Whoa! Jesus!(glass shatter sfx)

I like how that box is so light. It basically floated itself onto the desk. Is this one of those things I've seen on Instagram where it's like those lenticular, like, pieces of plastic?

Missouri boy over here with the $20 words!

Why do you have these discussions before you open the box?

Because, here's the thing. I'll let you in on a little secret from Mystery Tech. The items are always lame. It's the banter you come for.

(island fail music)

Wow!(epic reveal music)

It's so clear I can't even see it! It's so clear, it's...

We should've got him a green cloak.

(glass shatter sfx)

See? Sounds an awful lot like something fell out of there!

Oh my god. (laughter) You just took it out of the box to make fun of me, didn't you?

Yeah.

All right, is everyone ready to find me to be invisible? Can you see me?

Okay first off, you're holding it the wrong way.

Oh, sorry. Is that better?

Nope. You're vaguely, your head...

No, you know what? It's a distance thing, it's a distance thing. So literally stand... like...

Ooh!

There we go, look at... oh look at...

Ooh-ho!

Yo! Yo!

Austin come out, come out. (audience applause) Yeah!

It's working!

Okay!

Got it.- This was an Indiegogo thing,so by the time that thatfulfilled and everything,and they sent it over,it's been a few months.There is another Indiegogo now.- Yep!- And I will saythat this next versiondoes have a touchscreen.- Really?Hello!Wow, our CPU is 100% pegged.So you're gonna play abunch of like emulatorsfrom like, I would guess like maybe likeDolphin and earlier you're probably okay.Now importantly, youdo have 16 gigs of RAMwhich I will give themprops, that actuallyis a really nice amount of RAM.This is, honestly, probablylike $200 worth of hardware.- You can buythis retail for 200.We did an early bird for 150, so.- Oh wait, oh!Oh, this is dramaticallybetter than I thought.Oh, okay.Considering we bought this for $150,I'm actually kinda about it.I wanna be clear.You're not gonna wanna do a lot.Like yes, this will technically playa lot of modern games,but like not well at all.You'll have to turnsettings all the way down.You know what?I was gonna be very verynegative and complain a lot,but now that I know it's so cheap,I'm actually pretty okay with it.This is actually kinda cool.- And they gaveyou like $30 worth of merch.- Okay, well -- Yeah, think of the stickers.- I don't have -- Think of Joanna's happiness.- I saw thestickers for five secondsand they were just stolen immediately.- It's just priceless.Okay! Okay!- Wow!- Why you gotta censor me?- You just improvedthat framing by a lot.- Ayaneo!Imagine that!A whole little mini PC.Incredible.Why is that so warm? Ew!Touch Me!Uh-oh.- Oh!I'mma be real, this thinglooks like it came from Temu.- Uh-oh! Uh-oh!Oh no!That's a lot of things.So we've got ourselves aPCB with what looks likesome contacts here, a chip.So it's got a bunch of musical notes,so we've got C-D-E-F-G-A-B."This is our homage to Memphis Group."A design architectural groupfounded by Ettore Sottsass."There's a sticker.It's like the famous likefinger touching sticker.You know.- The what?- The finger toucher.- And the Lord uwu'd Adam into creation.- There's no instructions. No?- Are you sure about that?- Nope, nope, nope, nope.That goes into a computer.- Oh no!Okay, all right.I've been instructed to goto synth.playtronica.com.Open up Dotpoiano. It's gonna load.Am I about to listen towhat a plant sounds like?- Sure are!(jungle noises)(lion roars)- Okay, so I'm gonna clamp this.- No! Oh my god.- Through this, guys?- Through the holes!- Okay, so I'm gonna clamp this side.No, I think I'm gonna likejust gently caress it.Wait wait, I gotsomething, I got something.(piano melody)- So I'm gonna put a watercup here and a water cup here.- Also kids, justin case you weren't aware,this is also how you jump a car.- Everyone ready to hearwhat water sounds like?(cricket chirp sfx)- That do anything?- All right, I gotta dothe thing. I just gotta...(piano melody)- No!- Try it on a screwdriver.Somebody tried it on a screwdriver before.(buzzing melody)- Whoa! Ah!(buzzing melody)(Alex laughs)- But do we differ?- Okay, you go ahead.What does your soul sound like?(buzzing melody)- It kinda does sound different.- Matt, what do you sound like?Let us know.(buzzing melody)- Yours is so sad.(buzzing melody)- Oh! Wait!(buzzing melody)Ooh, oh, I got something here.(piano melody)- This is a dumb futuristicinstrument from Star Trek.- Yeah.- Pretty much.- Beam me up, Scotty!(laughs) I'm sorry, wrongversion of Star Trek.I'm sorry.- Force be with you?- No!No, Ken!- Stop quoting Gandalf!(Austin laughs)- Uh-oh.Oh god!So we got ourselves not one,but two mysterious boxes.They're different, but the same.Much like we all aredifferent and yet the same.You know that you share 90%of your DNA with a banana?What?Controllers?CRKD. Crooked.Did they send this, or didyou just buy every color?- They sent it to us.- They sent us everything.- I will say the ClassicClear Edition looks cool.And there's also the Blossom Edition.So I'll say that thethumbsticks feel pretty nice.The D-pad's all right aswell as the face buttons.And it's got very deep shoulder buttons.It does have a headphonejack on the bottomas well as USB-C on the top.What's the claim to fame herebesides just a nice controller?- It is 50 bucks.- Why don't y'all take a look at this.I'm gonna open up another one and see.I'm a little sus on $50.I'm not gonna lie.I'm not sure that that's the move.- Those analog sticks feel nice.- This might be a little nitpicky.50 feels like a little too much.- It doesn't feel as premiumas like an Elite 2 or the DualSense Edge.So like it has the remappable.(glass shatter sfx)- It's like something's missing.It's almost there.Obviously I'm not like fired up, but just.I think 'cause I try so many controllersfrom Temu and whatnot, thisdoesn't feel that different.It's a little nicer, but likethere's a lot of controllersI've bought for like 12 bucksthat feel kinda similar.Hold on a second.That's, uh, that's!- That little sakura one.- I will say I'm not amassive fan of controllersthat have like, you know, like the littlecontrol attachments for your phonelike the Backbones and Razors and whatnotjust because I feel likeit's not super ergonomic.And it's really difficult to kinda carry.So I actually am a fan of havinga dedicated separatecontroller and just setyour phone wherever, oryour tablet or whatnot.What is in this box?Is it 17 more of these things?Oh, oh, oh, I know this one.I think Kev Kenson did a video on this.So this is a Switch Grip,but it actually does a lot more than that.So it does have the Hall Effect Joy-Cons,but one of the mainthings is I think this isthe version that has an actual HDMI on it.Hang on, I'm seeingsomething I don't like.Why does it come withan HDMI to USB-C dongle?I thought it just did HDMI directly out.You need the dongle?Oh that's less cool.So you just slot your Switch in like this.It clicks into the USB-C.Actually it clicks in quite nicely.And then you got yourselfa much more ergonomic,I will kinda say Steam Decksort of feeling grip for your Switch.I will say I kinda like thissort of chrome-y purple,and like the smoked sort of finish.It does have a kickstand onthe back which is very firm.Like holy!Now there's no batteryin this I don't think.They didn't say anything about a battery,so you're not gonnaget extra battery life.(deep sigh)The fact that, especially if I'm goingto like a hotel or whatever,I gotta not only carry my dongle.I might also have to carryaround an HDMI cable too?I will say, my Switch isdefinitely dead right now.So let me charge this.Yay charging!So I'll be right back afterthis is done charging.(bell ring sfx)So with a perilously low 6% battery,let's give this - oh mygod, there's another update?I'm gonna talk aboutthis in the theoretical'cause I'm tired of waiting.So the good parts about this,the sticks actually do just come off,so you actually can swapthem off really easily.So the kickstand isdefinitely a highlight.The fact that it is so firm.You can really put it inany direction you wantall the way up and down.But my big questionabout this that's reallygonna determine is the price, right?Like how much are theycharging for the Nitro Deck?- So the blackversion without carrying caseis currently on sale for 50.- I actually, you know what?I'll give this a thumbs up for 50 bucks.It actually feels pretty solid.Yeah. I just wish they would'veput a full-sized HDMI on it.That's the only thing that Ifeel like I'm missing here.- Okay.- You know what?That was a little bit moredramatic than it needed to be.Welcome, my friends, to Piano Gloves!"Each fingertip plays a different note."Same. Watch this.(bones cracking sfx)So eight differentmusical instrument tones.You can demo with six prerecorded songssuch as "Row Row Row Your Boat"and "You Are My Sunshine".- Sick!- Those are some of my favorites.So I tried an app called PianoVision on the Meta Quest 3.And it was cool because youcould actually use a real piano,and it would basically give youlike Guitar Hero style vibes with itso you actually see the keys coming down.It was really fun!This is probably gonna be a lot less fun,but probably a lot goofier.Let's see how the Piano Gloves work.So I'm gonna turn it on.(piano notes ringing)- Oh my god, that's...- Wait, wait, I likehow clever this is though.Okay, so -(piano notes)- Oh my god.- So.(erratic piano notes)- Go ahead.- Matt.- This is the sound ofme putting my gloves on.- Why are you yelling at me?- Do something!Get him to stop!(piano notes get louder)So if you've never learned piano before,right hand is treble clef.Left hand is base clef.And so all the notes onthe right side are higher.All the notes on the left side are lower.- I feel like I'm like some(duck quack sfx) memberof the Blue Man Groupor something right now.- The White Man Group?(laughter)(off-key piano notes)It's almost Ode to Joy.I'm having the worst strokewatching you right now.Okay.- Oh wait, hang on dude.My gloves aren't on fully straight.I think that's actually kinda part of it.- Okay, try goingone finger at a time.Or just keep doing all the notes.Okay. Palms base.- And then fingers.- This is the worstrecital I've ever been to.- This is painful to watch.(piano notes)- Oh no!I'm low health!I need a potion quick!- I'm just gonna do this for you.I'm gonna hit demo.("Oh Susanna" melody)- Damn, you got so much better!(off-key notes added in)(laughter)- You can't turn it off!♪ Mystery tech ♪♪ The show, the show, it is for me ♪- All right,show me what you got!- Oh no, I thought we were done.(piano notes)(loud slap sfx)- How much was this?- $32.- Oh Jesus Christ,that's $31 too expensive.- Yeah.Okay, this is going in the garbagewhere no one can try it ever again.- This seems likesomething that your aunt,your great aunt who you seeonce a year at Thanksgivingand always has somethinga little bit sus to say,but you don't really wanna get into it'cause it's gonna extend the conversationwould get you as a Christmasgift every third yearwhen she remembers to send you something.Thanks!Aunt Bertha.- You still like music?- (whispers) This is the partwhere you throw a box my way.And then I unbox it.And I go.Mystery!Tech!This is getting awkward.I'm gonna have to start begging peopleto like, follow, subscribe, and ring ringthe ding-a-ling soon ifyou don't give me a box.Otherwise, I'm gonna doan interpretive danceof my life story.(loud moan)(glass shatter sfx)- Oh boy, that almost went poorly.- All right, so you'vebeen making a lot of noise.This item might help.- Ombra Soundproof Mask.Long time Mystery Techviewers will remember.There are a couple of unique masksthat we have tried over the years.This is I guess the next in the lineof Austin's questionablemystery decisions."Because whispering is not an option.""Because playing in silence is no fun."What the hell?Is this like keeping someone quietin your trunk of your car?Is this more like -- Why is that thefirst thing you went to?- "Because playing in silence is no fun."What's with the whole playing thing?Is this meant for like gamerswho are screaming obscenities?Uh-oh!- Oh god.- Oh no!(laughter)- I feel like we're not wearingenough leather for this segment.- No, I actually agree.Oh!No, no no no no.No no no!No no no no no!Okay.(nonsense babbling)Oh good lord, is this the mic?It's got a headphone jack on it.Okay.So we've got aux, so amicrophone/headphone splitter.Oh, here are the straps.Okay, well.- (accent) The straps,tell me about the straps.- "Inspired by the purelove for video gaming,"Metadox presents The Ombra, a comfortable"easy to breathe throughvoice dampening mask."Allows you to playgames anywhere, anytime."I understand the idea that you don't wantto shout and yell when you'rechoking again in League,but I don't know that this isgonna be a better solution.- My dignity wouldsay I'm just gonna use text.- Okay!Stop! Okay!- What's the safe word, Matt?I need a safe word.- Shouldn'tyou pick the safe word?- This is too - oh!- Oh.Oh that immediately started working.- You know, here's the problem.It just keeps covering my nosewhich means I can't breathe.(muffled scream)How do I sound right now?- Wow.- Very muffled.- The best I'veever heard you sound.- Cool. Okay.This is now a test (audiodrop) using the microphone.(audio dropping in and out)This is now a test -- Oh geez.- Oh my god.- Using the microphone.- That sounds justlike the (duck quack sfx)in a Call of Duty lobby.- Okay, so I'm gonna try to whisper.So I'm just curious.Can you guys hear anythingI'm saying right now?- Barely.- I'm gonna (audio drops in and out).This is what it soundslike without the mask!And now (audio drops in and out)- Yeah, okay.So it's just insane peaking.(laughter)- It sounds likeyou're getting shot.- What do I have to say about this mask?I think it's probablybetter if you plug it intosomething that has betteraudio capabilities.But I guess it kinda works.I just question how muchyou need this in your life.- Well how much would you payfor something like this?- $80.- Oh, I'm sorry.(laughter)- At least we won't be ableto hear him yelling at us.- It was $139.(Austin screams)(loud explosion sfx)
