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!

@HudsonGTV Год назад

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.

The "glob top" chip at 26:39 isn't an anti-reverse-engineering measure in this context (like you will see in some guitar pedals); it's actually a manufacturing cost reduction measure.

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.

@mechanoid5739 Год назад

Agreed! Look at cheap solar lights PCBs!

@Cyber_Akuma Год назад

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 Год назад

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.

@@luckylukeskywalker Yeah I can just imagine them walking up to the web team to add this to the website, them being lost in confusion and wondering what they're looking at or even supposed to put on the website, and the product team to just be like "Just put it up that same as how you would everything else"

The headphones are actually a rebranded “Raptor” headset, I only know this because I used to work at a family dollar that soled them.

Instantly one of your best videos! Labs-team smashed this one, so cool to see actual data of how bad is really bad! Also really liked that you gave the audience the comparison what that money actually buys. While we as LTT regular viewers and tech-lovers know, that info is really good to get into more mainstream and brands like Tommy Hilfiger are excellent to getting viewers like that. Great job everyone on this video!

seeing real data vs just taking his word realy puts into perspective his past videos and only reinforces that he can be trusted

Imagine being an LTT regular viewer, cringe. If they dropped linus, it would be a much better little show.

I thought this is one of the worst videos, basically listen Linus moan for 30 minutes about the most boring products ever made. This could have been a 3 minute video, or have multiple products from different "designer brands".

Loving the lab. Being able to quantify why something is complete sh#t is a truly wonderful thing!

26:39 Well aaaaactually - 🤓🤓 That is not to prevent reverse engineering. To save cost (at huge quantities) , they use a chip that is not packaced, like a typical IC would be. Instead they glue the silicon die directly to the circuit board and wire bond to the copper traces. The black epoxy on top serves two purposes. Mechanical support so the tiny wires do not break and to prevent light from hitting the die. An exposed die is light sensitive - some more than others. So again, made the cheapest way possible :D However it is a well known technique and pretty reliable.

Linus I think you’re jumping the gun here at 6:55. It could be to help the user find the correct USB port with greater ease. I mean trying to tell apart my two keyboard USBs in the back of my pc is a pain, so it could have been for ease of access. But still the mouse one is prohibitively large.
