[gray marten]

i used to like using standalone mics

[abstract warren]

After having a wired mouse for 1-2 years when I built my first PC, I can never go back to that eyesore 🥀

[gray marten]

but the convenience of a headset is unbeatable

picked up the blackshark v2 pro 2023 edition 2 years ago and its fucking amazing

[bitter sapphire]

as someone who uses an IEM i cant

[gray marten]

amazing mic quality and audio quality

[bitter sapphire]

• i hate razer

[gray marten]

i used to hate razer too

but gotta give credit where credit is due

$110 for a fifine is crazy

they are much cheaper on amazon rn

[bitter sapphire]

im not gonna spend 200$ on a headset xD

[bitter sapphire]

im from Hungary there is no Amazon

[gray marten]

ah shit

i dont see the T688 but the FIFINE K688 is $64 on amazon

thats unfortunate

yea fifine is generally a cheaper brand

110 euros is crazy for a fifine

[raven leaf]

amazon.de don't deliver there?

[gray marten]

touche

i will say one of the best $200 ive spent

been using it every day for the last two years

unbelievably comfortable

[bitter sapphire]

i think they do but i hate amazon overall xd

[raven leaf]

Understandable

[gray marten]

how can you hate amazon prime day 😭

one of the best times of the year

haha

[bitter sapphire]

after my last 120$ headset earcups died on me im done with headsets

[abstract warren]

2 more weeks before Top Pro arrives 🥀

[bitter sapphire]

like the earcups fallen off + my ears are hot under

and im fine with my 50$ IEM

[gray marten]

i actually do need to do a warranty claim on my headset LMFAO the plastic connectors at the top of my headset are cracking and breaking off

but someone in here or another discord said they had the same problem and razer sent them a new headset

so im not worried

and it just started happening after 2 years which is not bad in my eyes

[bitter sapphire]

on my Cloud 2 the headset plastic connectors are completly broken and warranty doesnt even covers it soo FUCK headsets

https://www.amazon.com/Fanmusic-TRUTHEAR-Crinacle-Zero-Headphone/dp/B0C5QWMGM6 tbh best iem that i bought a year ago

[gray marten]

wait really?

only $51

[bitter sapphire]

yes

[gray marten]

hold on i might just get them to test em out

always been interested in IEMs

what games do you play

[bitter sapphire]

R6, COD's and a few other

[gray marten]

shit imma need a standalone mic if i get IEMs

[obtuse dove]

I wonder if I shold get an OP1 8k and turn it into a budget zaunkoenig

LMAO

[safe carbon]

you could

there is someone making a fingertip shell you can 3D print for the OP1 8k

unsure about the OP1 8k v2 compatibility tho

[obtuse dove]

Might as well do a cable swap to a thin af cable as well

[safe carbon]

[safe carbon]

you will probably like it

[tepid grove]

Worth it. IEMs are awesome

[opal agate]

After 1 (one) year

G502X

[patent patrol]

is that rubber

[opal agate]

yes the rubber grip for the thumb

[vital gorge]

ugh, i hate rubber on mice

on a previous mouise i just rubbed it off.

[patent patrol]

true

[ancient mantle]

Difference between rubber grip and rubberised coating that turns back to the oil it once was. Rubber grips can hold out fine, just get dirty.

[opal agate]

What you cold rubber coating is like the soft touch plastic that was a thing mostly 5 to 10 years ago ?

[ancient mantle]

Yes, it is still used today at times, actually older than that too.

[obtuse dove]

most mice nowadays have good enough coatings that they dont need rubberized grips

[ancient mantle]

It's more a change of flavor thing, with lightweight mice being the popular thing, adding a thick slap of rubbery material not as popular.

FancyMan (@FancyMan825)

Actively promoting and encouraging the use of an accessory that requires disassembly to install, and then telling your customer that the defective mouse they got is out of warranty, because he disassembled the mouse, is quite a thing to do

Sad

[abstract warren]

Put the word ‘cancel’ after x (xcancel.com/….) for whatever post you’re looking at and you can interact and see comments/profiles for greater context

[safe carbon]

I much prefer applicable Japanese poron like pulsar supergrips (they're kinda insane)

[solid harness]

Hi today i got my maono BA20 arms but I have no experience using microphone and arms so I'm struggling in cable management how should i manage this xlr cables from annoying me using my keyboard should i use the bands?

[mental spade]

You can route it along the arm with cables ties or those Velcro straps

[jolly pulsar]

Still have no idea whay you're on about

[patent patrol]

you lose your warranty by using the product how its supposed to be used

[jolly pulsar]

That's dumb

[obtuse dove]

mice peeps, thoughts on Pulsar Supergrip?

[solid harness]

Is this right?

[mental spade]

Looks good to me

[solid harness]

Tnx 👍

[safe carbon]

I use supergrips, they honestly feel like a cheatcode

[obtuse dove]

Bro ikr

[deep heart]

Hi, does anyone have suggestions for a mousepad? This is my current setup and this mousepad gets dirty a LOT, like way too often for me to be okay with, and I was wondering if there's leather options in the same size

(I have since replaced the monitor arms with better ones so they're now aligned, please don't grill my old monitor alignment 😭)

[round lagoon]

it's fine, my monitor arm always make my monitor tilted to one side

[proper vector]

Cloth - Artisan, pick whichever firmness you prefer
Glass - Wallhack

[round lagoon]

yesh, I can recommend Wallhack SP004 if you want glass

[wet coral]

https://tenor.com/view/chicken-gif-2568640736599761295

[deep heart]

I could never, I use my setup for work mostly and gaming but the only competitive game I play is ark 😭

[deep heart]

I'll check this out ty

[round lagoon]

you could still use it work, just do mind it can make sound that. If you're really worried about that guess you can go for Artisan

[wet coral]

first sentence gave me a stroke

icl

[round lagoon]

I forgot 1 word lmao

[deep heart]

Is there any other good mousepad providers? They don't seem to make any non square pads

Which idk how they get away with because who is buying large square mousepads

[wet coral]

cloth will always get dirty over time :v

[deep heart]

That's why I want a leather one but nobody seems to know any

[proper vector]

I use this mat, I like it a lot https://vala.supply/products/cherry-blossomx-deskmats

[wet coral]

or well anything will

[hazy fiber]

Matrova, you can order custom mousepad with different surfaces

Speed, balance, control

Smooth, rough

You can order with a print too

https://matrova.com

[proper vector]

Why no one provides small mousepads anymore
I want like A4 size

[mental spade]

Because big pad good

[solid harness]

Not just pads it's universal rule

[quasi field]

Saw that the JDS Labs Element IV now has customisable loudness equalisation. If it gets crossfeed it'll easily be my most recommend dac/amp available. Transparent sound quality, and a bunch of useful features like 10-band parametric EQ and loudness equalisation to maximise sound quality

[abstract warren]

What you have isn’t really a mouse pad but more of a desk pad. I’d pick an artisan from the graphic cal sent.

[round lagoon]

mmm, my iem cable broke

Time to try Tripowin Zonie I guess

Guess I'll be earphoneless until next week

luckily I got my desktop speaker as backup

Too much for any Ryzen
Not enough for any Intel

[quasi field]

Got the Wicked Cushion Freeze pads for the Astro A50 Gen 5/X

They sound terrible. Which is what I expected based on measurements

But they are a nice comfort upgrade. I just EQed the sound of course

[white jackal]

Wtf is that hahahahaha

[quasi field]

Yes terrible

[proper vector]

[quasi field]

Sounds incredibly wooly and muddy

No fidelity whatsoever

That's how I feel most aftermarket pads are

[white jackal]

I need to find some new pads for my beyerdynamic

I got different headphones already but might as well put new pads on and use these when i travel and need headphones for gaming with laptop

[junior fern]

[ocean saddle]

Got the WCs on Maxwells and seems like it's ok?

[quasi field]

Probably because they are more similar I guess

[ocean saddle]

The Dakoni seems to change them a bit

[quasi field]

The default Astro pads are very breathable. The WC ones are tight leather ones

So another downside of the new pads is breaking of the seal will affect sound more most likely

[hazy fiber]

@abstract warren using obsidian airs on raiden, it feels like type99 😭 cyclones werent this slow

[quasi field]

Getting my earbuds in a few minutes!

[round lagoon]

yay

[abstract warren]

Plastix clears obsidian airs

More speed than airs but also greater stopping power so it doesn’t feel out of place even on slower pads

[patent patrol]

: ()

[hazy fiber]

yeah, I'm not buying more skates

[abstract warren]

Just work part time it’s only $12

Key83 is $68 so you’re gonna need to budget that one

[round lagoon]

damn, makes me want one now

[proper vector]

I thought it's some old style light switch

[round lagoon]

how is it?

[quasi field]

I've had them in my ear for a minute

But so far they remind me of the Moondrop Variations I used to own

These feel more comfortable so far

A bit more upper treble than my Kefine Delci. Less bass

[round lagoon]

That's actually perfect for me. I like bass when it's less.

fuck I might get it then since it combines both what I like (comfort, and less bass than usual).

[quasi field]

It's a pretty Harman compliant piece of earbuds

A bit more warmth in the 200 Hz region

[round lagoon]

how's the comfort after more use?

[quasi field]

This is compared to the Variations I had

[quasi field]

It's very good I'd say

The shells are smaller than I'm used to so they are more compatible

[round lagoon]

nice, another person that says it's comfortable.

[woven cairn]

I hate people who do this

[ocean saddle]

What are you going to upgrade to if the 9800X3D is temporary? feels like the 9950X3D would be waste of money otherwise

[woven cairn]

depending on how good Zen 6 is or the lane settings i will go with a 10/11800X3D or 900X3D if rumors are true about 12 cores in a single CCD

[rigid dagger]

that would be awesome

I mean I have a 9800X3D so I will be fine for the next 2-3 gens

[proper vector]

If all you do is gaming and using your PC as usual then it is a waste of money
I have script which turns off second CCD's cores when I'm not running VMs or whatever, games run better, eats less energy too

[woven cairn]

for gaming and shit? Yes, it is a waste of money, but when do i need use the full potential of a motherboard?

like my X570 board i.e. ran at a flat line LLC, extremely tight RAM timings and other shit a simple 200€ board could never handle

• the board i use now has 60W PD for the front USB, has BCLK insulation for the CPU and much, much more

[ocean saddle]

Yeah was thinking gaming only

[woven cairn]

it's not perfect with the PCIe lane sharing, but idc. Games and other stuff don't profit from PCIe 5 NVMe's anyway. The only benefit is the transfer speed from one drive to another on the same board. Do i need it? No. So if everything goes to plan i'll simply change the NVMe speed to 4x4 and dedicate 4x4 to the capture card. That way i'm avoiding lane sharing and still get everything to run at its native speed

Yeah I’m only fingertip so that why it’s interesting for me

Im still thinking about getting those two

[sinful swift]

Got my Zero soft today, absolute gorilla grip, maybe slightly faster than the gsr3 but it feels higher quality, the finish is kind of grainy which some people complained abt but i dont mind it

[hazy fiber]

Nice

[abstract warren]

Yeah that’s the texture, otsu kinda feels like a mildly rough cork material, hoping Key83 feels smoother

Kinda regret using Raiden bc now I’m accustomed to a silky finish

[hazy fiber]

same

[sinful swift]

When I ask this I get blocked

[woven cairn]

@deep hawk Now it's time to peel it off

or is it?

to peel or not to peel. That's the question

[bitter sapphire]

peel

[wispy blaze]

Raiden so nice

[jolly pulsar]

i feel like it would look better without the rgb cables

Is it just me?

They look really out of place

[vital gorge]

man, that so ugly

[jolly pulsar]

Like there's back sleeved cables next to rainbow white rgb cables it just looks really out of place, would be better if it was all one color

The fans they can work depending on the color of the rgb but the cable's base being white just messes it up imo

Mobo and top rad look nice together tho

[vital gorge]

Yuk. Stick it in a nice non transparant case, and it'll be fixed :p

[proper vector]

I mean the mobo is nice, just that ROG LEDs sucks

[vital gorge]

But I'm also a weirdo that believes a PC would be on the floor

[jolly pulsar]

Pc on floor club

1khz is all you need for a mouse

2kHz
You can definitely see a difference in smoothness between 1 and 2kHz on high-refresh monitors
But 8kHz is pointless

I have a 480hz monitor and I can just about see 1khz vs 2khz, but it's not a game changer 😅

[heady zenith]

WHY.......

Why not

[heady zenith]

because its not a driver

Nah see you now need that web browser running to make that hardware do anything

you guys were right, it do be looking better without RGB cables

@deep hawk still not peeled

Why not peel it off?

[hazy fiber]

@abstract warren Breeze is here. I thought Raiden was the finalboss of smoothness, but apparently not. You are getting literally 0 feedback with Breeze lol. Feels so nice

[abstract warren]

I need a breeze irl with no AC

[hazy fiber]

I think you should try it, also it's dirt cheap so

Definitely maining it

[abstract warren]

Errm not before you try plastix dots

[hazy fiber]

Using full size jades right now, Breeze is pretty squishy, I don't think using dots is a good idea lol

[abstract warren]

You can use dots, probably just not hardened PTFE

I never had any issues with the usual
Obsidian dots, but trying obsidian air/plastix was a no go on soft

[lament siren]

what colour should i get ?

@abstract warren @surreal rock

[proper vector]

5th one

[lament siren]

purple

[abstract warren]

Anything that isn’t lilac purple or the default purple is wrong

[patent patrol]

what are those 50-70 dollar endgame tier mice

[elfin kayak]

Case hardened baby

[lament siren]

i was thinking either white or silver and what switches did you recommend back then? Omron or the other one?

[abstract warren]

Omron always

The exception to that rule is my love of the Ulx which has mechanical switches unfortunately, but I always go for omron when possible

[lament siren]

bet i'll buy it after work

whats this drg model i see

its their newer stuff?

[abstract warren]

Special edition one I believe

[lament siren]

some reason the green drg reminds me of n64 donkey kong console

what about burple?

[surreal rock]

Dark Purple

[abstract warren]

Flip a coin between lilac purple and dark purple

10-15 times

[hazy fiber]

purple

I have silber

[abstract warren]

Actually now that I think about it, lilac purple is ultra instinct color 🫦

You know what you must do

[lament siren]

i would say white or silver is

[abstract warren]

It has a white/light blue diamond purple color so the only suitable one is lilac purple

[lament siren]

how about i buy them all

[lament siren]

its like wearing outdoor shoes while your in the house or wearing sandals while youre in bed

nice pc build the aio pump you have is very good but installing it such a b**ch

[sharp epoch]

Does anyone here know if there are any differences between these two? If so, which one should I buy for my Finalmouse ULX? I also have an SP-004 glass pad.

[hazy fiber]

Obsidian Airs are newer and they will have a quieter glide, because of foam layer between the adhesive and skate. Get either Obsidian Airs or Obsidian Pro Airs, depending if you want faster glide or slower.

[vital gorge]

Heat disapation

[abstract warren]

Are those donut skates the same as the pro airs or different skate?

Deadass can’t see the pic 😭

[sharp epoch]

Well it says here that they are variants

[abstract warren]

Typically tho, any donut skate will be roughly like 10-15% slower than their dot counterparts.

I have Plastix dot skates atm and they feel great so far on my Ulx on both cloth and Kazemi

Since you have SP004 might be worth trying those and if you need more control go for the pro air dots

[hazy fiber]

afaik U-PE is WallHack x X-Raypad collab and they are older than Pro Airs / Airs

Just get newer version

[sharp epoch]

Alright, thank you so much ya'll

[obtuse dove]

Lowkey kinda want to get the Artisan POM dots

Unless there are other POM mouse skates that I am not aware of

[abstract warren]

There might be others but you’ll have to go searching for them prob

[hazy fiber]

I doubt

[obtuse dove]

Yeah, I know POM has pretty low friction against other surfaces and is quite soft.

[hazy fiber]

Can't imagine myself using artisan dots on Breeze lol

[obtuse dove]

POM wears nicely though

It's not as severe as ptfe

[abstract warren]

If Key83 feels like a much slower glass pad artisan skates going to go hard

[obtuse dove]

POM is used a lot in stuff like plastic gears and such

[hazy fiber]

I need more time but sometimes I literally lose my crosshair, because Breeze is so smooth lol

No feedback while gliding

I don't know if I like this

[abstract warren]

Sounds like someone needs obsidian skates

[obtuse dove]

I do wonder though, what makes obsidian ptfe 'hardened'

[wispy blaze]

I wanna try then on Raiden

[obtuse dove]

because I have heard of Teflon (brand name), 100% Virign grade, and modified PTFE, but not 'hardened'.

[vital gorge]

It's all forever chemicals that stay in your bloodstream.

[obtuse dove]

Well yeah duh, it's a PFAS.

[abstract warren]

The red ones aren’t, the obsidian air (purple) are I believe

[obtuse dove]

Ah

[wispy blaze]

Gonna lick the ptfe dust off my glasspad 🔥

If i eat forever chemicals i will live forever

[deep hawk]

Yes

[obtuse dove]

Nah, it just stays in your body and doesn't do anything because ptfe is inherently inert lol

[deep hawk]

Why limit yourself to microplastics when you could eat macroplastics?

[wispy blaze]

Sounds like propaganda to me

[wispy blaze]

🔥

[hazy fiber]

both are hardened ptfe

[obtuse dove]

If you ever ate with plastic utensils or drank from a plastic water bottle you almost 100% have microplastics in your body lol

[hazy fiber]

purples are just improved version of reds

[abstract warren]

Never had any issues with red on soft, but both plastix and obsidian airs felt like absolute shit on soft pads

[obtuse dove]

Diff shape or an improved version of ptfe?

[hazy fiber]

more durable, quieter on glass

but slower

[obtuse dove]

Interesting

[abstract warren]

Reds don’t sink in, both others were falling into quicksand

[round lagoon]

Macro nutrient, exactly what plant want

[obtuse dove]

I wonder what formulation of PTFE they used or what additives they used this time

[abstract warren]

Ah I see it’s the difference between “hardened” and “especially hardened”

🤓👍

[obtuse dove]

I know some places that add fillers to ptfe like graphite, carbon fibers, etc to make the ptfe stronger.

Or surface treatments

[rigid dagger]

how are they?

[round lagoon]

Just brought it

Wait like 1 week

[rigid dagger]

sure

[round lagoon]

hopefully it's good, my mom is not too please of me getting it

[blissful gust]

Saw something bizarre today

There's a shop in the UK called "B&M" which is kinda your budget food//household/garden sort of store.

And they have electronics but it's usual crap you see, oem headphones, keyboards etc... for the first time in my life I saw a razer product... I was actually really surprised I took a picture lol

Never in my life have I ever seen a branded product in B&M electronics and of all things the only one here was Razer....

Usually B&M sells stuff that doesn't sell in other stores

Eg I get my pop figures from there as they sell them super cheap.

@heady crystal have you ever seen this? Iirc you're from the UK.

@heavy wasp?

[round lagoon]

ahh, my first branded gaming mouse

[heady crystal]

I have not seen it.

Not been in the UK for the last week either

[heavy wasp]

I can’t even remember the last time I was in a B&M lol

£20 seems like a good price tho?

Long time since I bought a mouse, still got a deathadder from 2013 hanging on

They’re not too far away from me so it wouldn’t take too long for it to arrive with priority mail

They’re like 1-2 states over

mine have to take a plane across the sea

at least it's not 3 weeks sea shipping this time, unlike my monitor

[frigid ivy]

what aree those?

[abstract warren]

Xenns Top Pros

new IEMs that came out last month iirc

[round lagoon]

hopefully it's worth $500

Been somewhat looking at ~500 iems lately

maybe Rockies/Mega5est/Hype4

[abstract warren]

I had the original tops and they were like $50 more expensive. I loved their tuning

[frigid ivy]

or maybe even just the blessing 3

[abstract warren]

Top Pros are tuned similar to the Thieaudio MK3/4s and they're 2x the price

[abstract warren]

$500 for me was kind of the sweet spot for IEMs. Have tried so far Yanyin Canon 2s (didnt like), Xenns Top (absolute cinema), FiiO FA19s (good, but too neutral) and Kiwi Ears Astrals (steal for the price)

[frigid ivy]

I do like fiio in general

been using FF5 for a while now

[abstract warren]

Using Astrals right now, but the Top Pros should be coming in stock next week so figures crossed I dont have to wait another 2 weeks ;_;

[frigid ivy]

though I'm, still waiting to get my perfect over ears

[round lagoon]

man, I really want my iem now. I can't listen to music at 12am without potentially waking up my neighbor.

pls arrive at monday/tuesday

[abstract warren]

I have my kinera cable just chillin while I wait for the pros

[round lagoon]

[abstract warren]

got them floating IEMs special edition

[proper vector]

Floating?

[frigid ivy]

man all these iems are like a giant chicken nugget size, any 500-1000 ones that are more compact?

I know the sennheisers are pretty small

[quasi field]

Meze Alba are small

[frigid ivy]

interesting

[abstract warren]

The more drivers put into the IEM the more chicken nuggety it'll be

[frigid ivy]

64audio looks pretty compact

[abstract warren]

ive never really had any major discomfort from the more blocky ones, but the nozzle size/ear tips will matter more for comfort imo

[bitter sapphire]

well spent 210 euro

[terse ferry]

Didnt know we have iem nerd here @frigid ivy

[frigid ivy]

more of a over-ear headphone buy, but kinda want to get into IEMs more

[blissful gust]

I wish iems didn't kill my ears

[terse ferry]

Just use normal volumes

[twilit flame]

means fitting

[abstract warren]

IEMs are very tip dependent (some more than others), you really gotta go the full 9 yards to find what fits best

[frigid ivy]

at least high end iems comes with like 20 tips

[terse ferry]

Nozzle and tip

Also ear dependand and tune

[terse ferry]

Ngl hexa is all you need

[frigid ivy]

I'm past the value stage, I've been itching for kilobuck over ears and maybe something nice to IEMs too

[abstract warren]

I wouldnt go too far into kilobuck IEMs first without pinpointing what you want to a T first since tuning can really make or break a set

i guess theres always the Subtonic Storm

[terse ferry]

Hexa is good neutral set without spending 300usd

[blissful gust]

Well

I meant my wish my ears didn't kill iems

My left ear is beyond rucked and I've ruined every left earbud I've ever had.

[terse ferry]

What do you mean by this?

I guess ear wax..

I stopped using in ears as well, it over time clogs my ear

[wispy blaze]

Artisan dots, xraypads jades, ghost glides

The artisan dots are probably fastest

[wispy blaze]

170 usd for the newer one

170 usd for 3d printed mouse, W

[patent patrol]

i mean 3d prints aint cheap

[frigid ivy]

3d printed plastic is cheap as fuck, it's the r&d cost that is high

[patent patrol]

more expensive then mold

[frigid ivy]

and that r&d wasn't good enough apparently

bruh, metal mold dies are expsensive

the main advantage of 3d printing is rapid prototyping

[patent patrol]

kinda a one time investment

[frigid ivy]

dies are easily 10s of thousands

[patent patrol]

not sure if that reddit post is to trust

lots of missing information

[heady zenith]

only en masse

if you wanna do r%d samples than 3d printing can be quite good for rough models

then youd cnc a few smooth ones close to injection mold quality to check

[frigid ivy]

yeah and cnc nice dies is exspensive

[heady zenith]

injection molds are like the last step and cost 5-6 digits depending on how big it is

[patent patrol]

like the first batch that released is 1000 units for the new one

[heady zenith]

thats still feasible with a 3d print farm

now if you keep doing batches though id why youd keep investing in 3d prints

[patent patrol]

maybe hes happy enough with it

and i mean he probably invested like 30k+ into printer stuff now

lol

[heady zenith]

oh its printed by themselves? not even a professional print farm?

[patent patrol]

ye he does everything by himself

[frigid ivy]

even the QA?

lol

[heady zenith]

like i get wanting to self produce but damn the molded parts would prob be cheaper if they invested 5 digit amounts just to print themselves

[patent patrol]

the guy probably just raged way too hard

[patent patrol]

he said that he isnt able to make the unibody one as a mold

without compromises

so it will forever be 3d printed

[heady zenith]

huh

[serene scaffold]

you wouldn't say this in the optimum server tho

[heady zenith]

wonder why its not possible

[patent patrol]

he said it there

[patent patrol]

probably design limitations

[wispy blaze]

Where did he say this?

Last I remember a 3rd party is doing all the printing for him

[patent patrol]

watch his videos lol

[patent patrol]

ye previously

[wispy blaze]

And he's doing all the printing for the new one with finalmouse internals?

first one was 3rd party, second one not sure, this one done by himself

I can barely feel the iem on my ear

[proper vector]

Aren't those standard 6mm nozzle?

[round lagoon]

yesh

[round lagoon]

First impression. I found this IEM to be quite nice to listen classical music with. A lot of my older iem/speaker doesn't quite get the minor detail that my ear half expect from an acoustic piano.

But it kinda makes the EDM/Rhythm game music that I'm used to listen to feels 20% empty.

[quasi field]

Just EQ. Problem solved

I EQ mine

[round lagoon]

nah, too lazy. I'm okay with just listening to classical stuff.

[quasi field]

Lazy? It's incredibly quick and easy though

You are shooting yourself in both feet

[round lagoon]

waow

my only problem with EQ is that I cant do it at the arcade unless the cabinet itself got its own EQ option

[tulip tide]

Talking about IEMs, do you guys have any eartip recommendations for oily ears? I've seen people recommend the AZLA SednaEarfit MAX

[abstract warren]

I’ve liked the azla sednaearfit maxes and lites for that

[quasi field]

The arcade?

[round lagoon]

Yep, rhythm game

[tulip tide]

Was it a struggle to fit a widebore IEM? 5.8mm nozzle

[abstract warren]

If it’s wide you just gotta get an angle on the nozzle and kinda slide it in if that makes sense

That’s what I had to do for my Xenns tops originally and I think those had kind of a wide nozzle

Might take a few tries at first, but should be doable

[quasi field]

How do you plug the earbuds into it? USB-C or analogue?

Cheers, I got the Xenns Mangirds 😅

[abstract warren]

Hmm I got mine via Amazon

Not 100% sure if this is an eu vendor but try hifigo

[proper vector]

There are several listings on Amazon.de

[tulip tide]

But they ship from Amazon US :)

[heady zenith]

is that bad?

[proper vector]

This one ships from EU https://www.amazon.de/-/en/AZLA-SednaEarfit-MAX-TWS-Pairs-Black-grey/dp/B0B48STN4Z

[tulip tide]

These are TWS, they are different from Standard

[proper vector]

Ah

[tulip tide]

Yeah, they don't ship to my country 😅

[proper vector]

They don't ship to EU at all

[heady zenith]

i dont understand

[proper vector]

Most of Amazon stuff from US is like this

[heady zenith]

huh usually those got hidden

the amazon.com listing does ship to EU cause its not by amazon themselves? wot https://www.amazon.com/AZLA-SednaEarfit-Standard-Pairs-Size/dp/B0B48LS1SN?sr=8-3

[proper vector]

Yeah, looks like AZLA handles packages in this case

[heady zenith]

still weird they dont show this specific listing on eu amazon then

[proper vector]

$30 + $11 shipping is not that bad from US

[heady zenith]

amazon innovating again. they dont want money anymore so they just show listing that cant ship to you from other regions even if there is listings in the region that ship to you

[proper vector]

I think it's a tad too expensive to handle shipping US<->EU for free with Prime, so they push it onto customers and sellers

the only annoying part is my IEMs feel a bit sticky after having them inside for a while 💀

[round lagoon]

Okay, back home

One thing I can say about the Alba is that it's very non intrusive

Like when playing song, it feels like it's a background music that you can choose to listen to.

Also the included usb C dac is nice

hi guys, I have currently a rtx3070, and was thinking about an upgrade. any recomendation? the 5070 got my attention but i dont know much so I am open to listen any advice

[wispy blaze]

I would recommend taking a look at amd options

If your mainly just gaming the price to performance with amd gpus is 👌 👌

Take a look at 7800xt/7900xt, and the 9070xt

[rigid dagger]

I upgraded from a 3080 Ti to a 9070 XT and I really love it. Solved a lot of my issues without creating any new ones for me!

[obtuse dove]

If you can find one that is

Although finding Nvidia gpus that are in stock is even harder

Once saw one 5080 in a Best Buy, it was gone 2 days later

[wispy blaze]

Way easier to find at decent prices than anything nvidia

As a Canadian at least

[obtuse dove]

yeah lol

[jolly pulsar]

night have you looked at gpu prices recently

I feel like you haven't

Rn the only card you can find at msrp is like the 9060xt

On the amd side

On the nvidia side... there's a lot more cards at msrp w the 5070 and 5080

Or hell even under msrp

Like a year ago yeah amd was easier to find for cheaper but since the 90 series only one reliably at msrp is the 9060xt

[wispy blaze]

I haven't seen a single msrp nvidia card that isnt a bottom tier model

Was looking at them like 2 weeks ago for my brother

[jolly pulsar]

There's plenty of 5070s at msrp (750cad) and 5070 tis under msrp (1050$cad instead of 1200 beings them pretty damn close to the 9070XT especially if you care about RT )

Hell i saw some 5080s below msrp lol

I saw one for like 1399cad a few days ago

@wispy blaze

I'd argue a 70/80 class isn't a bottom tier gpu

And if you're refering to the cooler welp... most coolers even on cheaper models are fine, performance difference is negligible.

The 9070xt sits at 900-1200 depending on the model) sometimes 850cad if you're lucky. Msrp is like 800cad

tldr both companies are fucking us over

But rn nvidia is easier to get at msrp

intel please save us

[lament siren]

yeah they up the fucking price >:3

[lament siren]

also dropping like 1.5k-2.5k

depending on the model

[obtuse dove]

Logitech G502 X

too many

[hazy fiber]

Viper V3 Pro

[sinful swift]

thats a heavy boy

[sinful swift]

I was thinking about upgrading my v2 to this

I genuinely might go for it

[hazy fiber]

If you want medium/big mouse sure, if you want to try small mouse check x2 crazylight

also Lamzu Maya X is very good medium size mouse

[sinful swift]

is the v3 bigger than the v2?

[hazy fiber]

Yes

It feels bigger in hand

[abstract warren]

Baya x goood aaiimm

[sinful swift]

my hand length is 20 cm, width 10, circumference of 22 cm

[abstract warren]

If you want a good comp mouse i would stick to Viper V3 pro shape, but see if you can find one that isnt 55g (or better yet buy ZEN 8K Mod-Kit)

cant get a better one larger than it outside of DAV4 but 55g is kinda ass in big 2025

[hazy fiber]

Get either viper v3 or maya x

Maya X is really good. 47g, great performance and has a web software

Lamzu web soft is prob my favorite so far

If it wasnt such a shitty carbon comp and had opticals

Perhaps id spend the money for it

But knowing how ass their carbon comp is im gonna pass

[abstract warren]

its not terribly different from pwnage carbon comp, they all kinda feel the same that aren't full plastic bodies

I just snagged a brand new viper v3 pro for 100 bucks flat on eBay

[sinful swift]

@hazy fiber tried the tiger ice v2? unsure how they compare to the jades, the jades may be a touch too slippery for me even on the artisan zero soft (using full size)

[hazy fiber]

Yeah, ice v2 is a a bit slower but they are very similar.

[hazy fiber]

Try full size obsidian reds. At first they are fast but they will slow down

[sinful swift]

I tried those they’re completely impossible to use for me theres so much friction it feels like dragging a log through mud

[hazy fiber]

Did you let them break in?

[sinful swift]

Corepads felt more or less like stock

[sinful swift]

I tried for a few hours then gave up

Im assuming it shouldn’t take longer than that

[hazy fiber]

Few hours isn't enough

[sinful swift]

Then it isnt a product worth buying

It shouldn’t take days to make mouse skates usable, when I say they were unusable I truly mean it I could not play any of the games I played it wasn’t just not satisfactory it was genuinely unusable

Maybe that’s different on a faster pad

But from what I could tell they were just not designed for my pad

At least full size

[hazy fiber]

🤷‍♂️ They are fine on Raiden for me.

[serene scaffold]

hel6yh yeah6yh

[hazy fiber]

@sinful swift Then try Ice v2, they are not as slippery as Jades.

[sinful swift]

Sadly no stores sell them here

Not on amazon, any of the usual peripheral stores, shipping it here would be 50usd

@fringe stump I just like smaller mice, that's it. Still have Viper v3 though and it's very good.

No

[sinful swift]

You have any prior experience with using glass skates or glass mousepads?

[hazy fiber]

Yes, glass skates develop scratches and they ruin the surface of your pad

[sinful swift]

Ooof. Maybe not then

I presume that the stock glides are superior then

[hazy fiber]

Just get fast PTFE skates like X-Raypad Jade or Unusual Way Magic Ice

[sinful swift]

👍

[hazy fiber]

Stock skates are garbage most of the time

Third party skates are always better

[sinful swift]

They seem to be seriously cheap as well

[hazy fiber]

Yeah

I never had 3rd party skates before

I've always used the stock skates on my viper v2

Worth a try

+1 on 3rd party ptfe over glass, but how much debris is on your mousepad for the skates to develop scratches?

ig if you have something like an artisan or any premium mousepad, i could understand the apprehension but i feel like that's more of an over-worry kind of thing

[bitter sapphire]

my xraypad's are still in the package

i always used the default skates on mouse

[abstract warren]

Imagine running stock skates in big 2025

[sinful swift]

This has to be propaganda

[bitter sapphire]

i do

even on glasspad

[abstract warren]

not at all 90% of stock skates are pure mud

maya x stock skates were ass cheeks, same with WLmouse

[sinful swift]

Your propaganda worked

I just ordered some skates

[abstract warren]

only half way decent ones are razer

[sinful swift]

oh lucky me

I been using my viper v2 skates forever

[abstract warren]

once they wear down then its kinda GGs but they're dec

[hazy fiber]

[twilit flame]

[abstract warren]

Key83 + artisan dots is super goated

[hazy fiber]

Razer skates are fine

[abstract warren]

nah rip those boys off

[hazy fiber]

Other brands are cheaping out on skates

[abstract warren]

use your mouse base at that point

those are chalked

[hazy fiber]

Lojitik skates are pure garbaggo

[abstract warren]

never ripped anything off faster than my WLmouse dots

[twilit flame]

i dont got anything else but stock skates and the extras they provide lol

[abstract warren]

close second was those maya x 0.0001mm thickness skates those were also hot ass

[hazy fiber]

Don't listen to Varedis, stock WLmouse skates aren't that bad (black ones)

[abstract warren]

nobody listens to me so you're in luck

[hazy fiber]

[wet coral]

im using obsidian airs on a glass pad

speaking of skates i should replace mine around now

[sinful swift]

so these skates are a lot more common than I thought

Will these skates help me escape from bronze rank

[wet coral]

no

[sinful swift]

Ah shit

[wet coral]

well

[abstract warren]

If you don’t mind slightly more noise, plastix skates are goated for fps on glass

[wet coral]

but that depends on more things

[abstract warren]

And are more durable

Worth a try imo

[wet coral]

[abstract warren]

Bros not ready for the crunch, mods unmod this guy

Kicked out of his own church on his day off type shiii

[twilit flame]

cheese has to be melty

not burnt

for cheese is for flavor

not crunch

[abstract warren]

It’s when it melts and is slightly orange with a crunch

Like a good quesadilla 🫦

[lament siren]

cheese is good

🫦

[bitter sapphire]

[abstract warren]
