1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:06,839
so I'm a bit of a stickler when it comes to controllers there are so many on the

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:12,040
market that it's hard for them to impress and easy for them to just piss

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:16,440
me off perfect example let's take a trip down memory lane and check out some of

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:21,960
the highlights from my hyperkin Retron 5 review from 2014 speaking of the

5
00:00:19,119 --> 00:00:26,599
included controller it's garbage mushy acceptable straight up puke worthy it

6
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:32,079
squeaks when you spin it obstruction grinds against the stick

7
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:37,680
unpleasant horrible feeling abysmal latency funky latency issues comes with

8
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:42,520
a controller which will just add Mass to land fills so yeah make a shitty

9
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:47,480
controller and I'm not going to shy away from calling you out especially if it's

10
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:52,680
wireless but make a great controller and an impressive Wireless solution and you

11
00:00:49,719 --> 00:00:57,719
have my complete and undivided attention this is analog an 8bit doze retro

12
00:00:55,199 --> 00:01:03,120
receiver for NES and SNES along with 8 bit doze matching controllers and let me

13
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:06,290
tell you they've got my attention and they should have yours too let's find

14
00:01:05,320 --> 00:01:11,219
out

15
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:20,520
why cooler Master's master case maker 5 features their free form modular system

16
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:25,560
allowing you to customize adjust and upgrade make it yours at the link below

17
00:01:23,479 --> 00:01:29,920
input devices are like tools you should use the right one for the right job when

18
00:01:27,759 --> 00:01:34,680
you can a keyboard or Mouse isn't generally the greatest experience for a

19
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:39,040
racing game and a racing wheel while it would be fun in a silly way if you can

20
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:43,720
get it to work is just an idiotic pairing for a game like Counter-Strike

21
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:48,200
GO continuing this theme I prefer to play Platformers with smaller retro

22
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:53,479
inspired controllers that don't have extraneous things I don't need joysticks

23
00:01:51,439 --> 00:01:57,600
specifically I really like nests and sest controllers now both of the 8bit do

24
00:01:56,119 --> 00:02:03,320
controllers which we'll cover more deeply later on can officially con with

25
00:02:00,399 --> 00:02:07,399
iOS macOS Android and Windows through a simple Bluetooth connection which will

26
00:02:05,119 --> 00:02:13,000
allow you to play new Platformers various d-pad based games and more

27
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:17,800
including the morally gray area of emulated games but first I want to take

28
00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:22,480
a moment to look at their retro receivers for both the NES and the SNES

29
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:26,959
these compact little devices look like someone just clipped the cable off of

30
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:33,120
the plug end of a controller and added a little micro USB port a sync button and

31
00:02:29,959 --> 00:02:35,000
a light which in my opinion looks great

32
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:39,280
functionality wise they're surprisingly flexible they can be plugged into a

33
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:44,239
PlayStation 3 a PC or a Mac through micro USB and used as a highquality just

34
00:02:41,959 --> 00:02:49,959
straight Bluetooth adapter or they can be plugged into an original NES or SNES

35
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:52,239
unit an analog NT or some other form of

36
00:02:49,959 --> 00:02:56,360
aftermarket Nest or SNES that uses the original plugs cool once you've got all

37
00:02:54,680 --> 00:03:01,159
that hooked up you can then officially pair it with PlayStation 4 controllers

38
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:05,959
PlayStation 3 controllers rers wiimotes Wii U pro controllers and various 8bit

39
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:11,760
do controllers and arcade sticks they transmit data over Bluetooth 2.1 plus

40
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:14,080
EDR Class 2 and the experience is I'm

41
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:19,720
happy to say fantastic with minimal latency unlike that terrible terrible

42
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:23,959
Retron controller let's jump back now to a more in-depth look at the 8-Bit dop

43
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:29,120
controllers along with the wicked connectivity options that I mentioned

44
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:31,840
above most importantly the nes30 and

45
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:37,920
SNES 30 do something that many have failed to achieve they feel right with

46
00:03:35,519 --> 00:03:42,080
the perfect retro inspired gray ribbon cable attached I think you could

47
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:46,239
convince most people in a blind taste test that this was the real thing and if

48
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:50,720
you're any good with ness or SNES controllers this helps with more than

49
00:03:48,319 --> 00:03:55,439
just pseudo authenticity I mean the classic controllers made by Nintendo

50
00:03:52,599 --> 00:04:00,599
were good for a reason not just because they were original but because they were

51
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:04,959
responsive and felt right like the games were specifically designed to be played

52
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:10,000
with them and it helps that they were relatively hard to break too something

53
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:14,360
that I don't intend to Benchmark but seems to be true with these replicas as

54
00:04:12,079 --> 00:04:18,840
well but back to New functionality in order to cover all of the bases 8bit do

55
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:23,560
has included a variety of modes in which the controller can run including a

56
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:29,240
touchscreen emulation mode where you can drag and drop input passrs so that your

57
00:04:26,479 --> 00:04:34,800
inputs to the controller translate into input to the game which can be a huge

58
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:39,240
benefit because I hate playing anything but turn-based games on mobile due to

59
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:43,000
crappy touchscreen input and you get some other goodies like multiplayer

60
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:47,759
support on iOS and the nes30 even including a clip on the back called the

61
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:53,039
Xander which you can remove to prop up your phone this shouldn't be confused

62
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:55,280
with the other Xander which Clips onto

63
00:04:53,039 --> 00:05:01,000
your controller and your phone sort of mimicking an NVIDIA Shield this product

64
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:04,120
with the exact same name is totally

65
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,639
different obviously but if lonus tech

66
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:09,800
tips was going to let crappy product naming hurt our overall rating of a

67
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:15,400
product the razor blade would be the worst laptop 3 years running and it

68
00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:17,720
isn't so all in all I wasn't even sure

69
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:23,680
if I was going to review these but after spending time with them they just work

70
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:28,160
they feel like nest and Nest controllers they can be wired or wirelessly

71
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:32,160
transmitted with the Retro receiver they can even be used with the original

72
00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:36,199
or aftermarket Nest Source Nest devices which I like to use along with modern

73
00:05:34,639 --> 00:05:41,160
computers smartphones and even a PlayStation 3 if you're more into that

74
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:46,520
so great work analog and 8bit D there isn't really much more I can think to

75
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:51,880
ask from these products so I guess I'll end with that today we're talking about

76
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:56,000
iFixit prote toolkit it's been completely reimagined but it's just as

77
00:05:53,680 --> 00:06:02,120
rugged and portable as before it includes the new 64-bit driver kit which

78
00:05:58,639 --> 00:06:04,680
replaced the former 54-- bit driver kit

79
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:09,680
and there are tons of magnets the 64-bit kit itself is held to the front roll

80
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:14,039
using magnets and as the shell is able to be taken off with magnets as well it

81
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:17,919
can be used as a like Parts tray there's also a newly redesigned swivel top

82
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:21,720
Precision driver which I personally like a lot and the flex extension that you

83
00:06:20,039 --> 00:06:25,960
know from before for hard to reach places there's Precision ESD safe

84
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:30,960
tweezers including a pair of reverse tweezers and a wider variety of plastic

85
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:34,840
opening tools and picks to safely work on tablets and smartphones and certain

86
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:39,319
iOS devices and whatnot and you're backed by iFixit lifetime warranty and

87
00:06:37,639 --> 00:06:43,199
if you're like whatever man I already own one just go check out their guides

88
00:06:41,599 --> 00:06:49,360
they have tons of guides on tearing down a huge amount of electronics so I
