(fast-paced music) (mouse smacks hands)
- Today, we're gonna see who can upgrade
the Glorious Model O wireless better.
Jake's got one and I've got another.
Let's get started.
Hiya.
- I've never done this before.
(mouse smacks table)
Hopefully, I didn't break it.
- Let's just open this up.
(suspenseful music) (knife flicks)
(knife cuts box)
First, I have to take this apart.
Can use a hairdryer to unstick these feet.
I need a hairdryer.
(mouse clicks)
- I've literally never upgraded the mouse before.
First thing I gotta do is get a hairdryer.
(switch clicks)
(hairdryer fan spinning)
I just took the rubber feet off.
I saw Betty in there too,
which means that we're a little bit ahead of her.
See if I can take this thing apart or not.
- I took out the plastic pieces,
but there were only two screws and a lot of ribbon cables.
And right now I'm in a bad conundrum because a plastic piece
flew off and now I gotta go find it.
I found it.
It is so small.
Knowing Jake, he's probably going to do something
superhero-like, but I think I'm gonna go the anime route.
- For my theme, I think
I'm gonna go for like a Spiderman.
Mainly because Spiderman's awesome.
But everyone knows that Tobey Maguire is the best.
She really doesn't know what she's getting herself into.
Like I have this whole thing planned out in my head
and it's gonna turn out amazing.
- The winner of this competition gets a video
of their making with unlimited budget and the loser,
well, they gotta make me gluten-free cookies.
And why is this a mouse you may be wondering
and not a keyboard.
Well, that's because I want to expand my horizons
to do something new, something, challenging and to expand
like bread coming right out of the oven.
That was weird.
Please tell me you like it, or this will be awkward.
This mouse is so flimsy and lightweight.
That I'm really scared that I might break
some of these things just by trying to take it apart.
In the end, I had to ask Jake for help.
And he basically did it all for me.
So this is one of the hardest challenges we've ever done.
It's got more electronics.
It's got more parts.
Not only that, but this is a competition.
Tape is very important right now.
Blue tape.
(suspenseful music)
Tape here, tape there.
So Jake is just blue taping his mouse parts to skewers,
and then we're gonna go outside really soon.
It looks super scotch,
but I did the same thing with my mouse parts too.
How's it going?
- It's pretty good.
I'm all ready to paint.
- I'm ready to paint too.
I've got three steps, primer, paint, and profit.
- What're you gonna profit off of?
- Content.
- Oh.
- Profit.
- Same.
- Let's get to ready to go outside.
- Have you seen my design yet?
(paper crinkles)
- It looks pretty good.
- Okay, let's go outside.
All right, it's time to go outside.
I've got primer because all of you guys told me
that I need the primer everything
to keep everything safe and sound.
And white is always good.
We ran out of white recently,
so we actually bought three more cans of white.
Jake's doing blue.
And he didn't primer because he has a white mouse
and he thought that would be good enough, but it's not.
And you'll see later on why it wasn't.
He's also got red because, well, Spiderman is blue and red
and white.
Or is that America?
Wait, why am I standing things always, oh,
it's because I dropped things,
but I'm also using blue as the accent pieces for my mouse,
the middle click and the side buttons.
It's gonna look really cool and awesome.
Mm, satisfying.
Yeah.
(upbeat music)
Okay, well, the majority of my mouse
is actually going to be yellow
because Naruto has yellow hair.
Wait, I'm missing a color.
We still need orange somewhere,
but that's gonna come real soon.
Yellow is pretty fun to spray and I've gotten a lot better
at spray painting now that I've done it
like a kabillion times and all of the comments are like,
maybe you should spray a little slower.
(upbeat music)
Well, I think I did.
And it looks pretty cool.
There's a test keyboard on the floor
and that's how we test everything that we come up with.
That thing's been through a lot of stuff.
Finally, the orange appears.
I learned how to do this by watching YouTube videos
about how to do a gradient with spray cans.
And it looked pretty cool, like an orange or a sunburst
or a star or a shining sun.
Well, it looks really cool.
And this spray paint can was like $12 at Michaels.
Much more expensive than the stuff we usually use,
but orange is special
and not everybody can buy this kind of orange at the store.
You gotta be 18 plus, like me, I'm 18.
(Betty laughs)
Yeah, it looks really good.
And even though I had to spray all of the pieces separately,
when I put them together, they gonna be perfect.
- My mouse is finished, it's painted
and it turned out so cool.
Look at all this, all I need to do is detail it
with a marker and I hope I don't mess it up.
And then I have a couple of other cool things
I want to do too before I put it back together.
But we'll see how it turns out.
I'm a little nervous, but I think you'll be really.
- So here, Jake is drawing spiderwebs
on the back of his mouth and he was telling me
that it's pretty hard to draw these
because the honeycombs kept getting in the way.
And it was like, kaklikakliklikli.
This is Spiderman's belly.
No.
This is where Spiderman suit look like
with the black webs on the red suit.
So beautiful.
(upbeat music)
Now, Jake is clear coating everything to make sure
it's all protected.
So you're sweating a little hands and fingers won't mess up
the mouse when it's actually in use for gaming.
- So it just clear coated it.
Now I'm gonna apply some of this grip tape I bought.
It's really cool.
And that should tie in perfectly with the design.
And I just can't wait to see how it finishes.
Honestly, it looks so cool at this point.
There's no way that Betty can beat me.
There's just no way.
- All the spray painting has been completed.
And I got to say, it looks super awesome.
Now I need to add the Naruto elements to it.
It's not really screaming, Naruto, now is it?
So I started by drawing the nine-tailed fox on one side.
And on the other side, I drew the leaf village logo
that's on Naruto's headband,
and that ties it all together nicely.
And here's all the parts.
(slow music)
It's the next day today I've got everything dried.
Everything has been clear-coated.
And I took a sneak peek at Jake's and I gotta say,
it looks pretty dang good too.
- All I need to do now is put everything back together.
It's all dry.
I caught a glimpse of Betty's mouse
and it looks pretty cool.
So I'm actually a little worried now,
but I think I still have a chance to win this.
- Putting back together this mouse was ultra-difficult.
There were so many parts.
And because I did this over the span of a few days,
I sorta forgot where everything went,
but luckily the internet is here.
So I put my mouse back together and I gotta say,
it looks really, really cool, but there is a problem.
A really big problems.
Is the left click is inconsistent.
It's like a gamble.
Sometimes you click and you get nothing.
(mouse clicks)
So I'm gonna loosen that up over time just by doing this.
(mouse clicks)
Everything else works wonderfully.
(mouse clicks)
And you can even turn on RGB.
(mouse clicks)
Ooh, yeah.
Whoa.
Got to put the feet back on and put on some grip tapes.
Got some navy blue and a white and black grip tape here.
(plastic crinkles)
How do I peel this?
- I was able to put it back together
and it looks pretty cool, I gotta say,
but it definitely looks like a Spiderman-themed mouse.
There's one more step I wanna do.
And that's to add some of this grip tape.
I'm gonna set that up and then we'll keep going.
- We went to Academy this morning to buy this grip tape.
Apparently, it's for bats.
To hold your bat nicely so it doesn't slip
when you're hitting a home run.
We cut out the outline and stuck it on.
It was quite easy, although Jake seems to be having
a little bit of difficulty.
If you can see me.
I, however, had an easy time with my little child scissors.
♪ Eh ah ah ho ha ho ha heh ♪
Okay, Jake did a pretty good job.
It looks great.
But for some reason, I'm reminded of another superhero
when looking at this footage.
(Betty chuckles)
I did mine slightly differently.
I used blue tape to trace and outline of clicky parts,
and then I put it on the grip tape and cut it out slowly
and meticulously with my bare hands.
So beautiful.
It looks so good.
Here, check it out.
Mm.
(intense music)
I finally finished and there's still some issues,
but we're gonna see if it works.
Time for the magical moment.
(mouse clinks)
(mouse clicks)
It looks that's pretty good.
I knew you would do it.
Spiderman!
(mouse clicks)
Moment of truth.
The two mice work for the most part.
To decide the winner we're gonna go to Micro Center,
stand in the front and ask random people,
which one they would rather get?
Let's go out in public and humiliate ourselves publicly.
- I'm kind of excited though.
I wanna see who wins, but I'm feeling pretty confident
that I'll win.
(mouse clicks)
- We're gonna let a total stranger decide who wins
at Micro Center.
Let's go.
All right, we've got our first contestant here.
Who will help us pick which mouse is the winner.
- Okay.
- We've got this one.
You can-
- Sure, what are our criteria, what're we working with?
- With beauty, looks primarily.
- Okay, we're going over the looks.
Perfect. - Okay.
This one is Spiderman-themed.
- Okay.
- It's got grip tape on the sides.
- Nice.
- Red. - Nice.
- Blue. - Nice.
- And blue clickies here.
(mouse clicks) - Got a couple
macro buttons as well.
- Yeah. - Nice.
- And this one is Naruto themed (laughs)
with the leaf and village.
- Okay.
- And the kyuubi on the side.
- All right.
- With his colors of orange.
- Absolutely.
- Yellow and blue.
- Nice.
- All right?
It's got a nice gradient shell to it.
- Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah.
- All right, what are we thinking
- Let's see.
- Is the winner here?
- You know what, for the heck of it
I'll go with the animated theme.
- All right. (laughs)
That one's mine.
- Oh, yeah.
- One for me.
- There you go, all cool.
All right, thank you so much.
- Yeah, not a problem.
Y'all have a good one. - Appreciate that.
- All right, you too. (laughs)
