- Welcome back to Mystery Tech, my friends!
It's already here, wow.
That's a little sus.
All right.
(case squeaks) (Austin laughing)
This seems to be a foam case with some very realistic buns.
Oh, wait a minute, oh wait, this is not what I thought.
Is this a Z Flip case?
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
So if you're familiar with the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip,
the third best invention after fire and electricity.
- [Ken] The two greatest inventions
also burned down his house.
(crew laughing)
- Hey, guys.
So my house kind of burned down.
Water was the fourth good invention,
that probably was helpful.
- [Matt] Little late on that one.
- Typically using the Z Flip,
I don't actually use a case for it
because the screen on the inside is protected
while it's in my pocket.
Now, I do slightly question who made this
because I don't think this is a factory thing.
Mostly because the camera seems to be covered by this bun,
which is the most realistic, like fake food I've ever.
- [Ken] I love how there's lettuce
that you can barely see.
(Austin gagging)
- Great, he's finally evolved from sniffing it
to tasting it.
- Ah, so go ahead and put on my case.
- [Ken] So, he tried to put it on the inside.
- Okay.
- [Ken] He's never assembled a burger before.
(Matt laughing)
- So, I don't know how it looks on camera, but in person,
it looks terrific and it feels like an actual bun.
It's probably just like foam
that's been, like, expertly painted.
But you've got yourself the tomato, which is rubbery,
and you got a little bit of lettuce on there.
This is what you see through the camera.
Maybe not the most practical thing in the world.
Can you please tell me something about where this came from
and is this an actual product or did someone make this?
Like, is this a real thing?
- So, I saw this on TikTok, I bought it on eBay.
- How much was it?
- 25 bucks.
- I can say with absolutely no hesitation whatsoever,
I love this.
This is up there in the pantheon of greats,
right beside Robo T Raptor.
(crew laughing)
Slightly above Squish Monkey McGee.
(monkey squeaks) Oops.
This makes me happy, and Matt
this is the best Mystery Tech item I've seen
in two and a half years.
This my friends, is a set of Adidas sport headphones
powered by light, no charging cable included.
What?
So, definitely like wrapped like shoes.
It's like covered in fabric.
And it's got this like sort of rubbery sort of finish
and there's a USB-C port on the bottom.
Now it does say that,
as part of their sustainability efforts,
you don't need a USB-C cable,
but apparently if you scan the QR code,
they'll give you a cable anyway, so it's power foil.
So, I'm assuming that this is some kind of solary-panel.
It's very sort of smooth so I guess if you're out
jamming to your Adidas music,
wow, actually, that's like,
a really surprising amount of isolation.
There's a little button on the right side
and there's a button on the left side,
so I'm see if I can get these to pair.
Oh, interesting.
It actually shows up as a Google fast pair device.
- [Ken] Hey, look at that.
- So, paired.
Okay, I can see.
So, this little LED here is gonna tell me
how much they're charging.
Theoretically they're getting a tiny, tiny, tiny amount
of light and energy from our studio lights.
They're not amazing sounding, I'll say that.
There's a lack of clarity here.
That's the thing that just really gets me.
It very much, it's not like a U-shaped scoop,
it's just bass, and everything's just kind of down here.
- Hey, so toss 'em over here,
give 'em to the peanut gallery.
- They're a little uncomfortable.
Just 'cause it's like a lot of fabric.
It's like a little bit squished to your ears,
but that's not bad.
I, they actually think that
for running around and working out and stuff,
that's actually, it's a pretty good fit.
- Austin, you're not gonna heaven with this music,
I'm telling you that.
- [Austin] Okay, mom.
I mean, I was listening to the city pop few minutes ago, so.
- He needs Jesus.
(crew laughing)
Yeah, these are not.
- Yeah, they're not great, no.
- So the question, and I'm really afraid to ask this,
how much are the RPT 02 Sol Adidas headphones.
- [Matt] How much do you think?
- I think, $80 is a little too much,
but that would be the max I would ever pay for these.
And even then you can get better headphones for that,
but 80 bucks
- [Matt] We paid $230 for them.
- (censored) no.
- Did you learn - That's literally
all I have to say. - Did you learn that language
from your Spotify playlist?
- I did, but not at the expense of being just very
mid-sounding headphones with no additional features
whatsoever, like-
- [Ken] It's a shame they're mid
because you can't hear them.
- No, no, they're bass.
I can't hear anything else besides that.

(box thumps) - Wow!
- Did you hear the sound that this little box made?
What is this?
(box thumps) (crew laughing)
I don't think I have ever,
in all the years we've been shooting Mystery Tech,
seen Matt and Ken this happy.
(Matt and Ken laughing)
- We, like you said we,
we've shot so many episodes, so many items,
it's rare for us to get something that makes us giddy.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
This, this wrapping is way bigger than the actual item.
What is this? - Keep going.
- Three inch Tungsten cube?
(Matt and Ken laughing)
So if you're not up to date
on your periodic table of elements,
this (censored) is pretty much on the bottom.
Well actually, technically it's not
all the way on the bottom, it's number 74
but it's pretty low.
It this where the joker comes in.
(Joker laughing)
There you go.
That's three inches of solid tungsten.
Dude, I feel like I've damn Mjolnir here.
(lightning cracks) Like, ugh.
I'm gonna guess this is like 20 pounds.
So this is Tungsten light.
- So, the weight of it,
you're not far off with 20 pounds.
- How much is it?
- 17.6.
- It is mind blowing at how heavy
something this small can truly be.
How much is a cube of tungsten?
- Before I give you that. - Yeah?
- I wanna tell you that we used restraint.
- Did you now?
- Yeah. - Okay.
- So, a one inch cube is a hundred dollars.
- Oh, bruh.
- This one here is $1,800.
- Okay, here's the real test.
Like all good Mystery Tech items,
will it break the shelf?
- Oh my God no.
- I'll let go in 3,
2, - Lower it lower it!
- 1.
- Yay! - Okay.
- [Ken] It fits in an Amazon locker, for return.
- We're not returning it.
I've got my DNA all over it.
- [Matt] He's not returning the cube.
- So, please subscribe to the channel
and ringling the dingling button
because quite literally we're gonna go out of business
if you don't watch our videos from now on.
Subscribe, please.
Please.
Look at that, look at that.
- Ooh. - Expert, catlike reflexes.
The ROG Raikiri Pro.
So, I have actually already used this device.
So, at CES, we went to the Asus booth
and they showed us a wide variety of things,
including a prototype of the Raikiri Pro.
The Raikiri Pro.
So, we've got ourselves, our little OLED here.
So, you have the ability to load up profiles,
throw ROG logos, whatever you want on the little display.
And it does like some current ROG devices,
it's got a little bit of clear plastic
so you can't fully see all the way through,
but it's got like some texture underneath.
So, here I'm gonna try all the buttons here.
So, face buttons? (buttons clicking)
Good, nothing spectacular.
They just feel like regular nice buttons, triggers.
And the triggers do have the stoppable, the bump stops,
so you can have them the sort of like hair triggers
or you can open them up for the full, full beans.
Feels very similar to a standard Xbox controller.
I would say almost a little too similar
in that, when my eyes are closed,
I don't think I can tell the difference,
I'll be honest.
In fact, do you wanna try?
- Give me that one.
- Okay.
- So I'm gonna not hold the the rear
'cause I know that I'll feel the paddles.
Okay, so, okay, got it.
That feels okay, like an Xbox controller, okay.
- Okay, here's the next one.
- Okay, this one feels clicker, but a little more hollow.
I think this is the Raikiri
'cause that one felt a little like,
yeah, okay, this is the Raikiri.
This is the The Xbox.
What?
Wait, I got 'em backwards.
(Matt and Ken laughing)
- What?
What?
- You know I Indiana Jones'd it like four times.
- Oh my God.
How many controllers were there?
- Either the Raikiri feels very similar
to regular Xbox controller, or I'm a big old dumb dumb.
Ooh, oh, I will say though,
that RGB actually is really nice.
Hmm, all right, let's actually hook it up.
So we're gonna pull, hook it up to an Xbox Series S
but I think we may actually have to plug it in,
which is a strange choice.
Yeah, I mean it does say wired with Xbox.
So, this does feel like a little bit
of a hybrid between a proper pro controller
like the elite controller and the standard Xbox.
Hey, hey (censored) off!
- Whoa, whoa. - Come on dude,
that's not nice.
- How much do you think this is?
- I mean, the competitor I think to this
has gotta be the Core Elite Series 2.
So I believe it's $120 or $130?
- Yeah. - Okay.
So then I think this has gotta be 120 bucks.
- [Matt] Welp, it's not.
- Okay, how much is it?
- [Matt] It is $170.
- [Ken] Whoo, no.
- No.
The standard version, if it really is as similar
as I feel like I remember it when I tried CES,
70 bucks cheaper and it just really loses the wireless,
and a couple of the back paddles.
That's probably a little bit of a better sell.
But honestly it's tough to argue
with that Elite Series Core.
Like if you don't care about the full customization,
that's a lot of controller for the money.
Okay, I almost caught this.
Oh, this is the item I bought.
So supposedly this is a high quality SSD for only $40.
Oh, there's a problem with this disc.
Oh wow, wait, it actually shows up as two terabytes.
- Oh heyo.
- We gotta find out what's inside this.
I mean, clearly this is a scam.
Oh, I got it, I got it, I got it.
All right, let's see what's inside.
(Austin laughing maniacally)
This is what's actually inside.
This is just a USB-C to A adapter.
So it's a double-sided USB-A to USB-A.
That's it, that's literally all that's inside this thing.
Now we're gonna plug this directly into the laptop
and see what happens.
Wait, I don't need to plug it in.
I can literally see through it.
- Oh. (crew laughing)
- [Matt] How is it figuring out
that something's plugged into it at all?
- There's a little tiny piece of plastic
on the bottom of the USB port.
I see 4 little prongs that do look like they're USB,
but PSA, if you're ever buying
a high quality USB flash drive off of Amazon.com,
make sure it's from a reputable brand,
not Portable SSD Mobile Storage.
One item captured.
Two items, easily caught.
This is the Mountain Nunatak Gaming Mouse Pad.
And I'm assuming a corresponding mouse,
which is the Makalu Modular RGB Gaming Mouse.
So here's the thing with Mountain, y'all need to chill.
RGB is one thing, gaming is another,
modularity, cool, but y'all do too much.
I wanna cut- - Tell you're not a real gamer
without telling me you're not a real gamer.
- Look, there's this thing called choice paralysis, Matt.
Wow, that's a lot of things.
We have the mouse itself,
so this looks like a fairly standard mouse
but I'm assuming that I'm gonna,
about to tear this thing apart and completely customize it.
Oh, okay, so you've got,
like, a standard sort of like thumb rest,
as well as one that's a little bit more dimpled.
- [Ken] Oh, I see magnets.
- So, how do I do this?
- [Ken] So, it looks like it's just weight.
It's weights and grips.
- Weights and grips.
The titles of my new hit single,
(beatboxing) weights and grips, weights and grips.
So I have changed not only the left side,
which is the thumb grip,
but also my pinky rest and it's quite wide.
So, this is the maximum mouse,
with the heaviest weight on the bottom.
Let's try this with the Nunatak Gaming Mouse Pad.
Okay, this is too heavy, I'm gonna take the weight out,
immediately, I think that is too heavy.
Yeah, that's better.
Oh my God, it's heavy.
What the hell is in here?
(case thumps)
Oh my God, what have you, what have you done?
- I made an all metal keyboard.
- What?
- So this- - So heavy!
- [Ken] So it is a 5 by 40 LED array over there,
that has programmable animations
and stuff to make it look cool.
- So you got the cyber board? - Yes, which is its own thing.
- Which is its own thing.
Then you bought the key caps,
which are aluminum I'm guessing.
- Yes, they are aluminum. - How about the switches?
- [Ken] No, I also had to buy those.
- Okay.
- So the whole thing had to be assembled.
It's hot swap, so I didn't have to do a crazy amount
but there's actually a full Denki video
on this if you want to see how I built it.
- Of course there's a whole Denki video.
And is it wireless charging?
- [Ken] Yes.
- That actually looks really nice.
Can we get some dramatic lighting please?
I'm about to experience aural bliss through my fingertips
to determine the veracity of Ken's metallic claims.
Is everyone ready?
First full type test, let's go.
Oh good Lord.
- You have to commit. - It feels is nice
but it is so heavy you can't type fast.
88 words per minute.
Okay, so typing on this keyboard is a unique experience
because it is, by far,
the heaviest key press I've ever experienced.
Not only the fact that these key caps clearly weigh a ton
but whatever the hell switches you have in this thing,
it's like you're cocking a device.
Wow, okay, let's start with the mouse.
Let's, let's, let's get this one done first.
How much is this mountain mouse?
- [Ken] $90.
- Okay, I will say this is probably not for me,
mostly because I generally prefer
a very lightweight mouse.
That being said, the modularity is nice,
but it doesn't give you any extra buttons or anything.
So it's not particularly like a productivity mouse,
even though when you have the full thing built out,
it does kind of look like a, like an MX Master or something.
Okay, let me just prepare myself here.
The fact this lives on the blockchain, has a lot of LEDs,
and is made of metal all leads me to believe
this is expensive.
How about this?
Ken, I'm gonna throw you some numbers.
- Okay. - You tell me if I'm too high
or too low?
- Okay. - All right.
$400
- As a whole?
- The whole thing.
- [Ken] 400 bucks?
- Yeah. - That's cute.
- A thousand dollars.
No, no, you did not spend over a thousand dollars
on a keyboard.
What are you talking about?
- [Ken] It's cheaper than the cube.
I'll tell you that.
- 1100.
- [Ken] Before shipping and taxes.
- My (censored) God, I'm gonna...
Please break that down.
How the (censored) did you spend $1,100 on a keyboard?
- So the CYBERBOARD on its own.
- Yep.
- Is $620, just for the case. (Austin groaning)
And, like, the battery and all that.
So the CYBERBOARD right now, about 900 bucks.
- So what you're saying is you've actually
made a genius play to take two years to build a keyboard,
put it on Mystery Tech as a hilarious segment,
make a Denki video all about it.
- Yeah. - And then we sell it
for profit and it was all worth it in the end.
- Collectively, all the money we would've made
on the video would've paid for the keyboard already.
- Okay.
- And we got a free keyboard out of it.
- Wait, that's not how that works, that's not profit.
- Yeah. - No profit's
only when you sell the thing
for more than you bought it for.
That's what profit is, Ken.
- Well, only if I was intending on flipping it.
- Oh, so this is your new keyboard?
- Our new keyboard.
