so here's your problem on the one hand you're a gamer and you've got your gaming rig in your gaming monitor and you've got some important gaming to do and on the other hand you're a total basic bitch and you own that so today is the basic gaming setup where we will be creating the best gaming desktop it bleep tanner we can order with only products from Amazon basics Origin PC origin PC builds custom desktops laptops with free 24/7 lifetime tech support and they use high-end brand name components like Samsung's 970 Evo Pro and got two SSD visit origin PC at the link below for a special offer okay well you don't have anything to put that on yeah I know I'm just I'm completing as much of the setup as I can right now there why not utilize yeah I'm going basics monitor Stan okay so basically if your monitor doesn't come with a height adjustable stand or like I mean it doesn't have pivot does it no it doesn't do that either so basically it's just height adjustment I think it tells that she'll pivot hands Ken its advertisers only at supporting 24 inch monitors but I've read you can put a 27 inch on there but your mileage may vary in terms of the pivot you might not be able to get into portrait mode but who has a 24 have we investigated whether it is actually cost-effective to buy a cheapo monitor and then put a basics stand on it I see this is the thing I'm not sure how many people actually need this on the one hand it seems super obscure but on the other hand Amazon is making this product so must be in demand isn't the whole thing with Amazon basics but they do the most in demand stuff okay you did it oh it's not like I wouldn't describe this thing as amazing hear that sound well it's a little too heavy you're gonna have to tilt it for sure okay I'll hold the base the base is not very heavy wait a second I think we're gonna make it I wonder if people are trying to rotate it like this and they're not realizing that on even a lot of likes factory stands you have to tilt in order to rotate and I'll give you an Amazon basics DisplayPort cable how much does one of these gonna cost me six bucks depends on the length though that's a six footer that's not bad it's only outfitted for a DisplayPort 1.2 though so even though that has the same bandwidth as 1.4 there are some some features I mean the thing with that though is that there's no actual pin difference so it's just a matter of like what they're comfortable rating it at is quite possible it worked just fine for DP 1.4 it just might not Wow we bought a PC power cord I hope it didn't cost much we literally have a gigantic Rubbermaid bin of these yeah but do they have the Amazon basics does that actually Sam's on basics on it no I think it's a pretty generic gas-powered quart well it was $7 a lot of people were giving it one star because they said that these holes were too small what I think they're trying to just plug so for those of you out there who are even more basic than me that's how it is intended to be used and it works just fine nice nice snug fit perfectly adequate basic but adequate the other end is gonna go into okay just free outlet surge protector wall tap with two USB ports so you plug that bad boy into your wall outlet and you get a quick charging a regular charging and three outlets now to be clear about recommending plugging a wall tap into a Power squid but we're not really drawing a lot of power here so that's one amp that's 2.4 amps the second thing to keep in mind is at the top a negative comment is entitled lit my house on fire they're safe the amazonbasics cable sleeve with zipper 20 inch black 4-pack so this is actually kind of cool basically you just put your wires in there and you zip it up now that you got that set up it's time for you to sit down in your $70 amazonbasics chair I have a chair yeah lots of different chairs this one was just kind of cheap and easy actually it's not that bad I will say that the the cushioning down here this is a this is a pretty like it's a pretty hard like a pretty firm cushion which is actually a better thing than you might expect because if you have like a really plush cushion what happens to it over time is it just becomes not really a cushion and then you're just sitting on the piece of what is usually plywood on the bottom amazonbasics microfiber cloths or electronic how many things did you buy the next thing is pretty much the reason we actually made this video it's because they made this this is the Amazon basics mechanical feel gaming keyboard okay so it's got five programmable macro keys this should be worth about twenty seven ninety five is thirty six okay it's not far off no I wouldn't buy this there was a bunch of actual mechanical keyboards I mean granted they used yeah I need switches but so I'm never in the $40 range $45 maybe they were trying to go from mechanical sound cuz you've got a couple keys that sounds kind of you can't like loud loud I think what they should call this is the loud membrane keyboard mouse followed by the free button USB wired mouse oh you made poor Tyler inventory all this stuff Oh a desk pad alright what do you think would be a good price for that I'd pay $14.99 well you actually did paid $24.99 so that's their anti fraying strategy it seems to be to burn it and they end up with actually quite a noticeable - there's a shine to the edge and it's kind of sharp you know what I just wouldn't buy this actually I would just buy something better we have no internet oh that's too bad maybe what you need is the rj45 cat5e Ethernet patch cable from Amazon basics thank you or if you prefer the USB Wi-Fi sure you know what I don't prefer the USB Wi-Fi adapter but I'll open it anyway just to humor you adorable it's happy to see me see this seems fine are you see things a little stiff actually this is apparently not an amazing cable the jacket is prone to cracking and when it does well it'll crack along the length of the cable on a cable this short like 15 feet it's less of an issue where you really run into trouble with this these cheap outer jackets is when you have a longer cable and you go even if you over/under it when you wind it up for storage you'll still run into a situation where you try to kind of you know throw it down and it's just a kinky mess I probably wouldn't buy this either I've had my disputes with monoprice over the years but credit where credit's do they're cheap cables are less cheap 63% oh you could probably use a little charger here using Amazon basics USBC a USBC cable it's a little better than the network cable I wouldn't describe it as amazing though to their credit though they're using the more expensive connector housings that don't have the split down the one side they cost a little more okay well there was supposed to be a gaming headset but I think it's a pretty new amazonbasics product so it takes between one and three months to ship so even though we got it in October it's not here until like mid December so I got I did get you a little blue to be a portable bluetooth speaker great but that's not enough for your desktop setup micro-b did they not have like a sound bar or something it really does not sound very good ultra the 4k HDR model so this is interesting it seems like the way that the audio profile is tuned even the standard profile it's really emphasizing vocals and I can barely even hear the background music of this video you notice that like it's just it's just like a dialogue enhancer for your TV I mean PC gaming is so complicated why not just stick to console gaming oh wow they do an Xbox one clone controller well that is a weird texture oh yeah can you not hear that it's got like a really kind of grippy kind of feel to the back here is this hard to be backlit okay so it has different modes it can go off okay there's a different color this is breathing different colors yeah it's hard to me okay is that it well I think if you want more functionality you need to install the Amazon basics keyboard software now the keyboard is not good the sound bar is not good unless I was just trying to hear you know the Weather Channel better you know the other thing with the sound bar is that it's supposed to come with a remote but ours just didn't what the oh wow I just got killed by easy BOTS anyway I can't stand to watch you struggle with that free quick basic Mouse here they do make a gaming mouse I do prefer the mouse to the keyboard so there's that we get presumably dpi adjustments we get a back and a forward button which are bait I would consider basic features in the year 2018 not present on this one and we also get a braided cable which I was recently made aware that not everyone prefers because apparently they can get snagged on stuff to my experience I don't really get my braided cable snagged on thing also has onboard memory so you can save your configs on the go cool and 3200 dpi okay and $24 actually feels a little bit jittery at super high sensitivity it's definitely more comfortable than the other one quite heavy though like surprisingly heavy given how well basic it is this is too boring you should be yelling at your teammates with this professional USB condenser microphone alright more basics the most gratuitous packaging in the whole lot it's got a one of those standard mounts so that you can put it on an arm if you're into that sort of thing it actually has height adjust as well okay give it a chance you know what it actually does straighten out a fair bit so this is what I would sound like if I was yelling at my teammates they're actually talking more normally to my teammates you can see I peaked a little bit there so we're gonna go ahead and experience that there's no tactile feedback oh wow and that is let's see that is quite a bit that is quite a bit quieter now and we are getting up into the range less often so and my Blake broadcast thank you for that are you these next two things are kind of better if you are trying to get a one chord solution for your laptop like your docking your laptop and making it into a desktop you might want one of these you know this is a weird complaint but this chord is kind of long you wouldn't be saying that if you were trying to plug that into the back here of course everyone right now that's true so what it should really be is detachable it should be a Type C to type C and then it should just come with a cable and you should be able to swap it out that's that would be better there there's our basic placement for it so this is a USB 3 external hard drive enclosure you get to provide your own hard drive comes with a couple little foam inserts which are presumably to keep your hard drive safe if you have a thin hard drive I don't know the top is metal but the majority that part is pretty plastic this is this is it this is what holds you drive I guess you just stick it to the top of the drive that is very basic at 20 bucks is probably fine this is a very low quality USB cable that's included like that is very thin for a USB 3 cable so the side with the branding and not the like FCC sticker on it goes down if you don't want to put like strain on the connector or have your drive supported by just this one point here so I'm yeah I don't like this one very much than this oh the external hard drive case yeah this is very mediocre for 6 bucks it's fine for any more than that I probably I would probably opt for something else the amazonbasics multi tip stylus for touchscreen devices that's an interesting idea so multi tip stylus instead of just shipping it with multiple tips they just used every possible end of a pen type device to put a different tip so you got a big fat one you got a medium one and you got a skinny one yeah which is that's seven six and five millimeters respect okay so you could go fat skinny fazt medium or skinny medium like there's kind of a lot of mush to them I don't think any of these are really fine or sharp enough to really write with now you probably have more success if you had a nice comfortable amazonbasics footrest actually that feels not bad it's got grip unlike the IKEA ones that we use here at the office it's not as high though I don't think I'll give it a shot also one thing I already don't really like about it is that it's it swivels too easily a lot better overall feel and thus kidness on the floor than the IKEA one but it just if you just kind of man I don't even know if you just took like some some silicone crap and just kind of like gummed it up a little bit or something I think you could I think you could you know for less than a dollar you could DIY it better oh this is five thousand sheets and Amazon basics paper wha-hey it's fine let's take your new Amazon basic stapler for a spin really is it like I say it's a safety mechanism well that sucks because often like if you want if you want to staple something to the wall or whatever you open up the state plain you just oh that's a bummer yeah those shoulder ones are so loud yeah like this is not this is not great I mean I still manage to score one goal yeah go line this butt so how do you feel about your hit twenty one dollars twenty one but you know what 421 bucks I'm pretty okay with it quite frankly so how do you feel overall about your new basic battle station you know I like the DisplayPort cable one advantage we didn't mention before is that it doesn't require the lock so it's just a self-locking one you don't have to deal with like pressing the thing in order to unlatch it these cable management sleeves honestly if you're trying to get something done quick they can improve the look of behind your desk a fair bit come on I bet they yeah like that helps a lot and they're neoprene I like the monitor stand believe it or not I think at 40 bucks I'd probably rather have one of the ones that just clip onto the desk personally but if you don't want that if you just want to convert a vase amount monitor to this or replace a broken stand honestly I'm okay with that one the gaming mouse is alright actually it's it's I think it's too heavy to really like game on it like I would consider it more like just a mouse but it's fine the grip on the side is makes it easy to lift off even though it is a little bit on the heavy side and not not a big fan of the keyboard a big disappointment in the keyboard at 20 bucks this is fine I actually stopped noticing that scuffing on my arm pretty quickly maybe I was just busy filming a video and wasn't paying attention but it seems like less of a big deal now that I'm your mileage may vary on that mileage may vary oh good cable that's working this cable seems fine I don't know there isn't really any conclusion like none of it really like blew me away but none of it was complete and utter garbage actually a couple of them were pretty bad the ethernet cable was bad I wouldn't use this hard drive dock and I wouldn't buy this keyboard there are much better keyboard options didn't blow me away but you know what does blow me away Squarespace my amazing Segway yeah to Squarespace with
