you a map of the default assignments with no driver installed but you can install the driver and you can change everything you want they also give you some examples of what you might want to do and for example counter-strike or Wow or multimedia or browser or whatever else the case may be Kennedy I think it would take a little while to get used to but once you do you could actually effectively have far more buttons on your mouse than you then you actually have which is sort of neat ok so the sensor can deliver 400 800 1600 or 4,000 dpi optimized tracking that fits any style so has an ultra play 2d incremental step wheel for perfect control during weapon changes and other critical decisions see yeah feels pretty solid ok I'm down high quality build ah yes more German engineering excellent so this goes along with our theme of German engineering in our unboxings today which included the be quiet dark powerboat dark power Pro power supply and my rabbit German engineering okay let's have a look at the mouse itself physically so you got your slippy pads on the front in the back you've got your optical sensor right there in terms of the size they're calling this a mid-sized Mouse I'd say this is more on the smaller side I have pretty small hands and this is a very very comfortable size for me in terms of the grip I'd say it's somewhere between you can palm it if you want but what you'll find is I think your pinky will fall off a little bit so you might want to clot and I don't think it's really suitable for fingertip although you could probably do it because it's got enough of a contour here and enough of a contour here that you could probably get away with it but I'd say this is more of a claw grip than anything else in terms of how its most naturally used the top is is a little bit more smooth but still grippy compared to the sides where it's more like that sandpaper finish and the overall comfort is pretty good actually like I'm liking it I don't quite like the positioning of these I wish they were a little bit lower but there's still once you actually put it down they're very reachable and it's not going to interfere with your ability to use the mouse otherwise even if you're holding down one of them as a shift so I think that pretty much covers it you know we should plug it in and check out the lighting effects section just to see I think it's blue by default just plug this in there you go actually I'm going to go turn off the lights that you can put it next to the Corsair m60 so you can see what I most with lighting effects looks like compared to amounts without lighting effects if you aren't already aware of what those wood lighting effects looks like well it's kind of neat so in the driver you should be able to configure things like the colors pulsation and all that good stuff so thank you for checking on my unboxing and first look at the row cat's a blue don't forget to subscribe - tech tips from our unboxings reviews another computer videos
