this a couple days ago worth buying a ps4 for absolutely love the first one how does this one hold up talking about Red Dead Redemption 2 and like over 200 replies basically going back and forth between ps4 versus Xbox one which is the better console to get everyone's got an opinion of course and while I did see very compelling arguments on both sides apparently the Xbox one X is the only console right now that supports native 4k at 30fps for this title and that kind of turns me out I think the strongest argument for the ps4 that I've seen have been the exclusive titles now when it comes to gaming and me I probably play one game a year and right now Red Dead Redemption is the only title I'm interested in let alone have time for but if it really comes to the point where I absolutely have to play an exclusive title on ps4 later down the line then I might just buy that console too the other thing I was thinking is that it's been years and years and years since I've actually gamed on a game pad a controller and after a bit of research I discovered a well-known and highly reviewed product that allows you to use a keyboard and mouse more seamlessly with an Xbox one this is the xim apex keyboard and mouse adapter it's a 130 125 geez it's expensive but I already bought one just because whatever company card and while you can't already use a keyboard and mouse on an Xbox one without this product this basically gives users more control and added support so you can do things like download game specific profiles to ensure greater keyboard and mouse compatibility I also discovered there's a whole community of people who use these xim products and basically discuss you know on the forum pages just exactly how well certain games are supported and being the super hot game that it is right now of course there's a Red Dead Redemption 2 thread already going and apparently there is not yet a solid keyboard and mouse profile for this game although there is one in the works by one of the guys missed for fun I believe who is well known within the community for for producing and creating these really really functional profiles so even though I'll be picking up the X I am apex later to I may not be able to get the keyboard and mouse functionality working just where I want it to be it'll probably fall short of a full PC experience but at the very least I'll have all the main ingredients ready so by the time that profile finally hits I should be able to have somewhat of a PC like experience with Red Dead Redemption too now like I said this is already on its way so I have to pick it up later today at an Amazon locker center but in the meantime let's go get ourselves an Xbox 1x what'd you say why the sauce what'd you say yeah wifey sauce the kind of girl who buys her own line for lunch for the pizzoli hmm you said listen it's a good line lots of juice in the caboose that's gonna be zingy it's just me yours a little chilly in here big news funnier joke kale hold your applause till the end please you know I was thinking about creating a new YouTube channel about potatoes but I'm afraid of all the taters I was gonna do a little food experiment here just to smigiel I'm stirred up oh yeah that's good hey where are the potato salads a little wine who was standing up in the movie theater citrus down it don't boo me it takes guts to get up here okay or I was just never funny to begin with and you were just fake laughing the whole time this conversations gotten really depressing for me can whyphy sauce did you know that this potato salad is non-dairy I bet the cow farmers are feeling utter defeat right now did you get that one and now we can get an Xbox one next Walmart or Target which one no hi do you have any Xbox one X units in stock hello hello hello the hell's going on meet a call but that's gonna make a difference you are luckier than me let me try one more time hi can you hear me awesome I was wondering if you have an Xbox 1x currently in stock what you do and they don't play the music for you on hold why this house has to take a call I'm kicking her out of the car you guys come first until worse than that a fully grown wifey sauce in her natural habitat on the phone okay there's there's no way you can hold it for me if I'm if I pop over there right now is there okay well then I'll just I'll just haul ass over there right now then all right thanks man all right dude have teammates to see targets yachting in and in in hey I was wondering do you guys have the Xbox one next oh that one yeah our out the game's downloading slowly but surely we're about halfway done and it looks like our xim apex just got delivered to the amazon store I'm actually kind of excited because this is an amazon brick-and-mortar store first of its kind in this area it's actually near the UCI campus or the University of California Irvine so I'm kind of stoked let's go check it out it's like it's a sort of a DIY thing that's me all right it's downloaded friggin finally we are ready to rock this is literally all that's included with the sim apex yes I've been calling it xim apex this whole video and I watch the tutorial video it's apparently said now I feel stupid see the little business card with URL Tong you how to get started the USB hub this is literally just a sim branded USB 2.0 hub you could even use your own if you wanted to days they'd they advise not to use USB 3 it's got three ports one for your keyboard one for your mouse and one for your controller and here's the actual controller that makes the magic happen so you plug your peripherals into the hub than your hub into the stick and then the stick into your console so here she is how it sort of looks when it's all set up I'm a purr if Schenectady I've got the corsair k70 RGB platinum and the corsair m65 pro RGB knows it may Peck supports a lot of different kinds of mice and keyboards the chances are yours is probably supported too but they do have a full compatibility list on their website now this is far from a plug-and-play solution as soon as you plug this in your keyboard and mouse are not going to work right away you actually have to download the sim apex manager app which supports iOS and Android and that's where you'll find download and apply all these various game profiles now they call these profiles st's or smart translators and every game needs its own one because every game has a different look mechanism for example and I did see one for Red Dead Redemption 2 so it looks like there's one for first person and this one might just be for a third person and look at Xbox one right there ooh I'm getting kind of excited now let's check this out requires your game sensitivity to be set to maximum your game may also need additional settings change to ensure optimal any performance view latest game settings information now yes okay so it looks like for certain games you actually have to input some settings manually for the configuration or the profile to work as it should and there's even different profiles and settings you have to set for a third person and first-person perspectives for example because each of these have their own look mechanisms so let me punch these in really quick alright so after you've set your profile within the manager app you can actually check out all your P bindings and you can even edit these if you want so you can press like cover and when it says listening I want it to be n so press n and now it's in but I don't like that I'm gonna change you back to G you can change your aim sensitivity here for firing at the hip or abs or aim down sights for games that have it alright the moment we've been waiting for let's see how this thing game surprises the beginning of the game creating much and it looks like we're about to get into a firefight so I can talk about combat in a moment but first impressions so far keyboard and mouse have very low latency there's hardly any lag it's very responsive keyboard is working almost flawlessly from what I can tell but the the mouse the issue with the mouse is the sensitivity now you can adjust the sensitivity with your your actual mouse and within the game as well as within the manager app and I'm done all I've pretty much configured it the best I can but there's still an issue with the in-game turn speed there's a maximum turn speed apparently that the console games have that literally limit the speed at which you can turn so if you're like doing a flick of the wrist it still takes me like 1 2 3 4 full wrist flicks for lack of a better term in order to turn 180 degrees which is way too sluggish for most people all right let's do this keep the Wolves from Xavier being good test oh jeez oh jeez oh come on reload Daniel oh jeez sweet killing those wolves was surprisingly easy but actually getting that third one having to do the 180 turn was a royal bitch because of that turn speed limitation so when you're actually when your targets are closely grouped together and you don't have to move a great distance between them the sensitivity is fine but you notice the tremendous slow down when ya we try to do some longer turns then it really pulls you out of the game I would say it's tolerable at best but I feel like that's really gonna bite you in the ass if you're trying to play multiplayer eventually when that when that finally comes out so I think at this point I would rather just play this game with with a gamepad and probably just get used to that experience and wait for maybe a better profile to come along if if there can be one to be honest I'm not sure if a profile will be able to get past the turn speed limitation in this game that seems to be an unsolved mystery for now so there you have it guys this is my little journey trying to get Red Dead Redemption 2 to play like a PC in the end I felt kind of short but you know what it was a fun learning experience and hopefully you guys got something out of it let me know in the comments if you guys liked what you saw today and maybe I'll do a part two follow-up video assuming I can get this pesky Mouse to work properly in this game till next time though toss alike on the video if you enjoyed it get subscribe for more tech content on the way and i'll see you guys in the next video
