peripherals

[frank wharf]

sooo

I'm currently looking at the Endgame Gear XM2WE which was suggested to me on another discord server

it seems like it is perfect for the job

optical switcches, big mouse buttons and (a singular) review on youtube for minecraft in which the creator very obviously butterfly-clicks

hopefully I can get a good deal on it used and thats probably what im gonna be buying

[runic schooner]

My previous Razer products have been surprisingly resilient so it makes no sense for me to abandon them

I accidentally left a running soldering iron on my Razer keyboard and it still works near perfect

[umbral rampart]

Well regardless of my recommendation

[flat dock]

oh i got the basilisk v3 pro a couple months ago

thats nice

[daring shard]

Doesn’t mean it’s good

Most Razer products are pretty bad compared to other at the same price point

Just because they’re durable doesn’t mean they’re good

[night swan]

Razor products are in general kind of shit but really any gaming. Keyboard is kind of junk.

[brave night]

Can anyone recommend any split 60-70% keboards with HE switch support? Or an Alice layout even.

[night swan]

Prob Keychron

Split isn’t super common

I have a Split but it’s not HE

[brave night]

Not a big fan of Keychron, have 2 different ones - and they're just not good value for money anymore.

having a hard time finding (if there even are any) split or alice boards with HE

[night swan]

I think when you want something kind of that, no one makes value for money is kind of not the first concern

There are some custom PCB’s that allow to use HE

But really if you’re buying a hall effect keyboard, I assume it’s for the software so buying a random brand isn’t really a optimal choice

It’s why so many people use Wooting

There garbage but people like the software

[daring shard]

They are

But there’s no good split keyboards that aren’t like $150+

Keychron is the only good split keyboard

It’s like the Q2 I think lemme check rq

[night swan]

Even 150 is cheap

[daring shard]

Q11 is $235

Or Q10 is $215

[brave night]

I have one, it's the worst Alice board I've tried to date.

[night swan]

Usually, the budget recommendation for an Alice board is a neo ergo

But it’s not HE

[brave night]

Unless it's HE - not interested lol.

I already have 2 custom builds in SMKeyboards cases with sneakbox pcb:s

[daring shard]

Hmmmm

[bitter oar]

aliexpress has some alice keyboards (barebone)

[night swan]

I never understood the HE Crazy

But I’m not a pro gamer

[brave night]

same, but I wanna try it out, out of curiosity.

[night swan]

Last Alice board I looked at was like 800$ on Mech market

[night swan]

I’ve had HE and Sold it
It lives and dies by Software

And Currently Wooting and Keychron Win that race

[brave night]

My current board.

[night swan]

Not bad very Gameboy

[brave night]

I sure hope so!

it's PBTfans Atomic Purple keycaps.

GBA/GBC themed

[night swan]

I have 5 or 6 boards
No Alice Yet as I haven’t found one I like enough to drop the bag on

I have 1 PBT Fans Cap Set but normally go GMK

[brave night]

GMK is still the gold standard for ABS kits

have a few kits

but for PBT, PBTFans are great, they put out some bangers the past 12-24 months

[night swan]

Current Endgame MX

[karmic sleet]

should i get drunkdeer G75

[brave night]

noice! what switch you running?

(myself r/n: HMX Xinhai 45g)

[night swan]

Vintage MX Browns and a MX Lock

[brave night]

Soooo linears too, nice 😄

[night swan]

Also have a Board with Vintage MX Blscks with 90g springs

[brave night]

Maaaan, that's a workout and a half for your fingers

I prefer light springs, because I type so much for work - so my joints hurt when I go much heavier than 45-50g

[night swan]

I have 6 or so boards

Maybe 7

The 90g blacks are there own animal

[night swan]

That’s the 90g Board

[brave night]

I can’t remember what switches I got in most of these 😅

HHKB is topre so…

[night swan]

I keep trying to upload all mine but the Bot keeps triggering

But I used to have a Norbaforcr

I have a board with Pyga

[brave night]

I think I have a few more boards, but I didn't have pics of those lol.

[night swan]

I was never that deep I do need a Alice

Most my money is in records

[brave night]

I love Alice

she ''cured'' my wrist pain actually

even though it's not true ergo, the angle adjustment when typing was enough for me to not be in pain anymore 🙂

[brave night]

If you want something on a budget - but that can EASILY be modded to improve feel and sound. Monsgeek M6.

It's nothing spectacular - but it's alu, hotswap, pc plate - like $110-115

and can sound fantastic without spending too much more on modding

[worldly garden]

Thocc's neo87 lol

[night swan]

Ye

[worldly garden]

Ever thought of neo ergo

Or tgr dolice

Those are 150-300 budget

[brave night]

they HE doe?

[worldly garden]

Dont think so, i have never heard of any alice layout board supports HE

[brave night]

Then I don't want it 😛 Happy enough with my Sneakbox+SMKeyboards builds 🙂

[worldly garden]

Well i think one is focus for "gamers" while the layout for those who will work on their keyboaed for hours

[brave night]

As they say down in Mexico: Por que no, los dos?

[worldly garden]

[mortal spruce]

anyone got a good mouse recommendation that uses a webapp for rebinding the extra buttons and dpi presets? my g502 is starting to get kinda gross and now that I am on linux I don't wanna bother with piper or solaar atm and would just prefer something that works in a web browser like what keychron uses

I was looking at finalmouse but they don't got anything atm avalible

wlmouse looks nice but pricy

also the voice control seems to be chinese only and I only speak american so that feature would be ussless and also probably wouldn't work in linux depending on how it works

[night swan]

https://www.teevolution.gg/

[mortal spruce]

ooh that looks good thanks I wish all gaming mice now wherent the superlight mice I like a heavy mouse I am used to a g502 with weights in it

[brave night]

For as much hate and hype BS that they do.

Finalmouse is pretty damn solid. I keep going back every time I try and venture away from them.

Mostly because of the shape.

[young spoke]

how many right hands do you have?

[brave night]

Lamzu and Pulsar, I don’t think do webb apps yet? But they do good stuff..

[brave night]

All of them.

[young spoke]

do you use like 5 mice at a time

octopus style

[brave night]

One per toe

At least

[young spoke]

lmao

[brave night]

Nah, in all seriousness. This is my main.

Finalmouse ULX small

Shape and Huano Blue Shell Pink Dot switches for the clicks

My faves.

[brave night]

Noticed that Pulsar has a webapp now too (they didn't last time I used my Crazylight) so the Pulsar X2 Crazylight is a good option as well - the only thing I don't like about that mouse is the battery life. But you can run it with a nice flexible usb-c cable and a mouse bungee/bungie (or how ever you spell that) and it'll have zero cable drag.

[bold warren]

I wanna get the Fun60 Ultra TMR as my first hall effect experience. Is it a good keyboard and how's the quality seeing that it is way cheaper than a Wooting.

and also I'm getting the TMR one just so I can customize it more since it does allow support for 2 switch types.

[native abyss]

what should i look for in a desk to have my pc and monitor on top of, my current one is wooden and is like sunken down just from my monitor alone

[smoky valley]

do a metal desk and put a deskmat on it

don’t take that advice seriously

but tbh, a desk is something you shouldn’t worry too much about

[native abyss]

bruh

look at mine

[smoky valley]

holy

that desk is too thin

[native abyss]

u can literally see how its misaligned at the back

[native abyss]

is it?

[smoky valley]

iml

[native abyss]

i wanna put this on top

[smoky valley]

that desk is really only good for studying and nothing else

if u wanna go wooden, go thicker

like at least 2x

[night swan]

Brother that isn’t a desk

That’s like Cardbosrd

[native abyss]

?

[night swan]

Your Deak
It’s flimsy as cardboard

[brave night]

That aint wood. It's some particle board, and not even good particle board.

Idk what kind of budget you have or where you're located (country) but that desk will probably break if you try and put the PC and screens on it

So would recommend getting something else. Check Facebook marketplace even if you're low on cash etc.

[native abyss]

[mortal spruce]

I went to look and pulsar is currently doing a bruce lee colaberation XD

[brave night]

Yaaah, among other things 😄 They've done one with RandomFrankP too, transparent green. Looks sweet AF imo

[mortal spruce]

I am now temted to get the bruce lee mouse

[worldly garden]

[warped tinsel]

one day Ill build a custom one

but they pricy af

[brave night]

don't have to be

You can build custom/semi-custom anywhere from like $50-200

all depends on expectations, layout and parts picked.

[night swan]

What’s your most expensive

[worldly garden]

Pricey lol

[brave night]

Well that depends. Because I've had to import most things and pay a lot extra.

Except switches.

With imports fees and all for my most expensive...Maybe $550-600ish

[worldly garden]

Is not like 2021

[brave night]

The perks of mechs being ''figured out'' to a large degree

It's just gaming companies that can't figure that out (Razer, Asus, Corsair, Logishite etc)

[night swan]

Gotta get those numbers up

4 Digits or bust my G

[brave night]

True. But that don't include switches or keycaps and artisans.

[warped tinsel]

wdym when I tried to look to a build one like 6 months ago it was like 400 dollars cad

for the neo 65

[night swan]

That’s Robbery

I’ll sell you
My Neo70

For less

In Canada

[worldly garden]

Wtf HAHA

[worldly garden]

im glijg to buy a built qk65v2 with gmk for 130 usd

Today

[warped tinsel]

its like 200 dollars cad just for the board

[night swan]

I also have a QK65 I would sell built with Frankenswitches and sounds and types excellent

[warped tinsel]

idk maybe more like 300 cad in total

after taxes

[night swan]

I would sell either of those Without the Caps

As one set is GMk and other is a PBT Fans with all add on kits

[night swan]

If you are interested in either let me know

[worldly garden]

Vouch ^

[night swan]

But Neo65 is common on mech
Market

[worldly garden]

Cool canadian

[warped tinsel]

I aint trying to spend almost 400 dollars after tax

[night swan]

Pm

[warped tinsel]

not offense not really intrested in preowned stuff

[night swan]

Ok so your bitchy about cost

But also don’t like used

Checks out

Never mind then

With the way our market is 400 CAD is normal nee

[brave night]

If you want new and cheap, then the Rainy75 or Bauer Lite are two solid options imo.

Rainy is pre-built though, but can obv. be customized

[night swan]

Bauer isn’t in Canada

Due to import

[brave night]

Aren't there any vendor carrying it in Canada? 😮

[night swan]

It’s Omnityoes Exclusivr

It’s also poly carb

[brave night]

Yeah I know

[worldly garden]

Us do tariffs on canada now arent they

[brave night]

in the EU it's carried by Oblotzky

so would've expected Canada to have someone carry it there too

[night swan]

Always did

[warped tinsel]

most stuff for keyboards isnt in canada

[worldly garden]

Yeah no, you cant follow this hobby if u dont want to bothered with used keyboard

[night swan]

Nothing I want they still make

[worldly garden]

^

[warped tinsel]

I never said I was following the hobby I just wanted a nice board lmao elitists much

[night swan]

NEO products are fine but paying Retail is foolish as there 50% on used Market as people realize there like Babys First Custo,

a Neo70 with Switches is like 170 CAD

On MM

[worldly garden]

Then expect to pay a nice price, dont be cheap about it

[night swan]

QK65 I would sell for 150CAD

[worldly garden]

V1?

[night swan]

Yes

[brave night]

I don't think that's fair to say when you've been given several options by people, lol...

[worldly garden]

They are like $40 here

[night swan]

Canada Prices are always inflated

Mainly cause our Shipping is fucked

[worldly garden]

Atleast they dont go around and flipping vints

😂

[night swan]

Only 1 Guy we know has market cornered for VINTs

[warped tinsel]

even audiophiles have less barrier for entry than this stuff lmao where you can get good pair of headphones for a 100 bucks

[night swan]

That NEO70 and QK are nice builds to

Sound Really good and those Frankenswitches are excellent

[night swan]

U can get that level of Qualirty Keyboard for 100

Its all about what you want

Plenty of people here like Cheap stuff

[worldly garden]

just buy topre bro

[brave night]

Until you discover different domes

and springs

and silencing rings, and lubing the horrible stabilizers and dot dot dot (can't type more dots because the bot gets sensitive about it).

also need to drill into some boards to make room for MX compatible keycap sets

[smoky valley]

why does everyone like topre

[brave night]

the tactile feedback

[night swan]

You should have seen the topre board I traded and the one I sold

[pliant forge]

I’m considering buying a new PC and need recommendations for peripherals. I’m looking for a 2K monitor with around 144Hz. For the keyboard and mouse, I prefer wired options with the low input delay, RGB doesn't matter. For the headset, I want a wired model with good audio quality and a high-quality built-in microphone. Sorry if it sounds like a lot

[glad rivet]

Wireless peripherals don't actually have worse latency these days, unless they rely only on Bluetooth.
I think as a whole you'd have to be more specific than that, like budget for everything and if there are anything else you'd like or prefer over other things to get good recommendations

[late zinc]

You want a 2048x1080 monitor? Weird

[glad rivet]

Don't be a pedantic asshole

[late zinc]

https://tenor.com/view/yellow-emoji-no-no-emotiguy-no-no-no-gif-gif-9742000569423889376

[pliant forge]

I can spend 100-150 bucks for the keyboard, mice and headset, I don't really care if there is a dongle with the keyboard or mice or with the headset if that even exists.

For the monitor it's around 200, it's not a lot I know but I've spent around 1k for my PC

I could go to a HD monitor if needed

[glad rivet]

MSI G274QPF-QD seems like it could be a decent choice

[night swan]

Your not getting 3 nice items for 150
Headset , Mouse and Keyboard

Definitely not Studio Quality

At those price ranges just watch some tier lists on Youtubr

this seems like someone being too lazy to do their own research

It’d be different if someone said here’s the model I’m looking at. Does anybody have any suggestions or opinions?

[worldly garden]

@void geyser

guess the config

[pliant forge]

seems very good, thanks for helping me out

[void geyser]

definitely not HMX

PBT keycaps tho

not sure on the switch

[gusty palm]

how good is the keychron k2 HE

found a bargain at a local retailer for it

[umbral rampart]

https://www.rtings.com/keyboard/reviews/keychron/k2-he

[bitter oar]

what price?

[gusty palm]

$84, bundled with m3 mouse

[glad rivet]

Does anyone know if there's any other mouse with a dedicated middle mouse button, other than 3dconnexion Cadmouse?

[tardy saddle]

Yes - every mouse that has programmable buttons has multiple dedicated middle mouse buttons. 😉

[glad rivet]

Not quite the same... The location of the button on the Cadmouse is fantastic

But it's not as comfortable as an MX master

[tardy saddle]

Location of this button was not part of your original question, thus my point stands. If comfort and location of buttons matters, you'll definitely want to include very specific details about that when asking if other mice with similar features to an existing mouse do, in fact, exist. 🤷

Anywho, I'm with you in regards to comfort - if a mouse / keyboard / headset / chair are not comfortable for you to use, they're not really worth purchasing. 👍 Peripherals can be very nuanced, especially if they're something you use for multiple hours per day. If you already like the 3D Connexion CADmouse, why are you looking to switch?

[glad rivet]

I forgot this was the internet...

[tardy saddle]

Eh, it's less "the internet" and more about asking good questions. The more information one includes when asking, the better people will be able to help! It's what I tell the employees at work: help the IT team help you - provide as much information as possible, and we can likely solve your issue in one ticket response.

But yeah, are you looking to replace this 3D Connexion CADmouse with something different because ... it has some weird software bug or something?

[glad rivet]

I mainly look for options to the Cadmouse as it's lacking in availability for the wireless version and side scrolling, paired with the ergonomics being less than ideal due to my hands being to wode or something making my pinky get in the way of the mouse

[tardy saddle]

Ohhhhh it's one of these mice - I haven't seen one in a long time! Wider than normal, and has 3x buttons instead of 2x, which makes sense when you're using a middle mouse button in CAD / 3D editing software all the time. Off the top of my head... I don't know if any of the major brands make 3 button mice anymore, so this is likely going to be a challenge.

[tardy saddle]

Looks like 3D Connexion is the recommended option for mice with dedicated 3 buttons, otherwise people are indeed choosing the Logitech MX Master series or Logitech's Gaming series mice that have extra programmable buttons. For example, my G502X Lightspeed has 2x programmable buttons on top, 2x on the side, and then a "Sniper" button by my thumb. It's not as wide a mouse as the MX Master or 3D Connexion, but all of these buttons could be programmed as Middle Click.

[glad rivet]

Well thanks, I guess I'll need to experiment a bit

[tardy saddle]

Yee. Experiment, or see if any electronics stores near you have mice on display. You might find a completely different model fits your hand / needs perfectly once you hold it.

Ok rich guy

I would definitely have the funds to easily buy myself a brand spanking new mechanical keyboard without it leaving a massive wallet crater

[last sequoia]

Does anyone know where to get a reasonably priced thunderbolt 4 dock station dosent need a lot of ports

[smoky valley]

well, we can replace the stabs if it’s hotswap..

[void geyser]

Lowkey sounds not nice

It sound chattery

We ball

[worldly garden]

Dude is a rainy75

Not a werkpne solaris

[misty juniper]

Is the logitech g pro x superlight 2 dex about the same size and shape as the razer deathadder?

[tame thistle]

I'm actually unsure about that bit. The stabs are supposedly under the faceplate

Tho I guess it's supposed to be like that. Sorry, I'm still new to this whole thing

[smoky valley]

is it hotswap tho

if it is, it's worth to check if the stabs are too

[tame thistle]

Well I'm more inclined to a DIY fix than a replacement cuz I already spent so much on the keyboard itself

[smoky valley]

yeah, then open the board up and see what's there

[tame thistle]

Eh... I'm scared of removing my switches all over again 🙃

I replaced its old blue switches with red ones

Keycaps too

Your gonna have to go to Alli Directly

At the 100$ Range though a prebuit vs custom is same thing

[fervent breach]

from being bullied by ur cousins?

[fervent breach]

it’s not that hard

[brave night]

possible it had something to do with it

you have to invest time

[night swan]

Feel free to send some links

[flat dock]

that's how you get cheap stuff in anything

its a job

[night swan]

Because even on the Chinese buy sites, they’re not that cheap anymore

[fervent breach]

im not wasting my time finding an 87u for u lel

[fervent breach]

they are

don’t know what to tell u bro

i got hipro for cheaper than 250

[flat dock]

cheaper than 250

[fervent breach]

i love cheap things

like the panasonic let’s note cf-nx4

what a machine

[flat dock]

there's a neo60 core on mechmarket for $135

Neo stuff is like new car depreciation

[flat dock]

barebones though

[flat dock]

how so

[night swan]

I missed on a Champagne Ergo the other day

[night swan]

has no secondary value

you lose alot after buying it

[flat dock]

That doesn't match what I've seen

[fervent breach]

same with every mx lal

[flat dock]

it seems to keep most of its value

[night swan]

Its decent stuff

[fervent breach]

except like keycult MAYBE

[flat dock]

I should probably just buy it new since they still sell the neo60 core

its almost the same price I just realized

[night swan]

I need to sell my Neo70

[fervent breach]

buy it new in the same sentence as keyboard is crazy

[brave night]

Buying any peripheral as an investment or expecting appreciation in value has always felt a bit silly to me

i don’t do that

@flat dock do you use vim

You need to start getting on irc

[fervent breach]

it’s not set in stone yet but what i do plan on doing is

[fervent breach]

no bro

i only communicate through email and irl meet ups now

i’m the ultra schizo

[flat dock]

Not good

everything is mid

[fervent breach]

why did u use c++

for work or something

[flat dock]

fixing some waybar bugs

[fervent breach]

bro uses standalone bar

i have to flex how cool i am

[flat dock]

as opposed to what

[fervent breach]

no bar

or awesome bar

[flat dock]

Any x11 bar from a protocol perspective is a standalone bar 🤓

even a separate process I bet

[flat dock]

what possesses you to do this

how do you tell what workspaces there are

[fervent breach]

well if the wm draws it with like

idk xlib functions

would you consider it standalone

[fervent breach]

i just remember

to be honest i try to stay on 1 workspace because my workflow unironically fucking sucks and i should probably be using a bar

[flat dock]

Was that supposed to be a built in bar for awesomewm or what

[fervent breach]

awesomewm provides wiboxes and shit

which i have to assume they just draw with xcb

and u make bars from them i think i don’t really remember

so i would call that a built in bar

[flat dock]

yeah but technically it is standalone because its another window

you don't get to do it top down like if you were just a compositor like you could be on wayland

[fervent breach]

i don’t think they draw windows

i think it’s XDrawRectangle

[flat dock]

everything in x11 is a window though

[fervent breach]

i do not think so

[flat dock]

.pretty sure everything these days

[fervent breach]

from my limited experience with xlib i am 99% sure rectangles and windows are very different

[flat dock]

I highly doubt any program you're using today is manually rendering using xlib

maybe something from 20 years ago

[fervent breach]

i wrote a window manager a while back

and then never released it

[flat dock]

but now you have actual 3d rendering libraries like cairo or opengl

[fervent breach]

the window manager definitely uses xlib / xcb

[fervent breach]

3d window manager

wayfire

[flat dock]

Not quite what I meant by 3d

[flat dock]

But not for drawing windows and text and stuff

[fervent breach]

?

it does lol

XDrawText

[brave night]

https://tenor.com/dQL8qBDEFi2.gif

[flat dock]

you draw stuff yourself

[flat dock]

I don't think that anything modern uses that

at the very least none of the toolkits do

[fervent breach]

window managers do

😭

[flat dock]

that's insane if true

But I doubt it

[fervent breach]

what

dude read awesomewm source or something

or dwm that’s easier

i literally wrote my own wm

[flat dock]

Why specifically awesomewm

[fervent breach]

i promise u im not full of larp

[fervent breach]

it draws a lot of decorations

[flat dock]

but that doesn't really involve the same things

[fervent breach]

but i think dwm has built in bar

so

[flat dock]

maybe for the decorations I could understand it

[fervent breach]

what

same things as what

[flat dock]

writing a wm is a little different than writing a compositor

[fervent breach]

we’re not talking about compositors though

they’re very different yes

well i did mention wayfire as a joke

[fervent breach]

there’s also dmenu which probably uses xlib because suckless

https://git.suckless.org/dmenu/file/drw.c.html

[flat dock]

It must be a difference with this ultra minimal stuff

[fervent breach]

every xorg window manager ever uses xlib/xcb

well that’s a lie

most do

the ones that don’t probably just use a binding of it

[flat dock]

I'm only talking about the rendering being xlib

mainstream DEs usually put the panels and stuff as separate parts

instead of the wm creating a window to draw it with xlib directly

[hallow sable]

Got the skin for my steam controller

it’s quite commonplace to run other stuff like bspwm under kde’s shell

Thinking about buying myself a g pro x superlight 2 dex . Are there any problems with it that i should know about beforehand?

[worldly garden]

you should know that chinese mouse beat the heck out of that mouse

[brave night]

Just get a good mouse instead. Like something from Pulsar, Lamzu, Endgame Gear, ATK, WLMouse

[misty juniper]

They're all more expensive than the g pro in my region

And the g pro is at the top of my budget

[brave night]

Where's that? don't need get too specific - because I've never seen Logicrap be cheaper than actually good brands. Like, ever 😅

[misty juniper]

Local store in denmark

[brave night]

Bruuuuh, I'm your northern neighbor (Sweden), and Logitech is always more expensive here.

How much is the mouse for you down there?

[misty juniper]

750 dkk

But it's on discount

[brave night]

So it's the old model then? not the 2 or w.e. they call it

[misty juniper]

Superlight 2 dex

[misty juniper]

Normally it's 1300

[brave night]

Interesting, that's usually selling for 1700-2k here

so pretty much the same as 1300-1400dkk

I mean, I still wouldn't get Logitech - they've not been good since the first G Pro Superlight IMO

[final geyser]

looking for a high quality mouse, no known double clicking issues, and on amazon, budget of around $100 or less preferably.

my dareu a950 pro keeps double clicking no matter what I do and it's gotten extremely annoying. thanks for anyone who replies

[brave night]

ATK A9 Air
ATK F1 V2
Ninjutso Sora V2
Lamzu Atlantis Mini 4k

those are solid options, and usually available around that price.

This is slightly over budget, but a very good option IMO, Pulsar Crazylight X2: https://www.amazon.com/Pulsar-Gaming-Gears-Crazylight-Lightweight/dp/B0DVXD49L8?sr=8-1

[final geyser]

thanks ill probably go with the pulsar, i know some friends said their mice are great

i have semi big hands tho so idk which of the above will be the best for that

[brave night]

All depends on grip style really.

I'm not a tall person - but I prefer smaller mice

the medium would be more similar to what most people are used to, I would assume

but I like the OG (the small, which came out first of the two size options)

do believe the small sells more too - but not gonna swear on that.

[final geyser]

i wonder what the difference between the ATK A9 Air and the ATK F1 V2 are, i assume ones lighter

[brave night]

https://www.eloshapes.com/mouse/compare?p=atk-f1-v2-ultimate-vs.-atk-a9-air

[final geyser]

thanks

the issue with my current mouse is it either double clicks, or if i drop it slightly (6 inches in the air), itll right click 😭 i wonder if their are any fixes before i press order

[brave night]

Solder on new switches

[final geyser]

i fixed it with a little piece of tape

❤️‍🩹

still gonna prob buy a new mouse though

[night swan]

I have a Terra teevolution.

I don’t recommend

[brave night]

had the Logicrap that they based the shape on - had to send it in for a replacement 4 times in 12 months (this was in like 2017-2018 or so)

double clicks, losing connection to the dongle...

can't be worse than that, can it? 😅

[night swan]

No, it’s a fine product. I’ve just had issues with the 8K dongle showing up randomly as an unrecognized USB device and it also doesn’t track properly at 8K in hyper land but my buddy doesn’t have any issues so I might just have a bad example I got mine during the kick starter

[brave night]

Ooooof

[night swan]

Does come with a standard USB dongle for 1K polling you also get increased battery life this way I just feel as though I paid for the extra features I want to use them but it definitely feels like there’s some quality control problems now the ones you buy today might be better as far as the shape and the weight go. It’s fantastic.

[brave night]

Fair enough.

I run mine at 2k polling anyway - because I heard enough people say that was a good balance for some increased performance

without sacrificing too much else

[night swan]

Retired gamer now I daily drive an MX master four and I have a 13 button coarse mouse if I decide to wanna play wow again

[brave night]

I'd rather have an MX clone than give Logicrap any more of my hard earned sheckles 😛

[night swan]

Fair enough I don’t use there software

Especially on MAC

[brave night]

Do they not have a web app yet? 😮

[night swan]

The app on Mac cost you like two hours of battery life because it doesn’t let deep sleep

So I just use linear mouse, all the same functionality none of the bloat

[brave night]

Lulw

Yeah I'm gonna go from Logicrap to fully calling it Logishit now.

no holding back 😂

[night swan]

All the giants are falling

Hence why it’s Microslop

Folks only use it nowadays out of comfort

[brave night]

I only use it because some games I still can't run reliably on something else. Some games work for a while - then when either the game updates or there's a big update for the distro, something breaks and can't be fixed (but then might work again in a later update)

and I don't wanna deal with that 😅

that's expensive even in china

i have the monka m3 rn

it's really suitable

[fleet thistle]

Hey guys, any recommendations for a good, full-size, wired mechanical keyboard? Keep getting bogged down in Amazon reviews.

[night swan]

Keychron

I think do a wired

[daring shard]

Lemokey x series for cheaper alternative. Keychron K4 HE or keychron C2 pro

[daring shard]

Hmmm

Maybe like Mchose M7 then

Might be kinda like tall tho

So Mchose L7 pro should be shorter

[smoky valley]

yeah i do prefer that

might pick up the plus versions though as i think the normie version may be too small

[fleet thistle]

TY!

[lusty oasis]

We need more mice with fourty three buttons on the side. I want option, dammit.

Even better, more wireless mice that take double-A batteries. I use recharable double-As. I hate having pointless Li-Ion batteries that are made to be difficult to replace in everything.

Even better, both of those things in one.

Anyone know of a good monitor arm ( preferably a clamped desk one) for a monitor this size (https://www.argos.co.uk/product/7638248 )

[night swan]

I use https://a.co/d/06r4yzHG

[daring shard]

The keyboard is ass: the steam deck is fine

[untold orchid]

well i mean that depends largely wether you want to move it around or have it completely static

because if you dont move it at all getting a generic static arm is much cheaper than getting one with a gas spring and also if your desk is right against a wall they wouldnt work out well anyways

[smoky valley]

uh, get an OLED if there’s one for the price

if not then, ask other people

[magic wolf]

Dude that monitor is 8kg. Virtually all monitor arms will handle that easily

So don't over spec on a monitor arm. Because you will never be able to stop it from springing up to its max height and tilt

[bitter oar]

don’t also underspec on a monitor arm

cheap ones tend to come loose, some have really basic mechanism like sometimes just friction, tend to break like the soft padding stuck to the metal that make contact with your table so the clamp doesn’t make grooves on your table which can come sliding off if they use a shitty or impractical adhesive

the list goes on up to your monitor crashing down because a spring decided to yeet itself

yes very unlikely but… it’s not like i haven’t experienced the first three mentions

[harsh dawn]

Looking for recommendations on a handshake grip mouse -- not logitech (I despise their G-Hub and Logi Options software; I shouldn't have to create a Logitech account or get on the Internet to use the extra buttons on my mouse)

Minimum 5 buttons + a scroll wheel, more buttons are better

[smoky valley]

is handshake grip like palm grip or smth

[harsh dawn]

“Vertical”? Idk. Like this.

[smoky valley]

mx master doesnt need g hub i think

[harsh dawn]

https://www.logitech.com/en-us/mx/master-series.html
MX Master uses Logi options. Just as awful. The Logitech hardware is good but I’m not dealing with dumb cloud nonsense for a peripheral.

[bitter oar]

the hardware is bad*

125hz polling rate

purposeful obsolecence so you also buy their gaming gear

[harsh dawn]

I mean I am not gonna disagree … but my trackball mx ergo is at least decently built. But the shitty software put me off Logitech products forever regardless so same result.

[bitter oar]

they’re not pouring love into their products, just marketing

nowadays

[harsh dawn]

Yup

[bitter oar]

maybe 10-20 years ago

[harsh dawn]

I mean it’s not difficult to make a five button mouse which doesn’t require special software but ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[bitter oar]

there is the recent mouse that support custom actuation though

might save them for me

[harsh dawn]

Custom actuation?

[bitter oar]

but they’re not the first to have that

yes

[harsh dawn]

What is

[bitter oar]

x2 super strike

altough it’s going to be the first mainstream option that’ll be available basicly everywhere

i can give them that

[harsh dawn]

Ahhhh yeah I … don’t need that lol

I just want something which hurts my wrist less 😭

[bitter oar]

keychron has, but their bq is questionable

prices are better though than logi

[harsh dawn]

I see their handshake grip mouse — looks nice — it says there’s an “online” customizer? Happy to not install something so I guess it what… uploads a customization to the mouse?

[harsh dawn]

Questionable how?

[daring shard]

Keychron mice are pretty bad

[harsh dawn]

How so?

[daring shard]

There’s better for the price

And keychron focused more on keyboards and doesn’t put much effort to mice

Which is good

Cuz they’re keyboards are good

It’s very hard to have good keyboards and mice at the same time

[harsh dawn]

… such as?

[daring shard]

Well what’s your budget

[harsh dawn]

Under $100. Want a handshake grip mouse and NOT Logitech. Minimum five buttons an no cloud account nonsense required for configuration.

[daring shard]

Handshake grip? Like vertical?

[harsh dawn]

Wired + wireless ideally. It’s gonna live at my desk and I don’t really need something with a battery

And I don’t really need wireless if I am being honest

[daring shard]

mx vertical the best you’re going to get

Why don’t you want Logitech

[harsh dawn]

Logi options and g-hub suck ass. I shouldn’t need an ACCOUNT to configure my hardware. Poor to nonexistent Linux support. Poor Mac support.

I’m not going to entertain any suggestion of Logitech

[daring shard]

Then Keychron M5 prob

Logitech has the only real good vertical mice but I get why you wouldn’t want one

[bitter oar]

they have ergo mouses

yes their non ergos are not worth it

[daring shard]

I just meant compared to the competition

They are decent

But Logitech kinda dominated the vertical mouse market

[bitter oar]

their ergo mouses are competitive

[daring shard]

Ehhh

[bitter oar]

what is then

[harsh dawn]

Well fwiw I go tmy keychron today and I like it overall.

The side scroll wheel has an odd sticking point, but that's my biggest complaint

For context, my old Razer mouse also did the same thing out of the box so 🤷

[chrome raft]

ergo sucks

[harsh dawn]

So does carpal tunnel & tendonitis 😂

[bitter oar]

logitech is intentionally holding their ergo mouses back

[harsh dawn]

Logitech is intentionally making shitty configurator software which requires an account so they can harvest your data.

THere are zero reasons why I should need to give a company my personal information in order to fully utilize the product I have purchased.

TBF I really like the hardware on the ergo mx trackball (I forget the exact model name), but the software is dog water

[bitter oar]

125hz polling rate lol

you could argue it saves battery life

[brave night]

Logishit likes living in the past.

[bitter oar]

but then they don’t use the most power efficient mcu + sensor

also they don’t allow you to increase the polling rate to something bit more reasonable like at least 250hz

[bitter oar]

i mean their profit margins say otherwise 😂

marketing sadly works

buut gotta mention the x2 super strike

[brave night]

yes, marketing and people accepting shit - too many e-sports team and youtubers/influencers sponsored by them, and it sadly sells.

[harsh dawn]

*shrug ig the other thing that frustrates me is that finding a wired mouse or kb is a paaaaaiiin in the backside. Sure 2.4ghz USB and BT but nothing beats the signal integrity of a freaking wire. The thing is gonna live on my desk in reasonable range if a USB port. It doesn’t need a battery and if the cable is half a step about garbage tier it won’t be an issue to me.

The larger brands (Logitech, razer, uhhhhhh idk) all seem to only want to make wireless ones but I’ve had big issues with interference and bad signal which have always been saved by an actual wire

[brave night]

I've been on either a Pulsar, Lamzu, Finalmouse (for mice specifically) since...I think 2019-ish, all wireless, never had an issue what-so-ever.

[harsh dawn]

My old razer black mamba wireless bits broke but it works fine wired. If only I hadn’t put it in deep storage somewhere

[harsh dawn]

I’ve had some that were ok most of the time but eventually some thing would happen where I’d get effectively like a 15hz response time. Multiple brands of wireless mouse (50% Logitech maybe). Maybe my power is noisy or my house is radio noisy idk

[brave night]

I've lived in 4 different apartments since then - and it's never been an issue for me - and they work at 1k polling when plugged in.

I got a very soft paracord style cable in a mouse bungee for when I wanna use and charge at the same time too.

[harsh dawn]

Oooo that’s neat

[brave night]

I have one for my mouse charging cable and one for my keyboard (which is wired, because when I was most into building custom keyboards, wireless + battery was a hassle to import and had a much higher price tag).

Love that bungee!

Using my old phone as a glass cockpit

[smoky valley]

which one makes better mouse switches, kailh or omron?

[brave night]

huano

[smoky valley]

what if theres no option

for huano

[brave night]

Seems like a you problem 😉

[smoky valley]

i’m ngl yall give horrible advice

[brave night]

ngl, I don't want to recommend things that I find to not be good.

[smoky valley]

tldr omron bad kailh bad?

[brave night]

to me, yes, yes they are.

[smoky valley]

does that mean scyrox v8 is a bad buy

cuz 1. shape good, 2. high perf

looks like an endgame mouse to me

[brave night]

Never tried a Scyrox so I couldn't say. But I simply don't like them Omron opticals.

the click feel is horrendous to me, and they sound hollow in every mouse I tried with them specifically.

but it has a good sensor, so if you don't care about sound and feel in your clicks, go for it.

Looks like a Logishit Superlight clone in shape? no? and I know people seem to like that shape.

[smoky valley]

would the VXE R1 be better? it has huanos but a small sensor downgrade and huanos

specifically the pro max

[brave night]

Where does it say what switches it's got? I can't even see it on their own store.

[smoky valley]

i’ve realized the pro max uses kailh, well, is the pro a better buy then, in your opinion? @brave night

[brave night]

The R1 pro can be had with huano pink berry, no? if I read that chart right.

[smoky valley]

ye

[brave night]

Personally, I'd go with that if those were the mice I was chosing between.

[smoky valley]

ic

thx for the input

i think the 3395 and 3950 don’t have that big of a difference too right?

[brave night]

tracking is 100 IPS higher on the 3950 - so it should be more accurate

if you can notice it, I couldn't say tbh

I've got 3950:s in all my current mice I own so can't do a comparison r/n.

like if I can feel a difference myself.

I think there's also some difference in dpi and lift-off distance etc. but idk anyone playing games a lot that's over 1600 DPI anyway so 🤷

[smoky valley]

true, so the difference is not as big as the marketing makes it out to be

[brave night]

Likely not, no

not for us commoners

[smoky valley]

right, ic

thanks a lot

[daring shard]

Scyrox v8 is good

Mchose k7 is better tho

[smoky valley]

why are you recommending a mouse that is expensive even in china

that thing costs as much as a keychron

[daring shard]

I didn’t know it was expensive in china

It’s as much as a scyrox v8 here

[smoky valley]

in tb it’s like 367 yuan

[daring shard]

Well like $10 more

Idk china market

oh wait wtf... 140 bucks shipping?!

[late zinc]

Well it is ~600mm by ~60mm + box padding so not surprising

And probably not light

[flat dock]

I have those exact same keycaps right now!

Neat

[night swan]

Not my favourite set but not my least favorite

Might move back to WOb

[brave night]

WoB just always works

[night swan]

Pretty much

[brave night]

Don't matter what other colors your board or setup is IMO

WoB will just work.

[fervent breach]

wkl so good

\ key being accent is weird tho

[void geyser]

stacked alice

I actually have one too

[brave night]

Yeah, acrylic/stacked is probably my favorite sound profile.

This one (and my 2nd one too for that matter 😅 ) is an SMKeyboards case.

bought them a year or so apart, different plates, one is POM and one is Petg

[void geyser]

got a switch couture one

with Gateron aqua zilents

[brave night]

Was choosing between the two at the time, but had more color options with SMKeyboards back then and official support for PCB:s I already had.

[smoky valley]

hmm, keygeek mz y3..

[night swan]

WKL just hard with a tiling WM

[flat dock]

$mod = lalt

[night swan]

Thats a Viable Option

I Normally have Right Alt as Super as thats what my Keyboard Programming is but I suppose that could be a option as well

[rugged grove]

Hi, so I'm gonna be buying a monitor (1440p ~180Hz) soon, and my options so far are basically between:
24 inch vs 27 inch

Both are HDR 400 and the 24 inch has 1.07 billion colors as supposed to like 36 million on the 27", but idk if that even tells which has better colors

The 27 inch claims it has anti blur technology but the brand is ABS which I don't know so idk if that really means anything

But my main concern is the size. I've only had a 27 inch before, and I know the ppi is gonna be higher on the 24 inch but will I lose immersiveness in AAA games even if I sit closer?

Also maybe there's a way to tell which panel has better colors or smt?

[tardy saddle]

For best results, always link to the product listing you're planning to buy so we have concrete specs to compare against. If you're not buying online, at least list the exact make and model of each product. I say this not to be rude - providing as much information as possible goes a long way to helping us help you!

[rugged grove]

Ofc, thanks for pointing it out

Quite a list huh

The only one of these I would even bat at eye at purchasing is the ASRock one. I cannot recommend buying off-brand (read: dime a dozen rebadged junk) tech items due to lack of warranty support should something go wrong. (Not saying it will go wrong, but you do get what you pay for, within reason.)

If you're just beginning your search, I recommend reviewing RTINGS "best" guides, if only to get a feel as to what you should look for when researching monitors so you can make an informed decision.

[rugged grove]

Thanks a bunch. I'll look into it

There's also an AOC mini-LED on alibaba for $200 that I'm considering but it's a lil higher in price obv 😂

[tardy saddle]

For sure, happy to help point in the right direction. As with anything, take the marketing claims with a big bucket of salt. Manufacturers make all kinds of "1 billion colors" and/or "anti-blur technology" claims without actually explaining anything about how these are achieved. Also, if you want to learn the different between panel types (aside from OLED), BenQ has a great article on this. https://www.benq.com/en-ca/knowledge-center/knowledge/how-to-choose-between-tn-va-and-ips-panels-for-the-games-you-play.html

I'm partial to IPS panels, only because they hit the sweet spot between expensive OLED displays and lower quality VA/TN panels, but also... I do a mix of office work / photography / gaming, so take your use-case into account as well.

So I bought this one, but I got it ditectly from the KTC website with a coupon from coupert, and for some reason they don't collect Tax so I ended up paying $165 total even tho the pre tax price is $180 😌

The specs look real nice too

[deep barn]

Aorus CV27Q or Acer Predator XB271HU Bmiprz or Gigabyte G2QC all at a similar price which one should i get ?

[daring shard]

Specs doesn’t determine if a monitor is good or not

Specs can’t show color accuracy and contrast
