Probably the best gadget in this video! :-)
I have the Phanteks argb strips in my build. The double sided pad to stick in the interior are lacking and don’t hold well. I suggest using 3m or even adhesive backed Velcro to install. Lighting effects are perfect, even works with Lian Li Uni Controller. Price is reasonable and looks great.

I thought that was just Cyberpunk
The corsair RGB strip seems pretty awesome! I'm not sure why they don't also put some sort of USB A/C lead in the box so you can use them outside of a PC case. I can't find well diffused RGB strips like those that have a USB power cord (or even blank power leads for splicing into your own power supply of choice).
they r £250 blud
4:39 Really good microphone ? Where ?? This reminds me of the early 2000's

The reasons why respawn and razer are better
LOL, best part is that it's like the most useful thing out of the three xD
Razer has a RGB pc case
I think the first product is legitimately pretty cool and probably really useful. Being able to control volume outside of software is very convenient because you don't have to tab out while in a game.
I literally saved the video to its own playlist so i wont forget what its called i will own this
@@DaBeardedButcherI’ll hold you to it, I might save this comment so I can come back and remind you ;)
What, you can't use keyboard shortcuts? Then again, not everyone has function keys.
You guys really surprised me! There were a lot of things I never heard of even with me being an enthusiastic pc user.... I will definitely need a RGB HDMI Cable
why
@@eljefea2802 It's RGB. That's the reason
How am I supposed to flex on my classmates with that mechanical keyboard with that noice cancelling tho
I've had my PC panel for over two years. I love it. I have it set to control volume, for my Brower, Discord, Master volume and what every primary app I'm using. It's really handy to turn up and down apps with a knob, rather than alt tabbing.
Dmitry, you always make me want to buy things and this video is no exception. Your videos never disappoint, there's just something special about the way you share information, and every one of your "cool PC gadgets" videos has got me excited to buy some new goodies. Another great video, thank you!
This comment sounds like a love letter lol
@@sev7nnn Thank you, I really don’t mind if a lot of my communication with the world sounds like a love letter! ❤️ I think the world could use a little more messages that encourage, inspire, thank, and celebrate one another… So, I’ll probably keep it up! 👍
Amazing work!! I love the pros and the cons so we can decide how to spend our money. Keep these coming please.
11:00 "Chew focus repeat I love that" lmfao you tried tho
The PCPanel is the most interesting for me, especially since I don't like using audio normalization functions, so I end up adjusting either the system volume or the speaker itself every now and then.
PCPanel and a cheap audio interface, look like a cheaper alternative to GoXLR mini.
Press Windows Key + G to bring up Windows Gaming Overlay. You can use the volume widget to control all of your volume levels with ease. That has pretty much the same functionality as PC Panel and it's free. Most gaming keyboards already have plenty of macros support.
What we like about PC Panel is that (if you think about it) it can actually be easily mounted UNDER a desk just within reach and still provide amazing functionality.
Look into nk2tray. It lets you use a midi controller for volume and media control, basically what the pcpanel does but with more features and more knobs. I use the behringer xtouch mini and it has 8 knobs, 1 slider for overall volume, 8 mute buttons and media control.
Yea I backed this product initially on kickstarter. too bad the app that it comes with hardly ever worked, and was a pain to try to set up in the first place
Amazing video and great showcasing of products! This type of high quality compilation is hard to come by, keep up the great work Dimitri!
I still have my G19... it's been my daily keyboard since release date. Needed to use some silicone adhesive to maintain the membrane, but it works 100% and still feels great.
That’s a cool monitor, do you have any details of where I can pick the same one up for??
1:59 that sponsor segue was so smooth, I thought it was a part of the cool accessories XD
This was awesome. I Love these kinds of videos!
How tf not a single reply?

I was your thousanth like.
I've had a PCPanel for about a year now, literally one of the best things i've ever bought
Where do I get it
I loved this so much you were so open in your reviews you didn't lie at all and were extremely straight forward about all the products. Truly amazing
The PCPanel thing is pretty neat. I remember first hearing about it. Other alternatives that can do similar functions would be midi controllers repurposed for use with a PC to control that stuff. Using software such as NK2tray (with a Korg NanoKontrol2 midi controller) or midi-mixer with any midi controller, you could control the volumes of anything in the windows volume mixer super easy. It's really nice.
I love the MIDI Mixer program. I can never go back from that now. The functionality and ease of use is just super amazing, and the Discord community for it is so helpful. I use a Behringer X-Touch Mini with it, but as you say, MIDI Mixer can be used with any midi controller. Even the Elgato Stream Deck can be used with it, when you install a midi plugin for it.
Awsome, how you add your own user experience into it. Even though you name all the benefits of the items, still bothering downsides are mentioned like missing weight or rubber feet, slow sd card speed, not smelly foam, bad viewing angles. Things that a person looking for it won't see until they bought and tested it. Good Job!
Big fat thumbs up!👍!! I definitely love the "Accessories you've never heard of" bit that you guys are doing. Get to see some really cool accessories...that I've never heard of, lol. Please keep these coming.
I wanted to immediately go and buy the Keychron T10, but it seems that they don't make it anymore? do you have any recommendations for something similar that is still being made?
11:44 But still it's gaming gum, I was wondering for years why everyone type GG and the end of match. Now I realize it's gaming gum 😂 👍
😂
RGB GG FTW!
XD
Maybe they are telling us that that is how they win, gaming gum. That’s why everyone says GG at the end
Imagine if someone said "bUt It MeAnS gOoD gAmE"
That noise-cancellation adapter looks really interesting!
It's a shame he used such an horrific sounding mic to test it with.
@@TalesOfWar Thats because he wanted to show off the noise-cancellation. If he used a better headset usually that stuff is already built into it.
@@TalesOfWar Better to show it with a more questionable mic than the best around.
@@HardwareCanucks Fair point. It was just kind of shocked how bad it sounded haha. The noise cancellation on the other hand was rather impressive.
@@TalesOfWar a lot of the compression came from the noise cancelation itself. A lot of what noise compression IS is reducing or eliminating volume at certain pitches. Thats exactly what compression is. The noise cancelation clips into the pitch range of human speech as a side effect of reducing background noise so heavily.
Nice video, hopefully you do more videos like this of cool accessories. Shame the iCue can't be customised as an equaliser or volume or charging status or multiple modes like breathing, commit, hit or shot in a FPS.
"with a really good microphone" lol
...for the pricepoint, I suppose.
Incredible videography and presentation. Love the format, humor, everything so far. Great job!
Lots of interesting things here, the real life changer for me has been my acquisition of a KVM switch, I got it to hook up to my work laptop and gaming PC so I don't have to change the keyboard/mouse/monitor cables around multiple times a day and I would think it kinda qualifies for this list. At least I never heard of them until I went looking for "displayport switches" and stumbled across them, I'm still looking for one that is software controlled so I don't need to have an extra box sitting on my table though.
I realise this is an old comment, but for mouse and keyboard you want "barrier"
@@3Immotommi3 That looks like an interesting piece of software and I might start using it around the house. I do need to switch the monitor as well though and one of my work laptops cannot have unauthorized software installed on it so I'll keep using the KVM switch for that.
Question: The ASUS AI Noise-Canceling MIC Adapter can it be used say iphone X wired headset to iphone? I work remotely and use my iphone X for work. Also, if not, is there a protect you can suggest to do so? Thanks!
With the PC panel can you use the wheels to adjust the sound of your voice during a call, such as pitch and volume.
I'm going to get one of those dial things to control discord, my game, and headphone volume separately. That'll save me a lot of opening the volume mixer
Same, I am always messing with them. Also having a button to quickly mute stuff is nice.
If you are interested in diy, you can buy the components and a lil microprocessor and make one yourself.
@@trash3570 might do that if I can get ahead on my classes. That would be cool
@@trash3570 what's the smallest arduino you could probably get to do this you think? Also what would I search for for the dials?
@@sonfoku73 The video I saw he used a single pro micro for one dial. The knobs seem to use 3 analog inputs each as well as voltage and ground. Im not sure if you can use more than one dial per voltage pin on the board though And I believe all you need to look up to find the knobs is "volume control knob Arduino" or something similar
My Grandfather had a saying.... A fool and his money are soon separated.
I say spend that money if it gives you happiness and as long as you’re not going into (too much) debt.
@@rjlramos On Good hardware sure no issue, But Gaming Gum? LMFAO.
It should be “A Fool and His Money are soon parted.” Close enough though.
@@Len_M. Yes another way to say it. different parts of the globe.
@@KhalilAlcantara He had another saying i use! Leverright, when you see junk for sale it is a Leverright, leave it right there.
As someone looking for a new headset would the gsp 300 or hyperx cloud 2 be better? I wanted the pc37x but wasn't sure if it was worth the extra money
hey there, im experiencing echoing with my razer blackshark v2x on my phone and xbox, will this be fixed by the noise cancelling adapter ?
I love my LT100s. So unnecessary, so RGB
Samesies 🤟 -D.
"Requires an RTX gpu" No it's not. You can now easily install it without any tinkering with any GTX card
Yes, but it expects to have the tensor cores from RTX cards, so with a GTX card it will use like 20-40% of the GPU instead of
@@popcorny007 I run it on my 1070 TI and it still only takes up around 5% of my GPU usage
@@popcorny007 I use it on 1080 Ti all the time and I don't notice any performance penalty
@@popcorny007 With a laptop 1650 it uses about 7-8% while denoising microphone or audio at a time, and to 15-20% if denosing both mic and audio. So not a very large hit even on smaller cards, plus it's super useful for Zoom meetings
@Cherian Philip I have a 1650 card on desktop pc ill try it
for the connecter that has usb 3.0 and HDMI can i use it for gaming like hooking it up to my monitor or no
They should have made those iCue towers react to the system's audio levels, turn it into a giant visualizer.
It does that.
Hello Dimitri, I'm good people!
Hi good people 😂 have an awesome one! -D.
@@K0LBIE but come on. His channel’s icon is unbeatable
That PC panel thing is rather interesting. I'll have to look into it
pcpanel is exactly what i've been needed for awhile now ! started lookin into mixers and what not just to solve my problem but pcpanel is what i need EXACTLY ! thanks for the video
I'd be really interested in the volume control thing if it was able to auto detect games, an upgrade to it would also be an LCD screen to add names above the dials.
Me: Dude I don't wanna hear you chewing gum while we're play Apex or something Demitri: It improves my focus while I'm editing Me: I'm sold
Just wanted to say thanks! I ordered one of those PCPanels (they have a new version!) and would have never found it without this video 😊
for the lt100s do they charge, plug in, use batteries, or something else?
Hey Dimitri great content
i have wanted something like PC panel for YEARS!
do you know if the "iCUE NEXUS Companion Touch Screen" can be used as a StreamDeck? thes they have a cheaper version? im looking for a cheap solution to replace a streamdeck
Great video. Thanks again StarLord!
The Noise canceling adapter was just painful to listen to. Hearing the normal audio with the drilling in the background felt comfortable in comparison.
MY $50 ,mid-level, great sounding, WIRELESS- headset- does what the N C D does -thanks anyway. Without the nasally, "squelch" sound effect very evident in your video. When I hear any player with that , I mute them. So annoying. I like ASUS but i'll definitely pass on that.
@@epochinfinitysedge5008 Yes, please, what headset? Because if you have a $50 wireless headset that can cancel out an active woodshop and metal shop in close range, that is exactly what I'm looking for.
@@froot2912 if i encounter you and hear this -i'd mute you- nasty sounding and hurts my ears!
@@TanyaHakala Even my $99 active noise cancelling wireless headset isn't going to work in there. You're looking at an expensive BOSE product -that doesn't have that (*@!#) nasal sound of the ASUS adapter. My $50, 450s can cancel - HAND Drill noise. NOT workshop machine shop noise. Different decibels. It has to do with the active "LIMITER" capability of any noise canceller. I could list my collection of noise cancelling headsets but what you are looking for goes beyond mid level capable headsets. If you don't mind the crap sound of the ASUS adapter, then by all means get it. It is better than nothing, i guess. Judging from other comments, i'm not alone in my thinking.

new title : Cool PC Accessories You've Never Heard Of! Sunglasses Emoji
serious question: can i get those little flex rgb strips for my guitar (make it mobile)..?????
That noise cancelling genuinely blew my mind. Wild stuff, even though I might never need it
PCPanel is great! I used to have some issues with the software but that seems to have been fixed over the years (I got it via the original kickstarter in 2017).
Yeah they really listen to feedback. :)
@@HardwareCanucks They should patch it to accomodate your Windows scaling, looks horrible...
Where do I get it
The Asus AI Noise-canceling USB thing is great for MX Blue users
The AI Noise cancelling dongle is damn cool, but a bit too expensive (at least for me)
I'm skeptical, I think it's sponsored content he's not disclosing. I feel like the background sounds were edited in and out.
@@alexheschuk9429 could be, tbh seems too good to be true. But it's illegal not disclosing that you're sponsored
That usb hub and the sound controller picked my interest
Hey Chris Pratt, being guardian of the galaxy not enough for you? xD
That's clearly Starlord
"These are some of the coolest PC accessories we've seen" Gums, REALLY?
Nice video. Knew about some of those products. What I really want to know, is something about the Keychron T10. Since it has a VGA port on it, will I be able to hook up a VGA monitor to it while the device is plugged into my phone (with the USB-C) and watch Netflix on it ? Would love to see that happening. Can someone clarify the possibility for this ?
What a great video. I have to say that most of the items in here I had never heard of. Good work.
Awesome. The volume control panel, is something I was looking for. Can it control the windows sound mixer? This would be a huge quality of live improvement for me If it is not possible Does anyone of you know a product that let me bind the soundcontrols( volumes for each single Programm that’s running) of the windows audio mixer to hardware buttons?
Yea controlling the volume mixer is it's main feature. I made a full review if you want to know more.
David Sanders thx. Will check it out ;)
Just get a nanokontrol 2 it’s no joke basically a goxlr mixer for 75$
@@InSaiyanShinobi That does look really good. I'll have to check it out.
Hey Dimitri, you are one of my favorite youtuber!Thank you so much for the great content! (btw my name is Dimitri too)
@bluefisch200 idk i just like the name.
would the noise cancelling dongle basically turn headphones with no mic into noise cancelling headphones? Or does it only noise cancel for the microphone?
Might seem like a stupid question.....but what typw of monitor are you using in the video? Is it some older EIZO with CCFL backlighting or something like that?
This guy has taken his sennheiser stanning to the next level with this hoodie.
Yeah I like Beyerdynamic a lot better. Sennheiser is usually a bit too flat. Their HD 800 series is pretty good, though.
It's a nice hoodie though. I would wear it in a heartbeat.
I love the pc panel just ordered it
My headset has 2 conector green and pink ( speaker and mic respectly) connect it to the gsx 1000 senneiser DAC; i could connect only the mic on the dongle and my speaker on my dac? It will works?
Does this volume thing interfere with the audio driver or is it only like using windows mixer?
5:16 those hispanic kids on xbox party need this
I'll start a fundraiser
Is there a cheaper version of the PCPanel Volume mixer thingy?
I haven't found any alternatives, but I have the PcPanel and I would say its definitely worth the money!
@@ChrisProductions8115 get a midi controller fam that’s all it is
Arduino Nano, a couple of pots and then you either use MIDI Translator Pro or deej - you'll need to set up the Nano as a Midi device in the first case. Inexpensive Midi controllers generally will cost about as much as the PCPanel, at least if you add MIDI Translator Pro to it, but they tend to have more controls as well. But if you aren't averse to soldering, Go with either of the Arduino options, deej cost less, MIDI Translator Pro is more flexible.
@@simongunkel7457 for the nanokontrol 2 a person on reddit did all the work to have it work with music and all the audio with the faders already for the windows
@@InSaiyanShinobi Yes, but the combined price of the Nanokontrol 2 and the software they use (powermixer) is about the PCPanel price. Most of that solution also works for the Arduino, where you get to specify which CC and which channel it outputs to. I have an AKAI controller mainly for the pads, but my next controller will be Arduino based because I want big faders and plenty of them and we're talking about 5€ per 120mm fader. And even budget controllers easily cost 10x that per fader if the faders are big.
Thank you for taking the time to show us these cool pc accessories, despite your busy schedule protecting the Galaxy
“i’ve never shot B-roll of gum...” 😂 great video!
Absolutely love this video. I hope it turns into a series. I've seen similar series from other channels, but their quality is not NEARLY as consistent as you guys.
That hdmi cable reminded me of jarrods tech lol
Same
I'm actually looking for something like the PC Panel, but it would have media controls (play/pause, next prev etc.) as well. Since going to a TKL keyboard I do miss having dedicated media keys
I have literally been looking for something like the PC Panel for over a year, thank you!
So basically, Dimitri is plugging leftover products that didn't sell on Prime day.
me looking this video and knowing i have no money
that microphone noise canceling device is pretty cool. people should make more of these. its pretty valuable, i think.
So would that noise canceling adapter work with a blue yeti ?
"SD Carder" 😂
4:30 that's the worst mic i've ever heard. Even with cancelling in mind.
Nice vid. I find that any light distracts me from my game and immersion in it. especially moving/blinking lights. That being said; I think I would enjoy ambient lighting that was programmed to copy and enhance the situation-state of the game moments as long as it stayed at the subconscious level and did not take me out of the game.
The random bass at the end: howdy My skullcandy crushers: cool imma give u a head massage
I loved your acting in Guardian of the Galaxy!
At this point this is not even ironic or sarcastic.
Razer gum. Overpriced just like everything else
Not so much yet, just wait till they release a gaming gum with RGB!
They are only a few cents more than normal 5 gum you can buy in the store
Love the tower lights... That's my next Christmas sorted... 🤣👍🏻
One unusual accessory I use is a USB Hub that switches between two PCs with a button - I can switch accessories quickly between my personal and work PCs, it's pretty nice.
