[oblique totem]

why? theres always a way to mount an extra monitor and wire it up

[plain schooner]

I feel like having more than 2 for me is too much

[viscid bison]

this is the way, human eyes can only see 24fps anyways. Save your energy bills 👀

[past dome]

If the human eyes can only see 24fps, I don't want to be watching every frame go by like a slideshow

[viscid bison]

why not try something different like this bad boy; a mouse that doubles down as an exfoliator or sumthn

[plain schooner]

They should have added a little fan to keep my palm cool

Boost my K/D by 10 points

[viscid bison]

pretty sure there's a mouse with a noctua fan built in

maybe that's the one

[plain schooner]

This looks cool though real sleek

Is it magnesium?

[viscid bison]

carbon composite blend of carbon fiber and nylon, so pretty much a formula 1 car in the palm of your hand

ARYE RCC-1

[plain schooner]

Idk why more mouses don’t do a pinky lip

Or should I get that modular mouse
https://orbitalworks.co/products/pathfinder-mouse

[wispy blaze]

I want this but its 190usd

...

Cant justify spending 300 cad for a mouse idek if ill enjoy more than my beastx

[plain schooner]

I want it cause it looks cool with the orange attachments

I still think one of the greatest mouse is the RAZER Naga V2

Too bad it weighs as much as a house

[wispy blaze]

I wanna try it bevause it looks like yoi can make it wide asf

[heady crystal]

I’ve got a Naga V2 Pro. Only use it for MMOs these days.

[wispy blaze]

I honestly didn't mind my razer Naga trinity

Was nice for rust

[plain schooner]

I relied so much on the side buttons for my games

Like I still jumble myself sometimes when using my number row

[wispy blaze]

I used the side piece that had 6 side buttons

Used it for sens modifiers on rust, was very nice for running 4x ak

[plain schooner]

I used the number pad

[plain schooner]

Oh it has optical switches

Ah stupid fucks made the founders shell the purple color

[plain schooner]

Oh you can solder mechanical

[viscid bison]

the optional orange shell adds some pop to it but what's going on with the feet? lol

[plain schooner]

They give you 3 choices I think lol

[viscid bison]

oh yeah that makes sense but that photo is kinda bad

[plain schooner]

Yeah lol

[scenic matrix]

Just buy the g502

[terse ferry]

Looks like someone understands

[plain schooner]

It deformed

Bro that thing weighs as much as a mountain

[terse ferry]

G502 in correct

Do you have your left mouse button finger longer than right one

[plain schooner]

I do a claw grip

[plain schooner]

Wow

[wispy blaze]

Is it limited drop

Or nah

[plain schooner]

nah might sell out for the first batch though

[wispy blaze]

Might try one then

Wish it was sub 30g though

[plain schooner]

I think 30g - 35g for me is the sweet spot

[wispy blaze]

Lowest i had was 36g on my beastx mini

Wanna try something thats around 20-25

[abstract warren]

using any other mouse is going to be a jumpscare moment after a few weeks with that

I really wanna see if the VV3 PMM mod has a similar speed to my Ulx if so thats a goated mouse

[plain schooner]

I have one around 18g the ninjutso sora v2 and I never use it lol

[wispy blaze]

This is why id rather get a printer and make my own

All the schizo light mice are gonna be too skinny for me id imagine

[plain schooner]

Finger tip mice are wild to me

[wispy blaze]

Yeah id want some sort of palm support

If i were to make my own itd definitely look schizo

[plain schooner]

300$ for the Pulse mod with the things I want

[abstract warren]

Me eyeing that magnesium scroll wheel

But then seeing the cost

🥀

[plain schooner]

I got it with my zen8k

[abstract warren]

Never bought from them 😭

Fuck

PMM viper with magnesium scroll wheel would be goated combo with Ulx 😭

[rain grail]

holy fuck

pmm mice

500 buckaroos

[plain schooner]

I might get this pulse

It’s either that or a limited run of a backpack I’ve been eyeing

[abstract warren]

Probably pulse

Backpacks are kinda whatever unless you’re getting a Louie BP

[plain schooner]

It’s looking nice sucks it doesn’t have a magnesium wheel

[abstract warren]

I stg if I get a viper mod kit the wheel is being included and it makes me wanna smash my phone into the wall that I’d get it too considering kit is $130 already 😭

Part of me wants to just get a Beastx max with solid sides but if Maya x speed feels slow for fps then that’s already kind of a no go

[abstract warren]

Does the CF for the mods feel good atleast

[plain schooner]

The little rods inside?

[abstract warren]

the outside shell for the PMM kits

[plain schooner]

Oh yeh I get the ultra grip coating

[abstract warren]

since not all CF feels the same and can vary

[plain schooner]

Honestly it feels wrong to even attempt to betray the VV3P

[hazy fiber]

Yeah, don't. I did it and now I regret.

[plain schooner]

It’s really smooth

1.0 was rougher for sure

[abstract warren]

is it worth the $130 ish

bc I just want something that can contend with my Ulx

and the viper clicks are still good enough

30g viper would be fire af if the CF doesnt feel bad

[plain schooner]

I haven’t regretted it once

[abstract warren]

might have to get it then

[plain schooner]

The one I do regret is the Cyber 4.0 but that’s a fingertip mouse

[plain schooner]

You can always get the pcb for mechanical switches

[abstract warren]

yeah i do not want mechanical

anything that isnt optical is just objectively wrong imo

kinda scarred from the pink huano dots tbh

theyre not terrible but i defintiely want opticals going forwards on all mice

[plain schooner]

Are they these?

[abstract warren]

maybe

[plain schooner]

I like these a lot

[abstract warren]

they're on the Ulx and they are competitive with my other mice, but they dont come close to the beastx opticals in terms of crispness

[abstract warren]

they're not bad, but sometimes I can feel it grind and it makes me want opticals again lmao

[plain schooner]

Maybe it’s time for the pathfinder

[red vigil]

Whats like the lightest mouse you could get?

[wispy blaze]

ive seen custom 3d printer mice that weigh like 10-13g

im sure someone out there made something sub 10g before

13g

[viscid bison]

get the Wallhack instead, it's the good kind of gooner art IMO

[obtuse dove]

My god that print quality is abysmal

Resin printers are your friend for those kinds of things

My attempt at a usable 3D printed Ftip mouse came in at 19.00 grams exact

Specially curated for my specific grip style

Which is why I like it a lot

[plain schooner]

@viscid bison @hazy fiber apparently they’re working on a wireless version as well. op1w 4kv2

[wicked badger]

Anyone know of good options for 3-key qmk macropads?

[silver topaz]

I have one of those, absolutely amazing machine lol

[obtuse dove]

ya, but the uncured resin is nasty and can cause severe chemical burns

[silver topaz]

Depends. If you have water based it's not harmful at all

I mean as long as you aren't like bathing in the stuff

The mean ones are the abs like resins

[obtuse dove]

true

but the MSDS sheets for these resins makes them seem really nasty for your health if you dont wear gloves and whatnot

[silver topaz]

Oh yeah of course, I keep my printer in the garage with carbon filters to cut down on the smell

The only issue is that I have a heated tank, so I've woken up twice to find a ant or small bug dead in the tank

[obtuse dove]

rip lol

[wispy blaze]

How much will a budget one run me

[silver topaz]

300 for a solid one, 500 if you want the best one

[wispy blaze]

So probably around 450 cad after tax

Hmm

[wispy blaze]

Us😭 😭

Tariff + customs fees gonna scalp my ass bald

[obtuse dove]

300-500 bucks

[abstract warren]

assuming theres still skin left

[silver topaz]

Rip, see if elegoo has a Canadian warehouse

[wispy blaze]

Hey now I have a lot of hair up there

[abstract warren]

might do you some good then

[wispy blaze]

I haven't been scalped yet 😭

[obtuse dove]

saturn is better in my personal opinion

[wispy blaze]

They do

[obtuse dove]

specifically the saturn 4 ultra (the one without the 16k LCD)

[silver topaz]

I have the Saturn, but honestly for budget, the mars isn't bad as an introductory

[obtuse dove]

yeah but saturn is nice because it is a somewhat standard size

[wispy blaze]

Im likely mostly gonna make smaller stuff

Schizo mice, little desk things, etc

[obtuse dove]

both mars and saturn will be fine for that yeah

saturn just being a bit bigger and a bit taller

[silver topaz]

Yeah, I think the main thing you need to look for with the newer one sis autoleveling

[obtuse dove]

as far as print volume goes

[obtuse dove]

ye

[silver topaz]

I had a older mars that was u think 250 at the time. Self leveling that thing was hell

[wispy blaze]

Is there anything id need to buy alongside it, or would it come with resin

[obtuse dove]

also there are some hidden costs with resin printing as well, like the cure station, the gallons of 99% Isopropanol you need to buy, and the resin

[obtuse dove]

generally most resin printers dont come with resin

[wispy blaze]

We already have gallons of iso so W

[obtuse dove]

you need to buy that yourself

[obtuse dove]

tbh it doesnt need to be 99% as long as its greater than 90% its probably fine

[wispy blaze]

We get 99% by the 5 gallon pale

[obtuse dove]

jeez LMAO

[wispy blaze]

We use it a lot

[silver topaz]

Resin is like 20 for water based. You don't even need iso

[wispy blaze]

Not bad

[obtuse dove]

also buy like a pack of gloves

[wispy blaze]

Maybe I get this for myself as a Christmas gift

[obtuse dove]

you do not want to be handling the uncured resin with your bare hands

always wear gloves when handling uncured resin

[wispy blaze]

Why not, carcinogenic?

[obtuse dove]

no, worse, chemical burns

[wispy blaze]

Oh

Okay maybe I won't be stubborn about gloves then

[obtuse dove]

its also why you want to wear eye protection as well

cauz if it splashes and gets in your eyes you will have a very bad day

[wispy blaze]

Already get enough fiberglass in my hands from work

Dont need chemical burns ontop of it

[silver topaz]

If you do the resin, start with water based because if you spill it it's super easy to clean up and it's good to learn with. If you spill some on your hands it's not the end of the world either with the water based. Once the print is done you can put it under boiling water to clean and soften the supports on it. Then just sit it in the sun for half an hour and it's good

Try it that way before dropping a bunch on curing stations and ultrasonic cleaners and everything

[obtuse dove]

i'd still wear gloves though, even with water based

[silver topaz]

Oh of course

Just compared to everything else it's the best

[obtuse dove]

yeah, its very beginner friendly

but that is not to say you should avoid the others as well, feel free to use whatever resin you want as long as the printer can handle it.

[silver topaz]

Oh yeah of course

[silver topaz]

The issue with stuff like this is that you need to mess with stuff to make sure the print doesn't come out to brittle

[wispy blaze]

Haven't looked into resin 3d printers before, just so im clear the resin ones use 0 filament correct?

Its just the resin

[silver topaz]

0 filament. Just uv resin

You can mix different hardnesses on the resin also to make different levels of flexibility

[wispy blaze]

How long would a tank of resin last roughly

If i were doing like a few prints a month

[wispy blaze]

Small stuff like a mouse for example

[silver topaz]

If it's just a few prints, probably a month or 2

In your case with the mouse, you'd be using more resin on the supports then the actual mouse

If anything my main concern with printing the mice would be if the actual print would be flexible enough to support it

[plain schooner]

@hazy fiber @viscid bison soldout

[wispy blaze]

Wouldn't i want it to not be flexible

[silver topaz]

I mean when your clicking the mouse it's bending the resin enough to actually press that switch

It'd just entirely depend on how you cure the resin

[plain schooner]

Fuck it we ball @hazy fiber @viscid bison

[silver topaz]

Fire

[plain schooner]

should be at around 32g

[bitter sapphire]

i do wanna get one but idk

[obtuse dove]

Ohno I used FDM for this one

With PLA

Getting the design to be FDM friendly was actually not too hard

[silver topaz]

Oh yeah pla is perfect

Was the initial design meant for resin?

[obtuse dove]

Yeah, PLA is very stiff

[plain schooner]

solid is sold out

[obtuse dove]

No, I designed this from scratch with FDM in mind

[silver topaz]

Thankfully pla is stiff and not super brittle like abs

[silver topaz]

Oh nice

[obtuse dove]

Yee! I still have the Onshape document!

[silver topaz]

Damn nice! How is onshape? I can't say I've used it, only really used fusion 360

[obtuse dove]

Onshape is nice for small assemblies and basic modeling in my opinion

It's a convenient tool because it works in the browser

But for larger projects I just use SolidWorks

[silver topaz]

It works in the browser? Damn I might need to check that out then

[obtuse dove]

yeah onshape works in a browser

thats like its biggest selling point

[plain schooner]

If you're fine with the weight then I'd just keep it how it is

[plain schooner]

damn it soldout completely

next batch is in 4 weeks

[bitter sapphire]

yeah im gonna be fine with my 60g mouse xd

[plain schooner]

I ordered the hot swappable pcb just now

[wet coral]

must consoom

[plain schooner]

I like my blue switches ;-;

[plain schooner]

but yeah sometimes I consume like crazy lol

[wet coral]

give me some money so i can consooom too

[mental spade]

Consooom

[hazy fiber]

Need that mini

[bitter sapphire]

but it would be fun to try out a mouse thats 30g xd

[sinful swift]

is there a reason to pick the x2h crazylight over something like the scyrox v8

[silver topaz]

Only real difference would be feel, the scyrox is better in just all around value

[sinful swift]

any other suggestions? my budget is abt that price, 130~ish usd, dont wanna spend more than 150

my current main has been the superlight for like 5 years but time for an upgrade

[silver topaz]

I know some people hate it, I personally like the Logitech super light pro 2, especially with 25% if your a student. If you want magnesium for a different feel, the beast max isn't a bad option either

I don't like the feel of having holes all over my mouse, so I can't give a ton of insight on other options😭

[sinful swift]

can say ive been recommended lamzu a good amount

[hazy fiber]

Hitscan Hyperlight with 8k dongle

[sinful swift]

dont know if its a newer brand

[hazy fiber]

Lamzu is a good brand

[plain schooner]

Ninjutso Sora V2

[sinful swift]

that was an option but sold out would have to buy from another site or person

[hazy fiber]

Pulsar X2/X2H Crazylight, Hitscan Hyperlight, Lamzu Maya X, WLmouse BeastX Pro, Razer Viper V3 Pro

[sinful swift]

heard about the lamzu inca too being a za13 copy

[hazy fiber]

Yeah, they're similar. You can compare shapes here: https://www.eloshapes.com/

[sinful swift]

im up for any option aslong as the sensor doesnt bug out on a sp-004

[hazy fiber]

Newer mice work fine on glass

Shouldn't have any issues on SP004

[sinful swift]

good to know

i figured anyway

[viscid bison]

Nice one! I wish I had the energy for modding mouses. I'm all out going stock builds, so where's the 60heV2 at? It's 69 days overdue

[plain schooner]

lol I’m happy with the 80he

[viscid bison]

yeah I probably should just get that, we have local store that stocks 80he's

but not in raw

[wet coral]

another +1 for the hitscan hyperlight

[sinful swift]

first time people havent recommended the op18k lmao

[wet coral]

great mouse and good folks at customer support

[wet coral]

i prefer wireless

[sinful swift]

yeah same

just feels odd to play with a wire

[wet coral]

though i think there is an op1 4k(?) thats wireless or whatever they call it

[sinful swift]

multiple people have recommended the hyperlight, inca, and maya x

[wet coral]

i used the gpx for a few years before i got the hitscan and i cant go back but ig the only issue is if you hate small mice

[bitter sapphire]

OP1w 4k v2

Cute lil mouse and bug free on sp-004

[sinful swift]

my boy has the miku pad too

[plain schooner]

Why no OP1?

[hazy fiber]

Because I hate wires

[plain schooner]

Light wires though

[hazy fiber]

Light wireless exists, no point in having a wire

[silver topaz]

Valid

[round lagoon]

hmm, the more I'm in search for an IEM that matches my preference, the more I think I better off just get the best IEM while having looser requirement on what I want the bass to be.

[abstract warren]

The higher up you go, the more and more dynamic the bass seems to be from what I’ve tried once they start packing the drivers in.

[round lagoon]

mmhm, every good iem I see always have a lot of bass. That's why I want to loosen my requirement

Well, 'a lot' compared to hd490.

[red vigil]

Ive been deciding between 3 headphones, I have the budget of 300 USD

The Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless Headphones

ASTRO A50 (Gen 5)

Fractal Design Scape Dark Wireless

[round lagoon]

What do you mainly use your headphone for? Do you use a separate mic currently?

[red vigil]

I mainly use them for spoitfy/youtube videos, and no I do not and currently using the CORSAIR VOID RGB ELITE Wireless Gaming Headset – 7.1 Surround Sound

But I do want a standalone mic

[scenic matrix]

Won't the momentum 4 have a little bit delay?

[round lagoon]

for non gaming, bluetooth latency is fine.

[red vigil]

I dont really know

[scenic matrix]

fair enough

[red vigil]

Is it viable for gaming however? Nothing really competive

[round lagoon]

but if you do gaming, I suggest avoid that and at least go for 2.4ghz wireless.

[round lagoon]

will you be using the headphone outside?

[red vigil]

Not really, just for my pc, I use my airpods for outside

[round lagoon]

If that's the case, you'll be okay with the latter 2 option. I prop lean on Fractal Design Scape but if you can demo it at a store, choose the one that's more comfortable.

[red vigil]

Alright thank you

[scenic matrix]

what about studio headphones up to 600 usd?

thought about either hd490 or dt1990

[round lagoon]

I can wholeheartedly recommend hd490 pro. Not sure about dt1990 mk2, but if you're okay with spicy treble, it could also be a nice choice.

[scenic matrix]

i have hd599 rn and i really like sennheiser

so probably more safe to go with the brand i've had for years

[red vigil]

What if I mix the Fractal's with the MPM-1000U

[round lagoon]

you can mix it fine with just any good mic, just disable the mic on the headset and you're set.

Idk much about mic though

[red vigil]

I do that by chaning my audio output right?

[round lagoon]

assuming you're connecting the headset and mic through USB, in windows you can choose which mic it default to and disable the other. Can also choose specific one in game.

[red vigil]

ooooo

thank you

[plain schooner]

The ultimate mouse

[round lagoon]

@abstract warren How's the top pro so far? I come to a conclusion that if I want an IEM for me, it gotta be not similar but as good or even better than hd490 pro.

[inland umbra]

with a pack of smokes in the back

[tulip tide]

i got the xenns tea pro which should be similar iirc, they are great but maybe a bit bulky for my taste, but thats all new iems

[round lagoon]

size wont be an issue, I've used a lot of IEM that's prop as big as top pro and only found some cable to be uncomfortable, not the IEM itself.

[abstract warren]

Kiwi ears astral are a closer tuning comp for top pros, tea pros are much more bass intensive

[abstract warren]

Pretty much the same as the first day I got them. Still living large

[round lagoon]

noice

Hopefully I can see them on discount by $50 on next Chinese new year

[wet coral]

may astrals drop below $250 on black friday

and DEFINITELY DO NOT raise to 350

[abstract warren]

Not likely

$250 is prob what they’ll be at or slightly less

[tulip shore]

Hey guys, it's aula f75 pro... Can I take wooting keycaps puller and take the spacebar out? The plastic underneath isn't fixed and it's a pain in the eye😮‍💨

[bitter sapphire]

U can

[tulip shore]

Ah I think plastic is broken... Can i use glue for this?

[plain schooner]

Getting OP1 on Wednesday

[plain schooner]

OP1 better be life changing from the way people hype it up

[tawny quarry]

does anyone recommend mouse kits? has anyone felt a difference in weight reduction and performance? im kinda on the fence of modding my superlight 2...

im also considering modding the switches too

[red vigil]

Does anyone have a link to the Hitscan Hyperlight Wireless Gaming Mouse?

HDB 630. $500

Just right within General Human Preference and you can EQ with PEQ on their app.

[quasi field]

How is noise cancellation?

[round lagoon]

I dunno, this review only focus on sound. But he does said that the transparency mode is just about equal compared to the rest (below apple's)

[quasi field]

I really do not like the measurement DMS does. Nothing wrong with the data I just don't like how he presents them. The preference bounds are not good imo

[round lagoon]

Maybe in a couple day there'll be more review you can refer to that doesn't focus on sound. But assuming it measure closely to hd560s (mids wise), it's good enough to me.

[quasi field]

If similar to the 560S but with more bass then it should be a very popular headphone sound wise

[mental spade]

Could be a pick up for me tbh

I'm glad you said that because I have the same desk and my keyboard is on the way lmao

[round lagoon]

Hmm, looking at some of the other review of HDB 630, it's aight. Might grab it on sale at $300-350 in a couple year.

Might not like it, treble is fine but the bass and a mids might be too much for me.

[silver topaz]

Hell yeah

[plain schooner]

Debating on one of these

[past dome]

I use the H6 pro and auto eq with peace

[plain schooner]

I got the Solid Sides one but maybe I should have gotten the Light instead

[hazy fiber]

Solid better

The difference is what, 1.5-2g?

Worth it

[plain schooner]

Yeah it’s a small difference

The full solid sold out instantly

[hazy fiber]

It's fine, you probably won't feel the holes

gotta compare the specs tbh

[silver topaz]

At that point just save a lil more for a ultrawide oled

4th gen tandem OLED though

[wispy blaze]

Ultrawide🤢

[silver topaz]

The oled slander is not justified

[wispy blaze]

Im on oled, no slander there it gaps

But ultrawide icky

[silver topaz]

I just woke up I meant ultrawide😭

Ultra wides are amazing, idk what your talking about

[wispy blaze]

Ultrawide slander is always justified

@jolly pulsar

Smh

[silver topaz]

It's just 2 monitors without the bevel in-between😭

[wispy blaze]

Not a fan of curved screens

• ultrawide makes games look ugly with the fov

[silver topaz]

Just minimize the game to normal size then

[jolly pulsar]

Nuh huh

UltrWide is wonderful

Replaced 3 displays with a 49 inch uw like 2 years ago couldn't be happier

In some ways i can say that ultrawides worth it for some ppl

[proper vector]

KA17 my beloved

If it does not have loudness equaliser and crossfeed it cannot be endgame

[bitter sapphire]

I would be the weird one but i would still use another monitor next to that

[silver topaz]

A second ultrawide

But

Verticle

[plain schooner]

Wait

Did you order?

They’ll be adding the new 3.0 coating to the other mods in like a month

[viscid bison]

I have the LG dual mode and the 1080p res is so bad at 32 inches imo. Object and enemies at a distance are hard to see in certain games. If squinting were a sport, I'd be a gold medalist. Other than that the size is perfect for games and shii

[abstract warren]

No

The total is what keeps me from pressing send

[vital gorge]

lol, who would have thought 🙄
1080p at 27" is already not great

[viscid bison]

I'm sure there's a game out there that can make use of it but 4k is just too good, unless 240fps isn't enough for some

[bitter sapphire]

No

[bitter sapphire]

Ewww

[obtuse dove]

my fav dongle DAC is the iFi GO bar Kensei

its the size of my thumb and it can pump out 477mW out of the balanced output

[wet coral]

1080p already looks shit on 27” displays lmao

[obtuse dove]

tbh I rarely use the 1080p mode on my 32 inch oled ROFL

even though 480Hz does look kind of insane

[wet coral]

i think my oled is the sweetspot

1440p 360

if i were to upgrade itd be 4k but meh

[obtuse dove]

mine is either 4k 240Hz or 1080P 480Hz

[mental spade]

Get me that 5k dual mode with 1440p

[quasi field]

Get me that 5k 480 Hz monomode display

[bitter sapphire]

All my homies want that 720p720hz monitor

[silver topaz]

Unless they're side by side, you don't notice anything past 240hz😭

[rain grail]

I just want a 480p 1440hz monitor

[plain schooner]

Once you go 4K it’s over

[rain grail]

And that’s exactly why I’m stopping myself from touching 4k

[knotty cliff]

I have one and am thinking about just getting a 1080p 24inch 27 is just too big

[rain grail]

dammmmmmmnnnnnnn you got the 1440hz 480p monitor

temu clearance special

[viscid bison]

yeah dual mode is ass, I'm just glad the LG has been heavily discounted as I was thinking about the glossy Asus with that juicy Asus tax

[rain grail]

Facts only reason I got LG is cuz I got it at cost

[plain schooner]

Just missing the op1

[quasi field]

Vesa certified 2 meter DP 2,1 cable!

[red vigil]

I finally completed the list of things I need for my setup 🥹

Fractal Design Scape Dark Wireless

Wooting 60HE+ V2 keyboard (pre order starts november 6th)

Hitscan Hyperlight Wireless Gaming Mouse

Attack Shark R2 Wireless Gaming Mouse

Secret Labs Magnus Pro XL

WALLHACK SP-004

MPM-1000U (standalone mic)
(RØDE PSA1+ Studio Boom Arm)

LG UltraGear 45GR95QE-B
(Secretlab MAGNUS Monitor Arm (Heavy Duty Edition))

Can you rate it

[proper vector]

Um... I don't think it'll work out
Magnus XL is a magnetic desk and interferes with Wooting keyboards, that's a well known problem

[red vigil]

Oh really? What If I were to get a mousepad to place it ontop of it?

[proper vector]

Distance between must be quite thick too, HE sensors are very sensitive, so I'm not sure if only a mousepad will be enough

[red vigil]

Oh 😭, worse case scenario I buy a new keyboard and give my wooting awat

[proper vector]

Get a nice wooden desk instead
Magnus is great if you are a streamer or something, where you have a separate space for computer, that is only for gaming and nothing else
For everyday use it'll interfere with everything magnetic

[hazy fiber]

I think they're releasing new desk which won't cause issues anymore

Everything you need to stay organized. Nothing you don’t. The all-new Secretlab MAGNUS Evo Sit-to-Stand Desk is built for everyday performance. A single cable powers it all, while cleverly placed magnetic zones and a discreet cable tray make clutter disappear in seconds:

Magnus Evo

[proper vector]

[silver topaz]

Get a keebmat, or a keyboard mat. Because of the desk mat you don't necessarily want a full giant mousepad. If you have a keebmat plus those layers of case foam/tape modding you'll be fine. I have the same desk and have the keyboard on the way as well

[wet coral]

ive been using a 3xl deskmat for years

i hate the feeling of my arm sticking to the table

[silver topaz]

Yeah, the mat on the Magnus is just a giant leather pad and it's amazing

It feels weird putting a giant mousepad on top of it because the leather isnt a truly flat surface itself

[red vigil]

Oooo alright thanks

[red vigil]

Isn't the XL already available for pre order?

And its much cheaper than the Magnus ones

[silver topaz]

It was just announced today, I think it opens up December

[red vigil]

Ah

[silver topaz]

Cable tray on that model is much smaller as well it looks like

[red vigil]

The XL is 849 base price though

But still 70 inches in length

[proper vector]

[silver topaz]

Same size, less cable management and magnets

Honestly I'd just go for the normal one for the extra management haha

Plus it hides everything

[red vigil]

😭

I'm only looking at the Evo because it isn't magnetic and it won't interfere with the new Wooting'

And most of my gear in general will be wireless so I won't need a lot of space

[wet coral]

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-reaction-information-my-reaction-to-that-information-my-honest-reaction-to-that-information-gif-613275461876515673

[silver topaz]

Just buy the module when it comes out rather than the keyboard and just get a case slightly thicker

When my stuff gets here I'll test it and let you know if I get false inputs at all

[red vigil]

Alright, thank you

[silver topaz]

Mine was like a grand😭 I got probably 1600 in desk and chair lol

[wet coral]

surely most of thats in the chair right

[silver topaz]

560 for the chair and I'd like to say the desk was 1000-1100

Desk was a gift so it doesn't matter to me haha

[bitter sapphire]

Me who looking at casual desk with the size of 80x160

[silver topaz]

Got it a few years ago

😭

[bitter sapphire]

Ikea desk’s my favorite

[terse ferry]

Kitchen countertop with legs is best desk.

[red vigil]

Wont the aluminum case help with the magnets from the desk, or am I tweaking?

[bitter sapphire]

Nope

[red vigil]

gg

[proper vector]

Actual
It should a bit

[red vigil]

💔

[bitter sapphire]

Idk atm im looking at the IKEA mittzon desk

[bitter sapphire]

I could get the same build that everyone uses but idk

[silver topaz]

Not really, it's just a deterrent, the magnet on the desk are only strong at super closes range so if you elevate the board with enough case foam and yada yada you'll be fine

[red vigil]

Oh, I was thinking of the Holy60 case with EPDM Foam, think thatll be enough/

[silver topaz]

Yeah, long as you have something between the keyboard and the mat like a keebmat or a keyboard pad you'll be fine

The only interference I've seen has only been at like .01 from everything I've read, so it's barely anything without a mat

[red vigil]

Oh alright, I just look for a glass keebmat then

[wet coral]

glass keebmat..?

[red vigil]

gulp

[silver topaz]

Are you keeping the leather mat that comes with the desk?

It's just for the keyboard, find a felt on, glass for the mousepad

[red vigil]

Most likely yeah

[silver topaz]

I just ordered this mousepad

[red vigil]

I was looking at WALLHACK ones, I think the SPA- 004

[silver topaz]

I'm doing that and this one

https://keebmat.com/products/keebmat-felt-edition

[silver topaz]

I like the glass one, but man there's next to no stopping power when you have skates as well

[red vigil]

😭

I want it because it'll go with the sleek clean look I want for my setup

[red vigil]

Will it like COMPLETELY cover the bottom of a 60%?

[silver topaz]

Should, they have examples with a split

I'll let you know when mine comes

[silver topaz]

Fair enough, are you doing after market skates for your mouse?

[red vigil]

Yea, Im probably going to buy some FROM WALLHACK

Im getting two mice. The Hitscan Hyperlight and the attack shark R2

[silver topaz]

Nice, I got a set of esptiger ice v2's for my Logitech super light pro 2 on the way

[red vigil]

Oh wow

I genuinely don't know almost anything about peripherals

I JUST started

[rain turret]

W, i just got my Artisan and Keebmat recently aswell :)

[wet coral]

theres an va-005 now

[bitter sapphire]

thats the fun about it it has a learning curve

[red vigil]

Isnt that one for pre order?

[wet coral]

idk, havent looked into it much cause i already have a glass mousepad

but its supposedly faster than the sp004

[red vigil]

Oh wow

[silver topaz]

W how's that

[rain turret]

Didn't unpack yet, but i bet it will be fire

[silver topaz]

Nice

[quasi field]

farts

[round lagoon]

sorry baby, gotta buy 1 more iem before I replace you

[silver topaz]

Gang I'm confused

Ordered a super light 2 from Logitech cause of the student discount

Never got a tracking number

Was on the phone with them earlier because it showed up as processing on their page

They said theyd process and ship it in 24-48 hours

I come home to a package from Logitech

It's here

So maybe a second one will come in the mail?

[lament siren]

wait and see

[silver topaz]

It still never charged by card fully, just pending which is super weird

Lightest thing in the world, super nice

[wet coral]

thats what happened when i tried getting a replacement for my superlight

so i have 3 in total

[silver topaz]

Company worth billions btw😭

[round lagoon]

They worth billion cause they save money by outsourcing

[past dome]

imagine how much money companies would make if they didn't pay their staff

But I know I shouldn’t

I get it Friday

[silver topaz]

Damn nice

So much stuff on the way yippee

[patent patrol]

tried that on my soundbar

with subwoofer

just hoped it would end soon

[quasi field]

Ty. It's mostly blocked by a tree

Btw it sounds fantastic now. Calibration was major help

Sadly cannot play loudly right now since my upstairs neighbours are asleep

It now feels similar to listening to my equalised headphones but with a genuine soundstage and real imaging
Before calibration you «hear» the room (those ugly peaks and dips in the bass you see on the measurements)

[patent patrol]

cant wait to have a nice speaker setup too

[patent patrol]

is the calibration change done in windows or another device?

[quasi field]

It's done in the Neumann MA1 software and stored in the speakers themselves

istg i asked maxgaming when xxl pads would be back in stock, they said they dont know, so i bought a regular xl, and today after it arrives xxl is back in stock 😭

[patent patrol]

their support never knows shit

[plain schooner]

Yeah not feeling these obsidian skates bro @karmic summit They feel slower than the Ice V2s

[patent patrol]

i asked them if they would stock the artisan dots

they said that they dont know

[crude talon]

smh

[patent patrol]

and then a week later they had them

[crude talon]

got my skates today, ill probably just stick with this xl but i wouldnt have bought it if i knew xxl would be back the same week 💀

they even say on the support page that you can ask when stuff is gonna be back, and then theyre just clueless anyway, very helpful

[abstract warren]

holey fuhk

[crude talon]

also for more complaints my gwolves order has still not arrived after 3 weeks, at least it shipped this week lol

[plain schooner]

It’s slightly smaller than the zen8k for sure

[plain schooner]

Definitely not a fan of a scroll wheel on the OP1 8k

[plain schooner]

yeah the scroll wheel is hella lame

[wispy blaze]

Jesus thats awful

[plain schooner]

I’m waiting for Monday to get the thinner lighter cable and then I’ll swap out the switches inside as well

[silver topaz]

🤢

[karmic summit]

those aren’t obsidian airs

obsidian airs are purple

[plain schooner]

These just says obsidian dots

[silver topaz]

@red vigil cable management came in, get it for your setup when you buy it, it's not terribly expensive for what it is

[red vigil]

Is that for the back of it or for the legs?

[silver topaz]

If you mount your PC on the bottom with their bracket this hides everything

[red vigil]

Ooooo

Im thinking of putting my pc on my desk though

[silver topaz]

Ah, yeah with the xl you'd have enough room

This looks clean though haha

[red vigil]

Oh I bet, hope I have enough room after the three monitors though 😭

[silver topaz]

Uhhh

[silver topaz]

3 of that one you posted?

[red vigil]

ASUS ROG Strix XG32UCWG OR LG 32GS95UE 32-
inch Ultragear OLED (primary)

LG UltraGear 45GR95QE-B (secondary, on top of the first one)

ASUS PG27UCDM (tertiary hung vertically to my left)

Those

It should right?

[silver topaz]

They're all 32's right?

[red vigil]

The primary is

The ultrawide is 44’5

And the vertical one 27 I believe

[bitter sapphire]

if ur pc case is too big u gonna run issue with the LG

[red vigil]

Is the H9 flow to big?

Also which LG one?

[silver topaz]

Oh way too big

[red vigil]

I have the ultrawide one right now

[bitter sapphire]

tbh u gonna see it if u put everything on the table

[red vigil]

Ah

[silver topaz]

Also my man, why you trying to spend 990 on a single rog monitor

[bitter sapphire]

bc thats a dual mode oled monitor

[silver topaz]

That's ridiculous for a 32 inch monitor lol

[bitter sapphire]

u pay for the tech as well

[silver topaz]

Very few people are going to tell the difference between 165 and 330hz. I feel like there's better options

[bitter sapphire]

tbh the LG monitor is 2600$

[silver topaz]

Gang my oled 49 inch was literally less than half that

Mines 240 as well😭

Only difference is mine is long

[bitter sapphire]

idk i hate ultrawides

[heady crystal]

I like the format in theory

In practice...

Yeah

[bitter sapphire]

i hate it bc it give me the fish eye effect

[silver topaz]

Yeah, I just minimize the game and throw discord on the side usually lol

[bitter sapphire]

• i love adjusting my 2nd monitor how i want

[red vigil]

Uhh

Not really trying, just the ones I liked from youtube

[silver topaz]

Go to a store and see if you can spot the difference between 330 and 165 hz

[bitter sapphire]

oh you gonna tell that its much smoother

[red vigil]

I can spot the difference between 165hz and 240hz

Im on 240hz rn

[silver topaz]

Oh yeah of course, but it will be such a fine change😭

All I'm saying is you could totally save a few hundred on the monitors and reinvest it into your mic or pc yada yada

[red vigil]

Oh I have a different budget for my PC

[quasi field]

Wasting the PG27UCDM's potential like that!!!

[red vigil]

I want the RYZEN 9800X3D and either 5080 or the 9070xt

[silver topaz]

You could get a xenon edge with the money you'd save lol

[red vigil]

Xenon edge?

[silver topaz]

I can't wait till it comes out

[quasi field]

You seem to have a lot of money so get a 5080

[silver topaz]

https://youtube.com/shorts/vT6LmKcNhqc?si=csv1Yq091pFQPOIY

[red vigil]

Alright, will do

[red vigil]

Oh yeah Ive seen these

Its like 250 no?

[silver topaz]

Yeah 5080 is going to work better rather than that the 9070

[red vigil]

Alright

[silver topaz]

I think so? I know they weren't supposed to get new stock till like December or something

[red vigil]

They really ran out of stock?

[mental spade]

Wait till you find out how much the gpus cost that people use to run those expensive monitors

[quasi field]

I will buy a 5080 for New Years

[silver topaz]

Oh yeah instantly, it's because it runs all the official stream deck stuff is why it's so popular

[bitter sapphire]

imagine having the money for a 5080 firehazard

[quasi field]

I don't. That's why I don't have one yet

[bitter sapphire]

tbh i dont trust that connector at all soo

my rx 9070 gonna serve me well for a few years

[quasi field]

I trust it more than 9800X3D with Assrock motherboards

[silver topaz]

I only buy motherboards from Asus and gigabyte, I will never trust asrock😭

[bitter sapphire]

i mean any mobo could do that soo

[red vigil]

Would you say its a replacement for a monitor though?

[bitter sapphire]

its good for spotify and lil stuff

[red vigil]

Thats what Im going to use my ultrawide for

Ive really liked it for lyric mode

[silver topaz]

Yeah it's just a lil Spotify/widget monitor is all it really is

[jolly pulsar]

i hate you

[bitter sapphire]

i love moumou tho

[red vigil]

oooooo

[jolly pulsar]

I'm gonna break into your house steal your chicken and give it to moumou

[silver topaz]

I mean it acts like a full on monitor and you can put anything on it, but that's all I'd use it for

[red vigil]

ooooo

But I feel like

having 3 actual monitors would look better

[bitter sapphire]

just get a TV on top

[red vigil]

I have one

[bitter sapphire]

just do this instead

ive used mice far too small to me where i havent needed to hover my pinky

[lament siren]

what games do you even play?

[red vigil]

Roblox

And these Helldivers 2 fortnite Ghost of Yotei/ Tsushima, Black Myth Wukong, and I want to try out old COD campaigns, valorant, CSGO, Halo and doom games

[lament siren]

honestly

its overkill

you dont need to spend that much

for decent frames

9070 xt and 5070ti will be enough

your build is good but its up to you if you wanna drop like 4k+

[red vigil]

Its also

For 3 monitors

[lament siren]

that doesnt matter

[red vigil]

Ooo really?

[lament siren]

are you planning to stream while gaming?

[red vigil]

Not really, but I want to videos while Inplay

[lament siren]

even then its overkill

but its up to you

[red vigil]

Ah

[wet coral]

yeah its a bit overkill for these games

whats your main display res?

[red vigil]

4k 3840x2160

[wet coral]

ah for 4k

[red vigil]

Yes,

LG ‎32GS95UE 32-inch Ultragear OLED (primary)

LG UltraGear 45GR95QE-B (secondary, on top of the first one)

ASUS PG27UCDM (tertiary hung vertically to my left)

Those are my monitors

[wet coral]

mm if youre trying to run max graphics in those more grpahic demanding games like wukong (bad optimization for the most part) you’d probably want something with more vram

[red vigil]

Ah

[wet coral]

maybe wait for the supers to come out

[red vigil]

I mainly play helldivers and roblox how ever

[wet coral]

tbh i got no clue how helldivers perform lmao

i dont have the game and havent looked too deep

[red vigil]

O

Right now with my 4070 super and 7 9700x and medium to high settings

I get 70-90 frames

[wet coral]

are you currently on 4k?

[wet coral]

id say wait for maybe the 5080 super as it should have a bit more vram without going into 5090 price territory

[red vigil]

I believe so

No I am mog

Im on 1440

[red vigil]

Ahhh

[wet coral]

and you can get it with a 7800x3d or 9800x3d if you want ~5-10% more performance

9950x3d isnt necessary if your main focus is for gaming

[red vigil]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VrwVjn
theres also this intel version

I think its a tad more expensive though

[wet coral]

i just wouldnt go intel unless youre doing modeling work

higher power consumption than the amd x3d chips

[red vigil]

Oh

Also do you know about mics and headphones?

Because I was thinking of these

Sennheiser HD 800 S headphones
Shure SM7B
(RODE PSA1 + Studio Boom Arm)

[wet coral]

im currently using a pretty budget friendly mic and iems tho i plan on upgrading to better iems on black friday

[red vigil]

Ive never had IEMS

[wet coral]

not much tbh

[red vigil]

but ive only heard good things about them

[round lagoon]

What is your goal with getting the heaphone?

[red vigil]

Just good sounding ones

That dont really glitch

[wet coral]

i only have gaming headphones or airpods to compare them to so not the highest bar but my $55 iems sound way better than $100+ gaming headsets

[round lagoon]

That's a bit vague. What do you want the sound to be like? Exciting, accurate, or relaxing?

[red vigil]

Oooo

[red vigil]

Accurate sounding while not being to much

[round lagoon]

Hmm, assuming you go for gaming, hd800 should be just about at the end game since it's very good with its imaging and soundstage .

Just make sure to get a Dac/Amp to power it up

[red vigil]

Ooo alright thanks

[round lagoon]

Do you intend to bring it anywhere?

[red vigil]

No

For outside use I use my airpod pros or my airpod max

[round lagoon]

Okay, very nice. That’s all the question I have.

[red vigil]

Alright thank you

[plain schooner]

Tyty

[plain schooner]

Yeah this is the grip my hand keeps going to when using the op1

[wispy blaze]

Mouse grip isnt an objective thing, and hovering pinky isnt really gonna affect much if anything at all

If your an ftip user then yeah maybe

Otherwise not so much

[wispy blaze]

Using your pinky can be nice for rotating the mouse with your fingers but if you dont do that much already its literally no different

[sinful swift]

gamers give mousepad suggestions, on a skypad 3.0 for the past 2 years

[viscid bison]

oh that sucks, can you mod it in any way? When in doubt spray bitta WD40

[quasi field]

HD800 sounds MEH! if you don't EQ it

[quasi field]

HD800 isn't very accurate without EQ just keep that in mind, but it's fantastic after EQ

[plain schooner]

I don’t like the click or the scroll on it

[red vigil]

Ohhhh

[quasi field]

Since you spend so much, an amplifier/dac I'd recommend is the JDS Labs Element IV. It's expensive but it looks nice imo, has a big satisfying knob for adjusting the volume with, is complete transparent sound quality wise, and has parametric EQ and loudness correction built-in which are very important features (you'll never want to turn loudness correction off, trust me). If you just want something with enough power and that is transparent you can spend far less than this though but you really should EQ in the end and I prefer having it stored on the physical device like this

[red vigil]

Lol right now my setup is going to look like this, hopegfully

[quasi field]

I don't see an amplifier here

[red vigil]

hows the Schiit Freya+?

[quasi field]

Mid and overpriced

Good lord don't buy that

It's a pre-amp too

[red vigil]

😭

so which ones are good?

no budget within reason

[silver topaz]

Sakata what kind of games are you planning on playing😭

[bitter sapphire]

https://www.fiio.com/KA17

[red vigil]

roblox

:D

[red vigil]

alr ty

[bitter sapphire]

wanna know something your performance not gonna change that much

[red vigil]

:(

[quasi field]

I wouldn't buy that

[red vigil]

glup

[quasi field]

It looks wholly unsatisfying for desktop use

I don't want to click on what is essentially phone buttons on a device like that for desktop listening. I'd want a knob

[red vigil]

o

[round lagoon]

knob always nice

[quasi field]

This guy seems determined to spend as much as possible and therefore I'd at least get something with a knob. My money is on the JDS Labs for the features and ease of use

[red vigil]

not AS much money

but people keep recommending expensive things so I kind of went with the flow 😭

[quasi field]

The JDS Labs one is $500 if you're American which is expensive for an amplifier/dac, but it feels great to use and the features are honestly necessary for a «serious about sound quality» setup

[red vigil]

Ooooo alright

[bitter sapphire]

ah yes serious sound quality for roblox

[quasi field]

Well I assume he'll be using them for anything audio related

Unless he takes them on just for Roblox and off his head afterwards in which case I'd die inside

I feel like headphones is the least important thing ever for «advantage» in games. Soundstage/imaging of certain headphones feel overstated to me compared to just EQing any other headphone that takes it well. Soundstage and imaging is related to frequency response

Part of the soundstage of the HD800 is also in its frequency response because it has that slightly unattural HiFiMan dip

[plain schooner]

Just get the schiit stack

[quasi field]

He should 100% get the JDS instead of that. Isn't the JDS one just $100 more than those two combined?

[bitter sapphire]

Best dac

[red vigil]

hmmmm

[silver topaz]

MY DUDE your spending 999 on a 32 inch monitor😭

[quasi field]

Where do you live?

[red vigil]

Los Angeles California

[bitter sapphire]

its not that bad when there are monitors for even more

[silver topaz]

Wait it's cute looking

[red vigil]

I already have the ultrawide 😭

[silver topaz]

For a 32 inch monitor for Roblox😭

[red vigil]

yes

[plain schooner]

It's what I use

[deep hawk]

I saw this monitor yesterday and I kinda want it...

[silver topaz]

I just got that one delivered lol

[plain schooner]

Mine dirty though

[deep hawk]

No kidding? Let me know what you think of it!

[bitter sapphire]

ultrawides

[patent patrol]

i like my fiio k11

[quasi field]

Look at all those skin particles

[patent patrol]

glued to the underside of the desk

[bitter sapphire]

i do wanna get another set of IEMs tho

[obtuse dove]

I've spent way more on a 32 inch display

I'll tell you one thing, it's made of mostly aluminum :)

[patent patrol]

i spent more on 27 inch

[obtuse dove]

Moondrop Solis 2

:)

[bitter sapphire]

i do wanna get that 27" QD-Oled from Asus

[obtuse dove]

Asus makes a lot of 27 inch QD-OLEDs

[bitter sapphire]

im not made out of gold

[jolly pulsar]

ONE OF US ONE OF US

[bitter sapphire]

i dont need a 3000$ iem

[jolly pulsar]

JOIN ME MARK

[bitter sapphire]

yeah i want this Asus ROG Strix XG27ACDNG

Glossy Oled 1440p360HZ

[obtuse dove]

vesa HDR 400 true black. Nice

[bitter sapphire]

im gonna stay with SDR anyway

no HDR for me even if its good

[obtuse dove]

Give HDR a try someday

Looks excellent when it is supported

[bitter sapphire]

im fine with SDR

[obtuse dove]

YES YOU DO

[heady crystal]

SDR on an OLED is very good

[bitter sapphire]

thats 5 months of paycheck for me or even more xd

[obtuse dove]

Dayum

[bitter sapphire]

im leaning towards more to get a 150$ one dx

[obtuse dove]

Maybe the job market is really screwed

💀

[bitter sapphire]

i just dont care about audio

[obtuse dove]

Real

Audio is a very mature technology

Can't really improve much over the cheap stuff

Moondrop Chu 2 my beloved

[bitter sapphire]

i use the USB adapter from the Cloud II as an AMP xd

[quasi field]

I think it's a mistake to aim for a certain price whether that is $150 or $3000 with iems since it doesn't seem to guarantee anything. It doesn't mean it will sound better, or have better build quality

Instead of just finding what sounds the best to you regardless of price (which you often find in an even lower price category than $150)

[bitter sapphire]

i love my Red's

[obtuse dove]

I just used the cheapest competent dongle DAC I can find 90% of the time (FiiO KA11)

Cauz it's stupid easy to use

[bitter sapphire]

it was free

[obtuse dove]

No need to do some wacky set up like with the other DACs

[obtuse dove]

Nice

[red vigil]

ONE last thing, which of these pcs will be the best for my monitors?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xkzMjn PC1

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Bd9GyW PC2

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/s4skxg PC3

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/x4QqGJ pc4

[quasi field]

I haven't clicked but if one of them has 9950X3D then that will be better

[red vigil]

oo alright

[obtuse dove]

48gb of system memory is a bit of a weird number in PC1, but it's fine, just make sure to get CL30 memory and not the CL36 in that config

But 9950X3D is nice for pro applications that take advantage of multiple threads, but 9800X3D is good enough for most things and will not bottleneck the 5090

[red vigil]

Im mainly/only going to be using it for gaming

[obtuse dove]

Go 9800X3D then and 64gb of CL30 memory at 6000-6400Mhz

Or 5600MHz if you don't want to overclock your RAM with EXPO/EXPO 2

[red vigil]

Yeah I dont think I want to overlock

[obtuse dove]

Go 5600MHz then if you don't plan on OCing the RAM

Since that is the memory speed that the 9800X3D normally runs at

[red vigil]

Ok

[bitter sapphire]

and that AIO not gonna do much work

[obtuse dove]

But hey, aesthetic is a part of the build for some people!

AIOs look clean

[bitter sapphire]

i know, but its useless

if u have the money just do a custom loop instead of AIO's

[quasi field]

I just buy a Noctua aircooler and force it to run at a locked 25% speed regardless of temps

Silent, and no thermal throttling

[patent patrol]

i just run aio at the speeds i cant hear

[bitter sapphire]

im the only one here who hates his AIO
