flat dew

flat dew
#

cedar shore
weak basin
#

can you move the bookselh

#

because you might get a little more desk space

cedar shore
#

Yeah, I was planning on doing that, I have some things to clear on the other side of it first tho

foggy island
#

The key is worth probably a few thousand less then the phone lol
@honest sparrow phone is 100% fine and its only an iphone 7

weak basin
#

zinc needle

foggy island
#

i hate my 7 i had a 6s before this

#

i hate how small it is

zinc needle
#

@cedar shore i like the angled case for the exhaust even though there's no intake

weak basin
#

lmao

cedar shore
#

Yeah, the cooling on my PC is not so good

weak basin
#

lol yeah

#

most office prebuilts dont have an intake fan

cedar shore
#

I'm planning on upgrading in a few years when I have better income. Right now I'm getting money off allowance from chores. At least I have something tho lol

zinc needle
#

there's no stickers

#

it doesn't look like an office prebuilt to me

weak basin
#

๐Ÿคฃ

zinc needle
#

most office prebuilts will use a rectangular power button with slightly curved corners too

weak basin
#

most

#

unless thats a sleeper and we're being played

cedar shore
#

I'm not familiar with these terms

#

wdym?

zinc needle
#

sleeper would mean the outside looks garbage and the inside is amazing

#

has nothing to do with office pcs

cedar shore
#

Oh, makes more sense

zinc needle
#

we're just talking about where the pc came from

cedar shore
#

I got it off a guy who buys broken PCs, fixes them up and maybe put in more parts, and then sells them so I'm not sure

zinc needle
#

nice

#

we love reuse

weak basin
#

2nd hand

zinc needle
#

yeah

cedar shore
#

I have a cable problem with moving my bookshelf

weak basin
#

really

cedar shore
#

It won't go further

honest sparrow
#

I'll accept looking at that if I don't see a toe , or two , or three.

#

๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ‘

cedar shore
#

Better?

honest sparrow
#

Much

#

So what's wrong with moving it?

cedar shore
#

That cable won't go further and I can't put the shelf on it

zinc needle
#

vacuum your room dude

honest sparrow
#

You might be able to move the desk outwards towards you, and put the lamp next to your desk

#

Also that ^

weak basin
#

That cable won't go further and I can't put the shelf on it
@cedar shore move it backwards to the left so the cable is straight

honest sparrow
#

What are you using the 12 port usb hub for?

viscid sparrow
#

I moved some things to get them in the photo usually there spread out mor e

#

Charging ports i used to have them all filled with hard drives and USB now its just easy ports for when I need to quickly hook something in

weak basin
#

that monitor is quite low

viscid sparrow

rigid lynx

Well i ordered the 3080 20 days ago but i just got a shipping update with bad news, so now ill see if i can get the ASUS card first

royal lily
#

It's such a mess

#

nvidia = shitforbrains

rigid lynx
#

I hope AMD doesnt have stock issues

#

they claim they wont, but bold words are just words.

royal lily
#

nvidia claimed they won't either

#

and look at us now, month and a half since release still can't get a 3080/90

#

a living joke

rigid lynx
#

Apparently the 3070 isnt looking good either even though they delayed it specifically to help the stock issues.

royal lily
#

I'm planning to get a 3070, releasing on Thursday 2pm UK time

#

Yeah no chance

#

It's gonna be impossible as other card launches

rigid lynx
#

Wow, didnt realize the 3070 was launching 1 day after the rx 6000 series announcement

@shy rampart what pudding keycaps are you using? Are they any good?

rose oriole

there's also an arctis pro in that video :]

shy rampart

@shy rampart what pudding keycaps are you using? Are they any good?
@autumn moth HyperX puddings, yes my fingers feel comfy on em

tight vine
#

?

#

Do people not like the feel of hyperX key caps?

autumn moth
#

Some people (not the majority) dislike the rough, course texture they have.

#

@shy rampart are they the 1st gens without the Hyperx logo on the spacebar tho?

shy rampart
#

No they are the second gens, I didnโ€™t know that there was a difference when I bought em

tight vine

Some people (not the majority) dislike the rough, course texture they have.
@autumn moth what kind of rough sand paper level?

I think it's pretty similar to other PBT caps, but I don't actually have them.

@rigid lynx Cheers, it's going to be a bit of both. Girlfriend will be working at one end and I'll be working in the upstairs office. This will be our main gaming room in the evening. Got my Samsung G7 on the desk now, currently gaming on a 55" Sony TV in the front room so looking forward to getting back to a desk.

Nice nice, Im quite fond of your monitor choice. Hope your DIY goes well

rigid lynx
#

Looks like ASUS is pulling out ahead of MSI on the restocking. Maybe a card can be printed for Dec 10th

mental compass
#

nice

#

u probably want them to anyway coz 3090>3080

rigid lynx
#

My intial plans were to get a 3080 and use the rest of the money to buy a ryzen 5000 processor, but i have faith in the processors for them to not sell out instantly. Should give me time to get the 3090 and 5900x

mental compass

damn thats pretty thicccccc

wheat oyster

#

its near impossible to use well

shy rampart
#

mystic light just isnt here

wheat oyster

#

i have an alienware laptop

Hi guys i just bought a rival 3 wireless and i contacted SteelSeries support and i have a defective unit (my Bluetooth isnt working) should i refund it or get an exchage. Im thinking to fully refund it and get my money and buy the Steelseries Aerox 3 Wireless which is a way better mouse. Is it a good idea and do you guys have any word when stock is going to arrive ?

Itโ€™s an overall better mouse tbh

dark ether
#

anyone have any idea of the lighting effects or Aerox 3 wireless

wheat oyster
#

wdym

weak basin
#

uh

#

as we've seen in the reviews

#

when in usage, the lights will turn off

#

and when 'idle' the lights are on

#

but you can change it so it's always on as rfp mentioned

#

if i'm not wrong i remember rocket jump ninja saying that the software will be very similar to the rival 3 wireless

broken gale
#

idk if theres a chat for this, but is an apex pro worth it?

weak basin
dark ether
#

Put your hands up guys if youโ€™re getting the Aerox 3 wired/Wireless ?!

smoky stratus

hehe I just bought the rival 650 wireless so I wont buy it any time soon ๐Ÿ˜†

dark ether

arctis pro wireless @smoky stratus?

smoky stratus

yup @dark ether

dark ether
#

#

did you skin your monitors or are they just red

#

@smoky stratus

smoky stratus
#

nah the bottom stripe is just red but it doesn't bother me so much

dark ether
#

oh ok

#

i would recommend getting some vinyl wrap though and skinning it because it doesnt really blend in

#

unless you set your rgb to all red

#

then it would actually look awesome

smoky stratus
#

Alright I will look into that thx for the tip

dark ether

yw!

Put your hands up guys if youโ€™re getting the Aerox 3 wired/Wireless ?!

honest sparrow
#

Both crappy works of architecture and lack of the "next gen" drive. Yes I understand that this is technically next gen for the consoles. As far as computing goes, this equipment is very out dated to modern day, quite embarrassing on both sides .

now all we need is a way to install windows on one of those

Neither of them have enough usb ports or accessories? Is there even a display port or do they use HDMI 2.1?

Well a good choice but from a rational standpoint it makes no sense whatsoever. Your mousepad is pretty overkill already.
@honest sparrow personally not big enough for me, and I want something bigger, I keep tilting my keyboard off the mousepad and there's no room for adjusting my keyboard

honest sparrow
#

Ah, makes sense

#

Also do you have a hard mousepad?

#

@brisk anvil I've seen HDMI 2.1 Cables go for thousands recently? Also 120hz tv gaming is near impossible for under a grand or two. So I see why the prices are low for all of them

I take back what I said about thousands for a cable, last time I checked Waa right about when they were first announced

@raven flame Nice Setup.... I am planing my new one at the moment and i have the exact same table xD

gaunt mantle
#

Why do people, use TKLs?

autumn moth
#

Because i don't need a fullsize

gaunt mantle
#

I legit love full size ๐Ÿ˜‚ since well it gives me very key possible lol

zinc needle
#

i use a 65%

#

because i don't need extra keys

autumn moth
#

65 is the sweet spot

gaunt mantle

what about like pause, home, delete, and such

75 is also nice

what about like pause, home, delete, and such
@gaunt mantle double binds

autumn moth
#

I know but still, isn't that not convient?
@gaunt mantle I prefer the conveniance of a smaller keyboard

gaunt mantle
#

well crap i just got roasted by a bot

zinc needle
#

my function layer key is pretty close to my arrow keys, for example, so i just press both keys at the same time to do play/pause/back/forward

#

it's like control c/control v

#

whereas if i had a full size keyboard with media controls, i'd have to move my hand further to the right

#

also a shorter keyboard can give you more mouse space, especially if you're right handed

gaunt mantle
#

interesting fact, i can game left and right handed on the mouse, i do right since well binds

#

but i can aim the same as my right

I have pretty good peripherals and a good computer but my desk is a $30 table from Walmart I'm going to do some upgrades on my setup like new monitors a new steel series mouse pad headphone stands it's more GB strips and a new desk but until then I probably won't post my setup

#

The cable management's decent but I run a lot of networking gear under my desk so the entire right side has like a 48 port switch and then a bunch of other tech that I use for my home lab so until I get like a super nice looking setup I might do like a before and after but I don't know

honest sparrow
#

Donโ€™t get me wrong here that could be a pretty good setup. But all of the RB stamps look like they were photo shopped on there , or you just need a new stamp/logo.

raven flame
#

@gaunt mantle I set my M1 / INS key to Prt Scrn since I don't need that one. And I also use ShareX for print screens and its tools, super convenient and I don't feel like I'm missing any keys.
I also set my F5 - F10 to media buttons (like on an Apple keyboard) so I use those for prev. pause/play, next, mute, vol up/down :))

@autumn moth I thought it was cyber power because of the rainbow color ratio which cyber power uses that same one

Itโ€™s very unique

autumn moth
#

Uhhhh

#

Not sure about that

gaunt mantle
#

Yeah I wanted a full size board just because it's way easier to use

#

I do play games that use the number pad and such and my parents do use my computer and so they prefer having the number pad but also I'm a high sense gamer

#

@raven flame

#

But also a full size keyboard gives me tons of extra macro keys as well

I do play games that use the number pad
@gaunt mantle I noticed that when playing GTAV and couldn't control my planes very well without the numpad ๐Ÿ˜†

@oak sedge my jealousy is overflowing

how much does that cost?

initial guess, around 3.5k

hearty zinc
#

wow

#

my money isnt even close to that

cedar shore
#

Counting the PC or not?

hearty zinc
#

nope

zinc needle
#

without the PC

#

it's hard to tell what camera that is, but a nice dslr could be anywhere from like $500-thousands

#

each monitor you place at $200-600

cedar shore
#

I'm guessing at least 1k

#

for the pc

zinc needle
#

unlikely you'd have that kind of a setup and only a $1k pc, seems imbalanced

#

also, the embody is at a minimum around $1.3k new

#

and there are 42 nanoleaf panels there, the 15 pack smarter costs $300 and the expansion of 30 panels is $600, alternatively he gets two big love-owski 21 panel bundles for 760

#

so my 3.5k estimate might be low

I do use the accuation at 1, since I do sometimes press the keys lightly

fair enough

I think if steelseries added some features similar to the Wooting one it'd make the actuation thing a bit more universal

it's another hall effect keyboard, aka changable actuation

just visually change it up

that is easy

polybar and picom will be your friends
