I mean, if they keep them there they dont need to find alternatives and business customers arent going to run valorant on airport machines like where crowdstrike would be on

so if they just care about enterprise user I could totally see them not caring

He'll do stuff to phones that no one in their right mind would do, and I guess people feel some sort of placebo effect from it.

[final flame]

I mean, it is nice knowing whether your device has a flaw with it's durability and just knowing that will prevent it from being used in a way that could break it

even if someone isn't trying to bend their phone, what do a lot of people do with their phones?
put them in their back pocket and sit down with them

I wish more tech had durability tests, having companies being held accountable in public for durability flaws is a way for consumers to know and for companies to improve

I take my phone out and mount it on my phone holder when driving, if I'm at a restaurant I place it on the table face down. I was there for bendgate

[vivid rampart]

yo, which wooting is better, 60 or 80, i dont care about sound, just performance for gaming and also is the 80 gonna come with the lekker 60 v2 switches or the v1?

[empty garnet]

Guys what’s a better headset than the hyperx cloud II? I want to replace mine with something better I’ve had them for about 5 years now lol

[final flame]

PC38x

[thin axle]

60 is easy to get, 80 is a preorder, may take awhile. You get v1.5's on the 60 unless you select module and select switches specifically, the 80 comes with the v2s. The 80 has 8 kHz polling, all other keyboards are 1 kHz polling.

[dull hollow]

so... its a iphone 15 with new camera (as always) and a dedicated photo touch sensor/button

[magic minnow]

I hope the cooling is better than the 15 for sure

I'm glad I live in the US

[dull hollow]

oh yeah forgot about that

i dont really notice it that much tbh

[magic minnow]

Yeah that's fair, especially if someone has a case

[vivid rampart]

idrc abt 8k cause i dont think its noticable, what are the difference between these switches? is it worth getting 80 for the v2, and is the angle thing on 80 a big game changer compared to the 60

[empty wren]

Do the pro iPhones have better cooling cuz having titanium does not help em. Fastest point of escape is the copper coil in the back followed by the screen which is only because it is so thin.

[magic minnow]

Supposedly the new A18 pro chip is meant to be 30% cooler

[empty wren]

Oh well okay

[dull hollow]

it was supposed to be in the 15 but they had issues with it iirc

[magic minnow]

Ohhhhh I didn't know that

[dull hollow]

i really dont remember exactly what it was but there was something about the 15s were weird and they had to change it last second

and i cant seem to find any info online about it

[magic minnow]

No you're good, especially with the new iPhone trending right now it would be hard to find something like that

[glass stag]

For some reason my apostrophe key: '

Doesnt type on my keyboard with a Scandinavian layout.
It worked when I switched to Canadian French keyboard layout, but I want my keyboard to just work.

It used to work and then just suddenly stopped.
The key still works fine to type *

I figure its a windows bug, but does anyone here know how to fix it?

I reset my keyboard and it still doesnt work, so its not on Wootings end it seems

[unkempt lake]

i have no idea wtf a scandinavian keyboard is supposed to type when that key is pressed but there's a lot of scandinavians on here so maybe we'll get an answer

xD

i think nico is probably just crazy

[glass stag]

Apostrophe having ass

[sullen tinsel]

[unkempt lake]

i tried it on my pc and it works when i set my language to danish lol

[latent mural]

hello, uh i need help putting my stablizers back together any helpers? lol

[unkempt lake]

I'm kinda stumped

It works on the login screen

It works in safe mode

But not in regular windows

quality windows bug

[quaint dew]

lool

[quaint dew]

either get pc37x/pc38x or get separate headphones and mic

[oblique solstice]

tbh i only used artisan

they are the best pads

other than them id recommend LGG

[frozen ingot]

should just be the key lower left to enter

[hasty thunder]

interesting... So even Samsungs older phones like the S22U are capable of charging with 45W

and even the A52, which should not be able to at all

so i guess the limit wasn't physically set, but only software limited

[rough osprey]

s22u was advertised with 45w

a52 wasnt 🤔

[vague schooner]

heya everyone i just got my wooting 60he+ keyboard, lets say if i were to use a different cable than the one that came with the box, will it affect the performance? such as the rapid trigger and such

[alpine patio]

depends on the quality of the cable

also try to be shorter than 2m

[vague schooner]

oh, so the longer it is it will affect the performance?

aight thanks!

[hasty thunder]

the S22U was advertised with 25W

i should know, because i was eyeing for it for quite a long time. Wanted a phone again with an integrated pen without the necessity to have a freaking case for it AND the S22U released a day before my 30th birthday

[leaden kiln]

Pen is so 💀
Only feature I found useful is putting a note on the aod

[final flame]

yea, it's not the best, taking actual notes on a note isn't the best use for the pen
the pen is best for using as a remote for the camera or other apps

phone is too small combined with the pen being too small it's hard to grip

I mostly used it whenever a design idea comes to mind, it prevents me from having a bunch of sticky notes in my pocket at the end of the day

[leaden kiln]

My phone is a bit bigger than a note/ultra, it's a fold, but even keeping the pen on me all day every day I never use it
My father doesn't like writing on his phone so he says he's been wanting a phone with a pen for a while

[frozen ingot]

my note 2 was one of my most used tools for the first few years of our company, did so many product design drafts with the pen on that thing that ended up being used

but in classic samsung fashion they had a great feature and then removed it for later gen devices

[rough osprey]

every website and news page i could find mentions 45w

from early 2022

it was just bad cuz it wasnt really faster

[hasty thunder]

i like the pen actually. I can mark stuff on Discord with it, i can use it remotely for media control, taking notes, sketch stuff quickly and much more

i can even spot fake links by hovering the pen over a suspicious link

[leaden kiln]

It's neat that you can hover over some stuff, like tab previews in chrome
But it's not useful enough to be justified for me

[hasty thunder]

well, for me the S Pen became a tool i'm using daily and can't imagine a life without that feature

[frozen ingot]

I don't need a pen much anymore but it was invaluable back then

if I had an idea I could just jot it down on the spot instantly

[leaden kiln]

Yeah I could definitely see it being useful, I thought I would like it a lot more than I did

[valid sundial]

does anyone have a problem using analog in a game? I have a issue that only occurs when using analog movement. When I look around in a game the mouse wont stay locked in my game window, it goes over to the other monitor and stuff. I have tried windows + p and disabling the other monitor but no luck. When I disable analog movement i no longer have this issue

Interesting what they've been able to cram into that

[vivid rampart]

guys as a competitive fps player, would u guys reccommened the wooting60he or the new wooting80 coming out? (idc about 8k)

[ashen spindle]

whatever size you prefer

[vivid rampart]

i prefer 60 but the comfort of 60 is worse compared to the 80 right? cause of the angle, and the 80 will have less wobbly switches while the 60 is wobbly isnt it

[ashen spindle]

you can just get the same switches on the 60

[vivid rampart]

its more expensive though

[ashen spindle]

and if you prefer a 60 or 80 layout is preference

[vivid rampart]

yeah but the 60 doesnt have those angle thingies under while the 80 has em

doesnt that mean more fatigue over time?

[ashen spindle]

preference

[vivid rampart]

so, theres no mechanical advantage between the 80 and 60, its just different switches, layout?

is the 60 gonna keep on getting hardware updates, or are they gonna discontinue it at some point, because alot of companies promise that and then stop

[steady sail]

Gonna get updates

[ashen spindle]

they still support the first gen boards with non HE switches

so no its not getting discontinued

[vivid rampart]

alright, i guess ill go with the 60 since i never see a pro player use 80 ngl

[ashen spindle]

and yes there isnt any advantage it's just whatever layout you prefer and all that

no you should base it on what YOU prefer to use

[dull hollow]

because none of them are delivered yet unless youre talking about other boards

[vivid rampart]

yeah ive been using %100 my whole life and i need something smaller

[vivid rampart]

im talking about other boards, for sure if it was any good for gaming they would have used it before wooting came out w the rapid triggers

[steady sail]

A quick question do u use arrow keys and f keys ?

If yes go with the 80he

[vivid rampart]

f keys yes but i can manage with the function key, i dont mind, arrow keys sometimes when typing but very rarely

[dull hollow]

i also came from a 100% to a 60 and it was relatively easy to transition

[vivid rampart]

yeah im just worried about how they improved some comfort things for the 80 cause of the feedback they got from the 60

like the angle shit

is the wooting60 causing any discomfort or fatigue after gaming for multiple hours

like over 5-6

[ashen spindle]

depends on the person

its the same as any other keyboard some people can do 24 hours some people need a break after 1

there isnt any magic difference that changes a lot for most people, even different tilt angles are the same for most people

[vivid rampart]

i get what u mean but is it really preference? like bro a keyboard where u cant rest ur forearm must be uncomfortable after time

[ashen spindle]

yes because some people dont rest in on they keyboard and hover above it?

[vivid rampart]

do u think anyone in the pro scene would switch to a %80? cause i dont feel like itd be good for gaming unless its for buy binds or mmorpg games

[steady sail]

I was resting my wrist on the table since i got the tofu60 redux case i use wrist rest bc the tofu’s angle is high

[vivid rampart]

never tried a %60, since u got a wooting60 though, is the angle high?

[umbral heron]

Why wouldn't it?

[steady sail]

Its low

It’s relatively low

[vivid rampart]

takes up more space for keys that arent used in fps games

[ashen spindle]

and people still use fullsize so that clearly isnt an issue

[umbral heron]

It's only horizontal space that matters in this case
And 80HE is barely wider than 60HE

[vivid rampart]

so what, is the 80 a better purchase for competitive gaming cause it has more features, and its newer?

[umbral heron]

Both are good, but it more of a choice of which layout you prefer

[ashen spindle]

is it really that hard to believe it's just a preference of what layout you want to use

[vivid rampart]

yes, it has good features that the 60 doesnt have while taking up more space which i dont want

[steady sail]

Then go with the 60he

[vivid rampart]

and what about the l45 and l60 switches, is it just a sound difference?

[alpine patio]

just feel

[steady sail]

L60’s are like mx reds l45’s are like mx silvers

[vivid rampart]

no idea what you mean by that, first time getting a keyboard worth its price

never modded anything in my whole life

[steady sail]

U never used a mechanical keyboard?

[vivid rampart]

na

[steady sail]

Ah

[vivid rampart]

so do i just go for the l60 v2 since its the newest?

and will the keyboard come stock with the v2 or is it a thing ill have to buy seperately

[steady sail]

The keyboard gonna arrive with v1.5’s

[vivid rampart]

is that enough, i thought id need the v2's since theyre less wobbly n shit

[alpine patio]

which btw its essentially the same as the v2s

[vivid rampart]

oh wdym

[dull hollow]

its how heavy the springs are in that switch

[reef patrol]

V1. Old switch, wobbly as the folks say
V1.5 Improved switch, made by one manufacturer
V2 Improved switch (and a bit more), made by a different manufacturer - only preinstalled in 80HE and available as loose switch packs)

[vivid rampart]

would any human notice it while focused on the game though?

[alpine patio]

yes

[dull hollow]

i would say its quite noticiable after a long session

[steady sail]

Yes u can notice it

[umbral heron]

Yeah, the difference of 10~15g is very noticeable

[vivid rampart]

is there a enough difference between the v1.5 and the v2 for someone to upgrade it or would u say its like getting a superlight 2 when u have superlight 1?

[vivid rampart]

so l45 better then im guessing

for long sessions

[umbral heron]

Nope, that's preference thing

Some people like softer switches, some like stiffer ones

[vivid rampart]

does the l45 have v2 or v1.5, how does it exactly work

[reef patrol]

What are you buying?

A 60HE?

[dull hollow]

you really just have to try it out, theres no way anyone other then you can decide if its better or worse

[vivid rampart]

yes

[umbral heron]

v1.5s come with pre-assembled 60HE and 2HE
v2s come with pre-assembled 80HE and in packs

[vivid rampart]

dang, that sucks cause ive never tried any of these things in my life before and i dont know the differences, all i know is that my current steelseries keyboard takes alot of power to press keys if ud ask me

[vivid rampart]

but it comes with the l60 v1.5 right? ill have to spend extra buck for the l45

[dull hollow]

do you know the product name?

[vivid rampart]

ill find it for u 1 sec

[umbral heron]

If you with preassembled one it comes with L60s
If you go with module you can pick either L45s or L60s

[alpine patio]

[dull hollow]

there are v1 and v2 L45 on Wootings website

[vivid rampart]

whats ur point here

[alpine patio]

whats that steel series that ur using

the name?

[vivid rampart]

steelseries apex raw

just found it

[alpine patio]

damn mb

its so old

[vivid rampart]

yeah, bought it from a friend

when i first got my pc

[alpine patio]

btw u can get the 45s with ur 60he

just buy the module

and select the l45 v2

[vivid rampart]

isnt it more expensive when adding to cart using the module?

[alpine patio]

slightly

but cheaper if u want the l45s anyway

[vivid rampart]

the l60s are definitely lighter compared to what i got right

[alpine patio]

no?

i dont think so

[vivid rampart]

maybe the l60 v1.5 will be enough?? idk man, never used anything like that as i was saying

[alpine patio]

its a membrane keyboard

what u had

[dull hollow]

he'll have to buy a case

[alpine patio]

ya ofc

[umbral heron]

Try L60s first, if you want to change switches to other ones in the future, you can do so in like 30 minutes

[alpine patio]

many people use the l60s anyway

you cant go wrong

[vivid rampart]

alright, ill check the price differences between using module and buying it stock, and the price for 45's and ill make up my mind depending on that

[dull hollow]

im still using v1.5's

[alpine patio]

you act like its old

[dull hollow]

or well more like waiting for Raw HEs 40gs to come in..

[alpine patio]

oo nice

just got mine today

[umbral heron]

L80v2s

[frozen ingot]

my boards are both on v1

[dull hollow]

[vivid rampart]

cant check shit rn cause in a ranked match

[vivid rampart]

whats the difference between etched and dobule shot keycaps?

[steady sail]

etched ??

[umbral heron]

Laser-etched ABS

[steady sail]

yeah i searched it up and the first link was for the wooting site

[vivid rampart]

is it important to have either one when i dont travel w it?

[steady sail]

u need keycaps and i would just go with the double shot pbt keycaps

[dull hollow]

does anyone have any experience with truthear zero IEMs? Are they good for gaming and occasionally for music?

[steady sail]

i have zero reds

[vivid rampart]

is there a reason??

i never travel w my keyboard so the durability wouldnt really matter, i just need something that is yk, good

[steady sail]

i dont travel either but the double shot pbt keycaps are just better the legends never gonna come off

[vivid rampart]

how long would the legends last normally?

[steady sail]

its up to the user

[dull hollow]

do you like them? ive never used iems, ive only ever used closed back headphones

[steady sail]

i switched from a closed back wireless headset to iem, and i have to say the IEM's preforms way better

i using them both for gaming and music as well

[dull hollow]

is there a major difference between blue and reds? ~$10 difference

[vivid rampart]

minimum 8 hours a day lets say

[steady sail]

i never used blues soo dont know

[steady sail]

yeah u can remove the legends on etched keycaps easily in 3 months or so lol

[balmy vector]

Reds have more bass iirc?

[dull hollow]

ah okay, well thanks anyways. ill look into it

[vivid rampart]

what about the other

[steady sail]

u cant

atleast i never managed to wear down my legends on the double shot pbt keycaps that i own for a year atleast

[dull hollow]

from the graph comparisons blue has way more

it seems to be that red is overall the more perfered of the two

[balmy vector]

Oh maybe i misremembered then

[leaden kiln]

red also comes with an impedance adapter to boost the bass a bit

[dull hollow]

what about the KZ ZS10 Pro?~~ its on sale atm~~ it was only for the color

[balmy vector]

I was thinking personally of grabbing a 560s just to try em out

[steady sail]

i just dont wanna go with headsets anymore after a month the ear cups the inside of them are dirty as hell and cleaning doesnt help with it

[leaden kiln]

I think kz has some some questionable/scummy stuff, I'm not up to date on that drama but I would be wary of it
I remember hearing a lot about it maybe like a year ish ago

[dull hollow]

i just searched about it and yeah, reddit seems to be pretty disappointed

[vivid rampart]

damn alright, i mean only the WASD would wear down w the other one right?

[proven valley]

why start with hd560s

start with hifiman arya organics

👍

should be a nice starter set

[balmy vector]

Perhaps, just wanna try stuff out with the new knowledge i have with my pc38x

[digital cliff]

because the HD560s are accessible, inexpensive, inoffensive

[leaden kiln]

I'm looking to maybe get the he400se

[distant tapir]

Both that the Arya Organic are offensive imo.

Both have sharp treble. But at least I managed to fix the 560S with EQ. Didn't manage to fully eliminate the Arya sharpness.

Hifiman are quite incompetent a lot of the time.

[digital cliff]

based on measurements it doesn't look like it has sharp treble..

[distant tapir]

It was very high up. Some kind of resonance.

[digital cliff]

I haven't tried 560s but I have had other sennies and they don't seem to have sharp treble so maybe you're just sensitive to it?

I have never heard anyone else say this

some beyers have "sharp treble" according to most people

sennies almost never

[distant tapir]

Maybe it's my unit.

Look at this:

The mountain on sample 2 here is certainly how it feels like. Get this sharp zing feeling in my ear quite easily with them.

I EQed that region down and it was fine. Good even.

[digital cliff]

I'm really not sure what's up with that measurement

from another tester

[distant tapir]

That exact range where it's elevated is where my fatigue comes from.

[digital cliff]

based on all the other measurements it's not elevated at all

so by that logic you should have the same fatigue with almost every other headphone

[distant tapir]

I know the 560S has a newer revision. Not entirely sure which I have.

[digital cliff]

nevermind the ones that actually have an elevated treble

[distant tapir]

Well I don't. I don't think the measurement is incorrect.

[digital cliff]

I'm not saying you are wrong, I'm just saying your experience doesn't reflect the hundreds of other people and the hundreds of other measurements taken of this headphone

based on that outlier status I don't know if your advice is sound in this particular case

[distant tapir]

If other models do not have that issue then I'd easily recommend a 560S over the Arya Organic.

[thin axle]

I think he'd enjoy the DT1990's more.

[distant tapir]

Solderdude finds the 5k peak audible although clearly not as much as me.

(If I were to guess I'd say it probably comes down to my specific unit)

[thin axle]

Return it for warranty repair?

[distant tapir]

I doubt it would count for anything like that.

[thin axle]

Have you tried a blind a/b test to confirm that?

[distant tapir]

To confirm what.

[thin axle]

That your headset is broken.

[distant tapir]

Can headphones be returned for unit variation? I'd guess not.

Besides I bought it a long time ago. It wasn't costly.

[distant tapir]

iFone 16 looks nice but

1. Too big
2. 60 Hz unless you get the Pro which is even bigger
3. Terrible language support

If iPhone 16 Mini with 120 Hz existed I would easily buy it.

[spare wedge]

Honesty I’m fine with 60hz on my iphone

[distant tapir]

I would have been had I not owned a 120 Hz one now. I don't want to regress.

[spare wedge]

It’s the best 60hz screen I have witnessed so far.

[frozen ingot]

same, high refresh rate not a feature I feel like spending extra for on a phone

[distant tapir]

What does that mean. Apple BFI?!

[spare wedge]

Everything actually looks so god damn smooth for a 60hz screen

[distant tapir]

Looking at my iPhone 12 is an eye sore compared to my Zenfone 10.

[leaden kiln]

60Hz is better ! turn that refresh rate down 👇 🗣️📢 💪

[leaden kiln]

nightman (60Hz enjoyer)

[frozen ingot]

I mean unless you're gaming having higher refresh is mostly a battery drain imo

I don't really care if the UI gets slightly smoother or whatever

[distant tapir]

It looks a lot better when scrolling which is what I spend half of my time doing.

[spare wedge]

I’ve seen 120hz phones myself as well, but 60hz on my current iPhone is smooth as well

[frozen ingot]

I can live with scrolling being a bit blurrier on my phone

[leaden kiln]

Imagine being able to tell any difference in the first place

[frozen ingot]

oh there's definitely a difference, I just don't think its worth it on a damn phone

on my computer monitor though, definitely

[spare wedge]

Yeah I can’t do 60hz on my desktop

Not even 120hz as much anymore. I love 240hz

[distant tapir]

240 Hz iPhones when?

[leaden kiln]

I'll turn on my 120Hz again and see if I can tell any difference :copium:

[frozen ingot]

having my main 144hz monitor next to a 60hz is night and day

games feel laggy on 60hz even if the fps is way higher than 60 at all times

and am not even a competitive sweatlord, it just feels bad to look at

[distant tapir]

Sample-and-hold makes 60 fps looks stuttery and like it's vibrating. I have demonstration footage.

60 fps on my CRT looks very smooth and of course crystal clear.

[thin axle]

I use 120 hertz myself. Can't wait for 540 hz to go mainstream!

[frozen ingot]

it looks better on crt for sure but I wouldn't call any crt crystal clear, they always slightly fuzzy

[distant tapir]

This vibration is how it looks to our eyes (just not slowed down).

[frozen ingot]

you don't get that horrid sharp pixel look on a crt though that ruins any old game on an lcd

People stop playing mobile games when?

[ashen spindle]

what? 240 comes when people stop playing games? that makes no sense

[unkempt lake]

Normally im skeptical of everything he says but it all matches up with mindfactory's numbers and what youtubers have seen with their affiliate links

Also this isn't like... a hardware leak

It's sales numbers

Mlid hardware leaks are jokes at best xd

[ashen spindle]

yeah but if hes used as source that's the same

[unkempt lake]

For this topic im not too worried about it. We ain't talking about performance predictions we're talking about sales numbers and welp generally distributor stuff is the one thing he tends to get correct

[ashen spindle]

like either hes using accurate numbers and then use those as sources or its the same nonexisten credibility from him lol

and no he has multiple times been extremely wrong about supply stuff lol

[still loom]

[unkempt lake]

Still decently right i'd argue over his other leaks which are frankly memeworthy

[ashen spindle]

no he's just as wrong there if not more lol

[distant tapir]

I'm not sure.

[gusty nexus]

I only have the "old one" and not a lot of people said that the hd560s changed that much 🤷

[unkempt lake]

@ashen spindle https://www.techspot.com/article/2893-amd-zen-5-cpu-pricing/

Hbu reported on it as well

[fair gull]

i just recently bought a pair like 2 weeks ago or 3 and they dont have any sharp treble at all

[distant tapir]

Post in thread 'New version of Sennheiser HD 560S (!)' https://audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/new-version-of-sennheiser-hd-560s.40927/post-1729024

[ashen spindle]

I'm not saying its wrong because clearly zen4 sales went up but it's for one not a surprise secondly doesnt mean it makes sense quoting a notorious liar as source lol

[gusty nexus]

Do you like them ?

[distant tapir]

I just have a bad unit apparently.

[gusty nexus]

maybe or maybe not 🤷

[distant tapir]

I'm not a very treble sensitive person. But my 560S have really bad treble in the 5 kHz area as you see in Crinacle's sample 2.

(I haven't measured them so idk how elevated it exactly is but it makes for a quite fatiguing listen)

[unkempt lake]

Dunno

Who would buy a brand new 580 in 2024

Like... you can just buy used

[steady sail]

and its even cheaper and u can spray paint it to white

[reef patrol]

Not even an ITX slim model.

Looks the same but with a USB-C replaced with USB-A.

[late grove]

Yes

Have to say MSI really upped their aesthetic this time around.

[steady sail]

me with this

[late grove]

Peak

Honestly my MSI board has been behaving very nicely recently. Maybe I will stick to MSI moving forward... But eh at lot of things can still change in 2 years.

[frozen ingot]

I'm sure msi is decent these days but the image of how fuckin cheap and crappy they looked and were in the 00s still stays with me

[steady sail]

tho i wish for more usb ports but im fine otherwise

[late grove]

Yeah we definitely have come a long way since then.

Their laptops are unfortunately still godawful.

[distant tapir]

Let me guess, you need more.

[steady sail]

i have the same amount of ports lol

[late grove]

Honestly, huge amount of USB ports isn't necessary. You can always use hubs.

Now in this case being limited to 5gbps can suck.. but still.

[steady sail]

i mean i want like 2 more not much

[frozen ingot]

I have a 7 port powered hub on my desk

[late grove]

I will soon have one. Waiting for Aliexpress to ship it.
I will use an optical USB cable to my PC then a 7 port 10gbps powered HUB.

[steady sail]

i mean Amazon is not a thing in here anyway xd

[gusty kiln]

can probably find something similar on your local electronic shop

or even cheaper on aliexpress

[sudden imp]

I hope we continue this trend of more usb c ports. I can’t wait for the day when I never use any other proprietary cable again

[late grove]

🫡

[leaden kiln]

queue that one asrock board that has only usb c and no usb a

[misty matrix]

some of the x870 boards are getting close

mostly c

[halcyon moss]

I have 0 usbc devices that'd I'd plug into the back of my pc

[leaden kiln]

https://videocardz.com/newz/asrock-next-gen-z890-taichi-aqua-motherboard-doesnt-have-a-single-usb-type-a-port

no image embed

[steady sail]

i mean usb-c is still far for become mainstream on mobos

[old marlin]

very cursed io

[empty wren]

Does need like two USB a ports or the PS2 port

[steady sail]

where ps2 ports

[empty wren]

Well I mean they should include that for mouse and keyboard

[steady sail]

only ps2 ports on mobo 👀

[empty wren]

Noooo

Not what I mean😵‍💫

[steady sail]

xD

[fair gull]

id support that trend but without wifi

[empty wren]

Not everyone is lucky enough to have ethernet

[halcyon moss]

Atleast the c ports are spaced apart far, so converters will actually fit

[fair gull]

thats not my main issue

its that id like to choose what hogs pcie lanes

[empty wren]

Are there not like versions of the boards that have wifi and other no wifi

[fair gull]

not always

i havent looked into this specific model

[ashen spindle]

m2 slots for wifi cards are keyed differently so they only take half lanes so its more efficient lane usage

and it's only via the chipset anyway

[fair gull]

is it guaranteed chipset only?

[fair gull]

yeah but an x1 or x4 slot means i can just put in smth completely different where id maybe like the lanes

like an nvme adapter card

or just a gpu on x1/x4 speed

[ashen spindle]

if they would take lanes away from either gpu or primary nvme people would crucify the board if it's even on market lol

or like with am5 they couldnt even do it since that mandates things like tb4, pcie5 for primary nvme etc.

[fair gull]

how is that enforced though

[old marlin]

AMD specifices it for their chipsets

[ashen spindle]

if its not naming conform they cant sell it under that brand name

[fair gull]

i see

[sudden imp]

Beauty

[steep creek]

didn’t that asrock board have some funny issue with vrms. i read that while ago here

[sudden imp]

I don't think that board is released yet

[ashen spindle]

not issue just funny in the sense of overkill vrms on a watercooling board but nothing to cool the chipset

[sudden imp]

I'm so happy that the iphone is switching to USB-C, so many devices that don't use it should

[pale sigil]

i love your pfp

[sudden imp]

TY

[steep creek]

aha that was it

[vivid rampart]

yo im gonna buy a new mouse in 2 days

trying to decide between sora v2, superlight 2 or any other mouses u guys might recommened

i need some help deciding cause i cant even decide between the two, sora v2 is lighter but only 1k polling rate while the superlight 2 is 60 ish grams but supports up to 4k (realistically id only use up to 2k i think, idk, maybe sometimes 4k)

[steep creek]

superlight is bigger than sora so i guess it depends on your handsize. you can compare sizes here https://www.eloshapes.com/mouse/compare

[vivid rampart]

both of the sizes are fine for me, i use a rival 3 which is bigger than all of them and sometimes i think id like it to be smaller

[steep creek]

im not the best person to ask about mice as i just use a g502. maybe someone else can offer more help

[vivid rampart]

hmm okay

[steady sail]

imo 8k is pointless u can get good on 1k as well

[vivid rampart]

yeah ofcourse, id never even touch 8k, battery drainer honestly

[steady sail]

i mean anything higher than 1k is pointless

[vivid rampart]

but if i ever was to higher my polling rate, id only go up to 4k which im not even sure about, itd most likely be 2k

[raw zephyr]

high polling on a wireless mouse is pointless imo, just drains battery

[vivid rampart]

isnt 2k alright though

[raw zephyr]

still drains twice as fast

1k is already really good

[vivid rampart]

alright well im still unsure what mouse to get

[raw zephyr]

i like the lamzu atlantis mini and the egg op1 8k

[vivid rampart]

i only heard of the atlantis

[raw zephyr]

i see you mentioned the superlight 2, i would stay away from that mouse personally, didnt like it and the scroll is still terrible

my copy had faulty m3 switch and couple of my friends have faulty encoders

[vivid rampart]

why does %32 of the pro scene use superlight 1 and %11 use the superlight 2 then if its so bad

[raw zephyr]

sponsors

[vivid rampart]

youre the first person ive seen that said anything bad about the mouse

[raw zephyr]

i saw mansen typing, how many superlights did you go through? i forgot 😅

[steep creek]

my superlight also had scroll wheel issues. i changed to g502 after that haha

[steady sail]

i mean i would stay away from any logitech products

[reef patrol]

I have... three

[steep creek]

but battery life on the logi mice ive had have always been great, so thats nice

[raw zephyr]

eh thought it was more 😛

its a good mouse, just doesnt fit me and you should keep the scroll wheel issues in mind ;)

at least logi just gives you a new mouse

[vivid rampart]

wdym

so if its faulty, they give a new one?

also the place id buy it from is irl and they have warranty, if there is a problem w the scroll they would either fix it or replace it wouldnt they

[steep creek]

they gave me a new one, this was from a local store though and not logitech directly

[vivid rampart]

did it have the same scroll problem

[steep creek]

yes

[vivid rampart]

wdym by scroll wheel issues though

[steep creek]

basically if scrolled up, it would scroll down
if i scrolled down, it would scroll up

[lyric hatch]

Probably dust getting in the encoder, most common issue with them

[raw zephyr]

randomly*

[steep creek]

happened almost every time towards the end on my unit

yea could have been dust. i tried cleaning it a couple times, but issue came back few days after

[lyric hatch]

Can sometimes fix it by turning your mouse upside and running the scrollwheel fast up and down your mousepad - usually comes back though eventually

[raw zephyr]

my superlight 1 is still holding up after these years surprisingly, no scroll issue, just got a bit yellow after all these years 😅 superlight 2 i got on release though, 2 days and the m3 switch broke

[steep creek]

nice

i had two, one copy had this scroll wheel issue
the other ones side button started double clicking haha

[lyric hatch]

As if the mushy side buttons weren't bad enough as is

[steep creek]

lol yeah

[raw zephyr]

anyways, typing on phone is getting annoying, take care guys, gn

[steady sail]

gn

[steep creek]

goodnight

[sudden imp]

"please renew your clicking subscription or your mouse will stop functioning permanently"

[lyric hatch]

Gnite

[vivid rampart]

ive watched a bunch of optimum mouse videos and he never mentioned any problems like these

[steep creek]

wont happen for everyone. if you want the mouse, by all means get it

just sharing my personal experiences

[steady sail]

ever since i switched from roccat kone xp air to the TB burst II air it is great lul

[vivid rampart]

what about the sora v2?

[steady sail]

sure it was weird to go from 99 gramm to 47 gramm but it was worth it LUL

[vivid rampart]

also the people i know that have used it havent mentioned anything about scroll issues either so irdk'

no idea why all of u had those problems

[steady sail]

i mean the scroll wheel issue is rare but it can happen after u using it

or before u get it

[vivid rampart]

ngl the superlight also seems heavy in todays standards, ik the finalmouses are shitty but theyre hella light

[lyric hatch]

Wouldn't say it's rare it's probably one of the most common issues among most mice

[vivid rampart]

so its not a superlight thing

[steady sail]

i meant rare that u got the mouse with it

[lyric hatch]

Some mice tend to be more prone to it

[steady sail]

not like its rare to get it

[rough osprey]

superlight best mouse

[vivid rampart]

isnt it heavy in todays standards

67 grams when there are 30-40 gram mouses

[rough osprey]

67?

bit below 60

[vivid rampart]

57 then i think

[rough osprey]

or below 50 with some mods

[steep creek]

idk i use a 102 gram mouse and think its comfy

[thin axle]

Did you try placing your mouse in a ultrasonic cleaner at 40-80 kHz?

[vivid rampart]

60 grams

[rough osprey]

but the lighter mice are also smaller

[steep creek]

no i just rma'd it and asked for money back

[rough osprey]

so cant really compare

[thin axle]

I want a levitating mouse. When is wooting making it? 😓

[vivid rampart]

finalmouse fucks up over time but for comparision, its big and 37 grams though

[steady sail]

i mean my mouse is the same size as the rival 3

[vivid rampart]

yeah exactly, size doesnt really matter for the weight anymore idk

there are big light mouses

[lyric hatch]

Superlight was the opposite of finalmouse advertised as 63grams but was usually around ~60

[vivid rampart]

wdym the opposite

[rough osprey]

someone gotta make a lighter superlight then

[vivid rampart]

yeah, im thinking of buying the superlight 2 but the only thing making me think twice is the weight in todays standards

[vivid rampart]

do u use superlight 1 or 2

[rough osprey]

2

[lyric hatch]

Finalmouse usually has lower advertised weight then what actual weight is

[rough osprey]

?

[sudden imp]

Has final mouse finalized the ULX yet?

[balmy vector]

They made a pro

[rough osprey]

they ulx got heavier multiple times

[vivid rampart]

still lighter than superlights, the only problem w finalmouse is how limited edition they are, if ur mouse gets fucked for any reason or starts double clicking, youre cooked

[lyric hatch]

Idk do they finalize anything QC is always sus

[rough osprey]

and they expensive af

still no 8k or?

[balmy vector]

I think they finalize their reports on what they improve, but somehow its still the same

[sudden imp]

Honestly the viper v3 pro seems like a really good mouse but I can’t stand razer software

[rough osprey]

i cant stand the shape

seems like a solid option if you like the shape tho

[thin axle]

I bought the deathadder (wired) last week. The wired one. Kinda want to see if the shape works out for me.

[sudden imp]

I think finalmouses shape is really good but they haven’t seemed to finalize their products.

[sudden imp]

You like it?

[vivid rampart]

i really dont care about the price as long as the product doesnt fuck up and lives up to the expectations

[balmy vector]

When they finally get around to making their centerpiece keyboard i will sit peacefully knowing i wont get it

[thin axle]

Still waiting. Will have tomorrow 🙂

[rough osprey]

i mean you can get similar performing products for less

[vivid rampart]

honestly man, im willing to pay anything like i said, i just want the performance im looking for in a mice

[sudden imp]

I don’t think that will ever release

[balmy vector]

I give it 10 years

[sudden imp]

Logistical nightmare of a product

Probably LOL

[rough osprey]

what performance?

[vivid rampart]

light, wireless, supports higher polling rate (realistically i think id only use up to 2k)

[thin axle]

I want the XM2 8K with swappable buttons. But endgame gear releases so slowww. 😑

[rough osprey]

should be really easy to find something then

[vivid rampart]

oh also claw grip

[steady sail]

im just gonna wait for pulsar custom mouse builder

[rough osprey]

this month

[thin axle]

They said that last month.

[balmy vector]

Wlmouse is getting up there, cheese grater but i enjoy mine

[thin axle]

They even had a pre-order. Then decided to delete it.

[vivid rampart]

so what are y'all saying i should get?

[rough osprey]

waiting for their carbon fibre mouse

[balmy vector]

Honestly if you hate holes, sora v2

[rough osprey]

g502

[thin axle]

I would try budget wired mouses for the shape. And if wireless is really important. Wait longer 🤔

[rough osprey]

sora and high polling rates uhmm

[vivid rampart]

yeah i saw that, the 4k sora is near impossible to get ur hands on

even fucking tenz hasnt got his hands on it yet

[rough osprey]

you could try some atk ones

[vivid rampart]

got no problems w holes at all, like i said, shape doesnt matter as long as i can claw grip and play on it for long and supports the performance i mentioned

[rough osprey]

the f1 extreme for example

maybe it got better qc

[sudden imp]

What’s that?

[rough osprey]

although sensor performance should still improve this year

[vivid rampart]

extreme isnt in stoc

stock

[rough osprey]

yep

[steady sail]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sPloUBpw14

[sudden imp]

From some angles it seems uncomfortable I personally wish it was more or less holes instead of giant gaps

[thin axle]

Beast has some nice mouses. I think pricing structure is pretty wild on mouses right now. Some cost about the same as a keyboard...

[vivid rampart]

i dont trust beast x, saw a optimum review about it

[rough osprey]

lol

[balmy vector]

Understandable, i like to spin it around with the big hole in the middle when im not doing anything

[rough osprey]

bro just bricked his mouse

[sudden imp]

Neat!

[steady sail]

like im just gonna wait for this LOL

[sudden imp]

If they don’t have a shape you’d want it’d be pretty tough ngl

[thin axle]

How much custom can they really do with a pulsar mouse?

[sudden imp]

But it seems cool

[rough osprey]

maybe ill try xm2 4k

[vivid rampart]

i cant wait im on a wired mouse, im willing to change it in a year or so again though

[sudden imp]

Their claw shapes will probably get a lot of use

[thin axle]

Not out yet. They won't provide any updates or eta. Might be 8+ months.

[steady sail]

wired mouses still great

[vivid rampart]

not for me, i dont like how i can feel the wire sometimes

[thin axle]

Do you use a bungee?

[rough osprey]

max said about a month after the 8k

[steady sail]

i mean i have a few roccat cables so they are light as hell

[vivid rampart]

no and i dont want one

i rather get a wireless mouse

[rough osprey]

good

dont let the wired mafia get you

[thin axle]

Sure. But.. even your wireless will need a charge now and then... 😆

[vivid rampart]

i rather charge a mouse every 90 hours instead of miss a flick cause of the tension from the cable

[steady sail]

clean ur space LOL

[vivid rampart]

its not about cleaning it, id need a massive desk

id rather buy a new mouse than a desk

[steady sail]

[vivid rampart]

@rough osprey any other mouse ud recommened?

[rough osprey]

nah

[vivid rampart]

superlights good but its old ykwim, the weight is kinda heavy in todays standard isnt it

[rough osprey]

i just keep going back to superlight

[rough osprey]

ye but shape....

[compact relic]

I keep getting mine stuck in random places aswell, defo getting a wireless one next

[lyric hatch]

Lots of options just going to be down to personal preference on the shape you prefer

[steady sail]

i mean yeah

[vivid rampart]

i dont care about shape man i said it 3 times, all i care about is the performance, i need it to be light so that i can play with less tension in my forearm

[rough osprey]

shape also affects tension

[lyric hatch]

Well performance difference isn't really there between the mice which is why we all talk about things that do matter like shape

[steady sail]

how can people aim from forearm

[vivid rampart]

low sens

youre meant to use both ur wrist and forearm to aim as efficiently as possible

[steady sail]

im fine with only wrist aiming xd

[rough osprey]

and fingers

[vivid rampart]

depends on the games u play, mousepad u use aswell

if ur playing apex with high sens on a glass pad, then thats fine

if ur playing valorant with low sens, u need both

[steady sail]

im on 1200 dpi on cloth pad

[vivid rampart]

what game and what elo

[steady sail]

even when i was on 400 or 600 dpi i was still aiming from wrist

never cared about rank and elo so idk

valorant ranked and apex ranked is too toxic for my likings

[vivid rampart]

yeah, then in ur case its about comfort

alot of people are more comfortable aiming only forearm or only wrist, building the habit of both takes so much time

[steady sail]

since i was 5 i was using wrist aim

soo yeah its a habit for me

[mellow idol]

are there any mic and interface for under £100 that sounds quite good?

[lyric hatch]

Probably better off to just get a decent usb mic at that price point

[mellow idol]

What abt under £170

[small ridge]

focusrite and an AT2020

[lyric hatch]

Would still go usb

[mellow idol]

Really?

Does the interface n ed to be hella good?

[lyric hatch]

Unless you're making professional content I don't think spending extra on an interface and an XLR mic is worth it, USB mics are really good and much more simple to set up

[mellow idol]

Anything u would recommend?

[little silo]

SM7B MINIMUM

[lyric hatch]

Probably get better recommendations from other people but I've been happy with my Samson Q2u since I got it ~5 years ago just paired with a mic arm

[idle matrix]

is there any cheaper options than the zero x soft

[sudden imp]

With iems do you need an audio interface or will your pcs audio jack suffice

[lyric hatch]

Usually recommended to get at least an apple dongle to avoid the noise plugging directly into your motherboard creates

I still use my old fiio e10k does the job

[dull hollow]

i have a quadcast and it has a headphone jack, it should be fine if i plug it in there right?

[lyric hatch]

Should be only one way to find out

[dull hollow]

fair enough

[sudden imp]

Why does regular ports cause noise?

[little silo]

metal be like

[lyric hatch]

Iems are just more sensitive to it and motherboard audio usually isn't great

[crude kiln]

Viper v3 pro or gpx 2 or akitsu or something else within that price range

[twilit schooner]

Viper v3 pro is better than gpx in every aspect

except battery

also lamzu maya X

is very good

[thin axle]

How does it feel in the hand tho?

[twilit schooner]

I dont have it, but everyone likes it

[dull hollow]

they took what everything loved and hated about mouses like the gpx and viper and improved it

[thin axle]

Every time I go on lamzu's website, I regret it.

[dull hollow]

people hated the hump on the gpx so they changed that slightly and the viper was a little thin so they made it a little wider

[thin axle]

Yeah? I guess I'd only know if I bought literally one of every mouse they make.

[dull hollow]

im going based on a few reviews i saw of it

[thin axle]

That's my issue. People review one of their mouses, or compare two. But they have like 5 different versions, with 3-5 variations. It's incredibly confusing xD

[twilit schooner]

viper is not thin

[dull hollow]

yeah, to be more specific it was a comparison between the gpx, viper v3 pro and the fnatic maya x

[thin axle]

https://lamzu.com/pages/q-a

After I kept clicking on their website, I found this. Gosh, and that's just showing 1 of their models with 7 variations XD

[dull hollow]

what i meant is that the grip width is a little small compared to the gpx, the front of that flares out more

[twilit schooner]

Why haha

its fine no?

[thin axle]

Just seems like a programmer designed a website for a programmer.

I literally know nothing about lamzu history, I'd need to study them for 10-20 hours before I'd understand the nuances of each mouse they sell, pro/cons, etc.

[twilit schooner]

Lamzu is top tier

Everything they do is great, Idk about the keyboard tho

but their mice/mousepad are great

[dull hollow]

if i ever need to end up replacing my superlight ig its either pulsar or lamzu

[lyric hatch]

Most of the differences are encoder and whether or not it comes with a 4k/8k dongle

[thin axle]

I like how lamzu calls a optical wheel better, but also has a "Lamzu encoder".. I assume that's the crap one that goes bad over time? Who knows. 😐

Use the adrenalin software found on AMD website for the "best" experience 😅

[quaint dew]

wish EU apple dongle wasnt nerfed

[digital cliff]

EU dongle is just fine for most stuff

[final flame]

it's only really a issue when plugging into a android device, because you can't change the hardware volume of the dongle and the default hardware volume is 50%

[digital cliff]

oh I see

[old marlin]

I can

idk if samsung has some special sauce included for that tho

[leaden kiln]

Wish apple dac was less fragile

Wouldn't use one for my phone

[umbral heron]

FiiO JA11 is like 5€ more expensive

[final flame]

or get a abigail pro dongle and it's the same price as the apple dong

[leaden kiln]

Last time I wanted wired headphones for my phone, I made the mistake of getting usb c iems with no dac

Didn't know that when I bought them though

[old marlin]

should have gotten DSP ones

[leaden kiln]

hindsight is 20/20

anybody got any experience with/know of the TinHifi P1 Max IIs IEMS? if yes please lmk what you think of them quality, sound, reliability wise! (please reply to this msg, i have the server muted otherwise hahaha)

can someone recommend me a budget mic and bluetooth headset ? budget is 100 cause i got other stuff to buy other than these

nvm i found a mic, the behringer xm8500

[faint venture]

My pc keeps restarting randomly, anyone know a fix?

I tried reseating the ram, tighten any loose connections

[sweet swan]

how does it restart ?

[steady sail]

Sounds like a power issue try a different power supply, or just a different outlet

[faint venture]

Even if I don’t touch the pc, it just happens randomly

[faint venture]

the fans or rgb should blink right? If it was a power issue

[sweet swan]

what are your temps for cpu looking like ? might be a cooling issue

[faint venture]

WAIT

[steady sail]

Whats your cpu ?

[faint venture]

5700X3D

And a deepcool cooler

Recently installed

2 months or so

Both of these parts

[sweet swan]

You should check your temperatures

[steady sail]

Uhm whats your psu ?

Just write down your whole setup lul

[faint venture]

Coolermaster 650W i think

And a 3070

[steady sail]

Does your pc shutdown and reboot ?

[faint venture]

Yep

and if the reboot pins on your board are maybe wrongly bridged so it sometimes triggers that

[faint venture]

Okay there’s an error every 3 seconds, source - service control manager

[ashen spindle]

post a pic of the error

[ashen spindle]

is that in the system tab or application tab of the logs

[faint venture]

Custom views > Administrative events

In event viewer

[ashen spindle]

oh niah ignore that check for errors in windows logs > system

[ashen spindle]

check gpu temperature, reinstall drivers with DDU and see if that helps

[steady sail]

[faint venture]

Doing that rn!

[umbral heron]

Could be worse
Could be Logitech or HP

[steady sail]

Yeah

[old marlin]

hyperx seems to be doing fine under hp

kinda stale ig?

[frozen ingot]

its sad companies making niche enthusiast gear can barely survive in todays market

[final flame]

nobody expects the logitech acquisition

[steady sail]

I mean fanatec did that to themselves

[frozen ingot]

either gets acquired and enshittified by some larger conglomerate or ends up bankrupted

[steady sail]

Just like ekwb

[final flame]

ekwb did that to themselves

[frozen ingot]

yeah but even aside from companies overspending themselves to death its a harsh market for anything unique to survive anymore

[late grove]

And who do you expect to buy Logitech? Corsair? They are struggling themselves.

[frozen ingot]

I can't for the life of me understand how some companies thought the whole covid/lockdown sales boom would last forever but I guess many people just go blind seeing those numbers go up

[late grove]

Corpos cannot think for longer than a year into the future. And even that is a rarity.

[frozen ingot]

"long term sustainability"

[late grove]

mhm about as meaningful of a buzzword as AI

[faint venture]

FIXED! Thankss

[vivid rampart]

yo i need help with these zowie mouse pads

theres all of these different gsr models but no idea what differences they have, kinda thinking of buying the red one cause i see it so often but i also got the black one recommended

[wraith bronze]

I only know of the GSR, GSR Special Edition and the GSR 2 which is just updated model

[vivid rampart]

so what, the gsr 2 is the better one?

like what are the differences

[wraith bronze]

Tighter weave

[vivid rampart]

wdym by that, what does it affect exactly

[wraith bronze]

Consistency of your mouse gliding

See it as more durable

[vivid rampart]

so its a smoother control pad?

[wraith bronze]

It's still a control pad, don't get me wrong, but it's more durable

You're basically paying for it to last longer

What games do you play

[vivid rampart]

valorant

would u say the gsr 2 is the better model for val out of them all? or that red one or the old black one, just the gsr

[wraith bronze]

I'd personally get the GSR 2 for its durability

[vivid rampart]

so better compared to the rest??

same smoothness, same control, same speed, just more durable right

[wraith bronze]

Compared to their own mousepads yes

[vivid rampart]

was thinking of buying a artisan but too expensive honestly, i thikn ill buy one later

for now ill stick to zowie cause honestly, its just as good enough

[wraith bronze]

I have one, it's good, but no doubt you'll have good experience with the zowie too

Artisan is just luxury to be frank

I also have a glass mousepad which is fucking insane for tac shooters. No doubt it brings out the worst in your aim and it really puts your nose on 'this is wrong with it'

Buuut for like the finals, OW2, apex and stuff, it's so much fun to just beam the fk out of someone in one smooth move.

[vivid rampart]

yeah honestly i agree, artisan i think is just a more durable zowie or something u know what i mean, neither mouse pads wont affect skill cause theyre just the top brands, artisans more like youre paying for the brand name

[viscid sphinx]

No the gsrse is not a good pad vs the artisan pads

Its wrong to think that you are paying for the brandname when it comes to artisan

[late grove]

Meh, glass.

One of the bigger scams I fell for.

[misty matrix]

wherein lies the scam?

[late grove]

I mean it's not really a scam it's just a bad product that disguises itself as being good because stock mouse skates are very often terrible.

[wraith bronze]

That's precisely why wallhack/x-ray has their own mouse skate dots

[late grove]

Skates are more important than the pad.
And unfortunately since glass is hard, good skates will wear out on it... very quickly.

[late grove]

Yes and they are awful.

[wraith bronze]

B-But I have 'em?

[leaden kiln]

I like my glass pad

[late grove]

So do I.

[wraith bronze]

Have it for a month or 7

[late grove]

@wraith bronzeDo you also have Jade dots?

[wraith bronze]

No not jade

[misty matrix]

glass is probably my favorite type of pad so far

[wraith bronze]

obsidian pro

[late grove]

Well do yourself a favor. Get Jades and try them on any cloth pad. I think you will see the difference.

[old marlin]

tried multiple glass pads and they all were kinda meh to me

[frozen ingot]

I like my cloth pad

[late grove]

If you can't find jades try the normal obsidians. Won't be quite as smooth and fast but close enough to get the idea.

[old marlin]

tho idk about the recent ones

[frozen ingot]

could use a new one though this ones like 6 years old at this point

[late grove]

Jades on glass are the best. No question about that. The problem is that they will degrade in a single day.

[leaden kiln]

I was surprised my hand didn't get stuck at all
Heard that was a lot of trouble for many

[misty matrix]

I think the only unavoidable issue with glass is skate wear, but besides that, personally by far my favorite surface

will have to try polymer at some point

[late grove]

It's a pretty big issue.

[wraith bronze]

I mean fast on a glass mousepad? I'm already overflicking hard on valorant as it is

Let alone with faster skates

[misty matrix]

I don't mind buying plenty of skates

[wraith bronze]

Once the obsidian pros were a bit worn they were quite good for stopping power

[misty matrix]

I buy a few obsidians and they last me a fair bit

[late grove]

Glass yes but they will wear out. Don't use them on glass.
Use them on cloth, the glide will be smoother but you will also have more stability. It sounds weird but once you try it you will understand.

[wraith bronze]

I only have 4 on them, too much dust and hair from the cats, that's why I'm actually holding off a bit on using it more until we get a new house

Using an artisan zero rn 😄

[old marlin]

guh

why would you go to glass from a zero

[wraith bronze]

No

Other way around buddy

[old marlin]

also solution to overshooting is a lighter mouse

[misty matrix]

also, one big plus of hardpads is consistency

[frozen ingot]

how bout glass skates on a cloth pad

[misty matrix]

consistency and longevity

[late grove]

Haven't tried personally but everyone says it's a bad idea.

[misty matrix]

works, but issues with consistency outside of climate controlled spaces

had that problem first hand

besides that? great

[wraith bronze]

Got a finalmouse

UltralightX, love it

I'm probably one of the 10 that doesn't have issues with squeeking n shit

[frozen ingot]

I'm pretty happy with the ptfe skates I'm using atm but was pondering trying glass on my new mouse

might not be worth it tho they're 3x the price of ptfe

[old marlin]

glass skates are straight up stupid

[misty matrix]

try is always good

[wraith bronze]

glass skates? Dumb

[steady sail]

Skate wise my favorite is roccat/tb ones

[misty matrix]

see how you like them

[old marlin]

[misty matrix]

if you want speed, and have a well controlled room, should work great

[old marlin]

they eat up pads

• COF straight up ain't good

[misty matrix]

newer renditions significantly less so afaik

[old marlin]

they would have to be significantly softer than any glass to not do that

[frozen ingot]

just stick with ptfe then I guess

much cheaper too

[late grove]

Why doesn't XPG brand look like this over here...

[misty matrix]

honestly depends on the skates themselves lol, some are crazy expensive

[old marlin]

cause that doesn't sell here

[steady sail]

Thats why i have a box full of roccat skates

[late grove]

Hard to say when nobody has tried..

[frozen ingot]

putting weeb shit on things just scares me off from buying it

[steady sail]

I bought them for 10€

[old marlin]

lol

[frozen ingot]

it might work for teenagers but not so much for adults

[old marlin]

I had burst proto skates early on, those were insane

egg high purity ones apparently are even better tho

[zenith silo]

Even as a teenager I thought that shit was cringe

[frozen ingot]

it is incredibly cringe imo but very popular in its respective markets

[zenith silo]

Well yeah the weebs love it

[steady sail]

I mean my whole room is full of weeb stuff lmao

[frozen ingot]

its the same as car manufacturers in the past putting some bimbo in a skimpy dress next to their cars on shows only its cartoon girls now

I mean if you like that sort of thing fair enough but pls no draping my shit in it

[leaden kiln]

I think it's hella cringe but I still like it

My pc plate for the wooting got delivered now, postnord giving me 3 notifs for the one package

[hasty thunder]

meanwhile DHL being stuck in Paris with my chargers...

[leaden kiln]

I dislike dhl way more than I dislike postnord

[hasty thunder]

the fun part is the name of the delivery (written by Sharge)

as if i'd return my order of chargers to China...

[distant tapir]

Been a long time since I've had anything delivered by PostNord.

[leaden kiln]

Love my 40 dollar dhl shipping that I can't hand in at the po that it told me to hand it in at, because it's the wrong type

[thin axle]

I heard that if it squeaks, your supposed to shove painter tape in it. 🤔

[wraith bronze]

In the ultralightx?

[thin axle]

I guess we'll find out when/if yours squeaks 😆

[wraith bronze]

I'd just claim warranty instead of fixing something that's a QA issue

[thin axle]

I said the same thing about getting my G302 replaced 4 times under warranty 😢

[wraith bronze]

I hear so much bad stuff about logitech, so sad

Friend of mine had his g pro x replaced 3 times, stopped left or right clicking

Just gave up, bought razer

This was like in a span of 6 months

[dull hollow]

currently going through a claim for a new one, scroll wheel got freaky

ive had it for 2 years without much issues though

[wraith bronze]

How long is the process from claim to receiving one?

[dull hollow]

it took 2 days but im calling them again because i never got shipping information from them

i started the claim last week

[wraith bronze]

Not too bad I guess

[marsh pewter]

logitrash is a better name these days

[dull hollow]

read your question wrong mb

[wraith bronze]

Steelseries got me a new one after proof of cutting the cord on my older one in like 3 days, just got store credit and bought a better one

[marsh pewter]

man I love companies forcing the production of e-waste

[dull hollow]

logitech is the boomer brand for gaming peripherals, slow to change and cant keep up

[marsh pewter]

also wildly overpriced

[solemn marsh]

yeah i had to return a headset to steelseries, they just had me destroy the old one. i got store credit but i decided not to even use it, i'd rather buy from someone else

[dull hollow]

theres no call timer when you call logi support, guess they dont want you to see how long youve been waiting

[balmy vector]

Then all their production must be real cheap, or they’re lazy (probably are)

[solemn marsh]

yeah if it costs them less to replace a unit instead of repair it, that doesnt inspire much confidence

[reef patrol]

That's quite common.

Wages are almost always more expensive than just writing off products.

[solemn marsh]

i mean to the point where they dont even offer repairs though? like their default return policy is to trash the thing

[misty matrix]

repairs usually require a technician

[fair gull]

not just that

but also training and knowledge

[reef patrol]

Yes. I've had to take hammers to products many, many times.

[misty matrix]

assembly lines are cheaper

[reef patrol]

Like those universal remotes that Logitech make for TVs.

Or cutting the cable on a mouse.

[solemn marsh]

thats kinda my point tho, i'd rather invest in something a little pricer that can be fixed up if something goes wrong instead of basically having a hardware subscription every few years when it gives out

[dull hollow]

this was the last i heard from them

[reef patrol]

Unlikely to find that in the standard consumer market.

Gotta get into enthusiast products.

[balmy vector]

True

[solemn marsh]

thats why im here 🙂

[thin axle]

Logitech mouses look nice on the desk. Just don't use em cause they break alot. In my case it was always issues with the scroll mouse and double clicking.

[solemn marsh]

and yeah as far as headsets go i switched to headphones from proper audio companies awhile ago, all my headphones have replaceable cables, earpads, top padding, etc.

[misty matrix]

which ones you got?

[solemn marsh]

sennheiser hd58x and beyerdynamic dt 770 pro x le

im looking at getting some mezes next

[misty matrix]

nice, I'm pretty sure you could replace the drivers in both of them if you cared enough

[solemn marsh]

yeah, ive heard beyerdynamic especially people love to mod, im pretty happy with both of them tho

[misty matrix]

beyers are very easy to crack open

have you heard of the "toilet paper" mod?

lol

[solemn marsh]

yeah, i tried something like that for the 58x but i found it made the sound a little more closed

i took the outer foam out which helped widen the sound a bit

[misty matrix]

the tp mod is nice for beyers cause it dampens the spike

many people can't stand the said spike

good ol Mt beyer

[solemn marsh]

oh yeah i def noticed that, i messed around with EQ a bit but honestly i dont really mind it

[misty matrix]

neither did I, but I used 880's, 600ohm
