[hot ruin]

I gotta squeeze as much as i can

[autumn moth]

They're actually pretty cool, better than I was expecting 😅

[golden temple]

It just reminds me of how much I need a new headset

🥲

[autumn moth]

These are going to my sister anyway, she need a new headset

[golden temple]

I have a Logitegh G35 and I gotta say they have bad ergonomics and bad sound quality

Oh well

[ionic wolf]

your desk is HUGE

i like the boom arm

[delicate palm]

Wait do you game on the middle screen? Cause its the smallest, why not center the bigger one?

[autumn moth]

Could be because of resolution, pixel density, refresh rate etc

[delicate palm]

yeah could be

[golden temple]

My setup before new stuff

My setup now

[autumn moth]

Congrats

[dire ridge]

looks the same

[golden temple]

It's weird how much peripherals can change the look

Look at the keyboard and mouse

[dire ridge]

this is a setup change over 1 year

[dire ridge]

oh i see now

[golden temple]

@dire ridge thats a big change gotta say

If possible get a second display

[dire ridge]

no need tbh

[golden temple]

Oh well I cant live with only 1 monitor lol

[dire ridge]

i can buy one but a want to buy a new headset

[golden temple]

I have the same actually

[dire ridge]

the same what?

[golden temple]

Headset is my only pheripheral that sucks

I have very good mouse and keyboard

But my headset is quite bad

[dire ridge]

i might buy a arctis 5 or arctis 7

[golden temple]

I will buy arctis 7

Cause I used wireless headset for few months

[dire ridge]

i got a new g pro wireless and its was so bad i needed to return it

[golden temple]

And it was very good experience

[autumn moth]

How so, works ideally for me

[golden temple]

But then the headset broke down so I needed to use my Logitech G35 again

[dire ridge]

horrible shape and the glide wasnt that good compared to my £20 mouse

[autumn moth]

I guess shape preference varies

[golden temple]

Its personal preference thing

[dire ridge]

i need a mouse with more off a hump at the back

like the death adder or g502

[autumn moth]

Deathadder shape felt nice, but too big for me

[dire ridge]

whats your grip?

[zinc needle]

#💬-general

[golden temple]

I haven't used deathadder but I use palm

[dire ridge]

i use palm as well i couldnt really do it with the g pro

[shell pier]

screw your setup. that wall is gorgeous

[willow cairn]

thats wallpaper

[shell pier]

still nice

[fiery robin]

just got a new desk!

[tall anchor]

if Mini-ITX was a desk

[rose oriole]

we have matching nintendo switches :]

[fiery robin]

🙂

[fiery robin]

what a “mini-itx” ?

[tall anchor]

Small PC size

[fiery robin]

oh ok

[quaint forum]

because its 4k 60hz

[quaint forum]

5 ft 6 with the extension

[quaint forum]

you got it middle is 240hz side to my left is 60hz right is 144hz

[steady chasm]

bussin

[willow cairn]

finally upgraded my setup

old setup

[violet cloak]

ONG SO Cool

I love it om

Who wants to see mine

@dark ether

[steady chasm]

that pc case sheesh

[steady chasm]

to me it's nice

I ain't rich

[tepid narwhal]

wait did you post that same pic in the alienware discord server? i saw it there im pretty sure

btw the new setup looks great

[strange onyx]

My experience with Alienware PC's is not the best, my college upgraded a whole room with them and the amount of bluescreens we had was more than you could count on both hands

[fickle zealot]

lmao

[willow cairn]

yea

[willow cairn]

i dont really game

its more of an office one

[willow cairn]

thx

[willow cairn]

lol

[strange onyx]

Neither did we in college, they literally bluescreened if you put them to sleep and woke them back up again

[tepid narwhal]

I don't think that's normal...

[willow cairn]

the specs in my pc are: 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 11700F, GeForce RTX™ 3060 Ti 8GB GDDR6, 16GB Dual Channel DDR4 XMP at 3200MHz; up to 128GB, 256GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD (Boot) + 1TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s (Storage)

probably the computer you had didnt have good specs

or the college had

[strange onyx]

They definitely weren't that bad but it wasn't just one pc that did it

[willow cairn]

ah ok

[strange onyx]

It wasn't as high spec as yours but it was an i7 and a 1660

[willow cairn]

👍

[autumn moth]

Lower rated specs won't specifically cause a blue screen lol

[willow cairn]

im not good with pcs :/

or know

things

about it

[autumn moth]

Well, know you know 1 thing at least

[willow cairn]

i had a friend tell me what was good

[strange onyx]

I doubt it'd be something like the OS install as it was more than one pc

[willow cairn]

so i bogught that pc

[autumn moth]

Could be any number of things

[strange onyx]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Nice setup either way Zay

[willow cairn]

thanks

[frank sluice]

Some 50€ stand from amazon :D

[digital ember]

Rtx 3060 ti is the way to go in my opinion

[charred spindle]

ooo thank youuu :P

[charred spindle]

??? graphics card as a monitor stand? sounds dangerous haha

[tender flower]

Lol

I think they meant instead of the 5700xt but idk why

[frank sluice]

I will try to find a link :D

[frank sluice]

You mean the Haros? :D i love them! I have way more in my shelf behind me.

[frank sluice]

[charred spindle]

thank you thank you

[shell pier]

beast setup

[frank sluice]

Thank you! Constantly working on it

[brisk anvil]

Looks fantastic

[autumn moth]

Oh no

[brisk anvil]

DDR3 and 2nd or 3rd gen Intel i series CPU? Seems like it could use an upgrade :)

[versed apex]

Looks fine to me idk what you guys are worried about tbh 😳

[autumn moth]

Sure, fires are easily extinguished anyway right

[versed apex]

Exactly

[dark ether]

My brand new pc :D

[versed apex]

Hot

[dark ether]

Ye soon a full setup picture, but getting new dask and chair this week so no point of making a full setup picture

And new keycaps, but not the new prism ones cuz I bought them 1 day before release

[cobalt turret]

I know its low res and stuff but i just wanted to share this

[pure rover]

Looks like the roof of Chernobyl

[pliant fox]

hey i want to get youtubers to revew my setup just want some constructive criticism

[hazy ember]

that looks awesome

to make it look a bit more symmetrical i would rotate the left monitor so the side would align with ur center monitor

[ ]
[ ] [ ] [ ] like this

@pliant fox

[zealous oasis]

The you can also play 3 monitors for games

[dark ether]

F

[violet cloak]

whats you're specs

[meager hearth]

Developer at heart, gamer by day

[steady chasm]

Camera lens a bit dirty, might want to have it wiped

anyways

The classic Ikea drawer and table legs are a must-have for any gaming setup

[violet cloak]

What's that thing on the bottom of you're desk I love your picture

[charred spindle]

it's pedals, seems like a flight simulator of sorts

[autumn moth]

[hazy ember]

you have the gear but you just need the space

[shell pier]

theres a bit of setup in your mess

[meager hearth]

Rudder Controls for flightsim

[violet cloak]

That's great and what store you buy it from

[meager hearth]

Microcenter

[violet cloak]

Oh

Nice 🙂

[violet cloak]

Ur pfp is so c99l

[autumn moth]

Thanks ig

[dark ether]

how this desk is called

[shy rampart]

It looks like that is just a Linnmon, Alex Draws and legs

[clever raptor]

just got it

[hazy ember]

nicee

[cloud estuary]

Very clean and I love the idea of using a mini fridge as support for the tabletop.

[ionic wolf]

Oh my god

Perfection

[autumn moth]

Nice one, very organised

Even the ryzen tissue box lol

[brisk anvil]

Amazing setup

Hands down one of the best I've seen in here

[willow cairn]

now that, your living the life there

[wheat glen]

Haha, appreciate it

[vital agate]

I put Japanese keycaps on my apex pro tkl

I think they look nice

[autumn moth]

Not kuro shiro is it?

[vital agate]

?

[autumn moth]

Or a clone

[vital agate]

It's like some gmk keycap clone thing I found lol

[autumn moth]

Looks good anyway

[vital agate]

Yea

They are really thick

It's a nice sound

It matches my superlight kibda

[autumn moth]

Sure, I'm using something pretty similar

[hazy ember]

what switch?

[autumn moth]

Switching it up between lavenders and marshmallows

Currently lavenders

[hazy ember]

what brand?

[autumn moth]

It's a custom build

[hazy ember]

oh ok

i like linear switches too

[vital agate]

oh that looks sick what mousepad??

[autumn moth]

From the GMK redacted group buy

[vital agate]

Uhh i have a question

[autumn moth]

Shoot

[vital agate]

Why is steelseries gg i clipped something and the clip is flashing black

[autumn moth]

Not sure. Try to enable elevated capture permissions

[vital agate]

It works but my steelseries gg clips are laggy now

[autumn moth]

Change quality settings, might help

[vital agate]

Now my clips are green screen

[autumn moth]

#moments-report-a-bug

[vital agate]

I fixed it

I changed the quality back to 1080p and it works

[autumn moth]

Good to hear

[quartz walrus]

wouldn't happen to have a link to the table would you? setup sick btw

[wheat glen]

I’ll DM it to you

[shell pier]

@autumn moth I ordered these keycaps with Korean sublegend, cant wait for them to arrive

[autumn moth]

Looks great, two tone mods are always nice

[shell pier]

Yeah, Im slowly transitioning into a custom hahaa

[willow cairn]

that mousepad looks clean

[autumn moth]

Thanks

[knotty otter]

Too much rgb?

[hardy coyote]

You Know As A Fact That Those Words Together Have No Meaning

There Is Never "Too Much RGB"

[inner elbow]

my eyes

[hazy ember]

can you send links to thoes rgb cables?

[knotty otter]

the gpu cables or the ones around the fan?

[willow rose]

lets go i got my new steel series apex 7 tkl today

i love it

💋

[autumn moth]

Yeah

Take a little bit to get used to but they're fun to use

[autumn moth]

Quick photoshoot

[zinc needle]

Op7p?

[brisk anvil]

Nicely done

[autumn moth]

Yep, haven't felt the need to 'upgrade' from a pop-up yet

[zinc needle]

they fell off hard after that one anyways

glad i got it

[quiet dune]

yeah they did

[weary estuary]

Arctis 1 apex 100 rival 3 wireless rival 110 and a rival 3 hiding over there still in the box

[vapid girder]

Apex Pro TKL + Rival 650 Wireless + QCK Prism Mousepad + Arctis 7 = Aabsolute Masterpiece

[versed apex]

Aye that's my same gear setup lol (except I'm currently running the Arctis 5 but replacing them with the Arctis 9 that's supposed to arrive next week)

Love the colorscheme

[unreal epoch]

I think battle-stations are cool but why does anyone need to see inside a computer case? I don't get it.

[autumn moth]

You get to see something you've built yourself (for the most part), it's just nice to look at. But some people don't see the point in it.

[finite rampart]

Just sharing : Apex 7 tkl : Rival 3 wireless

[golden temple]

Apex 7 Tkl + Rival 600 + QcK Medium

[amber marsh]

Mic sm7b Monitor Phillips 144hz (soon to be upgraded) mousepad glorious xxl mouse model o pc specs: g skill trident z 32gb 3600mhz ram rtx 3070, ryzen 5 5600x and Corsair mp600 ssd asus tuf x-570 motherboard

[flat night]

AMD 5 + rtx 3070??

[autumn moth]

Pretty much, what about it

[flat night]

This is not Good, i am suggets bought AMD 7 or 9 :) better wyniki

[autumn moth]

No, the 5600x is more than enough for gaming.

[stark prawn]

yea what

5600x is rlly good for 3070

[hazy ember]

im using a ryzen 7 5800x with my 3070 and its pretty good too

it costs a little more but its pretty worth it

[versed apex]

If all you're doing is gaming then the 5600X is fine, if you're looking to stream or do any sort of content creation work then the 5800X is a good choice. The extra 4 cores in the 5900X is better if you have a workflow that needs the extra power (like me) and it's a more viable option for most people than the 5950X (also considering the 5950X is basically not in stock anywhere while the 56 and 58 have plenty of stock and the 59 gets restocked fairly frequently)

[charred spindle]

someone reposted that pic on insta haha

[autumn moth]

Damn, could you dm me a link?

[charred spindle]

yep for sure

[autumn moth]

Thanks

[charred spindle]

no problem

[patent wigeon]

lovely day today

[autumn moth]

Congrats

[patent wigeon]

thanks

[dark ether]

Updated

[hazy ember]

you nailed the rgb lighting

not too bright, not too dark

[dark ether]

ikr! i thought so too.

[main token]

im a lil late but man does this look nice, great job.

[autumn moth]

Appreciate it

[marble bay]

the only pingged msg

[serene fjord]

Should i upgrade my gpu

I have 5900x and at the moment i have rtx 2070

Is the 3060/3070 worth it

[golden temple]

3060 isnt much of an upgrade

[serene fjord]

So maybe i wont upgrade anytime soon

[cedar abyss]

The 3070 is an upgrade though

[shell pier]

I wouldn't upgrade if i were you

2070 is still able to handle pretty much anything you throw at it, unless you wanna have some super highresolution, settings, or fps

[cedar abyss]

i would probably wait for rtx 4060 or 4070

[olive bone]

For 1440p yes

And 4K

I wouldn’t bother at 1080p

40 series will hopefully be really good, I’m getting proper 4K vibes. But it’s still a year and a bit away

[serene fjord]

i have 4k monitor atm but i was thinking about 1440p

so games would run better

[autumn moth]

#💻-building-a-pc

[olive bone]

Sure a 3070 would be a reasonable upgrade then aslong as u use 1440p+

A 3060ti or 3070 would be perfect

[rose oriole]

#💻-building-a-pc please.

[olive bone]

Sorry yep 👍

[olive bone]

Looks sick bro! Love the aesthetic

[autumn moth]

Nice one, great colours

[dark ether]

That is fire

[dark ether]

900p monitor

???

[golden temple]

Nope

[dark ether]

Oh cause it looks old to me

[golden temple]

the second one is 1680x1050p 22" and the grey one is 24" 1920x1080p

ya they are old

[dark ether]

Ohhh

[golden temple]

but i dont have that good PC either

so fullhd 60hz monitor is enough for me

[dark ether]

bro you should see my brothers pc he dosent even have a graphics card

He is

[golden temple]

like i dont have a bad pc

like medium

Amd Fx 8350 CPU, 8 gb ram and Gtx 770 GPU

[dark ether]

K

[golden temple]

and of course rgb to bring +500 fps

[versed apex]

An 8350 is...not great especially by today's standards. It wasn't very great when it was new either tbh

Although you should probably be lucky to have that 770 given the current state of the GPU market lol

[golden temple]

yeah ik

[dark ether]

I posted this on reddit but ✨

[charred spindle]

you got the full steelseries thing going damnnn

[nova moat]

even though its fortnite i still approve

[timber trellis]

specs are as follows zotac rtx 3080ti amp holo extreme i9 9900kf cosair h100i platinum white sabrent rocket 1tb aorus500g m.2 and some old hard drive

[vital agate]

Bro

Why does my steelseries apex pro tkl rgb not work anymore?

[zinc needle]

not the place @vital agate , #archive-user-support #official-support

[vital agate]

Ok

Thank you

[dark ether]

specs: ryzen 5 3600, gtx 1060, 16 gigs of g.skill ripjaw ram, rog strix b550-f, inland premium 1tb solid state drive, evga bronze 650 watt power supply

in the lian li lancool 2 mesh (white) case

[timid tide]

Pretty nice

[dark ether]

my monitors are both the acer nitro xv240yp @ 165 hertz

[autumn moth]

Could do with a bit of a touch up maybe

[dark ether]

yeah

its messy haha

im planning to upgrade soon

to a gtx 1080 and some newer g.skill ram

my cpu still rocks

and clean my setup up

its pretty messy

i kinda have 2 of each item (kinda)

idk why

[timid tide]

Personally, If you're able to move your right screen closer to the main screen so they would merge would prob look better

[dark ether]

yeah ill probably do that

thanks for the sugestions

sorry i cant spell that for some reason

my mind went blank

[timid tide]

I am not better myself but yeah

[dark ether]

its kinda hard to adjust sometimes with the monitor arm

i like it but its hard sometimes

[timid tide]

Ah, I see. I don't have 2 screens so I'm not that familiar

[dark ether]

oh

i use to use the stock arm, it was pretty nice

but i could not go vertical so i bought a monitor arm

[timid tide]

Nice

[versed apex]

PrismCaps do be lookin good tho 👌😩👌

[dark ether]

they do

there are some hyperx keycaps like that

i think they are cool

[autumn moth]

There are lots of pudding keycaps

[dark ether]

yeah, i forgot what they were called

[dark ether]

SHEEEESH

[dark ether]

It’s it’s it’s beautiful

[spiral tapir]

Yeah. Keyboard is clean AF

Thanks lol

[dark ether]

Yw

[spiral tapir]

I do hope the Aerox 3 is better than my Gladius 2 Wireless

[rapid junco]

this is how much i care about my cables

[neat hemlock]

It’s a really good mouse

[winged trout]

1250 watt

Damn

[earnest knoll]

[shell pier]

this setup with a bigger desk would look so sexy

[dark ether]

Ikr

[shell pier]

If i were you thats the first thing i'd "upgrade"

[dark ether]

got dem new keycaps and 3xl mousepad :D

[dark ether]

im getting one soon

im deciding if antoher ikea desk is the way to go or if i should look somewhere else

or another option could be to build a desk

[shell pier]

all are valid options

[dark ether]

[spiral tapir]

Thanks. It’s a good mousepad

[brisk anvil]

Nice setup. Is the camera fov to big to have the light in front?

[spiral tapir]

It’s just really kinda normal. I have the light because I have a window there and I look like Twoface without a light

[brisk anvil]

Do you have issues with power loss where you live?

Since you have an UPS

Or what looks like one at least

[spiral tapir]

Nope. It’s a “just in case”

Also more power ports :3

[brisk anvil]

So an insurance and an expensive power strip? :D

Personally I think I'd put the Phillips Hue lights on the back of the monitors for less clutter

And cable manage from the monitor on the arms

[spiral tapir]

Basically. I got it for free

[spiral tapir]

Cables are too tight to do that

[brisk anvil]

Fair :)

[spiral tapir]

and those were $10 a piece they’re not philips hue

[hazy ember]

Haha

Still pretty cool tho

[hollow hamlet]

(side note, never trust the Phillips brand power strips. Recently got one and the act of plugging in my phone to charge actually tripped it. nothing else on the strip. bought two and it happened to both)

[dark ether]

got some prismcaps 😋

[neat quartz]

me too

wow

i like it

with the wireles prime mouse?

[autumn moth]

Looks nice, I like the deskmat

[dark ether]

thank you

[zinc needle]

i want an aqua control but i also already have three mousepads

[dark ether]

there is never enough mousepads 😉

[zinc needle]

and four mice

[hazy ember]

i feel poor

[versed apex]

Obviously you need 4 pads to go with the 4 mice, duh

[dark ether]

the texture of the prismcaps are very similar to the prime wireless mouse

[charred spindle]

just have to wait four more days for the prism caps to go on amazon

[covert ivy]

what table top is that?

[wheat glen]

Lagkapten 200x60, one from IKEA

[covert ivy]

Thank you

[dark ether]

Damn, those caps are pretty good

[raven flame]

RIP Sensei Ten 😾

Maybe I should go wireless next time :face_exhaling:

[spiral tapir]

The new mouse is here!

[zinc needle]

sorry @spiral tapir but i gotta delete that

[spiral tapir]

too much?

[zinc needle]

yeah

[spiral tapir]

lemme move the mouse lmao

[zinc needle]

maybe put it on a normal mousepad

[spiral tapir]

lmao

[zinc needle]

nice, looks good

[autumn moth]

Congrats

[spiral tapir]

the mousepad itself is sfw

[autumn moth]

That's not something I'd take into work

[spiral tapir]

I wouldn't take a PC into work...

you wouldn't take discord into work but i see what u mean LOL

[mighty ether]

Yeah boi

[autumn moth]

Nice, a full set

[spiral tapir]

noice

[mighty ether]

yup in my right tee

its lit

My actual controller

[dark ether]

Check this out

Look

[vapid girder]

How did you obtain?

[autumn moth]

Prebuilt

[vapid girder]

Ohhhhhh

[hallow plume]

[dark ether]

I mean its nice but the chair tho

[shell pier]

That chair is legendairy

[somber salmon]

I love steelseries to much btw the products in this is: the Apex Pro, Rival 710,Arctic 7,QCK Prism cloth,HS1 headset stand

[dark ether]

[long comet]

Getting closer and closer

[hazy ember]

[hazy ember]

[dark ether]

Check this jacked setup with steelseries

I managed all the cables

[dark ether]

Flexing so hard

[dark ether]

Ive been wanting to but a mouse like that but my current mouse is like 7 months old i think

[shell pier]

was it an ahegao mousepad? 😂

[autumn moth]

Not quite

[spiral tapir]

Nah. A suggestive furry mousepad

[shell pier]

HAHAHAHHAA

[shell pier]

new keycaps came in. they feel great

[autumn moth]

Nice

[shell pier]

@autumn moth also I think you might be able to help me out on this. my spacebar sticks slightly with this spacebar

what could be the cause?

[autumn moth]

Sticks? How do you mean

Rubbing against other keys or the plate?

[shell pier]

Idk like when I bottom it out it doesnt jump up immidiatly sometimes

or it feels mushy pressing it

[autumn moth]

And it wasn't like that with other keycaps then

[shell pier]

no

[autumn moth]

Could just be warp, common with spacebars

[shell pier]

although im not sure what i prefer yet, the spacebar sounds alot more solid and not as rattely

maybe its just some getting used to

[autumn moth]

That's what thicker plastic can do

[autumn moth]

Not bad

[odd nexus]

😋

Except I have a boom arm now

Newest picture

[hazy ember]

that looks pretty nice

i love the black and white color scheme

[odd nexus]

I couldn't care less

[charred spindle]

did some one hate? they should go get a life

[charred spindle]

laptop setup always hit different if you know what you doing. looks awesome

[odd nexus]

haha ty

[shell pier]

[rose oriole]

ok, calling people names randomly isn't cool & won't be tolerated.

[charred spindle]

sorry

[charred spindle]

okay i know, i am sorry for being rude, i just wanted to defend drippy

[grizzled ruin]

Hey guys

I need help

I'm trying to find an extention for microphone

@valid pond Do you have your TV plugged into your pc? Or do you have a console there?

[valid pond]

i dont have a pc or console i use it to netflix and disney plus

[vapid girder]

@valid pond Well I consider a laptop to be a pc. It is still technically a personal computer, and I don't think we should limit pc master race to just those of us who choose to spend ungodly amounts of money on our rigs. But anyway, I like the setup, looks like a nice little gaming corner. 👍

i do sick clutches in skywars

i have to fix cables

@valid pond I agree the cables need managed, but it's not as tough as it seems, you could run the cables along the legs of the table, or you could mount something like a cable channel along your wall, I have a wooden desk and I screwed cable ties to my desk, which works fine, but there are a lot of good ways to do it

This is how I did mine

Sorry didn't mean to send the first picture

[valid pond]

first pic is hot

[uneven magnet]

i love how its hooked up to a macbook lol

[hazy ember]

The water bottle is my favorite part

It fits perfectly in that corner

Without it, your setup would look lonely

[cerulean socket]

Got the Prism Caps on the Apex Pro. Very nice

[mental minnow]

🤩

[autumn moth]

Nice mousepad

[mental minnow]

It’s the new vaxee pad

[charred spindle]

sheesh

tas clean

[hazy ember]

3 mice tho

lookin pretty good

[mental minnow]

I have almost 40 mice

😂

[empty phoenix]

It gives off such a cozy vibe

[mental minnow]

appreciate it mate 🙂

[flat night]

Im 80 ezz u

[mental minnow]

These are all new mice tho

Released the last year or two max

[golden temple]

Quite old monitors but eh

[autumn moth]

Looks nice, good cable routing

[mental minnow]

@dark ether

Then i also got a pulsefire haste and a pwnage symm 2 preordered

👍👍

[charred spindle]

jkjk

[mental minnow]

😆😆

[rain jacinth]

can somebody help me? I just got a rival 600 mouse and its not turning on
I alr have the steelseries engine installed as I have the apex 7

[charred spindle]

wrong chat

[rain jacinth]

I asked in support but nobody responded

[golden temple]

Check if the cable is fully attatched, mine didn't turn on because it wasn't there fully

[rain jacinth]

bro :/

it was thgat \

thanks

[golden temple]

You are welcome

@rain jacinth I know the feeling when a new product didn't turn on

When I got my rival 600 I thought I had a broken product too

But it was just the cable that was the problem

[uneven magnet]

anybody else still using the og rival 110?

[nova moat]

36/34
Not sure about the two in the left corner on the image, and if a laptop counts as a mouse (trackpad) as I’m assuming that is what the upper left thing is, and I’m unsure whether or not the one below that is a mouse or if it’s a mod for a mouse.

[nova moat]

Got mine still, replaced it with a Rival 600, put it in my OG box

[dark ether]

Is there a big enter and small shift layout version of these Prism Caps?

i'm thinking of buying this keycap set

[zinc needle]

you mean iso

yes, there is

[dark ether]

sent me a link about this version pls?

[zinc needle]

not a small shift though

https://steelseries.com/gaming-accessories/prismcaps?color=black&language=english

[dark ether]

maybe what is the material of these keycaps?

[zinc needle]

it's described on the website, but pbt

[dark ether]

okay

[sick tangle]

Here's my setup I use for light gaming and school work

[autumn moth]

Nice meka mat

What's new from last time

[sick tangle]

Nothing, just felt like posting it again to see any feedback.

[autumn moth]

Great colour scheme and overall theme, it's very consistent. Looks clean as it is, all I'd recommend is buying a monitor lamp but you might not feel like you need that

[iron wing]

Hi, I'm freshman, do you have any ideas of RGB set? I've Apex Pro, Rival 650 and QCK prism cloth XL. But I don't have any cool ideas about light them...

[autumn moth]

Pick a colour scheme you like in prismsync and the wave direction you want

Powder blue and hot pink if you need a suggestion

[iron wing]

hmm, but I'm lookin for colour set actually I don't have any ideas to set, maybe You cane share with me your colours ? 🙂

[autumn moth]

I gave you a suggestion, but I don't have any values, I'm not using the keyboard anymore

[iron wing]

okay

[cerulean socket]

I did not receive a big enter or small shift.

[dark ether]

Big enter and small shift are coming in English UK option on steelseries site but anyway

[odd nexus]

I'm guessing you play minecraft

[odd nexus]

Idek what to say man 👨

[covert abyss]

what does light gaming mean

btw that setup is very cool

[autumn moth]

Not much, intermittent

[covert abyss]

ah i see

ty

[mental minnow]

@odd nexus not sure how you came to the conclusion that I play Minecraft but I can tell you that I won’t have to play that

[autumn moth]

Because they want mice that double/butterfly click (more mice means a greater chance of finding one that can?). Still not a reasonable conclusion to make

[odd nexus]

It was a joke about how Minecraft players collect mice because they need them for different things; like they have a model o for bedwars, or a bloody a70 for drag clicking

[mental minnow]

Ahh makes sense 😂

[spiral tapir]

Slightly messy desk but here’s my up-to-date setup

feat. Arctis Pro & Aerox 3 Wireless

[spiral tapir]

.

[serene fjord]

I love that mousepad lol

[odd nexus]

Get a new desk

And please do some cable management

And get a new mouse pad 😧

[autumn moth]

Good suggestions but they've left

[odd nexus]

Rip

Well here's a repost, nothing has changed except I gave one of the figures to me sister lol

[hardy egret]

This is my updated setup, only thing changed was my mousepad (My cable management sucks)

[kindred barn]

You think yours sucks? Gimme a sec to clear off my desk, then i'll show you some poor cable management

[kindred barn]

THIS is poor cable management, compared to me, your setup is hella clean

All the power cables go to this guy over here

[brave plinth]

I've never been a fan of multicoloured RGB which is why I'm using all white. Currently waiting for the day to go fully wireless 🤧

[odd nexus]

The cable management God has ceased to exist 😟

Please route your cables

[charred spindle]

it's pretty neat

at least it's not bundled up and all tangled up

[hazy ember]

Maybe you could save up for the g502 light speed and drill some holes in your desk for the keyboard and headphone wire

[brave plinth]

In this case yes huhu

My setup is temporary since I'll be moving next month. Once I move then I'll do the proper cable management I've planned with drilling holes in my new desk and all

[stark prawn]

im pretty happy with it but ik it could do with some improvements so constructive criticism would be helpful

[quiet dune]

Wall lokks a bit empty

Maybe you could get a picture for it

[odd nexus]

Put shelves or art on the wall

Gey some fake plants

And add some personality

[stark prawn]

ok thanks

[stark prawn]

i was thinking of getting some posters

or a big atlas

[autumn moth]

How about displates

[stark prawn]

yes

i dont know what of tho

when i went to ikea i saw a big grey atlas that i thought looked quite nice but they didnt have any in stock

[dark ether]

Where did you get the paintings from?

[charred spindle]

love the colour

[stark prawn]

thanks

[sick tangle]

Displate

[zinc needle]

Very green

[autumn moth]

That didn't take long, looks good

New blanks?

[odd nexus]

I love me some reposts

[neat quartz]

wow

[flat night]

Not god

[strange onyx]

green

[autumn moth]

Very nice, good use of the wallpaper across the monitors

[dark ether]

some nice fake plants form ikea can do the job

[dark ether]

yo that coiled cable tho kinda poggers ngl

[stark prawn]

yea im thinking of getting some shelves and putting some plants and stiff like that, thanks for the feed back

[dark ether]

np enjoy ur setup

im still in the process of getting everything like my custom keeb and everything

[zinc needle]

from zapcables, highly recommend them and they're also local for me which is neat

unless you meant the black coiled one that came stock with the bundle and is hot trash

[long comet]

Yooo

[autumn moth]

What, you don't like the 90s telephone line look?

[autumn moth]

Congrats

[autumn moth]

Nice

[odd radish]

how you get your white look so nice

[brave plinth]

Just put it on the whitest white?

[odd radish]

my white on the mouse and mouse pad look white wit a orange tint to it

[brave plinth]

Depends on the models you're using also. If you're using newer versions or models, the white RGB is cleaner

[odd radish]

true i was planning on just getting a custom full desk mousepad

dont know if i will get a new rgb mouse pad

[dark ether]

oh great

[dark ether]

well im like 10 months late but you can just buy the Apex pro tkl, change keyboard layout in windows settings, and buy some italian keycaps

if im correct

[autumn moth]

Sure

[dark ether]

what is your pc case

[royal ravine]

@dark ether I have the fractal design meshify 2 atx tower

[dark ether]

Ok thankyou

[royal ravine]

No problem I like it but if your into bright rgb it makes it super dim. Very work friendly and comes with a bunch of accessories

[craggy python]

steelseries should make a 65 percent keyboard that has a barebone option

[zinc needle]

#product-ideas

[odd nexus]

why did you get that big a mousepad if it doesn't fit 🤦‍♂️

[royal ravine]

@odd nexus lol because it was cheap and im using a kids table im upgrading when I move

[mint ferry]

*laughs in office mouse and keyboard

[dark ether]

😻😻😻

[charred spindle]

oh tas hawt

tas hawt

[dark ether]

Steelseries is CLEAN man

[royal ravine]

I dont understand lol

[charred spindle]

he has office mouse and keyboard, no gamer stuff i think

[mint ferry]

ytes

[dark ether]

What monitor is that? The main one

[royal ravine]

@mint ferry I can give you my cougar mouse and keyboard if you want

[brave plinth]

Mi Curved Gaming Monitor 34". A cheap monitor for actually nice specs

[dark ether]

Cheers 😄

[golden temple]

Noice

[dark ether]

leaked windows 11 Bg?

[odd radish]

insiders i got it too

[mint ferry]

i would totally accept but my parents might not be too happy about it lol

[dreamy kernel]

Nice setup
What’s the screens reference ? also I think it would be cool if you had a dedicated microphone with a boom arm

[royal ravine]

@mint ferry ah I see not only age to buy yet lol all good

[vapid girder]

bro thats a great first build

[dark ether]

There is also a dev who leaked it my friends got it

[nova moat]

Specs?

[odd nexus]

get a desk that goes across that whole wall instead of having two desks like that

also, the airflow rn 🔥

having one desk that can accomodate all of that will look great

[cobalt turret]

Sorry for bad Res, I may have a neat pc but my phone is old

[main token]

w11 insider as your daily drive? thats strange ngl

[dark ether]

no no it is segzy asf

[vapid girder]

That's awesome but, do you have a mosuepad?

[odd nexus]

oh god..

[zinc needle]

?

[odd nexus]

from the 980 pro to the h510 to the 1660 super to the rm550x, 🤮

[zinc needle]

there's no need to be condescending

most of your responses to people are that way, in fact

[versed apex]

Also if you're just going to say something negative without offering any other ideas or alternatives to his build choices, why even comment on it at all?

[odd nexus]

yeah you're right, I'm making a list to an alternative right now

[broken hollow]

Ｃｈｒｏｍａｘ１#4913 has been warned

Reason: Posted a link

[odd nexus]

ttps://pcpartpicker.com/list/cnFFVc
you could have gotten this

[zinc needle]

a 6800xt for 650?

lol

mp33 kinda budget tier nvme as well, could get a nicer one for 10-20 more

if you wanna post more though, #💻-building-a-pc

new keycaps today

ignore that rouge led in the corner

these desk lights are kinda garbage

[charred spindle]

hella nice what do you mean

[rancid crane]

Here’s my D+ setup. Kind of bad for now. Getting a new computer soon.

[shy osprey]

not bad, when you get that new PC it'll be A+ in its class

imo atleast

[plucky haven]

headset?

[autumn moth]

Looks about as good as last time

[plucky haven]

Why not get a monitor

[odd nexus]

Im working on that

[plucky haven]

K there are some good ones for a 100

I have a Samsung onr

[winged trout]

Keyboard on the wall lol

[pure patio]

might have to add one of the apex 7’s up there

[ornate agate]

Nice keyboard

[odd nexus]

Ty

[dark ether]

You guys like it ?

[autumn moth]

Sure, looks pretty good

Just slap a wallpaper on there and manage some of the cables

[dark ether]

Thanks x), it took 3 weeks for a noob like me to build it and i'm waiting to get wallpaper engine 😉

[autumn moth]

I'm assuming you're a lefty and the mouse of out of shot lol

[odd nexus]

in my opinion the desk is messy, you have no mouse, and there's no personality. Maybe add something you like like figures, change the wallpaper, clean up the cables, and also that case looks like it has no airflow

[dark ether]

Yeah, it's only the beginning, and my mouse is on the left side of the kb

[odd nexus]

inverted picture or left-handed?

[dark ether]

I'm a leftie ^^

[odd nexus]

ah ok

my favorite setup (Not Mine!)

Credit to 3vduds

[dark ether]

I5 10600k - gtx 1070ti waitin for rtx 3080

[vapid orchid]

Apex 7 as the keyboard?

Wait, no the 5

This is mine,

It’s probably as budget as you can get

[dark ether]

The pro

[odd nexus]

I didn't know that a $100+ keyboard and what looks to be an acer nitro laptop that I will assume is $700+ is budget

[vapid orchid]

The keyboard I’m using, is actually a simple TKL I found at a local game store for 50 bucks

the acer nitro laptop, it was 670

and that mouse is 15 off eBay

the keycaps, my friends old HyperX pudding keycaps I got for free

So I think it’s safe to say, I went budget @odd nexus

[odd nexus]

Oh my bad it looked like a apex pro tkl 😳

[dark ether]

That's my war machine:

It looks sick

[vapid orchid]

Oh no, it’s some random keyboard I found at GameStop for 50 bucks

Gateron browns

so it ain’t great

[odd nexus]

oof

[odd nexus]

I have so many problems with this

[autumn moth]

Ok?

[vapid orchid]

I love that setup

Bro my CPU is 138 degrees and I was just on google

huh

[odd nexus]

Ok?

[autumn moth]

That's not exactly helpful or constructive

[dark ether]

WHAT?

[odd nexus]

1. turn the lights on i can't see a damn thing 2. maybe show your wallpaper next time instead of discord, that usually looks better 3. the music makes it seem like you're playing a 2012 roblox tycoon game, so maybe next time send an image

And if you're gonna capture your setup at least move the fan for 30 seconds to make it look better because that's kinda like -2 points

[dark ether]

ok i already made a video to try it

[dark ether]

By the way, the weather is extremely hot there (like between 35 and 40 degrees)

[odd nexus]

Didn't I say if you're going to take a picture/video at least move the fan for 30 seconds?

[dark ether]

Yes

[autumn moth]

Take it easy

[odd nexus]

It kinda makes it look more messy and crowded if you leave it on there

[dark ether]

Anyway, I'm already making a youtube video about this keyboard, so I'm going to shoot these scenes again.

Soon.

[charred spindle]

man, i don't want to sound offensive or anything, but i think people might be getting tired of your comments putting their setup down.

[odd nexus]

how would that be offensive in any way

[charred spindle]

idk, i don't want to offend anyone, so i put that just incase

i am not here to pick a fight, don't want to give mods problems, but man, your comments are like condescending, don't know if that's the right word

[pure patio]

drippy ray bro why do you have to be so rude and negative and disrespectful to every single persons set up

let’s see yours

you seem to have an issue with everyone’s set up

like i just don’t get it

[zinc needle]

i just muted you and you're doing it again

take a day timeout and be nicer next time

[dark ether]

dont look at the cables

here;s my trash setup but not the headset:)

[hoary grove]

It's not trash

Mobile gaming is way worse

[dark ether]

facts

[charred spindle]

ps5 how that trash lmao, that's fire

[dark ether]

OMG a ps5 yaaay

[dark ether]

I tidied up my table a bit and the result is:

My camera is a lil bit shaky and does not detect the light enough sorry

[gritty turtle]

Don't mind the finger

[autumn moth]

Interesting layout, very little mouse space

[versed apex]

They're clearly a master of playing on 10,000 DPI

[gritty turtle]

nah just 2000 for warzone

[autumn moth]

Huh

[rose oriole]

there's no need for that.

[pure patio]

have you seen him on everyone’s set up

he’s so negative

[rose oriole]

there's a reason why he's currently muted

[autumn moth]

Doesn't mean you have to be

[pure patio]

oh fr

[rose oriole]

someone else acting inappropriately doesn't mean you can too

[pure patio]

i didn’t know what

that

it’s just tiring reading his comments

[charred spindle]

that is still high ish lol, but you have space on your desk with your monitor mounted up, have you tried using that space?

[gritty turtle]

my desk is super shallow, so it would clutter up easily

[charred spindle]

i see

[golden temple]

I am a 600 dpi user so seeing that mouse room hurts me inside lol

No offense

[stark prawn]

lol i used to use 4,600 dpi when i first got my pc

but now i use 800

[dark ether]

how many inches is the monitor

[gritty turtle]

The aspect ratio is 3440*1440, but I'm looking for a new one around $250. Settling in the LG 32GN600-B

[dark ether]

what abotu actual size

[gritty turtle]

34" IN

[gritty turtle]

It has a 500 DPI button on the side for precision

[stark prawn]

?

[gritty turtle]

The mouse can be less for space when I hold the button

[stark prawn]

ohhhh

nvm sorry i forgot who u were lol

what graphics card you have

[autumn moth]

3070

[ebon bloom]

i have gtx 1060

[ebon bloom]

i still have big lags

in:overwatch minecraft fortnite world of warships minecraft dungeons and in many another games

i use the 1060

its sad

bye

[autumn moth]

Bye

[eternal gorge]

?

[dark ether]

My minecraft would always lag on my laptop cuz of hyperthreading

there is just no way to keep laptops cool, even with a cool pad

[autumn moth]

Unless you have a laptop with good cooling

[dark ether]

do u guys have any good suggestions for any good lighting for the Apex 3 keyboared??

[vapid girder]

Are you trying to do a certain theme?

[dire ridge]

rate out of 10 and give me suggestions, trying out the new purple colour theme

[vapid girder]

That is my dream setup

[ebon bloom]

wow

[dark ether]

you need a bigger bed

[dire ridge]

And how is that gonna fit

[dark ether]

idk lol

do you really need that table that is under the tv?

[dire ridge]

[dire ridge]

Well not really

[dark ether]

maybe you could cut it

or remove it

[dire ridge]

I use it to hold my and my camera

[dark ether]

ah

you should get a shelf

to hold that stuff

[dire ridge]

Will a shelf be good?

[dark ether]

ye, if you get a quality one

not some cheap one that is going to break if you put like 1 pound on it

[dire ridge]

Any suggestions?

Will the lack shelf be good from IKEA?

[small vine]

put tv above the monitor

[dark ether]

Hey

Guys hi

My minecraft load out

[autumn moth]

Perhaps not steelseries/ #archive-battlestations related?

[small vine]

solid 8/10 i prefer black thats all

[dark ether]

My apex pro 😃😃😃😃

It is the respect

[dire ridge]

my wall where my setup is really shitty it would just fall off

[dark ether]

Guys do u like my keeb

[ebon bloom]

yes

[dark ether]

What illumination should I do

[ebon bloom]

its nice

[dark ether]

Thank you 😀😀😀

[dire ridge]

apex 7?

[dark ether]

Apex pro tkl

[small vine]

ahh you could maybe make a mount

[dire ridge]

that must off cost a bomb

[ebon bloom]

by the way what graphics cards you have?

[dark ether]

Keys are like buttery smooth!

[dark ether]

Yeah but it’s worthy of every penny 😄

[small vine]

got a 2060

[ebon bloom]

oh nice

[dark ether]

Woah 😮

[small vine]

apex pro wireless is hella exepensive but def worth it

[dire ridge]

thats my keeb and mouse setup

[ebon bloom]

ive got gtx1060

[small vine]

most steelseries really exepensive

[dire ridge]

ive got a rx580

[dark ether]

Yeah true dat it’s amazing

[dark ether]

Woah nice. I got the same mouse

Logitech mice are top but everything else steelseries !

[small vine]

i like the rival 710

got most thing ss

[dark ether]

Yeah I’ve tried that it’s very good

[dire ridge]

ive got no steelseries stuff

[dark ether]

Guys do you mind checking the support channel bc idk what’s up with my arctis 5 and I’m worried

It’s new too

Idk if it’s my computer or not 🤔

[marble bay]

I feel like a steelsires Mouse isn’t that good

Iike I have a apex pro

[autumn moth]

Ok? They're pretty good

Why wouldn't they be

[marble bay]

Idk honestly

I like there headsets alottt

They got good quality

[golden temple]

I like my Rival 600 but specifically on mouse it is preference

[fading ember]

I had a Rival 600 but the glue under like the grip sides literally melted on a summer day (21 C) Somehow

That's why i don't like it personally

[golden temple]

I know about the side grip problems

But mine was fine when it was 32 C outside and probably 40 C in my room

[eternal gorge]

Probably got left in the sun too long.

My 600 is quite fine.~ Dont use it much because I’m a lowly Controller peasant but when its required for games. It has served me well.

[autumn moth]

Nah it's a widespread issue, just happens over time

[eternal gorge]

Hm…maybe the lack of usage might be why I dont have that issue

Well…deep long gamer sessions

Work has been killing me -_-

[eager totem]

re

[dark ether]

Yes

[onyx aurora]

i got the steelseries arctis 7s!

[stoic crescent]

This is my new setup

What do you guys think about it?

(Srr, i didnt clean my desk)

[autumn moth]

Looks good. But needs a lot of cable management, you could pick up a headohone stand and custom sleeving for the cables wouldn't hurt.

[stoic crescent]

Maybe yeah

[autumn moth]

take it easy

[timid oriole]

i got the money sonny don't worry

[autumn moth]

Ok, you bought a pair of headphones?

[timid oriole]

oh yes

not
