ahh yes... the Snpurdiri
I'm getting an aneurism just looking at the name LMAO
For those who may not be aware, if you buy from Amazon and the SKU starts with X00, it may or may not be used. If the SKU starts with LPN, it was definitely used
Damn, this should have been a video where you and Matt were lawyers and Austin was the judge, missed opportunity
Matt was out for 2 weeks due to surgery, but it would have been cool to make another one of those videos!
@@DNKI Don't get me wrong this is great too, hope Matt recovers soon, would love to see another one of those videos. Cheers
@@DNKIwho the hell is Matt
lol both controllers vibrate, so one goes on the lap
the other controller was playing IRL Fall Guys off the table 😂
😏
Ayo what 💀
Thank you for bringing the personal data security issues up in this video. Not a lot of creators address the issue in videos, and viewers should be informed so they can protect themselves.
Enough people comment about Temu and privacy on these videos, so this was the perfect time to address the concern.
That's true but aren't Amazon also guilty of that?
@@JohnM-ex4be Basically ebay, amazon, ali & temu in a nutshell lol
They’re all guilty of it, plan and simple.
All places will sell your info, it's just a question of who's transparent about it. Privacy kinda went out the window when the internet came along. That's price of whatever capability and/or convenience the internet has gained us. 😉
The color of the temu controller it like that ipad case that Dankpods uses in his video
I was wondering where I recognized that green from 😂
19:02 Wtaf this has no business being such a good mic o.o, I'm sure it has zero noise canceling or much if any sound mixing, but still that had no business being that good.
Great video! Love the callout of both sites! Random question, and sorry if you said it and I missed it, what laptop are you using? The one with the cool “slash” on the back? Thanks!
I love the random eclectic style of videos paired with Ken's personality... Great content... Keep it up
if both controllers vibrate at the same time... why did he put it on his lap🤔😂
I needed to test it... thoroughly
one time i put my controller on my lap and vibrates so much it made my pp hard
Did you try going through steam to see if that controller worked over Bluetooth with a steam profile? Usually fixes those issues.
Just found your channel and I must say, you are hilarious! Enjoyed the reviews :) I am now a subscriber.
I use to use Power A controllers, they just had one problem with them, if using daily, I'd get stick drift in under 2 months of use, on all 4 of the ones I purchased. Switched to a cheap voyee controller and never had stick drift again... make this make sense
IST THE GUY FROM AUSTIN EVANS
That red dragon keyboard+ mouse combo looks like a steal for 40$
i personally wouldnt the keyboard looks cheap plasticy and its wayyy too big
For 40$ usd in India you can get branded mechanical keyboard with Logitech g102
Great review! Efficient and bright!!!
What laptop is he using to test the headphones ! That white laptop looks so cool.
I had a Red Dragon setup for awhile on my first gaming laptop. Pretty decent stuff.
The mic is so good!
I had a pair of the turtle beach headphones for years they were awesome
i just got the red dragon keyboard combo love it.
I would bet that you could use the wireless controller with a switch and that it will show up as a pro controller. If so, when connected to the pc over bluetooth it's not using x-input, but nintendos protocol which for example steam can interpret. Or you could use a application like betterjoy to convert to x-input
Proudly brought to you by Amazon
Love it !!❤
You can buy those $8 light bars from Dollarama in Canadian stores (varies by location) for five dollars or less. Exactly the same product and also in Canadian rubles so even more cheap.
The switch controller not working wireless on pc is a problem for every switch controller
The design ad killed me :D
Anytime you have a physically connected controller and try to use a wireless controller windows usually ignores the wireless one in preference of the wired one this is a very common thing and you might want to consider next time not trying to connect them both at the same time. :) I should clarify that this has been true of every wireless controller I have PS4, PS5, 8BitDo they all get ignored if they are connected while a Wired Controller is connected. So I'm just basing this on experience. :) Also great Vid 😎
Would love to see you do something similar but with mechanical keyboards, including maybe some modding supplies (foam, lube, different switches, etc?)
Already almost a year plus satisfied user of "black" Razer.
3:19 I'm pretty sure you have both controllers connected to Bluetooth and it's only responding to one
The green one was probably on player 2...//
I’ve had two of those power a controllers. They worked great, for about a year and a half, and two years for the other one. I’m currently just using a DualShock 4, now that steam supports it, I actually prefer it over the Xbox. Just need to get a DualSense next.
So far liking the comparisons, between the two companies. I guess it's just up to you. On which to go with. But you do get what you pay for 😂😂😂
I've used a few PowerA controllers for my xbox, they're quite popular here as they're the cheapest xbox pads you can find that have adaptable buttons on the back. For £25 it's not bad ($30ish?) but had severe stick drift within around 3 months making it unusable. U get what u pay for I guess
The controller isn’t going to take priority with BT when an “Xbox” controller is plugged in via usb. You have to use one or the other and one at a time.
what laptop is he using?
19:02 That mic is insanely good for a 17 dollar headset
You should go head to head with the Snipinduri keyboards from Amazon and Temu.
PowerA controllers are known for poor build quality and they break a lot. Not something you see in a 2 minute game of Fall Guys. Something to consider if you'e looking for a controller. You're paying a moderate amount for a product with a really short life time.
Hmmm, the "pro controller" buttons are XBOX style, A and B in the same place.
Bought a new Asus monitor on Amazon. They sent me one with their Warehouse deals second hand sticker on it. Wasn't happy.
My guess is that the white Razer mouse is legit but maybe it's from a region that requires different legal mumbo jumbo so the insert in the box is changed.
i see ado, i see u r man of culture.
I'd love to see an episode with just mechanical keyboards from Temu. I'm curious if they are good
I feel like there is still better options on Temu and AliExpress im not sure what Ken was thinking ordering a 3D plastic mold nintendo switch controller. There is way better options like the gamninga P48 which is a PS5 replica for only 12$
I’m planning to shop at TEMU soon.
Wireless likely didnt work because your controllers both being connected labeled the temu controller as "Player 2" in windows.
How the imposter mouse have the same price as the real one?
I bought the same switch controller from Temu for 10.14 with tax. In Temu, you need to wait for the right moment and price difference is substantial.
There are 4 different modes of connection can even Bluetooth to your phone example . Different buttons to sync to differently
I used the universal gamepad mode since that was the only one that would remotely work for Windows. No dice.
@@DNKI its the home button and b is how you get it to 360 should be 3 flashing lights the last one of the right wont be lit up. wost part about the controller is you cant remap anything unless you use xinput or something similar . but for 14 bucks hey switch, phone, 360 , and universal and the build quality is pretty good .
Lets make a Mad Catz Controller vs Tenmu Controller comparison, I don't know if there are any MadCatz Controller for the latest gen, but lets make that happen anyway 😆
Great video 🙂
Redragon is really good and cheap, I bought their wireless mechanical keyboard for like $40
PowerA controllers are ok as a budget controllers but the real cheap versions do develop stick drift a lot faster so I'd avoid them
16:22 "You really start to wonder where your $50 is going"
- Warehouse space: The way that Temu works is that sometimes the listing is for something that a manufacturer *is going to* make. That's part of the reason why it takes so long for some items to arrive; they're waiting to figure out how many to make. Amazon on the other hand has a ton of goods ready in two days, one day or even same day, so they need to pay for somewhere to put the stuff and people to deal with it near where people live.
- Risk of unsold stock: Since the manufacturer knows exactly how many they'll be making, Temu isn't stuck holding the bag on things that don't sell. Amazon has to turn to liquidator companies.
- Import duties/taxes: By law, if a shipment into the US is under a certain value, it isn't subject to duties because it isn't worth the time for the customs agency to process. The random stuff that people buy from Temu usually fall under that limit. When a retailer like Amazon imports stuff though, it's hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars worth of goods at once, so everything has to be declared and duties have to be paid.
- Middleman profit margin: Margins for a retailer is usually a multiple of the wholesale cost. If the latter is higher, than the margin amount will be higher too.
The power a controller literally has the worst stick drift know to man I had one for a month and it was crippled
I'd love it if you could round up the best of the best cheap and mid range tablets to review that are not Samsung or Apple. There surely are better tablets out there?
I'm honestly surprised Amazon swept the board. Not to speak well of Temu, I just figured it'd be pretty much the same products on both sites, just pricier on Amazon. I think perhaps there should be another version of this where you purchase well reviewed items still, but ones without such known name brands. It would offer the real comparison of the cheap knockoff Chinese junk on Temu vs the cheap knockoff Chinese stuff on Amazon, which is most of the results after you pass your one or two Razers or Turtle Beachs. That said, I have to say I have been pleasantly surprised with the couple of super cheap mechanical keyboards I've gotten from Amazon. Haven't been brave enough to buy one off Temu yet
you can get a Mechanical with some chinese key for less 30$ in India (at least)
I think the temu deathadders is legit though. And it’s probably the same price because of the color. If it were me I would always go with the white deathadder essential. Maybe a comparison with the same colored mouse would’ve been more appropriate. Either way its seems that temu isn’t a bad option.
I bought that exact same controller (the green one) and couldn't use it on my Xbox. It said it was a 3rd party controller. I have 3 power a controllers. And absolutely no problems. I like the button set up on the power A's 2 instead of 4. On the back of the controller. It feels so much better. Makes me regret spending all that money on the elite. Shit the series x controller feels better to me.
It's because Microsoft only allows certain controllers that paid for that sticker on the product box to be used with the console. If you plug the controller into your computer it would work just fine. I think the wireless issue was because the buttons needed to be setup in steam or through the utility on windows to work properly.
I buy stuff from temu all the time. And have mostly been satisfied with what I get.
I heard about temu selling people's card details so I use PayPal when I use temu
another japan vlog soon???
For that switch wireless controller, you're going to need a wireless adapter that connects to the switch (like Bigwon) or a bluetooth adapter maybe
It has a universal gamepad mode for wireless, but it didn't work
@@DNKI it usually take out several tries (which is what i did & it worked) but it's a real hassle, so i don't exactly recommend it
Temu gonna give you the 1 dollar controller but it is a god controller😂💀
Ok this dude isn’t as annoying as Austin, glad I took a risk on this recommended video lol
i have a whole set from temu:
mechanical keyboard 60% switch blue: 3€
mousepad xxl with purple drawing: 0€ with coupon but it wouldve been 10€
mouse fake glorious model o: 0€ but it woulve been 15€
coiled keyboard cable: 8€ but i paid 0
i'm using this over my amazon setup which i like paid the keyboard 50€ and logitech g502 40€
"Immediately."
Enjoy that Power A controller for the 6 months it will last before suddenly failing for no reason and never working again!
Power A is the new Mad Catz.
Waiting for your nothing 2a review
I do not really get the Temu fad, you can usually get the similar or better items from AliExpress for cheaper, so if I am going to buy somewhat questionable direct from china stuff I would just get it from there. Although Temu shipping is a bit quicker as they have a US warehouse I think. I saw a fake Razer DeathAdder Essential mouse on AliExpress for about $8 and some light bars for less then $4 and a huge amount of game controllers and keyboards. It might be interesting to try to get some similar stuff form them and compare.
I know a Stadia controller when I see one...
Temu lets you shop like a millionaire. But it will take months to get your item.
you can buy the mageegee off temu :3
The Gamesir G7SE beats both of these.
ahh yes the red dragon
Love the disclaimer. Also hate it.
Power consumption of the govee is a bit much.
bet the amazon light listing said that it was refurbished and u just missed it
Love the end. Thank you for covering the data protection issues with Temu. 💜
Ok when ken was playing fall guys i saw my tag wtf thats kinda out of body for me 😮😅
Or the xbox controller was taking control (pun intended) over the temo special
Good vid😊
The wireless didn't work cuz u have the other one plugged in so it takes priority
Good cheap mice exist. I wouldn't buy a knockoff, just get a no-name with good reviews.
I really don’t see how you can compare two different items to each other when one item is meant for complete customization 🐉
came off a bit brand dealy, wasn't consistent on if the temu products were side by sides or just completely different products, price varied too, but amazon remained consistent,
I normally really love Ken's content! < 3 this video just felt a bit off, like it was written/ planned/ directed by someone other than Ken
simperderrrrri
i got a red dragon mechanical keyboard for 20$ why did you get this crappy one ?
None of these are fair comparison
Temu is underrated af, I brought a badass FlyDigi wireless universal Bluetooth controller that works on all systems (iOS , Android, Windows and Switch) over 2 years ago and its still going strong.
Temu controller for younger siblings...
who cuts your hair bro
Damn, still promoting Temu. RMB payout must be nice.
absolute terrible posture, blames keyboard for discomfort :P
Most of your data is already everywhere from bank systems fucking up so that not a concern as for credit card info just use card number proxies that most companies will give you that isn't the same as you're actual card number or Paypal so they don't give them your actual card numbers either. I love all this fear mongering when it comes to your "personal data", banking systems, hospital systems and the like are constantly being hacked so your info is already out there and being sold to brokers. Every website you've every shopped on has probably been hacked and had customer data stolen.
Why would you not start with a like for like comparison on the controllers? 2 Xbox controllers or 2 Switch Pro style, 2 wired or 2 wireless...not one of each. You even say it's comparing apples to oranges so it's kind of pointless to give the 'win' to one store or the other. Maybe a wired Switch Pro would've had better overall build quality that could've matched up to the Xbox controller due to less expense on the bluetooth transmitter. Weird start to a comparison vid.
Those PowerA controllers are garbage, horrible for stick drift
Amazon and Temu are essentially the same now
Only Temu has fake mice bruh
Temu is bit of a downgrade but you do get some odd tech
