The "glob top" chip at 26:39 isn't an anti-reverse-engineering measure in this context (like you will see in some guitar pedals); it's actually a manufacturing cost reduction measure. At certain large manufacturing scales it can be cheaper to buy the raw chip dies, bond the wires on the board, and then smear goo on top to protect it. (I can't quite wrap my head around it). The term is "chip-on-board."

[@DerinTheErkan]

That "anti reverse engineering schmoo" is actually literally the IC package itself in that case, if you're pumping out a bazillion cheap boards it's more cost effective to put a bare die directly on the PCB and run the bond wires onto the board without a package in between. You then need a blob of epoxy to keep everything in one piece.

[@mechanoid5739]

Agreed! Look at cheap solar lights PCBs!

[@Cyber_Akuma]

That's what I thought too, I recall seeing that blob was always being a sign of cheap/knockoff electronics (it's a big and obvious tell for if a cartridge-based game is a bootleg and not an original for example). I was confused when Linus said it was to prevent reverse-engineering.

[@fliptrontube]

Agreed, not anti reverse engineering schmoo. The correct terminology is Chip On Board (COB) and is very common for high volume, low complexity products. For example, the very common text LCDs that show 2 lines of 16 characters, are universally COB construction. Greeting cards that have any electronics (music, voice..) are also COB. All digital Calipers too. The black epoxy provides environmental protection of the chip, but even more importantly, it protects the thinner than hair bond wires between the chip and the PCB.

25:28 What you are describing is rollover, not ghosting. Ghosting is when you press a certain amount of keys, and you get an unpressed key outputted. Rollover refers to how many keys you are guaranteed to be able to press. Pretty much every keyboard made today does not have ghosting issues. Due to this confusion, marketing teams will use the term anti-ghosting because they know that most people do not know the difference and assume it refers to rollover. As a rubber dome over membrane keyboard, this keyboard has 2 key rollover, not 3 (I would guess pressing W, E, & D would prove this). The 6 key hard limit is because they are using the basic USB keyboard driver which only allows a max of 6 keys even if the board itself were to electrically support N-key rollover. This limit with USB is why in the early days, some gamers would prefer using PS/2 keyboards.

Addressing the 5k dip on the Arctis. It’s a very common issue for closed back headphones/headsets. A common issue with engineering closed backs is phase cancelling, and one of the problem frequencies (even with good engineering) is commonly in 4.8k-5k range. Obviously, by the differences in measurements by the Arctis and the Tommy, engineering a closed back headphone is hard. It looks to me like the manufacturers of the Tommy just slapped a driver into a closed off chassis and called it a day where Steelseries actually bothered to r&d their product (probably because they did).

There is a technical error in the mouse parameter section: CPI and DPI are two different concepts, CPI is the mouse sensor parameter; DPI is the parameter of the entire mouse. CPI is a sensor characteristic. It refers to the number of counts of the sensor for every inch the mouse sensor moves, reflecting the minimum distance the sensor can recognize (for example, when CPI is 10, the sensor moves the internal counter +1 for every tenth of an inch. The controller can calculate the actual mouse movement distance from the value in the internal counter when fetching data). DPI is a mouse feature that tells the computer how far the cursor should move (in pixels) for every inch the mouse moves. The CPI is converted to a perceived DPI by the internal controller of the mouse.
