Product Review

Product/brands covered in this video

This isn’t a single product review. The creator discusses brands he likes vs. brands he dislikes, plus some follow-up topics. The main “products” mentioned are software and hardware brands, including:

  • Adobe (Premiere Pro)
  • Manfrotto (tripods)
  • Peripherals from Logitech, Razer, Corsair, Pulsar, Hitecan/Hitcan, Fantic, Keychron

Key points (unique, product-focused)

Adobe (Premiere Pro) — major dislike / cons

  • Pricing: Calls Adobe’s pricing “astronomically terrible” and “way too expensive.”
  • Stability/compatibility issues:
    • Premiere Pro crashes (he notes it improved after a PC upgrade but still happens).
    • After a crash, Premiere reports the project is incompatible with that Premiere version even though he didn’t change anything.
    • He had to use an Adobe-provided downgrade tool to fix the incompatibility.
  • Workflow impact:
    • Crashes reduce his editing time and require “babysitting” footage/exports.
    • Suggests the issue worsens when he leaves the room.
  • Overall verdict on Adobe: “Greedy” and unreliable enough to “affect my downtime.”

Pros mentioned

  • He doesn’t meaningfully praise Adobe here; DaVinci is implied to be better technically, but he stays on Premiere due to the learning curve.

Manfrotto (tripods) — major dislike / cons

  • Reliability: Tripod legs supposedly break “every two years on the dot.”
  • Impact/danger:
    • Repeated collapses—he claims the camera setup can hit him in the head.
    • He estimates the camera fell ~20 times.
  • Damage:
    • Chunks taken out of his desktop from falls
    • Lens damage (though he says he was lucky it didn’t crack glass)
  • Mismatch vs stated specs:
    • He claims the tripod’s weight capacity is ~48 lb, while his setup is about ~12 lb.
  • Attempts to fix:
    • Tightening threads and trying tools didn’t resolve the issue.
  • Overall verdict on Manfrotto: Unacceptable reliability, even for expensive models.

Logitech — mixed view (not hated, but disliked for past issues)

Core complaints

  • False advertising:
    • Webcam marketed with DSLR-like stills imagery.
    • When he tested it, the result looked like “an absolute pile of [expletive].”
    • He made a negative call-out video.
  • Keyboards criticized:
    • Says Logitech keyboards/mice are behind trends (e.g., delayed adoption of newer switch/technology trends).
    • Example: a 60% mechanical keyboard released ~6 years after similar trends.
    • He frames this as overpriced relative to specs/innovation.

Pros mentioned

  • Logitech mice are very good.

Razer vs Corsair — comparison (general brand positioning)

Razer

  • Presented as “number one,” with top-tier headsets and especially mice
  • Claims Razer mice have fastest latency in his tests (mentions “OSLT latency tests”)
  • Notes strengths in sensor/technology, latency, and integrations (e.g., switch/scroll behavior)

Corsair

  • He describes a personal early bias toward Corsair due to design.
  • Over time, he says the Razer/Corsair “bias” faded as more strong brands emerged.
  • Early history:
    • Credits both brands with driving gaming tech into the mainstream (RGB keyboards mentioned; he links RGB content to his channel shift into tech)

Pros mentioned

  • Corsair gets at least some positive acknowledgment via early personal preference.

Pulsar — strong like

  • Highlights lightweight mice and strong recent innovation.
  • Praises Pulsar’s willingness to collaborate and frequent creator/event collabs.
  • Mentions multiple models/shapes: X2, X2H, X2N, X3, X2F, including left/right-handed variations and different materials.
  • Overall: the gaming mouse market feels “stale,” and Pulsar is changing shapes/materials.

Hitcan / “Hitecan” — strong like

(spelled that way in subtitles; likely “HITCAN/Hitecan”)

  • Loves their Hyperllight mouse.
  • Mentions a new mouse may be coming soon.
  • Says he previously discussed a possible collab about a year prior.

Fantic — strong like (non-gaming DIY gadgets)

  • Praises build quality and value:
    • Many items under $50
  • Examples called out:
    • 52-in-1 screwdriver (~$25) — claims it’s better than many alternatives
    • Laser tape measure and a laser leveling tool used at home
  • Mentions broad, continuously expanding offerings (e.g., chainsaw, pressure washer, etc.)

Keychron — emerging like (new products/teasers)

  • Says Keychron has “turned it on” over the last couple months.
  • Mentions teasers and directions:
    • Hot swap battery lightweight mouse
    • Trackball mouse under keyboard with built-in macro pad
    • 100-key macro pad
    • Mixer teased
    • Alice-type keyboard and a split low-profile board
    • Q8 Mini (one-key pad)
  • Overall: promising, but he hasn’t confirmed final products/availability.

Pros / cons explicitly stated (summarized by product/brand)

Pros

  • Razer: top-of-line mice latency/sensors; great headsets; strong performance in his tests.
  • Pulsar: lightweight innovation and frequent shape/material variety.
  • Hitecan/Hitcan: liked Hyperllight mouse.
  • Fantic: well-made DIY tools with strong value under $50.
  • Keychron: many interesting upcoming peripherals/keyboards (mostly based on teasers).

Cons

  • Adobe (Premiere Pro): very expensive; frequent crashes; project incompatibility after crashes; workflow disruption.
  • Manfrotto: tripod legs fail on a ~2-year cycle; dangerous collapses with heavy setups; repeated damage.
  • Logitech: past webcam marketing problem; keyboards behind trends and overpriced vs specs.

User experience / real-world usability notes

  • Adobe: Reliability is the core UX issue—crashes can happen mid-render, and problems can repeat after reopening.
  • Manfrotto: The UX problem becomes safety and reliability—collapses and damage to gear/desk.
  • General: He implies that “being present” reduces failure likelihood (describes paranoia-like effects with both Premiere crashes and 3D printing success). However, the only clear product/software connection tied to this is Adobe + his 3D printing workflow (not a specific printer model).

Ratings / numerical scores

  • No formal star ratings.
  • Numerical references included:
    • Manfrotto tripod capacity cited as ~48 lb
    • His camera setup cited as ~12 lb

Overall verdict / recommendation (based on what the video says)

  • Avoid/stop relying on:
    • Adobe Premiere Pro (stability/cost reasons)
    • Manfrotto tripods (mechanical failures + safety issues)
  • Better alternatives (implied):
    • He says DaVinci Resolve is “so much better,” but he personally stayed on Premiere due to the time cost of relearning.
  • Recommended brands (he likes):
    • Pulsar (lightweight mouse innovation)
    • Razer (latency-focused mice)
    • Fantic (value DIY tools)
    • Keychron (promising incoming products/teasers)
  • Logitech: not fully rejected—mice are good—but he’s skeptical due to past marketing and delayed keyboard innovation.

“Speaker” breakdown

  • Single main speaker (the creator) provides:
    • his personal dislike/like lists
    • comparisons (Razer vs. Corsair; Logitech criticisms vs others)
    • follow-up updates (studio space decision, nostalgia trip content)
  • No additional separate speakers meaningfully review products; only brief mentions that don’t add product evaluation.
