I had $50 and could get like a Fire tablet. Whoa, hey. Update on this guy. It has now magically jumped up to 19MB per second on the transfer. We're actually is it working or did it just like fail over into the fake version where it's deleting my old files? Now I'm suddenly getting a little bit uncomfortable with the idea that I just plugged a random microSD card into my computer. Maybe I shouldn't have done that. That coulda been a really bad idea, actually.

I mean, it's a Huawei one, so what's the - (laughs) - What's the harm in that? That frame rate is really not good. But 480p, come on man! Is that the best you can do in 480p? That ain't it. So not great for video. It sounds bad and it runs videos at like, 12 frames per second. Uh, maybe just buy a Fire HD 7, or anything else. I bet you could get a used iPad for about this price.

Oh yeah, you probably can. Oh. That looks much less terrible. So this is our fake PSP. So there are a lot of these kinda like, fake systems around, but I've actually never really tried any of them, really. Oh dude, it's like, supposed to be a mini Vita. It even has all, like, the little triangles and stuff on the back. Whoa. It's very exciting when you launch it. Wait, is this just a bunch of ROMs? I have Super Mario, Contra, Street Fighter, Crash Bandicoot. Wait. Is this thing legit just, like, an emulator?

Yo, dude, it's actually Super Mario. Okay, this emulation's, uh, oh my god. (laughs) Dude. It's like a half-second delay when I press something. I mean, this is legit, though! Wait, wait, wait. I'm trying to play Mario right now, what are you doing, throwing a Game Boy at me? Wait. Hold on. I'm enjoying Mario, man. What? Wait, dude, this is not bad. I mean, it's still weird, but I can't believe this is not hot garbage, man.

What? Wait, wait, dude, this is not bad. I mean, it's still weird, but. Oh wait, what buttons do I actually have on the Game Boy? Just A and B, right? (laughs) Stay back. Stay back. (laughs)(laughs)

It's so mushy! Come on! Come on! Yes! Also, I just pulled my mic off. I wanna keep playing with this. But wait, hang on, what's 401 Game Boy thing? Ooh. You know what? Yo, that's actually not bad. All right. 401. So we have Super Mario, this thing is just loaded with ROMs. It's just loaded with ROMs.

What is this?! Pikachu. What is that?! Wait, what? Wait, is this just - (laughs) - is this Dr. Mario? I mean, it's like Tetris, but wasn't it, I never played Dr. Mario, but wasn't it kinda similar to this?

Yeah. All right, there's definitely a lot of doubles in here. Like, they're primarily doubles. Why am I small? Do you see this? I'm too, dude, I'm too small to jump! (laughs) How do you mess up Mario, man? What the actual, what is this?

What? What? (laughing hysterically) Oh, now you gotta play it. Mario has throwing stars?! Also, it runs like eight frames per second. Yikes. Oh my God, dude, what is this? (laughing) What is this?!

All right, why is my screen flickering? Wait, I think I lost my screen brightness. Can you see that flickering? I think I just lost my backlight. We got, like, five minutes out of Super Mario 14 before it was lost to the sands of time. Look, look, look how bad it is now! (laughs) My screen's dead!

All that's really left to do now is to see if this sketchball microSD card actually worked. So I come over to USB drive. I mean, this actually looks like it might have transferred? I just literally copied over Fortnite. 33GB. I mean, this works. It definitely works. I dunno if it'll actually fill up, and it's kinda slow, but the microSD card is decent.

Sadly, the Game Boy had the most promise and died after like three minutes. I mean, who knows? The Legend of Mario 14 may never be fully discovered. (laughs)

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en- Wow.That's much better than whatyou usually throw on the table.Hello and welcome to a veryspecial edition of Mystery Tech,featuring money, because yes,I actually get to buymy own things this time.Thanks, Ken.The rules are very simple.I have a $200 budget to order thingsfrom a little site called Wish.Now, a little stipulationis I have to use this blitz-buy thing,so as soon as I hit this button,a 10-minute timer will start.How many items to I get?20, okay.All right, I've unlocked 20 products.Let's see what we got.Well, the first thing is the,what is this, a smartwatch?I mean, that seems reasonable.This actually looks good, right?- You need that.- All right.What the, what are these sneakers?Yo.- Get some sneakers.- Some red fashion sneakers?Yeah, yeah, I'm about that.There's an 11 inch 4G networkAndroid large-screen tabletfor $75.I'm gettin' red because why not.Oh God, I've already spent $145.Oh.Man, I feel like I'vealready got everything cool.- Well, nowyou're forced to buythings that are not cool.Welcome to Mystery Tech.- What if I just cheatand go into normal Wishand look for other stuff that's cool?All right, I'm just gonna cheat.Oh, a 4GB free classic games thing?Yeah, yeah, okay.All right.Oh what the, oh it's a Vita.Oh wait, no I want this one.Oh look, a Game Boy.Yo, I wanna Game Boy.Yeah, yeah, yeah, hook me up.$14?Look, you can buy fake money.There's 100 $100 bills for $1.I mean, let's be real,this stuff all looksbasically like hot garbage.Ooh, hello.We could get a Huawei SD card,apparently 256GB for $3.I don't see how we can go wrong here.- Get definitely two of those.- Ah, it's a corset for a guy, aight.Aight.Yo, fake Joy-Cons?Dude, these Joy-Cons arelike double the size.I am absolute buying them.Wait, for Wii U, for Switch,or for Switch Precision Edition?- What's aSwitch Precision Edition?- I dunno, I guesswe're about to find out.It's $33.There's also fake Procontroller, should we do that?- Yeah, yes.- Mean, it looks kinda like it.So that, my friends, iseverything we need from Wish.So I guess now we're justgonna have wait, like,three months for this stuff to show upand see if it's any good.I don't think it will be, though.(weird ululating)- Three months later.- Okay, so it has been a couple monthsand we finally have all of our Wish itemsas well as a much lessfull-featured facial hair.So let's see what garbagetown we have to deal with.It's been so long I've actually forgottenwhat we ordered, at this point.Oh yeah, this stupid thing.Oh, it came with an adapter?Aight.So this is our Huawei 256GB microSD card,which cost like, how much was it?- $5.75.- Oh yeah.So less than $6.Now, I'm incredibly suspiciousthat this is actually a 256GB card.It is almost certainly not aHuawei microSD card either,judging by the generic memory card box.Some of the listed capacityis used for formatting and other functionsand is not available for storage.Something tells me that by someis going to be like, 240 of the 256GB.I believe Linus did a videoshowing how some of the SD cardsthat seem to have a lot of capacityare actually fake and instead,when you start to fill them up,they delete old files.So I'm going to try to transfera bunch of footage overand see if it actually will work.So I pull up properties,it shows as a 249GB drive.I mean, that actually wouldbe technically correct.That's strange.Is this actually real?Dude, it's at 65KB a second right now.I don't think I havethe patience for this.Pssh.That had way more bounce than I thought.Oh, it's the stupid fake Joy-Cons.You know that Wish sponsors the Lakers?Literally the only logoon Lakers jerseys is Wish.I mean, at first glanceyou might be forgivenfor thinking that these are real Joy-Cons,but they feel like they'realmost twice as big.Lemme grab a real set of Joy-Cons.So for comparison, this is whata legit Joy-Con looks like.Now, it's roughly the same sorta shape,although on the back,you can see that there'sa little bit of a ridge,but it's just way bigger.Like, way bigger.(laughs)My Switch is now just like, an inch wider.(laughs)Oh, it worked.Ayyy, look at that.It shows up as two actual, real Joy-Cons.So if I attach these,it actually will not charge them, though,so I can use it as likea normal, wired Joy-Con,but it's still actuallyconnected via Bluetooth.So it will drain the battery like this.Dude, this is actuallyreally not that bad.I mean, the buttonsdon't feel quite as niceand I wish they actually would charge,but like, I mean like, I'mnot doing very well here, but.Now, I will say one thing,the fact that they havethis little lip on the outside,which, even though they're bigger,they actually kinda fit better in my handsThe standard Joy-Cons, they're fine,but I kinda feel like I have a little bitof a claw grip sometimes,whereas this feels a little bit better,I'm not gonna lie.It still feels cheap, but not bad.Aha.So the next part, which isprobably a little less weird,is these Nintendo Switch Pro controller,or the Pro controller for N Switch,because obviously it'snot a Nintendo product.I mean, at first glance this looks exactlylike a standard Pro controller.This looks straight up like they just usedthe original mold for this.It literally, on the back,says support.nintendo.com.I think they actually took a legit moldof the real Pro controllerand just removed the word Nintendo here,'cause that's exactlywhere Nintendo would be.It says, support Germany for Nintendo.I mean, this is just a Pro controller.(laughs)The buttons feel the same,the sticks feel the same.Actually, hang on a second.Can I change my smart steering?Okay.Dude, it even has the gyroscope.If you feel a little bit uncomfortablebuying something which is very,very obviously a knockoff,I totally understand whyyou wouldn't wanna get this,but this is, as far as I can tell,straight-up a Pro controller.Now, maybe it'll break at some point,maybe there's a train outsidethat's gonna sort of step on my line,but like, this is legitjust a Pro controllerthat someone just strippedoff the Nintendo badgeand is selling it forlike, half the price.Oh, god.The fake money.Okay, does this lookreal on camera right now?'Cause this is about thefakest thing I've ever seen.It's mostly just incredibly blurry.Like, it looks like ifyou printed this yourselfon a printer from 1999,that's what it looks like.For fake money, it doesn'tsay fake money anywhere.There's no like, for prop,comedy use only or anything,there's literally just a little bitof Chinese writing on the backand that's it.This actually looks likeit's probably illegal.Wait, is this illegal?I think this is, oh.These things bounce so weirdly, right?All right, we'll just put myfake money out of the way.I will say one thing, thisis very, very well packaged.Oh, it's the fake iPad, excellent.Oh wait, no it's not an iPad, is it?It kinda looks like one from the front.Actually, well, it lookslike one from all angles.I mean, not gonna lie.This is like, not the worstfake iPad I've ever seen.I mean, they've kinda gotlike the little notch here.That actually does seem to be real metal.That screen does not look good, thoughAnd this is definitely a fake button.That doesn't do anything.I dunno, I think if youshow this to Grandma,she'd probably think you had an iPadand not a $52 tablet that'sgarbage-town, that's dead also.I'm not gonna lie,so far we've actuallybeen doing pretty well.There have definitely been some busts,but things like the Switchcontroller seems cool,the iPad, if it actually wants to turn on,seems maybe okay.Maybe.Maybe.Oh, all right.In case you're curious,this is not an actual iPad.- Is that aheadphone jack in the side?- Oh yeah, (laughs), theheadphone jack is on the side.All right.Android 8.1?What?Really?That's actually not that bad.Is this actually gonna be decent?Like, I really did not thinkthis was gonna be good,but like, it actually doesn'tseem like the worst thingI've ever tried, especially for $50.Although I guess, for $50,you could get like, a Fire tablet.Whoa, hey.Update on this guy.It has now magically jumpedup to 19MB per secondon the transfer.We're actually, is it workingor did it just like, failover into the fake versionwhere it's deleting my old files?Now I'm suddenly gettinga little bit uncomfortablewith the idea that I justplugged a random microSD cardinto my computer.Maybe I shouldn't have done that.That coulda been a reallybad idea, actually.- I mean, it's aHuawei one, so what's the--- (laughs)- What's the harm in that?- That frame rate is really not good.But 480p, come on man?Is that the best you can do in 480p?That ain't it.So not great for video.It sounds bad and it runs videosat like, 12 frames per second.Uh, maybe just buy a FireHD 7, or anything else.I bet you

(laughs)Stay back.Stay back. (laughs)(laughs)It's so mushy!Come on!Come on!Yes!Also, I just pulled my mic off.I wanna keep playing with this.But wait, hang on, what's401 Game Boy thing?Ooh.You know what?Yo, that's actually not bad.All right.401.So we have Super Mario, thisthing's just loaded with ROMs.It's just loaded with ROMs.What is this?!Pikachu.What is that?!Wait, what?Wait, is this just,- (laughs)- is this Dr. Mario?I mean, it's like Tetris, but wasn't it,I never played Dr. Mario,but wasn't it kinda similar to this?- Yeah.- All right, there's definitelya lot of doubles in here.Like, they're primarily doubles.Why am I small?Do you see this?I'm too, dude, I'm too small to jump!(laughs)How do you mess up Mario, man?What the actual, what is this?- What?What?!(laughs hysterically)Oh, now you gotta play it.- Mario has throwing stars?!Also, it runs likeeight frames per second.Yikes.Oh my God, dude, what is this?
