Ironic for you to say that

[worldly garden]

i have it and i said is fine

and u wont agree

because u hear others say is bad

right

[flat dock]

if you like it then that's fine but it doesn't seem like a good recommendation to me given that there's much better and cheaper switches

take a look in communities that talk about switches

It is a pretty common opinion

[worldly garden]

as i said dont just shit on them because "i heard people said is bad"

I think it's completely fair, I'm trying to give useful recommendations

[lost trail]

After messing around with plates/mounting, ended up staying with the cf plate with top mount

[chrome raft]

why the fuck is the return key on left shift?

[lost trail]

I like the accent color, but they don’t make a shift accent key so I did what I had too

[lost trail]

Ik which key is the shift key, so does it REALLY matter that much??

[flat dock]

Yes you will explode if use the wrong keycaps

Now put an artisan on the e key

[nimble flower]

currently have a great 165 hertz 1440p monitor should i get oled 1440 or a 4k?

i got a 5070 i9-12900k 32gigs ddr5 so i think i should be fine for 4k but oled would be amazing

[worldly garden]

4k oled

[languid lantern]

Been looking for a OLED Main monitor for a long time, coming from a 24" ACER 165hz monitor, mainly play cinematic and scenic games, not much into the twitch shooters as much.

Found this on Amazon yesterday https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0FB46P6F6 has a 25% off coupon putting this at ~561USD shipped.

It seems pretty decent, I don't care much about the speakers (positively or negatively), but if they are there, they are there.

Any thoughts on this? Should I buy it?

[steady jewel]

4k doesnt really matter with computer screens

1440p is much more worth it

for the same money you can get better hz and shit

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/samsung/odyssey-oled-g6-g60sd-s27dg60
friend of mine has one of these, most beautiful monitor ive seen

[sleek bronze]

What's the best current analog keyboard ? Price/quality wise, not forcefully the most expensive

[sleek bronze]

This is absolutely false btw, only someone who never owned a 4K monitor can say that

[steady jewel]

Ive tried em, its a matter of preferance really

I dont see 4k as worth it

Well like a dual res thing could be cool

[sleek bronze]

Well first I disagree, it's absolutely better, but even if it were a matter of preference you then should not say "it doesn't really matter"

[steady jewel]

1440p 240hz / 4k120hz thing or whatever

[sleek bronze]

Also every 4K OLED are 240Hz you know

[steady jewel]

Oh cool

[sleek bronze]

Except ok maybe the dell one linked above but it's not made for gaming so yeah would not recommend this one

[languid lantern]

Why not? 120hz is plenty, and the response time is .03ms should be great for gaming, Freesync Premium Pro as well. Would love your thoughts. As stated, I don't play twitch shooters.

[sleek bronze]

Yes why not, i just don't know the price, is it really cheaper ?

Also, 120hz in oled is hard

[languid lantern]

wdym by hard, I am a monitor noob.

[sleek bronze]

Piel response time is too low it feels stutter

[worldly garden]

cant get wrong with dell

[languid lantern]

Yeah I ordered it, $553 shipped for a 120hz gen 3 4k 32" QD-OLED panel. Seems unbeatable. Also seems the coupon I used for 25% off has been removed . https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FB46P6F6?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

does anyone know what happened to LG 45GX990A?
https://www.lg.com/ca_en/computing/featured-page/ultragear-oled-gaming-monitor-2025/

the non-bendable 950 released a while back, but there's been total silence about this

my desk is not deep enough for the 950's massive curve, but the specs look awesome. totally willing to buy the bendable 990 just to have it flat 95% of the time.

[worldly garden]

Niz what

For neo 65 core plus what should I pick for these

Looking for thockier sound signature

[worldly garden]

for the weight put the one desired for ur aesethics

[warped tinsel]

What about PCB and plate

[worldly garden]

whichever u like

[flat dock]

you'll want the hotswap pcb, either wired or wireless is what two options there are
for plate i'd say PP plate is likely what you want. Carbon fiber and aluminum are stiffer materials and will make it slightly higher pitched

[worldly garden]

since when pp plate thocks lol

[flat dock]

uh since always

it's one of the softest plates

to my knowledge it is one of the thockiest if that's even a thing

but you need the rest of the keyboard to do it

plate and weight does like 2%

[worldly garden]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/999661681032568925/1012697509463863386/Animation.gif

[worldly garden]

U mistook them with pom

[flat dock]

yeah pom is another softer and deeper one

all the plastics basically

somebody should go document the mechanical properties of various common plate mixtures

[sleek bronze]

There are review and other stuff, it's just really expensive and people are more drawn towards the more normal screens

21:9 is cool but isn't really worth twice the price just for that imo, even if I am really interested in this monitor

But having tested a 45" 21:9 and owning a 42" 16:9 once I can say that using this flat isn't a good idea

[full hollow]

Not worried about the flatness or price. I’ve been using the very mildly curved asus designo 38” for several years (and LG34UM95 for years before that)

and the asus is pretty much the max curve my desk can reasonably accomodate

[worldly garden]

Bruh

[warped tinsel]

So the weight doesn't effect sound at all ?

[flat dock]

a really tiny bit AFAIK. You shouldn't choose it based on sound

[worldly garden]

If it bigger it does

[sleek bronze]

Knowing that midly curved would make the green part smaller
But sure, if it's not a problem for you, same for the price, it's a great monitor !

There's an rtings review if you want to

And I believe a monitor unboxed one ?
But in the end it's just another WOLED monitor, they all are similar color wise, and they are all great

Since they don't have any legends "good" is easy to reach

[hazy isle]

cherry

[bitter oar]

price?

[torn aspen]

its around the same but the aqwmg comes out in a month with tandem woled

and true glossy black coating

[bitter oar]

exact...

[bitter oar]

glossy is exciting if you have dim room

but it's a nightmare even if a bit of sun light gets into your room

[torn aspen]

apperantly the new true glossy is also useable in well lit rooms

[bitter oar]

or you have bright lights

[bitter oar]

i prefer semi-matte/semi-glossy woled

[torn aspen]

i love the insane deep blacks in the middle

[bitter oar]

beware it could be cherrypicked

[torn aspen]

wdym

[bitter oar]

that they picked specific scenario under which the other perform poorly

also, they included semi-glossy qd-oled but not semi-glossy woled

[torn aspen]

true but you can clearly see the bright light in the monitor

[torn aspen]

true but their main comparison is between glossy and trueblack glossy

idek why there is a third tbh

[sleek bronze]

QD oled looks bad with a light in front, be it semi glossy or matte so eh

[torn aspen]

yea i dont like qd oled becomes purple ish with light

[bitter oar]

it also reflects a lot

[torn aspen]

my screen is opposite of a windows but i almost always have my blacked out curtains closed

and for my light, the ceiling is so heigh it doesnt reflect

otherwise i just turn it off and get a little desk light

[nimble flower]

hey idk if this is the right chat but i have been needing a new chair so bad and despise gaming chairs being known to be terrible my old one had lots of lumbar support and I would never feel any pain from being on it, so logically i reordered it when it broke and this time it was like sitting on a rock i now understand the hate, dont know what happened to their manufacturing but whatever anyways I was wondering the hype on the steelcase leap v2 chairs I see they're around 400 refurbished or second hand and is it really worth 400??

[magic wolf]

The hype is that steelcase and Herman Miller are widely considered top of the line and boujee offices are filled with them

For good reason too

The leap v2 is comfy but as a tall person you may miss having a headrest while reclining

There's an aftermarket option by Atlas headrest for it tho

[tardy saddle]

I'll prefix this by saying almost NO furniture item is "worth" the asking MSRP (furniture has extremely high profit margins), but if you can snag a refurbished / recycled Herman Miller or some Steelcase models, you'll have a comfortable office chair that lasts for many years.

I upgraded from a $350 CAD Tempur Pedic Staples office chair (whose foam was already deteriorating) only ~3 years after purchase) to a Herman Miller Mirra 2 when my last employer offered one to all employees 18 months into sending us to work from home during the COVID pandemic. Sure, I got mine for free, but even if it had only been a temporary thing, I'd have bought a refurbished model for ~$700 CAD myself now that I've tried one.

i don't think the keycaps is compatible with the k689 since redragon use there own custom switches

[rich meteor]

Now for the serious answears?

[fiery sail]

they all do pretty much the same thing and support plenty of weight.
its just the aesthetics that are actually different and what type of desk they sell with it.
i would personally buy the legs and the table seperately. that way you dont get cheap mashed wood or plastic, but you can actually get a solid wood table and oil or paint it yourself whilst saving money and making it more personal and to your liking.

if thats too much effort you have the option to buy in whole, but its really not that difficult, just gotta wait 1-3 days for paint/oil to dry depending on how many layers you do

desks are one of the easiest furniture to build yourself and also often where you save a lot of money whilst gaining more quality.
especially when you already got the legs and would otherwise buy the table overpriced from the leg seller

[rich meteor]

The lifting legs alone cost as much as some of the complete tables

[rich meteor]

Bro i went to trade school for furniture carpentry before. Ive made every posible furniture you can think off. But dont have the time nor will to do that. I also live downtown in a major city in my country, i dont have the space to build it if i had the time to do so

If not id just make a stained oak table topp and be done with it

At this point im just gonna default to ikea beacuse its a trusted retailer with a deacent look

[fiery sail]

then pretty much 95% of it is just looks and pricing

[fiery sail]

and uncomplicated returns

[rich meteor]

The ikea black/walnutt MITTZON desk looks fine. Im just not a big fan of the legs

And ive found other alternatives for less, but the table top dosent look as good

I found one thats realy cheap and looks good. But it dubbles in price from the 1200x600 - 1400×700 size

The others are from random online retailers ive never heard off. And Im not surere i trust them. Even if trust pilot says theyre ok

[fiery sail]

if you want, especially since you have the skill, you can later on disguise the legs quite well or build extra shleves or a PC stand and stuff that is not hard to do and can look really dope /give extra storage space

so i would go for tabletop over legs

[rich meteor]

Also they have weird seams on the table top (probebly one fo the ways they keep prising doen

[fiery sail]

ikea will most likely have similar seams

[rich meteor]

At that point id rather buy good looking legs and find a surpluss counter top. But again. Its the work.

[rich meteor]

Nah these shits are real bad

Like chinese garbage bad

[fiery sail]

also you could get way more depth with a custom top

i got 2.20x1m

and i would never go with less than 90cm in my life again

depth

[rich meteor]

60 is more then enough. I dont have that much on my desk to begin with

[fiery sail]

when i see 1.60x70 i dont even know how you fit all your stuff up there
i have 2 monitors and i feel like my desk is too small to get a third, would be completely crowded, my water would be in the way of 1 of them and stuff

[rich meteor]

Monitor stand you clamp oktober the table

Onto*

Fuck monitor feet. They taket un nessairy space

I just need my keyboard an mouse on my desk

[fiery sail]

for my use monitor stands wouldnt change anything tbf, unless i put the monitor way up where its uncomfortable, my water bottle would still be in front of the monitor no matter if its on a stand or feet

but ppl use their setups way differently

(and even for me i a thrid would be overkill)

[rich meteor]

I like to lean back in my chair witch automaticly makes me look higher up

I also like to have my desk low. So im just lounging by my desk. I need to have my monitor deacently high up to keep my neck straight

Type shit

Not this extreme tho

[fiery sail]

love how we use it basically the exact opposite way xD

[rich meteor]

Mines ergonomic af

[fiery sail]

i have like the most healthy + nerdy 90° posture when sitting, i hate leaning back

and at night i turn my monitor 90° so i can fall asleep to videos or movies

[rich meteor]

Looking down isent good for your neck

[fiery sail]

how much are you wanting to spend??

and does it need to be prebuild or are just barebones (so NO keycaps and or switches)

what form factor

60 65 tkl or what

and u want prebuild or a barebone kit then u buy switch and keycaps then build it urself

and youre trying to go for a deeper sound right?

[boreal rivet]

Centered legends look like shit on cherry profile tho

[abstract umbra]

Open to anything between a 65 and a tkl. A normal person layout 😂

And prebuikt preferred. But I won't say no to a good deal on a barebone

[open wave]

you can get a luminkey65

i think they got discount for blackfriuday as well

https://www.luminkey.com/products/luminkey65-hot-swappable-custom-mechanical-keyboard-ano-black?srsltid=AfmBOooPM-6VCQBM14dg_nuWZLxTe-PI8T7h1Jg8TXWaoqqhPdSfztsh

165 bucks for a prebuilt

https://www.luminkey.com/products/luminkey80-80-custom-mechanical-keyboard?variant=46912069173524

or you can get the tkl

but for tkl if u want the pre built gonna be 239usd， 189 for the barebones but id say get the prebuilt its a better value

shipping is oddly cheap

10 bucks only

but that may differ for you i just used a random location from google as a reference

And i think if u sign up u can claim extra discount coupon for blackfriday as well

2ft wide keyboard

[crisp patrol]

it's called a fullsize actually

[young spoke]

that’s literally like 5-6 rows wider then a full size

[wispy ice]

there are infintely better options tbh

like

just getting a membrane from yo office

[earnest agate]

Does anyone know where the Mystic Light USB Controller is located at on the MSI motherboards? I want to remove it

I took my motherboard apart all of the heatsinks etc, but didn't see anything obvious

[crisp patrol]

it's like one row wider lol

[boreal rivet]

Too bad the keyboard itself is lowkey mid 🥹

[young spoke]

no?

number 1 there’s literally 4 extra rows of keys

and number 2 the edges of the keyboard are literally like 2 rows thick

[fervent breach]

i wish it was topre 😭

[glossy mica]

It’s 3-3.5 wider

[late zinc]

No it's basically exactly the width of full-size... Just looks weird because of the layout and lack of top row

Imagine the numpad is where the arrows and stuff are, then the right bit is the normal numpad

[glossy mica]

It’s 1u wider bc the main cluster is a 65, it’s 1u wider on the nav cluster, and the side bezels are 0.5-0.75u bigger than a normal full size

[woeful herald]

Is this a good/bad keyboard? https://a.co/d/9Kbj9uP

I’m trying to find a good gaming keyboard for under 70 USD / 100 CAD

[wise night]

should i get razer cobra or is there a better budget mouse

[tame thistle]

I finally got myself a mechanical keyboard
Snagged it off Marketplace for an awesome deal

[timber bay]

Anyone think a company will release a monitor like this but instead of the second mode being 1080p it'll be 1440p?

Would love to play triple a games in 4K and FPS games at 360hz in 1440p

[flat dock]

You can't split 4k into 1440p evenly (without dividing pixels into fractions) so I'd guess no

[timber bay]

Rip

Guess I'll go with a regular OLED 1440p 360hz when that comes out

[void geyser]

very nice

[tame thistle]

The only issue is that the WASD keys occasionally won't register. So I'll prolly switch out the switches for the red switches while I'm replacing those

Anyone has any recommendations on a UGREEN hub/dock that I can connect all my peripherals to (webcam, keyboard, mouse, speakers, wireless dongle, mic) and I can connect said hub/dock into my desktop PC via USB/USB-C and then if I want to I can disconnect it and connect it to my macbook and it switch everything over.. there is some really expensive docks/hubs but also some cheap ones I am not sure which is a good option?

[tame thistle]

Okay, update:

I found sum red switches from an old 3D-printed fidget toy I bought last year. And when I went to supposedly replace the defective switches on my keyboard, it turns out that the switches are not hot-swappable. So I'll prolly have to go to a repair shop to switch out the switches from the arrow keys in place of the red ones, then have the existing blue switches that were formerly for the arrow keys replacing the defective WASD ones

[young spoke]

that’s probably more expensive then buying a new keyboard

[jovial coral]

madlions is incredible my dude

[woeful herald]

Madlions?

[jovial coral]

their price is so low because it's a clone and they get made at cost. You can find them cheaper on the official website though

thats the keyboard you posted lol

[woeful herald]

Oh lol

I read some reviews saying it’s bad because you can’t remove the keycaps

[jovial coral]

here's mine, it was $40

[woeful herald]

Can you remove the keycaps?

[jovial coral]

Yessir

[woeful herald]

Which model is it??

[jovial coral]

Nano 68 pro I think? It's not on sale anymore but here is the official site

https://f.gg/collections/keyboards

I have a lot of keyboards that cost way too much, somehow this is my favourite

[woeful herald]

Where are you from

[jovial coral]

Canada 🙂

[woeful herald]

Samee

[jovial coral]

there's some import but it's small

LTT is sleeping on these tbh, maybe they don't want the legal trouble from clone keyboards

[woeful herald]

Which switches did you get

[jovial coral]

can't remember, got it last year but they are pink coloured if that helps

[woeful herald]

Switches are just for aesthetics, right?

[jovial coral]

they have different spring strength and sound a little different

[woeful herald]

Hmmm

[misty juniper]

keycaps are for aesthetics

[jovial coral]

1 sec ill get you a diagram

[woeful herald]

Yeah idk which one to get but I’d love a white keyboard

[woeful herald]

I’m not a nerd so I don’t know what noticeable difference those would make lol

[jovial coral]

if you play fps you want low trigger force and smaller travel

harder to type tho

[woeful herald]

I’m tryna type fast but also play well

[jovial coral]

3.8mm travel is better then, maybe the peridot or silver esports

[woeful herald]

I’ve only got these

[woeful herald]

Why is this?

[jovial coral]

Rip lol, sold out T.T

[woeful herald]

I remember being at a friend’s place and it was really hard to type on his keyboard

[jovial coral]

its easy to make mistakes with very sensitive keys

[woeful herald]

The keyboard felt weird idk

[woeful herald]

No it ain’t

Are those good switches?

[jovial coral]

out of the ones available I think those are the most 'conventional' feeling

[woeful herald]

Yeah I used to have a Razer Ornata V2

How long did it take to arrive

[jovial coral]

ah I had one of those, these will be linear so no clicky typing

foreveerrr, like weeks

[woeful herald]

Damn

How many

Ig Amazon with Prime is better then

[jovial coral]

this was a couple years ago I dunno, amazon will be faster for sure

[woeful herald]

Do you use IEMs

@jovial coral

[jovial coral]

yea I had a bunch, more of a headphone guy tho

my fav was xenns top

[woeful herald]

I’m deciding between IEMs and headphones

IEMs seem better for esports gaming because you can hear footsteps better

[jovial coral]

they are yea, depends if you're cool with plugging your ears for hours at a time

whats ur budget?

[woeful herald]

Christmas 💀

[jovial coral]

lol! fair enough

[woeful herald]

I’m wishing for stuff for Christmas

So like 70 cad maybe

[jovial coral]

70 cad headphones are not very good, I'd go with iems

[woeful herald]

I used to have 200 CAD ones but they’re gone

Headphones

Are IEMs uncomfortable to wear for hours?

[jovial coral]

they were comfortable at first, over time I ended up selling them as my ears started to hurt

[woeful herald]

How does that work

[jovial coral]

if you use big ones they start to mess with your ear canal, the cheaper stuff is a lot more comfortable

smaller

check out the simgot ew200 on amazon (the microphone sucks skip that)

[woeful herald]

I was planning to get a standalone microphone anyway

[jovial coral]

this is the way

[woeful herald]

I feel like as someone who has had a lot of tinnitus problems, headphones are the way to go

[jovial coral]

yea definitely, tough on a budget though

[woeful herald]

Idk what the budget is lol

No strict one

[jovial coral]

here's a couple deals going on right now

[tame thistle]

Aaaand the red switch don't fit 🥲

Oh well. I'm just replacing the apostrophe switch anyway (Thank you for your sacrifice Pause key switch)

[young spoke]

you could probably put the red switch in if you cut the plastic legs off

that’s a normal 3 pin socket

[stark raft]

I wonder if someday they will do a budget keyboard showing on the channel. They have come a long way and pretty sure with availability to mod them you can really increase the quality

Personally a no for me, much nicer aifei sets for the same price

[torn aspen]

Ngl i never bought a keycap set, dont really know where to look

[void geyser]

Look for aifei on aliexpress

Theyre usually 20€ or less

[misty juniper]

does a gaming mouse have an expected lifespan, and what is it?

[mental coyote]

anyone know the best gaming monitor thats 1440p over 280 hz and preferably tandem oled

[bitter oar]

Depends if you take care of them

If you frequently spill liquids on stuff, a lot of dirt, have a matte glass pad, smash things pretty sure it won't last long

If you do expect like 10 year lifespan without a battery and 5 year lifespan with a battery

[tame thistle]

No, it's the contact points on the switches that are too small for the holes on the PCB

[young spoke]

ahh

your probably fucked then yeah

[tame thistle]

I'll find Otemu switches for it then 🙃

[flat dock]

what kind of switch are you looking for
3-pin or plate mount is the term you need to look for, there's plenty outside of outemu as well

[tame thistle]

2 pin. And the contact points on the keyboard PCB are smol

[flat dock]

there's no such thing as 2 pin

3 pin has the stem + 2 metal pins

arent they all small

[tame thistle]

Ouh

I mean, that specific RedDragon keyboard has a smaller contact point size

Cuz when I tried the red switches, it wouldn't go all the way in

[void geyser]

ok

[void geyser]

that keyboard uses some bastardized version of millmax

I have workedon something similar

the only thing that would work are big OEM brands like cherry, oetemu and gateron

anything specific like HMX, BSUN etc it would just bit a smidge too big

I'm also fairly certain that most WS works on it as well

[bitter oar]

why

[void geyser]

idk

people seem to say that it's so bad quality etx

I just think they require abit more finesse to build'

I think they're pretty cool

also this

some QC issue

[bitter oar]

i have no idea what’s wrong with their switches expect when you behave poorly to the pins and resocket them multiple times improperly

[void geyser]

I don't like morandis

they're acc ass

[bitter oar]

fair

[void geyser]

basically it's an enthusiast board that enthusiast doesn't like

specially on the western market

[bitter oar]

why

[void geyser]

spring ping on them are horrible

They're also quite expensive

[bitter oar]

oh yeah, i had a few pingy morandis

[void geyser]

some batches are alright

[bitter oar]

but most of mine were “normal”

like 95-98%

[void geyser]

I do use WS jades right now though

which are basically morandis

[bitter oar]

2% of them what i’d say audible if i’m not looking for it, 3% audible if i’m looking for the spring ping

[void geyser]

butwith metal insert and somehow more expensive

besides that

I quite like WS stuff

but I feel they rush alot of stuff

[bitter oar]

this is one of the worst fails i’ve seen ngl

[void geyser]

yeah inaccurate colours vs actual product

[bitter oar]

grrrrr

i was like wat put screen under a purple/pink tinted plastic?

[void geyser]

pranked

but yeah

I'm not a big fan of their mamoth75 either

another rushed project

[bitter oar]

i’ve just bought their switches and was happy with them

not their boards tho

[void geyser]

yeah I recommend their switches

they're quite good

I'm happy with the freya

that's all i'm going to say

[bitter oar]

that’s what matters, if you think it’s good in it’s niche when you had a lot of decent-high quality keyboards then it’s probably is solid

[void geyser]

it's definitely not worth it's price though I won't lie

[bitter oar]

i mean… is a $500 keyboard made from brass or something more expensive at higher price worth it as well?

people that wear closed back headphones probably won’t notice if it’s a cheaper metal like aluminum or brass

[void geyser]

it's not about the material or anything, I just think for the acoustics that it gives out / in general, there's other boards that kinda does better

example cycle 8/ 7 boards

I like it more for the fact that it's its own thing if that makes sense

there's a shit ton of TKL, 60, 65 and more out there

but nothing quite like a 68% with XT Collumn, it's unique

[bitter oar]

most people prob just care about the stabilizers and smoothness of the keys so they’re not choppy

[void geyser]

pareto

80% of the result comes from 20% of effort

you can make a 30$ board sounds good, however it's the 20% from 100% that's hard to achieve

meanwhile, enthusiast keyboards, it's going to have to be a really nice board, good ano, good plates, good PCB good accoustics

[bitter oar]

i just don’t like elitism in the kb communities in general… you ask for a $30 kb, they rec $100, when you ask about something they don’t like they’re like sure go on buy the slop

[void geyser]

yeah I understand, and I'm on the same camp

I hate it as well, since you're essentially making it more daunting than it needs to be

one can be happy with 30$ board, for a long time, I was that

I had a an ajazz ak873

bought switches, bought keycaps

swapped it around

had a good time

then I started to replace my board, I wanted to try ergo alice like layout, realized I don't like my keycap profile, started getting SA, started getting more caps, more switches, got bored of the Alice ergo like, bought an actual alice, realized that the alice I've gotten is quite limiting, got another alice

so on and so forth

[bitter oar]

my happiest time was probably when i put pe foam inside gmmk2 + and it turned out to be better than expected… until one of the sockets broke because glorious had to use some really lame sockets

[void geyser]

I think people need to experience what budget stuff feels like so that they can appreciate the higher more

[void geyser]

mine was being happy that stock keyboards are finally no longer crap

you can get a quite capable and decent board for 30$

for the longest time, you weren't able to

[bitter oar]

redragon

eeeee

[void geyser]

nah they're crap

[bitter oar]

yes

[void geyser]

basically a more well presented chinese board

the stabilizers were rattly, reverbs like a cathedral hall, weren't hotswap

[bitter oar]

still many flaws, worse than western board at $60

in terms of everything

[void geyser]

I think my first board was pretty good for its time

I really like that board

[bitter oar]

ajazz was solid y

[void geyser]

I got Gigabyte osmium

no Ajazz was like my 5th + keyboard

[bitter oar]

don’t know that

[void geyser]

my first proper custom was a gigabyte osmium back in 2013

[void geyser]

I had one of these

it was soooooo good

[bitter oar]

well, my first proper kb was i think a bloody keyboard

[void geyser]

like genuinely good

So expensive though

then i got like cheap clones in 2016

then more and more

but I stuck back to that board

and stayed with it for a long time until like 2022 when I found it abit too big for my setup

so got a magic force 68

modded the shit out of it

then got an rk67

[bitter oar]

hollow, really cheap keycaps

like that was the stuff people bought back then

[void geyser]

yep

because that's the only thing around

but after covid, it really expldoed

though I still think some switches are irrelevant now adays

like all zeal switche

[bitter oar]

“red” switches

people used that instead for referring a linear switch

you don’t want a generic red switch now

well, maybe if you get them for like 2 cents a switch or free

in your region

[bitter oar]

holy pandas and all the clones

from different western brands

ironically the chinese clones aren’t all that bad still

because they cheap

but yeah… not good nor value most likely

[flat dock]

"holy panda" is just normal tactile today

[latent bolt]

okay so I want a new keyboard;
Mainly used for gaming;
Has to have the numberpad/some form of backlighting
can be wired/wireless
Available for an australian, under 120 AUD
and has to be mechanical/sound nice.
(would prefer it to be hot swappable too)

I have a very vague idea of what to look for, and I'd much prefer if it was a prebuilt keyboard
If I could have some pointers in the right direction, or some links, I'd be very appreciative!!

[main narwhal]

switchkeys carries some cheaper stuff

i think they ship from victoria

https://www.switchkeys.com.au/products/yunzii-yz98-mechanical-gaming-keyboard

[latent bolt]

it looks nice (and probably sounds good too)
a little bit pricy though 😔

[latent bolt]

hmmmmm i might get a good deal on a GMMK2.
looking at it for 52~ usd rn
(about 80 aud)

[latent bolt]

okay got it 👍

[fervent breach]

it’s sad not everyone is schizo passionate about keyboards

[latent bolt]

😭

I’d add some foam, some tape and maybe lube the stabs and snip them (as well as switching switches)
But that’s probably the max I wanna do

I don’t wanna build it from scratch
I don’t wanna lube every single switch lmao

[fervent breach]

u should get a vintage topre

[latent bolt]

no idea what that is

[fervent breach]

vintage = old keyboard

topre = keyboard with switches manufactured by topre

[latent bolt]

Okay well I got that part

[latent bolt]

They good?

[fervent breach]

some people like me swear by them and have formed a cult around them

some others think they’re overrated

they are pretty expensive and hard to buy depending on the board

[latent bolt]

[fervent breach]

i was being mostly ironic when i told u to buy a vintage topre is the moral of the story

[latent bolt]

I figured

[fervent breach]

it’s a fun rabbit hole if you want to go down it

[latent bolt]

Keyboards are kinda interesting
I just don’t know if I care that much about them to spend that much

But messing around with them is fun

Luckily my new ones pretty modular by the looks sooo, nothing stopping me from doing more down the track

[fervent breach]

modern mech is pretty customisable

[boreal rivet]

just don't bother

buy something that works for you and look at other things

hobby is boring as hell nowadays

[fiery sail]

i'd second that.
unless disassembling and reassembling keyboards and switching stuff around to change them and have a different experience aevery few days or weeks fascinates you, most i'd do is buy a switch tester to know what you like and go from there

[void geyser]

ewaste?

[fervent breach]

one man’s ewaste is another’s grail

like my stupid fucking ewaste nissho kb106de

god i hate that thing

i really should sell it

this is a quote reasonable price for one so maybe i should

[terse pine]

hola gamers. between Pulsar X2H Mini and Razer Viper V3 Pro, which one should I go to? I mostly play FPS games

[umbral osprey]

As someone who has never experienced a QD-OLED screen, sell me on an Alienware monitor.

I have a 4k 60 Hz monitor which is basically a TV

And what is the difference between different technology generations?

[heady creek]

Can I get some help picking a good oled 360 or 240 hz 1440p monitor. I have been looking at some different once and now with black friday the prices seem a lot more reasonable. Any help is appreciated.

Rn I have a 1080p 280hz monitor and I think its time for a upgrade

[chrome raft]

sugma

[chrome raft]

yeah you ain't selling for that.

Hello everyone, i am looking for help, im am trying to find a Mouse, Headset and RGB Keyboard (one where its not solid block so each key has its own rgb light)

I found a mouse and head set on sale for £20 each

Hello, I need some help checking whether a mouse software is safe or not.

I’m using a VortexSeries ONI R1 mouse, and the official website (vortexseries.net) provides an .exe software for configuration. However, when I scanned it on VirusTotal, it showed some suspicious behavior (dropper-like flags, anti-debug, unusual section structure, etc.). The file is also unsigned and looks a bit strange for a simple mouse utility.

Has anyone used this mouse or analyzed the software before?
Is this application actually safe to run, or should I avoid it?

Any input or analysis would be greatly appreciated.

[astral breach]

Hey can anyone help me with this? I'm looking for a low profile mechanical keyboard for less than £30 with a British layout, with ideally brown switches. I've looked everywhere for one and couldn't find any so I'm just asking incase anyone does know one, thanks!

[void geyser]

you won't find an LP mechanical keyboard with ISO for under that price

LP is already niche,
