welcome to my unboxing and first look at the SteelSeries free which contrary to what you might believe having heard the name of the product costs money not very much money mind you it's not super expensive but it is it's super freedom enhancing which is I think what they were going for with the name but what it sounds like is that it doesn't cost anything so there it is tiny little game controller which has huge huge functionality especially once we get into a little bit more about it and you guys understand what's going on here so first things first we've got a QuickStart guide which is thick they should call it a thick Start Guide yeah alright how to configure your free on different devices carrying pouch USB cable Quick Start Guide Android iOS including iphones ipads ipods pc mac general information pairing mode buttons end of english so what you guys may have figured out based on that is that there's a SteelSeries sticker inside as well as a little guide to their free product family and the flux product family which i also have here which is some pretty sweet baller looking headphones ah what you may have figured out is that this is pretty much universally compatible with any number of different platforms and it is for playing games now the first thing that came to mind for me is holy crap i have a bluetooth controller that is portable and wireless and convenient and i can use it to play like SNES games on an emulator on my android tablet holy freakin crap of course that's not what we're supposed to use it for because nobody has any SNES games on their tablet on an emulator because that is not what you do no playing other games however if you have other games that'll work with that - so you got a pre bog-standard configuration it's perfect for SNES games although you won't be playing those with a left and right shoulder button a d-pad starting so I mean a and B as well as Oh No yeah sorry sorry a BX sorry 1 2 3 4 those are the other buttons however you got a couple of analog sticks which actually they're a little stiff but they'll probably loosen up in time they feel pretty good not bad considering again the cost of the controller and the size so you got a couple analog sticks in case you want to use those for you know other games that you're not playing on an SNES 8 well I mean you're not playing any games on this this joke sold um charging you get about 10 hours of intense gaming with the device when it's got a full charge and around 20 plus hours of casual gaming where you're sort of using it sometimes and then not using at other times and I don't know what he's pointing at I don't know what he's pointing at poor slick ok belenko oh you wants to know the cable doesn't matter the cables just for charging well yeah you could but then bluetooth anyway so it's cordless but slick wants ok fine it's this long it is one Linus arm length and one Linus chest width long and the other than that I guess let's just look sort of closely at it and how awesome it is and how small it is oh you know what this might be kind of funny so this is it next to my hands so you can see that I will have no difficulty using this now I'm gonna go ahead and take the camera from slick and I'd like him to hold it in his hands so if you are a large person like slick who's basically a giant it might not be perfect for you I hope they come out with like a free XL or like you know freed something and it's a little bit bigger but for now this is perfect for girls children and men with girly hands thank you for watching and don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips
