WEBVTT

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

00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:08.800
have not admitted before is i wanted to

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

00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:18.400
the lioness tech tips crew

00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:22.240
to the solid gold xbox controller

00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:26.000
if you design electronics or you're just looking for some new testing gear

register for keysight university live using the link in the description and

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

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:47.680
what i have to wear gloves yeah

00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:52.320
is it real gold yeah oh

00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:55.120
i didn't know is this like actually because it's

00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:59.280
necessary yeah okay second that you touch it the finish

00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:05.439
is ruined yeah that makes sense oh wow what's this protective gloves

00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:10.799
protect my hand it's covered by the new limited edition gold foil LTT shirt okay

00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:14.880
you made that right yeah i did i designed it oh

00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:19.360
oh that's uh that's substantial oh why it's

00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:25.520
so heavy it's solid gold oh my god

00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:26.880
that is heavy this is heavy this is a

00:01:25.520 --> 00:01:30.080
weapon oh my god the finish is actually really

00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:35.280
nice oh my god i like that the back is like

00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:38.960
sort of grippy that's smart you definitely don't want to rage quit a

00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:44.320
game with this yeah how much do you think it weighs

00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:48.640
that's a probably good five pounds

00:01:44.320 --> 00:01:51.119
six pounds uh like 10 pounds okay i do

00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:55.040
training and my 10 pound weight is a little bit heavier than this so maybe

00:01:52.880 --> 00:02:00.159
like seven pounds eight pounds this is probably two kilogram like two three

00:01:58.320 --> 00:02:05.360
pounds am i in the ballpark yeah three pounds three pounds best one yet yeah

00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:09.280
you know in your brain a kilogram is heavy

00:02:06.320 --> 00:02:11.280
but yet when you hold it like you know

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

00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:20.319
brandon tried to see it is this actually gold yeah it's actually gold 18 karat

00:02:18.640 --> 00:02:23.840
how much did this cost you tell me yeah uh you're i'm supposed

00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:28.080
to guess yeah i guess i don't know what the gold price is

00:02:25.760 --> 00:02:31.360
four thousand or about three thousand dollars four thousand dollars five

00:02:29.440 --> 00:02:37.920
thousand dollars forty thousand sixty thousand or was it more well it costs at

00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:38.879
least like 69.99 us

00:02:37.920 --> 00:02:47.200
um i guess that's actually quite close what's the conversion on that

00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:47.890
it actually is 69 000 u.s you're 200 off

00:02:47.200 --> 00:02:54.000
wow this costs a thousand dollars

00:02:54.000 --> 00:03:00.480
am i wrong or higher five thousand dollars

00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:05.040
a bit more than that stop how much does this cost

00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:08.319
eighty seven thousand dollars holy

00:03:05.040 --> 00:03:10.640
why did we spend that much on this

00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:14.560
for a youtube video for three youtube videos we're milking it oh okay good

00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:19.920
yeah well at least we're milking it why does this exist

00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:26.000
have your kilogram of feathers or a kilogram of bad decisions very funny

00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:29.440
i have no idea what we're doing here i have

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

00:03:31.519 --> 00:03:36.879
it you ask about three pounds one ounce

00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:45.159
tastes like it's about sixty nine thousand dollars u.s

00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:45.159
oh you need the clothes

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

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

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

00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:10.239
seems normal the buttons seem totally normal i do notice that the the right

00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:15.040
trigger is definitely hard to push uh or the bumpers are hard to push but

00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:17.840
the triggers are fine is that due to the controller

00:04:16.239 --> 00:04:22.639
yeah they normally use plastic as the spring for those okay

00:04:19.440 --> 00:04:25.360
all these shoulder buttons are

00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:30.800
yeah they're a little rough the triggers are good though

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

00:04:33.520 --> 00:04:38.320
thanks to all the extra mass you know yeah i was concerned that the springs

00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:43.120
wouldn't be stiff enough but they seem fine yeah i think actually uh because

00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:47.120
the springs aren't too stiff it's easier to start

00:04:45.280 --> 00:04:51.199
pulling the trigger it's like pretty easy to feather it

00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:56.479
like the clack the clack of these oh i didn't even

00:04:54.240 --> 00:05:02.960
i didn't even notice they made noise oh that's satisfying i really like that

00:05:00.960 --> 00:05:09.280
who knew that like a gold xbox controller could be so cool

00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:11.919
there's birds in this game oh where are they going can i follow you

00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:15.039
where are you going where are you going what you doing

00:05:15.440 --> 00:05:21.919
oh time to go why would you do that wasn't me

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

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

00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:32.000
um if you were a kid during the n64 days

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

00:05:34.320 --> 00:05:39.759
like shaking but not very fast because just too heavy

00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:46.320
it's subtle the rumble's subtle it's it's there it's

00:05:42.080 --> 00:05:47.840
present i'm feeling it but these bumpers

00:05:46.320 --> 00:05:52.479
are awful

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

00:05:54.400 --> 00:05:58.639
for it to make any effect mass effect

00:06:01.520 --> 00:06:08.400
i don't have any grenades i don't know how to change weapons

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

00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:15.919
even joking like it's it's like mostly in here

00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:18.960
like just because you you have to squeeze it so tight

00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:22.800
or not not squeeze it so it's just a completely

00:06:21.440 --> 00:06:25.199
different muscle

00:06:25.520 --> 00:06:31.680
movement you know do you think it's a good workout

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

00:06:33.919 --> 00:06:41.199
five to six figures for the privilege if you got this for free but were not

00:06:38.880 --> 00:06:45.120
allowed to sell it and it was the only controller you could use again oh would

00:06:43.520 --> 00:06:49.759
you take it you know what i like xbox controllers i

00:06:47.440 --> 00:06:53.520
mean maybe i don't know if i would pay for

00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:57.919
a controller quite this uh extravagance but if i'm not paying for it then does

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

00:06:59.919 --> 00:07:05.120
weight lifting kind of keep yourself active while you game okay but what

00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:09.759
happens when the next generation of consoles comes out and then new controllers come out

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

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

00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:23.360
like oh yeah okay yeah i would take this it's pretty nifty

00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:27.840
as the kids say so what do you think would win kick proof tv or that

00:07:24.880 --> 00:07:32.400
controller if you raged out oh on sheer mass alone mass plus velocity

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

00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:42.560
would be destroyed in the process but yeah should go yeah so where do you

00:07:40.400 --> 00:07:47.360
think this does land on the stupid or cool spectrum oh

00:07:45.520 --> 00:07:53.520
there's an adage if it's stupid but it works

00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:54.720
is it really stupid and i mean it works

00:07:53.520 --> 00:07:58.160
i mean the buttons just feel like regular xbox buttons because i guess you

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

00:08:01.440 --> 00:08:06.000
the fact that i have to wear gamer gloves is pretty sick you know just to

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

00:08:07.919 --> 00:08:12.479
treat other than that though pretty dumb

00:08:11.280 --> 00:08:16.560
i'm sorry pretty stupid i mean it feels fine

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

00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:24.319
that second player mad cat controller that you get at a friend's house

00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:27.840
i guess Linus when you brought me this project did you expect it to end like

00:08:26.400 --> 00:08:32.560
this i didn't think it would be this good

00:08:30.080 --> 00:08:36.880
honestly no offense alex but i just didn't think that it would be

00:08:34.479 --> 00:08:41.839
this like perfect you know it's pretty legit i do have to say

00:08:38.560 --> 00:08:43.760
like it looks fantastic but this is

00:08:41.839 --> 00:08:47.600
a piece of art like no lie the resolution of the gold like i

00:08:45.920 --> 00:08:52.560
shouldn't be that surprised the jewelers did this right but like seeing the

00:08:49.760 --> 00:08:56.399
stippling in the triggers is really interesting and all like it it came out

00:08:54.959 --> 00:09:01.839
incredibly good yeah yeah um oh we're we're losing one i

00:09:00.560 --> 00:09:05.360
gotta say though for eighty seven thousand dollars the this

00:09:03.920 --> 00:09:09.839
alex we need to laser weld it on should i

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

00:09:11.760 --> 00:09:17.839
t-shirt oh you can if you want you can pimp the merch

00:09:15.040 --> 00:09:21.519
because like i saw these in the crater warehouse and

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

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

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

00:09:33.680 --> 00:09:40.240
these might sell really quick i don't know the other foil shirts did so

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

00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:48.399
party at home just to show up uh otherwise i don't think this will

00:09:47.040 --> 00:09:53.200
improve anything for gaming but it's cool

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

00:09:54.720 --> 00:10:00.959
ever spent your money on uh did everyone else think this was a

00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:04.480
really stupid thing to spend money on it was a pretty split actually

00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:09.040
really yeah okay that's surprising wow

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

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

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

00:10:20.560 --> 00:10:26.320
it's cool it looks fake but

00:10:24.640 --> 00:10:31.360
like actually can we melt it down what i'm well

00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:34.399
you're done the videos now well hold on a second

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

00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:42.000
the gold then technically it doesn't cost anything right

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

00:10:45.040 --> 00:10:53.200
doing with it anyway okay so my original plan which i have not admitted before is

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

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

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

00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:09.680
like way cooler than i thought it would be why is it way cooler

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

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

00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:24.240
that so where do you think this lands on the stupid to cool spectrum

00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:29.839
um you know what i think it's super cool if

00:11:26.560 --> 00:11:29.839
we get our money back

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

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

00:11:40.800 --> 00:11:48.160
this is way cooler than games yeah okay this is way cooler than gamestop yeah

00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:52.320
but gamestop is setting the bar really really low that's being like this is a

00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:58.480
better roi than burning fifty thousand dollars yeah exactly so my rating out of

00:11:55.360 --> 00:12:01.839
10 is 10 if you melt it down

00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:03.680
okay what's your rating if i keep it and

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

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

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

00:12:16.800 --> 00:12:24.399
going out somewhere where it could get stolen where do you go out to game

00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:26.480
what are you talking about

00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:29.680
roasted i mean what would you guys prefer would you prefer we melt down the

00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:34.880
gold and spent 100k on a wicked christmas party or whoa hold on a second

00:12:32.079 --> 00:12:34.880
don't involve them

00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:42.399
why not oh it's disconnected now the bluetooth

00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:47.040
range is not um as good as before craftsmanship well that's not because of

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

00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:56.720
you and alex's craftsmanship i wouldn't describe me or alex as a craftsman

00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:56.720
wow

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

00:13:02.560 --> 00:13:09.839
all right i think you should get rid of it seriously i shall consider your

00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:09.839
viewpoint

00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:16.639
all right oh

00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:21.040
okay craftsmanship

00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:24.480
this says sponsor dbrand but the prompter doesn't say anything about

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

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

00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:38.000
dbrand i guess right yeah it's dbrand they sent you a package to unbox Linus

00:13:35.839 --> 00:13:38.000
yes

00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:45.760
i am assuming this is the bag of money that i asked to be

00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:50.000
included in the ShortCircuit unboxing we did

00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:55.200
of their dark plates what is

00:13:51.760 --> 00:13:57.120
wait is this a hundred [ __ ] pounds of

00:13:55.200 --> 00:14:01.040
chocolate yes it got delivered to my house and my pregnant wife had to

00:13:58.959 --> 00:14:04.399
receive it and then it's a hundred pounds

00:14:03.040 --> 00:14:08.079
of golden chocolate loonies

00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:11.199
can i shower in them

00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:17.920
so here's the weird part that there's a weird part yeah the

00:14:15.839 --> 00:14:22.800
robots said that this is payment for the last video and that they talked to you

00:14:20.160 --> 00:14:26.959
already about this video no then we probably got bamboozled

00:14:24.959 --> 00:14:31.680
Colton wow what's happening are you embezzling me is this chocolate cause i

00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:34.240
got i got a little message from d brand yesterday

00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:41.040
oh there's actually money in there this was like one of the most stressful

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

00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:50.800
screw it up like casting's hard casting's really hard

00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:54.639
and although i'm sure that like i knew that the jewelers after a couple of

00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:58.000
tries could definitely get this down like it's a one-off prototype and they

00:14:56.399 --> 00:15:02.560
don't normally do stuff this big so i was genuinely concerned that it might

00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:07.040
just turn out like hot garbage or we would have to like

00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:09.120
re-melt a bunch of gold buy a bunch more

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

00:15:10.560 --> 00:15:15.199
it would just take forever but i'm really impressed with how it turned out

00:15:14.160 --> 00:15:19.920
it is freaking beautiful like after i saw the

00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:23.760
casting of this piece right here and it was just

00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:28.160
all pitted to hell up on the top i was like how are they

00:15:26.079 --> 00:15:33.279
going to manage to make this nice and smooth but like henry absolutely killed

00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:36.160
it i'm just going to take it for a walk now um

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

00:15:40.560 --> 00:15:44.760
shop i don't know
