00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.000
I remember when the concept of streaming games wirelessly

00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:09.040
to a handheld device was kind of a wacky idea

00:00:09.040 --> 00:00:13.720
and it was kind of made fun of by both people in the PC and the console community

00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:17.280
as something that's like, why would you wanna do that? There's gonna be latency,

00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:20.320
there's gonna be degraded visuals and all that.

00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:23.760
But now there's all sorts of different handheld devices

00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:25.580
like the Peek-Doh,

00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:31.880
what's it called? It's called the Peek-Doh 7-inch MMWave

00:00:31.880 --> 00:00:35.400
streaming handheld game device. Say that five times.

00:00:35.400 --> 00:00:42.920
And this device specifically is, as it sounds like, a handheld gaming device

00:00:43.160 --> 00:00:46.480
with no actual computer inside of itself.

00:00:46.480 --> 00:00:50.440
It's got controllers for its wireless receiver and it's got a display,

00:00:50.440 --> 00:00:55.440
but it's meant only to stream games from other devices.

00:00:55.680 --> 00:01:01.640
So that's whether that be PC or console. I'm excited for this because I have been recently using

00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:06.640
my Ion Neo Pro 2021 retro power,

00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:10.520
I think is what it's called. I wanted out of the LMG Christmas party.

00:01:10.520 --> 00:01:16.460
What a great company. And it actually has a Ryzen 50 800 or 4800 U in it,

00:01:17.080 --> 00:01:21.020
I forget. You can run games locally on it, but you can also stream games to it.

00:01:21.020 --> 00:01:24.360
And I've been using it for that quite a bit. So I'm excited to check this out.

00:01:24.360 --> 00:01:28.480
This device comes with a dongle, which is in here, I'm assuming.

00:01:31.240 --> 00:01:34.920
That's a power adapter. It comes with this HDMI dongle,

00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:39.280
which you plug into the HDMI output of whatever.

00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:43.240
It will stream directly 60 gigahertz millimeter wave

00:01:43.240 --> 00:01:47.360
wireless spectrum to this device. Let's take a look at the device itself.

00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:50.920
It is, you know, vaguely switched like.

00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:55.360
It's got some vents on the top here and slideable controllers.

00:01:55.360 --> 00:01:58.640
I believe that they slide off in the same way that Joy-Cons do.

00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:02.560
So it's a little bigger than a switch. I believe that this is a seven inch display.

00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:07.200
I believe they said that the side rails are compatible with Joy-Cons.

00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:11.560
We're gonna confirm that right here. Oh, look at that. On the top, we have a power button.

00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:15.240
We have a check mark button that I'm not sure what that does. Maybe we'll find out later.

00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:18.520
A plus and minus button, probably volume.

00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:24.880
We've got a headphone jack, very nice. And a USB-C port that looks like it's probably power.

00:02:24.880 --> 00:02:28.360
On the back, is this something? I don't know.

00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:33.160
We've got the rails for the controllers, as I mentioned, on the bottom speakers, I guess,

00:02:33.160 --> 00:02:37.460
two speakers on either side. I haven't seen another variant of the controllers

00:02:37.460 --> 00:02:43.420
other than this like kind of retro, you know, see-through design, which is fricking sweet.

00:02:43.420 --> 00:02:45.520
Let's slide them on here and see how it feels.

00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:52.260
We got our joy sticks. We got our ABXY, just like the switch.

00:02:52.260 --> 00:02:57.620
We got a plus and minus button here, just like the switch. D-pad, a T button.

00:02:57.620 --> 00:03:00.720
Oh, turns out the check mark button on the top

00:03:00.720 --> 00:03:04.140
is a enter slash menu button.

00:03:04.140 --> 00:03:08.060
There's another button there. I mean, it's a circle in a square.

00:03:08.060 --> 00:03:12.060
Over here, we got a home, a house home button,

00:03:12.060 --> 00:03:16.140
and oh, another T button. And then, of course, we got the bumpers and the triggers.

00:03:16.140 --> 00:03:19.940
Okay, what else is in the package?

00:03:19.940 --> 00:03:23.020
We got a USB power adapter, USB-C power adapter.

00:03:24.260 --> 00:03:29.260
Okay, we have a USB-C cord, five feet or so,

00:03:29.660 --> 00:03:33.060
using my objective measure. We don't need the lab.

00:03:33.060 --> 00:03:36.260
And there are USB-C ports on the bottom

00:03:36.260 --> 00:03:40.220
of each one of the controllers, I guess, to charge.

00:03:40.220 --> 00:03:44.560
There's no physical connector on the rail because, as we'll see in a moment,

00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:48.620
these controllers actually don't connect to this thing.

00:03:48.620 --> 00:03:55.740
They connect to the thing that's playing the game. We'll get into it. We also have a USB-A dongle,

00:03:55.740 --> 00:04:00.580
which is the Bluetooth adapter for the controller.

00:04:00.580 --> 00:04:03.700
Next up, we have the HDMI dongle.

00:04:03.700 --> 00:04:07.620
We got the HDMI connector here. We got a five-volt USB-C connector.

00:04:07.620 --> 00:04:12.940
I believe that is for the USB-A cable that's going to also go into the system.

00:04:12.940 --> 00:04:17.340
We'll find out. There's a button on the back, which I guess is for pairing, maybe.

00:04:17.380 --> 00:04:22.140
And then we have the USB-A to USB-C power cable.

00:04:22.140 --> 00:04:26.140
The device also comes with a screen protector, and this patch is the thing that helps you

00:04:26.140 --> 00:04:29.940
install the screen protector without having lint and crap and bubbles on your screen.

00:04:29.940 --> 00:04:33.620
Speaking of which, I haven't peeled the thing that I'm supposed to peel off this,

00:04:33.620 --> 00:04:36.300
so we're all learning things today.

00:04:39.020 --> 00:04:42.860
Also, I didn't even mention, it's nice that it comes with this, it's like travel case,

00:04:42.860 --> 00:04:46.740
and with a zipper pocket and everything, and a doohickey to hold things in place.

00:04:47.540 --> 00:04:51.460
Delicious. Real quick, let's find out how much it weighs.

00:04:51.460 --> 00:04:57.500
558 grams. Yeah, they say it's 380 grams without the controllers.

00:04:58.420 --> 00:05:01.500
423. HDMI.

00:05:01.500 --> 00:05:05.300
Uh-oh, are we gonna, is it gonna fit next to the power adapter?

00:05:05.300 --> 00:05:09.820
Yes. The USB-C goes here,

00:05:10.780 --> 00:05:15.020
and then the A-end goes into an A port,

00:05:15.020 --> 00:05:19.220
USB-A port. Setting up a device. Something's happening.

00:05:19.220 --> 00:05:23.540
Multi-touch V5000 is ready to go.

00:05:23.540 --> 00:05:28.180
Is this the pairing button, or? If that's a button, it is not really responding.

00:05:28.180 --> 00:05:32.660
First, let's try turning this thing on. Oh, it's already transmitting.

00:05:32.660 --> 00:05:36.700
I didn't even have to do anything else, although this is not right.

00:05:36.700 --> 00:05:39.980
Because this is the same tech used by 5G,

00:05:39.980 --> 00:05:46.660
you know, millimeter wave wireless spectrum, it basically needs line of sight to the transmitter.

00:05:46.660 --> 00:05:50.860
So even this situation where we had the laptop here,

00:05:50.860 --> 00:05:54.620
there's the transmitter, and I put this down with the controllers,

00:05:54.620 --> 00:05:58.100
I had it resting on the table like that, it'll break.

00:05:58.100 --> 00:06:03.100
However, if you hold it in an orientation where the antenna basically line of sight

00:06:03.100 --> 00:06:07.900
with the peak-dough logo on the transmitter, that's where the antenna is in the HDMI dongle.

00:06:07.900 --> 00:06:10.980
Then, Bob's your uncle. It is very responsive,

00:06:10.980 --> 00:06:15.300
which is the whole reason why you wanna use a product like this, is this ultra-low latency.

00:06:15.300 --> 00:06:20.300
When you use cloud streaming, you can take a streaming device into another room,

00:06:20.300 --> 00:06:23.780
lay on your bed, and play your games. You can't do this with this

00:06:23.780 --> 00:06:27.420
unless your PC will be in line of sight, so.

00:06:27.420 --> 00:06:31.420
The next step of the process is connecting the controllers.

00:06:33.260 --> 00:06:36.400
These are connected to the PC. Slide them in.

00:06:36.400 --> 00:06:42.820
Oh, I just covered the antenna, it's gone. Oh, touch control works.

00:06:42.820 --> 00:06:45.940
The USB cable that's plugged into the wireless transmitter

00:06:45.940 --> 00:06:49.460
here is not just to power the HDMI transmitter,

00:06:49.460 --> 00:06:53.620
I can send touch control information through the HDMI,

00:06:53.620 --> 00:06:56.660
which then gets sent to the, well, to the dongle,

00:06:56.660 --> 00:07:01.700
which gets sent into the PC via the USB. Here we are in the game.

00:07:01.700 --> 00:07:05.340
I got line of sight and the Joy-Cons are working.

00:07:05.380 --> 00:07:09.980
This is 1920 by 1200 here, and this is 1920 by 1080.

00:07:09.980 --> 00:07:13.820
So we got some black bars on the side here. I'm sure we could like, you know,

00:07:13.820 --> 00:07:16.820
have the black bars here instead of here if we want to,

00:07:16.820 --> 00:07:22.180
but you know, I'm just happy to be here. Also this yellow border is because we're screen recording

00:07:22.180 --> 00:07:26.300
the laptop with OBS. Obviously with any wireless streaming solution,

00:07:26.300 --> 00:07:30.380
you're going to have like a little bit of latency, but I'm actually, you know,

00:07:30.380 --> 00:07:33.580
I'm a little disappointed to see that the latency

00:07:33.620 --> 00:07:39.780
between me moving the controller and seeing how that changes is, it's very noticeable.

00:07:39.780 --> 00:07:45.020
The reason why there might be this latency still, despite using this fancy, fancy 60 Hertz millimeter wave tech,

00:07:45.020 --> 00:07:48.820
is because these are regular Bluetooth connection for the controllers, which is going to the computer,

00:07:48.820 --> 00:07:51.860
and then it's sending that information back over the 60 Hertz connection.

00:07:51.860 --> 00:07:55.380
I can verify that that is why, I think,

00:07:55.380 --> 00:07:58.500
because when I use the trackpad, it's almost one to one.

00:07:58.500 --> 00:08:04.580
There's almost no latency, see? If you connected a wired controller to your PC,

00:08:04.580 --> 00:08:07.660
you would have zero latency. If you had like a really long USB cord, maybe.

00:08:07.660 --> 00:08:10.780
Am I just not used to controller FPS?

00:08:10.780 --> 00:08:14.140
Like come try this. Just move your view back and forth

00:08:14.140 --> 00:08:17.460
and like tell me if that's normal. This feels totally fine.

00:08:17.460 --> 00:08:20.540
Does it feel like I'm at a disadvantage or like my input is not real?

00:08:20.540 --> 00:08:25.660
I feel like I'm at a disadvantage. I feel like this is totally what gaming feels like.

00:08:25.660 --> 00:08:29.740
Okay, so to Jake's point, I don't usually play with wireless controllers.

00:08:29.740 --> 00:08:33.020
Now, I will say as someone who regularly plays games

00:08:33.020 --> 00:08:40.460
streaming, I beat all of Jedi Survivor just streaming from my work PC to my I and EO.

00:08:40.460 --> 00:08:43.860
I will say that this latency is more than acceptable.

00:08:43.860 --> 00:08:48.780
Like it's super playable. I could easily play this entire game

00:08:48.780 --> 00:08:53.820
with this amount of latency. It is just given the claims made by this product.

00:08:53.820 --> 00:08:57.540
You say you have zero latency, I'm gonna give you a bit of a hard time. Is that okay?

00:08:57.540 --> 00:09:01.460
Geez. What? Oh, it's a decoy.

00:09:01.460 --> 00:09:07.340
It's been so long since I played this game. So as I'm dying here, everything looks nice and sharp.

00:09:07.340 --> 00:09:12.100
There's a 1080p display, 60 Hertz. And it doesn't seem to have any trouble, you know,

00:09:12.100 --> 00:09:15.580
transmitting. I'm not seeing almost zero visual artifacts.

00:09:15.580 --> 00:09:20.340
So like the quality of, you know, the streaming experience here is great.

00:09:20.340 --> 00:09:23.860
This device cannot just be used with PC. You can use it with consoles

00:09:23.860 --> 00:09:28.460
or basically anything that has an HDMI port. It's a wireless display.

00:09:28.500 --> 00:09:32.220
You can stream your console games. And we have a switch here.

00:09:32.220 --> 00:09:36.060
I'm gonna try it out real quick. So it's plugged in. It's powered by the USB cord.

00:09:36.060 --> 00:09:40.620
And we're getting a image on the display.

00:09:40.620 --> 00:09:45.700
As I said earlier, these rails are actually compatible with the Joy-Cons.

00:09:45.700 --> 00:09:49.020
So you can just slide the Joy-Cons right onto this thing

00:09:49.020 --> 00:09:52.760
that also looks exactly like a switch. Why would you wanna do that?

00:09:52.760 --> 00:09:57.340
Oh, because when the switch is plugged into the dock, it outputs full 1080p handheld.

00:09:57.380 --> 00:10:02.380
It's 720p only. How would you connect the controllers to your console?

00:10:02.380 --> 00:10:06.140
For the switch at least, you don't actually need the Bluetooth dongle.

00:10:06.140 --> 00:10:11.460
These will connect directly to the switch. I think because they have the Joy-Con hardware ID.

00:10:11.460 --> 00:10:15.900
Now I'm going to put them on the peak dough

00:10:15.900 --> 00:10:19.260
and I am now using it wirelessly

00:10:19.260 --> 00:10:21.300
with the third party controllers.

00:10:25.540 --> 00:10:29.260
Latencies over the Bluetooth connection with the controller seems about the same.

00:10:29.260 --> 00:10:33.180
We're playing audio over the speakers and just to see how they sound in it.

00:10:36.700 --> 00:10:40.580
It's not amazing. Ah, however, there is a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack.

00:10:40.580 --> 00:10:41.940
So you can use that instead.

00:10:44.060 --> 00:10:48.140
Oh, we countered. Wow. Well, the experience here is great.

00:10:48.140 --> 00:10:51.220
I wouldn't buy this specifically for switch stuff,

00:10:51.220 --> 00:10:55.940
but I mean, it's cool to see that you can do this whole like 1080p handheld thing.

00:10:55.980 --> 00:10:59.020
The seven inch version is $350.

00:10:59.020 --> 00:11:00.460
The 11 inch version.

00:11:07.300 --> 00:11:12.260
It is less bright. So this seven inch has a max brightness of 500 nits

00:11:12.260 --> 00:11:17.740
and the 11 inch has 300 nits. The question is, is $350 worth it

00:11:17.740 --> 00:11:21.700
for a device that doesn't have an internal processor?

00:11:21.700 --> 00:11:25.300
It has a lot of limitations. You have to connect your controllers

00:11:25.300 --> 00:11:30.020
to the device that you're streaming from instead of just having one solution.

00:11:30.020 --> 00:11:33.620
Another limitation is the fact that you have to be in line of sight.

00:11:33.620 --> 00:11:37.300
However, the latency, at least for the visuals streaming

00:11:37.300 --> 00:11:40.780
is very, very, very low. The consumer that they're targeting

00:11:40.780 --> 00:11:44.540
appears to be someone who has a PC or a console

00:11:44.540 --> 00:11:47.540
in the same room as the place

00:11:47.540 --> 00:11:52.100
where they want to stream it to wirelessly. They have a TV and they're with their partner

00:11:52.140 --> 00:11:55.300
or the friend and they want to either watch something

00:11:55.300 --> 00:11:59.340
and play something at the same time. You can have shoulder to shoulder time

00:11:59.340 --> 00:12:03.220
with your significant other while also ignoring each other.

00:12:03.220 --> 00:12:07.740
I've done it. It's also a wireless display. You know, maybe you wouldn't use the seven inch one

00:12:07.740 --> 00:12:12.540
for this, but I could see using the 11 inches sort of like a secondary display for a laptop.

00:12:12.540 --> 00:12:16.140
There's options, but it is really hard for me

00:12:16.140 --> 00:12:19.860
to wrap my head around the fact that like someone would buy this

00:12:19.860 --> 00:12:23.760
instead of spending like a bit more and getting something like a steam deck,

00:12:23.760 --> 00:12:26.940
but that's gonna be up to you. A lot of things that I've been saying today
