 Welcome to my unboxing and first look at the LeetGion Helion which I have been informed is not you know okay okay here so on their site they actually explain that LeetGion they explain what Leet means which hopefully all of you know and if you don't then I don't know you can stop watching now I suppose no no no I don't reject any viewers I want anyone who wants to learn about the Helion mouse to be watching this video so Leet make means you know you're like elite and then EGion like Legion like you know army or something so they're like yeah that's where the name came from it's like Leet and Legion together and I was like oh well this mouse is called the Helion so it's probably like hell and like lions like together and that's probably what it is and then I was informed that it's an RTS mouse so what they're probably talking about is the Helion unit in Starcraft so there you go I got told and there's a cool little logo on the side where you can see the mouse inside. LeetGion is sort of a new player in this whole peripheral game but they seem to be doing some interesting stuff so we checked out the Eldruan before which was which is actually Diesel's using it about half and half now with his old mouse so he's seeing if he can make the switch it's hard to change mice because there's so many different things that affect whether you like a new mouse or not but the fact that he's legitimately considering changing it out is pretty strong that's a pretty strong statement so I was I was pretty impressed they're serious about building high-end products which is cool unlike sort of some of the other guys so they're using an Avago 9500 laser mouse sensor made in Japan Omron micro switches they actually have a Cherry MX blue switch for the attack button it does have a dedicated attack button which is in line with the RTS sort of roots of this particular great packaging look at this packaging sorry I'm not actually done with this yet four custom profile sets six fully programmable hotkeys customizable 16.8 million color LED and I think pretty much 80 megs of hard disk based system requirement what kind of driver does this thing have okay oh it looks cool I'll give it that so mouse law okay so labels DPI adjustment so 100 DPI is blue 800 DPI is green 16 wow seven different settings for DPI's at least and you can change the colors depending which one you're using race switching can be done with different profiles so the default is red to it Taron is blue Zerg is purple Protoss is yellow custom is green so that's that's kind of cool as well so yeah it's definitely definitely optimized for Diablo and other RTS games like that wouldn't it be funny if I made mistakes like that I was just kidding by the way but wouldn't that be hilarious if I actually didn't know gaming to the point where I didn't know what an RTS was and I was trying to do unboxings for products that are optimized for them I mean I didn't know that the Helion is a unit in Starcraft I don't think it was unit in Starcraft 1 so bam okay comes with this is something that I do like to see it actually comes with replacements for the slippy pads on the bottom of the mouse so of 3m wow see it's all about the baller stuff with these guys Omron switches 3m mouse pad feet and all that kind of stuff here we go it's an ambidextrous mouse and here is the braided cord so it's a gold plated cord although it should be noted that the gold plating here doesn't do anything the important thing is the gold plating on the inside you got that diesel I don't know if he's got that he says no it's okay so braided cord so it's not gonna sort of catch on anything and it's not going to have problems I've actually had one of my braided cords fall apart not that long ago but this one seems like it wouldn't pop out of the side I had one where the cord just popped right out of the braiding so that was sort of disappointing it wasn't a Legion mouse by the way so on the bottom here we're selecting different profiles for the mouse with a dial that's sort of an interesting interface so there's that default Terran Zerg Protoss custom and yeah it works pretty much like that is there another way to do this no okay you flip the mouse over you turn the dial and then you're in the actual profile that you want to be in so you don't it's not tied to a software switch which is sort of unique aha there it is cherry mx blue attack button so that's a dedicated a although I've noticed the fact that you can probably reprogram that to something else if you want it has a pretty unique sound because it is an MX blue see that so it actually yeah has like some pretty serious clickiness to it you've also got a couple more programmable keys so there's one here one here there's your middle click left click right click and I'm trying to figure out if these are related to something in any way but it would actually appear not let's go ahead and plug it in and have a look at what the lighting zones look like do do do do do do do watching the video listening to Linus sing do do do okay well that explains what all this is so there's just lighting that shows through here at the bum of the mouse here on the logo here on the top and here and here on the side so you can change those colors to pretty much whatever you see fit so I want to close by showing you guys how we actually change the dial on the bottom and how it affects the color so you can actually see slightly through the hole there what goes on but here we go do do do blue purple yellow other more different blue oh we should have had like green instead of another more different well that pretty much wraps it up thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Legion Helion RTS optimized mouse I almost said RPG don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech Tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos.
