1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,200 Tommy Hilfiger was everywhere in the 90s on Snoop Dogg, Britney Spears, and many 2 00:00:05,359 --> 00:00:11,360 more. Not that I cared. This may surprise you, but I've never really been 3 00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:19,520 into fashion. Now, though, they're getting into MySpace gaming. And you 4 00:00:14,559 --> 00:00:21,680 guys know I love looking at some Oh, 5 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:26,560 well, this is different. We have seen some crap from major brands before. I 6 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:32,800 mean, normally it's fine, just a little too expensive. But this steaming pile of 7 00:00:29,679 --> 00:00:34,640 sweat shop garbage isn't just bad. Our 8 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:40,239 Labs team tested it out and the marketing for this is filled with actual 9 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:42,640 lies and deceit so egregious that it may 10 00:00:40,239 --> 00:00:45,920 actually be illegal. This is my first time touching it though. I don't even 11 00:00:44,239 --> 00:00:53,680 know how much this pile of trash cost me. You want to guess? 100 bucks. 150. 12 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:55,440 150. Is that real dollars? Yes. US. This 13 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:58,399 isn't the first time that Tommy Hilfiger has gotten into selling tech. They 14 00:00:57,039 --> 00:01:02,559 actually currently sell Bluetooth speakers and headphones as well as a 15 00:01:00,399 --> 00:01:07,439 battery bank, but this is their first foray into the gaming space. What's 16 00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:11,520 different this time is the level of effort. We don't have Tommy's previous 17 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:14,799 headphones here to comment on their sound quality, but it's easy to tell 18 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:19,119 from the photos that they achieve at least the bare minimum. They look like 19 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:26,400 they were made by Tommy Hilfiger. The gaming set. Well, um 20 00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:30,960 Oh, man. It uses an Which one is this? The ISO layout enter key. That's the 21 00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:34,640 worst one. Conveniently positioned for your sixth finger that happens to be a 22 00:01:32,799 --> 00:01:39,600 little bit longer than your pinky. They can't even manage to make it look 23 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:42,479 anything other than cheap and horrible. The really wild part is you've seen what 24 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:46,320 these guys do in their fashion photography and yet no amount of 25 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:52,159 Photoshop could make this look like anything but garbage. Oh my god, what 26 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:55,600 are these specs? 95% acryo nitral 27 00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:58,000 butadine styrene. How is that the very 28 00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:02,479 top of your key talking points? It's also just ABS plastic. It's used in 29 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:08,160 literally everything. I didn't even think about what ABS even 30 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:13,280 stood for. Why would you Why would you 31 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:15,840 type that? The mouse is 90% ABS and 10% 32 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:22,720 metal. I better not find anything other than ABS or metal in that mouse. What 33 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:25,040 metal? Headset. 10% sponge. 34 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:30,160 Why is this the very top of the product page? Okay, I'm sorry. Keyboard 35 00:02:27,599 --> 00:02:36,480 features. Easy clean, waterproof, and dustproof. You don't say. It says 36 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:41,760 waterproof. It does care. Spot clean 37 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:43,280 will do. Thomas. Oh my god. Alex, look. 38 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:47,840 This isn't just your regular old keyboard mouse headset. This is 39 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:51,360 imported. Yes, they've got a lot more specs actually on 40 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:57,680 the box than they do on the website. The gaming headset supposedly offers 41 00:02:53,280 --> 00:03:00,480 immersive surround sound. It is PS VA 42 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:06,800 compatible. Why would you mention the PS VA and the Nintendo 3DS? Wait, is this 43 00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:11,920 thing new? This came out in December and yet every mention of a supported console 44 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:14,879 is at least 5 years old. Okay, I'm sorry. I'm actually going to start 45 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:20,480 looking at this stuff now. I found the metal in the mouse. Metal? Is this a 46 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:24,159 removable weight system that needs actual screws? You're getting ahead of 47 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:27,920 yourself. There is a removable weight, but not that. That's not the removable 48 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:32,799 weight. You're not supposed to be taking it apart this early. Wait, I'm not allowed to take it apart yet. Just 49 00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:38,879 experience it. Okay, I'll take it apart later. It's really heavy for a modern 50 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:40,799 gaming mouse. It does have really mushy 51 00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:45,840 back and forward buttons. The back button has a significantly longer 52 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:49,440 travel. Wait, is this from us? I doubt it. Oh, 53 00:03:48,319 --> 00:03:55,519 yeah. No, it doesn't look like there's any screws under there, so I don't think that's actually from us. And only the 54 00:03:52,799 --> 00:03:59,519 finest large connector wire. I mean, who needs to plug anything into the next USB 55 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:03,920 port over, right? That's why you have dedicated USB ports on the front of your 56 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:09,439 computer for your mouse. Oh, I mean, it works. Hey, that looks pretty cool. 57 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:13,840 Backlight, four recurrent colors. Does it just cycle between four colors? Is 58 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:18,000 there a way to change it? No, this is actually like a decent RGB controller in 59 00:04:16,479 --> 00:04:26,160 here. Well, that's one thing that's good about it. Can you change the RGB things? 60 00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:28,720 Oh. Oh, no. I didn't see a software 61 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:33,759 download. Is there any way to actually control the RGB? That That's a feature 62 00:04:30,479 --> 00:04:35,919 Linus. No driver needed. No driver 63 00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:41,120 needed at all. Nothing. Does it have any indication of what DPI you're running 64 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:43,440 at? Perhaps. Do these change DPI? I 65 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:47,040 think they do. Why are you hitting it a bunch of times? Because I want to be 66 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:52,479 able to tell, but the range is only from 1,200 to 3200. So, that's not nearly as 67 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:57,280 wide as you might expect on a modern gaming mouse. I I'm pretty sure that the 68 00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:00,240 DPI adjust buttons are in fact here and here, but I guess there's no way to 69 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:05,520 reprogram any of these. You better be happy with back, forward, DPI, up and 70 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:07,199 down, and left and right click. The RGB 71 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,919 effect does look really cool though. Give credit where it's due. I mean, 72 00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:16,000 that's all that matters to gamers, right? I guess in order to go to the 73 00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:17,600 website, I'm gonna need this keyboard. 74 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:22,560 I don't think this weighs much more than the mouse does. 75 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:26,560 Uh oh. Wow. I don't recall the last time I saw a 76 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:32,479 keyboard that felt this generic and cheap. Honestly though, you've been able 77 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:37,560 to get like much better keyboards for 30 78 00:05:32,479 --> 00:05:37,560 bucks, 20 bucks on Amazon for years. 79 00:05:43,199 --> 00:05:50,240 Are these Is this a placeholder for where the num lock caps lock and scroll 80 00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:55,600 lock lights are supposed to go? They didn't even finish putting the legend on 81 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:58,080 it. This is the most OEM. We changed 82 00:05:55,600 --> 00:06:03,440 almost nothing thing I think I've ever seen. Tommy clearly had nothing to do 83 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:07,360 with this whatsoever. And that's not a compliment. That's an indicator that 84 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:10,560 he's just completely checked out of whatever products bear his name. Good 85 00:06:09,199 --> 00:06:14,400 quality silk screen here. But unfortunately, my X key is a reflection 86 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:19,280 of my current mood having spent 150 bucks for this. It's permanently 87 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:25,440 depressed. Can I get a rim shot editor, please, for that? Hello. 88 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:30,160 Is that going to Is that going to bad boy going to pop back up? Hey, there we 89 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:32,479 go. We got it. Nice. Has a dedicated 90 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:38,080 lighting key, though. I have high hopes for the RGB. The effort level is so low. 91 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:43,120 Not only could they not do their own mold for the USB port housing, they 92 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:48,400 couldn't even use the same one on both products. So like what? You couldn't 93 00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:52,880 find a cheap Chinese peripheral OEM to make both of them. You had to find two 94 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:57,440 different ones and then package them together. Clearly quality wasn't the 95 00:06:55,199 --> 00:07:00,560 main concern, Alex. So why not? If you want to know, they are both from Instant 96 00:06:59,039 --> 00:07:05,039 Micro Electronics. They're both from Instant Micro. Yeah. From the same 97 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:10,479 factory. So, they couldn't even order enough to have them change the housing 98 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:14,639 to be the same. Why do I have to try so hard? Do you know how hard we work to 99 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:19,520 differentiate LT store products to make them truly awesome? If all I have to do 100 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:22,960 is just slap my name on garbage and I can become a billionaire, like, why 101 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:29,440 don't I do it? How much is he worth anyway? Oh no. 102 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:35,680 It's the kind of RGB lighting with static red, green, and blue LEDs. They 103 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:40,800 don't actually change. I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent color mixing 104 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:45,919 on the multiple LEDs inside the mouse. This not so much. This appears to be a 105 00:07:43,599 --> 00:07:50,080 light diffuser pattern in the mold so that these lights won't be too bright. 106 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:58,160 They just didn't put the legend over top of it. Trigger gaming. Oh, I hate this 107 00:07:55,599 --> 00:08:02,800 keyboard. Now, I want to make this abundantly clear. I am not shaming 108 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:10,680 anyone who can't afford a better keyboard. That's fine. But if you had 109 00:08:05,599 --> 00:08:10,680 the money and you bought this anyway, 110 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:19,440 I don't know what to tell you. You're an NPC. Yes. I mean, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. 111 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:23,199 It's This is facts. A rainbow backlight 112 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:26,319 keyboard. I mean, technically, yes. A 113 00:08:23,199 --> 00:08:30,080 mouse with seven button design. I mean, 114 00:08:26,319 --> 00:08:34,000 yes. and a comfortable headset with 115 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:36,399 omnidirectional speaker sound. What the 116 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:41,039 does that even mean? That sounds like whoever did the merchandising for this 117 00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:45,600 page heard a word once in an audio context and kind of went, "Ooh, that 118 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:50,080 sounds cool." I promise you that these are regular old drivers like any other 119 00:08:47,839 --> 00:08:54,080 driver and they fire in one direction cuz they've got that one thing. They 120 00:08:52,399 --> 00:08:57,920 definitely don't know they're beautiful. No acknowledgement, nothing. Sorry, I 121 00:08:56,399 --> 00:09:03,040 was looking up what omniirectional means. So that means that the speaker is 122 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:04,720 not beaming, which given the performance 123 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:09,839 of the highs, they might actually be correct. When I hear omniirectional 124 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:16,320 speaker, what I expect is a speaker array that has balanced output in all 125 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:20,240 directions. That's what I would imagine omniirectional speaker means. Does it 126 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:24,240 say on this at all what the driver size is? 127 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:28,480 Oh, maybe. But it does say that the headphones are 7.3 inches in length. 128 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:32,240 When you have to start resorting to the length, width, and height of your 129 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:36,720 headphones to fill out a spec sheet that contains your headphones, your mouse, 130 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:40,720 and your keyboard, you know that you are scraping the absolute bottom of the 131 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:47,000 barrel, but you can look cool doing it. It sits on your neck when it's upside 132 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:47,000 down. Oh my god, you're right, Brandon. 133 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:54,720 How cool am I right now? 134 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:57,720 Regla, you I only wear the finest 135 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,720 brands. 136 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:08,160 These may be the cheapest drivers that I 137 00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:10,080 have ever put on my head. Listen to 138 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:17,120 this, Brandon. Hold on. I have to put this onto the mic so that I can show you 139 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:19,680 what I'm hearing right now. But um 140 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:24,000 that is the difference in air pressure from kind of pushing the drivers onto 141 00:10:22,399 --> 00:10:29,760 your head, kind of you know mushing the pads a little bit, causing the the 142 00:10:26,399 --> 00:10:32,959 driver inside the the membrane to just 143 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:35,440 collapse and then pop back out. Let's 144 00:10:32,959 --> 00:10:38,880 get our three our three amigos here. Which one's Curly? Which one's Larry? 145 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:43,279 And which one's Mo? Let us know in the comments. I've just been doing some math 146 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:48,560 on the whole omniirectional thing cuz it bothered me. Oh. Somewhere around 11,000 147 00:10:46,560 --> 00:10:51,839 hertz. If their driver size is correct, it will start beaming and not be 148 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:55,920 omniirectional. Oh, so basically they're just admitting 149 00:10:53,680 --> 00:11:02,240 the performance. All right, I'm gaming, boys. Wait, I 150 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:04,640 need to plug in the USB port and the 3 151 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:11,360 and 12 mm jacks. Is that USB port only the lights? It's only for the lights. 152 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,880 It doesn't have an amp deck at all. Oh 153 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:18,480 no. Tommy, Tommy, Tommy. 154 00:11:16,079 --> 00:11:22,320 I don't Should I be mean to the people who have bought it? No. It was probably 155 00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:27,760 their nan at like Hudson's Bay Company or something. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. 156 00:11:25,519 --> 00:11:31,680 Okay. I don't want you to feel bad if you have these. So, take all of the 157 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:36,000 crapping on them that I'm about to do as educational. I'm not bullying. It's 158 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:40,720 education. Trying to teach you something. Look at this. This has the 159 00:11:38,079 --> 00:11:44,240 little holes as though the mic is here. Is the mic here or is the mic here? And 160 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:49,120 they couldn't have the same color braided cables. Again, they're all 161 00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:54,240 different. What a cynical cash grab this whole thing is. 162 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:58,560 I can't even type on this thing. Oh my god. I can't type on this thing. I 163 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:03,279 thought it was me, but then it did it again. It inserted an O. Yeah, it's got 164 00:12:01,519 --> 00:12:05,839 it. It's got the O in there again. No. No. Get my hands. Get my hands this 165 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:10,880 time. We've got screen cap. So, we got screen cap. Okay, here we go. 166 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:14,399 Okay, it didn't do it. Oh my god, I can't. And now I'm now I'm overthinking 167 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:20,120 it. No, it is not inserting ghost characters. It's just really hard to 168 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,120 type on 169 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:27,920 that sound though. What? 170 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:32,959 Oh my god, look at this. The computer knows what's up. Why is that what people 171 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:36,800 are googling? These are already super warm on my ears because they're just 172 00:12:34,399 --> 00:12:39,680 using the cheapest possible PU fake leather and they're already 173 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:44,880 uncomfortable. Though, to their credit, they at least did put foam padding on 174 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:48,639 the top, which a lot of even reasonably high-end headset manufacturers don't do 175 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:53,360 for whatever reason. You got to give credit to Crab Rave here. You have to be 176 00:12:50,639 --> 00:12:57,680 a truly great catchy song to sound good on these. The mids are basically 177 00:12:55,680 --> 00:13:03,040 non-existent, blended in with the bass, which somehow manages to both overpower 178 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:05,120 everything and yet be inadequate. And as 179 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:09,519 for the highs, I think they're in there somewhere. I don't know about you guys, 180 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:16,000 but I'm having a great time. Oh, these sound like 181 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:19,040 they are so bad. I swear to you, 182 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:22,320 everything sounds the same. gunshot, 183 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:25,120 fireball firing, fireball hitting, it 184 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:30,480 just all sounds the same. The mouse is definitely the least crap part of it. 185 00:13:28,399 --> 00:13:34,240 But that's not much of a bar. You know, I'm on the record saying that if given 186 00:13:32,399 --> 00:13:38,000 the choice, I'll take a good mouse and a crap keyboard versus the other way 187 00:13:35,680 --> 00:13:43,760 around. But this experience taught me that there really is still a minimum bar 188 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:46,959 that you have to reach, and this doesn't reach it. I'm also on the record 189 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:52,399 recently saying there's no such thing as a bad product, only a bad price. But I 190 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:58,800 think Tommy has proven me wrong. You can have both a bad price and a bad product. 191 00:13:54,720 --> 00:14:01,199 The mouse is only okay in a vacuum. And 192 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:06,880 like any product, the Tommy Hilfiger gaming set does not exist in a vacuum. 193 00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:12,000 This is what we were able to put together for the same total price. A 194 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:16,079 keyboard, mouse, headset combo from brands you've heard of. Yes, we did get 195 00:14:14,079 --> 00:14:20,079 some of these items on sale, but not mega Black Friday sale or anything like 196 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:25,120 that. Like, you could easily reproduce our results here. Let's compare, shall 197 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:30,560 we? You know what? Hold on a second. First, I saw Alex walk in with something 198 00:14:27,199 --> 00:14:33,600 intriguing. This is a keyboard that was 199 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:35,360 included with some Lenovo pre-built. 200 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:40,880 I would imagine the bill of materials cost for this to be under $10. You can 201 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:44,800 normally add those for like $5 in the config. I would like to know how it 202 00:14:42,639 --> 00:14:48,600 compares. Do I have to put these back on? Okay. 203 00:14:49,519 --> 00:14:55,440 I would take this any day of the week. 204 00:14:53,040 --> 00:15:01,440 This is what it would take to convince me that this is a gaming keyboard. Nice 205 00:14:58,399 --> 00:15:03,680 lowprofile keys, nice short travel, 206 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:07,920 consistent feel from one to the next. This is spectacularly awful. Now, let's 207 00:15:06,639 --> 00:15:12,720 compare it to something price equivalent. First up, we've got the 208 00:15:09,839 --> 00:15:17,519 Logitech G305, featuring their hero sensor and light speeded wireless 209 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:22,160 dongle. That's right, my friends, lower than wired latency and the convenience 210 00:15:19,839 --> 00:15:28,079 of just popping in a new AA battery anytime the absolutely incredible 211 00:15:25,519 --> 00:15:32,079 battery life runs out on you. It has one fewer button, but it uses that one 212 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:37,279 button much better. You can reprogram it, and it just cycles through the DPIs 213 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:42,000 instead of going up or down. So, it has functionally exactly the same function. 214 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:48,560 I can already tell. Not even going to be close. Lowprofile chassis, four onboard 215 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:50,480 cam powered reprogrammable switches, 216 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:55,680 standard bottom row design with MX compatible hot swappable sockets, GaDon 217 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:59,680 red linear key switches, and yeah, there's a little bit of flex. Okay, this 218 00:15:57,279 --> 00:16:04,320 isn't a top-of-the-line keyboard, but my goodness, is that ever a lot better. 219 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:08,639 Detachable cable includes a key switch puller. And look at that. Oh, is this 220 00:16:06,959 --> 00:16:13,040 magnetic? If it's magnetic, I'm going to be really impressed. Really nice 221 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:16,959 magnetic wrist rest. Where's my wrist rest, Tommy? Lots of different creature 222 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:22,800 comforts here. We've got two different heights for the back feet. Nice sounding 223 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:25,440 little volume wheel. USBC detachable 224 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:29,040 cable. Real RGB. The thing about RGB, you don't have to be into RGB. That's 225 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:34,720 fine. You can just set it to white and forget about it. Not on the Tommy 226 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:36,560 Hilfiger. It's RGB or it's nothing. It's 227 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:40,880 grope around in the dark and find your keys. Oh, sorry, Mom. Didn't mean to 228 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:45,519 send that to you. And finally, we've got the Steeler Arctis Nova. I haven't 229 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:53,440 touched a Steel Series headset in just about forever. It can go USBC to C, USBC 230 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:56,959 to 3 1/2 mil, or USB-C to extension to 231 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:59,279 A. Pop out boom mic. Love to see it. Not 232 00:16:56,959 --> 00:17:05,520 always hanging around in your face. Got mute button, on ear cup volume control, 233 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:12,640 and a lighting button. The lighting can turn off. No padding on the top. We'll 234 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:14,720 see how this elastic fares. 235 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:20,720 I mean, the bar they had to reach was so low, though. Oo, that is some nice 236 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:25,199 looking foam there. Steel series. Ooh, those ear cups. All right, here I got to 237 00:17:23,120 --> 00:17:31,039 get you the comparison shot, Brandon. Boing boing boing. Okay, then we got 238 00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:36,400 this one. One thing that's probably important to mention here too is like 239 00:17:33,120 --> 00:17:39,039 your ears are not parallel and that one 240 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:44,400 you can move the cups like this. Oh yeah, this has like no adjustment 241 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:50,240 whatsoever. Whereas like 242 00:17:47,360 --> 00:17:55,280 Yeah, that's not good. Oh, look at that. We've actually got high-end frequency 243 00:17:52,720 --> 00:18:00,480 response. Like I I might be able to hear where footsteps are coming from. What a 244 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:04,799 concept. I have never appreciated a proper gaming keyboard this much. To be 245 00:18:03,120 --> 00:18:09,600 clear, this is not the world's best gaming keyboard or anything like that, 246 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:12,640 but boy is it ever better. We're in like a puzzle part. That's fine. You've 247 00:18:11,360 --> 00:18:18,720 probably done enough. Also, better noise isolation. In summary, our comparison 248 00:18:15,679 --> 00:18:20,799 set is not even close. Gear won't make 249 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:24,160 you a better gamer, but at least it shouldn't actively inhibit you from 250 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:30,400 being a better gamer. Do I get to take them apart now? Not yet. We have a 251 00:18:27,039 --> 00:18:33,919 couple of tests to do. Okay, the first 252 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:36,000 it says the cord is 1.5 m on the box for 253 00:18:33,919 --> 00:18:40,160 the mouse. I mean, the length didn't bother me, but 254 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:45,520 did they really try to cheap out on that little bit of copper? Oh, that's not a 255 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:51,280 meter and a half. I don't need a tape measure to tell you that. 256 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:53,200 Uh, maybe if we go right from the very 257 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:57,919 end of the plug, just to be as charitable as possible here, that is 140 258 00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:01,679 cm. They're 10 cm short. That's what I 259 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:08,880 That's what I always tell my mom. Yeah. Do you want us to have a look at this little data sheet here? Oh, wow. You 260 00:19:06,799 --> 00:19:13,440 found a data sheet for the mouse. Is that because on the manufacturer's 261 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:16,400 website, they just have this OEM mouse? No, we took it apart and found the 262 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:19,840 sensor and got it from there. Oh, excellent. 263 00:19:17,919 --> 00:19:28,640 But just note, this is what it says. The DPI is here. 1,200 to 3200. Yeah. 264 00:19:23,919 --> 00:19:31,679 Oh, 800, 1200,600, and 2,000. Well, that 265 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:33,440 explains the very narrow range that I 266 00:19:31,679 --> 00:19:38,720 picked up on. I was like, is this changing or is this not changing? That's 267 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:43,039 a completely different numbers. Do you know what the best part is? What? We 268 00:19:41,039 --> 00:19:52,080 measured it. Those numbers are also wrong. It's 600, 900, 1200, and 1500. 269 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:55,600 Did you read this? No. 270 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:58,160 They describe a breathing light mode as 271 00:19:55,600 --> 00:20:02,640 fourcolor circulatory discolored respiratory function. That sounds like a 272 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:07,280 disease, not a feature. What's that? It's a slide test. Oh, all right. Slide 273 00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:12,080 test time. Where did you download this from? The backlight is supposed to wait. 274 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:16,640 Backlight breathing. The back is this plugged in? It's supposed to indicate 275 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:20,640 what the CPI is said to. Nope. Guess that was overridden. So, we're going to 276 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:25,919 do a slide test. It even gets the extra benefit of it. Oh, see you later. Uh oh. 277 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:29,520 Well, here. Hold on. Hold on. No. No. Let's give it every possible advantage. 278 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:35,360 Okay. I'll I'll hold this up like that. Yeah. I mean, we want to be we want to 279 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:40,799 be charitable. Yeah. Mouse. Oh, you stay. You stay. You stay. Good boy. Oh. 280 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:44,960 Oh. Oh. Yeah. That's a lot of drag. And this is 281 00:20:42,799 --> 00:20:51,120 the one I even said wasn't that bad. Here. Watch. Watch this. Watch this. 282 00:20:47,919 --> 00:20:55,320 Holy crap. It completely loses tracking 283 00:20:51,120 --> 00:20:55,320 if you try to do a flick shot. 284 00:20:57,120 --> 00:21:03,840 So that means that you're going faster than this sensor can figure out. We'll 285 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:09,840 we'll show you what happens on this. Wow, we spun. You can actually control 286 00:21:06,559 --> 00:21:11,520 that. It's just working. Do you want to 287 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:16,960 know the absolute best thing about this mouse? The RGB. 288 00:21:14,159 --> 00:21:24,000 No. So yeah, the input latency of a click on this mouse is on average 5 289 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:26,400 milliseconds at most 6.1. What do you 290 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:31,400 think it is for that? Oh, I don't know. Obviously, it's going to be worse. I'll 291 00:21:27,919 --> 00:21:31,400 say 10 milliseconds. 292 00:21:32,159 --> 00:21:37,480 Hold on. Let me give me give me a sec here. 293 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:43,440 It's not like 20, is it? 30 on average, 294 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:47,919 45 at the most. Really? Yeah. I'd be I'd be able to 295 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:51,520 detect it on a display. You give me something with like 30 additional 296 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:56,640 milliseconds of latency, but I I can't see it here. That's really bad. That's 297 00:21:53,919 --> 00:22:00,640 two entire frames of additional latency from your input. I want to take apart 298 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:03,760 the most. I want to take things apart. I want to know what's going on with this 299 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:08,240 weight plate in the bottom. You could like unplug it first. No, it's fine. 300 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:14,159 What's the worst that can happen? The plate appears to be entirely cosmetic 301 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:16,240 and a little rusty. Oh no. 302 00:22:14,159 --> 00:22:21,679 Remember I was saying it was heavy? They did it on purpose. They're actually they 303 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:27,200 they pulled a '9s power supply trick here. They just put a big hunk of metal 304 00:22:24,559 --> 00:22:32,720 in the back of the mouse. What the heck are they doing, bud? It's way lighter. 305 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:41,039 How much does this thing weigh? Did we measure it? 18 g. 18 g? Are you guys out 306 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:43,360 of your minds? And look at this PCB. Is 307 00:22:41,039 --> 00:22:52,400 this a modern gaming mouse or is this a freaking science fair project from 1985? 308 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:54,640 Oh my god. Is this handbuilt? Holy 309 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:59,200 I think it is. They're not surface mounting devices. These resistors are 310 00:22:57,120 --> 00:23:03,520 throughhole mounted. This is like literally like like like you could 311 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:08,080 build. Well, there's another lie. It says instant right on the controller 312 00:23:05,120 --> 00:23:13,280 chip there. No. No. 313 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:16,720 No, that's why the side buttons feel so 314 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:18,240 mushy. There's no 90° mounted PCB. 315 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:23,600 They're not pressing directly on anything. They just slide into place 316 00:23:21,679 --> 00:23:28,880 above these switches that are actually pressed this way. Press the button like 317 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:32,159 that. Okay. Slides through. Yeah. And it 318 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:37,760 goes like that and then it just like 319 00:23:32,159 --> 00:23:39,039 slides onto it. Um. Wow. Neat. Well, do 320 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:42,159 you want the final bit of testing that we did for that mouse? Sure. There's two 321 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:47,679 things that you want to test for a mouse. Precision and accuracy. Accuracy 322 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:53,840 is kind of like 800 DPI. You want to get like 800 dots in and in. G305 is fine 323 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:56,080 for that. It's like 2.4% 324 00:23:53,840 --> 00:24:00,000 off, which is like not ideal, but the precision is really good. You can do the 325 00:23:58,159 --> 00:24:06,000 same thing and it's within a tenth of a percent every single time. What you mean 326 00:24:01,679 --> 00:24:10,400 to say is it's 2.4% off every time. Yes. 327 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:14,240 Okay. This is Oh god. 328 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:19,440 The accuracy is terrible. 2.7 or up to 329 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:23,440 3.3 off, but the variance at best is 2% 330 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:25,840 and at worst is four. So doing the same 331 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:31,679 movement a bunch of times is going to be different every single time you do it. 332 00:24:28,799 --> 00:24:35,760 But at least it's instant. It's so cool having a Labs team to like 333 00:24:33,919 --> 00:24:39,120 test all this stuff for us. Cuz if all you're going to do is drop into do 334 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:43,440 maternal and click a few heads, like you could pull it off, but if you want to 335 00:24:41,039 --> 00:24:47,520 actually get good and do aim training or something like that, this is going to 336 00:24:45,679 --> 00:24:51,840 prevent you from being able to do that. See you later, Tommy. Nice knowing you. 337 00:24:50,159 --> 00:24:57,039 So, you see how right there it says advanced anti- ghosting with a infinity 338 00:24:54,400 --> 00:25:03,840 symbol beside that? What happens if I actually press three keys at once? So 27 339 00:25:01,039 --> 00:25:09,440 30 32 It works. Yeah, you have many more fingers or many less fingers than that. 340 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:13,039 Let's go again. Oh my god. Three. That's 341 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:15,760 it. Oh, unless you're on a different 342 00:25:13,039 --> 00:25:23,120 part of the matrix. Oh no. Okay. Spacebar is separate. Okay. 343 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:28,400 So, it can handle three per zone, it looks like. And where are my zones? Oh, 344 00:25:26,159 --> 00:25:34,000 no. Space bar is in the same zone as JKL. Uh-oh. 345 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:38,640 Yeah. Okay. If I let go of D, can I hit the space bar? 346 00:25:35,919 --> 00:25:46,080 Oh, interesting. Is it hitting anything? Up to a total of six maximum at once. 347 00:25:43,279 --> 00:25:50,240 So, even if I wanted to play Learo, okay, with my son, which is a two-player 348 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:55,440 game where you each use one side of the keyboard, this would not work. That is a 349 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:58,320 game from like 1997 and keyboards back 350 00:25:55,440 --> 00:26:05,120 then could handle it just fine. Latency is also terrible. 30 milliseconds. Show 351 00:26:01,279 --> 00:26:07,600 me your secrets. Cover plate. Diffusion 352 00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:12,400 plate. Oh wow. So it's a diffusion plate, but it's also like the switch 353 00:26:10,159 --> 00:26:18,559 holder plate. And then obviously this is as advertised. It's a membrane style 354 00:26:15,279 --> 00:26:19,840 keyboard. Okay. And once again the PCB 355 00:26:18,559 --> 00:26:24,559 looks like it came out of something from the8s. I love that they put that like 356 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:28,240 anti-reverse engineering schmoo on the controller chip. Nobody wants to reverse 357 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:33,600 engineer this keyboard, guys. You're taking yourselves too seriously. There's 358 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:36,960 your RGB zones, edge lit, uh, two blue 359 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:38,320 LEDs, three red and two green. It's 360 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:42,720 really cool seeing the way the light interacts to form the different colors in this diffusion sheet, though. Was 361 00:26:41,679 --> 00:26:49,840 there anything else you wanted to say about the keyboard? Nope. Before it goes to the uh 362 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:54,720 keyboard bin in the sky. Goodbye keyboard. Finally, headset. So, 363 00:26:52,559 --> 00:26:59,279 this is the Arctics Nova 3. So, you can see like little bit extra midbase that 364 00:26:57,679 --> 00:27:04,720 kind of gets your like gunshots and stuff really nice. Kind of a strange dip 365 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:06,960 at 5K. So, maybe not that. Oh, there it 366 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:13,360 is. Compared to the Tommy. At least my trained ear nailed the headset. Just 367 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:17,039 basically poo poo across the board. 368 00:27:13,360 --> 00:27:19,120 Yeah. So, bass not too bad after about 369 00:27:17,039 --> 00:27:23,679 1K. So, like when you're in your mids where like people might be talking or 370 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:27,279 where there are like feet or gunshots or 371 00:27:23,679 --> 00:27:28,559 like kind of anything, it just Yep. Uh, 372 00:27:27,279 --> 00:27:32,080 I'm not even going to bother trying to find where the screws are. Yeah. Sam, 373 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:36,559 our audio engineer, actually asked us to take a look at the drivers and see if in 374 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:40,880 production they forgot to take off the plastic that's protective because it's 375 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:46,320 so bad. He thinks it might be just manufactured wrong. Well, we'll find 376 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:50,480 out. There's the RGB lighting. 377 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:53,919 Uh, these are dead now. Um, 378 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:58,159 okay. Sure. The material is just that 379 00:27:53,919 --> 00:28:00,799 cheap. Tommy, you done goofed. Surely 380 00:27:58,159 --> 00:28:04,960 they can't generally be this bad. I don't think so. Yeah, nothing can be 381 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:08,799 this bad except this segue to our sponsor, Vessie.
