What's going on boys and girls what's up world Austin John plays here and there's
no Nintendo news going on really there's something in Pokemon go a team rocket or
something we need someone to do great so pvp has recently announced their new
faceoff controller in which you're gonna be able to have native voice chat with
the Nintendo switch which you can do in handheld mode but you can never do in
dock mode with a pro controller or really anything so they were kind enough
to send this over and we are going to take a look at it today first of all the
box when I first got it I thought it was like a home pod or something because the
Apple home pod ships in pretty much the same exact thing oh there's a bunch of
stuff in here they sent me four controllers thanks guys
oh they sent me all the colors that's dumb the first one here is a very subtle
black and gray camo that one's really dope this one is a very subtle blue camo
actually it's a little bit louder than the last one this one is a purple camo
are you starting to see a pattern here it also is red camo okay so great I feel
like I should be wearing camouflage to match the controller's today the
packaging is absolutely beautiful it's high gloss so you get to see the
controller in full view as opposed to like the box that the Nintendo switch
pro controller comes in instead like that's some nice presentation that's
some quality plastic in there shout-out to you guys PDP doing it up alright so
let's open the red one and try her out people are like hey Austin why don't you
experience joy Khan shift I don't know maybe cuz I got a lot of pro controllers
and people keep sending me them hang on it's there's a lot of plastic here first
thing you know these are wired controllers absolutely hundred percent
wired controllers this seems like a pretty long cable though let's go ahead
and unravel this oh there's also a letter I should read the letter o
there's actually really important information on here it's not written to
me it's I'm assuming a lot of people got this so these are $29.99 they're gonna
be available July 22nd on PDP comm oh that was a week ago that's what I get
for not making content for a week and it's a
foot wire which is really great I mean in today's modern age you either have a
giant TV or you're probably laying in your bed or something playing games and
you can't be that close to the teat yeah that's clearly 10 foot cable let's take
a look at the controller itself all right so I'm a stickler when it comes to
the buttons on my pro controllers and also the sticks these sticks feel really
nice they feel responsive clicky they don't have like that same premium thick
plastic feel of the actual Nintendo switch pro controller and also a weird
part is that the outside of it is much higher than the inside camera number to
zoom in there great can you focus great so the actual shape of it is like
indented so your finger instead of resting gently on the top like for the
regular pro controller and then the sides having that little lip the lip is
much higher so I find myself not resting it here instead it's more like a mid
thumb it's comfortable on the mid some if this was just a little bit softer and
more matte of a plastic I feel like your thumb would grip it better as opposed to
the powered a pro controllers the buttons on here are pretty much the
exact same size as the pro controller which is really nice I like big buttons
and I cannot lie the actual controllers lift upward which is a little weird but
not bad it definitely affects the roll off of your finger like when you're here
and like you just go to here instead of the roll off instead you have that lip
there and I kind of like that to be honest
ooh hi I didn't see you so here we have two buttons on the back that are
programmable I'm assuming these are programmable yes dual programmable
buttons and as opposed to the power a programmable buttons that are on the
back and very small this is much larger and it takes it and it just kind of fits
into the shape here which is pretty dope feels natural to click it like I don't
need to focus on where I'm pressing down it's just there
it's all of this that's neat the most weird part of this is you have
your plus/minus home screenshot buttons are reversed on camera two we could
clearly see that this is home and that's home and this is - and this is - and
this is a screenshot and this is screenshot and this is plus and that's
plus and originally I thought it would throw me off as to where they're located
however the plus button is just slightly up and left of Y and it remains true on
this controller so I mean it's a little bit closer here and then just home is
kind of moved out of the way and by no means whatsoever do I think that I would
accidentally hit the home button while I'm playing cuz my hand is gonna be here
there's no reason for it to roll off up and further away I would need to extend
my finger out of the way and I'm actually not mad at that I actually kind
of liked that location because like it should be out of the way you're not
pressing it all the time instead you want it to be like there there it makes
sense the plus and the minus that's going to be closer because that's your
Start button now there's also a different button down here and I'm
assuming this has to do with the voice control and the d-pad is also noted with
up and down at the bottom we have a headphone jack and we also have a little
slider boy what do you do Oh what does this do I don't know why this
came off why did this come off can't put anything in here there's no batteries
it's wireless the heck is that alright so that little button at the
bottom is called the function button neat and it has an LED that's how you
program the buttons on the back still no idea what that does no idea and one of
the unique parts about the face off controller is that in fact you can just
remove the faceplate and put on a different face plate it's as simple as
that you just literally peel it off and and especially with the previous wired
face off controllers a lot of people said that the buttons had a lot of
height to them because they had to go through the faceplate but now they're a
little bit more recessed and I feel like the actuation point isn't that bad I
like that still no idea what this does no idea if someone if someone owns this
controller and you could tell me what the heck this is for I would love to
know I don't know maybe they want in the future you'd be able to swap that out
for something else enough messing around let's plug in a
game and just like that there's no syncing process for you as B controllers
you just plug them in my home button lights up that's pretty neat it lights
up well first I want to try just the audio out and I can use any 3.5
millimeter or eighth inch Jack or eighth inch headphone I should say to plug in
oh and I just have sound there's no setting up or anything it just works it
just works that's nice it's not coming through the
HDMI anymore is it it's not and if I unplug this
yeah it immediately goes back to working ah that's pretty neat I plug it in it
takes like maybe two seconds or so for it to switch over but that's not bad
Oh people have been playing my Mario maker levels very nice
including this really weird one that I made that there's a glitch that on the
ninth block you can hop through with on-off switches which doesn't make sense
but hey that's what glitches are for
just like that stumps yeah there's a spider on my screen
I got him
these are some dirty instructions now so there is one more feature that I want to
see is the function up and down just like that that that's weird why'd you
just connect so when holding down the function button and then pressing down
volume goes all the way down when pressing up volume goes all the way up
that's neat oh and when I hit all the way up it makes the sensor sound can I
get that on on audio that's just like a like a sensor bleep what the so there is
one feature of this controller that I am NOT going to be testing here and that is
native voice chat and well first of all it's really dope that you could just
plug in a headset and then you're good to go
however for native voice chat you have to play a game one game that's free that
does support voice chat a game that we don't play here on the channel and just
nope not doing it we don't play for it can I fish asked you guys on Twitter
what other games work paladins and warframe were the only two that we could
find that supports native voice chat I want to make a conscious effort to not
just buy this game just to be a noob at it and be on voice trying to be like
what do I do what am i doing I have no idea what I'm doing
cuz I don't feel like that would help any community and I'm not gonna play
fork knife so that's gonna wrap up the video here if you play fork knife and
for some reason watch my channel which I'm not too sure why but if that's up
your alley then yes this is native voice chat directly in a wired pro controller
at less than half the price of the Nintendo switch pro controller it's
important to know that this does not have Rumble or NFC but you could just
plug in a regular headphone any headphone even the ones that came with
your phone just plug them in there and then you could hear everything going on
which is really neat it's it's essentially just a way to have your
audio routed instead of through the HDMI to this controller which is neat and
should be built into the pro controller by default for cemani freakin dollars
but guys I want to know what do you think about the PDP faceoff controller
