That could be the case for some companies but what he's doing is consuming and digesting data to then lay out in a more attractive manner for the consumer Edit: His implementation of testing rigs is also a very welcome way of measuring and visualizing improvements
Yeah me too, would also be cool to see them in action with a 360hz refresh rate monitor or that one with 390hz. Or maybe with the upcoming 500hz monitors
Really interesting. The Input/Output topic has always felt missing to me. Having greater and greater speed of processing with better CPU/GPU and delivering the results on faster refresh monitors, is all Output, so I'm happy to see you discuss Input and the effects of syncing both sides of the user experience. I wonder how fast and effortless we can go before needing to change the whole IO ecosystem.
Probably soon. Microsoft is surely aware of some of the inefficiencies of IO that need to be rethought at 8k polling rates, especially on modern hardware.
@@laeiounMicrosoft shadow dropped an update over the past year to change the scheduling in how often it checks for mouse input to solve the issue of cpu usage with higher polling mice. Not sure if that’s the best way to word what they did but it solve the stuttering issue I was having.
I really love the science and the effort that goes into making these videos where you back up your opinion with scientific proof. Keep doing what you do! You really are doing all of us gamers such a massive favour and you deserve all the respect and support for it.
This explains why my new DAv3 pro not only feels wildly smooth but makes games look and feel smoother at 4k polling. On 240hz everything just feels smoother compared to my GPX. Logitech needs to get back in the lab and get new sensor tech now.
Honestly, if you enjoy the ergo shape that the DAv3 has, stick to it. I don't have it yet, but it looks like the ergo mouse to have for the next few years. 4000HZ 63G Wireless Ergo is just insane to me, and as a Pulsar Xlite V2 Wireless fan I am excited to try it.
Razer has exclusive rights with Pixart for about a year or so with the new sensor so it may be a while before we see something from Logitech with this new tech, looking forward to it tho, props to Razer for pushing innovation.
@@stevetriple8 Logitech makes their own sensors. Razer having exclusivity doesn't matter to them. However actual competition will hopefully drive them to make something new.
@@stevetriple8 That´s not entirely true tho. Pixart has motion-sync in their latest PAW3395 which is open for any company to use. Pulsar X2 Sym for example is already released and has motion-sync. They have even done it possible to enable/disable it in their software. Endgame gear XM2w which seems to take ages to be released uses PAW3395 and was prob the first product to spotlight this feature on their product page. Meanwhile it´s true that Razer has a partnership with Pixart, this tends more to get them their owned tweaked versions of "insert named" sensors. 3399 is basicly their unique touch on the 3395 and so on. Meanwhile Logitech also has had this partnership with Pixart for years and they actually had the 3366 for about a year locked to them before 3360 was released through other company´s products. But that´s not the case for the 3395 and it´s motion-sync feature. As Logitech did alot of the work and research to make the 3366(3360) and later on understood that Pixart would sell it to every company out there, they started to make their own sensors "HERO - High Efficiency Rating Optical". But in the case of Razer i would say they fall more or less in the same category as other brands like Steelseries "Truemove" or Roccat´s "Owl-Eye". Sure you would see some higher DPI and special features here and there, but in the long run the hardware comes from Pixart and is based on a sensor they sell. It´s more about custom firmware & software that seperates them.
No one is making such detailed reviews about tech that we gamers care about. Thank you for putting so much time and effort into your videos, They're really fun to watch.
The main difference would definitely be the input delay. Old mice had very low refresh rates of around 125hz or even lower. The original Razer Viper maxed out at 125hz in 2004.
I love that you're showing the differences between mice brands and model than just looks and feel although they're more important as you've said. I really appreciate this in-depth look/review about product features rather than just skin deep review! much respect for the time and effort you put into this!
I love that you investigated this stuff @Optimum Tech! This stuff also amazes me. Another thing to look into is apparently the implementation of motion sync. There's been word that even the hardware-based 3395 sensor with motion sync module on, can even add 1ms of input delay if not implemented correctly. Apparently not as easy as slapping a 3995 and turning on motion sync without issues. Great video!
I'm very resistant to common marketing and ads, almost never ad or promo with their BS attraction strategy will lure me into buying unless I very carefully read technical specs, but these detailed technical videos from optimum tech with accurate testing...man, I'm "shut up and take my money" every time by the end
Hats off for your content: so professional, nice visualization with the clean graphs plus explaining, high quality b-roll shots etc. And plus points for being a tech youtuber who can actually game really well.
I agree that mice have all been going the same place, especially with the bigger companies. I'm currently using a pulsar xlite wireless and I'd honestly never think about changing it. There's just nothing else like it in terms of form factor in the market.
this guy really doesnt just ramble on about paper specs but put them to his own tests... wow this is proper well thought out content right here well done my guy u deserve where u are in this space
razer has really changed and improved as a brand ever since they started listening to the modding community. I love that they sell doubleshot keycaps now, custom power cables, and super light mice. The brand went from a cheap gimickey brand to a top quality brand. Obviously they'll never have keyboards as good as the super expensive custom ones but they're still high end.
honestly the fact that they were a cheap gimmicky brand was the main reason I stayed away from their mice until the release of their Viper V2 pro. It seemed like a step up from the rest of the mice out there, now also being 4k Hz compatable makes it even more impressive. Sadly the mouse isn't quite the fit for me, I have medium hands so large mice generally feel comfortable but small mice feel like they offer more control with a little less comfort depending on the shape and size. If they put out a Mini, It would probably have a good chance of becoming my new main.
@@basedkat haven't tried it, but from reviews and comparisons i'd say the 60he is better only minor complaint i've seen is the spring weight but you can just get lighter springs if you want
I'm a dota player who started from Logitech G604, changed to G603. G502, MX Master 3, Razer Viper Ultimate, Logitech G Pro Wilress Superlight, Razer V2 Pro and finally Deathadder V3 Pro. Of all these, the one I have used the longest is the G502 because the shape is very comfortable in my hand. Yes, the G502 has a double click issue, but it can be solved by replacing the switch at a cost of 5 dollars. I still use the G502 today as a travel mouse. I still use the MX Master 3 as a work mouse. The Razer Viper ultimate lasted for 4 months with 3 replacements due to QC issues and defects until I finally sold it to my friend. Two thumbs up for Razer for the guarantee of unlimited new replacement throughout the warranty period, one thumbs down for the QC of Viper Ultimate. In terms of feel, weight, shape, and super convenient dock charging station, the Razer Viper Ultiamte provides a new sensation for me who started from heavy mice. If there were no issues with QC, maybe until now I would still be using the Razer Viper Ultimate. From RVU I briefly switched to the Logitech G Pro superlight which I thought was good, but too and the market was plain in terms of shape and size. I prefer the shape of the Viper Ultimate which gives a fiercer impression when used. Not long after that I bought a used Razer Viper V2 Pro and I found that for the same shape as the Viper ultimate, the RVV2Pro gave the impression of being too hollow and too light to use. The RVV2Pro lasted less than 2 weeks before I finally decided to buy the Razer Deathadder V3 Pro. And damn, this is the best gaming mouse I've ever used so far. Maybe it would be replaced if Logitech released the G502 Superlight with a maximum weight of 75 grams, but once again the feel, shape and form of the DAV3Pro really, really made an extraordinary impression on me who had it. playing PC games for more than decades with various mice that I have used. And the good news is that so far there have not been any issues related to QC or defects on the unit I use (Finger Crossed). Even if there is, I am still confident that Razer Indonesia is still committed to providing an unlimited 2 year warranty for replacement new units. The DAV3Pro is expensive, it doesn't have a charging station, it doesn't have many side buttons, but the shape and feel of this mouse can't be found in many other gaming mice out there. This is the first time I am writing a review of this length because I think this mouse deserves praise. Well done Razer, keep up making good products and satisfying us as gamers. But maybe next time would you please lower the price? Cheers!

Watched your desk setup video the other day and now I suddenly have a Zaunkoenig M2K being delivered to me, despite never hearing about it until I clicked on your video.
Ever since I have tried razer's wireless mice with the focus sensor, it always felt "snappier" but people told me it was placebo. When I read the motionsync info on their page it seemed like it played a part. Good to know that there's actually a performance difference.
I agree that the Razer mouse is now responsive and also the best sensor of the competition. I've been using Viper Ultimate for 2 years and never had any issues like lag or double clicks.
wireless or wired mouse the difference is only milliseconds. Razer Viper 8K Hz is good for FPS but Razer Viper Ultimate is also good. for Razer Viper 8K Hz you must have a high end pc spec. I recommend the Razer Viper Ultimate Mercury (V2 Switch Mouse) for you.
Wow that’s wild. I really hope Logitech comes out with an updated G Pro X Superlight sometime soon to compete. I hate having to use micro usb to charge it, and I’d appreciate the better sensor resolution.
@@idkwhatname3133 So we shouldn't want improvements in the performance of our hardware because some people might not notice the improvement? That's a pretty weak opinion. The cumulative effect of multiple improvements like this can have an impact that is noticeable to a lot of people. Faster grey-to-grey response times and higher refresh rates won't help everyone, and perhaps lower latency and higher sensor resolution won't help everyone either, but I see no reason to suppress these improvements. If you want a cheap mouse that may hinder your performance, then you can buy one. When I upgrade my mouse every few years, I'd rather buy one that's objectively better than the last.
If I'm following correctly, according to some Razer folks on different forums (Blur Busters I recall specifically) Motion Sync works up to 4k and comes on any of the Razer 20k (3399) sensor mice or higher but it's harder to see the higher the polling rate.
You should make a video about gaming sleeves. I was a bit sceptical when I picked one up but it made my aim really consistent because my hand doesn't stick to the mouse pad anymore, this was very frustrating for arm aiming.
@@DankMemes-xq2xm Yeah i mean the video has nothing to do with wireless mice if he did the same test it would be very similar so this comment is just not correct lol
@@Dylbert he literally said in the video that the jitter is something that affects wireless mice, which implies that it doesn't affect wired mice, and it also doesn't affect the new razer wireless mice because they fixed the issue. So Nostalgic is saying he noticed a difference between wireless mice and wired mice because the wireless mice he used doesn't have the fix that razer uses.
Careful, I have this mouse and it suffers from the same problem many razer mice do which is problems with the scroll wheel/double clicking and I've only had it since March. Somehow Razer has not fixed this problem after years and years...
@@Chaosball-wc1kk Double-clicking is an issue with the switches being used. Many mice use the OMRON D2FC-F-7N switch and it is known to cause double-clicking eventually.
@@shooternerd It's definitely not, look up anything to do with Razer mice, it happens to them all at some point whether it's 3 months or 3 years. How long have you had your mouse and which one?
For the slide @8:02, it's less about how recent the polled data is compared to the display timing (@240Hz in our example), but how recent it is with respect to the frame's calculation and rendering. It's a stacking of latencies; the display will use the latest frame rendered (which for eSports could be anywhere from 1-4ms old depending on the game and your CPU+GPU), and that frame calculation will use the latest input it received. Still gives you basically the same conclusion, just a bit more complete. (And technically both the OS and driver you're using are also involved and can add latency between frame rendering and display presentation as well... :( ) For those wondering, a lot of games will calculate frames as quickly as possible and simply not display the ones that are out-of-date by the time the display refresh interval comes around (known as triple buffering), and some sophisticated engines will try to delay the frame calculation until the last possible moment to try to get it to time up well with the display refresh timing.
I've been wondering for months... Why is is that when I go to flick, around 20% of the time my cursor stops WAY too early then keeps going, or just stops overall, why is this? I don't know. I've never thrown my mouse, slammed it, nothing to make the sensor act up. Looks like ill be switching from my G Pro Superlight, to Razer when they release that prototype Tarik has. The way it seems now is that G Pro Superlight is like a 60hz monitor, switching to Razer would be like upgrading to 144hz. Anyways great video, thank you for this.
I know the mice aren't in the same class with super lights, but I'd be curious if Corsair's 2000hz wireless can compensate for the missing sensor consistency with brute force excess. Interested in that 4k testing for the same curiosity.
As the others I would not have thought so much tech would go into a mouse. Do you consider launching your own brand of hardware at some point? Is that T1 in the back the aircooled build you've shown us or the newer build? 😉
Would like to see these tests on the new Logitech G502 X. Marketing says they've really improved Lightspeed to a huge degree as compared to the last gen.
Love your content Optimum but u can’t say the mices recently have been boring when you haven’t even tried the new pulsar X2, Lamzu Atlantis or perhaps the Fantech Aria
The explanations and supporting graphics are insane on this. Really helps visualize what the differences are between what Razer has been offering versus most other companies.
I don't think razers tech is as consistent, which is my problem. Me and multiple of my friends would consistently experience "hiccups" where our mouse would LOCK itself at the look straight down position for 4-5 seconds in the middle of a match. This is why I went with shroud edition.
What about real life tests? Like: is it actually better for aiming, for example? If you give those two mice to several pro players, would one group perform better than the other?
no they wouldnt. a lot of best "aimers" in cs go still play on 500hz instead of 1k/4k/8k etc... razer "tech" wont even make them 1% better especially in the short term where they have to get used to the mouse shape/sensor placement. So yea... on paper its better but you should always go for shape over weight/high polling rate.
The problem of Razer's wireless product is the stability I bought a Razer Pro Type and it ruined my work. Always found it disconnect. And the wake up is slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
80% of the pros in Valorant and CSGO still use the GPX superlight. It’s a good all rounded mouse with a shape that’s pretty universal for most. The other 20% would consist of Starlight, Vaxee, Zowie, Razor, Fnatic if you’re lucky to spot one. In Apex and COD it’s the same - of at least 5 pro’s I’ve seen it’s either the Starlight, GPX and now more recently Lamzu. This just tells you the majority are not interested in Razor and haven’t it does not necessarily make the player “a Pro” just because of polling rates or latency which is hardly picked up by the human eye. What does make the biggest difference is the shape, as muscle memory will work best with a mouse you are comfortable using in hand vs forcing your grip to a shape that doesn’t work for you. FYI that’s where Razor is. The shape is okay for those who haven’t really tested other brands in the market.
These mices are very complicated in my opinion. Once you plug them then, you have to find the right sensitivity and movement speed. I miss having a mouse that is plug and play and it's just good the way it is. That's how my 2013 Deathadder was
Its not that complicated. That just means the mouse you have shape and weight wise isnt for you. If you like the deathadder, you want to look for ergo mice like pulsar xlite or zowie ec2.
literal EMI with wireless tech. If you dont play with WIFI on your PC then you shouldn't be so willing to do the same with a mouse even if the distance is closer. You can't measure errors nor retransmissions of data. Those spikes and dips in polling data is literally caused by interference. It can happen with wired cables too (just way less though). Shielded cables be it ethernet cords, or actual mouse/keyboard cords can be way more performant.
@@riba2233 can you prove otherwise ? because what I said is undeniably true. Why do you think 1-4khz wireless is unstable in a lot of environments? Is it magic? Please, you have no background in tech if you say bs. Only an idiot would deny the facts.
They may be pushing mouse tech forward but you are pushing forward the way consumers test and verify all the marketing hype that gets thrown at us. And that I would argue is just as important. Thank you 😎
It makes sense. And I SHOULD be loving it...but I feel as though motion sync becomes a hindrance when making micro adjustments. It almost feels like my crosshair is doing what it things I want to do rather than what I'm actually trying to do.
from my understanding razer was selling the 4k dongles at cost when they first released (as they were supposed to ship with the V2 but they werent ready yet).
Very great video man. I discovered you a couple months ago from some monitor comparisons getting me that beautiful DyAc 240 monitor, and I continue to get blown away by your knowledge and science and hard work for these videos. Keep it up mate 👍
I had to switch to Logi because my Deathadder V2 Pro Wireless in 2.4 interferes with my phone and airpods. No issues with my new Pro Superlight. Not saying Logi is better, just pointing out an issue I've had with my own wireless setup.

If you want a cheap mouse that may hinder your performance, then you can buy one. When I upgrade my mouse every few years, I'd rather buy one that's objectively better than the last.
@@idkwhatname3133 ur brain got motion blur
@@idkwhatname3133 when I played competitively I played with a 30$ mouse and a dining room chair lmao. Having better peripherals isn’t a sin 😜
If I'm following correctly, according to some Razer folks on different forums (Blur Busters I recall specifically) Motion Sync works up to 4k and comes on any of the Razer 20k (3399) sensor mice or higher but it's harder to see the higher the polling rate.
I can always identify your videos by their very unique thumbnails, great work!
You should make a video about gaming sleeves. I was a bit sceptical when I picked one up but it made my aim really consistent because my hand doesn't stick to the mouse pad anymore, this was very frustrating for arm aiming.
Wireless mice always felt off to me when I compared them to wired. I knew it wasn’t a latency issue too. This makes so much sense.
This has nothing to do with wired mice lol
@@Dylbert read his comment again
@@DankMemes-xq2xm Yeah i mean the video has nothing to do with wireless mice if he did the same test it would be very similar so this comment is just not correct lol
I mean if he did same test with wired
@@Dylbert he literally said in the video that the jitter is something that affects wireless mice, which implies that it doesn't affect wired mice, and it also doesn't affect the new razer wireless mice because they fixed the issue. So Nostalgic is saying he noticed a difference between wireless mice and wired mice because the wireless mice he used doesn't have the fix that razer uses.
How do you not have over a million subscribers!!!?
Very interesting video, I always feel something is different with my Aria than my Tenz, not the weight nor the shape, more likely the sensor.
The fantech aria is the most interesting one of them all IMO
Can't wait to get my hands on it
This is interesting, never knew mice had motion sync... Will def be looking to get a razor mouse as my next upgrade
It’s spelled “R Λ Z Ξ R”
Careful, I have this mouse and it suffers from the same problem many razer mice do which is problems with the scroll wheel/double clicking and I've only had it since March. Somehow Razer has not fixed this problem after years and years...
@@Chaosball-wc1kk never had these problems with Razer could just be a Quality Control Problem
@@Chaosball-wc1kk Double-clicking is an issue with the switches being used. Many mice use the OMRON D2FC-F-7N switch and it is known to cause double-clicking eventually.
@@shooternerd It's definitely not, look up anything to do with Razer mice, it happens to them all at some point whether it's 3 months or 3 years.
How long have you had your mouse and which one?
Also 4K and 8k polling can affect cpu usage and would be important to look into
if there would be a razer viper v2 pro mini with 50g, then i would main it. but the normal viper is just to big and flat for me
Fingers crossed for a Viper V2 Pro Wireless Mini.
I mean there's the SE
For the slide @8:02, it's less about how recent the polled data is compared to the display timing (@240Hz in our example), but how recent it is with respect to the frame's calculation and rendering. It's a stacking of latencies; the display will use the latest frame rendered (which for eSports could be anywhere from 1-4ms old depending on the game and your CPU+GPU), and that frame calculation will use the latest input it received. Still gives you basically the same conclusion, just a bit more complete. (And technically both the OS and driver you're using are also involved and can add latency between frame rendering and display presentation as well... :( )
For those wondering, a lot of games will calculate frames as quickly as possible and simply not display the ones that are out-of-date by the time the display refresh interval comes around (known as triple buffering), and some sophisticated engines will try to delay the frame calculation until the last possible moment to try to get it to time up well with the display refresh timing.
Can't stress enough how I love your approach to reviewing gaming tech, data driven analysis with minimalistic editing just.. *chef's kiss* 👌
I've been wondering for months... Why is is that when I go to flick, around 20% of the time my cursor stops WAY too early then keeps going, or just stops overall, why is this? I don't know. I've never thrown my mouse, slammed it, nothing to make the sensor act up. Looks like ill be switching from my G Pro Superlight, to Razer when they release that prototype Tarik has. The way it seems now is that G Pro Superlight is like a 60hz monitor, switching to Razer would be like upgrading to 144hz. Anyways great video, thank you for this.
It's just not enough to justify me buying a new mouse unfortunately...but it's cool to see the mouse brands innovating.
What mouse do you have
@@agsechogd6406 g pro superlight
i got the viper mini , waiting for the ultimate version ... patiently
great video as always :)
have you tested if there is a kind of "smoother" curve on the g pro if you use it on 500 hz?
This is so high quality in terms of visuals and data.
I know the mice aren't in the same class with super lights, but I'd be curious if Corsair's 2000hz wireless can compensate for the missing sensor consistency with brute force excess.
Interested in that 4k testing for the same curiosity.
Such an amazing work and explanation. This is the reason why I'm subscribed to this gentleman.
Doesn't the 3395 also have motionsync? Would love a comparison.
I'm curious because my XM1r (3370) also has MotionSync that can be enabled
G-Wolves just released a 4k hz wireless mouse. Would love to see you test that
Your content is unmatched. Very well done. The research, the presentation, the effort, it's all so well executed.
your videos on these subjects are such high quality
As the others I would not have thought so much tech would go into a mouse. Do you consider launching your own brand of hardware at some point? Is that T1 in the back the aircooled build you've shown us or the newer build? 😉
Great video! Thank you for making these beautifal charts, they inspired me so much.
This is incredible, thank you for making this
Really enjoy your reviews. Backed with data and testing instead of others who just say, it "feels good" or has a "good shape".
Why even use small mouse for large hands? Can't really compare ergo to ambidextrous
Would like to see these tests on the new Logitech G502 X. Marketing says they've really improved Lightspeed to a huge degree as compared to the last gen.
How to spot an idiot: "marketing" "says".
@@gdgd5194 And he isnt wrong. 502 are among the popular muce and the X is well recieved
Incredible video. SO MUCH DETAIL!
Love your content Optimum but u can’t say the mices recently have been boring when you haven’t even tried the new pulsar X2, Lamzu Atlantis or perhaps the Fantech Aria
6:43 He's aware
Yea thats not gonna change anything lmao its still technically within spec with what was discussed.
The explanations and supporting graphics are insane on this. Really helps visualize what the differences are between what Razer has been offering versus most other companies.
woah the motion sync thing sounds INSANE. Optimum Tech is in a league of his own in mice testing and finding the TRUE ABSOLUTE BEST of them 💯💯💯
I don't think razers tech is as consistent, which is my problem. Me and multiple of my friends would consistently experience "hiccups" where our mouse would LOCK itself at the look straight down position for 4-5 seconds in the middle of a match. This is why I went with shroud edition.
What about real life tests?
Like: is it actually better for aiming, for example? If you give those two mice to several pro players, would one group perform better than the other?
yes
no they wouldnt. a lot of best "aimers" in cs go still play on 500hz instead of 1k/4k/8k etc... razer "tech" wont even make them 1% better especially in the short term where they have to get used to the mouse shape/sensor placement. So yea... on paper its better but you should always go for shape over weight/high polling rate.
The problem of Razer's wireless product is the stability
I bought a Razer Pro Type and it ruined my work.
Always found it disconnect.
And the wake up is slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
80% of the pros in Valorant and CSGO still use the GPX superlight. It’s a good all rounded mouse with a shape that’s pretty universal for most.
The other 20% would consist of Starlight, Vaxee, Zowie, Razor, Fnatic if you’re lucky to spot one.
In Apex and COD it’s the same - of at least 5 pro’s I’ve seen it’s either the Starlight, GPX and now more recently Lamzu.
This just tells you the majority are not interested in Razor and haven’t it does not necessarily make the player “a Pro” just because of polling rates or latency which is hardly picked up by the human eye. What does make the biggest difference is the shape, as muscle memory will work best with a mouse you are comfortable using in hand vs forcing your grip to a shape that doesn’t work for you. FYI that’s where Razor is. The shape is okay for those who haven’t really tested other brands in the market.
@@willstw wrobg
this is why i like razer since i came back to buying their products (2019). they innovate.
These mices are very complicated in my opinion. Once you plug them then, you have to find the right sensitivity and movement speed. I miss having a mouse that is plug and play and it's just good the way it is. That's how my 2013 Deathadder was
I don't rly get what you mean
Its not that complicated. That just means the mouse you have shape and weight wise isnt for you. If you like the deathadder, you want to look for ergo mice like pulsar xlite or zowie ec2.
Viper mini wireles ftw!! Stil waiting, razer!
amazing content
Amazing Review as always!
Btw, any plans on doing a hands on review of the new Alienware AW3423DW QD Oled display?
literal EMI with wireless tech. If you dont play with WIFI on your PC then you shouldn't be so willing to do the same with a mouse even if the distance is closer. You can't measure errors nor retransmissions of data. Those spikes and dips in polling data is literally caused by interference. It can happen with wired cables too (just way less though). Shielded cables be it ethernet cords, or actual mouse/keyboard cords can be way more performant.
pure BS
@@riba2233 can you prove otherwise ? because what I said is undeniably true. Why do you think 1-4khz wireless is unstable in a lot of environments? Is it magic? Please, you have no background in tech if you say bs. Only an idiot would deny the facts.
I feel like this stands to benefit a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percentage of players, even at the elite end of the spectrum.
First ? I guess everyone is lol
They may be pushing mouse tech forward but you are pushing forward the way consumers test and verify all the marketing hype that gets thrown at us. And that I would argue is just as important. Thank you 😎
I'd be interested if you tested the new Logitech G502 Lightspeed X Plus to determine if they've improved the Wi-Fi.
Great test, thank-you.
Wow. I had no idea. Should I be regretting my new Logitech?
Yes! this is exactly what I was waiting for. Thanks for your work and effort Optimum Tech
Actually great video with that testing rig
Will you review the Razer Deathadder V3 Pro?
this is a perfect example of a top tier video
it looks like at 4000Hz motion sync is disabled but is it also off on 2000Hz ?
love your videos, my favorite tech youtuber by a landslide
It makes sense. And I SHOULD be loving it...but I feel as though motion sync becomes a hindrance when making micro adjustments. It almost feels like my crosshair is doing what it things I want to do rather than what I'm actually trying to do.
Compare it to g402, Logitech smooths the output with an accelerometer.
So, i wont see much difference in shooter games and i should stay with Logitech G pro superlight ?
Love to get an update on the motion sync to see if there is any felt difference beside the info stated in the video.
as you said you won't feel it so what's the point.
from my understanding razer was selling the 4k dongles at cost when they first released (as they were supposed to ship with the V2 but they werent ready yet).
Very great video man. I discovered you a couple months ago from some monitor comparisons getting me that beautiful DyAc 240 monitor, and I continue to get blown away by your knowledge and science and hard work for these videos. Keep it up mate 👍
That's why I subbed to this channel, The details.
Just discovered your channel recently and I love your vids. Keep it up!
Gwolves actually dropped their 4k wireless hts+ the other day
So this is why I'm playing so good on my razer viper v3 then my superlight!
I had to switch to Logi because my Deathadder V2 Pro Wireless in 2.4 interferes with my phone and airpods. No issues with my new Pro Superlight. Not saying Logi is better, just pointing out an issue I've had with my own wireless setup.
I have a Basilisk V3 with that sensor and I can read online everywhere that it has Motion Sync but I can't find an Option to activate it?
Ali, we need a Round 2 please! Excellent and detailed work
4k hz will be very important for pros soon. Not saying I saw a 700hz display but I'm not, not saying I'm not not working on it
Going above and beyond with these tests and data. Excellent work.
Awesome vid thanks for doing the in-depth research for us, it is getting pretty hard to discern the differences in modern mice. Keep up the good work!
Really nice and refreshing to see with hole new perspective to lookig at the mouce. 👍👍
please make a new update for this one with the new gpx2
Is that why I think the v2 pro feels so incredibly smooth compared to my gpx?
Yes.
