Fractional scaling is also added to Gnome 45
Released two days ago ahah

#

Only on Wayland though cause yeah

thick elk
#

Honestly I think that one you linked and I am quite likely to buy would be fine with 2x integer scaling anyway.

wheat plume
#

1440p

#

Damn
Wish it was OLED but oh well

thick elk
#

also it can integer scale a gba perfectly without black bars

#

not that I care

wheat plume
#

Ooo????

thick elk
#

gba is 240x160 this is 2160x1440 which is 9x in both directions

wheat plume
#

Oh, the Librem 11 tablet uses Intel N5100 CPU

#

hhmmmmmmmm still not good for $999

astral haven
#

N200 on new surface go

#

Imma guess 4GB ram too and 64GB eMMC Storage...

astral haven
#

8gb 128gb base model now
Unknown price probably 600

Isnt Studio their massive touchscreen desktop AIO that can angle the screen at most angles?

astral haven
#

Laptop studio

wheat plume
#

oh

steep creek
astral haven
#

(Desktop) studio is 4.5k

#

Strange
You sure?

steep creek
#

Yes 28990 nok is about 2690 usd

astral haven
#

Oh

#

So it's. It not 2690 usd
It's 2700ish worth of your currency

steep creek
#

Probably right, mine said 2690 but close enough haha

astral haven
#

Gotta keep in mind that USD prices do not include taxes. So when you're comparing, you might want to make sure that you are actually paying or not paying for taxes when you say the price to compare to the US price.

steep creek
#

Ah that’s true I forgot to include those. I need to figure out how much the taxes are

astral haven
#

I would pay over 2180 here in the us

#

Only Oregonians? Would only pay 2k

steep creek
#

Hm pretty nice, could almost go to another state and pick it up if it was close by lol

astral haven
#

Can be worth even if it is far

steep creek
#

Yeah I’d imagine

#

Taxes here are included, only thing is when importing stuff, I would have to pay import duties on the product

astral haven
#

And most likely, since they are giving you a native price, they probably already paid for the import duties.

steep creek
#

They do, it’s included in the price. Most of the companies do

#

Just companies like wooting and such which do not operate from here, I have to pay duties on sometime later

but im in the process of discovering the humor of the turkish import duties

astral haven
#

had mine for 2 years now, been maining it at work for most of a year since at home my logitech wireless charging pad causes it to have problems

hollow vortex
#

how is the overall experience

astral haven
#

excellent unless you put it on top of a wireless charging pad

hollow vortex
#

well no plans on doing that

astral haven
#

then its just excellent

#

fantastic for use at work, being able to configure it from a website means you can use it even on a locked down computer

hollow vortex
#

ooh

#

that's pretty neat

#

i think ill ask someone to proxy the keyboard to me from somewhere in eu honestly, doesn't seem like a reliable option to pay duties for it

So much crap that is nigh unsellable.

Thought that’s a mr beast video for a moment

reef patrol
#

Might as well be given the theme.

cursive summit
#

Wait this is absolutely insane

#

It completely bypasses the need to film anything or boot up premiere or davinci, or aftereffects

cursive summit

I have very mixed feelings about this

#

I hope that long-form content continues to exist

reef patrol

Considering how shit shorts are... yeah.

#

YT's shorts system is so bad it keeps breaking down if you use it for more than a few minutes on desktop.

There isn't really much to upgrade it with

#

Damn what an internet explorer moment

#

They said the same thing months ago if not last year already lol

cursive summit
#

And from what it looks like there seems to a brewing aftermarket panel replacement/upgrade ecosystem which is pretty cool

#

Saw some FHD screen upgrade for 99$ or so

#

Might get an OLED one at some point too

Could legit have a handheld that could emulate switch 2 on release with better performance lmfao

And how do you cool that

#

he mentions this video in his

#

TLDR: Crinnacle likes the way it sounds, but the air filter system is stupid and useless and dangerous

#

he could have made this rhyme but he decided not to.....

cursive summit
fair gull
#

i watched both and i do like mkbhd more on the topic

#

straight to the point and educational

old marlin
#

I mean the crinacle video is more about the audio part of it

#

and he himself says that for the other features other videos are gonna be better

#

specifically pointing to the mkbhd one

Didn't notice until too late for a meme in the trip meter

#

It's no brand new car lel

steep creek
#

ah nevermind it looked so much like the old leafs display to me lol

astral haven
#

I'm saying you are correct. I thought you knew that I had a leaf.

steep creek
#

yap i am too unfocused right now lol

#

sweet car

pale sigil
#

You have an electric?

#

Ohhh Nissan leaf

#

I was confused

astral haven
astral haven

I was wondering if was a hybrid originally

#

I don't know much about cars

astral haven
steep creek
#

Ah yes that one looks really cool, excited for it

astral haven
#

i was dang close to buying a rav4 ev tho

#

but it was double the price for barely any improvement

steep creek
#

Oh yes that one never sold that much i think

astral haven
#

it was actually never sold at all
only leased

vagrant pagoda
#

after all the news of them falling behind

steep creek
#

I’ve seen a few of them here but they are so rare

vagrant pagoda
#

they dont make many is the issue

astral haven
vagrant pagoda
#

they pushed so hard to get them to market

#

they dont have the supply

astral haven
#

and their wheels are falling off

vagrant pagoda
#

imo they make the best hybrids and ev that arent a f150

astral haven
#

and their batteries are slow

astral haven
#

the bz4x is such trash lmao

#

i test drove it when i was shopping for a car and it felt so much like a gas car

steep creek
#

Yeah I never liked that one

vagrant pagoda
#

i mean like plugin and non hypirds

#

no full ev

astral haven
#

sure

#

but screw maintenance

vagrant pagoda
#

its a toyota

#

maintenance is very low

astral haven
#

not ev low

vagrant pagoda
#

unles you factory battery over miles

astral haven
#

ion
anything that contains gas is guaranteed to have needed maintenance

vagrant pagoda
#

also toyota is free maintance on all cars for 2 years

steep creek
#

Probably an isolated case but the Prius we once had was plagued with issues, was in and out of the workshop too many times

#

We ended up selling it on a loss

vagrant pagoda
#

for hybrids

#

also i stand by the f150 absolutly killing it for hydrid and ev though

astral haven
#

my parents prius was pretty good, but still oil, gas stations

steep creek
#

As for the two leafs, they’ve never needed any sort of repairs. Just normal maintenance

astral haven
vagrant pagoda
#

have you sued one?

astral haven
#

nah, just did a tour of the interior

#

and did the math

#

like if i were to buy a truck it would be the top out of 2 options

vagrant pagoda
#

like an actual hybrid

#

not the normal one

astral haven
#

no, the lightning

#

hybrid is useless

vagrant pagoda
#

they are coming with a plugin 150 next year

#

50 miles of range

astral haven
#

maybe for some people, but again as a car?

#

i am aware that it trucks good

vagrant pagoda
#

and the normal hybird is way better than the specs are

#

my buddy went from a 16 2.4 to a 23 hybird

#

and legit doubled the mpg for city

#

in actual use

astral haven
#

sure

vagrant pagoda
#

he is pissed they just annouced the plugin

astral haven
#

but i get 10000000x more distance between having to go gas stations

vagrant pagoda
#

he will prob trade in

#

yeah but truck

astral haven
#

it requires me to go 20 seconds out of my way to fuel up my car

#

"fuel"

#

a gas stop would be at least 10 minutes assuminmg it was on my path

vagrant pagoda
#

i mean

#

i just get gas when i goto the store once a week or two

astral haven
#

and the aptera will require me to go out of my way none of the time for my commute

vagrant pagoda
#

i get >500 miles to a tank

#

i never get low

astral haven
#

and i never have to go to a store to pay for fuel

vagrant pagoda
#

you gotta buy food though

astral haven
#

there is zero chance of my fuel being unavailable

vagrant pagoda
#

its same parking lot XD

#

youve never had a power outage?

#

must be nice

astral haven
#

Solar fam

steep creek
#

just the cost and convinience for me hah. charging in the garage for cheap, fuel is about 100 ish usd per tank, sometimes more sometimes less

vagrant pagoda
#

but also thats why his pissed about the pih

vagrant pagoda
#

for hurricanes the plugin would be king

#

i hope the bring the grid tie from the lightning

astral haven
#

my commute cost $4 in gas and 25c in electricity per day

steep creek
#

1 liter i believe is 0.26 gallons. cost usually varies from 19-25 nok per liter

astral haven
#

yea here in the us gas is heavily subsidized

vagrant pagoda
#

Everything is heavily subsidized

#

Expect rent

steep creek
#

yep, here its just evs

astral haven
#

even more than the military

vagrant pagoda
#

Corn

#

But I guess that counts as fuel

#

But most cash crops are insane subsidized

astral haven
#

the corn that goes into fuel counts as gas subsidies, the corn that doesnt doesnt

astral haven
vagrant pagoda
#

And even more so if you count import tax in foreign grains

astral haven
#

ion
over 5% of the US gdp is gas subsidies

#

its beyond critical to our economy

#

but its also a huge liability

vagrant pagoda
#

Did you look at what they include in thst

astral haven
#

everything ofc

#

but you gotta understand that its still directly responsible for lowered gas prices

vagrant pagoda
#

It literally isnt

astral haven
#

well yes by definition it is, because thats what they count

vagrant pagoda
#

As it includes indirect subsidies like powerplant improvements and Superfund sites

astral haven
#

of fossil fuel plants

vagrant pagoda
#

to use less fuel

astral haven
#

which is money the taxpayer is paying to use fossil fuels

#

that money could instead go to solar and pumping stations

#

if we could pause the economy for a year, and take all the subsidies and turn it into local renewable generation, we would at the end of the year have double the jobs, which would be higher paying and most of them would be significantly less dangerous in the energy industry for around 80% of the cost

#

the problem is of we quit cold turkey, the shock would put us into a depression so bad it would make the great recession look like an accounting error

vagrant pagoda
astral haven
#

🤷 best estimates are 21 trillion to electrify the world optimistically

vagrant pagoda
#

not how that works

#

you gotta make the products

astral haven
#

yes?

#

trillion not billion

astral haven
vagrant pagoda
#

yeah

#

it would cost 10 times that to do in a year if not more

astral haven
#

to do what exactly

vagrant pagoda
#

do all those improvements

#

the parts arent sitting on a shelf

astral haven
#

what improvements

vagrant pagoda
#

"turn it into local renewable generation"

astral haven
#

turn what into renewable generation

#

you didnt read what i wrote fam lmao

#

to turn the subsidies into local generation would cost exactly as much as the subsidies

vagrant pagoda
#

how do you plan on doing local generation

astral haven
#

solar + pumped hydro

vagrant pagoda
#

and you have that stting in your basement?

astral haven
#

well yes but thats not the point you are trying to make lel

#

think for a second dude

vagrant pagoda
#

to make that happen

#

needs parts

#

that dont exist

#

you think they will all get made in a year

astral haven
#

yea thats not true at all

#

something like 60% of the worlds solar capacity is sitting around doing nothing thanks to being installed too far from civilization

#

heck you probably would only need to spend money on parts for the pumping stations, and shipping for the solar

ashen spindle
#

nah I feel like 60% of the worlds solar is on german roofs waiting for bureaucracy to allow enabling that in some years maybe

astral haven
#

yea so like being installed in germany instead of a civilized location

#

/s

ashen spindle
#

only half a /s needed sadly

astral haven
#

also its a problem in the us as well

#

mostly for larger installations

#

because the installations have to pay for the grid upgrades that the fossil fuel incremental upgrades didnt have to pay for

ashen spindle
#

oh if it was only that

astral haven
#

its basically only that here

ashen spindle
#

yeah I meant here

astral haven
#

yea
besides going back to coal thanks to shutting down the reactors and relying on lng, im pretty sure that at least percentage wise, germany isnt subsidizing fossil fuels as hard at least officially

ashen spindle
#

if we would not subsidize them they would not make a profit lol

astral haven
#

sure but the us spends more on fossil fuels than the revenues of all the fossil fuel companies combined

ashen spindle
#

its just the painful way of 16 years of a government leanign very much in the industires pockets and now a split government that cant spend enough moeny to fix it

#

yeah not as much for fuel as you do

#

as sad as it is, this part of a german satire show shows it best, the 5 minutes from the timestamp (has english subtitles) https://youtu.be/YEaE8pRdblw?t=303

wow its really hard to say something polite about that

ashen spindle
#

did you also see the second segment about how many people they employ just to get stuff sorted?

astral haven
#

no?
also the english captions are autogenerated and pretty awful

ashen spindle
#

also yeah it's painful but showing it only via a satire show means I can pretend its not that bad (it is that bad)

smoky frigate
#

current government doesn't inspire team spirit, which is what people want but nobody knows how to achieve at the moment

ashen spindle
#

it only was a bad idea due to lack of enough transition money spend to build up the rest

#

we could have been so much deeper in solar and wind and all

#

but we didnt do that so the shutdowns hurt more

smoky frigate
#

whether renewable energy is feasible to that degree is a whole other discussion, but basically we didn't do anything yeah lol

ashen spindle
#

well we have studies that show it basically was, if we had done what was promised to build out the grid lol

#

which just makes it so much more depressing

astral haven
smoky frigate
#

what do you mean! sunbathing in 30° at the end of september has always been done!!! also I eat paste

smoky frigate
#

or financial ones

ashen spindle
#

coal and co have lot of money to somehow get to cdu and co

smoky frigate
#

probably, since it's also one of the few natual resources we actually have and can turn into money

ashen spindle
#

we are about 4400km of high voltage behind the planned lines lol

#

which would make it easier to add more places to generate and store

#

it's the same bad comedy as with DB, how much funding they get vs the autobahn... it's just sad

smoky frigate
#

needless to say, we are now getting stung by the consequences of our negligence

ashen spindle

wait you're telling me actions have consquences?

smoky frigate
#

for my part, I was in france during that time, so don't blame me 😛

astral haven
ashen spindle
#

I meaaaan, france is by far our heaviest importer of electricites, about as much as all nuclear generated the last years 😛

#

so I could kinda blame you xD

smoky frigate
#

I lived right next to a nuclear power plant in france and it was a most glorious sight for me

#

electricity was also fucking cheap

#

(mainly because I never paid it)

ashen spindle
astral haven

well at least here in the us, im definetly not importing power from germany lel

smoky frigate

but why wouldn't anyone buy our planet-incinerating power!!

we should be burning the sun instead

astral haven

just get some solar Panels + batteries

there was that satellite proposal to beam solar power down to earth, and they were actually testing it for drone use

just design wise

empty wren

Always been phablet fat as well

#

pixel 1st gen was slimmer

#

But all other phones were fat

#

One way to make it less fat is curved screen or very curved edges

#

Look at apples

#

Even more a joke

#

And the result of people recording the new colors at home looks even more like a joke

Well can be a good thing, they usually gave a special color each time though

Need a wireless mouse

  • Dongle so I dont have to constantly pair it to whatever its plugged into
  • Onboard storage for any settings I change
  • 2 side buttons to use with thumb
  • Not super expensive
  • Software should hopefully have a Linux build or configurable someway in Linux
#

Why the skull emotes?

#

oh, they removed comment

#

superlight is Logitech?

#

i dont make assumptions here xd unless I am told by the person

astral haven
#

the logitech superlight is pretty good, i like it

wheat plume
#

Pulsar's marketing LOL WTF

#

Higher Hump, Narrower Waist

rough osprey
wheat plume
#

are any of these compatible with Piper?

#

its a mouse config app for Linux

astral haven
#

if you want a super budget low latency wireless mouse, the g305 is awesome
unsure about logitech in linux but im pretty sure there are open source configs (and its got onboard storage)

wheat plume
#

I only need the software for setting up the side buttons

#

I use those for media playback

astral haven
#

yea its a 1 time config

wheat plume
#

hmmm I need to see what mice Piper can work with

astral haven
#

i havent had the logitech software on my computer in the past year and a half (since i bought the superlight)

wheat plume
#

same for my Roccat mouse xd

astral haven
#

googling piper g305 comes up with a ton of issues

#

same with superlight

wheat plume
#

aha, here is list

astral haven
#

the zaunkoenig wont have any issues being configged in linux

#

but it also wont have any side buttons probably

wheat plume
#

aayyy

astral haven
#

and g305

wheat plume
#

o??

astral haven
#

no pulsar

wheat plume
#

oo got nice colors too for the g305

astral haven
#

be aware its not a very good shape for gamin

wheat plume
#

I dont want this for gaming

astral haven
#

for not gaming you might want to consider the mx anywhere series

wheat plume
#

oh?

astral haven
#

2 and 3 are supported by that list

wheat plume
#

whats better about that for not gaming?

astral haven
#

fantastic tracking on uneven surfaces, no dongle needed

#

heavier, smaller

wheat plume
#

Id prefer a dongle like I said

#

just to be able to plug and play

astral haven
#

dongle optional i mean

wheat plume
#

aahhh, okk

astral haven
#

its bluetooth capable

#

unlike the gamings besides the razer

wheat plume
#

bluetooth is annoying if you use the mouse on more than one device

astral haven
#

and actually you might want to look at the razers since you cant get trojaned by them

astral haven
astral haven
#

the windows razer drivers act like a trojan

#

bootstrapping the installation of their bloatware automatically

wheat plume
#

then why would I look at Razer ? :')

astral haven
#

because they make great hardware, and linux is immune to that

wheat plume
#

and yesh....it happens constantly with my speakers on Windows, the synapse installer keeps getting popped up anytime I plug them into the computer

#

well, anytime I plug them into the computer while booted into Windows*

astral haven
#

ah rip nvm then

#

the athena is pretty sweet imo

#

atheris

#

athena???

wheat plume
#

Libratbag says g503 but im looking at the g503 Lightspeed, are those different models?

astral haven
#

g305

wheat plume
#

so superlight is not part of the name?

astral haven
#

503 is much more expensive

#

lightspeed is wireless

wheat plume
#

so these are the same devices?

astral haven
#

yes

wheat plume
#

ok!

#

O.o they have a KD/A color scheme, hek yeah

astral haven
#

g304 and g303 i believe are also identical hardware?

wheat plume
#

I love this...

astral haven
#

yea its all 2.4ghz

wheat plume
#

g503 can use USB Dongle?

astral haven
#

only the wireless version

steep creek
#

i believe the dongle is only for the 2.4ghz models

wheat plume
#

uh

astral haven
#

all wireless logitech is 2.4
all wireless logitech g is dongle

wheat plume
#

seems to be no slot on the mouse to store the dongle

astral haven
#

yay dect

steep creek
#

is it made out of bakelite though 😁

astral haven
wheat plume
#

then I must be looking at the wrong g305

astral haven
#

its in the battery compartment

wheat plume
#

ooo...wack

#

ok

#

idk why I thought it would be rechargable

astral haven
#

if you want it rechargeable, you gotta provide your own rechargeable batteries

wheat plume
#

yep

astral haven
#

in the days when i dalied it, i ran through 2 disposable lithium batteries in a year

wheat plume
#

O.o

#

it lasts that long

#

damn

astral haven
#

you do have to be religious about turning it off to last that long

wheat plume
#

yeah I bet xd

#

the only other wireless device I have that uses Dongle is my controller, but I dont need to turn it off manually since it turns off on its own when placed back in the dock

#

yeh I saw the button earlier xd

astral haven
#

yea and the logitech doesnt drain battery that fast when its not moving

rough osprey
#

stock skates probably trash tho

astral haven
#

reread convo

#

but also its shockingly good at least with aa lithiums

#

balance with alcalines is pretty awful

#

$80 vs $40 tho

fickle ore
#

ulx

astral haven
wheat plume
#

there is a chance the tech store near me has the g305 but probably not either, its on the website for the shop brand but idk about the specific shop location having it

rough osprey
#

is the browser stuff not universal?

pale sigil
#

G305 is awesome

#

Just too small for me

astral haven
#

doubt

#

its shockingly large

pale sigil
#

But if I was travelling she didn't have a spare g703 I'd get a g305

astral haven
#

similar story with the mx anywhere

pale sigil
#

Wdym doubt

astral haven
#

both are designed for biiig hands

wheat plume
# rough osprey is the browser stuff not universal?

Typically websites in Ireland for Irish stores only show the stock on the product page for the main store in Dublin
and if stores in other locations around Ireland dont have a product, they order it down from the Dublin shop and you come back a few days later to collect it

pale sigil
#

Wanna see my bloody return!

rough osprey
pale sigil
#

It was to smol

astral haven
wheat plume
#

aww, Logitechs website is having a sale on the mouse but the local shop isnt ;-;

#

maybe I can show them the sale and get a price match???

pale sigil
#

Can try

wheat plume
#

ooo thats nice

astral haven
fickle ore
pale sigil
#

Finally someone else is doing web shit

astral haven
#

aaaah

wheat plume
#

ok, web shit is great <3

#

are finalmouse mice good though?

pale sigil
#

Overpriced

astral haven
#

^

wheat plume
#

oh

astral haven
#

and build isnt fantastic

fickle ore
#

Well not really, they're quite cheap actually for what you get imo

#

189$ for a cf composite build

astral haven
#

its not very small...

pale sigil
#

Shit lol

#

That's awesome

#

I can print one for you in Dec!

wheat plume
#

the local website is selling the Lilac G305 for 20 euro more than the Black model
🤦‍♀️ FUCK YOU LOCAL STORE

pale sigil
#

Lilac?

wheat plume
#

purple

#

porpl tax .-.

#

ffs

#

i hate it thanks

pale sigil
#

@astral haven it's small

fickle ore
#

qc bad

pale sigil
#

@prisma crag is there any 3d shit for g703

astral haven
#

interesting
maybe if FM stops bssing and starts mass producing, and they do it before Zaunkoenig

astral haven
#

my hands are too small to use it comfortably 😦

fickle ore
#

Honestly web software is so good

#

love it

astral haven
fickle ore
#

what do you mean?

astral haven
#

oh i missed the reply oops

fickle ore
#

Ah

astral haven
#

meant to reply to this

rough osprey
astral haven
#

plenty of options of those, check reviews ofc

astral haven
#

🤮

rough osprey
astral haven
#

?????

pale sigil
#

I had the Corsair glaive once

rough osprey
#

who else is that light and has 8khz

pale sigil
#

Idk how I used it

wheat plume
#

whats the top button behind scroll for?

astral haven
pale sigil
astral haven
pale sigil
#

You can remap though

rough osprey
#

its a feature tho

astral haven
wheat plume
pale sigil
#

Is g305 still not supported by lghub?

astral haven
#

dont think so?

#

but ghub still not great

pale sigil
#

For a good while you needed the ancient software

astral haven
#

LGS is a much easier to use peice of software

fickle ore
#

I dont reallly care for the 8khz wireless. I prob will play with 4khz or 1khz mostly but the 33~g medium shape weight if true is beyond good lol

pale sigil
#

I don't get the hate with lghub

fickle ore
#

full size body 33g w_t_f

pale sigil
#

I like it

#

Simple, clean and easy.

astral haven
#

I like it too, but its significantly slower to set up than LGS

rough osprey
#

even then only real weight competitor is gwolves at same price

#

and not full size

pale sigil
#

What's lgs

#

Forgot

astral haven
#

the old software

fickle ore
astral haven
#

Logitech Gaming Software I think?

pale sigil
#

Oh ye it was alright but I hated it

fickle ore
#

but like you said, no competition atm

astral haven
#

it was so quick to get out of the way

pale sigil
#

No... just need to change the priority on bootup

#

Idk if the mean bootup or general

#

Because it's deffo on the slower side for bootup vs others tbh

#

But not slow enough for me to care

astral haven
#

the other problem i have is how unintuitive it is to save a profile to the mouse

rough osprey
#

and still 10g heavier

#

(if you can trust fm)

pale sigil
#

I wish backing up and exporting profiles was more simple

fickle ore
#

wait that is wrong link

rough osprey
#

ace isnt 4k

pale sigil
#

Rather than appdating shit

fickle ore
rough osprey
#

ye

fickle ore
#

no just invest in spy500 instead

rough osprey
#

4k ye

astral haven
#

you notice it by your game lagging to death

rough osprey
#

haven't tried 8k yet

astral haven
#

unless its a short list of supported games

fickle ore
astral haven
#

ow2 only renders at 600fps max, over that shouldnt help substantially

#

folks on google are complaining about 8 and 4khz

pale sigil
#

Id like a GPU that renders ow2 at 600fps

fickle ore
astral haven
rough osprey
#

ow needs good cpu and ram

astral haven
#

im talking like osu

#

one of the only games that could theoretically benefit from 8k

fickle ore
astral haven
#

and uh
it lags hardcore if you move the mouse around

#

even at 1khz if you have a slow enough system

fickle ore
#

Ill try Osu for you when my ulx arrives on my windows 11 system that is patched

#

😛

#

in couple weeks

astral haven
#

i have a zaunkoenig, if i cared enough to find out I would just run it

fickle ore
#

Ah

wheat plume
#

.....wait wait
Does the g305 have onboard storage???

pale sigil
#

All of them do

#

But you can store basic shit

#

And a single profile

#

All mice are like this really

#

Well most

wheat plume
#

If I change what the side buttons and dpi button do, that will be stored onboard???

astral haven
#

yes

wheat plume
#

What

astral haven
#

by default yes

#

its LGS not g hub

wheat plume
#

Mixed messages

astral haven
#

new software for new mice is jank

pale sigil
#

I'm assuming using lghub

#

You toggle on board

wheat plume
#

No
I'll be using Piper

astral haven
#

🤷 that youll have to research

#

but with the logitech gaming software, its stored onboard

wheat plume
#

Ooookkkk

astral haven
#

logitech swapped softwares recentlyish

pale sigil
#

Piper saves to memory

#

If you tell it too

#

But it uses profiles like lghub

#

I had to boot into Windows to change my onboard xd

#

The issue with Piper and Linux is they are different no matter what, it's annoying.

wheat plume
#

Idk why Piper wouldn't save to memory
Cause Piper itself can't run in the background

pale sigil
#

As I said you can tell it too, like wootility

#

Click save

#

Oh ok ignore me

#

G305 has 5 profiles

wheat plume
#

Oo

pale sigil
#

So ye Piper saves them all.

#

Has more than my mouse! Xd

astral haven
#

my favorite logitech feature is shift

#

its basically a modifier key for just the mouse

pale sigil
#

Never fully understood that

wheat plume
#

99g weight

Idek the weight of my current mouse but it's a heavy bastard

pale sigil
#

How does it work

pale sigil
#

Using one battery with tinfoil

wheat plume
#

Idk if I want it lighter

astral haven
#

imagine you have a button dedicated to changing profiles, except it swaps back once you let go

wheat plume
#

I'm used to a heavy mouse

astral haven
#

so like you would hit ctrl c to copy

pale sigil
#

Shit, that's something I've wanted for so long.

astral haven
#

except its shift right click to pause or something

pale sigil
#

Wait wait

wheat plume
#

I could have just read this ....

#

1 onboard profile

pale sigil
#

So you're saying I could shift dpi to use a macro???

astral haven
#

dunno if it supports macros

pale sigil
astral haven
#

but it can do basic key combos

wheat plume
pale sigil
#

My Google result lied to me

#

It's one as I thought I guess

wheat plume
#

4???

astral haven
#

g305,4,3 are the same pcb for different regions

wheat plume
#

Ooohhh wtf

astral haven
#

g304 is indistinguishable from g305 tho

wheat plume
#

So g305 = g304 + dongle?

astral haven
#

nope

wheat plume
#

...

astral haven
#

exactly identical

wheat plume
#

Oh

pale sigil
#

I bought a German version for £15 less when I got mine PepeLaughZoom

wheat plume
#

Is it like how Xiaomi call some of their phones different mobile names depending on what region?

pale sigil
#

The only difference was the box

astral haven
#

something like that yea except without even changing the default language and rom

pale sigil
#

Lana

wheat plume
#

Ooopp

pale sigil
#

Get it

#

Just get it

#

I have 2 g703s

#

10/10 can recommend as you'll need to rma it a year later anyway.

wheat plume
#

I so want the KD/A one but I can't justify spending an extra 20 euro for it

pale sigil
# wheat plume ?

Logitech mice are notorious for double clicks, Logitech just gave me a new one without asking for the old one.

#

Fixed the old one and now it's my travel one.

wheat plume
pale sigil
#

Fffuccck

wheat plume
#

Time to cancel order .-.

pale sigil
#

Actually I kinda hate it

#

Nono don't

wheat plume
#

Why ??

pale sigil
#

Tbh I think it's their higher end nice that do.

rough osprey
#

no optical g305 yet

pale sigil
#

My friend has had his g305 since 2019

astral haven
#

the doublclicking is pretty fantastic, you get a second mouse and you can hit the first with some compressed air every few weeks if you want to keep it working

#

and then you have 2 mice

wheat plume
#

My roccat mouse I had for nearly 10 years by now is starting to double click ;_;

astral haven
#

never happened to mine tho

wheat plume
#

10 years though

#

Not bad

pale sigil
#

If it doesn't double click before warranty you're fine.

#

Most double clicks tend to happen during warranty.

wheat plume
#

With my luck it'll be one day after warranty

#

Like with the dead pixel on my monitor

pale sigil
#

Doesn't matter

#

Easy to fix but they'll probably replace.

#

Ik someone who did it a year out of warranty

#

Logitech literally doesn't give a shit.

wheat plume
pale sigil
#

No

#

Logitech literally don't care

astral haven
#

logitech is one of the better companies for warranty

wheat plume
#

Oh my

pale sigil
#

I have 2 G703s hahahahha

astral haven
#

not evga level but not bad at all

#

fkn evga actually giving you a better product if yours dies

pale sigil
#

That doesn't always happen

#

They'll give you the equivalent or next possible

astral haven
#

yea it only happens after they drop the previous gen

wheat plume
#

How do they verify that your mouse is faulty if they don't ask for it back?

pale sigil
#

They gave me an updated PSU

pale sigil
#

Don't

#

Care

#

They are pennies to make

wheat plume
#

So you could send a false report and just get a second mouse????
That don't seem right

pale sigil
#

Probably

#

They didn't ask me for proof

astral haven
#

do you want a second mouse tho?

wheat plume
#

N

#

No

astral haven
#

and if you do it more than once or twice they may complain

#

also pretty sure they ask for POP

pale sigil
#

Pop yes

astral haven
#

yea so no buying a busted mouse on ebay and rmaing it

pale sigil
#

They also don't count Amazon warehouse 😦

wheat plume
#

POP?

astral haven
#

proof of purchase

wheat plume
#

well yeah, id expect that part at least

pale sigil
#

My G403 got borked, not double click but the click was funky.

astral haven
pale sigil
#

Said I can't claim warranty due to being an Amazon warehouse order.

#

It was sold by Amazon

astral haven
#

yeaik

#

but amazon whs is a different division

wheat plume
#

I ordered direct from the Logitech Europe site

pale sigil
#

Either way I got my g403 for £22

astral haven
#

but my camera was bought on amazon through a third party reseller as broken
$60 for a $200 camera for just a busted lcd which i replaced for $15

pale sigil
#

Was chuffed, I said there was a skin oil stain and they said I'll refund XYZ

wheat plume
#

Seems this one uses GHub

pale sigil
#

Old pic but having kept my old g703 was nice

#

Hahaha

wheat plume
#

idk anything about their software

pale sigil
#

I have some Kali switches in my draw for mice

#

But I don't wanna touch shit till warranty runs out

#

Also want to upgrade my battery.

#

but tjen i got this bad boy from AliExpress

wheat plume
#

Is this compatible with the Powerplay mouse mat??

pale sigil
#

£9!

#

Has 2 USB ports on the back

astral haven
#

no 😦

pale sigil
#

USB 3

wheat plume
#

IDK how it could be cause it is battery powered

pale sigil
#

It's battery powered

wheat plume
#

hhmmm ok...

astral haven
#

gotta get the g pro if you want that

pale sigil
#

No?

astral haven
#

the original g pro might be interesting for you

pale sigil
#

No?

astral haven
#

should be cheap now

pale sigil
#

Loads of nice support the power play mousepad

astral haven
#

sure but the og gpw should now be the cheapest?

pale sigil
#

Also Lana you won't need to worry about battery

#

I wish I could use physical batteries haha

wheat plume
#

Seems the cheapest PowerPlay supported mouse is G703 and that is 80 euro , so no thanks

pale sigil
#

Soooooooo much better than the fucking shite batteries inside 703 etc

wheat plume
astral haven
#

dang, the gpw is still $80 here

#

it was already $80 over a year ago 😦

#

would have thought it would get cheaper

pale sigil
#

People find creative ways

astral haven
#

personally prefer to just use the lithium AAs

wheat plume
#

o.o

astral haven
#

the aaas were a bit janky weight distribution

pale sigil
#

Honestly Lana

wheat plume
#

yo

pale sigil
#

G305 is fantastic

#

Especially as an entry wireless mouse

wheat plume
#

you got me worried about the double clicking

#

said yours started real fast

pale sigil
#

in warranty

#

If it doesn't happen quickly it won't happen for a longgggggg time

astral haven
#

yea its not like the fly by night companies
logitech is a huge company that honors warranty well

young pecan
#

Unbeatable value, ngl.

pale sigil
#

Also g703 $80!

#

Sheesh

astral haven
#

and logitech makes a huge ton of bs
currently typing to yall on a logitech display

young pecan
#

What's the deal with the G703? Why does everyone love it so much?

astral haven
#

one of the earliest good wireless mice afaik?

pale sigil
#

Because it's the 403 wireless

#

And feels incredible

#

I got mine for £39.99

celest thorn
#

I have this random havit mouse

young pecan
pale sigil
#

It's a fantastic mouse for a good price

#

And G403 was extremely loved

#

And not everyone can justify $80 for a mouse

young pecan
#

I've used it before. Like ignoring the cable it's eh. For whatever reason the G Pro felt nicer.

celest thorn
pale sigil
#

Cable?

celest thorn
#

Its aight

pale sigil
#

703 is wireless

young pecan
#

The 403.

pale sigil
#

Hence 703 being popular

celest thorn
pale sigil
#

Because yanno 403 wireless foool

young pecan
#

No but even ignoring the cable being there something felt off.

#

No clue what.

pale sigil
#

Mice are personal

young pecan
#

Like is it heavier or smth?

pale sigil
#

403 was heavy

#

Also had a lower sensor

#

Irrc

celest thorn
#

I want a better mouse but i need a gazillion buttons on the side and all the ones that have that are kinda expensive

young pecan
#

Ah. That might be it.

wheat plume
#

The only wireless mouse I've used so far is this really shit 10 euro one that is so inaccurate my laptop touchpad is much easier to deal with

celest thorn
#

Lmao

pale sigil
#

Haha

#

Lana

#

Pls

wheat plume
#

Shit mouse go zoom

young pecan
#

I use a Lightspeed atm and it's good. Not a whole lot better than a G Pro but my last one broke so lmao.

pale sigil
#

I can't go back to wired

#

It's to painful

young pecan
#

Yep.

pale sigil
#

Id have a wireless keyboard if I could

#

But calder etc are perfectionists

young pecan
#

As much as I love my Zmouse I'd commit multiple felonies or war crimes for it to be wireless.

wheat plume
#

Wireless would defeat the purpose of Wooting xf

celest thorn
#

Wires are annoying cus my desk has so much garbage on it

pale sigil
#

So it keeps getting scrapped pepecryriver

wheat plume
#

Mega speed

#

Mega speed cannot be wireless yet

pale sigil
young pecan
#

THONK Wot?

pale sigil
#

Why do you think Logitech is so good hun

#

You're thinking of Bluetooth rn

young pecan
#

Did you forget that Logitech and Razer both nailed this years ago?

astral haven
# young pecan Ok so nostalgia.

its not really nostalgia?
it just is a nice and generic RH shape, and other than that doesnt make any mistakes
its also cheaper than the GPW

wheat plume
#

Logitech barely counts as wireless for their high end mice cause they recommend having the dongle no more than a foot away from the mouse

astral haven
#

yea thats not needed

#

lel

pale sigil
#

Lol mine isn't close to my mouse xd

wheat plume
#

And if you use the powerplay pad, you have a cable anyway going the whole length to your desk

#

Lol

young pecan
#

I'd know. My downstairs G Pro sits like 6 meters away from the receiver.

pale sigil
#

Lana babe

young pecan
#

No perf drop.

pale sigil
#

The point is to eliminate drag

celest thorn
astral haven
#

just dont put it on the exact opposite side of your pc from your mouse

pale sigil
#

Not just have no wire

astral haven
#

it aint gonna travel through your pc

young pecan
pale sigil
#

My pc is on the floor

young pecan
#

It like fr does.

celest thorn
pale sigil
#

It does

young pecan
#

Idk what kind of black magic Logitech uses but that shit ignores metal and walls.

astral haven
#

no, it reflects off the wall, but that doesnt work too well

pale sigil
#

Mine is on the PC away from my desk

#

Facing the opposite of my mouse

#

It works fine

wheat plume
wheat plume
#

So no drag

astral haven
#

its all the same physics as normal light just lower frequency

young pecan
pale sigil
young pecan
#

I perf fine with it, but fuck me it's obnoxious.

pale sigil
#

Before I had it literally behind my PC and mouse in front

celest thorn
#

Well my desk looks like this, so

astral haven
wheat plume
celest thorn
#

Gotta put the salt and pepper shakers away tho

pale sigil
#

Bro wtf

celest thorn

Lana, trust me.

#

You'll get it soon.

young pecan
pale sigil
#

You'll understand.

#

You'll become

celest thorn
astral haven
#

its the same as all the other wireless technologies but its worse because its 20 years old and just keeps getting patches to stay relevant

wheat plume
young pecan
pale sigil
#

Fuck man, I used to say it was overrated and stupid.

celest thorn
wheat plume
#

Clean yo shit bruh :')

pale sigil
#

Ok not trying to judge.

young pecan
#

That's not what that is. Clean your fucking desk.

pale sigil

That's kinda bad

young pecan
#

BRO

celest thorn

Shut up @halcyon willow

celest thorn
#

Like the cans maybe

wheat plume

Clean that shit

celest thorn

I dont need the cans

astral haven

But i need a bunch of shit at the back

It feels cozy
