 Today we'll be doing a quick unboxing of the Razer Armadillo 2. Now this is a mouse cable management system holder. Basically it secures the cord of your mouse so we're going to go ahead and open up the packaging here. One, two, three, four. Razer as always is a master of packaging so no matter how expensive or inexpensive the product is it always comes in a great retail box so there's like a multi-layered box thing going on. Oh I unpacked it wrong. Yeah see so that's not how they intended, not the way it was meant to be unpacked. So here we go so put that back in there. This is how it was meant to be unpacked. You're supposed to take the top off. So the Armadillo 2 is a mouse cord holder. It's a fairly simple straightforward device. Basically it's a weighted companion cone and here I have a mouse here. Unfortunately not a Razer mouse this is just a cheapo mouse that I got with a demo unit of something and let's see if we can figure out how this works. Okay so that that moves a little bit. That doesn't come with instructions. I guess they figure you should be smart enough to figure it out on your own but not everyone necessarily is so why don't we go ahead and wrap that around and then we go ahead and run that to wherever it goes. Is that how it works? I guess so. Hold on, hold on because it looks like there's a bit of it. Oh oh here we go hold on. Okay okay I think I get it. I think I get it. So I don't get it. Give me a minute. I get it now. It's um it's so simple that it's was hard for me to figure out. So basically you push the top like this that opens up a gap in the side there. Okay you take your mouse cord you thread it into the gap and you let go. Now your mouse cord is secured. Now why would you need this you might ask. The reason you might need this is because when you are moving a wired mouse remember wired mice until you get into the very high-end wireless mice still provide the best performance for responsiveness for gaming. So well I mean this one's probably an exception but a high quality wired mouse still provides better performance. So the reason is that there's a lot less drag on the cord of the mouse if it is secured with a comfortable amount of slack. Whereas let's say you've got it running off the end of your desk which I see time and time again people with their mice configured like this. So you're sitting at your desk like this. Okay so let's say you look down. No no I want you to stay not you look down. I mean with your camera in your FPS game you look down. So watch this cord. Now it's hooked. Now when I go to look back up all of a sudden there's extra resistance on the mouse so I can't move precisely. So that's what the Armadillo 2 is for. Now I actually use a mouse cord holder at home. I don't remember where I got it but it's a weighted one where the top unscrews. You put the mouse cord into a gap and then you screw the top back on to secure the cord. Very similar idea so it's just got a bit of heft to it so that it's not going to move around. It has a grippy bottom also so that it's not going to move around and it's so simple to use that I can't figure it out. Thank you for checking out this unboxing.
