[prime furnace]

I was told someone here fixed the caps issue on the razer blade stealth kbl in Linux itself? Anyone remembers who?

[ocean hollow]

@urban venture RGR That

[warm rain]

are the krackent tournaments good because I just bought a pair and am giving them to my friend for christmas

[hexed sierra]

Yea

There great

Nari is better

[pale elk]

@ocean hollow did you turn off the brightness level of the pad? At 0 it doesn't light up

[fossil hare]

hi all, I came here specifically looking for some info on the razer raiju ultimate, anyone got one of those could answer if you can use it on android to play?

[fossil hare]

I got an answer on reddit, yes it works.

[alpine carbon]

can someone help me

[alpine carbon]

So...I found this offer from a trustable online store, but now I'm wondering: what exactly are these things? They don't say that anywhere and I can't seem to find "official" sets like this on the Razer website...

[regal fjord]

Looks like a cynoda and a DeathAdder

[hexed sierra]

@alpine carbon
Razer Viper Mouse
Black Widoe Keyboard
Not sure on the headset

[alpine carbon]

Okay...thanks, gus?

[timid pasture]

That's definitely a deathadder not a viper, probably a deathadder elite from the looks and a black widow 2019 indicated by the Razer writing on the top right of the keyboard

As for the headset I have no clue

[blissful pulsar]

It's a Deathadder Elite, with a Blackwidow 2019, Destiny 2 Goliathus Speed and Electra V2, probably the analog version.

[blissful pulsar]

jealous

[urban venture]

Took me a while to realise what it says and who it was from 😂

[polar reef]

@alpine carbon i think i know the store xD

its mediamarkt right ?

[alpine carbon]

@polar reef Yep

[regal fjord]

Been waiting for my Basilisk Ultimate to come into the stores for about a week or so now. Apparently there's a shortage. Found out the store didn't bother to call me about it coming in

[olive solar]

Hey! I just got a macbook pro 16, but now I'm thinking about getting the razer pro instead. I've been a lifelong mac user and I'm just curious what the build quality on the razer is like...

[quasi ruin]

Don’t have big laptops but on MBP 13 and Blade stealth 13 both 2019 build quality is similar only quality is different, I meant like display brightness (though it’s 60Hz), sound dept, Apple blows Razer, on performance department Razer blows Apple. Note changing OS may like culture shock.

[trail pulsar]

Hey, wanted to get a second opinion on a partlist I'm going for. Here's what I already have which is why the list seems kinda incomplete.
Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB 16GB DDR4-3000
WD Blue SSD 250gb 6/s
750GB hard drive (forgot company)

I'm trying to go for a Razer RGB build since I have a full peripheral setup of Razer Chroma. I don't want to change the case, and want as much as I can get to be RGB.

Permalink: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Raikobeast/saved/7mkhgs

Here's a pic of the peripherals btw

[ancient mantle]

what kind of games to you mainly play?

@trail pulsar

[trail pulsar]

Fps, rhythm, battle royale

[ancient mantle]

Well, if you wanna get into new and big games, i'd recommend mayybe 32 GB of RAM so you can get away with more strain on those open world/chaotic games

[trail pulsar]

You do know that most new games are still only running at 8GB of RAM, right @ancient mantle ?

[regal fjord]

I agree, especially since ram isn't as expensive as it was 2 years ago

[trail pulsar]

Even VR games are only 8GB at most

[ancient mantle]

That's the minimum needed

[regal fjord]

Minimum ≠ smooth gameplay

[trail pulsar]

It does if you're running your settings correctly, but even still, games that are intensive nowadays have 16GB as maximum

[ancient mantle]

I have 8 GB on my old laptop and i cant for the life of me run a modpack for Minecraft

Right

[trail pulsar]

That's not because of your RAM lol

[ancient mantle]

you have to also take into consideration backgroud tasks like steam discord and chrome

[trail pulsar]

I currently have a PC running 8GB of RAM that can run most anything fine that's not graphics intensive

[ancient mantle]

those are gonna gobble up your ram

[trail pulsar]

But they don't? They take less than a percent of RAM.

They mostly take up CPU

Most of the time, if you're getting more than 16GB of RAM, it's only for high intensity processing such as rendering.

[ancient mantle]

Well as of right now, Discord is taking up 200MB of Memory

even with 16 GB thats a big chunk

[trail pulsar]

1.25%

[alpine carbon]

I'd claim most modern games need like 12GB RAM to run smoothly with decent graphics

[trail pulsar]

I currently run Apex with mid tier settings on 8GB + 960 and i5 4590

With around 120FPS on average

[ancient mantle]

you can get 32 GB RAM off amazon for arou nd $130 USD

[trail pulsar]

I'm not at home right now and my PC is turned off (so I can't access it with steam link), but I'd benchmark if I could

Like I was saying in my post earlier, I'm going for a full RGB build, and I'd prefer to go for Corsair Vengeance RGB just to keep the match, so it'd be more like another $90 for the other 16gb

But yeah.

[ancient mantle]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

you do you

[trail pulsar]

In the grand scheme of things, RAM is really cheap now compared to what it was, but it's definitely not as necessary for that much RAM as you make it out to be

Hell, even Boneworks (Which just came out and is fairly intensive thanks to VR) only needs 8gb of RAM. It is recommended (for higher settings) to have 16GB

[ancient mantle]

Granted, you don't need 32GB of RAM. You can use it to strain your computer more.

RAM would be useful for something like Minecraft or Factorio or KSP

[timid pasture]

32gb of ram is Overkill imo especially if you're just gaming. I'd swap the RTX 2070 for a RX 5700XT @trail pulsar

[trail pulsar]

Really, Minecraft would only need that much if you're running a server alongside playing

[timid pasture]

Wait wrong person

[trail pulsar]

I know because I setup modded servers on my friend's PC

[ancient mantle]

Like i said, you don't need 32GB. You can use it to uppen your capabilities

oh

[trail pulsar]

Well yeah, obviously lol

Better shit does better shit, but it's not necessarily a need right now.

[ancient mantle]

You'd be suprised how much Memory Minecraft with mods/texture packs can eat

[trail pulsar]

Do you have a graphic comparison @timid pasture for the two?

[regal fjord]

I'm about to buy upgraded parts which is gonna be 32 GB ram 2080 i9-9900k and I'm just gonna be gaming lol

[trail pulsar]

If you're running 12 tech mods in one server, yeah.

That's overkill lol

[timid pasture]

Uh, not currently I'll see if I can find some benchmarks

[trail pulsar]

Alrighty thanks

[regal fjord]

It's overkill, but I don't want to have to wait for league games lol

[trail pulsar]

sorry

what

what

all of that

for LEAGUE

LEAGUE

ok

[ancient mantle]

you dont even need 8 GB for LoL

kek

LoL requires 2 GB of RAM

[trail pulsar]

not even

[regal fjord]

I play lots of other games

But I'm into league atm

I'm normally in more graphic extensive games

[timid pasture]

https://www.techspot.com/review/1902-geforce-rtx-2070-super-vs-radeon-5700-xt/

https://graphicscardhub.com/rtx-2070-super-vs-rx-5700xt-vs-rtx-2080-vs-rtx-2070/
Hard to find some benchmarks that's not biased hah, here's some quick ones I found, the 2070 vs the RX 5700xt is almost neck and neck maybe 5% here and there in both but paying 100 less is better imo as well as the RX 5700xt has better performance in 1440p as well as 4k if I'm correct vs the RTX 2070 @trail pulsar

Also I'd hate sound like a shill but I'd also recommend a 3700x over the Intel chip, UNLESS you're only gaming at 1080p and willing to spend 100$ more for about 5-10% better performance

[trail pulsar]

Yeah, I originally went for AMD, but was recommended to go for that since it's still one of the best CPU for gaming.

[timid pasture]

It is a great cpu but honestly it's not worth the price vs a 3700x or even a 3600x they're almost equivalent in gaming and I'm pretty sure the amd chip outperforms in rendering as well as same PC streaming

Also I feel it'll have higher upgrade potential for zen2 socket, which if I'm correct Intel is switching sockets soon(don't quote me on that as I only read it somewhere)

[trail pulsar]

Alrighty. That does mean I have to change my motherboard as well, though.

[regal fjord]

Is there a motherboard that will fit an Antec cube that will fit a 3700x?

[trail pulsar]

Whelp, looks like I'm making up for that $100 anyway with the motherboard I have to go with lol

Still cheaper though

Thanks for the recommendation @timid pasture I'll link my new link in a sec

[timid pasture]

Hah alright

Antec is mini itx? I think the Gigabyte AB350N Gaming will fit it @regal fjord

I'm pretty sure all ryzen chips are AM4 though I'm not positive

Or the Biostar X370 GTN which is a x370 board

[trail pulsar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wBHxgJ

@timid pasture

[regal fjord]

Yeah no clue about anything AMD

Afaik it's just a red CPU brand

[timid pasture]

Yeah that looks like a good list now, though is that water cooler still compatible? Just wanna make sure you don't get a non compatible one @trail pulsar

As for the GPU it's up to you if you want to keep the RTX or get a RX 5700 XT, they're pretty similar so you can't really go wrong with either

[regal fjord]

Oh bugger forgot about water coolers

I've got an Antec mercury 120 which J need to fit the CPU in

[trail pulsar]

Yeah, still compatible. The list would've told me otherwise.

[timid pasture]

Ah. Yeah that list is solid than you could save money with a b450 board rather than the x570 if the features aren't a big deal otherwise I don't see any issue with that build

[trail pulsar]

I wish I could, but I don't have an AMD chip to be able to do the bios update for a 450

Besides, the x570 is generally better for current day anyways, so I'm not all that worried about it.

At least, as far as I'm aware, what with it being a more recent model and all.

[timid pasture]

Ah I see

[glass knoll]

For me, it's guaranteed Intel for the gaming rig upgrade (assuming I go for it, might not be at this rate), since it'll be using Liv which is highly demanding and doesn't work well with AMD processors. NVIDIA graphics card too. Streaming rig (if I can go for it), will be AMD though, with like a GTX 760 just so there's some graphics available.

[stoic void]

I have Razer Naga Epic 2012

Sometimes, mouse cursor move only horizontally. Do not move up or down.

What problem is this? Cable? Laser?

To fix, I hit it on table gently.

[regal fjord]

I wouldn't hit it, that wouldnt help much

Clean the sensor

[stoic void]

It is not a hit hit, it is like.. tapping it down on the mouse pad. It fixes it.. just do not know why it happen in the first place.

[trail pulsar]

@stoic void that's a laser / sensor thing. Get a Q-Tip / canned air, and try to get in there and clean out the dust.

[stoic void]

Hm, we will see. ;<

[alpine carbon]

Your way of speaking is scaring me

Don’t break the poor mouse please

[stoic void]

@alpine carbon Speak Russian then :f

[hexed sierra]

So Rainbow Six Seige isnt picking up my voice detection on my headset and I was wondering how/why because any other games do recive my voice input

[regal fjord]

Might be a siege thing if other games are picking it up, have you checked in settings to make sure you have the correct output input

[hardy star]

hey my new deathadder isnt connecting to synapse 3 and when i connect it and synapse is open the rgb starts to glitch and it turns off (im on 32 bit btw)

[subtle vector]

Hi, i have an Razer Huntsman Elite, i was wondering if you could get an wrist rest replacement somewhere?

[alpine carbon]

You can order a wrist rest on their website.

[alpine carbon]

~

[regal fjord]

@subtle vector at the minute there's no way to order the exact same wrist rest, contact razer support and see if they can send them out

[dry bluff]

Anyone have the RazerPhone 2 ?

[fathom breach]

Is Huntsman Elite better than Ornata Chroma?

I mean I know it's better, but is it like a lot better?

[regal fjord]

Yes

I have owned both

And I wish I didn't buy the ornata, because the huntsman was that much better

Don't get me wrong, the ornata is good

[fathom breach]

Allright, then I'm most probably going to get it

[regal fjord]

But I lost money because I bought both

[fathom breach]

I use Ornata Chroma right now, and it's been good for the year I've had it for

Just upgrading

Would have gotten Tournament Edition, but the lack of lights brought be to Elite

And I'm guessing that the keys on Elite are removable?

[regal fjord]

The keycaps?

Yes you can remove them

I have metal keycaps on my wasd. PLanning on getting PBTY

[fathom breach]

aight, thanks

[granite sinew]

what do you guys use to wipe off finger smudges from your laptops? I have a black blade stealth

[timid pasture]

A microfiber cloth works great

[hushed mason]

What do you guys think is the quitest keyboard from razer that includes chroma?

[timid pasture]

probably the cynosa

Though that's membrane so probably not what you're looking for

[stoic void]

@granite sinew Isoropyl 100%

[spiral knoll]

I am a big fan of the Ornata Chroma. I tried out the keys on a display unit in a store yesterday, and prefer the key feeling to both normal membrane keys and (surprisingly) even traditional mechanical keys. However, it is missing one key feature: A volume wheel. If Razer released a version of the Ornata Chroma with a volume wheel/media keys, it would be a day one purchase for me. Just my 2 cents. Thank you!

[fervent hedge]

It has Media keys on a Function Layer on the F-Keys

So... the only real thing you "want" is a Volume Wheel, which you could just buy one separately...

[regal fjord]

It's almost Christmas too, they will be busier than usual

true dat, welp ill wait and be patient. meantime stopped charging laptop and shut it down

[frosty zealot]

wagwan

dun kno

XD

[tribal forge]

ok

[crimson wren]

@frosty zealot how high are you??

[frosty zealot]

not high bro @crimson wren

[crimson wren]

What you doing then lol

[frosty zealot]

somebody talked but deleted message

[crimson wren]

Ok

[vivid wolf]

can someone help

my razer synapse still wont work

and ive literally done everything

my headset sounds like a tincan

[timid pasture]

Does synapse recongnize your headset?

[vivid wolf]

it did

but then i had to uninstall the synapse 3.0 because it wouldnt work

and in hopes of 2.0 it wont even open

ive literally done everything there is

[timid pasture]

Having synapse 2.0 and 3.0 installed can cause lots of issues

Any reason you need 2.0?

[vivid wolf]

ive installed them both at different times

and uninstalled each

because both of them wont work

i got no clue why

i can show you if youre free

but i cant talk bc the microphone wont work now

[timid pasture]

I'd install synapse 2.0 and 3.0 then use BCUninstaller which will completely wipe every trace of synapse registry/temps/cache then i'd also uninstall the drivers from device manager after restart the computer and reinstall 3.0 and plug the headphones back in

[vivid wolf]

idk how to do all that tbh

[timid pasture]

I can walk you through it if you want, otherwise you can try just uninstalling the drivers for the headphones

Then replugging them

[vivid wolf]

yea that would be nice

i joined lounge

i can screenshare aswell

[timid pasture]

I can't talk currently :(

[vivid wolf]

alright let me try

do i download bcuninstaller on fosshub

or osdn

[timid pasture]

Yeah

[vivid wolf]

ok

[timid pasture]

make sure synapse 2 and 3 is installed so that it can be detected

As you'll be uninstalling them from bcuninstaller

[vivid wolf]

shoudl i unplug my headset

?

[timid pasture]

No leave it plugged in

[vivid wolf]

its not there

[timid pasture]

What isn't?

[vivid wolf]

synapse

[timid pasture]

You have it installed?

[vivid wolf]

yes

[timid pasture]

Check show protected items

on the left side

you can also try searching it

[timid pasture]

Try tools > uninstall from directory

and selecting the synapse folder

[vivid wolf]

theres nothing there

i got like nothing installed on this pc except for my games

and synapse but its uninstalled now

the issue is that i cant open synapse

like i can download it

install it

but it wont open

it opens for a second then closes

[timid pasture]

It should be showing up though? Weird

Anything else running on the pc?

That could be causing a conflict?

[vivid wolf]

discord and origin

nothing else

and steam

[timid pasture]

Any way you can try it in safe mode?

[vivid wolf]

try what in safe mode

and how do i do that

[timid pasture]

Starting Synapse while windows is in safe mode

[vivid wolf]

i can install synapse 3

but not 2

[timid pasture]

Wait synapse 3 opens? or do you mean you can't install it at all?

[vivid wolf]

synapse 3 opens

but it doesnt let me change my audio quality

or nothing

let me install it and show

[timid pasture]

Alright

[vivid wolf]

im pretty sure the krackens arent this bad like it sounds like im in a tin can lol

[timid pasture]

Haha

Also make sure in windows sound settings that its not set to something like telecom sound

That could cause massive issues

[vivid wolf]

yea i already changed it to the highest it could go

which is dvd

i had to put in a code tho

for the 7.1 sound thing

but idk

[timid pasture]

Alright

Let me know when synapse 3.0 is installed

[vivid wolf]

its installed it said i needed to restart

its loading up

[timid pasture]

okie

[vivid wolf]

ok its open

[timid pasture]

Is it seeing the headset?

[crimson wren]

Is Razer synapse on computer compared to the Xbox version for the Wolverine ultimate better and offer more customization

[vivid wolf]

no it just says razer usb audio controller

[timid pasture]

I'm pretty sure its the exact same @crimson wren

Could you send a screenshot @vivid wolf

[timid pasture]

Hm, ok close synapse

fully

[crimson wren]

Ok I was hoping I could do complete custom sensitivity like the focus and agility button

[timid pasture]

Not sure to be honest

[vivid wolf]

its closed

[timid pasture]

Open device manager

[vivid wolf]

k

[timid pasture]

under the sound, video game controllers do you see the headset?

[timid pasture]

Under the sound tab

[vivid wolf]

this?

oh this my bad

sorry

[timid pasture]

Yeah that

Right click on each razer one and do uninstall

should ask you about uninstall the driver software too

Go ahead and check it

[vivid wolf]

the thx spatial one too

right

[timid pasture]

Yeah

[vivid wolf]

alright i did

[timid pasture]

I would also do it for the ones under the audio input as well

if they're still there

[vivid wolf]

nah their not

alright its uninstalled

[timid pasture]

Unplug the headset

and replug it

It'll probably say it's installing a driver

[vivid wolf]

unplug the usb too

[timid pasture]

Yeah

Afterwards open synapse 3 again

[vivid wolf]

i unplugged and replugged it

it didnt do nothing tho

[timid pasture]

And see if it shows up or lets you change anything

Are they showing up in windows?

Not synapse but windows

[vivid wolf]

i did it in a didnt usb and it didnt do nothing

i see in the sound thing

game and chat audio

[timid pasture]

Does audio come through?

[vivid wolf]

yes

let me see if they popup in synapse

same thing

only the controller

[timid pasture]

Which headset is it?

[vivid wolf]

razer kracken

[timid pasture]

Does it supposed to show a headset in synapse?

Or just he usb controller?

[vivid wolf]

i mean i can try just plugging the headset in the audio driver

but then it wouldnt have a mic tho right?

if i only plugged it into the audio driver

[timid pasture]

I'm not sure to be honest since i haven't used the new krakens

But it doesn't hurt to just test

[vivid wolf]

it doesnt work now

no audio

[timid pasture]

The headset shouldn't show up in synapse 3.0 if i'm correct? since it's aux but the USB controller should

[vivid wolf]

the controller does

the issue is

it just sounds so bad

and the mic doesnt work

ive had krackens and their not this bad

[timid pasture]

Check the windows sound panel

Does the microphone show up in recording devices?

[vivid wolf]

uh idk how to do that

[timid pasture]

Right click on the audio icon in the bottom right of windows

then sound settings

[vivid wolf]

well now the audio doesnt work lol

when i plugged it back into the controller

nvm i got it

[timid pasture]

Ok

[vivid wolf]

now what im in the sound settings

[timid pasture]

At the top right you should see "Sound control panel"

[vivid wolf]

im there

in recording

[timid pasture]

Do you see anything labled razer?

Or the controller

[vivid wolf]

yea

[timid pasture]

Make sure it's set as default

[vivid wolf]

it is

[timid pasture]

When you talk does the sound register?

[vivid wolf]

yes

[timid pasture]

It sounds like the mic is fine than, possibly it's with the software you're using?

[vivid wolf]

the mic is fine now

[timid pasture]

hm

ok

[vivid wolf]

but the audio is the issue

[timid pasture]

In the playback tab does it have any other razer device listed?

Possibliy it's set to the wrong default one?

[timid pasture]

Set game to default

not chat

It's probably feedback looping from the mic which could explain the horrible quailty

[vivid wolf]

now its super quiet

[timid pasture]

make sure its turned up

the controller might have volume?

[vivid wolf]

it is all the way

[timid pasture]

Otherwise check the USB Controller in synapse and make sure its turned up

Right click on the default one, should be game and go to properties then "Levels" is that turned up all the way?

[vivid wolf]

yea it is

let me check ingame real quick

[timid pasture]

Alright

Also if you haven't make sure the USB controller is up in synapse

Not sure if it has a volume slider in synapse

[vivid wolf]

it still sounds bad

even though i turned it up

[timid pasture]

It's still set to game right?

not mic?

[vivid wolf]

yes

[timid pasture]

Is it set to the correct bitrate?

not telecom or anything

[vivid wolf]

no its set high and when it plays thru the test on there

it sounds good

but in discord and ingame

it sounds like shit

[timid pasture]

Check discords setting

make sure it's set to the correct one

[vivid wolf]

it is

[timid pasture]

should just be set to default, but you can manually pick it

Hmm

Does youtube sound normal?

[vivid wolf]

idc if discord sounds like shit but i need ingame to be good

and let me check

it doesnt sound that good but i can tolerate it

[timid pasture]

It's hard to figure out the issue when i've never used the new krakens but, hmm

[vivid wolf]

its justy ingame

[timid pasture]

Does the game options have a audio device selector?

[vivid wolf]

nah

or idk

[timid pasture]

I'm not sure what the issue could be tbh, if it sounds fine now but just the game is bad it's probably something with the game.

Can you plug the headset dirrectly into the aux on your pc?

Just to test

[vivid wolf]

it doesnt sound fine for anything everything sounds bad tho

[timid pasture]

make sure it's not in the mic port but the headphones port

[vivid wolf]

but idc if the discord n chrome sound bad

yea ik

[timid pasture]

Let me know if it sounds fine without the controller

[vivid wolf]

ill plug it into the aux

it sounds the same

[timid pasture]

Sounds bad?

hmm

[vivid wolf]

yea

[timid pasture]

that's really odd

Do you have another thing you can try it on

in case it's windows causing issues

[vivid wolf]

nah

[timid pasture]

dang

[vivid wolf]

im just gonna use my broken ass headset

idk whats wrong with it

[timid pasture]

Yeah i'm not sure tbh, that's really unfortunate maybe someone else can chime in with a solution

[vivid wolf]

like i dont think the krackens are this bad bc it literally sounds like i have a hoodie over my ear tryna hear for sound

idk

its good

thanks for all the help tho fr

[timid pasture]

Yeah no problem! hope you can fix it

[vivid wolf]

if i plug my other headset in

it sounds good

[timid pasture]

So it's not windows

dang

i really have no idea hah

[vivid wolf]

yea its whatever

thanks tho

[timid pasture]

you already uninstalled drivers and everything dang

no problem

[glass knoll]

you said on the game sound it sounded really quiet: Can you check your game/voice balance on the USB audio controller?

[frosty zealot]

Hi

[spiral knoll]

Question: Does the Viper Ultimate do automatic game detection and profile switching if Synapse is not running?

[wicked berry]

mamba hyperflux or basilisk ultimate (if they where the same price)

[blissful pulsar]

Basilisk Ultimate

[wicked berry]

any particular reason?

[blissful pulsar]

Much more recent, more RGB, better sensor, better mouse switches, still insane battery life, clutch button

[wicked berry]

good points, thanks 😄

[blissful pulsar]

[dry bluff]

Anyone here have the Razor phone 2

[stray timber]

I would be one, yes

[crimson wren]

Which synapse is needed for the wolverine ultimate

On computer

[restive sparrow]

I don't know if you can use 2, but 3 works

[regal fjord]

None

You use the Xbox one

[dry bluff]

@stray timber how long have you had it

[carmine plinth]

can i change the cynosa chroma keycaps?

[regal fjord]

No

[alpine carbon]

@crimson wren synapse 3 will not work

[crimson wren]

Im all set

[marble timber]

❤️

[blissful pulsar]

[glass knoll]

So much Razer

[marble timber]

Got one of those stickers on the side of my desk too

Something abt me just cant stop loving razer

[blissful pulsar]

mine's missing the USB Audio Controller and the Goliathus Chroma Extended

they're in storage for now

[alpine carbon]

I have a razer naga 2014, firefly, huntsman, kiyo, siren x, and currently im using a razer kraken pro v2 (i have 2 of them) but im switching to a kraken ultimate

[alpine carbon]

Why does it say Razer before every device in synapse

there’s literally no need

[timid pasture]

I'm pretty sure things like the hues show up in the same place so it's probably for organizing purposes

[blissful pulsar]

👆

[noble rock]

Does anyone know if the mic on the true wireless earbuds is any good?

[glass knoll]

They appear under modules Ponkle but yes

mine's missing the Nommo Chroma and Seiren Pro though

[timid pasture]

Ah

[blissful pulsar]

Why doesn't the Nommo Chroma show up in Synapse/

[glass knoll]

@blissful pulsar because it's not currently connected to my PC haha.

[blissful pulsar]

Explains a lot 🙂

Downside is of course you're stuck on the wave effect

[glass knoll]

I use it as a Chromecast Audio device

[blissful pulsar]

it's quality is very high

[glass knoll]

Indeed.

And you get thumping bass from it.

[blissful pulsar]

Quick tip for you: Enable high dynamic range on the chromecast settings, it makes them sound so much better

[glass knoll]

Don't think the CCA support HDR

[blissful pulsar]

They do

Lemme grab a screenshot for you

[glass knoll]

Intriguing. If it does I'm enabling it.

Well, when I get home that is.

[blissful pulsar]

it's in Dutch, but it's under "Geluid" and then "Volledig Dynamisch Bereik"

Which means Full dynamic Range

[glass knoll]

I was gonna say it looks like double Dutch to me haha

[blissful pulsar]

If you enable that, it sounds so much better

[glass knoll]

Gotta be on the same WiFi network to do it... argh

[regal fjord]

What does CCA actually do?

[blissful pulsar]

it's a chromecast but then for speakers

[glass knoll]

Think Chromecast but for audio only.

[blissful pulsar]

It's EOL now unfortunately

[glass knoll]

I hope they refresh it to enable any speakers to get the Chromecast treatment.

[alpine carbon]

So, are the Nommo actually good? I've only heard very bad stuff about them.

[glass knoll]

I've found them to be good yes.

[alpine carbon]

Equal to the Logitech stuff you get with the same amount of money? They don't have a subwoofer...

[glass knoll]

I don't know, I've not had the Logitech ones.

But my reason for getting them was because they were Razer.

[alpine carbon]

Yeah, I am thinking about getting the razer ones but for those speaker thingies logitech is apparently far better

[glass knoll]

I wanted the Chroma.

[wispy flower]

Really digging my new razer phone

The speakers are just perfect

[kind vapor]

how do i put my spacebar back on huntsman te

took it off to clean now it doesnt go back on without get stuck down

[frosty zealot]

Wtf is the point on asking and leaving

[blissful pulsar]

I was gonna say just push down until the stabilizer snaps back into place but fine I guess

[timid pasture]

They asked in support as well, they got it fixed

[polar reef]

i got the nommo chroma's

they sound good o3o

the only thing i dont like is a minor design flaw

the connection between the flat base and the speaker itself is frail

if your getting them and you tend to go to lan parties and such i would advise to save the plastic they come in and/or the box so you can move them in that

[red bloom]

Is a gaming keypad worth it? I'm thinking of getting the Tartarus V2 and throwing some macros on it, My original plan was to use an old Corsair keyboard and load that with macros but I can't get it working.

[cursive gate]

for macros and shortcuts they are pretty cool, for gaming they need quite some time to get used too

[polar reef]

i have 2 profiles for it

the first has the arrowkeys mapped to it since i had a game or 2 that uses that instead of WASD

the other is for metasequoia
it has some of the more annoying commands to press macro'd to it

[blissful pulsar]

Just bought the PC-011 Dynamic Razer Edition 👌

[balmy skiff]

just got my razer blackwidow. love it ❤️

[glass knoll]

The Blackwidow is an awesome piece of kit

[polar reef]

i got new headphones o3o

the right one is my old one xD

its my longest lasting headphones but they are starting to slowly die

[frosty zealot]

YAY @polar reef

but if they are not kraken TE then bye

[polar reef]

this actually

is my whole collection

on the man o war the headband is busted and held together with tape

the tiamat 7.1 is brand new i just hate the audio from it

music has no bass

and the surround is well

meh

at its best

o and i need to install synapse 2 for it to work

at all

[proud lion]

All I can say is dude clean you desk wow

[frosty zealot]

ik lol thats dirty

[polar reef]

i know >.<

its on my list of things to do in 2020

its like 30 minutes till midnight

[prime furnace]

I put coreboot as an alternative BIOS/EFI on my Blade stealth and look at that bootime

Mimoja (◕ᴗ◕✿)🦋 (@WingsOfMimoja)

!WIP! Coreboot on the newest razer blade stealth

Coldboot doesn't work, the EC needs to be kept on, else it will shorten something. (?)
GPIOs are still not configured correctly. There are quite a bit of weird new bits on Icelake I dont understand.

Nice 7 seconds faster than mine including windows hallo.

[blissful pulsar]

😏

[high arch]

@blissful pulsar Is that all yous stuff??

I was at Razer London Today, I dont get how the audio controller works.

[regal fjord]

The base station isn't metal is it? I'm still waiting for that

[high arch]

I don't think it is. I didn't feel like metal when I was looking at one in store 2day

[blissful pulsar]

Nope it's plastic

[high arch]

Oh

[blissful pulsar]

I got the PC011 dynamic today

[high arch]

Fairly light

[blissful pulsar]

it's so amazing

[high arch]

Noice. Wanna get wireless hammerhead

[blissful pulsar]

Still need to remove some foil on the frond glass

but I can't get it off

[high arch]

Nice

[pure root]

Just got my rig set up

[alpine carbon]

laptoop

[quasi ruin]

Nice but isn’t the keyboard should be placed right in front main monitor?

[polar kestrel]

i would move the laptoop to the side

[alpine carbon]

yeah I wouldn’t want to constantly look to the left that would hurt my neck

[pure root]

My main is still on the way! That left monitor is for my 1.5 year old who sits beside me and watches Disney movies throughout the day

[quasi ruin]

Rpg strix for watching Disney LoL I’m jelly😉

[polar kestrel]

yeah i was gonna say

thats some imersion

[alpine carbon]

Small laptop screen seems too far away

[alpine carbon]

i need some help

[pure root]

Hi @alpine carbon! How can we help?

[alpine carbon]

So right

Synapse want picking my my kraken TE

@pure root

[pure root]

@alpine carbon Ah, I see. Please switch over to the support channel and ask your question there. 🙂

[alpine carbon]

Didn’t even see it thx

[hot briar]

High core laptop AMD CPU's with NVidia RTX GPU's are coming out this year. I really hope Razer is looking into following suit... Would love to see that combination in a Blade 15

[mighty heron]

AMD and RTX?

Hell yeah

Now I'm excited

[pastel bough]

my blade is running so much smoother since I reinstalled Linux on it 🙂

[pure root]

Nice! @pastel bough

Just finished my setup this evening!

[alpine carbon]

What would the Tartarus be used for?

cause i wanna use it if i go into music production but idk if it would be a waste or not

actually i dont think i can change keybinds in DAWs so nvm

[pastel bough]

and for those that might be wondering, yes I game under linux using Wine mainly

AMD $4K 64 core CPU coming out next month

[alpine carbon]

the symmetry is nice acmanuel, but the practicality is just no

[fringe hemlock]

hey i want to get a razer lappy how can i tell which one is advanced and which one isnt

on the new 2018 model and 2019

[fading basalt]

anybody have a good setup for the razer kraken v2? The best sound and mic settings and good footstep sound?

[pastel bough]

The base model didn't come out before 2019. The 2018 Blade 15 become the 2019 Blade 15 Advanced

[grave summit]

i got another razer naga trinity on christmas because it started double clicking again

and the new one is double clicking now

[frosty zealot]

Refund then lol

[weary sequoia]

Damn it Razer

Introducing the beautiful Tomahawk and saying it starts around 2k

😭

[quasi ruin]

Strommore, there’s base model with Pascal gpu in 2018. Umaru chan the difference from look between base and advanced is on advanced there’s ethernet port on left side the Blade, from internal base has two storage ports m2 and sata bay meanwhile advanced not, later has vapor chamber heat sink. Mid 2019 model, base only comes with 1660ti and 2060. There’s advanced early 2019 with 2060 though, the cpu is 8750H like on 2018 Blade 15, all mid 2019 Blade 15 model comes with 9750H.

[alpine carbon]

@weary sequoia i mean have you seen the specs

[crimson wren]

@weary sequoia it may be choseable so you can chose different specs to reduce price

[weary sequoia]

It is a laptop CPU

[crimson wren]

@weary sequoia well not everyone is going to need a 2080 super or 64 gb of ram it may be choseable

All I need would be the cpu, I have everything else

[weary sequoia]

Isn't it starting at 2k?

[crimson wren]

I don’t think it is I think it is 2k for everything like the 2080 super 64 gb

And i9

It’s probably you chose the parts you want@

[mighty heron]

With a 2080 super, an i9 , and 64gb of ram, this thing is like the best gaming PC on the planet

I am an AMD fan, but you can't argue with those specs

[crimson wren]

I like the size of it and the look, I would prefer to buy just the cpu and case and then stick my ram and 1070 TI in it

[mighty heron]

It's a good CPU, but for the price of an i9 with 8 cores, you can get an AMD ryzen 9 with 12 cores

[crimson wren]

I’m aware I’ve done my research

I have a 3.60 ghz i7 but I have 32 gb of ram and now it is 4.00

Which is weird cause at 16 it is 3.60

[weary sequoia]

"While Intel will be selling the NUC 9 Extreme this March as a barebones system (read: bring your own OS, memory, storage, and GPU) starting at around $1,050 with a Core i5 module, $1,250 for Core i7, or around $1,700 for the flagship Core i9"

https://www.theverge.com/2020/1/7/21051879/intel-pc-nuc-9-extreme-ghost-canyon-element-hands-on-teardown-ces-2020

On the topic of Intel's NUC 9 Extreme Unit, the pricing on this website is 1300 for a 17-9750, and 1800 for a 19-9980HK (https://simplynuc.com/ghost-canyon/)

Well that helps me understand the pricing of the core module, and why Apple charged as much as they did for a laptop CPU in their Mac Mini. This does make me wonder what Razer includes with their starting $2,000 model though.

[crimson wren]

@weary sequoia gpu and ram

Is what brings it up

[weary sequoia]

@crimson wren Imagine if the base model did not include the GPU

and still cost 2K

[mighty heron]

That would actually be a scam

[crimson wren]

It would be

[steel skiff]

Basically anything over 60hz is a waste because the human eye does not know the difference between 60 and say 144hz so essentially the raptor is a waste

[crimson wren]

That’s if you don’t have any thing close to 20/20 vision or contacts in

Glasses makes it look pretty similar and hard to tell the different

[pastel bough]

@steel skiff spoken like someone who hasn't spend significant time using a 144Hz display! I have noticed every change in frequency starting at 25Hz TV through 60Hz to 120Hz and 144Hz

[steel skiff]

@pastel bough well yeah 25 to 60 yeah but I’ve noticed it really doesn’t make a difference, to me at least

[crimson wren]

You got glasses?

[foggy gulch]

how good are the hammerheads compared to other bluetooth earphones?

[dry bluff]

Anyone know of good docking stations that works with the RazerPhone 2?

@pastel bough

I've noticed a difference between 60hz and a 120hz. Haven't used a 144hz anything yet sadly 😂 @steel skiff

[pastel bough]

Yeah the RP2 120Hz is definitely noticeable 🙂 But that screen is pretty close to your eyes. Well closer than a laptop screen or a monitor

[wispy flower]

Using the RP2 really makes me wish project Linda became a thing

Would be a nice laptop for college

[wispy flower]

https://youtu.be/5gKu-T13vXs

[crimson wren]

Project kinda is in easy concept imo but needs major funding, and require a razer phone with wireless charging capabilities

It is a simple Bluetooth plus program Linda deal

Plus a laptop

[fringe hemlock]

maybe in 5 years

[wispy flower]

The RP2 has wireless charging

[pastel bough]

the real problem with project linda (due to the RP requirement) would be the lack of demand for it, making it cost prohibitive for Razer to manufacture at the moment

[crimson wren]

I would say they would have to advertise hard

Like the all round work device

[flat tusk]

Anyone know if there is anyway to increase the brightness on the RBP 17?

[dry bluff]

I'd so buy it but na half the people I ask don't even know what a RP2 is. But anyway that's why I was looking for a good docking station to use IDK what's all compatible

[vast shore]

I wanted to get RP2, but sadly it seems to have been discontinued in Europe.

[regal fjord]

Docking station?

No phones apart from some samsungs can use a docking station

Well, good software hardware wise

[alpine carbon]

What makes a gamer phone different from a regular phone XD

Like I get RGB but I don't need it on me everyday, plus I heard the camera sucks which defeats half the purpose of a phone (source. Linus + not a photographer)

btw I would buy it if I had the chance (cough fgo) I'm just wondering on other people's opinion of why

[timid pasture]

The 120hz screen as well as 8GB of RAM and a (for the time) top of the line chip, yeah you could say it's a gamer phone but imo it's a great phone overall especially for the price. Also the camera isn't that bad the stock camera app does have some bad image processing though so everyone pretty much sideloads Gcam

[alpine carbon]

I didn't know the camera was a software issue 😮

I would buy it just for the price

I don't get phones that come out where they have a thinner bezel, are more expensive, harder to fix, and have a bigger screen

The phones are getting so big now that companies decided "lol, let's just bend it so there is more screen to use"

[timid pasture]

Hah yeah, I'm not a fan of incredibly small bezels as I always seem to touch the screen with my palm while using it one handed, same with large screens I've always liked small screens better 6 inches is a pretty good size I could do smaller though

As well as batteries are so sacrificed now with phones being so thin

One reason I went with the Razer phone was because of the square design, I've always liked boxed phones like the iPhone 4S

[alpine carbon]

understandable

I will give Razer's design credit where it's due, their laptops look professional and don't scream "IM A GAMER LOOK AT ME" unlike some other laptops.

Simple black or mercury with a clean logo and keys that let you see in the dark

[dry bluff]

I played at 120hz all throughout my school day and I got on the bus at 40%.

Lemme get a pic I took yesterday in the camera app

Also there are phones that can use a docking station I was asking for more but there is at least 2 that I know of that work with the razor phone 2

[lethal reef]

Is the Razer Tomahawk a gpu?

[timid pasture]

No

It's more so a case using Intel all in one motherboard thing, you would supply your own gpu

[crimson wren]

Wait gpu is not included and I got to pay around 2 grand for it

[timid pasture]

Oh wait, it does include a gpu. Haven't looked much into it but yes it appears it includes one.

[mighty heron]

It not a special tomahawk gpu tho

It's a Nvidia rtx 20

But they haven't said which one

The pic shows a 2080

[alpine carbon]

Ok so
How “reliable” are opto-mech switches

Cause I feel like they have a lot more room for error compared to standard switches

[regal fjord]

I have never had an issue that wasn't of my own fault

[alpine carbon]

They are actually more reliable

[craggy dagger]

what would you guys say is the best razer mouse under $50?

[wispy schooner]

i'll add to that, i'm looking to finally upgrade past my office tech and get a gaming mouse and I have my sights on the razer deathadder elite, anyone here have experience with it that can confirm quality

[alpine carbon]

@craggy dagger Deathadder Elite is on amazon rn for $30

[blissful pulsar]

Some more devices haha

Deathadder Elite is very good for 30.

The V2 is coming out tomorrow but for an office mouse, the elite is fine.

[river frost]

"but for an office mouse, the elite is fine."

:D

[blissful pulsar]

for 30 $ ...

It's better than some shitty office mouse haha at least it's ergonomic

[fringe hemlock]

anyone here own a razer blade 15 late 2018 or 2019

[pastel bough]

me, but I run Linux on it

[fringe hemlock]

anybody else

[quasi ruin]

I own early batch Blade 15 advanced 2018 with black vapor chamber. Late 2018 was base and 4K advanced with gtx (Pascal) card I believe.

[small lagoon]

Hey guys could you help me, I'm wondering if the Razer Wolverine has on board memory or not?

[regal fjord]

Which Wolverine are you referring too?

[small lagoon]

Both but specifically tournament edition

[regal fjord]

Please, don't @ me

[small lagoon]

apologies

[regal fjord]

On the site it doesn't say anything

[small lagoon]

can you bind the paddles usin g the controller without synapse?

[regal fjord]

You need synapse to bind the controller

And with my Wolverine ultimate, it only showed up on my xbox synapse not pc, so not sure if thats the same still

[small lagoon]

can you install synapse. bind the buttons then uninstall it?

[alpine carbon]

Is a 2070 blade 15 for 1,899 worth it?

[pure root]

Depends if you consider it worth it

[quasi ruin]

If you’re in US apparently there Best Buy is doing crazy sales on open box unit, I saw tons Redditer posting their steal price on that model. I’d say it’s worth if you’re in new laptop market since it’s under 2K. I usually buy Blade 2K plus even with some discount, though it used to be high end options but 2070maxq isn’t too far different from 2080 one.

[alpine carbon]

But this is brand new

Not open box

B&h

The 2070 model open box here is minimum 2k

[small lagoon]

@alpine carbon i think so since the 2060 one where i live is like 1800 on the razer site

[alpine carbon]

It’s 1900 now

The 2070 is 1900 on b&h

[small lagoon]

that's a steal imo

[alpine carbon]

Oh wait it’s a 8750h

[alpine carbon]

I never hear about the Lenovo legion. Is there a reason?

In terms of gayming laptops in general

[wispy schooner]

Alright boys I have ordered my deathadder elite, first proper gaming tech

The price difference between the elite and this is quite big considering that the differences are optical switches, a better cord, and less weight so I decided to stick with the budget option

[river frost]

yea both perform great

it's an update to address feature requests (400dpi, side grips) and bring it in line with the viper, whilst making a minor tweak to the right side to make it straighter

if they didn't it would still be one of their best mice, the optical switches and focus+ sensor are technically better but in real world practice won't make you a god etc

the elite sensor is still technically better than e.g. the 3360 in competitors like the model o/d too

so you'll be fine ^^

[small lagoon]

I don't notice the difference between the 3360 and anything better

[wispy schooner]

I mean when you get to a high enough dpi level it starts to get like "why do I need this much dpi"

my current mouse is 10cm in my 19cm hand, has a gritty bottom and the click actuation force is high so any upgrade, much less a razer mouse, is heaven

[alpine carbon]

Good deal?

[timid pasture]

Yeah

[alpine carbon]

I mean in terms of graphics card with same price there is the 1660 super or the rx 590 and the 1070ti will outperform both so good deal

[fringe hemlock]

take a look at the 1080

base

maybe theres a better deal

[alpine carbon]

Ok cool, thanks!

[tardy cloak]

hello

i'm planning on getting a full razer kit

razer blade pro 17 4k uhd
razer huntsman elite keyboard
razer viper elite mouse
razer nari elite headset
alienware 25 monitor

what do you think are

the best keyboard, mouse, headset?

headset seems to have generally bad reviews

and i really want some opinions before i commit to it

[timid pasture]

The huntsman is regarded as their best keyboard, I can't give my opinion on it as I don't have the keyboard myself so take that as you will.
The naris are their best headset imo granted I didn't have it for long but the time I did I loved it audio quality was good the mic wasn't anything amazing but it was good

[tardy cloak]

wait hold up, why aren't razer monitors on amazon

[timid pasture]

The viper I can't give my opinion on as I never owned it but if it's anything like the lancehead being ambidextrous I never got used to it I had to disable the right side buttons as I always pushed them. Also the balisik v2 and deathadder elite v2 just came out might want to check those out.

I think the raptor just came out so that's might be why it's not on amazon

Not sure

[tardy cloak]

i heard deathadder was bad from a friend

i really like how the raptor looks, unfortunately i'm confined to amazon

[timid pasture]

Never heard a bad thing about the deathadder it's kinda their overall great mouse, can't go wrong with it

Imo the basilisk will always be their best mouse :p

[tardy cloak]

hm

which basilisk would you recommend

[timid pasture]

The raptor might show up in Amazon soon not sure

[tardy cloak]

ultimate, v2, or regular?

[timid pasture]

The regular is the one I have which I love but if you have the money there's no reason not to go with the ultimate or v2 as they'll have better sensors

[tardy cloak]

hmm

i have the choice

ultimate or v2?

i'm a little scared about those little side pieces

don't they cause any problems?

the little pieces jutting out of the side

the one on the left of the basilisk for example

[timid pasture]

Ultimate will be better especially since it's wireless

The thumb button you mean?

The dpi clutch?

[tardy cloak]

suppose that's what it is

what does it do

doesn't it disrupt grip?

i've only just started using mice, and i have a trashy one so

[timid pasture]

It drops your dpi to a set amount while held it's supposed to be for like slowing down your aim for far shots or snipers but honestly I bind it to a random key on the keyboard like k and then you can use it as any bind in a game

And no it never messed my grip up

[tardy cloak]

can it be taken off?

[timid pasture]

It's the most comfortable mouse I've used

Yeah

[tardy cloak]

i see pics with it off

ok

[timid pasture]

I wouldn't though, it's probably my favorite feature of the mouse hah

But yeah if it messes with your grip you can

[regal fjord]

Yeah amazon is bad

[timid pasture]

The deathadder is basically a basilisk without the clutch or thumb rest

[regal fjord]

Don't buy from amazon

[timid pasture]

👀

[tardy cloak]

why's amazon bad

amazon is the only place i can buy from so

long story

[regal fjord]

It doesn't ship half its stock to me

[tardy cloak]

well it's not a problem for me

it's the only place that isn't a problem for me

xd

[tardy cloak]

would this monitor work well with a razer blade pro 17?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0733VW5QB/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=A2YLYLTN75J8LR&psc=1

i mean I couldn't find a raptor on amazon

[weary oxide]

Did Razer just completely stop producing the Razer phone 2 u can no longer get it on the website or view the page for the phone

[tardy cloak]

https://www.amazon.com/RAZER-Phone-UltraMotion-Qualcomm-Snapdragon/dp/B07H9V6PNV/ref=asc_df_B07H9V6PNV/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=385577214430&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17732284359660644113&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9010767&hvtargid=pla-847500354476&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=85459729424&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=385577214430&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17732284359660644113&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9010767&hvtargid=pla-847500354476

razer phone 2

[weary oxide]

Ik that I have a Razer phone already I was just curious

[tardy cloak]

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0733VW5QB/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=A2YLYLTN75J8LR&psc=1 alright, wondering how this monitor will go with my setup:
razer blade pro 17
razer huntsman elite (with keyboard pad)
razer basilisk elite (with rgb mouse pad)
razer nari ultimate (with rgb base)

[regal fjord]

alienware is pretty stinky these days, the name isn't as reputable as it used to be ive found

[alpine carbon]

^

[alpine carbon]

Unless razer guarantees me return shipping with no restock fee I would still use Amazon

[alpine carbon]

I would not get a blade off of amazon

I know two people who did and they weren’t even new

[tardy cloak]

well what monitor should i use?

i couldn't find a perfectly suitable one with okay aesthetics

[alpine carbon]

What kind of monitor are you looking for?

[tardy cloak]

One at least somewhat visually appealing

It has to be on amazon

I prefer HDR and over 1080p

Also, about 200Hz refresh

so basically 1080p

[alpine carbon]

https://www.amazon.com/XG258Q-FreeSync-Esports-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B0772BK7BV/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?keywords=1080p+240hz&qid=1579266290&sprefix=1080p+2&sr=8-5

This any good?

[fringe hemlock]

hey

does anyone know a place to buy replacement parts for a razer lappy

The HP omen x 2s has hdr 1440p 240hz

Why not just get a Razer monitor?

Not on amazon

[alpine carbon]

He said he wanted 200hz so I believe that one would be more suitable

[alpine carbon]

uhh that’s 1080p

and not a monitor

That’s a laptop

[alpine carbon]

THe razer monitor is overpriced

[fringe hemlock]

as a surprise to no one xd

[tardy cloak]

@alpine carbon thanks, that’s just what i needed

Also I want Razer monitor but it’s not on amazon ^^

[tardy cloak]

Wait hold up

If I have a wired keyboard

Will it plug into the monitor or laptop?

I plan to have a wireless headset, wired keyboard, wireless mouse

I intend to connect a monitor to the laptop though

It's a Razer Blade Pro 17

Ultimate Connectivity: Includes 1x Thunderbolt 3 USB-C 3.2, 1x USB-C, 3x USB 3.2 Type-A, 1x HDMI, 1x UHS-III SD card reader, 1x 2.5 Gbit ethernet port, and Wi-Fi 6 802.11ax wireless

I was palnning to use HDMI to conncet monitor

how would I connect the keyboard?

oh wait heck

I still need ports for headset and mouse to connect wireless

wth do i do

[mighty heron]

Just plug the keyboard into the laptop

It has 3 USB ports right?

[tardy cloak]

hmm

[mighty heron]

1 for the headset, 1 for the mouse and 1 for the keyboard

[tardy cloak]

aren't they HDMI?

it's a razer huntsman elite and razer basilisk ultimate

and razer nari ultimate*

[mighty heron]

I think those are usb

I have a nari, and I am sure that it is usb

HDMI is for display stuff

[tardy cloak]

um

apparently

huntsman needs two ports

??

[mighty heron]

One for the board and one for the underglow

If you just plug in the board, you still get the backlit keys

[tardy cloak]

hmm

so i'll have the blade off to the side with a heckload of cables poking out of it

and the full setup with monitor in front of me

seems great

and the monitor will use HDMI then?

[mighty heron]

Yes

[tardy cloak]

wait a second

the RGB stand has three USB ports

would those work?

[mighty heron]

If you plug the stand into the pc, I think

I'm not sure

[mighty heron]

I'm not sure if those would replace the ports on the PC if plugged into the pc

They may be in addition to the ones on the pc

[regal fjord]

might not provide enough power

[mighty heron]

True

I gtg

Cya

[tardy cloak]

Well let's see

Ultimate Connectivity: Includes 1x Thunderbolt 3 USB-C 3.2, 1x USB-C, 3x USB 3.2 Type-A, 1x HDMI, 1x UHS-III SD card reader, 1x 2.5 Gbit ethernet port, and Wi-Fi 6 802.11ax wireless

There's going to be HDMI for monitor

2 USB for keyboard

1 USB for mouse

1 USB for nari

[mighty heron]

You may need to not plug in the one for the underglow on the keyboard

[tardy cloak]

still would prefer to

[mighty heron]

You have 3 USB-A ports and 4 things to plug in

🤔

[tardy cloak]

it's called math

also maybe 5 if the rgb stand

[regal fjord]

Yes but that may not power it all

Which in effect wont do anything

[tardy cloak]

hmm

[tardy cloak]

well

apparently it'll be fine

I can place mouse and headset dongle in the base station

so therefore I'll have 2 left for keyboard on the laptop

[polar kestrel]

Display port , hdmi or vga what’s your opinion??

[alpine carbon]

No the 2 ports for the keyboard is one for the keyboard and one for the usb on the keyboard I believe

@alpine carbon ah I’m sorry I read the wrong the name. The correct name is HP OMEN X 27

[alpine carbon]

But he’s going to run a 2080 max q

It’s best to just get a good 1080p 240

Or 1440 144

[alpine carbon]

I’m just going by what he asked

[fringe hemlock]

244hz is shit the specs u need are equivalent to a 4k build

@polar kestrel displayport>hmdi>vga

i dont have list for vga i couldnt be asked to make one

vga is useless

[tardy cloak]

I'm trying to find a 34" curved 144hz 1440p monitor, can't find one though, only a 49", help?

I want a well known brand*

eh I'll just go with 1080p then

[crimson wren]

Viotek has one

At 32 I think

@tardy cloak

[fading jungle]

Is there any way i can disable the 2 side buttons on the right of my viper ultimate?

keep missclicking on them

[fading jungle]

like i'm right handed so i only need the 2 side buttons on the left of the mouse

the right ones are annoying me a little

[crimson wren]

Use synapse and bind a macro that does nothing to both @fading jungle

[fading jungle]

ok thx

[crimson wren]

Your welcome

[pale elk]

Don't bind a micro, you can just disable the buttons from the mouse tab @fading jungle

[wispy schooner]

or just pull a razer naga and straight remove the buttons like a chad

[fading jungle]

@wispy schooner not as rich as that

@pale elk done

[ivory iris]

Just curious, has anyone tried to bind text functions to keyboard/mouse and try to use them in Minecraft? I often have to repeat a lot of stuff in chat since I am an owner of a server so I find it easier to just hit a button and have it pasted. It works in everything else, but just wanted to see if anyone has found a way around this?

[wispy schooner]

you missed the joke, the razer naga trinity has a removable side and I was joking and saying that you should remove the side buttons to prevent them from being clicked

[dry bluff]

Lmao makes phone case for iPhone 11 but not their own phone

Mega oof

[blissful pulsar]

Razer phone is EOL

So would be stupid to keep making cases for it if it isn't being produced anymore

[dry bluff]

Eh kinda have a point there :/

[pastel bough]

@blissful pulsar it isn't quite EOL yet, Google requires phone manufactures to support their phones for a min of 2 years from memory and that will be end of this year

[blissful pulsar]

That's true, but the phone itself isn't being made anymore. not in terms of software support 🙂

[carmine remnant]

hi

[tardy cloak]

So I'm planning on getting a PC

1(Gen2, Type C), 1(Gen2, Type A), 4(Gen1, Type A) USB ports

will that work for me?

I don't think 1 USB-C is enough

and gen1 can't be good

i plan to use:

razer nari ultimate wireless
razer basilisk ultimate wireless
razer huntsman elite
razer base station chroma
razer firefly v2

so

can i get like

usb dividers or

usb c adapters

or what

would this work?

[mighty heron]

That would be fine

[tardy cloak]

k nice

[mighty heron]

The nari needs 1
Basilisk needs 1
Huntsman needs 2 (one for the Keyboard and one for the underglow)
The Firefly needs 1
And the base station needs 1 ( I think)

For a total of 6, so that would be more than enough ports

Including the ones on the PC

[tardy cloak]

k epic

pc has trash ports

[blissful pulsar]

I suggest connecting the Base station chroma to a USB 3 port on your pc directly and the rest of the devices to a high quality powered usb hub. That way you don't lose bandwith if you decide to connect a usb 3 harddisk or smtn to the base station

[harsh wasp]

So this issue happens randomly with my blade stealth when I turn it on. It eventually fixes (at least so far) after force restarting 10-20 times.

[hot briar]

Display port , hdmi or vga what’s your opinion??
@polar kestrel

DP for displays, always. HDMI for media (or devices that demand it)

The others are dead to me, outside really specific legacy/sever use cases

Has anyone heard anything in the rumor mill about Razer using the new AMD 4000 series in a Blade 15 revision?

[alpine carbon]

If something supports display port, always use it

[polar kestrel]

yeah ive only got one hdmi slot on my io so i needed to get two dp 2.0 monitors

but im using external audio except for where my hdmi is connected to my tv

for watching netflix and shit at 6k

[hot briar]

My primary is DP (1440p, 144hz)

VR headset is HDMI 2.x (that's the connector on the headset)

Third display is USB-C to HDMI (1080p, 60hz)

I'll change the third to USB-C DP later, once I upgrade to 144hz. Just had the adapter handy

[proper burrow]

So my razer kraken´s mic is working but for some reason i cant hear any audio

Any fixes?

[timid pasture]

Check your playback devices

Make sure the headphones are set as default device

[tardy cloak]

I'm looking for a good PC at around $1,689 max. That's the exact maximum possible.
I currently am looking at this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TRPGPCL/ref=ox_sc_act_title_11?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
Anyone find a better one?

[unique bay]

@tardy cloak I have an EXCELLENT build in my stream/training room that I am seeking to sell, the specs when purchased = 5800 USD. - I'd be willing to sell the power + some razer peripherals for around that maximum price. It was customized by Xidax and has a life-time warranty. DM me if interested at WinD#0001 I can give all the specs and benchmarking information.

[alpine carbon]

@tardy cloak hate to be that guy, but you’ll get better results building your own. pcpartpicker.com has great builds tho

[tardy cloak]

I'm sticking with prebuilt, sorry

[alpine carbon]

Fair enough

That being said the prebuilt looks alright

The keyboard and mouse look awful tho

Also

Go for the i7 build, not the i9 build, use the remaining money for a 144hz monitor

@tardy cloak

i7-9700k and 2070 Super will easily push 144+ FPS so get a good monitor if you don’t have one already

[tardy cloak]

I'm already getting a 144hz monitor already @alpine carbon

hmm

[alpine carbon]

Cool, get the i9 for more power I guess
