#

and the headphone jack is only audio output...

fair gull

or a bt radio transmitter

fair gull
#

wheat plume
#

fair gull

#

jebus

#

i mean my car has usb so i have a 500gb ssd attached

fair gull
wheat plume
#

LOL i could bring my bluetooth speaker and slot it into a cup holder and play that way

fair gull
#

just do that then

#

cant slot mine

wheat plume
#

but I wanna use the car speaker, it sounds better

fair gull
#

literally cant fit mine in a cup holder

wheat plume
#

mine is WIDE too

#

but there is a slot at the front thats the width of the my phone if lay it in there sideways

#

so thats nice

fair gull
#

18,5cm x 10,5cm

#

wheat plume
#

wait where tf did I put mine?? brb

fair gull
#

audio on this bitch is good tho.... and the woofer also is nice and powerful

reef patrol
#

Siiiiiiigh.... getting fed up with dealing with legacy tech.
I kind of hate Microsoft for making the OG Xbox the way they did. Been trying to lock my SATA drives for a few days on and off with no lock, because the Xbox needs it.

fair gull
#

it technically doesnt

#

the stock bios does

reef patrol
#

Huehue.

fair gull
#

just go rogue

#

easiest fix

reef patrol
#

I really don't want to solder on a modchip. So many tiny wires. 😦

fair gull
#

like i didnt want to lock my ssd

#

what pcb ver

latent mural
#

wasn't the original xbox just some hp laptop with a modded pcb so they could throw a weird ass nvidia chip on it?

reef patrol
#

It's either a 1.1 or 1.2. I don't remember offhand.

fair gull
#

i think those dont need a modchip

#

maybe

#

the 1.0 def doesnt

reef patrol
#

It does once the original drive is dead. Or rather it needs a functioning and locked drive to boot up with the softmod.

wheat plume
#

Found it

fair gull
#

@reef patrol oh is it dead?

#

sad thing

reef patrol
#

It's almost two decades old at this point 😄

#

Hard to expect an IDE drive to last that long.

fair gull
#

same

#

mine works fine

#

have a 1.0

reef patrol
#

Anyhoo. I have the BIOS, so I can create a new drive for it. BUT I need to be able to lock it to make it boot in the Xbox.

#

Locking it is proving... to be hair pulling hard.

fair gull
#

so just lock it

#

its not

#

if u have the password

reef patrol
#

I can't get any tool to lock any of my drives - That's where the issue is.

fair gull
#

windows?

reef patrol
#

Mhmm..

fair gull
#

may i recommend linux

reef patrol
#

Using smartctl

fair gull
#

live

#

i locked/unlocked my hdd with a live linux and a small program

wheat plume
#

how does this FM transmitter work? you connect the phone to it with BT and then you connect to its radio frequency on the car radio?

latent mural
#

yea

wheat plume
#

ahhhh

fair gull
#

just dont run too far away

wheat plume
reef patrol
#

I could do that - If I knew how to extract the password from my eeprom file. The tool does that for me 😦

wheat plume
#

this is why I hate Amazon

latent mural
#

riip

fair gull
#

so hdparm is the tool btw

#

if u have the eeprom

#

u should have the key in cleartext

wheat plume
#

this is expensive
way to go ireland way to go

reef patrol
#

eeprom is 256 bytes garbage. Gotta convert it to cleartext. Also tried looking into that, but no help there either 😦

fair gull
#

thats what dumps usually look like

#

the hddinfo would contain the key

reef patrol
#

Oh. Derp

fair gull
#

then just hex to letters

#

and boom

reef patrol
#

Lemme see.

#

Tesco are selling Xiaomi phone now??? on their carrier??? this is mad

#

i wonder will they be carrier locked to Tesco because I really want that Mi A2 Lite

pale sigil
#

they sold them for years

wheat plume
#

O.o

pale sigil
#

same with Hawai

wheat plume
#

they have a crap ton of Huawei and iphones

#

they have the P30....wow

pale sigil
#

i hve a few iphones

wheat plume
#

P30 Lite for 360

#

idk if thats a good deal

#

my friend has a huawei phone and its not allowed to install apps or connect to wifi anymore

fallow bison
#

What

#

Did he reset it yet

wheat plume
#

it seems the paranoia has set in here in Ireland too

fallow bison
#

Lol

wheat plume
#

does the p30 Lite have OLED screen?

#

it isnt saying it on here

fair gull
#

idk i heard some bad shit bout the p30 phones

#

or well

#

read

fallow bison
#

No idea

wheat plume
#

The Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite for 180 is not too bad of a deal

reef patrol
#

@fair gull So I recovered the key files (Had them on a CD I burned 15 years ago...fun). Do I remove all of the spaces and convert it to plaintext?

(I would PM, but you have it disabled 😄 )

wheat plume
#

considering it could cost more to import it from online

fair gull
#

yes mansen

#

accept fr then we can dm

#

dont send nudes tho

fallow bison
#

why not

fair gull
#

not really up for those funny bits rn

fallow bison
#

Can imagine

wheat plume
#

The P30 range is large
You range from Lite which costs 360
to the P30 which costs 750
then the p30 Pro which is 960 😮

reef patrol
wheat plume
#

although this is Irish prices we talking about

#

they are inflated like mad

there is no search bar on their website.......GJ Tesco

#

my mom wants to get Netflix

#

I spent ten minutes explaining to her that my phones wifi isnt fast enough for Netflix

#

and then she got pissed at me for not having fast enough wifi

#

I WOULD have fast enough wifi if we didnt live half an hour into the damn country side

#

thats her fault

ashen spindle

if we lived in the nearby (half hour drive) town I would get 16 down on my phones wifi

latent mural
#

ever heard of a company called f-switch?

fair gull
#

nope

#

cant even find info on them by googling

latent mural
#

they apparently make the wheel encoder on the model o

which apparently is pretty good

#

second to the alps encoders

how can u have a chloe price pfp, thus making me like u, but then also be a furry weeb, thus making me want to steal your organs

#

Goddamnit why is the 502 so expensive

#

$250 - G502
$70 - GModel O

pale sigil
#

Cos Its Logitech and wireless

orchid rune
#

Comparing the g502 and the gmodel o is an odd choice

#

Very different mice

#

Comparing the gmodel o and the g pro wireless would be more reasonable

unique schooner
#

@karmic grail just RMA it kek

karmic grail
#

@orchid rune it's just two mice I'm looking at, G502 since I've owned one and liked it, and Model O since the price is very cheap and I wanna try that shape

karmic grail
#

bruh my friend bought the 502 hero today

#

and he's complaining about the wobbly scroll wheel

latent mural
#

yea

#

the wheel on the g502 is pretty bad imo

#

since it is pretty loose

karmic grail
#

I told him he should of got the lightspeed

latent mural
#

since it doesn't cost much more dogelul

karmic grail
#

yea 😂

#

Only like $170

#

or 2 more g502 heros

latent mural
#

friend is looking to get a sff pc, since he has to travel a lot

any reccomendations for a case?

karmic grail
#

The node uhhhhh

what cooling do you get in there?

the noctua topblower one?

If he finds a short GPU, he can install an AIO with a bit of work too.

fair gull
#

psure amd is still vulnearable to smth undiscovered

#

like

#

its just a waiting game tbh

unique schooner
#

everything is vulnerable at some point

#

lol

fair gull
#

ya so im ok with intel having been found out

#

cause it means they can potentially work on a fix

#

if they dont fuck them

#

if they do nothing will really change in the future

reef patrol
#

The fix is new hardware basically 😄

fair gull
#

that will be the case for amd aswell if they find vulns

#

and then its just worse cause people jump ship cause of these intel vulns

#

imagine this: intel has an exploit of amd cpus and they just wait for everyone to jump ship

#

so that they need to jump back when its released

wet walrus
#

I mean, they've had more than one issue... and each time we've seen a "fix" there's another vulnerability discovered.

fair gull
#

its smth that can happen to anything tho

#

like literally

#

its just a question of when

wet walrus
#

but it hasn't. and it's happened to intel at least 3 seperate times in the last 2 years.

fair gull
#

like i said its a question of when

#

the later the worse in case of cpus

#

i dont really see this as smth super bad more as smth that just needs fixing

#

and then we wait for the next exploit again

latent mural
#

problem is that intel is slowlinhg loosing more and more of their single core lead

wet walrus
#

yeah, I'd rather not spend all of my time waiting for the next exploit. I'm happy sitting over here in AMD land enjoying the peace and quiet.

fair gull
#

yes so they will prob try to rethink their ways of working with HT etc

latent mural
#

well

#

hopefully

fair gull
#

@wet walrus and in a few years if they find smth every amd cpu ever is fucked gg

latent mural
#

they still basically release rerererefreshes of skylake

fair gull
#

ur logic is fine for now yes but like i said nothing is future proof

latent mural
#

sure

fair gull
#

and yama ik which is kind of why im a bit getting upset with intel

latent mural
#

not saying something like that can't happen to amd

wet walrus
#

and finding exploits on Intel every few months isn't making them any better.

fair gull
#

like i said if they fix it idc

#

if they dont fuck off

latent mural
#

but intel is showing less and less improvement per generation since skylake

latent mural
#

so performance losses are especially bad for them

fair gull
#

like my opinion is if the next to gens of their cpus are also just a skylake refresh and basically the silicon still has the exploits

#

sure they fucked up

latent mural
#

lol

#

they are

#

10th gen is 9th gen refresh dogelul

fair gull
#

i mean 11th and 10th

#

9th is out

latent mural
#

was already confirmed afaik

fair gull
#

and we dont know if they dont implement microarchitecture changes

#

if they pull their weird leaked plan tho

#

uh boi

latent mural
#

tbh idk how they really want to improve the 9900k without completely remaking it

fair gull
#

still thinking about a threadripper for other reasons tho

orchid rune
#

Comet lake is just another skylake refresh

#

Theyre not supposed to have 10nm out till 2020

#

Atleast not in the desktop space

#

And theyre not gonna develop another full arch on 14nm++++++++++++++++++++++++

ashen spindle
#

well from the last architecture day they said they are no longer developing them for a certain node but in a way that they can put them on whatever the best availible node is to avoid stuff like this, but I think that was only for sunny cove and beyond

no problem

plush summit

i had a hesh2...and it died

oof

then dt770

#

very good headphones for the price

plush summit
#

thats over 200

#

though it looks nice

#

though dam

#

looking at the other prices

#

@latent mural what makes you say that those are the best for the price

latent mural
#

they are pretty good headphones

#

you need a mic

#

and tbh I don't really think they ahve competition for the price

#

don't get the 250 ohm version if you want to use it on a phone though

plush summit
#

whats the diference

#

what does it mean

latent mural
#

Hot dang I hate how bad MSI are with documenting their products functions and features. Tried to update my MSI B450M Gaming Plus to the latest BIOS - Which failed, luckily the board got a "flashback button" which makes it possible to connect a usb-stick to a certain port and "Unbrick it".

#

The problem is that there is basically NO info on how to use it

ashen spindle
#

cant you just update it via an usb stick? at least my friends msi board has that and it works quite easily

latent mural
#

Thats what my whole message was about. Connected the usb 15 minutes ago and pressed the button, the led blinked 3 times and the went constant.

#

And its still constant

ashen spindle
#

well your post sounded like you tried to update in a different way and the usb stick fixed it rooShrug2

latent mural

Ah, my bad. Should have been a "and attach well done and understandable manuals".

the ifixit ones are great

Looking at Amazon ones as well lol

he is just disconnecting the fan inside

Do we actually think that phone company is spying

Basically everything is spying on you

you know what i mean

for china

karmic grail

yap

latent mural
#

you mean huawei

pale sigil
#

ye

#

Like trump is accusing them of spying for china etc

#

Do you all think its true.

latent mural
#

tbh I think they are collecting data obv

pale sigil

From what i understand there isn't really any proof.

latent mural
#

but apple likely collects more

pale sigil
#

So im asking if you guys think so

latent mural
#

or google

foggy solstice

Huawei may be collecting your data for China, everyone else is collecting your data for profit.

I hope this one gives my the may patch

#

@wheat plume can you turn your phone louder then "maximum loud" when you turn off the screen ?

#

cause my pocophone goes alot louder if i turn the screen off and press the volume up button XD

If the pocophone didn't have a notch I would have definitely bought it

😮

#

I wish I could afford

fair gull
#

i got for free from my carrier

dont really need it

#

will just be a backup

wheat plume
#

O.o send me it

#

Jk

#

I tried the phone today in a phone shop

#

They are thinner than I thought
Like the width of the screen

#

It can only fit four icon in the app drawer side by side

fair gull
#

na my current one can fit 5 including drawer icon

#

so im fine

#

anyway itll be either backup or pure gaming phone for AL

#

AzurLane got a new update today on JP and in a few hours on EN

#

enabling native 60fps

#

nice new ui

and its so fucking smooth

wheat plume
#

Ooo

latent mural
#

Just get a custom launcher like nova

#

You can customize how many rows you have etc

#

I just see too little improvement over my S8 to bother switching

fair gull
#

well i only got it cause my carrier didnt have anything with more storage

latent mural
#

Yee

fair gull
#

actually not a samsung fan or a noth/camera in the screen fan

I hated Samsung until ONE UI and Good Lock

that combo is even more customisable than most custom ROMS

any suggestions on what to change? building this for my mum/dad to upgrade thier first gen i7 pc

chrome estuary
#

oh that's not for you. I was about to ask if you could swing a 2400G instead

#

but idk.

#

looks alright

karmic grail
#

could possibly swing a 2400G in there (since dads given me a budget of 700$), could go 2400G + better mobo

zenith sonnet
#

Don't get a WD Blue?
I doubt speed is the main concern, but I'd still suggest something more reliable

#

Data loss is probably the worst that could happen to your dad, and it seems like it's expected to run for at least a couple of years

#

And it seems to be missing a decent PSU?

pale sigil
#

WD blue is fine for storage

karmic grail
#

@zenith sonnet the case has a PSU, I think it'll be enough for the stuff their doing
I had recommendations for a Hitachi Drive I think in a group of mine

latent mural
#

Oof

#

No

#

Don't get an included psu if it should last more than a year or two

#

And hitachi may be the worst drive option

#

A decent PSU from corsair is like 60 bucks

#

Decent budget PSU that is

reef patrol
#

Two things I would change...well two aspects of the same.

Ryzen CPUs run faster with faster RAM. Going for 3000mhz isn't a big jump in price. Also go for 2x4GB instead (or 2x8) for similar reasons.

latent mural
#

at least get one with some kind of 80+ rating

#

also that

#

Go with a Fractal C/Mesh(Or what ever the small and cheap one is called)

#

meshify c?

#

or at least the fractal focus g

#

for 700$ you might actually get a dedicated gpu tbh

#

No reason to get sub 16GB kits, cant recommend to get 28GB unless the RAM is of rendering importance

#

he meant 2 times 8

#

or 2 times 4

#

Aha

#

the asterisk got yeeted by discord text formatting

#

😄

#

If moneys tight I would skip the HDD, start with 1x8GB and then buy another 8 when theres money

#

you should rather get 2 times 4

#

and get a board with 4 slots

#

amd boards aren't that expensive

#

Well, if you are on a budget you cant do just that and since he linked a mATX(?) mobo which most likley means that he would have to get rid of the ones he bought now

#

if he wants to go matx there is the fractal core 1000

#

pretty good and cheap case

karmic grail
#

Problem is I wanna get everything at one shop, since it's very close and convenient

#

And that shop doesnt stock fractal design cases

#

I'm deciding if mum/dad needs 8 or 16gb ram

latent mural
#

rip

#

well

#

likely only 8 but idk

#

what are they planning on doing with it

#

and idk how pcpartpicker handles shop searches etc

#

?

#

oof

#

lol

#

idk how you can take so long with such stuff

#

it takes me like 3 days max to pick parts and communicate them with the guy who gets the pc

#

and make adjustments

#

lol

#

I like how all the parts he picked this time got replaced or kicked of the list within hours

#

he only posted his list 4 hours ago

#

or was he planning this for longer?

#

it shouldn't tbh

#

got a similar build for the brother of a friend

#

didn't take very long

#

although he ended up not getting it

#

almost though

karmic grail
#

Nah probably 2-3months max

latent mural
#

oof

#

that is a long time

karmic grail
#

My itx took very long since I had to finish exams

pretty sure it won't replace my twooting

and since I have to either use a hotswappable keyboard or a diy one I chose the GMMK for ease and price

#

and I want fullsize, most hotswappable ISO boards don't have that

#

if those even exist, haven't seen one other than the gmmk

I have a voucher for a store that was supposed to sell the 502 lightspeed yesterday

#

Went yesterday, they said it'll be in stock today

#

Went today, they said they have the stock but the release date was pushed back 3 days

latent mural
#

can't you preorder?

karmic grail
latent mural
#

and why get a g502 lightspeed?

karmic grail
#

Cause 502 blobkissheart

#

In all seriousness I did have a good hard think on what mouse I wanted

#

It came down to model O or 502

#

But since model O is sold out in all shops here, I decided to go 502

#

But with this 502 delay I might just consider Model O

latent mural
#

what is australian import fees?

#

Ive got a G603 and while its very good when it works properly, it rarely works properly. There are no dedicated drivers for the G603 for some reason so it doesnt have its own "scale of DPI"

#

you could order it directly

#

?

#

So its always a mix of the two last games youve played

#

the g603 just uses ghub

#

Yea, no drivers

karmic grail
#

Actually I'll see how much it costs for model O to get it delivered to my door

#

gg backorder

latent mural
#

afaik glorious has free worldwide shipping

#

rip

karmic grail
#

Back order everywhere except for the gloss version

#

Which I really don't want

latent mural
#

riiip

#

you have sweaty hands?

karmic grail
#

A bit and just fingerprints

latent mural
#

Yea, but thats not drivers in my sense of what it means. Im talking about "Device Manager"-drivers you get

#

?

#

It looks just like a HiD Mouse

#

it should be listed there

#

like any other modern gaming mouse

#

idk how you have prblems with "scale of dpi"

#

dpi is a scientific value

karmic grail
#

My dumbass cancelled my original order for a black matte model O

latent mural
#

and is the same for every mouse

karmic grail
#

Thought there would be lots of stock when it was released

#

3 weeks backorder on glorious website

latent mural
#

Windows got its 11-step scale, mix that with a game where you have 40s on a 100 scale. Somehow that gives it "the gyro effect"

karmic grail
#

Unknown backorder date on local shop

latent mural
#

games use raw input usually

#

and game sensitivity settings are shit anyways

#

why can't they just use a comprehensive scale like calssic fps used to do

#

like cs go also does

karmic grail
#

Sad days
502 or Model O respecc

latent mural
#

model o

#

How ever, yesterday I actually found out that my windows had fucked something up, cause reset my sense to 5/11 att reboot-

#

and how would "actual drivers" prevent that

#

the windows pointer setting are usually unrelated to games and unrelated to the mouse you are using

#

Cause they can ignore the windows settings

#

Like Steelseries does

#

logitech has pretty much no play in that

#

and in games all mice ignore windows settings

#

since the games use raw input

karmic grail
#

Imma put in a backorder then I guess from glorious

latent mural
#

Well, anyhow, the most annoying thing about it was that it felt like I had more sense closer to the edges of the screen/display. So it was a really weird "acceleration"-effect which was awefull

#

?

#

that doesn't sound like something a mouse does

#

and my gpw with the same sensor and similar software doesn't do

fair gull
#

sounds like acceleration was turned on

latent mural
#

not really

#

acceleration doesn't have anything to do with being close to the screen

#

or did they change how it works

karmic grail
#

@latent mural what color model O did you get

latent mural
#

matte black

#

Acceleration is rather predictable, this was more like if you had a joystick as a mouse

#

white looks dope, but really doesn't fit my setup

fair gull
#

@latent mural idk i never used accel

karmic grail
#

😕 I wanna go white but doesn't match setup like you said

latent mural
#

same

#

afaik accel just makes it go faster if you go fast

#

@karmic grail isn't your keycap set mostly white?

#

This was slow in the middle and fast in the edges

karmic grail
#

Yea but it has black on it too lol

latent mural
#

do you maybe have some other wacky mouse software installed

#

You can get a resemblence of the feeling when you play at 70 FoV in PUBG.. Its liek you playi though a scope.

#

I don't see how that relates

#

sounds more like you set the dpi lower than what you are used to

#

Cause you still play with 100 fov at 70, its jus zoomed in to 70 FoV

#

you don't play with 100fov

#

you play with 70

#

it's not zoomed

#

it is legit how fov works

Actually I guess this is a more appropriate place to put this : so part of my pc probably died (will double check to make sure it is not the monitor that is short circouting) but I think it was probably the PSU. How do I go about warranties if I didn't buy the product directly from the manufacturer? Is there a way to troubleshoot that the PSU is indeed rensponsible?
What happened was the house's safety thingy (idk how it is called in English) went down, the general one along with the one giving power to the plugs the PC was connected to. I had my pc and monitor connected to a "safety" multiplug, disconnecting the multiplug from power would allow me to raise back all the safety switches. I am going to check that it was 100% on the PC side soon(by checking if the monitor causes the problem). (After I have breakfast or sth)

@latent mural

Getting model O white

latent mural
#

I recommend you to try it on PUBG, since there is a "smaller window" where the same amount of "moving around" is gonna happen. Its not like everything just crimped 30% 😛

#

I know how the unreal engine handles weird dpi settings

#

I play on ultrawide, so most games are somewhat weird

#

@fast crown did you buy it prebuilt?

fast crown
#

Nope, part by part

latent mural
#

you can usually contact the reseller for rma information, they should usually help you

#

and it sounds like a faulty psu

#

might be something different though

#

best would be a physical reseller, since they can fully check what the problem is

#

But as I said, it does seem to be that the sense was set to 5/11 instead of 6/11 on reboot by Windows - Even tho Windows still read it as 6/11

#

and how is it the fault of the mouse in that case?

fast crown
#

Problem is that I am not in the same country right now and boxes of pretty much everything is back at home (resellers were from the same country). Specifically I bought them from Greece and now I am in Spain

latent mural
#

Since the driver would ignore the Windows settings and wouldnt care if the sense WAS 5 even tho it looked as it was 6. I tried the MouseRecorder from MarK and everything was upside down. When

#

a normal driver doesn't ignore windwos mous setting though

#

btw, can't I snatch a Huawei P30 Pro for cheap and install a custom rom currently?

karmic grail
#

Uhhh yam yes I've thought of that too

#

Since it should have a pretty big XDA scene

latent mural
#

apparently ouse drivers bypass windows mous settings

#

idk how

#

and why it would matter ingame

#

since it doesn't change a thing for raw input

#

true

#

although windows still applies some acceleration, even when turned off

#

barely noticeable though

karmic grail
#

Relationship ended with 502 LS
Relationship started with Model O

latent mural
#

completely different mice

karmic grail
#

Me with that decision:
I love the 502 shape so much
But model O is too cheap not to try

#

Since I have a 502 already I might as well go model o

latent mural
#

It was as if the smoothing made the mouse pointer feel like it was on the end and of a rubber string. Mega high input lag combined with conflicting sense which reset it self during games.

#

(A bunch of other 603 users who have reported the same issue as well)

#

then just contact logitech support?

#

sounds like a faulty unit

#

lightspeed wireless ususally has no noticeable input lag compared to wired mice

karmic grail
#

I just realised how bad my 502 cable is

latent mural
#

It fluctuate all the time, can be great for 3 weeks and then go straight into Input-lag world for a month.

i kinda get the hate for FM, but still, prolly gonna buy their new mouse since they advertise it as 40g. Prolly will be closer to 45g based on air58

latent mural
#

if you are able to

#

bad thing is you can't wait with buying it to see it's flaws

#

it will VERY likely have serious ones

#

I doubt they actually fixed the wheel

#

and the "Foamposite" sounds sketchy af

karmic grail
#

Foamposite sounds... Weak

#

Like I'm actually glad I didn't buy 502 LS now since I changed back to the EC2A
Something about the 502 doesn't feel right lol

fickle ore
#

yeah I'm worried the foamposite is like my sneakers.. How is that even usable

latent mural
#

tbh

#

if you can buy one you could just keep it closed in box

#

and see if it has any flaws

#

and then sell it

#

if finalmouse can even deliver this time

fickle ore
#

I don't own other FM products so far. I ordered Phantom but returned it because I preferred my gpro over it, both at the same weight.. Not worth 90$ but if they can do 40g, I will buy it

latent mural
#

took them 2 months longer last time

#

Currently use a phnatom, cus I like the shape

fickle ore

yea the shape was nice

but idk

and the weight is much better than my fk1

they made a tweet saying they use only the best components now and guarantee 4 year warranty 😄

maybe they actually improved the scroll who knows

latent mural
#

they did last time

#

they said that they "completley remade the wheel" etc

fickle ore
#

oh

#

lol

latent mural
#

in the end they put a haiku on it and amde it even worse by that

fickle ore
#

haha

latent mural
#

their twitter should be ignored if you honestly have interest in their products

fickle ore
#

tbh I'm not too worried if the shell is great. I can always switch encoder/switches if they malfunction.

latent mural
#

those weren't the problem

#

the wheel itself broke

#

replacement is a motospeed v30 wheel

#

the mouse is 30$ and largely unavailable in europe

#

wheel is broken on that too btw

karmic grail
#

that whole thing looks broken wtf

latent mural
#

it is

#

if it at least had a functiona lwheel you are supposed to salvage

#

but no

karmic grail
#

i highly regret cancelling my first model O order

#

I pretty much could of got it now

latent mural
#

was you original order on pccasegear?

karmic grail
#

yes

latent mural
#

next batch will likely take 1-2 weeks btw

#

according to a representative of them

karmic grail
#

buying from glorious + shipping (us to aud) = 87$ shipped
buying from PCCG + shipping = 94$ shipped

#

i guess i saved some money in the end from ordering second batch

latent mural
#

oof

#

pccasegear is almost sold out anyways

#

is there any import fees in aus?

karmic grail
#

nope...

#

didnt pay any fees from glorious

latent mural
#

I don't mean shipping, but import

karmic grail
#

oh

#

i actually dont know

#

i think for certain items it might be 10%

latent mural
#

did you pay any for the wooting?

karmic grail
#

nope

#

whats a mouse thats similar/exactly the same to the ec2a but lighter...?

latent mural
#

none dogelul

#

kpoe

#

but it's too small

karmic grail
#

fuck

#

time to source another one and do swiss cheese mod on it

latent mural
#

it'S only like 30gramms lighter than a g502 dogelul

#

and you can easily remove weight from the middle plate without hurting integretiy or looks

fickle ore
#

finnish store still has model O I believe. Hmm.. Let's see if I like the shape or not, can always return I guess

but actually on your desk and not in your mind

#

and why astrum

#

g305 pls

karmic grail
#

wtf all the ec2a's on ebay are 100$+

fickle ore
#

alpha shape is close to g1 shape than g305

#

g1>>>>>>>>>>>>>g pro/305

latent mural
#

g305 is wireless though

fickle ore
#

Im not really bothered by the wire

#

BBW

latent mural
#

that's why it's innards are so popular for modding

#

and I personally hate the g1 shape

fickle ore
#

astrum 5ms lower debounce + better wheel

#

mmmmmmm

#
  • low latency fw
latent mural
#

the alpha shape is more razer diamondback

fickle ore
#

its modified qsxcv f/w over logitech, so around 5-6ms lower debounce + slightly lower motion delay

latent mural
#

"5 ms lower debounce" just use hardware debounce

#

why is it still done in software

fickle ore
#

who uses hardware debounce?

latent mural
#

nobody

fickle ore
#

I dunno if it is, forgot if it uses 3 pin vs 2 pin

latent mural
#

would be good though

karmic grail
#

soon to come: ec2a swiss cheesed and paracorded + new feet

latent mural
#

the switches all support it

#

hardware debounce would need all 3 pins

#

but they are soldered anyways for stability

fickle ore
#

y

#

optical switches iirc have 4-5 pins

#

might be hardware debounced

latent mural
#

just use regular switches tbh

#

just not omrons

fickle ore
#

dunno

#

no metal leaf no contact to wear

#

might last longer

latent mural
#

just use kailh gm or omrons

#

those last longer without stupid problems like double clicks

fickle ore
#

he will go newest F-switch for wheel and GM4.0's if opticalsarent good

#

hes getting final sample next wed

#

and gm 4.0's will be hardware debounced

latent mural
#

the f-switch wheel encoders seem to be good

#

almost as good as alps

fickle ore
#

ya

#

he said theres a newer F-switch which nobody has tried yet, says its the best one yet

latent mural
#

tbh I think it would be weird if the model o doesn't have that one then

#

since they still made changes like 1 month before release

fickle ore
#

it depends whether the customized a4tech opticals feel good. The company customized it to fit the Astrum or atleast tried, but if no good.. He will go GM 4.0

latent mural
#

why do they need o be fitted

fickle ore
#

maybe, not sure

#

because the switches are different height so pretravel and rebounce need to be fitted

latent mural
#

and I'd rather get mechanical ones, since a4tech doesn't especially say quality to me

fickle ore
#

gm, omrons, opticals are different height

#

slightly

latent mural
#

ah, ok

#

should just be a slight reshape of the button mold

#

but idk

fickle ore
#

yeah dont ask me, dunno why not.

#

I will be fine either way, but I bought it due to the optical switches. You don't get release delay, like you do with mechs.

#

For example logitech has 21ms delay and qsxcv's fw has 16ms

#

for release

latent mural
#

hardware debounce would solve that though ?

fickle ore
#

would it?

#

Idk

latent mural
#

or do you mean hysteresis?

#

that should be negligable for mouse switches

fickle ore
#

For example you can't press lmb+rmb on any mouse at the same time that I know of, there will always be 20ms difference due to release delay

#

but ive never seen hardware debounce

#

Wheel is scanned at 8khz and has hysteresis

karmic grail
#

Funnily enough I was about to sell the EC2A to a friend for like 20-30$

latent mural
#

got it to under 2 ms

fickle ore
#

If there is 20ms release delay, do you think in FPS games, you know one of those weapons which fire at key release,. such as Symmetra's right click? Would it be delayed by 20ms on Logitech's implementation?

latent mural
#

did it with a gpw

#

doesn't seem to be present

#

doesn't have hardware debounce

fickle ore
#

huh weird

#

got 0.0009999

latent mural
#

room is also pretty humid, so no doubleclicks

latent mural
#

ohh

#

ok

#

tbh I don't think the gpw has any debounce

#

that is why it double clicks

#

hardware debounce would solve that

#

the model o has a varaible software debounce

fickle ore
#

the gpw has 5ms delay on click tho

#

logitech been increasing it

#

dunno about release anymore.

latent mural
#

btw, the ability release should still be capped by game server tickrate

fickle ore
#

depends whether its clientside predicted?

latent mural
#

shouldn't matter tbh

#

ow is only 60 hz tickrate

#

maybe a tick later than you clicked it

#

with symetras rc definetley irrelevant

#

I'd be more worried about normal leftclicks not being registered correctly

#

on actual hitscan weapons

#

software debounce on mice

#

since no one is doing hardware debounces

fickle ore
#

oh, I think I gave it more thought. The release is instant, but everything after is delayed by 22ms on Logitech mice. So it shouldn't affect on-release type of weapons

#

I mean, everything is ignored for 22ms after release

latent mural
#

well not if you just click it

#

since minimum click time would be 22ms

#

which would be more than a server tick

#

but they don't have 22ms of debounce time

#

more like 10

fickle ore
#

I think its physically impossible to click within 22ms after release for the same key. The problem arises when you time lmb+rmb, for rocket jumps in quake.

latent mural
#

I couldn't replicate the problem you talk about

fickle ore
#

shrug

latent mural
#

they should also only apply software debounce per switch

fickle ore
#

but you're correct in that everything is capped by polling rate + fps + server tick rate.

latent mural
#

shouldn't be capped by fps

#

server tick rate is the bggest problem here

fickle ore
#

I do wonder though in which order everything is processed at the server tick

#

input is processed every frame, no matter if its using raw input or not

latent mural
#

if you had to hold right click and cast on release you ahve to expect 2 ticks of delay if you had 22ms of software debounce

#

which would be horrible on hitscan abilities

fickle ore
#

yea its not release delay, the release is instant but then after that release is registered, everything is ignored for 22ms for Logitech g303 atleast

latent mural
#

oh right

#

nevermind than

#

unlikely you get under that by hand

#

and it is lower on newer mice

fickle ore
#

Yeah it probably is

latent mural
#

you'd need to average like 40-50 clicks per second to get into problems with that

#

hardware debounce would still be better

fickle ore
#

holy shit game coding is hard

#

yeah

#

so you process gamestate at every tick (60hz) for overwatch and you have to calculate in 16.66ms, in which order to process all player inputs

latent mural
#

yea

#

in cs it is pretty random btw

#

it's not always the same order

#

even if one of the players is the host or running the server instance on his pc he is not prioritised

fickle ore
#

I think everything is clientsided, then the netcode just compares pings and deducts that from the arrival of packets.. So the lower pinger won't always win

latent mural
#

usually yes

#

there are some limitations to clientside

#

for example hit detection is done serverside in cs

#

otherwise people could just use a lagswitch to dump all bullets in an enemy

#

the server just get's were somebody shot and in what direction he was aiming + all information for rolling spread etc

#

so the shots always fly the same

#

but can hit on the client but not on the server

fickle ore
#

I see

latent mural
#

as well as you not seeing an enemy because you had a slight delay when he just came around a corner

#

128 tick would make those problems smaller

#

but people often blame 64 tick for being not good enough to hit someone

#

or enemies reacting faster

fickle ore
#

if you're playing at 60fps, and the server tick is 60hz.. If you fire during the 16ms window of fps, and the server tick is not aligned - you're magnifying the delay. Thats why I said you're capped by fps/polling rate aswell

latent mural
#

fps doesn't matter in that case though

fickle ore
#

because input is processed in the start of the next frame. It cannot be processed during the fps window

latent mural
#

since the game still runs at the tick rate on your client

#

the fps is just your renderer

fickle ore
#

server and your client aren't synced

#

I think

latent mural
#

yea

#

well, they are supposed to

#

but they aren't 100%

#

so you have your ping + the ping of the guy you are trying to shoot for it to be 100% good

fickle ore
#

but if you click anywhere within 16ms frame, it's processed in the next frame, amounting to 0-16ms of delay. If the server tick (60hz) happened at 5ms, it will happen again at 21ms -> so it magnifies the input delay which would be 16ms to 21ms for example

latent mural
#

yea

#

you also have to add ping though

fickle ore
#

aye

#

and debounce

latent mural
#

only for button release activations though

fickle ore
#

for activations aswell, if the debouce > fps

#

otherwise shifted to next frame

#

but ya incase of 60fps, and debounce of 5ms, it wouldnt shift to next frame
