Hello and welcome back to "Wishtery Tech"
the dumbest show on the internet
where I buy random things on Wish
and make fun of them for the next 13 minutes.
Hold on a minute.
That looks ridiculous.
They're triggers for an iPhone.
I mean, yes.
Is the answer, yes.
You can buy an entire gaming PC kit.
So they've very carefully blurred,
what the chip is.
It seems like it comes with a cooler though.
I'm really tempted by this one
but $760 is about $500 more than this is worth.
- [Ken] But we have to try it for science.
- [Austin] I'll add it to the cart.
We'll consider it.
760 bucks though, man.
Galaxy Z, flip fold case.
Do not fall off.
Bare metal feel.
Accurate hole position.
(record screeching)
Wait, wait.
(Austin exclaiming)
It's a USB cable with a hidden SIM card
where you can use it to GPS track people.
So weird.
I mean, this is definitely creep town, 5,000.
What is this?
2018 fashion mirror book air.
It's like a mini little MacBook
but it's actually a mirror.
So you can use it as a little mirror.
Hold on a minute.
You knew that $700 motherboard CPU combo I found earlier.
I found one with RAM included for $470.
They're trying to rip me off.
Mini 4K HD my video capture card.
This is what everyone's been using for Twitch, right?
The i12 pro,
its the iPhone 11
but with four cameras.
- [Ken] Close enough.
- 95 bucks. Done.
Our grand total is $635
but with my promo code, it's only $508.61.
That might be the least amount of money, we've wasted
on Wish since six months ago.
- [Ken] You mean the last video?
- Yeah, that one. Yeah.
- [Ken] Okay.

Now back to the "Wishtery Tech" action.
Welcome back to "Wishtery Tech."
It has been roughly two months
since I last ordered products
and I've forgotten literally everything that I ordered.
So, let's see what this is.
Oh. Oh, I know what this stupid thing is.
We ordered this back before the days
of the iPhone 12 being announced
and this is the i12 Pro.
Now, apparently it has eight gigs of RAM
and 512 gigs of storage,
which sounds like a great deal.
More than you get on the actual iPhone 12 Pro.
Okay, definitely some Apple grade packaging.
So if you subscribed to our second channel, "This Is,"
you'll know that we did an entire video
on a fake iPhone we got from Wish.
That one was pretty solid.
This is not, okay.
All right.
I'm so disappointed.
So disappointed, immediately.
- [Ken] Is that a Pixel?
- It looks like a Pixel.
You trying to tell me that's an iPhone?
- [Ken] They didn't even try!
- They didn't even try!
Look at the chin!
Do you see the size of the chin?
- [Ken] The forehead is kinda there.
- But you know what?
It's got an HD camera.
How can you argue with a deal like that
for whatever the hell we paid for this.
- [Matt] $95, plus $12 in shipping.
- [Austin] Welcome.
- [Matt] Oh, there's that,
there's that Chinese text.
- Okay, so this is just Android
with a couple of iOS icons.
Can you see this?
(Matt exclaiming)
Do you see?
Look at, look at this.
Do you see the frame rate as I move my hand here?
Ready and...
(phone chiming)
- [Ken] Wow.
- That was so underwhelming.
Wow. The photo nicely captures
but it took so long, my happy face went to a very, like,
disgusted, confused face.
This is not an iPhone 12.
If you buy this thinking you're gonna get an iPhone 12,
you were sadly mistaken
and Wish deserves to take your money.
I don't think I've been this disappointed
since the last time I bought something on Wish.
So let's move on to the next item.
I'm sure it'll be much better.
(Ken nervously laughing)
- [Ken] I don't know about that one chief.
- All right, next up we have, a USB cable.
Oh, this is the sketchy bull (beep).
Okay. So on the surface
this looks like any standard USB cable.
You look on the back,
just gives you a bunch of stuff about data transmit.
You could easily pick this up at a store
and never think twice.
You can hand it to someone that you want to spy on
because this is our GPS cable.
So I guess the idea is that you give this
to someone who you want to spy to.
Like, "Oh here, I got you a cable."
They plug it in.
And then you're being all creepy.
I wonder if this actually works though.
I wonder how this works.
So the cable looks like a normal lightening port.
I mean, I guess the only I can say is
that the USB-A is a little bit thick but come on.
If I handed you that cable, would you look twice at that?
- [Ken] Probably not.
- That looks fine.
That's what it is right there.
- [Ken] I don't like that.
(Ken nervously laughing)
- So it's a MediaTek processor.
So we have inserted a GSM SIM card.
So it actually specifically calls out.
It will work with a few different frequencies.
If this actually works, this is some scary (beep).
Okay, plugs in like a normal cable.
Now, if I plug it into the iPhone, will it work?
It does. Okay.
- [Ken] Oh, it charges. Okay.
- Which makes sense, right?
If you're trying to spy on someone,
you wouldn't give them a fake cable, right?
It's got to be able to charge.
- [Ken] It needs to power itself on, right?
- Yeah.
Okay, I can't really understand this.
Texting is not actually doing anything though.
So I've texted it a bunch of different things.
All the different codes it tells me
none of them give me anything back. Huh?
I mean, I don't know what to say here.
I mean, I can believe that there's a scenario
in which this works but we've got a SIM card in it
which supports the right frequency.
We're in an area where I can see
we have great service on the network.
I feel like we could probably figure out,
how to make this work.
And I kind of don't want to.
Don't track your friend's, kids.
'Cause that's illegal.
I think. Probably.
If it's not, it should be.
Let's throw the cable in the garbage.
- For sure.
- [Ken] A hundred percent.
Woo! All right.
What do we have next?
The Helmet PUBG Gadgets.
So the idea is, I believe you have triggers on the back,
which then essentially just touch the top of the screen.
Okay.
Now I see why they call it The PUBG Helmet.
It's well, the PUBG helmet.
I don't know if you can-
- [Ken] Wait, you didn't get that
when you saw it on the box?
- Yeah but I thought they were just like, making a joke.
It actually, legit, looks like the PUBG helmet.
All right.
Theoretically, I have this now set up.
So, let's see if it actually works.
Oh, here we go.
All right.
Look at that!
Dude! This is actually really good.
Well that's okay.
- [Ken] Oh, use it to your advantage!
He doesn't have what you have.
- Ah, I'm trying.
I'm not gonna lose to the bot.
- [Ken] He's running away. Get him!
- There we go.
Look, I am absolute trash.
This feels like I'm using, like, a normal controller.
I'll be completely real with you.
If you play a lot of, sort of first person shooter games.
Specifically stuff like PUBG
which will allow you to move the interface around
because ultimately with these controls
you do need to have it up on the top left
because you can't and it won't extend any farther.
But if you're playing a game like PUBG
that allows you to reorder things,
this is actually really good.
And ultimately the controls
are usually the main issue for me
with playing games like this on my phone.
I hate just going full touch controls.
I mean, of course, for the best sort of experience,
you can get yourself a controller
but I've never actually really liked
the controllers for phones.
Mostly because usually you have to put your phone in a clip.
It's a little bit sort of big and bulky.
This is small enough that you don't even really notice it
but you get that nice, tactile feedback.
- [Matt] It's cheap too.
- How much was this?
- [Matt] This was $5.35, with $2 shipping.
- Seven bucks? 1000% worth it.
Finally! Something in this video that doesn't suck.
Thanks Wish.
You know what?
I am now feeling much better about my life.
Usually when we do "WishteryTech,"
it's just pain and misery from all the money we waste.
But this time, I have a little mini MacBook
to make me feel better.
The MirrorBook Air.
So, this is almost entirely some goofy, funny joke.
It is based on the MacBook Air
but in case you're not an astute viewer,
the pun is it's a mirror instead.
Ha ha, hilarious.
Did I buy this because I thought
this is a really cheap MacBook?
Maybe.
but oh, okay.
That is an actual Apple logo.
Oh, okay.
- [Ken] Let's be real here.
You bought it for the thumbnail.
- I may or may not have bought this for the thumbnail.
I bought a...
Look, it's so cool though.
So, the Apple logo is upside down when you open it.
Unlike a real MacBook.
How? How did you let it get to this point?
(sad piano music begins)
You started out with real honest tech reviews.
People respected, you until he put two power supplies
in that one computer in "Scrapyard Wars."
And now you're talking to a mirror,
reviewing garbage from Wish
and you're just hoping, hoping -
- [Matt] At least we will didn't put you
in a costume from Wish.
- Because I bought these items.
If you guys picked it,
I would definitely be dressed up as Big Bird right now.
Oh wow.
What do we have here?
This is fun.
It never ends.
We have so much randomness.
Oh, the capture card.
I definitely looked at this for a minute.
I was like, I have no idea what the hell I bought.
All right.
So there are many different capture cards,
that you can purchase.
Many of them sold from Elgato.
That you can use to run your camera
or your game console, whatever, into your PC.
So you can record a stream.
Now the problem with these, is that they're,
well, first of all,
some of them were actually really hard to find this year.
And more specifically than that,
they're all a little bit on the expensive side
which is where the Video Capture with Loop
device comes in.
So this has an HDMI input
as well as a micro USB for power.
And on the other side, it will loop that video out
as well as it has a USB-A port, for some reason.
How do you connect this to your PC?
It comes with the micro USB cable
which I believe is for power
but to actually get it to your computer,
you need a USB-A. A male USB-A.
- [Matt] USB-A to USB-A.
- [Ken] Wait but it didn't come in the box?
- It didn't come,
no, that's literally it.
It was supposed to come with this.
Fast forward to when we acquired a USB-A to USB-A cable.
And why don't we see how our "WishteryTech"
game cap. will work.
So I'm going to plug it into the Surface Laptop Go.
Not a device that I think should be
particularly well suited to streaming but it works.
Oh, okay.
I'm getting some color bars.
So something's happening.
Let's plug this into the X-Box and monitor
and see what happens.
And we will plug...
Oh, well that immediately works.
- [Ken] So this is over USB-2.
- USB-2.
It's probably 1080p, 30, would be my guess.
Hey, there we go.
I'll free up space later.
So yeah, I mean, this just seems to work.
- [Ken] So wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
- [Austin] That looks like 30.
- [Ken] That looks like 30 but there's basically no latency
which is something that I've always expected
out of USB-2 capture cards.
- [Austin] Though, to be fair,
you can just spend just a little bit more money
and get a similar version to this
except that it will support 4K pass-through
and that you can get on Amazon for like 10 bucks more.
But I mean, it is what it says it is.
It does what it says it does.
Especially if you're just getting into streaming
this is a good way of going.
I'll say thumbs up.
Mostly.
- [Ken] Except, you don't have to get it from Wish.
- Well, as always, you never have to get anything from Wish.
We just do it because it makes stupid videos.
(Austin humming)
Is that the motherboard you just tossed on the table.
I saw you like hesitate for a second and then you lobbed it.
All right.
You obviously have tried to build PC components from Wish.
It's never really ended well.
Let's see what we got here.
We have a SATO cable, a IO shield
and A55 motherboard
with a, no CPU.
Is this everything that came in the box?
There's nothing else here.
'Cause there's literally just a motherboard here.
- [Matt] Yep.
- [Austin] This is supposed to be
a CPU motherboard and RAM combination.
- [Matt] And a cooler.
- How much was this again?
- [Matt] This was $471!
(Austin screaming)
(Austin breathing heavily)
- Are you trying to tell me,
I spent almost $500 on Wish.com
for a motherboard that is worth at most, $27?
No CPU, no cooler,
no RAM.
I'm just gonna snap it in half.
I'm just gonna snap it in half,
it'll make me feel better.
- [Matt] Don't snap a $471 motherboard!
That thing's worth $471.
- Oh, that's actually really strong.
- [Matt] See, it's that $500 build quality!
Feel like the tip off should have been
when it said it was an AMD four core dual core CPU.
Actually it never once says a good brand included.
It never said any of these things.
There's just a picture that shows RAM and a CPU
and they just call it motherboard package.
- All right, I guess that's it then.
Thank you very much for watching
this episode of "WishteryTech."
I hope you're subscribed
because if you subscribe,
I can promise you that you will never ever have to see
another episode of "WishteryTech" again, probably,
as long as you have that bell rung
and my heart in your hand.
What does that mean?
It means that I'm just trying to keep
that little voice inside myself from screaming.
I'm screaming right now.
Thank you, Ken.
I feel better about my life now
that I don't have to look at my $470 mistake.
