[burnt crystal]

My cable organisation is an absolute state will send a pic of how awful it is later 👀

[elfin sail]

Cleaning time

[pseudo scaffold]

Very red setup

[outer badge]

no steeelserie? cring

thats a nice setup

i dont like how the mousepad is over the corner of the table though

[cyan lark]

ayyyy

[cyan lark]

his mouse is steelseries

[autumn moth]

Perhaps that's why he crossed it out

[cyan lark]

ah

im stupid

sry

[dark ether]

Any suggestions?

[zinc needle]

a monitor with smaller bezels

[versed apex]

That monitor is CHONKY

Actually they both are lol

[dark ether]

Ikr xD

They are old LG monitors so what do you expect

[autumn moth]

Wall mounting always looks good if you can

[dark ether]

Cant because it is in a corner

[dark ether]

I would get new ones but my pc can only handle 1080p60fps so yeah

[static field]

mount your gpu in the correct slot

[broken hollow]

DaniEletric#3954 has been warned

Reason: Posted a link

[autumn moth]

Very clean look. All I'd say is custom cables would top it off.

[subtle siren]

yea i know! ive been wanting one for a while, just dont have the money for it yet.

[limpid spindle]

Lol no I'm actually brand new to the SteelSeries fam, just picked up the arctis pro wireless headset yesterday.

Yeah untill my monitors are wall mounted the mouse pad will be like that as there isn't enough room

[versed wolf]

just ordered 16gb of crucial ballistix at 3200 mhz :D

[stark prawn]

how much did u pay for it

[winged trout]

@static field You like MSI?

[static field]

Good one😂 more of a asus fan i would say

[winged trout]

Haha i like both

Both have some good but also some meh stuff

[static field]

Yea the issue with asus is the software, to get it installed is to win in a lottery, but after it's installed its no problem

[versed wolf]

I payed like around 77

[stark prawn]

bruh

it should be way cheaper than that

[autumn moth]

No, that's about right

[stark prawn]

i cna find some for between 60-70

[zinc needle]

crucial ballistix 3200?

[stark prawn]

yes

[zinc needle]

because the normal price for those has been 77-85

the cheapest set right now of 2x8 3200 is 72 bucks

[zinc needle]

says 77 for me

same model number

[stark prawn]

oh

probs just due to different regions

[zinc needle]

i'm in the US

[dark ocean]

@zinc needle that's in dollars

[zinc needle]

i can see that

and his was in pounds

[versed wolf]

yea thats the ones i got

[last schooner]

Does anyone know what the steelseries logo button does on the keyboards?

[zinc needle]

serves as a modifier key

like how shift modifies functionality

[toxic wind]

Steelseries logo + F9 = Switches Profile

Steelseries + F10 = Setsup macro

Steelseries + F11/F12 = Brightness

[ocean iron]

clean

[ocean iron]

DANG

😮

[royal moon]

Heres my setup

I dont use the top tv anymore

[toxic wind]

That actually looks insane, but you should probably clear those water bottles. Lmfao

Idk how I feel about the PC turned to show the cables and stuff. :P

[zinc needle]

hand warmer

[weak siren]

Dat looks too good to be tru

[subtle siren]

I can prove it LOL

[weak siren]

like it looks unreal

nice white theme

i like it

[subtle siren]

Im doing some cable management

[weak siren]

where the pc go

ahh

[subtle siren]

So here it is raw

[weak siren]

ok

[subtle siren]

😂

[weak siren]

LMAO

[ocean iron]

not bad 👏🏻

[royal moon]

Yea same but i plan on putting it on the ground with a new case

[toxic wind]

👌

[trim fox]

Any preset footstep settings for artic 7?

[orchid aspen]

Decided to add a nice pop of color to my Arctic Pro's removable plates. I give it a 7/10 for the overall paint job still need to do 1 more coat of red and clear it over the weekend.

[uneven bolt]

what if you also put the steelseris logo in the midle of the plates would make them look epic

[orchid aspen]

I don't have steady enough hands to do that sadly

But hmmmm

Idea i will try

[uneven bolt]

but you could do a spraypaint cutout

[orchid aspen]

Stencils are your friends

[uneven bolt]

yeah

[orchid aspen]

I will think about it, I like the idea tbh

[uneven bolt]

some thing ive always wondered why do both plates come out i get one for the battery bu why two

?

[fading haven]

i dont have the headset nor do i know how it works but if its plates over the ears it could be to make them open back?

[autumn moth]

That won't be possible

[fading haven]

ye i dont know much about headphones it was just a thought

[strange onyx]

yeah that's not what they're for, at least on the arctis pro wireless, one of the earcup plates removes for the swapable battery, means you can keep wireless and don't have to plug in

the others can remove for customisation though

[worthy flume]

It's an odd flex

But a flex nonetheless

[strange onyx]

What are you using to run that? Just curious

[worthy flume]

that's the thing

It's running Forza Horizon 4 naively.

[strange onyx]

Ah I thought it was a stream from your pc like Nvidia shield kinda thing

[worthy flume]

hahaha no

that's for the weak 😄

[strange onyx]

Hey man would be cool to play Cyberpunk on there 😂

[worthy flume]

I mean

I would try

but I don't want to buy cyberpunk

[strange onyx]

Even though cyberpunk itself is a kinda shit game imo

[worthy flume]

because ewwww

[strange onyx]

yeah its pretty bad

tried to get it refunded but had too many hours

sad time

[worthy flume]

yeah its pretty JUST bad

It's just terrible

[strange onyx]

the gameplay is just not fun at all and even when using rtx and full graphics settings (granted I did use some DLSS - but Idk if that would've made a difference ) the graphics weren't that good either

[autumn moth]

Graphics weren't good? It's beautiful, and the photo mode is fantastic.

[strange onyx]

meh, I wasn't impressed

[autumn moth]

But the gameplay is certainly lacking

[worthy flume]

Totally Acurate Battlegrounds has always had less bugs than Cyberpunk has now. TABG is litterally a $ s*** post of a battle royal

[worthy flume]

even then... there are games that are much better at being a tech demo as it seems like cyberpunk was released as

[strange onyx]

a tech demo that failed to demo the tech they promised to demo

[worthy flume]

Lol

Hang on... Let me show you a game that's far more fun than cyberpunk ever is

Because it's innovative and looks spectacular

Full ray tracing

Destructable environment

And yes

This is running off of a handheld computer and it's igpu just fine

Hardware agnostic raytracing

[strange onyx]

Oh wait

i thought that was a switch lmao

[dark ocean]

Before (lame 🤢)

After (not lame😏)

[tight vine]

What the

[worthy flume]

Rip gpu thermals

[worthy flume]

No it's a full laptop essentially

Ryzen 5 4500u
16 GB LPDDR4X @4266MHz
1tb NVMe SSD

I've had her up to 25w so far

Slowly taking the power limit up to see where things sit comfortably at

[strange onyx]

Ooh that's pretty cool, pretty good specs too for something like that

[uneven hull]

damnnn thats amazing

[worthy flume]

Yeah I know right? I honestly am a bit surprised with how fast it is.

[bronze topaz]

love it

[strange onyx]

what's it called?

[worthy flume]

Aya Neo

[strange onyx]

Damn £630

[dusk dome]

👀

Does it have any external ports other than charging?

LIke if you wanna use a larger screen at times or connect something like a USB device

[cedar axle]

i render my entire room as well as setup

[zinc needle]

what's with the red cabinet

[cedar axle]

i honestly dont know

its just there

i use it as a bedside table

[harsh yoke]

yea, yall got some pretty nice stations

but have yall found true happiness?

[toxic wind]

I did, I have a decent PC

[dusk dome]

Nah, there is like, brief happiness, like a fleeting moment, it's different for different ppl. And then there is actual happiness where you fell happy most of the time. I don't have either

[harsh yoke]

pain.

[worthy flume]

I got it for free

So

But yeah it's kinda a steep price but they are selling

I feel like version 2 will be more economical

[strange onyx]

Damn held you manage that

[worthy flume]

I write software for Ryzen Mobile

For controlling tdp and stuff

And they wanted some help

Soooo

Win win

Most importantly

It has rgb

[strange onyx]

Ah nice nice

[dark ether]

i cant tell if this is a filter or youve just perfectly synced everything

[gaunt axle]

@dark ether since that is all steelseries gear, they have the prism sync app which will sync all the LEDs across all your gear for you with whatever pattern you want.

however, since it is also across the PC and screensaver, could be a wallpaper engine LED light efffect

but its most likely a filter id guess

[toxic wind]

Purple RGB!!!!

Lesss gooooo

[red ivy]

Right? Have fallen in love with this! Only thing I have changed since this was taken is I swapped my A40s for Arctis Pro Wireless

[gaunt cape]

Hadta repost since I changed up a slight bit

[autumn moth]

Very nice! Clean setup.

[ocean iron]

will pay with my left kidney

[ocean iron]

no. I do not have an apex pro and arctis pro

[weak siren]

is it better to have monitors top and bottom or side to side

[autumn moth]

Whichever feels better for you, but I find side to side more natural.

[dark ether]

better to have side to side so u can see like a game or stream or watch something idk

[versed wolf]

Birthday gift to myself :)

[autumn moth]

Happy birthday! Hope you enjoy the mouse

[versed wolf]

Thank you :D

[toxic wind]

Happy Birthday!

[versed wolf]

thank you!

[brisk mauve]

why didn't you get the aerox 3 wireless? It's the same price +wireless

Sorry, where are my manners? Happy birthday

[dire ridge]

any suggestions or recommendations

[autumn moth]

Some sort of audio? But maybe you have a headset/speakers out of frame

[dire ridge]

im using the monitor speakerss now but there so bad lol so im using the laptop speakers and there amazing

my next upgrade is probs a wireless mouse ngl

[versed wolf]

lmao, thank you tho :D but i didnt choose wireless just because i've had trouble with them in the past and also i dont trust myself with mouses with all of the holes in them

[plucky sedge]

Happy birthday!!!

[versed wolf]

thank you :D

[verbal sun]

hey should i get the steelseries rival 600?

[versed wolf]

i highly recommend it, it barely been day two of using mine and i love it a lot

[zinc needle]

depends on what you're looking for in a mouse

[autumn moth]

If you want a heavy mouse maybe, but look at other options as well. If you want a lighter mouse which is generally considered better for gaming, consider something else.

[plucky sedge]

Will steelseries arctis 5 be a good choice or maybe it is better to take arctis 1 ????

because my friends say that it is better to take logitech g pro or hyperex cloud 2

Or razer blackshark v2 x

[brisk mauve]

yeah, the holes are un-tested

[brisk mauve]

you should get some rgb strip

*strips

[dire ridge]

errrm i do lol

[versed apex]

If you're playing on PC then go with the 5. I've been using mine for over a year now and love them

[verbal sun]

i saw it is 96 grams without the weights, my last mouse was a steelseries rival 310 which weighed at 90 grams which is just the right weight of a mouse in my opinion so this mouse shoule be at the same weight

[verbal sun]

i see a lot of good reviews of the hyperx cloud 2 on amazon 33000 reviews and the total rating is 4.6/5 so if that many people reviewed it and it has that much of a rating it seems like a best buy. the only bad thing would be the price but if you afford it you can save a bit more for the hyperx cloud alpha since it is the same version but newer, released 3 years ago :) hope this made it clear

[dark ether]

nice

[versed wolf]

tanks

[dark ether]

[ocean iron]

[neon river]

Thanks man

[ocean iron]

[plucky sedge]

Ok thanks for opinion

[plucky sedge]

[dark ether]

Imeant MORE rgb

[barren garnet]

shees

clean

[autumn moth]

I mean it's a render

[bronze seal]

Just got my new rival 600

[mortal island]

review time

[bronze seal]

slightly heavier than my old rival three, nice grip and feel on the hand. comfortable to hold, nice addition to the extra mouse button for more keybinds, love the addition of the change of weight of the mouse with the weights along with the increase of cpi and 50g acceleration and the two sensor system.

[mortal island]

hows the size compared to the rival 3?

[bronze seal]

compared to the rival 3, the width is slightly larger on the right hand side of the mouse maybe because of the attachment for the weights as it needs more room or its just the design but overall nothing has dramatically changed in size except that

the padding on the mouse as where your fingers would be is really nice touch for comfort

[mortal island]

sounds great, thanks for the review

[versed wolf]

Thoughts?

[autumn moth]

Nice, but perhaps a bit more cable work?

Also for your desktop, it isn't necessary but you can move everything from the desktop to the start menu to make it look cleaner. You can also install a taskbar mod to centre it and make it translucent. Just makes it look better.

[versed wolf]

Oooo I didn’t even know u could do that

Thanks for the tip

Also about the cables, I don’t rlly care about cable management mainly because I’m constantly unplugging and replugging things back in

[versed apex]

Ayy purple RGB gang

[versed wolf]

yup :D

[versed apex]

You love to see it

[versed wolf]

damnnnnnn

smexy

[versed apex]

Thanks, I try lol

[severe eagle]

im using my arctis 5 about 1 year and i love it so @plucky sedge take arctis5

[golden temple]

The only problem with Arctis 5's for me is that they are wired

I need wirelless headset

[toxic wind]

Fax, the only wireless headsets Steelseries has are expensive. It sucks.

[shy rampart]

Arctis 3 Bluetooth is wireless... and the same price as the 5s

So if you have Bluetooth on your pc, then there you go. if not there is also the Arctis 1 Wireless at the same price as both of those that I just mentioned

[toxic wind]

True.

[tidal sigil]

I got the Arctic 1 wireless and it’s pretty nice

It doesn’t have Bluetooth but it isn’t bad

[plucky sedge]

I don t have bluetooth

[humble ice]

purple rgb = best rgb

[stark prawn]

yes

[versed apex]

[versed wolf]

-deepcool gammaxx L120T red also needs an upgrade
-steelseries rival 600
-steelseries apex 7 brown
-steelseries arctis 5

i share a desk with my brother so i have to squish my keyboard onto my mousemat

and my pc is also sitting on to of my old pc

[severe eagle]

agree

[versed wolf]

I’ve tried a honeycomb mouse before but it just didn’t feel right to me

Mainly because it felt really light so I moved a lot faster than I was used to

[plucky sedge]

I order ps5!!!!!

[dark ether]

5 monitors!!!!

hi what gaming mice do u recommend me that it isnt from steelseries?

[autumn moth]

Logotech G Pro x Superlight is probably the best mouse on the market

[autumn moth]

You can easily rectify that by putting something heavy on it for a while

[zinc needle]

the bottom isn't very well lit

[dense blade]

yeah

[zinc needle]

also, what are these, pictures for ants?

[dense blade]

idk just found in one of many reviews

he gave 1 star

[autumn moth]

Brightness is fine for me

[dense blade]

wow it looks great

that's yours?

[autumn moth]

Yeah

[dense blade]

then maybe i'll buy it because i never saw a clean photo of this mouse pad

it's either in the dark of from sides

or*

[versed apex]

Yeah I had the brightness issue with mine as well. The bottom right section was really dim compared to the rest of it. Got it RMAd and now I'm just waiting on my replacement to ship that was supposed to be sent 7 days ago 😩

[mighty wraith]

On it's way, soon the setup will be complete!

[zinc needle]

nice

[toxic wind]

Nice!

[dark ether]

[severe eagle]

how mutch it costs you

[toxic wind]

You got one, nice.

[charred spindle]

[autumn moth]

New mouse, Lennart would be proud

[patent crypt]

howd u make the lighting like that

like blue in the middle and purple for the rest

[ionic wolf]

you can select the keys with the mouse

[patent crypt]

o

but like

is it possible to make the rain effect

like on corsair

[tight vine]

ye if you got the time to do so

[patent crypt]

really how

[ionic wolf]

yes, rain in X keys and static colors in the other keys

[tight vine]

changing every key to have beathing effect

[patent crypt]

oh thats so much work

[tight vine]

yes

[patent crypt]

hopefully one day steelseries will add effects

[tight vine]

they did

[patent crypt]

or let us make our own effects

[ionic wolf]

i have done this in 5 seconds

[patent crypt]

ayo how u got that

[tight vine]

prysm sync

[ionic wolf]

or in the left side

you have all the effects

[patent crypt]

yea ik that

but corsair has this thing like

where u can make ur own effects

or import them

by downloading from ur pc

from the web

[tight vine]

theres this

[patent crypt]

https://youtu.be/pLW5t-JnA5o

watch this if u have time

im talking abt this kind of stuff

[ionic wolf]

oh, you can't except for Imagesync

[patent crypt]

yea

sad

[ionic wolf]

you have to do everything yourself

[patent crypt]

one day steelseries will put an update like that

[tight vine]

suggest it

[ionic wolf]

I hope they will launch an online bookstore with a voting system for custom effects

[patent crypt]

facts

[patent crypt]

how

o kk thx

[digital ember]

My setup im planning to get a new pair of headphones and im upgrading my pc soon as it gets here been waiting months hopefully I'll get by this month or the next

[zinc needle]

nice pencil. is that a ticonderoga model?

[digital ember]

yes it is but how does the pc setup look

[zinc needle]

i mean, it's fine, but the pencil is really the star

real talk though, kind of crowded

[digital ember]

ok then

[zinc needle]

one thing you can do is move the stuff that's plugged into the front panel to the back

[digital ember]

fixed it thats a lot better

[zinc needle]

also the stuff to the right

maybe a separate shelf or something

[digital ember]

Nope thats the whole rest of the desk

[zinc needle]

right, i'm saying move the stuff on the desk to a shelf

[patent crypt]

What keyboard is that

[digital ember]

Corsair K55 RGB gaming keyboard

[patent crypt]

O

Do u think corsair better than steelseires

[digital ember]

i haven't had a steelseries before so not sure

[patent crypt]

Like the apex 7 vs k70

[autumn moth]

They're pretty different, choose whichever suits you better

[patent crypt]

I have the apex 7 but I’m not sure wether I should get the k70 instead

Only reason I’m thinking about that is because of the RGB

Like Corsair you can make your own presets

But as far as I know you can’t do that on steelseries

[patent crypt]

any one got any good gifs for this?

My current setup

Getting there

Any suggestions?

[versed apex]

Love the color scheme

And the skinned rubix cube lol

[autumn moth]

Yeah pretty useless, but I've skinned all my devices so I might as well throw the rubiks cube in there

[rose oriole]

if you're able to, to make the wall look a bit cleaner, you could always look into the adhesive wallpaper to fit your theme that youve got going on

[autumn moth]

Good point, I'll look into that

[dark ether]

Hey dude can I pay you to skin my headset?

[autumn moth]

How would I do that?

[dark ether]

...

Cause I like the was your art is

[autumn moth]

I mean logistically

[dark ether]

Wdym I’m too dum to understand what that mean

[versed apex]

Isn't that just a d brand skin? You could by the same one from their website and skin your headset yourself

Also they mean that how would you ship your own headset to them and how would they ship it back. It wouldn't make any sense.

[autumn moth]

Yeah, robot camo from their website

[severe eagle]

Yeah, two cups and empty bottle of fanta

And other stuff under desk you dont need to see

I need to clean it up

[versed wolf]

That rival 600 looking nice tho

Excuse the mess, but I am trying to hook up a third monitor, 2 of them are VGA, and the bottom right one is HDMI, all 3 of my VGA ports work, 2 in my graphics card and 1 in my motherboard, but for some reason, only one at a time wants to work, any advice?

[last vortex]

My Steelseries gear.....

[autumn moth]

Aren't you a bit close to the monitor?

[last vortex]

Still looking for desktop mount for it...yes a little to close...

49" 32:9

U will eventualy....

anybody using Rival 650?

[autumn moth]

I was

[ionic wolf]

same

Aerox 3 wireless now

121g + 20-30hrs is just horrible, but the rival 650 is really nice

[last vortex]

My rival 650 is faulty right now, cannot work while using cabels, only wireless... How good is aerox 3 wirelss

[pliant ibex]

i am

[pliant ibex]

mine is fine, got a replacement for my garbage one, im really happy with the rival 650

if they made a light rival 650 i'd be extremely happy

if i actually cable managed my setup and added more decoration, cleaned it up, it'd look so damn clean and gamer

[last vortex]

I cant rma anymore because i already replace the mouse swith with better ones much better, softer and less travel distance, i still can't find comfort par with rival 650...i really like the mouse, i was told that using the Steelseries hard mouse pad works better with the 650

[pliant ibex]

no i literally bought a replacement

[pliant ibex]

i use qck works fine lol

monitor: zowie xl2411p

specs for pc

[last vortex]

The zowie xl2411p is a esport monitor right?

[pliant ibex]

1660 super oc
240gb ssd kingston
1tb baracudda hard drive
external hard drive 1tb (i was stupid and thought ''oh why cant i download games, might aswell get another drive.'' then after i realized i selected the wrong drive file
650w psu
b365m mobo
i5 9400f
16gb of ram single channel (sadly)
literally 1 fan excluding cpu fan

[pliant ibex]

yeah and it works well

i had a garbage 60hz monitor i was using

i got this since it didnt work with my pc

and i changed it to 144hz

felt like

heaven\

also i dont know why but i pronounce ''qck'' like quick

not ''q-c-k''

since that sounds weird

[last vortex]

I have omen x25f, 240hz tn pannel, still love the monitor great for playing fps, but dont have space to put it on my desk

[pliant ibex]

honestly i dont like curved monitors

too big for me

and i feel like it ruins the game

as the resolution is weird in alot of games

what i do like mainly is like thin monitors that are 144hz+, i dont want it to be huge

also i plan to get another monitor so i can do discord and since i stream sometimes i can read chat

[last vortex]

My spec pc, i9 10900k, 32gb 3600mhz, 521gb mnve, 2tb ssd, rtx3080, 850w sfx psu

[pliant ibex]

i am jealous lol

how'd you get your hands on a 3080

also ngl your pc rgb looks like garbage, i suggest sticking to one color scheme instead of just rainbow

[last vortex]

I bought it 1 week before the "shit" happens

[pliant ibex]

nicve

nice

teal and white is a cool color scheme

rn im sticking with purple and blue

[last vortex]

Ye i am bad on color scheme, never tried the rgb setting anyway

[pliant ibex]

try teal and white

it'll look cool

and take a screenshot

photo*

also what kb do you got

[last vortex]

I bought the monitor because for my work, so rather buying 2, 240hz monitor with almost same price i might well go buy 1 G9 monitor

[pliant ibex]

still it takes alot of space

[last vortex]

My KB is steelseries apex pro tkl, headset is steelseries arctis pro +game dac

[pliant ibex]

mk

also im doing something game

getting keycaps for my apex 5

[last vortex]

Well it did it when i was in store lol😫

[pliant ibex]

https://www.amazon.com/Profile-Through-Suitable-Standard-Keyboard/dp/B082PJ26CG/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=YMDK&qid=1618868941&sr=8-8 theese if you wanted to know

saw it in an apex pro lubed video

my issue with tkl is that i need this key / if i want to play star wars the old republic (on the numbpad btw), but to be fair i could just have a key setting or something.

other than that tkl is cool as hell

also ngl g9 is a really cool looking monitor

what mic do you use

[last vortex]

This wars my first setup with omen x25f monitor

[pliant ibex]

looks good

also im considering to lubing my apex 5

sounds really annoying sometimes

[last vortex]

The kb caps change to pudding tyoe but it was not good so i replace it back

[pliant ibex]

ok, you can try this:

https://www.amazon.com/Profile-Through-Suitable-Standard-Keyboard/dp/B082PJ26CG/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=YMDK&qid=1618868941&sr=8-8

higher quality and it isnt pudding

also make your theme teal and white now! 😠

it looks good

if you do that

[last vortex]

Thronmax pro for the mic,

[pliant ibex]

mk

i saw this when i searched up teal and white setups

how can you feel comfortable like this

HOW

put it to the side

and get a chair that isnt a dining table chair

like an office chair

[last vortex]

Well he spend all of his money on tables so still saving up for his chair maybe 😋

[pliant ibex]

he didnt prioritize his money good enough

he should have built his own pc

alienware pc..

i feel bad

founds omething cool

dbrand has black ps5

pog

[last vortex]

Yes why would anybody buy pre vuild pc, where all the parta a already every where..... To build a pc just learn from you tube...

[pliant ibex]

to be fair pre builts are fine to get rn

but

an alienware one

HWY

Why

WHY

[last vortex]

So advice on color scheme, what colour would match my table?

[pliant ibex]

teal and white is cool, doesent matter if your table is black

try blue and purple if that doesent work for ya

man i want to turn xmp on but i dont want my pc overheating because i literally got one fan

[last vortex]

Just oc like mine for daly used 5.1ghz all cores

U jave i5 10 gen right?

Ramp it up to 4.9 or 5 for better performance

1 fan is enought,

[zinc needle]

xmp on your ram won't overheat the rest of your pc

[last vortex]

Helo bro remember me

[zinc needle]

yes

[last vortex]

How are u

[zinc needle]

fine

[pliant ibex]

went into the bios and i cant find xmp

weird

[last vortex]

How the covid situation ther

[pliant ibex]

thought it would

[last vortex]

Should ask @raichu he is the expert

[zinc needle]

ram generates very little heat relative to the gpu and cpu

[pliant ibex]

im using an aorus mobo

intel cpu

[last vortex]

Sorry i thought u are talking about cpu..... 🙏

[pliant ibex]

i was talkin bout ze ram

[zinc needle]

it'll be fine

[pliant ibex]

yes but i want 16 gb of ram but the uh it is not automatically set on that yeah

[zinc needle]

what do you mean not automatically set on that

[pliant ibex]

it's using 8gb of ram

instead of the 16

[zinc needle]

?

[pliant ibex]

my pc is using 8gb of ram

instead of the 16 i have

[zinc needle]

you mean it's only displaying 8gb available total even though you have 16 in the system?

also #💻-building-a-pc now

[pliant ibex]

it's not building a pc

since

i am not building a pc

[zinc needle]

ok dude

[last vortex]

16gb but shows 8gb its that correct?

[pliant ibex]

mhm

wait im stupid

it means 16gb is there

stupid brain

[uneven bolt]

i also have a weird way of typing, i only use left hand index finger and my thumb, only use my ring finger when using backspace

[last vortex]

Each player has it own style of playing..... Anyway what games do you play

[pliant ibex]

i play alot of ac3, fps games on roblox, csgo. thats basically it

wish my set up looked so uniform

[pliant ibex]

this

[main token]

yeah

[pliant ibex]

WHY BROWNS

sorry im not trying to be rude but you had better options

[main token]

browns are closer to what im used to, blues are too loud, reds are linear, i wanted tactile, ik its barely there but atleast its not cherry browns.

[pliant ibex]

fair.

blues arent that loud honestly

[main token]

i dont like clicky

[pliant ibex]

unless you live in a house with people

[main token]

i like tactiles

[pliant ibex]

im using the apex 5 btw

alright man

[main token]

ah nice

blue sounding but membrane at their core

[pliant ibex]

honestly

i consider the apex 5 to be a mech

[main token]

back to general tho i dont wanna get chewed out by a mod

[charred spindle]

ttc blues which is what apex 5 has sounds gooooooood

[spiral hatch]

oo

memerz

[main token]

on the website steelseries claims them to be their own "Steelseries Hybrid Mechanical RGB Switch"

[charred spindle]

it is sort of their own, they are the only one using it

ttc made it for them

mabye some sort of partner shit

[main token]

could be a rebranded type, but its explained as keeping what makes the switch great, we continued the convo in general and agreed that the switches sound good but its not my style

tactiles for me

[pliant ibex]

razer

[fickle zealot]

you guys talk about the apex 5

i have the apex 100

which is membrane

and isnt even available on the steelseries webstie

[dark ether]

Being able to do this is kinda unhealthy

Gonna put my stuff like this when not used

[versed apex]

Don't keep your headset like that when it's not in use. That's a good way to weaken the hinges and cause them to crack

[dark ether]

Yeah I don't dw, but it's funny it's always the steelseries stuff I can do this with haha

[pliant ibex]

with my rival 650 i cant do that 😦

wait i figured out a way

it doesent work on the right but it works on the left

[dark ether]

Hahahaaha nice

[pure furnace]

How is he gonna put it like that when it IS in use XD

[pliant ibex]

This is what it looked like before

[last vortex]

why is there a fan on your desk....

[pliant ibex]

Because I was hot?

The first one is what it looks like rn

[pliant ibex]

this

@last vortex

[last vortex]

you bought wireless pro already?

Finaly i mount my monitor on the wall save alot of space

Bad cable managment to lazy to tidy it up

[pliant ibex]

I changed the location of my pc, so the cable for vr is actually long enough to play properly, and I can literally see no pc cables, Only my webcam, base station, keyboard, and mouse charger, Just got to get my mom to get a drill today and add a cable hole, then we good\

thats a curtain to the left btw

All i need to make my setup perfect is one intake fan or more, a new monitor, better cable managment and led strips

and maybe some nanoleaves

[pliant ibex]

Ayo ima be real with you

your mousepad looking dirty

try scratching it

if it gets dirt

just go to the sink,

rinse with water

use hand and rub with dish soap thoroughly

sponge, soft side dish soap

rubb

rinse till no soapy bubbles and no soap

[last vortex]

yejust wash it last week, it gets dirty very quick

[pliant ibex]

damn how heavy do you game

[last vortex]

I know how to wash my mousepad

[pliant ibex]

real question is

how heavy do you sweat

also

[last vortex]

7 hours traiding, 2 hours gaming, that my life in covid days

[pliant ibex]

rival 650 gang

alright

My setup feels kinda empty

Any recommendations to add for my setup

[last vortex]

put rgb strip behind the desk

[pliant ibex]

yeah thats what i plan to add

but like

stuff on the desk

[last vortex]

put screen grabing rgb strip on the monitor

change your wall paper man...

[pliant ibex]

my wallpaper aint THAT bad

the wallpaper is purple but it's hard to tell

[last vortex]

bad

for my taste

[pliant ibex]

I can get another purple wallpaper but i dont mind

i feel like a new wallpaper is maybe too much of a big change in such little time, so i feel it'll be too much

[last vortex]

i used to have alot of rgb, back of the desk, monitor, SS QCK rgb XL, get bored and took it aoo, now I want is minimal setup

[pliant ibex]

Im fine with rgb as long as it isnt rainbow colors

I prefer purple and blue

[last vortex]

taste prefrence actualy

some peaople like it white

only

[pliant ibex]

mhm

rainbow just gives me nausia

keeps me distracted

[last vortex]

depends on your mood.......

[pliant ibex]

and it looks bad

purple and blue is something im fine iwth

[main token]

i can agree rainbow vom is a bit much

i like havin minimal backgrounds, nothin too glowey nothing too much

i like theming mine, so i can swap out the themes when i get bored of it

[pliant ibex]

i mean my theme is just purple and blue

[main token]

my theme is kinda pikachu rn, so yellow and brown

and understandable

[pliant ibex]

Mine is just purple and blue

my keeb rn

[last vortex]

you divide the color or all orange?

[main token]

its divided into sections

looks worse here

but its easier to see

[last vortex]

Maybe changing the keycaps will get better color, maybe?

[main token]

maybe, i have to color correct a bit in my camera bc it gets it wrong on camera

its much different irl

i rlly like it though

[last vortex]

should be nice with pikachu theme...if you are happy when you sit down in front of your station, then who care if other people don't like it

[main token]

yeah, it makes me happy so, i kinda wanna make a wallpaper to fit it aswell

[last vortex]

pikachu neon light...hmmmm

I mean pikachu shape using neon light.....hmmmm

[main token]

i could most likely make one like that but something minimal would better fit my style

i like making minimal graphics and wallpaper things

[last vortex]

I have a friend DIY RGB strip for monitor and screen grabing color....it will look very nice with the minitor theme....I think i have it on my old monitor will try to post the pic it here soon if i found it on my phone

[main token]

ah nice, i like having a dark wallpaper so it wouldnt light up much

[pliant ibex]

Im going to get theese knockoff govee light strips from a tech store near me sometime today

[last vortex]

but when cute little pikachu in the center will give a faded glow of yellow behind the wall is nice...goes the theme with your keyboard and mouse...

[main token]

lemme make a quick wallpaper to show kinda what i want

[main token]

not near perfect

or what i want rn

but its a quick draft

[last vortex]

you will get all yellow background colour

[main token]

yeah ik

i dont rlly want or need a color shifting led strip

i like things minimal

i like a light up keyboard and mouse so i can read the legend if i need and i can find the mouse easier

its functional

[last vortex]

let me try to put on my screen i will ost for you leeter when i get back home

[main token]

ah

okay

[last vortex]

Looks like this if you have screen grabing software with controable led

my wall is not white so....it look orange

and the led was design for 24" screen so u will see only in the center

[main token]

ah

it looks kinda nice imo

[mighty wraith]

Allright I think I'm done buying crap from steelseries

My apex pro and rival 600 came today

Now I have the arctis 9 wireless, arctis 5, Apex pro, Apex 3, rival 600, rival 310, qck prism, and the back pack

[autumn moth]

That's a quite a collection

Heres the psd with some examples
