Since pick and place became cheaper than cheap, it would not even make remotely sense to build those PCBs like that.

Tommy has been doing this SINCE DAY ONE!!! MANY years ago (1993) my buddy moved to Miami and UPS lost his box and I had a friend who was a manager at Burdine's (Macy's bought them out - same type store) and could give him her manager's discount so he could by clothes, but he was on a budget of $250. Of course, him being a New Yorker, he wanted "name brand" everything and he saw this Tommy Hilfiger sweatshirt and loved it even though the only notable Tommy anything was the silkscreened logo on the breast. That Shi(r)t was $99 and I told him dude just buy the champion sweater for $16 instead and he was like you can't compare. So I exposed the tag on the Tommy sweatshirt and it was literally the exact same Champion sweatshirt!!! He looked at me like oh! Screw TH and anyone partaking in these deceptive practices!

25:28 What you are describing is rollover, not ghosting. Ghosting is when you press a certain amount of keys, and you get an unpressed key outputted. Rollover refers to how many keys you are guaranteed to be able to press. Pretty much every keyboard made today does not have ghosting issues. Due to this confusion, marketing teams will use the term anti-ghosting because they know that most people do not know the difference and assume it refers to rollover. As a rubber dome over membrane keyboard, this keyboard has 2 key rollover, not 3 (I would guess pressing W, E, & D would prove this). The 6 key hard limit is because they are using the basic USB keyboard driver which only allows a max of 6 keys even if the board itself were to electrically support N-key rollover. This limit with USB is why in the early days, some gamers would prefer using PS/2 keyboards.

Just wanted to give some positive feedback. Long time watcher, but limited free time so I tend to cherry pick the videos I spend time on. This probably isn't your first video doing this level of in depth analysis on every aspect of the kit. I've seen some individual analyses provided on various products for a while now, so maybe it's just striking me because with three products there's a lot more of it in absolute terms. Regardless, it really stood out in this video, and I love it. The way that the in-house lab took apart and analyzed the hardware in advance and delivered real in-depth analytics and graphs on every aspect, especially on the mouse and headphones, was amazing. I was initially a little skeptical of the value-add from LTT labs given the investment needed to get it running, but damn, this is just next-level analysis. All the best to your team and keep up the good work. It sounds from reading the comments like you might have successfully gotten this product pulled, which is honestly a public service from the looks of it. I think I heard or read somewhere that your company is getting into professional product testing as an additional income stream. Honestly, you guys should go a step further and get into the certification business someday. Have a little seal that companies can put on products if they meet certain quality standards determined by your team. I'd feel pretty confident in a product LTT Labs approved. Given how useless online reviews are these days, it would absolutely make a difference to my purchase decision if one product was certified and the other wasn't, even if the non-certified product had "higher" reviews.

Tommy Hilfiger is one of those "designer" brands I associate with being on permanent clearance at Macy's. The kind of thing where the MSRP is artificially high to trick unsuspecting grandparents into thinking it's a great deal when they find it in the bargain bin for 70% off. The only thing that surprises me about this video is that they were ever considered a respectable brand. That was before my time I guess.

Addressing the 5k dip on the Arctis. It’s a very common issue for closed back headphones/headsets. A common issue with engineering closed backs is phase cancelling, and one of the problem frequencies (even with good engineering) is commonly in 4.8k-5k range. Obviously, by the differences in measurements by the Arctis and the Tommy, engineering a closed back headphone is hard. It looks to me like the manufacturers of the Tommy just slapped a driver into a closed off chassis and called it a day where Steelseries actually bothered to r&d their product (probably because they did).

That "anti reverse engineering schmoo" is actually literally the IC package itself in that case, if you're pumping out a bazillion cheap boards it's more cost effective to put a bare die directly on the PCB and run the bond wires onto the board without a package in between. You then need a blob of epoxy to keep everything in one piece.

That's what I thought too, I recall seeing that blob was always being a sign of cheap/knockoff electronics (it's a big and obvious tell for if a cartridge-based game is a bootleg and not an original for example). I was confused when Linus said it was to prevent reverse-engineering.
@fliptrontube Рік тому
Agreed, not anti reverse engineering schmoo. The correct terminology is Chip On Board (COB) and is very common for high volume, low complexity products. For example, the very common text LCDs that show 2 lines of 16 characters, are universally COB construction. Greeting cards that have any electronics (music, voice..) are also COB. All digital Calipers too. The black epoxy provides environmental protection of the chip, but even more importantly, it protects the thinner than hair bond wires between the chip and the PCB.

I swear I've seen that damn headset in so many different cheap "gaming bundles" with absolute bottom-end hardware. I've even had one just like that. It cost like 30e in a set with a keyboard in 2018 and still wasn't exactly amazing value.

I only discovered LTT a few months back and I just can't get enough, the algorithm shows me these type of videos at the top of my feed and I click'em every time

This has been happening in the watch community for a long time now. Clothing brands selling shit for a huge markup. Hilfinger, Armani, Boss etc.

if you let them do this buying that shit, then why not? it's a market for stupid people with money.

Absolutely, just cheap shit rebranded with little effort going into the design most of the time

I mained a Dell oem keyboard and HP mouse until I got my G512 Carbon and Razer Naga. Roughly the same price as this. My headphones were a different story I used a cheap 30 dollar pair until I was gifted some amazing Sonys for christmas. Point is you can definitely fill your needs on a budget.

26:19 that keyboard looks like a generic keyboard advertised as "G21"
