[trail bobcat]

It has cocoa cream v2

[fervent breach]

i feel like a veteran watching the next generation get conscripted

[fervent breach]

What

[flat dock]

the arrow keys on hhkb

[fervent breach]

i don’t use my hhkb for vim

[flat dock]

Or are you on tkl

[fervent breach]

cause uhh i might have got too used to arrow keys

[flat dock]

That makes it so much worse

[fervent breach]

i’m on a full-size

i really don’t know why

[fervent breach]

IT WORKS MAN

[jolly dagger]

i mean it's probably okay, but i wouldn't get it

[fervent breach]

at least my config is kinda good

well i use neovim

[jolly dagger]

i am on TKL

[fervent breach]

but i have the hip minimal config

with the freaking inbuilt package manager

[jolly dagger]

i could've bought a 75% but i just didn't

[fervent breach]

on nightly build

[fervent breach]

i think we all know they should just buy a hhkb or realforce 87u

[flat dock]

@jolly dagger wtf exactly would you recommend for 100 eur keyboard on austria because I'm all out of ideas

[fervent breach]

HEY GIYS

once u can convert yen to ur currency in ur head its easy

@fervent breach is the type of guy to not like a neo60 core either

[fervent breach]

keychron is the only ok mx company but i think topre is still miles better

[fervent breach]

is it mx

yes it is probably

[flat dock]

Yes, fortunately

[fervent breach]

text editor file manager It is a lot of things for plan9 os

if you don’t know what plan9 is google it

it’s really neat

[flat dock]

Plan9 equivalent of emacs?

[jolly dagger]

it's not a 7-eleven it's a konbini

[fervent breach]

maybe

i guess that is a good comparison maybe

[flat dock]

can I get X11 on plan9 and use acme as my wm

[fervent breach]

they also have a “sam” text editor

[flat dock]

that's a requirement for me

[fervent breach]

but i don’t know a thing about it

[fervent breach]

no you cannot

completely different philosophies

[flat dock]

it needs wayland

[fervent breach]

bro it has rio

which is like better wayland

[trail bobcat]

This is the only one available is it good

[fervent breach]

GOD i hate wayland

[fervent breach]

[flat dock]

I only like posix

[fervent breach]

it is the spiritual successor of unix made at bell labs

[fervent breach]

no bro it’s an incredible feat of software engineering

and it is a driving force of inspiration behind lots of linux features

like /proc namespaces uhh

idk i forgot i don’t really care about linux

[flat dock]

you know what else is an incredible feat is hyprland yet look how unstable it is :/

@trail bobcat can we make an agreement

[flat dock]

it kinda is tbh

[fervent breach]

yep it’s completely possible to download and run a program without any user input from a website

[fervent breach]

no it isn’t bro 😭

the humble web standard:

[flat dock]

what is "the humble web standard"

which web standard

[fervent breach]

web standards are in place to stop people from doing exactly what we’re talking about

[flat dock]

everything's a collection of thousands of RFCs

[flat dock]

not in this case

[fervent breach]

WHAT

[flat dock]

you won't find any w3c standard that says tabs must be sandboxed

[fervent breach]

what case

[flat dock]

its just a thing that's obvious to do in the modern world

[fervent breach]

what a stupid argument

[flat dock]

you're just saying stuff 😭

[fervent breach]

you can’t get malware from clicking on a link unless you really really try

end of story

[fervent breach]

HOW

you’re just saying stuff son

elite level ragebait

[flat dock]

the sandboxing is there to prevent vulnerabilities from escaping, not because they made a protocol for you to execute code on the host from a website

[trail bobcat]

Yall think this 10€ mousepad will do fine

[fervent breach]

i am not gonna pretend like i am a master of networking and how the internet and web browsers work cause it is not my expertise

[flat dock]

I am

It's my expertise

[fervent breach]

but i know u can’t just run around running arbitrary code on someone’s machine that can access system resources

[flat dock]

you can when there's a vulnerability in the browser design or code, that's why the advice exists

[fervent breach]

well okay yeah you can make a website and itll use their memory and compute if you want to do that

[fervent breach]

yes bro but no one is that leet

and it’s probably browser specific

well he told me he’s on ios

so it’ll be safari

so if i was super awesome i could have like

safari vuln

and use a hyperlink or something

[flat dock]

I'd waste a 0day on you just to shut you up

[fervent breach]

but i am not that awesome and cool

Basically I have been looking at OLED monitors for a while and seems like the mass discount periods just ended, now I’m wondering what monitor I should get. I got a 9070XT and I pretty much want the best monitor possible. My room can be dark and bright, but most o the time lights are off so it’s rather dark, I’m considering tandem OLED cause it’s so much better on paper but I’m hesitant due to it costing more and people say they have a lot of issues with tandem OLED. Idk if I should get tandem / QD-OLED or regular older gen models. Budget is like up to 8000 SEK (Swedish crowns) but it has to be good price - value. Anyway the one I have leaned most towards is the xg27aqwmg, which is not in stock anywhere in my country, but they’ll restock soon in like early February so it’ll be fine waiting. Anyway if u got other ideas please say so and tell me why you think it’s a better idea. I’d rather not go too much over my budget but a bit is fine if it’s real good value. Also do I get 1440p or 4k for my gpu? Should I wait for smth to release? Should I get a bigger screen like an ultrawide or 27”?

[rugged grove]

Hello, I'm going to buy a mouse tonight, I was just wondering about a few things. I Got some choices:
$15 Attack Shark X11 (Paw3311) 62 grams
$20 VXE R1 SE (Paw3395SE) ~51 grams
$25 AJ179P (Paw3395) ~55 grams
$26 Attack Shark X3 (Paw2295) ~49 grams
They all come with magnetic charging stations

To be honest I love the way the attack sharks look, especially the cheaper X11, so is it worth it going for the other options, and is there actually a difference?

[rich pawn]

I recommend buying wired mice instead, no charging ever, plug and play anywhere.

most importantly no latency

[rugged grove]

I'm coming from a wired mouse, I wanna try something new. Also they come with cables anyway so

I had a 120 gram walmart Onn gaming mouse before (:

[worldly garden]

budget attackshark isnt that reliable

they have a diasterous attack shark r1

terrible qc

i dont know if they did it better

[bitter oar]

regular old aj179 is like $16

pas3395

ok nvm it has been too long since it was discontinued, no longer in stock

[rugged grove]

Honestly I'm tempted to just get the X11 cause of the way it looks and the magnetic charging station. I was wrong the other ones don't have it

[bitter oar]

i wonder how good/bad the m348 with paw3395 mouses are, if they even have paw3395

they go for like $10

[bitter oar]

check reviews if it doesn’t have qc or bad build issues such as creaking, poor skates, meh coating, grindy button implementation, too much pre-travel or post-travel (either by shell or bad switches)

[bitter oar]

ok i found one for 7 💀

there no way- yeah i’ll buy one

hmmm 6400dpi and 20g yeah that’s surely paw3395 and that sensor placement, sus.

and not going to mention the lack of branding

welp, then there is the delux m900pro

[flat dock]

AFAIK the latency difference between dongle and wired is almost none

[bitter oar]

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/delux-m900-pro/5.html

[bitter oar]

i guess aj179 v1 was one of a kind

deal

@rugged grove do you need a charging station?

[rugged grove]

I got the X11 and that has it 😂

purely based on looks. I figured I've been just fine with a $20 walmart mouse for 6 years and I only sold it cause I wamted to get a wireless mouse so it should be morebthan fine

A reviewer actually said he'd take the X11 over the X1 and X3 any day if he used it for work, and it's fine for gaming.

[bitter oar]

yeah btw paw3395se is some paw3335 refresh

totally fine but far from 3395

[rugged grove]

X11 has paw3311 lol

I doubt I'll notice a difference

[bitter oar]

it depends on the implementation

[rugged grove]

I just noticed today I was at 500hz instead of 1000 on the mouse I jist sold and I didn't even notice a difference switching to 1000 playing cs2

[bitter oar]

yeah, unsure about that one

it’s like high performance low feature sku

doesn’t officially support or list programmable LoD

but you say it’s enough then it’s enough, no need to overspend for a mice, even if the sensor is worse you will very likely not notice

a good implementation of 3311 will beat a poor implementation of 3395 (like when they put on some cheap soc)

[rich wraith]

hey, my logi options+ app just wont work like it gets stuck on the loading screen any one have any help?

please ping me if you do

[worldly garden]

reinstallation ?

[misty juniper]

Has anybody used the Fifine apligame D6 stream controller, and how is it to use

[pale tide]

Has anyone had any issues with using a USB-C hub connected to a monitor and a couple of peripherals where when the computer wakes up from sleep, the monitor does not come back on? I have to unplug the dock, and plug it back in for the monitor to come back online.

The laptop I am using is a Lenovo Thinkpad T14s running on Windows 11 and the Snapdragon X Elite chip.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

[rich wraith]

I tried that already didn’t seem to do anything

[young spoke]

im paying for the whole FN key im gonna use the whole FN key

mouse controls are for when i use this board at work and dont have an actual mouse

[worldly garden]

u used the whole layer

now use the next one

there is 4

[young spoke]

yeah but id need 4 different FN keys

if i had a hhkb studio or a split

[worldly garden]

im a basic user tbh

lol

[young spoke]

how does bro use the arrow keys?

[worldly garden]

thats the second later

arrows in first layer

you know just buy a neo98 and svae all the troubles

[young spoke]

what does bros first layer look like?

[worldly garden]

like a normal keyboard

[young spoke]

how do you enable your layers

[deft wadi]

I just bought a GMMK3 Open-Box on Amazon from Glorious and while putting switches in noticed what could be a potential issue. It looks like it might be damaged. Does this appear to be damaged to anyone else? Should I send it back for a replacement? Thanks in Advance.

[young spoke]

if you have any spare switches id just test it before building it

[worldly garden]

right fn keys

M0 (1)

[young spoke]

oh i thought thatd be a rctrl

[worldly garden]

broken yeah

[worldly garden]

work like my fn key

u should return it

gmmk was never good lol

[young spoke]

i mean id test it first just to see if it does work

without any chattering or other silly things that is

[worldly garden]

it literally seperated from the pcb

[proven bone]

is the logi master worth a shot?

[chrome raft]

keyboards

[normal oyster]

how come for 27in 1080p monitors the price for low and high refresh rate ones (new) are so close to each other?

[chrome raft]

because 1080p

its been a resolution possible to achieve since like 2005 or 6

[normal oyster]

but why arent 60hz ones cheaper

tbh 1080p is not bad at all at 27in unless ur shoving ur face into it

(imo)

[proven bone]

What the

[nova cypress]

just shook mine...its the scrollwheel.. seems to be spongy to the right but stiff to the left

[proven bone]

a

maybe the magnet?

[chrome raft]

just buy the mx master 4 no balls

[chrome raft]

some are some aren't, depends on the panel.

[normal oyster]

ok

[normal oyster]

i have a g502 it does that

[bitter oar]

or pass logitech altogether

there are ambidextrous mouses from different brands and offrer better specs for cheaper

mx master 4 is also 125hz which is really bad

for office ig ok

but competition offrers 1khz or more

i'm not sure why logi decided to throttle mx4 so much

i guess another product segregation

[proven bone]

why does the logitech master have rubber skid pads instead of teflon x-x

arent even rounded just sharp edges

[bitter oar]

cheap ig

can’t find any other reason

[worldly garden]

does the OP looks like a gamer lol

they need an oficie mouse and mx master 4 í good for it

[bitter oar]

there are ambidextrous mouses with better sensor out there

cheaper as well

[worldly garden]

im not a logitech fan but yeah, those mx masters nailed it

alot of office workers use it

[bitter oar]

paying $100 for a mouse and getting some low end sensor that’s even throttled by logitech feels just meh, like yeah it saves battery but they don’t allow you to increase it

[worldly garden]

most buyers of that wont care, they cared about their solid design and those alu scrolls

is a cool mouse indeed

Also new monitor acquired

[bitter oar]

until you learn about m6 8khz

[worldly garden]

i dont need 8k hz to work with my excel thanks

[bitter oar]

8khz is a gimmick but the upgrades are there including an alu scroll wheel

you can always throttle it down to much more reasonable ranges that drain battery less

logitech limits you to 125hz regardless

[worldly garden]

and thats all most people who bought that mouse needs

they are heavy, not capable of being a gaming mouse but made the mouse feels more"premium"

[bitter oar]

for some people heavy mouses can be fatiguing

[worldly garden]

i know, they would buy anything but those mx masters

150 grams kek

[bitter oar]

the 8khz keychron is 30% less than mx 4

in price

the 1khz is 50%

and the lowest end with paw3311 (still prob better sensor wise but i don’t rec it) is 60% off

[worldly garden]

personally i enjoyed heavy office mouse

might buy if my mouse ever broke

lol

[trail bobcat]

Is this one a good keyboard (70€)

[void geyser]

it's broken

[void geyser]

no, they're crap, atleast before master 4, they break and the coating perishes

if you want a work mouse, ironically the g502x wireless would be a better buy

[proven bone]

already have it

also im using it for high sense gaming (~3 inch 360)

[chrome raft]

if money is an issue for you, maybe dont buy a new mouse. I will buy what I want

im buying it

[grim oyster]

Could someone send me a switch tester please? I need it just to pick what suits me the most so ik what to get and i finna return it

I cant find any in my country

Is just years of dedicatipn buying and getting them from meets lol

[grim oyster]

Nic

E

[neat zephyr]

For buying the switches later on you still need a card and 2-3 weeks lol

If you are picking blind just figure out the actuation force you like (you only need one reference for that, may be from your actual keyboard or from a friend. Then just research which switch it has, its actuation force, and think: would I like this to be lighter/heavier or is this perfect?) and for sound you can just listen online

[worldly garden]

What are you talking about dude

[magic wolf]

The battery that lasts longer than the average marrige id wager. Still. They could've at least made it like. A 1k hz obscure toggle somewhere where office Sue won't accidently click it and wonder why her mouse needs charging every 3 weeks

[magic wolf]

I know this is gonna sound stupid but it's for being quieter when bumping it into things

It's actually seriously over engineered. Not a cost cut. I disassembled a 3S to steal it's switches

[magic wolf]

Horizontal scrolling is hard to leave once you actually have workflow with it. That being said. Keychron m6....is not quite there yet.

The 8k revision is so close

[magic wolf]

After about 2 weeks the sorta "full palm" grip the ergo forces you into fixes it. If coming from a lifetime of slim mouse muscle memory though. Yeah it's gonna feel awful for a while

[void geyser]

you know you can hold shift to horizontal scroll right...

you don't need a dedicated button for it

/ dedicated wheel

[magic wolf]

Google sheets and Excel have many more operations bound with shift.

There's all sorts of ways to shortcut and macro all kinds of things, but I think it's fair to say freeing a modifier key is a pretty big boon

[worldly garden]

logitech m100

[void geyser]

???? you just need to press shift while you're scrolling huh

[magic wolf]

I know I may come off as a logishill but id recommend anyone interested in the MX the keychron m6 on software alone

Fkin logi options can't even run on a secure machine

[void geyser]

if you really want to you can re bind one of the buttons to shift on your mouse

or if you've got a mouse with scroll tilt, you can bount left and right to shift + scroll up or shift + scroll down

[magic wolf]

To you it seems so simple right? But have you actually daily a mouse with a horizontal wheel

M6 1k is like $40

Give it a shot

[flat dock]

To me horizontal scroll is quite annoying since its just a button, rather than an analog input like the vertical scroll

[magic wolf]

Yup. That's exactly what the horizontal wheel solves

It makes it intuitive

Its muscle memory instantly

[flat dock]

What

If I just wanted a button I would use the arrow keys (in most scenarios where it does the same)
Otherwise I prefer shift+scroll because it's smooth

[magic wolf]

Are you possibly mistaking what I mean for a horizontal tilting vertical wheel?

This is what you described just without shift

[flat dock]

I have one. I've had one for probably 10+ years now

It doesn't rotate sideways freely, its just a tilt you can hold down? In every horizontal scroll mouse I've ever seen

Is it able to roll horizontally? Or just tilt like a button almost

[magic wolf]

Nah this is a pretty high resistance smooth full 360 motion barrel

[flat dock]

you can roll it horizontally?

[magic wolf]

Yes

[flat dock]

You can't

What

I am so confused

[magic wolf]

Wanna see the mechanism?

[flat dock]

That doesn't look like it would geometrically work

If it rolled it'd hit the mouse buttons

[glad rivet]

All mx masters have had a freely spinning side scrolling wheel that works the same as normal scroll wheels

Except the other direction obviously

[flat dock]

I don't understand how that could be

[magic wolf]

The encoder lays flat instead of being on an axle like a vertical wheel

[flat dock]

OH

THERE IS A SECOND WHEEL

That makes so much more sense

[magic wolf]

Now he gets it

https://a.co/d/7cFvYeC

Try it

[flat dock]

I think you should've led with that because I'm guessing the other people above thought what I did

[magic wolf]

I don't blame you. I think there's only like 3 actually common mice that even have it (-revisions)

[flat dock]

I might be in the market for a new mouse at some point, but it seems like all modern mice have super high debounce and I can't use the double click technique thing

[bitter oar]

i think i’d save for the 3395 version

i’m not sure of the 3311

sensors as a whole

[flat dock]

Their website also lists a 3950

[magic wolf]

Is this where clicking towards the very top of the mouse let's you open a folder instantly?

[bitter oar]

ye that’s the 8khz version

idk what’s the lod of 3311 of the m6

[flat dock]

No, if you hit the button at the right speed then your finger jumps up and falls back down in one motion

[magic wolf]

Eh. Price of admission kinda thing. $40 to try something unorthodox is a lot easier of a pill to swallow than $60

[flat dock]

Two physical clicks but too quickly and usually get blocked on newer mice

[bitter oar]

it’s $10

difference

idk what’s the sensor performance of the 3311 ver.

[flat dock]

Would it be 'better'

Assuming someone's willing to spend $20

[bitter oar]

it has some upgrades, the 8khz is a gimmick

[flat dock]

which I am

[magic wolf]

Is that what this is called? Debounce? I've always ended up adding another layer between the housing and microswitch to get this

[flat dock]

Well probably not

[flat dock]

the software has a debounce delay (i.e. 4ms) where if it receives multiple clicks during that time, it only registers it as one

[bitter oar]

i mean that sounds like skill issue

[magic wolf]

So a firmware workaround for a faulty switch?

[bitter oar]

you have manuals for that

[magic wolf]

That's bs

[flat dock]

I mean you have to have some debounce, but IMO its too high

Surely my g502 Proteus spectrum has some but not as high of an amount

[magic wolf]

Right because how would you distinguish momentary

[flat dock]

Because anything mechanical will bounce at least a little for a tiny period

[magic wolf]

I guess this delay has generally been imperceptible to me

[flat dock]

but somehow it works fine on my g502, I never get ghost clicks

[void geyser]

I've dailyed a mx master

it's a piece of shit

[magic wolf]

It seems to use the same old leaf spring mechanical switch that any other does

[flat dock]

It's this

[flat dock]

The times where I double click, it turns it into one

[void geyser]

the vertical scroll doesn't really do much when you already know how to it even before the vertical scroll wheel

[magic wolf]

Indeed. Esp if you come home to something with a proper polling rate

[flat dock]

Its mouse abuse but i don't care

[bitter oar]

logi atleast should’ve allowed you to do 250hz

it’s a frkin $100 mouse

[void geyser]

that or just use a macbook

[bitter oar]

not too much to ask

[void geyser]

i think the worst thing for me is the coating

[flat dock]

what is this Bluetooth or something

[void geyser]

as with most things "rubber coated" it has an expiration date

[bitter oar]

also the mcu and they didn’t use the absolutely most efficient sensor ever

[flat dock]

because imagine using 125 hz mouse on a 240 hz display

I'm gonna kill the stupid double tap react feature

[bitter oar]

you can feel it even on a 60hz display

because of the syncing

[flat dock]

Yeah

the latency is bad even at 250 hz

[void geyser]

yeah fuck that

[magic wolf]

I think of it like....when you're binding a macro. Would you rather make another ctrl+shift among the hundreds more

Or....caps lock? Nah let's make that Fn2.

It's an intuitive accessible function.

[magic wolf]

WOW you really daily the 3S

I take it back

Impressive

[flat dock]

Is your hand made of acid wtf

[worldly garden]

Worth every penny indeed

[worldly garden]

Is mx master feature

[void geyser]

or hear me out, you're not executing macros as you're scrolling, just press the shift and scroll up and down to go left and right

[worldly garden]

They wears

[flat dock]

is it that kinda grippy texture

[magic wolf]

Nah 3S decided to be made of a material magnetically attracted to human skin oils

[void geyser]

That photo is not mine thankfully, but same thing happened to my original MX master

[bitter oar]

technically your skin does release a bit of le chemicals

[magic wolf]

Well I guess I'm glad that you haven't built a dependence on it

I can't say the same

[void geyser]

I'd even argue it's even worse for your thumbs

and your wrist

[flat dock]

counterpoint: MX ergo

[magic wolf]

There's a point where ergonomics becomes a fashion show and that's one of them

[void geyser]

I mean for work daily, i use a g305

for gaming I use attackshark r6/ r5 ultra

[flat dock]

why is it like Norwegian in the search suggestions when I search for g305

[magic wolf]

Aw yea we love china peripherals

[bitter oar]

the last logi mouse i considered to be fine

[magic wolf]

Not even being sarcastic

[bitter oar]

they’re innovative and cheap what do i hav to say

[magic wolf]

I use the American branded $100 version of this

[glad rivet]

My original mx master still looks fine after 10 years, just shiny

[flat dock]

That type of mouse shape is probably what I should try next

[void geyser]

I keep coming back to the r6, I've got it set to 4k hz, it's using optical switches, the MCU and Sensor combo is great, the firmware is decent

I feel like 8khz is wasted if you're still going to use mechanical switches

[bitter oar]

1khz is plenty for me

i just want good coating, good skates, non creaky shell

switches that aren’t too stiff or grindy implementation

[magic wolf]

Le pebble?

[flat dock]

No that looks huge and annoying

[void geyser]

try the r6 @bitter oar

shit so good i bought it twice

[worldly garden]

Cosearth

[void geyser]

it used to have a web driver, but now I downloaded a local one

[bitter oar]

i’m happe with my vxe r1 pro

[magic wolf]

Why not all of em

[void geyser]

oh a decent mouse too

[bitter oar]

the battery could be better tho, too smol

[flat dock]

eloshapes doesn't even have my specific mouse

[void geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-macska-cica-vomit-oklendez-gif-14738230240638170539

[magic wolf]

Ct210 tips baby

[void geyser]

bro's mouse too underground

[flat dock]

No its just old

I think shape is same as g502 hero

[void geyser]

I hate that iron and similar irons like it

[bitter gyro]

Yep, same very recently happened to my mx 3s. Wasn’t even 2 years old, but stupid rubber coating decided to start getting sticky.

Never again rubber on a mouse for me. Now Ive got a keychron m6 silent for work. No rubber surfaces anywhere on that but very similar shape. Only thing i miss is the mx’ scroll wheel

[void geyser]

same, i'm assuming you mean the inifnite scroll thing that logi has right?

[magic wolf]

Luckily JBC designed some tips that make the shittiest cordless irons viable

[bitter gyro]

Yep

[void geyser]

you can't escape physics

[magic wolf]

How much more viable do you need?

8 seconds of heat up time as opposed to 12?

[void geyser]

now i understand why some people were complaining about PS5 PCBs

[flat dock]

why does the keychron have that lump

[bitter oar]

tbh 3950 is overkill but lower optional lod and better efficiency is welcome for a lot of users

[void geyser]

no, there's a thing called heat soaking

when you use it on a PCB, the iron needs to put more heat into the piece that you're working with, these small cordless irons / usbc irons can't keep up most of the time

[void geyser]

ironically I use a higher LOD

as you go sub 1.0 it makes it more inconsistent

[bitter gyro]

Keychron M6 is a shape clone of the logitech mx master series. If you want a flatter style look at the M7
(Using that ones 8k version for gaming)

[bitter oar]

2.4mm is fine for me

3.6mm too high

1.2mm also fine

haven’t tried 0.8mm

[magic wolf]

When the heating element is in the tip itself this is mitigated. But you don't have much surface area to work with. Even K tip is barely half inch

[void geyser]

also this is coming from a person who has used tons of them, i currently run ts80p + power bank for my portable kit / precision kit then a plug in for home use

[bitter oar]

also what’s up with the paw 3395se

[void geyser]

surface area can help, but it legit just can't put in much heat

[bitter oar]

why is it everywhere

what is it really, like closest thing i found is that it’s some 3335 refresh

[void geyser]

think it's a slight upgrade to 3395

[bitter gyro]

M6 (foreground) vs M7

[bitter oar]

no

[magic wolf]

I bet this a nightmare on any PCB thicker than a fingernail

[bitter oar]

it’s a downgrade and definitely not a 3395

looks like something older that has been refreshed

[void geyser]

that's what i'm saying, I don't like cordless irons for this

most keyboard pcbs are 1.6mm thick

[magic wolf]

I can respect that take. Luckily haven't run into that yet

Gotten deep enough to look into a proper station tho

[void geyser]

I couldn't find my big iron and this was a bitch and a half to do

since the heat keeps wicking away on my ts80p

[magic wolf]

Essentially problem boils down to

Compensate for thick board with more heat = higher and higher chance your melt thru your pad

[magic wolf]

Right?

[void geyser]

no, your pad (assuming it's adhered correctly) shouldn't lift

[magic wolf]

Cold joint?

[void geyser]

no, sometimes the copper layers are not adhered properly to the fr4 substrate

[flat dock]

do you guys have irons with the element in the.tip instead of a heater core

[void geyser]

it depends from manu to manu, but cheap pcbs suffer from this alot, ie early modern boards like magicforce /rk61 they suffer from weak ass pads

[void geyser]

that would be an active tip, think my ts80p is one

[magic wolf]

Yeah after oxidizing the shit out of the all the tips with ceramic core iron we moved up to the sticks

[void geyser]

the alternative would be a passive heater

i prefer a good passively heated iron if I'm doing alot of work

if it's a quick solder job, your usb iron should work depending on what you're working with

[magic wolf]

Soldered switches. Man. Hotswap itself is already a long enough endeavour

Bet it's worth it

Stable

[void geyser]

hotswap is alright, i prefer it too, but sometimes you need solder to get weird layouts

[magic wolf]

Thinking of transplanting an air 75 board to a lowfree plate and case. That's not the hard part. Its the daughter boards I'm too timid pull the trigger on

Until I find an example of someone else doing it

[void geyser]

why tho

air75 is already good as is

[magic wolf]

Aluminum

Plus my air75 case is chipped after spudging it open like 50 times

Lowfree flow takes apart like youd expect

Oh yeah lowfree is also a proper gasket mount. Rare in low profile

[void geyser]

[worldly garden]

chinesium tourbillion machines aint tourbillion machines

thats like those replica luxury watches

meh

[void geyser]

cool either way but i still can't think of a good reason to get the nama

atleast with the freya it's visually unique and comes in nice colours + the nice porthole screen

the nama is just an overweight 75% with lumps

and a fake ass movement that doesn't do anything

[worldly garden]

is the mamooth 75 $100 yet

a tacky RGB wobbly strip at the back

That is so fucking disgusting

i want to buy a new mouse too i am not a competetive gamer i do editing a lot what would be and recommendation? (i am on a tight budget nothing more than 15)

[neat zephyr]

G203 is the minimum mouse I would truly recommend but its like $20 (maybe you can find it at $15 idk)
At $15 I would be looking at any generic mouse. Ofc theres the thing that, if a $15 mouse lasts you 1.5 years, but a $20 mouse lasts you 4, you are saving quite a bit in the long term

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boots_theory

Chat, I'm wondering if Titan Otemu red switches can be used on my RedDragon Kumara K552 keyboard

[worldly garden]

Depends on the pcb

Atk flagship carbon composite frame mouse

[tame thistle]

I saw that it's compatible with Otemu style switches, but I'm not entirely sure

[worldly garden]

How many holes they have

[tame thistle]

Two metal pins

And the big plastic one in the middle

[worldly garden]

Ok so they are 3 pin hotswap

If ur switch only has 3 pins it will be compatible

I just did it

They all work like a charm :D

Hi all, wanted to share my latest hyperfixation: the PinOne mini machine by Cleveland software design

If you enjoy messing around with sim racing hardware you’ll love the virtual pinball scene. The amount of effort the community puts into tables is insane.

[strong ermine]

what’s a good keyboard i use the rk 61 royal kludge atm

[bitter oar]

good cheap or good expensive

what’s your budget

[strong ermine]

£50 💀

[viscid hull]

If you play FPS some newer models have features that will improve your ability to strafe, my steelseries calls it rapid tap where A and D will overide by the last input

Banned in CS but not in others

[strong ermine]

i play minecraft roblox a bit of fortnite a bit of cod uhh

so

[viscid hull]

It's a firmware feature you may be able to emulate with software

But it would give an advantage in fortnite and COD

[bitter oar]

hey, that’s enough to buy a keyboard with full aluminum casing

[strong ermine]

i’ve used the rk61 royal kludge for about 4 years

different kbs tho

some have broke

i like the features

like holding fn to do slash

etc

[viscid hull]

The FUN60 Pro is in your price range and has the features I was talking about

[bitter oar]

search like qmk keyboard on aliexpress or aluminum keyboard if you don’t like any, gotta watch a 2025/2026 review for them though, keyboards outade quickly nowadays

i recommend getting a web software keyboard if not qmk

[viscid hull]

https://monsgeek.eu/products/fun60-pro-hall-effect-magnetic-keyboard

[bitter oar]

unless you’re fine with extra junk on your pc

[bitter oar]

these aren’t that good outside the tech

[strong ermine]

with the rk61 go to do ? i need to do shift fn and slash i like these features

is there any like tha

[viscid hull]

Only going off the optimum tech recommendation honestly, but haven't seen anything else under 50 pounds with snap tap and quick reset

[bitter oar]

@void geyser how good or bad is silakka 54?

[bitter oar]

yes the keyboard is good when it comes to technical stuff such as the switches
but probably not the rest such as sound, quality of materials

@strong ermine ricck rs8 could be cool maybe? cheapest tkl qmk kb i could find that’s probably easily accessible

[strong ermine]

can you link amazon gave me a £120 one lmfao

[bitter oar]

check on aliexpress

if i send you the link it will show you like £120 as well

there is also lemokey x series qmk stuff

and as of keyboards if you don’t need qmk, check the suggestions that have been made here

you should find some solid aluminum ones

i haven’t properly looked into keyboards for a longer time myself so you’re at your own sorry

anyways i think it stills works like this:
qmk ✅ quality materials ✅ hall effect ❌
qmk ✅ quality materials ❌ hall effect ✅
qmk ❌ quality materials ✅ hall effect ✅

on tight budgets

if you go tigther you won’t be able to do even two options

obviously that might have changed with some recent keyboard but i’m not aware

[strong ermine]

don’t know what qmk or hall effect means

[bitter oar]

some keyboards feature qmk chips that’s great for open source firmware/software

and hall effect works on magnet sensors that detect promimity, like you can set your keys when they trigger and when they reset

during their travel

[strong ermine]

i’m bout to just go with my rk61 again

keyboards evoked too much

evolved

[bitter oar]

i don’t recommend getting a new rk61

Thoughts on this as an upgrade? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FLM15Q5L/?coliid=I3KAQOCO3C9EQ5&colid=JGVMRHE4J3VW&th=1

[viscid hull]

IMO when you nail down size and panel type the next question is OSD/feature preference. Mine is MSI for their simple OSD and transparently labeled HDR modes.

Also happens to be the cheapest in this case, which is my next criteria

[vernal sleet]

Ok I roughly get it, any examples you can give so I can just help you help me? 😄

[void geyser]

split?

[strong ermine]

huh

[void geyser]

Well that board I was talking about with kven is a split keyboard, do you want split board recommendations as well?

[strong ermine]

no ide what that means

I just need a good keyboard 😭

[void geyser]

What layout, 75? 60? 65?

[strong ermine]

60 pref

[void geyser]

If you want hall effect, probably win60

or fun60

either of them have decent drivers

[strong ermine]

https://www.amazon.co.uk/EPOMAKER-WIN60-HE-Adjustable-Actuation/dp/B0DSFPVSHT?th=1

that one right?

[void geyser]

yep

but i'd probably go more for

https://amzn.to/49qaWRH

Metal Case

TMR, web driver, good switches

[strong ermine]

the black one isnt metal :brokn

💔

and my whole setup is black so 💀

[fickle pine]

Get Gigabyte G27Q2 EK (160eur) or M27Q2 EK (220eur)? Is the 80eur worth it? or get other monitor? (i'd want 27", qhd with decent hz, mostly used for video editing and gaming)

[neat zephyr]

the only upgrade would be the quantum dot. You decide if the added colour will be worth $80 for you.

If you can go to a store and check similar panels, one with QD and another without, then it can help you make a decision

[vernal sleet]

But yeah Id prefer a simnpler OSD, more of a set and forget person. I dont want to constantly be tweeaking RGB / gamma (these type of settings) or jump between loads of different modes based on what Im doing, I usually leave things as is, maybe afew settings get changed but by using guides or just what people recommend but struggle to find this specific thing.

On my current OLED Ive basically left brightness at around 60%, just being cautious about burn in, but Ive seen people run them much brighter. So just want the monitor to manage the settings itself if possible rather than having to constatly change them myself. I want HDR to work when it's on (havent actually used it at all on my current screen I dont think..) and SDR to look good when HDR is off.

Hello, i'd like to ask if anyone knows. but does the Apple Pro Thunderbolt 5 USB-C to C work on Android/Windows that support TB5 ?

[daring shard]

It should yeah

[tardy saddle]

It's just a Thunderbolt 5 compliant cable so it should work on anything that supports Thunderbolt 5.

[grizzled arch]

ah ok thanks guys, i was just wanting to make sure. i know apple requires "handshakes" witha lot of their peripherals, so i just wanted to make sure they didnt do that kind of stuff with their TB5 cables. thanks :)

[chrome raft]

what about it

[void geyser]

@worldly garden

So good i bought i twice

[worldly garden]

Whats up

[real lance]

Are there any modern PC cases that have personality & design and aren't just. Rectangles with glass panes? I love my old thermaltake, but it's pretty small and I don't really have room to cable manage

Idk if a case counts as a peripheral lol

[void geyser]

Lucky65

Got the lore accurate version in green

[worldly garden]

ohhh

i thought they use

dark green

like brg

[real rover]

Hi, I have this monitor "Acer Nitro XV275K P5", and due to the circular shape of the VESA mount area, it only supports 75x75mm VESA brackets, however I am legit unable to find any 75x75mm VESA monitor arms that have ONLY 75x75mm... What are the alternatives (sorry i was not sure where to put this)

[real rover]

i got only two spacers/standoffs with my monitor, will they be enough?

[glad sequoia]

anyone need some Portuguese RAM modules? insane!!!

[bitter oar]

PORTUGUESE OR BROKEN KNEES

portugal didn't want to go brazil but got pulled anyways

[glad sequoia]

??? Portugal is a european country, Brazil is south America

[balmy vale]

I don't know if anyone can even help, but I am interested in a new keyboard. I don't think I can afford one with hotswappable keyswitches, and I'm consistently being told MX Blues are utter crap by people. My current keyboard is a Cooler Master Masterkeys L with MX Blues, and it's showing its age. Problems are
1: I need Nordic layout keycaps so it has to be ISO
2: I want clicky switches
3: I want a 100% keyboard
4: I don't have money spare (having to save up for this keyboard) so it can't be imported to Norway, it has to basically be on sale here or at least in the EEA.
All things that represent a minority of keyboards on offer, a quadruple whammy

Oh and I also don't want low profile

[bitter oar]

brazil used to be a portuguese colony

was trying to make a joke

[forest marsh]

and Thomas Cochrane a scottish admiral that used to work for the royal navy liberated it from the portugese 🙂 and chased them over the atlantic picking them of one by one :p

[young spoke]

keychron v5?

then just buy some clicky switches

[strong ermine]

so

on my keyboard

one of my switches is cooked

like it wont work

or it will hold the button

i have the rk61

what switches would work

[young spoke]

is it hotswap? if no do you own a soldering iron

[strong ermine]

yeah its hot swappable

[balmy vale]

Looking up Keychron V5 that doesn't look like a 100% layout?

[strong ermine]

it was "a" that was broke

[young spoke]

any 3 pin switch will work (or 5 pin and you clip switches)

[worldly garden]

taske it out and plug it again

[strong ermine]

but i took the switch from my key next to l

[worldly garden]

check if the pins are bent

[strong ermine]

ive tried

[young spoke]

its 96%

[worldly garden]

agar soundtest ?

[balmy vale]

right, I specified 100%

[young spoke]

you lose 4 keys but save like $100

[strong ermine]

I spilt a drink on it didnt i I think i told you this this is why I was gonna order new keyboard

but it was working yesterday

[young spoke]

you are probably fucked then

[strong ermine]

now not anymore

[worldly garden]

save more or buy another slop

[strong ermine]

i think its a 2 pin 💀

[strong ermine]

i got 110£ for a kb rn

[worldly garden]

do u want a custom keyboard

[young spoke]

show socket?

[strong ermine]

on the pin theres 2 metal prongs

[balmy vale]

That's not very helpful. What do you mean I save $100?

[strong ermine]

like the switch

i pulled it ot

[young spoke]

i just looked

apparently they still sell the V6

[strong ermine]

my keyboards 2 years old so

[young spoke]

https://www.keychron.com/collections/keychron-iso-jis-keyboard-collection/products/keychron-v6-qmk-custom-mechanical-keyboard-iso-layout-collection

id recommend trying to find this at a local retailer and putting clickies in it

[balmy vale]

hm, I'd have to find somewhere that has imported it

[young spoke]

otherwise your mostly out of options

[balmy vale]

I'm not going to find anything mechanical but logitechs and razers at physical stores anywhere near me
