00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,640
on paper the 8bit do ultimate Mobile gaming controller seems to have pretty

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:10,160
much everything going for it a refined

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:15,080
dpad and shoulder buttons a metal reinforced joystick with hall effect

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:19,320
sensors and software adjustments for better Precision hall effect triggers

5
00:00:17,439 --> 00:00:23,800
with the same adjustments so that you can either have them activate when you

6
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:29,039
press them deeply or as more of a hair trigger adjustability so you can fit

7
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:33,520
pretty much any device in it up to 170 mm in length and look at that they've

8
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:38,600
even got a couple of remappable pro paddle buttons on the back even the feel

9
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:43,079
is really good reminding me more of like a desktop game controller than of a

10
00:00:40,719 --> 00:00:47,960
mobile one there's only one small problem my

11
00:00:45,079 --> 00:00:51,920
iPhone doesn't work in it there must be a good reason for this maybe the fact

12
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:55,160
that it doesn't have a USBC cable integrated for pass through charging and

13
00:00:53,600 --> 00:01:00,399
instead relies on Bluetooth for the connection whatever the reason is it is

14
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:03,600
compatible with Android only and that

15
00:01:00,399 --> 00:01:05,960
support Android 99 or later but we do

16
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:10,479
get one thing in return an extremely reasonable $50 price which is about $30

17
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:14,920
less than the comparable that we have from gamster and about half the price of

18
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:20,159
a backbone one let's see what else comes in the Box though before we go any

19
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:21,920
further the answer is not much you get a

20
00:01:20,159 --> 00:01:29,119
nice little manual thank you very much for that 8 bit do and a USB 8 Toc cable

21
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:30,400
W basically only that see you later all

22
00:01:29,119 --> 00:01:38,240
right let's give this thing a shot shall we oh after we tell you about our sponsor drop drop's drop plus gr o ae1

23
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:42,200
headphones aim to improve on the original Pair by moving the drivers

24
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:47,119
around with the goal of using the ears natural structure for a more natural and

25
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:50,640
realistic sound field it also has a few minor quality of life tweaks that take

26
00:01:48,799 --> 00:01:56,039
it to the next level like a lighter clamping force and a single-sided cable

27
00:01:53,520 --> 00:02:00,159
the best thing is that it's now $100 less than the previous model so go click

28
00:01:58,439 --> 00:02:05,520
the link in the video description to learn how you can get your own pair of

29
00:02:02,039 --> 00:02:08,759
drop's new drop plus gr 081

30
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:11,440
headphones joysticks feel pretty good

31
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:14,879
man actually surprisingly close to full desktop joysticks these are just about

32
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:20,920
the size of they seem a little smaller do we have an Xbox controller handy oh

33
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:22,840
man no it is the only difference between

34
00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:29,280
This and like a full fat desktop joystick is that the profile is ever so

35
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:34,840
slightly lower you can barely even make it out on camera the shoulder buttons

36
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:36,840
have a really nice click hear that sound

37
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:43,319
but they're a little on the heavy side and they actuate right at the very top

38
00:02:39,879 --> 00:02:46,319
and then they Mash down like this far so

39
00:02:43,319 --> 00:02:49,200
they end up feeling a little bit mushy

40
00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:53,959
stick pushes feel about as standard as they could possibly be so L3 and

41
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:58,319
R3 and then these paddles on the back are something that as an older gamer

42
00:02:55,959 --> 00:03:03,920
I've never really gotten used to using but they feel fine I suppose yeah

43
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,680
everything else here seems pretty bog standard are the face buttons the same

44
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:11,640
size as desktop it looks like they're a little smaller yeah they're touch

45
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:15,799
smaller but the actual layout looks about the same size so I sincerely doubt

46
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:21,519
that's going to bother anybody and they feel good okay let's pair this is a bit

47
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,959
of a hassle aside from not being able to charge your phone through your

48
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:31,000
controller while you're gaming just having to pair it every time you want to use it like not a huge deal Bluetooth is

49
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:34,920
relatively good these days but I don't know is it worth paying an extra

50
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:39,439
30 bucks I'll leave that up to you guys okay are we in pairing mode man there's

51
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:44,640
a little led oh that's the charging LED I was expecting this to light up when I

52
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:46,519
did no no no that's the one okay H turbo

53
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:51,080
mode hold the button you would like to assign turbo functionality to then press

54
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:55,519
the turbo button to enable turbo mode Auto turbo mode built in 300 Milah

55
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:58,239
battery with 15 hours Play Time charging time of 1 hour that's weird that

56
00:03:56,959 --> 00:04:03,879
conflicts with my notes at say an hour and a half but whatever the point is that you'll be plugging it in for a

57
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:08,120
little while to charge and wow that is it for instructions other than hey go to

58
00:04:05,879 --> 00:04:13,640
8bit do.com to access the Ultimate Software V2 mobile version what should

59
00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:17,680
we start with this is Shredder's revenge right one slight oversight with the

60
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:22,919
number of Android phones that have their speaker firing out the bottom I'd love

61
00:04:20,479 --> 00:04:27,520
to have seen like a little concave shape in the housing here you know here here

62
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:32,720
here and here to kind of like route that sound towards your ear holes I mean me

63
00:04:29,919 --> 00:04:36,280
minor things maybe next version V2 V2 catch it in V2 remember how I said that

64
00:04:35,039 --> 00:04:41,120
I thought that this joystick was going to interfere a little bit with the ABX y

65
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:44,000
well it does you can see my thumbs like right on it like if you have bigger

66
00:04:42,639 --> 00:04:47,759
fingers and you're kind of coming in at these from the top then I doubt it's

67
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:52,240
going to be a problem for you but I can't say I'm a huge

68
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:57,600
fan no but you know what is yes the fact

69
00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:01,919
that absolutely nothing that's going badly has anything to do with my

70
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:07,479
controller I just am this bad at the game wow I'm dead already I really like

71
00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:10,440
this obviously you're going to get a little bit of extra latency when you're

72
00:05:08,919 --> 00:05:13,759
connecting via Bluetooth rather than with a wire but realistically for mobile

73
00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:20,520
gaming that's something you're just going to have to deal with most of the time anyway and there was nothing else

74
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:25,759
about it that stood out to me as bad or insufficient I'd say if I had to nitpick

75
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:30,360
I'm noticing that my device is lifting up a little bit from just sort of you

76
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:34,160
know using it and moving around and kind of getting into the game it's kind of

77
00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:38,720
popping up a little bit on this side but I doubt that it would manage to come up

78
00:05:36,039 --> 00:05:43,560
enough that it would manage to slip free and if it did it's pretty quick to pop

79
00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:50,880
it back down uh let's try let's try Crazy Taxi okay where's my backbone oh

80
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:53,400
dude the ergonomics compared to the

81
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:58,880
backbone night and day like I don't think I even need to

82
00:05:56,479 --> 00:06:02,039
tell you guys obviously the backbone's going to fit in into your bag a little

83
00:06:00,479 --> 00:06:06,039
bit better right it's got a 3 and half mm Jack so you can plug your headphones

84
00:06:03,919 --> 00:06:10,479
into it that's pretty cool it works with the iPhone it's definitely got the 8bit

85
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:15,759
dough controller beat when it comes to Features but in terms of the feel of the

86
00:06:13,319 --> 00:06:19,440
joysticks in terms of the layout in terms of the ergonomics it's not even

87
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:23,440
close I wish there was a device that had everything both of them had uh maybe the

88
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:29,759
gamer is the middle ground here your gamer yeah this has got way more desktop

89
00:06:26,199 --> 00:06:31,199
like ergonomics same buttons all o

90
00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:36,560
desktop grade joysticks and it does have device oh no

91
00:06:34,479 --> 00:06:40,759
it does not have device charging pass through this one doesn't have it either

92
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:45,080
oh man yeah so you're stuck with Bluetooth here too you can put a tablet

93
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:50,280
in this thing though and the game Star is compatible with Apple devices it also

94
00:06:47,919 --> 00:06:54,720
has Hall joysticks and triggers and it has a gyro so you can use gyroscopic aim

95
00:06:52,840 --> 00:06:58,720
assist that's a pretty good option but it's not what we're making a video about

96
00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:01,840
today enter your age I don't want to I wasn't really a crazy taxi kid I didn't

97
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:05,759
have a game console at this time in my life but what I can tell you guys even

98
00:07:03,759 --> 00:07:12,599
though I'm not very good at this game is that these joysticks are freaking

99
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:16,400
awesome I love them nice sensitivity no

100
00:07:12,599 --> 00:07:18,319
overly large dead zones I am into this I

101
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:21,960
assure you that any deficiency in my driving skill is everything to do with

102
00:07:19,879 --> 00:07:27,319
my driving and nothing to do with these joysticks ah small dead zones they do

103
00:07:24,879 --> 00:07:31,520
have dead zones not zero dead zones but not ridiculous dead zones either why

104
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:38,919
don't we try the 8bit do out Ultimate Software this is the Ultimate Software

105
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:41,400
of ultimate Destiny well

106
00:07:38,919 --> 00:07:45,000
um well what the software is supposed to do is allow you to adjust the triggers

107
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:48,280
like I said before allow you to adjust the sticks like I said before and also

108
00:07:47,039 --> 00:07:53,280
adjust your button mapping which I haven't said before but right now

109
00:07:50,599 --> 00:08:00,120
because it's pre-release or beta or something it appears to do nothing blah

110
00:07:56,479 --> 00:08:02,400
blah blah blah blah okay oh oh do I need

111
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:06,879
to do all the like button mapping nonsense oh wait if I don't have their

112
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:10,800
app is this even going to work how do games like this not just support

113
00:08:08,919 --> 00:08:14,520
connected controllers by default it's kind of mind-blowing to me

114
00:08:13,199 --> 00:08:20,280
that this isn't just plug andplay at this point like I I get it if you're an experienced mobile gamer you probably

115
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:25,440
have a software that you really like for mapping this stuff and all that which is

116
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:28,240
which is cool but it should probably

117
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:32,360
just work at this point well that's annoying hopefully that's something that

118
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:36,440
they can get sorted out because this is very much not working

119
00:08:34,719 --> 00:08:40,120
right now this is actually a really good thing to talk about because regardless

120
00:08:38,279 --> 00:08:45,320
of which one of these style controllers you buy compatibility issues and

121
00:08:42,719 --> 00:08:51,000
configuration can be a bit of a pain in the butt to deal with in theory this is

122
00:08:48,839 --> 00:08:55,920
every bit as good a gaming experience as a dedicated handheld like a you know a

123
00:08:53,120 --> 00:09:00,600
switch light or whatever but in practice man it can be a bit of a chore you know

124
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:03,560
like okay here's an annoying thing oh okay well I didn't put my phone in the

125
00:09:02,079 --> 00:09:09,480
way that it wants me to put my phone in so now I got to do this you know it's

126
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,480
just little things like

127
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:17,640
that okay yeah well on that note good

128
00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:20,640
luck everybody subscribe to ShortCircuit
