Yeah it sounded pretty good but at almost $30 it's not a great buy. Samson Meteor $33USD, there's also the new version (which I haven't used) is $22. Both on Amazon. Build quality is superior and Samson is known for their mics in live music and sound great. Metal body so if it falls of your desk it's not going to explode into a million plastic fragments. The Basics mic is going to fall apart the moment you use strong language from what I saw in this video

That keyboard is literally the Dell KB216p. I have it on my desk right now at work. They just slapped amazon branding on whatever generic E-waste peripheral Dell buys for their computers.
You can get a renewed Blue Snowball for like $1 US less, which makes the Amazon Basics mic a terrible value proposition. Even at the regular price, the cost of the Basics mic means you should just fork over another $10-15 for a new Snowball, which is very good for recording speech and music and also can be used as an omnidirectional mic.
Well that microphone is clearly the standout item, sounds great. The display too... I like how they were smart enough to not put any Amazon Basics branding on the front as well, you don't need to be constantly reminded that you went cheap but then again when the display is pretty much as good/better than anything else in its class that might not be such a bad thing.

Hi, tiny mouse are usually made for old school fingertips mouse user. Since back in the days (early~mid 90's), it was the only format available for budget people. So I'm personnaly more prone to use these... Well the gaming version of these, like the Keychron M3 Mini or Razer Viper Mini... Or when in travel for NON gaming purpose, I might also use the classic white Verbatim Optical Mouse since it is very lightweight and won't fatigue your hand in a fingertips position.
Mic surprisingly was quite good, but then again it's kinda hard to screw up a condenser mic. Though at close to $40CAD it means it's competing with stuff like a Samson Meteor and HyperX solocast. At that price I'm picking those 2 every single time.
In the US, a comparable LG monitor (180Hz vs 165Hz) is $20 more and I would definitely spend the extra $20. It is also a FreeSync panel and the Basics one just says 'adaptive sync' so it probably is some off brand implementation and might not work very well.
@Thurgosh_OG they 100% are allowed to sell electrical good in charity shops in the UK, they just have to be tested before selling for safety that's all. im pretty sure it's the same in the US aswell. I've got plenty of old consoles and electrical good from charity shops. Can't beat a bargain 👌 😊
I thought the same and wondered if LG is making them. I wouldn't be surprised. May be how they use up older screens left in their inventory or they could be cutting them down from larger panels with defects.
You know honestly I'm struggling to decide if mine is worse or not. It's a desk platform built into a wall, and it has a handy hole for running cables through to my PC, but it doesn't have much foot room due to how it's built with the PC in it, and there's not REALLY enough space to consider it a usable desk with my monitors on it. Like I can put my phone down, but even if i...say place a glass of tea down on the desk, I have very little room for it, and if I'm trying to be quick to get a drink during a game I have to be careful I don't hit my monitor.
I'll be honest, 12 years doing 12 hour shifts the gear I have is quite a bit better than the amazon basics setup. however I do live with just as much space as someone with amazon basics gear would have it doesn't sound like a bad setup for the homeless though, good to know they do better these days
I have that keyboard, but it's my emergency back-up keyboard / I randomly need another keyboard for some one-off thing I'm doing. And I agree "It's very much 'keyboard'."
That monitor looks shockingly close to an unbranded LG monitor, which would explain why it's actually good. I'd be shocked if they weren't the OEM on it.
Probably. But for $20 more, you can get one that says LG with 180Hz refresh and Free Sync, instead of some off-brand 'adaptive sync'. I use an inexpensive LG 32" 1440p 165Hz G-Sync monitor. It was $230 on sale, two years ago. Probably the regular price now. VA panels have come a long way. Motion handling and response times are on par with a midrange IPS display and the colors are so much more vivid. Black is actually black. IPS just looks washed out. I don't think I'll ever go back to an IPS display because I would need an expensive OLED display to be satisfied with one.
I will say the same as lot of people in the comments say... I have the same keyboard at work!! It came with dell Vostros PCs, good enough for office use!

Re the sponsor Corsair PSU. Why would I want manual fan control on a PSU? Surely with fluctuating loads you just want a "don't be indecently noisy when you don't need to and don't set fire to my computer" automatic fan control? Love the video as ever, just confused why I'm missing something without having an extra knob to fiddle with (fnar fnar).
about the headphones: I'm pretty sure you're talking about wireless experience. that's mostly on Windows though. if you click "disable all enhancements" you'll get the stereo sound normally provided by BT audio device. right click on volume in taskbar -> open sound settings -> top right corner open "sound control panel" -> double click connected headphones (could be two devices shown) -> Enhancements tab -> disable all enhancements. or it was on older version of BT chosen in the windows output device. my JBL headphones show the Stereo and Hands Free AG audio devices when connected. stereo device works fine and sound is crisp, while the other sounds like an old telephone and is completely monaural.
the difference in a real good chair and that stool with arm rests is i can recline mine all the way back and lay almost flat with no fear of tipping over, ive had it for just about 8 years and its still exactly the same as when it was new.
Ages ago, I used a hernia-inducing wide screen (24 inches, I think) CRT monitor at work. It barely preceded the first usable LCD displays. I would have enjoyed watching Dawid lowering that beast onto the high quality Amazon Basics monitor stand.
The mousepad hang out is the way to go actually if you play FPS games like over 6hours. The edge of the desk or the edge of the mousepad hurts my wrist, all my mousepads does that. I have to higher my seat so my arms reach down to the desk, but only my toes can touch the ground and my tights are squeezed by the desk. So after many tries, hang out mousepad is my current solution.
Amazon just had a Lightning Sale on the 27-inch version of the monitor in this video. It was being sold for $36 USD and sold out in under 2 minutes. Absolutely insane deal on a really nice monitor.
A lot of the stuff looks like they shrunk down PC peripherals, like the "gaming" chair looks like a smaller one of those stereotypical gaming chairs, just with the back shrunk waaay down, or the mouse, or the tiny monitor that looks actually pretty good (From a distance), but then you get closer and see that it's tiny

I’m surprised you weren’t more direct with your opinions about the microphone as opposed to the nuts and bolts of what I was doing. I think that actually sounded pretty awesome for the price.
I actually have the riser. I've had it since Jan 2017. It raises my triple monitor stand up just high enough to clear my pc tower. I have my dac/amp under it, which resolved some hideous ground loop interference I was getting. Most of the amazon basics stuff is just them finding a market leader item they can white label and undercutting the big name brand(much like grocery stores have been doing for ages). They're not necessarily bad, but I wouldn't trust it for anything that might need support in the future(i.e. some pc software controlled rbg or something).
i will say this the Microsoft mouse was the gaming mouse to have , it felt perfect in every way and it was one of the first mice with the laser which made it really accurate and the DPI was perfect too .
My guess for the monitor is that the OEM is in fact LG, since this does look a lot like their last year models, maybe they just reused the casing from old ones and put something fresh for the panel.
Seems like a few of those things would be for the kids' homework/gaming area; cheap stuff they can misuse and it might last until they are old enough to get better stuff.
That monitor is shockingly good for the price, like when you showed the test stuff, that's amazing. I was expecting some weird results with the colors, but no? Also that microphone is pretty darn nice. For someone who isn't familiar with the various brands of mics available, it would be a perfectly fine choice.
I'm old enough to remember the monitor-mounted speakers one would get with a Packard Bell desktop/monitor combo. Good times. And yes, it's exactly as hideous as it sounds like it would be.
I've been using that monitor stand for years now. I never had any problems with it, however I only use it for my second monitor, which is not that heavy (~ 4 kg). I'd say if you look for a really simple solution, it's definitely good and sturdy enough (even stayed alive while moving from one apartment to another). :) Also it only has that small branding on one side, so in case you want to avoid the shame of buying from Amazon Basics, just turn it around!
I have the tripod version of the stand, it is f-ing awesome. The rest is just content but felt I would chime in for those with a custom desk needing a riser.
Dawid ; Windows 10/11 comes with mouse acceleration on by default. If you are going to just spin your mouse hard and fast you should turn that off for a more consistent mouse speed
You should check to see if that's an HKC panel. This monitor, and any other cheap monitor you've found shockingly impressive. They white label for tons of companies like Koorui, AOC, etc, and are known to produce shockingly good panels for the price. Currently typing this on my rig with a 24" 1440p 165hz mini IPS Koorui monitor with an HKC panel. At the time of purchase around a year ago, this was/is one of, if not the only, panel in the world with these specs. I had to wait months for the first batch to hit the US. ~$200 shipped, with a $20 Newegg gift card rebate bonus.
If that mouse doesn't develop an automatic double click within 2 years then it's better than the Logitech M185. That chair's cushion will be flat in a month, the gas lift will break and if you lean back too much the lean function will break; it's worth dropping a few hundred dollars (or more) on a quality chair. Also if you want an even cheaper mouse mat then use the plastic insert from inside a canvas shopping bag.
I had an older style AmazonBasics keyboard and it was pretty e-wastey also, but was a surprisingly good keyboard, such as it was. All of this range is pretty cheap, pretty crappy, but it does the job and it's fairly reliable in my experience.
The mic was shockingly good, and if the speakers are as good as you say it might be worth buying for someone on a budget.
yeah,once he configured the mic it sounded pretty good .
im using tv speakers but honestly, i could barely notice the difference and wouldnt be able to if it wasnt written on screen when it switched microphones.
Or you could just buy better from known manufacturers for less money in some cases.

I've been using that monitor stand for years now. I never had any problems with it, however I only use it for my second monitor, which is not that heavy (~ 4 kg).
I'd say if you look for a really simple solution, it's definitely good and sturdy enough (even stayed alive while moving from one apartment to another). :)
Also it only has that small branding on one side, so in case you want to avoid the shame of buying from Amazon Basics, just turn it around!
Brilliant, please do some stand up or write some comedy, you'd be so good. Great vid as usual
That amazon mic isnt that bad sounded pretty decent
"That hideous biege color that just turns grosser n grosser over time" that's the funniest most ridiculous/factual sentence anyone's ever muttered
I have the tripod version of the stand, it is f-ing awesome. The rest is just content but felt I would chime in for those with a custom desk needing a riser.
Dawid ; Windows 10/11 comes with mouse acceleration on by default. If you are going to just spin your mouse hard and fast you should turn that off for a more consistent mouse speed
the amazon mic on the tablet actually sounded pretty good
Man's singlehandedly funding Jeff's Yachts
The monitor seems good, the mic is better than I would have thought too.
The mic is actually good
I noticed that sneaky Loot Lord in the background, nicely done Dawid.

Haven’t watched you in a while. Now that the algorithm brought me back, you look so much healthier. Damn!
From Marshall combo to hughes and kettner. Nice 😅
Certainly one of the PC setups of all time.
You should check to see if that's an HKC panel. This monitor, and any other cheap monitor you've found shockingly impressive. They white label for tons of companies like Koorui, AOC, etc, and are known to produce shockingly good panels for the price. Currently typing this on my rig with a 24" 1440p 165hz mini IPS Koorui monitor with an HKC panel. At the time of purchase around a year ago, this was/is one of, if not the only, panel in the world with these specs. I had to wait months for the first batch to hit the US. ~$200 shipped, with a $20 Newegg gift card rebate bonus.
If that mouse doesn't develop an automatic double click within 2 years then it's better than the Logitech M185. That chair's cushion will be flat in a month, the gas lift will break and if you lean back too much the lean function will break; it's worth dropping a few hundred dollars (or more) on a quality chair.
Also if you want an even cheaper mouse mat then use the plastic insert from inside a canvas shopping bag.
Super keen to see if you make the other levels ❤
I swear to the warp, that keyboard looks identical to the basic keyboards you get with Dell Optiplex office PCs and i've seen waaay too many of those
I had an older style AmazonBasics keyboard and it was pretty e-wastey also, but was a surprisingly good keyboard, such as it was. All of this range is pretty cheap, pretty crappy, but it does the job and it's fairly reliable in my experience.
Ah man Dawid, that keyboard, I've completed so many hours of gaming and uni assignments on that baby, brings a tear of nostalgia to my eyes
"It's not massive; But it's a little bit quieter around the back."
Being a Dell Tech, it's hilarious to see those old wired Dell keyboards rebranded lol.
I guess technically the Dell ones are also rebranded, given that Dell don't make much of what they sell.
@@FlyboyHelosimoh no doubt!
I remember when the Amazon Basic Packers won the Super Bowl.
Not defending the headphones Dawid, but at 11:14 did you try with the perspective/ isolation setting at all? just curious that's all
No
