WEBVTT

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.200
you could be in a dollar store a pharmacy or maybe you just wandered a

00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:10.480
little too far from the vegetable aisle and someone's going to be trying to sell

00:00:06.680 --> 00:00:13.519
you an RGB keyboard or a gaming headset

00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:15.839
and it turns out that even hardware

00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:20.640
stores these days have a pretty decent selection once you sift through all the

00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:24.960
cordless drills and lumber so if you're a father whose family was brainwashed by

00:00:23.240 --> 00:00:29.039
big power tool into believing you wanted one of these for your last

00:00:26.880 --> 00:00:33.719
birthday you might have some unused store credit to spend on a different

00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:39.239
kind of Hardware which raises the question what can you get from the local

00:00:36.559 --> 00:00:44.879
home desperate or its online counterpart to trick out your gaming setup a lot it

00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:46.879
turns out if you're inventive inventive

00:00:44.879 --> 00:00:51.360
like this totally original segue to our sponsor Ridge they've recently launched

00:00:49.239 --> 00:00:56.600
some out of this world NASA branded wallets and key cases one of the designs

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

00:00:58.120 --> 00:01:04.839
description the most obvious PC related items that you might expect to find are

00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:11.040
going to be desks and chairs and you won't be disappointed that is unless you

00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:16.000
look a little closer they sell many different combos for one convenient

00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:17.960
price like this uh 48 in Black computer

00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:23.799
desk and black plus pink massage recliner chair but well there's no

00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:25.759
charitable way to put this I'm afraid so

00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:30.400
yeah these combos from costway are seemingly all rebrands of Alibaba

00:01:28.119 --> 00:01:37.960
specials with gimmicks like head headr speakers and led piping

00:01:33.759 --> 00:01:40.680
accents let's take a look at it oh wow I

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

00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:50.159
the website is kind of telling um oh I

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

00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:57.079
smaller side compared to what you might think from the pictures but then I

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

00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:06.520
around but o oh it's

00:02:02.399 --> 00:02:06.520
powered all right what are we looking at

00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:13.400
here oh my God it vibrates I can't

00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:18.080
really tell what the plus minus buttons are supposed to be doing or the up Arrow

00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:25.280
it just stopped oh it's different kinds of

00:02:21.959 --> 00:02:29.319
pulses so yeah the massage feature is

00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:32.480
kind of great as a marketing gimmick but

00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:34.920
the massage aers or I mean vibrators

00:02:32.480 --> 00:02:41.879
realistically are only in the lumbar pillow here which conveniently is

00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:43.280
impossible to reposition or remove so in

00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:46.120
summary if you're in the market for a massage chair that includes back pain as

00:02:45.440 --> 00:02:51.800
a feature gyx has got you covered the

00:02:50.200 --> 00:02:56.519
really bizarre part though is even if the manufacturer doesn't know Home Depot

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

00:02:59.040 --> 00:03:05.159
script here don't let the faux carbon fiber fool you

00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:11.519
here folks oh no this desk makes the chair looks

00:03:08.440 --> 00:03:17.400
strong and competent by comparison oh

00:03:11.519 --> 00:03:20.920
wow okay the cup holder and oh headphone

00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:24.120
Mount kind of nice touches but other

00:03:20.920 --> 00:03:27.799
than that my friends oh

00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:30.799
wow we're looking at a pile of hollow

00:03:27.799 --> 00:03:32.640
metal and MDF that is held together with

00:03:30.799 --> 00:03:37.840
nothing more than poorly threaded hex screws and hope and once again there's

00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:42.519
more wrong with it than just the build quality like look at the depth of this

00:03:39.920 --> 00:03:46.599
monitor shelf how am I supposed to put any Modern Display on this thing do do

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

00:03:50.040 --> 00:03:56.560
currently $320 that is far more than I would pay

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

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

00:04:03.959 --> 00:04:10.760
with the Apex Pro skeleton carbon fiber

00:04:07.239 --> 00:04:14.040
case from alpha cool

00:04:10.760 --> 00:04:16.120
that feels really bad or rather the case

00:04:14.040 --> 00:04:20.400
itself feels great it's carbon fiber and machined aluminum but after Alpha cool

00:04:18.440 --> 00:04:26.160
generously provided it for the video it feels insulting to them to pair it with

00:04:22.919 --> 00:04:28.919
this awful desk the last major issue is

00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:33.759
that the desk and the chair are at two completely different heights so you'll

00:04:31.440 --> 00:04:39.000
either need to lift your chair which I remind you came with the desk up to

00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:44.759
match the height or you'll have to lower your desk somehow maybe with a hacksaw

00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:47.199
from the Home Depot or or what about

00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:51.120
this Nifty after market keyboard tray due to the Cross brace that supports the

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

00:04:52.919 --> 00:05:00.120
scrap pieces of wood to mount it but with this attached and this led desk mat

00:04:57.919 --> 00:05:04.560
to hide the spot where uh we accidentally drilled a little bit too

00:05:02.400 --> 00:05:12.080
far into the MDF we can now use our keyboard at a much more reasonable

00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:14.680
height oh I mean adjustable

00:05:12.080 --> 00:05:18.120
height oh what keyboard you ask originally we tried to get our hands on

00:05:16.479 --> 00:05:21.720
one of the mechanical keyboards that's listed on the Home Depot website but

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

00:05:23.479 --> 00:05:30.240
instead oh thank you we got this iive

00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:35.800
3in one pack with a keyboard mouse and headset you like 3D games well how do

00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:38.960
you like 6D games before we power everything up I assume this power strip

00:05:37.400 --> 00:05:42.919
came from the Home Depot yes it's even their commercial electric brand this is

00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:48.600
one of the things I actually would trust from what we purchased I assume we chose

00:05:45.479 --> 00:05:51.039
this particular one for its RGB effect

00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:54.120
oh there it is okay I mean yeah sure that's kind of

00:05:52.080 --> 00:05:57.919
cool it's got the little Keyhole mounting thing so it'll be compatible

00:05:55.720 --> 00:06:03.240
with our cable management from LTT Store.com so yeah you just unscrew it

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

00:06:05.960 --> 00:06:11.000
into the keyhole slide it in and then you just

00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:17.919
twist and that's it once I'm in this set

00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:20.639
man my back hurts yep like already yep

00:06:17.919 --> 00:06:25.479
I'm I'm shocked like I have spent extended periods of time sitting on a

00:06:22.520 --> 00:06:30.360
wooden box or on a bucket for shoots and I don't think I've

00:06:28.080 --> 00:06:35.360
experienced this kind of like sharp back pain who knows though maybe the quality

00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:38.319
of these peripherals will make up for it

00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:44.080
oh wow this mouse is terrible I don't even have to whip it

00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:48.000
that hard to completely lose tracking oh

00:06:44.080 --> 00:06:50.120
my God I suck I can't hit anything you

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

00:06:54.000 --> 00:07:00.919
the most interesting thing about the peripherals is none of what I've talked

00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:03.759
about so far but rather when we look at

00:07:00.919 --> 00:07:09.280
them in USB device treeviewer we can see that and this was for the keyboard right

00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:11.400
yes it was made at least in part by woi

00:07:09.280 --> 00:07:15.800
semico a brand that appears to be a subsidiary of CR micro a company that is

00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:20.840
primarily owned by the government of China I guess CCP officials really like

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

00:07:22.039 --> 00:07:27.960
of bass to their social credit they are pretty comfortable for a pair of really

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

00:07:33.400 --> 00:07:38.639
these but actually you want to try those second that second pair of headphones

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

00:07:42.960 --> 00:07:46.440
ears whoa

00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:55.000
oh saved it the good news is even if we

00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:59.800
had broken this monitor we had the solution ready to go cuz frankly the

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

00:08:02.159 --> 00:08:06.560
monitor ARM wow I just about hit myself

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

00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:15.479
credit it's pretty easy to set up and has reasonable cable routing built into

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

00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:25.120
27in Sansui monitor it's only 1080p

00:08:22.280 --> 00:08:30.120
which is not great considering the price but it has a 100 HZ refresh rate which

00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:35.360
also isn't great considering the price Tanner what is the price uh we paid 230

00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:41.279
for it but if we had have bought it on Amazon it would have been uh

00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:43.360
100 cool also I couldn't help noticing

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

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

00:08:51.800 --> 00:08:56.839
where they will help keep this up are they a counterweight not so much a

00:08:55.440 --> 00:09:02.680
counterweight as it is a loadbearing cardboard box if we can just

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

00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:10.880
there okay am I the only one confused by

00:09:08.640 --> 00:09:17.240
this first things first the volume control is on the subwoofer which is not

00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:21.040
normal and then second of all these

00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:24.320
speakers fire backwards that is correct

00:09:21.040 --> 00:09:28.079
yes no that's not correct uh but the

00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:28.079
RGB's on the front

00:09:32.040 --> 00:09:38.560
the only difference that I can detect from turning the bass knob all the way

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

00:09:41.680 --> 00:09:48.240
loud as they get I have it maxed both on

00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:53.440
the speakers and in Windows it sounds so much better over here than it does over

00:09:49.920 --> 00:09:56.560
there it almost gives it a sense of like

00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:59.600
spatial though no I mean there's no

00:09:56.560 --> 00:10:02.480
accuracy to it obviously but it know

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

00:10:03.800 --> 00:10:13.480
pointing at you so this monitor claims 72% coverage of the ntsc color gamut

00:10:10.560 --> 00:10:18.880
that checks out I don't remember the last time I saw a modern monitor that

00:10:15.839 --> 00:10:21.040
was this unsaturated especially an IPS

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

00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:30.680
see this monitor being a pretty okay choice at

00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:32.839
$220 it's horrible able the mouse is

00:10:30.680 --> 00:10:40.240
bothering me a little less oh if that's bothering you you should try out

00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:42.440
this oh the goal mut tree wearable

00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:48.560
pointing device Mouse okay hold on a second what Hope Depot carries this

00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:53.639
after pairing to the gold Moon Mouse yam I am treated to this little what are

00:10:50.800 --> 00:10:57.600
these called again infrared trackers or something like that I I forget how these

00:10:55.560 --> 00:11:02.800
work I've always referred to them just as as BlackBerry trackpads I mean you

00:11:00.920 --> 00:11:06.880
know what that's fair yeah you got a little little trackpad thing here and

00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:11.800
then you got some buttons I guess for like web browsing web browsing or just

00:11:10.040 --> 00:11:16.440
general Mouse features I mean you've got right click middle click scroll up

00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:19.040
scroll down yeah this is pretty usable

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

00:11:22.800 --> 00:11:27.800
it for all its imperfections uh we did

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

00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:35.920
one it would just automatically connect every time with no obvious way to repair

00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:40.519
it to something new this is not nearly as crud as pretty much everything else

00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:46.040
that we've touched today I would say this is pretty usable if you had a

00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:48.320
situation that merited it this is not

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

00:11:51.839 --> 00:11:59.320
functionally manufactured garbage and yet when you put the whole thing

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

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

00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:12.720
that experiment where we have someone use it for a month odds are they need a

00:12:09.680 --> 00:12:15.120
better webcam and oh yeah he's way ahead

00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:23.199
of me and a wow Monster Cable still exists 4K

00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:29.519
60fps for gaming streaming vlogging and social media this packaging is writing

00:12:25.680 --> 00:12:32.720
some checks that uh I sincerely that

00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:34.959
this webcam is going to be able to cash

00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:40.120
you know when your brand was already built on builing people out of way more

00:12:37.680 --> 00:12:44.000
money than your product's worth it's kind of impressive when you can take it

00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:49.240
to another level like this how is this managing to be out of focus right now

00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:55.959
and it's about to get better because I have the Audio Technica atg M1

00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:57.880
USB sure it's not the best mic that you

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

00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:06.560
be a lot better than any of the other mics connected to this system Tanner

00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:11.240
would you mind let's get

00:13:06.560 --> 00:13:13.639
our game on Gamers oh that is

00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:18.040
permanently destroyed huh well I take back
