welcome to my unboxing of a pretty sweet
0:10
product this is a cheap and I'm not even going to mince words this is a cheap
0:15
USB gam pad that happens to look exactly
0:20
like an SNES Gamepad so if you play any emulators or if you play games on any
0:24
emulators like say for example if you have the physical cartridges in your
0:29
possession and like your SNES doesn't work so you download the ROM of that
0:33
particular one or like you recover it somehow with like whatever you legally
0:38
own the ROM only uh so if you play games
0:41
on emulators legally then you might get one of these because it plugs into your
0:45
PC via USB it has a d-pad select start r
0:50
y LX A and B opening it up now there is
0:55
nothing inside the box so it is driverless which means you basically
1:00
plug the thing into the thing and run the thing and here we go so I'm going to go
1:06
ahead and uh you know I'm going to you know be fairly critical as much as I can
1:12
here so the USB length is about a Linus
1:15
armspan which means well it's a little bit more which means it's about 6 ft
1:18
long okay there's your standard USB 2 connector all right the overall feel of
1:24
it is not is not quite right you know the buttons don't have quite the same
1:29
awesome that the original SNES controller does so I mean you still have
1:34
to gut an SNES controller if you really want it to feel like the the real thing
1:38
but the ergonomics are good the the buttons are all in the
1:43
right place and I think this is fairly
1:47
self-explanatory so it's a cheap
1:50
SNES connector or not connector no there's no SNES connector it's a cheap
1:55
SNES controller that has a USB connector that you can use to play your legit SNES
2:01
ROMs and thank you for checking out this
2:04
unboxing and you know what let's find out exactly how driverless it is here we
2:07
go let's plug it into a test bench here or not a test bench this is the video
2:12
editing PC here in the tech tips
2:19
laboratory okay here we go oh that's my
2:22
email you guys don't need that uh then
2:25
we've got control panel here we go it's detecting two ACC 11 Keys gam pad that
2:31
is about as generic as a description
2:34
could possibly be so uh here we go
2:38
hardware and sound oh man I hate the way they've
2:42
rearranged this okay let's try this uh
2:46
oh you know what let's go with game really oh oh oh brilliant so this
2:52
picture is pretty yeah explanatory set up ah
2:56
properties here we go let's see if it works up right left
3:00
or rather right down left okay this all works so I can finally enter uh sabines
3:06
or Sabin however you pronounce his name his blitzes properly cuz I'm using a
3:10
Logitech Gamepad now that really doesn't allow me to do that so then we've got
3:13
button 3 4 1 2 5 6 9
3:20
10 what what other ones are there 1 2 3
3:23
4 5 6 7 eight there are eight how is this an 11 button game pad you know what
3:27
I guess there's more solder points inside so there you go guys if you wanted to add like an extraneous like
3:33
you know chukin button or something like that then you would be able to do that
3:37
potentially so thank you for checking out this unboxing don't forget to
