1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,200
you could be in a dollar store a pharmacy or maybe you just wandered a

2
00:00:03,439 --> 00:00:10,480
little too far from the vegetable aisle and someone's going to be trying to sell

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:13,519
you an RGB keyboard or a gaming headset

4
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:15,839
and it turns out that even hardware

5
00:00:13,519 --> 00:00:20,640
stores these days have a pretty decent selection once you sift through all the

6
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:24,960
cordless drills and lumber so if you're a father whose family was brainwashed by

7
00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:29,039
big power tool into believing you wanted one of these for your last

8
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:33,719
birthday you might have some unused store credit to spend on a different

9
00:00:31,519 --> 00:00:39,239
kind of Hardware which raises the question what can you get from the local

10
00:00:36,559 --> 00:00:44,879
home desperate or its online counterpart to trick out your gaming setup a lot it

11
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:46,879
turns out if you're inventive inventive

12
00:00:44,879 --> 00:00:51,360
like this totally original segue to our sponsor Ridge they've recently launched

13
00:00:49,239 --> 00:00:56,600
some out of this world NASA branded wallets and key cases one of the designs

14
00:00:53,840 --> 00:01:00,760
even glows in the dark can you do that check them out using the link in the

15
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:04,839
description the most obvious PC related items that you might expect to find are

16
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:11,040
going to be desks and chairs and you won't be disappointed that is unless you

17
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:16,000
look a little closer they sell many different combos for one convenient

18
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:17,960
price like this uh 48 in Black computer

19
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:23,799
desk and black plus pink massage recliner chair but well there's no

20
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:25,759
charitable way to put this I'm afraid so

21
00:01:23,799 --> 00:01:30,400
yeah these combos from costway are seemingly all rebrands of Alibaba

22
00:01:28,119 --> 00:01:37,960
specials with gimmicks like head headr speakers and led piping

23
00:01:33,759 --> 00:01:40,680
accents let's take a look at it oh wow I

24
00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:47,439
mean that's kind of cool but the fact that they edited out the brand name on

25
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:50,159
the website is kind of telling um oh I

26
00:01:47,439 --> 00:01:53,119
was going to say it looks rather okay although it's a bit on kind of the

27
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:57,079
smaller side compared to what you might think from the pictures but then I

28
00:01:54,799 --> 00:02:00,360
touched it it's not really an add aesque style chair you can't even shove it

29
00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:06,520
around but o oh it's

30
00:02:02,399 --> 00:02:06,520
powered all right what are we looking at

31
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:13,400
here oh my God it vibrates I can't

32
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:18,080
really tell what the plus minus buttons are supposed to be doing or the up Arrow

33
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:25,280
it just stopped oh it's different kinds of

34
00:02:21,959 --> 00:02:29,319
pulses so yeah the massage feature is

35
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:32,480
kind of great as a marketing gimmick but

36
00:02:29,319 --> 00:02:34,920
the massage aers or I mean vibrators

37
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:41,879
realistically are only in the lumbar pillow here which conveniently is

38
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:43,280
impossible to reposition or remove so in

39
00:02:41,879 --> 00:02:46,120
summary if you're in the market for a massage chair that includes back pain as

40
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:51,800
a feature gyx has got you covered the

41
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:56,519
really bizarre part though is even if the manufacturer doesn't know Home Depot

42
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:00,920
should know that this isn't a desk chair it uh it gets worse as it says on the

43
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:05,159
script here don't let the faux carbon fiber fool you

44
00:03:03,319 --> 00:03:11,519
here folks oh no this desk makes the chair looks

45
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:17,400
strong and competent by comparison oh

46
00:03:11,519 --> 00:03:20,920
wow okay the cup holder and oh headphone

47
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:24,120
Mount kind of nice touches but other

48
00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:27,799
than that my friends oh

49
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:30,799
wow we're looking at a pile of hollow

50
00:03:27,799 --> 00:03:32,640
metal and MDF that is held together with

51
00:03:30,799 --> 00:03:37,840
nothing more than poorly threaded hex screws and hope and once again there's

52
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:42,519
more wrong with it than just the build quality like look at the depth of this

53
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:46,599
monitor shelf how am I supposed to put any Modern Display on this thing do do

54
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:52,159
you want to know what we paid for it oh God I guess the desk and the chair are

55
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:56,560
currently $320 that is far more than I would pay

56
00:03:54,599 --> 00:04:01,159
for those and we had to pay somebody to drive down to the United States to grab

57
00:03:58,799 --> 00:04:07,239
it and bring it back up and we had to pay for gas to match the look we've gone

58
00:04:03,959 --> 00:04:10,760
with the Apex Pro skeleton carbon fiber

59
00:04:07,239 --> 00:04:14,040
case from alpha cool

60
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:16,120
that feels really bad or rather the case

61
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:20,400
itself feels great it's carbon fiber and machined aluminum but after Alpha cool

62
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:26,160
generously provided it for the video it feels insulting to them to pair it with

63
00:04:22,919 --> 00:04:28,919
this awful desk the last major issue is

64
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:33,759
that the desk and the chair are at two completely different heights so you'll

65
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:39,000
either need to lift your chair which I remind you came with the desk up to

66
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:44,759
match the height or you'll have to lower your desk somehow maybe with a hacksaw

67
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:47,199
from the Home Depot or or what about

68
00:04:44,759 --> 00:04:51,120
this Nifty after market keyboard tray due to the Cross brace that supports the

69
00:04:49,039 --> 00:04:54,960
top of the desk which I was kind of surprised to see we had to use some

70
00:04:52,919 --> 00:05:00,120
scrap pieces of wood to mount it but with this attached and this led desk mat

71
00:04:57,919 --> 00:05:04,560
to hide the spot where uh we accidentally drilled a little bit too

72
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:12,080
far into the MDF we can now use our keyboard at a much more reasonable

73
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:14,680
height oh I mean adjustable

74
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:18,120
height oh what keyboard you ask originally we tried to get our hands on

75
00:05:16,479 --> 00:05:21,720
one of the mechanical keyboards that's listed on the Home Depot website but

76
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:27,680
they didn't seem to have any in stock when we went to make the purchase so

77
00:05:23,479 --> 00:05:30,240
instead oh thank you we got this iive

78
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:35,800
3in one pack with a keyboard mouse and headset you like 3D games well how do

79
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:38,960
you like 6D games before we power everything up I assume this power strip

80
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:42,919
came from the Home Depot yes it's even their commercial electric brand this is

81
00:05:40,759 --> 00:05:48,600
one of the things I actually would trust from what we purchased I assume we chose

82
00:05:45,479 --> 00:05:51,039
this particular one for its RGB effect

83
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:54,120
oh there it is okay I mean yeah sure that's kind of

84
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:57,919
cool it's got the little Keyhole mounting thing so it'll be compatible

85
00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:03,240
with our cable management from LTT Store.com so yeah you just unscrew it

86
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:08,639
and then you've got this weird flared thing at the top here so you stick that

87
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:11,000
into the keyhole slide it in and then you just

88
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:17,919
twist and that's it once I'm in this set

89
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:20,639
man my back hurts yep like already yep

90
00:06:17,919 --> 00:06:25,479
I'm I'm shocked like I have spent extended periods of time sitting on a

91
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:30,360
wooden box or on a bucket for shoots and I don't think I've

92
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:35,360
experienced this kind of like sharp back pain who knows though maybe the quality

93
00:06:32,319 --> 00:06:38,319
of these peripherals will make up for it

94
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:44,080
oh wow this mouse is terrible I don't even have to whip it

95
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:48,000
that hard to completely lose tracking oh

96
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:50,120
my God I suck I can't hit anything you

97
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:55,440
guys have seen me play FPS before I'm not this bad I swear it to you probably

98
00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:00,919
the most interesting thing about the peripherals is none of what I've talked

99
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:03,759
about so far but rather when we look at

100
00:07:00,919 --> 00:07:09,280
them in USB device treeviewer we can see that and this was for the keyboard right

101
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:11,400
yes it was made at least in part by woi

102
00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:15,800
semico a brand that appears to be a subsidiary of CR micro a company that is

103
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:20,840
primarily owned by the government of China I guess CCP officials really like

104
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:24,479
drum and bass or at least half of it I don't know about drum they've got a lot

105
00:07:22,039 --> 00:07:27,960
of bass to their social credit they are pretty comfortable for a pair of really

106
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:35,639
really cheap headphones we did buy another pair of headphones that just were the worst feeling so we went with

107
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:38,639
these but actually you want to try those second that second pair of headphones

108
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:46,440
sure don't have to talk about it at all past the feeling of it but oh they're on

109
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,440
ears whoa

110
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:55,000
oh saved it the good news is even if we

111
00:07:52,879 --> 00:07:59,800
had broken this monitor we had the solution ready to go cuz frankly the

112
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:05,199
ergonomics were not great the way it was that's why we picked up this PR mounts

113
00:08:02,159 --> 00:08:06,560
monitor ARM wow I just about hit myself

114
00:08:05,199 --> 00:08:10,800
in the face with it because I was expecting it to be a lot heavier to its

115
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:15,479
credit it's pretty easy to set up and has reasonable cable routing built into

116
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:22,280
it and supports monitors up to 32 in and 17 lb which should be perfect for this

117
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:25,120
27in Sansui monitor it's only 1080p

118
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:30,120
which is not great considering the price but it has a 100 HZ refresh rate which

119
00:08:28,199 --> 00:08:35,360
also isn't great considering the price Tanner what is the price uh we paid 230

120
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:41,279
for it but if we had have bought it on Amazon it would have been uh

121
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:43,360
100 cool also I couldn't help noticing

122
00:08:41,279 --> 00:08:47,279
that there's a bit of Leverage on that yeah I'm afraid to let go uh this

123
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:53,399
actually might be a good time to introduce the speakers because the speakers have a nice little feature

124
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:56,839
where they will help keep this up are they a counterweight not so much a

125
00:08:55,440 --> 00:09:02,680
counterweight as it is a loadbearing cardboard box if we can just

126
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:08,640
there it doesn't quite fit uh I need shims should be able to just fit in

127
00:09:05,399 --> 00:09:10,880
there okay am I the only one confused by

128
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:17,240
this first things first the volume control is on the subwoofer which is not

129
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:21,040
normal and then second of all these

130
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:24,320
speakers fire backwards that is correct

131
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:28,079
yes no that's not correct uh but the

132
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,079
RGB's on the front

133
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:38,560
the only difference that I can detect from turning the bass knob all the way

134
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:45,360
left and all the way right is that this box vibrates more or less this is as

135
00:09:41,680 --> 00:09:48,240
loud as they get I have it maxed both on

136
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:53,440
the speakers and in Windows it sounds so much better over here than it does over

137
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:56,560
there it almost gives it a sense of like

138
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:59,600
spatial though no I mean there's no

139
00:09:56,560 --> 00:10:02,480
accuracy to it obviously but it know

140
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:06,519
kind of sounds like it's all around you cuz that's where it is instead of

141
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:13,480
pointing at you so this monitor claims 72% coverage of the ntsc color gamut

142
00:10:10,560 --> 00:10:18,880
that checks out I don't remember the last time I saw a modern monitor that

143
00:10:15,839 --> 00:10:21,040
was this unsaturated especially an IPS

144
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:25,600
panel and 100 HZ is definitely better than 60 HZ at a low enough price I could

145
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:30,680
see this monitor being a pretty okay choice at

146
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:32,839
$220 it's horrible able the mouse is

147
00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:40,240
bothering me a little less oh if that's bothering you you should try out

148
00:10:35,279 --> 00:10:42,440
this oh the goal mut tree wearable

149
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:48,560
pointing device Mouse okay hold on a second what Hope Depot carries this

150
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:53,639
after pairing to the gold Moon Mouse yam I am treated to this little what are

151
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:57,600
these called again infrared trackers or something like that I I forget how these

152
00:10:55,560 --> 00:11:02,800
work I've always referred to them just as as BlackBerry trackpads I mean you

153
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:06,880
know what that's fair yeah you got a little little trackpad thing here and

154
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:11,800
then you got some buttons I guess for like web browsing web browsing or just

155
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:16,440
general Mouse features I mean you've got right click middle click scroll up

156
00:11:13,399 --> 00:11:19,040
scroll down yeah this is pretty usable

157
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:26,079
can I game with it though oh yeah yeah yeah here we go let's go eat

158
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:27,800
it for all its imperfections uh we did

159
00:11:26,079 --> 00:11:31,480
have some difficulty pairing it to a new device when it was in range of the old

160
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:35,920
one it would just automatically connect every time with no obvious way to repair

161
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:40,519
it to something new this is not nearly as crud as pretty much everything else

162
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:46,040
that we've touched today I would say this is pretty usable if you had a

163
00:11:42,279 --> 00:11:48,320
situation that merited it this is not

164
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:54,440
one of them you know it's a funny thing how each individual piece of this is

165
00:11:51,839 --> 00:11:59,320
functionally manufactured garbage and yet when you put the whole thing

166
00:11:56,560 --> 00:12:03,639
together you almost end up with a hole that's greater than the sum of its parts

167
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:07,040
it's kind of like a jury rigged scorpion chair maybe we should do a repeat of

168
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:12,720
that experiment where we have someone use it for a month odds are they need a

169
00:12:09,680 --> 00:12:15,120
better webcam and oh yeah he's way ahead

170
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:23,199
of me and a wow Monster Cable still exists 4K

171
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:29,519
60fps for gaming streaming vlogging and social media this packaging is writing

172
00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:32,720
some checks that uh I sincerely that

173
00:12:29,519 --> 00:12:34,959
this webcam is going to be able to cash

174
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:40,120
you know when your brand was already built on builing people out of way more

175
00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:44,000
money than your product's worth it's kind of impressive when you can take it

176
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:49,240
to another level like this how is this managing to be out of focus right now

177
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:55,959
and it's about to get better because I have the Audio Technica atg M1

178
00:12:52,519 --> 00:12:57,880
USB sure it's not the best mic that you

179
00:12:55,959 --> 00:13:01,800
can get and not even the best mic that you can get for $50 but I expect it to

180
00:13:00,279 --> 00:13:06,560
be a lot better than any of the other mics connected to this system Tanner

181
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:11,240
would you mind let's get

182
00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:13,639

permanently destroyed huh well I take back

184
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:22,959
everything nice I ever said about the mounted there's no obvious other place

185
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:27,040
to grab on to to adjust it like I'm pretty sure you're supposed to grab this

186
00:13:25,519 --> 00:13:32,480
dialog subtract at sub

187
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:34,720
narrator window heading level sketch I don't think the computer likes when you

188
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:40,399
do that so this is MDF and these are just

189
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:44,360
little posts that are embedded in it and it ripped apart I was going to try to

190
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:49,240
