Introduction
YouTubers aren’t just making videos anymore—they’re designing products. From smartphone keyboards to real-life lightsabers, creators are stepping into the world of tech innovation. But are these products actually good, or just hype?
We tested gadgets from big names like Mr. Mobile, Hank Green, Simone Giertz, and Linus Tech Tips to see which ones are worth your money. Here’s our in-depth review.
1. Clicks Smartphone Keyboard – Mr. Mobile (6/10)
First Impressions
At first glance, the Clicks Keyboard looks like a joke—a throwback to the days when BlackBerry ruled. But it’s real, and it’s designed to bring physical keys back to smartphones.
The Good
✅ Tactile typing – Feels like a BlackBerry (because a Bold designer helped make it).
✅ Backlit keys – Works in low light.
✅ Frees up screen space – No more keyboard blocking half your display.
The Bad
❌ Bulky – Won’t fit in most pockets, especially women’s jeans.
❌ Wireless charging struggles – Works, but barely. MagSafe is unreliable.
❌ Heavy & awkward – The phone tips over easily when typing.
Final Verdict
If you miss physical keyboards, this might be for you. But for most, it’s a 6/10—too many compromises.
2. Reverse 3D Glasses – Hank Green (8/10)
The Problem They Solve
Some people get headaches from 3D movies. Hank Green’s solution? Reverse 3D glasses—they convert 3D films back to 2D without blurriness.
Why It Works
- Blocks one eye’s image, eliminating the 3D effect.
- No motion sickness, just a normal movie experience.
- Only $10—cheaper than skipping the film.
Final Verdict
A simple, clever fix for a real problem. 8/10—great for 3D haters.
3. Giertz Goal Calendar – Simone Giertz (8/10)
What It Does
A touch-sensitive calendar that lights up when you complete a daily goal (like meditating or exercising).
Pros
✅ Motivational – Seeing a full year of lit-up days is satisfying.
✅ Gold-plated touchpads – Overkill, but cool.
✅ Saves progress – Even during power outages.
Cons
❌ Expensive – For what’s essentially a fancy habit tracker.
❌ Touch plates can be finicky – Not as satisfying as physical buttons.
Final Verdict
A luxury habit tracker for those who love gamifying goals. 8/10.
4. Theory Sabers – Star Wars Theory (5/10)
The Hype
Star Wars Theory promised affordable, high-quality lightsabers. The Fallen Knight model (Anakin’s saber) even has:
- Exposed Kyber crystal (red & blue, symbolizing his conflict).
- Custom sound effects based on character selection.
The Reality
- Not actually made by Theory – They’re rebranded TXQ sabers (sold at double the price).
- Misleading marketing – Many buyers think Theory manufactures them.
Final Verdict
Cool, but overpriced and dishonest. 5/10.
5. LTT Screwdriver – Linus Tech Tips (9.5/10)
Why It’s Elite
- Built with MegaPro (a top tool manufacturer).
- Magnetic bit holder – No lost screws.
- Ergonomic grip – Comfortable for long use.
The Only Flaw
- Pricey – But justified by quality.
Final Verdict
The best screwdriver we’ve tested. 9.5/10.
