00:16 my experiences with the G435, 00:57 the USB adapter issue, 2:27 more headsets need to use cloth, 4:27 Bluetooth gaming headsets should be more common, 5:37 Bluetooth downfalls, 7:18 ITX motherboard example, 8:13 Integrated Audio, 10:36 why I would like to see ITX’s more often, 12:56 check the case, 15:14 check the power supply, 17:19 ITX connections, 19:41 work around

I shared my short experience with the G435 then went in to a discussion regarding headset design, why Bluetooth gaming headsets should be more common, then ITX motherboards

I messed up with my wording in one part. I was trying to relay it is a good idea to have multiple audio options incase something fails. That meant having good integrated audio, bluetooth, and USB capability

TLDR:

I was saying that my experiences with the G435 were limited due to what I think is a faulty USB adapter. Audio was great on the Bluetooth though

I appreciated the cloth. I wish more gaming headsets used cloth or moisture wicking fabric. That fake leatherette is what caused me to move away from headsets (the most common material). With how hot it is in my area, that leatherette peels away from the sweat

Wireless headsets capable of bluetooth as well should be more common. If you are going to ask someone to spend 100-200 USD on a gaming headset, I would want to see more features that make it worth it

Perhaps Bluetooth headsets aren't common because gaming PC's don't usually have Bluetooth

I talked about ITX motherboards and why I want them to be more common. Cost wise they are a happy middle ground for wireless (on the AMD side). Presently, the Asus TUF Gaming Plus X570 is 180-200. Your best ITX's are 200-210. Mid Range ATX motherboards are 220-250. In addition to being a middle ground, ITX builds would reduce shipping costs

I did go over how to check for which audio chip and bluetooth a motherboard is using. Aim for Realtek ALC 1200 or 1220 if you plan on playing games where audio matters. ALC 887 is not the best and should only be used where audio isn't much of a factor (like MOBA games)

Then to finish the recording I went over how to check the case to ensure that it is capable of fitting a normal sized power supply and a large video card
