optical switches.. 90 million click lifespan compared to 10 - 20 million
no debounce, no need to increase debounce latency in fw as switches get older, no double clicks etc

Has there been mention of DDR5 out there? Somebody asked me about it but I dont remember reading anything
and I know you nerds keep up with that cough @reef patrol cough
timid chasm
I didn't figure so but thought I should check
latent mural
@reef patrol Well thats half true
timid chasm
Oh. they're asking about a new build and don't wanna be behind. Fuck that buying DDR5 would bloooooooooow
tall finch
2020 is the timeframe I've heard for DDR5
latent mural
Its a shortage of silicon, not "DDR4" per se, and now with Samsing Hynix TMCS( or what ever they are called) getting sued for cartell building prices
reef patrol
Yes...and no.
Samsung, Hynix and other manufacturers are producing less than there's demand for - And there are accusations of cartel. Nothing final though.
Anyhow - Given how little the performance boost is from DDR3 to 4, there hasn't really been much industry push for a faster DDR5 alternative. Especially given how expensive it would be to push out right now.
latent mural
However, feels like they will have to implement a n ESRAM component soon. Bandwith will be epic with DDR5, but the latency is gonna be insane
Well, hasnt there? Those 3 companies own 90% (?) of the market, Ive got a feeling they can manipulate it as they want. Expensive DDR4 and "the so called no demand" both gives them an economic cash cow without really develope the standard further or aim for a new one. Double pay for tech staying longer than intened aswell as they wont have to develop and build new factories
timid chasm
GN claims DDR5 possible by 2022. Should've just checked them cause tech jesus never lets me down
reef patrol
Most of the time* 😅

Truth

How is it, GDDR4 is built out of DDR3, and GDDR5 from DDR4. So DDR5 and GDDR6 should be arriving "about" the same time

Hey all! I tried my luck on reddit but thought I'd ask you guys as well. Recently I made a big mistake, selling my RX580 to get a used Vega 56. Turned out the card was not working and the seller has blocked any means I had to contact him. Anyway, to the point. The card receives power normally (as it seems) but won't display anything which makes me thing the previous owner messed up a BIOS flash. Any one has had a similar issue before? I'm waiting on a friend to borrow me his old GPU so I can try and flash the stock Vega 56 to my card and prey to Gaben it works. Any suggestions are more than welcome, I've been missing my PC the last two weeks and it's really painful. Thanks!
reef patrol
A Bios flash definitely sounds like the way to go.
latent mural
so you checked all of the voltages?
tall finch
what makes you think its the bios and not just broken
tall finch
its definitely worth a shot
I had an rx 480 that had a mining bios flashed on it and wouldnt install drivers
from ebay
latent mural
@latent mural i mean just disassemble it, get a voltage meter and check if all the common voltages are there
tall finch
flashed a stock bios and it worked fine til I sold it during the next mining boom lol
latent mural
there as in on the board
reef patrol
That's a LOT of research and work, nt 😅
latent mural
not really if you can find schematics online
@nt thanks for the advice! If everything else fails I'll probably end up trying that as well!
@tall finch mining bios? Really? Wow. I just hope the Bios flash will make it work. If not, I'll also try the 1+8 method then if this fails as well I'll probably accept defeat...

Mining BIOS tends to be clocked lower, with less power use. It's not about raw horsepower for mining.

what kinda desk is that, looks cool
I only find 90 degree corner desks when I look around 
reef patrol
It's "just" the Linnmon corner desk board basically. I took a 100cm rectangular table plate, cut it in half and put it on both sides for a bit more width.
But iit's a HUGE step up from sitting at my workshop table, which did not really lend itself to gaming.
This is what I came from. Rectangular.
It wasn't bad, but it left a weird open space on the right that I could use better. 😃
Hehehe. I need the space for reviews and PC hardware. My office is basically part gaming room, part review / workshop space.
Got two full size PC Cases in boxes below the table as shown above. Before that they were stacked in a corner.,

What do you think of this mouse: https://www.swiftpoint.com/product/swiftpoint-z-mouse/?

@lapis linden I think you're looking at the firmware file in this format: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_HEX
fickle ore
Won't be as good as the Astrum, Kass 😄
latent mural
I don't know too much in real the two are quite different...Then I find that the Astrum is very low-end or at least the design gives a non robust side
tall finch
I had a Swiftpoint Z and I liked it other than the fact it was so crazy expensive
and I had trouble breaking 4 years of G502 muscle memory
I wound up returning it but it was really cool, just couldnt justify the premium over "normal" mice considering I wound up not using the tilt function at all
latent mural
What do you mean? You went from a Logitech G502 to SwiftPoint Z and then you went back?
Because I'm currently playing with the G502 and it's really not bad.
fickle ore
Astrum is made with all the highest end components + special attention is given into F/W to reduce latency
It's basically the dream mouse for gaming that require precision
The pictures of the Astrum on the Indiegogo aren't what its' going to look like in final, because the pictures are of a 3D printed model to show the concept
But, if you want the Swiftpoint for the Analog, GL!
latent mural
No what I mean is that the only interesting point is the fact that it is totally customizable but its sense and equivalent to that of today's steelseries so...
fickle ore
Yep, firmware optimized for lowest latency possible. Even lower than Logitech current offering. He will also expose some other sensor settings on the software that you can adjust
Optical switches + adjustable sensor position + adjustable shell + adjustable side clicks ^^^
I think it's heaven tbh, it's only 79% funded and 21 days left
Don't forget the weight too. It's very light, around 70g for Alpha and below 80g even for the ergo(biggest) shape + side clicks
He used OEM shapes for his 2 previous mice. For this mice, it's completely designed in-house in England and with the indiegogo he gets the tooling needed (40k $), and the factory is like 30min drive from his home, he checks there often. It should NOT have any of the flimsy shell OEM designs usually have
"One of the main goals during the design of the Astrum was a high quality and sturdy feel,"
hehe, we will see I guess
"-Click latency seems to be really great though, it beats the Venator on the bounce test by 10-16ms consistently. I don't know exactly how much faster it is, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was 10ms faster.
-WAIT WHAT?
The Venator had a pretty nice click latency which shows up on the spreadsheet at 4.5ms slower than the ikari.
Even when I tested it myself I found the clicks latency was what I would consider the "Gold Standard"."
Should be nice AWP mouse 😄
here's the spreadsheet for anyone wondering
Check this crap Tino, it's unacceptable:
Roccat Kone Pure 10ms fw1.19 fw1.20 is 38.7ms
the increasing for debounce latency in newer firmwares is something most manufacturers do, even logitech, because as switch ages the more it will double click so it's a way to prevent noticeable double clicks -> less RMA
Think most companies aside from Logitech just order mouse from chinese factories where chinese workers create the FW anyways
and just brand it
fickle ore
Yep, it's very bad
solar hinge
i want a high quality mouse with a lot of side buttons :p
tall finch
I just want a mouse with similar button placement to the G502

I could just buy another G502 but thats boring

fickle ore
I can't use mouse like DA/502, Ive got a RSI which get worse the more the mouse weighs. There arent many lightweight mice on the market. Only 2 new companies basically
Ninox Astrum and Finalmouse
latent mural
I haven't chosen a mouse myself in a while, I've usually asked my mouse man for what I should get 👀 he's watched me play comp for a whhhhile so he knows what I want. I think I've gone mx518 --> g400 --> da2013 --> g502. used da2013 and mx518 for a long time. I used mice before thhhhhose but I didn't really pay attention to what I got then. logitech g3 was terrible, it had so low error speed
fickle ore
haha glad those days are past, nowadays malfuction speed is over 6.5m/s I believe
Isn't the g502 something like 150g weight?
tall finch
with the weights its up there
latent mural
hm haven't really looked at it in detail, just measured with my ancient kitchen thhing which shhhhhhhows about 10-20% too little depending on thhe weight it's 120g
I bought it because I wanted a bit of weight for stability in case I need to pixelhunt
in mouse pads high dynamic friction and low static friction is ideal for me
fickle ore
in fps games low weight is basically optimal
latent mural
depends on the role you're doing 👀 if it's a twitch type thing thhen yea
I guess you can do a more precision role with a lighter mouse if you got the mousepad for it
fickle ore
Yup
inner ivy
still wishing for a mouse with an analog thumbstick
the couple that exist are all digital garbage
latent mural
the allsop mousepad with raindrops on it is kinda insane but it's hard to get your hands on in eu
inner ivy
Why not just make your own mousepad?
fickle ore
Vegetables, it goes by different name in EU
latent mural
👀 really
fickle ore
Allsop GigaPad XL
I have it
it's uglier than raindrop but actually a few cm bigger
it's even better I guess
latent mural
hm it has a diff picture, is it thhe same surface type
allsop tends to have diff surface types on different imaged ones for some reason, at least when I looked at them in thhe US
also about making my own mousepad, I haven't really found any material that has thhe type of friction properties I want in a mousepad
fickle ore
Maybe it's different I dont knoww really
latent mural
goliathus control and allsop raindrop xl were pretty good
used to use a qck+ but thhhe surface on that died pretty fast, static friction started increasing and killing my pixel hunting ability
fickle ore
I want Artisan FX Hayate Kou XL
but OOS
if u have fat mouse u want a bit faster pad than you would with a low weight mouse. I'm searching for high friction, might aswell get G-SR
latent mural
I don't really mind going high friction on this g502 as long as it has low static friction 👀
inner ivy
there aren't many mouse pads large enough for the sensitivity I use in games, so I don't generally even use a pad
my desk looks like garbage though now as a result, I need to resurface it
void linden
anyone?

zenith mirage
Have you considered the full desk type mats @inner ivy?
If you have the space required to make use of one effectively
inner ivy
I use about 26 x 16 inches, the ones I looked at for also having keyboards on them weren't deep enough
I set my deathadder to 220 dpi and the sensitivity in-game to need about 16 inches to 180
it takes deliberate effort to take my cursor off a persons head
inner ivy
I dunno man, UT takes a lot of vertical aiming
I also need wiggle room for when I recenter because sometimes I'll drift towards the top-right
My wrist is basically useless
it's all arm
though funnily enough, I am a terrible sniper
I used to be super high sensitivity
fickle ore
There's a point where speed > precision in FPS games, depending on the target hitbox and hurtbox of your bullet
inner ivy
then I learned how much better the arm is at precision and went all in on it
fickle ore
It's basically just maths
Thats why low weight > high weight
and optimal sens > low sens
inner ivy
I can move my arm to 180 within a frame
fickle ore
most ppl in arena fps use medium sens, the top ppl, and some of them use linear acceleration
inner ivy
I have played with some scary shooters
his advice was to find the sensitivity you can best play Osu at
and for me that's basically my desk
reef patrol
OSU is played with touch, not mouse 😄
void linden
@latent mural yes it is
fickle ore
Converting 2D sens to 3D sens is fun
inner ivy
You can play it with a mouse, you'll just do worse
reef patrol
It's like playing shooters with a controller 😄
reef patrol
Touch = Tablet in my argument 😄
inner ivy
I knew there were some top 10s that use mouse but I didn't know there was a #1
void linden
What is osu btw
latent mural
I care more about the weight balance of the mouse than the weight itself 👀 my arm already weighs a bunch, 50 grams here or there isn't going to do that much to it. I guess the main thing is the level of control vs. how a snap feels, swiping is roughly the same for me on lighter vs. heavier mouse but snapping is a bit better for me on lighter mice
inner ivy
a fun free game about clicking colored circles
it's exactly like playing a sniper in TF2
latent mural
as long as the weight of the mouse is within a certain threshold for me I don't care very much
reef patrol
If the Sniper was operating a heavy caliber machinegun maybe 😄
latent mural
I guess the sens you use also factors into high vs. low weight mouse
fickle ore
Somewhat
latent mural
don't need as precise control for low sens
inner ivy
the whole point of low sens is that you don't need to be as precise
you're literally just making all the targets bigger
latent mural
he's talking not about what you get by using it, but what you need to use it
inner ivy
The speed disadvantage is honestly overstated
latent mural
lower sens allowing better precision but needing lower precision by the user is two sides of the same coin
inner ivy
yup

hm, I think I'm gonna try a lighter mouse for a bit
got a g100s lying around
I usually like doing about 200 degrees without moving my arm
tall finch
same
many years ago I swapped sens every week or two trying to find "perfect"
now I've been using the same one for 4 years and I'm better than ever
even if its way too high for some ppl
inner ivy
Honestly, comfort makes a huge difference in performance
Unless you aim with your arm
Some people aim elbow up and some people aim with the whole arm
also the crazy high sens people just use wrists
fickle ore
lol
inner ivy
yeah, but you can intuit that through what's comfortable
fickle ore
probably
latent mural
I thhhink you develop a bunch of habits anyway that make those things a bit different for you
inner ivy
honestly, things like seating and desk height also make a HUGE difference in comfort
latent mural
I used to use my mouse so that it points to the left, and my elbow is on the right and I'm kinda leaning over the table
inner ivy
people just don't talk about it as much because it doesn't get plugged into a computer
fickle ore
That's true
latent mural
atm I aim 50% elbow, like about halfway 👀 I support my forearm against my table and use it as a lever type deal, elbow is a bit too long for me
arming is a bit easier than elbowing for me
fickle ore
I use wrist for precision and arm for longer movements
latent mural
I used to do about 180cm/360 on my sentinel sens when I played comp
that's also why I hunted for high dynamic friction mousepads and heavier mice
don't need as low sens if you have better control
inner ivy
90 cm to 180 is huge
how do you even turn
do you have one of those L shaped desks and just have the one section entirely mouse space?
latent mural
hm then I used 200 - 400 - 800 dpi settings on my g400, so when I had to fend off someone between spotting and precision sniping that needed pixel hunting I used 800 dpi, that was pretty normal sens-wise
Or one of those desk that came on the market a few years back, on which the entirety of the desk top was mousepad
what is that, 45cm/360?
inner ivy
yeah, more like that
latent mural
even tried playing at 40 fov at one point so I could see what I was hunting for better lmao
inner ivy
High FOV 4 lyfe
latent mural
I usually use somethhing like 103 fov
inner ivy
so far Dusk is the only game I play where I don't max the FOV
I forget the max
it's silly
latent mural
low fov kinda makes me nauseous 👀
inner ivy
If I had multiple monitors I could probably go up to 360 over 3 monitors
dunno where I'd have room for my mouse though
maybe they'd have to be wall mounted
what about it?

what makes it so good?
latent mural
I was listening at the point where they said something along of the lines of a 3360 with custom, fine-tuned firmware ❤
tbh I had just been thinking of getting a low-weight mouse
but at the point where they're worried about firmware latency which is a real issue, you know they know their mice
flexible cable is interesting for me too, I often have an issue where my cable has either too little or too much slack and it springs against stuff or I have to drag it 👀 with a bit more flexible a cable I could give it a bit of slack and use it more comfortably because it wouldn't (hopefully) spring against my keyboard
fickle ore
Im so happy if it gets made, knowing I don't have to worry about double clicks
tall finch
gimme one of those with more buttons and I'd back it in a heartbeat
fickle ore
What do you mean?
It has the possibility of 4 additional sidebuttons, 2 on left and 2 on right side ;:D
Or is that not enough, do you mean like a MMO mouse with 20+ buttons?
tall finch
I need 6 buttons plus the usual left/right/middle
I guess I dont NEED that many but thats what I use on my G502
3 on side, 2 on top and the scroll wheel left/right
haughty condor
Is good, just kinda heavy because of the battery
tall finch
tbh if I was gonna go wireless I'd just get the G903
haughty condor
I look forward to binding the top lean lever to lean left/right so I don't have to use q/e
tall finch
but the button placement on the G903 is wack
haughty condor
I need to get a Logitech media contact
tall finch
I just want a G502 that is slightly lighter pretty much
I could just drill mine out but I'm lazy
the shape is also kinda wonky but I'm stockholm syndrome'd at this point and like it
fickle ore
Well, the astrum has also a dpi button below the scrollwheel, I guess you can change the function on the software
+4 side buttons : )
tall finch
I might back it anyway tbh
fickle ore
Incase you do, I hope you end up liking it. It should be below 80g even in it's fattest configuration
tall finch
even if I dont like it, wouldnt be the most expensive mistake I've made trying to find a new mouse :)
fickle ore
For me, even 85g is too heavy, I can't game very long. But at around 65-70g I feel nothing wrong with my wrist and can flick very fast
I'm not actually weak, just RSI in the wrist I think
tall finch
I feel ya
I like lighter mice but I cant find any that have a good sensor AND the right number of buttons/placement of buttons
its like a pick 2: weight, sensor, buttons
fickle ore
I'm accelerating faster than 4m/s during my flicks, it must be pretty hard for my wrist with the g-forces
Ahh, you want the 3360 sensor?
tall finch
doesnt have to be that, just a "perfect" sensor
I found a couple mice that were light+good buttons but they had trash sensors
not even "technically imperfect but still fine", like actual garbage
fickle ore
I think, if you want a low weight mouse, good buttons and many of them, there's only Ninox Astrum
if you're fine with lower amount of buttons, Final Mouse Ultralight
it's about 67-70g weight, Ultralight I mean
tall finch
I was really close to buying an Ultralight but the lack of buttons kept me from spending on it
fickle ore
Both using the 3360 sensor
tall finch
(and they were out of stock when I was gonna buy them too, and by the time they came back in stock I had decided against it)
fickle ore
I see. 😃
I don't think you'll ever find a low weight mouse with top tier sensor, clicks, with that many side buttons I am afraid
Astrum comes closest with 4 side buttons + dpi button you can reconfigure
tall finch
its just frustrating because they're usually so close
like "if this mouse had one more button in this spot" or "if they just used a good sensor in this mouse, it'd be perfect"
but alas, I'm too picky
fickle ore
I hear ya
Just get the astrum mate and try to live with 5 extra buttons lol
IIRC, the alpha configuration without sidebuttons is 70g or could be even abit below
Best part is, You can swap it in 1 minute lol
I might even swap the sidebuttons in for MMO session, swap em out for FPS session
tall finch
I've thought about trying to do an ultralight mod on my 502 but I'm lazy
cant shave all that much weight off either unless I really put in work
fickle ore
The logitech construction is just too complex you can't shave that much off, even with swiss cheese mod 😄
Open it and check theres so much unnecessary shit inthere
tall finch
I liked the ultralight "mod" for the G100s
fickle ore
On the g902? They actually used weight reducing methods on construction
tall finch
where you just open it up and remove one big ass weight and it drops like 30g
but its not so good of a mouse otherwise lol
fickle ore
I never understood that, companies actually put 10-20g metal piece inside to make it more heavy wtf
tall finch
well with the G100s its probably borderline too light without it
fickle ore
isnt it around 65g without
fickle ore
I don't think a maouse can be too light because youre already resting an arm on it which weights alot
or atleast thats what I believe
tall finch
ye
fickle ore
Think we need 17% mor for it to be funded, bst said 600$ a day should get it funded, we have 19 days left 😄
latent mural
you mouse can definitely be too light, the imprecision in your movements will just go right to the mouse if it's light enough 👀 and you'd need lower sens to use a mouse that light to compensate for it
you lose stability
you can kinda go too far trying to get rid of static friction, you'll lose dynamic friction as well
fickle ore
But you can just compensate with a different surface with high friction
haughty condor
ugh high friction surfaces are terribad
so used to my razer sphex that hard to use anything else
fickle ore
low weight + high friction = gud
latent mural
I usually have a hard time getting enough dynamic friction if the mouse is really light 🤔
low static & high dynamic friction is the holy grail of gaming
but I guess you can compensate the lightness of a mouse by lowering sens
latent mural
yea 👀 I was talking in terms of the concept, not absolute values of the coefficients
high static friction is lethal to precision and low dynamic friction is lethal to stability
I tried pixel hunting with a worn-out qck+ for a while and it was horrible, static friction was so high that when I tried to change direction I got a jump
basically shooting at targets so small that you can barely see them. that's why I call it pixel hunting, literally hunting for pixels with a hitscan sniper rifle
I played sentinel for a tribes ascend team
I guess the issue is really: 1) is friction high enough to maintain stability and 2) how much higher static friction is than dynamic friction, is it enough to cause instability in the initial movement
fickle ore
Low weight mice do not have performance affecting static friction on any high friction surface
I like some static friction, it increases stability
small tremor in hand doesn't make the cursor shift 😛
latent mural
I guess had the dynamic friction been high enough there I wouldn't have had issues pixelhunting 🤔 I think µs=µk would probably be ideal for single pixel level fine control
fickle ore
I am not sure which friction kinetic or static has more to do with natural mouse stopping, or rather the ease of stopping with flickshots
Higher Static friction probably makes stopping easier
What headache? 😛
latent mural
with stopping snap type shots' mouse movement, dynamic friction will help 👀 static friction isn't really relevant since you're moving already if you're stopping. static friction is relevant when trying to get the mouse moving from still
when starting to move the mouse, the smaller the relative "hill" of static friction µs you need to overcome in order to move it is, the smoother the start will be
fickle ore
Should also apply for stopping if it applies for starting
there's probably threshold at some point when it switches from kinetic to static as it becomes slow enough
latent mural
static friction is called static because it is applied to object-surface combos that are at rest
fickle ore
Yes, there's a threshold, but it goes both ways
latent mural
if the mouse is moving the object isn't at rest
fickle ore
Thanks Tino, you studying physics btw?
latent mural
that depends on the dynamic friction coefficient, not the static one. they can be varying relative values
fickle ore
My logic agrees with you Tino
This is why I'm probably naturally looking for pads with higher friction, since my playstyle revolves around very fast flicks that I need to stop fast
Check Hiko's Setup Tino https://twitter.com/Hiko/status/1017029997213646849?s=19
He's playing with a G305, took off the shell to reduce weight by 7g 😛
Hiko, the CSGO pro you know?
or used to be atleast
😄
latent mural
when it comes to stopping distance, static friction is basically only relevant for tires where the surface isn't sliding. it would be odd for the static friction "hill" to appear when stopping an object which is sliding
fickle ore
Just funny to see what kind of lengths at people will go. Take shell off, lol
latent mural
I think I saw someone with a mouse that had a bunch of holes drilled through it
it would come to a stop when kinetic friction (aka sliding friction) uses up its movement
yea, that is actually why cars stop a lot faster when their tires aren't skidding/sliding, the static friction is stronger than the dynamic friction so stopping without skidding (static friction) is better than stopping while skidding (kinetic friction)
I've had a bunch of time to think about these since I do engineer work 👀 though I mostly thought about these in university
hah
I saw someone looking for a teflon mousepad
what would that even be like to use with teflon feet
leave your mouse on the mousepad when you go to work and you'll have to go outside to find it after you come home
hm yeah, there's a point of "good enough" in many things
it depends a lot on how you use it
latent mural
I saw one quake person get a teflon tape roll and put new tape every day under their mouse when they were playing comp
to maintain the same feel for the mouse every day
fickle ore
purple guy | tino: so static friction doesn't affect stopping?
[18:33] Vegetables: yea, that is actually why cars stop a lot faster when their tires aren't skidding/sliding, the static friction is stronger than the dynamic friction so stopping without skidding (static friction) is better than stopping while skidding (kinetic friction)
What do you mean?
fickle ore
Im' reading this you're saying yes, static friction doesn't affect stopping but you're saying stopping is faster with static friction than kinetic in your next sentence
O.O
fickle ore
But he's arguing 30 mins ago that, there's still static friction on the start of the movement
eventhough is sliding surface
tires are obviously static in their behaviour when rolling
latent mural
of course 👀 when there isn't sliding, static friction applies
when two surfaces are sliding against each other, kinetic friction applies
when stopping, two surfaces are sliding against each other and when starting the movement, there is no movement until the static friction has been overcome
fickle ore
Conversely, when you're stopping at some point you get close to the treshold where static friction kicks in, no?
latent mural
after the sliding has stopped, yea. if you're moving at all then you're in kinetic land
this is static friction
fickle ore
Perhaps it's the rebound on fast flicks then, which static friction would help against
Which I am noticing and makes stopping "better" not "faster"
timid chasm
Oh that's an easy fix. Just spit on it. That's what I do to create less friction
latent mural
yea static friction is a thing if you change speed to the opposite direction
that's also why it's completely horrible if there's too much of it
it kinda nudges the mouse everywhere
fickle ore
Alright thanks .-)

polyester-nylon mousepad with steel feet confirmed god tier 😏 0,194 µs and 0,193 µk
meanwhile qck+ and CM Storm Spawn with original feet was µs=0,175 and µk=0,125
I'd take the 0,194 0,193 pair all day
fickle ore
I'd ideally want high static, high kinetic surface, where static is bigger than kinetic by atleast 30%
latent mural
hm 👀 so you like the little nudge
fickle ore
I just checked lol, It stops faster when the static is big, we're talking here split second timings, but still
latent mural
static friction does not affect surfaces that are sliding against each other
fickle ore
check this vid
This is sliding object, just like a mouse and surface
When the kinetic energy is depleted during deacceleration, if the static friction is high enough, it stops the skidding at earlier point
latent mural
hm where does he talk about stopping
isn't this just a normal exercise 🤔 I'm not finding the part you mentioned
fickle ore
It is basically just like Tino said, when the kinetic energy can't overcome the static friction, it won't skid (use dynamic then) and stops
So therefore higher static stops it at earlier point
latent mural
your source does not support what you are saying 👀 this is an exercise about moving a still block

grape is brighter sweet and cherry tomato is milder sweet

the plum tomatoes are more tomatoey

@spice portal actuation point on MX browns is 2mm down
As for TTC, I have no idea

And by actuation point I meant actuation force. 😅 (I already have TTC Browns, but they're also the only mech. keys I have around, so just wanted to have some kind of comparison for choosing W-Flaretechs whenever they get the survey sent out.)

When I removed my cheap keycaps set a few months ago, I lost about ... 30 switches.

What's the name of the wires used to have your gpu in this position
reef patrol
Ah. A Vertical GPU bracket. Wouldn't recommend for an air cooled card.
You either need a case that has one included, or is sold seperately, or you need to grab the one from Coolermaster and cut up the back of your case a bit to fit it.
You can watercool FOUNDER Card design Pascal cards, not special ones redesigned by MSI, ASUS and such. The NZXT G12 AIO adaptor bracket simply won't fit.
reef patrol
Have some what?
reef patrol
Corsair have never made GPU brackets to my knowledge. Cooler Master makes the most popular one, and Cablemod has one coming soon that should be non invasive.
This is the one I use in my H700i case.

reef patrol
Again.... no?
Oh whaddya know. They have. Same limitations though
It's rather ugly though. NZXT's G12 is a lot more pleasing.
Anyhow. TDLR
Vertical kits are available for a few rare cases, never use with air cooled card. CM makes the best generic one (get the one with cable)
You can cool Pascal cards, but non-founder cards might overheat, since the position of chip and VRM are different, so they don't get enough cooling.

This won't be relevant for a while (until the product which I'm about to mention is realsed) but I'm really curious to see someone use a Wooting and a Lexip together. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/665701421/the-most-accurate-and-versatile-gaming-mouse-ever
Is there a way to prevent or remove previews? They can be very obnoxious.
reef patrol
Not sure.
warped dove
Anyway I was tempted to back this mouse but honestly it seemed terrible. I didn't trust the group making it, very much, either. It seems like overmarketed and gimmick hype riddled. I don't believe that any "pro gamers" will use it. It'll probably exceed my expectation when it's truly available and had some software and support maturity.
warped dove
Their software looks pretty functional though.
pale sigil
Is that just another z mouse
warped dove
Haven't heard of the gmouse before. But a gyroscope? That's sound rad xD
Nah the Lexip has a joystick under it and thumbstick on the side
Just doesn't sound as sturdy and reassuring at a good gaming mouse.
Yeah that's sounds valuable but only as a minor improvement to quality of life. The Cad stuff.
I'm gonna look into that Z mouse. Sounds crazy.
The one thing that I'll still be desperate for when I have a Wooting is have the precision and freedom of a joystick or mouse but also have physical snap-back and physical limit. Y'know so that you can be in a flightsim / flying in complex game and feel when you're full turn or back to 0 turn. While you can feel the wooting, the typical human mind and body just can't combine WASD to give as much control as a mouse.

warped dove
I've been struggling with the Ninox Astrum.
I was considering posting about it after the previous mouse discussion. The Lexip seems very relevant though.
The Astrum I've been anticipating for months. When you first see it, it'll give you many doubts. But I think the execution will be very good. The only reason that I'm not buying it is that I'm not sure that I'll be OK with the shape as it seems quite underdesigned (the underside is missing raised edges and there're no comfort indents anywhere), not uncomfortable though. If I buy at retail I can always return it if I don't like.
Ultimately, it's just another probably good, and quite affordable, mouse. I thought it might be interesting to hear the opinion of the kinda people who like Wooting.
Also he really shoulda just used kickstarter and then indiegogo afterwards if that too would work for him.
spice portal
The Astrum is only ~88% funded right now, so there might not be a retail. (I'm still on the fence about funding it too. I really can't afford another peripheral now, and my current mouse still works well enough for me.)
warped dove
He realllly shoulda shown some physical items and a real person in his promotional videos... Honestly I was almost gonna offer to voice over or demo for him after trying his previous mouse but I don't feel profesh' enough.
The Swiftpoint Z mouse appears to have a lot going on... But at least it doesn't seem like an unconvincing gimmick sale (as the Lexip did) by corporates, rather than enthusiasts and innovators (Wooting, Ninox, Swiftpoint). [opinions opinions]
spice portal
Mhm. I concur.
fickle ore
While I don't know about the Swiftpoint, the Astrum is made for competitive gaming in mind. It'll be lightweight and focus on very low latency. Optical microswitches aswell. Dunno if the swiftpoint uses them aswell. BTW Truzzle, Ninox_Bst said he will add comfort grooves. Also the design he showed us is 3D printed, ofc the real mouse will look a lot better than in these photos he's shown so far
The astrum's shape should be pretty much guaranteed.. It's using some legendary old shapes that were liked very well in the past.. Logitech G1/Diamondback for Alpha.. Beta is I think WMO shape and the ergo shape is like IE 3.0 or close to Deathadder? I forgot, not really interested about the Ergo shapes ^^
hexed gyro
It will reach the goal and it sounds like he’s closely working with a selected factory
Probably the same factory he buys his previous mice from (stock model)
And he has experience with selling products over Amazon, he should have something in mind for the logistics of it all
Heck, I think he will ship it straight from China from the factory with epost
