- Hello and welcome to "Mystery Tech," my friends! We have our good pal Kyle, Mr. Bitwit himself, here. - Hello! - [Austin] What are we doing here? - [Kyle] Why is he walking like that? Why is he so slow? - Both of you have a shared experience, believe it or not. - Ah. (all laughing) Wow! Wait a minute, why is my face in it? (all laughing) This was the only photo you could find? This is crazy! - I got to add.
- [Kyle] How come he doesn't get a face? - Who had the better thumbnail? - Ooh. - We were a little more simpler back in the day when Austin burned his house down. (ominous boom) - Sorry, what? - They're big for the era. - [Ken] I'm sorry, I mean, when Austin's house burned down. - Let us know in the comments below, who had the better fire thumbnail? (screen whooshing) Now that you have rubbed salt in the wounds, what is all this nonsense? - Yeah, I can't wait for round two.
(glass shattering) - [Alex. Maybe some actual tech. - Oh, Angry Miao? (cat meowing) Okay, wait, now that's actually tech. - [Kyle] Is it cat ears? Is it cat headphones? - [Matt] Oh, we love our cat headphones around here. - I already have a few of those. - How are you doing? - I'm doing horribly, thanks for asking. - Oh, okay. What the hell is that? - [Kyle] This is a. - [Austin] It's like a skeleton mouse? That is about the most aggressive, like, hold it with your pinky.
(high pitched tone wobbling) - Yeah, that's like, what, that's probably like 35 grams or something like that. You say 35? What are you doing? "Price is Right." - 42. - 42. - 46! - You're way on top of it. Because I used to, no, never mind. (trumpet warbling) (group laughing) Oh, no, it's a hot swap battery. So when you're ready to put the battery in, you just (mimics clicking sound). It's cool though. - It is cool. - It's all magnetic, right? - [Austin] You literally just snap it on.
- [Kyle] Yeah. - Have you ever used any of these ultra skeleton mice? - I have not. I feel like it'd be wasted on me. Because I don't, I'm terrible at gaming. - [Austin] I just worry about grime and dirt and Cheetos getting inside my damn mouse. - [Ken] Just wash your hands. - Yeah, you can just wash. It's called a bath. - Like wash my fingies? How much was the Angry Miao mouse? - [Alex] It typically retails for about $150.
- [Ken] I got it from Kickstarter for about a hundred because I was an early backer. - [Kyle] Look at this! - Wait, there's extra stuff? - Look at it. "World," what is that? - [Austin] World? - [Adriana] Looks like a cup. - Yeah. (group laughs) - Don't touch that! - No, no, no, no! - Don't you, can't get the (duck quacking) away from that box. (group laughing) Open the box, bro. - What's in the box? - It might be a head.
- Finalmouse Centerpiece Pro. Okay, the fact that you had to buy it from StockX makes me deeply concerned. The Centerpiece Pro feels like it's got to be like some fancy ass keyboard, right? - Sure. - [Austin] Like, "Plug your Centerpiece in "with the included USB-C." - I hate it already. - [Austin] "Wait for your Centerpiece to boot, "this usually takes 30 seconds." What kind of keyboard takes 30 second to boot? - (laughs) And then at the top it says, "Welcome to the future." (laughs) - That! (laughs) - What? - Ooh.
- Wait. - Ooh. - Yeah, what. - What is going on here? - What? Why would you want this? This is a dumb, what? - [Kyle] Oh, is this the one with the screen? Does it have a back? Have you see the one with the screen? - [Matt] Oh, it's a. - That's even dumber, I hate it even more. - The koi fish and (duck quacking). - [Alex] It's almost like that would've been a better moment if you just plugged it in instead of showing it. (Kyle laughing) - I like the switches. - Got the box?
- Whatever switches are in here are nice. - [Ken] Yeah, it's pretty good. - Oh! - Hey! - Let's go! - [Kyle] Alright, baby. - [Austin] Mr. Bitwit over here had, past tense, a store with a bunch of like merch on it. - That's how you create demand, bro! - [Austin] So just, I mean, wrap the, wow, wow, wow. - Tracks pretty well? - That tracks really well. Try that. - It's the mouse pad, but yeah.
- It's just a mouse pad, of course, of course, (group laughing) (camera zoom whirring) Oh, and "Unreal Engine loading." This thing uses Unreal Engine? - That's crazy, oh look at it, yo! - This is the koi fish! - This is the koi fish. Like I really need another reason for my cats to (duck quacking) with me while I'm at my desk. (group laughing) I'm not going to lie, that looks pretty good. - [Austin] Wait, there's no function row here? Uh-oh. This is a test of the. - But look how pretty it is. I mean, it doesn't even matter.
- I should screen record, but I don't have a function row, so I'll just apparently pop (drowned out by talking). - You also have. - A whole other keyboard on the laptop! - An entire other keyboard. (all laughing) - So you can change, obviously, all of your key binds. Oh wow, wait. Okay, let's do a "Marathon" one. Can I just, oh, so you can do an overlay and you can do the actual, like whatever you want on the bottom. Oh, okay, so you've got the Windows Vista background. - [Austin] I got to say, that's a little better. - [Kyle] I don't like that. That one doesn't look as good. - No, that's bad, no.
- What is this, Flappy Bird? - So can you actually play a game on the keyboard now? - You have to be able to. - Oh, it's loading here. - [Ken] (laughing) Does it run on UE5? - [Matt] Photorealistic Flappy Bird? (laughs) It's just a bird. - Let me just. - What are you. - Let me just pour you some (coffee splashing) coffee from way up here. There you go. - [Austin] What are we. - Just while we're waiting. - Where is that coming from?
- [Kyle] Sip on that. - I feel like I'm a little bit of an AvGeek, and I don't know what World Airways is, and I feel like I. - Wait, did you say AvGeek? - Oh, my God. (group laughing) - [Austin] Aviation! - Oh my God, look! - (laughing) AvGeek! - [Kyle] Nerd! - [Matt] God, I want to shove you in a locker (laughing) so bad! - Let's watch you mess this up. (key clacking) - So it does work. - Oh, you're the logo?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - [Kyle] You're actually not jumping over anything. - [Austin] Yeah, like where. - Oh, wait. It's jumping even if you don't do that. - Oh. (Matt laughing) Come on. Oh, oh, oh! - [All] Oh, no! - [Ken] Oh. - [All] Oh! (high-pitched beeping) - I think we just peaked every mic in the building, ow! (Matt laughing) - How much does this thing cost, this one? - Oh, God. - Oh! - [Matt] If you bought it directly from them, it is $350.
- I will say, I like the fact that it's a unique keyboard. I need lettering on my keyboard. I don't know, I just. - This is something I would just buy as a flex, like to impress my friend. - For a flex, yes! - [Alex] People are reselling this for like seven, $800. - But how much, ahem, did we pay for this keyboard? (cash register dinging) - [Alex] $590. (Austin groaning) So that is cheaper than a lot of people are reselling it for. - [Ken] Yeah, we got it for a steal. - No, you should've stolen it!
(screen whooshing) Well, that was fun. Except the whole fire thing. - Yeah, we don't. (glass shattering) Talk about that, what is this? - [Both] Vault-Tec? - As a fan of Fallout, I feel like some of the Fallout merch is really weaksauce. Dude, some of this stuff is so cringe. (razor scraping) - What are you, what is going on? - [Alex] Why do you keep doing that? - Okay, so this is. - It is a Pip-Boy.
- [Austin] It's a Pip-Boy, okay, all right! So here's the thing. I've only used the Pip-Boy from the Fallout 4 Collector's Edition, which was fine, but very plasticky. Now, I forget which vault was 33. - [Alex] I think 33 is not, is TV show only, not video games. - Oh, TV show. - Oh, yeah, oh. - [Austin] Holy (duck quacking)! - [Alex] Yep, that is a proper die-cast replica. - That is pretty cool. - Please update your Pip-Boy at The Wand Co dot Pit-Boy.
Oh, The Wand Company made this. They do a lot of the high-end movie replicas. So they do the Harry Potter wands and a bunch of other things. Maybe, oh, there you go. - That was a satisfying. - Oh, dude, look how. (zipper zipping) - Whoa! (zipper unzipping) - What, what, what? - Oh (duck quacking)! Like I said, I haven't played the games extensively. - Yeah, no, I won't. - You can do it, don't be shy, dude.
- All right. (group laughing) - Get in there, get in there. (all talking at once) That looks cool as hell, though. - It does look cool. - They look so cool. And it's like, it's heavy, so it like feels good, but not too much so. - Too much. - Where you just feel like. - [Matt] I just want to wear that around. - Tired. (Pit-Boy rattling) There you go. - [All] Ooh! - That's so cool! - That looks so good! - Dude. And I like how the glass is like a little bit curved, too. So there are two versions.
There's the Fallout 3 version, and there's the TV series version. Oh, it's resetting. Okay, so we're upgrading the firmware on our Pip-Boy. Apparently it has an actual, real FM radio. Flashlight. - Yeah, you can go. - Okay. - That's the flashlight. - And then the rad meter. - It's just the green. (rad meter clicking) - Oh, (duck quacking). - Oh, nice! - That seems. (Kyle laughing) You don't want to hear the clicks!
The clicks are bad! - Oh, it's. - Too many bananas in here. - That's what I was saying. - You know what? That's accurate on many accounts. - Yeah. - Whoa! - [Alex] What? - [Kyle] This is a real radio? - [Matt] That's what it said. (creepy music playing) (jaunty classical music playing) - [Austin] Wait, what? Oh, I think that's probably the radio in the show. But it also has real FM, too. (upbeat music playing) - Oh, that's real radio! - That's real radio. (laughs) (upbeat music playing) - That's max volume. (laughs) I like the clock.
- [Alex] Yeah, I think that is what the stand is for, so you could just always use it as a clock somewhere. - [Ken] Right! - Look, obviously, this is a very expensive, I'm sure, toy. It's probably designed to be in demo mode on the stand. Just like, you know, to show off in your nerd cave for all us AvGeeks out there. - [Matt] I don't think that's making it through TSA. (Kyle laughing) - How much do you think this cost? - 300 bucks. - 300?
- Kyle, what you may not know is that sometimes we forget we bought stuff. This was released (laughing) when the show came out. - [Kyle] That was like two years ago! - You've been sitting on this for that long? - [Ken] It's because. - [Matt] Well, I haven't been sitting on it! - [Alex] Okay, we bought it at retail for $200. - Oh, that's actually fine. - This is actually pretty good, to be honest.
Oh my God, that really dug into your arm. - Yeah, look at that, I've been working out. - I'll put it on just to make sure it's nice and safe here. - [Matt] Why is there's so much extra room on it? (group laughing) (Kyle laughing) - He has to wear it around his leg! (group laughing) Put it on your thigh. ♪ Set the world on fire ♪ (glass shattering) - [Ken] Did any of the glasses inside this box break? - What glasses? - Including this little Air World dish.
- [Austin] Why do you keep bringing things out? Is this like from a prop house or something? - HAPCO International World, dude, this is, you paid for that, bro. Let me top you off there. (coffee splashing) - Thank you, I appreciate it. - Of course, sir. Enjoy your flight. - (laughing) Don't call me sir. It's fine, it's totally fine. (glass shattering) - Air hockey? - [Kyle] Finally, something that looks like I can afford it.
(Austin and Kyle laughing) - That insurance money not in yet? - Yeah, yeah, (scoffs) - Oh! - [Matt] What's the worst part about air hockey? - The fact that I suck. - [Kyle] Or that you got to wait for a dumb family to finish their game. - [Austin] Yeah, (laughs) that's true. - [Matt] Now, what if you didn't have to wait for the dumb family? - [Austin] Okay, so we've got a little, like, little puck guy.
- [Kyle] Oh, oh. There you go. - Ah. So basically it's just built-in so you can play yourself. - Oh! - Okay, cool. - This is like nut shot city. (Austin laughing) - Oh yeah, true, oops! - [Austin] Let's play it on a big old thing of Kyle. - What is the, oh, geez. (all laughing) - Oh dude, look at that. - It's so sweet. - [Austin] It does work really well. - [Alex] It's almost like we planned this. (group laughing) - [Kyle] I got to, you got to hit it against the wall. - Trust me, in this scenario, no one wins.
- [Austin] Test me against the wall. - Are we doing, we're doing it on the table? - Let's do best of three on the actual table. But if it goes off on either side, it doesn't count. It has to be directly. - Directly on this side. - Oh, okay. - Oh my god. (puck clacking) - (duck quacking), that's going to happen every two seconds. (both laughing) How is this even. (all laughing) - [Austin] Are you trying to tell me that the game of air hockey is meant to be played on a specific table for a reason?
- [Kyle] Like an air hockey table? - Maybe. - That's crazy! - [Kyle] It's possible. - [Matt] Like, the puck itself is impressive. (metal clanging) - Yeah, well, at least this has got to be cheap, right? This was probably like what, 15 bucks? - [Matt] Yeah, add a couple zeros to that. (laughs) - What? - [Alex] It was $21. - [Austin] Not bad. You definitely need to still find a table for it, though. - [Ken] It's mesmerizing though.
- More of these would be great. - We're flying high right now. - That was a good pun. (screen whooshing) (glass shattering) - Oh, God, broken. - That was expensive. (box contents shuffling) - Pokémon cards? - No, there's actual, like, empirical data. Every time I talk about Pokémon cards, the retention on the video goes zoop! So Pokémon, Pokémon, Pokémon. - L. - [Austin] Is that the Anbernic? - [Kyle] No, it's an A-Y. - [Austin] Oh, It's an AYANEO. - [Kyle] AYANEO, oh, AYANEO!
- [Austin] Oh, sorry, AYN. No, Thor, Thor. But this is the Thor, right? - [Matt] AYN. (all talking at once) This is the Thor, correct. It's half of AYANEO. - So this is an emulator that is dual-screen, specifically, I assume, for DS and 3DS games, right? - Not just, people. - But, like, primarily? - [Ken] Yeah, yeah. - [Kyle] It's running Android? - [Matt] Yeah. - Brother, give that a feel. Is what I say all the time to my friends.
- Ooh! - Whoa, whoa! - Yikes! - So, I've heard a lot of people talk about the Thor. It's actually fairly powerful, right? - So, this is the midrange one. - [Austin] The Pro version, the Pro version has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. It's got a six-inch, 120-hertz display, and a four-inch 60-hertz OLED on the bottom. It has active cooling, 12 gigs of ram. First of all, this looks fricking great. Like the fact that you've got the sunken sticks that are like nice and RGB'd out.
We have a lot of games here. What's your favorite DS game? - [Alex] I assume that you would just do Pokémon. - Well, I. - Yeah. - Okay, fine. (Kyle laughing) Oh, dude, that actually looks pretty good. Oh dude, that looks good. - [Kyle] Nice. - [Austin] And because it's such high-res screens, actually, the pixel scaling looks pretty good. - Did you already preload games onto this or, okay. - [Ken] Alex already set it up earlier. - As with all of our legally-dumped ROMs.
- Of course, why, of course. - Shh. - It feels good in the hand. The screen is super clear. - [Ken] On the higher end of this, I've been seeing people emulate like GTA 5. - This is sick. Like, honestly, I have no notes. How much was the AYN Thor? - [Matt] So, I pre-ordered this years ago. - People have just literally started getting them this year. - [Alex] Literally this year, like end of January is when they actually started shipping these out. So, the one that we have here is the Pro, that's $400.
(video game tone plays) I mean, it's a little expensive, right? But if you kind of want the ultimate emulator Android little duder. - I could play so much "Raid: Shadow Legends" on that. (Kyle and Ken laughing) Unironic. - Not sorry, not sponsored. We got more? (glass shattering) - Hey, what the heck? - [Kyle] This one's already unwrapped. - Wait, GameSounds remote headphones for the Nintendo NES.
Wait, it still has the price tag of $100. Wait, this is from Lost Levels? How long have you (drowned out by talking)? - We found it, we'd never seen it before in our lives, and we were like, "We're gonna buy this thing. - [Austin] We used to be, our office was near Lost Levels in Claremont. Shout out, an excellent video game store. But that was like four years ago. Have we had this sitting around for four years? - [Ken] We have deliberated giving this to you so many times, but at every step of the way, we keep forgetting that we never had a working NES. (laughs) - Wait, so it's just a wireless transmitter?
- [Kyle] It just transfers the TV sound to your headphones. - [Austin] To your headphones. - So if you're playing "Custer's Revenge," you didn't want your parents to know. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hmm? Oh my God, look at that, dude! Look at that! - Whoa! - [Austin] With this old foam, we had an old pair of headphones earlier, and they crumbled. Is this in. - Ah! - [Austin] Oh, it's actually, no, it's fine. It actually looks okay. You know what's crazy though? It's not yellowed at all. - True.
- It's actually like incredibly clean, considering it's been seeing this package. - This is, the console is. - Oh, for sure, yeah. - Yeah, like this used to be the same color. Before we even try it, you paid $100, how much is this thing going for on like eBay? - Are you trying not to. - Be very careful with that. - Being very careful? - [Matt] Why did you not tell us this before?
- How much are people selling it for? I can quickly put it back together real quick. - [Matt] People are selling it for like almost $300. - Whoa! When we're done here, we'll gently put it back and no one will have any evidence that it was ever open, right? - [Ken] Yeah, with your typical ear juice. - What is this, a headset for ants? Look at how small this is. - [Matt] The flashing blue screen is a really good sign. - That's not encouraging, yeah.
- You got to blow in it. Did you blow in it? - No, I didn't blow in it. - Blow! (Austin blowing into cartridge) - [Matt] You call that a blow? - That was a weak blow. - Censor that. - [All] Hey! - Without fail. - Okay. - Good enough. - So I don't know if it's just doing a thing or what. - Sounds like the Pip-Boy right now. (headphones clicking) Think I hear it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - [Matt] The thing is, if you think.
- Oh, (duck quacking). I like looked at it and then it (duck quacking) up. Hold on, how do I turn the volume up? - It's low and high, isn't it? - Oh, is that it? - I think so. - Oh yeah, it is. ("Super Mario Bros." video game music playing) (group laughing) This is the best it's sounded so far. - Let's try it, let's try it. ("Super Mario Bros." video game music playing) - You're not getting a high score on this. - I'm doing it.
Oh, (duck quacking). (static buzzing) - We lost the signal. - Oh no! (Matt yelling) (group laughing) - [Austin] This is cool. I mean, clearly way ahead of its time. Like, it's a neat idea, right? - [Ken] There's also, the fact you can use it as an FM radio. (somber music playing) - Yep, tune out your parents deciding which Christmas you're going to go to this year. - Oh, yeah. - Yep, yep.
(screen whooshing) (upbeat tropical music playing) - What? - Ah! - American Airlines? Okay, now wait, I know that one. What? Where did you all of this stuff for like. - Oh! Sir. - Yeah, what? - This is yours. - What are we, okay, so it's just a pilot costume? - I think you need to, for all of us. - Y'all didn't get a jet, did you? - You can't afford a jet. - I know. (cash register dinging) Not with the way these guys spend the money.
- [Matt] For the record, I offered. - I've never flown a plane, but I will. - [Matt] I offered to go get our pilot license with him, and he said no. - Yeah, actually he did. What if I crashed? - Win-win. - Then I have no one to blame. There's no shirt on it, It's just the collar part. (Alex laughing) - What, you were expecting two shirts in this economy? - There's also no pants! - [Alex] Also, what kind of AvNerd are you that you didn't know what World Airways was? - I've never heard of World Airways.
- [Matt] So, it was mostly for transporting troops. - [Austin] Then why would I know what that would be? - I said mostly. - Dude, this flight's going to crash and burn! (group laughing) You see a pilot walk in with this tie, you know you're (duck quacking), dude. (group laughing) Yeah, once they shut down the government, every pilot looked like this. - Yeah, yeah. (Austin laughing) - So now that I have successfully graduated from Spirit Halloween Airlines, I'm excited.
- We'll just get this out of the way here for you. - [Austin] Wait, there's stuff back here! - What? - Just move it, move it. - I'm moving it! - We told you to move it! - [Kyle] Looks like you're about to take a piss. - Sorry. - Okay, wait, hang on. Wait, let me actually think about this for a second. - [Alex] No, don't think, just do. - I want, no, no, no, I want to take a guess here!
- [Alex] (laughing) Stop, for the love of God! - [Matt] So, we know that you were bummed you couldn't get a private plane. - Yeah, that was the only reason why I couldn't do it. - So we bought you a private plane. - Yo! (laughs) - [Matt] Dot. - [All] No, no, no, no! - [Austin] This is an actual real airline seat? - [Alex] It is an actual real one. - In fact, not only that. - Bro! - [Ken] It came with the safety briefing.
- It even came with the barf bags. - I will use those soon! - You know, it's not exactly a jet, but it's the second best thing. - It's basically all the best parts. Does it recline? - It reclines. - It does, yes. - Oh, look at that! - Oh, yeah! - So not, wait, wait, do you. - [Alex] Yes, that is real too, that is real. - Yep. - Yep! - There's the app. - Whoa! Oh, God, oh, God! - You're lifting up the whole, no, no! - Prepare for some turbulence!
(airplane whirring and dinging) (tone beeping) (lighthearted music playing) - If you're unfamiliar, underneath every airline seat, there's one of these guys, which is the flotation device. Do not inflate this inside the aircraft. Step outta the aircraft and then pull the tag. - When they say your seat can be used as a flotation device, the seats just pop off. - You can float! When you fly on Spirit Halloween Air, we've got you covered. (airplane dinging) (tone beeping) How did you get this? Where did you find this? - [Ken] This is just something that someone bought in auction, and he just has a stockpile of random airline crap.
- They've been treated well by Southwest Airlines. - No, they were not. - [Alex] No, this is after Matt spent. - I spent. - Like half a day cleaning it. - Ew! - So it looked like a normal coach seat. - [Matt and Ken] Yeah. - [Austin] If I sit down here, like this is. - [Ken] Yeah, where the camera could see you. (laughs) - Yeah, it's okay. (all laughing) If you. (Kyle laughing) - [Ken] He's talking to the wall? How much do you think we would have paid for this, though?
- I can tell you pretty confidently that when this was new, Southwest for one of these sets of seats, probably spent like 10 grand. I know it's. - Austin, Austin, Austin. It's not a jet. - It is a. - They're not jet seats. - (laughs) He's calling you poor! Get your lip gloss, you're going to kiss us on the mouth. What we had to do is, we had to go pretty far to get these, and then we spent $300 on the seats.
- What, what? - On the seats, yeah. - [Kyle] The keyboard was more. The (duck quacking) koi. - (laughs) Yeah. - That's probably what this freaking single life jacket cost! (hands clapping) - Unzip, boys. - What, what, huh, what? (Ken laughing) - [Matt] And all this memorabilia was just in a pile outside. Just he was like, "Yeah, anything in there's a dollar." - Like the video, subscribe to the channel, check out Bitwit. And in three, two, one.
(air whooshing) - [All] Ooh! - And until next time, thank you for flying Spirit Halloween Air! (mellow music playing)
