Like, even if audio the same if it shows banana and water I can hear that the banana sounds a bit darker while water is clean. That's visual bias, and taking advantage of that (without spending thousands) is imo a valid way to achieve the sound that you want.

[obtuse dove]

As long as the conductor is copper is fine 99.9999% of the time

You don't need crazy gold conductors

Lmao

[round lagoon]

yesh, just color it yellow and it'll sound like gold

[obtuse dove]

Lmaoooo

What does gold even sound like

[round lagoon]

Rich, soft, admiring, and attracting

[obtuse dove]

wtf

I guess you can chew gold with your teeth

Kind of

[round lagoon]

I am joking

[obtuse dove]

Gold connection contacts I can get behind

The gold to gold contact resistance is very low

Hence why things like DIMM modules use them

But gold wires is OD

[proper vector]

Gold-plated connections should be a standard, it costs like fraction of a cent to do this on a 3.5

[obtuse dove]

Yeah LMAO

that's assuming the female connector of the 3.5mm jack is also gold plated

Which it usually is

[round lagoon]

if the dac is even half good, it should have it

[crude talon]

the foam tips look so big

[obtuse dove]

Ur supposed to squish them

[crude talon]

I am aware
they just look massive on the tiny earbuds

the isolation is insane with the foams

[ivory tiger]

Why they even so smol

[crude talon]

why not? no point in making them bigger just cus

[eternal gale]

In the process of cleaning my whole room and setup. Gonna clean my desk, then do a clean on my pc. After that gonna clean my keyboard. Get all the gunk, dust, and hair out and put it on the floor to vacuum, clean my desk again, to make sure then clean my mousepad then put everything back. Last thing Im gonna do is wipe down my display

Looks like a plan

[ivory tiger]

Nahh don't get me wrong, I just have never seen so tiny ones

[crude talon]

they are using very tiny dynamic drivers
small and pocketable

[patent patrol]

they are above average...

[gray shuttle]

Many men have this size dynamic drivers...

[ivory tiger]

That's.. what he said
It's smol

[patent patrol]

[viscid bison]

time to get a bigger garage

[wispy blaze]

I want one

But with actual good hardware

[wispy blaze]

I actually had this when I was a little kid its quite shit lol

Cant even move your cursor on desktop quickly without it skipping/freaking out

[plain schooner]

maybe you can swap the internals?

[wispy blaze]

Oh yeah you deff can with some fiddling

[rapid bane]

maybe you can design your own

[plain schooner]

Ninjutso Sora? those are pretty tiny

[wispy blaze]

M2k pcb👀

Or m3k for wireless

[surreal vigil]

zaunkoenig pcbs are like $130 i dont see any mouse pcb swap being worth that much

[wispy blaze]

Worth is subjective 🤷

But yes it would be a ridiculous swap lol

[surreal vigil]

its pretty objective when you think about a pcb costing the same or if not more than a fully featured mouse

[wispy blaze]

The flex would be worth it

[surreal vigil]

i guess. it just too expensive for whatever mods i would consider doing.

[wispy blaze]

Oh absolutely

Especially so in a shape that would be extremely uncomfortable

But it would be an insane flex

[odd path]

best lightweight mouse comparable to razer orochi v2

[surreal vigil]

Zaunkoenig M3K

[odd path]

wireless ? 🙁

[surreal vigil]

wired

[odd path]

is there wireless

1k$

usd for a mouse

xd

[surreal vigil]

no. if you want wireless go look at gwolves htr or fenrir

[surreal vigil]

reasonable price ngl

[odd path]

1k for a mouse

[surreal vigil]

its like $400

@plain schooner https://www.reddit.com/r/MouseReview/comments/1rmdmcm/razer_viper_v4_pro_released_updated_pics/

[plain schooner]

Doesn’t seem like much of an upgrade no?

[hazy fiber]

yea, just new clicks, optical scroll wheel and latest sensor

and 5g lighter

still no viper mini

[abstract warren]

Soooo heavy

[hazy fiber]

real

[abstract warren]

CS2 pros gonna look at that and go use a g502

[hazy fiber]

still better than 60g superbrick

[rustic mesa]

"Space grade"

Like thats going to make a difference in your gaming performance

[rare estuary]

Do y'all think Wooting will ever make a mouse? I love their quality and webapp because I use Linux and every other mouse maker doesn't use a web app so I can't configure my mouse

[white jackal]

nothing is publicly known about a wooting mouse existing

[deep hawk]

Once Calder's office mouse breaks, we'll start working on a Wooting mouse

[crude talon]

there are a lot of mice with webapps

[patent patrol]

i got a ghost 😨

[wispy blaze]

There's quite a few mice with web apps now

[rare estuary]

NICE lol

[rare estuary]

@wispy blaze

I could only find like two and they were both mid at best. One was like all cheap brittle plastic, the other had no LED at all, and only two buttons for remapping

[crude talon]

why is all plastic bad

[patent patrol]

so u want some moba gamer mouse

that is also not plastic

huh

[rare estuary]

Eh kinda but I use it for programming and work so my macros for work are like copy, paste, cut, enter

I'm okay with plastic if it's not like super cheap brittle plastic. The plastic one online looked like it was made out of something that would shatter if I dropped it on the floor or something. I currently use a plastic mouse that is fine. I just can't configure it

@crude talon @patent patrol

Is just so much faster than using the keyboard for those when you're doing data entry

[rare estuary]

Hahahaha okay that's funny

[patent patrol]

which one did u see lol

[rare estuary]

Lemme look for it again

I saw this one and thought it looked like a super cheap brittle plastic but I went back to their website and I actually see a couple mice that look pretty okay, but I would have to see if they have any that have more buttons

[patent patrol]

oh gwolves

or

idk

[rare estuary]

Yeah that's it lol

I didn't want to just talk trash on a brand

But if anyone does have any suggestions for a brand that has a web app and preferably has more than two remappable buttons then I would love to take a look at it

[patent patrol]

good luck

[proper vector]

Wootimg
Has web app and about 80 remappable buttons on 80HE

[rare estuary]

A ghost can dream 😩

[wispy blaze]

My beastx max is web based, as are newer lamzus

[patent patrol]

Wootimg?

[wispy blaze]

I know theres quite a bit more but do not know names off the top of my head

[rare estuary]

I picked up a beast x Max!

I'll look at Lamzus in a minute

[wispy blaze]

I got the same 🤝

[abstract warren]

@plain schooner you pick up monarchs yet 👀

[surreal vigil]

I think it being space grade is just a marketing term they use. But the carbon fiber shell would make a difference

[rustic mesa]

33% space grade seems pretty specific

[patent patrol]

its light ye

[surreal vigil]

Just checked their website. It’s referring to the cable being an improvement over the last mouse, which anything would be

[wheat lichen]

fxsound a good program to change eq?

[plain schooner]

Not yet

[abstract warren]

I’m battling the inner demons

The sizing has me concerned but at worst they might just not fit as well as top pros/astrals

[plain schooner]

I’d be unstoppable

[plain schooner]

Oh wow that’s chunky

[round lagoon]

if the sizing is at the back it shouldn't be too much

maybe you can emulate it by putting plaster on your iem at the back since the shape seems to be similar at the nozzle side

[abstract warren]

I went back to astrals slightly since my right earbud was being weird (was just the tip) and I liked the top pros tuning more. Feel like these would be unstoppable

[abstract warren]

I think it would feel ‘awkward’ at first but would feel better over time

Maybe I’m coping

Atleast it’s not Valhalla sized

[plain schooner]

I use spinfits on my iems as well

[abstract warren]

I got some extra $ so now I’m tempted

[plain schooner]

If I wasn’t buying a new phone I’d get them

[round lagoon]

If i have money I do be interested too

[abstract warren]

Spinfits gud, I really liked the velvet wide bores and the azla sedna earfit lights but then I can’t hear myself talking on mic

More importantly which faceplate you getting king

@plain schooner this is tuff

[plain schooner]

They have a lot of good ones

I like the opalish looking ones

[crude talon]

massive

[abstract warren]

Unfortunately 🥀

[abstract warren]

Are those new for the MK4s?

[plain schooner]

They’re on linsoul

[viscid bison]

imma try this once I get home. And retire iems forever

[crude talon]

I was thinking of getting the miku iems but gonna skip them, I got er2xr instead and they are so tiny

[abstract warren]

I’d probably avoid going from linsoul directly

You can get them from bloomaudio which is a US vendor and you don’t gotta worry if customs decides to fuck you over

[proper vector]

I kinda want to get this

[crude talon]

I wanted to get the iems but I'm gonna skip

why i get ping

very light mouse

[wispy blaze]

Calling out finalmeme directly

I fw this

[tepid burrow]

im quite interested to see how well it goes

[wispy blaze]

Gwolves qc seems to have improved a bunch from a few years ago, might be pretty good

[tepid burrow]

yeah gwolves eventually got their heads down with qc, but with that and now this, im guessing big things from gwolves are to come

[wispy blaze]

They been cooking lately

If only all their mice weren't for femboys and twinks

Id probably buy one

[tepid burrow]

[wispy blaze]

Their mice are just way too small

[tepid burrow]

think most of them are primarily claw/finger tip

[wispy blaze]

Yeah

Full size 27g could be interesting

Will have to see and compare size to my beastx max

Perhaps I grab one if its similar

[tepid burrow]

will be cool to see for sure

[crude talon]

directly where

[crude talon]

mine has really uneven sidebuttons 🥀 also support so ass it’s wild

[wispy blaze]

The failure of getting sub 30g with both carbon fiber and magnesium

Finalmouses biggest push for the ulx was that the small would be a sub 30g mouse and they never did it without it basically falling apart

[crude talon]

sounds like indirectly

[wispy blaze]

Considering they specifically are calling out both things finalmouse claimed an attempted it sounds pretty direct just without saying it outright

[crude talon]

without saying it outright is the definition of indirect

[weary mist]

Got some new beauties

[viscid bison]

the cocaine part is such tryhard cool like wut?

[blissful gust]

[wispy blaze]

I bought em and im the furthest from 🤷

Good iems shit packaging

[bitter ore]

ooo have the same

[weary mist]

erm acthucally no, i had the zero blues, and then i got the moondrop stellaris, which i bricked, and these were on sale and I had amazon cash back so i grabbed it cause i liked the blues and didn't wanna drop 100 on the stellaris again

i do have an anime tattoo tho....

https://klipy.com/gifs/killua-gon-4

[weary mist]

yipppeeee

i think they were trying to capitalize on the weeb market, i mean cmon, the current growing interest in IEMs and an anime girl? they would buy it up

[blissful gust]

weeb

[wispy blaze]

Weebs spend lots of money on shit i get it

[ivory tiger]

whoa she has a stick

true, the audio on the originals was really good and they fit comfortably, i know they changed the nozzle a bit on the twos but i hope the sound is still there

[wispy blaze]

The sound is a bit better imo even

[gray shuttle]

I have the OGs

[wispy blaze]

And the nozzles are less, intrusive we can call it

The og ones kinda gaped your ears a little lol

oh yeah

reds are missing the kick that the astrals have

it almost like theres nothing playing or its too quiet

[quasi field]

What budget exactly?

[shadow plume]

Under 130

115 actually

[quasi field]

115 what?

I'll assume USD since that's such an American-centric thing to do

[wispy blaze]

Colossal great sword my beloved

I tried a mage build first but your so weak early game

[quasi field]

I don't find mage builds satisfying or fun in any Souls games

[wispy blaze]

I did a blood mage build i enjoyed a lot

But it was way weaker than your typical meta mage builds

(Rock sling, comet Azure, etc)

[wispy blaze]

Still wasnt as fun as beating the shit out of everyone poise with a colossal sword though

[ivory tiger]

I like to parry
Or use big weapon like the big hamma or dex/arcane shit

I have done a lot of builds in the almost 500 hours

[weary mist]

i let them think i was a mage

and then i pull out these bad boys

blackshark is only really good for t2 pro that plays lan

for the noise isolation

the sound from the backshark itself is kinda shit IMO

If you like it, sure. Get solid sides though, side slits version can be very annoying sometimes

[round schooner]

i removed synapse bc i didnt need to tinker with my dav3 settings anymore

synapse web is only available with huntsman v3 keebs

[warped badger]

the mchose a7x ultra is also decent

[proper vector]

MChose, ATK Gear and Attack Shark are to be avoided
Quality on these is questionable at best, not to mention known malware hiccups with their firmware

[timber bronze]

yeah im def leaning towards the beast x max w/sides at 41g. could go lighter but I think this mouse looks sick tho.

[round schooner]

the viper v2 is still really good from my side, its pretty young for an upgrade

i mean i use the later released ergo equivalent

it uses the same tech except the scroll wheel encoder

[timber bronze]

I know the viper isnt a bad mouse per say

[bitter sapphire]

https://pmm.gg/products/neo-8k-standard-mod-kit-razer-viper-v2-pro-mod-copy smile

[warped badger]

what do i get for £70 instead. gotta have a good sensor like the paw 3950 and have more than 1k polling

[proper vector]

Sensor doesn't really matter for few years or so already, pretty much all options on market are really good nowadays

[wet coral]

hitscan hyperlight but the 8k dongle is sold seperately

you really dont need anything more than 1k unless youre running above 360hz monitor

[proper vector]

180
I'm on 240Hz and I can definitely feel the difference in smoothness between 1k and 2k

[ivory tiger]

I don't want to fill it with a marker, I want it to look good and the scratch is like 0.2mm deep so need to fill it as well.

[round lagoon]

way more dead on compared to hexa

so it should sounds smoother

[terse ferry]

You either love hexa or hate it completly

Tho it is basicly hexa graph

[round lagoon]

nah, 1-2db difference can change an iem a lot

[terse ferry]

Well tho for 75 usd hexa is most neutral you can get

[round lagoon]

neutral is subjective. I still need to EQ the iem and divine is the easiest to do that due to the flatter response. Even more so than the Hexa

Does anyone knoew of a good mouse, for claw grip, preferably got the holes in like the wlmouise x beast, black, mid - large hands. Preferably with a good sensor like the paw3950

[hazy fiber]

Why do you need holes? Just curious. If you want light mouse, there are many of them without holes

[warped badger]

they look premium and aesthetic

plus its differtenmt to what i already have

[hazy fiber]

Get beastx then

[warped badger]

to expensive

[viscid bison]

ATK Blazing Ghost or IPI Stay Fly, both affordable with 3950 sensors and holes, lots of holes

[warped badger]

Is the firmware reliable?

[warped badger]

And is the Mchose a7x ultra better?

[warped badger]

Should i get the ATK Blazing sky ghost or the Mchose a7x ultra?

@viscid bison

and if i get the atk blazing ghost, should i get extreme or ultra, purely for performance?

[viscid bison]

I'd focus on shape and weight balance, as performance won't mean much if it doesn't feel good in your hand imo

[warped badger]

ok, honestly, my main focus is performance

but should I get extreme or ultimate?

[viscid bison]

up to you, g. There should be plenty of youtube vids on those mices

[warped badger]

sohuld i get ultoimate or extreme

[viscid bison]

ultimate for longer battery life, or extreme for lower latency. I'd go for ultimate and save a few bucks

not super noticeable on my monitor but I had it pretty bad in my oled vr headset before I got my fit sorted out

also has web software

Yeah I have to try them before buying one

[tribal shadow]

You could try a viper in a local electronics store

Viper v4 is close to release tho

Even if you don't care about it, that would make the v3 cheaper

50€ chinesium double monitor arm
It works

[terse ferry]

@proper vector I have art monitor arm. It is not perfect

Could be better

@proper vector well ergotron arm can go like 60cm forward

[still wharf]

Has anyone ordered the Wooting 60HE v2 from the Philippines? How much tax did you have to pay through customs?

[terse ferry]

@proper vector which msi monitor exactly tho?

[frozen patio]

MSI MPG X50

[proper vector]

273QP or 271QPX
They are both on discount in x-kom and the only difference is refresh rate iirc

[terse ferry]

@proper vector hm. Do they need configurating before use?

[proper vector]

I got 321URX few days ago, it was plug and play, just had to enable HDR in settings

[terse ferry]

@proper vector not a fan of hdr

Tho thanks for recommendations

[bitter sapphire]

Yeah same even tho i tried it

[winged pewter]

I can recommend the mo27q28g if u want matte

Bro…

@proper vector

You’d think with ai they could start making different screenshots

[proper vector]

Done

[bitter sapphire]

Letsgooo

[gray shuttle]

Nice

My Pulsar xlite v2 just arrived

It's so little weight!

I come from a fair heavier razer naga

[heady crystal]

Were you using the Naga V2 Pro beforehand?

[gray shuttle]

Yeah

[heady crystal]

Cool.

[heady crystal]

I still have one, somewhere in this house.

[gray shuttle]

Now I have this beautiful thingie

[heady crystal]

Still need my 12 thumb buttons for MMOs

[gray shuttle]

I don't since I moved it all to my kb

I hate the fight against control when you press side buttons

In my case atleast

[heady crystal]

I don't find that a problem if the buttons are soft enough.

Which is why the G600 is the GOATed MMO race

[gray shuttle]

I miss the control when doing high octane mmo raids

[heady crystal]

I haven't raided in years

Amirdrassil was the last raid I cleared above normal mode in any MMO

[gray shuttle]

I do mythic and before midnight clicking was incredibly precise

I don't know yet how Midnight will be

[heady crystal]

Two raids open next week

Voidspire and Dreamrift

March on Quel'Danas is in 3 weeks

[gray shuttle]

No i mean difficulty wise

I work for raider.io

I know when the raids drop as it means crunch time

Hehe

[heady crystal]

First time we've had three raids at once for a long time

[gray shuttle]

Yeah

[heady crystal]

I look forward to the Echo vs Liquid shenanigans

[gray shuttle]

This is what I made

[heady crystal]

Looks cool

Damn, I forgot this wasn't #🎮│game

[abstract warren]

@round lagoon 🥶

@round lagoon so the rumors of it being a more powerful top pro look to be holding pretty true

I cant hear my keyboard anymore on -27 db

[knotty pagoda]

Got these bad boys a few days ago

Bit late to the planars party though

Can’t tell which one yours are? Monarchs? @abstract warren

[abstract warren]

Ye monarch MK4s

[knotty pagoda]

Sick, I bet they sound great

[abstract warren]

Got to give the Top Pros a hibernation

[abstract warren]

After trying the astrals, I liked the tuning and since I owned the original Xenns Tops, I gave the pros a try and really liked the tuning so after getting some fun bonus $, I decided to yolo a pair

[knotty pagoda]

Yeah doubt you’ll feel to ever “upgrade” ever again

Grats, they’re hot

[abstract warren]

Only ones that come to mind are the Valhalla but idk if my ears can support those LMAO

and my wallet says no

[knotty pagoda]

Idk if I could ever justify 2grand on iems

[abstract warren]

you dont

MK4s definitely feel like a more juiced version of the Top Pros, and the alu CNC body is alot better than I was expecting

also love the cable

[ivory tiger]

Aren't they like $900-1000?
Imma not that deep in IEMs lol

[frigid ivy]

Anyone gunna get the Reference?

Probably the most carefully tuned treble I've seen on an iem

[knotty pagoda]

pricing seems reasonable

[abstract warren]

$1.1-1.2k for the normal black faceplate and $1.3k for mine

[abstract warren]

Top pros are $500 which are pretty good if you want something cheaper but has similar tuning

I still really like them

[obtuse dove]

350 for a 2DD 3BA IEM I think its reasonable

[wheat lichen]

any good dac recommendations that includes a mic input?

[proper vector]

Reddit is funny
They buy Tandem WOLED, fresh technology, and complain that there is vertical banding

[sinful swift]

Why's the 660s2 discounted so much rn lol

[frigid ivy]

By how much? It wasn't very popular when it was released

[silver topaz]

They are 450 right now usually 680

[blissful gust]

Only 500% increase

[abstract warren]

@round lagoon yeah the rumble mode is pretty sick, was worried I’d find something I don’t like, but these are pretty close to a 10 for the tuning and fit isn’t as extreme as I was anticipating

[round lagoon]

very nice to hear, I guess you don't need a new IEM now

[abstract warren]

God help me if I do

That means something terribly wrong has happened 😂

[round lagoon]

I mean, you can always order a custom cable in the future

[abstract warren]

If I did it would be for top pros

Monarch cable is legit top tier

[round lagoon]

waow

[abstract warren]

My only issue with 3rd party cables, is that the connector legit is never as snug as stock cables

Granted I haven’t tried crazy cables but only $10-40 Ali cables and it always happens

[round lagoon]

with how expensive both iem is, it's safe to assume the more boutique cable maker should have the iem in mind when making the cable

[abstract warren]

That’s probably true but dropping $200 on a cable legit feels bad

Same as a kilobuck IEM

[round lagoon]

maybe when you retire, it wouldn't be so bad

[abstract warren]

You’ll be old and grey

Maybe for Turing it would be sooner

[round lagoon]

I may get my 'end game' iem (crinear Reference) this year, just hoping I can get money

[ivory tiger]

IEM prices scare me lowkey
I got the truthear novas as my first pair to try IEMs, but only one side stays in and the cable is meh

Like my IEMs are probably less $ than the premium cables you are talking about

[round lagoon]

it's alright, at least a lot of good iem are now the price of a gmk set

[ivory tiger]

LMAO, may I ask your opinion on the novas tho? You seem to have significantly more knowledge on that than I do

[round lagoon]

harman 2019. I don't like it since I find the tuning too shouty to my liking. But if you can handle the shout it's a very nice IEM with maybe really good separation.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsvo68JSIkQ

Damn, more power than qx13, must also consume a lot of power

[ivory tiger]

I kinda appreciate the shout when listening to music

[round lagoon]

it's also possibly good for gaming, so fits you well

[ivory tiger]

Yea, but before using them I should get a better/comfier cable and a decent amp probably

[round lagoon]

according to him, the power usage is pretty good and remain cool. Might be the next dac I buy

[round lagoon]

time to look at cable review

[ivory tiger]

I am sinking at to many rabbit holes rn
Btw would you say I am fine with the moondrop dawn pro 2 as a DAC?
I am kinda looking at it rn and considering getting it

Price doesn't seem to be unreasonable

[round lagoon]

it'll be pretty okay, it seems powerful enough for IEM.

can also go for Crinear Protocol Max

[ivory tiger]

Hmm I will consider it
Thanks for the help
I will have to wait a little longer until I can spend the money tho

[round lagoon]

it's fine, for IEM most motherboard/laptop 3.5mm jack will be enough

[hazy fiber]

is the ultralight legendary mouse in the room with us?

Woot, i have the OG one (glorious model O wired), the only diff is theoretical switch x5 clicks !?

HE mouse with actuation point setting dropped and they just do "this" ? Wow

Well it was a great mouse, long time ago indeed

[plain schooner]

@abstract warren how they treating you

What music player do you use on your pc?

[abstract warren]

They’re pretty similar to top pros which I liked before, but they got a decent bit higher punch

[plain schooner]

I use music bee

[abstract warren]

Spotify

[plain schooner]

Goat

[plain schooner]

Damn I wonder if I should upgrade from my iems

[abstract warren]

They will feel kinda large at first, but as long as you don’t have abnormally small ears I think you should be fine

[abstract warren]

Worst case you could just get top pros if the sizing will be an issue

[ivory tiger]

I feel like ears also adapt with time
Used in ears on only one side for some years now when I am on phone, now one side of the IEM stays in and the other side feels to big

[abstract warren]

That’s true, it’s possible, but I’d recommend them if you have average sized ears bc they’ll still feel kinda big at first

Vs small ears it’s like GGs

[abstract warren]

They big bois

[plain schooner]

Just like if the upgrade is worth it more like since I have the mangird Top

[abstract warren]

Offensive lineman of IEMs

[gray shuttle]

They arrived:D

[abstract warren]

Ball knowledge

[abstract warren]

They follow very different tuning

They have much higher treble

[abstract warren]

OG tops vs top pros have a different tuning and MK4s have are the final boss of that tuning

[gray shuttle]

I don't really understand eq

My fiio control app has an option to select my iem and then a target

No idea what a target needs to be

[proper vector]

Squigly is lower means frequency is quieter
Higher means louder

Target is what sounds best to you

[abstract warren]

I honestly forget how mine sounded since my OG tops broke a while ago, but MK4 fucks @plain schooner

You could also get the Element 4 and top pros for a similar price as the MK4 which is also valid

[proper vector]

[obtuse dove]

you can use a listening test to determine your optimal target preference.

I found the PEQdB one to be the best option so far.

[gray shuttle]

I'll do that

Doing my best to figure this all out better

It's a lot haha

[proper vector]

Most reference targets will aim to reproduce most natural sound - perfect for editing, not so much for listening
Most people like V-shaped EQ, so boosted bass and boosted trebles

[obtuse dove]

https://peqdb.com/#shootout

[obtuse dove]

also makes sense from a HRTF and psychoacoustics standpoint

[obtuse dove]

there is also a personalized EQ mode but I would only use it if you have very strict preference bounds

[plain schooner]

I’ll save up for the MK4

Since I wanna get a new phone soon

[abstract warren]

Start stretching your ears now

[gray shuttle]

This was a godsent

[obtuse dove]

its a nice tool yeah!

[frozen patio]

Legit question:

I see a lot of people talking about/using IEMs for streaming and gaming etc.

What is the allure to IEMs that conventional headsets and monitors don't offer?

As I see it, you're sacrificing wireless functionality (with most I think?) and driver size.

Is it simply a case of "IEM trendy and doesn't interfere with your hairdo whilst streaming"? Or am I missing something?

No interest in getting a set; just wondering.

Nice one.

[round lagoon]

Sound Isolation, variety of choice, easy to bring around, doesn't require powerful source, very comfortable

[round lagoon]

I wouldn't say higher, more like better controlled

In this measurement, it has lesser dip and lesser peak which can attribute to its precieved improvement over the other

[abstract warren]

I was referencing the peak, but mainly the reviews I’ve heard for Top pros/MK4 was that it has a spicier treble than some ppl like

Unless that part is something else entirely

[frozen patio]

Makes sense. Thanks for the reply!

[abstract warren]

The original top doesn’t have as high of a peak as monarchs

Which is what kitten has so I was comparing the two

[round lagoon]

look at 2k to 6k range, it's higher than both iem on Crin's graph.

[obtuse dove]

and also affordability, you dont need to drop large sums of money for good IEMs nowadays.

20-30 bucks gets you pretty good iems

along with apple dongle

[round lagoon]

yesh, my fav default tuning can be had for $20 (7hz zero 2)

[obtuse dove]

Tanchjim Bunny i'd say is even better

for that price

[round lagoon]

Almost the same. Bunny's tuning is more in line with my 'fav' tuning than 'default' tuning.

[obtuse dove]

yeah, but I think the bunny has better technicalities than the 7Hz Zero 2, mainly better insturment separation.

but that's just me

[round lagoon]

https://youtube.com/shorts/HH-SS_XTqZI

I want

Maybe I get it this December

I still wanna demo it

It should be a perfect companion with Hd490 pro when it comes to listening and composing music.

[quasi field]

You can find amazing in-ears for the price of a burger unlike over-ears

[obtuse dove]

2DD 3BA is not bad

For 350 bucks

I feel like it's crin's answer to Blessing 3 dusk if he had full control of the hardware and tuning

Specs are super similar, minus 1 BA

[round lagoon]

Driver doesn't matter much

Jsut look at how smooth it is on the graph

[frigid ivy]

yeah tuning is where most of the time and effort went into

[heady crystal]

Quantum V-Cache when?

[proper vector]

Quantum Very Cache

[woven cairn]

let's be real. Did we ever have any other clues to its existence other than a database entry of a customs service?

Afaik it was only the entry we've seen about a X3D2 and that's it

no leaked benchmarks, no more rumors, not even a confirmation from another person

it's safe to say AMD had a X3D2 as an engineering sample at some point, but didn't follow through, because the performance gain wasn't worth it in any scenario

[proper vector]

It was quite obvious since the rumours started that the difference will be practically non-existent

[woven cairn]

so why even bother then? Just take what you can get and call it a day

[proper vector]

yee

[woven cairn]

wonder if i can OC both dies beyond 6 GHz for daily use tho

[woven cairn]

gaming, video editing, 3d CAD stuff for the printer

the usual

[balmy elm]

Hi everyone, in your experience is there a clear winner between these 2:

ASUS ROG Strix OLED 27” 1440P Gaming Monitor (XG27AQWMG): 650usd

GIGABYTE - MO27Q28GR - 27" W-OLED Gaming Monitor - QHD 2560x1440-280Hz: 600usd

?

[winged pewter]

1 is glossy one isnt

But from what i read the XG27AQWMG somehow has more greybanding than the mo27q28g

Other than that its the same panel

[proper vector]

Wait, you are moving from 9800 to 9950 mostly for gaming and video editing? There won't be any difference

I got 9950 only because I run a shit ton of VMs and containers at once

[astral musk]

No questions, only capitalism.

[proper vector]

I guess

For gaming it's a downgrade, because you have to deal with core parking

[tepid burrow]

can i hire Calsy AI to boost my pc performance?

[woven cairn]

or disable the 2nd Die entirely and clock the 1st Die even higher. It's actually an option in the BIOS

and not permanently disabled too. Something seems to detect in the BIOS when the system is running a game and disables the 2nd Die on the fly

[proper vector]

Oh yeah, 40% of the time it works all the time
To the point where I use Steam launch options to limit the game to given cores

[woven cairn]

i'll see how it goes without this option first

after all i paid for basically an overpriced board. If it can't even handle game detection and doing its job properly something's majorly flawed

and probably my last top end board ever

[abstract warren]

@round lagoon the wide bore eartips arent the play for MK4s RIP

[round lagoon]

I can see why, it reduces treble a little bit

Plus you don't need more bass

[abstract warren]

using the Azla Sednaearfit ASMRs and they are more dynamic sounding since bass problem of top pros is pretty much resolved with rumble mode

we treble maxxing now

[round lagoon]

Nice nice

[vital gorge]

What is a shitton? And isn't any normal cpu fine for that?

[proper vector]

Maybe, but if company paid for about half of it...

[vital gorge]

Oh yeah..

[astral musk]

Go full linked in on the procurement team.

This will increase your synergistic output by a multiplicative factor.

[woven cairn]

a metric shit ton

however, Cals just emulates a butt load of Wooting devices with those

i won't need that tho, i can easily keep up with Tony soon in terms of simultaneously connected Wootings

because 14 USB-A 3.1 ports at the rear, theoretical 6 via the USB 2 headers + theoretical 4 via USB 3 headers + 2 USB-C headers. In total i could connect 26 USB devices at once

[mint shuttle]

can someone tell me how many recourses the wave link software takes from the PC ?

[bitter sapphire]

Not that much

Maybe 2% of cpu

Or idk never checked

[frozen patio]

Yo yo yo any of you lot pick up the ATK Zero mouse that was released yesterday?

[blissful gust]

@proper vector how many containers do you run

And VMs

[bitter sapphire]

literally nothing

[knotty pagoda]

About 1%

[gaunt flax]

I read that and had to think for a second if there was some tech called ‘recourses’ for pc routing

Even integrated GPU nowadays can handle 4k output

[vague sparrow]

Yeah but in game I dont know

I hesitate with a 27 but I already have a 27 ips

[bitter sapphire]

what GPU do you got ?

[vague sparrow]

Never tried an oled but apparently people say it is good

[vague sparrow]

9070xt

[bitter sapphire]

you should be fine

[proper vector]

Even with 32" PPI is amazing, so that's only up to if you want bigger or smaller monitor

[vague sparrow]

I think I will get a 32 4k yes

Big change from my ips I guess

[bitter sapphire]

in black levels yes

[proper vector]

I have IPS and OLED side to side, lemme make you a photo

[vague sparrow]

I play mostly subnautica, arc raiders, marathon now, starcraft

[frigid ivy]

Marathon prob gunna struggle

[vague sparrow]

Yeah it is not doing well

I find it very difficult

Too difficult

It is a good game but casual like me suffer a lot

[frigid ivy]

Also gunna have to turn off VRR and just cap the fps

For oled

[vague sparrow]

Well if it is in 4k not sure I will have to cap fps

I have a 27 1440p ultragear ips

[ivory tiger]

I don't think they gonna live much longer anyways

[vague sparrow]

Oh on the right one it is like my ips you can see the light in the black

[frigid ivy]

Depends on how susceptible you are to flickering

[vague sparrow]

Tbh I dont know never tried oled

[frigid ivy]

Oled have vrr flicker

[vague sparrow]

Honestly it is a shame it is not a bad game at all

[ivory tiger]

[bitter sapphire]

Marathon should have costed 20$

[frigid ivy]

Tarkov and arc raiders have a strangle hold on the extraction genre

[vague sparrow]

I love arc never tried tarkov. Marathon I think the issue is that it is just brutal I dont see how casual could enjoy it

Btw I am casual

[vague sparrow]

True

[frigid ivy]

Tarkov is brutal but a lot of dedicated players

Two of my friends mostly plays the pve tarkov though

[vague sparrow]

Yeah but for bungie/sony I guess they cannot really stay with only dedicated players they need a large audience

[proper vector]

This will be a better comparison

[frigid ivy]

Bungie has burned too many players to earn a huge player base

[bitter sapphire]

Tbh i don’t noticed flickering on my OLED

[vague sparrow]

The oled looks amazing 😎

[ivory tiger]

as free to play it would be better maybe
I am not saying this cuz I don't wanna spend money on it, tho I don't think majority will pay $40 for it

[vague sparrow]

I am going to reveal something I dont know what is flickering

[proper vector]

For me change from IPS was like putting on new pair of glasses

[frigid ivy]

Do you have vrr on?

[bitter sapphire]

yes

[vague sparrow]

I can imagine!

[tepid burrow]

just update the firmware for eyes smh

[obtuse dove]

real lmao

[vague sparrow]

Which model is that?

[frigid ivy]

They all do, but some handle it better then others

[proper vector]

Most of them yeah... but only if you use G-Sync/FreeSync and if framerate is unstable, so they have to adapt to changes in refresh rate quickly

[heady crystal]

XG27AQWMG gang

[bitter sapphire]

[vague sparrow]

Oh I do not use frame generation

I only use upscaling

[proper vector]

Not frame generation, VRR*

[frigid ivy]

Gsync/freesync is vrr

Variable refresh rate

[vague sparrow]

I watch review on monitor unboxed

[proper vector]

[obtuse dove]

Pro Motion is as well!

or wtv apple calls it

I think Apple calls it Pro Motion

[tepid burrow]

didnt notice it ngl

[heady crystal]

ProMotion isn't quite VRR

It just switches between specific refresh rates

[obtuse dove]

fair

but depends on what you define as VRR

[proper vector]

[heady crystal]

The solution to vertical banding is getting a life and playing a game

[obtuse dove]

if you take it literally, it is varying refresh rate, so it is technically VRR.

by that definition

[tepid burrow]

what about horizontal banding?

[obtuse dove]

tbh I havent had any banding on my WOLED panel

[bitter sapphire]

mine cleaned up a lot

[obtuse dove]

yours was bad in the beginning?

[bitter sapphire]

at the first time yes

[heady crystal]

I never even bothered to test mine

I just played games

[obtuse dove]

strange, mine didnt have anything out of the ordinary.

[bitter sapphire]

This is how looks now

[obtuse dove]

although mine is an older gen WOLED

[bitter sapphire]

not the best pics but

yeah mine is nowhere near as bad as that

The issues with marathon is first the difficulty of the game I think they should make it more casual, the maps are too small, and there need to be more maps
I hope the game will improve over time because despite these issues I really think it is a good game, but I would not be surprised if it does not stay around for a long time

[obtuse dove]

and then I use it to test red, green, and blue as well

and pure white

helps avoid seeing things like youtube compression artifacts

[tepid burrow]

Bungie loves catering to casuals sometimes

[obtuse dove]

which could be mistaken for grey bands

[vague sparrow]

Well the game is so hard it is crazy it would not hurt making it more casual just a little bit

[obtuse dove]

@bitter sapphire did you try using something other than a youtube video?

because of youtube compression?

[bitter sapphire]

not really

[vague sparrow]

You have a qoled or a woled?

[obtuse dove]

you should, the youtube video compression artifacts could just be what is showing up and not the actual grey banding of the WOLED itself

[bitter sapphire]

it is W-OLED

but its the 4th gen Tandem version

[vague sparrow]

Oh wow the one everybody want

[bitter sapphire]

https://rog.asus.com/monitors/27-to-31-5-inches/rog-strix-oled-xg27aqwmg/

[vague sparrow]

But on reddit oled gaming there are a lot of post with the bands

[obtuse dove]

yeah, there is 3 different tandem oled technologies though

[heady crystal]

Reddit posts are confirmation bias of bad experiences

For the large part

[obtuse dove]

no actually, just 2

[vague sparrow]

True

[obtuse dove]

Tandem WOLED is just the white pixel emitting layer having an etra blue emitting layer for its white pixels

and then Tandem AMOLED for the mobile devices which is what you see on iPad Pro

[proper vector]

VP9 and AV1 that YouTube now uses excel at encoding a lot of single color, they do it similar to PNG, so artifacts there will be non-existent

But in doubt just use Paint and bucket fill

[obtuse dove]

Yeah, this is what I use to test for burn-in as well

[obtuse dove]

Even on AV1 I still see pretty bad artifacting

[bitter sapphire]

Via paint

[proper vector]

Looks the same

[obtuse dove]

Although I don't have premium so maybe the higher bitrate setting is better.

[obtuse dove]

Ah, yeah mine doesn't have the vertical banding, that's so weird

[bitter sapphire]

The thing is it doesn’t bother me that much

[vague sparrow]

Maybe I will wait for the model you have to come out in 32

[vague sparrow]

If you do not notice it irl you dont care

Like if you have to really test to see it why bothering

[bitter sapphire]

only when im on a dark grey background in the browser or file explorer

[proper vector]

There are WOLEDs and there are QD-OLEDs, both have pros and cons
Pros of QD-OLED is lack of banding and better colors for example, pros of WOLED is that they are really good at keeping contrast and black levels

[round lagoon]

Seems to be okay. Can't see nothing wrong from the product page.

[vague sparrow]

I think I will go for woled

[bitter sapphire]

if it doesnt bother u either what i shown now go for it

[vague sparrow]

Yeah I just wait for a model similar to yours coming in 32

[vague sparrow]

I dont think I would notice it if I did not know what to look for

[bitter sapphire]

there are lines on the screen

[proper vector]

Basically, yeah

[vague sparrow]

I can see but I need to know to notice them

[bitter sapphire]

im the same tho

[vague sparrow]

When gaming I doubt I would see them

[bitter sapphire]

yeah its rare

[abstract warren]

@round lagoon Im starting to feel the added power, think they're running away with the crown for my IEMs, does all the things I liked on top pro, but adds another layer with Sednaearfit ASMRs, a fitting king for the Astrals/Top Pros tuning 🌹

[tulip tide]

anyone here has long term experience with the pulsar xlite crazylight? thinking about going back to my zowie ec2 roots..

[shadow plume]

Tiger ice v2 with qck balance good combo or should I replace qck with the fast mousepad

And is the speed pad qck feel good after long use too

[tulip tide]

i recently bought the qck heavy after using glass for years, it's a great pad

what i'm trying to say, if you are happy with your qck, don't change it

Anyone got suggestions for wireless mice (with option to run with usb-c cable for charging and using while charging) with good working tools for linux ?

I have the logitech G502 X, both piper and solaar are not what i'd expect and it's driving me crazy, then i look at wooting and it's just perfect kind of what i'd want for a mouse with the software, no software needed in background, but all working.

[heady crystal]

Pulsar have a web configuration utility

Corsair does as well for a very small selection of peripherals

I'll look into them and see which suit me

🙂

[heady crystal]

I'm not really familiar with the mouse market though.

Just a Superlight 2 enjoyer 😔

[bitter sapphire]

Lamzu has web config tool
wlmouse has as well

[neon arch]

same, i like my logitech mouse's form, got a ret for my thumb, i've got artheritis so a small mouse is not always good, but configuration is also important, hell even fractal made it easy to manage the case rgb and fans under linux

[weak sage]

definitly all depends on the pricing. glass pads are quite expensive, some cloth are cheap to expensive.

[lunar holly]

lowkey debating if i want to get the carnage sora

might buy it then sell my white sp004

[lunar holly]

the Quantum edition pads (2nd post) are $64
Wallhacks limited edition runs should be $130-140 im guessing

[silver topaz]

My poor surface pro 8 is on its way out. Laptop recommendations? By no means do I need a over the top graphics card, mainly just a decent CPU for medical programs.

I do not want a MacBook though lol

[winged pewter]

why not

[twilit flame]

You know what this means

@rain gale laptop news?

[rain gale]

[silver topaz]

Solid 50% of my programs are windows mainly

[obtuse dove]

those kinds of programs tend to be windows specific

[obtuse dove]

also, kinda need a budget

lemme guess, this is for med school?

or pre-med?

or both?

[silver topaz]

It's weird lol. We're just gonna call it pre-med

[silver topaz]

Id like to stay around 2000

I was looking into those framework laptops, but not really sure about the quality

[rain gale]

avoid

idea is neat, quality and value isn't

[silver topaz]

I was wondering if that was the case

[rain gale]

with 2000 you can look for prettty good new ones, core ultra 300 series are what you should probably look for

[obtuse dove]

just curious, does your medical institution post any recommended minimum specs for PC systems?

it should be somewhere

usually for your specific program/degree

you dont need to tell me what school, just the recommended specs that they provide

[viscid bison]

Carnage but kinda wish it was on the CR surface, hbu?

[silver topaz]

Oh yeah let me find it

[obtuse dove]

[lunar holly]

tempt me right now prospa

[viscid bison]

if ur an adrenaline junkie who can type 150wpm and beat noobs, filling out payment details for limited drops - then go for it

[silver topaz]

Minimum specs I'm seeing at 12th gen i5 and 16gb of ram. But honestly I'm mainly looking for the best bang for my buck because this will also be replacing my surface as my main laptop

[rain gale]

you can probably find some model with a core ultra 7 355 around 2k that would likely be the best option

[silver topaz]

I was looking at dells xps 14 with the 355 and a oled screen. Looks to be about almost 1800

Damn California tax

[obtuse dove]

try to get smth with the X in front of it

because you get the better iGPU

also generally Dell OLED displays are calibrated very well, which is pretty important for a lot of medical imaging stuff

but yeah its right around 1900 bucks for the Ultra X7 358H with 32gb of RAM and 1tb ssd

before tax

[silver topaz]

Yep may just end up with that one then

I use the pulsar sleeve with a zero and I find it a pleasant experience

Screw that guys arbitrary list (respectfully of course)

[patent patrol]

hell nahh

[rain turret]

@elfin kayak these savages opened the orange one

[frozen patio]

How'd you like it? Decent or shite?

[rain turret]

I don't have it yet, it just arrived at the warehouse today

[frozen patio]

Keen to know how the included mouse pad is an all. Don't suppose it's gonna be ground breaking but I'm gonna cut it up so it fits on my desk mount + spares

[rain turret]

It's an interesting collector type kit either way, and the mouse is their new supposed flagship with a lot of nice features, internals top notch aswell. Will be nice to try.
