As a player at the top of China's e-sports pyramid, Li Xiaofeng has repeatedly defended the honor of "King of the People" in WCG (World Cyber Games) with two champions, two runners up and one runner up. This honor not only represents his personal reputation, but also helps domestic game enthusiasts to have a genuine ownership of the e-sports professional industry - e-sports is not what you call "playing games"!
The former champion officially retired. The first step of "Empress SKY"'s turnaround was to launch the peripheral brand "Tidu", and the brand has launched its second product "Tidu e-Racer Smart Mouse". For this mouse, old players hope to get more than feelings from it.
The three dimensions of this "Tidu e-Racer Smart Edition" are 119X67X39mm, and the whole mouse shape is soft. The surface of this skin like material is in full black color, the only ornament is the official logo of titanium, and the appearance adopts a capable style.
In terms of data cable, this mouse uses a rubber cable with a length of 1.8 meters, and its USB interface does not use the gilding gimmick that most of the current e-sports devices like to use, nor does it have a shielding ring.
However, in terms of design style, we can still see the shadow of many classic competitive mice from the "Titanium e-Racer". For example, players can easily see the shadow of classic mice such as Rival of Serui and IE3.0 of Microsoft on this "Tidu e-Racer Smart Edition". In these aspects, it is not difficult to see that the whole design idea of this "Tidu e-Racer" is a set of old players' ideas.
This style shows some "competitive" characteristics everywhere, and the most prominent one is the design focusing on right hand operation. For example, the left and right buttons are asymmetrically designed, and the mouse structure is ergonomically designed to be left high and right low. These designs are aimed at the game behavior of the left keyboard and the right mouse.
The other two function side keys are set on the left side of the mouse to facilitate thumb operation, a standard routine.
The intelligent version of the Tidu e-Racer mouse has two choices of materials: mirror type and skin type, and this skin type has a comfortable texture, But the author is also very concerned about the oxidation problem that general skin like materials will inevitably face in the long-term use process.
In addition, the side skirt of the entire mouse is also covered with a layer of rubber material and adopts a concave convex staggered anti-skid design, which to a certain extent increases the touch of fingers when operating the mouse.
In order to experience the hand feeling correctly, the author first set his mind at first:
For personal preference, I have always used a heavy mouse. In order not to change his feel and operation, he has used the "Pirate Ship M95" as his main mouse for three consecutive years. Usually, Tt LEVEL10 M is used in the company . Both models of mouse are "heavyweight" products in the market. In design, both models of mouse are biased. Even users who first contact these two models of mouse have difficulty pushing them.
When using the "TiDu e-Racer Smart Mouse" for the first time, I first felt the comfortable touch of skin like materials and the grip brought by the thin streamline, but the weight reduction in the hand feeling habit led to the illusion that the mouse was too floating. The performance of the glue data cable in daily use is also unsatisfactory, and the use of the cable with excellent material will be greatly affected even if it is matched with the mouse cable clamp in the dragging process.
This mouse is designed with a magnetic foot sticker, The four foot stickers at the bottom are all installed by magnetic suction, which can facilitate the removal of foot stickers in practical operation.
On the one hand, this design can facilitate players to change foot stickers of different materials when necessary. On the other hand, compared with common adhesive foot stickers, this magnetic suction design is obviously designed to facilitate players to routinely disassemble the mouse for many times.
The actual disassembly operation is very difficult, and can be easily completed with a hexagon.
In a nutshell, this“ The left and right buttons of the "Tidu E-sports Smart Edition" use the home-made Omron D2FC-F-7N (20M), while the DPI is a square micromotion that is in order, and the two side keys use TCC red dots.
In terms of hardware conditions, the chip used in the "Tidu e-Racer Smart Edition", which is positioned at 199 yuan, is "3325". This chip has no reputation in the peripheral circle. Many small partners are discussing it. Maybe this chip is a magic revision of "3320".
According to this idea, the cost of this mouse should be reduced on the chip instead of the familiar "3310", and the cost is put on the Bluetooth module to match with the "smart APP".
Titanium mouse has developed an independent driver for its own brand. In the past half year's experience, many players will find that the driver design is still very green. However, it also appears to have a unique personality in terms of UI.
The driver on the PC side does not lose its function, which is a standard configuration routine. However, it is rare to take firmware update, manual speed record, data ranking, cloud storage and other functions into account in China.
Compared with the "standard version", "Tidu e-Racer Smart Edition" can be connected through Bluetooth and operated by mobile APP.
However, in the "smart device" routine, we can easily find that Tidu is really a young team, and many details are not mature enough. For example, UI design on mobile APP and consideration of function priority. Another is that the PC terminal driver and the mobile terminal driver are currently in conflict with each other in terms of account usage.
It is undeniable that the topic of "the e-sports mouse launched by the Emperor SKY" has a great attraction for us as players. The functions such as "intelligent recording of hand speed data" and "automatic setting of mouse sensitivity parameters of star players" play a lot of emotion hands.
However, until now, the titanium mouse has just handed over a good report card. The maturity of the brand can not be cast overnight, and whether the titanium degree can be further developed before the enthusiasm of the players is exhausted is definitely not the need for feelings.
