gaming peripherals mice keyboards headphones headsets these are things that can be so important but in 2019 there is also so much fluff out there and marketing jargon me personally I put this stuff through its paces and if it ends up going through the paces and I like it then it stays on the desk and right here from Oris I've got their m2 and m5 gaming mice and the thing is they asked me to take a look at it because they sent I think some might send a rocket jump and he thought it wasn't even worthy of plugging in but a good old tech yes I like to give something a chance and they were really saying look we're so impressed with this stuff we really want you to take a look at it so we're gonna take a look at these new mice as well as their new keyboards the k7 and k9 and their headset the h5 and just give it to you guys straight and let you know if Oris should be a serious consideration if you're looking for peripherals the first thing we're gonna look at are the gaming mice these are easily the most important peripheral that you should be considering these are seriously make and break when it comes to doing things from my instance doing video editing 4k video I need something that's accurate fast and I can snap quickly with a fingertip grip if you're an FPS player then palm grip mice usually gain popularity here for being able to get pinpoint accuracy so you need to have the goods in these mice ready to go so here in the studio I currently mainly use Logitech mice I've got a G 402 for FPS games and then when I use my video editing and also RTS and mobile I use a G 203 I think in a straight it's called the G 100 - they're both fingertip or palm grip mice so after using the Auris m2 we're gonna get straight into the details this is such a love and hate not love or hate it's love and hate relationship with this mouse because there's things that they've done so well for starters of ways an 80 grams vs. 86 on the G 102 so the weight is really good I'm not gonna say one is better than the other I like using both these mice these switches they've used Omron all around so it does have a very high actuation point which is great for gaming they've also got an ambidextrous design with two buttons on the left two buttons on the right and the positioning of the buttons is really good the scroll wheel is actually very nice however it is a little bit loose to the point where if you wanted to reliably use this middle click as a button you'd cause yourself slipping up and down with a scroll wheel dpi change has four levels and the feet are solid on a soft style mouse pad and the cable itself is very lightweight it's not going to get in the way of anything you do and it has a picsArt PA 3327 sensor and the best thing yet is it comes in at $39 dollars or in the US 30 USD so it's very well positioned against the Logitech G 102 however besides the good points the baddest point about this mouse is the software it just lets it down so much and it's not a problem like if you're gonna go out and get a gaming mouse and just play games this thing is gonna be excellent the movie into the software there's things like I pose that apparent there's four levels of dpi that you can't even take off any of those levels of dpi I personally only like having two levels of dpi one for very slow like sniping and fps another for 900 this is the sweet spot on this Mouse I have 900 DPI - they feel very similar however I did notice with the picsArt sensor itself there is a slight amount of smoothing and it kind of was annoying for 4k video editing which is what I use this mouse for it's the best mouse I've used yet so if anything I'd say the Logitech sensor as opposed to the picsArt 3327 is actually a superior sensor in this mouse and other than that it's very nice the smoothing can help out when you're playing FPS games it was good for dota 2 as well so since it is a gaming mouse it's doing very well at gaming the input latency as well is extremely well when I'm using the PK response test testing it into the Logitech which we already know the Logitech are pretty much near zero latency in terms of input like this is scoring pretty much exactly the same so they've done a great job of everything involved on the hardware level I just think the software side at the moment is letting this mouse down so I'd like to see them overhaul their software but let's move over now straight to this one right here this is the m5 which is actually a little bit more expensive it's coming in at 79 ozzie dollars so it's pretty much double the price of the m2 and it's also coming in in the US at 70 USD so this has got more RGB bling it's got that palm grip style shape to it and it does weigh in at roughly 120 grams so you can add weights to it if you like and I really did like the shape of what they've done with this the curvatures of the buttons at the end it is a fantastic shape and also the sensor I like it a lot better than the m2 even though it's still a pic side it's a picks off 3389 I didn't notice the same smoothing that the m2 had so I really liked this in FPS if you've got a large hand and you like a palm grip this is really gonna do well the input latency like the m2 is very low it's a very comfortable Mouse however it is designed right hands you do have two buttons on the side so you do get two extra buttons on the m2 as opposed to the m5 and the cable is very lightweight and the scroll will feel similar to that of the m2 so it won't be a problem the little rattle that zai talked about in his video I think that's just to do with the scroll wheel being loose in terms of the way it's designed I don't think it's an actual problem itself if anything the Corsair dark core Pro which is like one of the most expensive - out there still has that same little rattle in it so it's not only the warrior oh it's just the design feature of the scroll wheel itself in the software this has the ability to control the liftoff distance I do like to leave this on high when I put it on the lowest setting I started even having problems tracking right close down to the mouse pad one thing about the software - since I did plug both of these in once I plugged the m2 in I lost the ability to change the liftoff distance on this m5 so again coming back to that software it does need an overhaul in how it's designed it's really letting both these mice down because they are a fantastic design everything high actuation points low input latency great shape in the case of the m5 really good sensor then in the case of the m2 I'd like to see an improve sensor improve software and Oris will have a very competitive Mouse lineup on their hands so next up here we've got the ab 500 their mouse pad as well as their h5 gaming headset now the mouse pad straight away is what they call a hybrid mouse pad so it's sort of like a mixture between a cloth surface and a hard type surface and to be fair it was sort of like I think it was kind of hit or miss depending on the mouse for instance the m2 it just sort of had too much friction so I really didn't like it with that Mouse but then the m5 and also the g1 or - for example they went really nicely on this mouse pad and then of course this the g4 - just had too much friction as well so it's kind of like this mouse pad I still prefer my cloth this one here is still kind of I don't I'm not really digging that too much but maybe if it's something that you have been longing for in terms of a hybrid mouse pad it might be for you the headset itself has RGB in it which I'm not a big fan of because it does add to the cost but I guess if you want to customize everything do it's there but the actual quality and comfort of it was pretty good up until you wear it for a few hours and then sort of like the hard base inside the ear cup here starts digging into your ear so I did find it very comfortable at first very lightweight then it started digging into my ears but to move on to the sound quality you've got a 3.5 mill and a log jacks so one for you mic one for your audio out and the bass was very decent for these headphones as well as the treble being very clear so there are a nice gaming heads they do give you good 3d imaging and we used it with the Mayflower DAC camp and I could hear enemies in games very easy so now as for the microphone and the headset I knew a guy called Tim and he actually wanted to change his name to 10 and then I asked him why would you want to change your name to 10 and he said well I was thinking about buying the gigabyte Horus h5 headset and I didn't know if I'd been tinny in advance so if it was tinny my name would be 10 and then we'd have some synergy going on between the headset and myself and I said to him well perhaps you should wait for this microphone test and see if there is actually tin inside that microphone as for the pricing Horus are asking 75 USD or 109 Aussie dollars GST inclusive for this headset and I think at this price there's better options out there so if you get this on sale then and you want something that's reliable for gaming that's gonna be good but I feel at the moment there are some better options out there for the money now as we're typing on the k9 I was really blown away by this keyboard it was very easy very smooth nice to type on of course I do like the blue switches they've used and you guys hear it now however they aren't Cherry MX Blues in the case of the k7 they are actually using Cherry MX switches but with this they've decided to go with the k9 for a switch called flare tech and this enables you to actually not only remove the key caps which they've used PBG key gaps on the canine which is very nice but they're actually allowing you to take out the switch altogether and change it for a different type of switch if you wish to so if you don't like the Blues you can change them over to Red's and with this k9 in batik they include nine extra linear switches with the different key caps orange key caps you can change over on the wires keys so if you don't like the noise of the Blues at night for example and all you're doing is gaming you can change them over to a linear key and I keep the noise down but in terms of the noise on these blue switches from Flair tech themselves I notice they are a little bit quieter than a typical Cherry MX blue and on top of that the actuation points on both the linear and the blue switches they've used here are very high so I was playing dota 2 and I was surprised this thing was reacting very quickly now the funny thing is about the flare tech switches are they are actually an optical switch and so with that they technically have analog input if the game or said application could support that and so if you press it a little bit down you can slowly walk if you press it all the way down you can run for example though I didn't really come into anything that I could use these analog switches with but they are optical so they will apparently have double the lifespan of a hundred million clicks versus a Cherry MX which has 50 million for example but even then I mean I think I'd be dead before I click to switch 50 million times and then the loss of the products we've got here from ores to check out is the k7 which is a little bit of a step down from the k9 not just in price but also they're using ABS caps as opposed to PBT and this time around the we've got a linear switch in here and Cherry MX red and the dampening effect is gone on this keyboard as opposed to the canine or even though I had the blue which is a different switch did feel like it had the dampening effect at the bottom of the key presses and you see here we've got a silver and black tone as opposed to the other one which had the black and black this here is still missing the media volume change and mute keys which I'd love to see them include on these keyboards as for the pricing the k7 is coming in at 149 Aussie dollars and 130 USD for the k9 it's 140 USD and in Australia hundred and seventy nine Aussie dollars so for a PBT keyboard I think the canine is pretty good the k7 is sort of right in there it's got RGB control but there's still some other keyboards out there off of the same things for the same price so I was really liking the canine with its extra feature set I just love to see them improve the software and the media keys and that have an absolute winner of a keyboard on their hands so now we're at conclusion time with the Auris peripherals and I gotta say I'm sitting here and I'm thinking wow some of these products are impressive but they just miss out on those minor details and I think if I don't know if this is or aces or gigabytes first and go that's sort of going deep into peripherals but if it is they've done a very good job the best product that came out of today's review is the m5 and now I I know if you're watching this dude you've got to plug this thing in it's actually very good to the point where the video editor here Yousef here's a palm gripper and he's got a pretty big hand and he uses the g4 o2 or should I say was using the g4 or two he's now switching to this he loves the mouse that much that he wants to use this as his main daily driver when I checked it out played some FPS with this thing it had a really good sense that the shape is amazing I like everything on this mouse on a hardware level when we're looking at the software of course that's the Achilles heel with Oris and all the peripherals here today I'd like to see them improve their software things like taking out a certain amount of dpi levels cuz I only need two of them in my mouse making the software work flawlessly fixing typos making things work correctly like the liftoff distance but you can in the software still change the necessities like the dpi levels and you can change them on horizontal and vertical and you can change the liftoff distance as well as changing the frequency which you'd either wanted to either five hundred or a thousand Hertz me personally I use it at five hundred Hertz now if you do want more in-depth reviews on mice and peripherals then I do recommend heading over to my good friend zyz channel rocketjump ninja he does very in-depth on reviews on peripherals me personally I do know what I want from peripherals but I may miss some details out so if I do make sure you guys let us know in the comment section below but this is the m2 here now this one is so close to being an absolute victory as well except the sensor for me personally that picsArt sensor they're using inside this just have that noticeable smoothing on it which affected me from choosing it over the Logitech I think the shape and the extra buttons on the right hand side as well as the omron switches and the actuation points on both these mice making them absolute winners but this one here the sensor is still inferior to that g1 or two so if a Oris can improve the sensor on this then they would have an absolute winner on their hands for I guess fingertip grippers but if you like a bit of smoothing and you just want a game on this thing and that's what you want to do since it is a gaming mouse then yeah I can recommend this one too and then we'll go over the canine which we took a look at before great keyboard just needs media keys and then the k7 that is a solid option as well but again both those keyboards need that overhauled software and then they would be really good too then the mousepad and the headset they just really didn't do much for me personally if that's your kind of thing and you're into that then maybe you might want to check it out but me personally I just think there's better mouse pads out there there's also better headsets so I'd like to see or ass drop the price of that headset and to do away with RGB it doesn't need to be on everything and even especially on a headset other than that the speakers on them are really good and so just focus on from the ground up the speakers and get them right the weight and the shape and everything on that and you'll have a winner in terms of the headset then the mousepad of course that's the hybrid they're going for that unique design but that really depends on the surface of the mouse and as we said here two of the four mice both from Logitech and Oris didn't really do well on that mouse pad to the other two did okay but I still much preferred a cloth mouse mat and I always have it doesn't get much better and so when you're getting to that level now in 2019 peripherals aren't getting a whole lot better and so there's not much room for improvement and so we are getting down to things like these videos where I am nit picking but that's because I already have gear on my desk that I'm so accustomed to and it does a very good job and I need it to do a good job otherwise you guys aren't gonna be getting the content out as much as it usually comes out and with that said I hope you enjoyed today's video if you did then be sure to hit that like button let us know in the comment section below what you think of the Auris jumping into the peripherals market they asked me to take a look at it and I did of course I really liked Horace's graphics cards gigabytes graphics cards their motherboards the BIOS hopefully they've done an overhaul on that but I'll take a look at that when they maybe got their X 5 70s coming out so stay tuned for that and with that said I'll catch you guys in another tech video very soon and if you enjoyed the content and often a wish to hit that sub button bell implication and if you want the inside scoop before it even hits YouTube's a loop check your city on Instagram love each and every one of you look forward to catching you in the next tech video peace out for now bye
