 All right, I think we're live. I Think we're live So I was kind of excited today because I got a new controller in this company contacted me about two three weeks ago and Wanted me to take a look at the game sir g4 Pro now third party controllers are you know a diamond dozen who really cares? Yeah, this one has you know one of those phone clip things so you can like you know put your put your phones on it But that wasn't the functionality I cared about yes, it can be used on PC It doesn't say Xbox, but I presume you can make this work on Xbox It doesn't say That you know it works with Nintendo switch it advertises switch. Let me see the exact What are the exact things that advertises on does it say on the outside of the box? No, it does not it comes with this manual here. We go. So that's the Different language instructions, so it advertises that it could be used at the Nintendo switch a mobile phone a PC And then Apple Arcade as well But I presume it could be use the Xbox Xbox is just using a modified version of Windows 10 So I'm assuming you can use it with that it probably works with PlayStation 5 PlayStation 4 as well After all it is a Bluetooth controller, and you can wire it in there's no reason that it shouldn't work with those It even comes with a nifty little USB dongle if for some reason you're having Bluetooth connectivity issues You can always plug in the little USB gondola and call it a day. I was excited about this controller though not because This is a controller that you can use on multiple platforms There's a lot of those I mean pretty much any third-party controller from Logitech or any other company you can use on multiple platforms This is why I was excited. It has magnetic a b x y buttons So say I'm playing Xbox right now, which is what it's set up in right now at a at the bottom right a b x y a b x y That's what we're used to with Xbox on switch. That's not the case on switch. You want to remove I'll show it over here on this camera. You want to remove the button You just kind of pull up over here and look the a button comes off You want to switch the a and b around for switch? All right, so you want to put b at the bottom a at the side so you can kind of do that. There's b and then there's a So I was excited for this because I could use this on multiple controllers and change the button layout Accordingly that's what I was excited about that it had this a b x y button layout that you could just quickly pop out These buttons and change that to me was an exciting feature that does not exist on most third-party controllers And these buttons feel nice So I thought it'd be cool to give this controller a look to see if it's worth it for people that are like me that own Multiple platforms that would love to have just take a jack of all trades controller That does a little bit of everything and you could quickly switch to button layout So then you have native button layouts, but it doesn't work. It doesn't charge In fact, I'll plug in the cable right now to show you guys doesn't charge. So here's the cable Plugged in over here right here. It's supposed to be a battery indicator lighting up and as you can see there's no lights or anything It does not charge it arrived dead on arrival. I've already emailed the company and told them. Hey your controller arrived do a You know, that's not a good look for your company, but maybe you should uh, you know send another one It's okay defective products happen I decided though instead of just you know holding onto this controller until a new one comes and then mentioning in the Product review or look that hey look. This is the original DOA controller Just so you know in case you get a DOA one I think they sell them through Amazon so you can return it all a jazz. I decided to figure out why it's not working now I don't know if you guys can hear You know, there's something shaking and rattling in there. I'm not sure How well you can hear now first I thought is it just the buttons right because these these two buttons on the inside I Thought we're just loose because if you run your fingers over it See it kind of sounds like it, but when you hold them in and you hold this other button. That's a little loose There's just something shaking in there. So I don't know if there's a wire disconnected a broken clip I don't know if they forget to put the battery in the damn thing It's got enough heft to it that I don't think that's the case But I figured you know what let's open this thing up on live stream and see what we could figure out about What the hell is wrong with it? Because I was excited about this controller So I got my my little I fix it. I fix it cat over here We're gonna take this thing apart first thing I need to do is pick off the back area So we're just gonna I'm gonna grab this and I think Yeah, I don't want to waste the Phillips. Do I have a poke here? Let me see here I don't really have good lighting in here right now. I don't looks fine on camera. Looks all bright and everything It's not that bright for me This one looks like the one I I want to use right here to kind of pick at it a little bit So on the back bring it up to this camera. You'll see that there's four Little coverings are clearly covering screws. I see no other noticeable screws. So I think that's where we're gonna start So let's take these off. Oh Yeah, there's definitely some screws under that is squishy. All right good. Those are just like pieces of rubber So those are really easy to put back in so that that's nice about taking this controller apart It's easy to put back in and there definitely is something under there and grab my phone here and turn the flashlight on. Oh Yeah, there's a Phillips head screws. So they're using standard screws. That's always nice when they're using standard screws You don't have to use any special bits then All right Oh this tool is bent To be fair this tool is not meant for what I'm doing. It is not a prying tool So I'm kind of not using it as advertised with that. All right That's all right. The tool is still in one piece. So we'll just put it back. All right Let's let's get to the Phillips head here. I think this long little skinny one should do the trick Perfect absolutely perfect So you can find this on Amazon, I'm just gonna set the screw here I don't know how many screws are gonna end up being in this thing to take it apart to see if we could figure out What the heck is going on? I'm hoping that it's just like a battery cable disconnected It's possible. There's a defective board You know, I don't really know I didn't I didn't build this thing. So I'm not really sure I was put together Could be a frayed cable for all I know Where'd I get this from the company sent it to me and I'm sure they are not happy that immediately I am breaking warranty and taking it apart because they sent me a dead controller to be fair Your guys this fall for sending me a dead controller I was legitimately excited for this product and really hoped it was gonna like turn into a really neat video on a really unique controller Is there not a screw down there? There it is over here That's the other screw So, yeah, I this controller Has removable buttons that you can rearrange That are magnetic and I thought that'd be really neat Just like if you're someone who plays on like a Nintendo switch or Wii U And you want to like switch between that and Xbox and PC that you can move these abxy buttons around really quickly I thought was a really cool feature now the question is not those screws are off. What's next? Let's lift this up make sure there's no plus if you game on phones, of course, you know I was gonna check out that functionality as well. We're gonna pull out the the USB That it comes with here and set this over here. Yeah, I got a stain on my desk from I don't even know what that's from Spending a long time I'm not seeing any other Noticable screws So I guess you start by just trying to rip this thing apart. Let's see if it disconnects Not seeing yet. It looks like it just splits in half So it's Hmm got to start prying around the edges This might be one of those things you got a pry open as a bunch of clips I'm sure yeah, I'm not seeing any other noticeable places. Her screws would be hidden and Unless they're underneath these are they underneath the removal blood So Alright, well, I Guess we just start prying this thing apart. It's probably a bunch of clips I'm just gonna grab like a flathead here I don't have any prying tools in this I fix a kit so Just looking in here. Yeah, there's no actual prying tools. So we'll just We'll do the method that I never suggest anyone uses the pry and use a giant flathead and totally ruin the controller Let's start down here though where there's like an opening Just to see if I can get Anything Free here, right? Looks like we got one clip out there I'm probably gonna end up breaking the controller by the way. It is just a 50. It's a $50 controller $50 third-party controller and Some a lot of these controllers are extremely hard to take apart like you really have to pry on them Could these controllers aren't really built for maintenance and to take apart like you're just supposed to buy it and use it Especially these rechargeable ones You know like the switch for controllers not that hard to take apart these third-party controllers Bit more difficult So I'm not seeing I think it's just a bunch of clips I have four screws out Alright, we'll try from the back there. There's usually a trick that usually usually things slide and see it snap out together there So Sucks to you know, you're doing damage to the controller probably and then open like this again You're not meant to take these apart But They're also supposed to work when they arrive to Sorry, it could be a ribbon cable to What is it stuck on? Where is it clipped in that it's not coming off or screwed in? I hope they don't have a hidden screw underneath this rubber that would suck Like I can understand if there's like a screw right here, I'm not seeing any more hidden screws Figure it shouldn't be that hard to take this plate off this back plate off but We'll figure it out What's the what's the point of doing this unless you're gonna have a little fun, huh? Even if I can't get this thing back together cuz I completely break all the clips Interesting keep stabbing at it. It's like you know what I bet you there's a screw Somewhere underneath the sticker So there is a sticker here Let's look here. I'm sure there's one somewhere in the middle Maybe that's a total together screw in the middle. Let's Take this pick looking one and see if we can get this sticker up. So I'm sure there is a screw underneath this So it looks like There is not a screw underneath that sticker Like I thought there might have been a screw here holding it together, but there is not a hidden screw Interesting like I thought this thing was hold it up for you guys So I thought that little indent was a screw, but it's not That is not a screw. I don't think so it appears. There's no screws underneath that sticker So I just ruined that warranty sticker for no reason Hmm man, they did not make this one to come apart. There is a reset button, but that's probably pushed all the way down to the board This is not something they ever intended to come apart But we're gonna get there even if I have to break this thing See like I have it on cliff there. You can see that that's unclipped So I guess maybe if you just Stay unclipped Is there a way to take this thing off? Probably not Now without breaking it. Oh boy Well, I'll say this It's a strong build quality on the outside. I Mean I can always take a hammer to it, but then I won't really know what's wrong with it I've never had this hard of a time of prying something open. Let's get a set this Bit of so let's get another Flathead up in here Use both both way available screwdrivers and kind of wedge from both sides and kind of see if I can Notice anything I see the board. I'm not noticing anything in particular Smash it up. I mean, that's always the end solution is you know, if I can't even get it open Let's just smash the hell out of it Now I'm comfortable taking a part of electronics. So like this isn't an issue for me usually So it's okay. So it's somewhere stuck up along here Somewhere along this grip line must be some pretty strong clips Jesus that's just one solid piece. It might be No, there's got to be screws holding this and this has to be separate because it separates at the seam right here Where's the whole hammer What and don't get the hammer out Not a controller I particularly care about Not a controller I particularly care about so I'm disappointed that it came down on arrival And I'm sure the company will probably not send me a replacement after they see this video First off, we'll just try We'll try a hammer pry here. Let's get this open Let's get this open enough for the hammer to get in. All right, I'm gonna try a hammer pry Come on, come on. Come on. Wow. Wow. Wow, dude How long has it been going? Not that long guys Feels like a two-person job what I'm trying to do. It's not broken. It is now We'll get it. Guess I could always try a pry from over here, man This thing is like what's this thing made out of concrete? Damn Like I am mangled. I mean like look at this corner. I am mangling the hell out of this thing. It is not opening. I Keep feeling like I'm missing a screw somewhere, but I'm not seeing one See I'll slip and hit the keyboard. Yeah, I'll be all right I'm a professional Control I'm trying not to hit the top because if I can get it to work again I might as well try using it. Oh, I never worked in the first place if I could just get it to work Look at that. I did damage to my desk. See that dent in the desk. It's okay. This desk has seen better days I need to get a new one. Oh, man Was it still comfortable to hold? No, doesn't hurt my fingers to hold. So there's that I'm super right here. I can stand that down. What the hell? Man, is this made of like and a medium? The hardest of hard plastics Watch out for my phone. I my phone my phone's a tank and my phone's a tank It could take it God, I really want to smash it like I know there's rumble motors over here So I don't want to damage the motors I mean at what point do I just give up and sacrifice the controller just to get inside and then I'll do so much damage to it. I won't even know I Won't even know what happened like this this R1 buttons got, you know I mean, these buttons are even pushing in right now. These buttons These top shoulder buttons aren't pushing in anymore Well, it doesn't mean I can't fix that once I get in. I mean these triggers don't work Well, I'm sure like, you know, there's something's just depressed in there. I'm getting a really good wedge There's definitely a screw somewhere There has to be. No clip is that strong There has to be There has to be a screw. Maybe I gotta dig through the plastic That is not the screw bit I thought it was I was like, why am I that's really digging in that is not the bit I thought it was. This is the bit I wanted That's about how well that's about how well this controller or deconstruction is going Ho ho ho ho Oh, we got battery leak. We got battery leak We stabbed the battery And this folks is why you do not stab the back of a controller. You see this? You see that? That is the battery. Whoo. That is what you call success everyone Goes the end of that controller Let's have a dab of battery acid couple dabs on them. I don't want to touch my hands That's the end of that Hey, be careful with the control Well, that's the end of that that That controller is definitely dead. That was not You can see some of the The battery acid if it'll Focus kind of see some of that black on there battery acid. No, you shouldn't wipe battery acid off on your pants Look I am Just cleaning the bit off so I can touch it with my hand and put it back and this bit back And this bit back. So that was a pretty short-lived stream, huh? Almost burned my house down. I know but that is one of the dangers of lithium batteries is If they get punctured, it's actually better to puncture than overheat a lithium battery Puncturing a lithium battery is just gonna have to have it leak Whereas overheating can cause an explosion. It's I know I was overreacting about the explosion that smoke Was because the acid was was burning the plastic It wasn't because the battery was about to explode I kind of overreacted there for a second because I almost got some on my finger I've had battery acid on my fingers before it's not a fun experience Can you get high off that? Well? It's definitely got a unique aroma. That's for sure. Could you get high off it? Probably But I took it outside immediately because of the gases so Right now Game sir G4 Pro. What can I tell you about the game sir? G4 Pro I Could tell you that right now. I cannot recommend buying it it has Arrived at my house dead on arrival So it didn't work in the first place and it is a very Very difficult controller to take apart. I've never struggled that much taking a controller apart in my life now, I'm actually curious if It feels like there was a screw I was missing, but I just for the life of me could not find it. Let me find a Game sir G4 Pro controller tear down. Let's see if let's see if somebody's tore this down There's there's reviews of the swappable buttons But anyone actually tears now see none of these videos have anyone tearing this thing down Tearing this controller apart is not something people are doing Here's an older version Yeah, this is not the same version. This is a prior version But maybe it'll show how to tear it down right now it just shows it already apart And see if there's something I was missed see if the design is similar. Yeah, this is not the same controller. This is all one Yeah, there's okay. Yeah, the screws aren't even in the same location watching this video Let's see what happens after he gets the initial four out though Okay, got the four screws out Yeah, yeah, he's got a hidden screw under the stickers. Yeah, I did not have a hidden screw under the sticker Yeah, he's wedging the shit out of it Yeah, and he's just popped open Yeah, that is not how this controller was doing it tried that tried that Yeah, there's just no tear down to this controller anywhere. There's just some reviews Sucks cuz I'm looking at these reviews and like Looks like people are enjoying the controller Unfortunately for me. I got a dud and that dud is very difficult to take apart I have taken apart guys hundreds of controllers That's only the second time ever. I pierced the battery. I I've only pierced a battery one other time Unintentionally I didn't mean to pierce the battery So this controller I have no idea what to tell you guys, I don't know if it comes do a all the time I'm sure they're gonna be sending me another one And if they're not because I destroyed this one that's all right Not a good look for their product right now anyways It is not user-friendly for repair ability I can tell you that as someone who's experienced at repairing electronics not user-friendly for repair ability not Worth the hassle for a consumer at this juncture But I'm sure they don't normally arrived at an arrival the fact I've seen other people's reviews on YouTube tells me that other people were not getting dead units, but I did so is what it is Sometimes things do not go my way And that's the case today liquid metal cooling Xbox Series X got it did it no problem Repairing this piece of you know not really piece of crap. I should say but this Built like a tank third-party controller that was never intended to be taken apart. Yeah, we pierced the battery crap happens So yeah short stream Let me just say hi to everyone in the chat then bye to everyone So we have cash Chenupi the amazing Raptor Sabario. I'm gonna change the name of the stream this is What happens when you? Pierce a battery taking up Pierce a battery and a game controller We'll just change to that because it was a failed attempt it was a failed attempt All right, that's it then short short and sweet Nothing, that's the end of the stream. Nothing happens now controllers dead. All right folks. Peace
