WEBVTT

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.680
gentlemen we all know that companies love putting gaming in their product

00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:09.360
names but while this is a meaningful descriptor for some components for

00:00:07.600 --> 00:00:13.519
others it's nothing more than marketing gobbly [ __ ] your task is to arrange

00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:17.440
these gaming parts on the board according to the most legitimate you

00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:21.520
know what i'll go first i would say a gaming mouse is legitimately

00:00:19.840 --> 00:00:25.600
very gaming why'd you put the mouse so high line is this this should be at the

00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:29.519
top well no because a gaming mouse is more likely to have

00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:33.360
better gaming you try to head shots with a quadro dude yeah

00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:37.760
especially with the new car new drivers get out of here

00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:37.760
and i'm standing by it

00:00:39.360 --> 00:00:46.960
oh no it's off the charts we got SSD we're putting this way down

00:00:43.760 --> 00:00:49.280
here boys off the charts again yeah yeah

00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:54.960
yeah well i mean gaming monitors i would say like probably go right over whoa

00:00:52.160 --> 00:00:59.680
like more than a mouse okay i'm gonna say that gaming RAM probably makes more

00:00:57.120 --> 00:01:03.680
of a difference than gaming SSD because it does tend to have lower latency oh

00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:06.640
okay yeah i can get behind that i also think the RGB makes you feel better

00:01:05.360 --> 00:01:10.000
about yourself and so you're going to perform better that's true so maybe

00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:13.200
interesting they're accounting for a placebo effect

00:01:12.320 --> 00:01:18.960
okay gaming headphones oh that can tell you where the enemies

00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:23.119
are yeah so can regular headphones that's true to a quadro what are you

00:01:21.360 --> 00:01:27.479
comparing it to we're comparing it to products called gaming

00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:39.439
now let's see how our participants respond to gaming desk

00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:43.520
sorry what

00:01:43.520 --> 00:01:46.640
no strong disagree

00:01:47.600 --> 00:01:55.439
oh oh that is wow throw in a cup holder perhaps for

00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:59.280
your energy drink would that improve gaming performance

00:01:57.360 --> 00:02:02.880
but that wouldn't be for performance the drink is improving performance your

00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:06.079
confounding variables but if you have to put it somewhere else

00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:10.160
and go grab it every time you want to drink

00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:13.599
that could hurt your gaming performance yeah well yeah if it doesn't have a cup

00:02:11.920 --> 00:02:16.480
holder it has that okay all right i'm getting

00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:22.400
it it's likely to hurt me but we gotta probably have we gotta assume it has RGB

00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:27.840
i think we just leave it there so is there such a thing as a gaming desk

00:02:24.480 --> 00:02:31.560
let's see what the sharkoon skiller sgd1

00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:31.560
brings to the table

00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:43.920
the nuforce b36 has a new version using the latest in true wireless technology

00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:47.120
like their new mono mode for one ear use while maintaining audio file quality

00:02:45.440 --> 00:02:56.640
sound check it out at the link in the video description

00:02:56.640 --> 00:03:04.400
first let's start with the facts the sgd1 is a 55 by 27.5 inch desk that

00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:08.080
stands 31 inches tall it's got a wooden table top with a

00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:13.680
scratch and apparently splash resistant coating and hefty triangular steel legs

00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:16.879
on balance the desk feels robust and sturdy

00:03:15.040 --> 00:03:21.120
it's a good desk but is there anything about it that makes it

00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:25.360
a gaming desk other than it's explicit but not in my opinion over-the-top game

00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:30.400
ray looks well sharkun claims that the desk does

00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:34.799
indeed have specialized functionality for gamers though i'm not sure i really

00:03:32.640 --> 00:03:39.120
buy it let's go through these features one by one shall we

00:03:36.640 --> 00:03:42.239
first the tabletop is large enough for essential equipment

00:03:40.959 --> 00:03:46.159
well there's definitely enough room for a monitor keyboard and mouse though you

00:03:44.720 --> 00:03:49.519
might have difficulty fitting your desktop on there too depending on how

00:03:47.920 --> 00:03:53.120
big your case is especially considering the shape of the desk kind of prevents

00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:56.400
you from comfortably sliding the rest of your stuff over still i'll let them have

00:03:55.440 --> 00:04:01.599
this one next it's the ergonomically chamfered

00:03:59.040 --> 00:04:06.720
edges that ensure comfortable gaming and working even over long periods they're

00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:10.720
talking about this little slope here but it's surprisingly sweet it's easy on

00:04:09.519 --> 00:04:14.799
your mouse ARM and if you pull the keyboard close to the edge it makes a

00:04:12.799 --> 00:04:18.079
really nice natural wrist rest because your wrists are in a neutral position

00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:22.800
rather than extended which can contribute to repetitive stress injuries

00:04:20.400 --> 00:04:27.680
this one definitely counts but the strangest claim is that the protruding

00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:31.280
elements at each side provide convenient support for the elbows

00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:37.680
the elbows really this one wasn't working for me so i

00:04:34.080 --> 00:04:37.680
enlisted the help of the other riders

00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:43.840
do people game like this

00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:51.280
oh that's way better

00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:55.199
well there's two ways that i can see

00:04:54.400 --> 00:05:00.160
one is if you have two

00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:03.600
gaming computers for like

00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:07.280
i don't know team play or something you've got an armrest right here and an

00:05:05.520 --> 00:05:10.720
armrest right over there that's actually a pretty good point i didn't realize

00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:14.240
that i was using this edge but would it really matter if i if i

00:05:13.039 --> 00:05:16.720
didn't have the sketch i would still be over here

00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:27.520
apparently pro gamers use their whole arms when they move the mess around and

00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:32.240
you gotta like teach yourself to do this if you've got like a lot

00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:36.240
of travel this actually lets you get a bit more

00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:41.600
movement with the mouse it's not bad

00:05:38.960 --> 00:05:45.440
you got to be leaning right in basically you need to be a sniper i

00:05:43.280 --> 00:05:49.280
guess i think i get the advantage of being up close rather than having a big

00:05:47.280 --> 00:05:52.800
monitor or whatever look at look at the amount of control that i have because my

00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:57.360
elbow is there i could pawn so many more noobs normally

00:05:54.639 --> 00:06:00.720
i can pawn like four to five this is a 8 9 situation

00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:06.000
okay i'm still not sure about that one but there's actually a fair few features

00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:09.680
that other gaming deaths offer that this one does not like a full surface mouse

00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:14.080
pad headphone hanger or RGB lights

00:06:14.400 --> 00:06:17.440
no RGB

00:06:17.840 --> 00:06:25.039
but the sgd one does have a couple design elements that are nice to have

00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:26.960
for any desk gamer or not including the

00:06:25.039 --> 00:06:30.960
wobble killing adjustable feet integrated cable management tray and

00:06:28.960 --> 00:06:35.120
this lovely little recess that ensures you can run cables off the desk's edge

00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:38.400
and still be able to push it flush against the wall

00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:42.479
very nice so should you buy this desk

00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:47.520
while i don't think it's going to give me any more FPS i found it very easy to

00:06:45.039 --> 00:06:51.280
assemble in just under 35 minutes with nice build quality despite the holes on

00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:55.440
the underside not quite lining up perfectly but that didn't really take

00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:59.039
away from the structural integrity so if you like the look and i hope you like

00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:02.720
blue because it's the only color if you live in a region where this puppy's

00:07:00.479 --> 00:07:07.280
actually sold or especially if you already own matching skiller products

00:07:04.960 --> 00:07:10.000
this is a desk you can really stand behind

00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:15.280
