gamer's Nexus is a fledgling manufacturer of several interesting products they have sent me their newest mod matte mini today so we're gonna be taking it through its paces extensive testing so we can give you a full view and let you know whether or not this new product is worth your money Noorie always jumpin up on the table so you guys might be able to tell but we've got the original gamers Nexus mod Matt here on the table don't worry we will be doing a comparison to the original as well as a huge array of comparative tests inside though got some packaging accessories oh look Steve's trying to butter me up with one of the gamers Nexus pint glasses here which I'll have to do a separate video on comparing the performance of this to my pint glasses which do hold more liquid than the gamers Nexus version they've got some gilding going on in the outside there but of course we are not gonna be fooled or tricked by flashy packaging here we're all about performance inside the package we have a thermally printed label has the gamers Nexus logo on it as well as my name and address gamers Nexus logo looks a little pixelated I'm gonna say not quite as sharp of printing as we might come to expect there so obviously that's disappointing right from the get-go so if I'm at itself we have some elastic straps boom this is our first test first test of course gonna be a flatness reflexivity index so as we can see laid flat on the table we have some curling at the corners not quite laying flat so as was also included in the original mod mat we have an anti-static wrist band here which is a nice add-on I gotta give them credit for that it has this piece which you will connect to something that is grounded yeah this little contact point right there and you take the wrist strap itself you can use this alligator clip to clip it to something or you can just plug in right there once you have this fixed grounding piece which you can then attach to your desk somewhere then of course the thermally conductive part goes like that should make contact with your skin to make sure that you are electrically discharged before you work on any sensitive electronic components I'd love to see some more interoperability here I'll clip you know it could connect right there that would be that'd be useful in my mind so natural rubber also known as india-rubber we're all probably pretty familiar with but it is formed from polymers of the organic compound isoprene normally it is produced in Thailand as well as India all that information can obviously be referenced in the footnotes for today's video but I want to get back to reflectivity or when it comes to the refractive index of a property when you're talking about a wavefront interfacing with the media so that is refracted at an equal and opposite angle we're talking about multiple factors here we have thermal radiation and that comes in the form of light emissivity and we also have infrared lights so there's stuff you can see and stuff you can't see I wasn't as noticeable to me upon first inspection of the product but I feel like we're dealing with a fair amount of integrated tessellation here with this accounting for the rocky terrain naturally you would want to go with Bonetti defense in that case but the would expect the enemy to attack with kappa fair but as expected in that case the values tend to be well over 9000 but when it comes to the fundamentals here I think it gets back to what the definition of Nexus is a series of things multiple things that are connected together and obviously there's there's nothing connected to this of course at that point I had to interject and put my foot down because if I paid for the meal then obviously I'm going to take the doggie bag home now we've covered a lot of information in this introductory section which will all be digitized placed in a compendium and then buried in a time capsule for the next 200 years when it will be resurrected when humanity has evolved to the next plane of existence but for now I think we can move on to the testing section and have a bunch of numbers to share with you here our first test is flatness and uniformity this is a mod mat and of course a mat should be something as flat if you have a mat on your front door for example and it curls up at the corners well it's going to be easy to trip over in a similar situation if you're building a computer and your mat is not flats well we can't have any of that cat in the hat' at the same time when it comes to uniformity of the surface area we have some grooves and ridges here provides a bit of texture and actually that is a good thing for a mat because as you have products on it you don't want them to be slipping and sliding around however the grain here is obviously slightly askance a bit askew you might say that might lead to a visual conflict which could then confuse the user which then of course would lead to damaging your opponents our next test is still in development we probably need one or two thousand more passes at it before we can call it completely scientific but it involves dropping a handful of screws and other components onto the mat in order to determine how quickly they can be picked up because reflectivity of the surface area is something that can lead to eye strain and of course locating your parts on the mat surface itself is going to be very important when it comes to efficiency the downside here is that over here on the area where you're supposed to be setting your screws and everything we actually have a higher reflectivity index and although this does make it easy to locate the screws there we could be looking at long term eye strains so something that perhaps some blue blocking lenses might account for or of course just don't stare directly at the mom mat itself no no I just did next we're analyzing the mod map many on the accuracy of the printed information that's on the mat itself and here we have some useful information we have a layout of a graphics card we have the die shots of both Turing and Pascal so ten series as well as 20 series and video GPUs and we have a Vega 56 and 64 here now I would argue that the Vega 56 and 64 is practically useless because who uses vega's anymore and then I have a slight issue with some of the representative sizing some of the components on here we have PCI Express 8 pin and 6 pin where we can see the sense connectors as well as ground and 12 volts these are these are just huge they're obviously much larger than they are in real life so that could potentially lead to confusion next we have the all-important odor test smells good now this last set of test numbers is the durability test and here we have a couple tests these are very scientific and it involves a lot of man-hours of work so I hope you guys appreciate the level of effort that went into this testing supplemented with the stare test and the results of these tests were unfortunately inconclusive but that does mean as you guys are probably hoping I will be having a follow-up this has just been the introductory preliminary testing of the gamers Nexus mod met many I will be following up with a very extent probably like an hour long video where I go over some additional details on this mod mat so let you guys know whether or not you should purchase it my initial impressions are I'm not impressed obviously it's a match but it's not flat it's got stuff on it it is mini but what does mini really mean is that a quantifiable thing or is it just something that's in the abstract the gamers Nexus is trying to use to sell us more products and finally gamers Nexus there were no gamers included with this product and as far as the Nexus I don't know what that actually means but guys that is all for this video thank you so much for watching I'll post a link to this product down in the video's description despite it of course being horribly bad and disappointing thank you so much again for watching hit the thumbs up button anyway out we'll see you next time
