[glass bear]

if you have apple just get airpods

[snow briar]

[glass bear]

sheesh

i was seriously thinking about the cerapad but decided against it

[neon root]

i bought it

$45

free shipping

[glass bear]

cant have a mousepad

that costs more than my mouse

[neon root]

more mousepads for me to try out

[glass bear]

would be a bit silly

[neon root]

i have that mousepad and another mousepad on the way and then some sapphire skates as well on the way for me to try out once i find a mouse for me to try them on

[glass bear]

have you tried the cerapad yet

[neon root]

nope

thats why i bought it while its on sale

$45

vs the like $80 that it was at

[glass bear]

ah yeah

[neon root]

gonna save the sapphire skates for the la-1 superlight or some other mouse

too much stuff to buy

[glass bear]

smh

how can you be so

well it is a hobby

i still cant decide on a mouse and its been months 💀

if you have an x2 lying around llmk

[glass bear]

ngl @neon root looking back the series one pro was

a really good mouse

[neon root]

the glorious mouse?

its alright, just annoying that they released a slightly better mouse like 2 weeks after that

or was that mouse the one that was released after

idk

but spec wise it was fine, just price point, group buy, the time of when theyd ship it out and stuff was what bothered a lot of people

also in part of how i can afford or at least be able to buy mice and mousepads from time to time is just due to my current living situation. got no bills to pay or anything other than apple music and amazon prime

im not spending my entire check every time, i am saving, but decent portion goes to hobbies

would be nice though to have connections for companies to just send me stuff or at the least for reviews

[gaunt forge]

You could always get a darmoshark

[glass bear]

i think the series one pro was the better mouse

first they released model o pro right

[neon root]

something like that

one or the other

the one they released second was good, just dumb that they released it like that with no announcement or anything screwing over everyone that bought the previous group buy

[glass bear]

ye ye

im almost considering it because its apparently a viper mini clone

and the delux isnt gonna be lighter than like 65g

[placid smelt]

Hi i have my airpods pro connected to my pc via a bluetooth dongle but i cant hear any sound

[glass bear]

click speaker in bottom right

and change it

if you havent

[placid smelt]

lol i done troubleshooting now i have no audio drivers

how do i install them again

[glass bear]

motherboard website?

[neon root]

@glass bear have you seen these? i kinda want to buy one but at the same time i have no idea if the qc is even gonna be good or if its just a scam.
$38 for f1, $46 for f1 pro and $53 for m1 pro max

f1/pro is 49g
f1 pro max is 55g

pro and pro max can do 4k polling

f1 pro has nordic 52833 and f1 pro max has nordic 52840

all three have kailh 8.0 switches

[glass bear]

what are we talking about

did you miss an ss

[neon root]

oh it didnt post link

hol up

[glass bear]

4k polling for

53 dollars sounds

highly suspect

[neon root]

https://mechkeys.com/collections/new-arrival/products/vgn-dragonfly-f1-series-mouse?variant=44054210216159

[glass bear]

4k polling for 54 dollars and

54g

is like

not even razer has done that

[neon root]

on one end its highly sus but on the other hand, it do be china

they be doin some weird stuff lately with mice

also even if the specs are right, could also be just terrible plastic in order to cut costs even more

which is where im also sus

[gaunt forge]

Whats the difference between the Pro and Pro Max anyway?

i want 4k but i dont know if I should get this or the more "reliable" 4k mouse

hts+ 4k

[neon root]

pro and pro max different chips as far as i can tell and weight though i dont remember the cause of the weight change

[gaunt forge]

oh yeah and the 4k dongle isn't even released yet

[neon root]

until theres further reviews on that mouse, id suggest to sticking to mice that already have 4k rn like razer and gwolves

need to try out the 4k on my hsk at some point in gaming as well and not just aim labs

4k dongle dlc for my deathadder v3 pro is on the way as well so i can try that out once its here

[glass bear]

hmm yueah

mechkeys is a decently reliable website after all

[calm cobalt]

what color do you guys prefer

[hearty schooner]

Instead of a numpad if I wanted to Could I use a old keyboard I have laying around?

[pale cosmos]

For context for those willing to help

[tribal mesa]

Copper and black looks really nice I think

[gentle jasper]

Personally:

1. Black Headband/Brown Driver
2. Grey Headband/Grey Driver
3. Black Headband/Black Driver

If there was a Grey Headband/Brown Driver I probably would have chosen that one as my favorite.

It’s really tough between the all grey and black/brown

[calm cobalt]

@gentle jasper @tribal mesa Thanks guys

[tribal mesa]

Plus I think 3 tones are better than 2

It makes things look less "flat" looking, like background objects vs animated ones in a Scooby-Doo episode

[hearty schooner]

Any suggestions for having programmable keys? I'd like something like a stream deck where each button can do something different so like I can set one to mute on discord and another to record with what ever game capture I'm running and have it not interfere with my normal keyboard buttons

[calm cobalt]

||PS the brown/copper driver is actually a gold plated electrode @gentle jasper @tribal mesa||

[tribal mesa]

Oh well even better

|| gold and black || looks even better

[calm cobalt]

not possible since the black version is the 80th anniversary edition

not to mention that the black stators are different tech to the gold plated stuff

so it isn't just visual

it changes the way the device behaves

[tribal mesa]

How much

[calm cobalt]

don't know

never tried it

only tried the gold one

[tribal mesa]

...what?

I don't know what we're talking about anymore I just think colors are neat

[calm cobalt]

hello

[gaunt forge]

Y'all want this?

[ivory fable]

[glass bear]

that mouse is not very good

well for $60 its alright but theres like fantech aria which is $10 more and better in a couple of ways

[gaunt forge]

Oh yeah. Only thing probably good about this is the hot-swappable switches and maybe the slopped side

I might get this: not an egg fan and I need good pinky support

[steep pelican]

@primal pawn that keeb you linked in tech deals worth it or nah

[primal pawn]

100% worth it imo

[steep pelican]

Dang might have to pick it up then

Only concern is that I might be like 5 switches short 😦

I have a 65% rn

[glass bear]

@neon root saving my friend from his g502

[neon root]

yeet

[gaunt forge]

Noice

You didn't pay full price on that right?

[glass bear]

yea it was 18.99

and amazon prime so came for free in like a day

[floral lake]

damn

19 for that is sick

[neon root]

@glass bear i won my very first giveaway

won a saturn mousepad from LGG

actually just realized, i may or may not be denied of the giveaway xD

its a giveaway between lgg and maxgaming and they both did 5 mousepads each except lgg is mainly US whereas maxgaming is mainly international but we'll see. hopefully i just won a mousepad

[thorn grove]

Must be nice to win.

[gaunt forge]

no way you actually won?

what are the chances that a moderator for Newegg won!?

[neon root]

sadge its not the saturn pro but just the normal saturn but cant complain much

[glass bear]

SHEESH

W

now you have two saturns?

i think

[neon root]

no, i have mercury and venus pro

no saturn

so ill have all 3

wish i got the penus pro though

still not sure if that was an actual misprint or if someone photoshopped that

[gaunt forge]

how big was it anyway?

[queen sigil]

its dhl

[neon root]

xl mousepad so its 500x500mm which is the size of my venus pro that i bought

great size

[neon root]

@glass bear does no one like the normal sized pulsar x2? theres still some left over of randomfrankp's normal size x2

red x2 all over again

[tight pulsar]

checks out

[timber ridge]

dhl shipping go crazy

[queen sigil]

100$ tho

💀

[timber ridge]

ye the pricing is always cursed lol

[glass bear]

honestly yeah

Actually the normal x2 might be a little better than the x2 mini for me

but for that one week I had the x2 mini I loved it

[snow briar]

I gotta say Schiit’s rma service is incredible. Just as convenient as amazons returns

[timber ridge]

something go wrong with ur stack ?

[neon root]

usb c was borked on his modi

[timber ridge]

tragic

i wanna upgrade my setup but i jus use iems

[snow briar]

buy a schiit stack anyways

[timber ridge]

ima topping fanboy

dont think id make the switch to schiit

[snow briar]

Fair

[timber ridge]

prob will upgrade iems b4 i upgrade my stack

[pale cosmos]

Dx3 pro+ gang

[timber ridge]

dx3 caught my attention but idk if that would be an upgrade or not

forgot the specs of my current stuff

[floral lake]

Hmm

I'm conflicted between two mouse choice

Both are priced the same

Basilisk x or G305? Both wireless mice ofc

[gaunt forge]

You want small or big?

[floral lake]

I prefer small myself, big doesn't quite fit my hand

[gaunt forge]

G305 then

not the lightest but fits the needs of most

[neon root]

Dongle dlc acquired

[neon root]

I HAVE THE POWER

[obsidian cypress]

this is keyboard?

[neon root]

mouse

[obsidian cypress]

damn I think it's higher then mine.

[neon root]

not many mice rn have 4k polling

[obsidian cypress]

I cap out at 1khz.

Using the Razer Basilisk V3 Ultimate

[obsidian cypress]

what mouse are you using?

[neon root]

razer deathadder v3 pro

and did you mean basilisk v3 pro?

[obsidian cypress]

Nvm, it's the V3

not pro.

[neon root]

ye the basilisk v3 pro can do 4k assuming you buy the dongle

which is what i did, bought the 4k dongle for my deathadder v3 pro

[obsidian cypress]

Ahh okay.

How big a difference does 4k make?

[neon root]

not much. its like going 144hz to 240hz on a monitor. some people can tell the difference some cant

[obsidian cypress]

Ahh okay.

I can feel the input lag on 1k.

[neon root]

def feels a bit smoother and more responsive but not a crazy amount

[obsidian cypress]

So if I ever switch to 4k it might be interesting.

[neon root]

i mean razer has like 2 mice now i believe that have 8k but theyre wired mice

viper and i think the deathadder

[obsidian cypress]

cool.

Unfortunately it looks really uncomfortable on the hand.

[plain thorn]

recommend me a good monitor

my budget is 400 dollars

[white flame]

1440p or ultrawide 1440p? For gaming or color accurate work?

[plain thorn]

for gaming

[plain thorn]

What do you think about this one? https://www.newegg.com/p/3D4-0010-00010?Item=9SIA0ZWGTH7984&cm_sp=Dailydeal_SS-_-9SIA0ZWGTH7984-_-03142023

Nixeus EDG 27” Rapid IPS 2560 x 1440 AMD FreeSync™ Premium Certified 240Hz HDR Gaming Monitor (NX-EDG27240X)

$329.99 right now

[white flame]

Are you one of the 0.3% of people that can see the difference between 144 and 240Hz?

[plain thorn]

This is my system info:
CPU: Intel Core i7-13700K

CPU Cooler: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 360

Motherboard: GIGABYTE Z690 AORUS ULTRA

Memory: G.SKILL Flare X5 Series AMD EXPO 32GB (2 x 16GB)

Storage: SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS 2TB

Video Card: ASRock OC Formula Radeon RX 6900 XT 16GB

Case: Phanteks Eclipse G500A DRGB

Power Supply: ENERMAX Revolution D.F. 850W 80 Plus Gold 850W

Operating System: Windows 11 Home

[plain thorn]

Honestly, idk. I have never had anything beyond 60hz. Which is what I currently have

[white flame]

Going from 60 to 120-165 is huge. Anything past that you're paying more for something you probably won't use.

Would you prefer 27 inches or 32?

You can get a really good 32" for $400

[plain thorn]

32

[plain thorn]

Could you please send me a link to it?

[white flame]

One sec I'm double checking model numbers

Best option: https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824012039

That's the larger version of one of the most recommended monitors on this server.

Here's the review on the 27 inch version: https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/gigabyte/m27q

[plain thorn]

thank you

[white flame]

If you wanted to, there's this one for $30 less. It's still great but not as good for things like videos.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09TMKSN73
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/samsung/odyssey-g5-s27ag50

[daring zenith]

M32q is nicer than M27q btw, rgb instead of bgr

[white flame]

Ooh, noted. That does make a big difference.

I didn't realize they reviewed the 32 inch too https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/compare/gigabyte-m27q-vs-gigabyte-m32q/19668/26016?usage=3623&threshold=0.10

[plain thorn]

It might be a noob question, but what is the difference here

[daring zenith]

It's marketing names for resolutions

1080p, 1440p, I think ultra wide 1440p, and 4k

[plain thorn]

ooooh I see

[white flame]

FHD is Full HD, 1080p
QHD is Quad HD, 1440p
WQHD is Wide QHD, probably 3440x1440p
UHD is Ultra HD, 2160p (4k)

[plain thorn]

I bought that monitor

[daring zenith]

The qc is a completely different panel btw, it's va not IPS. The M32q is the panel we were talking about

M32qc is curved and VA, M32q is flat and IPS

[white flame]

Right, the curved version isn't as good

[plain thorn]

isnt curved better?

[white flame]

VA panels are vastly inferior to IPS panels in nearly every way

[daring zenith]

Curved wise, 32inch is when it starts to make sense but personally it being curved doesn't make much of a difference unless it's ultrawide

Curved panels are usually VA because it's just cheaper to do that, curved IPS panels are a lot more expensive

[plain thorn]

ouch

cancelling order

I cancelled my order

@white flame @daring zenith what about this one?

[daring zenith]

It's good, but it's ultrawide so the use is a bit different, not everything is made with ultrawide in mind, so some things like videos won't scale nicely from 16:9 to 21:9 so you'll have black bars, some games might be stretched, that kinda thing

[plain thorn]

What is a 27" better than M27Q ?

I think I'll go with a 27" instead of 32"

and focus on other qualities over size

[white flame]

M27Q-X

[daring zenith]

With a 6900xt it prob won't hit the full 240 in most games but it might be nice to have for easier to run games

[plain thorn]

Looks great. I see reviews mentioning dead pixels

that kinda scares me a little

[white flame]

That can happen on any monitor

You can ask for a replacement if you get more than a certain amount of them, I forget exactly what the policy is for that one

[plain thorn]

Do you know anything good like that around $300?

sorry for bothering yall with these questions

[white flame]

Besides the M27Q, which is $300 right now on Amazon, there's the HP X27Q which isn't as good but still quite nice for gaming. It's $270 right now.

[plain thorn]

What do you think of this ? https://www.amazon.com/KTC-Computer-Vertical-FreeSync-Adjustable/dp/B0B18HWB9M?th=1

[gaunt forge]

Make sure your gpu can handle it
useless info tho given you have a good gpu

my old post not this

[plain thorn]

its ok. thanks for letting me know

I think my gpu can handle it

[white flame]

Seems like it's ok but you should be able to find it cheaper https://www.techpowerup.com/review/ktc-h27t22/8.html

online homework

is an opp

i really got it wrong for being more specific than the hw

wow what a terrible wya to show screenshots

[white flame]

This is why automated online testing should be limited to elementary school, where rounding error isn't a thing yet

[queen sigil]

dhl 5 day shipping lfg

only took 6 days for them to recieve the package

[gaunt forge]

What did you order anyway

[neon root]

Metro boomin make it boom

[neon root]

i need a new mouse now to use those sapphire skates on

they gonna be bing chillin for a while

[gaunt forge]

my god, you're really going places with mice now aint ya

First an hsk 4k, then deathadder, then sapphire skates

you gonna go for that VGN Pro too?

[neon root]

the dragonfly mouse?

[gaunt forge]

yup

the "budget" 4k

[neon root]

was talking to veed about it the other day. skeptical on it since its 4k like 52g or whatever it was that it said for the pro max or whatever but is like $55

gonna wait on reviews for it cause high spec but low budget there has to be something they cut corners on somewhere

[gaunt forge]

The 4k dongle still didn't release yet, but its coming up after

[neon root]

i assume its the plastic and is probably cheap plastic they used

which is why i havent bought it yet

[gaunt forge]

yeah haven't heard any real reviews of it yet

[neon root]

waiting for reviews to mainly talk on that part or where ever else they cut corners on

mainly gonna wait until the la-1 superlight releases from lethalgaminggear for me to use the sapphire skates unless i get some mouse that i like enough to use them on beforehand

[queen sigil]

my opinion still holds

dont cheap out on monitor and mic stands

this stand sucks

[neon root]

as far as i know or at least the last update they told me was they were just getting last patents or something like that from japan before they can do a full release

[neon root]

ye my last mic stand was a cheap basic one and was creaking and you could hear the springs and then the part that goes into the clamp was wearing down to the point where i had to overtighten it for it to even be tighten

slowly starting to droop and couldnt hold up my mic

[queen sigil]

i got cheap 30$ gas spring monitor arm for a m27q

so fairly big monitor

it has an adjustable thing that u can adjust but its like impossible to get it to move

so im basically stuck at lowest and highest height

but i solve with keyboard case as a spacer lol

kinda removes the point of having a monitor arm but who cares

[neon root]

huanuo and north bayou are the ones i use for my monitors

or at least the monitors that i move around

the north bayou mount is a square that perfectly fits into the square hole in the m27q which makes me happy

the more common mounts are slightly too big to fit the square

[queen sigil]

to save money i have spent
300$ on a controller
30$ on a monitor arm
15$/month subscription to play game

thank you japan

[gaunt forge]

i mean...I spent 20$ for my arm stand and I'm not upset

also 300 controller didn't you buy that arcade controller game for some rythm game?

[queen sigil]

im not upset i paid 30$ for a mic arm

but its still not good

[gaunt forge]

i went even cheaper

16 on ebay

still have a crappy mic but it works for my purposes

[queen sigil]

wait no mic arm i paid like 12$ for on amaozn

monitor arm was like 30$

[gaunt forge]

huh...apparently I paid 4 bucks on my monitor stand

[neon root]

[gaunt forge]

wait 27$ minus 25 dollars with free giftcards from microsoft

👍

plus tax because MURICA

[neon root]

might try and look into seeing if im able to buy just the internals of a viper v2 pro or something and putting it into my modded viper mini

mod that thing more

[glass bear]

im thinking about it

mechkeys seems pretty legit

😔

crying rn

[neon root]

why is it $60

[glass bear]

its the 3395 edition

3395 mouse for 49 is not bad

its just that weight is

really

really not it

[floral lake]

heard and seen it having issues with flicks tho

[neon root]

could buy the dragonfly mouse and give me a review on it to see if its worth buying

[floral lake]

it's cheap cause its firmware ain't great

[neon root]

cerapad should be coming in next week hopefully

finally get to try that thing out

[floral lake]

i wish i could get more moners for orochi v2

my obtainable goal rn is just g304/305

[neon root]

sales arent hitting the orochi v2 like they used to

$45 on amazon rn, lowest its ever been was $26

used to sit at a comfy $35 for a while

[floral lake]

G304 is sitting at $30 mark rn

30-35

Orochi always seem to be 60

Unless I order from china

[neon root]

you dont live in US?

[floral lake]

But I kinda wanna have warranty

Ya, I'm in thailand

[neon root]

are you not able to just walk into the razer store and see if they have a sale?

[floral lake]

lolno

[neon root]

wait no

[floral lake]

No razer stores

[neon root]

wrong country

[floral lake]

Online shops only

[neon root]

i was wrong country regardless

[floral lake]

Was considering basilisk x

But I fear it's too big for my hands

[neon root]

sadge though if there are no sales there for the orochi. $28 usd for a orochi is nice

im surprised they havent done a smaller version of the basilisk like they have the deathadder and viper but i guess at the same time itd probably be awkward to hold

[floral lake]

I would be willing to do amazon if they offered free international shipping

lol yeah, it's a G502 copycat so

Can't be small

[glass bear]

razer has increased prices on everything it seems

even viper mini costs more

[floral lake]

Idk how good rog keris is

But god damn it's got hotswap switches

This isn't about keeb or anything, but a mouse

It costs more than I can afford but do I want that

Pay once and keep the thing forever cause switches can be easily replaced

My only gripe is it not using removable battery

All in order to save weight I suppose

[south epoch]

Looking to convert two usb headers into one.. but one has two black wires and the other has one yellow and one black what do i do

[south epoch]

So im guessing this is right

[dapper adder]

i..... i'm not too sure? you're supposed to have one empty pin

[thick garden]

The empty pin will do nothing, and the other one is a "no connection" pin, don't really know what it means but ig it'd be fine, still don't get why his 2.0 usb cables have that 5th cable

Maybe this

[neon root]

razer released glass mousepad

my entire closet is just gonna end up being razer peripherals at this point

450x400mm for $100. wish it was slightly bigger at 450x450 or 500x500 but $100 with free shipping is still decent

pulsar superglide xl was 490x420

[neon root]

everything still seems to be priced the same as it were retail in both amazon and razer's online store however the mini doesnt seem to have a buy option anymore on their website so either out of stock or theyre discontinuing it\

[gaunt forge]

oh was t hat what that was

I saw someone buy it just now and thought nothing of it

[neon root]

so many glass pads entering the market now

superglide from pulsar, gamesense sonar, razer with theirs, theres the cerapad from tjexclusives

its no longer just skypad

[tight pulsar]

is $100 a normal price

[glass bear]

for glass pads?

yeah pretty much

its a pretty subjective choice though

not automatically better

[tight pulsar]

idk for any pads

what othet materials are there

[gaunt forge]

On AliExpress you get get a bootleg glass pad

Wouldn't trust it but it exists

[queen sigil]

glass or glass infused

its bouta be like glorious ice or whatever that lasts 10 minutes

[neon root]

glass

razer already has something that is glass-like infused which is their razer strider which really isnt glass its more of like plastic beads but in the same concept of glass infused

[white flame]

https://www.razer.com/gaming-mouse-mats/razer-atlas

"In case of emergency, your mouse pad may be used as a weapon"

[neon root]

will probably buy next week when i get more moneys

wait

its on amazon as well

i could get $25 off with gift cards

also @glass bear what do you use for giftcards? i know you said surveys but what app/site? at the rate im going im gonna have to do extra stuff for more money

[glass bear]

most of it is instagram stuff for teens

like i just did a $300 dollar focus group for like 90 minutes for college advertisements

[glass bear]

someone had fun with the warnings lmao

[neon root]

time to reinstall instagram

[gaunt forge]

please god dont

[neon root]

but

$300

thats 3 razer glasspads

rn all i do is Fetch Rewards, Bing Rewards and SOMETIMES google rewards whenever it does give me a survey to fill out which is only like 1 survey every 2 weeks

could sell my crypto but at the same time i want it to go back up so i can make some more

this is part of crypto as well but i also get some bitcoin through cashapp whenever i go to a restaurant whenever they have the boost available

[gaunt forge]

my god

i mean it is a good amount of money

[glass bear]

the money is crazy

im not joking i made $600 last month for maybe

4 hours of work max

[neon root]

how do i sign up

[glass bear]

800+ actually

Uhh

ngl its like ads

wait

how old are you

theres no way youre a teenager

[neon root]

[glass bear]

[neon root]

facebook dont gotta know my age

[glass bear]

basically you have to feed the algorithm

[neon root]

actual age*

[glass bear]

that you like surveys

and then youll start getting hella ads for surveys

[pale cosmos]

[glass bear]

so next time i see one in my feed ill send you the link

[neon root]

i havent touched instagram on my phone for the past like 2 years

[glass bear]

ah see i just got one that is like

[glass bear]

LOL

yeah instagram is probably the reason i ordered q1 pro

well more like

allowed me to but yeah

[queen sigil]

[neon root]

thus far ive lost no money in crypto, just lost more money that couldve been made

[glass bear]

i put money in mara

[glass bear]

no way they give you one

for in person playtest

[neon root]

they dont but would be funny

[glass bear]

not that i would get a B in math over one

but

yeah

[snow briar]

https://youtu.be/xvz8KjCpdLE classic optimum tech. just make a new shell for a viper ultimate so its 30 grams ez

[floral lake]

i just watched that

dude went out of his way to do all it to get 25g kek

[oak jungle]

I just saw this and was coming here to post lmao

He really said "fine, I'll do it myself"

[oak jungle]

At the end he said he's getting a lighter battery plus the shell design isn't fully done being iterated. I'd guess he can get it to 20 before needing a custom pcb

[glass bear]

theres a company doing 14.5g mouse with viper v2 internals

nitrite

and its only like 190 too pretty impressive

[queen sigil]

dhl at it again

2 day shipping from china

picked up package on the 15th and its arriving today

op

[oak jungle]

Link?

Also is it wireless?

[neon root]

never posted in here but watched beardedbob's video on the viper mini se and now people kinda know why its at 49g instead of competing with finalmouse's starlight mini at 42g

the left and right clicks alone are 3g each

since they opted for plastic clicks with a magnesium shell and doing 2 pieces instead of just 1 whole magnesium piece like finalmouse

plastic covers for the internals as well about 1.6g i think it was weighed at

razer also opted for a solid base instead of putting holes in it

noooo

razer atlas glass mousepad is out of stock on amazon

damn, even on razer's website the white glass pad is out of stock

doubt they will, but would be cool if they added the Atlas to their line of products that you can customize

[queen sigil]

gahd

daym

[neon root]

lets gooo new mousepad for me to try

Tjexclusives cerapad. Freaking smol

@west hornet you get yours yet?

[west hornet]

Yes i got about a week ago. Happened to be just the right size for me xD

[neon root]

smol for me but so far not bad

def a little bit different compared to my other 2 glass pads but not bad

ill probably end up using this as a dedicated plate for my food

[west hornet]

Lmao

I didn’t expect it to be as textured as it is but so far I’m liking it

[neon root]

feels pretty smooth to me

guess so in a way

not as fast as my other 2 glasspads but def not slow

was kinda hoping the green was a bit more bright

wait

its a new color i got

[west hornet]

Slightly faster than my hard pad but still a nice amount of control, overall surface more uniform than my hard pad but we shall see how it holds up long term

[neon root]

we bought them before they updated their website but they colors were already updated

on their site the new colors arent as vibrant

they really got the mw2 treatment with the solid color camos

from bright and vibrant to more mute

[west hornet]

Lol

[neon root]

time to try this pad in aimlabs now and shoot circles

not lookin hot

avg score of 78k gridshot ultimate with this thing vs 80k with the current cloth mousepad im using and about 81k with my superglide mousepad

def need a sleeve with this cerapad

hand is slowing me down

[gentle jasper]

I just had the pleasure of hearing audio through Corsair Void RGB Elite USB headphones and it was terrible. Please never buy them.

[neon root]

was the rgb off? the rgb makes it sound better

gives it a +20k hz

[daring zenith]

Normal Corsair things

[gentle jasper]

lol, I've had them for a year or two sitting in the box and decided to try them cause why not

[daring zenith]

Imagine if there were headphones that boosted treble on purpose

[gentle jasper]

they're the 7.1 "surround sound" version so maybe that makes a difference

[daring zenith]

+20db at 10khz

It would just hurt

[gentle jasper]

hurts so good

They also don't sit fully on your ears, maybe it's a defect but they feel as terrible as they sound

not worth $80 in my opinion

[daring zenith]

Corsair for audio is just

https://youtu.be/2eBd5iG9cOs

Looks nice, sounds terrible

[gentle jasper]

that guy is hilarious the way he is talking lol

[floral lake]

I would be that kinda guy to have a very good headphone only to give it +10db bass boost lmao

I just like the rumble and thump so much

[neon root]

[floral lake]

All the audiophiles screeching in the distance

[white flame]

I'm the opposite, I get a headache from too much bass

Both the fish and the waveform

[floral lake]

I do add bass but I don't add it to an extreme where listening is a headache

It rumbles a lot cause of my emphasis on low freq

Well I mean I do boost the bass itself too, but not so much it starts sounding boxy

just almost

[placid dune]

the entire time i was thinking we were talking about the arctis novas

[gaunt forge]

uh...what speed are you looking for?

slow, fast, medium?

[gaunt forge]

if you don't mind shipping costs, LethalGaming has some white mousepads of varying sizes

https://lethalgaminggear.com/collections/mousepads/products/equate-white

https://lethalgaminggear.com/collections/mousepads?page=1

[timber ridge]

yall know if static build up can cause a pc to disconnect from my dac

it disconnects with the slightest movement

when i touch the pc

[white flame]

Yes, ESD is bad. You could have a bad ground somewhere.

Or a bad cable

[timber ridge]

is it a motherboard issue or power surge

or both

[white flame]

It could be any one of a dozen things but usually environmental factors play a part

[timber ridge]

rip

it was no where as bad on my old build

but its prob an environmental thing

[white flame]

Cold air tends to build up static more easily, as does carpet ofc

[timber ridge]

yee

i have my surge protector on carpet but pc on desk

might try some dif since i can get a surge protector p cheap with my discount

[white flame]

There could also be factors like a bad cable somewhere, possibly the ground in that cheap power bar is bad

[timber ridge]

it was a fairly cheap amazon power surge

ill get some better

[neon root]

apparently logitech is re-releasing the g pro superlight in another new color 💀

gonna be yellow

why is logitech the way that they are

[gaunt forge]

very good question

i also wonder why they haven't heard other demands for new mice

[neon root]

oh theyve heard

they just wont

[gaunt forge]

I WANT MY G703X

[neon root]

people been asking for a g703 superlight but instead they giving us new colors of the g pro and a more expensive refresh of a g502 that no one asked for

[gaunt forge]

i also heard rumors about even more colorways being released

around 8

[neon root]

razer atlas mousepad out of stock on amazon still and white pad is out of stock on their website but is available in black still and i have a $10 gift card from them

oop

the email regarding my $10 for their store ends today. so i dont have the code anymore or its later tonight

too many damn mousepads

[gaunt forge]

im settling for just 4 mousepads

[neon root]

$6.52 for local taxes 💀

[gaunt forge]

maybe 5 if i want a glass

[neon root]

wait

razer has paypal

[gaunt forge]

they do?

[neon root]

time for pay in 4

razer atlas bought

[gaunt forge]

oh god

[neon root]

time to wait till 27-29 for it to be delivered

of my 3 glass pads, this razer atlas is the cheapest even without the $10 promo

paid $96.51 vs $106.51 but even still, my pulsar superglide was about $125 ish and the skypad i bought was about $140 ish

the smallest of the 3 pads but still

that free shipping from razer is nice

i have too many razer products at this point

[gaunt forge]

how many mice with the name Viper?

[neon root]

3

right

i think

ye 3

viper ultimate, and 2 viper mini's one of which is modded

then i have the deathadder v3

[gaunt forge]

not too bad

[neon root]

and also the razer strider

mousepad

and technically speaking as well, the hyper dongle since that was a separate dlc

no keyboard though

[gaunt forge]

uh

don't fix that

[neon root]

i used to have the blacksharks v2 headset or whichever before i switched to iems

and then switched from iems to hd 6xx

[gaunt forge]

anything else?

genuinely curious now. how far have you gone with Razer

[neon root]

i used to also have a walmart razer bundle set because back then my setup was kinda bad and i needed better stuff. in the bundle was their chroma keyboard, a deathadder essential and one of their rgb mousepads

all 3 of which i later sold off with extra pc's as part of their bundle

OH WAIT

THE OROCHI V2

that mouse too

[gaunt forge]

wait yeah how did you forgetr about that thing

[neon root]

forgot about that egg

kinda sits behind all my other mice in their cases

[gaunt forge]

oh wait yeah the pile

actualy i think i don't even have a single razer mouse

[neon root]

havent bought anything else razer though like their laptops or pc parts

i do have someone in my friend group though that has the razer monitor

[gaunt forge]

for somereason every razer product I bought backfired on me

the viper mini was too small and had no hump

the deathadder i tried felt awful

the barracuda was too small

[neon root]

ye deathadder i had to switch off of or at least the deathadder essential

even now with the v3 pro they changed the shape but still a bit weird for me

OH WAIT ANOTHER RAZER ITEM I HAVE

THEIR BUNGEE

[floral lake]

i really want the orochi v2

[neon root]

this one specifically, not their newer rgb one that they have

i havent used a wired mouse in a minute so i forgot i had this

[floral lake]

but it's considerably more expensive than g305

my hand is more suited for smaller mice like these

[neon root]

i also replaced that bungee for zowie's bungee so theres that too

sadge that the orochi v2 is expensive in your country

[gaunt forge]

Is Ebay an option?

[floral lake]

nah

shipping biting at my ass kek

[gaunt forge]

sadg

[floral lake]

at that point i might as well get gpx with how expensive shipping gets

[neon root]

how much is g305 over there?

[floral lake]

about 30-35

orochi is double that

[neon root]

nvm, i was about to suggest looking up the fantech aria incase for whatever reason it was cheaper for you to get over there or somewhat relatively close price to the g305 but itd probably still be more expensive than both

[floral lake]

fantech aria is also 60

pretty sadge market

[neon root]

60 usd aint too shabby for my market but not good enough for you there

[floral lake]

besides i really want something not with lithium batt

too lazy to charge lol

orochi and g305 answers that req

i don't mind having to carry the weight

just that i kinda wished for the orochi simply because i like it more

[gaunt forge]

too lazy to charge?

wehen you have many mice, that doesn't become an issue

[neon root]

maybe one day amazon gods will bless

[floral lake]

i wanna just plop an aa batt in and forget it

[gaunt forge]

you want my modded G305 in the shell of an xtrfy m4?

[floral lake]

if i get something from you guys shipping is gonna be stupid expensive anyway

[neon root]

also just realized that maxgaming still has the starlight pro tenz edition in stock. people really arent buying them

has been saying 20+ left in stock for the past week or two now

[floral lake]

i can bring orochi's price down to like $40 or so

but that's if i don't want warranty

ordering from china and all

it's not one of those fake stuff, just apparently cheaper over there

[neon root]

@glass bear tenz starlight pro small still in stock at maxgaming, people arent buying them it seems

[gaunt forge]

do you want one?

[floral lake]

nah im fine, im sure shipping will be brutal

[neon root]

for free sure, i aint paying $200 for potentially really bad qc issues

just veed been into the finalmouse hype train for a bit

[floral lake]

i'll just get g305 local here

also idk but i have been seeing new mice brands popping up left and right

there's already a local brand here

[gaunt forge]

what stores do you even have access to?

[floral lake]

looks to be just another gpx clone

um well, there's quite a few but the prices are the same anyway

[glass bear]

well yeah the

[gaunt forge]

sounds like you are in like...idk the Carribean

[glass bear]

new finalmouse is coming soon

although seriously if someone was to get a good working starlight small in 2021

[floral lake]

i'm in thailand

[glass bear]

they wouldve had a mouse that is still basically one of the best fps mice even now

[neon root]

cant tell if this varmilo vm01 mouse has a battery or not

[glass bear]

the keyboard company?

[neon root]

id assume its the same company

[floral lake]

hm

[glass bear]

it says with battery

on the page

it is the same company

[floral lake]

once i get the mouse im thinking of also getting mouse feets

[neon root]

on mechkeys they have their mice which is somewhat kinda the same as the g305. $40 usd

[floral lake]

superglides are on heavy sale rn lmao

[neon root]

wonder what the pricing is like for foxy through that site

[floral lake]

30 knocked down to $10

[glass bear]

i would get a better mouse

instead of getting g305 + superglides

wait is thailand a humid climate

[floral lake]

yep

hot and humid

[glass bear]

dont get superglides

[neon root]

dont get then

[floral lake]

okie

[neon root]

glass dont get of anything

mousepad, skates

no glass

[floral lake]

then i should get ptfe stuff

[neon root]

ye

[glass bear]

g305 stock skates are fine

although its awfully late to get one

[floral lake]

i don't have any better options than g305

i don't trust delux mice

[glass bear]

is there really nothing else at that price

[floral lake]

qc is sadge

[glass bear]

the qc is

questionable yeah

is it hard to rma in thailand

*thailand

[floral lake]

it is, cause it's from china

rmaing would be pain

[glass bear]

huh

[floral lake]

delux doesn't sell locally here

[glass bear]

oh i see

not in any retail huh

[floral lake]

yep

[neon root]

sadge

[floral lake]

logitech and razer are like everywhere here

there's basilisk x but it's too big

[glass bear]

g305 is your best option then

do they have the fantech aria in thailand

i mean its like twice the price but

[neon root]

$60 for them but thats around the same as the orochi v2

[floral lake]

funny enough white is cheaper than black

the g305

[neon root]

which foxy would prefer a double aa over built in battery

[floral lake]

there we go, another shop has one

yeah, i find it pain that i have to charge with my daily usage

i already have a wireless headset and it gets annoying to have to charge every few days

[neon root]

time to say poop it and save up for logitech qi charging mousepad and mouse

[glass bear]

what really

[floral lake]

aa batts are dirt cheap

i can replace em every month

[neon root]

orochi v2 batt life also do be kinda insane on bluetooth mode as well for just daily use stuff

[glass bear]

p sure the aria has bluetooth too

[neon root]

but does it have removable battery?

[floral lake]

bleh no

as far as i know it doesn't

called g304 here but same exact thing

[neon root]

time to start gofundme for foxy for the orochi v2

[glass bear]

considering its more expensive, worse for the planet, and heavier that should be a

[floral lake]

lmao

[glass bear]

plus but

[floral lake]

im saving up towards $30 rn

it's worse for the planet but it's convenient for me

[glass bear]

buying batteries probably also costs more than just charging it

in the long run anyway

[floral lake]

yeah, altho they only cost like 2 bucks a pop for 2 pack of duracells

buy em once and they'd probably last me up to half a year

i also don't have the insecurity of worrying about my mouse's batt degrading

man if only solid state batts gets onto mice

i wouldn't be this picky in a heartbeat

[neon root]

people really do be interested in the orochi v2

[floral lake]

yeah lol

there's quite an amount of people who prefers removable batt

but hm honestly, how long does the batts in mice that recharge last before they start heavily losing capacity?

my phone already lost quite a chunk over 3 years, but a phone is subjected to more heat and abuse

[neon root]

guess thatd be more of an issue of abuse and how hot it gets where you live. i havent really seen any issues in my mice with battery life but built in battery vs double aa is just more of convenience

however how long it lasts on a charge depends on how youre using it which is more of the problem imo

sleep mode, 2.4ghz vs bluetooth, rgb, etc

[floral lake]

i don't like rgb much anyway

especially on something i hold with my hand all the time lmao

i would probably use it on bluetooth with game not fired up

2.4 in game

as for the heat, im worried about the summers

it can get as hot as 40c in some years

but mostly 35c

[obsidian cypress]

Rechargable batteries also offer less environmental waste.

[floral lake]

my worry is just hotter climate

don't want a mouse with dying batt after using it for just a year or two

[dapper adder]

reposting from general:
any XDA profile keycaps recommendations? (PBT, rgb passthrough preferred)

[obsidian cypress]

You don't use an ac?

[dapper adder]

some people don't have AC

[abstract stratus]

i dont.

air conditioning?

if so yup i dont

[floral lake]

I do but only in my room

Which isn't where I use my laptop in

My setup is like on the living room's coffee table lmao

[abstract stratus]

tuff lmao

[calm cobalt]

do you guys have any personal reco for keycaps (under 40 usd) that would look good in a keychron q3?

[floral lake]

https://www.techpowerup.com/306156/logitech-g-pro-x-superlight-in-neon-yellow-colorway-is-leaked-by-online-store-in-singapore

omfg lol

yellow gpx

[white flame]

How do people find these leaks anyway

This one is kind of understandable since it's a major merchant but there's some where people have just downloaded non-public info from specific non-published pages

[glass bear]

drop has some keycaps around that price

theres also a few cheap ones on amazon, not sure about the quality

[floral lake]

probably uh did some hacking into it if i had to guess?

or saw it appear briefly

[gaunt forge]

eBay as well. People have already broken them somehow

Although I know there was a leak for 4 new colorway, dunno where that came from

[delicate veldt]

is Sceptre's E275B-QPT168 good? amazon reviews say its bad but youtube says its good

[white flame]

Careful with those reviews, a lot of manufacturers have been caught buying off channels for good reviews. Amazon is also REALLY easy to manipulate.
I don't see any reputable reviewers at a glance.

[delicate veldt]

What’s a good monitor for <$300 144hz 1440p that you might know of

[pale cosmos]

HP X27Q

[glass bear]

m27q

or g27q

[neon root]

razer atlas supposedly comes in tomorrow

[floral lake]

Oh boy, G305 here is getting on sale in 4 days

Almost $10 off the already good $30 lmao

Unfortunately price is meh now for it

No longer under 250 :(

Nvm it's back to 210 pogg

anyone know if this mic has good quality

or what they think about it

[north ridge]

i just installed and plugged in my lian li uni fan controller and controller for strimer cables and i see this they are in 2 seperate usb ports on motheboard so i dont think they would both be bad ports

[west hornet]

Sounds pretty decent just going to have a bit of desk noise with that stand

[neon root]

its here

Sheeeesh

not as fast as the superglide but more so in line with the skypad 3.0 but more control oriented if that make sense

it be smooven tho

[magic adder]

wireless headphone recommendations? haven't been happy with the sound of my airpods recently and want something better for when i go to the gym. looking to spend >$120

[rigid valve]

for gym i love sony xm4

bose makes decent iems i think

[cyan basalt]

https://crinacle.com/guide/tws/

If you wanted to get a good idea

I bought a pair of xm3's refurbished a couple years ago, the only thing I don't like is the battery life

It's maybe like 2 hours tops

[serene kiln]

I need some help with a keyboard

I need a new wired, full, cheap keyboard

[floral lake]

Cheap is relative, what's your budget?

[serene kiln]

idc about macro keys and idc about RGB i need durability and performative rather than flashy and flimsy

$60 or less

ik nothing about keyboards but the one i have came with a prebuilt and ive had it since 2014

theres a short in the wire tho and it keep disconnecting

so i NEED one

its an HP keyboard

also the A and W key are no longer resistant because the rubber under the key ripped

they are touchy now

[serene kiln]

ty

[floral lake]

$60 okay, that's doable

gimme a sec

[serene kiln]

preferably under

as cheap as we can get it and tbh it doesnt need to be a gaming keyboard just a quality one

[floral lake]

Your best bet in this budget is something like a mech keeb

Membrane sucks in both feel and durability

[serene kiln]

oh i know the goodness of mechanical

as i said i just rode this until it started giving out

and the keys didnt really bother me

[floral lake]

I'm looking for good option for you right now

[serene kiln]

but when i move the short disconnects the keyboard now

so

[floral lake]

Tho cheaper mechanical keyboards sound clacky and rattly sometimes, but it's certainly not as bad as some membrane ones

[serene kiln]

oh no palm rest and if there is one detachable

because i dont rest my keyboard on a desk

its on my lap

[floral lake]

alright

https://www.newegg.com/akko-3108-ttc-gold-blue-light-blue/p/32N-00EN-000X4

I don't recommend blue switches due to their clicky nature, but this one fits your budget (just right at it, sorry lol)

It's normally not this low in price

It has hotswap, so if the switches ever break you can buy any switches to replace

Wait nevermind, it doesn't have hotswap. My bad

[serene kiln]

the blue switch is the only one thats 60

[floral lake]

yeup

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NAI2TXC/

This one has brown switch, and hotswappable

Brown is similar to membrane, but usually not as tactile with benefit of lighter actuation force

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08KDXVPPP

And this one is cheapest, but blue switch

[serene kiln]

im not informed on the different switches so ty

not sure i care too much about clackity

[floral lake]

I would suggest going brown with more muted sound profile

But if you don't care about noise too much, blue is fine

Blue is clicky, brown tactile and red is linear, no bumps.

That's basically the basics for most keyboards

There's lots of different switches on the market, but you don't have to think too hard

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJbGNbXneFc

At about 2 minute mark you can see how the pulsar with blue switch sounds

Mind you it only takes outemu switches, just in case you ever have to replace a switch

[serene kiln]

so i like brown and blue

i like blue because this guy says the actuation of hitting the key is more prevalent

he says brown has a click as well letting you know you hit the key but less aware than blue

i may just go blue as they are mass produced and easier to find and that means cheaper

[floral lake]

Yeah, blue is usually cheaper

I would say you can't go wrong with blue, it's just louder and that's about the only issue that has always made me feel neutral about them

[obsidian cypress]

will any boom arm work for my Razer Seiren V2 Pro mic?

[gaunt forge]

Look into which mount works. There are like 3 or 4 different ways to mount mics

But ordinarily even the 15$ ones work

So yes

[dapper adder]

what's a good around-ear bluetooth headphone (not headset, i don't want a boom mic on it, though if it does have it, i want it to be detachable)
will require the ability to connect wired, at least 6 hours of playback, and the budget is $200 cad
can be closed or open back, but closed back would be preferred
anc optional
will be mainly used for listening to music/watching videos

[desert heath]

expecting it to be out of budget... but how is second hand pricing for XM3 in Canada?

[dapper adder]

$150-200
though iirc crinacle says that the xm3s are overrated lmao
and also factor in the cost of replacement pads for used since i don't want to use used pads lmao

[desert heath]

otherwise, the main options I can think of personally is

• Anker Q45
• AKG N700NC
• Bose QC35 II

[desert heath]

look, I'll put it straight forward as a XM4 owner

the sound is a bit extra bass, but Sony is incredible on ANC, can be used wired, way exceeds your battery life expectations and are closed back

they're "overrated" according to some, sure

but they're popular for a reason

[dapper adder]

• shipping it's going to be at least $200-300 rip

[desert heath]

yikes

was worth a shot I guess

[dapper adder]

yeah most of the sellers are either in the us (higher base price) uk (lower price, but high shipping) and there are some brand new from japan with free shipping but still $300

[desert heath]

fair enough

and I expect XM4 to be worse

[dapper adder]

wait it wasn't new, it was "like new" lmao

[desert heath]

oh, and to be fair about my use of the XM4

I like the bit extra bass

[dapper adder]

🗿 xm4

yeah i'm more of a neutral sound profile guy lmao

i'm much more used to reference headphones lmao, but usually they are wired and expensive

[desert heath]

how's N700NC pricing?

[dapper adder]

used?

[desert heath]

not extremely neutral, but not too bad (this is the M2)

[desert heath]

might be available new too

(M1 is a bit more neutral)

[dapper adder]

honestly, buying used is almost pointless here ngl lmao
shipping always ends up bringing the cost up to msrp

and barely any sellers within canada, and if they are, usually they are sold quickly

[desert heath]

fair

[dapper adder]

yeah prices for the N700NC is still $200+ basically

when you include shipping

might as well just buy new for any headphones ngl, especially wireless, since battery could be dubious

[gentle jasper]

I have the Anker Q45 and really like them. They hit all your wants. I tried a few different bluetooth headphones while shopping around for and ultimately I liked the sound of them the best. If you have any questions about them let me know

[dapper adder]

Yeah I did a bit of research and the q45 is really the only one within my budget that fits my needs/wants
The athm50xbt2 seems to fit as well, asides from the price, but buying the refurb or used on Amazon would be more closer to my budget, only a bit over

[neon root]

new mousepad should come in tomorrow. new new pad. dont think they have many out

or maybe they do

only recently found out about them

[gaunt forge]

I thought you just got a Glass pad from Razer!

Then again I did just buy another GPW

[floral lake]

Ordered the G305

Pretty excited for it

yeah, it's not as neutral as you want, but otherwise it's a good pair of headphones

I'm upgrading my keyboard and debating between the new Razer Azoth (75%) and Apex Pro TKL 2023 Wireless (75%) and the Apex Pro Mini Wireless (60%, never used that form factor). I know that Wooting is king and Moondrop would be the most ergonomic.

They're all around $330 CAD and similar keyboards, but the Apex have dual actuation keys where you can register different inputs (from a light 0.2mm touch to a full 3.8mm deep stroke). Not sure if I'd use that feature in the end but it sounds cool in theory. I'm coming from a G915 TKL Tactile Lightspeed Wireless, the low profile and high density keys to surface area ratio isn't ideal for typing and I want to go back to an elevated profile.

As for headsets I'm gonna try the Audeze LCD-GX since I love their sound signature (LCD2-5 are all fantastic for metal). It's more convenient than using my ZMF Verite VC Closed with an external mic and a tube amp in front of my monitor

You meant rog azoth?

Razer doesn't have anything named azoth

The azoth I believe is the best gaming branded keyboard, it has foam damping and gasket mounting

Offers basically the best sound there is in the market

If you don't need all the gamer features, keychron v series is pretty good

Or q series, has qmk software

Yeah sorry Asus ROG

I have so many ROG products it's actually funny. Had the ROG 6 Pro for a bit this summer, Z790 Maximus Extreme, PG42UQ monitor

Yeah I was thinking the sturdiness would be phenomenal for typing and registration, I would get the NX Browns though
