That is fair enough. It took me a while to get used to optical switches. But the Viper V3 Pro is the best optical implementation I've tried. As it feels and sounds great. I'm still not the biggest fan of GPX 2 optical switch feel.

Yes. Yes they are. lol

I don't know too much about those switches or relative cost. I see a keyboard as more holistic. Where the switches are only part of the picture. But you seem more knowledgeable so maybe it isn't a good deal. I get conflicting reports.

Really comes down to if you are fine with a wire or not. As the performance is going to be very similar. I believe the Wired version also has a better coating. There is also the new Hyperspeed variant V4 Hyperspeed? I think. Which has a slightly new shape and some improvements that may be worth getting instead. As it is wireless, while being cheaper, with slightly bumped specs (I think I'd double check as pulling from memory and haven't looked for a while).

I don't have that problem. So I'm not sure. Could probably just wipe it down with a microfiber cloth after each use.

I agree.

I completely agree.

I can't say I've ever experienced that. Also, you're the first comment I've heard of that. Are you sure your mouse isn't defective? Or something wrong with the lift off distance that may help with the skipping?

@@ThomasMuehler​​I was shocked too but i saw a hndful of reddit threads that experienced the same thing as well as razer forums

@@LoudMime Do keep in mind that people who aren't having problems aren't going to be searching for forums with a problem. So, when you see those types of forums you are seeing only people who have problems. Making it so if the number of people is small even in those forums that it is a very limited issue. The same can be said for reviews to a certain extent. Additionally, you could look at the same thing for Logitech and see if they have the same problems. But regardless I think that issue you are having is a defect. Which all products have at some percentage. You had bad luck. As did those other people. Which is why warranties exist. So that you can be guaranteed a working product. I'm not trying to diminish anything here either. Just simply trying to get a good perspective.

Would love to hear which one you go with and thoughts on it when you pick it up and try it out.

Yes. To explain fully. 1. He would have to have his PS5 ON at his house. Along with turning on the ability for remote play. 2. He would need to have a strong internet connection at his house. 3. At your house he would need to be connected to your network on his phone. Which would also have to be strong. 4. Then you should be able to use the application on the phone to connect to the PS5 and play remotely. However, with it going through the internet connection there would be some lag associated with it. But yes according to my understanding that should work just fine. If it works or does not work I would love to hear.

Is the north facing LED mostly from a sticking standpoint with third party keycaps?

@@ThomasMuehler I don't know since I don't know every thing about keyboards but all I know that people hate North facing leds so I decided to put it there But what I know is that there is no screws in this keyboard so it will be hard to mod this (not needed btw because there is not alot of mods you can do with it)

What type of grip would you like to see?

@@ThomasMuehler side grips

From the multiple times I weighed the mouse and the puck off camera it was less than a gram on average. Usually I only do a shot or two of B-Roll. Usually quickly. So if there was a discrepancy that would be why.

That is for sure frustrating. But thankfully, that is an easy fix. If I have to have a problem, I would like it to be an easy one. lol.

How dis you order the magnesium one?

Lmao. Yes, absolutely. I got that hilariously wrong. Diamonds, Hexagons. Totally the same thing, right? lol.

Totally fair.

What green cord are you talking about? The green cord on the headset above the earcups? Just connects both of them together for sound. The cord that has 1 male aux port that splits into to female aux ports just separates microphone and headphone for computers or things that accept that like shown in the video around 7:26 mark.

​@@ThomasMuehlerthe one on the headset

@@vNAZO So every headset has a wire that connects the left and right side as that allows the audio through. Along with helping match left/right audio. Otherwise, the drivers wouldn't get any signal. The green cable is just a stylized way to get that done. With it being coiled helps prevent it from breaking incase it gets caught on something.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll try and fix that. But most of that is automatic.

Good question. I get A LOT of comments on how their Logitech mice have developed double clicks. It is always a risk of mechanical switches. Also, geographical/climate are contributing factors making it better/worse. If you have concerns with that I would recommend going with the new one since it has hybrid optical switches where that shouldn't happen. Personally, I prefer optical switches. As won't develop double clicks and are faster. But tend to be louder and not feel as crisp as less moving parts (which is what makes them more robust). So there are trades. But I'm willing to take those trades for the benefits but that varies from person to person. I think it also depends on the price difference. Where if you can buy two of OG Superlight for 1 of the Superlight 2. I think they come with a 2 year warranty. Double clicks would be covered under warranty (assuming you live somewhere that accepts the warranty). That would give you four years of coverage for the same price. But the GPX 2 also has slightly better specs which may also help with your decision making. But again, this is all personal opinion with your own pros/cons list.

@@ThomasMuehler Alright thank you so much for replying, this helped alot!

@@ThomasMuehler Oh do you think the Sora v2 is worth getting instead of this?

@@Oxhamns I haven't tried the Sora V2. But I have heard other people I follow talk about it. Heard good things. Additionally, looking at the specs it seems like a lot better mouse. Great weight, 8,000 Hz, similar shape. A lot cheaper. I think it would be a lot better choice.

@@ThomasMuehlerAlrighty thank you again!

Would love to hear your opinion on it once you get it in.

Sounds incredibly frustrating. Instead of stopping gaming why don't you just buy a mouse with optical switches instead of mechanical? Assuming you still want to game.

@@ThomasMuehler yep I might get a new mouse, can you suggest me a good budget mouse that comes with optical switches… I’m thinking to get Razer viper but the problem is they have 3 different Razer Vipers.

@@nuzzky Unfortunately, I tend to focus on the top-end mice. So, I don't have a lot of knowledge to pull from when it comes to budget mice. I think all of the Razer "pro line" of mice have been optical for a long time. They have slowly improved in time with each generation. If you were to buy an OG Viper or the Viper V2 Pro you could probably get it quite cheap ($60 - $80). Or if you wait for a sale you could probably get one of their modern flagships (I think the Viper V3 Pro is the best mouse on the market right now) for an acceptable price. But probably more than you would want. As I'd imagine closer to the 100 if on a great sale but closer to 120 - 130 mark. Neither are "budget" category. All the other mice that I can think of off the top of my head are either not very good, use mechanical, or have strange shapes. And again "budget" mice are my specialty. Because I'm a moron who tends to buy the expensive things.

@@ThomasMuehler no issues brother.. btw thanks for replying & your content is awesome 🙌🏼

@@nuzzky Another comment mentioned the Ninjutso Sora V2, which is $99. Looks really good for the price. Has Omron Optical Switches. May be worth looking into.

No. Only argument I could make, which is an exceedingly poor one, is optical is maybe faster (because light travels fast) and I think less prone to interference? But I think at that length would be negligible if at all noticeable.

Oh no! That's terrible. But the comment is hilarious. Sorry for your bad luck there.

Honestly, that's complete personal opinion. I think I tried to lay out my reasoning in this video. Personally, I would go with the GPX 2. But can make a lot of arguments on why that isn't the best option.

Oh man that sounds horrible. Glad you found your fix. It is definitely one of those that anytime you can minimize the amount of chains (in this case that adapter) the better. As you just run into less problems. As its pretty crazy how much tech is packed into a port or cable these days to get things working right. The amount of time I've spent looking at an adapter to just give up because it doesn't support anything is a lot. lol.

I've heard good things consistently about the Apex Pro.

Appreciate the constructive criticism.

There are a lot of Turtle Beaches that are not worth their money. That's for sure.

@ThomasMuehler the volume control for main audio and voice chat never worked honestly the only thing that worked on my headset was the mute and everytime you turn them on they're at a different audio level. I never know if it's going to be a quiet game or if I'm going to be deaf afterwards 😅

@@relaxation2380 That is crazy. That's so many things that shouldn't be an issue at all. lol. But it adds some spice to life. So there is that.

@@ThomasMuehler yeah I just bought the A30s and haven't used the turtle beaches since

@@relaxation2380 I can see why.

What do you mean by confused about 8 GB of RAM? At this point I would recommend a minimum of 16 GB of RAM. I do not recommend 8 GB at all anymore. Thankfully, we are in a good spot from a laptop perspective as we are having a "MacBook M1" moment with Windows PCs. Put very simply, new laptops with new CPUs are coming out that are more powerful, while being more energy efficient leading to much longer battery life and are coming with a minimum of 16 GB of RAM. While they are around the $1000 - $1500 mark (don't know how that translates in your country) I think are worth the investment. And more importantly, think there will be a lot of sales as all the big players are going to be pushing them hard so you probably will be able to grab one for a lot less than that on a sale. They will last you at least 5 - 10 years at least. Depending on how demanding you are on your PC. With you going into University and if you can afford it, investing in a nice laptop will help you a lot. As you'll not have to worry as much about plugging it in for power along with just having a lot better user experience. But unfortunately, money dictates a lot. Where if you can't afford to do that then you can't do it. I'd be looking at the Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 (13 or 15 inch version) with the Snapdragon Plus/Elite processor. But there are some problems with that. Whereas, the new one from AMD is the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX370 with the last bit there being HX3xx (meaning they have say HX365, HX370, HX375). As those processors are 100% the future. And will also unlock more AI features which may or may not actually be something neat in the future. But also think that can help with the learning process. As you can bounce back and fourth with it to get better understanding of concepts. You can do that on a normal PC too though.

@@ThomasMuehler I found a laptop based on your recommendations for 650$. Lenovo thinkbook 14 Processor: Core ultra 5 120H Graphics: Intel Arc Ram: 16gb ddr5 6400Mhz Ssd: 512gb Screen: 14.0 IPS What do you think? It is worth buying or not?

​@@khashimovsamin I can't give a good opinion. The problem with laptops, is that so much varies from laptop to laptop, making it exceedingly difficult to say how good/bad a laptop is without actually testing it. To explain that further, most laptops have the same specs. However, depending on how the manufacturer makes that laptop those same specs can vary significantly in performance. This change is mostly due to better/worse cooling and different voltages. Usually (and this is simplifying) the higher the voltage the better the performance. Last, with laptops software can actually change things quite a bit too. Core Ultra is the newer version which is good. But I think the 5 125H is more middle of the line. But based on benchmarks performance isn't all the big. Additionally, with a less powerful CPU (that still performs nearly the same) it should give you better battery life. 16 GB of RAM is always better than 8 GB. Especially, as time goes on that difference becomes even more important. But the next problem with laptops that I think is more important than performance. As despite my explanation above, most laptops, more or less perform the same. Making it not the deal breaker when choosing one. Obviously asterisks associated with that but not at the price range you are talking about. Which brings me back to my point of how good is the keyboard, screen, cooling, build quality, trackpad. As a lot of laptops suck at all of those categories which makes using the machine lackluster and frustrating. But if you are using external stuff (mouse, keyboard, screen) then it matters less. And that is the biggest thing with me not being able to tell you about that laptop. Is I just haven't felt it so I don't know how it feels from that end and is the main thing of why I recommend this laptop. Is because it nails those aspects. Hopefully, that all made sense. If not, please let me know, or if you have any additional questions. I will say that price, seems acceptable for the specs.

A true Deathadder fan! I think you would certainly enjoy it if you even find a good price and/or are able to trade for it. But I totally get you. Gaming and peripherals are expensive. But thankfully, if you've got something that works you don't need to upgrade (except for PCs since that kind of has a diminishing return if you keep playing the latest titles. But if you are playing a single game and it works then you're good). I've had to back way off as well.

In general it seems like smaller mice are a part of the market that is underserved. But from some of the random internals that I see from companies the “small” variants are also their worst sellers. Which makes me wonder if people just aren’t aware or it is a small percentage of individuals that are just quite vocal. I thought I heard the new Deathadder V3 hyperspeed is slightly smaller. Which makes me think the Deathadder V4 Pro will have the same shape and be slightly smaller. And the DAV3 is was slightly smaller than the DAV2. Yes, I would agree that the top-tier gaming mice (S-Tier as I call it) are all essentially the same. I think the closest to a “break through” which I use loosely here, is higher polling rate and with Razer have it automatically switch from 1,000 Hz (or lower/higher) on desktop compared to (8,000 higher/lower) while gaming. Along with adjustable LOD and Landing Distance. But again. All of those are so small that they are practically meaningless. I’m honestly not sure where they will go from here. As we are in an exceedingly good place right now. A lot of mice with excellent performance, shape, sizes, weights, and costs. I think the only company that has “stable” 8K is Razer. I think everyone else is still stuck at 4,000 Hz. Unless if I’m incorrect (which is very possible as I haven’t been keeping my hand on the pulse like I used to). Also, the difference between 8K and 4K is pretty minimal. And I think could be well argued not worth the trade for the instability and battery drain. I agree the 50 G max acceleration is a bit of a bummer. I would expect better with the 750 IPS. So, I’m wondering if that is an accurate spec or not. I guess I don’t see 54 grams to be heavier either. Seeing as most of the main mice (that you can buy in normal brick and motar stores) are around that. With only a few exceptions being <50 much less <40 grams. And usually the trade for that is lower build quality and inner components on the ones that do offer that. And certainly are not a solid shell, with Bluetooth, dongle placement, dpi adjustment, RGB, that you find on this. But I totally get your hesitation and I don’t think I would buy this one if I already had excellent mice. But if I was looking for a new mouse or a smaller DAV3 Pro I think it would be a good choice based on how well they did holistically on feel and performance. But I would keep an eye on Asus. As they seem to be focusing on the right things. So I’m interested to see what they make in the future.

Love you actually giving reasoning behind your thoughts. Thats help. Thank you very much.

You pose a great question. I'm not sure why. The best thing to do is look out for sales. Or buy the last generation, especially on a sale. As usually those are right around that $70 mark.

Interestingly enough I learned that depending on geographical location you're more likely or less likely to develop double clicks. I think it was due to heat, humidity, and maybe dust? Regardless, that is super frustrating. What are your thoughts on optical switches?

@@ThomasMuehler Im not gaming en PC anymore, currently I use a g305, a M575 and a M720 for general use so far so good. I have a GPX 1 I bought last year on black fridah sale and I just bought a g303 Shroud renewed for 45 bucks. But since The MX518 a bunch of Logis, Deathadders and Steelseries have failed me, all with Omrons.

@@diegomireles Well hopefully you won't run into any more troubles.

🤣

Great question. 1. One thing I really enjoyed about the Viper V3 Pro is that you can have 1,000 Hz on the desktop and then higher hertz (2,000/4,000/8,000 Hz) once you open a game. Which is a nice quality of life improvement. 2. With the V3 Pro it came with the hyper polling dongle. Meaning if you don’t already own one you “save” money by waiting as it should also be included with the DAV4 Pro. That is speculation though. 3. Additionally, if you look at the new DAV3 Hyperspeed it has a slightly new shape, I think? Which means the V4 will have that new shape (most likely). So, depending on which shape you prefer that could be a good or bad thing. 4. Last, on my Viper V3 Pro and according to reviews (as I haven't tested the Deathadder V3 Hyperspeed) the clicks are the best they have been. With them feeling very crisp, but not being as loud as optical switches tend to be. Also, the coating is slightly better. I would expect the DAV4 Pro to be released in probably like 6 months? As it seems like that is kind of their schedule. But ALL of this is speculation on my part. If I’m right all of those are more quality of life improvements that may or may not be worth waiting for. As assuming they don’t do anything horrifically wrong all of these mice are “S-Tier” (highest tier you can get). And you can’t go wrong with any of them. As at this level it comes down to splitting hairs and personal preferences. Personally, if I had a mouse that I enjoyed right now I would wait.

Only thing I am aware of is making sure the wireless dongle is plugged into the PC. If it is already plugged into the PC try removing it and then plugging it back in again. Otherwise, I'm not sure.

That is the stock keycap set that comes with the keyboard.

@@ThomasMuehler OH my bad, I meant to say the keycaps that appear at 5:55, the ones on the middle of the board.

@@fejotore That makes more sense. lol. My bad. I believe they are the Glorious Aura V2 Keycaps.

As in you would prefer higher lift of distance (LOD)? I think you can adjust that a bit in the software. Not sure how much that would help though.

@@ThomasMuehler it was one of my favorite shapes, the sensor placement itself was just too far down for me. I feel like the sensor placement is below the middle of the mouse

@@mikekonkola1231 Gotcha. I had a 50/50 shot and guessed wrong. That's fair. I usually don't have much problems with sensor placement. But with the Viper V3 Hyperspeed being way towards the front it messed me up good. But then I was saved with the Viper V3 Pro moving back to center. As I liked that shape a lot. Having a mouse that is nearly perfect except for the sensor is frustrating. As it really does make a big difference if you're aware of it.

@@ThomasMuehler can I ask what mouse you are using at the moment. I have like 25 different mice at the moment and I feel like none of them fit me perfect lol

@@mikekonkola1231 I swap back and fourth between the Razer Viper MIni Signature Edition (which is probably one of my absolute favorites of all time. I love the scroll wheel on it along with the magnesium alloy), the Razer Viper V3 Pro (really enjoy the new shape, new sensor settings that allow different browsing and gaming hertz for battery life, coating, button feel, button sound, scroll wheel, in general feel like they "perfected" this mouse, or at least my copy, assuming you like their variant of things. By that I mean switches, scroll wheel tightness, etc), and the Finalmouse Ultralight X. Recently got the Aceu edition. Much prefer it over the stock as better coating, primary clicks, and scroll wheel. It doesn't creak so tighter tolerances. But mostly like the Ultralight X because the weight is just incredible. I just wish the quality assurance was as good as my Viper V3 Pro. So those are my main three and have been for a long time. I also have a Deathadder V3 Pro, Superlight 2, ROG Aeris II (that I prefer over the DAV3 and Superlight 2), and Razer Basilisk V3 Pro (that I like to use for normal browsing due to shape, buttons, aesthetics as the RGB is incredible on it, and infinite scroll wheel). If I could only pick one though. Man, I don't know which one I'd go with out of the three mentioned in the first paragraph. I think I'd go with the Viper V3 Pro. Best of the best specs (literally #1), with an awesome shape, and overall feel, comes with a 8k dongle, great battery life, and backed by Razer warranty making it more available globally. So I think it is the most bang for your buck (comparatively to the other options). I think the Viper SE is just simply too expensive to be worth it. Ultralight X while great is filled with too much exclusivity (along with Viper SE) with too much risk of not getting a flawless copy and Finalmouse's warranty (the process of it) is highly questionable. Making it a big risk. Same with the Viper Mini SE as just the cost and if you don't like the shape and all that is a ton of money gone. Even though I'm sure resell is great. But you can easily get rid of the Viper V3 Pro. But at this point between those three mice I'm not even interested in others. As they just nailed it. It will take something really unique or interesting for me to go looking again. Also, just so the record is clear. I do not recommend buying multiple premium tiered gaming mice. All of the ones I mentioned are S-Tier. Except for Superlight. I put that in the A-Tier. Can go into that reasoning at another time if you want. So you can't go wrong with any of them. Additionally, I think for the mass majority of people they don't need a $150 or more mouse to perform to their level. Gaming mice can be a money sink for sure. There is diminishing returns very quickly. But with that said, if I were only going to ever buy one mouse, I'd personally buy a premium tiered one. As from my own personal experience I've found going with one of the bests on the market tends to be the most cost effective. As you get an excellent product that lasts for a long time, that holds its performance and can't be outshadowed for a long time, while also giving you the best experience, which makes me NOT curious about what else is out there as I'm fully satisfied. Meaning I won't go spending money trying a bunch of things to find what works and what doesn't. So it is cheaper for ME. Because I'm a moron who likes to try everything first hand and make my own opinions on things. But that is not a good or smart way to go about things with limited funds.

That's strange. I'm not sure why that happened. Sorry to hear it.
