There's gonna be latency, there's gonna be degraded visuals and all that. But now there's all sorts of different handheld devices like the Peek-Doh, what's it called? It's called the Peek-Doh 7-inch MMWave streaming handheld game device. Say that five times. And this device specifically is, as it sounds like, a handheld gaming device with no actual computer inside of itself. It's got controllers for its wireless receiver and it's got a display, but it's meant only to stream games from other devices. So that's whether that be PC or console. I'm excited for this because I have been recently using my Ion Neo Pro 2021 retro power, I think is what it's called. I wanted out of the LMG Christmas party. What a great company. And it actually has a Ryzen 50 800 or 4800 U in it, I forget. You can run games locally on it, but you can also stream games to it. And I've been using it for that quite a bit. So I'm excited to check this out. This device comes with a dongle, which is in here, I'm assuming. That's a power adapter. It comes with this HDMI dongle, which you plug into the HDMI output of whatever. It will stream directly 60 gigahertz millimeter wave wireless spectrum to this device. Let's take a look at the device itself. It is, you know, vaguely switched like. It's got some vents on the top here and slideable controllers. I believe that they slide off in the same way that Joy-Cons do. So it's a little bigger than a switch. I believe that this is a seven inch display. I believe they said that the side rails are compatible with Joy-Cons. We're gonna confirm that right here. Oh, look at that. On the top, we have a power button. We have a check mark button that I'm not sure what that does. Maybe we'll find out later. A plus and minus button, probably volume. We've got a headphone jack, very nice. And a USB-C port that looks like it's probably power. On the back, is this something? I don't know. We've got the rails for the controllers, as I mentioned, on the bottom speakers, I guess, two speakers on either side. I haven't seen another variant of the controllers other than this like kind of retro, you know, see-through design, which is fricking sweet. Let's slide them on here and see how it feels. We got our joy sticks. We got our ABXY, just like the switch. We got a plus and minus button here, just like the switch. D-pad, a T button. Oh, turns out the check mark button on the top is a enter slash menu button. There's another button there. I mean, it's a circle in a square. Over here, we got a home, a house home button, and oh, another T button. And then, of course, we got the bumpers and the triggers. Okay, what else is in the package? We got a USB power adapter, USB-C power adapter. Okay, we have a USB-C cord, five feet or so, using my objective measure. We don't need the lab. And there are USB-C ports on the bottom of each one of the controllers, I guess, to charge. There's no physical connector on the rail because, as we'll see in a moment, these controllers actually don't connect to this thing. They connect to the thing that's playing the game. We'll get into it. We also have a USB-A dongle, which is the Bluetooth adapter for the controller. Next up, we have the HDMI dongle. We got the HDMI connector here. We got a five-volt USB-C connector. I believe that is for the USB-A cable that's going to also go into the system. We'll find out. There's a button on the back, which I guess is for pairing, maybe. And then we have the USB-A to USB-C power cable. The device also comes with a screen protector, and this patch is the thing that helps you install the screen protector without having lint and crap and bubbles on your screen. Speaking of which, I haven't peeled the thing that I'm supposed to peel off this, so we're all learning things today. Also, I didn't even mention, it's nice that it comes with this, it's like travel case, and with a zipper pocket and everything, and a doohickey to hold things in place. Delicious. Real quick, let's find out how much it weighs. 558 grams. Yeah, they say it's 380 grams without the controllers. 423. HDMI. Uh-oh, are we gonna, is it gonna fit next to the power adapter? Yes. The USB-C goes here, and then the A-end goes into an A port, USB-A port. Setting up a device. Something's happening. Multi-touch V5000 is ready to go. Is this the pairing button, or? If that's a button, it is not really responding. First, let's try turning this thing on. Oh, it's already transmitting. I didn't even have to do anything else, although this is not right. Because this is the same tech used by 5G, you know, millimeter wave wireless spectrum, it basically needs line of sight to the transmitter. So even this situation where we had the laptop here, there's the transmitter, and I put this down with the controllers, I had it resting on the table like that, it'll break. However, if you hold it in an orientation where the antenna basically line of sight with the peak-dough logo on the transmitter, that's where the antenna is in the HDMI dongle. Then, Bob's your uncle. It is very responsive, which is the whole reason why you wanna use a product like this, is this ultra-low latency. When you use cloud streaming, you can take a streaming device into another room, lay on your bed, and play your games. You can't do this with this unless your PC will be in line of sight, so. The next step of the process is connecting the controllers. These are connected to the PC. Slide them in. Oh, I just covered the antenna, it's gone. Oh, touch control works. The USB cable that's plugged into the wireless transmitter here is not just to power the HDMI transmitter, I can send touch control information through the HDMI, which then gets sent to the, well, to the dongle, which gets sent into the PC via the USB. Here we are in the game. I got line of sight and the Joy-Cons are working. This is 1920 by 1200 here, and this is 1920 by 1080. So we got some black bars on the side here. I'm sure we could like, you know, have the black bars here instead of here if we want to, but you know, I'm just happy to be here. Also this yellow border is because we're screen recording the laptop with OBS. Obviously with any wireless streaming solution, you're going to have like a little bit of latency, but I'm actually, you know, I'm a little disappointed to see that the latency between me moving the controller and seeing how that changes is, it's very noticeable. The reason why there might be this latency still, despite using this fancy, fancy 60 Hertz millimeter wave tech, is because these are regular Bluetooth connection for the controllers, which is going to the computer, and then it's sending that information back over the 60 Hertz connection. I can verify that that is why, I think, because when I use the trackpad, it's almost one to one. There's almost no latency, see? If you connected a wired controller to your PC, you would have zero latency. If you had like a really long USB cord, maybe. Am I just not used to controller FPS? Like come try this. Just move your view back and forth and like tell me if that's normal. This feels totally fine. Does it feel like I'm at a disadvantage or like my input is not real? I feel like I'm at a disadvantage. I feel like this is totally what gaming feels like. Okay, so to Jake's point, I don't usually play with wireless controllers. Now, I will say as someone who regularly plays games streaming, I beat all of Jedi Survivor just streaming from my work PC to my I and EO. I will say that this latency is more than acceptable. Like it's super playable. I could easily play this entire game with this amount of latency. It is just given the claims made by this product. You say you have zero latency, I'm gonna give you a bit of a hard time. Is that okay? Geez. What? Oh, it's a decoy. It's been so long since I played this game. So as I'm dying here, everything looks nice and sharp. There's a 1080p display, 60 Hertz. And it doesn't seem to have any trouble, you know, transmitting. I'm not seeing almost zero visual artifacts. So like the quality of, you know, the streaming experience here is great. This device cannot just be used with PC. You can use it with consoles or basically anything that has an HDMI port. It's a wireless display. You can stream your console games. And we have a switch here. I'm gonna try it out real quick. So it's plugged in. It's powered by the USB cord. And we're getting a image on the display. As I said earlier, these rails are actually compatible with the Joy-Cons. So you can just slide the Joy-Cons right onto this thing that also looks exactly like a switch. Why would you wanna do that? Oh, because when the switch is plugged into the dock, it outputs full 1080p handheld. It's 720p only. How would you connect the controllers to your console? For the switch at least, you don't actually need the Bluetooth dongle. These will connect directly to the switch. I think because they have the Joy-Con hardware ID. Now I'm going to put them on the peak dough and I am now using it wirelessly with the third party controllers. Latencies over the Bluetooth connection with the controller seems about the same. We're playing audio over the speakers and just to see how they sound in it. It's not amazing. Ah, however, there is a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack. So you can use that instead. Oh, we countered. Wow. Well, the experience here is great. I wouldn't buy this specifically for switch stuff, but I mean, it's cool to see that you can do this whole like 1080p handheld thing. The seven inch version is $350. The 11 inch version. It is less bright. So this seven inch has a max brightness of 500 nits and the 11 inch has 300 nits. The question is, is $350 worth it for a device that doesn't have an internal processor? It has a lot of limitations. You have to connect your controllers to the device that you're streaming from instead of just having one solution. Another limitation is the fact that you have to be in line of sight. However, the latency, at least for the visuals streaming is very, very, very low. The consumer that they're targeting appears to be someone who has a PC or a console in the same room as the place where they want to stream it to wirelessly. They have a TV and they're with their partner or the friend and they want to either watch something and play something at the same time. You can have shoulder to shoulder time with your significant other while also ignoring each other. I've done it. It's also a wireless display. You know, maybe you wouldn't use the seven inch one for this, but I could see using the 11 inches sort of like a secondary display for a laptop. There's options, but it is really hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that like someone would buy this instead of spending like a bit more and getting something like a steam deck, but that's gonna be up to you. A lot of things that I've been saying today are just very particular to me. What do you guys think? Leave a comment below if you are going to drop $350 on this and tell me why."}
