noble oak Feb 16, 2020, 11:56 AM

#

actually italian seems like a straight forward language if you're just going to rock basics

#

they only use like.. 20 letters.

lucid sandal Feb 16, 2020, 11:56 AM

#

wtf I learn German

#

and it has many letters

noble oak Feb 16, 2020, 11:56 AM

german is hard

lucid sandal Feb 16, 2020, 11:56 AM

noble oak Feb 16, 2020, 11:57 AM

#

yeah the whole artikel thing

#

i just can't get my head around it heavily.

#

guess it builds up with time but becomes harder to learn when it's not built around your mother tongue

lucid sandal Feb 16, 2020, 11:58 AM

#

indeed

#

German is "similar" to Dutch, is what they say

#

there are 12 words for the

noble oak Feb 16, 2020, 11:59 AM

#

dutch seems a bit more stripped down IDK

lucid sandal Feb 16, 2020, 11:59 AM

#

it is

#

Dutch is a weird language with a lot of exceptions for a lot of words

#

my English has developed to be better than my Dutch

noble oak Feb 16, 2020, 12:00 PM

#

speaking perfect turkish with EN layout is also bit problematic lol

#

like those german letters, you gotta find their places

lucid sandal Feb 16, 2020, 12:01 PM

#

it's a hell to type in French with EN layout

noble oak Feb 16, 2020, 12:01 PM

now imagine having %60 keyboard.

o h h e l l n o

noble oak Feb 16, 2020, 12:02 PM

#

yeah i would never do less than TKL

#

87 keys is the least i'm shooting for if not it's definitely 108 or whatever.

lucid sandal Feb 16, 2020, 12:02 PM

#

I have TKL, don't need the extra keys

noble oak Feb 16, 2020, 12:02 PM

#

same, never use numpad

#

besides topre makes a standalone numpad

#

maybe ghetto one after you buy a TKL..

lucid sandal Feb 16, 2020, 12:04 PM

#

maybe if I ever want to advance in Blender or something

#

it might be useful

#

but until then

#

TKL is fine

noble oak Feb 16, 2020, 12:05 PM

#

buy small hercules DJ turntable, re-map the whole thing to use as streaming deck

#

big brain.

#

that way you get a pad controller with turntable and a streaming deck out of one device.

#

i don't have doubts that it could be confusing though

#

gonna need legit big brain.

lucid sandal Feb 16, 2020, 12:07 PM

pulsar fossil Feb 21, 2020, 5:44 PM

For some people a Mac Pro makes sense

Not very many

#

But for a few it does

#

I just miss the good old days when Apple made great laptops with fantastic keyboards

The 16" is supposed to be great but I really don't like it

64 k euros

it should not be reasonable for anyone

1k for a stand?

WHY

static pecan Feb 22, 2020, 12:24 AM

Because it's an Apple stand

That obviously means it's better, right?

Is a AMD RADEON RX 5700 Xt compatible with a dq67sw and a intel i7-2600

tribal silo Feb 23, 2020, 8:38 AM

#

Yes

#

Although you should be aware of some of the driver problems the 5700xt is having

timid wasp Feb 23, 2020, 9:41 AM

#

Should I get the 2060 instead then?

tribal silo Feb 23, 2020, 10:07 AM

#

Not sure the 5700xt outperforms

#

Driver issues aren't a problem for all users so you can take the chance I guess with the 5700xt

My setup is bad

static pecan Feb 23, 2020, 4:24 PM

#

@timid wasp if you're deciding between the 5700XT and a 2060 go with the 5700XT for more performance. The AMD drivers are pretty messed up rn although they don't effect everyone and you might not have any problems at all. On top of that, drivers can be fixed in the near future so I'd say it's worth it for the better performing card

timid wasp Feb 23, 2020, 4:53 PM

#

okay thank you

lucid sandal Feb 24, 2020, 2:07 PM

you should be fine if you install older drivers on AMD's website, that's what I did

pulsar fossil Feb 25, 2020, 7:56 PM

I suspect we use the exact same monitor, mousepad and keyboard

#

@oak burrow is that the Samsung Ultrawide?

#

📎 Annotation_2020-02-25_205736.jpg

#

@tribal silo might be that one :)

#

49" 32:9 monitor

tribal silo Feb 25, 2020, 7:58 PM

#

i was thinking of getting the samsung ultrawide

pulsar fossil Feb 25, 2020, 7:58 PM

#

It's great

#

Being able to split it into two 16:9 screens is fantastic

tribal silo Feb 25, 2020, 7:59 PM

#

Is it any good for gaming on

pulsar fossil Feb 25, 2020, 7:59 PM

#

And it's amazeballz for using the entire thing for video editing

#

I like it

tribal silo Feb 25, 2020, 7:59 PM

#

especially in a split screen aspect

pulsar fossil Feb 25, 2020, 7:59 PM

#

It's not 1440p but it still looks good

#

yeah that's def doable

tribal silo Feb 25, 2020, 8:00 PM

#

ok

pulsar fossil Feb 25, 2020, 8:00 PM

#

You do loose variable refreshrate in split screen mode

#

For obvious reasons

tribal silo Feb 25, 2020, 8:00 PM

#

yeah

pulsar fossil Feb 25, 2020, 8:00 PM

#

But more and more games works great with 32:9

#

I've played a lot of CoD:MW on it

tribal silo Feb 25, 2020, 8:01 PM

#

Yeah, seems like a good choice for an ultrawide

pulsar fossil Feb 25, 2020, 8:01 PM

#

And I def prefer playing wide over normal

tribal silo Feb 25, 2020, 8:01 PM

#

i mean especially for things like video editing

pulsar fossil Feb 25, 2020, 8:01 PM

#

They recently announced a new version at CES I think

#

with 1440p resolution

#

If you want even more pixels

tribal silo Feb 25, 2020, 8:01 PM

#

i might wait and see then

pulsar fossil Feb 25, 2020, 8:01 PM

#

And it comes in this crazy looking white

#

Looks like something out of Star Wars

#

I think the curve is bigger on the new one

#

https://www.theverge.com/2020/1/7/21055745/samsung-odyssey-g9-super-ultra-wide-gaming-monitor-ces-2020

The Verge

Samsung’s Odyssey G9 is the most extreme ultrawide gaming monitor

It’s so curvy that it pretty much fills your whole field of vision.

tribal silo Feb 25, 2020, 8:02 PM

#

what sort of graphics card do you think is capable of running at the best frames and refresh rates?

pulsar fossil Feb 25, 2020, 8:02 PM

#

(Still comes in black though)

#

I'm using a 2080ti

#

But I also like to run high settings and having 100+ FPS

tribal silo Feb 25, 2020, 8:03 PM

#

Which 2080ti

#

I have been looking at the gigabyte one

pulsar fossil Feb 25, 2020, 8:03 PM

#

Gigabyte actually :D

tribal silo Feb 25, 2020, 8:04 PM

oh nice

the white makes it look so good on the monitor

is the gigabyte worth the price?

But I think I'd say yes

I mean if this was at CES i may aswell just wait for its release

pulsar fossil Feb 25, 2020, 8:06 PM

#

@chilly edge knows a lot about it than me

#

yeah

#

But I doubt it will be cheap

#

1440p x2 at 240Hz

tribal silo Feb 25, 2020, 8:07 PM

#

easily over 1,000

pulsar fossil Feb 25, 2020, 8:07 PM

#

yeah

#

Meanwhile the old version sells for like 675£

#

At least here in Denmark

tribal silo Feb 25, 2020, 8:09 PM

#

probably best to get the graphics card now and then just wait and see what the price will be

pulsar fossil Feb 25, 2020, 8:09 PM

#

yeah

tribal silo Feb 25, 2020, 8:09 PM

#

not a massive downgrade with the current model i guess

pulsar fossil Feb 25, 2020, 8:09 PM

#

My only real issue with it is that the edges get a bit soft

#

Like the edge of the screen in the sides

#

If I have discord on the left then some times I can't quite tell if there's a new message on a server

#

You can if you look at it straight on

tribal silo Feb 25, 2020, 8:10 PM

right ok

pulsar fossil Feb 25, 2020, 8:12 PM

Just a little add in bonus info: when you split the monitor you can also go 21:9+10:9

tribal silo Feb 25, 2020, 8:12 PM

i would recommend a bigger mousepad, though I wish steelseries had a 3xl mousepad, since I am a fan of their brand, but they don't have the sized mousepad I want

uneven brook Mar 11, 2020, 2:52 AM

#

thats literally a massive mousepad but he would rather have his keyboard on it and monitor literally on top of his mouse

narrow panther Mar 11, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

my desk is pretty big, so the mousepad fits on it without me having to place monitor on top of my mousepad

#

I mean that is a pretty small desk, so the mousepad is a good sized, but I have a desk that is like 50$ from ikea and I can put a 3xl on it

fast jewel Mar 11, 2020, 11:51 AM

why do you need that big of a mousepad

@cunning scaffold I'd prob hold off on planning anything based on new hardware releases because of all the coronavirus stuff. There's a very good chance that all the trade shows and reveal events for Ryzen 4000 and new Nvidia stuff will be delayed/postponed

fast jewel Mar 12, 2020, 11:48 AM

@cunning scaffold ddr5 i doubt tbh.

cunning scaffold Mar 12, 2020, 3:14 PM

but would a b450 mobo support ddr5

chilly edge Mar 12, 2020, 4:02 PM

#

Nope

#

DDR5 will likely have a different pin layout

#

And possibly go beyond what a b450 can handle in terms of frequency

cunning scaffold Mar 12, 2020, 4:03 PM

#

so x570 and above?

chilly edge Mar 12, 2020, 4:05 PM

#

Still unlikely imo

#

I can't even remember much about DDR5

static pecan Mar 12, 2020, 4:07 PM

#

DDR5 will most likely require an entirely new generation of MOBOs to support it, and besides that it's still a long way off

chilly edge Mar 12, 2020, 4:07 PM

#

DDR3 uses a different pin layout to DDR4, probably will be the same for DDR5

static pecan Mar 12, 2020, 4:09 PM

We probably won't even see DDR5 until Ryzen 5000, but combined with all the coronavirus stuff it could be even later than that

Oh yeah btw, Radeon uses these weird numbers like 570, so which one is similar to a 1070?

here's a video of the issue too

someone mentioned that DSA/SA keycaps fit, would love to have confirmation

pulsar fossil Mar 15, 2020, 9:40 PM

#

@noble oak I obviously can't make any guarantees but I just tested taking a keycap off the Apex Pro I'm using and replacing it with one from an old Apex M500 and I can't see any problems

#

The keycap looks identical on the inside

noble oak Mar 15, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

@pulsar fossil ty for testing, the problem seems to concern keys with stabilizers for the most part, like spacebars, did you happen to test one of such keys?

pulsar fossil Mar 15, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

I can

noble oak Mar 15, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

that'd be helpful ty

pulsar fossil Mar 15, 2020, 9:43 PM

#

I like how's there's like a debug header under the spacebar

#

This message was written with the other spacebar and it works well :)

noble oak Mar 15, 2020, 9:44 PM

#

even when pressing it down with more force than usual? :3

if so, that sounds good

yeah the problem should be specific to thicker keys

like pbt ones

US only :(

noble oak Mar 15, 2020, 9:46 PM

bummer indeed

#

still, ty for the help.
at the moment i'm torn between the apex pro, streak pro and gmmk, this will help me decide :)

pulsar fossil Mar 15, 2020, 9:49 PM

#

What's the price on the Streak?

noble oak Mar 15, 2020, 9:49 PM

#

130€, it comes with ISO-ITA (which is what i use) unlike the other 2, but has silent reds only

pulsar fossil Mar 15, 2020, 9:50 PM

#

Gotcha

noble oak Mar 15, 2020, 9:50 PM

#

iso-de is close enough anyway

pulsar fossil Mar 15, 2020, 9:50 PM

#

Well it's a balance of the features you need vs price

#

And quality of course

#

I haven't tried the two others but I've enjoyed the Apex Pro

#

Though I don't really use the wristwrest in part because I use a big mousepad underneath

noble oak Mar 15, 2020, 9:52 PM

#

feature wise the apex and streak are head to head:
both have usb passthrough, a wrist rest, volume wheel and are readily available.
people talked about omnipoint switches exclusively positively, though i'm not sure i'd be able to appreciate the finer control it provides.

#

though i think i might end up regretting silent reds

pulsar fossil Mar 15, 2020, 9:52 PM

#

It's worth noting that not the entire keyboard uses Omnipoint

noble oak Mar 15, 2020, 9:52 PM

#

i got a tester and they feel numb af

#

i don't think i'd need omnipoint for Fkeys or the numpad anyway so it's good to me

pulsar fossil Mar 15, 2020, 9:53 PM

#

Good, just wanted to point it out :)

noble oak Mar 15, 2020, 9:55 PM

#

gmmk does come with much more selection, maybe even too much, but it has poopy software and terrible font on the keycaps.
if the streak pro was available with the same layout but regular cherry reds i think i'd probably go for it, but in this case it's tougher. x)

#

oh right i almost forgot, is each key's rgb addressable with the apex pro?
it used not to be the case on release

pulsar fossil Mar 15, 2020, 10:41 PM

#

@noble oak yeah every single key can have a different color set

noble oak Mar 15, 2020, 10:41 PM

#

dope

pulsar fossil Mar 15, 2020, 10:43 PM

#

And you can change all settings per key

#

You can define base effect (light when in use), reactive layer (what should it do when clicked) and AFK effect (light when not in use)

#

You can also choose what color caps lock, scroll lock and num lock should change to when active

noble oak Mar 15, 2020, 10:44 PM

#

that's neat :D

#

when it first launched there were just base effects, the same ones available from the keyboard menu itself

#

it was said they would've added it afterwards (seems they did!) though haven't heard any news since

pulsar fossil Mar 15, 2020, 10:48 PM

#

Ah, fair

fast jewel Mar 15, 2020, 11:00 PM

#

I still wonder why thats not the case on the m750

chilly edge Mar 15, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

@noble oak you can buy a barebones GMMK and then get your own Caps and switches

noble oak Mar 15, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

true, however that would be even more expensive and slower, plus i can only find us layout keycaps for the most part

#

that'd end up costing me ~170-200€ if i avoid using gmmk's keycaps (rather than 160) and i'd still want a kailh tester at that point.

#

plus gmmk's software remains meh at best

chilly edge Mar 15, 2020, 11:39 PM

#

ISO-IT keycaps, hm

noble oak Mar 15, 2020, 11:39 PM

#

    + good software
    + good price
    + full layout (no need for separate numpad)
    + iso-ita
    + included wrist rest
    ~ silent red only (i like reds, silent reds are frustratingly soft, close enough but hmmm)
    - no hotswap
    
GMMK - 160€ + 15€ for kailh tester
    + amazing switch selection
    + good wrist rest
    + hotswap
    + full layout
    + well priced
    ~ iso-de, ansi
    ~ veeery slow delivery
    - ugly keycaps, can add 10-40€ for different ones off aliexpress
    - shitty software
    
Apex pro - 230€
    + omnipoint switches - i like cherry reds and omnipoints would be good for both typing and gaming.
    + included wrist rest
    + good software
    + full layout
    + quick delivery
    ~ iso-de, ansi
    ~ below average customer support
    ~ average build quality
    - oversized leds could make it hard to find good keycap replacements, thick keycaps tend to get stuck when bottoming out```

#

that's my notes

#

iso-de is fine too tbh, they're reasonably close.
if i were to get separate keycaps then i'd want a few ones with random stuff on them to replace the stuff at the right of the 'PLM' column

chilly edge Mar 15, 2020, 11:42 PM

#

So, the symbols

noble oak Mar 15, 2020, 11:42 PM

#

yeah, having symbols for another layout irks me way too much in that area

#

x)

chilly edge Mar 15, 2020, 11:43 PM

#

I feel you

#

Most custom stuff is ANSI/American layout

#

Even just finding ISO-UK is hard, and that's more common than most other ISO layouts combined

noble oak Mar 15, 2020, 11:44 PM

#

in short, the streak pro has everything i need, but i doubt i'd enjoy silent reds, they feel way too numb.
apex pro is quite expensive and once the abs keycaps fade out it'll be more annoying to find a replacement.
gmmk is a middle ground, with hotswap

#

but still has cons compared to the streak pro, namely the terrible software

#

#

that's fnatic's

noble oak Mar 16, 2020, 12:56 AM

#

woah hmm the streak pro just momentarily dropped to 85€

#

now that's a painfully good deal tbh

narrow panther Mar 16, 2020, 1:10 AM

#

I have a mini streak, and I've had it for 4 years, Im thinking of upgrading to apex pro tkl

#

Also do you guys know how to get stretched resolution if I connect a laptop to another monitor?

#

Also my fnatic mini streak came with brown switches, so I was not limited to only silent reds

noble oak Mar 16, 2020, 1:29 AM

#

yeah it's just due to availability

#

@narrow panther anything noteworthy about the streak?

#

software acting up, hardware issues of any kind, how far the wrist rest can go from the space key

#

i'm torn, cause steelseries' software is a bit better and i'd like omnipoint switches much more. plus customization and tiny cute led screen (i know but damn it's cool).

#

but the price difference...

#

idk if it's worth the 145€ gap

#

also how were the keycaps in 4 years of use

narrow panther Mar 16, 2020, 1:33 AM

#

I mean, I like it, I had a membrane keyboard at the time, so I wanted a new mechanical keyboard, but I did not know the different types of switches, if I did, I would have picked silent reds, it was like 10 days ago that I realized it was brown switches. The keycaps also have been kept in great shape, so it looks brand new.

noble oak Mar 16, 2020, 1:34 AM

#

hah people tend to bash abs, the streak has cheaply made keycaps too in theory

#

i'm surprised they held 4 years

#

but then again my k350 literally has stickers for the letters and none of them faded

narrow panther Mar 16, 2020, 1:35 AM

#

They are clean, it's just that when I get o-rings to dampen the sound, I will have to clean the keyboard, since I've only cleaned it twice.

#

The last time I cleaned it was 2 years ago so yeah.

noble oak Mar 16, 2020, 1:37 AM

#

but yeah both seem fine, though the apex pro is definitely on the cooler side

#

but at 85€ it's hard to justify not getting the streak

narrow panther Mar 16, 2020, 1:39 AM

#

I found out on how to get the stretched res

#

Wait just curious, if you have Nvidia graphics card, can you use intel command center?

noble oak Mar 16, 2020, 1:40 AM

#

i would guess not

#

though i can't test

#

one last thing, what's the maximum distance between the spacebar and the wrist rest at its furthest position?

#

a lot of people have been saying the wrist rest is too close and/or small

narrow panther Mar 16, 2020, 1:43 AM

#

I dont use it, but I would estimate like 2 - 3 inches

noble oak Mar 16, 2020, 1:44 AM

#

2 inches sounds fine for my needs

#

(insert joke here)

narrow panther Mar 16, 2020, 1:44 AM

#

It is too thick, like if that makes sense. When I put my wrist on it, I can press the space bar, but it will hurt due to my finger being 2 cm above the space bar, so there is more travel distance

noble oak Mar 16, 2020, 1:45 AM

#

with the keyboard raised too?

narrow panther Mar 16, 2020, 1:45 AM

#

Yeah

noble oak Mar 16, 2020, 1:45 AM

#

hmm

#

tbh the wrist rest thing is hard for me to evaluate

#

since i have a k350

#

i'm spoiled af

narrow panther Mar 16, 2020, 1:49 AM

#

I just learned that u need intel processor 6th gen or above to run the command center, so AMD won't work with it

noble oak Mar 16, 2020, 2:02 AM

#

@narrow panther mind if i ask you for further help regarding your streak?

#

i ended up getting one too and my keycaps have a weird issue

#

📎 export.mp4

#

did you ever notice anything similar?

#

cause i'm thinking about asking for a refund and getting a streak pro instead

chilly edge Mar 19, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

what appears to be the issue?

noble oak Mar 19, 2020, 6:53 PM

#

the keys are somewhat sticky, unless i'm very precise when pressing each key down it will rumble/vibrate as it's being pressed

#

and it's absolutely terrible

#

though i cant really capture than on camera

#

it's like there's some sort of glue film on top of each keycap

#

i never this sort of thing happen, not once i've felt keycaps so bad. this includes all library/school/public keyboards on top of my own

#

i can only imagine the keyboard was left in storage for years (unusual layout, iso-ita, prolly not many sales) and this is the result

#

though between getting a keycap set and refunding + apex pro i'm leaning towards the latter

#

since at that point i'm spending a lot anyway x)

noble oak Mar 19, 2020, 8:39 PM

#

i'm mostly wondering if someone with a streak pro or apex pro noticed anything similar to this

narrow panther Mar 19, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

@noble oak My keys are wobbly, but they do not make that noise, also, yes, the keys are sticky on mine too. Also, where did you buy it?

noble oak Mar 19, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

amazon

narrow panther Mar 19, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

I got mine from best buy

#

It was on sale

noble oak Mar 19, 2020, 10:06 PM

#

oh that's odd, i asked a few other people and they seem to know nothing about the keys being sticky

#

does it happen that they kinda vibrate as you're pressing them down?

narrow panther Mar 19, 2020, 10:06 PM

#

Not really, they are just wobbly

#

That could be because there are no stabilizers

#

My friend, who has stabilizers on a keyboard makes it less wobbly

noble oak Mar 19, 2020, 10:07 PM

#

i mean they use cherry stems, keys that need it like enter or space do have stabilizers

#

atm i asked their support, i'll wait up to a week for a reply

#

if they can fix it then nice, otherwise ill go for the apex pro

#

cause it feels kinda terrible

#

it's similar to how your phone vibrates, but at random when pressing the key down

narrow panther Mar 19, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

For me, if you take the keycap off, the switches do feel wobbly if you move it gently

noble oak Mar 19, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

though i really like the silent red switches now that i have a full kb with them

#

do you have a switch tester?

narrow panther Mar 19, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

No, but I do have another keyboard

noble oak Mar 19, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

i got one and the switches feel the same

#

so idk

narrow panther Mar 19, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

Oh yeah, you could buy some new key caps.

#

But that would be more expensive

noble oak Mar 19, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

not more expensive than refunding and getting the apex pro

#

but at that point

narrow panther Mar 19, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

True

noble oak Mar 19, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

i may as well

narrow panther Mar 19, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

I would recommend Hyperx pbt pudding key caps, if steelseries makes keycaps, I would buy them.

noble oak Mar 19, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

good keycaps are closer to 40-60€

#

i have my eyes set on a kit i really like

#

which comes with a few novelty keys to replace the ones like è+òàù-

#

since looking for iso-ita keycaps is impossible apparently

narrow panther Mar 19, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

There are key caps from hyperx that are 18 euros to 23 euros

noble oak Mar 19, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

yeh but i really dont like having keys that dont math with what they do

#

i'd rather have random symbols instead

#

i mean, tai hao has some nice key caps

noble oak Mar 19, 2020, 10:14 PM

#

i'd put the random symbols on the right

narrow panther Mar 19, 2020, 10:15 PM

#

Banggood also has some nice key caps, but the shipping time is pretty long

noble oak Mar 19, 2020, 10:15 PM

#

those would be 'just' 31€

#

5 week shipping

#

for a total of 116€

#

though i would then be tempted to instead go for the apex at 195€

#

and just seal the deal

narrow panther Mar 19, 2020, 10:16 PM

#

I might get a apex pro tkl on my bday

noble oak Mar 19, 2020, 10:16 PM

#

mostly as a matter of principle tbh

narrow panther Mar 19, 2020, 10:17 PM

#

Just for the fastest switches

noble oak Mar 19, 2020, 10:17 PM

#

btw

#

i thought the streak would let u choose the color of each key

#

:O

#

i couldnt find the option

#

(nor i could find how to remove a macro tbh)

narrow panther Mar 19, 2020, 10:18 PM

#

I uninstalled the fnatic op software and re installed it

#

takes a bit of time, but it removes it

#

at least for me

noble oak Mar 19, 2020, 10:18 PM

#

smh

narrow panther Mar 19, 2020, 10:18 PM

#

Also

#

if you buy the streak from the official fnatic website, it lets you choose your switches

noble oak Mar 19, 2020, 10:19 PM

#

yeah but amazon price was much better

#

plus kinda late for that lol

narrow panther Mar 19, 2020, 10:19 PM

#

Yeah

noble oak Mar 19, 2020, 10:19 PM

#

silent reds feel good anyway, i thought i would've disliked em

#

but i dont mind at all

#

though tbh anything after 8+ years of k350 would feel good

#

in terms of switches

#

(ergo-wise the k350 is a slapper)

narrow panther Mar 19, 2020, 10:20 PM

#

Im getting o rings to reduce sounds on my streAK

noble oak Mar 19, 2020, 10:20 PM

oh yeah silent red is reeeeally quiet

narrow panther Mar 19, 2020, 10:20 PM

noble oak Mar 19, 2020, 10:20 PM

#

plus i dont have a heavy keypress at all

narrow panther Mar 19, 2020, 10:21 PM

I would have got silent reds and also put o rings on it

noble oak Mar 19, 2020, 10:21 PM

#

that would feel numb af

#

at that point go membrane lol

narrow panther Mar 19, 2020, 10:21 PM

#

e.e

noble oak Mar 19, 2020, 10:21 PM

#

but yeah if fnatic's support fixes the problem reasonably well, i'll stick with it

#

otherwise apex pro

#

asked but help on the mechkeys server and oh boi that was a shitstorm

#

everyone kept suggesting stuff that either wasn't what i needed or was actually impossible to buy x)

narrow panther Mar 19, 2020, 10:38 PM

#

I also have an idea to why it makes that noise

#

possibly your hands are either too sweaty

#

When I washed my hands, it reduced the noise

#

But that's just me

noble oak Mar 19, 2020, 10:44 PM

#

nope, tried with freshly washed and dried hands

#

it's 100% the keys

#

btw i was wondering, does the apex pro have a shortcut to mute audio?
the tiny button below the audio wheel has play/pause, forward and backward

#

can the audio wheel be pressed down to mute/unmute? :O

narrow panther Mar 19, 2020, 10:46 PM

#

I don't think so

#

if you press it down, it is like an enter key

noble oak Mar 19, 2020, 10:46 PM

#

then it has no mute button?!

narrow panther Mar 19, 2020, 10:46 PM

#

to adjust actuation point etc

noble oak Mar 19, 2020, 10:46 PM

#

i'd expect hold to menu

#

press once to mute

#

actually no you hold the button below it to enter the menu

#

2 tap forward 3 tap backward hold menu

#

im just assuming the audio wheel can be pressed like a mouse scroll wheel

#

but i'd like confirmation if someone happens to have the apex pro

narrow panther Mar 19, 2020, 10:58 PM

#

Imagine a mouse with omni point mouse switches

#

tbh I'd buy it

noble oak Mar 19, 2020, 10:59 PM

#

i had the pleasure to try razer basilisk v2

#

with the new optical switches

it felt crazy good to click

narrow panther Mar 19, 2020, 10:59 PM

razer g502

noble oak Mar 19, 2020, 10:59 PM

i had to replace it cause the software just wouldn't work

narrow panther Mar 19, 2020, 10:59 PM

noble oak Mar 19, 2020, 10:59 PM

my laptop has a ryzen 5 3550h, is that any good?

#

and two gpus, one is an rx560x and the other is vega 8 graphics

#

it has like 8gb of ram also

static pecan Mar 25, 2020, 7:48 PM

#

I'm using a laptop with the R7 3750H and the only difference between the r7 and r5 is a slight speed increase with the 7. It runs anything I throw at it (games, video editing, etc.) really smooth. I haven't had any problems with it. Mine has a GTX1650 which is leagues better than the 560x so the gaming performance will be worse on the GPU side, but if you aren't trying to play Shadow of the Tomb Raider on high or ultra settings or similarly GPU demanding games you should have a good experience @left kiln

#

Also 8GB of RAM is fine for most general things and even gaming a lot of the time, but if you have the money I'd get a 16GB kit and upgrade it

left kiln Mar 25, 2020, 7:50 PM

#

so both of my gpus kinda suck?

#

i think they are integrated

static pecan Mar 25, 2020, 7:52 PM

#

Pretty much, yeah. The laptop should be able to switch between the vega 8 (iGPU) and RX560X (dGPU) depending on the program you're running or whether it's plugged in or running off battery power, but they're both pretty low-tier

A lot of people use the desktop version for budget PC builds because of the price to performance. I'm not really sure about the laptop variant though. Then again the 3550h and 3750h are first gen Ryzen mobile so the 4000 series will improve on pretty much everything

#

it's like comparing apple and oranges...both are fruit but with sensible completely different properties and taste

pulsar fossil Mar 27, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

Not really

#

They are all operating systems

dark linden Mar 27, 2020, 5:37 PM

And look, I'm not saying Linux is bad in any way

#

I'm just saying there's very few people in the mainstream for whom Linux makes sense

dark linden Mar 27, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

you said macOS is better than Linux...

pulsar fossil Mar 27, 2020, 5:38 PM

For most people

it wasn't in your comment to the link

otherwise I wouldn't even had answered the way I did

#

You can never say that one OS is better for every single person than the other

dark linden Mar 27, 2020, 5:39 PM

#

Linux surely is not made for mainstream as some distro bakers tried to push in the past...

pulsar fossil Mar 27, 2020, 5:40 PM

#

Unless it's hot garbage like that community reverse engineered version of Windows

dark linden Mar 27, 2020, 5:40 PM

#

but macOS surely is not made for everyone as well...it implies people clearly not wanting to think.

#

There's an ongoing enforcing on nonsense in macOS which is making it hard to enjoy for me...

pulsar fossil Mar 27, 2020, 5:41 PM

#

Actually I disagree with the notion that macOS is for "simplicities sake"

#

You can tinker a lot with it if you want

#

Almost as much as with Linux

dark linden Mar 27, 2020, 5:41 PM

#

I don't know...as an app developer I find new restrictions each year...

#

I use macOS for work, and every year everything is made a lot simpler and a lot buggier...

#

I passed from unconditional love to unconditional WFT 😛

pulsar fossil Mar 27, 2020, 5:43 PM

#

It's just my opinion that unless you're a very specific person Linux doesn't make any sense for desktop use

dark linden Mar 27, 2020, 5:43 PM

#

it's the same for macOS...for the rest of the world Windows is still the most sensible choice

pulsar fossil Mar 27, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

macOS is a lot more user friendly

fast jewel Mar 27, 2020, 5:44 PM

agreed

pulsar fossil Mar 27, 2020, 5:44 PM

ubuntu has gotten really user friendly in the past year or so though

dark linden Mar 27, 2020, 5:44 PM

so user friendly that tells the user what to do, and that's it 😉

I would get the Apex 5 but I just can't do blues. They're wayyy too loud for my household at night

cheap

if the Apex 5 came with reds or browns, I would've bought it already

the m400 has red i think

kalih switches i think

#

just saw on reddit that its a cherry mx red clone

#

certainly quiet

#

sadly you cant buy it (new)

i think

#

it was 50 dollars US when i bought it (about)

awhh

#

that would be perfect

muted viper Mar 29, 2020, 5:20 AM

#

yeah i love SS keyboards but their keycaps are bad compared to the switches and SSE (their keycaps are not terrible)

#

they are just the laser engraved ABS keycaps i think

#

which means they rub off eventually and start to feel ehh

#

but the software makes me not mind spending 20-50 dollars on keycaps

#

you can customize every key on the keyboard excluding the function key

#

i think

What monitor is that?

Been looking to upgrade mine but i cant find anything i like

pulsar fossil Mar 29, 2020, 6:42 PM

#

Samsung 49" ultrawide

#

3840x1080

#

144 Hz

#

Can be split into two

It's basically two 27" monitors put together

zinc flume Mar 29, 2020, 6:42 PM

split into 2?

pulsar fossil Mar 29, 2020, 6:43 PM

Show two 1080p inputs

Does it use dual video cables or just one?

Two for dual

But otherwise one is enough

Why show 3 monitors if it is equivalent to 2

You can switch between inputs?

Not sure why they are showing 3 monitors there

celest schooner Mar 30, 2020, 1:34 AM

#

@pulsar fossil looks great. However, not sure you have a big enough screen. id look into investing in a bigger one 😛

#

@pulsar fossil what is the lighting effect your using on the apex pro?

narrow panther Mar 30, 2020, 1:41 AM

#

I have 1 27" monitor, 60 Hz and that is plenty for me. Though I will be most likely getting a 27" 240 Hz Monitor or a 24" 240 Hz Monitor. Most likely going for 27", however if I don't find a good deal on it, I will buy a 24 " Monitor.

#

I'm looking at a Samsung 27" CRG5 240Hz Curved Gaming Monitor

#

for 400 dollars, so not bad

narrow panther Mar 30, 2020, 2:16 AM

#

Also I will finally have a dual monitor setup, so I will get notified if anyone @ me on discord

narrow panther Mar 30, 2020, 3:34 AM

#

Btw @celest schooner That screen is huge, most people have a regular 24" monitor, which is way smaller than that monitor.

Uh, does it hold well with that huge resolution? I am still undecided between 2 IPS 240Hz and a single 21:9 144Hz...I want more space for working rather than gaming...but the recent support of Doom, AoE and many other games to the extended res makes the option interesting...

narrow panther Mar 30, 2020, 8:16 PM

Mine is a claw but my pinky is on the right grip side and my middle finger is on the scroll wheel, for easy bhops, therefore my ring finger is on mouse 2

warm jolt Mar 30, 2020, 8:48 PM

#

@low vigil the googled picture is actualy claw,

#

but the first looks more like a palm

#

it might be a palm-claw hybrid

fast jewel Mar 31, 2020, 2:03 AM

@warm jolt fingertip

#

?

narrow panther Mar 31, 2020, 2:45 AM

#

For me a hibrid is where your fingers touch the very front of the buttons, but the middle of your fingers dont touch it at all if that makes sense

#

So I dont think it is fingertip

fast jewel Mar 31, 2020, 5:31 AM

i do palm grip but I can see yours working too - just not on mine as it also has a rest area for ring finger

pulsar fossil Mar 31, 2020, 6:55 PM

#

In terms of building one?

#

Determine your budget and what you wanna be able to achieve with it

narrow panther Mar 31, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

First you need a pc or a laptop, or a monitor, then focus on Peripherals such as mouse, keyboard, headphones, etc. Then focus on upgrading your PC so you can run games at decent fps

#

Also I agree with Lennart

languid marten Mar 31, 2020, 7:52 PM

#

Well my budget right now would be about $800-$950, and all I want to do is be able to talk to my friends and run decently sized games at decent fps.

#

Decent*

narrow panther Mar 31, 2020, 9:42 PM

Check out Joey Delgado, he builds pc's that fits your budget, I recommend you check out his $900 Build, or $800 build.

In his $900 build, he assumes you know how to build a pc, as he skips and cuts most of the tutorial to save time

?

I already have a mouse keyboard and a monotor

i just ordered the Arctis pro wireless

narrow panther Apr 1, 2020, 6:39 PM

No, a smaller pc can run just fine, it is just that you need to get a better graphics card to get higher frame rates

Look at Joey Delgado, or the video above, he makes quality pc's for every type of budget

how much ram do i need

narrow panther Apr 1, 2020, 6:45 PM

#

Depends on what you want to use it for

noble oak Apr 1, 2020, 6:45 PM

#

is 16gb good

narrow panther Apr 1, 2020, 6:45 PM

#

Yes, that is the most common amount of ram

#

though the more the better

noble oak Apr 1, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

so if im going to play overwatch and call of duty and gta how much ram would i need

narrow panther Apr 1, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

Also, if your MOBO has 4 ram slots, make sure they are not side by side, because if you get 16GB of ram, and you place it wrong, it will only read 8GB of ram

noble oak Apr 1, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

Ok what is MOBO

narrow panther Apr 1, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

For those, I would recommend 16GB of ram

#

Motherboard

noble oak Apr 1, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

I not that savy on computers

#

ok thanks

#

the mother board im thinking about is the asus B450 F

narrow panther Apr 1, 2020, 6:48 PM

#

It depends on which processor you use

#

Different MOBO have different pin slots

#

Or Chipset I should say

noble oak Apr 1, 2020, 6:50 PM

#

so do they make a 1tb ssd

narrow panther Apr 1, 2020, 6:50 PM

#

Yes

#

But they will cost more

noble oak Apr 1, 2020, 6:50 PM

#

ok

narrow panther Apr 1, 2020, 6:51 PM

#

Also about the Ram, if you want to stream or be a content creator, then you might need more Ram to assist you with bigger files

noble oak Apr 1, 2020, 6:51 PM

#

I dont stream

#

also do you have any brand recommendtions for a 1tb ssd

narrow panther Apr 1, 2020, 6:53 PM

narrow panther Apr 1, 2020, 6:55 PM

The one with less space is cheaper

#

on sale about $80

#

but it is your choice on how much storage you want on it

noble oak Apr 1, 2020, 6:56 PM

yeah once I fnish my list of parts ill send it if you want
