[orchid python]

ordered it 10 months ago got it for 2 weeks there hasnt been a problem im running everything out of the box

im using two modes one for normal gaming and typing and one with tachyon and other mods switching between modes is seamless

[glass kraken]

what else did you look at? I want a full size and HE board but its expensive tbh

[hazy fiber]

2HE is the only full size HE keyboard

[glass kraken]

https://www.keychron.uk/products/keychron-k10-he-wireless-magnetic-switch-custom-keyboard?variant=46885131649194

there are others

[round lagoon]

It's kinda bad though, you are locked to using their switches as opposed to switches Wooting 2HE support.

[orchid python]

80he but i had to wait months

[round lagoon]

Which is everything that wooting 60he and 80he support.

[glass kraken]

bad how? This would be my 1st HE board

[orchid python]

i also looked at steelseries apex pro but it has soldered switches

[round lagoon]

Imagine 3-4 years down the line, one of your HE switch broke. Now try to find a replacement switch and you'll struggle to find it.

[orchid python]

and i imagined how my W switch stops working 1 month after warranty

[glass kraken]

fair point

[round lagoon]

Wooting 2HE support the most made kind of switches

also I would imagine for Wooting to keep producing lekker and support wooting 2HE with bug fixes and next Wootility version for another 3-6 years.

[orchid python]

the minus of the two he vs the 80he is the two he has only 2 years of warranty and the 80he has 4

[round lagoon]

Also it's going to get knob, the kind where you can place them everywhere on the keyboard, sacrificing one of your keys.

[hazy fiber]

Don't touch keychron. Their keyboards aren't hotswappable, software is hot garbage, performance is worse than Wooting, their customer support is horrible.

If you want more reasons to avoid Keychron check this

https://www.reddit.com/r/BudgetKeebs/comments/1m8fek4/keychron_admits_to_manufacturing_defects_with/

[glass kraken]

thanks I appreciate not having to learn the hard way...

[glass kraken]

I am dead set on a full size though....any refreshes / new products I should wait for - looking to buy in the next 3 weeks

[round lagoon]

Don't set your hope on it, Wooting kinda iffy about making the next 2he

[hazy fiber]

No new products are planned.

Keep in mind that if you plan to mod your keyboard, your options are very limited. You can only swap switches and keycaps pretty much.

No compatible cases

[glass kraken]

tbf I dont really want to tinker just move off a crap Razer that I bought during the pandemic

[hazy fiber]

Oh, then get TwoHE and call it a day. It's still a good keyboard. Wooting's software is the best out there and you will have consistent software/firmware updates for years.

Also it comes with 2 years warranty

[round lagoon]

and soon a detachable knob

[magic anvil]

Beast X Max or Lamzu Maya X ? anyone have a good review about both of them and which one should i take ?

[proper vector]

I'd go with Lamzu personally

[magic anvil]

i already have wl mouse but the shape in the middle its not that comfy

[abstract warren]

If you want magnesium, Beastx max. If you want plastic shell or want a mouse that can do both glass and cloth pads, maya x

[plain schooner]

There's a better option if they want Magnesium

https://www.razer.com/gaming-mice/razer-viper-mini-signature-edition

[abstract warren]

that shits too small dawg

[plain schooner]

Viper V3 Pro in magnesium would be so cool

[abstract warren]

it would be like G502 unfort

that and you still get razer optical switches instead of gigachad omrons

[plain schooner]

Wow! Razer Synapse 4

[magic anvil]

what different between magensium and plastic tho ?

[abstract warren]

ones metal and ones plastic. Magnesium to the touch will feel different and will feel cooler than generic full body plastic. I happen to like magnesium mice more, but theres very few good ones

[magic anvil]

so should i take the wlmouse beast ?

[abstract warren]

just depends on what your priorities are/what you want. the beastx will sound louder than both CF composite/full body plastic mice, but both are good performance wise (own beastx pro and maya x)

no wrong choice between the two, I think the web software is a little bit better for Lamzu but havent touched my beastx in a few months

[magic anvil]

i play bf games alot and cs too

i already have WLMouse Fabulous Beasts one ( small ) the thing is its good but the shape of it in the mid after 1 hour of use start to be annoying that why im willing to get a new mouse but closed in every way

[wispy blaze]

Beastx 💪 💪 💪

Lamzu makes solid products too, cant go wrong with either

[wispy blaze]

This is a solid side max

[magic anvil]

is this the milky white color ?

[wispy blaze]

Yeah

[hazy fiber]

Pick the layout you prefer :)

[vital gorge]

I want the dedicated keys so 80he for me

[plain schooner]

The extra keys are nice so 80he

[abstract warren]

What’s your current keyboard

[radiant mango]

I have a random Chinese “he” keyboard so anything is an upgrade

[round lagoon]

Is it a tkl, 75%, 65%, or 60%?

If you cant tell, just give us the name of the keyboard

[abstract warren]

If you don’t have a love for 60% I’d just get 80HE and call it a day

Or go for 60HEv2 if you just want a better stock experience

If you don’t plan on modding it at all

OP1 8K v2
no logishit

i would pick a razer mouse first xD

[hazy fiber]

Viper V3 Pro, shape is similar to Superlight but everything about it is just better

[foggy relic]

Il look into it cheers

All the pros be using logitech you know so thats the reason i was leaning into it

[bitter sapphire]

bc they got sponsored by them

[proper vector]

Logi, SteelSeries and Benq/Zowie

i hope theyd make the next one more power efficient or a bigger battery while keeping the weight around the same

battery life is pretty short, coming from a logi mice even with both on 1k polling (i havent used razer in a long ass time so idk how that compares)

i dont mind charging it every night but ik some people will be annoyed by it

[hazy fiber]

@wet coral When I tried Hyperlight for the first time, it felt weird. I think because of the sensor placement

Honestly before they get chewed up I think all their volumes are fine. Once they get scratchy they're pretty loud.

[signal arrow]

ok people there has to be some headset nerds in here, what headset would you recommend? that isnt super expensive I need a new one

[rain turret]

Nova Pro Wireless

[signal arrow]

so i have a steelseries one but the batteries are not charging

and I need one with a mic because i travel

[exotic bough]

Audeze Maxwells are currently the best out right now with 90mm planars

[quasi field]

I'd say the Astro A50 Gen 5 is the best wireless gaming headset. Impressive frequency response smoothness (and Astro software has parametric EQ), better microphone than Maxwell, lighter weight, more leakage tolerance so wearing glasses does not change sound as much as on the Maxwell.
Only negative to me is that there is less space in the earpads

They also isolate sound less than Maxwell which is good or bad depending on what you prefer. They feel a bit more open

I upgraded from Maxwell to Astro Gen 5 and it was very worth it in my opinion. Better more consistent sound post-EQ, and does not make my head hurt after a while from the weight

[exotic bough]

I have Gen 4 and Gen 5 astros too the thing with astros however they arent truely wireless unless u get A50x the regular A50s are bounded to the dock and most of the problems with the ears cups for the astron a50 and maxwell that u mention can be fixed with Wick Cushion upgrade lol.I hope ur not using Astro Command for A50 Gen 5's! Lol its only getting updated on logitech app. Astro command is Gen 4 and below

[quasi field]

Aren't truly wireless? There are no cables to it when on my head. The Wicked Cushion earpads for Astro A50 make it sound absolutely terrible and introduces Maxwell type problems of less leakage tolerance

[exotic bough]

Nope they arent truely wireless at all hence why they mads the A5OX

[quasi field]

Not truly wireless how?

There are no cables between the dock and the headset

[exotic bough]

Without Base station it wont work

Wireless as in not dependent on a dock

U cant play music from ur phone on a regular a50 u can walk outside on a regular A50 ur still tethered to the dock

And its range

[quasi field]

The dock is quite useful and I like it more than Maxwell's dongle solution. Putting the headset on the dock keeps it always fully charged for the next day and it works as a headset stand

[exotic bough]

True

But u also lose the comfort of just having a headset that u can go anywhere with lol

Cant use it as a headphone like u can with maxwell

[quasi field]

Though I'd never bring a Maxwell outside. It's too big and heavy as a travel headset to me
I'd want something with ANC personally if I were to bring it outside

[exotic bough]

Lol i love the weight

Dont get me wrong i love my astro and think they look better

But im not buying a50x if most of the time im driving blasting music

If i was a public transportation guy i would but not worth it lol

https://tenor.com/view/eyes-burning-my-eyes-spongebob-gif-5183364

[signal arrow]

what headset would you recommend in that same price range

I mean im not a nerd wiht audio stuff but I want one with good sound quality

[quasi field]

The one you sent has very poor audio quality. My recommendation is still on the Astro A50 Gen 5 but you have to spend a little bit more unless you find it on sale where you live

Gadgetry Tech probably has good recommendations for cheaper ones

[hazy fiber]

soon™

[wet coral]

the package was literally in nj, right next to ny and its now in virginia

in fact

it went to brooklyn before leaving to virginia

and it took them from 4am-6pm to move it between warehouses in virginia

[quasi field]

He has time to cancel it. The chance of him finding that tuning good is very low

[trim atlas]

not generally a fan of pink but damn, might buy

[proper vector]

The one on the right, with proper stick placement

[heady crystal]

The vanilla DualSense is so based but it would be better if the sticks felt like the Switch 2 Pro controller

I guess HE as well

[bitter sapphire]

idk maybe im the weird one but i never liked those "custom" controllers

[heady crystal]

Same

If Sony would just make the DualSense with HE sticks/triggers plus a proper 2.4 GHz wireless standard. That’s my controller for life.

[bitter sapphire]

a few of my friends has HE sticks and triggers and they hate it LOL

[mortal wave]

I was the same but idk I was using normal Xbox controllers and they always broke in less than a year… I think it’s because I was playing rocket league a lot and eventually the sticks were drifting.

I actually bought a Chinese one after and after like 2-3 years it still works fine lol

[rain turret]

https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/best/headphones they have Mid range and Budget entries (also notable mentions in each, which are usually excellent alternatives).

[patent patrol]

this aint good right

[agile glacier]

as much as i usually love using rtings as a reference, it feels like this table seems super saturated with subtle brand plugs/sponsors

[heady crystal]

What is the microphone like on the Fractal Scape?

[round lagoon]

That doesn't look nice

[patent patrol]

ye support time on monday

[jolly pulsar]

It's fine

The noise cancellation is pretty damn good which is what i noticed more about the mic

[heady crystal]

I watched the BadSeed Tech review shortly after asking that. Seems decent for a headset microphone but equally, why do gaming headsets still have terrible microphones in 2025?

[rain turret]

I must say the Nova Pro mic has been insanely clean on the receiver end, even though technically a premium "gaming" headset.

[jolly pulsar]

No idea but it's a massive improvement from my previous mic where it sounded like a mcdonalds drive thru mic

[heady crystal]

I'm on that Elgato Wave 3. I want to streamline the setup without sacrificing quality though.

[jolly pulsar]

Headset is super comfy btw, the surround sound is great, being able to set everything on device and having 0 bloatware is awesome

[frigid ivy]

oh ncie you bought them?

[jolly pulsar]

yep

ticked all the boxes for what i wanted

[heady crystal]

Scan, one of the UK retailers, have both colours in stock for £169.99

I'd like to try them

As they work on PC, PlayStation and Switch 1/2 so it would cover all my gaming devices.

[jolly pulsar]

One of the reasons why i wanted them

[heady crystal]

One assumes the microphone works on Switch 2 if connected via Bluetooth?

[jolly pulsar]

Didn't try the mic

On switch

Only tried it on pc and on my phone

But yeah they sound really good for both music and gaming and having a little button to switch between 3 eq presets is nice

[plain schooner]

@viscid bison

[quasi field]

The Astro A50 has one of the best ones imo

[heady crystal]

Logitech own Astro now though

Plus it's got that gamer look

[vital gorge]

Beyerdynamic mmx 200 is also an option

[quasi field]

Yes bit otherwise it's a great headset

[jolly pulsar]

How good of a mic do you need tho

@heady crystal if it's just for playing with friends once in a while you don't need something super crazy

[patent patrol]

just get a modmic

[quasi field]

The Maxwell mic was quite boomy and bad I remember. Astro mic was a nice upgrade as well as all the other better things about the headset

[heady crystal]

It's more an observation that gaming companies still use ass mics when non-gaming products at similar prices sound better (IMHO)

[patent patrol]

for wireless its kinda hard

[vital gorge]

Mmx 200

It has a quite decent mic, on a beyerdynamic headphone

[agile glacier]

Is there a metal/magnesium mouse out there that doesn't have huge holes or holes at all, I want the premium feel and lightness but huge holes in my mouse is just so bleg

[hazy fiber]

Yeah, BeastX Pro solid sides

[abstract warren]

best you'll find is WLmouse for magnesium, their slits arent terrible, but once you feel them in game it will start to strain your ring/pinky fingers depending on which you buy and the size of your hands

so def solid sides

[agile glacier]

ive been dailying the gpx2 for around 2 years and i like the shape, just the mouse buttons are one of the downsides for me

[hazy fiber]

BeastX Omron opticals are one of the best

They feel so good

[agile glacier]

thats how i usually hold my mouse 😭

its kinda a claw-palm hybrid with how i have my fingers just the size of the mouse stops me from going full claw

and idk if i want a smaller mouse

[bitter sapphire]

[signal arrow]

Ok so that headset has bad reviews the Corsair one but what headset would you guys recommend

I need some help please

[heady zenith]

headset or headphones

[quasi field]

Do I need to mention Astro a third time? You haven't even said what your budget is

[heady zenith]

having personally used astros id not recommend them

[quasi field]

Which one did you use

[heady zenith]

a50

[quasi field]

I specifically recommended A50 Gen 5

[heady zenith]

i had a gen3

but main gripe was: battery life decreased way too fast, cable broke withing a year, base station stopped charging when putting it on after 2yrs (only a few months after warranty ended), headband fell apart shortly after

[quasi field]

Gen 5 is the best gaming headset I know of

[quasi field]

The cable for the base station?

[heady zenith]

charging cable for the headset

[quasi field]

Oh so it didn't use the dock to charge

[heady zenith]

yeah let me put them on the dock while gaming

[quasi field]

Gen 3 must be quite old then

[heady zenith]

the reason i used the cable more often is that the lifespan of the batteries was trash

after 2 years they barely held an hour without recharging

[quasi field]

As long as you put them on the dock when you finish using the PC it will be fully charged and last the next day. So I never end up having to charge it while using it

[heady zenith]

the first few weeks that was the case for my a50s

held the entire gaming sessions

then it slowly went to only 8hrs

then to around 5

and before i knew it an hour was all she had

[quasi field]

Hopefully my unit won't die like that

[heady zenith]

have to say comfort and adjustability of the EQ were top notch though

[quasi field]

The Gen 5 has the best tonality of them easily, while also sporting a very smooth frequency response. Together with the EQ software I give it a 10/10 for audio

But without EQing them people are likely to prefer the Audeze Maxwell

But I cannot stand the weight of the Maxwell

[heady zenith]

i mean id always personally recommend to split into headphones and mic

usually means you get better quality for both, can exchange them separately and also more comfy imo as most headphones arent as heavy as headsets

[signal arrow]

budget is around like $150

[heady zenith]

i dont think the a50s are in that budget

[signal arrow]

lol me either

i have heard the hyperx cloud 3 is good but idk

I want something that will blow me away sound wise

but also wont make me go bankrupt

[quasi field]

At least not without a sale going on

[heady zenith]

i got my gf the cloud alpha from hyperx and shes happy with it but i cant speak on any quality of it since i dont use it lol

this is the moset expensive one

[quasi field]

This is Gen 5 yes

Can tell because of Playsync

[signal arrow]

so you charge it on the dock thing?

[quasi field]

Yes. When you do not use it such as logging off for the night you put it on the dock and it will charge, making it always fully charged the next day

So you will not be interrupted by having to charge it during use

[signal arrow]

ok so I should just get the astro a50

would you say this is better than steelseries

like I play cod and rainbow six siege

[quasi field]

It is better than any other gaming headset I know of so yes

Do make sure you play around with the EQ in the Atmos software. It is free audio quality

There are also presets you can download that other users have made

[signal arrow]

hmmmm

ok

let me see if I can get it

what about wired?

[quasi field]

I prefer wireless

[signal arrow]

why

[quasi field]

The versatility it gives me

I used to use wired «audiophile» headphones but the Astros I use now are my favourite ever. They sound better than most headphones in existence regardless of price. And wired/wireless is irrelevant here for sound quality. Any sound quality differences you hear will be from the headphones themselves such as distortion and frequency response

[signal arrow]

Ok does anyone else have any other opinions/options? I am looking into those but those are expensive for headphones lol

Thank you for your suggestion @quasi field what about wired what would you suggest

[jolly pulsar]

@signal arrow fractal scape

I love mine

[agile glacier]

are those on ears or over ears?

[quasi field]

That's quite a massive treble peak!

[jolly pulsar]

Over

[agile glacier]

Ooo neat

[signal arrow]

How is the sound on those? What do you use them for mainly

Ok chill

That’s not ok

[signal arrow]

Would you say it’s better than the Astro a50

I know but that statement made me uncomfortable

Okay anyways @jolly pulsar

[quasi field]

I'd be very worried you'll find it too sharp if you don't EQ

[signal arrow]

Send me this graph for the a50

[quasi field]

A50 has a smoother treble also which is easier to EQ well

Better colours

I'd classify the Astro as decent without EQ. Not as great as Maxwell

But the Astro has great EQ potential which shoots it up far post-EQ

A50 Gen 5 is $200 or sumting in America

Don't know about Fractal

Astro can be EQed so well

[signal arrow]

It’s $280

For a50

[quasi field]

The Astro? Didn't you send one that was $200?

[signal arrow]

That was gen 4

You dsid was poop

[quasi field]

Oh okay. Pretty expensive headset then (I forgot the price since I got mine at a strong sale)

[quasi field]

Yes 4 is poop without EQ

[signal arrow]

Apparently 5 is poop without eq also

[quasi field]

No it's not

[signal arrow]

But I dont know how to eq

Could you tell me how to set it up if I got it

[quasi field]

4 is very poop. One of the worst types of sound signature imo. More midbass than subbass, going far into the mids, then a big lack of treble

Makes it sound like you are wearing 10 ski masks under the headset

[signal arrow]

Is it easy to eq @quasi field

[quasi field]

Very

[signal arrow]

I’m not an audiophile lol

[quasi field]

Especially with the Astro if you use the Astro software. It has its own 10 band parametric EQ software

You can also download presets there others have made

[signal arrow]

So what would be the best gaming headset”audiophile” headset with a mic lol 😂

[quasi field]

Only thing that would make it worse to me would be if it also had treble peaks here and there. I hate headphones that sound both dark/veiled and sharp/piercing

on both ends
🤨

[signal arrow]

Govs me options?

So I have a shure mv7+ for my setup at home but I travel a lot so I need a headset with a mic for on the go but stil would be my main

[quasi field]

Astro post EQ beats the wired headphones I have owned in many ways

Recommending Audeze is dangerous imo. Too heavy for most of them and most of them have meh sound quality. They almost all suffer from too little treble and too little bass

[viscid bison]

I think I prefer having big feet on my moose

[quasi field]

Their sound profile is poorly suited for «fps gaming»

It was Sean Olive who I remember posted this:
https://x.com/seanolive/status/1217584220152815616

Sean Olive (@seanolive)

@metal571 @oratory1990 @AKGaudio The only other dimension besides #1 frequency response and #2 distortion/dynamics are #3 spatial.. If you don't get #1 right then #3 won't happen. It's a pre-requisite for accurate localization/externalization along with head-tracking.

X · Jan 15, 2020, 11:07 PM

Since most Audeez have poorish frequency response they do not get great imaging

[quasi field]

Yes

The distinction usually just lies in «gaming one might look gamerish and might have a microphone»

it

my current kb sucks.. i hope wooting will make a difference

[abstract warren]

you get any switches yet or no

[crude canopy]

i bought it

idk what this Wooting Etched Backlit ABS Keycap Set does xd

[abstract warren]

since you got the prebuillt, if you want the current best switches id try to find some owlabs/Raptor v2s depending on your region

[crude canopy]

portugal

is it something that will enhance my experience?

i use it for typing and playing a game called haxball

[abstract warren]

both will have better stem wobble than the lekker v2s and will have a different sound profile (preference). You can try the default lekkers and see how you like them

https://deltakeyco.com/products/owlab-ti-he-switches?_pos=1&_psq=owlab&_ss=e&_v=1.0

Deltakey co (EU vendor) does have owlabs, but doesnt have raptors yet

[crude canopy]

since i will get the prebuilt version.., i can use it as it comes right.. maybe adjust the speed to 0.1mm

[abstract warren]

prebuilt will be fully stock so it will just be plug and play if you use web software or the app

then if you want to mod anything wooting has some videos taking it apart and putting it back together (not very difficult once you see it a time or two)

[crude canopy]

like... I want to adjust the response time to 0.1mm

[abstract warren]

if you only use it for typing and haxball, you may be happy with the lekker v2s

[crude canopy]

cause i play a browser game

yes

only for this xd

[abstract warren]

you should be fine then

[crude canopy]

also, i hear i have to download the app to activate the rapid trigger, right

[abstract warren]

you can do it on microsoft edge/chrome or download the app

it will store the profile onto your onboard memory on the keyboard

[crude canopy]

hmm through the wooting app you mean?

[abstract warren]

yes

[crude canopy]

and it will work everywhere?

[abstract warren]

you can download the app and do it that way, or you can do it via your browser (edge or chrome)

[crude canopy]

also i can adjust the typing speed (im not sure how its called to 0.1)

[abstract warren]

yes 0.1mm actuation

[crude canopy]

thats pretty fast

also i heard the rapid trigger is top-notch

to portugal it takes from 2-10 business days through ups, right

I would wait for gsync pulsar ips monitor than any TN monitor nowadays

[wheat veldt]

dyac is tempting tho

[frigid ivy]

Gsync pulsar should get pretty close and you can use VRR at the same time

[obtuse dove]

I think Asus has a Gsync Pulsar monitor with VRR and Backlight strobing

Albeit it's a bit expensive

[frigid ivy]

Not sure if it is available yet

[foggy relic]

Its not a bad purchase

But just seems rly overpriced for what it is

[quasi field]

You did

[foggy relic]

If you compare it to competitors that are way cheaper

[quasi field]

Overpriced how?

[astral musk]

I beg of you. Learn how to clean your links from tracking cookies. Or at least get an addon for it.

[foggy relic]

250€ when you can buy identicals for 170-200€

[astral musk]

Everything past that ? is pure tracking shit

[quasi field]

Identicals????????

Here is what that headset gives you:
Wireless low latency
One of the best microphones on a headset available
Very smooth frequency response that is great for using the built-in parametric EQ with
High leakage tolerance (meaning you can wear glasses etc. without it affecting sound much)
Low distortion

[foggy relic]

Not saying its a bad headset but the mic quality is on par with the blackshark v2 pro and the hyper x cloud 2. The quality of the sound guess you could make the argument its a bit better but 80€ better? Also the earcups are leaky so you hear outside sound more than average gaming headphones

[foggy relic]

If he has a silent environment and wears glasses then yea its good but astros just seem to be overpriced cuz of the name

[quasi field]

Yes they feel quite open. But this is also part of why they have such good leakage tolerance

Maxwell on left, A50X (same as Gen 5) on right

[foggy relic]

Hmm i lowkey wanna try these in a store imma see if i can find one nearby

Does the comfort outweigh the noise cancellation

[quasi field]

I find them comfortable. Weight wise I do not have a problem with them. But the earpads are a little small. They are actually smaller on the Gen 5 than the previous gens

[agile glacier]

Paying >300usd for a headset where leakage tolerance is a marketing point seems like high level copium ngl, especially since you could probably save money buying a cheaper but relatively equally performing headset and replacement ear pads to get the same effect

[quasi field]

If you find the weight good or not depends heavily on what you are used to. I came from the Maxwell so it was a huge relief

[quasi field]

I don't know if it's a marketing point. I have no idea how it is being marketed. I am simply listing reasons for why it is good

[foggy relic]

The only way i could give an argument to get this headset is if you need to be wary of your surroundings like keep an ear out for your children or whatever. Other reason is if you’re a streamer. Cant think of any justification to pay this price. But this might be just me

[quasi field]

The biggest reason why I got it was because it has an unmatched level of sound quality post-EQ

[foggy relic]

If you got the money to spend then thats a fair reason

[agile glacier]

In comparison to?

[foggy relic]

Guessing the maxwells

[quasi field]

Yes I find it to beat them. But only after EQ

I'm more happy with them than any wired headphone I have had too

[foggy relic]

Im really contemplating getting a pair of wireless ones but mine current steelseries arctic 1 still kinda works so im in a dilemma

Even tho its like 7 years old and the volume is fked

I can sell my used mouse and keyboard but no tackled headset

Id def get the razershark v2 pros tho

Better mic than the v3 lmao

[signal arrow]

@quasi fieldi might need your help with eqing when i get them if you are free

i can't wait to get one either and sell this Audient Evo 4 lol

[clear sail]

what speaker setup do yo have? its so rare to have other people with speakers for gaming these days

[rain turret]

A little surprised about that considering your initial more budgety approach, regardless i went through this same dilemma, but i found it overpriced for what it is, Nova Pro was a more realistic settle for me, but i think you will be happy regardless :)

[quasi field]

Neumann KH 120 II

[foggy relic]

The mic is so bad tho 😭

[rain turret]

Not at all

[woven cairn]

it has WHAT?

Astros are known to be overpriced cans

a solid choice, if money doesn't matter:
Audeze Maxwell
Mic Quality matters:
Razer BlackShark V3 Pro
less expensive option with great audio:
Fractal Design Scape

[quasi field]

Yes because of how smooth the fr is. It is more EQable than any other option I see

Not as jagged and with a higher consistency than the Maxwell for example

Maxwell has:
Worse FR consistency (different shaped heads, wearing glasses, having long hair, and simply seating it differently will all provide a higher variance in sound)
More jagged frequency response
Higher distortion
Worse and audible group delay
Worse and audible channel matching
More weight
A worse microphone

[proper vector]

If mic quality matters then get external one

[quasi field]

Look up an Astro A50 Gen 5 mic test. It is quite good actually

[proper vector]

Ew, Logitech? Come on mate

[quasi field]

It has a very clear and neutral sounding microphone. I don't know of a headset with a better one

[proper vector]

Ok, but, like... Logitech?

[quasi field]

I don't really know much about the other things they make

[proper vector]

Maybe that's better

[vital gorge]

Beyerdynamic mmx 200. Wireless and Has a decent mic

Doesn't look super gamer as well

[foggy relic]

Hes right the astro gen 5 has a pretty good mic

But then again so does the hyper cloud x’s and razer blacksharks

[rigid dagger]

I'm so hyped to set up my new sturdy desk for this coming fall

[lament siren]

[bitter sapphire]

[twilit flame]

Marketplace office chair

[lament siren]

sharing other people ass sweat is crazy work

[bitter sapphire]

tbh i dont find any good chair for my own ass xD

so i just use the chair that i got for Christmass from my parents

good enough gaming chair

[lament siren]

i feel like chairs overall will never feel comfortable

sure you might find one to sit in for a few hours but sitting in a chair for long periods of the day just messes up your back

[bitter sapphire]

i do take 5 minutes of walk time to time soo

#health

[lament siren]

[vital gorge]

I like my hm Mirra 2.

Next is indeed a standing desk.

[nimble mauve]

[twilit flame]

[foggy relic]

Another one fell for the super light propaganda

Viper v3 pro is objectively better

[heady crystal]

[wet coral]

[foggy relic]

Blasphemy

[heady crystal]

[wet coral]

<@&1098943457654997093>

[foggy relic]

How much wooting can i get with that

[heady crystal]

Who is falling for this anyway?

That fake BBC News screenshot is an incredibly shitty headline.

[foggy relic]

Not anyone who has enough money to buy a wooting thats for sure

[wet coral]

those guys

[merry raptor]

What is going on in here

[wet coral]

nah theres been people with roles who fell for it

[quasi field]

Mr Beast would genuinely go bankrupt if he just gave out 3k like that

[deep hawk]

We ban a dozen or more compromised accounts per day... Most get caught by our regex and dealt with out of sight, but it's a constant game of cat and mouse

[foggy relic]

Thats so sad people fall for it

[raven leaf]

Well yeah people want that free money

[jolly pulsar]

@deep hawk you should give me money

I'll buy moumoutreats

Who needs mrbeast when we have mrakbar

[lament siren]

my cat uses it as a scratch post when im on it

btw night have you ever ordered from max gaming before?

[foggy relic]

A good chair is like 120-150€

No one forcing you to sit on a 19 year old office chair

[wispy blaze]

Nah

[wispy blaze]

Thats money I dont care to spend on a chair

Gas ain't cheap 😔

[lament siren]

i'll let you know if i get hit with bad custom fees

ships from Sweden

[jolly pulsar]

I have

A long long time ago

And yes you will have to pay taxes

Its not duty paid

[rain turret]

🤔

[terse ferry]

G502 is quite light

[lament siren]

wtf

how much

my item is $80

[jolly pulsar]

13%

[lament siren]

stop lying to me fr*nch

https://tenor.com/view/shake-mad-rage-black-man-gif-17669946

[jolly pulsar]

dude anything over 25cad is taxed if its not duty paid

Unless you just get randomly lucky

[quasi field]

Are you buying from MaxGaming to have it sent to Kanada?

[jolly pulsar]

yes

Means it goes through canadian customs and maxgaming doesn't collect taxes on checkout

And maxgaming marks the value properly

So yes

You have to pay taxes

[wispy blaze]

Wlmouse didnt do this for my beastx max, was very pleased

[jolly pulsar]

Also sometimes things just slip through a crack

[wispy blaze]

Hoping taxes dont fuck me over when I get that car transfered to my name

Hopefully they undervalue the fuck out of the car 🙏

[jolly pulsar]

Here theres exemptions if its direct family

Or if it's declared as given not sold

[wispy blaze]

In Quebec or Canada as a whole

[jolly pulsar]

Elsewhere in canada i have no idea

Just telling you for quebec

[wispy blaze]

Unfortunate

[terse ferry]

@wispy blaze you can always import it straight from japan

[wispy blaze]

Why would I do thst my dad literally owns the car 😭

Im building it with him its in his garage rn

[terse ferry]

[wispy blaze]

Only problem for me is registering thr car in bc from Alberta

[terse ferry]

Dunno why people are complaining about g502 when it is very light mouse if you grip it properly

[wispy blaze]

Idk the legality of having it registered and insured in Alberta when the primary driver lives in bc either

[foggy relic]

bro i swear ive held one in the store and the only reason i didnt get it is cuz i wanna have max performance for cs. the people who complain about the weight gotta be like 120lbs or have severe atrophy

or they play comp fps games

[wispy blaze]

I do not weigh 120lbs or have atrophy and its still heavy compared to any of my mice

Its heavy asf if you've used any mouse that weighs significantly less

[foggy relic]

well yea obv but its not that BRICK of a mouse people ar complaining about

[wispy blaze]

I mean it is

[terse ferry]

I tried lighter mouses than g502 and they are impossible to control

[lament siren]

where they ship from usa?

[terse ferry]

[wispy blaze]

China

[lament siren]

my has to go through quebec customs

[wispy blaze]

Mine went through van

[foggy relic]

yeh the viper v3 pro was bit too light so i got the qck heavy mousepad and now i can control it

[lament siren]

and Quebec always make sure the customers get fucked

[wispy blaze]

French moment

[lament siren]

FR**CH

[foggy relic]

i dont get the g502 hate

[lament siren]

🤢

[foggy relic]

comfortable mouse

on the heavier side

[lament siren]

people prefer lighter mice will smaller shape

[terse ferry]

I dont have even good mousepad

[foggy relic]

you arent holding no bag of cement

[terse ferry]

Because they have small hands

[lament siren]

im just telling you what people complain about

[foggy relic]

and thats okay but the anti 502 propaganda dont make sense

[lament siren]

my first gaming mice was g502

that thing could take a beating

[foggy relic]

i hate a good mouse get bullied for dumb reasons

[lament siren]

https://tenor.com/view/tense-table-smash-mad-gif-13656077

[lament siren]

blame tik tok

[wispy blaze]

1. Logitech product
2. Heavy asf compared to any modern gaming mouse
3. Ergo mouse 🤢
4. Logitech product
5. Ghub

[terse ferry]

If wooting mouse is not g502 shape and weight, i'am not buying

[foggy relic]

*me no want big g502 because my hands smol 🥺 *

[wispy blaze]

I have 20x12 hands and still wouldn't ever buy a g502

[foggy relic]

that yall hate the superlight for having garbage quality and overpriced okay

but the g502 propaganda? ends now

[wispy blaze]

No it doesnt 🗣️

[foggy relic]

https://tenor.com/view/restraint-no-restraint-hold-me-back-gif-13416230

[terse ferry]

I cant even hold Light mouse well, because it feels like it would break under my hands

[foggy relic]

lmao i had that with the superlight

damn near broke it in the store testing it

[wispy blaze]

Lightweight =/= weak though

[merry raptor]

I had a GPX Superlight 2 and the left click and mouse wheel went shit on me

[terse ferry]

That's why g502 superior

[merry raptor]

so I got a Razer VV3 Pro for like $40 off

[wispy blaze]

My beastx max and mini are the most sturdy/solid mice I've ever held

[foggy relic]

smart man

[wispy blaze]

And yes I have tried a g502 before

[foggy relic]

if i was still a big runescape guy g502 all the way

[terse ferry]

G502 is very comfortable

[wispy blaze]

If i could palm grip without pain maybe yeah, still would prefer a lighter mouse though

[terse ferry]

If you have proper grip, you wont feel weight of g502

[foggy relic]

wanna know whats funny

alot of people add fking weights to their g502

[terse ferry]

I do claw on g502

[foggy relic]

like making it twice as heavy

[wispy blaze]

I mean.. no

It will always feel heavy no matter what compared to my 40g mouse

[terse ferry]

There is g502 reddit

[wispy blaze]

Thats just, how that works

[terse ferry]

I literraly cant feel weight

It feels like moving nothing

[wispy blaze]

Well no shit you probably only usr a g502

If you used a light mouse for a period of time itll feel likr a brick after

[terse ferry]

There is no g502 shape light mouse

[terse ferry]

I'am still thinking about tungsten mod

[foggy relic]

hand hypertrophy

[terse ferry]

Like putting tungsten cube inside of mouse shell

[foggy relic]

better tell the missus to get ready once you start utilizing the fully tungstenized g502

[terse ferry]

@wispy blaze well if you use whole arm and claw. Mouse feels like nothing
