welcome to my unboxing and first look at the steel series free which contrary to
what you might believe having heard the name of the product costs money not very
much money mind you it's not super expensive but it is super Freedom
enhancing which is I think what they were going for with the name but what it
sounds like is that it doesn't cost anything so there it is tiny little game
controller which has huge huge
functionality especially once we get into a little bit more about it and you
guys understand what's going on here so first things first we've got a quick
start guide which is thick they should call it a thick start
guide yeah all right how to configure
your free on different devices carrying pouch USB cable quick start guide
Android iOS including iPhones iPads
iPods uh PC Mac general information
pairing mode buttons end of English so
what you guys may have figured out based on that is that there's a steel series
sticker inside as well as a little Guide to the free product family and the flux
product family which I also have here which is some pretty sweet baller
looking headphones um what you may have figured out is that this is pretty much
universally compatible with any number of different plat forms and it is for
playing games now the first thing that came to mind for me is holy crap I have
a Bluetooth controller that is portable and wireless and convenient and I can
use it to play like SNES games on an emulator on my Android tablet holy
freaking crap of course that's not what we're supposed to use it for because
nobody has any SNES games on their tablet on an emulator because that is
not what you do no
you're playing other games however if
you have other games it'll work with that too so you got a pretty bog
standard configuration it's perfect for SNES games although you won't be playing
those with a left and right shoulder button a d-pad start and I mean A and B
as well as uh oh no yeah sorry sorry ABX
uh sorry 1 two 3 4 those are the other buttons however you got a couple of
analog sticks which actually they're a little stiff but
they'll probably loosen up in time they feel pretty good not bad considering
again the cost of the controller and the size um so you got a couple analog
sticks in case you want to use those for you know other games that you're not
playing on an SNES I mean you're not playing any games on this joke's old um
so charging you get about 10 hours of intense gaming with the device uh when
it's got a full charge and around 20 plus hours of casual gaming where you're
sort of using it uh sometimes and then not using it other times and I don't
know what he's pointing at I don't know what he's pointing at por slick C cable
length oh cable length oh he wants to no the cable doesn't matter the cable's
just for charging charge it and play it on your computer sometime well yeah you
could but that Bluetooth anyway so it's
cordless but slick wants okay fine it's
this long it is one Linus ARM length and one Linus chest width
long and other than that I guess let's just look sort of closely at it and how
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
you can see that I will have no difficulty using this now I'm going to go ahead and take the camera from slick
and I'd like him to hold it in his hands so if you are a large person like slick
who's basically a giant it might not be perfect for you I hope they come out
with like a free XL or like uh you know free something and it's a little bit
bigger but for now this is perfect for girls children and men with girly hands
