how’s it going everyone reckless Yuki
here and welcome to my unscripted raw
product review of these m4 if you don’t
know what this is this is a gaming
peripheral that allowed to use a mouse
and keyboard on the Xbox one PlayStation
4 PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 it is a
phenomenal device I do love this very
much especially for anyone who is
interested in using a mouse and keyboard
on a console so if you’re coming from
the PC world and you’re jumping over the
consoles for some reason this will allow
you to use your favorite mouse and
keyboard something you’re comfortable
and used to using if you don’t want to
get used to using the analog sticks and
quite frankly the mouse and keyboard
offers way superior control then a
controller can and I’ll kind of get into
that as far as my thoughts on this and
the legitimacy of using this with
console gaming while you’re playing
online I think that my viewpoint of this
has changed over the years so we’ll kind
of get into that and like I said this is
kind of raw unscripted so I’m just
basically shooting from the hip making
sure I get every detail that I can and
towards the end of the video we’re going
to go over some demonstrations as far as
me playing a game we’ll have we’ll move
the camera up here over to my shoulder
and we’ll see exactly my inputs towards
the game when I actually play so that
should be pretty fun now
my experience with the sim is about
three years ago when I was searching
around for the best products to use to
accelerate my gaming to make me not suck
as bad as I used to and I came across
the sim and back then it was a sim 3
that allowed to use mouse keyboard with
the Xbox 360 and it was a fantastic
product a lot more expensive than this
this is just going to come in about 120
hundred twenty-five dollars from the
site don’t get this from Amazon because
it’s going to be some guy who’s going to
try to rip you off definitely get it
directly from Zim and the link to them
will be in the description below as well
so 120 dollars to use your favorite
mouse and keyboard and if you’re
thinking that’s a lot of money well if
you’re in the market for a gaming
peripheral to make you better
then you’re not it’s not going to be
cheap because I can kind of go on about
scuff controllers which I do have two from
them these are for the Xbox one the
PlayStation 4 as well as had I had a
couple for the Xbox 360 and those don’t
run cheap either like the cheapest price
that if you get one of these for is like
125 dollars but then you have to start
adding the add-ons to get the extra
features like if you want four buttons
if you want them to remove the rumble
pads if you want to make sure you
these awesome dome sticks and the grip
in the back it could easily run up to
about $200 so $200 for four systems will
easily get up to $800 to have a scuf
controller for all four or you can spend
the money on a sim and then you’ll have
a hundred and twenty dollars invest in
this and if uses your favorite gaming
and a gaming mouse and keyboard to
utilize the potential of this and the
potential of the consoles to have the
best control when you’re playing those
first shooters so as far as the price I
think the sim 4 if you have multiple
consoles like me is definitely the
smartest way to go and then as far as
the legalities or the I guess uh you
know is it morally acceptable to play
with a mouse and keyboard on console
three years ago I didn’t feel it was I
felt it was kind of shaky I felt might
be unfair to those who don’t have a
mouse and keyboard mainly because I was
kind of starting out my channel and I
wanted to just you know do everything
legit so I did play with a regular
controller and keyboard I was able to do
it really well but thanks to the people
at scuff gaming who you know made it
okay to have these you know fancy modify
controllers these are not you know stock
controllers these are definitely
modified that gives a player an
advantage with these buttons to allow
yourself to jump a knife and do all
these great of these things without ever
taking your thumb off the analog stick
you know having this does that give does
definitely give you an advantage over
players who use just a regular stock
controller but because these guys really
kind of push hard in the industry to
make these acceptable at tournaments
such as any gaming tournament out there
that uses that basically allows you to
use this Cup controller which all of
them do because this is just widely
accepted because this is an acceptable
device I feel that a mouse and keyboard
are also an acceptable vice basically
with this you know back paddles you’re
basically getting the same thing if
you’re using something like a G 13 where
it has an analog sticks that you could
use to actually use move around your
person and then you have all these
buttons here to kind of initiate
whatever move you want without ever
taking your hand off the mouse which is
basically how you look around so you
have infinite amounts of control with
the G 13 and
and I feel that that is just a step up
above a scuf controller now you don’t
necessarily need that to get really good
control you have like excellent control
this but what I really like about the
sim is with the g13 you’re able to
really you know you can map everything
out exactly how you want so if you’re
jumping from the Xbox one to the
PlayStation 4 you don’t need to worry
about your analog stick being in a
different position and you don’t need to
worry about the key bindings in the back
being different you can have it exactly
the same for however you want and so
when you’re jumping between consoles the
only thing they’ll be different is when
you load it up and you know your friends
list and possibly maybe the graphics too
due to the potential hardware
performance differences of the system so
I think that because the stuff using the
mouse and keyboard is a legitimate
device to use and you know I would be
surprised if it doesn’t become you know
somewhat of the norm in the future if
we’re using anna tournaments now it
probably won’t be accepted because a lot
of people are going to be naysayers on
the mouse and keyboard saying that it’s
cheating but really a scuf controller is
cheating if you want to get into it as
far as giving you the advantage over
other players who do not use a scuf
controller and then as far as the mouse
the mouse is just phenomenal like you
can’t get the precision from a analog
stick as well or as easily as you can
with a mouse the mouse I feel is just a
really over exaggerated over hyper
control freak basically because with all
my controllers like because the analog
stick is just so small a little like I
can’t really control the sensitivity
that I need to be able to be competitive
to kind of you know like is basically
get on target as fast as I can with this
stock analog sick now there’s some
people that are able to but I’m not one
of them and I use a control freak like
again this isn’t something that came
with a controller and if you’re using
this you’re giving yourself an advantage
over others because it allows you to
control your aim easier than someone who
does not have a control freak and once
you get used to it going back to just
using a controller is really difficult
so instead of using a control freak the
mouse is basically like the control
freak so thanks to the innovations of
the guys over at scuff and at control
freaks I feel that
now it’s more acceptable to use a mouse
keyboard and that’s what I’m going to
start doing is kind of making the
push-to-start using the zoom when I do
game on consoles mainly because I have
my console set up and then I’ll have my
gaming PC back together pretty soon as
you see in the back there those are some
of my parts I’m waiting for my
motherboard to come back so I could
reassemble it and get back into the PC
gaming but for now I’ll just be sticking
with the Xbox one a Playstation 4 until
I do get that back but so that that’s
kind of like my argument to those who
say that you know using a mouse a
keyboard is not acceptable I think that
it most definitely is things to scuffing
atrophic so I’m going to get off of that
subject because I think I beat I pretty
much beat it down pretty severely so
anyways let’s move along to what this
can do now this isn’t like the best
device you could possibly have I mean
like it is the best one on the market no
one can match the zim I know that
there’s some products out there that
been around for a while and some people
who are trying to get into it like the
cronusmax and this other thing that I
can’t remember what is called I know
that new wake or I think nzi T or
whatever they they did a video on it but
the zip has no input lag and it’s just a
phenomenal device and what they do is
every time a game comes out they edit it
or they remap it to allow you to have
the proper deadzone calibration so it’s
not like this device does the same thing
for all games you basically have to have
the correct profile installed onto it to
play the specific game so you actually
get the correct feel so I mean there’s
they do a lot of hard work over at this
and making sure that it’s calibrated for
each game for each console so that’s
just kind of the dedication it takes as
n does to make sure that the product is
number one and in order to control these
in and as far as your profiles on that
you need to Android device to use it or
you can hook it up to your PC to do with
that but um I purchased a really crappy
cheap Kyocera event for thirty dollars
just to have Android device that’s
capable of doing this it has to be
updated to a certain Android I can’t
remember what the minimums were but it
definitely does have to have Bluetooth
so Bluetooth is a requirement it has to
be up to a certain level of the Android
OS in order to use the AH in order to
use the application
in order to control your Zim for so the
application I’m using is called the Zim
manager and it’s not connected yet
because it needs to be powered on – in
order for it to work and I’ll show you
that I’ll show you guys that in a little
bit and then kind of the basics of this
but I really like this this is a lot
easier than the Zim 3 was when I first
used it was getting used to it and you
have like just a ton of options to kind
of set up profiles and it’s really easy
to use with the device now this device
is kind of the touchscreen doesn’t work
all the time and it kind of is a little
bit cumbersome to make sure you get
things set correctly but if you have a
nice or Android phone then this will
just be absolutely like you won’t even
be bothered by it but if you don’t have
an Android phone if you have an iPhone
like me and you just need something
cheap the Kyocera event is definitely
way to go you don’t need to order a plan
just like get the Virgin Mobile phone
and then just don’t ever set up with
Virgin Mobile just use the phone as just
a basically a small tablet is what I did
so I think that’s about it as far as
going over the specs and what you can do
and just my thoughts on this I think
what we should do now is I’m going to
actually let’s uh let’s just show you
guys how to set it up real quick so it’s
just as you see on the back here there’s
like little ports there’s USB ports here
and then a USB port here that a mini USB
port and then a button this is what you
use to sync it up and do things but what
we’re going to do is this mini USB port
is going to go hook up to the console
this port here is going to be hooked up
to the controller because basically is
going to connect to the controller and
tell the console like hey I’m just a
regular Xbox one PlayStation 4
controller and then that’s how the
controller accepts the inputs from this
and then the these two are going to be
for your mouse and keyboard so I believe
the mouse goes on this side and number
one and then the keyboard will go on
this side so that’s basically how to set
it up and you know when you’re using the
mouse a keyboard is not exactly the same
as using it on PC with a PC you’re
basically like free to set it up to the
DPI of your choice you can like spin it
as fast as you want if you really are
able to control it but with the zim
you’re only able to go as much as the
game on the console allows you to do so
when you place the game on the maximum
settings for sensitivity for looking
around
you’re only able to go as fast with the
mouse as you are able to turn with the
analog stick so when you’re having on
mashing you’re turning the analog stick
to the left even though it is pretty
fast but that’s the maximum you could
turn so if you try to like move the
mouse faster than you’re able to the
analog stick it won’t register it like
it won’t it won’t exceed the
capabilities of the controller is
another thing I should mention when
talking about the sim 4 so I think
that’s about it I talked about
everything I need to NIST and I’m just
going to go ahead and plug this up
then I’ll show you guys the little
Android device and kind of show you guys
a menu and then we’ll get into a game to
kind of show how it looks and I’ll
change the camera up over here right so
I’ll see you back after the transition
all right welcome back from the
transition I hooked it up and I turned
on my console so now my phone will be
able to hook up with it so I’ll just
show you here I don’t have any fancy
device to capture the screen on the
Android phones is just really cheap but
hopefully this will be good enough so
you see go open and open up your answer
device it will be a program called Zim
manager you’re going to have to download
this from their actual website I’ll see
if I could try to get the link to and
put in the description below and
basically just click that and then
you’ll be presented with the screen to
connect the same you connect you have to
do this prior in the Bluetooth menus to
connect it to it but then once it’s
connected just basically hit connect and
you see it goes up to the screen and
right now it’s set at the default of
Call of Duty ghosts you hit the menu
button and then you hit load once you
already set up the game that you want
and then you hit you know whichever game
you’re playing so now we’re going to be
going into some call duty events warfare
for the Xbox one and already set
everything up so we don’t need to really
go into that but it’s pretty
self-explanatory as far as how you set
things up all right and one thing you
need to make sure you do when you’re
trying to use this yet is you have to go
into the in-game settings and turn the
sensitivity for your aiming all the way
up or else it’s just not going to feel
right so that’s basic set up and now I’m
going to you know after this next
transition we’re going to change the
camera to this and you I’ll just show
you guys a game play and it should be
good so stick around after the
transition all right welcome back from
that last transition as you see we have
some gameplay on the main screen and up
at the top left corner you see my hands
and this is the mouse and keyboard and
we’re going to pick this class for some
hardcore Kill Confirmed and what seemed
like a pretty quick transition to you
guys is actually a whole day last night
I had to cut the video short or at least
my recording time to be able to go pick
up the Leopard dog which is lilikoi
little brother oh there you go and as
you see like I move the mouse left and
right and the character moves left to
right there shouldn’t be any lag if
there is any lag that that’s because I
didn’t sync the video properly but there
is no lag caught in it or is that guy
let’s kill him and the aiming is just
superb okay so let’s go back this way
and you see with this class I’m just
running a gunning and with the mouse I
could like turn on people so fast
basically never have to really worry
about it I feel pretty good about
playing this game with this okay so no
one’s there Oh someone’s there aw damn
it how do you see him just seem through
the glass what we got him back that’s
all right there we go
we’ve taken the advantage over here
goddammit heels waiting for me put this
Russian none of this camping build crap
just keep running nice hope that they
don’t try and come after me
bring the UAV above see take any comms
that way no ok Scott that guy ready for
deployment and let’s get a system hack
going because it’s the most annoying
kill streak ever I love doing it to
people I can only imagine their
frustration growing when I do this ok so
that kinda mini map saw that guy on the
mini-map ah dammit let’s spray spray
wasn’t working I should aim down but I
think Harold’s Russian and left-right
pretty pretty good friendly UAV above
okay I’m sure where these guys are at
see no one’s around there go on around
here I’m not gonna get those guys with
my SMG oh damn it behind me
sumbitch see if I get this guy up here
yep
oh damn it oh wait that was a friendly –
motherfucker friendly on my team
shooting me oh Ken whatever people are
idiots in this game say it’s okay
Majin care package oh I saw that guy’s
soft left I couldn’t turn down him in
time
yeah if you have your stupid tank thing
I don’t care
nope online friend the UAV above where
are these guys there’s one Oh guys just
sitting in the corner all right let’s go
get him he even come and get the tag
oh no he’s singing it on the other
corner motherfucker
he just outplayed me let’s see there we
go
stupid corner camping girl nice so as
you see that’s the Zim
with how I play pretty simple and see
how well I was able to do I got the
final killcam so that’s cool for me and
if they alright there you go so 2809
rushing like an idiot with my own
teammates killing me and girls camping
in the corner so that’s the kind of
gameplay that’s pretty easy to do with a
Zim as long as you’re not you know you
don’t have like a big TV you’re able to
play on the gaming monitor then you
actually have quick response times and
you’ll be able to do really well at the
at any first-person shooter really the
precision of this is just fantastic so
that’s my review guys that was the
gameplay just kind of showing you guys
how it works and what it looks like as
far as my inputs and what I’m able to do
on the screen so hopefully you guys
enjoy I’m going to wrap it up now and
hopefully really soon I’ll be able to
not use my laptop anymore and get my
actual gaming computer going so stay
tuned for that and yeah so if you liked
the video thumbs it up if you thought it
sucked thumbs it up or thumbs it down
and I have yourselves go and talk to you
guys in the next video right but bye
*if you are a ps4 player, I wrote an article talking about the alternative ps4 controller.
