00:00Hey, how's it going? Dave2D here, and in front of me are some gaming accessories from Razer.
00:09Now these ones are in their new colorway, it's called Mercury, and it's kind of like
00:12a silver and white theme that's going on, and traditionally gaming accessories are like
00:16black or red, or black and red, or black and some other color that just, I don't know.
00:22For whatever reason, I've never liked the majority of gaming accessories. When this
00:25came out, I was pretty excited. So in front of me are the BlackWidow X-Chroma, the Razer
00:30Invicta, the Lancehead, as well as the Kraken. So I won't be doing like full reviews on these,
00:35I will be just kind of giving you my first impressions on them, in case it inspires you
00:39to pick up a white gaming setup of your own. Okay, let's do this. Let's start with the
00:45keyboard.
00:46Why is this so hard to open? I think I'm doing it wrong.
01:15I did it right.
01:22Okay, so these accessories are going into this setup. It's a mini ITX case called the
01:26Encase M1. It's one of the smallest PC cases out there, and the display is the LG 38UC99.
01:32This is my favorite display right now. It's just awesome for content creation because
01:36of the ultra-wide.
01:37Alright, I've used them for a little bit, and by a little bit I mean like 20 minutes,
01:40and I'm ready to give you my extensive long-term review. Now, this is just like some very cursory
01:45thoughts on these devices. I've always liked the Black Widow keyboard. It's got a great
01:49feel. I prefer the white color over the black for sure. I don't know about the longevity
01:53of the keycaps. I tried scratching the white off, it didn't come off, even though I was
01:57scratching pretty hard. It seems really durable for what it is, but there is a difference
02:01in texture between the white keycaps and the black keycaps from the original Black Widow
02:05X Chroma. Now, it could just be a difference in like manufacturing or something, it may
02:09not be important, but it's just something I noticed.
02:12The Lance head mouse feels really nice. I'm not super picky about gaming mice, but I really
02:16like this one. The design is cool, the texture is cool, the material finish is really unique
02:20on this mouse, and it has a good weight. The lighting control is pretty extensive for a
02:24mouse, but I would say that the grip on this thing is more suited for people that have
02:28a claw or a finger grip because it's kind of narrow from left to right. I mean, if you
02:32have really big hands and you're a palm gripper, I don't think this would be a good fit, but
02:36everyone else, good mouse.
02:38The Kraken headphones are good. The new thing for me are these oval ear cups. I never had
02:41issues with the original, more circular ear cups, but these ones I think are supposed
02:45to fit more ears. The sound quality is good, the mic quality is good, and of course it's
02:49got Razer RGB, so you can make it light up if you want. Now, in terms of the fit, I have
02:54a relatively large head, I think, and I'm already at the limit of how much this thing
02:57can adjust, so if you have like a really large head, these may not be a good fit, but in
03:01general, good headphones.
03:03Okay, the last thing is the mouse pad, the Razer Invicta, and I'm a little more opinionated
03:08about this thing. I love the way it looks. I think this is literally the nicest looking
03:12mouse pad I've ever used. It's got an aluminum build with an interchangeable mousing surface,
03:17so it's got two sides to this thing, but the issue I have with this thing is that both
03:23surfaces are hard surfaces. Now, some people that love hard surfaces, this is great, you
03:27can use both sides, but I feel like they had an opportunity here to give both hard surfaces
03:32and like maybe another insert that was a cloth surface, which would have been awesome because
03:36people that prefer something like a cloth mouse surface will have to adapt to this,
03:40and that's someone like me, so I'm sure over time I'll get used to this, but in the few
03:44minutes that I tried playing with this, it was a little bit different from what I was
03:47used to, but that's basically it. Four accessories that allow you to make a super clean, super
03:52minimal looking gaming setup for your PC or Mac, whatever you want, but these are really
03:57high performing devices that look super clean.
