The camera from that console has recorded dawids shenanigans and uploaded them to the chinese database where it will get evaluated and studied as "average canadian male behaviour" for chinas AI models
It wasn’t plugged into the internet. Once they get hold of the footage though, I’m sure they’ll find me flailing real useful. 😂
Can you be SURE it wasn't plugged into the internet?
That's what they want you to think @@DawidDoesTechStuff
they will send you more crap for free once they see the video.
@@DawidDoesTechStuff it wasn't plugged into YOUR internet, it doesn't mean it didn't have a way to connect to their database 😏
"Selling piles of manufactured garbage to people with no impulse control" perfectly describes Temu and I don't think I could've come up with a description so spot-on myself.
I don’t really understand how people shop on these sites. 😅
Guess there's hundreds of millions of those people. It's fucking depressing.
@@DawidDoesTechStuffbecause people just want cheap, not quality or ethically correct. The world is doomed man.
@@DawidDoesTechStuff I mean I sometimes use Ali for PSU cables, Ali was good for RX 580 cards. But I guess Ali is 10x better techwise than Temu
@@t0uchmyh0rn Yeah AliExpress is much better. There is a whole bunch of useful stuff on there.
I have been using a similar “mouse jiggler” for a year. The reason was because someone in the department was informing my boss of people being away from their computer a lot. Best $10 investment ever!
lol yeah it’s rare that they are actually watching the screen, but seeing how long you’re afk
I use free software for that called caffeine
Yeah Last year I was made redundant and for the last 6 months I was there a device to stop my work laptop from locking due to inactivity and then showing my status as away would have been really useful.
I use one of those half keyboards things from Amazon for about £10 to use with my laptop for gaming, makes it way more comfortable, give it a whirl!
Agreed. I play with Logitech G13 and I can say:
Oo paired with a laptop makes sense
I guess that makes more sense. Maybe this one just isn’t a good example of one, because it’s lacking some real important keys like enter.
@@DawidDoesTechStuff True. The G13 also have an Analog Stick, which I used as F1-4@ SWBF I+II yesterdays for e.g….
Today I Play Call of Duty Mobile and can say that claws or Controller with this Kind of cheap Mechanic works very very well. I was very surprised about that…..😅👍
@@saschadiestelow8368 just can't buy them any longer unless you want to pay $1200 on Amazon haha
Really interesting, the difference between in quality between ultra cheap and cheap feels really huge
Yeah, ultra cheap crap is often some of the worst value.
Cheap makes money in you coming back.
Ultra cheap makes money by churning through people.
Yup, that is the way of the budget market. Every step up gives a massive increase in performance and quality.
Like going from a $30 GPU to a $50 GPU to a $70 GPU to a $90 GPU, each step massively improves the result.
And there are lots of budget things that are budget, but not cheap. For the longest time I played with a 20 € mouse, and it did a great job. Not as good as one for 50, but a noticable difference to one for 10
You should try to use the mobile phone cooler to cool increasingly higher TDP desktop/laptop cpus.
I was also thinking that. It seems surprisingly powerful for what it is.
@@DawidDoesTechStuff Throw the 14900K at it. Just kidding but I would love to see how it performs compared to the older crappier intel stock coolers
Great minds think alike. However our minds probably aren't great if we are seriously asking about using that fan to cool a CPU. You know we just want to see things go horribly wrong.
@@DawidDoesTechStuff Could it maybe have a Peltier element in it? If they didn't lie about the condensation it might. Probably not, but it might. How much power does it draw?
@@joe--cool that was my thought as well. The whole "condensation when not gaming" suggests that there is some active heat transfer going on.
But the laptop cooling idea is exactly what we need to see next.
To be fair those half keyboards make ideal sim racing button boxes when added to a sim rig (frame)
Yeah or for gaming with a laptop in a more comfortable way.
the mouse jiggler i think is more for anti-AFK things in game so you dont get logged out. Seems archaic now but maybe more safe/undetectable for games than a macro?
The mouse jiggler would be an absolute godsend for jobs like mine where the IT department doesn't count actual computer activity as *use*, so if I trigger a large batch script and let it run -- odds are good I will come back and find my VDI session has timed out and been recycled even though the script still had several hours to go. I usually have to put the mouse on my record turntable and clip the cord in place to keep it from entering sleep mode when I can't be bothered to sit here and interact with the stupid thing every fifteen minutes.
yeah reminds me of those MMO's and whatnot where you could AFK fish and some games didn't like that too much, so this would keep you "active". Though nowadays games would either have more complex detection or simply not care, AFK gaming is often promoted often times, as long as they keep you in the game.
Theyve become increasingly popular because of wfh as a lot of jobs just check teams to see if youre nit wfk and that's about it
I recently got demoted and for some weird reason I can't explain, this channel became my safe space while I mourned the loss. I binged pretty much all the videos of the last few years. All day.
It's really weird but now i feel better and watch it normally. And I'm enjoying my new role anyway.
Thank you!
Sounds like you got a positive from that demotion. Good Luck out there.
@@Thurgosh_OG yeah back to engineering and no more toxic management
Toxic management is the worst
capitalism moment
So I dont use them, but when I had a gaming laptop the half keyboard came in handy. I hated using the onboard keyboard and it was a lot easier to pack a half keyboard in my bag for when I needed a gaming style keyboard.
condensation means it's like sticking a fridge to the side of your phone kid💀💀
Bro, that "light show" usb that came with the console is actually really useful. You can put it in one of the rear USB ports on your pc and have cool asf lighting on the wall behind your pc!
These peripherals look like something that would be given away with a McDonalds happy meal....actually, there is an idea
10000000% especially the console thing lol
An idea.... The McDonalds gamer meal ? Made for 15 to 30 year olds ? Kind of like when Burger King had the "Big Kids Meal ?" It comes with cheap gamery RGB crap and has a Big Mac, 3 Chickie nuggets, a large fry and an energy drink ?
@@Gatorade69 Gamer Meal? More like 60 Nuggets, 3 Big Macs and 4l of Diet Coke.
@@Vittrich Yeah there would probably be more Chickie nuggies. Also not all gamers are obese but the stoners could probably eat a lot. And diet coke ? What gamers drink diet coke ? It's either Mountain Dew, energy drinks or something like Gfuel or Gamersupps. Also that's just bad business, if the person is a fat ass you make them buy multiple gamer meals and it can be bundled with Double XP tokens for their favorite battle royales.
Off topic but your comment reminded me of the one time I was at McDonalds and saw a man buy 5 Big Macs, 2 buckets of fries (at one point McDs sold buckets of fries) 2 large drinks and then he brought a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos into the restaurant to eat with his meal. He was 500 pounds if I had to guess.
In a few years, they will be giving stuff like this away with Happy Meals
Dawid You should definitely should try that phone cooler thing on the back plate of a GPU and see if it helps cool the GPU.
Yea Like on MSI 3060 Ventus 12gb OC on some of my game that use Resizable bar I notice it goes up from 70C-72C up to 77C I wonder if this would work to help keep it cool.
Btw, the mouse jigglers were popular (mostly a few years ago) for the cubicle types so they wouldnt get tagged for being inactive if they went to use the bathroom or get a coffee etc.
I use one at home to keep my teams from going into away mode while im not at my computer. I'm actually running it right now so I can watch this video lol
@@davyc412 I thought they were kind of obsolete. Glad you're able to beat the system... Power to the people! 👊😄
That sounds like a miserable job. If I'm there I'm getting paid
"Piles of manufactured garbage to people with no impulse control." Yep that sums me up pretty well.
ok it's time for you to go on a temu shopping spree💀💀
@@SaraMorgan-ym6ue Oh I've been on several.
@@Ariannus I guess it's time for another one then🤣🤣
I wonder if the mouse jiggler could keep you from AFK logging out of games (like World of Warcraft)
Oh, that’s actually quite an interesting and plausible use case. I expect it would work just fine for that, too.
Yea i think thats the only reason they made that. And might be the best tool in this review. Had wow friends who used teamviewer/remotedesktop to move their mouse every few mins cause the login queues were so high.
The phone cooler must have a Peltier cooling device in it.
Isnt they are...kinda expensive?
I was thinking that too. I may do a video where I try cool a CPU with it.
@@DawidDoesTechStuffyou really need to
@@DawidDoesTechStuff Try a can of soda? One of those is all that is in those novelty mini mini fridges for soda cans.
There must have been a warehouse full of them laying around after intel discontinued that product line
The left hand only keyboards made a lot more sense back when your main keyboard was mushy AF. I had one back in the day, and it really was more comfortable to use, and freed up more of my tiny dorm desk space for my mouse.
had one when my main pc was an old vaio, I didn't want to buy a whole new keyboard because the vaio keyboard was fine for typing but not for gaming... it was nice to use it just for fps.
think of it like you are a laptop user but you like to have a external keyboard for gaming and you dont want to carry a nomral size one around when you arent home
The Nostromo one handed keyboard I used to own had a D-pad and a trim-style analog input.
The additional controls aside, I could see it useful as a side hotkey keyboard for a simulator setup, where space is at a premium and you don't need a full size keyboard
Feel like, maybe not this keyboard specifically, still seems a little bulky. But a half keyboard would probably make sense with a steam deck
@@MartyrKomplx I used a G13 (or whatever the Logitech one was) for Elite:D, the stick and overall config was pretty good for it.
Not really for FPS or MOBA tho, and I never got into MMOs.
im actively playing ffxiv on one of these half keyboards. Its very neat and customizable, for example i use different height keycaps to have a better feel for what im clicking and use many custom shortcuts on all the buttons. I dont have to do any stuff to my keyboard either while the half keyboard is just the right size for my hand, very comfy to play on for extended amounts of time.
i just use an mmo mouse for ff haha. i have small hands though, so it's a lot more comfortable for me to have my buttons on my mouse rather than on my keyboard
9:45 I know a lot of people that use these, mostly because a lot of office work from home jobs use terrible apps like Microsoft Teams, which...after about 5 mins will show you as "away" and when that happens, your boss will contact you because they assume you're not working. Also, a lot of WFH supers have a monitoring program showing when the last time you did an action, like move your mouse.
Thanks for doing these videos, love when you buy weird/cheap stuff and try it out.
I’m glad you enjoy it. Hopefully it also prevents other people from feeling they need to buy this crap.
Please don't encourage temu again tho 😂
Hey David, the half keyboard exists because in early esports days you would have tiny deskspace in the lan you're going at and having more mouse space is generally way better for FPS games than having most of the keyboard you aren't using for gaming.
Yea but he prefers to be ignorant to be "funny" so he doesn't bother to look up a use case
Also good with laptops
They are also great as a stream deck and if you play games with a lot of keybinds like flight sims.
These things didn't exist in the early esports days which is why for example the older cs pros had to get used to playing with their keyboards at a 90 degree angle from them or even behind the screen. And nowadays there's either more room or you just get an actual 60% keyboard so you can use chat and normal windows functions while having more space without looking like an idiot who falls for gamer marketing.
Or if you need a full keyboard with num pad for work that gets in a way when gaming. No need for a second one just half
5:57
That piece of spying hardware has an infrared window lol
Top notch 😂 giggled throughout
I’ve debated on getting one of those half keyboards to use as a macropad for CAD software. You can get software that allows to reprogram what each button does, meaning entire macros is possible.
Might be a cheap option for video editing as well.
But even my usecase requires hacking it.
Logitech g13, exact use case for ya. onboard macro creation, customize buttons, data screen
Hello everyone
Hello
Hi
Hello
Sup
Hello
That device that moves the Mouse Cursor around could be very handy at my job lol. I work Corporate security and have to watch CCTV cameras BUT every time the PC goes to screen saver, I have to reinitialize the CCTV program and all my Cam views lol...Does it every ten minutes and it's a royal pain in the arse lol
I quite like the half keyboard idea. When I game I use a mouse and a usb number pad. I just allocate all my games functions that are not on my mouse to a number. Keeps everything in fingers reach and I can have many more options for hand placement with my keyboard out of the way its only just in front of my monitor so in easy flaming range! Been doing it this way since the Doom and Quake years.
I like the mouse and dare I say it...the game console. It's not often to see a budget mouse with software allowing you to change the polling rate. Very useful feature. Well, in one game, but still, very useful.
EDIT: Hilarious video, thanks for sharing.
If you want to look at what the mouse rips off, look at Swiftpoint's Tracer, Creator, and Z/Z2. Nearly identical outside of the obvious missing buttons and features. Though they're a bit overpriced, but they also have no competition.
@@xaytana Thank you. I am poor so no chance of buying anything now. If I had money I would buy another Xornet II mouse. Fraking love it and it served me for years till it died on me.
@@xaytana get out of your privilege bubble not everyone can buy premium hardware
i love your contents dawid. everytime you upload a vid, i'll be excited to watch
Thanks for watching!
The posing at the end. What a game 😂
I never get tired of hearing dawid's funny moans in his videos. Very therapeutic
5:30 in the vid is a gloriously wimpy moan for your "therapy"
depending on the polling rate of that half mechanical keyboard, it can be awesome for quick rhythm games!
I don't think it will be anything decent however
That cooler was actually a little impressive for how much of a difference it made. Could be interesting to see it used for a desktop cpu?
It's likely a "Peltier" cooler. Peltier devices use materials where when a voltage is applied, one side gets really hot and the other gets really cold. There used to be CPU Peltier coolers like 15 years ago, I think they are out of fashion because they generate a lot more heat than they take away. So the CPU does get really cold, but the inside of the case gets very hot.
@@JasonMendoza-hd3ce Did some research and it turns out these were actually still made until a few months ago. Intel and EKWB made water blocks for Intel's "cryo-cooling" software back in 2020 that use this kind of cooling... except that they discontinued it just in November 2023 according to an AnandTech article... so yeah, it doesn't exist anymore lol.
Interesting though
The half keyboard is good for VR. When I was playing Elite Dangerous in VR, keeping control of where you are on a regular keyboard can be a little bit of a mess, so I got a Razor Tartarus Chroma , a partial keyboard with some mouse control on it. Bound all my auxiliary controls to that and never needed to bother hunting over my keyboard blind. :)
Love the random gadgets Dawid showcase :D Keep it up mate!
If you had the other half of that keyboard, you could set up a wicked space sim setup, with that half right behind the throttle and the other half right behind the joystick. :) (and yes, I understand it's designed to be used with a mouse for the right hand and there's not actually an "other half")
I was waiting for someone to do a temu pc because their stuff looks like its Chinese spy products..
Oh, you didnt test the sdds and memory modules…
Why would they want to spy on a beardy Westerner flailing around?
"spy equipment" unlike the phone in your hand? The camera constantly pointed at you face, microphones, gps tracking, etc.
2:22 Sooooo close! lol (sticker on box)
I'm almost surprised the 'mouse jiggler' didn't try to open up your browsers and try to access their password vaults. :P
It probably did, he just doesn’t know yet ;)
Regarding the Half Keyboard. It got all the keys you 99% of the time would you use in videogame with said hand. With some models certain companies sells having Plenty of extra keys for macros placed around it. Hell i think Razer sells one with a joystick.
The razer one isn't a joystick, it's more like a d-pad disguised as a joystick.
The half keyboard is useful for sitting next to a drawing tablet, where you only need a few shortcut keys but you don't want to have to reach too far.
I truly love watching this channel!
I've always liked those half gaming keyboards for gaming in my living room. I turn old PC's into media/gaming rigs for my TV, and for a lot of situations the half keyboards are perfect for reclining in my living room and playing an RPG or something turn based.
2:02 omg that is way too funny! A fan causing condensation and freezing! 😂
I use the razer Naga and razer Tartarus Pro for MMO gaming and I will never go back. Very specific use case, but it works really well. None of the knock off brands are worth it at all. Great video.
I use to have a half keyboard and it was one of the most comfortable gaming keyboards I've ever used. Of course, not having a full keyboard is a problem, I just had a cheep 60% as well for everyday typing. But the way the spacebar was helped, and the macros were good too.
Okay, to be fair, mouse jigglers have one purpose that can be really handy.
If you get a laptop from the government, or from a massive corporation, they typically have very short lock periods (mine is about a minute.) What that means is you can't even go to the bathroom without the laptop locking, requiring logging back in (generally with a smartcard) and re-opening your VPN connections. A jiggler allows you to go to the bathroom, or make a cup of coffee without having to relogin to everything.
Obviously you don't use them in an unsecured environment, but if it's sitting on your desk at home... yeah, they are a huge time saver.
I started my World of Warcraft with a very similar game pad, it was an absolute game changer and even today I have an ancient Cyber Snipa still in use and currently doing duty in the mines of Moria.
Dawid we need an entire dedicated video essay on the intricate lore of Throwing Gobling
Another comment on a separate video described you as having "dead-pan sarcasm". I was sold on that and had to subscribe. Also, 2:55 the radioactive platypus mention...funny as hell.
The mouse jiggler makes sense, because some computers have 'power saving' permanently on, and the screen shuts off if you dont keep moving the mouse. It drives a person crazy when theyre watching an embedded video or reading pages of information. On the other hand, never plug a USB anything into your computer or phone if you dont know the brand and trust it.
"a handful of pennies and shame" classic!
After seeing Temu stuff catching on fire. And some incidents damaging PCs and other expensive electronics. I wouldn't chance it.
“The final piece to our peripheral puzzle..” lol😅
5:05 L/R balance issues was a big problem for my V-moda Boompro, I just keep a can of contact cleaner at my desk and spray it in there every week, good workaround lol.
This was the best gadget videos I've ever watched, made me laugh so much😂
The cooling radiator got me 😂😂 "condensation is normal" xD
Well done on another entertaining video! Made me laugh out loud several times.
Dawid with another amazing video…love these sort of silly videos, when’s the next wish PC build?
I been using those same triggers for 6 months, didn't really expect them to still be functional but their really useful in call of duty since I struggle playing claw on my tiny phone with big fingers 😂
"A handful of pennies, and some shame" Sounds like a sad date lol
Ordered "PS4 controller" and two sets of wireless android headphones for 13 euros... And it states I saved 111 lol I just wonder on quality of these things when and if they arrive.
those half keyboard things are surprisingly popular, razer makes them too
Watching Dawid attempt to paddle the kayak was WELL worth the price of admission.
This one was hilarious. Good job as always, Dawid.
the excitement ion the beginning is so wholesome
Dawid you're the best and thanks for always putting subtitles
0:37 i know the packaging looks like trash but i actually kinda like this type of packaging because it is easy to open. :)
I was not expecting that thing to work like a Kinect
one of my friends buys "survival" junk from temu all the time and they're always complaining about the lights and stuff not working (or if they do, not well lol), yet they still continue to buy from them cause "its cheap enough I dont feel like im losing money" lol
"well he didn't have button triggers .." nailed it.
I really love how the heatsink description states, that the heatsink defies the basic laws of thermodynamics. *except it isn't just a fan, but a peltier element, which i doubt
the half a keyboard is hilarious. I know gamepads have been around for a long time, but with numbered programmable buttons, not just a keyboard haphazardly sawn in half XD
Dawid's escapades keep me laughing lol😂
Dawid is relatable in ways i didnt know i could ever relate to people.
4:40 these half keyboards are great for space and flight simulators. Especially if you have a cockpit, where finding a place to mount a full keyboard is difficult.
15:10 damn you really killed it there xD
OMG you've finally uploaded ive been waiting for days lol
A friend of mine was using the razer nostromo with his laptop when playing MMOs, so I'm not toooo shocked by the half-keyboard. I was even thinking it would be a cool add-on when traveling with a steamdeck-esque console (I'm drooling over the GPD win4).
Please don't touch my USB hole 😂😂😂
My kids got me a half keyboard deal as a Christmas present and I love it. Really comfortable and clicky. Bunch of ridiculous lights all over it and stuff.
I'm glad to see David is still in his "Tech jesus" arc.
For the shoulder button thing and getting games with buttons up there... I'm wondering if they were thinking of Steam Link where you can move around on screen buttons for the controller prompts so it would work with any game you stream that way.
Dawid Does Tech Stuff: The Solution to no buyer regret
That last pink one looked like and egg in a pink one piece bathing suit LOL
The one practical use for those half keyboards would be as a cheap DIY button box for racing and flying sims that you could mount to a rig.
The mouse jiggler would actually be pretty handy for when you have to go afk for a while in a game which kicks you for being idle for too long.
you can use software for that
the yr is 2026, legend has it, the phone cooler magnet is still attached to Dawids phone lol :D GG
Having a tech UA-cam channel immediately disqualifies you from having any impulse control
Dude, I haven't watched you in a year but god damn your hair is so luscious, it looks fantastic!!
"fished out of the local rubbish dump." Lol
Did you see the Temu Super Bowl ad "Shop like a Billionaire" (!), for what they probably spent to advertise during Super Bowl 58? Unrelated - you might enjoy reviewing Lexip gaming mice, only ones I've ever seen with a tiny analog stick on them and I have one. Your channel and you are superb; you are one of the elite few on The Tube that I would call a true showman.
The "MK-AXE II" is similar to my "Miracle Snail K50"😂
-The buttons feels and sounds like clicking those cheap ballpoint pens!😂
for the phone cooler you can get a metal plate that will extend to the soc, there are few in the market
Just stopped what I was doing to watch this when the notification popped up. I know Temu never disappoints
It honestly looked like he had an affliction when he was playing that jump rope game. 😂😂😂
That half keyboard is potentially useful for anybody that takes a wide gaming stance, with a lot of space between keyboard and mouse.
Place it off to the left of your typing keyboard.
that little half keyboard needs to go straight in bin the first lol
I will say the half keyboard does actually have a use case. Some people don't have a lot of desk space so the half keyboard allows them to have more mouse travel space while gaming. It is in no way a replacement for a full keyboard but it is an instead option. Artists also use similar keyboards for macro keys as there desk tends to be taken up by their drawing tablet.
