[soft bone]

samsung just has horrible qc but amazing panels

[rigid storm]

But idk it should be an easy fix unless we have to replace the video board

[rigid storm]

Yea

[soft bone]

Retail warranty is far superior to manufacturer warranty

[rigid storm]

My dad said I gotta wait till I get the monitor on Christmas until we can fix it tho 😭

[soft bone]

and most manufacturer warranties are 1 year

[rigid storm]

Ye

Samsung warranty used to be 3 years but their qc is so bad they were losing a lot of money and changed it to 1y

[soft bone]

Why not just return it?

[rigid storm]

Idk

[soft bone]

Fixing gaming monitors is generally too expensive and pointless

[rigid storm]

Nah my dad had this issue with his g6 last year it was just a loose ribbon

It also might be fixable with a pixel refresh

[soft bone]

Not acceptable though is this the g8 oled or lcd?

[rigid storm]

Oled

4k 240hz

[soft bone]

samsung in house qd oleds aren't even worth it, I mean they're good panels just bad qc and barely a warranty, they also charge more than others using their samsung panel

and they slapped a matte coating on some of their oled monitors

[rigid storm]

Don’t start the matte propaganda now bruh

Ts doesn’t change anything

Also Samsung qc is worth it cause of warranty and their competitors aren’t that much cheaper too

[soft bone]

I can tell a difference, I heavily prefer my aw3423dwf over the matte panels like the lg 34 inch woled

[soft bone]

Samsung doesn't even cover burn in

[rigid storm]

They do?

On their higher tiers at least

As far as I know the g80sd has it

Not sure about any others

[vague robin]

depends on the region

g80sd had no coverage though

shit was like $1300+, matte and no burn in coverage, a wtf moment

[rigid storm]

It does 😭

That’s my monitor model I js realized

💔

[vague robin]

I'm talking about the older 32 inch one

came out like 2 years ago

and the old g8 34"

so seems like samsung revised it, I remember when these monitors came out there was no coverage

good on samsung

[soft bone]

Yeah my bad, seems like they've updated their product information.

[rigid storm]

Yea that’s the one I got

[vague robin]

Also tough luck getting one with a green line.

s90d is a tv not a monitor

[rigid storm]

??

The g80sd

Wdym

[vague robin]

a 77" monitor would be kind of crazy on desktop

[vague robin]

wait what?

So the monitor has a defect that your parents know about but they're just gonna keep it?

[rigid storm]

He knows how to fix it

So it’s cool

[vague robin]

why not just return?

Unless it's out of the return period

[rigid storm]

^

[vague robin]

tough luck

I got the old gen 4k 240hz 480hz one, still love it even if it's matte

[rigid storm]

There’s a butt load of other fixes that could work and if they don’t then it’s a faulty video panel which is unfortunate

[soft bone]

I tried that one in person did not like the matte, glad LG finally launched a glossy one.

[vague robin]

although lower refresh rate

but honestly doubt many people would notice 330hz to 480hz

I usually stay on 4k mode even in competitive games

ain't sweaty enough to care

[grim tiger]

bigger jump than 60 to 144hz

[soft bone]

asus is making a 4k 240hz dual mode that is glossy for $1200, out of my budget honestly

[grim tiger]

i think that may be noticible

[vague robin]

there's like a .88ms difference between 330hz and 480hz compared to 10ms difference with 60hz to 144hz

diminishing returns the higher the refresh rate

[grim tiger]

who would have thought difference of 120% more frames would yield 120% faster speeds, meanwhile the difference of 25% more frames is 25% faster? crazy how numbers work

it is still an extra 150hz vs 84hz. i was looking at it additively instead of as a ratio.

[flat dock]

It doesn't scale linearly like that, the period is an inverse relation

So the same difference in Hz (frequency), starting from a higher frequency, is a smaller difference in ms (period)

1 Hz = 1/second

and the period is the type of thing you're perceiving, the delay between images

[soft bone]

The latency difference between high refresh rate is smaller and not as noticeable. Especially 330hz to 480hz. It’s not a one to one scale. The latency difference between 330hz and 480hz is smaller than the difference between 60hz and 144hz despite there being a greater difference in refresh rate

[flat dock]

^ i couldn't think of the word, the "period" i was talking about is the same as frame interval

[frozen sequoia]

Yeah got wooting.

[frozen sequoia]

Xl mousepad recs? Have a stock razer viper ultimate. Budg ~50$

[grim tiger]

look at artisans pads. they are around 40-50$

https://artisan-jp.com/global/fx-key-83

this is the one i would buy

[frozen sequoia]

Just bought the wooting 60. Probably gonna buy that mp since my current ikea mousepad is dirty. Is the viper ultimate outdated enough to upgrade? Bought it when it came out. Or maybe new skates?

[grim tiger]

yeah its a little outdated today. good market for lightweight gaming mice too.

i have the pulsar x2 cl but its kinda pricey compared to some other options

[wind monolith]

Any suggestions on what i could have missed?

[chrome ocean]

are you actually able to buy one new for $50USD? I tried buying key83 and type99 after shipping and import taxes to canada is $200CAD, id imagine shipping is cheaper but import taxes is higher for the US

[chrome raft]

my friend ordered directly from wooting and was shipped a brick of gray clay

not even a fun colour

[frozen sequoia]

How lmaoooo

[chrome raft]

no idea, not verifying returns more than likely

best guess

[grim tiger]

i would check some 3rd parties then, if you have import fees in canada then its probably gonna be hard to justify

[chrome ocean]

do you not have tariff in the USA when buying from Artisan

[grim tiger]

it doesnt look like i do its only about 5k yen for shipping

86$

[grim tiger]

well ill definitely be picking one up while im in japan 😆

[chrome ocean]

so not $50USD

Is there a go-to for 1440p monitors with at least 144hz? I'm not looking for anything absolutely crazy. I just upgraded from a GTX 1080 to a GTX 5070 and would like to finally retire my Asus VG248QE's that have lasted me since 2013.

My research has led me to an AOC Q27G3XMN. Seem pretty good for those specs and price

or you can go oled 😈

[vernal sleet]

Still struggling to decide on a monitor arm. Need to hold 2 27" screens, want something that I can adjust without too much hassle but seeing some stuff like £150-200+ not really looking to spend that. Anyone got any suggestions?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/HUANUO-Monitor-Rotatable-Screens-Mounting-Black/dp/B07ZNGT8K4

[chrome raft]

the MSI MPG one is really nice

that's what I'm currently using as a daily

https://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-V2-Premium-Compatible-Adjustable-Plate-Gray-Gray/dp/B0FGK5DDD7

[vernal sleet]

3x the price though

[chrome raft]

sounds like you already know what you want

[vernal sleet]

To an extent sure, just curious if there's better options that might be more convenient within a similar price range.

[vernal sleet]

Just went with the huanuo one, seems fine for my use case. I hope 😂

[sweet veldt]

does anyone have a good mini touch screen that connects with usb c

ive been searching but genuinely cant find anything thats under 800€

pref something small too like not over 14" (35cm)

[royal patrol]

we shall see

[bitter oar]

it’s gon get dirteh

dead skin and dried sweat in the encoder and on the circuit mmm

[harsh juniper]

what keyboard should I get?
my budget is to around 125 euros, can go slightly above if its worth it
need full size 100% iso DE
No Idea about switches but from what ive heard Hall effect is good, just need something silent
White Color is pretty important, RGB is a plus
I need NKRO

So I looked at keychron and they have pretty good boards but the price for the HE boards dont fit

[pale valley]

not really, no. Added a comparison against something similarly priced. https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/compare/samsung-odyssey-g50d-s27dg50-vs-aoc-q27g40xmn/60445/97969

[pale valley]

HE isn't an option in your budget for 100%. the only other option seems to be the Wooting Two HE but its $200 US and only available in ANSI

[pale valley]

Another fullsize is the Steelseries Apex Pro but i don't think its available in ISO https://steelseries.com/gaming-keyboards/apex-pro?keyboardSize=fullSize&connectivityType=wired&keyboardLanguage=english

on sale in the US for $140

ISO + White + HE @ 125 euros is a very limiting budget. so much that i don't think something like that even exists

ditching the HE requirement likely opens your options considerably

[harsh juniper]

Nvm

Forget the ping, if I let go of the HE, whats a good option?

Im in europe/germany so US sales dont apply to me and amazon is mostly my best option

[pale valley]

probably something here then, with "red" or silent switches https://www.amazon.de/s?k=mechanical+keyboard+white+100%25+ISO&crid=CIMPYL2MUVVC&sprefix=mechanical+keyboard+white+100%25+iso%2Caps%2C144&ref=nb_sb_noss

i'd suggest an all aluminum case, though I don't know if thats available in your budget

[hexed rain]

Well the AOC Q27G3XMN was the other monitor I was debating. I see the one you suggested is basically the same monitor with the one you suggested being exclusive to Best Buy, though from that same website comparing the two, they seem to learn more towards slightly favoring the one you suggested so I may get that. Thank you

Considering my current monitors have been used for 12 years now, I may push that price up to $300 and am considering the KTC M27T6.

[subtle pasture]

whats a good keyboard under $100 for gaming or everyday use and the max size I want im not syure the percentage but rn I ha ve a 60% and its a decent size but i want a keyboard tats not huge but has F keys at the top

[keen topaz]

Looking for some help with a cheap mouse i got on Amazon. The software is pretty janky/confusing and i'm not 100% sure what it's doing. It has an "acelleration" setting which i cranked down to 0 because mouse acceleration bad but the cursor moves crazy slow when i do. It's set to 10k dpi which is way higher than i typically use and would honestly like to lower it but it's just un-usable if i go any lower on dpi. What's strange is that in game it seems to function as expected for 10k dpi but in menus the movement is so low it's frustrating. Any thoughts?

Sick, I’ve got my barebones but the switches and keycaps are coming soon

[timid horizon]

If I like the layout I might try to get one of those for work, if I can get it quiet enough

But I want to see how this one does before doubling down

And what do you mean by via comparable?

[void geyser]

VIA is a keyboard programmer that allows you to do layers / binds quite easily

it's a nice piece of software

[timid horizon]

Oh, cool, never heard of it. I might try to use it with the new one I get in cause there are a couple simple keybinds I’d like to change around

Anyone have a recommendation for a mouspad? I don't need a big one for my whole desk just something less then 12"x12" in size.

Just get something cheap, I use my dad's old mousepad that is 3 years older than I am (it's from 2007) and it works fine, even though it has some cracks in it it's as good as can be. Put the money you save on the mousepad into the mouse, that's where the performance is.

How do we feel about converting two of these for monitors

All in putting a vesa mount on and the driver board it'd cost like $350 for 2 of them

which is really good considering any similar panels are like... $800+ used

[quasi prawn]

what's the best thermal paste i should get for my laptop?

Well I got that done about 30 seconds before sending the picture, working on the keycaps now, had a little trouble with the spacebars but it’s not too bad

[timid horizon]

I do seem to be missing some keycaps though

[timid horizon]

The keycaps are kind annoying but not a huge issue. Not all of these make sense but I can switch those out whenever I see more I like. I’ll get her hooked up here after dinner but she’s assembled for now

Also didn’t mean to get an ISO layout but I can deal with that

[glossy mica]

Bc you got clones

[timid horizon]

yeah, i didnt get all the ones it showed in the picture, and there are duplicates, its not a huge issue, ill just swap some caps out whenever i feel like getting some different ones

[timid horizon]

What do you mean?

[void geyser]

your keycaps are in cherry profile

so you have to putthe keys that correspond to the row on the left of your keyboard

which would be this normally with the exception of bottom delete and shift

[timid horizon]

Yeah, but I mean I’m missing some of the extra keys, like the ones that were supposed to go on the far left and the extra buttons on the top right

It’s fine, I just used other keys for now, but they clearly had other ones in the picture that aren’t here

Just a more expensive inky 75. Just get that instead tbh

[grim ridge]

any keyboard recommendations for a general gaming (TKL/80% or smaller, preferably under $200USD). Currently on a Razer BlackWidow v4 75% and having issues with some keys, or should I go the route of just replacing the switches?

Probably neo 60 or 60cu

[vernal sleet]

Another pic I found on reddit .

Assuming that's what I need to be able to mount it to my arm but I dont have one or know where to get one. Trying to look online but seeing alot of 3d printed stuff 😂

[glad rivet]

I have some
Neomounts by Newstar, all metal, they are decent, there are cheaper ones though. You need to consider the weight of the monitor, too heavy and it won't lift, and too light it will stay high unless you add additional weight

[glad rivet]

Aren't these 4 screws in a VESA pattern?

[tardy saddle]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/nyk5bjOWuHw

I hate that it's a Shorts video (vertical video is AWFUL on anything but a phone) but that's how the official VESA adapter from AOC mounts to the monitor. According to the user manual from AOC, the adapter should have come with the monitor in the box.

[limpid plank]

why is my gaming monitor so much more flushed then my shitty laptop screen

[tardy saddle]

"Flushed" meaning... what? Like, why are the 2 monitors so different in their color reproduction? Impossible to say without knowing the exact make / model of each. In general, the LCD panels could be different technologies (VA, TN, IPS, OLED) and come from different manufacturing / factory lines. This will affect the display quality.

[vernal sleet]

Yeah i just dont recall getting one and was trying to contact their support to get one, as I dobt see it online anywhere apart from third party ones at £40. But their support form won't let me send snything, goes to some random site after telling me to login

[tardy saddle]

Sounds like it's time to return the monitor and buy one that both has VESA mounting built-in and is from a company whose support process actually works. #votewithyourwallet.

[vernal sleet]

But yeah those bits are the right ones by the looks of it I just need the official mount cos the vesa mount on the arm i have is too big

I got the screen early this yesr so doubt I could do that. About January

Will try give their support a call tomorrow and see if I csn work something out.

[tardy saddle]

Sounds like a plan. Or perhaps the adapter is still in the original box, if you're someone who keeps original boxes.

[limpid plank]

One of them is from a LOQ (Laptop) and the main monitor is a MSI Optix MAG27CQ, and by flushed out I mean my main monitor just seems to be over saturated and very white when my laptop seems to actually have some darkness and colour to it

[vernal sleet]

I do usually, I threw the actual box in the bin cos it was at my exes but I kept the peripheral box & spare parts. I just couldn't find it at home. I remmeber bringing it though 😂 just wasn't with the rest of my empty boxes so might have to have another dig

I mean at $100 there isn't much I can even suggest lol so just get whatever

I mean either that or you get a dedicated mic + headphone combo

[hoary matrix]

what yall think about Audeze maxwell gaming headset for 300?

Should I trust a 5 dollar 65 watt "gan" charger?

[fervent breach]

if you want to

maybe it’ll blow up maybe it won’t

if you don’t want to risk that get something from a reputable brand

[coral ferry]

I got one for 20 dollars at gamestop...which is like the opposite of a "reputable" brand

[harsh juniper]

does the logitech g915 x lightspeed still have problems with keyboard chatter?

[hoary matrix]

yoo cop or drop

[chrome raft]

ugreen better

[coral ferry]

I already have enough, but thanks

[chrome raft]

why ask about that then

GaN is gallium nitrde

[coral ferry]

It just seemed weird to see a "gan" charger for 5 dollars

[chrome raft]

ok

[vernal sleet]

I assume most things online would work but anything you guys prefer for cable management? Since Ive mounted these screens the wires are way more visible and looks horrible. Was thinking of getting a cable managing kit with a basket to sit under the back of my desk to put the power brick and then get something to hide / neaten up cables. Only thing is my mouse / headphones wires are probably gonna be very difficult to keep neat. Mouse cos I dont want to tie it then not have enough slack, and my headphones I tend to tug even without managing it just because i move around on my desk

Cos I was thinking cable ties but theres not really anything to tie them too on my desk so not really sure what will work, unless I get something sticky hooks or something that go under my desk and put them through that? What would you guys suggest

Wires in question are obvious 😂

[full plover]

any monitor cables can try routing along the arms and just use zip ties, if want under desk they do make little nylon straps with 3M stickies on the back that can work well and pretty easy to adjust what goes where if stick a few of them down strategically

for headphones personally usually just use blue tooth if hooked to PC so not constantly yanking on a wire from moving around but otherwise would just plug into front-panel audio if available and works otherwise can just use extension

[glad rivet]

MCM is genuinely great. For a cheaper approach you can look at Ikea desks with the net below. You can recreate this with a cargo net intended for car trunk/boot and then use zip ties or preferably velcro cable ties around monitor arms.

[rapid acorn]

hi all i just got a new keyboard its arriving in a week got it for a good price too

[chrome raft]

ok dude

[vernal sleet]

They're studio headphones so don't really have that option

[formal trout]

Should I upgrade my mice? I have Logitech G Pro Wireless (first version), works fine no problems at all with it, but considering getting the Logitech G Pro X Superlight Lightspeed, is it worth spending the money if my mice is fine still?

[vernal sleet]

I mean to me it just sounds like a waste. You're replacing something that isn't broken.

Unless there's a reason you want a new mouse / youre having problems with your current one theres really no point to do it just for the sake of it

[digital oar]

any recommendations for a lightweight mouse that is good and durable? 've had an attack shark x3 (logitech gpro clone) and it was perfect but after 4 months it stopped working so Im trying to look for a mouse that is similar but can last a lot longer than 4 months 😛 (and also wireless)

[chrome raft]

https://www.wlmouse.com/products/huan

[grim tiger]

magnesium alloy and still 48g?

these guys cheated and still didnt make a light mouse

[bitter oar]

magnesium alloy is heavier than most plastics

48g is also def a light mouse

also most mag alloy mice are holed

[harsh juniper]

is the logitech g915x lightspeed a good keyboard? I heard it had keyboard chatter issues

[brittle cradle]

whats the best way to properly light a desk with dual monitors, i've seen the heftily expensive benq options and I'm not sure how willing I am to spend that much 😅 , my current lamp doesn't quite do the trick without shining into my eyes and/or causing glare

[fervent breach]

monitor light bar thing

[brittle cradle]

ya but theres a tonne of options, any decent budget reccs?

[bitter oar]

only if it’s dirt cheap

[chrome raft]

ur not smart\

[harsh juniper]

Like 160?

[bitter oar]

like 20-30 usd

[harsh juniper]

Is it that shit?

[bitter oar]

considering the high prices yes

not the cheapest lp wireless kb nor the best

[harsh juniper]

what else would you recommend? im searching for a white mechanical silent full size keyborad

[bitter oar]

my recommendations may be outdated so i’ll let someone let to rec it like @void geyser

i can tell you at best what is bad or meh

but not what’s good

currently

[void geyser]

White and full size doesn't usually go together, best you'd get is an 1800 format

To be fair, oyu do have the class 100

https://coffeekeys.eu/en/products/group-buy-class-65-v3-eng-1

that comes in white coating

https://www.qwertykeys.com/products/qk101-custom-mechanical-keyboard?variant=46591665635571

qk 101 too but it's sold out

[harsh juniper]

Message didnt post mb
Yeah 1800 seems fine, full size preferable thoug

Riiiight, 300 bucks is waaaay out of my budget, I was looking for something around 170 euros

[bitter oar]

maybe something w proper aluminum casing from aliexpress?

[harsh juniper]

German stores (or amazon because of their return policy) preferred, aliexpress at that price point really isnt something for me

[chrome raft]

leopold fc980c

qk98

[fervent breach]

is that an mx thing?

there’s lots of white full-size

[fervent breach]

leopold stopped doing topre boards so now they’re really expensive to buy

[harsh juniper]

im guessing theres not much?

[chrome raft]

idk mine was 50$

[fervent breach]

when did u buy

[harsh juniper]

might take the gamble on the g915 lol#

[void geyser]

ah in that case, it changes a little bit

I didn't knw your budget so thought you'd want something more enthusiast sided

https://coffeekeys.eu/en/products/nd104-eng?variant=52627668861265

you would need some keycaps tho

but it comes with switches

I recommend this one, it's quite nice

Cidoo v98 also comes into mind

[harsh juniper]

i mean it looks good,price not so much

[void geyser]

it's budget enthusiast tier

v98 would be my budget pick

[harsh juniper]

not available in germany oof

[coarse bloom]

what are your guys thoughts on going from a corsair k68 keyboard to the keychron q1 he copper since I'm thinking about as it matches the theming of my build and would sound way better than my k68

[bitter oar]

aliexpress also has alrighty return policies

but yeah returning is not good with aliexpress if you don’t have a reason other than you don’t like it especially if they don’t have warehouses/return points in EU

if you’re worried though about sketchy sellers (amazon has those too) if you want to feel extra safe you can record opening the package

aliexpress should cover like if the keyboard comes dead

Recently got the pro g super light 2 and I’m starting to get some wrist pain on the top inner part of my wrist, what are the best ways to fix my ergonomics for this, I’m allready sitting up straight and using a wrist pad and making sure I’m reaching down and not up

I’m only playing old school runescape for like an hour and a half at a time

[flat dock]

my PBS blanks have arrived

like 6 months ago

im aware of topre lore

[chrome raft]

to be fair i purchased from a chinese seller and they sent me parts not needing proof lol

through amazon

they seem to be alright

ig i did send them a screenshot of missing 1 though

so ig i did send proof

but little proof

[void geyser]

yayyy what do you think

[void geyser]

you're 500$ for a keychron

https://tenor.com/view/it's-time-to-stop-gif-9416155803997449261

[flat dock]

The surface texture is 10/10

Idk why the far keycaps become so overexposed on my phone camera

[flat dock]

surface is very smooth

they are nice and flat and also fairly spherical

[glad rivet]

That's a great color combination

[void geyser]

hows the gem 80

[flat dock]

I need to do something about the stabs

they are very ticky

Idk whether I need to learn how to balance them or whatever

I'm not a big fan of the colors myself tbh but it's nice having a white keycap set in my inventory

[coarse bloom]

yea but if it fits the theme def worth the 500

[sleek oriole]

so guess what i just remembered. i was looking through some pics from when i turned 11, and i saw that i received my deskpad that day. that was 7 1/2 years ago. this year the rubber where i rest my arm for my mouse started giving way. i should probably replace the thing right?

[fervent breach]

what was the purpose of the first 2 sentences

anyway if you feel the need to replace it then do

if it still works and you don’t really care then don’t

[sleek oriole]

i recently got a temporary pad to put on top to stop some skipping before i replace 100%. love the design though. dark mode timezone map
and no, idk why i added those extra ones. sorry

[north pike]

anyone have any reccomendations for a 60% keyboard thats relatively affordable? My 100% takes up my whole desk and i always end up slamming my mouse into it

hopefully a mechanical 🙏

[flat dock]

budget? pre-built, barebones, or custom? desired features?

[north pike]

Prebuilt, no need for fancy features, max probably $50 canadian

I want like a smooth keyboard thats easy to press which i think is linear?

[hazy tendon]

yo, what is the best attack shark mouse? x3,x6 or x11?

[flat dock]

I switched the bottom row mods to the concave ones (normal) instead of the convex ones that i was trying out (convex is like spacebar)

[timber zinc]

What can cause a key to register multiple hits? I have a keychron Q6 max that is about 6 months old and the tab key when first pressed will register multiple time but gets better as I use it. If I slowly press the button it will register multiple also.

[tardy saddle]

Dust / foreign objects in the keyswitch, faulty / defective keyswitch, twitchy fingers, etc.

[timber zinc]

would taking the keycap off and blowing out with air be smart or dumb?

[tardy saddle]

It won't hurt anything... usually. I do this to clean my keyboards once in a while.

[coral ferry]

One of my keys was missing...

But at least now it don't have that insufferable typeface

yes they ship the item to you

[fervent breach]

itll ship from japan btw so

White Wireless ISO keyboards are so difficult to get
what are y'alls opinion on https://akkogear.de/en/products/5075b-plus-via-iso-mechanical-keyboard

I know what you guys think about wireless keyboards, however I won't run a USB cable throough 2 doors

[timber zinc]

Would taking the switch out and reseating it have a chance to fix the problem? This is messing up my games. Or could I buy a replacement switch

[tardy saddle]

Impossible to say without knowing what's causing the problem. But... since it's not working properly anyway, you could always try it? It might fix it, or it might break something else. Your call.

[timber zinc]

Where would be the place to get a replacement switch if choose to replace it

its a keychron Q6 max with the gateron jupiter brown switches

[tardy saddle]

No idea. I don't buy individual switches. Since it's a Keychron, I would check with/contact them.

[timber zinc]

fair enough thanks

[main narwhal]

also software you could download

chatter blockers or unchatter

which isn't ideal, but it will work

[flat dock]

You're better off just changing the keyboard firmware instead, but given its only happening with a couple switches I'd say they could be replaced

[main narwhal]

@timber zinc isn't that a hotswap board?

[flat dock]

They don't seem to be sold in less than sets of 110 unfortunately
They're on amazon and on gateron's website, I guess you can choose between buying a full set of switches or trying a different switch if you like

[timber zinc]

Yes

[main narwhal]

did you try switching one of the switches from one into the effected switch

like swapping tab and q

[timber zinc]

Not yet

[main narwhal]

chatter can be caused by several things

[flat dock]

you should try that first

[main narwhal]

the board should have come with a switch puller

[timber zinc]

Okay but this problem is weird its gets better after I press and hold it down for a bit

[main narwhal]

eliminating causes one by one would be good

i suspect it might be the socket

[timber zinc]

I was just hesitant too because I have never done it didnt know if it was hard or not

[main narwhal]

it's not

what tools did your keyboard come with?

[timber zinc]

Keycap and switch puller

an Alan Wrench

and I think a screw driver

[main narwhal]

mostly i would be careful with those solid plastic keycap pullers

they can kind of damage caps if you aren't careful

[timber zinc]

It has metal that bends to go around the cap

[main narwhal]

i wouldn't worry about that then

yeah, just pull the caps off tab and a key you know is goign to work fine, swap the switches

as you swap them, check that the little legs on the bottom aren't bent

sometimes they can be deformed in such a way that it still technically makes contact but not good contact with the socket

[timber zinc]

I havent swapped the key yet though I just tried pressing the key down and wiggling it and EVERY times it registers multiple presses. Ill swap the switches soon

Hello I am looking at getting a mouse I have an m4 MacBook Pro I’m wondering if I should get the Logitech mx master 4 or the Magic Mouse both are pretty good ergonomically for me but the Magic Mouse is more portable and has gestures where as the Logitech has haptics and several remap-able buttons and a second scroll wheel I will be using this for blender mostly (also I will not be looking at any replies going “the Magic Mouse is stupid it charges from the bottom and doesn’t have great ergonomics” I want answers other than that)

[grim oyster]

Which would you choose? 5€ diff

[chrome raft]

how are they priced

[grim oyster]

125€ for the black one

[chrome raft]

so like, do you like the black one more personally

because youre getting scammed on the price

[grim oyster]

I know, in other stores its about 160€

[chrome raft]

those are 25EUR keycaps

[grim oyster]

No but im scared of white

[chrome raft]

OHHHHH

What are your guys recommendations / thoughts on backlights?

[chrome raft]

not really, we had these and it was so clunky and annoying, the phillips variant is miles ahead

[vernal sleet]

Okay thank. Been wantong one for a bit just never actually decided on one to get as theres a ton at different prices. And also didnt want to pay some of the silly prices that are out there. My tv is only 48.

What phillips model specifically?

Had a look around and people recommend the hdmi sync ones but first one I saw was about £300, not really tryns pay that much

[chrome raft]

I honestly cant remember as its been a few years since i purchased, yeah it was around 3-500 after all said and done, not the most cost efficient thing out there.

felt like i wasted money going the govee route back then, could be a different story now though who knows.

[vernal sleet]

Yeha I didn't wanna spend that much. Ideally under £80 ish.

Govee is recommended quite alot from what I've seen tho

[chrome raft]

Yeah I noticed that when I bought before though, seemed fishy considering how let down I was

my standard could also be very high as well? you might love it

[grim oyster]

can someone pls help me, i have no idea which keyboard do i get 😭

Hey y'all so I just recently got a 4k, 27", 160hz QD-MiniLED for £229.99 (Like 300 bucks), is this a good quality monitor for the price I paid? Is there any negatives I should look out for in my experience

[exotic perch]

The only one that has as many buttons that I want costs $60. Too steep for me

[severe wind]

x20

look at ite

[severe wind]

i mean other than that you could have found one for less somewhere

More expensive & with less buttons. No thanks

[severe wind]

I am looking for the best steering wheel i can get. No limit on price. But i want gear shifter

[chrome raft]

u smell like burnt rubber xD

[neat zephyr]

well, that tells nothing about latency or brightness, and those are things you may care about. But yes the base specs sound good for the price

[north cape]

By latency do you mean response time?

[neat zephyr]

the Optimum yt channel has a video on his very expensive racing setup, maybe you can find something interesting there

[neat zephyr]

yes that

[north cape]

If so, I believe its either .5ms or 1ms. Max brightness is HDR 1200 and SDR 600

[neat zephyr]

the thing is... Theres also the individual pixel response time to a change from one specific colour/tone to another specific one. For very specific stuff like that I would recommend looking at the rtings reviews. Even if the overall response time is good, if the pixels dont shift color quickly enough, the image will be blurry

Also you might expect a display with an anti reflex coating to reduce annoying reflections.
Even if you have an OLED for example, if it handles the reflections really bad, you wont take advantage of the deep blacks

Its very specific stuff to look into, I know, but its some things you might care about

[north cape]

Uhh I think I just found it and pixel response time is 6Ms at 160Hz

No clue if thats good lol

[neat zephyr]

oh yeah and also about the fps... You might also care about technologies like gsync.
Also, there are monitors that, even with G sync, handle FPS below the max (160Hz in this case for example) really bad, and add a lot of extra latency. Not saying this is the case, but there are some monitors that might have 6ms at 160Hz, but 20ms at 60fps (and not just because lower frequencies naturally have a higher response time, but because it adds even more latency for some reason), so if you arent sure about being able to run your games at max framerates, then you might also care about that

You can go to rtings and check every variable they test there, and you decide what you care about

[north cape]

I am thankfully able to run all the games I play at 4k max fps at almost max settings if not on maximum

which ones the better controller for PC gaming? All these have hall effect I think

Tag if answered

[chrome raft]

sounds like you buy this one

not sure whta the problem is here

[chrome raft]

[wide ridge]

I'm looking for a good 100% mechanical keyboard with rgb, does anyone has a good idea, for around 100€

[hazy isle]

Too white, doesn't fit with the rest of my stuff

[trail bobcat]

Any good keyboards for preferably under 100€

[neat zephyr]

DIY(?
Do you care about the screens or do you just want a macropad

Edit:
A bit of soldering, a microcontroller (I use pro micro for my DIYs, they are $4), and some switches (gateron milky pro yellow v3s really are a great deal, its like $15 for 72), a 3d printed case and plate and you are good to go. Completely understandable if you dont want to go that route, but you really can build macropads for $7 and thats great

[neat zephyr]

Any keychron keyboard is a safe bet.
Epomaker also makes decent stuff

Iirc linus uses a keychron and its standard in the office

[trail bobcat]

I hope they have them in my country

[neat zephyr]

Epomaker can ship via aliexpress and keychron is also pretty large

[faint shell]

I got the Corsair k60 pro as rgb, it’s good, feels nice, but the keycaps are not not hotswapable and they have a sort of plastic feel on the switches, but other wise I love it. It was 60 usd.

[trail bobcat]

Keychron exist for me but wich model

[neat zephyr]

The one that fits you the best

[trail bobcat]

Boiii

[neat zephyr]

There isnt really a large quality difference between the models

Just buy the size that you need

or you might want one with short travel keys instead of one with standard switches

they also sell those

anything from the K or Q series is fine

Personally I have never tested anything from the other series, but the standard of quality is high and you get good customer support from what ive heard

[trail bobcat]

I found a k3

Do you know what it sounds like

[neat zephyr]

I have personally used a K3 with brown switches and it sounds okay (I am a keyboard nerd, so okay = very good for most people)
In any case I would recommend listening to its sound in any YT video. There should be plenty about keychron products

Be wary that thats a keyboard that uses switches with low travel distance. Not saying its bad, its about preference, and I am pointing it out just in case

[trail bobcat]

Sounds very clicky

[neat zephyr]

Almost no keyboard with an open case with low profile switches will sound deep

if you are looking for a low profile keyboard, Lofree has some good offerings

Those have a deep sound that I like

[trail bobcat]

I tought about the f75 from epomaker

[neat zephyr]

thats a very popular option!

[trail bobcat]

But a guy said it can die on itself

[neat zephyr]

oop

I wonder whats the failure %
As I said, its a very popular option. If its 1 in a million well... Its probably fine.
But yes do your own research on that

[trail bobcat]

Mkay

[neat zephyr]

I believe epomaker are chinese so idk if I would trust support to be that good, also idk which warranties they offer, as Ive never bought from them (I have used an Aula F75 tho, and it was also okay)

[trail bobcat]

Okay thats good too know

Do you know about the brand drunk deer

[neat zephyr]

What would I know. I am a moderator in the DrunkDeer discord lol

I have an A75 Pro with me rn.
Its good BUT

DrunkDeer has had very bad RMA problems with their first gen keyboards (A75Pro, A75, G75, G65 and G60)
The keyboards do brick (break) for LOTS of people (its around 2%, but thats still crazy high), and if you are not under warranty, you will not receive a free replacement part (standard warranty is 1 year)

I sincerely cannot recommend a first gen DrunkDeer keyboard if you are not willing to bet whether you will be in the 2% or not. And it sucks because they are really really good HE keyboards for the price.

[trail bobcat]

Okay

Then thats off the list

It cannot be this hard to find a keyboard

[neat zephyr]

Well, when buying something that is not at the highest end, you understand you are making sacrifices everywhere, and evaluating those small variables that change between options is overwhelming

What I do in these situations (in general, not just for keebs) is just go for it. After all, I think that you/I will be happy or at least satisfied enough with whichever option is chosen

I mentioned keychron just because its really the safest bet you can make. Unless you are a big keyboard nerd, you will like the product anyways, and they are pretty reliable

[trail bobcat]

Okay ill consider that

[neat zephyr]

Also, I will mention that LTT labs tests keyboards
-# To be honest, I kinda think its a waste of time both to test those and to check the tests of those results, because technical stuff about keyboards is something that almost no one cares about, not even me. Those dont test durability nor customer support, which are two very important parts. I just mention this because we are in the LTT server and well, thats a resource you might be interested in looking at

[ivory eagle]

Looking for a 27" 1440p monitor for single-player gaming. Budget: under €200 in Italy. Any recommendations?

[trail bobcat]

Look for a aoc monitor

[inner wing]

https://it.pcpartpicker.com/product/Jp4Pxr/aoc-q27g4xf-270-2560-x-1440-180-hz-monitor-q27g4xf or https://it.pcpartpicker.com/product/JPKnTW/dell-alienware-aw2725dm-270-2560-x-1440-180-hz-monitor-aw2725dm

I think Alienware one is better

Though it's glossy, AOC one is matte

[chrome raft]

buy another keycap set then

[ivory eagle]

The ktc h27t7p?

[waxen atlas]

Guys is the 8bitdo one better than the other 2 here ?

[hazy isle]

I was asking if there are any that are similar but more black not white

[inner wing]

Difficult to find reviews of that monitor.

keyboards are entirely preference

it’s like ltt labs testing whether tennis is good or not

[fervent breach]

just buy a hhkb pro2/realforce 87u

electrocapacitive mechanism

premium keyboards

[trail bobcat]

The hhkb costs 300€ and the realforce isnt available in my country

[fervent breach]

purchase them used

realforce is never available in anyone’s country

you just gotta find one

https://buyee.jp/mercari is a good place for both boards

[trail bobcat]

Im just gonna buy like a ak820

I think

It sounds creamy

[fervent breach]

@trail bobcat https://buyee.jp/mercari/item/m88712834377?conversionType=Mercari_DirectSearch

this one’s a bluetooth model so it’s not what i’d go for

but wow very cheap

“Ohh dear 5qr1 i can’t afford the shipping crikey”

it is not that expensive don’t worry

it was like £20-30 for me

[trail bobcat]

[fervent breach]

yeah

you’ll be fine

[trail bobcat]

So its gonna be way more expensive for me

[trail bobcat]

Whats wrong with the ak820

[fervent breach]

it will not be

[fervent breach]

yet another slop mx keyboard

[flat dock]

@fervent breach you're like a Jehovah's Witness

[fervent breach]

“creamy”

[fervent breach]

yes but i promote the TRUE gospel

[trail bobcat]

What that mean

[flat dock]

dude saw topre and can't imagine letting anyone else buy anything else

[fervent breach]

the keyboard gospel

[fervent breach]

no bro

i was enlightened by topre

it’s like when you change a habit and you can’t believe you were doing something else

[flat dock]

I can't barely play Minecraft with the hhkb

[fervent breach]

basically what i am saying is it is just like 600 other chinese mechanical keyboards that’ll stop working from some stupid pcb breakage in 2 months

Topre is the best keyboard switch ever

[neat zephyr]

I know and imo that supports my point

[fervent breach]

i play minecraft like a lot on my realforce

[trail bobcat]

Is rk royal kludge a good brand

[fervent breach]

best keyboard i’ve ever used for gaming

[fervent breach]

no

terrible

please get a hhkb or realforce

you don’t understand

they’re so good

topre switches

[flat dock]

@trail bobcat you do understand

[fervent breach]

as opposed to mechanical ones ur looking at

you’re not enlightened

you don’t understand son

i am paving you a path to the light

it’s your choice to walk on it

[trail bobcat]

Man im not buying some used keyboard from some Japanese gooner with nut on it bro

[fervent breach]

@flat dock Do you like my uhc hotbar

[trail bobcat]

This one gotta be nice

[fervent breach]

ok not even being a topre shill

this is literally one of the shittedt keyboards you can buy

and on amazon too?

[trail bobcat]

Amazon is the only place i can order

🥺

[fervent breach]

no it isn’t man

[flat dock]

It is cool you're able to play Minecraft in spite of the hhkb

[fervent breach]

i promise you other online retailers ship to austria

[fervent breach]

I play it on a realforce 104ug actually

w flex

i used to use a hhkb though

i just like clunky boards for gaming

[trail bobcat]

Yes but amazon is the easiest and most known

[fervent breach]

so

great things come with challenge setoe

if you’re not willing to sacrifice your easy checkout you’re not worthy of a good typing experience my friend

well actually that’s a shitty statement it’s just as easy to buy a keyboard from like

aliexpress if you’re buying sloptier

[flat dock]

I sacrificed it and went to eBay and still got a worthy typing experience

[fervent breach]

But if u want topre

[fervent breach]

well yeah but you paid like £120 right

[flat dock]

proof by contradiction

[trail bobcat]

What the fuck is topre

[fervent breach]

that’s over double the hhkb i listed

[flat dock]

yeah with shipping but on buyee its basically the same price

[fervent breach]

an alternative to the traditional “mechanical” keyboard switch (usually cherry mx) regarded by enthusiasts as one of the best switches ever made

[flat dock]

it was closer to $105 I think

[fervent breach]

it’s electrocapative

[flat dock]

USD not gbp

[fervent breach]

what i am recommending you is gods work buddy

[flat dock]

GBP is expensiver

[fervent breach]

why does everyone think buyee is evil shipping

[trail bobcat]

Im not an enthusiast im just trynna play Minecraft 1.8.9 bedwars

[fervent breach]

their shipping isn’t that rxpensive bro

[flat dock]

Because it was, I literally compared them side by side

I figured eBay was easier to deal with when the total cost is the same

[fervent breach]

Then get a dell membrane man i showed you the truth and you’re complacent

[fervent breach]

did u use their shitty calculator

[flat dock]

idfk I went to the checkout but the shipping wasn't even the largest cost

[fervent breach]

[trail bobcat]

No

Anything besides the hhkb

[fervent breach]

realforce 87u

[gloomy pivot]

no why would i choose those btw

[trail bobcat]

Isnt in My country

[fervent breach]

realforce 89u

[fervent breach]

idk

[flat dock]

@trail bobcat I think in the end most keyboards below like the $150-200 pricepoint are basically ewaste, but the thing is you've been using ewaste all your life so does it really matter

[fervent breach]

bro all my keyboards i paid less than $200 for

what ru trying to say

[jolly dagger]

i don't think there's been a real world case of one, but the f75 can catch fire

[flat dock]

ur hhkb is ewaste I'm sorry

[fervent breach]

it objectively isn’t maneee

[jolly dagger]

there's a video of one with a chip shorting out and getting incredibly hot

[fervent breach]

YOU HAVE ONE

[flat dock]

Doesn't even have windows software and firmware with malware in it

[trail bobcat]

I am using a 20€ 60% keyboard so what

[fervent breach]

@trail bobcat is this the quality you desire?

[flat dock]

that's how you know hhkb is ewaste

[fervent breach]

my hhkb has been pushing strong since 2006

[flat dock]

Yeah that's what I'm.getting at

[jolly dagger]

not all Aula stuff is crap i imagine

[flat dock]
