00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:13,679
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the steel series free which contrary to

2
00:00:11,599 --> 00:00:19,359
what you might believe having heard the name of the product costs money not very

3
00:00:17,240 --> 00:00:25,160
much money mind you it's not super expensive but it is super Freedom

4
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:29,039
enhancing which is I think what they were going for with the name but what it

5
00:00:27,439 --> 00:00:36,600
sounds like is that it doesn't cost anything so there it is tiny little game

6
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:38,879
controller which has huge huge

7
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:42,680
functionality especially once we get into a little bit more about it and you

8
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:45,760
guys understand what's going on here so first things first we've got a quick

9
00:00:44,079 --> 00:00:48,800
start guide which is thick they should call it a thick start

10
00:00:49,239 --> 00:00:54,879
guide yeah all right how to configure

11
00:00:52,760 --> 00:01:01,840
your free on different devices carrying pouch USB cable quick start guide

12
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:06,040
Android iOS including iPhones iPads

13
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:10,320
iPods uh PC Mac general information

14
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:12,159
pairing mode buttons end of English so

15
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:16,640
what you guys may have figured out based on that is that there's a steel series

16
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:21,040
sticker inside as well as a little Guide to the free product family and the flux

17
00:01:19,119 --> 00:01:25,119
product family which I also have here which is some pretty sweet baller

18
00:01:22,759 --> 00:01:29,200
looking headphones um what you may have figured out is that this is pretty much

19
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:33,799
universally compatible with any number of different plat forms and it is for

20
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:39,360
playing games now the first thing that came to mind for me is holy crap I have

21
00:01:36,399 --> 00:01:44,680
a Bluetooth controller that is portable and wireless and convenient and I can

22
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:50,159
use it to play like SNES games on an emulator on my Android tablet holy

23
00:01:47,479 --> 00:01:54,640
freaking crap of course that's not what we're supposed to use it for because

24
00:01:51,920 --> 00:02:01,200
nobody has any SNES games on their tablet on an emulator because that is

25
00:01:57,479 --> 00:02:04,360
not what you do no

26
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,799
you're playing other games however if

27
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:09,640
you have other games it'll work with that too so you got a pretty bog

28
00:02:07,759 --> 00:02:13,160
standard configuration it's perfect for SNES games although you won't be playing

29
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:21,319
those with a left and right shoulder button a d-pad start and I mean A and B

30
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:23,480
as well as uh oh no yeah sorry sorry ABX

31
00:02:21,319 --> 00:02:27,720
uh sorry 1 two 3 4 those are the other buttons however you got a couple of

32
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:31,519
analog sticks which actually they're a little stiff but

33
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:35,840
they'll probably loosen up in time they feel pretty good not bad considering

34
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:40,480
again the cost of the controller and the size um so you got a couple analog

35
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:43,720
sticks in case you want to use those for you know other games that you're not

36
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:49,120
playing on an SNES I mean you're not playing any games on this joke's old um

37
00:02:46,599 --> 00:02:53,440
so charging you get about 10 hours of intense gaming with the device uh when

38
00:02:51,319 --> 00:02:57,840
it's got a full charge and around 20 plus hours of casual gaming where you're

39
00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:01,760
sort of using it uh sometimes and then not using it other times and I don't

40
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:07,159
know what he's pointing at I don't know what he's pointing at por slick C cable

41
00:03:04,959 --> 00:03:10,879
length oh cable length oh he wants to no the cable doesn't matter the cable's

42
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:16,120
just for charging charge it and play it on your computer sometime well yeah you

43
00:03:12,519 --> 00:03:19,280
could but that Bluetooth anyway so it's

44
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:21,519
cordless but slick wants okay fine it's

45
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:27,440
this long it is one Linus ARM length and one Linus chest width

46
00:03:24,959 --> 00:03:30,840
long and other than that I guess let's just look sort of closely at it and how

47
00:03:29,319 --> 00:03:36,040
awesome it is is and how small it is oh you know what this might be kind of funny so this is it next to my hands so

48
00:03:34,599 --> 00:03:41,680
you can see that I will have no difficulty using this now I'm going to go ahead and take the camera from slick

49
00:03:38,959 --> 00:03:47,319
and I'd like him to hold it in his hands so if you are a large person like slick

50
00:03:44,959 --> 00:03:52,400
who's basically a giant it might not be perfect for you I hope they come out

51
00:03:49,439 --> 00:03:57,000
with like a free XL or like uh you know free something and it's a little bit

52
00:03:54,280 --> 00:04:03,000
bigger but for now this is perfect for girls children and men with girly hands

53
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:07,239
