Wireless prefered but happy to use wired if it will give me what I need

[astral haven]

anc needs batteries, if you want to reduce noise, you need passive isolation
to get passive isolation, you can just take any random iem and buy replacement tips that isolate noise better (for a generally good experience)
if you want the best, grab etymotic or westone iems and buy westone foam tips

[late grove]

What is your budget?

[astral haven]

(etymotic foam tips isolate better but they are quite painful for most folks)

[exotic plinth]

Um all iems are good fit are like earplugs. So you might try diffrent ones that fit in our ear canal and have good sound profile

[astral haven]

the iem themselves are just for the sound, the isolation comes from the tips

[exotic plinth]

Well what ear do you have?

[regal hound]

Budget would be around £100-200 ideally (possibly more if resonable justification V.s a budget set)

[astral haven]

is the buds2pro sound about how you want things to sound?

or do you want more or less bass or something

[regal hound]

They sound "ok" for what they are intended for (and as a wireless set), they dont compete with my DT990's, HD 660 or x2HR's

[late grove]

The moment you need noise blocker, sound quality goes out of the window.
For your budget the best isolating headphone would probably be Audeze Maxwell.
If you want to test your luck you can try HE-R9. It's cheaper and sounds better but it's noise isolation is quite poor. Still it's a closed back so it may be enough.

[astral haven]

do you want something that is more like the above or just better at the same samsung/harman sound

[astral haven]

nah, the er2xr with westone foams are very very good sound quality with the top tier of available isolation (better than anything besides the aviation anc)

[late grove]

Haven't heard that one so can't comment.

[astral haven]

and if you want something more like the headphone sound profile you get er2se

but both are quite overkill for just gaming imo

you can get a much more sound focused set like the truthear nova and find some good tips for them

[regal hound]

what would you recommend for gaming / music

[astral haven]

i use the truthear novas and im experimenting with tips right now, currently using azla clear crystal tips

i do like this combo alot

and their sound profile is very similar to the samsung target (harman IE) but far better technicals

[regal hound]

I'll take a look at them and see what the reviews are like (they only seem to be on AliExpress which is concerning...)

[astral haven]

shenzhen audio has them, but i bought mine on amazon (im ashamed to admit)

actually crinacles new site should have them

[regal hound]

A freind has the Zero:RED and swears by em, says theres nothing at £49 that competes

[astral haven]

https://hangout.audio/products/truthear-nova
yea, i upgraded from zero blue (pre red release) to the novas, and ive been very happy

[reef patrol]

Truthear is way too close to Truther for my comfort.

[regal hound]

How would you say the Nova's and Zero's compare?

[astral haven]

to be clear, the blues are quite differently tuned from the reds and i dont have the reds

but the nova is only upgrades from the blue, the blues sound like a good set of speakers in your ear and a sub, but you kinda hear the separation between the bass and the rest
the nova is similar tone, but it sounds like its coming from a cohesive system
and for detail, you can more easily pick out different instruments on the nova

to be clear its nowhere near 3x better, but audio costs are exponential for the good stuff

one disadvantage of the novas are the tips that they come with arent great, after 6 months they started falling off, which is why ive been trying to find new tips

oh and one benefit for you (and me) of the azla tips is the standard azla size of tips fit the buds2pro

and both truthears

[regal hound]

I've been using the AZLA SednaEarfit MAX on my B2P and they are worlds better than the ones they shipped with, I honestly didnt realise that the tips could make such a difference

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0C4Y339D8?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

tbh I've got nothing against the B2P side from the battery issues they do everything I'd expect from a wireless offering, I just can't get away with the short battery life, some days they dont even make it to 3-4 hours.

[astral haven]

you use the smalls? the truthear do stretch the smaller size tips a bit, they might not fit well in your ears

[regal hound]

yeah I've got tiny ears haha

I think my B2P have the SS on them at the moment

[astral haven]

hmm
well be aware the zeros might not fit at all, and the novas might be very tight

if the S dont fit comfortably, id be cautious before buying anything truthear tbh

[late grove]

Idk, shall I?

[vagrant pagoda]

XD

Sc 2 special edition right?

[late grove]

mhm

[vagrant pagoda]

I have a saints row and D3 one

Sr is a bullet

D3 is soulstone out of Diablos head

[late grove]

I have all 3 Starcraft ones. Warcraft 3.. and that's it (well technically Unreal Tournament 3 as well). No I am not an RTS player. I just think those are some of the greatest games ever made.

[vagrant pagoda]

Sc1 was pre USB though

[crimson wigeon]

Yes

[late grove]

I mean SC 2 with all 3 expansions

[vagrant pagoda]

Ah

I want the terraria one bad

It was given out at some game show

I have the endermen one, but that was just sold, it didn't come with mc

[frozen ingot]

usb 1.0 was introduced to market in 1996

[late grove]

There is Aion there as well but I just picked it up for like 10 bucks on a clearance sale.

[balmy vector]

i should really get a shelf for my collectible stuff

[vagrant pagoda]

Um my ut3 collectors has no iwb

Usb

Was it Black edition?

I've been a epic alpha tester for like over 2 decades

Never got a branded USB

[late grove]

No, no USB there.

UT3 collector edition is very barebones.

[vagrant pagoda]

Oh I was talking only about USB drives

[frozen ingot]

technically usb existed when sc1 released but flash memory wasn't feasible for shipping a whole game on in 1998

[late grove]

Oh I see.

[vagrant pagoda]

Sr2 and D3 collectors came with USB drives

The s2 is a gold bullet

[frozen ingot]

not a game the size of starcraft at least

[vagrant pagoda]

D3 is a soulstone that's comes out of Diablos head

[late grove]

Only Wings of Liberty has USB. Other 2 got other items.

Diablo 3 one is sick.

[vagrant pagoda]

Y3p

My second favorite behind the mc ones

I really wish the mc ones had power up sounds

I want to mod it in

[frozen ingot]

a cd's worth of flash memory in 1998 would probably have cost you a grand or more

[vagrant pagoda]

Some chip and shitty speaker that plays a sound when it gets power

I think it was 1999 when I got my first usb

128mb, was like 200

Maybe 2000

It wasn't cheap

[frozen ingot]

yeah had an mp3 player with a 64mb cf card in it around 2000, they were still like 75-100$ then

[vagrant pagoda]

Beat parallel port zip drives

[vagrant pagoda]

I had a microdrive

Still do. Love them

[frozen ingot]

a pentium 2 ibm aptiva was our first home pc with usb ports

think it had like two of them on the whole mobo, exclusive stuff

[vagrant pagoda]

64mb cf would have been big in 2000

Microdrive was 300mb until late 2000

They were like 400 bucks for the 300 and 250 for the 150

64mb of flash would have been over 100

[frozen ingot]

oldest mem card I still own is a 16mb smartmedia

never saw or used them back in the day tho, pretty obscure compared to CF

[vagrant pagoda]

Nah they were big in early cheap digital camera pre sd

Cf cards don't pocket well

And are much larger physically

[frozen ingot]

CF are still kinda common with pro cameras

[vagrant pagoda]

Plus ton more pins for a tiny soc

Smart Media was king until sd card

Smart Media was pre2000

And it was made to work with floppy drives

I have a smart Media to 3.5 floppy adapter somewhere

[rough osprey]

also kinda "new" there

[frozen ingot]

this part I wasn't aware of, curious

[vagrant pagoda]

Name pro digital used pcmia flash cards, then cf cards

Not really new

[vagrant pagoda]

USB wasnt common

Plus implementing USB on the camera would be expensive

[frozen ingot]

wish zip drives had been more widespread, wanted one for a long time but was expensive and nobody else I knew had them so woulda been limited to home use

[vagrant pagoda]

So you had serial or floppy

[rough osprey]

oh wait talking about cf express

[frozen ingot]

yep I do member the thicc serial plugs for some cameras and mp3 players

[vagrant pagoda]

Prosumers would have a parallel or Isa/PCI card reader

USB was slow af

[frozen ingot]

my mp3 player was probably one of the earliest to use usb

[vagrant pagoda]

Yeah

[frozen ingot]

and yeah wasn't fast but then it could also only store 128mb

[vagrant pagoda]

Mice and mp3 was most people's only usb

[frozen ingot]

part of me miss the dedicated ps/2 mouse and kb ports a bit, had some clear advantages over usb

[ripe patrol]

Hi, can I plug my Sennheisers into an amp and plug that into the goxlr for better sound quality or do people do something different?
im also looking at the FiiO K5 Pro or the Sound BlasterX G6, does anyone have a recommendation?

[frozen ingot]

imagine the response/refresh rate you'd get with a modern dedicated chipset for only mouse/kb, no sharing bandwidth or processing with a bunch of other things

[final flame]

I wouldn't recommend using a interface as a dac, it's better to just get a apple dongle to serve as a dac

also what sennhesiers do you have?

[frozen ingot]

I mean it'd still be unnoticable to a human but would look great on the numbers

[ripe patrol]

sennheiser 598cs
i have an android if that matters.

So don't plug my headphones in my goxlr in general just specifically use a dongle to pc?

[final flame]

you really don't need a amp, you're better off getting a headphone upgrade instead

just use a apple dongle or a CX31993 and call it a day

interfaces just generally don't have good outputs for headphones

[ripe patrol]

oh gosh

don't know if this changes the answer but my headphones are specifically for fps gaming

[final flame]

regardless of what you're doing, you don't need a amp

they're a very efficient headphone, they run off of everything really

[ripe patrol]

okay ill pick up a dongle thanks for helping. and this will go straight into my pc and won't plug into my goxlr right?

[final flame]

yes

[ripe patrol]

what makes the apple dongle so good? is it okay if I don't own anything else apple? (sorry for all the questions this is a new subject for me)

[final flame]

it's a very well measuring dac as far as measurements go and it's one of the cheapest options that's available
it's a good start for many people

[wheat plume]

My phone doesn't like the Apple dongle
But my tablet and Steam Deck don't mind using it

[jaunty rose]

Yooo TenZ is a Logitech superlight hater

[ripe patrol]

can you dm me the apple dongle and cx31993 you'd recommend when ever you have a minute, i didn't realize there were so many. thank you

[sudden imp]

They used to be cheaper than iPhones now it costs the same

There was a point when I wanted to switch to pixel but certain things wouldn’t work with android

[astral haven]

break out of the walled garden!

[sudden imp]

I mean everyone is trying to build their own garden now. I’m also not wanting to deal with the headache.

[astral haven]

false dichotomy
samsung and google try to convince people to stay on them by providing features that noone else has
apple tries to convince people to stay on them by only being compatible with themselves, taking advantage of their install base

best example of that is when google finally added direct file sharing, samsung immediately started migrating their version of that feature over to be compatible with googles

[sudden imp]

If Google had a monopoly with their install base I would wager they would try what Apple does.

When side loading gets added I may be able to use stuff like a pixel watch if I really wanted to.

[astral haven]

google has a larger install base than apple, and they still work to be compatible

and the pixel watch can be set up with anything that can run android
and because android can be run as a vm, you can set it up on any sufficiently unlocked system, including a macbook (ios devices arent unlocked enough yet but maybe eventually)

[sudden imp]

I think with other app stores being pushed onto the iPhone other brands watches could be added

[astral haven]

the reason that the 3rd party watches dont work with ios is because apple doesnt provide the apis that the apple watch uses to sync to 3rd parties, and they dont even provide a neutered version of the apis

using some hacky workarounds you can get things kinda working, but that relies on the watch being autonomous, which android wear isnt
(garmins work fine without a phone, android wear and apple watch need one after a certain amount of time)

[wheat plume]

Such as?

[astral haven]

thats another thing
with ios, im often finding stuff that is outright banned by apple, with no workarounds possible
my favorite recent example of that is background sync on battery
Theres a setting in settings that is supposed to allow an app to sync in the background but it doesnt work at all
the app also needs to be given background location permissions
once that happens, the app still cant sync in the background, itll only sync when charging or when you open it

[sudden imp]

Huh interesting

[astral haven]

on android the limitations are usually "forces you to go into the permission settings and enable the button for installing apks from outside of the app store"

so why wont my remap media keys work?

wooting needs to do a 65% form factor

[unkempt lake]

https://www.kitguru.net/components/cpu/matthew-wilson/amd-responds-to-ryzen-9000-performance-claims/

[lyric hatch]

Maybe they will one day if the people want it

[ruby haven]

i mean a lot of people dislike the 60 format, and i doubt a lot of people asked for the 80 format

[lyric hatch]

TKL(80%) was the most popular request

[twin mulch]

Guys could someone help me with something

[ruby haven]

the 80he is a goofy ahh form factor

it's also missing a few keys so not a true tkl

[twin mulch]

So i have a 60 He, and it works absolutely amazing but I don't know if somehow i messed with something in the software but the rgb just perma fades away?

The rgb works, its there because when i switch between profiles it turns on for a sec

and as i say that plugging it in and unplugging it fixed it

[lyric hatch]

Well it seems to have been pretty popular

[ruby haven]

im guessing that wooting didn't show what it was going to look like and people assumed it was a normal tkl

[sudden imp]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCBant78nKQ

seems people still are going to avoid asus

But the boards are kind of lame and look to be unnecessarily expensive

[sudden imp]

How come so few new monitors are using display port 2.1?

https://youtu.be/a9J-WRrRm3A?si=SYIeXvJKzt3pV11z

[lyric hatch]

Because it's not needed and displayport 2.1 cables max out at like 1.3m in length

(For DP80)

[spare wedge]

DP is backwards compatible tho. I dont see a reason why they wouldnt

You also don’t have to worry about DSC issues with nvidia gpus

[rough osprey]

ig bc gpus dont use these ports yet

other then amd

[spare wedge]

Yes but new gpus are coming out soon

I’ll be damned if they didnt support 2.1 lol

[rough osprey]

they gonna release a new version then :D

[astral haven]

unlike hdmi, you cant throw a old speed displayport connection on a new standard, hdmi 2.1 can be anything from 9 to 48gbps

[rough osprey]

Also the gsync module is like kinda old

if the monitor has it

[astral haven]

dp 2.1 starts at 40gbps and goes up to 80gbps

[spare wedge]

I dont think I’ve seen gsync module monitors in a while, but then again I only have oled now lol

[astral haven]

another fun fact is the current displayport connector cant handle the full 80g speeds

usbc or minidisplayport only for now

[lyric hatch]

Displayport 2.1a seems to fix most of the issues with current 2.1 I imagine that will be more widely adopted

[rough osprey]

maybe lg will use them

1440p 360hz 8bit fits into hdmi 2.1 bandwith without dsc or

[astral haven]

easily, however dsc is available on every modern gpu, and isnt detectable

[rough osprey]

ye i dont think it will be a huge issue

guess ill see next week

[spare wedge]

8-bit

[rough osprey]

not playing in hdr so

[astral haven]

what current gpu ports cant do is stuff like 8k120 or 5k240 (needs subsampling)

[astral haven]

and 10 bit will also fit easily if im mathing correct

[spare wedge]

I personally play at 4k240hz w/ hdr

And that shit requires 70gbps

[astral haven]

wrong

[astral haven]

my gpu is capable of outputting a max of 25gbps and i am running 4k240 hdr right now

[rough osprey]

whats dsc 3.0?

[astral haven]

the whole "no compression" thing doesnt make sense to me
sure in the old days of chroma subsampling being the only option, that was bad and visible, but pretending gpus dont have dsc is a waste

[rough osprey]

im only losing cuz my display shows a compressed image

[astral haven]

yea, folks think that its like youtube or something

[rough osprey]

lol

[astral haven]

the compression that dsc uses is less than most cameras use for their "uncompressed" raw formats

[distant tapir]

I use a VGA cable so I am basically suffering from some kind of 'compression' (distortion/signal loss) no matter what.

[astral haven]

nah fam, the vga is the analog so its the real signal without any of that digital conversion going on

just ignore the dimming of the screen in bands that correspond with 60hz

[lyric hatch]

They'll pick it up when the standard is more mature and fleshed out

And has cables that are longer then 1.3m

[astral haven]

my vote is everyone just use usbc and everything is already ready

or we should switch to singlemode fiber

[balmy vector]

I will extend it by plugging multiple inside them, creating a daisychain . This will totally work

[distant tapir]

[sudden imp]

imma wait for comparisons to like aw2725df

[north tide]

anybody who is good with calibrating monitors around? I have a few issues, and while i have two screens side by side with one of them producing a more desirable result i'm not certain of the best settings to tweak to target it

[late grove]

If these are 2 different panels then it's unlikely you will be able to match them 1:1

[north tide]

yeah IK, can get closer though.

[late grove]

Well then all you can do is tweak the RGB values and contrast setting on your monitor.

Without delving into ICC profiles which won't work for majority of applications anyway.

[north tide]

to give an example, rtings mention tweaking with this

and IDK what the difference between rgb in different sections are

The biggest issue that i'm having are that bright colors are overbrightened tbh

trying to fix it with contrast is wrecking the blacks, and trying to fix it with gamma over 2.2 is throwing the lower 2/3'rds of the brightness off

i have a list of tweaks that is good enough that i will hopefully mostly get used to it tho

but next time i will probably buy OLED 😄

[late grove]

Good idea.

[umbral heron]

On my AW2723DF that was happening because of Dark Stabilizer, maybe you have a similar option there?

Anyone else with a nas? Just wondering how many dead/malfunction drives other people experienced with their nas. I've had like 12 drives and 4 were dead/malfunctioning and had to be returned.

[reef patrol]

I doubt the NAS has had much to do with it.
What drives are you putting into it?

[glad scroll]

Seagate IronWolf, Seagate Exos, Toshiba MG and some WD Red

[reef patrol]

Mixing drives? That's not usually a great idea, but shouldn't have drives die outright.

[quaint dew]

rip "as clean, yes, but not as smooth because it only refreshes at 240hz"

so unless you're 240fps capped the elmb is useless

[umbral heron]

I still don't understand why would you want more than 240fps
More than that and diminishing returns are so tiny it doesn't matter

[glad scroll]

Yeah, I had to buy the drives as I went along so I ended up with some different. Both the Toshiba MG drives malfunction though, so now the system is just IronWolf, Exos and WD Red
But I'm trying to consolidate to just Exos, though I got a bunch of different drives from an auction, so will be some different.

I was just curious though if anyone else also experienced dead/malfunctioning drives with their nas (since you have a large amount of drives there)

[quaint dew]

at this point i'll probably go with an aw2725df

[frozen ingot]

epeen

[north tide]

they're not, but a 1khz mouse shows weakness at 240hz and isn't acceptable above it.

A lot of people were misled by that because they didn't understand the link

[umbral heron]

There may be a teeny tiny difference between 240Hz and 360Hz
But 480, 540 or whatever are just pure marketing

[north tide]

Not the case, there are many visual artifacts that are linearly proportional to update rate and scale to the khz range with normal motion speeds and pixel densities

[reef patrol]

Imagine having a flat 240FPS in a game like Overwatch. That takes some hardware 😄

[frozen ingot]

imagine spending the money required to play overwatch at 240fps and realizing you spent all that money to play overwatch

[wheat plume]

Overwatch is super easy to get running at 240

it can do 120 on my Deck when docked to my monitor

[frozen ingot]

why would you even play it on a steam deck

you can even get close to 100fps on macos using crossover lol

I'd get annihilated using a controller setup in online fps

[reef patrol]

But do you get 240fps 1% lows?

Also a 4070TI is not a small GPU

[gusty kiln]

On all low it never goes below 400

Yeah that's one of the linear effects that scales to khz range.

[late grove]

I am considering getting one but probably will pass. There are just too many caviats to this monitor.

No DP 2.1, matte coating, Asus and this monitor only being useful in dead multiplayer games.

Hell, Unreal Tournament 3 starts breaking at past 400 FPS.

Still playable but you will encounter issues.

does it matter if i get XMP or EXPO

if they have the same specs

[reef patrol]

Technically (on paper) EXPO is more finely tuned to AMD than Intel.

[balmy vector]

Yeah, i was personally able to use the profile for my ddr5 moving from intel to am5

[umbral heron]

XMP on Vengeances works just fine with AM5

[balmy vector]

Mhm

[trim crane]

yeah you moved the 7800X3D

im moving from 13700K to 9800X3D because of my over 100+ BSODs and crashes with my raptor lake CPU

[umbral heron]

Ironically, when I was making puter for my cousin, EXPO was causing bootloops on 7600X XMP worked great though

[trim crane]

in one year

[balmy vector]

Insane

[trim crane]

ok thanks guys

should I get my CPU and MB first and then RAM?

[river socket]

Anyone can help me install a new power supply?

[balmy vector]

You were using ddr4 i assume on the 13th gen?

[trim crane]

DDR5

Not very good DDR5

[balmy vector]

Oh

[trim crane]

it worked it just wasnt great

sooo yeah im getting the corsair kit

[balmy vector]

Well since you already have a set id say just focus on the mobo and cpu first, then the ram

[trim crane]

the EXPO version is on the QVL but the XMP version isnt besides them being idectical otherwise

sure Ill wait for the 9800X3D and X870-I Strix

thats what im waiting for

for reference the QVL was on the predecessor board the X670E-I

those 2 are similar to my Z790-I

[vagrant pagoda]

Why get a 870?

[oblique jolt]

my windows key not working

[trim crane]

got some QOL and slightly better IO, probably better compatibility with memory, Wi-Fi 7, BT5.4 other stuff too

over the X670E-I variant, which is very close to the Z790-I i owned

[umbral heron]

B650

[vagrant pagoda]

Imagine still buying Asus products

[trim crane]

and i really really like thos board/dac

i havent even had issues with asus?

like half of the stuff i own is ROG

0 problems

[vagrant pagoda]

They have huge rma issues

[pastel nacelle]

Why would you rma of other board if it's having problems right out the box.

Just bring it back to the store

[vagrant pagoda]

You know things don't always break within the return window right?

[pastel nacelle]

Electronics have a 90 day store warranty + 2 year+1 year manafacturer commonly.

[vagrant pagoda]

Most retailers give you 30 days for return/exchange

[pastel nacelle]

Man I love microcenter.

[trim crane]

ofc i know that but i have owned this stuff for years

[pastel nacelle]

If ya owned the motherboard for over 1 year W/O a credit card its usually on you.

[trim crane]

still inexcusable what asus is doing

[balmy vector]

As long as you dont have issues, then it doesn’t really matter

Just as long as you’re aware

[trim crane]

yep been aware of the whole thing

[vagrant pagoda]

Supporting a company doing shitty this is shitty

[frozen ingot]

most of the pc hardware brands got dirt like this on them these days

[balmy vector]

Mhm

[pastel nacelle]

If I was a company that exists within legal planned obsolescence. As a marketing employee over stepping boundaries. Id want a motherboard to crap it self after the warranty ends and charge money for making it look pretty.

Make people who want asthetics pay for it.

Thats how overpriced bmws work.

[trim crane]

im not supporting asus, i just buy their stuff because i benefit from their features

[vagrant pagoda]

That's supporting them lok

[frozen ingot]

gigabyte, msi, asrock etc they all been guilty of sleazy anti-consumer practices, trying to manipulate reviews, selling factory defect products to end customers etc etc

[pastel nacelle]

Duuh

[trim crane]

exactly

[pastel nacelle]

And EVGAs hands arent clean either.

[frozen ingot]

they all greasy bastards

[gusty kiln]

@umbral heron did you ever buy those headphones?

[trim crane]

everyone has skeletons in their closets

[umbral heron]

Not yet, probably somewhere in October

[frozen ingot]

smokes lets go

[trim crane]

so dont just scrutinize asus

[pastel nacelle]

I blame capitalism.

And publicly traded businesses.

[trim crane]

all of them should be scrutinized for their anti consumer practices

[pastel nacelle]

See if wooting showed us what they paid for each board in cost and only made a 5% mark up.

We'd be having them sold out everyday maybe.

[trim crane]

im still buying the X870-I Strix board, besides memory express and canada computers can test my cpu mb and mem and cooler for me so I dont have to go through that myself

[pastel nacelle]

Is it sustainable for company nah. But thats what consumers would be happy with.

At the other end who wants to run a company and make $15/hr as the president.

[wheat plume]

I never understand why YT Music has the Like and Dislike buttons the wrong way around

The amount of times Ive accidently hit dislike is too damn high

[pastel nacelle]

https://tenor.com/view/reverse-card-uno-uno-cards-gif-13032597

Its closer to right hand thumbs to mis click.

[trim crane]

didnt they have it the other way

[pastel nacelle]

Im left handed

So this doesnt affect me

[wheat plume]

same...but it does affect me cause basically every other service with these buttons have them swapped xd

[pastel nacelle]

See I think the world has more left handed people than it does.

Its just right handed religion is oppression.

[wheat plume]

Yes, cause we were basically beaten for being left handed until like 40 years ago

At least that was the case in Ireland...

[pastel nacelle]

Not only that.

Teachers push for kids to be right handed.

[wheat plume]

Still?

[pastel nacelle]

Still because they cant grade left handed pen manship

Yes.

[wheat plume]

wut

[pastel nacelle]

In school they "corrected" my niece with right handed penmanship in her writing books.

Her letters were angled to the left.

Instead of the right way

[wheat plume]

My teachers could not read my writing cause its shit, and sometimes the ink got smeared cause I had to rest my hand on it to write on the right side page...

[pastel nacelle]

Duh

[wheat plume]

I can barely read my writing at times, even when the ink is not smeared

[pastel nacelle]

Make reverse penmanship for my pencil lead covered hand.

[pastel nacelle]

Japanese

[wheat plume]

I can do most things with any hand except writing and using a computer mouse...

[wheat plume]

nah, Japanese looks neat,my writing looks like a scribbled mess

[pastel nacelle]

Japanese is ez

Just forget everything you know about latin.

And learn Traditional Chinese.

Then learn Japanese after .

Chinese rolls over into Kanji

Kanji is founation for Rest of Japaramen.

Reason for Kanji is to understand double meaning.

[wheat plume]

Can discord please make a light theme on phone that doesn't blind me?

[pastel nacelle]

Discord Light + phone blie screen filter.

Makes everything piss colored.

[steep creek]

right, i can use lightmode in lots of apps just not discord

[wheat plume]

This one is nice but then I'd have to pay nitro

[wheat plume]

Same....
I wish YT Music app had it too
Cause I use that outdoors and it's impossible to see in dark theme if it's super bright out

Dafuq
Does every phone have this or is this a custom ROM feature?

[steep creek]

youtube music light mode?

[wheat plume]

Yeh

Would be nice when outdoors

[steep creek]

yea true

[pastel nacelle]

Eye comfort shield.

[trim crane]

same

[wheat plume]

Samsung

[trim crane]

eye comfort helps a ton

[wheat plume]

I no haz Samsung

[steep creek]

weird how youtube app has a lightmode but not music

[trim crane]

i need the back arrow to be left

not on the right

[wheat plume]

I have this

[trim crane]

when i got my samsung that was the first thing I changed

well thats just me tho

[wheat plume]

Same
But I use gestures now
So the back arrow is technically on both sides now xd

[trim crane]

kekw

[pastel nacelle]

Search your McPixel for blue lighy filter/eye shield.

[steep creek]

i love blue light filters at night time

[wheat plume]

I have night light which is the same thing

[pastel nacelle]

There should also be a screen burn protection too that prevents harsh white.

[wheat plume]

Going back to a 60hz display on this phone feels so laggy now
After my tablet on 144Hz and my mom's new phone on 120HZ

[wheat plume]

The only apps that's harsh white is discord
The others use off-white or the systems background tint accent color

[pastel nacelle]

https://tenor.com/view/capoo-cuuviho99-capoolac-cute-head-bang-gif-16349195

[frozen ingot]

rather take more battery life over high refresh rate on a phone tbh

[pastel nacelle]

Why have battery life.

When you could have a fone that charges when your booty jiggles.

[steep creek]

given the price they charge for flagships these day i want both

[trim crane]

i do benefit off my S20 Ultra's 120Hz display

not really for QOL, but when playing geometry dash or sidescrollers 👌

its nice

otherwise i keep it on 60Hz to attempt to maximize battery

[pastel nacelle]

I watch videos on my phone

[frozen ingot]

yea haven't had a game installed on my phone in years

decent mobile games are a rare find these days, nearly all of it got sucked down the freemium shitnado

[wheat plume]

Youtube 120Hz update when? XD

[trim crane]

would be nice

[sharp badger]

For what reason?

[trim crane]

maybe I would start considering getting an AV1 GPU and recording at 120FPS

[trim crane]

for the option

[empty wren]

90hz minimum or bust

[trim crane]

people have 120Hz phones and sometimes higher than 120+Hz monitors, me at 1440p 360Hz so the option would benefit me on everything

although i wouldnt be surprised that youtube would paywall the feature

[sudden imp]

https://wccftech.com/amd-ryzen-5-7600x3d-launches-early-september-6-core-zen-5-102-mb-3d-v-cache/?utm_

[sharp badger]

Oh how i would like to play Okami with 120hz

Don't see the point with higher refresh rate on watching videos

[astral haven]

i watch most vids at 2x or 2.25x speed

[sharp badger]

Speedrunning videos any%

[empty wren]

Yeah 165

[empty wren]

That seems only viable for gameplay

[latent mural]

Rezon x Drexler keyboard might be better than 80he?

[umbral heron]

This one? https://www.strayfe.de/strayfe-Rezon-x-Drexler-60-HE-Tastatur/

[sharp badger]

Optical switches, hmm

[umbral heron]

Looks like your typical 8k HE OEM

[wheat plume]

Bazzite reset my Flatpak data :/

Chrome
Firefox
All logged out and settings reset and history gone

[vagrant pagoda]

Wooting has a ton of time into the firmware, I doubt some newcomer is going to have the same quality and features

[umbral heron]

As for now the only keyboard that even comes close to 80HE is EZ63, rest is quite behind, and most of them are just the same OEM board with different case and keycaps

[sharp badger]

Even Nuphy have a 60% coming, 8k polling & 8k scanning

[latent mural]

he but still have 8kHz

[sudden imp]

Arc's built in ad block feature is so cool. I really hope the browser becomes more mainstream. (totally off topic but I thought i'd share)

[umbral heron]

8k polling - but I'm almost certain that not 8k scanning

[sharp badger]

Waay to happy with Wooting so don't feel like i need to buy any other brand

[distant tapir]

This guy doesn't BlurBusters!!!

[steep creek]

ez63 has 5khz scanning iirc

[distant tapir]

Difference between 240 Hz and 540 Hz is of course greater than the difference between 240 Hz and 360 Hz.

[umbral heron]

Thing is that even there will be board from competition that'll give that tiny edge more, be that 0.1ms faster, have that 0.01mm more precision - I don't care, I'm already spoiled by good software
Which also works on Linux

[late grove]

Have you seen 540hz yourself?

[sharp badger]

Exactly

[umbral heron]

I know that the difference between 240 and 360Hz isn't worth paying more for me
Also TN, ew

[late grove]

The only relevant game where 360+ is worth it is Overwatch.

But if you are playing Overwatch you are already doing it wrong.

[wheat plume]

I made my apps in Firefox instead :D

[umbral heron]

I want old Overwatch

[steep creek]

[distant tapir]

Overwatch was always kinda mediocre. They should have copied TF2 more by adding things such as highly moddable custom servers.

[umbral heron]

If we had server software for Overwatch, it'd be way more popular than it's now
And Blizzard would get more dollars in skins

[distant tapir]

Yes. Custom servers are the best part of TF2.

Overwatch will never have fun stuff like this.

[late grove]

They should've copied TF2 by making it 12v12. That alone would've made the game last longer.

[wheat plume]

dafuq is happening to the bottom corners?! They are round and square at the same time 😅

[umbral heron]

Yes, exactly
That'd keep way more of casual audience too - more people in teams = less chance of steamrolling

Also role queue is pointless
If people want to play 6x Hanzo - let them. And let opposing team counter them by picking Pharah or whatever

[distant tapir]

Sad that they took the anti-fun approach to comp. First they didn't let people pick the same hero, then they restricted classes.

Remember going 6 Winston bomb-rushing the point and all placing down shields?

[umbral heron]

I member we had one match 6v6 Mercy pistols

[distant tapir]

Fug I miss old Bastion.

And how much everybody whined.

[steep creek]

man i just want duo tank bank

[old marlin]

Don't forget the self heal

And the team res from mercy

And doubling and tripling up on heros

[distant tapir]

Can't believe they removed that.

I quit even before the China drama happened. Game is so different now.

[rough osprey]

540 vs 240 is a biig difference

[smoky frigate]

I'll probably get a 540hz in some years next to sate my curiosity, I didn't think I'd see the difference between 240 and 360 either but here I am

[distant tapir]

The higher you get, the higher you have to jump for an easily noticeable difference.

I would never bother going from 240 to 360. But 240 to 480 (or more) I would.

[umbral heron]

Once there will be 540Hz IPS I'll think about it
F no, I don't want TN/VA

[smoky frigate]

remember when people were seriously arguing that more than 60hz is not noticeable

why not OLED?

also TN has its flaws but I kinda love it

[rough osprey]

ye are there any 540hz ips planned?

[sharp badger]

I just want μLED

[rough osprey]

seems like its mostly oled or tn rn

[distant tapir]

The only thing that has changed is now the number is higher (but still underestimated).
The rule of thumb most people apply seems to be: 'anything higher than what I currently own is snakeoil, marketing and placebo'
So for me if you use more than 85 Hz you are an idiot.

[smoky frigate]

yes that is quite accurate

[steep creek]

qdel waiting room

[distant tapir]

Yessir! ✋

Just something to replace oled.

[sharp badger]

What's the difference between qdel & μLED?

[rough osprey]

imagine not switching monitors every year

[smoky frigate]

and then there is the "caring about latency lower than I have is dumb and only makes sense for esports" side of the same coin

[steep creek]

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/04/meet-qdel-the-backlight-less-display-tech-that-could-replace-oled-in-premium-tvs/

[smoky frigate]

noice. gonna wait a few years until this comes out

[sharp badger]

Interesting

[distant tapir]

Anybody not in a hurry to get a new display can (hopefully) just wait a few years (if they care to) and skip oled.

[rough osprey]

hm if they cheaper then oled

[steep creek]

i’ve had my monitor since 2015 i’m sure i can wait a few more years for this to come out

[sharp badger]

And no burn-in potential with no organic materials used

[steep creek]

will be nice going straight to new tech as well

yep i’m very excited for no burn in hopefully

[distant tapir]

I want a super bright display so that it can maybe have epic BFI.

[umbral heron]

@gusty kiln I found new opened LCD-2Fs for some 600€

[rough osprey]

ye

240hz oled with bfi seems to be at ~160nits rn

[smoky frigate]

240hz BFI on a display capable of higher (360) looks fuccin epic btw. I can see stairs effects even turning the camera fast in games now

[distant tapir]

I want to have 90% blur reduction or something.

Not just poopy software BFI that only reduces by 50%.

But 90% blur reduction would mean an extremely dim image.

[gusty kiln]

Those are can pretty good if you get the right earpads for them

The wait doe.

[halcyon moss]

40 minutes 😮

[steep creek]

this video is a lot more detailed than the last one

[halcyon moss]

Yeah I'm. Not gonna watch 40 minutes :p

[steep creek]

lol me either

[ashen spindle]

That’s what 2x or 3x video speeds are for

[steep creek]

ive tried but never feels natural to me. will just save it for the weekend so i can listen in the background while doing something else

[vagrant pagoda]

Yeah I can't to 2x but I can skip a ton

[astral haven]

practice, i was stuck at 1.5x 2 years ago, now im pretty comfortable at 2.25

[lyric hatch]

Depends who's talking, setting someone like Louis Rossman at those speeds is tough

[halcyon moss]

An other extremely ranty person. Can't watch him because of that

[little silo]

@final flame Good morning/afternoon Glaxes. Finally got the dream mic after 2 years lol. Wanted to know if you had any experience with this thing, and how to EQ it and whatnot. Thank you.

[frozen ingot]

rossmann already speaking at 1.5x by default

when he gets really worked up and agitated its bordering on 2x

[balmy vector]

Is this added onto the natural 1.5x

[vagrant pagoda]

I don't know I just find skipping till I find what I want and then going back a bit to hear it better

[smoky frigate]

I have tested it out. left is original, right is 80%. I conclude that he speaks at 1.2x speed by default

[frozen ingot]

right one sounds so off in an uncanny way

[smoky frigate]

you may be right, 85% is better

[wheat plume]

Vertical Workspaces are back WWWOOOOOO

(via extension anyway)

[river socket]

If I replaced my power supply on pc, does it matter if I connect this cable or the older one?, idk where to connect it

[crimson wigeon]

That looks like the end that goes in the wall

[river socket]

It doesn’t go to the electricity cable that goes to the power tho

[analog sinew]

this end goes to the pc

and it doesnt matter which one you use

[river socket]

This I know yea

Nvm

Got it sorted out

[halcyon moss]

And no, doesn't matter really.

[river socket]

Gotchu

Good to know, you learn something new everyday

[shadow minnow]

Weird sound is just what happens with slowing this is much faster than usual videos

[unkempt lake]

Unless you're using something like an HX1500i or psu with a very high wattage the end that goes into the pc is slightly different

Fun fact

[vagrant pagoda]

yep i got them

[wheat plume]

🤔 my YT Music icon changed wtf

[fair gull]

ye c19 and c20

very common on UPS units

but any psu up to 2.4kW should not need one

as the c13/c14 connector can do 10A

the c19/c20 go to 15 or so

some ridiculous number for a pc alone

[ashen spindle]

yeah but 1500w psus on 120v?

[fair gull]

america just needs to finally not do the dumb 120v split

they all get 240v at the breaker box

or well most modern homes

[astral haven]

yes, its about the current that the connector needs
if you make a not perfectly efficient psu or have wall voltage drop to low, at max power you are gonna easily be over 15 amps

probably the most famous 1500w psu

[remote solstice]

Does a 5 pin switch work on a wooting one? Much appreciated if someone could enlighten me😬

[fair gull]

no

the wooting one is IR based switched

no pins

[remote solstice]

Oh ok

Thank you very much

[fair gull]

and no you cant just use any optical switch

[remote solstice]

Ah

Which switch(es) would work on the wooting one?

[fair gull]

only adomax flaretech type b switches

which adomax was very successful in selling.... to only us apparently

[remote solstice]

Ty you are very knowledgeable you have a very fitting name

[balmy vector]

Big brain tony

[reef patrol]

Didn't someone link some potential alternative the other day?

[fair gull]

im trying to get a link of someone who lately found switches that look compatible.

[fair gull]

nay only an image

[reef patrol]

[fair gull]

and extracting the text didnt help

i DMd them

i might order a pack to test if they work as a viable alternative for old customers

[unkempt lake]

A residential breaker is 1800w

Fun fact

[fair gull]

the connector is only made for 10A though so

[vagrant pagoda]

most are 2400 in the last 20 years

[vagrant pagoda]

whast connector?

[fair gull]

c13/c14

[unkempt lake]

Newer houses sure

[fair gull]

they can most likely handle more but officially rated for 10A

[vagrant pagoda]

no its 15a per UL in USA

IEC rates it at 10a

[fair gull]

yes and IEC is who id trust with a connector they normed

[vagrant pagoda]

and ul is the top dog in us, so thats what gets used

[unkempt lake]

I have the 860w version of it in nico's pc to this day lol

Still works like a charm

Even tho it literally dates from when i bought a gtx980 on release date

[vagrant pagoda]

eh if youre new to pcs

[astral haven]

Fame is a populism thing

some also say that you would need to skip 10s and then get this

[pastel nacelle]

Who needs switches from chinuh?

[fair gull]

oh its an alibaba account? well time spent well you told me the solution. i do have such an account

[fair gull]

what company time. i sure hope ive been off of work since quite some time

[pastel nacelle]

When you scan in it asks for your Alipay Bank.

On mobile just need email + a credit card.

[fair gull]

idk my alibaba account anymore

[north tide]

The 248qp does ULMB-2 strobing with a 0.3ms pulse width at 200 nits (which is bright in a fully lit room)

so that's like BFI-ing from 3000hz

it's pretty godly performance, can't stress that enough. Back in my day we were using the lightboost hack to get 2ms strobes on 144hz and that was amazing despite turning the screen yellow.

as far as eq goes it doesn't really need it unless there's a specific sound you want
for the most part it really depends on what you're doing with it to determine what you apply onto the sound

I'll mostly be using it for calls, MAYBE some streaming or recording down the line.

Just want to block out the background and breathing noises mostly

anyone know how to make Firefox stop showing this popup when I close the window?

[fair gull]

stop playing audio before closing

or stop using firefox

Google knows.

[wheat plume]

I tried google, not much good

[ashen spindle]

copy the text into google, maybe add a word like stop or something and im sure the first or sercond link will tell you

[wheat plume]

I tried dom.disable_beforeunload fix, but that doesnt work for me

[umbral heron]

Probably because you have YT Music set as a separate app

[wheat plume]

Yeah, but I did it to the YT Music app

[fair gull]

i mean a good other thing is to just say stay on page, close it again, stay on page again and all that

[wheat plume]

you can still open extra tabs in the app with the keyboard shortcut

[fair gull]

and at some point you can check a box to not show it anymore

[wheat plume]

oh, I will try that

[umbral heron]

Ok, I know why
That happens when you want to close music.youtube.com when music is playing

[wheat plume]

yeh

[umbral heron]

YT can't save timestamp where you finished listening, that's all
Just pause before exiting

[wheat plume]

hehe, Firefox is awesome <3

[wheat plume]

oohh

[fair gull]

literally my first suggestion was pause music before closing

[reef patrol]

I was patiently waiting for you to say "The solution is not to listen to music on YT Music"

[wheat plume]

yeah, I saw that but I know I will forget

[wheat plume]

Nah, Tony uses YT Music

[fair gull]

my gf and her mom do as well

[reef patrol]

I meant Calslock.

It was such an obvious setup

[wheat plume]

oh xd

true xd

[umbral heron]

That'd be the case if I haven't found solution in like 3 minutes

[fair gull]

cals is prob more questioning why lana isnt using arch btw

[reef patrol]

[wheat plume]

Ayooo, the tick box appeared and now its gone for good

hopefully....

[fair gull]

should be unless firefox succ

[umbral heron]

Lana is a distro-hopper
Distro-hoppers must be free

[wheat plume]

I was until like 2 weeks ago when I switched my Deck over from SteamOS (Arch) to Bazzite (Fedora)

[reef patrol]

In other browser news. My Chrome still doesn't enforce that new addon standard. uBlock Origin continues to do its job.

[wheat plume]

Nah, my laptops been on Fedora for over a year now xd

[wheat plume]

for now

[umbral heron]

Your browser can't stop supporting Manifest V2 without your consent
Just say no

[reef patrol]

Sure. I just sealed my fate by saying that. But I just updated Chrome just to check.

It updated, still runs.

[wheat plume]

The only bug ive had on Bazzite is the Shrodinger's Format bug 😅

oh...maybe its a Game Mode Steam problem 👀 doesnt show up in Steam on desktop mode

[little silo]

I need you to help me too. Every time I open a new webpage, I get this white flash that pops up. Have you experienced that before?

[steep creek]

wonder how long brave and these type of browsers support ad block

[little silo]

Is there anything I need to install?

[steep creek]

i really don’t want to use firefox

[little silo]

Why, vibe?

[final flame]

eq apo is what most people use

[steep creek]

been spoiled by web software

[fair gull]

i thought its firefox uh.... "interesting" decisions lately

[steep creek]

yeah like the ad company acquisition. i’d be more onboard if it was opt in

[little silo]

@final flame would you like to take this into DMs?

[steep creek]

those too are reasons, just keyboards were the first thing that came to mind lol

[final flame]

would be best to watch a tutorial on how to do it, I personally don't run anything on my mic
a tutorial would be better

[fair gull]

i also get their concerns for security/privacy with googles forced webhid and stuff... but just give people the ability to enable those as a flag or smth

[little silo]

Got you, checking it out

[wheat plume]

yeh I have seen that and idk why it happens

[steep creek]

yeah agreed. i’m against them alone deciding what’s best for their users

[wheat plume]

web software? you mean Epiphany?

[steep creek]

wootility and oryx

[cold geode]

i just saw this mouse with keycaps and my first thought was that Wooting should make something similar but with Hall Effect switches and Wootility support

... dear Wooting team if you read this feel free to steal my idea, but send me one if you make it reality

[little silo]

wouldn't make sense, why do you need RT for a mouse

[cold geode]

HE can achieve a lot more than just RT

[little silo]

Yes, but why? All a mouse needs to do is click.

[cold geode]

customizable activation depth and DKS

[icy tundra]

Wooting 80he keeps on getting more and more expensive for south africa, they keep on removing the cheap shipping options, so we forced to use more expensive ones

[icy tundra]

I like your bookmarks

[little silo]

thank you

[vagrant pagoda]

i literaly am using a analog input mouse right now

its dope

[little silo]

How does it work?

[vagrant pagoda]

wont go back

its go ton of buttons though

i couldnt deal with just 5 buttons

[steep creek]

swiftpoint?

or nvm don’t think that’s exactly analog

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah swiftpoint

and its analog

[steep creek]

oh neat

[vagrant pagoda]

just pressure not movment

[steep creek]

yes it seems quite nice

[vagrant pagoda]

i love copy light press, cut hard press and paste light press, paste+enter on hard press

[wheat plume]

The front camera is in a very strange place though

Ok
This is actually neat

Could make a nice phone for music or whatnot

[spare wedge]

Arch is mid anyways

Use the superior NixOS

[vagrant pagoda]

would make a dope shroud

[balmy vector]

Honestly

Yeah it would

[vagrant pagoda]

what oled monitor has over 900?

pretty sure the pg27aqdm is the only 900 nit oled monitior

a tv isnt a monitor

because its a tv and not a monitor

you can use a tv as a monitor and a monitor as a tv, but it dosent change what it is

also the pg27aqdm is brighter than the c2

[lyric hatch]

Most of these gaming oled monitors are way higher refresh rates hard to bump brightness up

[vagrant pagoda]

not in oled

the pg27aqdm and its brothers the xeneon and lg27, are the only 240hz hdr oleds

there are lots of 120/144hz oled

wait

im backwards

its the aqdp and its 480hz

lol

abl makes all oleds into dhr400

youd need active cooling on a 27 oled for hdr1000

having a hdr1000 mode dosent mean it actally dose well

that isnt how that works

peak brightness for an oled only matters for the lighting of the room, because they get actually black

a hdr400 oled in a pitchblack room will look better than any hdr1000 backlit

also c2 isnt hdr1000

hdr400 on a backlit with no zone backlight would be useless

hdr400 on a zoned backlight is meh

hd400 on oled in a bright room is meh

hdr400 on an oled in a dark room is really good

because oleds actually turn off

and thus is difference from 0-400 is much higher than a backlit panels 0-400

double of what?

c2 peak is 800

yes at 25%

not 2%

and sustained, not peak

most hdr400 oleds will do 800-900 peak 2%

heat is the reason the c2 isnt hdr400

its like right under at around 370

Currently a flash sale on this, iirc it's compatible with Surface pens, which is what I have- is this a good buy?

[unkempt lake]

my xbox controller started drifting

@severe phoenix i'm just gonna join the 8bitdo ultimate gang

And not look back

I don't trust modern controllers without hall effect anymore

[severe phoenix]

Good idea.

Make sure it's the Ultimate Bluetooth variant

[sudden imp]

!!!!

I’m curious if someone could build the ad blocker into the browser itself.

[unkempt lake]

I got the 2.4 one with the stand

With hall effect

I'm fucking pissed tho

My controller should still have warranty

But microsoft is giving me the run around

[severe phoenix]

https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Bluetooth-Controller-Charging-Gaming-Console/dp/B0B9BGJVLL

This one right

[unkempt lake]

They say my serial number is too old and my warranty ended in january

When my controller was bought brand new in september 2023

[severe phoenix]

The normal 2.4 got an update for HE, so I guess it's fine

Well, it's Microsoft

[unkempt lake]

@severe phoenix https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0CPY7H952/ref=sbl_dpx_m_ca-pc-accessories-game-controllers_B0CX53MFVW_0?th=1&psc=1

Got the purple one

[severe phoenix]

Did you know if you buy an Xbox Elite controller, but don't own an Xbox, you can't use the Warranty?

And yeah that one shou;d be good

[unkempt lake]

My old xbox controller was purple

[severe phoenix]

Microsoft recommends using a friends Xbox to make a warranty claim if you don't own one

How fucking backwards are they

[unkempt lake]

I'm really bummed out i had a special edition controller

Stellar shift

[severe phoenix]

No clue, but you'll love this one

[severe phoenix]

The dock works as range extender

Fantastic controller

[unkempt lake]

I just loved the shade of purple on my controller

XD

[severe phoenix]

Not pink?

[unkempt lake]

It was a difficult choice

I feel like the pink isn't bright enough

[severe phoenix]

Alright

[unkempt lake]

I like the purple better xd

Like if it was like a neon pink

Hell yeah

Also the purple matches my wooting's keycaps

Important

[pastel nacelle]

@wheat plume ruk ruk

https://www.ebay.com/itm/126304263526

big sad the box has migu on it not the keebs

[gusty kiln]

I really wanted a topre before the wooting came along

[digital cliff]

i dunno in EU the warranty is with the vendor so you just take it back to where you bought it from and they replace it for you

[severe phoenix]

Well in the US, Microsoft will tell you to get fucked if you don't own an Xbox, as if you buy it and use it on PC, you essentially have no warranty

[unkempt lake]

@severe phoenix i cancelled my order

I'll get the ultimate bluetooth instead

So i can use it with my switch

I didn't know the 2.4 didn't also come with bluetooth

Sadly only black available

And white

Actually

The sticks have a more xbox like shape

On the 2.4

[severe phoenix]

Sticks are pretty similar, but the bluetooth is a nice fallback

It's a good controller, you'll enjoy it no doubt

[unkempt lake]

I'm torn

2.4 has better color + more xbox shaped sticks

And i really like the shape of the xbox sticks

I don't really need an extra switch controller

Eh i'll keep my order

I save like 10$ and realistically i won't use it with my switch

And i prefer this style of stick

Bluetooth has them like

Poking out

Like a pro controller

[topaz barn]

i literally got hall effect sticks for my xbox controller today

i got them modded when i sent in my GBA and 2DS for a repair

[unkempt lake]

How much did that cost

Curious because i have this beautiful controller just sitting here with a fucked stick

And ms customer service is refusing to honor my warranty

[topaz barn]

$25 for the joysticks and he didn't really take anything for installation because labor charges were made for the repairs

i got the service on Etsy

[unkempt lake]

Ehhh i'll just stick with getting an 8bitdo

[topaz barn]

it got Hall effect?

[steady sail]

A good quick question whats good about custom controllers?

[topaz barn]

damn the 8bitdo x Xbox looks good

[unkempt lake]

Ye

[topaz barn]

but i got two controllers already

ASUS ROG Raikiri Pro (the most mid controller) and an exclusive Xbox controller
