so I'm a bit of a stickler when it comes to controllers there are so many on the market that it's hard for them to impress and easy for them to just piss me off perfect example let's take a trip down memory lane and check out some of the highlights from my high perk in retron 5 review from 2014 speaking of the included controller it's garbage mocchi acceptable straight-up puke worthy it squeaks when you spin it obstruction rinds against the stick unpleasant horrible feeling abysmal latency funky blah latency issues comes with a controller which will just add mass to landfills so yeah make any controller and I'm not going to shy away from calling you out especially if it's wireless but make a great controller and an impressive wireless solution and you have my complete and undivided attention this is analog and 8-bit DOS retro receiver for NASA and snez along with 8-bit dough's matching controllers and let me tell you they've got my attention and they should have yours too let's find out why cooller masters master case maker five features they're freeform modular system allowing you to customize adjust and upgrade make it yours at the link below input devices are like tools you should use the right one for the right job when you can a keyboard or mouse isn't generally the greatest experience for a racing game and a racing wheel while it would be fun in a silly way if you can get it to work is just an idiotic pairing for a game like counter-strike go continuing this theme I prefer to play platformers with smaller retro-inspired controllers that don't have extraneous things I don't need joysticks specifically I really like nests and snez controllers now both of the 8-bit dough controllers which will cover more deeply later on can officially connect with iOS Mac OS Android and Windows through a simple Bluetooth connection which will allow you to play new platformers various d-pad based games and more including the morally grey area of emulated games but first I want to take a moment to look at their retro receivers for both the Ness and thus Ness these compact little devices look like someone just clipped the cable off of the plug end of a controller and added a little micro USB port a sync button and a light which in my opinion looks great functionality wise they're surprisingly flexible they can be plugged into a Playstation 3 a PC or a Mac through microUSB and uses a high quality just straight bluetooth adapter or they can be plugged into an original ness or snez unit an analogue NT or some other form of aftermarket Nasser's ness that uses the original plugs cool once you've got all that hooked up you can then officially pair it with PlayStation 4 controllers PlayStation 3 controllers wiimotes Wii U pro controller z' and various 8-bit doe controllers and arcade sticks they transmit data over bluetooth 2.1 + edr class 2 and the experience is I'm happy to say fantastic with minimal latency unlike that terrible terrible retron controller let's jump back now to a more in-depth look at the 8-bit doe controllers along with the wicked connectivity options that I mentioned above most importantly the nest 30 and snez three do something that many have failed to achieve they feel right with the perfect retro inspired gray ribbon cable attached I think you could convince most people in a blind taste test that this was the real thing and if you're any good with Nasser's nest controllers this helps with more than just pseudo authenticity I mean the classic controllers made by Nintendo were good for a reason not just because they were original but because they were responsive and felt right like the games were specifically designed to be played with them and it helps that they were relatively hard to break - something that I don't intend to benchmark but seems to be true with these replicas as well but back to new functionality in order to cover all of the bases 8-bit dough has included a variety of modes in which the controller can run including a touchscreen emulation mode where you can drag and drop input pass throughs so that your inputs to the controller translate into inputs to the game which can be a huge benefit because I hate playing anything but turn-based games on mobile due to crappy touchscreen input and you get some other goodies like multiplayer support on iOS and the nest 30 even including a clip on the back called the X Tanner which you can remove to prop up your phone this shouldn't be confused with the other X stander which clips onto your controller and your phone sort of mimicking an Nvidia shield this product with the exact same name is totally different obviously but if Linus tech tips was going to let crappy product naming hurt our overall rating of a product the Razer Blade would be the worst laptop three years running and it isn't so all in all I wasn't even sure if I was going to review these but after spending time with them they just work they feel like NASA's nest controllers they can be wired or wirelessly transmitted with the retro receiver they can even be used with the original or aftermarket nest source nest devices which I like to use along with modern computers smartphones and even a Playstation 3 if you're more into that so great work and Allah an 8-bit doe there isn't really much more I can think to ask from these products so I guess I'll end with that today we're talking about I fix its protec toolkit it's been completely reimagined but it's just as rugged and portable as before it includes the new 64-bit driver kit which replaced the former 54 bit driver kit and there are tons of magnets the 64 bit kit itself is held to the front role using magnets and as the shell is able to be taken off with magnets as well it can be used as a like parts tray there's also a newly redesigned swivel top precision driver which I personally like a lot and the Flex extension that you know from before for hard-to-reach places there's precision ESD safe tweezers including a pair of reverse tweezers and a wider variety of plastic opening tools and picks to safely work on tablets and smartphones in certain iOS devices and whatnot and you're backed by I fix its lifetime warranty and if you're like whatever man I already own one just go check out their guides they have tons of guides on tearing down a huge amount of electronics so ifixit.com slash Linus and use code LTT at your checkout to say $5 on your purchase of $10 or more thanks for watching guys if you liked this video like it if you just like this video dislike it if you want to buy products like these checking on Amazon I don't actually know if these are on sale on Amazon but they might be I'm not entirely sure if you want to see some links view description down below of like where to buy a shirt or something those should be there as well and check out this video if you want to see the old retron 5 review thanks for watching and I'll see you next time
