The Perils of One by One Gaming Mouse: A Personal Review

I'll be the first to admit that I'm really bad at Counter-Strike. I don't spend much time playing it, and when I do, I'm usually terrible. But despite my lack of skill, I noticed something interesting about a gaming mouse called One by One. It's not just me who thinks this mouse is poorly designed - even I can see that its core center N65 design makes it feel less responsive than some other gaming mice on the market.

I tried using the One by One mouse for a few minutes, but I quickly became frustrated with its lack of sensitivity and accuracy. When compared to my trusty Corsair Mouse, which I've used extensively in competitive games like Counter-Strike, the One by One just couldn't keep up. The mouse's tracking was clumsy, and even simple movements felt like they were happening too slowly or too erratically. In contrast, the Corsair Mouse was a joy to use - its tracking was smooth and responsive, making it easy to pull off high-quality headshots at long distances.

However, the real issue with the One by One mouse is that it's just plain difficult to find a comfortable sensitivity setting. I found myself toggling back and forth between on and off in an attempt to find a sweet spot, but no matter what I did, the mouse just didn't feel right. This lack of customization made me realize that I was holding back from reaching my full potential with the game - I knew I could do better if only the mouse would cooperate.

Now, let's talk about Minecraft, a game that's very different from Counter-Strike in terms of sensitivity requirements. While high-speed movements are indeed necessary for success in this game, even low sensitivity settings can lead to frustration and mistakes. In my experience, I've found that I don't need super-high sensitivity to play well in Minecraft - and the One by One mouse is actually more than capable of delivering smooth gameplay without being too fast.

One thing that did strike me about the One by One mouse was its build quality. The plastic felt cheap and flimsy, even after only a short period of use. I've been using my Corsair Mouse for two years now, and it still looks and feels like new - which says a lot more about the mouse's durability than I care to admit.

When comparing the One by One mouse directly to its competitor, the Corsair Mouse, it becomes clear that there's no contest. The Corsair Mouse is simply better in every way - from its smooth tracking to its durable build quality. While I can understand how some people might find the One by One mouse acceptable on a budget, I think it's hard to justify spending money on a subpar product when you can spend a few extra dollars for something truly good.

The biggest takeaway I have from my experience with the One by One mouse is that investing in a good gaming peripheral is worth it. While the initial cost might seem high at first glance, I've found that this particular mouse has lasted me much longer than I expected - even two years now and it still looks and feels great. In contrast, the cheap but flimsy One by One mouse was already showing signs of wear and tear after only a short period of use.

Ultimately, whether or not you choose to spend money on a gaming peripheral like this is up to you. But if I had to recommend something, I'd say save your money and invest in something better - like the Corsair Mouse.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthe internet is full of videos comparing sub $15 gaming mice to each other and this is a great idea because if you have less than 15 dollars to spend on a mouse you want to know which one's the best one to buy Cherie but one of the things that's always kind of left out in videos like this is a comparison to something a bit more expensive to show how much you're giving up buying let's say a $6 mask in comparison to buying a $50 Mouse what is the difference between the two and that's what I'm going to be doing today so what I did is I went out and bought the second cheapest gaming mouse on Amazon u.s. the reason that I didn't buy the cheapest one is because the cheapest one on Amazon u.s. costs the equivalent of like $100 on Amazon Japan and I'm not going to spend a hundred dollars on like a $5 Mouse that would be madness so that's why I ended up with the one by one gaming mouse now the one by one gaming mouse on paper has everything you could possibly want from a gaming mouse it's got a laser sensor which isn't the greatest but it goes up to a dpi of about 2400 which is good enough and it's got six buttons and it's got RGB light coming out of it now the mouse that I'm comparing it to is my daily driver Mouse that I've been using for the last like two years it's called the Corsair m65 Pro RGB now the pro RGB is the m65 with like the better Pixar sensor that goes to like 10,000 dpi so it's got an insane sensor in it it's all metal bodied and it's got all kinds of weird RGB gimmicks now the first place that I'm going to be comparing these two mice is in build quality now obviously a $5 gaming mouse is going to be much worse built than a $60 gaming mouse because if it wasn't why would you buy the more expensive one and it's really clear with the one by one the moment did you take it out of its packaging that it's not that well built it's all plastic and flimsy feeling it's the kind of thing that if you're the type of gamer that it's angry and counter-strike and starts like assaulting their peripherals it's not gonna last you more than a week whereas with the Coursera Mouse the moment that you take it out of its packaging it feels really sturdy it feels like the kind of thing you could survive a zombie apocalypse with it's all metal it's heavy and it's really sturdy feeling in your hand and to be fair I I hate to say this and use this comparison but it kind of feels like an Apple product now it's really obvious that point one goes in favor of the Coursera Mouse because well if it didn't we should all be very worried but maybe point two will shift the balance to the one by nerds not going to because point two is features and again a 60 or $50 Mouse depending on where you buy it is gonna be way better feature than a $6 Gaming Mouse is and it is because with Coursera is kind of linked software you can have like very intimate control of the RGB settings you can set it to your heart rate or control it off a cell phone from North Korea whereas with the actual one by one you can't control the lighting settings at all it just kind of cycles through the colors of whatever and then again with the Coursera Mouse you've got a way better sensor in it which means that you have much more control over the actual sensitivity of the mouse when you're using it whereas with the one by one you've got like three settings like really slow not that slow and then kind of too fast so it's it's very difficult to find a comfortable dpi setting on on on the one by one now moving to something where it gets a little bit more interesting comfort now the thing is these two mice are actually very similar they're quite a similar shape and they feel fairly similar in the hand when you don't take into account that the one is metal and the other one is very plastic I'm talking about the actual feel in your hand of the shape of the mouse then one by one is actually fairly comfortable and I have weird has so like I find it really difficult to find a comfortable Mouse and the one by one was comfortable for me and it's also they've got a similar button layout they've each got six buttons so it means that you can kind of have the same macro settings on your mouse if you wanted so in actual Comfort wise the one by one does really well compared to the much more expensive Mouse so in point number three things are becoming a bit more interesting it's not that the Corsair Mouse is clearly better than the one by one but the thing is comfort is hugely subjective so some people find the m65 very comfortable other people hate it so it just depends on what kind of hang you're using and now let's move on to point number four which is usability what are these mice like in day-to-day use now the first thing that I did was fire up Premiere Pro to see what it was like editing videos with the one by one and I have to say straight off the bat I was disappointed there's something about the way the sensor reacts to your movements that it just doesn't track accurately enough which means that when you're trying to like to line up things on your timeline it just it just feels forced you become really aware of your mouse in a way that you shouldn't whereas with a Coursera Mouse you're just editing videos you never think about how your mouse is going to react to your movements now let's look at the most important thing for these mice to succeed at which is gaming I mean they aren't gaming peripherals after all now before I keep talking about how they fed I just want to say that I did use them at 4k which is more difficult for a lower sensitivity Mouse than kind of something like 1080p now the game I used first which is my go to game which I spend a lot of time doing is battlefield one now in battlefield one the mice actually performed fairly similarly with the one by one you could still pull off long distance headshots and you know you could keep up it wasn't as though you felt like the mouse was was affecting your gaming performance massively yes it didn't feel as nice a different track isn't as smoothly but you could still get away with it but then I decided to move on to counter-strike now conscious strike I have to say is again that I'm really bad at I don't spend much time playing it at all because I'm just terrible so I don't know how valid my opinion is on its performance in counter-strike but the thing is it made a big difference in counter-strike with the core center n65 it was sensitive enough and it tracked your movements carefully enough that you could pull off high headshots over kind of longer distances with aligned and you were super lucky and whatever but with the actual 1x1 Mouse it didn't happen that clearly it kind of felt like that the mouse was holding you back and after about five minutes of thing I'd always get frustrated and move back to the Corsair Mouse because I just felt that I had more of a competitive edge with it not that I was doing one at all I was dying quite a lot and now looking at minecraft which is a kind of game that a lot of people play again you're not doing a lot of jerk move Minh sand you don't have to have super high sensitivity for a game like Minecraft but one thing that I did note is one big difference between the one by one and the Corsair Mouse is the fact that the one by one is impossible to find a comfortable sensitivity setting with just by toggling with the button on on the mouse I know you can go into the game menu and you can change that kind of thing but with the Corsair mouse you could use the buttons on the mouse very easily to find a comfortable sensitivity you didn't even have to think about going into the menus whereas with one by one it's either really slow very low sensitivity or way too sensitive and you just end up falling off of your building project to your death now with all of that out the way I think we can get into a conclusion now before I start with the conclusion I just want to make it clear that it's really difficult to objectively test gaming peripherals because it's not like you can run a gaming benchmark on the mice and then oh wow this one obviously performs better than the other one it's it's very subjective it's up to how the mouse feels in your hand but that being said the Corsair house is obviously better than the one by one and it should be better because it costs pretty much 10 times as much as the one by one does and if it wasn't better we'd be really really worried but with that being said again the six dollar mouse is actually not that bad I thought it was going to be horrible I thought it was going to be pretty much unusable compared to the Corsair Mouse but even when directly compared to it it wasn't like it gave me chlamydia while using it it wasn't that bad yes it's badly built in the sensor doesn't track as nicely as the Corsair Mouse does and I think with a direct comparison you can kind of tell that the mouse isn't performing the way it should but I think if you didn't have the Coursera Mouse for a reference it wouldn't have been as clear so let me know in the comments below what you think of this kind of test do you think that it's worth buying a six dollar Mouse or do you think you should save up overtime and buy something more expensive now I kind of think that's the better thing to do I think that just going out and buying a five dollar mouse isn't the best idea because the five dollar Mouse on the short term is okay but I don't think it's gonna last very well even after only one day of use the plastic was already starting to discolor now I do have very sweaty hands I basically sweat cottage cheese from my hand so I am really hard on gaming peripherals but the Corsair Mouse after like two years is as sturdy as day one and that's definitely not going to be the case with the one by one so I think it's better to invest in a mouse than it is to kind of go out and buy the cheapest thing that you can find on Amazon yes for a couple of weeks weeks it's going to serve you non horribly but I think after one too many rage quits while playing counter-strike it's just gonna disintegrate in your hand anyways thank you very much for watching if you like the video do like and subscribe and yes I'll have more videos like this to come by
