WEBVTT 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.200 Tommy Hilfiger was everywhere in the 90s on Snoop Dogg, Britney Spears, and many 00:00:05.359 --> 00:00:11.360 more. Not that I cared. This may surprise you, but I've never really been 00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:19.520 into fashion. Now, though, they're getting into MySpace gaming. And you 00:00:14.559 --> 00:00:21.680 guys know I love looking at some Oh, 00:00:19.520 --> 00:00:26.560 well, this is different. We have seen some crap from major brands before. I 00:00:24.560 --> 00:00:32.800 mean, normally it's fine, just a little too expensive. But this steaming pile of 00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:34.640 sweat shop garbage isn't just bad. Our 00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:40.239 Labs team tested it out and the marketing for this is filled with actual 00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:42.640 lies and deceit so egregious that it may 00:00:40.239 --> 00:00:45.920 actually be illegal. This is my first time touching it though. I don't even 00:00:44.239 --> 00:00:53.680 know how much this pile of trash cost me. You want to guess? 100 bucks. 150. 00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:55.440 150. Is that real dollars? Yes. US. This 00:00:53.680 --> 00:00:58.399 isn't the first time that Tommy Hilfiger has gotten into selling tech. They 00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:02.559 actually currently sell Bluetooth speakers and headphones as well as a 00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:07.439 battery bank, but this is their first foray into the gaming space. What's 00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:11.520 different this time is the level of effort. We don't have Tommy's previous 00:01:10.080 --> 00:01:14.799 headphones here to comment on their sound quality, but it's easy to tell 00:01:13.360 --> 00:01:19.119 from the photos that they achieve at least the bare minimum. They look like 00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:26.400 they were made by Tommy Hilfiger. The gaming set. Well, um 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 00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:34.640 worst one. Conveniently positioned for your sixth finger that happens to be a 00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:39.600 little bit longer than your pinky. They can't even manage to make it look 00:01:36.720 --> 00:01:42.479 anything other than cheap and horrible. The really wild part is you've seen what 00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:46.320 these guys do in their fashion photography and yet no amount of 00:01:44.720 --> 00:01:52.159 Photoshop could make this look like anything but garbage. Oh my god, what 00:01:48.880 --> 00:01:55.600 are these specs? 95% acryo nitral 00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:58.000 butadine styrene. How is that the very 00:01:55.600 --> 00:02:02.479 top of your key talking points? It's also just ABS plastic. It's used in 00:02:00.320 --> 00:02:08.160 literally everything. I didn't even think about what ABS even 00:02:04.880 --> 00:02:13.280 stood for. Why would you Why would you 00:02:08.160 --> 00:02:15.840 type that? The mouse is 90% ABS and 10% 00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:22.720 metal. I better not find anything other than ABS or metal in that mouse. What 00:02:18.480 --> 00:02:25.040 metal? Headset. 10% sponge. 00:02:22.720 --> 00:02:30.160 Why is this the very top of the product page? Okay, I'm sorry. Keyboard 00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:36.480 features. Easy clean, waterproof, and dustproof. You don't say. It says 00:02:32.480 --> 00:02:41.760 waterproof. It does care. Spot clean 00:02:36.480 --> 00:02:43.280 will do. Thomas. Oh my god. Alex, look. 00:02:41.760 --> 00:02:47.840 This isn't just your regular old keyboard mouse headset. This is 00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:51.360 imported. Yes, they've got a lot more specs actually on 00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:57.680 the box than they do on the website. The gaming headset supposedly offers 00:02:53.280 --> 00:03:00.480 immersive surround sound. It is PS VA 00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:06.800 compatible. Why would you mention the PS VA and the Nintendo 3DS? Wait, is this 00:03:03.920 --> 00:03:11.920 thing new? This came out in December and yet every mention of a supported console 00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:14.879 is at least 5 years old. Okay, I'm sorry. I'm actually going to start 00:03:13.040 --> 00:03:20.480 looking at this stuff now. I found the metal in the mouse. Metal? Is this a 00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:24.159 removable weight system that needs actual screws? You're getting ahead of 00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:27.920 yourself. There is a removable weight, but not that. That's not the removable 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 00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:38.879 experience it. Okay, I'll take it apart later. It's really heavy for a modern 00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:40.799 gaming mouse. It does have really mushy 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:45.840 back and forward buttons. The back button has a significantly longer 00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:49.440 travel. Wait, is this from us? I doubt it. Oh, 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 00:03:52.799 --> 00:03:59.519 finest large connector wire. I mean, who needs to plug anything into the next USB 00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:03.920 port over, right? That's why you have dedicated USB ports on the front of your 00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:09.439 computer for your mouse. Oh, I mean, it works. Hey, that looks pretty cool. 00:04:06.480 --> 00:04:13.840 Backlight, four recurrent colors. Does it just cycle between four colors? Is 00:04:11.920 --> 00:04:18.000 there a way to change it? No, this is actually like a decent RGB controller in 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? 00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:28.720 Oh. Oh, no. I didn't see a software 00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:33.759 download. Is there any way to actually control the RGB? That That's a feature 00:04:30.479 --> 00:04:35.919 Linus. No driver needed. No driver 00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:41.120 needed at all. Nothing. Does it have any indication of what DPI you're running 00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:43.440 at? Perhaps. Do these change DPI? I 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 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 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 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 00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:05.520 reprogram any of these. You better be happy with back, forward, DPI, up and 00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:07.199 down, and left and right click. The RGB 00:05:05.520 --> 00:05:09.919 effect does look really cool though. Give credit where it's due. I mean, 00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:16.000 that's all that matters to gamers, right? I guess in order to go to the 00:05:11.840 --> 00:05:17.600 website, I'm gonna need this keyboard. 00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:22.560 I don't think this weighs much more than the mouse does. 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:26.560 Uh oh. Wow. I don't recall the last time I saw a 00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:32.479 keyboard that felt this generic and cheap. Honestly though, you've been able 00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:37.560 to get like much better keyboards for 30 00:05:32.479 --> 00:05:37.560 bucks, 20 bucks on Amazon for years. 00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:50.240 Are these Is this a placeholder for where the num lock caps lock and scroll 00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:55.600 lock lights are supposed to go? They didn't even finish putting the legend on 00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:58.080 it. This is the most OEM. We changed 00:05:55.600 --> 00:06:03.440 almost nothing thing I think I've ever seen. Tommy clearly had nothing to do 00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:07.360 with this whatsoever. And that's not a compliment. That's an indicator that 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:10.560 he's just completely checked out of whatever products bear his name. Good 00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:14.400 quality silk screen here. But unfortunately, my X key is a reflection 00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:19.280 of my current mood having spent 150 bucks for this. It's permanently 00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:25.440 depressed. Can I get a rim shot editor, please, for that? Hello. 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 00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:32.479 go. We got it. Nice. Has a dedicated 00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:38.080 lighting key, though. I have high hopes for the RGB. The effort level is so low. 00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:43.120 Not only could they not do their own mold for the USB port housing, they 00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:48.400 couldn't even use the same one on both products. So like what? You couldn't 00:06:45.840 --> 00:06:52.880 find a cheap Chinese peripheral OEM to make both of them. You had to find two 00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:57.440 different ones and then package them together. Clearly quality wasn't the 00:06:55.199 --> 00:07:00.560 main concern, Alex. So why not? If you want to know, they are both from Instant 00:06:59.039 --> 00:07:05.039 Micro Electronics. They're both from Instant Micro. Yeah. From the same 00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:10.479 factory. So, they couldn't even order enough to have them change the housing 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 00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:19.520 differentiate LT store products to make them truly awesome? If all I have to do 00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:22.960 is just slap my name on garbage and I can become a billionaire, like, why 00:07:21.520 --> 00:07:29.440 don't I do it? How much is he worth anyway? Oh no. 00:07:26.880 --> 00:07:35.680 It's the kind of RGB lighting with static red, green, and blue LEDs. They 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:40.800 don't actually change. I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent color mixing 00:07:38.080 --> 00:07:45.919 on the multiple LEDs inside the mouse. This not so much. This appears to be a 00:07:43.599 --> 00:07:50.080 light diffuser pattern in the mold so that these lights won't be too bright. 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 00:07:55.599 --> 00:08:02.800 keyboard. Now, I want to make this abundantly clear. I am not shaming 00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:10.680 anyone who can't afford a better keyboard. That's fine. But if you had 00:08:05.599 --> 00:08:10.680 the money and you bought this anyway, 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. 00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:23.199 It's This is facts. A rainbow backlight 00:08:19.440 --> 00:08:26.319 keyboard. I mean, technically, yes. A 00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:30.080 mouse with seven button design. I mean, 00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:34.000 yes. and a comfortable headset with 00:08:30.080 --> 00:08:36.399 omnidirectional speaker sound. What the 00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:41.039 does that even mean? That sounds like whoever did the merchandising for this 00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:45.600 page heard a word once in an audio context and kind of went, "Ooh, that 00:08:42.640 --> 00:08:50.080 sounds cool." I promise you that these are regular old drivers like any other 00:08:47.839 --> 00:08:54.080 driver and they fire in one direction cuz they've got that one thing. They 00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:57.920 definitely don't know they're beautiful. No acknowledgement, nothing. Sorry, I 00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:03.040 was looking up what omniirectional means. So that means that the speaker is 00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:04.720 not beaming, which given the performance 00:09:03.040 --> 00:09:09.839 of the highs, they might actually be correct. When I hear omniirectional 00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:16.320 speaker, what I expect is a speaker array that has balanced output in all 00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:20.240 directions. That's what I would imagine omniirectional speaker means. Does it 00:09:17.920 --> 00:09:24.240 say on this at all what the driver size is? 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:28.480 Oh, maybe. But it does say that the headphones are 7.3 inches in length. 00:09:26.640 --> 00:09:32.240 When you have to start resorting to the length, width, and height of your 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:36.720 headphones to fill out a spec sheet that contains your headphones, your mouse, 00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:40.720 and your keyboard, you know that you are scraping the absolute bottom of the 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 00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:47.000 down. Oh my god, you're right, Brandon. 00:09:47.040 --> 00:09:54.720 How cool am I right now? 00:09:50.800 --> 00:09:57.720 Regla, you I only wear the finest 00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:57.720 brands. 00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:08.160 These may be the cheapest drivers that I 00:10:04.560 --> 00:10:10.080 have ever put on my head. Listen to 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 00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:19.680 what I'm hearing right now. But um 00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:24.000 that is the difference in air pressure from kind of pushing the drivers onto 00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:29.760 your head, kind of you know mushing the pads a little bit, causing the the 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:32.959 driver inside the the membrane to just 00:10:29.760 --> 00:10:35.440 collapse and then pop back out. Let's 00:10:32.959 --> 00:10:38.880 get our three our three amigos here. Which one's Curly? Which one's Larry? 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 00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:48.560 on the whole omniirectional thing cuz it bothered me. Oh. Somewhere around 11,000 00:10:46.560 --> 00:10:51.839 hertz. If their driver size is correct, it will start beaming and not be 00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:55.920 omniirectional. Oh, so basically they're just admitting 00:10:53.680 --> 00:11:02.240 the performance. All right, I'm gaming, boys. Wait, I 00:10:58.880 --> 00:11:04.640 need to plug in the USB port and the 3 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. 00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:12.880 It doesn't have an amp deck at all. Oh 00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:18.480 no. Tommy, Tommy, Tommy. 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 00:11:20.560 --> 00:11:27.760 their nan at like Hudson's Bay Company or something. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. 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 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 00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:40.720 education. Trying to teach you something. Look at this. This has the 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 00:11:42.880 --> 00:11:49.120 they couldn't have the same color braided cables. Again, they're all 00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:54.240 different. What a cynical cash grab this whole thing is. 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 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 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 00:12:04.640 --> 00:12:10.880 time. We've got screen cap. So, we got screen cap. Okay, here we go. 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 00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:20.120 it. No, it is not inserting ghost characters. It's just really hard to 00:12:16.880 --> 00:12:20.120 type on 00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:27.920 that sound though. What? 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 00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:36.800 are googling? These are already super warm on my ears because they're just 00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:39.680 using the cheapest possible PU fake leather and they're already 00:12:37.920 --> 00:12:44.880 uncomfortable. Though, to their credit, they at least did put foam padding on 00:12:41.920 --> 00:12:48.639 the top, which a lot of even reasonably high-end headset manufacturers don't do 00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:53.360 for whatever reason. You got to give credit to Crab Rave here. You have to be 00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:57.680 a truly great catchy song to sound good on these. The mids are basically 00:12:55.680 --> 00:13:03.040 non-existent, blended in with the bass, which somehow manages to both overpower 00:12:59.760 --> 00:13:05.120 everything and yet be inadequate. And as 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, 00:13:07.040 --> 00:13:16.000 but I'm having a great time. Oh, these sound like 00:13:12.880 --> 00:13:19.040 they are so bad. I swear to you, 00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:22.320 everything sounds the same. gunshot, 00:13:19.040 --> 00:13:25.120 fireball firing, fireball hitting, it 00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:30.480 just all sounds the same. The mouse is definitely the least crap part of it. 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 00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:38.000 the choice, I'll take a good mouse and a crap keyboard versus the other way 00:13:35.680 --> 00:13:43.760 around. But this experience taught me that there really is still a minimum bar 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 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 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. 00:13:54.720 --> 00:14:01.199 The mouse is only okay in a vacuum. And 00:13:58.800 --> 00:14:06.880 like any product, the Tommy Hilfiger gaming set does not exist in a vacuum. 00:14:04.560 --> 00:14:12.000 This is what we were able to put together for the same total price. A 00:14:10.160 --> 00:14:16.079 keyboard, mouse, headset combo from brands you've heard of. Yes, we did get 00:14:14.079 --> 00:14:20.079 some of these items on sale, but not mega Black Friday sale or anything like 00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:25.120 that. Like, you could easily reproduce our results here. Let's compare, shall 00:14:22.560 --> 00:14:30.560 we? You know what? Hold on a second. First, I saw Alex walk in with something 00:14:27.199 --> 00:14:33.600 intriguing. This is a keyboard that was 00:14:30.560 --> 00:14:35.360 included with some Lenovo pre-built. 00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:40.880 I would imagine the bill of materials cost for this to be under $10. You can 00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:44.800 normally add those for like $5 in the config. I would like to know how it 00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:48.600 compares. Do I have to put these back on? Okay. 00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:55.440 I would take this any day of the week. 00:14:53.040 --> 00:15:01.440 This is what it would take to convince me that this is a gaming keyboard. Nice 00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:03.680 lowprofile keys, nice short travel, 00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:07.920 consistent feel from one to the next. This is spectacularly awful. Now, let's 00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:12.720 compare it to something price equivalent. First up, we've got the 00:15:09.839 --> 00:15:17.519 Logitech G305, featuring their hero sensor and light speeded wireless 00:15:14.800 --> 00:15:22.160 dongle. That's right, my friends, lower than wired latency and the convenience 00:15:19.839 --> 00:15:28.079 of just popping in a new AA battery anytime the absolutely incredible 00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:32.079 battery life runs out on you. It has one fewer button, but it uses that one 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:37.279 button much better. You can reprogram it, and it just cycles through the DPIs 00:15:34.880 --> 00:15:42.000 instead of going up or down. So, it has functionally exactly the same function. 00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:48.560 I can already tell. Not even going to be close. Lowprofile chassis, four onboard 00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:50.480 cam powered reprogrammable switches, 00:15:48.560 --> 00:15:55.680 standard bottom row design with MX compatible hot swappable sockets, GaDon 00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:59.680 red linear key switches, and yeah, there's a little bit of flex. Okay, this 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. 00:16:01.680 --> 00:16:08.639 Detachable cable includes a key switch puller. And look at that. Oh, is this 00:16:06.959 --> 00:16:13.040 magnetic? If it's magnetic, I'm going to be really impressed. Really nice 00:16:10.880 --> 00:16:16.959 magnetic wrist rest. Where's my wrist rest, Tommy? Lots of different creature 00:16:15.680 --> 00:16:22.800 comforts here. We've got two different heights for the back feet. Nice sounding 00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:25.440 little volume wheel. USBC detachable 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 00:16:26.880 --> 00:16:34.720 fine. You can just set it to white and forget about it. Not on the Tommy 00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:36.560 Hilfiger. It's RGB or it's nothing. It's 00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:40.880 grope around in the dark and find your keys. Oh, sorry, Mom. Didn't mean to 00:16:38.800 --> 00:16:45.519 send that to you. And finally, we've got the Steeler Arctis Nova. I haven't 00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:53.440 touched a Steel Series headset in just about forever. It can go USBC to C, USBC 00:16:48.800 --> 00:16:56.959 to 3 1/2 mil, or USB-C to extension to 00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:59.279 A. Pop out boom mic. Love to see it. Not 00:16:56.959 --> 00:17:05.520 always hanging around in your face. Got mute button, on ear cup volume control, 00:17:03.040 --> 00:17:12.640 and a lighting button. The lighting can turn off. No padding on the top. We'll 00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:14.720 see how this elastic fares. 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 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:25.199 looking foam there. Steel series. Ooh, those ear cups. All right, here I got to 00:17:23.120 --> 00:17:31.039 get you the comparison shot, Brandon. Boing boing boing. Okay, then we got 00:17:29.360 --> 00:17:36.400 this one. One thing that's probably important to mention here too is like 00:17:33.120 --> 00:17:39.039 your ears are not parallel and that one 00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:44.400 you can move the cups like this. Oh yeah, this has like no adjustment 00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:50.240 whatsoever. Whereas like 00:17:47.360 --> 00:17:55.280 Yeah, that's not good. Oh, look at that. We've actually got high-end frequency 00:17:52.720 --> 00:18:00.480 response. Like I I might be able to hear where footsteps are coming from. What a 00:17:57.520 --> 00:18:04.799 concept. I have never appreciated a proper gaming keyboard this much. To be 00:18:03.120 --> 00:18:09.600 clear, this is not the world's best gaming keyboard or anything like that, 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 00:18:11.360 --> 00:18:18.720 probably done enough. Also, better noise isolation. In summary, our comparison 00:18:15.679 --> 00:18:20.799 set is not even close. Gear won't make 00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:24.160 you a better gamer, but at least it shouldn't actively inhibit you from 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 00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:33.919 couple of tests to do. Okay, the first 00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:36.000 it says the cord is 1.5 m on the box for 00:18:33.919 --> 00:18:40.160 the mouse. I mean, the length didn't bother me, but 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 00:18:43.520 --> 00:18:51.280 meter and a half. I don't need a tape measure to tell you that. 00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:53.200 Uh, maybe if we go right from the very 00:18:51.280 --> 00:18:57.919 end of the plug, just to be as charitable as possible here, that is 140 00:18:56.320 --> 00:19:01.679 cm. They're 10 cm short. That's what I 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 00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:13.440 found a data sheet for the mouse. Is that because on the manufacturer's 00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:16.400 website, they just have this OEM mouse? No, we took it apart and found the 00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:19.840 sensor and got it from there. Oh, excellent. 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. 00:19:23.919 --> 00:19:31.679 Oh, 800, 1200,600, and 2,000. Well, that 00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:33.440 explains the very narrow range that I 00:19:31.679 --> 00:19:38.720 picked up on. I was like, is this changing or is this not changing? That's 00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:43.039 a completely different numbers. Do you know what the best part is? What? We 00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:52.080 measured it. Those numbers are also wrong. It's 600, 900, 1200, and 1500. 00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:55.600 Did you read this? No. 00:19:52.080 --> 00:19:58.160 They describe a breathing light mode as 00:19:55.600 --> 00:20:02.640 fourcolor circulatory discolored respiratory function. That sounds like a 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:07.280 disease, not a feature. What's that? It's a slide test. Oh, all right. Slide 00:20:05.360 --> 00:20:12.080 test time. Where did you download this from? The backlight is supposed to wait. 00:20:09.840 --> 00:20:16.640 Backlight breathing. The back is this plugged in? It's supposed to indicate 00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:20.640 what the CPI is said to. Nope. Guess that was overridden. So, we're going to 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. 00:20:24.080 --> 00:20:29.520 Well, here. Hold on. Hold on. No. No. Let's give it every possible advantage. 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 00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:40.799 be charitable. Yeah. Mouse. Oh, you stay. You stay. You stay. Good boy. Oh. 00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:44.960 Oh. Oh. Yeah. That's a lot of drag. And this is 00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:51.120 the one I even said wasn't that bad. Here. Watch. Watch this. Watch this. 00:20:47.919 --> 00:20:55.320 Holy crap. It completely loses tracking 00:20:51.120 --> 00:20:55.320 if you try to do a flick shot. 00:20:57.120 --> 00:21:03.840 So that means that you're going faster than this sensor can figure out. We'll 00:21:01.600 --> 00:21:09.840 we'll show you what happens on this. Wow, we spun. You can actually control 00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:11.520 that. It's just working. Do you want to 00:21:09.840 --> 00:21:16.960 know the absolute best thing about this mouse? The RGB. 00:21:14.159 --> 00:21:24.000 No. So yeah, the input latency of a click on this mouse is on average 5 00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:26.400 milliseconds at most 6.1. What do you 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 00:21:27.919 --> 00:21:31.400 say 10 milliseconds. 00:21:32.159 --> 00:21:37.480 Hold on. Let me give me give me a sec here. 00:21:37.520 --> 00:21:43.440 It's not like 20, is it? 30 on average, 00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:47.919 45 at the most. Really? Yeah. I'd be I'd be able to 00:21:46.320 --> 00:21:51.520 detect it on a display. You give me something with like 30 additional 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 00:21:53.919 --> 00:22:00.640 two entire frames of additional latency from your input. I want to take apart 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 00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:08.240 weight plate in the bottom. You could like unplug it first. No, it's fine. 00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:14.159 What's the worst that can happen? The plate appears to be entirely cosmetic 00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:16.240 and a little rusty. Oh no. 00:22:14.159 --> 00:22:21.679 Remember I was saying it was heavy? They did it on purpose. They're actually they 00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:27.200 they pulled a '9s power supply trick here. They just put a big hunk of metal 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. 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 00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:43.360 of your minds? And look at this PCB. Is 00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:52.400 this a modern gaming mouse or is this a freaking science fair project from 1985? 00:22:47.280 --> 00:22:54.640 Oh my god. Is this handbuilt? Holy 00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:59.200 I think it is. They're not surface mounting devices. These resistors are 00:22:57.120 --> 00:23:03.520 throughhole mounted. This is like literally like like like you could 00:23:01.600 --> 00:23:08.080 build. Well, there's another lie. It says instant right on the controller 00:23:05.120 --> 00:23:13.280 chip there. No. No. 00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:16.720 No, that's why the side buttons feel so 00:23:13.280 --> 00:23:18.240 mushy. There's no 90° mounted PCB. 00:23:16.720 --> 00:23:23.600 They're not pressing directly on anything. They just slide into place 00:23:21.679 --> 00:23:28.880 above these switches that are actually pressed this way. Press the button like 00:23:25.760 --> 00:23:32.159 that. Okay. Slides through. Yeah. And it 00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:37.760 goes like that and then it just like 00:23:32.159 --> 00:23:39.039 slides onto it. Um. Wow. Neat. Well, do 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 00:23:40.960 --> 00:23:47.679 things that you want to test for a mouse. Precision and accuracy. Accuracy 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 00:23:50.640 --> 00:23:56.080 for that. It's like 2.4% 00:23:53.840 --> 00:24:00.000 off, which is like not ideal, but the precision is really good. You can do the 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 00:24:01.679 --> 00:24:10.400 to say is it's 2.4% off every time. Yes. 00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:14.240 Okay. This is Oh god. 00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:19.440 The accuracy is terrible. 2.7 or up to 00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:23.440 3.3 off, but the variance at best is 2% 00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:25.840 and at worst is four. So doing the same 00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:31.679 movement a bunch of times is going to be different every single time you do it. 00:24:28.799 --> 00:24:35.760 But at least it's instant. It's so cool having a Labs team to like 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 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 00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:47.520 actually get good and do aim training or something like that, this is going to 00:24:45.679 --> 00:24:51.840 prevent you from being able to do that. See you later, Tommy. Nice knowing you. 00:24:50.159 --> 00:24:57.039 So, you see how right there it says advanced anti- ghosting with a infinity 00:24:54.400 --> 00:25:03.840 symbol beside that? What happens if I actually press three keys at once? So 27 00:25:01.039 --> 00:25:09.440 30 32 It works. Yeah, you have many more fingers or many less fingers than that. 00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:13.039 Let's go again. Oh my god. Three. That's 00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:15.760 it. Oh, unless you're on a different 00:25:13.039 --> 00:25:23.120 part of the matrix. Oh no. Okay. Spacebar is separate. Okay. 00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:28.400 So, it can handle three per zone, it looks like. And where are my zones? Oh, 00:25:26.159 --> 00:25:34.000 no. Space bar is in the same zone as JKL. Uh-oh. 00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:38.640 Yeah. Okay. If I let go of D, can I hit the space bar? 00:25:35.919 --> 00:25:46.080 Oh, interesting. Is it hitting anything? Up to a total of six maximum at once. 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 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 00:25:52.080 --> 00:25:58.320 game from like 1997 and keyboards back 00:25:55.440 --> 00:26:05.120 then could handle it just fine. Latency is also terrible. 30 milliseconds. Show 00:26:01.279 --> 00:26:07.600 me your secrets. Cover plate. Diffusion 00:26:05.120 --> 00:26:12.400 plate. Oh wow. So it's a diffusion plate, but it's also like the switch 00:26:10.159 --> 00:26:18.559 holder plate. And then obviously this is as advertised. It's a membrane style 00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:19.840 keyboard. Okay. And once again the PCB 00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:24.559 looks like it came out of something from the8s. I love that they put that like 00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:28.240 anti-reverse engineering schmoo on the controller chip. Nobody wants to reverse 00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:33.600 engineer this keyboard, guys. You're taking yourselves too seriously. There's 00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:36.960 your RGB zones, edge lit, uh, two blue 00:26:33.600 --> 00:26:38.320 LEDs, three red and two green. It's 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 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 00:26:46.880 --> 00:26:54.720 keyboard bin in the sky. Goodbye keyboard. Finally, headset. So, 00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:59.279 this is the Arctics Nova 3. So, you can see like little bit extra midbase that 00:26:57.679 --> 00:27:04.720 kind of gets your like gunshots and stuff really nice. Kind of a strange dip 00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:06.960 at 5K. So, maybe not that. Oh, there it 00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:13.360 is. Compared to the Tommy. At least my trained ear nailed the headset. Just 00:27:09.760 --> 00:27:17.039 basically poo poo across the board. 00:27:13.360 --> 00:27:19.120 Yeah. So, bass not too bad after about 00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:23.679 1K. So, like when you're in your mids where like people might be talking or 00:27:20.640 --> 00:27:27.279 where there are like feet or gunshots or 00:27:23.679 --> 00:27:28.559 like kind of anything, it just Yep. Uh, 00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:32.080 I'm not even going to bother trying to find where the screws are. Yeah. Sam, 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 00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:40.880 production they forgot to take off the plastic that's protective because it's 00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:46.320 so bad. He thinks it might be just manufactured wrong. Well, we'll find 00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:50.480 out. There's the RGB lighting. 00:27:46.320 --> 00:27:53.919 Uh, these are dead now. Um, 00:27:50.480 --> 00:27:58.159 okay. Sure. The material is just that 00:27:53.919 --> 00:28:00.799 cheap. Tommy, you done goofed. Surely 00:27:58.159 --> 00:28:04.960 they can't generally be this bad. I don't think so. Yeah, nothing can be 00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:08.799 this bad except this segue to our sponsor, Vessie.
