00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.640
on paper the 8bit do ultimate Mobile gaming controller seems to have pretty

00:00:04.040 --> 00:00:10.160
much everything going for it a refined

00:00:07.640 --> 00:00:15.080
dpad and shoulder buttons a metal reinforced joystick with hall effect

00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:19.320
sensors and software adjustments for better Precision hall effect triggers

00:00:17.439 --> 00:00:23.800
with the same adjustments so that you can either have them activate when you

00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:29.039
press them deeply or as more of a hair trigger adjustability so you can fit

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

00:00:31.240 --> 00:00:38.600
even got a couple of remappable pro paddle buttons on the back even the feel

00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:43.079
is really good reminding me more of like a desktop game controller than of a

00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:47.960
mobile one there's only one small problem my

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

00:00:49.800 --> 00:00:55.160
that it doesn't have a USBC cable integrated for pass through charging and

00:00:53.600 --> 00:01:00.399
instead relies on Bluetooth for the connection whatever the reason is it is

00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:03.600
compatible with Android only and that

00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:05.960
support Android 99 or later but we do

00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:10.479
get one thing in return an extremely reasonable $50 price which is about $30

00:01:09.240 --> 00:01:14.920
less than the comparable that we have from gamster and about half the price of

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

00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:21.920
further the answer is not much you get a

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

00:01:24.880 --> 00:01:30.400
W basically only that see you later all

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

00:01:36.600 --> 00:01:42.200
headphones aim to improve on the original Pair by moving the drivers

00:01:40.360 --> 00:01:47.119
around with the goal of using the ears natural structure for a more natural and

00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:50.640
realistic sound field it also has a few minor quality of life tweaks that take

00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:56.039
it to the next level like a lighter clamping force and a single-sided cable

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

00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:05.520
the link in the video description to learn how you can get your own pair of

00:02:02.039 --> 00:02:08.759
drop's new drop plus gr 081

00:02:05.520 --> 00:02:11.440
headphones joysticks feel pretty good

00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:14.879
man actually surprisingly close to full desktop joysticks these are just about

00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:20.920
the size of they seem a little smaller do we have an Xbox controller handy oh

00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:22.840
man no it is the only difference between

00:02:20.920 --> 00:02:29.280
This and like a full fat desktop joystick is that the profile is ever so

00:02:26.760 --> 00:02:34.840
slightly lower you can barely even make it out on camera the shoulder buttons

00:02:31.720 --> 00:02:36.840
have a really nice click hear that sound

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

00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:46.319
and then they Mash down like this far so

00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:49.200
they end up feeling a little bit mushy

00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:53.959
stick pushes feel about as standard as they could possibly be so L3 and

00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:58.319
R3 and then these paddles on the back are something that as an older gamer

00:02:55.959 --> 00:03:03.920
I've never really gotten used to using but they feel fine I suppose yeah

00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:06.680
everything else here seems pretty bog standard are the face buttons the same

00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:11.640
size as desktop it looks like they're a little smaller yeah they're touch

00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:15.799
smaller but the actual layout looks about the same size so I sincerely doubt

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

00:03:19.200 --> 00:03:23.959
of a hassle aside from not being able to charge your phone through your

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

00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:34.920
relatively good these days but I don't know is it worth paying an extra

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

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

00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:46.519
did no no no that's the one okay H turbo

00:03:44.640 --> 00:03:51.080
mode hold the button you would like to assign turbo functionality to then press

00:03:48.480 --> 00:03:55.519
the turbo button to enable turbo mode Auto turbo mode built in 300 Milah

00:03:53.760 --> 00:03:58.239
battery with 15 hours Play Time charging time of 1 hour that's weird that

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

00:04:00.920 --> 00:04:08.120
little while to charge and wow that is it for instructions other than hey go to

00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:13.640
8bit do.com to access the Ultimate Software V2 mobile version what should

00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:17.680
we start with this is Shredder's revenge right one slight oversight with the

00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:22.919
number of Android phones that have their speaker firing out the bottom I'd love

00:04:20.479 --> 00:04:27.520
to have seen like a little concave shape in the housing here you know here here

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

00:04:29.919 --> 00:04:36.280
minor things maybe next version V2 V2 catch it in V2 remember how I said that

00:04:35.039 --> 00:04:41.120
I thought that this joystick was going to interfere a little bit with the ABX y

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

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

00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:52.240
going to be a problem for you but I can't say I'm a huge

00:04:50.520 --> 00:04:57.600
fan no but you know what is yes the fact

00:04:55.520 --> 00:05:01.919
that absolutely nothing that's going badly has anything to do with my

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

00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:10.440
this obviously you're going to get a little bit of extra latency when you're

00:05:08.919 --> 00:05:13.759
connecting via Bluetooth rather than with a wire but realistically for mobile

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:53.400
dude the ergonomics compared to the

00:05:50.880 --> 00:05:58.880
backbone night and day like I don't think I even need to

00:05:56.479 --> 00:06:02.039
tell you guys obviously the backbone's going to fit in into your bag a little

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

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

00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:15.759
dough controller beat when it comes to Features but in terms of the feel of the

00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:19.440
joysticks in terms of the layout in terms of the ergonomics it's not even

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

00:06:21.520 --> 00:06:29.759
gamer is the middle ground here your gamer yeah this has got way more desktop

00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:31.199
like ergonomics same buttons all o

00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:36.560
desktop grade joysticks and it does have device oh no

00:06:34.479 --> 00:06:40.759
it does not have device charging pass through this one doesn't have it either

00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:45.080
oh man yeah so you're stuck with Bluetooth here too you can put a tablet

00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:50.280
in this thing though and the game Star is compatible with Apple devices it also

00:06:47.919 --> 00:06:54.720
has Hall joysticks and triggers and it has a gyro so you can use gyroscopic aim

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

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

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

00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:12.599
though I'm not very good at this game is that these joysticks are freaking

00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:16.400
awesome I love them nice sensitivity no

00:07:12.599 --> 00:07:18.319
overly large dead zones I am into this I

00:07:16.400 --> 00:07:21.960
assure you that any deficiency in my driving skill is everything to do with

00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:27.319
my driving and nothing to do with these joysticks ah small dead zones they do

00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:31.520
have dead zones not zero dead zones but not ridiculous dead zones either why

00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:38.919
don't we try the 8bit do out Ultimate Software this is the Ultimate Software

00:07:35.080 --> 00:07:41.400
of ultimate Destiny well

00:07:38.919 --> 00:07:45.000
um well what the software is supposed to do is allow you to adjust the triggers

00:07:43.400 --> 00:07:48.280
like I said before allow you to adjust the sticks like I said before and also

00:07:47.039 --> 00:07:53.280
adjust your button mapping which I haven't said before but right now

00:07:50.599 --> 00:08:00.120
because it's pre-release or beta or something it appears to do nothing blah

00:07:56.479 --> 00:08:02.400
blah blah blah blah okay oh oh do I need

00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:06.879
to do all the like button mapping nonsense oh wait if I don't have their

00:08:04.280 --> 00:08:10.800
app is this even going to work how do games like this not just support

00:08:08.919 --> 00:08:14.520
connected controllers by default it's kind of mind-blowing to me

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

00:08:18.280 --> 00:08:25.440
have a software that you really like for mapping this stuff and all that which is

00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:28.240
which is cool but it should probably

00:08:25.440 --> 00:08:32.360
just work at this point well that's annoying hopefully that's something that

00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:36.440
they can get sorted out because this is very much not working

00:08:34.719 --> 00:08:40.120
right now this is actually a really good thing to talk about because regardless

00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:45.320
of which one of these style controllers you buy compatibility issues and

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

00:08:48.839 --> 00:08:55.920
every bit as good a gaming experience as a dedicated handheld like a you know a

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

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

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

00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:09.480
just little things like

00:09:11.040 --> 00:09:17.640
that okay yeah well on that note good

00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:20.640
luck everybody subscribe to ShortCircuit
