The Strangest Gaming Controller Feature I've Ever Tested

If you're looking for a new PC controller, Anbernic just dropped the RG G01. On paper, it looks like a premium option with Hall Effect sticks, micro-switch face buttons, and a built-in display for adjusting settings on the fly. But when you look a little closer, things get weird. For some reason, they decided to include a built-in heart rate monitor—because nothing says "casual gaming" like tracking your vitals during a boss fight. And while the initial $37 price tag looks great, the $30 shipping fee instantly kills the value proposition, pushing it into the exact same price bracket as the tried-and-true 8BitDo Ultimate. In this video, we break down the build quality, test the actual polling rate, and see if this controller is actually worth your time, or if it's just another gimmick. When I wrap up a long day of editing photos and videos here in Florida, I just want gear that works without the extra friction. Does the G01 actually deliver? Let me know what you guys think of this one in the comments. 👇 What to watch next: https://youtu.be/f8e_BW8sSqw https://youtu.be/8F7dmZxW408 https://youtu.be/j_Ezaz8-s0o https://youtu.be/gCCw5hU2WVU https://youtu.be/eh6xfmfR7BQ https://youtu.be/7MDx5dUEHjc Anbernic RG G01: 🔥AliExpress: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c4BwVgzv 🔥Anbernic: https://dub.sh/rg-g01 Anbernic RG P01: 🔥AliExpress: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DdpEIap 🔥Anbernic: https://anbernic.com/products/rg-p01?sca_ref=3598051.a1j2xf0pdZ Handhelds: 🔥RG406V (Anbernic Site): https://www.baldlyrudy.com/anbernicrg406v 🔥RG35XX H (Anbernic Site $67): https://www.baldlyrudy.com/arg35xxh/ 🔥RG35XX H (KeepRetro $75): https://www.baldlyrudy.com/krrg35xxh/ 🔥RG35XX H (AliExpress $79): https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Dd4blst 🔥RG35XX H (Amazon $89): https://amzn.to/3I7xKa3 🔥RG35XX Plus (Anbernic Site): https://www.baldlyrudy.com/arg35xxplus 🔥RG35XX Plus (KeepRetro): https://www.baldlyrudy.com/keepretro-rg35xxplus/ 🔥RG35XX Plus (AliExpres): https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DmUuTVb 🔥RG35XX Plus (Amazon): https://amzn.to/3tPyQE0 🔥RG35XX: https://www.baldlyrudy.com/anbernic microSD Cards: 🔥Samsung 512 GB A2: https://amzn.to/3KFXXPs 🔥SanDisk 1TB A2: https://amzn.to/3lXjx7Y 3rd Party Controllers: 🔥8BitDo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller: https://amzn.to/45AWAZD 🔥8BitDo Ultimate Controller 2.4g (NO BLUETOOTH): https://amzn.to/3KPc1pp 🔥Gulikit King King 2 Pro Controller: https://amzn.to/45zr9Px If you use these links to purchase anything, I may get a commission from the sale.
