1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,879
i just want to know what we're doing with it okay so my original plan which i

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:08,800
have not admitted before is i wanted to

3
00:00:06,879 --> 00:00:15,839
just that's right it's back in the studio and in this video we're gonna see

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:18,400
the lioness tech tips crew

5
00:00:15,839 --> 00:00:22,240
to the solid gold xbox controller

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:26,000
if you design electronics or you're just looking for some new testing gear

7
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:29,119
register for keysight university live using the link in the description and

8
00:00:27,519 --> 00:00:33,279
you can get a chance to win one of over a hundred pro grade test gear prizes

9
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,680
what i have to wear gloves yeah

10
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:52,320
is it real gold yeah oh

11
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:55,120
i didn't know is this like actually because it's

12
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:59,280
necessary yeah okay second that you touch it the finish

13
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:05,439
is ruined yeah that makes sense oh wow what's this protective gloves

14
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:10,799
protect my hand it's covered by the new limited edition gold foil LTT shirt okay

15
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:14,880
you made that right yeah i did i designed it oh

16
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:19,360
oh that's uh that's substantial oh why it's

17
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:25,520
so heavy it's solid gold oh my god

18
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,880
that is heavy this is heavy this is a

19
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:30,080
weapon oh my god the finish is actually really

20
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:35,280
nice oh my god i like that the back is like

21
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:38,960
sort of grippy that's smart you definitely don't want to rage quit a

22
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:44,320
game with this yeah how much do you think it weighs

23
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:48,640
that's a probably good five pounds

24
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:51,119
six pounds uh like 10 pounds okay i do

25
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:55,040
training and my 10 pound weight is a little bit heavier than this so maybe

26
00:01:52,880 --> 00:02:00,159
like seven pounds eight pounds this is probably two kilogram like two three

27
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:05,360
pounds am i in the ballpark yeah three pounds three pounds best one yet yeah

28
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:09,280
you know in your brain a kilogram is heavy

29
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:11,280
but yet when you hold it like you know

30
00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:16,480
gee it's got this weight to it get out of here you're not allowed to see it yet

31
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:20,319
brandon tried to see it is this actually gold yeah it's actually gold 18 karat

32
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:23,840
how much did this cost you tell me yeah uh you're i'm supposed

33
00:02:22,319 --> 00:02:28,080
to guess yeah i guess i don't know what the gold price is

34
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:31,360
four thousand or about three thousand dollars four thousand dollars five

35
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:37,920
thousand dollars forty thousand sixty thousand or was it more well it costs at

36
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:38,879
least like 69.99 us

37
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:47,200
um i guess that's actually quite close what's the conversion on that

38
00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:47,890
it actually is 69 000 u.s you're 200 off

39
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:54,000
wow this costs a thousand dollars

40
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:00,480
am i wrong or higher five thousand dollars

41
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:05,040
a bit more than that stop how much does this cost

42
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:08,319
eighty seven thousand dollars holy

43
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:10,640
why did we spend that much on this

44
00:03:08,319 --> 00:03:14,560
for a youtube video for three youtube videos we're milking it oh okay good

45
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:19,920
yeah well at least we're milking it why does this exist

46
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:26,000
have your kilogram of feathers or a kilogram of bad decisions very funny

47
00:03:23,599 --> 00:03:29,440
i have no idea what we're doing here i have

48
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:35,280
yes you haven't filmed this video the whole rest of this video oh how heavy is

49
00:03:31,519 --> 00:03:36,879
it you ask about three pounds one ounce

50
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:45,159
tastes like it's about sixty nine thousand dollars u.s

51
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,159
oh you need the clothes

52
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:54,879
so what's the deal with the back is that like a design on purpose or is that due to the the casting both both okay yeah

53
00:03:53,440 --> 00:04:00,959
basically we couldn't keep the original texture because it would just die in polishing oh okay so we had to create

54
00:03:58,159 --> 00:04:04,959
one okay so i will say the joysticks are fine i'm not seeing any issues that

55
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:10,239
seems normal the buttons seem totally normal i do notice that the the right

56
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:15,040
trigger is definitely hard to push uh or the bumpers are hard to push but

57
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:17,840
the triggers are fine is that due to the controller

58
00:04:16,239 --> 00:04:22,639
yeah they normally use plastic as the spring for those okay

59
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:25,360
all these shoulder buttons are

60
00:04:22,639 --> 00:04:30,800
yeah they're a little rough the triggers are good though

61
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:35,280
you can you can feel it kind of wobble but at the same time like it is smooth

62
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:38,320
thanks to all the extra mass you know yeah i was concerned that the springs

63
00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:43,120
wouldn't be stiff enough but they seem fine yeah i think actually uh because

64
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:47,120
the springs aren't too stiff it's easier to start

65
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:51,199
pulling the trigger it's like pretty easy to feather it

66
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:56,479
like the clack the clack of these oh i didn't even

67
00:04:54,240 --> 00:05:02,960
i didn't even notice they made noise oh that's satisfying i really like that

68
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:09,280
who knew that like a gold xbox controller could be so cool

69
00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:11,919
there's birds in this game oh where are they going can i follow you

70
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:15,039
where are you going where are you going what you doing

71
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:21,919
oh time to go why would you do that wasn't me

72
00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:25,120
i'm out it wasn't me hi carter no don't go back there don't go back don't don't

73
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:28,000
go back there how's the rumble feel do you think muted it's like kind of like

74
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:32,000
um if you were a kid during the n64 days

75
00:05:30,479 --> 00:05:36,400
and you had like a third party rumble pack i just feel like the whole thing is

76
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:39,759
like shaking but not very fast because just too heavy

77
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:46,320
it's subtle the rumble's subtle it's it's there it's

78
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:47,840
present i'm feeling it but these bumpers

79
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:52,479
are awful

80
00:05:49,919 --> 00:05:58,639
it feels like the rumble motor is trying but there's there's way too much mass

81
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,639
for it to make any effect mass effect

82
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:08,400
i don't have any grenades i don't know how to change weapons

83
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:11,919
my hands are fatigued already no i'm not i'm not even like i'm not

84
00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:15,919
even joking like it's it's like mostly in here

85
00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:18,960
like just because you you have to squeeze it so tight

86
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,800
or not not squeeze it so it's just a completely

87
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,199
different muscle

88
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:31,680
movement you know do you think it's a good workout

89
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:36,240
um i mean it's better than absolutely nothing i don't know that i would pay

90
00:06:33,919 --> 00:06:41,199
five to six figures for the privilege if you got this for free but were not

91
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:45,120
allowed to sell it and it was the only controller you could use again oh would

92
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:49,759
you take it you know what i like xbox controllers i

93
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:53,520
mean maybe i don't know if i would pay for

94
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:57,919
a controller quite this uh extravagance but if i'm not paying for it then does

95
00:06:55,199 --> 00:07:01,759
that really matter also you know you can when you want to you can like do some

96
00:06:59,919 --> 00:07:05,120
weight lifting kind of keep yourself active while you game okay but what

97
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:09,759
happens when the next generation of consoles comes out and then new controllers come out

98
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:13,840
am i still not allowed to get them you still keep using that i still have to use this yeah what if it's not backwards

99
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:18,400
compatible we can assume it's black or it's compatible okay you're playing on pc so

100
00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:23,360
like oh yeah okay yeah i would take this it's pretty nifty

101
00:07:21,759 --> 00:07:27,840
as the kids say so what do you think would win kick proof tv or that

102
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:32,400
controller if you raged out oh on sheer mass alone mass plus velocity

103
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:38,479
force this would destroy a tv even the kick proof tv i think this would like it

104
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:42,560
would be destroyed in the process but yeah should go yeah so where do you

105
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:47,360
think this does land on the stupid or cool spectrum oh

106
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:53,520
there's an adage if it's stupid but it works

107
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,720
is it really stupid and i mean it works

108
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:58,160
i mean the buttons just feel like regular xbox buttons because i guess you

109
00:07:56,639 --> 00:08:02,879
didn't really do anything to the pcb right could have made the sticks gold i guess

110
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:06,000
the fact that i have to wear gamer gloves is pretty sick you know just to

111
00:08:04,879 --> 00:08:08,879
use the control that's like put the gloves on you're in for you're in for a

112
00:08:07,919 --> 00:08:12,479
treat other than that though pretty dumb

113
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:16,560
i'm sorry pretty stupid i mean it feels fine

114
00:08:14,639 --> 00:08:19,919
there's really nothing wrong with it i mean it's better than like a you know

115
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:24,319
that second player mad cat controller that you get at a friend's house

116
00:08:22,879 --> 00:08:27,840
i guess Linus when you brought me this project did you expect it to end like

117
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:32,560
this i didn't think it would be this good

118
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:36,880
honestly no offense alex but i just didn't think that it would be

119
00:08:34,479 --> 00:08:41,839
this like perfect you know it's pretty legit i do have to say

120
00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:43,760
like it looks fantastic but this is

121
00:08:41,839 --> 00:08:47,600
a piece of art like no lie the resolution of the gold like i

122
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:52,560
shouldn't be that surprised the jewelers did this right but like seeing the

123
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:56,399
stippling in the triggers is really interesting and all like it it came out

124
00:08:54,959 --> 00:09:01,839
incredibly good yeah yeah um oh we're we're losing one i

125
00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:05,360
gotta say though for eighty seven thousand dollars the this

126
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:09,839
alex we need to laser weld it on should i

127
00:09:07,839 --> 00:09:13,839
wrap it back up in this t-shirt yeah or am i supposed to be like look at this

128
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:17,839
t-shirt oh you can if you want you can pimp the merch

129
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:21,519
because like i saw these in the crater warehouse and

130
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:24,560
i was excited about them i love any of the foil shirts that we have and this

131
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:28,800
one is really cool because like people who actually are like super LTT fans are gonna be

132
00:09:27,519 --> 00:09:34,880
like i remember when you did that really cool project and i bought the t-shirt for it yeah lcdstore.com

133
00:09:33,680 --> 00:09:40,240
these might sell really quick i don't know the other foil shirts did so

134
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:44,959
i think this is the thing you need to have if you have if you're having a

135
00:09:42,399 --> 00:09:48,399
party at home just to show up uh otherwise i don't think this will

136
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:53,200
improve anything for gaming but it's cool

137
00:09:50,399 --> 00:09:57,440
show this to your wife she will kill you i mean it's not the stupidest thing i've

138
00:09:54,720 --> 00:10:00,959
ever spent your money on uh did everyone else think this was a

139
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:04,480
really stupid thing to spend money on it was a pretty split actually

140
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:09,040
really yeah okay that's surprising wow

141
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:15,040
it actually looked fake when i first took it out how could anyone be so dumb as to cast

142
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:18,480
one of these in gold it must be fake i just want to know what we're doing

143
00:10:16,399 --> 00:10:24,640
with it hold on it seems like what do you mean doing with it like look at it

144
00:10:20,560 --> 00:10:26,320
it's cool it looks fake but

145
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:31,360
like actually can we melt it down what i'm well

146
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:34,399
you're done the videos now well hold on a second

147
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:38,880
the total that we paid for is a kilogram of gold so if we melt it all back down and sold

148
00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:42,000
the gold then technically it doesn't cost anything right

149
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:47,279
yes and you would have gotten your videos used and you don't know what you're

150
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:53,200
doing with it anyway okay so my original plan which i have not admitted before is

151
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:57,839
i wanted to just keep it where i have my xbox elite controller you know in my

152
00:10:54,959 --> 00:11:02,240
case on my desk so i thought it would be just as good to use and it would be a

153
00:10:59,839 --> 00:11:06,000
little bit cool now as it turns out it's not as good to use which is bad but it's

154
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:09,680
like way cooler than i thought it would be why is it way cooler

155
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:15,360
can you at least take time to experience it properly i am well you still don't

156
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:19,519
like it so clearly you're not experiencing it properly i don't think time is going to change

157
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:24,240
that so where do you think this lands on the stupid to cool spectrum

158
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:29,839
um you know what i think it's super cool if

159
00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:29,839
we get our money back

160
00:11:30,560 --> 00:11:36,399
we've got three videos out of it it's pretty hard exactly so and we get to

161
00:11:34,959 --> 00:11:40,720
milk it even more if we get to melt down the gold there's game stop and there's

162
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:48,160
this is way cooler than games yeah okay this is way cooler than gamestop yeah

163
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:52,320
but gamestop is setting the bar really really low that's being like this is a

164
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:58,480
better roi than burning fifty thousand dollars yeah exactly so my rating out of

165
00:11:55,360 --> 00:12:01,839
10 is 10 if you melt it down

166
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:03,680
okay what's your rating if i keep it and

167
00:12:01,839 --> 00:12:08,959
just play with it okay how about this we make a deal if you actually use this

168
00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:12,800
at least once a month for the next year then you can keep it but if you don't

169
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:18,000
end up using it then you have to melt it down i shouldn't have to use it if i am

170
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:24,399
going out somewhere where it could get stolen where do you go out to game

171
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:26,480
what are you talking about

172
00:12:24,399 --> 00:12:29,680
roasted i mean what would you guys prefer would you prefer we melt down the

173
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:34,880
gold and spent 100k on a wicked christmas party or whoa hold on a second

174
00:12:32,079 --> 00:12:34,880
don't involve them

175
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:42,399
why not oh it's disconnected now the bluetooth

176
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:47,040
range is not um as good as before craftsmanship well that's not because of

177
00:12:45,279 --> 00:12:51,920
that it's because metal blocks the antenna that's a tech tip so that's uh

178
00:12:49,519 --> 00:12:56,720
you and alex's craftsmanship i wouldn't describe me or alex as a craftsman

179
00:12:54,399 --> 00:12:56,720
wow

180
00:12:57,839 --> 00:13:03,680
how do i get it to reconnect uh i don't i think we're done here okay

181
00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:09,839
all right i think you should get rid of it seriously i shall consider your

182
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,839
viewpoint

183
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:16,639
all right oh

184
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:21,040
okay craftsmanship

185
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:24,480
this says sponsor dbrand but the prompter doesn't say anything about

186
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:29,040
dbrand let me take that from you what's this give me that all right Linus can

187
00:13:26,399 --> 00:13:33,600
you do a segue to today's sponsor sure and this video is brought to you by

188
00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:38,000
dbrand i guess right yeah it's dbrand they sent you a package to unbox Linus

189
00:13:35,839 --> 00:13:38,000
yes

190
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:45,760
i am assuming this is the bag of money that i asked to be

191
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:50,000
included in the ShortCircuit unboxing we did

192
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:55,200
of their dark plates what is

193
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:57,120
wait is this a hundred [ __ ] pounds of

194
00:13:55,200 --> 00:14:01,040
chocolate yes it got delivered to my house and my pregnant wife had to

195
00:13:58,959 --> 00:14:04,399
receive it and then it's a hundred pounds

196
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:08,079
of golden chocolate loonies

197
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,199
can i shower in them

198
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:17,920
so here's the weird part that there's a weird part yeah the

199
00:14:15,839 --> 00:14:22,800
robots said that this is payment for the last video and that they talked to you

200
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:26,959
already about this video no then we probably got bamboozled

201
00:14:24,959 --> 00:14:31,680
Colton wow what's happening are you embezzling me is this chocolate cause i

202
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:34,240
got i got a little message from d brand yesterday

203
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:41,040
oh there's actually money in there this was like one of the most stressful

204
00:14:39,279 --> 00:14:45,440
projects that i've done in a really long time it's so much money like if you

205
00:14:43,519 --> 00:14:50,800
screw it up like casting's hard casting's really hard

206
00:14:48,639 --> 00:14:54,639
and although i'm sure that like i knew that the jewelers after a couple of

207
00:14:52,399 --> 00:14:58,000
tries could definitely get this down like it's a one-off prototype and they

208
00:14:56,399 --> 00:15:02,560
don't normally do stuff this big so i was genuinely concerned that it might

209
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:07,040
just turn out like hot garbage or we would have to like

210
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:09,120
re-melt a bunch of gold buy a bunch more

211
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:12,320
and like do it two or three times in order to get the result that we want and

212
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:15,199
it would just take forever but i'm really impressed with how it turned out

213
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:19,920
it is freaking beautiful like after i saw the

214
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:23,760
casting of this piece right here and it was just

215
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:28,160
all pitted to hell up on the top i was like how are they

216
00:15:26,079 --> 00:15:33,279
going to manage to make this nice and smooth but like henry absolutely killed

217
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:36,160
it i'm just going to take it for a walk now um

218
00:15:36,399 --> 00:15:44,760
yeah i'll see you guys later how much do you think you get from that with the pawn

219
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,760
shop i don't know
