Nah i post what i feel like posting lol

I am just addicted to pc building

Lol u will see big sales from me when am6 or new gpus come i always try to stay ahead of the game

[rain turret]

No i mean thats everyone, you always post what you feel like. I was just saying i thought maybe you are more private about it.
I know some OC-ers who prefer it that way, while a big portion of others you know by name, because they have the footprint.

[proper vector]

[exotic bough]

Ahhh nah im not silent about it . I love connecting with people and finding people like myself in these groups

I know i get backlashed because the gap in OCing is smaller

But just pushing everything to its abosolute limits lol is a next hobby in a hobby for me

[rain turret]

The potential in hardware today is smaller, therefore the passion for it slowly smaller.
But that doesn't mean you have to stop or feel bad, quite alot of peeps went back to hardware that provides grounds for the hobby.

[exotic bough]

Dude im going back to the old days of waterboxs making up for it since back then i didnt know custom pcs even existed

Im reverting

[rain turret]

I was quite late to the whole thing, wish i started earlier ^^

[exotic bough]

I wish people did exotic builds again

Everyone is doing lian li dynamic builds

[rain turret]

Some guys you can never catch up to, the amount of knowledge and experience can't be substituted. Very respectfully.

[exotic bough]

Or copying each other

[rain turret]

That too, and small scale

I'm in that hole aswell

[exotic bough]

Lol

Bring back passthrough builds

[rain turret]

Maybe in a future, but not sure how adrenaline pumping it will be to tune now 10 year old hardware in 20-30 years xD

[exotic bough]

MORAs

[rain turret]

Even if money is not a problem then.

there are several MORA enjoyers still i know, always admired that solution

[exotic bough]

I prefer waterbox from MORA but still it shows personality creavity

Custom

[rain turret]

I mean the whole modularity is a great concept

just QDC it whenever you need/want

easy to drain and swap

segment it off

[exotic bough]

AIO ruined everything

These new pc builders never got the heart pumping adrenaline from when u first build a loop and it leaks

Or just stepping back and seeing the coolant run through the twists, bends and turns

Or the stress of putting too big of a thermal pad on one gpu mosfetting

They probably dont even know how to shunt mod lol

[rain turret]

No, today it's about "ohh no, AIO can leak", better just get Air.
track record of no AIO leakage in years, several years of warranty provided
lol

[exotic bough]

Hooefully aio price spikes like ram

Jk

People gonna buy water pumps from homedepot like the golden days

[rain turret]

I like it for ease of maintenance, and since i don't have alot of free time for the hobby and alot of money to spare to make a proper custom, right now i make do with one.
But i can understand and value the difference, and i will liquid cool as long as i use PCs.

Needless to say, the choice of the unit wasn't based on "how cool the pump unit looks or RGB"

[exotic bough]

Lol

[rain turret]

Honesty

[exotic bough]

Thats understandable

[rain turret]

Taking more of a background observer approach for now, just looking at what friends are doing with theirs.
I'll get back to it in a few years when i can. IRL prios.

(although there is a PC project underway, but it's looking like 2027 now)

[exotic bough]

My saying from now is save until new platform hits lol

[rain turret]

That's pretty much the mindset i had when i started to save up last year.

I set a deadline and target amount for this May, but since nothing is coming out this year, i'll extend it to the next.

(plus other expenditures, moving etc)

[exotic bough]

Damn i feel u

[patent patrol]

boardzy glazing the superstrike

[round lagoon]

https://youtu.be/eCxfsrT2k2g?t=117 lmao, fearing the box getting you demonitized

[knotty pagoda]

Yeah it's honestly not* that gamechanging

It's new and feels weird

[rain turret]

I was watching Shroud struggle with it yesterday, but he didn't have the software so couldn't change anything :D

[exotic bough]

Whats the difference between a IEM and regular earplugs

[round lagoon]

IEM is nice for monitoring sound in loud environment. Earplugs just protect your ear from most loud noise.

[rain turret]

That trend went over my head completely, can't really provide input ^^

[patent patrol]

its as gamechanging as we gonna get in mice

[exotic bough]

In thinking of getting the maxwells V2

[patent patrol]

atleast somewhat moving forward

[knotty pagoda]

Mmmmh yeah pretty much

[exotic bough]

So if IEM is better then i might pivot

[quasi field]

It seems worse than 1

[round lagoon]

it's preference which is better

[rain turret]

Shroud said, as best as he can describe it, it feels like as if you were not clicking on the Superstrike
(in the sense it doesn't feel like traditional clicking/actuating)

[wet coral]

what is the box

[round lagoon]

just anime girl

[quasi field]

It's not bad at all

[patent patrol]

what u doing in the stream chat

[knotty pagoda]

want him to admit it

😄

[patent patrol]

he got too many chatters lowkey

[wet coral]

ooo the iems look cool
would match my sojus

[knotty pagoda]

Ignoring me while I sent him his last keyboard smh

[wet coral]

drink themed peripherals

[round lagoon]

I know you've been thirsting this since you first laid eyes on its color

[patent patrol]

not happening LOL

[wet coral]

i had my fill of $300 iems thanks

[exotic bough]

U need it

Buy it

Do it

Do it

[rain turret]

[rain turret]

Use a portion of your toy car budget, you CAN do it!

[wet coral]

the iems ARE my model car budget

[exotic bough]

[wet coral]

am chilling with my blue astrals

[exotic bough]

I see so many pros use it

[rain turret]

Jokes aside, no clue on IEMs, can't relate, L ratio
Back to headset enthusiasm, kthxbye

[exotic bough]

Im trying to get out of t3 and more to t1 leagues

[wet coral]

hate headsets
headphone band bad for hair

[round lagoon]

I mean, the reviewer do says soda have nice imaging, so might be better than astral in gaming

[wet coral]

i am no where near competitive enough to spend another $300 on just iems for gaming, especially when game audio is worse and actually the limiting factor

[round lagoon]

just hope audio in gaming gets better I guess

[rain turret]

Fair, but you know how it's possible to solve?
Having a job, being active and not sitting on the PC 24/7.
Why do i say that and how do i know? I have been on both extremes.
Now that hair problem is not present with the low amount of hours i get to enjoy being on the PC.

[quasi field]

Get good speakers. Doesn't mess with hair and best possible sound

[exotic bough]

Lol

I should be sponsored by astro and audeze

[rain turret]

Speakers also valid, if your surroundings allow for it, but then also subject to your room.

[wet coral]

my hair gets flattened in 2 hours of use
its not the issue that im sitting at my pc all day

[rain turret]

I prefer the focus of the headset in that sense.

[rain turret]

Brush it a bit, it doesn't get as bad in 2 hours as it does in much more.

[bitter sapphire]

i love shipping price from Germany

[patent patrol]

where to

[bitter sapphire]

Hungary

[patent patrol]

damn

[quasi field]

What are you buying?

[bitter sapphire]

Nothing just checking stuff

[rain turret]

That's not how you do it, but nice try ^^

[bitter sapphire]

Than teach me

[rain turret]

What are you trying to buy?

[bitter sapphire]

I don’t want anything i just checking if the shops are even ships to my address

[rain turret]

Then choose something, because 60 EUR is nonsense, especially without knowing dimensions and weight :)

And then we can look into it, instead of this out of context nonsense picture insertion.

[bitter sapphire]

This was in my cart

[rain turret]

Okay lets see

[bitter sapphire]

And still

[rain turret]

7 EUR to warehouse, then 10-15 EUR to hungary with Mailboxde

You can do the same from Computeruniverse, but i doN't know their local shipping rate and clearly the unit price is higher, you already lose the local shipping price therefore it makes no sense.

[bitter sapphire]

Okay this isn’t helpful LOL

[rain turret]

Not sure what is for you then

[bitter sapphire]

Atleast i can’t choose packetstation

[rain turret]

If you are done being so silly and actually care to save some money, do hit me up.
I don't mind sharing and helping with the how to.

[rain turret]

That is still Computeruniverse direct shipping

You don't want that

Since they clearly have a clueless shipping price (even though they are one of the few who directly ships to us)

which is quite ironical, considering in 2022 they still had normal rates to Hungary, for example this order was only 13,81 EUR

[bitter sapphire]

I don’t know how to order stuff to packetpoints

[rain turret]

Hungarian packet points?

[bitter sapphire]

Or any other

[rain turret]

Well that depends on Mailboxde

The method is that you order to your German Mailboxde address anything you need/want and from there to Hungary.
There are a few delivery options, in case of DPD i'm pretty sure it can be redirected to packetstations

Probably GLS too

[bitter sapphire]

Yeah im too dumb for this shit

Im gonna stick to shitty Hungarian prices

[rain turret]

xDDDD

[exotic bough]

Lol thank goodness in the usa its just order and it ships here

[rain turret]

To be fair theres nothing difficult about it, he is just extremely resistant to optimal choices.

But all good pat pat

[bitter sapphire]

Im actually don’t understand how i save money with it

[rain turret]

We can talk about it some other time if you care enough, happy to help

[bitter sapphire]

And im too lazy to learn this

[rain turret]

That is clear ^^

[bitter sapphire]

• i have zero german language knowledge

[rain turret]

Not required

I have zero aswell

[thin zodiac]

I have absolutely no knowledge of English. Thank goodness for translation websites. 😂

[rain turret]

My english is ass today, in comparison to my student years

i'm surprised how it's still functional at times

[thin zodiac]

I left school in 1978 and never needed English again after that.

[bitter sapphire]

For me to send the package to there and to get it to here i have to use this is just complicating stuff

[rain turret]

I never learned English in school, as ironic as it is

Never really put effort in it

just did the requirements and tests and scored 94 to 98% or so

[bitter sapphire]

Videogames, music and youtube videos

[rain turret]

Thank god, cause alot of people struggle, atleast i had one thing i didn't struggle with

As far as school necessity subjects

But vocabulary and it's richness is important to keep

it erodes over the years

[bitter sapphire]

Soo if i order something from Germany i have to send it to mailboxde or how is this works ?

[rain turret]

I doubt i could do the highest certificate today without prep, which i did none for the intermediate one for.
One day i signed up, next day i went in, 95% score, out.

[rain turret]

Yeah, you get a german address and you have to input that address on any german webshop you order from.

[ivory tiger]

pay me 150k € and I will deliver it to you

[thin zodiac]

I hated English even back in school. Reading and writing were okay, but i can't pronounce English words.

[rain turret]

My pronounciation also suffered the last few years, didn't help that i had no mic all of 2024

Didn't really talk in 2025 online either

getting worse ^^

[bitter sapphire]

Okay thats not that bad

[thin zodiac]

hehe

[rain turret]

But hopefully i can turn it around

[bitter sapphire]

And if i had to guess mailboxde would send me an email or i have to send an email to them to send my package to my address or packetstations right?

[rain turret]

atleast in current job we have philippinos, and i'm one of the few who can understand and speak english, so i get the prestigious task to have to divide my attention and translate whatever they want or whatever others want to tell them xD

[ivory tiger]

aslong as you don't write gibberish i guess no one will hate crime you for your English

[thin zodiac]

Well, i'm 64 now, and that's not going to happen. When i speak English, people think I'm from Mars or something.

😵‍💫

[rain turret]

It has a webpage, they do send emails when they receive your stuff, you can also see it weighed and it's details on their page

[bitter sapphire]

I miss some of our Philippino work mates/friends from work

[rain turret]

I made some good friends with some of them, sadly they are sending them home end of February

Contracts not extended :(

The few i got to know are very nice people, hard working and humble

[bitter sapphire]

Okay with this info i finally understand it a lot better LOL

[rain turret]

Closest friend asked that we spend some time together before they go home next week, so i guess we do that.

[rain turret]

No problem, it's only based on your willingness to learn.

I'm not a great teacher and would never claim to be so, but the little i know i have no problem doing my best to give over.

[bitter sapphire]

Yeah when i ordered my GPU ppl said i should order it from Germany or somewhere else bc its cheaper but without info i don’t know stuff

[rain turret]

Yeah, by several hundred EUR

just think about one fact alone

Germany has 19% VAT, we have 27%

[thin zodiac]

WOW

[rain turret]

thats the most core base difference in prices, before we consider individual retailers scalping or inflating any price

[ivory tiger]

27% is crazy

[bitter sapphire]

Yea

[rain turret]

ALmost 1/3 of anything lmao

Unlucky spawn

[ivory tiger]

its closer to 1/4

[rain turret]

Real

But still pain

Ease the pain

[bitter sapphire]

There is stuff that is somewhat cheaper here but yeah most stuff cheaper outside of this shithole

[rain turret]

🙂

[rain turret]

Yes, well this changes from case to case. Like every item i buy i check to the letter.
Some things for some reason at times are like hundreds of HUF or maybe a few thousand cheaper in Hungary, but in the majority of cases, due to that VAT difference and availability, Germany will be cheaper.

[thin zodiac]

I bought a new monitor the day before yesterday. And I was lucky that the VAT was deducted. Saved €126.

[bitter sapphire]

Atleast Electricity is cheaper in Hungary

[rain turret]

I guess so

And internet is quite affordable too, i think

[bitter sapphire]

Yeah

[rain turret]

Atleast compared to Germany and/or UK

that i know

[bitter sapphire]

Yeah we pay 20€ for Gigabit internet

[rain turret]

I'm not at that respectful age yet, but i understand you Sir.

[thin zodiac]

A promotion from MediaMarkt if you have their customer card.

[patent patrol]

i pay 50€ for 300

😭

[rain turret]

MediaMarkt used to be a go to for me for many years when i was a student, but i can't say i touched it in so many now.

It's eye opening difference in price and availability.

The only convenience and bait of it was that you could try some items in person, but honestly, they barely have anything new, and if they do, it's delayed from official release but a substantial time.

Nothing like a Microncenter in the US, if we had that here, absolute W.

[thin zodiac]

I rarely go there. They're usually too expensive. But my old monitor died shortly after the warranty expired. I needed a new monitor, and I needed it fast.

[rain turret]

Yeah if you have a car and can find something that day and don't wanna waste time, it's good for that.

We did get a new stove like that with father a few years back, he didn't want to wait for shipping etc.

But for very high value and conscious/important purchases, i would never.

[thin zodiac]

I sometimes go to MediaMarkt to see what's new. But I usually buy it via Amazon.

😝

[rain turret]

i pay ~12,83 EUR for 100/100 right now

The ISP can do 2000/1000, but i didn't really care to upgrade recently

maybe in the summer

Ohh and it's better than DIGI, which is saying alot ^^

[rain turret]

This counts as touching grass, so valid.

[bitter sapphire]

The thing is our internet contract is special

[rain turret]

👀

[bitter sapphire]

My mon worked at SZTE so we got a spcial contract with it LOL

[rain turret]

Ohh like Business category?

remind me, whats SZTE?

[bitter sapphire]

Something like that

[bitter sapphire]

Szegedi Tudomany Egyetem

[rain turret]

ahh okay yeah

i wasn't sure, it looked like something of a name like my uni had

Thats quite nice, so whats the actual provider?

them?

[bitter sapphire]

It was Invitel now is One

[rain turret]

ohh yeah okay

[bitter sapphire]

Soo we had gigabit internet since 2010 or something i don’t know for sure

[rain turret]

SZE (Széchenyi Egyetem)

Nice, my first gigabit experience was not until 2016

And where i live now, it wasn't possible until 2024 summer

We swimming since then

[bitter sapphire]

We had worse routers in the years soo we limited ourself to 100/250

[rain turret]

Understandable

[bitter sapphire]

But after that router died i was the one who bought one soo we got our 1gig back

[rain turret]

ISP never provided one fully capable in my previous experiences, you always got shafted LUL

Excellent

I finally invested into a proper one last year aswell

Like several years ahead type of consciously

This can do anything any hungarian ISP will do for a decade lol

[ivory tiger]

Uhhh actually any good router recommendations?

[rain turret]

Good or cheap?

[ivory tiger]

uhh budget might be around 150-200€

[rain turret]

I'll let Akko go first o7

[bitter sapphire]

Idk i have this at home

[vital gorge]

Anything unifi :p

[bitter sapphire]

I don’t have any knowledge about networking

[rain turret]

I mean that one fully fits Coin's budget requirement, it's a very entry router with 1Gb capability and very basic features.

2023 model (or a bit earlier, i couldn't find the AX17, only the AX18)

@rain turret when i use my mailboxde address i have to use company stuff that they gave me in the mail right ?

[rain turret]

What company stuff?

[bitter sapphire]

For the address

[rain turret]

Can you like show or detail what you mean? you can DM it if you want

[viscid bison]

same, iem users should be rounded up and taken out to pasture

[rain turret]

Not like that bruh, thats rough

[viscid bison]

Off with their heads! Fr I lost faith in 'gaming' iems when Bose discontinued their QC20. Killer ANC and a silicone piece that would virtually mold into your ears. Unfortunately it had the reliability of someone who rarely turns up on time

We're just making stuff up now

Ah yes a tall mousepad that still wears like cloth and is the same price as a glass pad

[obtuse dove]

-_-

Why

[crude talon]

my brother gave me a piece of chocolate but he threw it down on my mousepad 🥀
time to buy a new mousepad

[silver topaz]

Buy the quantum one mega

Test it out

[obtuse dove]

[obtuse dove]

Quantum base means what though?

[obtuse dove]

That's super interesting, I guess harman was super close apart from the treble aspect of the sound.

The treble rolloff really does make a pretty big difference (to me at least) for the sound

[tribal shadow]

nothing

[obtuse dove]

yeah.....

so why call it a quantum base

LMAO

[rain turret]

thats just what they decided to call it, they say in the post what it is

[quasi field]

I have no idea what quantum means but marketers love it

[mental spade]

Pretty much like AI even if it doesn't use AI slap the label on

[solid harness]

Cloud 3 s or fiio ft1 which one better?

[lunar holly]

im not into headphones at all but what would you most likely use the headphones for?

[solid harness]

Vocal hearing piano and watching anime

[lunar holly]

Asian Intelligence

[lunar holly]

FT1

all the way then

idk if anyone would give you different suggestion on what other headphones to get but if it were between those two, fiio ft1

[solid harness]

I have already bought it and everyone recommended it but then I saw some posts all over reddit that its sounds muffled and too bassy and it makes me think of return it and get cloud 3 s instead

[rain turret]

What do you use Thocks?

[lunar holly]

so youre going based off of reddit posts and opinions?

[lunar holly]

I use IEMs for my audio
Kiwi Ears Astral as my main drivers

[rain turret]

🥝

[lunar holly]

I use Tangzu x HBB XuanNV for everywhere else

[solid harness]

Idk i haven't got mine yet and I have no idea how it going to be i just affaraid of getting disappointed again already had dt 770 pro x and returned it for half the price

[rain turret]

Hinata your name reminded me that TV series i watched recently, very important character in that ^^

[lunar holly]

well to be honest
for your use cases fiio ft1 should do you better than hyperx

I hate using the term "gaming" for stuff like headphones but in this case that's what hyperx cloud 3 s is to the ft1

[solid harness]

Have u ever tried any of them?

[lunar holly]

dont get me wrong cloud 3 s is good for gaming and all that with its punchy signature but ft1 offers great sound stage and details as a whole

[lunar holly]

"basic" knowledge and no i dont use headphones at all

i can't give you any experience but im giving you a general idea

[rain turret]

https://klipy.com/gifs/writing-four-pen

[lunar holly]

scred of headphone dents

and it ruins my hair

[rain turret]

I think you mean headset

[obtuse dove]

So it's just high density foam, bruh

[lunar holly]

lol

[obtuse dove]

Just call it what it is

High density foam

[rain turret]

Why are you still being a child and bothered by a marketing term?
Acting like you haven't seen just as bad or similar before.
This happens with so many products.

[obtuse dove]

Yeah and it's horrible that it's gotten to this point

[rain turret]

Sure, agreed

but why throw a tantrum everytime, who cares, it's just marketing

[obtuse dove]

Fair but I don't like it when it misleads normal people who don't know any better

[rain turret]

It may be an ass product, it may be usable for something

[lunar holly]

thocc

[rain turret]

They should have added Ai base instead

Nobody would bat an eye now

lmao

Personally it reminded me of EK

they had stuff like Quantum Convection etc

[obtuse dove]

Breh

[rain turret]

some really far out model names

[obtuse dove]

Can't be as bad as Sony

WF1000-XM6

[rain turret]

no wait

TVs!

[obtuse dove]

WH1000-XM6

[rain turret]

not just Sony either

[obtuse dove]

Computer monitors too

[rain turret]

true

but

[obtuse dove]

ASUS PG32UCDM

Lmao

[rain turret]

those are atleast usually made up of hidden details

[ivory tiger]

its a 32" screen I assume, atleast some information in the name

[rain turret]

Not exactly sure, i don't have a guide. But for RAM i had some very elaborate explanation on everything a single S/N (Serial Number) stands for.

[obtuse dove]

The names do have a meaning but I don't know off the top of my head

[rain turret]

or rather SKU, my bad. S/N is different.

On TVs however (and Samsung comes to mind first), you have the "code" of a model thats clear, but then you try to buy the same thing in 3 different regions, they extend that code, which is supposedly a "regional model" marker.

Now thats where it gets confusing.

[heady crystal]

LG have that with their TVs

[rain turret]

(for the regular customer that is)

[heady crystal]

I’m sure some of that is just so they can track units sold etc

[lunar holly]

what the hell

[valid drift]

that looks ugly as FUCK

Holy messy treble wtaf

Although that might not be noticeable to some people

[quasi field]

I'm trying the PEQdB Diamond preset now

[obtuse dove]

Nice nice

I like it

More harman-y with a bit more air treble

[quasi field]

Very high fidelity sounding

[obtuse dove]

Indeed

[round lagoon]

see, I know treble that has minor deviation can sound really nice

[viscid bison]

bro what are those materials, sounds like something you'd only find in the cultural archives of Stella Montis

[plain schooner]

You aren’t ready for Quantum Base

[quasi field]

I'm not using the FT1 if that's what you mean

[round lagoon]

I meant the peqdb diamond

Though the treble on that can be slightly reduced

[tribal shadow]

why are people so hung up about "quantum base" on a discord from a keyboard company that has "tachyon mode"

[wispy blaze]

Ah yes.. a hard cloth pad

[viscid bison]

i doubt anyone is hung up about a mousepad, but fair play for trying to shift the needle in a dead end market

[tribal shadow]

it was posted here at least 3 times

just because of the name

[round lagoon]

well I do hope it's as good as tachyon mode

[viscid bison]

wtf has the time to see if somethings been posted already smh

[tribal shadow]

I don't care about it being "reposted" just that 3 people cared enough about the name to post it here

[viscid bison]

3 people fishing for a meme response isn't being hung up 🤷‍♂️

[plain schooner]

I like PMM personally

Seeing as I have 4 of their shells

[tribal shadow]

never bought anything from them, but don't really have anything against them

have known them for quiet a bit and what they do is interesting, I personally just can't stand 3d printed shells

[plain schooner]

I wish we had Magnesium Viper V3 Pro

[tribal shadow]

nah, magnesium is overrated af

give me a full shell

can still be light and strong

if you wanna do one better then put in structural elements out of a different material like carbon or even AlMg and drop the weight of the shell lower

[plain schooner]

For me 31g-35g is the sweet spot

[tribal shadow]

eh

tbh I care more about shape now

weight is somewhat secondary

[plain schooner]

That’s fair

I think Zen8K is an amazing shape

Especially the mini

[tribal shadow]

[plain schooner]

It has a slightly more aggressive curve on the right though

[tribal shadow]

ok almost symmetrical i sleep

My Superstrike came with 3 months Aimlabs, anybody interested? ||logi-Hw7FDqLVnaCcSPEQWDiea||

am good thx

appreciate the gesture

[gray shuttle]

Is superstrike the new haptic mouse?

[rapid bane]

ye

[gray shuttle]

How is it?

[obtuse dove]

A lot of people are really liking it

[gray shuttle]

I'm pggling it

Oggling*

[rapid bane]

should i get an artisan

i use a wallhack sp 004 rn

[obtuse dove]

Yes ofc

[crude talon]

artisan wins

[rapid bane]

why

duckywhy

[obtuse dove]

Good quality and good materials that are proven to work

[rapid bane]

ok but why should i, me, get it

[crude talon]

because ur already considering it 🚬

[rapid bane]

yea it’s just a thought

[gray shuttle]

Is it a waste to get the super strike and not play any fps though

[rapid bane]

no

[gray shuttle]

I want to replace my bulky razer

I have a razer naga v2

[rapid bane]

just get it if you want it

idk

[crude talon]

I have four mice and like 10 mousepads but I never play fps

[rapid bane]

why

[crude talon]

idk kinda fun i guess

[obtuse dove]

I guess same reason why I spend copious amounts of money on furry art

LMAO

[crude talon]

wild

[rapid bane]

what is an artisan raiden better at than a wallhack sp 004

[obtuse dove]

Subjective

[rapid bane]

i just want an answer 😭

[crude talon]

it has multiple firmness bases, imo cloth is more comfortable, dust doesn't do the same as on glass, I don't have to replace my skates so often

[rapid bane]

i know, id get both a soft and a mid if i decide to buy it

and i dont have to replace my skates rlly they last forever

im not affected by dust either

[obtuse dove]

well, its hard right, because people prefer different things

[rapid bane]

right

but at face value

glass is harder for static clicking since it’s harder to stop the mouse

that typa shit

[obtuse dove]

that also depends on the type of skates you use

[crude talon]

I love xsoft

[obtuse dove]

its nice, but avoid it if you use dot skates

[rapid bane]

ok ill just ask chatgpt

[obtuse dove]

no

please dont

[rapid bane]

it just said what i said

but with much more words

[crude talon]

🤯

I like artisan pads and I recommend them, but if you're not sure you want one I would hold off, if not you could get it some place with a good return policy, like maxgaming maybe, but it is kinda meh to buy a mousepad just to return it in my opinion

[rapid bane]

where do you even store an extra mousepad

[crude talon]

I have mine next to my desk right now but I could keep them in a drawer or a closet instead I guess

[rapid bane]

oh

[bitter sapphire]

If i had more glasspads i would put them on the wall

[rapid bane]

just bought two artisans

[crude talon]

W

did you get two raidens in different firmness or did you try some different surfaces?

[rapid bane]

raiden soft and mid

[crude talon]

nice

[rapid bane]

that’s a lot of mousepads bro

ehh, depends.

If it's new shell for the wireless module + closed back then it's reshell. If they just slap a wireless module and keep everything the same then yeah it's a reskin

[proper vector]

why hate planar?

[bitter ore]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Q2vc1mrH6k

[tribal shadow]

no

[round lagoon]

heavy, hard to drive, easily break, and idk what the pads replacement is for it.

[gray shuttle]

I hate it

[tribal shadow]

eh, not necessarily heavy or hard to drive

and pad replacement has nothing to do with it

[bitter ore]

cool idea

[proper vector]

lighter than dynamics
And pretty much all planars I found are either <32 or 80 ohm

[round lagoon]

pad replacement is really important for long term use, it's the thing that will break first.

[tribal shadow]

ohm alone does not say how easy something is to drive

[tribal shadow]

yes, but that is not related to driver type

sensitivity is a thing

[crude talon]

only forgot half the factors

[proper vector]

Eh, it's around 90~100db/mW anyway for most

[quasi field]

Typically heavy is what I dislike about them

There's also plenty of downsides to planar magnetic headphones - their excursion is limited by the distance of membrane to magnets - higher excursion requires higher distance, but higher distance yields a lower magnetic flux, which reduces the force and lowers the excursion at equal input.
So because they can't produce a lot of excursion, they have to make up for this with a high membrane area (to move a similar amount of air volume). And they still require stronger magnets, which drives up the cost (and weight!).

[proper vector]

But there are heavy dynamics and light planars too

[quasi field]

Yes but the trend leans in the opposite direction

LCD-1 is the only lightweight one I can think of at the moment

There is so much nonsense surrounding driving the Susvara

[round lagoon]

Nah man, gotta get that 10w amp to get the headphone 100%.

[quasi field]

My 80 dB headroom is better than your 30 dB headroom!

[late brook]

that shit will not be worth it, I'm pretty sure about that.

[patent patrol]

we ALL selling our wooting for this

[patent patrol]

superstrike arriving tomorrow

[crude talon]

Nice

[rich condor]

To drive a Susvara one needs power...
Here's my friend powering a Susvara to show you what kind of setup you REALLY need

https://giphy.com/gifs/reaction-zCv1NuGumldXa

[white jackal]

All that talk for a headphone that‘s just an amongus reference

vara

[viscid bison]

there goes all my oxygen wasted blowing up my hopium balloon, thinking it'd be priced similar to the Viper SE

[viscid bison]

what it's worth differs from person to person, and presuming it'll never be made again; the scarcity is part of the appeal imo

[rain turret]

Any Titan Evo users here?

[silver topaz]

Hello

[patent patrol]

https://youtu.be/wYp2Yo-7bTg?si=oIoRe6MIkOV1bAWb

damn he even opened it

20ms click time improvement for him

[vague sparrow]

How long is a click?

If his click were 100 ms’originally yeah it is an improvment

[elfin kayak]

effective advertising for uncs past their prime

[patent patrol]

he was at 240ms with other mice lol

[vague sparrow]

This mouse will make you 10 years younger

[vague sparrow]

Yeah not a huge improvment

[patent patrol]

depends on how much of that is his reaction time

[vague sparrow]

20 ms is only 1/12 of 240 it is not something really changing how fast he is

Now he is probably faster than me

[patent patrol]

if your reaction time is like the normal 150

then 20ms less

[vague sparrow]

Depend your age

[elfin kayak]

dave mentioned 5 to 6 years younger

[vague sparrow]

For aging gamer might be good but not at 180 euros

Still it gives an edge for competitive gamers

[patent patrol]

same price as every other logitech (or razer) on launch

gonna go down quickly

[vague sparrow]

Yeah for black friday it will be 100 euros

[patent patrol]

nah

[vague sparrow]

Now at least some new things in the mouse tech

[patent patrol]

thats the 2c

i imagine this will be similar

[vague sparrow]

Well how long it took? Dont see the x axis

[patent patrol]

below the image

[vague sparrow]

Oh yeah two month

It dropped fast

[elfin kayak]

on amazon not so much

[vague sparrow]

You guys will get it?

[patent patrol]

mine is just german market

[patent patrol]

it will hopefully arrive in like 2h

[vague sparrow]

Oh do a review then

[patent patrol]

Toazdy

the other reviews will drop today too

[vague sparrow]

Yeah but I think this year and maybe the next year people will hold on on upgrading pc and instead are going to upgrade accessories. So I would not be suprised if this mouse sells a lot

[bitter sapphire]

For that it should be a lot cheaper

[patent patrol]

cheaper then ram

I lowkey expected them to make it more expensive

[bitter sapphire]

Tbh i would even decline the mouse even if someone gave it to me for free

[patent patrol]

no miku mouse

[vague sparrow]

Wait for testing a mouse like that maybe it is good

[bitter sapphire]

I hate the g pro shit shape

[vague sparrow]

Probably there will be other brand using the same technology cheaper

[patent patrol]

I gave up on finding a shape i like more then the superlight

[vague sparrow]

Honestly I like logitech mouse

I have a superlight and a mx master

[patent patrol]

depends on how good logitechs patent is

[bitter sapphire]

I don’t really care about that tech

[vague sparrow]

Well it is the same effect apple use in their trackpad so I am sure there are various way to achieve the same effect

I think they could even use it to get a mouse vibrating like a controller

[bitter sapphire]

Thats a stupid idea

[patent patrol]

probably

[bitter sapphire]

But ppl would not buy that bc its weight

[patent patrol]

people be buying g502s

maybe that would be a good mouse to add some stronger haptics in

[bitter sapphire]

Why would ppl want that ?

[patent patrol]

feeling more immersed

like having some kind of vibration when shooting

that matches the sound

[obtuse dove]

That would be fun to have in an arcade shooter

[patent patrol]

https://youtu.be/2s3_WVwuKcw?si=w-UeefD0kq0qW0QU

[obtuse dove]

Lots of people are saying very good things about it

[delicate raptor]

Mine comes tomorrow and im pretty stoked to give it a shot

[patent patrol]

where the web software tho

[bitter sapphire]

That was a lie

[quasi field]

What's unique about that mouse? I feel that most of the time a new hyped mouse comes out it might be 0,1% better than the last «king» and is immedately replaced in the hype department a week later

[patent patrol]

it basically got hall effect

which no other mouse has

[patent patrol]

🤬

[quasi field]

What's hall effect?

https://tenor.com/view/kemono-friends-humboldt-penguin-emperor-penguin-gif-13166893377832464475

some wooting marketing word

[gray shuttle]

Lol

[patent patrol]

cant wait for lamzu to implement this and then add a 12ms debounce by default

[delicate raptor]

cant wait for lamzu to add this and then my scroll wheel shits the bed for the 3rd time

(maya x would be my favorite mouse if the scroll wheel wasnt dog shit)

[patent patrol]

i hope the superstrike has a good scroll wheel...

[round lagoon]

Mmm, mouse

[viscid bison]

i ain't listening to some pleb with only 300 subs on tube luls

[delicate raptor]

honestly fuck all these mice im getting a new razer boomslang

[gray shuttle]

1.4k usd lets goooo

[patent patrol]

worth

[proper vector]

Remind me 2 months later when PU will start peeling off

$1300 and they couldn't afford $2 of real leather

[viscid bison]

if you can afford it, you can afford to replace it

[proper vector]

If you can afford it, you should be smart enough to spend your money in a better way

[patent patrol]

spending money smart is boring

[vague sparrow]

In the future they will only sell this kind of mouse

[gray shuttle]

Nah

Only producing 1k+ mice is a good way to file for bankrupcy though

[patent patrol]

Imma create an Ai that works best on gaming mouse

[upper sigil]

wdym 1k mouse huh

[proper vector]

One that will disintegrate after 2 months? Probable

[patent patrol]

so they will all be sold out

[gray shuttle]

Boomslang

[upper sigil]

lemme look it up lol

okay, def not pretty/not my style

[delicate raptor]

the new boomsland is 1337 dollars

its more of a collectors thing than anything

i dont think any normal ass person is going to buy it

[upper sigil]

yeah well I aint buying that lmfao

[gray shuttle]

My reply was to someone saying in the future all mice will be like this

[upper sigil]

f that

[delicate raptor]

unless some 40 year old really misses their boomslang from 20 years ago

[upper sigil]

lol

[gray shuttle]

Honestly at that point get a real boomslang (the snake)

[delicate raptor]

lmaooo deadass

[gray shuttle]

They will last longer

[upper sigil]

that's some weird nostalgia huh

[proper vector]

I mean I can also spray paint my morning excrement with gold paint, sell it for over $1000 and if anyone will say that it doesn't make sense I'll reply with "it's a limited collector thing"

[upper sigil]

LMFAO

[deep hawk]

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

[gray shuttle]

Oh hi Mark

[vague sparrow]

Why wouldnt they use this technology for every mouse? If it become cheap there is nothing bad with it

[delicate raptor]

im not here to yuck anyones yum, if you wanna drop over a grand on that shit by all means

be my guest

i know im not though

also whatever kinda fucked up grip you have to use for that mouse would kill my hand

[proper vector]

Technology? I'm talking about using polyurethane on the parts of the mouse that are wearing out the most, pleather wears out like crazy, and for $1300 mouse they could definitely afford $2 of real leather instead

[viscid bison]

sound advice but doesn't apply to everyone

[patent patrol]

i think pelote talking about the superstrike

lol

[vague sparrow]

1300 dollar? What ius the mouse you are talking about

[proper vector]

oh

[patent patrol]

razer boomslang

[delicate raptor]

honestly the fact that theyre not using real leather on the boomslang is kinda insane

[vague sparrow]

Yeah but maybe in the future not now

[vague sparrow]

well I was talking about the logitech

[delicate raptor]

its not even like they would need an insane amount of leather to produce them either, theres only a thousand of them

[vague sparrow]

Apart people with millions nobody will pay so much

[proper vector]

Ah, then yeah, new technology and trying new things is always cool

[vague sparrow]

Yeah for once something new come at least let's wait to see if it is worth

[patent patrol]

when razer making new viper mini

[hazy fiber]

yes please

[patent patrol]

ofc as a special edition for 400€

[hazy fiber]

nooo

[patent patrol]

[viscid bison]

even with leather I can't imagine many would use it regularly. It's super heavy and the placement of the side-buttons, is easy to trigger by accident, apparently

I'd sell it to Calsy for 10k

[delicate raptor]

I mean yes realistically I dont think people are going to be dailying this mouse and its probably just going to sit in the box

but still over a grand, razer could have shilled out a couple of extra bucks for real leather

[gray shuttle]

At the very least

[viscid bison]

yeah, could've just asked Jensen Huang to provide snake leather from his dead ass jacket

[vague sparrow]

when I was younger I used to love razer

ye later

im lowkey eepy as hell

[patent patrol]

i just got 1 lucky prefire

didnt even try to

[patent patrol]

scroll wheel atleast feels normal (more like 2c)

my superlight 2 scroll was kinda loud and stuff

sidebuttons same

skates are normal too

[vague sparrow]

You can set up the sensitity on the button?

[patent patrol]

will still swap them out for magic ice bc i prefer bit faster

ye but not that slow tbh

probably faster then normal superlight 2

😭 uhmwpe dot skates included with the crazylight might be the worst ever

i had the skypad obsidian pros once

those were so bad

[hazy fiber]

pulsar dots are so flat and feel so bad

not sure why they even include them in the box

[crude talon]

pulsar felt skates when

do the superstrike clicks feel like an apple trackpad click

iphone 7 homebutton click

[patent patrol]

never tried

but feels pretty good

[crude talon]

I wanna see if I can try one in a store someday, I don't like the gpx shape though, I'd maybe go for the 2C shape, and from the reviews I saw the skates don't sound great, tragic artisan 8mm dots don't fit
my friend kinda wants a superstrike for the almost silent clicks but he only wants an ergo shape

I don't know, they make you look cute I guess

[quasi field]

I think they make you look stupid 🤬

[crude talon]

Certain pads, mainly glass can have your arm sticking a bit to the surface when sweating, so mostly to help with that, some people just find it more comfortable than their pads surface

[wet coral]

my arm sticks to the glass pad and i dont like using long sleeves

[quasi field]

Okay glass pad makes sense

[ivory tiger]

Burn the haters, or something i don't remember

[proper vector]

No, you burn the witches

[wet coral]

mostly just during the summer, can go sleeveless during winter but the glass is just cold

[round lagoon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7r7hpERFT5w

ehh, has that dip on the 3-5khz, pass

I wonder if there's any IEM with harman 2025 MoA

idc if there's any bass boost over it as long as the treble is close to it

I mean, closest one is hype 4 mk2, but it's $400

actually, I might like apple airpods pro 3

[quasi field]

What is the price

[round lagoon]

at hangout ~$200

there's also the space travel 2 ultra, treble is almost dead on harman 2025 MoA

[atomic lark]

Just got mine (UPS didn't want to deliver, so I had to pick it up...), G Hub seems to fully work with it now. They could have allowed just copying the settings from the Superlight 2 though

[honest dirge]

guys do you have some nice monitor for maximum 85$??? plsss

[patent patrol]

yep ghub had an update for me

[rich depot]

which iems are better for gaming cca phoenix truthear zero 2 or zero 1 blue or candenza

[surreal vigil]

Ksc75 is the all time goat

[ivory tiger]

hii any thoughts on the truthear nova?

[wispy blaze]

I like my zero blue:2

Havent tried any other iem but zero reds and blue:2 tho

[rich depot]

U think they are better theb headsets like hyperx

[wet coral]

yes

by far imo

[wispy blaze]

absolutely

[rich depot]

also if i wanna go for some cheaper ones?

i do 50/50 usd for both but i lowkey wanna get a better mic

idk if u know phoenix cca

[wet coral]

yes

[rich depot]

if they are good

[rich depot]

or cadenza

[wet coral]

i’ve used multiple hyperx headsets

cloud 2s, cloud alphas, cloud alpas wireless, etc

[rich depot]

i been useing my airpods pro 3 for some hours now to test if its comfortable for me i have no problems with it tbh feels more comfortable then a headset but the sound is really bad on pc

[rich depot]

i had the alpha wireless

it was decent ngl

[wet coral]

you can get the ones night has

[rich depot]

ye but expensive here

[wet coral]

i went from cloud alpha wireless to the zero:reds

[rich depot]

75 usd

[rich depot]

honest difference no placebo bro

for gaming

[wet coral]

even between headsets i can hear a difference

[rich depot]

ye but so many ppl say this and this yk i hear different opinions so much ngl

i wanna buy iems + mic for around 100usd

[wet coral]

id still suggest saving up a little more and get zero:red or zero:blue2 and then a fifine microphone

[rich depot]

quadcast s not better or?

[ivory tiger]

Aint the quadcast way over your budget?

[rich depot]

i can get it used pretty cheap

[ivory tiger]

Also I think Gore is right, saving a little more will make you happier in the future

[rich depot]

but idk tbh i have to get a dac aswell then tho

[wet coral]

no

well ig it depends

[wet coral]

not for those

even if you have to get a dac, you can just get one for 10 dollars

[ivory tiger]

I had the quadcast for some years, and honestly it was okay, not great nor bad

[wet coral]

i also had a quadcast but it just picked up every little sound even with noise suppression

it also just randomly stops working for a few seconds

which is why i swapped from it

[ivory tiger]

Krisp did a good job for me, but yea it picks up very much

[wet coral]

its because its a shotgun mic

[ivory tiger]

Yup, i think this is caused by the cable tho or some shit

[wet coral]

fuckin mini usb

[ivory tiger]

I am way more happy with my shure

[wet coral]

ill have to finish the gundam tomorrow

[ivory tiger]

But this thing was a ddr5 RAM Kit worth of money

[wet coral]

mine superior

[rich depot]

ye but quadcast s uses usb c

[ivory tiger]

The Sticker is way more superior than our both mics

[wet coral]

if youre in a quiet house then sure you can get the quadcast but imo fifine still sounds better

[limber leaf]

should I get the wallhack sp-004 or the artisan hien

[silver topaz]

Those are 2 completely different things my dude

Like completely different applications too

[limber leaf]

I play tac shooters like valorant and cs2

[silver topaz]

Go with the sp 004, I'm not a fan of artisans more recent grip they use for the bottom of the pads. Only thing to note with the glass pads is you're going to be burning through skates so make sure to pickup a pack of some

[rich depot]

Hmm its pretty quiet but i think quadcast sound better or no? If u see the Price diff its kind of high

[wet coral]

i have both quadcast and fifine microphones

sounding “better” is subjective and in my opinion the fifine mic sounds better

[wet coral]

more expensive does not always equal better

[rich depot]

Which quadcast

And which fifine

[wet coral]

first quadcast and fifine am8

[rich depot]

Hmm do yk if fifine a6t is good or na

[wet coral]

aren’t they almost the same price, am8 allows for further “upgrades” if you want in the future with XLR support

a6t seems to be like the quadcast, a condenser microphone

[rich depot]

I mean i can get a6t with boom arm for 30usd

[rich depot]

Idk xlr bro ngl

[wet coral]

look at reviews for it

[rich depot]

Hm also zero 1 or 2 iem?

[wet coral]

for the red there is only 1 but blue has 2 and get the 2nd one

[quasi field]

I would personally not go for XLR mics for gaming/Discord usage since I see no real benefit

[patent patrol]

modmic my goat

dont believe big mic propaganda

[fiery surge]

the next IEMS im planning to purchase is Kiwi Ears Aether - FreshxReviews put it as a B+ Tier on his spreadsheet and for its price it seems worth it, then I will be buying the AM8 Pro and Fifines low profile mic arm.

Seems to be the best for me anyway.

ive heard the crinnicle zero IEMs can be uncomfy for some people. But idk if its uncomfy for people with small or big ears

[rich depot]

Idk if 2nd is worth more cost tho

[silver topaz]

Only real advantage of xlr is having a cool giant plug for your setup

Like you can't tell me this doesn't look sick

[viscid bison]

that can apply to a lot of iems as there's no one size fits all. For mine, iems that have dips and bumps on the inside fit better, unlike the flat surface on the Astrals. Bore length is another, so your mileage may diff

[viscid bison]

24hr rating out of 10 for the Supastrike, totally worth?

[proper vector]

Mostly because of nozzle size - they have 6.2mm nozzle which may be uncomfortable to some people, usually IEMs have nozzle diameter between 5.5 to 6mm

[quasi field]

I can't go above 6 mm. It becomes too big

[proper vector]

Aria 2 work for me, they have a bit under 6mm nozzle, but I need really soft tips anyway

[quasi field]

I really really prefer the «classic» sized in-ears

[gray shuttle]

This channel is an out of context gold mine

[quasi field]

Just another reason why I dislike multi-driver in-ears. They make the shell big and less comfortable

[viscid bison]

[quasi field]

What were they thinking

Overwatch died to me when they added Ana

[proper vector]

Ana was literally first hero added after main roster

[quasi field]

Yes that's what I mean

By 2019 Overwatch was basically unplayable to me as a Pharah main

[patent patrol]

oh nooo

[quasi field]

Not that they had nerfed Pharah or anything but they had simply added too many heroes that counter her

[tulip tide]

I played when Overwatch 2 came out, but I only ever touched Soldier 76

[patent patrol]

pharah players dont deserve fun

:P

[proper vector]

Yeah, Baptiste was the last hero which was okay, later on it looked like they don't have any good ideas left

[quasi field]

But Pharah was one of the only fun heroes to play, alongside Reaper, Roadhog and McCree

[quasi field]

Is she OP now or something?

She was never particularly OP from what I remember but I haven't played in 7 years

[patent patrol]

nah but can be annoying

[quasi field]

I hated Ashe so much

Never should have been added

Back those days every game had a Widowmaker, McCree and Ashe making it a living hell to play Pharah when there are so many shooter heroes

[patent patrol]

good

[quasi field]

And who do you play? 🤨

[patent patrol]

rn im trying all the new ones

[bitter ore]

holy unironically

jetpack cat is mechanically demanding

its bullets are so small and u do nothing

[patent patrol]

reallll

[bitter ore]

thank god im a tank player

no brain no aim

[patent patrol]

i gotta look at some pro footage when they first play this weekend

im dps player but cant hurt to know the playstyle better

[patent patrol]

Domina is chill tho

needs some aim

[bitter ore]

shes like the extremist poke

does well but gets ran over by anything dive

no cc no movement

[patent patrol]

yep kit pretty fun tho

like pushing people against the wall

[bitter ore]

yup

[patent patrol]

but dont ult tank

so useless

[bitter ore]

the ult generation is crazy

its like one a fight, maybe more

[patent patrol]

havent tried mizuki yet

[crude talon]

isn't artisan using the same poron base they have always been using?

my artisans stick really well, about as well as a glass pad without being as heavy as one

[crude talon]

hien best mousepad 🗣️

[tulip tide]

I'm a fan of glass mousepads, but I recently ordered the Type-99 to try a true mudpad, we will see how it goes

[crude talon]

did you buy a mid pad after only using soft before
mid does stick slightly worse but should still be better than a normal rubber base, you can put down a drop of water on your desk before putting the pad down, should help it stick

[tulip tide]

I think I should've just went with a classic QCK and save myself some money

«But it's undeniable that it's a better sound, and it's frustrating, it's frustrating because it doesn't make sense to me. I don't understand how the power coming in to a device like the (device), coming through a cable that's at the end of all the other cabling in my house, how that short length of cable can make any difference to the sound is beyond me, and yet it absolutely is, that is, making a difference.»
@obtuse dove

[crude talon]

I kinda wanna get a glass pad out and play again but I can't be arsed to take off the 12 skates on the bottom of my mouse 👴

[patent patrol]

12?

[crude talon]

I have 12 artisan p8 dots on the bottom of my crazylight so it doesn't sink into my xsoft pad

I could do the evil and put dots on top of the other skates and raise my lod 🚬

[patent patrol]

😭 😭 😭 😭

[upper sigil]

yeah dude...

[bitter ore]

i am pretty lucky for when i bought mine

[gray shuttle]

Greeb skwates

[upper sigil]

yeah, I bought it like one month before everything went down
