fiery sail
#

so at least for german pricing i know how to get the most value out of limited budgets and what features people actuallly enjoy and should pay for and what not

errant epoch
#

there was also another 100hz my friend got

#

let me see if i can find it

fiery sail
#

oh yikes

#

the other one is much better

#

and cheaper

errant epoch
#

is this the one?

fiery sail
#

this one

errant epoch
#

are these not the same?

#

nvm one is 25 inch

fiery sail
#

one is VA the other IPS

errant epoch
#

ahh makes sense

fiery sail
#

and again, here because its low end monitors, without having a review that tested it for ghosting and stuff i cant recommend the VA

#

but 1ms advertised response time IPS are fine in >99%

#

while 1ms VA are fine in like >90%

errant epoch
#

alr so

fiery sail
#

and i dont want u to have a 5-10% chance of finding a landmine

errant epoch
#

the hiarchy of recommendation goes like this
mini led 1440p
100hz 1080p that you linked
1440p VA
1440p Ips right

fiery sail
#
  1. dont buy a monitor
  2. linked 100Hz
  3. miniLED
    afterwards i cant recommend anything
errant epoch
#

nah i really think this one is for an upgrade, its brightness is really low

fiery sail
#

i'd also say 1 and 2 are almost tied

#

do these websites have price alarms?

#

liek can u get an email or sth if a product falls below a certain price

#

or even an entire category of products?

errant epoch
#

Max brightness compared to some old ipad

#

This is on white screen

#

So im probs gonna get the 100hz one

fiery sail
#

wait that is the monitor trying to display white?

errant epoch
#

mhm

#

the top doesnt look that dark

#

its viewing angle

#

so its not the top backlight being dead

fiery sail
#

you should be eligible for pain and suffering compensation by samsung

#

ngl

errant epoch
#

i mean its from 2008

fiery sail
#

my IPS is fro mthe same era

fiery sail
#

i had better TVs and monitors when they used to be thicker than wide

errant epoch
#

but i have been daily driving it for what

#

17 years?

#

i used to have it overclocked

#

to 75 hz

#

What happens if I try to push it to 75hz these days

fiery sail
#

F

errant epoch
#

i pretty much got a decent pc in 2008 and it was my ride or die till 2023

#

gt 9600 (upgraded to gtx 460 in 2022) q8200 4gb ddr2 800mhz and this monitor

fiery sail
#

and now u got a 6800

#

got an amazign ride behind u

errant epoch
#

my mouse is from 2017 and its paint broke down into brown smudge, and my keyboard is one i got 13 usd at half off + free cpu

#

free mouse

#

not cpu

fiery sail
#

had the same with my mouse for a few years until my LMB broke on it

errant epoch
#

uk pound store special

fiery sail
#

went from no case, 970 and broken mouse and 60HZ basic monitor to miniLED 1440p, 4070 and fresh peripherals

#

thinking abotu going 4k OLED+ 5080 next year

errant epoch
#

nicee

#

im planning on keeping this pc for a while

fiery sail
#

same, besides GPU and monitor

errant epoch
#

it all depends on when i can go to the UK to get a new pc

#

2 yrs from now its the earliest

#

its probably going to be like 4-5

#

it was between an rtx 2060 super or the 6800

fiery sail
#

on 1080 ur fine for 5 years on that 6800

#

got a great setup for that

errant epoch
#

hmm

#

what if i get a 7900xtx

fiery sail
#

no reason

errant epoch
#

there is someone selling a used one rn

fiery sail
#

and not the best value

#

how much?

errant epoch
#

500 eur

fiery sail
#

i mean

if u get a 1440p mini LED alongside it

#

it would be amazing

errant epoch
#

ngl i would get the mini led

fiery sail
#

y

errant epoch
#

but i really dont like the waranty on that retailer

fiery sail
#

would be terrible to hold back what the xtx can show

#

with a bad monitor

fiery sail
lusty forge
#

Im looking for a good budget mouse

#

Any recommendations?

#

For my laptop

errant epoch
#

i had a fridge from the same shop (they sell that aswell) and they returned my fridge from waranty even more broken (now niether the freezer nor main compartment was working instead of just freezer) and when i tried to return it again they denied the claim

errant epoch
#

i worded this like ass holy

#

a build i made for my friends little brother

fiery sail
#

sounds like a plan, although i would rather get a cheap 1440p or the 1080 and therefor u can retire 1 or both of the old monitors when you eventually get the miniLED

#

and have 2 fresh monitors

fiery sail
errant epoch
#

my second monitor is at a friend of mine rn

#

but its an absolutely tiny monitor i got from work when they wanted to throw it away

#

it was used as a linux terminal screen for the work nas

#

wait @fiery sail what if i get a 1440p monitor now, and demote it to a second monitor later on? im planning on having 3 monitors now either way, so once i get the new pc i can demote it

#

to a secondary

fiery sail
#

shouldnt cost u more than 7-8k

errant epoch
#

any specific one you recommend?

#

or any guidelines for what to look for?

fiery sail
#

cheapest IPS 100Hz (tbh 60/75 would be fine if its just for a few motnhs until u get miniLED)

#

but tbh doesnt really make a difference if 2nd monitor is 1080p or 1440p

fiery sail
#

and technically its more prixels to handle for your 7900xtx if u even get it

#

unless u can hook up the alt monitors to the rx 570

#

6800 i would definitely sell

#

or return if possible

errant epoch
#

i gave the 570 to a friend

#

sold*

fiery sail
#

does ur mobo even have the pcie slots for 2 cards?

#

no

#

well

errant epoch
#

i have a pcie 1x to 16x adapter

#

i knew someone who had a mining setup

fiery sail
#

i dont even know if pcie x1 is enough for discord and stuff xD

errant epoch
#

idk

#

i defo have stuff to think about now

fiery sail
#

1 monitor might just be ok

#

but even with that people are running into issues with pcie x1

#

i mean tbf the best would be if you could just return the cpu and mobo imo

errant epoch
#

nah

fiery sail
#

sad

#

would have been a nice performance and future upgradeability improvemnt

#

and OC

#

which is huge

errant epoch
#

I got it at a sale

#

The i5 12400f was 3000

#

50% off

fiery sail
#

sounds horrible

#

how much u pay for the 3500x, 3600 and 5500/5600?

#

i can find the 3500X for 2800 rn

#

which is just an incredibly better value

fiery sail
#

like if there is any chance of you returnign that cpu mobo combo we could get u sth much muc hbetter for the same price

#

that u can later just slap a 5700x3d and be golden for soooo many years, especially compared to the 12400f with no real upgrade possibilities at all

errant epoch
fiery sail
#

even then

#

better cpu

#

better resell value

#

OC

errant epoch
#

the 3500x is way worse

fiery sail
#

and probably 4 ram slots

#

while cheaper

errant epoch
#

i alr have 32 gb of ram

#

I would be doing a downgrade for no reason, just to get a better upgrade path?

noble schooner
#

obv it's way slower

errant epoch
#

i have recommended a friend of mine to get a zen 2 cpu (3600x) but thats because he was an amd ride or die with am3

noble schooner
#

I mean not with that motherboard but you get the idea

fiery sail
#

and now u look at price and performance of 12700k vs 5700x3d

noble schooner
#

if he wants intel let him have it

fiery sail
#

and that you can put a 5700x3d in a b450 board with 0 issues

noble schooner
#

depends on which b450 board

#

and availability for those is kinda meh in some regions

errant epoch
#

the 12700k is cheaper

noble schooner
#

and you get more cores if you want/need it

errant epoch
#

also note that i live in macedonia

#

so there are not as many shops

also i dont want it so sound a lot

honestly idk how to buy stuff in other markets because prices are all different

oh in that case maybe the HE buzzword is important

just because it being HE is an attractive feature

Chances are you won't notice the latency difference between that and a good mechanical keyboard unless playing at a super high competitive level

lost dock

so basicaly its the same?

depending on the preferences

imo HE is a tax for a feature thats popular but doesn't really improve much

Any favorites here in terms of wrist rests? Thought it might be time for me to get one as a reward for hitting 80wpm touch typing

Looking at getting a glorious TKL in golden oak, it seems like that one gets thrown around a lot as a recommendation

worldly garden

u buying a glorious board ?

fierce mango
#

Nah, Im using a RK75 at the moment

#

Planning to eventually get a keychron v1

worldly garden
#

get a bridge75 or something

It looks pretty enticing, but atm Im mostly just waiting on this keeb to die before I upgrade - Im mostly talking about wrist wrests, looking for a wooden one I could order on amazon so I get it tomorrow or the day after

selling 0.1 dollars worth of woods as 32$

get the cheapest option u could find

True lmao

i rec u look in aliexpress or etsy

Yeah nvm etsy literally sells fuckin resin ones for less than that shit 😂

just giving u options man

some people rely on those wrist rest

#

im not and dont think i will ever need one

Seriously though thanks, etsy looks like it has way better deals at the very first glance

Found a nice peruvian walnut wrist rest that would cost a good amount in material, majority in labor with free shipping, shape seems better than the "glorious" one considering the edge isnt quite literally straight edge sharp at a 45 degree angle

fierce mango
#

Looking at that Amazon one, there's reviews with pictures that clearly show its like a sheet of extremely thin, easy to scratch off wood on top of some mystery Chinesium so it was a good call to not go with it

#

For the same price this is one of the best kinds of wood I've ever known (softer than standard black walnut and prettier in its raw form, still extremely durable), and basically a shaped board of it

worldly garden

buy a geon wrist rest if u have guts

hey guys. i have been debating whether to get the steelseries Qck hard mousepad or the Logitech G440. I use 200 DPI, 6/11 windows sens and a razer moouse. if anyone can help thx

after a year

then i'll just get the steelseries one

bitter oar
#

mb it was mine not friend's, decomposed under my wrists/hands*

bitter oar
#

what's the price?

#

there are dozen of brands that focus on mouse pads and they will likely give you better desk mats than what the gaming brands, also they're mostly all produced in china

#

the higher quality ones (but also expensive) are made in japan, etc.

Buy a sexy etsy mousepad

the steelseries one is around 30 pound

I have an rk84 with gateron yellows but i want tactile switches put in. what cheap switches do people reccomend >=20 pounds i found knockoff holy pandas on aliexpress for cheap or theres akko cs lavender purple switches.

flat dock
bitter oar
#

but my suggestion could be outdated

#

so... i suggest doing research

karmic solstice
# flat dock What kind of sound and feel are you looking for

i have some spare brown switches from an older RK84 i returned and i really prefer the feel of the "rk tactile switches" but i prefer a more smooth and creamy ish sound. If you know the switches i mentions i guess that would describe what i like kind of but these are based of many sound tests ive listened to from both and i heard knockoff pandas sound close

bitter oar
#

i can confidently tho say they're better than what razer, steelseries or logi offrers

flat dock
karmic solstice
flat dock
#

Maybe its just another MX brown clone

bitter oar
karmic solstice
flat dock
#

No point buying knockoff holy pandas when there's like 50 thousand tactile switches that feel the same but actually good

#

that's kinda the standard bump now I feel

bitter oar
#

ktt, ttc, gateron have newer tactile switches with better pre-lube job

#

etc

karmic solstice
bitter oar
#

holy pandas are meh anyways nowadays

#

they were decent expensive switch few years ago

#

and the knock offs were about a year worth behind with the quality at the time

#

so you'd get like 3-4 year old switch quality

karmic solstice
flat dock
#

sound tests kinda useless if you don't know much about switches because you don't have much of a reference to compare to

karmic solstice
flat dock
#

I had something in my head but I forgot it

karmic solstice
bitter oar
#

i believe there are some youtubers/reviewers that measure frequency response of switches but they're less common

#

there is this youtuber that compared like 50 linear, 50 tactile switches side by side

flat dock

that's something I've been dreaming of

it sounds like they have that tiny bump like mx browns

yeah

$41 on that aliexpress link though so maybe not too much regret

moreso they probably get overshadowed by stuff like gateron longjing or 5000 mx brown clones

insulate it with some electrical tape so they don't short and possibly start a fire

karmic solstice

theyre rgbw strips why does the strip flicker fast (barely noticeable) when i use the white channel only

bitter oar

ill find some tape later lol

5v doesn't matter

#

it's the resistance that matters more in this case

1.5v battery can cause fire

when you short the + and -

karmic solstice
#

alr ill do that ill go get electrical tape but what aboutnthe flicker

bitter oar
#

if you don't believe me nor any other video just take an alkaline battery and short the ends, it will rapidly heat up (and possibly damage the battery, so i would advise agaisnt that)

if you have configured low duty cycles percentage and low frequency it will flicker

i'm just saying there is always a risk

out of the 100 million of various wireless keyboard some of them like thousand may catch fire

but that's not useful information

some companies put less protections and worse quality batteries

but with all phones its possible

i'm not exactly sure, but you can watch like mrwhosetheboss and other who mentioned the issue

is it not useful to point that out as being a risk when you buy Samsung even though its technically possible with an iPhone as well

Cant directly provide the source now ?

Then is just a hot take

Most battery malfunction these days are user behavior

#

Dont try to watxh reels when u are charging and u will be sage

flat dock
#

other keyboards being badly made and causing fires shouldn't preclude you from still pointing out the known ones that are badly made and dangerous

bitter oar
#

you increase the chance greatly when you're doing these: use phone at max which also discharges the battery faster thus generates more heat, put it inside a car that hit on sun or expose the phone to just sun, and charge the phone at the same time

worldly garden

Charging vapes explodes frequently

U could argue with that

that's a defect

best i've come to is someone saying the pcb runs so hot it burns the pcbs down, but no actual proof (i have now)*

#

i'm not saying it does not or didn't happen but it is a bit concerning when whole channels go rampant about it

#

i also see people say it happens to every unit if you wait long enough and that there are no ambient variances to it, that it will happen sooner or later

#

well, it didn't happen to my units

#

i don't even know what to look for (which part of the pcb heats up) because none of the people that spread aula f75 catching fire mention it

those are kinda the go-to budget linear

@flat dock would using 2 different tactile swithces on one keyboard be a bad idea or not placed in an organised way such as one switch for letters etc i found 8 pounds for 45 akko switch deal on aliexpress but can only do one of each "style"

it may be weird when your alphas dont feel the same as the f12 key for example

Hey all, im not much of a keyboard junkie, but my fiancé is looking for an upgrade, she has a white build and wants to incorporate some green keycaps, to match the forest theme ( see picture) I looked around and didn't really find to much. She wants a white board with quiet and smooth switches and caps and RGB to match the theme. Not trying to break the bank, but am willing to splurge in the 200 to 300 range for a good board. Any recommendations or places to get the components for a build?

specifically for a gaming/general desktop computer

i tried it out in game (horizon zero dawn) and certainly it looks more lifelike the contrasts are deeper lamps look like theyre lighting up etc

#

but then all the ui elements and the whole windows desktop gets all desaturated and washed out

is that because my monitor craps out trying to convert an sdr signal to hdr? because like .. in sdr mode the color certainly is there..
