Daiso's INSANELY CHEAP Tech Stuff...

[@andromaxi3797]

That webcam is surprisingly good, especially for less than $4

[@niamhturner1451]

yeah, honestly the cheaper ones i find tend to look this good and more expensive ones tend to not look great

[@richardgarrett2792]

It is better than the 480p one I got about 10 years ago at Dollarama. Except for the microphone.

[@niamhturner1451]

@@richardgarrett2792 yeah Its at the point it'll not look any better through video calls

[@sykoteddy]

It also look almost identical to I think Microsofts old one with the same mounting. It's just that, that cam is probably around 15 years old or more.

[@DawidDoesTechStuff]

I can't wait to film Dawid does Blair Witch with it.

[@robsquared2]

It's cool that the webcam mic is getting audio straight from wherever the ghosts live in Insidious.

[@LiamDonoma]

This genuinely made me laugh out loud, thanks for that 🫡😂

[@ideebinss0]

yes i think he should talk to The winchesters

[@kevinkuo2004]

Guessing that headset is meant for phone gaming. Would explain the short cable and USB-C connector.

Thats what Bluetooth is for 😂

@jesusbarrera6916 no I'm just saying I hate having things plugged into my phone when I'm gaming 😂

[@Tyretes]

and they removed jack port on phones nowadays.

[@chrisbaker8533]

@@jesusbarrera6916 I've got several that cost about that, or less. Cheapest one's cost me $2 usd, and my onn, on ear's cost a bit over $4 after sales tax. They quality is ok to crap, the audio ranges from 'good enough' to 'make your ears bleed' bad, and the battery life ranges from total garbage(less then 30 minutes) to over 12 hours. Used to be able to get cheap-o bluetooth headphones on ebay all day for that out of china. Might still be able to on wish or temu, but i don't frequent those sites.

[@LogosPrime]

3:29 a very clearly diamond-shaped thing. Dawid: a tesseract! 😄

[@bulutcagdas1071]

Say you are streaming at 1080p, and you want to put yourself on the corner without taking too much space. Then you are probably looking at a window size of roughly 250 x 250 pixels. That means the 640x480 resolution of the web cam is somewhat mitigated :D

[@charlestrudel8308]

i mean, right about now in the video, his face was quite clear... so this webcam is not bad, its maybe even average.

[@MarioPL989]

It's even for remote classes or meetings when I don't want people to see dust in my room. People used to glue a piece of tape onto their 1080p cameras to get similar effect.

[@Dan-Simms]

It really is wild how cheap some things can be made, and how much some companies rip ppl off with prices 20x higher but only like 1.25x better quality.

[@gtr9794]

Small TMI) KR Daiso was 'once' the same branch of JP Daiso but few years ago KR Daiso announced that they had made a decision to buy all of stock shares of KR Daiso. It means they use the same name but completely different company

[@bitelaserkhalif]

Just like Korea Yakult

[@victorwong3311]

Just to add; the Daisos in US are JP Daiso, so these products will probably not be available here.

[@Tech-Nerdrome]

That's 10x "Option" zoom on the webcam, not optical. The option being that you move it closer to your face :)

[@patchwrk]

6:10 Point of clarity: In that context, that "f" isn't a stop number, it stands for "focal length", meaning it's a [crap] 4mm lens in SLR parlance, which gives you a rough idea of its field of view and performance at range.

Dawid Does E-Waste: Korean Edition

[@JayFochs1337]

[@HELLACRY]

Welcome back home Dawid! Hope you had a great vacation!! ☺️☺️ We also have a Daiso here in the states haven't visited in over 10 years. Never knew they sold tech stuff lol. Good stuff Dawid. 4:37 bless you! ❤️

[@Marbeary]

Goes to South Korea. Goes to Daiso Never change Dawid Never change.

[@jamesbyrd3740]

do they exist in the US or Ca? I have never heard of them

[@koghs]

On speakers, the wire is wobbly probably because it's only held inside the case by a knot that cannot fit through the hole. I saw it on newer super-cheap speakers and it was an extremely common way to make stuff cheaper in the past.

[@ThatSoddingGamer]

That keyboard is more flexible than I am.... But really, you can't expect much from super cheap stuff. Also, move the mouse pad forward and place the cat below it. Voila, it puts your hand a bit lower down and increases your effective mousepad size.

[@tvHTHtv]

For $3 a pop, the quality of the webcam isn't terrible and the mic on the headset was also usable. It's hard to gauge the quality of the sound from the speakers or headset through the video but for $3 each if they even produced any sound at all then you are getting a deal. I took a flier on some computer speakers from Temu that they were giving me for free. I was hoping to use them with my Microsoft Surface Pro to get more/better audio. However after using them I properly sent them straight to the electronics recycling bin. You could barely hear the audio with the volume cranked. The treble was definitely there but it lacked any sort of mids and bass response entirely. The tiny speakers on the Microsoft Surface put these things to shame.

[@SqueakyTypes]

for $3 that's a really good webcam tbh

[@uuu12343]

Oh yeah FYI, to my understanding, Daiso in Korea is a unique situation because it technically is no longer owned by the Daiso brand Like it was initially a daiso branch through and through, but recently (by recently, I mean afew years back), Daiso sold the korean branch to someone whom I dont remember exactly, but essentially, Daiso Korea is Daiso in name only, the owners cant use the daiso logo or name in any promotion and whatnot, it cant expand overseas using the daiso name

[@mxss115]

13:57 I think the fact that while the resolution is so low, the colors, dynamic range, and contrast are actually pretty decent is why it looks strangely good.

[@FrostyLucas]

It's amazing for that price

[@brianp3570]

I love how at roughly 4:30 Dawid sneezes out the plastic headset toxins

[@aaronwlkr]

The reason the volume is on the cable and not the speaker is, you would have to cast a different mold for that speaker, and that would rise the price, so bye bye bargain price.

[@spencerstreet5709]

Daiso Korea claims to offer a distinct product range compared to Daiso stores in other nations, operating as an independent entity. Nonetheless, they maintain the common slogan: 'Make unnecessary products seem necessary.'

[@iris4547]

ive frequented a daiso store in the philippines many times and have never discovered such treasures as these. that said. that webcam is 100% usable. id take that any day over one of those $100+ logitech ones that sold out during rona.

[@SoulMist17]

I kind of want that webcam now.

[@arch1107]

alot better than some laptops definitively

[@musashigundoh]

C'mon, who wouldn't want 10X OPTION ZOOM?

[@alphadog6970]

Got speakers like that once. They worked completely for 3 hours and a component in them burned out. What a wase of money and time for everyone involved.

[@Crafteyer]

6:15 It clearly says "10X OPTION ZOOM" though. Whatever that means...

[@Apokathelosis]

It's definitely not false advertising, as it's fixed at 10x zoom without defining what would be 1x

[@LittleTrader968]

That webcam is pretty good for a few bucks.

[@KontrolStyle]

13:05 webcam looks better than my 270 logi -- well done Daiso!

[@1Grainer1]

that cable thing in speaker is a normal thing for budget ones, there is a knot made with a cable to keep it inside and it's loosely soldered a tug would probably break solder so it would be repairable quite easily

[@MrMega200]

Less plastic to use and pay for during production. Basically cheaper than those older wired controllers that have plastic lugs built in to take the stress from the cable and not have the wire pulled out during regular use.

[@ed1659]

That webcam is perfectly usable and headset's mic is one of the best sounding mics in the world of gaming headsets that i've heard

[@GunmetalG]

That industrial metal for the "inspecting intensifies" section brought me back to the PS1 game Frequency. I cant think of the name of the band on that game but it was METAL. lol thanks for the flash back Dawid

[@Abadeez]

That flex on the keyboard is honestly impressive. That's a ton of flex for a PCB and solder joints. Also that webcam is shockingly good for under 4 USD.

[@keeperofthegood]

That is indeed a nice web cam, could easily record with it along with a good video source, use it as an effects real for overlays of saturation and granularity :)

[@etowngti]

As a San Franciscan who has loved Daiso for decades (they sometimes surprise you with their stuff), I am VERY excited about this lol.

[@niente1237]

The real treasure in Korean Daiso is alkaline batteries. It's 3,000 won (or roughly 2$) per pack, each pack contains 16 AA or AAA batteries.

[@Edgemaster72]

Normally when I come to Dawid's channel, the analog horror I expect to find is a mesozoic era VGA port, not today though

[@AndiNordsee]

2:53 The subtitles continue to crack me up. "USB and Orcs" 😂

[@mockier]

Manual focus webcams are good for watching 3D printers. I use a Logitech c270 on my 3D printer. Auto focus cameras tend to constantly try and adjust the focus, a manually set focus is less terrible to watch for problems.

[@boostar155]

I'm obviously very old now but I have inherited tools, white goods etc from my grandparents. Because things used to just last for decades. Am I the only one who fnds the contrast between shipping all our manufacturing to east Asia and the desire to be "eco-friengly" completely batshit crazy? We're just producing a mountain of cheap tat will last a year at most, when we could just make things that last several decades with minimal effort.

[@Miss-Foe]

I love Daiso, when I moved to the east coast and realized they're only on the west coast of the US I was pretty sad and I still miss my little Daiso trips, I've gotten a lot of good stuff from there but never have I dared to get electronics lol

[@drifter4training]

The mouse pad, usb fan/light, USB cables and HDMI cable rocks compared to usual costs at a electronic stores.. especially the stationery, miscellaneous stuff and fashion accessoires..

[@galeng73]

To nitpick a bit, that footage (and maybe sound) are better than VHS was. Though, there was a digital VHS thing that was actually HD. We'll discount that because nobody but your creep uncle had that tech and we all know why he wanted HD VHS. (Hint: Cat videos. He wanted it for cat videos.)

[@super0sonic]

That camera is really nice as it could look for that resolution.

[@RyanDeLaHaye]

I bet those speakers were headphones and the company changed out the "housing" from headphone to speaker. The wires move as they are probably directly connected to the driver like they would be in a set of headphones. Plus the In-Line volume control makes sense if they were headphones.

[@Geekeh_UK]

The thing with the cables is weird, it basically means they haven't included any strain relief, which they could have done for the price of a cable tie, or even just tying a knot in the cable on the inside of the case. The USB-C on the headset is actually kinda cool, it means it'll work if you plug it into a Nintendo Switch, or your phone, the only really sad thing is that it would have been better if they'd charged you an extra $0.15 to include a USB-A to C adaptor in the box.

[@necrojoe]

Adding the volume knob to the speaker itself means they need to double the mold tooling costs for the front panels, since they would need a different mold for the left and right.

[@vincent570]

surprisingly the webcam and the microphone didn't sound very bad at all...

[@mobnishi251]

The cam manual focus Is useful in many situations more than a shitty auto focus

[@Boogie_the_cat]

7:25 i was seriously worried about the direction that cat plushie was traveling in. He didn't need to bring it down there to use as a wrist rest. I think that stuffy has a hole in it, possibly a glory hole.

[@RavBunneh]

I love my Hawaii Daiso!

[@lemagreengreen]

$3.50 webcam is better than 99% of webcams I see on laptops and given TV news seems to be pretty much entirely random people talking on webcams these days we see a lot... and they're basically always terrible.

[@Phillz91]

If that was the gaming headset mic at 13:45, aside from the slight hiss, I have legitimately heard worse mics from $250 wireless gaming headphones.

[@madmosinman]

I've listened to those same Tarkov UI sounds though bad speakers as well. clicking on things in the menus can be piercing.

[@lokalzer0]

I agree with you about that webcam... something incredibly good about it

[@littleleelee2706]

Its funny how close to an old VHS camcorder that camera looks. It's actually sharper and higher res though. Its very similar to an old 1080i 3mos sensor camera I used to use many many years ago. I kinda like it to be honest. I have seen some other KZbinrs that will record themselves with old cameras for like VHS reviews and it would actually work great for that.

[@JaySee5]

The webcam honestly looks better than most laptop cameras! It's *SHOCKINGLY* good!

[@JDCarnin]

6:14 Measuring the f stop in mm was pretty common... 70 years ago. I collect (and regularly use) vintage camera gear, and almost all of them are labeled this way. Why they done it on the webcam tho, idk

[@shaneeslick]

Since I know Dawid is from the lower mainland, I thought he actually bought stuff from the Daiso we have over here lol. Not sure whether I should be glad we do or don't have these.. also for the locals who are old enough; remember the corner of Aberdeen centre? it's now "Oomomo" in place of the old Daiso

[@Nobe_Oddy]

No No, Dawid... the webcam ( @ 6:18 ) say it has 10x OPTION Zoom !! It must be one of those new fangled webcams that gives you a choice of 10x'ing or Zooming .... sounds high tech!

[@asr-studio1930]

david did you ty the mouse without the mousepad? maybe the mousepad was a tracking issue to it

[@PolecanePC]

Dawid suddenly found out an amazing retro set up to film new NewJeans music video

[@Jimalcoatl]

Korean Daisos are great sources of cheap crap. Sometimes they have great things. I found a cables sack at a Daiso in Cheongju that is a round zipper bag that is the perfect size to fit 5-10 couled up USB cables. It has a USB A plug and the word "Cables" in cursive printed on it. It's just amazingly build for purpose and it fills me with autistic joy.

[@rharbarenko]

The HISS on that headset mic was REAL! Noise canceling because the hiss is so loud it drowns out everything else!

[@gabrielcanlas5209]

That tarkov menu is already loud, Dawid. Those speakers make them extra loud.

[@davidgillham5302]

Hey Dawid! I was thinking a fun idea for a video would be for you to review your own home setup (pc, screen, all peripherals, chair etc).

[@Boogie_the_cat]

No. I want reviews of terrible products. How would it be funny to hear reviews of good products? No please, waste of a video

The headset mic was not as bad as I expected tbh, I’ve heard worse from $100 headsets

[@glittalogik]

A bit of filtering on the PC settings would sort out the background hiss, and the voice clarity was actually shockingly good. Literally sounds better than the best-selling Turtle Beach headsets LTT just reviewed a few days ago.

[@tiadaid]

[@Raintiger88]

Hmmm, I think I bought a few cables from Daiso, but never remember seeing the stuff you have. Of course, it's possible that the Daiso in my building (Kobe) just won't associate itself with the awesome electronics you picked up.

I have two of those mousepads i got on amazon, however they are huge(one on each of my desktops)(L-shaped glass desk) and they are totally fine

[@philtkaswahl2124]

That volume knob is there for those speakers likely because the cheap manufacturers use the same knob and wires for other el cheapo headphones and earphones. Streamlined production. :V

[@drizztcat1]

The fact that the speakers actually produce sound for $3 I consider a marvel of modern engineering.

[@Stakman1]

Think how much better the world would be if countries everywhere could get rid of e-waste like this. Will any of this last more that a couple of weeks?

[@kh1nav3]

[@JokaGaming2K10]

Even a 3$ webcam has more optical zoom than most modern phones

[@jameslake7775]

Dawid misread, it says "10x *option* zoom"... which probably means a digital zoom option.

Gotta love the cheap gaming peripherals

[@maolcogi]

[@Mox2077]

Daiso is not "cheap crap" .... it is cheap, absolutely, but the quality of many of their products is shocking good to the point where I've bought "high quality" brands at 10 times the price and realised that the Daiso one was better....that is...except for their PC peripherals...most of them are pretty terrible..but will work in a pinch. Oh and the webcam doesn't have 10x optical zoom...it has 10x OPTION zoom .... whatever that is ;)

[@1Grainer1]

when Dawid says that $2 mouse has better eronomics than apple... $100 one? that's gotta burn

[@glittalogik]

To be fair it's a pretty low bar, that Apple mouse is hilariously terrible. To this day I cannot understand how it got to market with the bottom-facing USB port so you literally cannot charge and use it at the same time. There would have been _months_ of design, prototyping, testing, and iteration sessions and _no one_ went "Wait, stop, this is fucking stupid"? It blows my mind.

[@TiagoFilipeCabral]

I want to see a video where people give Dawid, say, a bunch of different mouses and he has to rate them from cheapest to most expensive and of course, other types of peripherals.... based on what i have seen so far the best possible rating would probably be somewhat cheap
