Wallhack SP-004

[wispy blaze]

I have superglide glass pad

Havent used it since I got my Raiden soft though

[mental spade]

No, I have my collection that Im happy with currently

[deep hawk]

The person who won the gamescom giveaway including the wallhack glasspad lives clear on the other side of the world, I hope it delivers okay

[wispy blaze]

They have pretty decent packaging im sure itll be fine

[fleet parcel]

Only other mousepad I have is some stormtrooper cloth one I’d use when I played mtg with coworkers at my old job.

[mental spade]

I live on the other side of the world and stuff arrives usually ok

[wispy blaze]

My superglide pad was packed very well

Survived from Korea to Canada

As did my skypad 3.0 from Germany

[terse ferry]

You have mx master. Thats basicly non gamer g502

[deep hawk]

Yea but you've got that sheep wool for a soft landing

[mental spade]

That's true although the wool industry is dying here

[rain turret]

whats the yellow mouse

[deep hawk]

Is that so? Why?

[fleet parcel]

I bought a used like new condition one from Amazon and when it arrived there was no mousepad in it. Got a refund and decided to buy the sp-004 new

[hazy fiber]

I would post my glasspad photo, but I have a feeling I'll get called out

[deep hawk]

[abstract warren]

Mark making fun of a 60HEv2 loyal MOD customer I didn’t have this on my bingo card

[wispy blaze]

What the fuck 😭 😭

[wispy blaze]

Bros glass pad cost more than a 60he 😔

[wet coral]

gooner

[abstract warren]

That’s because it’s a limited edition drop

[terse ferry]

Hes still mad for not having "full size worst size" keyboard

[wispy blaze]

Bro got fomo'd

[abstract warren]

Or just don’t want a SP004

[deep hawk]

Full size best size confirmed

[abstract warren]

Crazy concept I know

[terse ferry]

By who

[wispy blaze]

Im just kidding ik why its expensive

Just funny that its so expensive

[abstract warren]

Considering how long you’d own it, it checks out

[wispy blaze]

Yeah glass pad gonna outlast us if it dont break

[abstract warren]

I got my Kazemi for like $200 when other mfs have it for $400+ it’s basically MSRP at that rate

[wispy blaze]

I cant wait for oled to get here

Been waiting so long for this

[abstract warren]

One of the main upgrades you will notice 100% right away

Is going to OLED

[wispy blaze]

Back to 240hz finally too

[mental spade]

Just lack of demand, people are using synthetics more and more the price has dropped a lot

[wispy blaze]

Granted 1440 so my pc gonna be screaming on anything but val/ow😭

@mental spade so you are in non gaming g502 club

[mental spade]

I am in the non boomer mouse club

[merry raptor]

I heard from somewhere that full size isn’t real

Not my words of course

No of course, because you wouldn't dare utter such heretical words

[abstract warren]

Speaking of violence, can I pray to my T45 gamescon sample or is that not available for testing yet

[deep hawk]

Geon is quite a character

[merry raptor]

Lol yeah

Mans got jokes

Like ISO = Pineapple Pizza

[deep hawk]

He's right on ISO though

[merry raptor]

I agree

[deep hawk]

[white jackal]

he just hasnt seen the light

[merry raptor]

Although , I will say recently I tried bbq chicken pizza with jalapeños and pineapple and it was pretty good

Normally I don’t care for pineapple pizza otherwise

[deep hawk]

From a technical perspective, the acidity from the pineapple combines functionally with the meats to physically open them up to allow water and fat to get into and stay in the meat, keeps them juicy and flavorful

[merry raptor]

Wow I never thought to get technical with pizza but that makes sense, I also thought the balance of sweet, spicy and salty was good

[terse ferry]

If i had pizzeria. I would had pineapple pizza. But it would cost 500% of normal pizza

[terse ferry]

You only need pickles for acidity

[deep hawk]

The hydroxide ions bind to the positively charged portions of the myosin protein, which would normally alternate between positive and negative charged sections. By binding to the positive pieces, you end up with negative and neutral sections. When two negatively charged magnets are near each other, they repel. This repulsion allows water to enter

[foggy relic]

What

[merry raptor]

Hydroxide ions (OH⁻), being negatively charged, bind to the positively charged regions of the myosin protein. Normally, myosin has regions of alternating positive and negative charges, which help it maintain its structure through internal electrostatic attractions.

When OH⁻ ions attach to the positively charged sites, they neutralize or even reverse the charge in those areas. This disrupts the typical pattern of alternating charges, resulting in regions that are now mostly negative or neutral.

Because like charges repel, the newly formed negatively charged areas on adjacent myosin molecules or segments begin to repel one another. This electrostatic repulsion causes the structure to loosen or spread apart, creating space between the molecules. Water is then able to enter these spaces more easily, contributing to the overall swelling or softening of the tissue.

Do you want pizza topping combinations? Just tell me toppings you can get, and it will be best pizza you ever ate

[warm rain]

Pre Wooting setup

Gotta have your desk partially inside the wardrobe

[deep hawk]

I find the reaction of the calcium cistern in the presence of lactic acid fascinating. A system that self regulates by ceasing the creation of more lactic acid by becoming incapable of restricting the amount of calcium following into the cytoplasm.

With calcium present, the protein actin cannot metabolize ATP into ADP (which creates lactic acid as a byproduct) which is the required step to release from the myosin protein. Therefore the muscles cannot release contraction until the pH returns to acceptable levels

Anyway, bedtime now, hope y'all learned something

[mental spade]

[wispy blaze]

What's your criteria again?

Like what are you looking for

[normal acorn]

so, anyone getting the miku graphics card

[foggy relic]

This mic is insane for 40 bucke

I recommendo

[twilit flame]

if i wasnt broke...

[normal acorn]

I cant even find it here in Europe

[lament siren]

no

gpu prices are terrible where im at

[jolly pulsar]

You ignore all the good deals because you want a white card

Thats your fault

[proper vector]

[lament siren]

"Good" deals

MSRP pricing isnt a good deal but yes

i do have to pay for white taxes

[jolly pulsar]

I sent you some under msrp

[lament siren]

they werent white

[jolly pulsar]

That's your fault

[lament siren]

[jolly pulsar]

stop caring about having a white card so much

Then suffer xd

[vital gorge]

closed case on floor and not paying extra for how something blinkenlights inside the case

[deep hawk]

You get benefits from the RGB though

[wispy blaze]

The orange one doesnt seem to be working for me 😔

[deep hawk]

Sadly it's a percentage multiplier

[wispy blaze]

So I just need more orange... guess I'll bust out the rgb salt rock

[fickle pier]

What about black rgb 😢

[frigid ivy]

blurbuster website founder thinks that 1000hz is almost IRL level

[round lagoon]

1khz is all you need

[quasi field]

1 000 Hz is technically an arbitrary and temporary goal

[frigid ivy]

1000hz BFI

[quasi field]

The ideal refresh rate will potentially be in the 5 digits

[frigid ivy]

[round lagoon]

waow, we're only starting to crack 4 digit lmao

[frigid ivy]

lol not sure any game engine can handle 5 digit fps

[woven cairn]

the fuck am i reading?!?

[terse ferry]

It is not useful at all. Even counterstrike cant hit 1000 fps

Hey nyumi

[woven cairn]

[frigid ivy]

da gamecuuuube

[terse ferry]

Nyumi what artisan should I get for my g502

[woven cairn]

First you should get rid of this Logitrash brick to begin with

[woven cairn]

"most extreme case", "Virtual Reality Headset"

do you even use your brain while reading?

[quasi field]

Why the attitude

[woven cairn]

because everything's wrong with this article

[quasi field]

Okay. Have you told Mark? I have his Discord and can set you up with him to discuss it for improvement

Or post on the forum

[woven cairn]

what mark?

[quasi field]

Mark Rejhon the guy running BlurBusters

[woven cairn]

don't get me wrong, but why should i?

[terse ferry]

G502 only fits my grip

[quasi field]

You seem hostile and unproductive

[woven cairn]

i'm just stating facts. 10 kHz refresh rate is ridiculous

[quasi field]

If you disagree with it, take it up with him for improvement

[woven cairn]

we'd need at least another 50 years of hardware improvements to even come close to it

[quasi field]

What do you base that on? Ridiculous how?

[woven cairn]

think about it. 1 kHz Monitor means you get a new frame every single millisecond in the ideal situation

10k means you get 10 new frames every millisecond

did you ever notice anything in such a small period of time?

[quasi field]

VR headsets use strobing for motion clarity, and stroboscopic artefacts have been shown to be visible at extremely high flicker rates such as 10 kHz in worst case scenarios. The text I sent does specify most extreme future case

[obtuse dove]

GPMI time

even the highest standard DP 2.1 UHBR 20 wont be able to do 1000Hz at 1080p

heck even 720p

GPMI type B can likely do 1000Hz at 1080p with some bandwidth to spare

192gb/sec vs 80gb/sec

[terse ferry]

But no one is going to accept chinnese standard ngl

gotta get 140mm fans to have the perfect equalized cooling, but other than that i'm quite happy

[lament siren]

hell yeah

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cat-jam-nod-pet-kitty-gif-17932554

[clear sail]

just make ducts XD

[woven cairn]

or have the perfect air flow to begin with, so you can carry the case for the next 10 years

[clear sail]

ducts always help

[wispy blaze]

I wanna try doing this if I get a 3d printer

[mighty tiger]

Should I cop a1 mini

Bambu labs

[proper vector]

If it's your first 3d printer, then yes, get Bambu

Or you know, some other newbie-friendly company

[obtuse dove]

yes

[proper vector]

Me a1

[astral musk]

I was going to buy the Mini, but they had a deal that made the A1 basically the same price. And I haven't got any major complaints as my first printer.

[obtuse dove]

I still have my X1C from 2 years ago lol

[clear sail]

bambu appled 3d printers for comsumers. the software is so good you dont care its locked down

[sinful swift]

Can I plug a FiiO KA11 directly into the usb c port on the front panel of a pc or is there a benefit to using a usb c to usb adapter for a back of the case mobo usb port?

[proper vector]

USB is USB, no matter where you plug it in for DAC

[sinful swift]

Okay thanks

[round lagoon]

mm, need to get another dongle dac, just figured usb dac doesn't introduce much latency for me to notice when playing rhythm game

maybe I get the jm20 pro for my pc and keep jm6 pro for my phone

[proper vector]

Basic ones, which don't need sophisticated drivers, just USB ones have a latency of less than 0.5ms, usually in 0.1ms range
I have KA17 and I love it

[patent patrol]

fiio k7 and topping dx3pro+ had like 20ms +

compared to motherboard

cant test the k11 bc my new mic dumb

[tulip tide]

Are there any DACs that are similar to the DX3Pro+ that can take stereo speakers and don't cost a fortune? I'm looking to upgrade my Audient Evo 4

[patent patrol]

fiio k7?

[tulip tide]

That looks promising, I'd have to buy RCA to TRS cables as well

[round lagoon]

as long as it can drive hd600, it's good enough to me. Also because my smasnug doesn't play well with something like jm20 pro since it consume a lot of power.

[proper vector]

300ohm Sennies? Maybe on desktop mode

[rain turret]

it's finally here pog, only took ~30 days

[dry glacier]

I jus got a wooting keyboard and now I need mouse and headset recommendations plssss and thank u

[blissful gust]

*used

Your poor printer is still getting neglected

[astral musk]

I used it yesterday.

[blissful gust]

Ohhhh

Speaking of I have to worry about mine with cats now, I guess the office door gets closed when printing

[astral musk]

Still working on this little thing. Just haven't had the time to work on the files TO print lately.

Also need some standoffs, so I can mount the Pi and other PCBs inside, instead of having them lie on bare metal with foam and tape.

[rain turret]

here is a mouse list i made recently for myself looking for that "high end" match for my new keyboard aswell (feel free to research further).
For headsets there are a couple that could be recommended based on your needs, i prefer good sound quality while trying to remain wireless, so Arctis Nova Pro wireless has been flawless and clean sounding so far.
For wired: Astro, Sennheiser and Audeze are what you should be looking at (research a bit further for the exact models based on their performance/quality and your needs/budget).

[wispy blaze]

Still missing beastx 😔

[rain turret]

What is it? show us!

[wispy blaze]

Thats my solid side beastx max

[rain turret]

Ohh right!

[wispy blaze]

If you add it to your list make sure you specify solid sides

Its much nicer feeling than side slits

[rain turret]

You will hate me for it, but i won't add it

[wispy blaze]

Fair enough

[rain turret]

(we are done with hollow shell mice)

[wispy blaze]

Mice are preference at the end of the day

All of em are top performers atp

[rain turret]

But for the person asking, it could be fine

[lament siren]

mine is in customs jail right now

hopefully it breaks out

[wispy blaze]

Unfortunate

My monitor is gonna start moving today

It says Monday next week tho

[woven cairn]

whatcha get?

[wispy blaze]

G61sd

Finally going oled 💪 💪

[wispy blaze]

😭

[bitter sapphire]

why do i look at 4 different OLED monitors

when wooting Oled

like why did i started adding 2 more oled screen to the buy later list for myself
Alienware AW2725DF
Ultragear 27GS95QE-B
ROG Strix XG27ACDNG
ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDMG
those 4 that i kinda wanna get my hands on sooner or later

[lament siren]

i had aw2725df and instantly refunded it

nice monitor but i couldnt change the brightness of the monitor with hdr setting on

i aint playing at 100% brightness

[bitter sapphire]

i mean i dont wanna play with HDR soo

thats not an issue for me

i never really liked how HDR looks

im more than happy with SDR

[heady crystal]

You're meant to calibrate HDR within Windows and/or games

Not the monitor OSD

[woven cairn]

i hate to tell you, but the Asus monitors aren't worth it

[bitter sapphire]

even for 600 euro ?

[heady crystal]

I'm waiting for the monitors with LG's new 1440p 280Hz glossy tandem OLED panel

Soon™

[woven cairn]

even when cheaper than the competition

the OSD settings are just pure garbage to begin with

i.e. ELMB disables a bunch of stuff

while most of it should actually be compatible with ELMB

[bitter sapphire]

thats the thing i dont really wanna spend more than 750 euro on a display

[obtuse dove]

I've paid $5999.00 for a display LMAO

[bitter sapphire]

i would be dumb to pay that much for a monitor

[obtuse dove]

it's a 'pro' grade display soooooo

[bitter sapphire]

yeah i dont need a 'pro' display

[lament siren]

Damn i was looking to go with asus oled after i was finish with my samsung oled

[obtuse dove]

lel yeah no one needs super duper color accurate displays

[bitter sapphire]

if i do somekind of work on my pc that needs that i would say yeah i need it otherwise why the heck

[obtuse dove]

yeah, just get OLED monitor and be happy!

[arctic plover]

😄

[heady crystal]

$6000 on a display is either a professional monitor or a really large TV

The mucher larger LG G5 OLEDs are super expensive

[foggy relic]

[abstract warren]

Each monitor OLED should be using the same Samsung panel (atleast was when PG32UCDM released), just get whatever is cheaper imo

[heady crystal]

All the OLED panels are either Samsung QD-OLED or LG WOLED

Although those displays are from Samsung Display and LG Display

Which are separate companies from Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics which just happen to release monitors using "their own" panels

Isn’t it expected to be around $1000 USD?

[patent patrol]

No way they making it cheaper

[heady crystal]

I hope the 1440p 280Hz doesn’t end up being £700 as $700 USD is like £500.

[vital gorge]

720p in 2025

[round lagoon]

Usable with 24 inch monitor

Horrible for daily tasks.
I'm.Glad 786p for Laptops is as good as dead

GenG

[patent patrol]

LESSS GOOOOOO

crazy that they needed 2 years to release it

[wispy blaze]

Kinda surprising its not sub 50 tho

[patent patrol]

that would require different design probably

they will just downsize everything a bit lol

[frigid ivy]

Wonder what the actual dimensions are, probably only 1mm in all direction judging by the weight

[patent patrol]

and wait for superlight 3 to change things

[patent patrol]

imma buy on day 1 to see it

[frigid ivy]

-170 euro

[wet coral]

-.5 grams

[patent patrol]

did the same for the dex 😭

but returned that one

so maybe 45g with some mods

like without the skate thing

and magnets

[frigid ivy]

The replacement baseplate

[iron jasper]

realistically, what difference does it make

I sometimes add weight to my mice lol

feels like nothing is there

[frigid ivy]

People like the effortless movement feeling

[patent patrol]

ye weight doesnt play a huge role for me anymore

[frigid ivy]

But you need good mouse control

[iron jasper]

rich people be spending 100$ more to get a mouse that weighs 3 micrograms less only to still be bad 🥀

[iron jasper]

eh ig

I believe it has more to do with weak wrists

[patent patrol]

i wonder if the skate size is the same

[iron jasper]

I did a Minecraft marathon for 5d 19hr straight and my wrists never felt fatigued or anything

[patent patrol]

are u okay

[iron jasper]

but my brain and eyes were cooked

[iron jasper]

I have hyperactive insomnia, I got medicated and am better now though

[wispy blaze]

Actually it was 150$ 😭 😭 😭

[frigid ivy]

It's crazy that they are still using that crappie material

[wispy blaze]

Also nah

Effortless movement can allow for a lot more control if your mouse control can handle it

Not to say its objectively better as preference is king, but lighter is better if its something you care about

[patent patrol]

as i said, they aint gonna change stuff for a resize

[wispy blaze]

Watch gpx3 gonna have same shitty skates and spongy side buttons

[iron jasper]

lol

[patent patrol]

not like im using them but would be sad

[iron jasper]

I see

[patent patrol]

are we expecting superlight 3 next year in september then?

or they gonna make a dex c

[wispy blaze]

Wouldn't be surprised if its this before gpx3

[iron jasper]

I've had a logitech g502 hero for the past 5 years after I wore a hole through my old mouse

[wispy blaze]

Remember how long it took for gpx 2

[wet coral]

actually one of the things i love most changing away from the gpx
i dont miss the shitty side buttons

[patent patrol]

they like releasing one mouse a year for the superlight

[wispy blaze]

Ive went through a few mice to find the one for me, landed on beastx max and im in love

[frigid ivy]

They gunna make a g pro wireless 3 before gpx3

[iron jasper]

huh. maybe I'll look at it

[wispy blaze]

Yeah but i feel like they'll do more variations before they do gpx3

[iron jasper]

depends on when the g502 gives up

[wispy blaze]

This is it here

[iron jasper]

nevermind

[wispy blaze]

Yes its a skeleton shell

[iron jasper]

those mice feel so uncomfortable

[wispy blaze]

[iron jasper]

bleh

[wispy blaze]

Nah this one's so nice, with the solid sides its perfect

[patent patrol]

hm

[wispy blaze]

You dont even notice the holes (unless you palm grip)

If you palm then yeah understandable

[patent patrol]

i hope they release the 3, 3c and 3dex at the same time then

[iron jasper]

I grip the whole mouse

all fingers and the palm

[wispy blaze]

Yeah I claw

[iron jasper]

kek

[wet coral]

no hole shell mice ftw

[wispy blaze]

Quite aggressively

Barely any of my hand touches the holes

[iron jasper]

I do a very slight claw sometimes

[frigid ivy]

I'll probably switch to vaxee before the gpx3 comes out

[wispy blaze]

I dont think ill ever swap off my beastx

However I might pickup the orbital pathfinder eventually

Very interesting mouse

[iron jasper]

I think my mouse grip is heavily affected by the fact my wrists cannot bend vertically past 20°

for reference most people can do 80-95°

🥀

[frigid ivy]

Sounds like you need a vertical mouse

[iron jasper]

pretty sure I would be unable to use it

wait

are the vertical mice the ones where they have the whole mouse basically rotated 90° so the left and right click are vertically parallel

[wet coral]

yes

[iron jasper]

ignore that dumb description, these things?

[iron jasper]

mkay

[frigid ivy]

Yeah like that

[iron jasper]

actually my left might be able to do 30° now

[wispy blaze]

My wrists are also fucked i understand the pain

[iron jasper]

what happened to yours?

[wispy blaze]

I have full rotation but reslly bad tremors and pain

[iron jasper]

dang

[wispy blaze]

Nerve damage + tremors

[iron jasper]

ah

[wispy blaze]

And fucked something up in my joint

[iron jasper]

mine was from competitive jitter clicking for uh

5 or 6 years

[wispy blaze]

They couldn't seen on xray so idk what's wrong

[iron jasper]

same here

[wispy blaze]

I also got an rsi from aim training 😭 😭

Ugh. The company I bought cables from sent me one that is longer than I ordered. I wanted a 1 meter and 2 meter cable for my speakers but they sent me two 2 meter cables instead. Whyyyy. Did they think I made a mistake or something?
There's going to be so much hang from the one cable. 2 meter is far too long

[white jackal]

cant you just cut it if its speaker wire

[quasi field]

It's coaxial spdif

[timid oracle]

Bundle up the excess. Zip tie it. Easy

It's just uuugllyyyyy

Reliable. Functional. Looks good. You can only pick two not all three. I pick reliable and functional.

Superlight 2 2c

about as wide as a Crazylight

[hazy fiber]

and 20g heavier

[patent patrol]

oh no

[hazy fiber]

Not even talking about dogshit clicks, scroll wheel and coating

[patent patrol]

😴

[frigid ivy]

a lot smaller than I expected

[patent patrol]

i agree

[frigid ivy]

what's your hand size?

I'm 20x10 cm so the regular GPX2 is perfect for me

[patent patrol]

idk from memory

[wispy blaze]

even when my hands were 20x10 i hated the gpx shape

[frigid ivy]

"when" wydm

[wispy blaze]

my hands are 20x12

[frigid ivy]

oh

I'm relaxed claw though

[wispy blaze]

im more aggro claw

after i tried a lamzu i could just never be comfortable on a gpx again

now on beastx max

[patent patrol]

like 19,2 x 10,3 or sum

[frigid ivy]

hmm would the 2C be too small for you?

[patent patrol]

how relaxed do you have your hand for the size measure xd

[patent patrol]

will see

crazylight (which is similar width) felt thin but having the more optimal grip of the gpx shape could make it better

will see

[gaunt flax]

ngl that new havn bf360 case may be the one

long as it fits top tier gpu still

[mental spade]

Looks like there's plenty of room in there

[astral musk]

With a name like that, I should hope so.

Got the whole harbour to yourself.

[gaunt flax]

Might be the new case king after the wave of people who bought the fractal wood case

That fake marbly stone panel on the front is pretty clean

[rain turret]

It seems like a slightly higher Lancool 216

[gaunt flax]

Havn won a lot of fans with the quality of their last case, but it was way too big and showy for most

Upcoming Pulsar mice 👀

X · Sep 4, 2025, 2:32 PM

more mice if u click on it

[sinful swift]

Best cheap small wireless mouse for grandma? She likes the shape of my superlight but doesn’t need the features obviously, something with on board memory so I can set and forget at 800dpi

Her current one is a brick

[frigid ivy]

Probably any of those Chinese clone brands

Attack shark, mchose, incott

Atk

[jolly pulsar]

https://a.co/d/daXcQyo

[jolly pulsar]

A basic logitech mouse like this one

Dont buy your grandma some fucking gaming shit lol

Buy her this lasts a year without charging

[jolly pulsar]

its for a fucking grandma xD

Get her something reliable that lasts a year on a charge

[sinful swift]

75g

Jesus

[frigid ivy]

She likes the shape and shape is king. Can always just lower the polling rate to like 250 hz for longer battery life

[sinful swift]

Shell be using probably 500hz because its as low as you in my experience can go without noticing issues even when browsing, on 1k the superlight lasts weeks so I just need like a clone superlight without rgb or holes

[jolly pulsar]

its for a fucking grandma

she wont remember to charge it

Lol

[round lagoon]

lmao

[jolly pulsar]

Also she doesn't need a fucking gaming mouse

[sinful swift]

She remembers to charge things she always plugs in her laptop when she goes to sleep so

[sinful swift]

The clone ones are like 20usd

[frigid ivy]

Yeah clones are cheap af

[round lagoon]

I don't think a grandma need like 8khz capable mouse, maybe get something akin to TV remote where you can replace the AA battery

[sinful swift]

Attack shark is pretty good I hear

[sinful swift]

No she specifically said she didn’t like the weight and clunkiness of her current mouse

She wants something small and light

[abstract warren]

Yeah, shape is king. Gaming or not doesn’t even matter given the price, and the only two things that matter is shape and how long it’s useful life will be given it will be a clone.

[sinful swift]

Looking at attack shark r1 rn

[abstract warren]

It doesn’t have to be a super gaming mouse and it also doesn’t have to be a tech fossil either

[sinful swift]

Shark r1 is only 30usd

[jolly pulsar]

grandma the solitaire gamer

https://tenor.com/view/solitaire-solitaire-ending-solitaire-end-ending-bounce-gif-12792838

[frigid ivy]

The X11 has a charging dock so that might be nice

[round lagoon]

hmm, if that's the case, any light mouse that can set the hz to 125/250 should do

[sinful swift]

I think grandma would like that one

[frigid ivy]

Also there are millennial that are grandma now. Not every grandma is aunt may from old Spiderman

[round lagoon]

1970 people are now 50...

[wet coral]

55

[round lagoon]

and people who watched the moon landing when they're 9 are now 60

fak, forgot the extra 5

but yeah, old

[sinful swift]

My grandma is 79 but still employed so she knows computers, gets annoyed with out of date stuff and so on

[jolly pulsar]

my grandma died at 98 years old 2 weeks from her 99th birthday lol

[frigid ivy]

Also would make sense that older people would want something lightweight and easier to move

[jolly pulsar]

Yall have young grandparents

[wet coral]

youre old

[jolly pulsar]

Stfu

[frigid ivy]

Not me, my father side are dead and mom side is like 80s

[sinful swift]

She browses very quickly she isn’t one of those old people who truly take their time to search things up, she feels that her current mouse with batteries is too slow/heavy and is holding her back

[jolly pulsar]

I just turned 28 and she died like... uh let me think

[frigid ivy]

I'm a millennial, just barely though lol

[bitter sapphire]

both my mom and dad side are dead im 23

[jolly pulsar]

Like the year before covid

2019

[frigid ivy]

She'll be on kovaak in no time

[sinful swift]

in 5 years i need to get a job

[sinful swift]

I’m born 2005 so im 20 now, where i live you say year of birth when someone asks u ur age and some people dont realise 2005 was 20 years ago

[abstract warren]

Really doesn’t feel that way

[sinful swift]

Im still mentally in 2022

[round lagoon]

time moves too fast after 2020

[wet coral]

i dont feel 20 either

i feel like college/uni just throws you through the years even quicker than before

its probably to do with having to switch classes and getting a new schedule every semester which is only 4 months opposed to like 8-10 in highschool

[jolly pulsar]

2020 time distortion

[sinful swift]

To me it wasn’t much different than before, started working when I was like 12, I enjoy the added privileges of uni tho, my main problem with school was always that my way worked well for me but it was too strict and they wanted everything done their way with class attendance and sht

[jolly pulsar]

2020 was so slow and boring that like

It messed up with how we perceive time

[wet coral]

like bro its already 1:30pm and i havent done shit

[abstract warren]

2020/2021 was slow mo, 2022 picked up and we never left the compounding escalator of time

[round lagoon]

1 month in IRL is 3 months in AI world.

last month we lit got GPT5 and it feels like 1 month and 3 months at the same time lmao

[jolly pulsar]

Like the fucking curfews and everything it made everything feel so fucking slow

[sinful swift]

Now I need a medium sized mousepad, preferably cheap, medium friction not too fast or slow

[jolly pulsar]

Stuck inside all day basically

Which wierdly enough like

I still work from home

But shit feels faster now lol

[sinful swift]

Slower might be better for grandma, slow mousepad and fast mouse is a goated combo

[wet coral]

sum sum artisian mousepad

[sinful swift]

Yeah im buying my grandma an artisan

[abstract warren]

You could try a hyperx pad I guess, it’s like $20-30 ish

[wet coral]

oh for grandma

[abstract warren]

Not too branded

[sinful swift]

I have the artisan zero soft with gpx2 and tiger ice, works well, jade was too fast, magic way ice was way too fast

[wet coral]

for sure this is the move

[sinful swift]

I used to play at I think 60cm = 360, then 18cm = 360, now im at 36cm = 360 and that feels alr

Its hard to choose between 36cm and 40cm

[round lagoon]

grandma gonna me an epic gamer

[bitter sapphire]

i dont even know whats my CM to 360

[wet coral]

me neither

[round lagoon]

i just go what feels right lmao

[bitter sapphire]

never understood that concept

[sinful swift]

Only had her play beton brutal and some horror game I think monstrum, but she might like some of the retro games or retro feeling games

[wet coral]

val for example .14 in-game
1600dpi
6 mouse speed in windows setting

[sinful swift]

Just an easy way to explain to others what ur sens is cause u might have a different dpi, multiplier, etc

[bitter sapphire]

for me thats just ???? all over the place xd

[bitter sapphire]

im on 1600dpi as well
and 10 mouse speed in windoge

[sinful swift]

I know mine exactly it’s 36.2711 centimetres = 360°

[bitter sapphire]

i think i was on 1.4-1.8 sens in val idk anymore

[bitter sapphire]

yeah thats tells me nothing xd

[wet coral]

vro

how do you play

[bitter sapphire]

i dont, val is a shit game

[wet coral]

fair enough

[sinful swift]

Let me translate it to current valorant, that’s 0.450 sens on 800 dpi

[wet coral]

its just the one i remember off the top of my head

[wet coral]

thats not too far off my old sens

[bitter sapphire]

that tells me much more than that shit xx cm to 360

[wet coral]

i was .4 at 800

[sinful swift]

My hip fire and ADS is 1:1 because I feel that works well especially w me playing so many games without a dedicated ADS sens

[bitter sapphire]

love CS2 sense

[sinful swift]

FOV doesn’t effect sens in either of these games btw

So just leave it default

Same with aspect ratio

I like having same sens in every game so thats why I use this calculator

[bitter sapphire]

but it helps you with awareness

i have different sens in every game

i never really care if a game has diff sens

[sinful swift]

There is also an app that u plug ur 360° = and dpi into and it will do exactly that spin in game with a keybind, so find a pixel and line it up and u can change it to get the same sens in that game if it isn’t listed in the calculator

[sinful swift]

Yes ofc but im talking abt the calculator here u dont need to put in ur fov it doesnt matter

I have nearly the exact same sens in every game with only a minor discrepancy in the games that have imprecise sensitivity options

I don’t play enough to not get rusty af with different sensitivities

[bitter sapphire]

i love changing my sens time to time

and there are games where faster sens work better

[sinful swift]

I change between 5.0, 5.5 somewhat regularly but thats abt it

[bitter sapphire]

atleast for me there are

i think my R6 sens was 7x7 and 9x9

[sinful swift]

For me it’s usually a matter of zoom, ACOGs I prefer slower sens but 1.0x I prefer faster

[bitter sapphire]

i never changed my zoom sens

it was always on default

i could not care about my zoomed in sens

[sinful swift]

They changed the values completely in shadow legacy so I found a calculator that reverts it back to pre shadow legacy sensitivity and ive always used that, the modern default zoom sens in r6 is very strange and makes the acog much slower

Good system and Ubisoft changes it just for the sake of changing things

[bitter sapphire]

*Pro players

[sinful swift]

Same with siege x, literally a glorified UI update with some bonus features and zero fixes to the rampant cheater issues

[bitter sapphire]

the game become F2P

[sinful swift]

Lets swap some things around and make it look like we did sth this update

[bitter sapphire]

u have more cheaters xd

[sinful swift]

Well someone willing to pay 35-50 usd per month for a cheat is willing to pay 5-10 usd for a new account every few months

Its not like cs2 where the cheats are cheap

[bitter sapphire]

with both game are Free 2 Play cheaters are everywhere

[sinful swift]

These days many cheaters even ones who don’t play tourneys use DMAs which is like a 300-500 dollar investment just to still be ass

[heady zenith]

everything is free 2 play after you bought it

[sinful swift]

For that money you could buy a coach and get a lot closer to champ than cheats will ever get u without u being obvious

[bitter sapphire]

tbh for most of the time paying a coach is even worse

i reached Plat 1 prev season without any issues

i would say a Coach only worth if u know u wanna reach a High Rank

but again even then not for everyone

[sinful swift]

Personally at least for siege the best way to improve more quickly is to watch match replays, you get to see your perspective, teammates perspective, enemy perspective, see the mistakes everyone made and how the round played out, if u do that w ranked games u wont necessarily become better than without it but u will improve quicker

[sinful swift]

In r6?

[bitter sapphire]

yeah

[sinful swift]

Nice

My peak is top 1100

But I don’t play so much anymore so I tend to sit around diamond 2 if I even play enough games to get up there

[bitter sapphire]

and i dont even care about the game

[sinful swift]

Definitely just a lack of games issue, positive kd mostly, if you played 300 games u could probably hit diamond maybe champ, but thats not really worth it unless ur 15 with literally nothing else to do

[bitter sapphire]

i know myself that i cant reach Champ or even Dia

[sinful swift]

In 2.0 its mainly a matter of persistence

[bitter sapphire]

yeah i could not care about it

i never could reach high ranks in any game

whats the point of reaching a High Rank

most of the time i played with friends in r6

and when i played Ranked i was Solo Q'd

artisan raiden soft xl ordered

and some artisan mizugomu skates

i like my zero but i want a proper speed pad

[hazy fiber]

Peak

[shy igloo]

ngl i was researching decent skates on it and i came across a reddit post, 99% sure i saw you in the replies talking about the raiden soft LOL

🙏🏻

[hazy fiber]

I have Raiden mid now, for FPS it's kinda too fast I plan to get Key83 Soft soon

[shy igloo]

I wanted to get a Key83 soft, but thought I wanna go all out and get a speed pad first

Fuck it 🤣

I've been using a Zero Soft XXL with jade speed skates (full size bc dots are weird for me) and want something the complete opposite end of the scale

It was either a Raiden, or the new va-005 wallhack pad

[hazy fiber]

Full size best

[shy igloo]

I do like the jade speed skates but I've heard really good things about the mizogomu

If they're shit, I have a couple spare sets of the jades to re-apply

Using a viper v3 pro

[hazy fiber]

I'm using full size Tiger Ice v2 right now, they're alright, but Jades are smoother.

[shy igloo]

I wasn't a big fan of the tiger ice v2 tbh

Only dot skate I've kind of enjoyed was the pink yanzi dots

and xraypad meteorites are decent (for glass dots) but i used them for maybe 2 days then ripped them off

[hazy fiber]

Dot skates are usable on Raiden mid but they're annoying

I have a habit to push the mouse in the pad and with dots it's scratchy

[shy igloo]

the artisan dots are supposed to be good with soft/mid because theyre flat tapered so they negate the whole scratching scraping issue

not just full rounded

[shy igloo]

arent mid pads shit for pressure aiming anyway

theyre like 3mm thickness no?

[hazy fiber]

Yeah

[shy igloo]

I wouldn't go past soft tbh

I don't think i'd go xsoft either

basically i just want a soft pad

[jolly pulsar]

well nintendo wanted 155cad for a dock... i got this for 90cad :D
considering it has a built in charger and it's so small it was well worth it.

They also make a version with a built in capture card that supports the sw2

But i was happy without that i dont care about capturing footage

I use it mainly at my desk or if i go somewhere its so small its like grabbing my charger and i have a whole dock setup

Oh and it works with the steam deck... better than the 120$ official deck dock lol

Wtf is this

[round lagoon]

Just learned about hd490 pro, hmmm, the more I see it the more that I want it

Since it's a safer choice comfort wise

[patent patrol]

love mine

[gaunt flax]

they do seem great comfort wise. I’m a bit weary of spending $300 more just for that though

[patent patrol]

not much for audio

[round lagoon]

the problem is that unlike 600/650, i don't really know if there's any local store that I can demo it for

well 'local', an airplane ticket to the capitol

[gaunt flax]

Honestly if I didn’t end up using my AirPods half the time I’m working I’d be more tempted

The auto swapping is so convenient, it’s hard to go back

[round lagoon]

mmm, choosing my first high end headphone is pretty hard. Guess I just pray that there's a place that has it for demo I guess

[patent patrol]

490pro more of midrange offering

[round lagoon]

I don't really care about bass, most things that I like to listen in a song reside in the mids, not sure about the treble but the more it is the more I found solo instrument to be enjoyable. If I can't demo the 490pro and found hd600 and dt990 to be comfy enough I might as well get both since dt990 can be gotten for like $150 and if I'm lucky, hd600 for $250.

[quasi field]

Just EQ....

[round lagoon]

I would like any audio equipment to be nice on its own without EQ, cause it's the same thing as youtube+adblock, I have to install it on every device that I watch youtube on.

audio is a lot more weird though, just changing the dac can change the sound lmao

[quasi field]

It's a low effort way to vastly improve sound. You're taking the wrong approach to high fidelity if you don't EQ imo since EQing generally makes it higher fidelity

[quasi field]

Changing DAC usually does not change sound since most of them are transparent

[rigid dagger]

Is anyone planning on getting the PG27AQWP-W when it releases or nah? or any of the other 1440p 540Hz Trueblack Tandem OLEDs?

Depending on pricing maybe

[gaunt flax]

I’m not too keen on silver frame. I’ll probably wait for a black frame version of the panel

Really dislike light coloured frames around the image that I’m viewing

If you’re a bass fan, Xenns Tea Pros are also something to look at but will be like $70 more expensive ish

[round lagoon]

[terse ferry]

You wont know if you like hexa

Until you try them

You either love them or hate them

There is no in between

[proper vector]

Avoid Truthears if you have smaller ears, as most of them have bigger nozzles
Otherwise they are really good for the price

[shy igloo]

Just ordered a pair of Hexas to try, they're only £70 so

Just getting bored of the same sound stages and no amount of EQ can break it for me

Everything sounds lackluster, whether its Music, Gaming, Streaming videos, even work LOL

[lusty roost]

I mainly play FPS games and listen to quite bass heavy music so would the Xenns tea pros be a good choice or is there better for those requirements?

[abstract warren]

From the reviews I saw both Xenns tea pros and astrals are on a similar tier for FPS

Which is one of the reasons I got the astrals before my top pro wait

[lusty roost]

What’s top pro?

[abstract warren]

Xenns top Pro

[lusty roost]

What the difference between top pro or tea pro?

[abstract warren]

Never used the tea pro, but tea has more bass, top pro closely follows the thieaudio monarch MK4 tuning and has more resolution and clarity iirc

They are my personal favorites

[lusty roost]

Thanks for the help 🙂

[abstract warren]

@tawny kernel mains the Tea Pros so he can give you a more intimate review of them

[tawny kernel]

Tea pros are just a nice, warm relaxing set

If u want the more technical one get top pros

[abstract warren]

i think he wants it for a combined FPS + heavy bass listening experience so top pros would do it for fps but probably not for those same genres

[terse ferry]

5.5mm hexas are not that big

[terse ferry]

I mean hexa has neutral eq and for me is perfect for everything

[tawny kernel]

That’s why we don’t rec hexa around everywhere like tic tacs

Well why not recommend peak

[timid oracle]

It has the german flag?

[round lagoon]

mmm, my brain still can't quite used to some sound being slightly on the left/right.

on cheaper IEM it's very subtle, but on my set rn it's very much not subtle. Not too distracting while gaming at least.

ooo, this should be a nice reason to a get a set with little to no soundstage but still has the technicalities.

[serene scaffold]

yeah i got used to it

[timid oracle]

Why not go full speaker setup with subs?

[round lagoon]

Loud

[timid oracle]

Thats the point. Loud and sounds good

[round lagoon]

And I can't carry it everywhere easily

Iem/headphone is just this

[wet coral]

i like using headphones/buds more than speakers

jam out to white girl music in secret /j

[timid oracle]

In high school i made a box with two speakers two tweeters and a 8 inch subwoofer in it with a portable battery and wore it as a backpack. Took music everywhere and sounded loud and good

[timid oracle]

I know what they are. I hate stuff in my ears

[abstract warren]

Only missing the white claws

[shy igloo]

man this raiden soft is fast as fuck compared to my zero LOL

[oak lichen]

It took a while, but I finally found a wife-approved NAS case to match our IKEA bookshelf/"server rack". Sharing in case any data hoarders out there are in need:

[hazy fiber]

It'll slow down over time. I have it for like a year and it's noticeably slower.

[shy igloo]

i use the jonsbo n5 at work lol

[hazy fiber]

Might be time to replace it

[oak lichen]

I was looking at that! If it came in white, I would have ordered that tbh

[shy igloo]

ngl the poron base on mine came slick as fuck and i thought it was a rubber base at first and i got rocked somehow but it's good (luckily)

[shy igloo]

It's really nice, I needed 11 3.5 slots and 3 2.5 slots

and it came recommended by someone at work so bought it

not a bad price either

[oak lichen]

Yeah Jonsbo is also a legit case maker. I've never heard of AUDHEID, and couldn't find any non-Amazon reviews of this case, but I suppose I can be that change I want to see in the world?

[shy igloo]

You're a trailblazer

One day when i grow up, I wanna be just like you

2002 chevy trailblazer my beloved

[shy igloo]

Also using mine with the artisan mizugomu skates, feels nice and textured

[oak lichen]

Curious, you must be using a Flex PSU, yeah? Got any advice? I'm in the market now, it seems.

[shy igloo]

Right now I'm using a enhance 7660b if i remember correctly

[oak lichen]

Looking at a FSP FlexGuru Pro 500W, but I see Silverstone has a 600W Platinum that looks interesting, if not double the price...

[shy igloo]

600w

[vital gorge]

Nas in shelve goes RTTTT

[shy igloo]

I've heard the fan on the fsp is quite loud (never heard it myself but a lot of my colleagues are into the "hobby")

[oak lichen]

Good to know, though the Silverstone has a 40mm fan as well... hmmm..

[oak lichen]

Yeah, I'm hoping this will be a proof-of-concept that I need a wall-shelf rack unit, not a bookcase, imo.

[vital gorge]

Or a basement or utilities closet

[oak lichen]

Yeah, I moved to Finland this year from the US and don't have that anymore. We have a flat and I left this badboy in Detroit: https://sysracks.com/product/15u-35-depth-foor-standing-sound-proof-server-cabinet-sp-15-900/

[patent patrol]

why does the embed have ai voice 😭

[quasi field]

Had a dream that my speakers had arrived. It's getting to me now

[tulip tide]

which speakers

[quasi field]

Neumann KH 120 II

[patent patrol]

so rich

[quasi field]

Your PC probably costs more

[patent patrol]

ye but its a pc...

[tulip tide]

oh sweet, those are going to be great

[quasi field]

Yeah I'm so eggcited. Got the MLA1 calibration microphone too

[tulip tide]

i got a pair of jbl 305pmk2 for super cheap couple of years ago, they make noise.. all i need

[tulip tide]

hmm, i never messed with proper calibration, i just did -3db on bass because i got them right on the wall, which is not that great since they are rear blowing lol

[quasi field]

Mine are front-ported thankfully

[tulip tide]

tbh speakers are so much more exciting than a pair of headphones

i tried so many higher end headphones, but even a super cheap pair of studio monitors beats those

[timid oracle]

Logitech g pro x 2 wireless a good wireless headset?

[quasi field]

I agree. Speakers when optimal will always be the very best

And you get real soundstage with them

[jolly pulsar]

[timid oracle]

What makes it better

[jolly pulsar]

You dont need some shitty software on your pc

And it has good sound

[raven leaf]

But software good make you better gamer

[timid oracle]

Is that the only reason lol because reviews say the earcups are small and scratchy and i hate small earcups

[jolly pulsar]

They fit fine on my head? I don't think the earcups are too small

But everyone has a different head

[timid oracle]

I have a big head and big ears

[wispy blaze]

Your head probably small asf tho

[timid oracle]

Fr. She probably built like a plank

[sinful swift]

Recently started to take listening levels seriously since I listen to music more than 6h per day, on my phone I have it limited to 75db via the earbuds app (it knows what exact earbuds I have so more accurate than ios settings)

However on PC I have no way of knowing how loud it is, I use the FiiO KA11 and Truthear Hexa and even at 20% volume it seems kinda loud, but also hard to tell with how IEMs have a better seal

Does anyone know a way to make sure I’m not going above say 80db?

[ancient mantle]

Without measuring in an ear canal, there is no direct way to know.

Not hard to stay safe by feel though, especially in a quieter house.

[sinful swift]

With IEMs the way they seal it’s very hard to tell because everything is loud and there’s very little noise from outside

[oblique totem]

Adjust volume with 1 bud in

[sinful swift]

I don’t see what that would accomplish

If I do that I will just hear well in one ear and not in the other

It makes no difference to understanding the volume even if im blasting my right ear till im deaf i will still hear my keyboard or other background noise in my left ear if only the right bud is in

[wet coral]

i think they meant adjust the volume with one bud connected to your phone and the iem in your other ear

and try to find a similar volume level

[sinful swift]

Oh I see, I could probably make that happen, otherwise how accurate would it be to just put it up to a mic and play pink noise, should come within a few decibels I think

I think technically there is a way to calculate it based on the specs of the iem and the dac

But I don’t know how to do all that

[shy igloo]

[lament siren]

hell yeah

just got mine today as well

[wispy blaze]

Do you have a Raiden?

If so, how fast do they feel on it (even better if you have a glass pad to compare it with 👀 )

[shy igloo]

Top one is Raiden. I've used a Tekkusai Singularity, SP-004, and a Glsswrks pad I can't remeber the name of. Raiden is new, feels a lot like the Singularity if not slightly faster but without the consistency of glass. There feels like theres little/no X->Y difference on the Raiden though which is nice. I've used it with Jade Speed full size and the Artisan dots but I prefer the dots.

raiden is xxl soft btw

[wispy blaze]

Ive been told by a few top aimers that raiden w artisan dots feels faster than jades on glass

[shy igloo]

Glsswrks pad was a Kazemi

[wispy blaze]

Would you tend to agree?

[shy igloo]

I'd agree yeah, however I may be skewed because a new Raiden is known to be fast as fuck for the first couple weeks

[wispy blaze]

Yeah im just now reaching the "break in" point i think on mine (its a couple months old)

Imo it feels even better now

[shy igloo]

I only used the Jades on glass for a short while becuase they wear down so fast and feel a little scratchy, I swapped them out for the obsidians

[wispy blaze]

Yeah jades on glass ain't it

Unless you wanna swap skates weekly

[shy igloo]

I only really did it because I got the glass pad with Jades already on the mouse and couldn't be bothered to change them out honestly

[wispy blaze]

I miss my glass pad but lost the mouse control to use it well

Curious to try raiden w artisan dots

[shy igloo]

It's a good combo imo

My raiden is XXL soft and the dots don't feel like they sink in at all when I put pressure on the pad

They feel good with both the Raiden and Zero

[wispy blaze]

Ive got xl soft
