since it's the same chip with more cache it won't make a difference at all for some parts so it's just less likely to be worth it even after a decade

Ah lovely. A chip for a card you'll never be able to buy

#

I'll take that too if you dont want it anymore

crimson wigeon
#

I'll take it, definitely wouldn't mine on it!

halcyon moss

shadow minnow
#

It a great mouse

#

Use it as daily driver for like two years now, or one and a half

#

Once thought it was failing but was sth strange, works now

#

I also had RGB flickering and stuff

empty wren
#

Since this wireless could see why it has issue

shadow minnow
#

Mouse sensor not detecting movement

#

Even with cable

empty wren
#

Oh

shadow minnow
#

But then next day it worked and since then works fine

empty wren
#

Sounds like either a bad connection

#

Could maybe been corrosion

pale sigil
#

Like I said I have the none wireless. Version cc

#

XD

empty wren
#

Well good

shadow minnow
#

But imo perfectly fine using it wirelessly, it great

pale sigil
#

G403

#

Is the exact same

#

In everyway

shadow minnow
#

Sorry me confused

empty wren
shadow minnow
#

Well had it for long

#

And still battery lasts so so long

#

Usually weeks

#

Idle battery consumption is really low so it Pog

empty wren
#

Do you use lighting?

shadow minnow
#

Also you can use wireless charging or mod QI one to charge it daily then no way battery days

shadow minnow
empty wren
#

The logo

#

Lights up right

shadow minnow
#

Oh I do

#

But it auto turns off If mouse isn’t moved for a few minutes

#

Yet it lasts long

empty wren
#

Guessing non Bluetooth?

shadow minnow
empty wren
#

Right okay

pale sigil
#

It looks like it's been hard at least once

#

XD

pale sigil
#

The g703 is basically a refresh of the g403 wireless

shadow minnow
#

Honestly imo wireless mouses really worth it. Nice for kb but not that useful. But for mouse it’s great

pale sigil
#

Ik hence getting it xD

empty wren
#

People can play on couch with wireless keyboard or that cyberboard just looks nicer without it

pale sigil
#

Wouldn't mind a wireless keyboard that wasn't poo

#

Or Bluetooth

shadow minnow
pale sigil
#

Usually I'd disagree

#

The extra cost ain't worth it

empty wren
pale sigil
#

But it's the same price as the wired now

#

And also I didn't pay for it

shadow minnow
empty wren
empty wren
#

So many people bought it

neat oriole
#

Wireless keyboards are kind of a security risk

pale sigil
neat oriole
#

Bluetooth keyboards aren’t even encrypted half the time

#

Plus it’s not like you move your keyboard around, so being wireless doesn’t make it functionally better

empty wren
#

Some people hate wires

neat oriole
#

Unless you sit extremely far away from your PC

empty wren
#

I guess some use them on the couch as well

#

Not much else I can add to that

shadow minnow
neat oriole
#

When I mean move around I mean move around like a mouse

#

If you’re just like adjusting the position of your keyboard that doesn’t really benefit from being wireless

shadow minnow
#

Kinda but yeah definitely not as much as mouse

empty wren
#

But bexin

#

What if your keyboard had a mouse sensor

#

Imagine that

twin obsidian
empty wren
#

Oh okay

wheat plume

so many innuendos...

Companies are willing to pay for contracts costing tens of thousands of dollars to just have the equipment work. Call a number and someone should come to fix any problem it might be.

empty wren
#

I thought many of them rent it with insurance

pale sigil
#

My cousins confirmed my eyes are fucked

#

I asked him to play some games and tell me if it's. Smooth to. Him

#

He was it's buttery

#

60fps just feels dogshit to me I guess

ashen spindle
#

are you sure he's not used to 60hz and thus cant see it?

pale sigil
#

Between 60 and 90

#

He uses 144 but I was convinced even at 60-70 there were issues

reef tundra
#

dogekek They just havent seen the light yet

ashen spindle
#

well hard to say, after all you did show us some videos where we could see the issue sometimes

#

basically just a confirmation on CES they will announce rembrandt during amd keynote

wheat plume
#

Isn't their base Intel model like $1200?

#

And AMD model for $1300?

wheat plume
#

this is amazing

pale sigil
#

Oh it's slightly different

empty wren
#

Looks fatter

pale sigil
#

Very very very similar

#

Pic doesn't help

empty wren
#

I see

#

You just got a bad angle of the mouse

pale sigil
#

ye

empty wren
#

Still looks a bit bigger though

reef tundra
#

Left one is larger

#

little shorter in length too?

empty wren
#

Yeah that too

neat oriole
#

Can’t tell if actually smaller or just scuffed fov

#

And lens distortion

reef tundra
#

Measure it

reef patrol
pale sigil
#

huh?

#

which one?

shadow minnow
#

Pretty sure both are right handed

#

Especially button wise

reef tundra
#

One is clean, the other is not

shadow minnow
#

Not really cleanness

#

Finger oil

#

Can’t get rid of that by cleaning

#

Looks same on ABS keycaps

pale sigil
#
#

im so confused

shadow minnow
#

Well sure but talking about reflections from top

reef tundra
#

Reflections?

#

oh yea, one is shiny

shadow minnow
#

Yeah

reef tundra
#

More polished🧐

shadow minnow
#

They maybe same material very likely

#

Here new vs used ABS caps

reef tundra
#

They might be made from the same material. Also that sentence reads.. weird

pale sigil
#

@reef tundraits like 3 or 4 years old

If cable gets boring, ditch it and go wireless

#

Honestly very good and comfy mouse

chrome estuary
#

I have the ornata v2 keyboard and I love it

pale sigil

quite dissapointed

#

g305 with your own battery lasts forever

chrome estuary
#

I also use a Logitech MX ergo for everything

pale sigil
#

well not literally

reef tundra
chrome estuary
#

everything

reef tundra
#

You even use the keyboard with it

pale sigil
#

Problem solved

pale sigil
#

At 65% battery the following

With RGB on 1000 polling rate = 22 hours
With RGB off 1000 polling rate = 39 hours
With RGB off and 125 polling rate = 68 hours
With RBG on and 125 polling rate = 29 hours

tfw yt nor twatch notify you about nasa streaming the telescope launch on your day off

ashen spindle
#

125 polling tf

#

might as well say you get longer battery life by turning your mouse off

pale sigil
#

Holy fuck

#

its only 250mah

#

the g305 can fit a 3000mah battery in it

pale sigil
ashen spindle
#

oh so you just looked it up and didn't use it that long lmao

pale sigil
#

all them numbers are from my own testing

ashen spindle
#

at 125 hz????

#

wtf

ashen spindle
#

yes thats what I meant, you didnt actually use it for 60 hours at 125hz lmao

pale sigil
#

ahaha nooo

#

sorry

#

Pretty fucking bad ngl

#

G403 lasts months with a near idential sensor but it also supports up to 3000mah

#

idk why logitech used such a bad battery?

#

G4305 is smaller

#

and can use a much larger battery

#

its prob cos of weight freaks

#

more plastic than battery

#

seems it can be upgraded

@pale sigil the sensor in the G403 is just inefficient as fuck, the g703 hero does like 3-4 times the runtime on the same size of battery

#

A better scamming tool to use on jackasses with too much money has never been invented.

#

It's just so fucking braindead to make an NFT.

#

Like...

#

Literally use a Perlin noise library for javascript and randomize a color layer, each one will be unique, sell higher activity ones for more.

#

Braindead NFT might take 2 days to make and test.

#

Maybe an afternoon to mass upload.

#

And it's not like you can't force artificial scarcity to push the price on some NFTs.

#

Part of me understands why Ubisoft wants it so fucking much.

#

But fuck those dudes.

reef tundra
#

mm Setup multiple wallets and trade between them a lot.

young pecan
#

You don't even need to do that.

#

Have your floor price at .05 Eth and take royalties from trades on Opensea.

#

And once you establish you set your floor price for 'new' NFTs to .1 Eth.

#

Literally braindead money, it's possibly the single easiest way to make tax free income.

#

Look at this.

#

What the fuck? This sold for 1.8 Ethereum. SEVEN THOUSAND US DOLLARS. ._.

crimson wigeon
#

The question is, how many of those transfers are real and not just people trading amongst friends to make it look like there's value

young pecan
#

Doesn't really matter, does it?

#

Let's say you spent 2 days and a bunch of bullshit transfer Eth, assume 3 people buy NFTs for maybe 1.5 Eth each, you just spent 2 days and maybe a few dozen TX fees on the fuckin' Polygon network (kek) to make over 10 grand.

#

At that little effort it doesn't really matter how few of them sell, eh? So long as you make enough cash to justify 2 days of easy code work then it's green, no?

young pecan
old marlin
#

really a solid 9k USD image

#

ngl

young pecan
#

Oh this is only a recent buy, my dude.

#

Some of these fuckin' things are pushing 20k each.

#

30k each.

old marlin
#

I mean

young pecan
#

Occasionally, rarely, they can even do upward of 250k each.

old marlin
#

even the fucking shitty monkey family usually at least looks better than this

reef tundra
young pecan
#

Yes, yes it is.

old marlin
#

I mean

#

there are a lot of stupid people

#

with too much money

young pecan
#

Never underestimate the human capability for idiocy.

crimson wigeon
#

Yeah, a lot of these NFTs are butt ugly and are lazily generated with only a few different parts

#

young pecan

^

#

And they really truly are unique.

#

Only on that blockchain.

crimson wigeon
#

Uniquely shit

young pecan
#

Nah, there's some interesting use there.

young pecan
#

Problem is you'd need an ecosystem that gives them real value.

old marlin
#

someone paid 8.8 ETH for that

young pecan

reef tundra
#

angry_noot Can we know the actual change of ownership has occurred in the listed price.

crimson wigeon
#

SMIRK AND CHALKBOARD! Both super rare traits!! OMG GOTTA HAVE IT!!!!

old marlin
#

we can;t really

#

I mean it is the only listed sales price

young pecan
old marlin
#

but I doubt the creator would "buy" it from himself for 30k USD and then list it for 300k

#

with a single listed sale

young pecan
#

See, most of the time what happens is they'll airdrop a bunch of NFTs and some rares.

#

From there FOMO takes over.

reef tundra
#

mm The last one left holding the bag pays for it all

old marlin
#

unsure why people even list them at stuff like 88 ETH

young pecan
#

Because they fucking sell, my guy.

old marlin
#

besides just hoping some random hype hits

empty wren
#

Just bid a bit then go offline to screenshotmm

young pecan
#

People literally will pay 88 Eth for that.

old marlin
#

and the entire market gets swept up

#

crimson wigeon
#

Unique one of a kind! Sooner or later it'll be usable in the metaverse too!!!!

old marlin
#

not just any random shit

young pecan
#

Look, look.

#

I'll go find an example.

old marlin
#

meanwhile

young pecan
#

LOOK AT THIS SHIT.

#

Y'know how fucking braindead that is to make?

#

Omfg.

old marlin
#

yea but no price history

young pecan
#

Literally 50 Eth.

old marlin
#

also I think a stolen TF2 model

young pecan
#

Probably.

#

3 offers for 50Eth on it.

reef tundra
#

mm Technically you also dont really own anything. Since it is bound to the wallet, not you

old marlin
#

if the image even is in the blockchain

young pecan

#

and not just a link to it

#

SIXTY SIX ETH.

old marlin
#

well

#

still better than 3 of the shitty chalk guys

#

ah wait

#

pepeg memory of myself

reef tundra
#

mm Many have come to discover they actually bought a link to hopefully the image. Host goes down, changes domain and well image goes bye bye. The links are practically permanent once commited and statically linked.

old marlin
#

yep

#

even better

#

host can manipulate the image

crimson wigeon
#

True, although some seem to know about that and do IPFS links instead that theoretically are more resilient

reef tundra
#

Only way to make it work without making a new nft is making the link target work again

old marlin
crimson wigeon
#

Well whoever got suckered into owning such an image deserves it

old marlin
#

you can directly write the image data in the blockchain

#

is more expensive though

#

still stupid concept

reef tundra
#

Only use one could technically use that for is being a horribly computationally expensive and slow databasepepesweat

#

Hmm

#

What if blockchain is just a worse implementation of git

old marlin
#

It is just a database

young pecan
#

There's defo use for NFTs, but the problem is the use requires real supported technologies that're actually used.

#

Like if you had a real videogame that allowed the earning and use of NFTs with a capped price to them, cheaper than MTX in current games, then I'd consider it an interesting experiment.

#

Issue there is that the game doesn't exist, the underlaying tech isn't fast enough or resilient enough, and nobody is putting development or compute into the tech required.

#

Theoretically NFTs good, practically (with current tech) NFTs bad.

old marlin
#

Nothing new though

#

There are games that log EVERY piece of currency

#

From drop to item shop

#

No matter what

crimson wigeon
#

What you telling me you can do such things without a blockchain?!?!

So probably just firmware

young pecan
#

C'mon, they're such a perfect scam tool.

#

And uber rich asshats? Those are everywhere, I'm fine smacking them around a little.

#

Who other than an uber rich moron is paying house money for the link to a picture of a monkey?

empty wren
#

But but

#

It is Chad curious George

young pecan
#

Actually tbh I think the monkey NFTs actually do have legitimate use.

#

Basically the more you have the more levels of club you're invited to.

#

Anybody with 5 mil worth of fucking monkey NFTs is either rich and thus a good connection to have and exploit, or they have power and are thus a good connection to exploit.

But even then

I would not give up .1% of my income or net worth for images of funny monkeys

young pecan
#

Kinda tells you that if you're buying that much in NFTs it's probably going to be 1 of 2 kinds of people.
Either you're running on inherited money or luck money, or you're actually insanely rich and you may as well try everything since you're well beyond everybody else already.

#

And c'mon, if you're part of the first group I think there's decent odds you're a fuckin' dumbass.

AMD Radeon Super Resolution is FSR but for all games AMD couldn’t just let NVIDIA Image Scaling steal any attention from FSR, which is why the company has been working on a new implementation of its FSR technology, this time, however, working in ‘nearly’ all games.  The word ‘nearly’ is actually pretty straightforward, the technology […]

#

and so the saga of my broken middle click continues, for RMA purposes I had to cut the usb cable, however I have everything I need to make a replacement cable.
Ordered a replacement switch as well. (kailh Mute) I thought the original thing would have been rated for 100k - 300k clicks but it was actually 1m which is not that bad for such a button.
Problem is just that you essentially press it at an angle and because they chose a relatively high 9.5mm one that made things worse.

So not bad to end up with two mice in the end after an RMA and a bit of work.

#

Just have to wait for the switch to arive.

old marlin
#

Kailh mute switches monkas

#

That is like upgrading your mech to a random office rubberdome

thick elk
#

Any better suggestions for 6.2x6.2x9.5 switches that are readily available

old marlin
#

No

#

Random aliexpress whatever

thick elk
#

Yea, that would fail a bit too soon.

#

I never tried them, will see, it's mmb anyway.

old marlin
#

Would still be kailh

#

Or ttc

#

Or huano

#

Not something giga horrid

thick elk
#

the original was ttc, but searcing on ali I only found kailh mute or nondescript 100k click rated

old marlin
#

Rating means nothing

#

Mice don't run switches in spec

thick elk
#

true, but if your rating is 30 times lower, that could tell you something about them being crap right?

old marlin
#

No

#

Omron 20M lasts longer in a mouse than Omron 50M or 70M

#

Just because the higher durability ones were made for higher mechanical durability

#

And close the contacts softer

#

Which worsens the electrical durability

#

Which matters when that is the failing point

#

Cause you run your switches at 3 or less volt

#

Instead of 30 or more

thick elk
old marlin
thick elk

Never tried kailh mute, if they are crap I could always try again.

golden girder
#

Some thermal images of my W1 which I use for testing:

#

The hot spot is the voltage regulation which converts the 5V from USB to the 3.3V of the board. The MCU is the little heat spot to the right.

reef patrol
#

Fancy equipment.

reef tundra
#

Yea, voltage regulators pretty much just burn the excess voltage.

#

Great for low power application blobaww

golden girder
#

Haven't looked at the newer Lekker PCB yet.

#

So with a better voltage regulation the Wooting would may be in spec with the USB power draw.

reef tundra
#

I wonder if the LEDs are using 3.3V or 5V

golden girder
#

I think all the components use the 3.3V voltage rail.

golden girder
reef tundra
#

I was thinking, why not use the 5V instead. But then realised it wouldnt change much as the resistors will just burn it instead. octo

golden girder
#

They can operate from 2.7 to 5.5V.

reef tundra
#

Modern microcontrollers are more picky in their voltage. But atmel is really generous with their voltage ranges

Yeah, haven't looked closely to the voltage regulation because I'm not familiar with that stuff but if it really creates the 3.3V by shorting it it should not matter that much.

But by using 5V for the LED controller there is maybe more power left on the 3.3V line.

reef tundra

The amount of heat the voltage regulator will produce has P(heat) = (Uin - Uout) * I

#

Typical use is couple watt max

But I is Imax right?

But it will waste energy even when there is no load.

Ideal one, wouldnt. Real world ones do

Quiescent current its called, i think

Not much, the AMS1117(generic/jellybean voltage regulator) has this in the couple miliampere. Some other voltage regulators might be microamperes

And other than having far less latency

for the same bandwidth

It's not that different from TB3

as pcie gen 3x8

I guess?

So, 2 TB4 ports is 3x16? lul

shadow minnow

Isn’t TB4 limited to same bandwidth?

#

As 3

cursive summit

40 gbps

#

But the latency is far smaller

old marlin
cursive summit
#

Therefore performance is a lot improved

#

I think they gave TB4 either faster PCIe protocol or more lanes

shadow minnow
cursive summit
#

Cause the gbps didn't change

#

But perf went way up

#

TB3 => TB4

shadow minnow
#

It’s not really 4x4 if it has same bandwidth

cursive summit
#

Throughput doubled

#

Iirc TB3 was same as "2 lanes"

TB4 became "4 lanes"

#

If you can call it that

shadow minnow

Yeah but it could operate in 4 lanes mode too afaik, TB3

Just wasn’t defined by spec

Dunno I haven't done too much research on the topic

But I love TB and I'd never get an ultrabook without that port lul

any experience on water and dust resistance of the 2 HE? I'm mainly switching away from mechanical switches as I always kill them with water. Optical switches seem to be rather resilient in that regard (original Wooting 2 being out of stock EVERYWHERE sadly), but hall effect-switches seem to be more easily disturbed, according to what I found on the web?

ashen spindle

well unless you dunk them into a sink it's also hard for water to get into the case with it being closed and the keys acting like umbrellas a bit

#

but so far everyone who had spillings was able ot easily clean it from what I could see here

shadow minnow
#

Don’t think there is really anything water could do to Lekker switches, probably even less than to opticals. Pcb is not waterproof but usually can be saved from water damage. 60HE however is supposed to be to some extend waterproof

Would be interesting if two HE got updated too to get more waterproof imo tbh.

@pallid totem@fair gull USB 4 supports TB3 as an optional feature. While any hub and dock must support it, devices and hosts don't need to. Regardless, any device which supports TB need to get a vendor ID from Intel. Devices which support TB4 can also support USB 4 but they don't need to. Right now only TB4 is actually available but USB 4 isn't. So no, a device can support both or just one of them. Like it was in the past it's much likely that you don't have TB4 on AMD systems. While I assume AMD will support USB 4 natively at some point I would assume they don't support TB3.

#

Yes TB4 should be always 40 Gbit where that is optional for USB 4. But who knows, USB 4 is heavily delayed by now. So maybe Gen 3 will be required (for a host) when it comes out. 🙂

USB 4 is different than TB4. They use different wires and signal encoding, they only share the same plug. Even TB3 is tunneled when supported in USB 4.

ashen spindle
#

usb 4 news should hopefully come on the 4th with new laptop announcements

golden girder
#

I participated in a (USB 4) workshop from the USB IF a year ago, they told that USB 4 will come in spring this year. So maybe it will come next year. 😅

ashen spindle
#

lol

#

well linux drivers more or less confirmed next gen mobile cpus from amd will have usb4

#

and we recently also had someoneone from intel accidently showing a picture of thunderbolt 5 testing

golden girder
#

Writing the driver should not be the problem. But creating the chips for them is. Maybe the chip crisis hit them hard.

ashen spindle
#

no I meant there were kernel commits found that explicitly state certain cpu IDs to support it, which usually only happens if a feature will actually end up in those chips

golden girder
#

It's likely for sure. But I would be still surprised if the support first comes integrated within a CPU and not as a dedicated chip.

could be, dont know how much bigger the die space would be but I doubt it's so much more that they wouldn't put it on the cpu

And yes, I know TB4=USB4 is a misnomer, but USB4/TB4 is the first generation of these diverging peripheral technologies where you finally can use any cable with any device on any host that supports Somethingv4. (But watch them screw that up anyways... 😛 )

golden girder
#

@pallid totem Only because you can use the same cable it doesn't mean they are compatible. Where did you read that TB4 will be compliant with USB4. As far as I know this isn't true.

golden girder
#

@pallid totem I don't really believe that and assume they get it wrong. That would mean that the current TB4 devices would already support USB 4 too which isn't the case.

pallid totem
golden girder
#

As far as I know the protocol is ready and only the chips for USB 4 are delayed. By that there is no reason why USB 4 wouldn't work already with TB4.

pallid totem
#

I don't have any USB4/TB4 devices myself yet as I'm waiting for the AMD socket refresh, but I tend to take what I can get from the hardware manufacturers themselves, over what random people on the internet claim.

golden girder

@pallid totem You didn't quote anything from Intel itself. These are only tech news which are kind of old too. You can belive that you want, we will see who is right in the end.

pallid totem

Go look up the JHL8540 or JHL8340 host controller specs then.

#

Or the JHL8440 device controller. It's in the whitesheets.

golden girder
#

Of course I assume in the end there will be most likely solutions supporting both but I don't believe TB4 supports USB 4 all the time.

#

Especially because there is no current USB 4 device or host.

The Razer TB4 dock says nothing about USB 4 and is already available.

ashen spindle

marketing crap as usual

golden girder
#

Sadly even the top tier AMD 5000 mobile CPUs didn't had PCIe Gen4 for all their lanes. Only for the internal graphics.

ashen spindle
#

given that laptops usually dont need as much bandwidth that was probably done for higher margins

golden girder
#

I would assume due to power...

ashen spindle
#

hm both possible I guess, was mostly thinking most laptop makers didn't want to make the more expensive lane routing

golden girder
#

I would expect the IO chip would be the same and so not influence the margin that much. But PCIe 4 need much more power. That's why you needed a fan on the older chipsets.

#

There are not much lanes anyway. So having the 4 Gen 4 lanes for the SSD would be nice.

@shadow minnow Forward to your PCs IP, enable static IP, disable firewall.

If it works under those conditions, start adding shit back.

shadow minnow
young pecan
#

The static IP set correctly on the router side?

shadow minnow
young pecan
#

That’d be why.

#

Set a static IP on the PC itself and forward the port to that specific address.

Or if you have a router with DMZ host that can cause problems because of stupid settings.

#

(Don’t leave DMZ host on)

shadow minnow
#

it off atm

young pecan
#

Mmmm.

#

Tbh it’s probably some bad setup on either the router or firewall side.

Just be sure you have your port ranges checked. Port forwarding can sometimes be annoying like that.

What it’s typically used for is to enable a security free disposable host machine that’s often on it’s own subnet. Tertiary firewall, that kind of shit.

shadow minnow

so

youre kinda fucked if your isp has DSLite running

which it most likely does

young pecan

In that case use a TLD with an A and SRV record set.

Just bind the port to the TLD, bypass your ISP.
