6 Desk Setup Accessories that are CHEAP and Useful!

[@godminnette2]

Small correction, the original SP did not go to sleep when the clamshell closed. The DS did that, but the SP would stay running with the screen on when closed!

[@Sonic6293]

Yep, sleep functionality would have to be programmed into GBA games, not a lot have it. The EZ Flash Omega Definitive Edition has it built in to the firmware though if you want to do it.

[@WorkFromHype]

thank you for the correction. I also owned the silver DS and my brain must have combined the memory of leaving pokemon games on sleep for days on end lol.

[@RedBeardRetroTech]

A company called anbernic makes an sp device that can sleep!

Just a heads up, You are supposed to removed the old pads when installing the "skates".

[@roman_empire24_79]

facts

[@opalshemesh1]

How do you remove it?

[@roman_empire24_79]

@@opalshemesh1 use your nail for something to pick at it. Then remove all the old adhesive.

[@DeezelxDr3amz]

@@roman_empire24_79 yes i just carefully used a smallish knife / box cutter or something similar like a smaller nail file would even work, make sure when the old ones are off that you also clean the old sticky glue off too otherwise the ending fit on the new mouse skates will be wonky

[@anhhy5486]

For people that asking "why", your mouse sensor also use the distant between the sensor and the pad when tracking, and for something more sensitive and fine tuned like most high end gaming mice it simply stop tracking cuz people do lift the mouse up for even just a mm or 2 as a way to stop the mouse.

To be honest I watched this video because I saw the gba on the thumbnail, and I was like “how can a gba be a setup upgrade???”💀

[@hbr6545]

For some reason the only product that actually matters is never included in these reviews, and thats the KVM swithc so allow multiple computers to share same monitor, keyboard and mouse. That is the true king of accessories when you work from home.

[@riffdex]

I’m a big fan of KVM switch, you make a good point. People watching these types of videos would benefit from having a KVM included

[@Kahunapunk86]

Can you disclose in the description which products you got for free? It'd help with viewers understanding how much bias there might be for any "reviews" espeically when it comes to making a purchasing decision

Saw the grinder in the thumbnail, which is definitely necessary on my desktop

[@transfixit]

the MX 3 already glides so much that I routinely make it fall of my desk by just bumping into it, so I'm not surprised the update doesn't make a huge diff

[@NL0Gwenster]

yes, the stock skates are pretty good. but any skates wear out over time. so you'd have to replace them eventually.

[@flytelp]

Different mousepads have different speeds. Ptfe skates will still be slow on a control pad like the type99, gsr, or qck. If you want real speed then a glasspad or glass skates on a fast pad like the artisan raiden or shidenkai will slide like ice.

[@vlad_cool04]

I used my mx 3 on the floor and after replacing skates it became way better

[@riffdex]

Considering he was comparing the new skates to the weathered skates on his current mouse, and didn’t compare it to a Logitech mouse out of the box, I wouldn’t be surprised if the new skates were a 10-20% over skates that have been used for a period of time, but practically no difference from the brand new condition original skates.

[@Are_Em_Dubya]

Thank you for the advice on the emulator. Seems like a good tool to keep near my digital desk, for passing 30 minutes or so.

You can do this with a software called sound switcher.

[@funYPILZ]

There is a program for switching sound at 2:20 Its called soundswitch and i love it.

[@notwoez]

Just so you know for the MX skates (as well as other mice) you should remove the original skates, bare plastic should show, then clean off any residue and put on the new ones, in the vid it looked like you just placed them on top of the old ones

[@SeraphJo]

1:32 this is absolutely, definitely, unequivocally not how physics work you can't directly translate visual displacement into a "graphic" like that and say it was a 10~20% difference 😭 the forces at play in the gliding of the mouse are plenty, and they aren't linear. also, a difference in how much it moves when blown by air (given an initial velocity) vs the tactile and responsive feel when moving the device by hand aren't going to necessarily be related. anyway, kinda nitpicky, but that test had zero actual uses 😭😭

[@equinox7189]

A HOTO product! Been eyeing their stuff for a while, good to see one of the content creators I watch use them. :)

[@lehedonist]

that audio extension won't work with headphones with mics right? would've been perfect if it did

[@jlrebor2626]

doesnt... doesnt windows change the output automatically? i feel like i'm missing something, if he has an amp it would make more sense, but most amps do the change automatically to right? unless it detects the extension as a headphone and mute the speakers, the switch has no purpose in how he wants to use them, it makes sense if he wants to let them plugged in though

[@icecoldsnakeYT]

Depends on the audio driver. Realtek like most people have has the option to tie the speaker out output to the headphone jack on the front I/O and the option to automatically switch. But if using an external sound card like a Focusrite, an audio switch is useful to quickly swap. But with Win11, you can Win+Ctrl+V to quickly switch. Plus with a physical audio switcher you're introducing another link in the chain that can change the quality. Not for me!

I ended up getting an older model of the google hub for $59. .

Thanks for the MX mouse sliders link. Exactly what I need after having to open up my mouse to clean some junk out of it that was messing with the scroll wheel.

"Why not use a phone? - Phone gets notifications" You can just get an old (up to a decade old, you really don't need much from it) Android phone or tablet for pennies, permanently connect it to a charger, and use either as a monitor or standalone. No notifications (and you can turn them off if needed), large touch-capable screen, and ability to work standalone if your PC is taken up by something like a game.

I literally just bought the electrical components to build my own version of the audio splitter, and now all of a sudden I start finding products that fit into that niche 🤦. I'm not that upset though because my speakers, for whatever reason, are much louder than my headphones and just raw swapping the signal I would still need to adjust the volume on my laptop. The version I'm building is going to have independent volume control for each output to level the volume between the 2 devices.
