The Arc midi R2 by fractal design features massive air flow and highly
flexible liquid cooling support click now to learn more so we're here with a
bit of an impromptu video um I'm here with the inventor of
the whatever you can be like Steve Jobs you invented it I just just take credit
for someone else's work yeah pretty much anyways I saw a demonstration
someone strapped a phone to an Xbox controller and then was able to
wirelessly connect the Xbox controller to his computer and use a program called
Splashtop to stream the his monitor to
his phone so he could basically make a ghetto Shield
then so here's the uh here's what we got going on right here there's some Counter
Strike being played on a computer downstairs this is being streamed
wirelessly on a Galaxy S3 um looks pretty good 800x 600 right
800x 600 on the desktop it looks very crisp here though um so what we were
thinking is we're going to take a little bit further than the demonstration that I saw and we're going to do a wired
version so you can have your controller plugged directly into your phone and
play Android games that way a wireless version so you can have your controller
connected wirelessly to your computer and play desktop games that way and we
were thinking about throwing a SNES controller in there for some awesomeness as well so basically by the time we
invest in a couple of Xbox controllers
and an OTG cable and free software you
can basically make a ghetto shield for under 100 bucks be able to pull that
down a bit just estimated now it doesn't have the uh it doesn't have the battery
life benefit of Shield um doesn't have necessarily the all-in-one convenience
of shield no and you're you have some black bars on the side and there's yada
y y y y but you're saving a bunch of money and it's kind of fun and it has
data and and it has data so we're guys we're going to we're going to bring you
sort of the the the ghetto the ghetto Shield sometime in the next little bit
here but we're thinking something like a cell phone case so that you can actually
snap your your phone into the piece that
that sits mounted to the controller so you'd have like two dedicated controllers a wireless and a wired one
and then your phone which can just go in and out as much as you want and we've
we've got a bunch of plans but we don't know exactly what's going to work yet but we know that we can make a wireless
and wired version already so we're going to go with that for now wish us luck and
as always guys don't forget to subscribe to L Tech tips from unboxings reviews and other computer videos and uh this
video is uh brought to you from whatever we end up keying into the
background where where are we
um in dust yes in dust
