I used to care so much about gaming mice.

But then, two things happened.

First, the industry took a bit of a weird turn.

It was around 2020, but we'll come back to that.

The second thing though, is that I got old.

And when I say I got old, I'm talking about reaction time.

I was like 37 when Aim Labs first came out and they had this reaction time test.

And I remember getting a score of about 160, 170 milliseconds.

And this is a test that has nothing to do with skill.

It's just reaction time.

When you see a blue thing pop up, you just click the mouse.

There's no aiming, there's no tracking, just how long did it take you to see the ball and click.

And this was a time when I played a lot of shooters.

I was a master's Overwatch player for a few seasons and 160 millisecond reaction time was pretty good.

But then when I turned 40, I distinctly remember using Aim Labs and seeing that my reaction time had gotten slower.

Now I'm 45 and my reaction time is like 230, sometimes 240 milliseconds.

It's not good.

I feel like this rate is just like a matter of time format like 500 milliseconds

and I found

that my appreciation for high-end gaming mice was inversely proportional to

my reaction time like as my reaction time crept up my interest in top tier gaming mice just went down

because a lot of those features are really focused on high-end super fast reflexes things

that would benefit like a kid who's got cracked out neurons

and he's at 110 milliseconds

but for me with my 250 millisecond dad neurons I just didn't feel like it would help help much.

And it's normal, right?

As we get older, our visual reaction time just gets worse.

Now at the beginning of the video, I mentioned that in 2020, I feel like the industry took a bit of a turn.

And this was the year that this mouse came out.

So this was the Logitech G Pro Superlight.

And this was an amazing mouse.

This was almost perfect to a lot of people.

It was very lightweight, 60 something grams.

It has an awesome sensor, great battery life, and a pretty good shape for So many people still love and use this mouse,

but since 2020, I feel like the industry fell off.

It's been six years where there just hasn't been much innovation.

There's been a ton of marketing.

We're seeing sensors with higher and higher DPI when we've had like perfect tracking since 2018.

And we're seeing companies push 4,000 and then 8,000 Hertz polling rates

when even pro gamers are just using 1,000 Hertz because that's just what they prefer.

And we went through a phase when companies were

so desperate trying to shave weight off mice that they were just poking holes in the shells to lower that number.

And all of these mice features and properties were designed just for marketing.

Like when you have a measurable empirical number that you can flex and be like, Hey, our number is better than the other company.

You should buy our mouse.

Like that's when the industry is kind of weird.

And the whole time during those six years, you have professional gamers using super old mice to win tournaments.

It's kind of like athletes, like professional athletes, like hockey players, tennis players, they will use equipment that's older, sometimes like 10 years old,

but the companies that sponsor of them will paint their hockey sticks

or their tennis rackets like the new ones so that people will buy the new ones, but the pros just use the old ones because that's what they're used to.

That's what they prefer.

So when Logitech announced this mouse, their G Pro X2 Super Strike, I was like, nah, it's gotta be a gimmick, right?

Because this thing's claiming a reduction up to 30 milliseconds on your click.

So it uses a new haptic feedback system, kind of like Apple's trackpads, but instead of a mechanical switch for the click,

it uses an inductive sensor that measures your input with electromagnetic coils

and they call this their haptic inductive trigger system or hits

and you can adjust the mouse buttons individually on the left

and the right and the thing is this mouse doesn't actually click it feels like you've clicked it

because there's a motor underneath each button

that kind of thumps up at your finger

when you press it to simulate the sensation of a click

but there is no switch in there that's actually doing any

clicking it's just the sensation like you can kind of hear it but when you turn the mouse off

the mouse buttons just become like dead paddles.

They don't make any more sound and you don't feel a click anymore.

So when I got it in, I wanted to know, can this do what it claims?

Can it reduce my click latency by 30 milliseconds?

I fire up Aim Labs and I'm testing my regular mice just to kind of get a feel for it.

And there I am, Unc2D with its 240 milliseconds.

And then I swapped to this mouse, I adjust the click to the fastest setting, and I got a 2.14.

First try, fresh out of the box.

So I swapped mice back and forth a few times just to see if it's real, and this legitimately brings down my click latency by like 20 milliseconds, I'd say.

At the very least.

So I hopped into some games.

This is Marvel Rivals, and the Spider-Man character is very mobile.

He can zip around and do all this acrobatic stuff in the air, and a good Spider-Man is really hard for me to kill.

This guy was a Grandmaster 1 player, pretty good on Spidey.

My aim isn't great, I'm a Platinum player, but after playing a few games on this thing, I'm 100% confident that this makes a difference.

If I had to describe it, like, for me, I just feel like I have faster reaction time, as if I was five or six years younger.

It sounds crazy, but this is just how this mouse feels for me.

Now, does it give you better aim?

No. Does it give you better tracking?

You could argue that because on this mouse, if you set the sensitivity really tight so that you just have to press lightly on a mouse, like when you're, I don't know,

if you're like Zarya and Overwatch or if you're just like ADSing

and you're trying to track something while pressing a mouse button, you don't have to put as much flex and tension on your hand to do it.

So you could argue the tracking is a little bit better with it

But I need to stress this point game skill

and like your aiming capabilities are way more important than any kind of hardware upgrade

Because if you have terrible aim

and you were going to miss the shot You're just going to miss the shot even faster with this mouse

But if you had decent aim and the only reason why you miss is

because reaction time was a little bit too slow And you just clicked a little too late This has an impact

A thought I had about the durability, the M1 and M2 buttons are going to be basically immortal because it's a sensor.

It's like a traditional switch has moving parts.

It's metal on metal that wears out over time and you just get double clicks and stuff.

But this, it just doesn't have those kinds of moving parts.

So I feel like this will last so long.

There are a couple things about this mouse that I don't love.

The big one is its shape.

100

So this shape is very, it's the super light shape, right?

101

Just like the super light one and super light two, this mouse is built to be a universally enjoyable experience.

102

So different hand sizes, different grips, it's all built to be like usable on this mouse.

103

But because of that, it feels kind of like a generic potato sometimes.

104

The other thing I don't love is the way

105

that the button feels after it actuates so on this mouse i've set it

106

so that's the fastest actuation

107

so it clicks immediately just a little bit of pressure it actuates

108

but right after you click or

109

that the system thinks you've clicked there's still a lot of like travel on

110

that mouse button and i find that it feels a little spongy

111

because you've clicked it the system thinks you've clicked it knows you've clicked

112

but now the button is still traveling but on an old mouse or like a typical mechanical switch.

113

Once you, like, because there's so much pre-travel, you don't feel like it's spongy, then once you've clicked, it almost bottoms out from that click,

114

and you feel like an immediate stop on the click.

115

But here, when you do that click, I mean, this is super sweaty, but just in case you care, when you do that click,

116

there's spongy movement almost after that click.

117

But everything else about this thing is pretty damn good.

118

Now, this has been the first mouse in, I want to say, like six or seven years that I would just recommend.

119

It's an awesome mouse.

120

It is, however, super expensive.

121

This comes at $180.

122

It's the most expensive gaming mouse that I think Logitech has made, but it's the only mouse right now that does this.

123

They have a patent on this technology.

124

I imagine that this or something like this tech will appear in other brands over time.

125

I just don't know how you get around that patent

126

because otherwise everyone just has to get this if you want this advantage.

127

But there you have it.

128

This is the new Logitech G Pro X2 Super Strike and it is a very cool technology.

FOR YOU

Почему практиковать речь на примере этого видео?

Это видео — отличная возможность для практики разговорного английского, так как оно содержит естественную, разговорную речь с эмоциями и личными историями. Слушая рассказ о геймерских мышах и изменениях в индустрии, вы привыкаете к темпу речи взрослого человека, коллоквиализму и логике повествования. Это идеально подходит для тех, кто хочет улучшить понимание живого английского и научиться выражать свои мысли так же естественно. А если вы используете shadowing site или метод Shadowing английский, это видео поможет вам тренировать реакцию и синхронизацию речи с говорящим.

Грамматика и выражения в контексте

В диалоге используется несколько интересных структур, которые стоит отметить:

"I used to care so much about..." — конструкция used to для описания привычек в прошлом. В русском можно перевести как "Раньше я так сильно заботился о...", что помогает выразить изменение в поведении.
"inversely proportional to..." — фраза, обозначающая обратную пропорциональность. В контексте: "интерес к мыши был обратно пропорционален времени реакции" — полезно для научных или аналитических высказываний.
"it's kind of like athletes..." — сравнение с помощью kind of like, чтобы объяснить сложное понятие простым примером. Это удобно в разговоре, чтобы сделать мысль понятнее.

Трудные места для произношения

Некоторые слова и сочетания звуков в видео могут вызвать сложности. Например:

"reaction time" — правильно произносится как [riˈækʃn taɪm], но часто бывает ошибка с ударением на первом слоге. Обратите внимание на слабое ударение в "reaction".
"polling rates" — [ˈpoʊlɪŋ reɪts] — сочетание "ll" и "ing" может быть трудным. Практикуйте плавное переход от "l" к "ɪŋ".
"hockey sticks" — [ˈhɑːki stɪks] — звук "h" в "hockey" не всегда слышен явно, а "sticks" заканчивается на твердый "s".

Чтобы улучшить произношение английского, попробуйте метод shadowing: повторяйте за говорящим сразу после его слов, стараясь копировать темп, интонацию и звуки. Это поможет вам привыкнуть к естественной речи и исправить ошибки.

Грамматика в этом видео

Конструкции, которые говорящий использует чаще всего, с точными словами из видео:

Конструкция	В видео
Present Perfect have/has + причастие прошедшего времени — прошлое действие, важное сейчас	It's been · There's been · we've had
Пассивный залог be + причастие прошедшего времени — важно, что происходит, а не кто это делает	were designed · is built

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
