Hm, is there a 3D Model of the wooting keyboard available 🤔 -- would be cool to make a little WebGL / codepen :p

Cool idea, but I need to check if it's smart to share 😉

There are no proper tools available, Quinn. Microsoft has locked off some of the "spying", so you can't app-disable it anymore. I expect the EU to take action soon on the matter.
ashen spindle
yeah even cortana/telemetry can only be completely disabled in w10 enterprise
solar hinge
but why can i not turn off windows defender + the firewall
doesn't make any sense
while i could do it before (this is since the creators update)
ashen spindle
out of curiosity why do you want to disable it? performance?
solar hinge
because that shit is interfering with my nas, asks BS questions about which app to let through, and i hate
it
reef patrol
Well you CAN disable both. Just takes a bit of Regedit. I have both disabled here.
ashen spindle
ah I see, I have it enabled but it's rarely asking me anything
solar hinge
i even have my own AV
i don't need that shit from MS
@reef patrol what program do you recommend to use for checking my SSD
i can connect to it
from my new windows
reef patrol
https://crystalmark.info/software/CrystalDiskInfo/index-e.html
This reads your disk's SMART info. If it says it'd bad, it's basically DEAD. SMART never catches errors until it is too late.
reef patrol
HDTune will do a complete check. Do the error check with the checkmark marked (Full/Deep? scan) Takes about an hour or so depending on size.
It basically reads everything sector by sector. If it finds a single error (red), you might as well throw it out.
solar hinge
do you by any chance know how i can get my firefox bookmarks out of the non working windows :p
all i cna find is some stuff from 2012 :p
i still have hd tune pro on my old SSD :p

4.99 steam links, daaamn they're really trying to get rid of them
pale sigil
Hmm?
timid chasm
Steam Links are $4.99 for the sale. Same price for gamestop on black friday
pale sigil
Whats steam links
timid chasm
the thing that lets you stream games over your network
timid chasm
absolute shit for wireless though
pale sigil
Ah
timid chasm
even straight wired im not sure how good it is if you're a quality whore
pale sigil
useless without steam controller
pale sigil
for 4 quid im kinda tempted
lmao
My issue is i dont have a wired pad
i have a wireless one
timid chasm
if you have a 360 receiver..
pale sigil
i do
timid chasm
then why wouldnt it work
timid chasm
that's kind of it's whole main purpose
pale sigil
ik
timid chasm
obligatory you can't use your PC while you're streaming to it though
people seem to not think about that for some reason
timid chasm
I've not heard of 1080 doing well on it ever but 720 seems to be decent
pale sigil
the link or streaming
timid chasm
the link doesn't have gigabit I dont think
timid chasm
I mean it has ac and it's 2 years old
pretty sure its only 100
decent idea of what to expect
pale sigil
i have used steam share many times
timid chasm
but not a link
timid chasm
I think okay is the perfect word to describe it

ANyone seen the mixed reality headsets? seriously impressive.

I've seen nothing to indicated VR is anything more than a gimmick atm

LTT review :/
pale sigil
interesting
oh shit
3 days ago
ty
Ah this is the acerone
I heard the acer one was meh
its the HP one that looks good
@tiny tide As most others say he chose to review the worst and cheapest vr headst
tiny tide
Eh, sure. I'm not the target audience for vr anyway lol
odd stirrup
What's the cheapest decent VR headset?
pale sigil
Decent and cheapest would be HP
Its more part of the mixed reality range by microsoft for tuture products
it does't actually do anything mixed
Aye
at a lot lower cost
and has better specs
ironically
just the acer one and some others are meh
HP and Samsung seen to be best
Samsung being the best
The only cost to these is the tracking, it uses front camera's and if you go out of your fov it can be an issue but its not a huge one
Aye
but again
supperior
timid chasm
cause it's the newest hype and it translates into money
timid chasm
VR isn't to the point where you need people to do it well it just needs to get done by whoever will do it
pale sigil
As i said
its part of microsofts new AR range
Like Wooting Keyboards
different products under Wooting Keyboards range
its very stupid i agree
Augmented reality
Holo lens like stuff
Holo lens is still dev only product
Yes
Look on your computer now
timid chasm
IF VR games ever get to a point that require really good shit then we'll see really impressive stuff but it likely won't get there. It'll die off again before that
timid chasm
headsets are the steamlink of VR
pale sigil
Well in the future yes
but rn its purely vr for gaming realistically
Nothing to be confused about
timid chasm
until it works well with an improved version of something like the Omni it's just more crap
pale sigil
they are making vr headsets
to complete with oculus and vive
and at a lower cost
As VR has been a very small venue
HTC and Oculus only
Now MS want to compete
These are essentially VR for Windows 10 xD
But it has SteamVR support
And other games
its basically like Windows10VR, XboxVR probably too later down the line.
I already said
timid chasm
Aren't some games incompatible with certain headsets?
timid chasm
VR is like getting those cheap toys when you were a kid
except it's not cheap it's just meh
pale sigil
350 vs 600 hmmm 🤔
note that the preview window in windows has a cap on fps and resolution scale
But the experiancein the actual headset is whatever fps your pc can do
and 1440p
Correct
Which is weird considering its MS
Now the amazing things about these headsets is you dont need sensors
they use cameras at the front
But the issue with this
is the fov
So if you're facing forward
timid chasm
How could you own that and not paint it to look like a face
pale sigil
with the headset it will lose tracking if you move the controller behind you
as long as you actually move your head its pretty damn amazing for what it is
no need for light houses
timid chasm
why wouldn't you move your head?
pale sigil
Have you like not looked into vr
its not just sit on your ass and play like it was at launch
You use sensors to move around etc
crouch etc
timid chasm
I'd hope more than 360
pale sigil
Well
360 is all around
wha t else is it going to be
not just left and right
vr is far from perfect, but at this price range its justified
timid chasm
I do not agree with that considering the game options
but I also hate the idea of using a controller to move when playing VR
pale sigil
timid chasm
market the stands you can walk in
pale sigil
you do walk
you dont use a controller
you point with knucklers
There's an incredible amount of vr games out there man
pale sigil
BTW
Im bias
Because 80% of my headset is being paid for as a gift
None bias i could never justify the cost.
At all
But mixed reality is actually quite cheap vs vive
timid chasm
what games do you actually walk in to move and not use a pad or joystick
pale sigil
What do you mean.
None teleport?
I will admit this isn't a huge thing yet
you can use physical walking YET
Vive is getting new knuckles that track fingers
timid chasm
that's so unimmersive for something called VR. At least offer a movement motion if you're not going to support something like the omni
pale sigil
What do you mean.
timid chasm
I mean why would I want to play something called VR if I'm just standing still and spinning in circles
pale sigil
i mean there is shit out there but $$$$$$
You do somewhat walk
you just cant run a distance etc
without other hardware\
There are companies out there that adapted it like laser tag
game does not fully support vr hence why the weird headset movement
timid chasm
that's the only way I'd consider VR. something like that that actually works well
so they use regular fallout and not the fallout VR
odd
timid chasm
I'm familiar with virtuix
pale sigil
You don't know how good VR is till you try it.
I got the chance different times.
Its mind blowing.
Back duing dev kit 1 it was basic controller move your hdead around
and even then it was mind blowing
Now you can move around and nody is tracked
crouching, laying down etc
timid chasm
They need to perfect locomotion and then it can get good
pale sigil
Sea of Thives would be amazing in vr
timid chasm
imo teleportation seems to be the worst and artificial is it being a basic game with head movement and arm aiming
at least give us something like this
I'd rather walk in place than teleport or use a joypad
timid chasm
lmao I wanna buy a headset and that game for my brother for Christmas
He drives semi irl
he'd be so pissed
pale sigil
https://youtu.be/c_AGELUgIvY?t=2m4s is a great example
You reach out
to climb
and when you jump you make the jump motiuon irl
timid chasm
that doesn't look too bad
at least it has some movement to move
Now I just want a VR borderlands with good locomotion though
odd stirrup
$400 for a headset is still pretty expensive
pale sigil
so its a 160 euro keyboard

I keep mine static at a purple, pink, cyan gradient to match my theme.
ashen spindle
I'm glad all my parts are without RGB, even the light from the powerbutton alone sometimes annoys me at night lol
reef patrol
It's really not bad in person. Camera picks up a lot more light than is present to the eye. But it's definitely a decision you make. The way I see it - If you've got a nice glass window, you might as well show off the parts.
Wooting keyboard keys lighted to match of course 😉
ashen spindle
yeah, but for example I have the s340, so the left side has a glass panel and my pc is put right next to the leftside wall so goodluck seeing anyhting without moving it

@pale sigil the bigger your SSD the more writes before damage
reef patrol
Naw.
It's all about how much of it you use. SSDs try to wear every sector equally. Like tearing off layers everywhere equally. The more is used, the less easy this will be, and the more layers will be stripped in general (if you're actively replacing data)
HOWEVER - We're talking hilarious amounts of data these days. Petabytes.

@reef patrol bigger SSD = more sectors

Again it all depends on how much of a drive you use.
If you use 80% on a 64 or 1024Gb drive won't matter. They will wear at the same rate given scaled use.

I already have a good enough phone with an average camera.
Really found the bargin Umi Digi phones to be fine, except for the camera.
Which means if I want a decent camera I'm going to have to go full premo and get the LG V30+ or Pixel 2 XL or S8+ etc and I really don't want to pay that :P
So the Razer phone and all its coolness needs to actually have a decent camera for me to consider it. There is not much figure out in terms of 1920x1080 display, responsive touch screen, fast cpu, enough ram and Adroid 7+ so any cheaper flagship killer fits the bill. It is the camera that separates things for me.
I miss my LG G4 - if only they didn't build the CPU with a hardware fault where it just suddenl;y stops working I'd be using that still...
winter yew
yeah anything over $600 should have a fine camera. the budget phones I'm using are in the $180-$280 bracket. the difference is the camera, which is my point, not keen on spending the cash for the camera at this stage
solar hinge
owww
try a xiaomi mi5
or 5s
i have a mi5 and it's great
and should be at like 250-300 euros now

reef patrol
Let it settle completely. Don't be afraid to lift up the mobo and double check 😄
reef patrol
So you can see if the CPU is all the way down into the socket from the side.
It can be hard to tell looking straight down.
reef patrol
😄
pale sigil
Meh, i felt proper terrified when putting in intel
6600k was my first intel chip since intel duo
reef patrol
Furthest RAM slot from CPU, and the one that matches that (So positions 2 and 4 counting from CPU left to right)
solar hinge
or 1 and 3 right :p
reef patrol
Depends on the mobo. Sometimes it HAS to be those specific two if only two sticks, sometimes the boards don't care.
Always easier with CPU coolers if furthest away.
solar hinge
😮
but i wanted to put it in slot one for when i want to upgrade i do not have to take the cpu cooler off
reef patrol
You can try and see if it boots - but you risk having to take off the cooler to fix it 😄
pale sigil
Loi i booted without a cooler once
just to check it was on
was fine
booted up a second time and failed
i was like surely its not max temp already
touched it and welp

I do that all the time - Usually you can get away with reaching BIOS and doing a bios flash with no issues. Booting up into Windows is usually a no no 😄

@reef patrol any specific screws for the m.2 drive

hmm, lots of the same ones
but there is one bag with 1 standoff and one screw

so i jerry rigged my little projector awkwardly into place and it's aimed at the wall behind my monitor 😄
reef patrol
😄
I'll be AFK for a bit, so catch me on Facebook if you need Tech help desperately 😃

@solar hinge finally had some time and willingness to clear the sides of the keycap

Weird when off though
modest adder
Looks pretty dope
halcyon moss
Use the normal mode key :)
pale sigil
I dot have a normal mode key
pale sigil
modest adder
Looks pretty discussing up close tho with out RGB
halcyon moss
Hehe
pale sigil
red backplate also
modest adder
The red Wooting one is the mgs one, I made a while back. I still need to make that how did I do it video
pale sigil
Tis a custom made logo
Friend made it for our guild when bdo laumched
i kinda just fell in love with it
halcyon moss
My sanding wasn't perfect.. But it looks decent
modest adder
Your sanding is a lot better then mine ;P
solar hinge
nice one @halcyon moss
halcyon moss
And these dang things are a bit hollow, pretty annoying too :p
pale sigil
Get out the sander for a keycap :kappa;
solar hinge
makes that sad and cold night infront of the casino all worth it 
@halcyon moss 😛
pale sigil
EREEEEEEEEK
Kappa emote already
Oh
Wut
kappa
What is happening
kappa
Kappa
im so confused
modest adder
Even kappen pleasent

A package from Holland province, China.
pale sigil
im never ordering from china again
modest adder
Double shot ABS or PBT?
reef patrol
PBT Transparent.
solar hinge
@reef patrol but can it blend?
reef patrol
The cheap ones? Yes!
modest adder
Cool can you make a picture of the inside (stem side)
And one of the number legends pretty please
pale sigil
@reef patrol from Ali express?
reef patrol
Will do. :)
I think so, Pleasant? Whichever chinese site is in English.
Could be
@modest adder
On the wooting.

Looks pretty good Mansen

Arrived yesterday through a Dutch proxy
reef patrol
Nein
pale sigil
I ordered mine and its still in Russia for some reason
Also why is it in Russia
@reef patrol i ordered mine 11/11
@reef patrol did your package go to Russia what does your tracking say now
reef patrol
Russia? Tracking? Niet and didn't get any.
reef patrol
First impressions - Stem is very tight. Takes extra force to force on and pull off. These can definitely break a Flaretech stem in half, if you muck about.
Light comes through more than I expected from PBT. My Ducky ABS are more opaque
pale sigil
Take a pic for reference
reef patrol
I was expecting it to shine less if anything. Hence the need for the POM layer to get backlight.
These are my Ducky ABS
No light comes through at all.
Lemme check.
Yes.
pale sigil
Very nice
reef patrol
I guess you get what you pay for with 10€. But they're a great mockup of my white Wooting project. 😃
Pity. I really like rough PBT feel.
Ah! I was looking for a vortex comparison.
Eh? The Vortex ones have zero bleedthrough? 😃
All I can see is reflection onto the sides from LEDs from the row "below"
Oh THERE. Couldn't care less about the top. I'm talking the sides 😄
Haven't tried it. Only did a quick test with that one key. Will give it a look tomorrow. Too tired to yank off caps
Guess we need a third material option at some point to fix that 😄
These all use POM for the backlight aspect though.
PBT+POM 😄
Indeed! You'd basically need a POM like finish on the entire frame as well, and some thin LED strips to light it all up.
Hehehe. I'll settle for a white frame and PBT+POM whites
Basically aiming for a look like how my Ducky Shine used to look. All white case, white keys.-
Problem is... I think I threw mine out ages ago 😅
But these cheap ones will do just fine as a proof of concept for now.
crude cipher
When I installed my 1700 I was pretty worried but when you feel it slide in you know it's in
reef patrol
I only have my Tai Hao...Bao? Miami keycaps to compare with. Those are a bit rougher on the surface - More like sandpaper. These are just a tad rougher to the touch than Wooting keycaps. Still smooth, but they grip a tiny bet better.

8600k -> 8100 what a downgrade lmao

I was playing pubg and had my fans on low, my pc got too hot and shut itself down... I got it back up and running and made it back into the match and came in 5th
solar hinge
You can rejoin matches now?
dark torrent
Yeah, as long as you're still alive and it's still going on
But if you're walking you're odds are high of walking into a river or the water around the island

Has anyone ever bought something simlar to this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DisplayPort-DP-Male-to-HDMI-Female-Adapter-Display-Port-Converter-Cable-for-PC/172977834720?epid=9007350238&hash=item2846484ae0:g:jQIAAOSw-09Z5YUs
never used coverters before expect for DVI
I need one for my oculus or well my other monitor as i only have 1 hdmi in my gpi
LOL
timid chasm
I've used dp to hdmi for gpu-> monitor but nothing like a VR headset
pale sigil
Aye i wouldn't use it on the headset
my other monitor only has hdmi
so id use the adapter on it
timid chasm
you could get an hdmi/dp cable if you'd prefer to avoid an adapter
I paid ~$8 for mine
reef patrol
The cabled adaptors rely on your GPU being able to change the signal - They should do that these days though. You only get HDMI specs though
halcyon moss
yeah hdmi and displayport are not compatible, so either needs active conversion.. or the gpu needs to do it somehow.
reef patrol
Oh the one with a DSP chip inside? They're just like 150$ a piece 😄
solar hinge
but
they are supposed to make it look way better
so if that is your issue
and it's not like you can ONLY use them for VR
errant bloom
anyone know if the wooting can/ever will support 0.1 mm actuation?
zenith mirage
I may be wrong, but i think it technically could right now. However it would be too inconsistant to be usable as is.
I think where it lies now was how it worked best
errant bloom
because it would be more difficult to diferentiate between the amounts of ir reflected whne you are that far out?
zenith mirage
I can't remember the reason why i'm afraid
I just seem to remember that being said
errant bloom
i will take your word for it then
zenith mirage
Hopefully one of the founders sees your question and can clear it up as I'm probably not the best source of information here 😅
errant bloom
To ping or not to ping
reef patrol
I am... conflicted. Razer just sent us a christmas present.
timid chasm
👎
errant bloom
Always nice with multiple keyboards
reef patrol
Keyboard, Headphones, Mouse and mousepad. Five of each to share between the reviewers.
Kind of feels like they're bribing us, heh.
timid chasm
I have an 80% failure rate with Razer so I'm biased and say it's definitely a bribe 😛
errant bloom
Which mouse and headphones?
reef patrol
Lancehead and Kraken 7.1s I think it was.
I have had similar experiences, Dane. I have their Hex mouse, and it broke repeatedly.
errant bloom
Oh, i had my naga for 6 years before i switched
timid chasm
Had a man-o-war and it broke when it was extremely baby'd and I also had a keyboard that got bad key chattering and then my naga epic where the battery became swollen and got stuck inside the mouse
sooo I'm over them. lol
wife had a regular naga that just stopped powering and working
only thing that still works is her razer blade and it's starting to deteriorate
errant bloom
The Lancehead looks really nice Mansen, a competitor to the g900, but with a little bit different grip
reef patrol
My Naga Hex keeps disconnecting - Probably the most frustrating thing a mouse can do while gaming 😄
errant bloom
Uh, absolutely
timid chasm
Nah, just ups the challenge
reef patrol
Naw.
tiny tide
I've had my Razer naga since 2012 and it still works after years of wow abuse
fickle ore
razer is just all around terrible, idk why people use them
tiny tide
I can see that you know how to parrot opinions 😄
fickle ore
Please, you are required to be connected to internet/make account just to change mouse settings, the stupid software actually impacts your cursor movement and makes it worse, they're embracing RBG even on mousepads, they don't care about optimizing their mice like logitech does, firmware is bad, click latency is high, etc
fickle ore
Why you need account is the better question
reef patrol
That is a DIFFERENT question 😛
fickle ore
other than phishing
Mouse should never require account, neither should GPU like Nvidia does with their experience
reef patrol
They don't actually. You can run Synapse offline.
I agree that both suites are annoying with their account based systems.
fickle ore
You can, but it negatively affects mouse cursor movement, which has been proven
it only behaves normally as synapse is uninstalled
reef patrol
It doesn't though.
fickle ore
Proof?
reef patrol
Do you have proof of the opposite? I will however gladly perform some field tests when my Lancehead arrives. I have tested this many times before using tools, while ensuring mouse acceleration is turned off in drivers.
fickle ore
Yep, it's there
reef patrol
"Proof"
fickle ore
check post #144
reef patrol
That's not the claim I was referring to Nagga. It was "Offline mode behaves as though uninstalled"
It's obvious that not having the drivers will negatively affect the mouse behaviour.
pale sigil
Make
fickle ore
You don't have to agree with me, but mine and many others agree Razer is just terrible lol. I have no knowledge or idea if offline affects like the online does, I'd have to read more on the subject, but I honestly don't care about Razer, their products just aren't targeted towards myself.
tiny tide
you know what interests me is if razer's products are so bad then why did logitech's g403 wireless booth show it competing against the deathadder for quality mice
tiny tide
is it though
pale sigil
I returned mine
pale sigil
Option ofc
tiny tide
the only thing ive noticed bad about the g403 is the battery life if you have the rgb on
pale sigil
Felt cheap and way to light
fickle ore
wireless is best in the business
reef patrol
You literally claimed it behaved in this way... Nagga please 😛
fickle ore
No Mansen, I did not. You need to read again what I said
pale sigil
I love the razer mouse but it's a cheap mouse for a stupid amount
I hate razer
But naga is nice as well as the corsair one
Just overpriced sf
Cheap materiel and shitty always online software
tiny tide
I still prefer the 2012 naga to my current scimitar pro
reef patrol
You need to phrase your comments better, because it is word by word "It behaves as though uninstalled" 😛
fickle ore
Lightness is objectively better in mouses, they're designed that way, they even drill holes in the shell, just to make it lighter
tiny tide
only use scimitar now because my naga is greasy af
pale sigil
I have a very specific taste
reef patrol
Anyhoo...
fickle ore
I'd be very pleased if I could find a good mouse with weight saving technique that was like 60-70 grams
pale sigil
And tbh I've tried all the expensive nice
fickle ore
But would be very expensive to make
pale sigil
Thanks to maplin and try before you buy abuse
reef patrol
My G9x has up to 28g weight addition. Very neat.
fickle ore
Why?
tiny tide
hmm
fickle ore
Yep
fickle ore
Callum, your hand is already heavy
why you need a brick in it
just attach a sensor to your palm with a tape
pale sigil
(was joking)
fickle ore
😮
tiny tide
when will companies consider the big boi #oppressed #2017 #reeeeeee
fickle ore
not for operation Fleimi, if we're benchmarking performance of mice, lighter is objectively better. But comfort/design/shape is personal I agree
pale sigil
Good job callum
tiny tide
i will send you aspirin for your pain problems
pale sigil
Haha my life is painful
Gl
I don't like pretty lights.... I just find it really hard to find the perfect mouse
I agree
pale sigil
Luckily I converted my cousin to mech world properly... He had a razer mechbrane
But he sold it for a k70
I like the idea of wireless but for gaming I've heard it's an issue
My anne pro is wireless so we'll see
tiny tide
logitech wireless isn't an issue anymore
pale sigil
If it works well I'm all for it
tiny tide
same latency as copper
fickle ore
Not same latency, but it's within 1ms.
tiny tide
at that point you are limited by frame rate rendering delays because most people play below 300fps
pale sigil
I'm waiting for the right deal for 1440p and 144hz
