they feel (stock) like unlubed linears and when lubed they feel like a very lightly lubed linear

why are there no good alps clones
because no one uses alps

arent alps actually good in terms of tactility

cherry switches were never meant to be tactile

they're just light tactile, but still tactile
compared to my ktt matchas which id consider light tactile theyre a lot more tactile then a brown
id describe the mx brown as having a light scratch near the middle 2mm~ of the keystroke

also theyre very different when broken in/not broken in

well for one the beers are tactile switches
you may want to film them though, only reason I didn't buy a full 110 set of beers

if i ever replace switches ill probably go for some kang whites
its a 5 pin slot that works with the other regular switches ive tried
i doubt ill need otuemu specific switches
honestly on these switches i find myself bottoming out a lot less then the akko v3 cream blue
i feel like its the less harsh(non existant) bump

plate delete is an interesting mod
plate delete only really works if it's a 5 pin switch
young spoke
yeah
void geyser
otherwise, it's a fucking nightmare getting it on
I've got a plateless build with mx2a reds
young spoke
i’m pretty sure it is 5pin
i haven’t actually opened it yet i’ve just seen that switch and seen a 5 pin variant of it
i wonder if a plate delete will make it sound quieter or louder i’m planning on using this in work instead of my shitty laptop keyboard so i kind of want it quiet
fiery sail
sent back my wooting, im pretty sure i want to go with keychron silent K pro switches and im contemplating what keyboard to put them in.
barebones is out of the question due to price, im paying 35€ for the switches so i would like to spend somewhere around 40-70€ (full size, ISO-DE)
some options i have are the sharkoon skiller SGK20, acer predator aethon 300 or genesis thor 303.
all options available to me are in the screenshot:
(i didnt filter for how swappable as a lot of the hot swappable ones wont be listed)
flat dock
you might wanna do that because some in the screenshot aren't even MX switches
but why not a keychron keyboard as well?
that seems like it'd fit the layout and price
something like the V series
fiery sail
no keychron is just overpriced in germany
young spoke
whats wrong with the wooting
fiery sail
its SO ass
fiery sail
i dont want to miss out on a num pad again, i picked their most silent option and dampened it and it still was quite loud.
i had to wait 2 months for a product, they offered me a gift card, whichthey later revoked, im right now in contact with customer protection if the issue can be resolved naturally nad i can be compensated for everything or if this will legit end up in a lawsuit
linear switches arent for me, the actuation force wit hthe lekker 60s was too much, which is why im now targetting 40-50g silent linears
the software was terrible compared to via, locking out so many options if you wanted to use the 8000Hz mode
i could go on for hours
some of these are personal
and just subjective to taste
but as a company wooting is just awful
btw the product was listed as "in stock" i got 3 confirmation emails updating my process to the product is being packed, packed and ready to ship and then 1 week later after nothign happened they just said "yeah your keyboard never eisted, we just made up these confirmation emails out of thin air, here is a gift card"
the gift card would not be applicable to my current order, which makes it literally useless, no im not actually buying a 2nd wooting keyboard anytime soon, why would i?
and then later on they just claimed they never offered a gift card
young spoke
fair
fiery sail
the good thing is i can stil lreturn it and learned i dont want linear switches (which makes HE kinda useless (and even more expensive)) and the costs of shipping and all that are carried by a very terrible company
and most likely im already entitled to a free keyboard because of misleading information and i'll just sell that or gift it to a friend
at least thats what consumer protection told me so far
young spoke
id think linear switches would be the best HE switch type
because of how analog inputs work
fiery sail
exactly
thats why im happy to drop the HE and just go some mechanical keyboard thats cheap and silent and just a mior step up fro mrubberdome
as switching back to rubebrdome after~10 days feels totally fine
like minorly mushy but i only notice it while paying attention.
my other option would be to just put a 2nd keyboard in thats really silent but i dont want to do that really
young spoke
i like my ak820 pro
fiery sail
mainly bc of desk space
young spoke
you could try that
fiery sail
no ISO DE layout that i can find
and buyign new keycaps and reprogramming keys is just not worth it at below 100€
oh also wootings plastic switch puller they sent with the keyboard broke after just pulling out 3 switches and i had to use a screwdriver to get them all out bc the keyboard doesnt fit in the box with switches in.
well, now its wootings problem if some of those switches have cracks and scratches 🤷

they are 35 including shipping whilst the next cheapest option is 55 and wouldnt even cover the whole keyboard

Hey all! I'm between three oled monitors with similar specs and price, but I'm not sure which one to buy. They all have 1440p 27, with 240hz OLED
I was gonna buy the Gigabyte one but I'm not sure if Asus has better panels etc
(The Asus one is 100 euros more but I don't mind if it means it's better)
Someone suggested this one too
winter plume
i wanna buy a qd oled 1440p monitor, should i buy now or is it better if i wait
fiery sail
summer generally is a good time, depending where you live i would probably scout for sales.
where i live (germany) right now there are some for under 480€ (taxes and shipping already included)
but sometimes there are sales for 400-450€ so its worth to keep an eye on it for some time, especially with websites that offer price alerts
fiery sail
unless you have very specific usecases where 360Hz and 240Hz is a night and day difference (most likely this wouldnt be your own money then but an esports org buying the monitor for you) i would never spend that much money on it.
the standard for even the more budget OLEDs is so high tho, that it barely makes a difference, they are all very good already with minor differences.
the main difference here would be WOLED or QD OLED which is more of a personal preference thing, monitors unboxed has videos about it.
but paying 20% more for that is very hard to justify, even for very convinced WOLED people.
besides that, the OEM menu is probably the biggest factor, besides colour calibration, which is subjective and you wont know unless u see both in front of you which picture you like more.
they are all accurate, just some might have a more blue-ish picture whilst others are tainted more red and again thats preference and you wont know in advance.
in general just go with the cheapest (ideally wait and scout for sales for a bit) and 99/100 times you will have made the best decision

100 euro difference
fiery sail
529
ocean bear
not sure how accurate this is but apparently the evnia one is better at handling colour?
fiery sail
if so its marginal and if you seriously work woith videos you should copy an ICC colour profile (just ask chatgpt where to find one) and at that point both will be very similar in colour accuracy
they dont spend a lot of time calibrating it which is why is one of the reasons the cheap ones are cheaper, but optimized settings are just out there to copy/download

ocean bear
I currently have a used samsung oddisey g5 I bought ages ago
the 32 1440p one
i'ts okay but the VA panel really tires me
apparently the colour thing I showed is because the phillips has 1500000:1 contrast?
not sure if it's a typo lmao
fiery sail
i enjoyed the uplift in contrast and picture quality when i moved from IPS to VA
fiery sail
no thats correct, most OLEDs have some contrast ratios in the millions
because, well, a turned of pixel is quite the contrast
😄
ocean bear
so is the difference between 15000000 vs 1:5000 that noticable?
does it mean the gigabyte ones dont fully turn off?
fiery sail
they also turn off, it should have similar contrast ratio
ocean bear
right
I'll get the cheaper gygabite one
i've been thinking of getting a dirt cheap secondary screen too
so maybe i'll spend the 100 euros I save on that

fiery sail
there service alone is very close to a lawsuit rn bc what they did to me
at least consumer protection is involved
and 90% of its features rule out the others
if u have 8k Hz mode on, it disables any RGB effects and basically anything else they offer
i dont even remember everything that disabled something
it was so much
fiery sail
idk
8k mode also locks u to 75% brightness
for some reason
like it seems to be power supply issue
not even mentioning their support legit scammed me
(which is why there is a potential lawsuit)
oh they also advertised 90 switches but in the actual pack there were only 87
which means there was just 1 single reserve switch
@young spoke u know some things about sim racing right?

in game, i cant steer fully

nope, i stil lget like 80% max xsteering

i just replay at a corner
with controller i make it
with steering wheel i crash the barrier
young spoke
id try ams2 see if its the wheel or the game thats the issue
fiery sail
the weirdest thing is in the calibration it shows it can do -100 to 100
and then it just never does it when exiting the menu
fiery sail
seems to be the same issue in ams2
the game registers in at 100 left/right
but when in the race no matter how much i turn it, it wont turn as much as on the controller

games are weird
fiery sail
chevy cruze 2022
the weirdest thing is it recognizes it in the software and sais it can do 100%
and then it doesnt
in both games
young spoke
it’s probably a software issue
try opening usb controllers in windows and pressing t128 properties and recalibrate
does the wheel physically stop or does it just stop in game
young spoke
what are your wheel rotation settings in game
fiery sail
100 360 when it was set to 360 from f1
young spoke
that means the game is limiting the rotation to 170 for some reason
young spoke
100 360 when it was set to 360 from f1
put it to 900 and put it in game to 900 too
most games just have a stroke when not using 900° of rotation
also check if there’s an option to sync wheel rotation try that on and off
fiery sail
that worked
but
it steers even more than controller
i wont complai ntho
problem is this game is useless to me and we somehow have to get this to f12019
but thats progress and im already infinitely thankful 😄
in f1 it didnt help, still exact same as before

i wont complai ntho
real rotation of that car is like 540 last i checked

@young spoke alright, im ready to test settings again.
how would you proceed now?
tested in 360, same issue, controller makes the corner, wheel doesnt
althought whats interesting, this is what max steering right looks like ingame with controller
with wheel the ingame wheel turns more, but the steering on track is less
its just complete and utter bananas
just to make sure i also turned off any assists to make sure those arent different depending on if you have a wheel attached or controller, but even with all of them off, the same inputs turn out different results
fiery sail

dont ask chatgpt to give u the calibrations (it cant even do that), just ask it where to find them, as there often are 10 reviews and only 1 or 2 of them have an ICC profile.
i recently looked up one for a friends notebook and couldnt find an icc profile myself, but chatgpt just linked me an article that had one in 5 seconds
and this happens all the time.
most often i just use chatgpt upfront as its just quicker than clicking through articles manually
young spoke
this is accurate
wheel needs to steer a lot more in a corner
because controller has weird smoothing
fiery sail
alright, but technically given the same input of 100% steering and 100% throttle the result from controlelr and wheel should be the same, right?

germany
but europe in general has very similar prices
rn there are 2 offers sub 750
earlier this week there was one for 720
with the ti super u could almost think of going 4k, especially if you dont mind using upsaling and frame gen
its kind of an overkill for 1440p and just not good enough for 4k
if u plan on upgrading to a 5080 level card in the next 1-2 years i would definitely recommend 4k if u can afford it
else OLED is great and all, but especially if ur comign from a more high end 1440p monitor 750$ (pre taxes i imagine so more like 900) is still a lot of money

yeahh thats it
the name of one of the worst choices ive ever made
fiery sail
was it that expensive?
winter plume
ill sell if for like 200 (bought it for 300)
fiery sail
as u technically could get a second one and play dual QHD
for the time being
wouldnt need to be the exact same one ofc
winter plume
yeah but i think its wiser to sell it and buy some games, im not a streamer of anything and i dont have much space in my setup
winter plume
ill think abt it, thanks for ur time
winter plume
and not buy an OLED rn
why is that
fiery sail
npnp thats why im here
the 750$ is pre tax right?
meaning roughly 900$ that will leave ur bank account
in both cases thats a lot of money without any meaningful differences besides the panel type
you already have 1440p with quite a high refresh rate.
and the other improvements like response times are technically there but unless you are getting paid to play esports, wont matter to you.
(and in that case it would be already your orgs money that pays for the monitor)
even minus the 200$ (if u even get that much) that is still a large commitment when most of what you gain is better colour visualization/contrast with the other features not really too different during actual gameplay.
if u were coming from a 60 hz monitor or 1080p or something, now we are talking about a lot of uplifts,
but you are comign from a fairly high end 1440p, the only thing it doesnt have is an OLED panel or other forms of local dimming.

fiery sail
no worries.
maybe u want to go a similar path as me, get a 4k OLED next year when prices are better (although if ur in the US thats more of gamble than a given compared to... any other country)
your 4070ti super will be perfectly fine with 4k and a little upscaling even in demanding titles (those might need balanced to get 60-100FPS)
until 2026/2027, if ur lucky a bit longer, but ofc we are already getting speculative here.
in indiana jones, expedition 33 and cyberpunk for example u still have some headroom and could probably even run those titles natively in optimized settings.
and by the time your GPU gives in, 5080 level cards should come down quite a bit.
if u think by next year that a buying a 5080 is realistic in the near future, a 4k OLED definitely is an amazing move.
if not, having some money saved up especially in the US is always a good idea.

I was looking at a 5k2k monitor primarily for productivity. I am on a 5090 laptop, so i figured the dell u4025qw is probably the better choice (and play on a different monitor mounted underneath) since there's no way for a 5090m to play most games well on the LG 5k2k right?

1080p is perfectly fine, you can get entire setups including, PC monitor and other peripherals to get started with gaming for below 1k$
1440p is an uplift that doesnt require an ultra high end GPU and even the monitors are fairly cheap, so if u spend a lot of time and have a little extra its often worth it.
4k, especially if you play demanding titles and dont just edit spreadsheets requires GPUs that cost about 1000$ on their own (to work without compromises). and 9/10 times u would get a better and cheaper experience in 1440p with an OLED monitor, which is why 4k is at its best for the really high end where u have to cheap out on nothing.
ofc there are niche szenarios that can change that, e.g. if you only play idk minecraft, stardew valley and trackmania, but for most gamers this is roughly how it goes.
you should still look at yourself as the individual tho. some people just notice the difference less than others. if everyone around you has a 5080 and 4k, that doesnt mean it was worth it for them or it would be for you. the best thing is to check what you can afford, try it out before buying it, seeing if the difference is worth the money for you and if you would be better off spendign the money elsewhere or not at all, saving for emergencys or reducing your work hours to have more freetime instead of a higher end setup.

honestly i don’t think anyone should buy a new 1080p monitor
if you already have one fair enough but i’ve seen people buy 240hz1080p monitors over a 165hz1440p monitor
just why
fiery sail
i would also not get a high end 1080
but if u are new to pc gaming and want to try it out first, its already a huge commitment of at least 800$
no reason to make that barrier of entry even higher
not even including games and most people who are new wont instantly sail the high seas or start by playing the free2play games which are usually competitive games

I'd like to buy a bluetooth audio receiver, but most of them has a battery inside. Though I'll use it home so I will never unplug them. Could it be dangerous? The batteries are obviously way smaller than smartphones or laptops, but I'm not sure if it could be dangerous to keep it plugged in all the time.
fiery sail
it might reduce battery life (which shouldnt be a concern for you) as most batteries lose capacity faster at 0-20% and 80-100% charge which is why a lot of devices offer batery saving options where they wont charge over 80%
otherwise, as long as u buy from a brand that has to go through international testing and dont get some knock off on wish or sth you'll be fine
even on aliexpress and similar sites you can find good ones, just make sure you buy from someone with a lot of sold products (as those are hardest to fake) and reviews (which are more easy to fake)
twilit marten
I was looking for the Ugreen ones, on Amazon, so it should be fine. 🙂 Yeah I don't mind if it kills the battery, as long as it won't inflate and get on fire. 😅
fiery sail
no product is 100% safe from that, but besides the junk pieces u should be safe and in the very unlikely scenario thats why we have insurances

yea sure

the pro tip is to look for specifically hhkb professional 2's
on a proxy service for japanese used marketplaces
my pick is https://buyee.jp
look on mercari and yahoo auctions jp, they can be really cheap (especially charcoal models)
avoid pro hybrids cause theyre expensive
wheat warren
ok

and avoid kb02/kb01/lite models
because they suck and arent topre
theyre early 90s versions
you CAN get a classic or bt
but honestly a pro 2 is better

keep in mind youll need a micro usb type b cable if the listing doesnt include one
