Would this be a decent pair?

It’s been awhile since I’ve used a wired mouse so I dunno

[glass bear]

i still have the m800db lmao

but for everything the mouse is the price seems right to me

ultralight 4k hz and good ftip shape

mass prod means hopefully qc isnt as shoddy

[timber ridge]

m800 was nice when i had it

[glass bear]

it still is nice

but theres definitely way better out there

[timber ridge]

wasnt a fan of the switches tho, and it was like a tad too wide for my liking

[glass bear]

oh the 4.0s?

[timber ridge]

i think i went from that to a gwolves mouse

ye

[glass bear]

i like them better than 8.0s at the very least

havent tried anything else

had an x2 for a week and returned it i like the m800 better

[timber ridge]

i got a hati hts ace wireless after it

[glass bear]

ah yeah thats a good one

[timber ridge]

honestly if it werent for the sl12, i would of kept that

[glass bear]

htx is really good too

[timber ridge]

ye

i tried the vancer but it was too big

[glass bear]

rn id probably buy htx 4k over starlight but the ulx is probably gonna be great

[timber ridge]

been coping that razer would drop a mini wireless to general consumers but it looks like ima be sticking with fm

[glass bear]

i had my heart set on the viper mini wireless for months

and then they drop a 50 gram mouse for 300 dollars lmao

[timber ridge]

ye lol

tragic

x2 mini almost got me but i was coping v hard for the viper mini wireless

[queen sigil]

i still palm my viper

cant stop me and my small handsp

[timber ridge]

i somehow used ftip as my natural/first grip

[glass bear]

chad

m800db converted me to ftip

and also watching tenz say something along the lines of keep your hand off the table in a random twitch clip

[bright sun]

Why my strimers not appearing?

[timber ridge]

sheesh you play val ?

[glass bear]

YEAH

caps

i kinda quit though

hit asc in decemeber

[timber ridge]

[ivory fable]

Does anyone have any recommendations for replacement earcups for the bose qc 35's? The ones my dad currently have (stock bose ones) are tearing (uk or eu preferred to buy from)

[gaunt forge]

Do you want them with the same type of leather, or softer, or mesh?

https://www.amazon.com/Professional-Bose-QC35-Cushions-Replacement/dp/B07TZJ1CMC?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1
Otherwise I recommend these. Comfy and they work well enough

[ivory fable]

I don't think he has a preference, do you have these ones?

[gaunt forge]

yeah i do

oh wait shoot i have a different version, hang on

actually it doesn't really matter, the leather is actually pretty similar

I recommend these since they feel close to the stock padding

memory foam ones like mine kinda squeeze into the ears

[ivory fable]

oh yeah ive heard of them they are available on amazon uk woop

cheers

[ivory fable]

cool beans

[bright sun]

My audio ain’t working

Anyone have any clue

The pc sayings it’s working but it’s not

[white flame]

Rear panel, separate audio card, or hdmi?

[bright sun]

What is real panel?

[white flame]

Rear panel
As in the motherboard integrated audio on the back

There's front panel too that runs off the integrated

[bright sun]

Bro idk

[white flame]

Where are you expecting sound to come out of and how is it plugged in

[bright sun]

do i update audio drivers

[white flame]

Maybe, it depends

[bright sun]

My drivers are already updated

It just suddenly stopped working

Which cable am I supposed to check

[white flame]

I don't even know where you're plugged in so I can't tell you

[white flame]

I'd love to be able to help but I do need a little info to do so

[neon root]

thus far of the glass pads, this gamesense sonar is the slowest

fastest to slowest:
pulsar superglide
razer atlas
skypad 3.0
gamesense sonar

cerapad would be below gamesense if you want to count them as well

[tepid lake]

Hi guys i recently bought a Pulsar Xlite V2 and i love it, wich mousepad fit better??

I play slow sens commonly

[gaunt forge]

Probably a slower pad. I recommend personally a zowie gsr

A good custom option is inkedgaming, I use it for low sens and it's great!

[proper summit]

best wired gaming mouse?

[glass bear]

dav3

[white flame]

"Best" is extremely subjective based on your needs/wants

Personally I like the G502 Hero but many people don't like a heavier mouse, for example.

[neon root]

8k polling though

also, my lamzu atlantis mini is finally coming in after i ordered it on the 21st of april

[gaunt forge]

bruh the only thing 4k polling has done for me is increase my chances of mouse stuttering

[white flame]

Sounds like you might need a different mouse pad then

[gaunt forge]

not the mousepad's fault, if it was then my other 5 mice would have the same issue

actually tbh it's a G-wolves issue

[neon root]

havent had any issues so far with my death adder v3 or gwolves mice at 4k

only issue ive had is how mediocre their software is, gwolves

well their new update to the software, i still use their old software

which is still meh

[glass bear]

sheesh

color?

actually i think they made it so that the coating is good on all colors

im just waiting for finalmouse

[neon root]

white

right side of it

not my pics, but it is my mouse. hopefully it comes in by wednesday but potentially either end of the week or next week

reasons why i shouldnt be given money, i havent even tried or even touched the lamzu and i got it custom painted

[glass bear]

oh damnn

looks fire

whod you get it done with

theres like nacho

and some other dude

[neon root]

ye nachocustomz

[glass bear]

damn

[neon root]

he did my logitech g pro superlight as well

[glass bear]

alot then

wait a second

[neon root]

dont know why that went through the filter but aight

[glass bear]

nvm automod was

lacking for a bit

lmao

[neon root]

i deleted that first one but still was lackin

[glass bear]

what language

its lagging

[neon root]

s word

[glass bear]

i fugred

[neon root]

the first one for the superlight costed like $380 but he's having a sale rn so it was $280

still a lot but that $100 is a mousepad or a new mouse

or csgo cases

[floral lake]

The aria xd7 came out with two new colors and I want them so badly

I don't need another mouse but they look great

Beige-ish white with purple accents

Pink and white is not my fav but it's a decent tone of pink, like quartz from razer

[abstract stratus]

Yo I found an iron finally and I wanna try flattening the mousepad more, what should I place between the iron and the pad?

I remember someone said that a towel could work would that be the best option?

[neon root]

just a towel

[abstract stratus]

Kk

Now I need a towel lmao

[neon root]

[abstract stratus]

Should I weten the towel?

Is that even a word

Idk

Also what heat?

[neon root]

no, just towel. mousepad on flat surface, towel over the mousepad, low heat or steam on iron

then iron over the part that needs to be fixed

in to outer edge

[abstract stratus]

Like from the center to the outer ?

[neon root]

ye

[abstract stratus]

Kk thx

Hmm doesn't seem to be working

Ima slowly turn up the heat

[neon root]

well it takes a minute to do, its not gonna instantly fix with 2 strokes

rolled up mousepads are rolled up for a while and can hold the roll for a while, gonna have to go over it a decent amount of times before it fixes

[abstract stratus]

I think it's getting better

Yup what you said def makes sense

[abstract stratus]

Any tips on cleaning a keyboard

[floral lake]

Take the keycaps off, clean em with iso alc

[abstract stratus]

Kk

[floral lake]

Then the board itself can be cleaned the same, you can use any tools to remove the dirt and grime if you need to as long as you don't scratch it

[abstract stratus]

Ah ic yea I was just going to use a cloth

[floral lake]

Just make sure there's no lint that could get stuck

[obsidian cypress]

Silver keycaps are so hard to keep clean....

I need to wipe them down 1-2 times a day.

[floral lake]

Shiny stuff gets smudges all the time

[abstract stratus]

Silver!?

Daym

[floral lake]

Yep

There's keycaps made out of actual silver

[abstract stratus]

Lmfao how much?

Prob like 300

[obsidian cypress]

Mine are electroplaced around ABS so they were much cheaper.

it was around 40.

[floral lake]

That allows them to still have lettters

Otherwise they would just be well, blank

[obsidian cypress]

How do they do the pure metal ones with letters then?

CNC?

[floral lake]

Yep, cnc

[obsidian cypress]

What are the different types of switches?

Considering buying switches for my keyboard.

[glass bear]

linear tactile clicky

[abstract stratus]

linear is often preferred as it is typically more quiet

at least from my past experience

[floral lake]

I like tactile a lot myself

It's a middle ground between loudness and feedback

[glass bear]

linear supremacy

[floral lake]

linear feels like no actuation is happening to me

[snow briar]

It’s speed

I like tactile for typing and linear for gaming

[daring zenith]

Tactile superiority

[white flame]

Membrane 4 lyfe

[daring zenith]

Being able to feel where the switch actuates and getting that feedback is great

[daring zenith]

Membrane does count as tactile most of the time

[white flame]

Yeah it does have a tactile feel to it

[floral lake]

I want the crisper feedback I get from mech keebs tho

Keycap hitting the plate is just simply more tactile, especially combined with tactile siwtches

Membranes are tactile, but they get the bottom out mushy feel

And often not light to press

[timber ridge]

topre go crazy

[white flame]

I just needed something cheap and quiet, this fits the bill perfectly. I'm not spending $180 on a quiet linear mech.

[snow briar]

Why not spend $300?

[white flame]

Because I like being able to eat more than 1 meal a day

[snow briar]

https://tenor.com/view/homeless-house-braindead-stupidity-buy-gif-26259659

[gaunt forge]

Nah I dont

I should really try linear someday

[queen sigil]

what

the keycap doesnt hit the plate

[queen sigil]

decent into madness

[devout fiber]

hey guys I havent talked here in a while but I have a friend looking to get some headphones under $100 primarily for gaming. What are you guys' recommendations? I was looking at the Sennheiser HD 559 since I have their HD 58X's and love them, i know it's a good brand, but wanted some other opinions

[neon root]

@glass bear doesnt seem like theyll be introducing a new shape as i was hoping unless theyre just showing this for the xl model or whichever they said was like 1% smaller of the air58

also gonna be real, it looks like a model o 💀

[timber ridge]

i hope i can secure one on launch

i dont wanna deal with resellers or new drops

[neon root]

suppose to be mass produced so you should be fine

well, maybe not first round. first round of anything is always bad

[timber ridge]

tru

i wonder how qc will be r1

[neon root]

hopefully they finally fixed the issues they said they fixed 20 times already with previous drops 💀

[timber ridge]

man this is gonna be an expensive summer for me

a lot of things releasing

[neon root]

same, i have a lineup of anime figures that ive pre-ordered 💀

[timber ridge]

😭

i jus spent 300 on a pc case bc NA got cucked

[neon root]

and depending on the qc of the finalmouse and if they release a new shape or not i may or may not get one

i was really hoping theyd have something like the gwolves hsk kinda shape just to switch it up for their lighter mice

i also have to stop myself from buying more csgo cases and slow down on pokemon cards because i want to get a new camera as well

[timber ridge]

hsk shape would p interesting but im happy with the ul shape

i get pokemon stuf discounted so its hard to pass up sometimes lmao

[neon root]

Sony zv-e10 is $700 for just body

[timber ridge]

videography ?

[neon root]

$800 with lens which is what im thinking of getting

video and photo

[timber ridge]

ic ic

[neon root]

i have 2 canon cameras but both are starting to show their age for some stuff that i do

granted one of them is the eos m which i got to play with magic lantern, the eos m came out in 2013

[timber ridge]

i want a fuji camera but i do not wanna fall down that rabbit hole

i almost picked up a zv e10 with a sigma 18-50mm recently

[neon root]

lot of noise

i can try and reduce noise just by changing settings but i could just get a better camera to get rid of noise all together

[timber ridge]

ive been wanting to upgrade my iems too but its gonna cost me more than i like

down bad in my hobbies

[timber ridge]

sheesh

[neon root]

this too, i plan on getting another custom keyboard cause wireless just bit too much of a headache

[timber ridge]

theres a few projects i plan on picking up in the near future

waiting on production runs tho bc i dont wanna ball out on protos anymore

[neon root]

tofu for my main pc that i play on but i have a wireless keychron for the second pc and i dont like that it goes to sleep when idle and even if i turn that off and just leave it on, then itll just eat up the battery and ill have to keep it plugged in and at that point i might as well just get a wired keyboard

[timber ridge]

what kb do you plan on picking up ?

[neon root]

either qk65 or just the new tofu

[timber ridge]

o nice

[neon root]

have this one go over to the second pc and the new keyboard be my main

[timber ridge]

i need a 65 in my collection again

i think ima go for corsa extras or get something made

[neon root]

too many hobbies

not enough money

[timber ridge]

real

[neon root]

custom painted mice too

second custom mouse is coming in this friday

[timber ridge]

dont fall into custom kb hobby

its way too expensive

[neon root]

i have the tofu, some akko keyboard, keychron q1, a gk65, a ducky x vermillo keyboard

[timber ridge]

dont go any further 😭

i started off with a cheap tecware board

went to spending 40 bucks to 400+

[neon root]

keyboard rabbit hole i dont plan on going too much further aside from the qk65 or tofu like i said. those keyboard there i thought were keyboards that was going to be my last but just ended up having problems in some way like the keychron q1 was suppose to be my 1 and only custom keyboard but the bezels were too big and bulky and the layout i ended up smacking my hand/mouse into

the ducky replaced my anne pro keyboard to be my first "premium" keyboard but the layout was too long and same problem of smacking my hand

gk65 was entry custom keyboard but cheap is cheap and it started having problems of not registering some keys

[floral lake]

hm since we're on topic of keyboards

[neon root]

the akko keyboard was suppose to replace this tofu but alas, same problem of smacking my hand into the keyboard because its long

[floral lake]

a local brand in thailand just launched a hotswap, 3 pin as expected on cheap keeb that has sub c

[neon root]

just cant do anything above 65%

[floral lake]

i really wanna get it myself lel

[timber ridge]

i think my first nice kb wasthe kbd65

[floral lake]

not keen of their keycap color schemes

[timber ridge]

then my first premium custom was a board i got made from a cheap manu in china

[timber ridge]

if the price is right and it checks out, then go for it

i use to get hs stuff but i never found myself swapping switches after i built it

[floral lake]

the price is less than $30

[neon root]

keyboard hobby arc will be done after this last build once i actually save up for it. really all i need is just the keyboard. I already have a extra set of keycaps and switches laying around that I want to use that were in the akko keyboard

[floral lake]

fixed rgb but it's dummy cheap lmao

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74ZGUWEwklo

[neon root]

eh, fixed rgb is fine unless you mean rgb as in rainbow puke

[timber ridge]

my kb hobby arc was supposed to be done after i sold most my collection

[floral lake]

all reviews are in thai, so imma just post this

[timber ridge]

it kinda is tbh, i jus buy stuff my friends make now

[floral lake]

it is rainbow puke, but segmented

idc too much though

[timber ridge]

its a p cool layout

[floral lake]

my current cheap mech with outemu switches is already having a segment of the lighting die on me

all the switches still work at least

[timber ridge]

my og outemu kb is used by my parents lmao

switches are lowkey smoother than all my stuff

[floral lake]

the kinda sad thing about this new keeb with hotswap is the choices are either blue or red

i have brown on my current

[neon root]

brown > blue or red

[floral lake]

for now though i'm focused on getting a case to protect my phone, so this will wait

but this one is definitely in my consideration

[neon root]

no case, go without case like me

i have yet to crack my phone

[floral lake]

waiting for tkl version

my phone is all glass tho

[neon root]

same

[timber ridge]

wat phones yall rocking

[neon root]

iphone 8+

[floral lake]

i have v30

[neon root]

havent been using a case since the day i got when it was still the brand new iphone

back in2017?

was it 2017 when this thing came out

[floral lake]

yeah around that

[timber ridge]

these last few years has been a blur

[floral lake]

well i have two phones

redmi 8 and v30 that i have just gotten less than a week

[timber ridge]

iphone finally getting type c is interesting

[neon root]

ye 2017 September, havent used a case and it only has very very small scratches

[floral lake]

it's a refurb

has very minor spot on the glass

[neon root]

i dont understand why they bent their knee to usb c, most dumb thing

[floral lake]

it's not a crack, but a ding

[neon root]

lightning is usb-c before usb-c

lightning is what people wanted their cables to be but didnt want to say that it was good because it was an apple product

[floral lake]

ngl i really have been liking tkl quite a lot

cuz i really need a compact keeb

preferably no wider than laptop

[timber ridge]

my mousepad eats up too much desk space

so i need like a 75 at the very smallest

[neon root]

ye ive been rocking 65% or 60% mainly due to just me playing low dpi and low sens

[floral lake]

optimally 75% would be nice

[timber ridge]

i dont even play low dpi but my mouse pad is decently size

[neon root]

75% i smack my keyboard

[timber ridge]

800dpi .35 sens

[floral lake]

i just want a 75% ultra cheap hotswap board lmao

1800 is okay too, it's just a touch wider than my laptop

[neon root]

1800

dpi?

[floral lake]

no

iso 1800 layout

for dpi i run 3200

[neon root]

💀

[timber ridge]

how

[neon root]

https://tenor.com/view/skull-gif-26280065

[floral lake]

i adjust windows sens down a notch or two

[neon root]

gotta do more than 2 notches

[floral lake]

and individually adjust settings in games

[neon root]

i freak out and feel like im going into hyperdrive light speed when a new mouse i plug in is defaulted to 1200 or 1600 dpi

[timber ridge]

high sens players are cracked tho

[neon root]

high sens, not high dpi

[floral lake]

actually i only adjusted down two notches

just checked rn lmao

[neon root]

windows mouse sens i leave at the default in the middle

[floral lake]

anyway

there is another brand that makes cheap hotswap usb c boards too

but 65%

f row missing is too much

[neon root]

nah

its just right

[floral lake]

for me it is

[neon root]

fn+number

ez

[floral lake]

i'd have to let go of my mouse to press those keys

[neon root]

stretch hand

i have smol hands and can reach fn+1

pinky and thumb

barely reach

but reach

[glass bear]

ngl i thought the exact same thing

it looks scarily like the model o 2 wireless

[floral lake]

i wish left fn key was a thing

that'd make things ez on 65%

[neon root]

change keybind to fn on left side

[floral lake]

oh right

i don't often use left alt so that key could work

i'll consider

cause again phone case before keeb

i already have one, dad will say some stuff to me if i get another one lmfao

[neon root]

he'll never know if you just hide the old one

[floral lake]

just waiting for bro's laptop keeb to break

so i can excuse it

[neon root]

oh no, this random brick fell on the laptop and only somehow broke the keyboard portion

[floral lake]

oh also

this one has configurable lighting

per key i think

banger value for lower than 30 bucks

copying yt thumbnails be like

[glass bear]

pro moniker on 30 dollar product is funny

but hotswap at this price is very impressive

wonder if tis actually cheaper to

[floral lake]

yeah lol

they also have the max version with bt+2.4 wireless

that one goes for 30

[deep kernel]

Can anyone point me to the best headphones for gaming at the moment? Audio is everything to me so im willing to spend a lot of money, although not anything past $600. I’ve done some research but i want to get an opinion or two before i settle on something.

[thorn grove]

headphones not headset right?

@deep kernel

[deep kernel]

Yep

[thorn grove]

do you have a DAC/AMP for PC?

[deep kernel]

Not yet but I’ll get one if i need to

[thorn grove]

also, would you prefer closed or open back

[deep kernel]

Either

[thorn grove]

which motherboard are you using, asking because I want to see how well the integrated audio is. \

[balmy lantern]

Are you in a noisy environment

[deep kernel]

Not really but a bit

[balmy lantern]

Yeah prob closed

[deep kernel]

Didnt mean to delete that

Meant to edit lol

[thorn grove]

sennheiser hd 560s would be my minimum requirement for pc gaming because of nice directional audio but its an openback

[deep kernel]

I was looking at that one yeah

[little crater]

560s is based i used it for a year

[deep kernel]

Any closed back suggestions?

[thorn grove]

been using Sennheisers for a few years now and they are super nice

[little crater]

super light too

dt 770 maybe

[thorn grove]

you can find replacement ear pads and replacement cables easily with sennheisers

[deep kernel]

Also thanks for not just saying “thats too expensive tone it down”

[balmy lantern]

For open back far recommended me hifiman he-x4s lol they're only 100usd

[deep kernel]

Ty

[little crater]

oh if its just for gaming then any decent gaming headset should be fine

[deep kernel]

Its not just for gaming

[thorn grove]

openback has better coughsoundstage cough

[little crater]

thanks for clarifying

[deep kernel]

Yeah sorry

[balmy lantern]

Buzz words🫶

[deep kernel]

Good to know

[thorn grove]

idk, i get better directional audio with open backs so that I can hear where people are coming from in first person shooters

thats just me

people swear by closed backs

[deep kernel]

Is there a big difference between 660s and 660s 2?

[thorn grove]

not sure.

do you really need 400+ dollar headset for pc

[deep kernel]

Probably not but im not a smart person so it evens out

Yeah I’ll probably go with 660s

Thanks for your help

[thorn grove]

you may want to invest in a decent dac/amp

660s is like uh 150 ohm

[deep kernel]

Alr

[deep kernel]

O

Probably a good idea then lol

[thorn grove]

look over the 560S again if you'd like, they go on sale often for like 135-150

[deep kernel]

Oh epic

Ill wait for that then

[west hornet]

the market for closed headphones is a bit weird rn. I heard of a few decent ones on the cheaper end like the Blon B50 for ~120usd, besides those it shoots right up to around the 700-1000usd range with the deon clarkes, focal celestees, etc. The only ones I recall in the mid range are the focal elegias which can often be found around 300-400usd but from what I hear they may not be for everyone so if you do take a look at them just double check return policies. If you are into iems there are many options in the mid and low price brackets like the moondrop blessing 3s that just released

[neon root]

the xxl superglide is a bit excessive 😂

[white flame]

It doesn't help that they used the tiniest keyboard and mouse they could lol

Logo is bigger than the keeb

[neon root]

thats the deathadder v3, not that small

[glass bear]

a glass desk pad is dumb af

makes your keyboard sound

imo worse

and is so expensive

[neon root]

kinda wish i got one for free

why cant i be big youtuber to get sent free mousepads and mice

would be funny for the memes

[gaunt forge]

My kinda mousepad

[timber ridge]

I needa bigger desk

[gaunt forge]

Wolfgang you should be a reviewer!

Exclusive Newegg Reviewer

[neon root]

its all glass, its for no one except those that want to meme

the normal and xl is fine, xxl is not fine

[white flame]

That has to be a nightmare being all glass. It better be VERY well packed.

[glass bear]

that picture is a youtubers twitter

ykw theres a solution

get a mouse pad for the keyboard

[obsidian cypress]

Are there any switches that can make my keyboard sound like a type writer?

[tight pulsar]

yeah https://youtu.be/ZT9CHub9Cxs

[little crater]

peak keyboard

[queen sigil]

when the beam is a spring

[timber ridge]

There was a recent gb board with optional solenoid

[obsidian cypress]

I NEED THESE

[neon root]

@glass bear new mouse and mousepad combo

[balmy lantern]

Love the mousepad

[glass bear]

fire

my friends going to japan this summer so im getting an artisan

[neon root]

nice

they should be roughly around $50 i think or at least the hien

[glass bear]

In Japan they're 20 or so

[neon root]

ye most cost comes from the shipping

international shipping with the package being flat do raise price

[obsidian cypress]

this sounds different now that I have my headset on....

I was hoping I could make my keyboard sound like this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bis7wzCFaEo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHZqZ1yoRPo&t=36s

[tight pulsar]

tbh i never listened to the one i sent

[west hornet]

Just buy a typewriter and turn it into a keyboard ofc

[white flame]

You can get kinda similar sounds with loud clicky keys, a metal frame, and leaving out padding

[obsidian cypress]

Metal frame like what the Keychron Q6 has?

[obsidian cypress]

What do you mean by padding?

Is the foam inside the keyboard or in the switch?

Does the Q6 come with any?

Gotcha.

What switches do you guys recommend? I'd like some with a lump thump.

Argh darn autocorrect.

Switches with a loud thump.

What does tactile sound like again?

I just want whichever switches that can replicate the loud thump of a typewriter.

Oh okay. Yeah that'd be nice.

[dapper adder]

What's a good wireless around-neutral sounding around-ear headphone for under $300 cad incl tax (so more like $250

Closed back would be ideal, noise isolation preferred, anc optional

Step 1: buy a typewriter

Hmm

Yeah I've been considering that one, but what is the other competition

[dapper adder]

Hmmm I'll look into that as well

[floral lake]

Q45 is fairly decent

[dapper adder]

hmm, overall in terms of features, it does seem like the q45 is the better option for me than the others i've looked at

main feature that sold me over the other options is that it's foldable lmao

much better for shoving into a bag

[spiral geode]

i bought a webcam on fm and i dont know how to install the drivers to get it to work beacuse it wont show on control pannel and i cant find the drivers for the brand online

[dapper adder]

It probably doesn't have drivers then
Try plugging it into a USB 3.0 header on your motherboards onboard io
If that doesn't work, it's probably dead

Webcams tend to not work well with usb hubs

In my experience at least

Hmm. Well, even so, the q45 still has a bit more of an edge imo so I'll still get that (once it goes on sale since my slightly broken headphones can still hold up for at least a little while longer)

[white flame]

Especially high res ones, USB bandwidth and latency gets iffy with more things plugged in

[spiral geode]

I dont think its dead beacuse the lights come on indicating power up

But ill try plugging it into usb 3

[dapper adder]

did it work

[dapper adder]

Is it safe to assume that it did so they aren't checking here anymore lmao

[spiral geode]

sorry i fell asleep

it was 12 am for me

but thank you so much it did work

[wheat lagoon]

what a good gaming keyboard under 80 bucks. i prefer red switches or some silent, not a full keyboard.

[shadow bane]

Pretty much anything keychron is a good choice, I've the k4 (basically a full, it's a 96%) and I love it

I think c2 is one of their smaller keyboards?

[floral lake]

C2 is a tkl

[shadow bane]

Any input/opinions on these?

$40 on sale as of sending message

[neon root]

sheeeesh, lot of switches

[obsidian cypress]

What headphones do you guys recommend? Looking into getting some new ones I can spend about $150-200.

I'd prefer ones that leak sound in.

[little crater]

560s

[pale cosmos]

That^

[obsidian cypress]

What brand is it so it's easier to find.

[pale cosmos]

Sennheiser

[obsidian cypress]

Also how is the sound quality compared to the Blackshark V2?

[pale cosmos]

Night and day

[obsidian cypress]

Forgot one last thing. Are there any good ones with Bluetooth in this price range?

[pale cosmos]

Idk about bluetooth but wireless? Cloud II wireless probably

[obsidian cypress]

My bad meant wireless.

[little crater]

wouldnt bother with bluetooth

[pale cosmos]

Not an immense upgrade over the regulars tho

[obsidian cypress]

I am fine with wired though wireless would be nice.

[pale cosmos]

Yeah agreed

[little crater]

something with a dongle is prefered

hyperx wireless headsets are pretty nice for the price

[pale cosmos]

Pc38x is nice too but not wireless

[obsidian cypress]

How do they compare to the 560s audio quality wise?

[pale cosmos]

That idk

I can't remember what cloud ii's sound like

[obsidian cypress]

This the right one?

https://www.amazon.com.mx/Sennheiser-Consumer-Audio560S-Audífonos-Abiertos/dp/B08J9MVB6W/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?crid=1AGJKCW8G7J8T&keywords=sennheiser+560s&qid=1685416115&sprefix=senheisener+560%2Caps%2C157&sr=8-1-spons&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.66c34496-0d28-4d73-a0a1-97a8d87ec0b2&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyRFNSUU1ZVEk5VVhPJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMzMyNTg5M0NDNEU5QkZQS0ZHTiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMDY2NTcwMldYNjJaNjc3SDlVUiZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX3Bob25lX3NlYXJjaF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl

Besides the 560s what are other good options in the $150-200 range?

So I can keep an eye on prices for the next couple weeks while I save up.

[pale cosmos]

Yeah these

[little crater]

dt 990 are pretty good

little bright tho

[obsidian cypress]

What do you mean by bright?

[little crater]

the 8khz+ range is more pronounced

its not too bad, and it only takes like 2 weeks to get used to in my experience

[timber ridge]

p sure akg 632/1 have a bt version

that would be ur best bet

[little crater]

i personally dont mind that sound sig, but most dont like it

[timber ridge]

362*

[obsidian cypress]

Does the DT990 Pro or 560s leak sound?

Just looked it up and it seems they leak a lot.

[little crater]

wym by this

[obsidian cypress]

Mistyped a little. Was trying to say I'd prefer a headphone that doesn't let sound leak in so like if I have fans or audio going on around me I won't hear it much.

[little crater]

ohhhhhh

we were suggesting open back headphones

which leak sound in/out a ton

so you want closed backs

that isolate you from the surrounding environment

[obsidian cypress]

My current ones the Razer Blackshark is called a open back but they don't leak much sound in. If they're like those I'd be fine with them.

[timber ridge]

akg 362/1 are gonna be ur best bet

sound sig wise, theyre gonna be somewhat similar to what youre use to but improved in every aspect by a lot

[obsidian cypress]

What does sound sig mean?

[timber ridge]

sound signature

[obsidian cypress]

How bad is the leakage from the DT990 Pro because at about $160 with fast delivery it's quite tempting especially since it looks a lot more comfortable than my Blackshark.

[queen sigil]

not many things can be more uncomfortable

[wheat lagoon]

what a good gaming keyboard under 80 bucks. i prefer red switches or some silent, not a full keyboard.

[queen sigil]

thanks for asking the same question

how about you scroll up to the first time you asked

[wheat lagoon]

is Keychron C1 good???

[wheat lagoon]

my apologies i didn't see

[shadow bane]

Yes

[calm cobalt]

hd6xx (ik im a little late but these are some of the best audiofile headphones for this budget

[obsidian cypress]

Is audiophile a brand or like a certain grade? Sorry I don't know much about headphones.

[calm cobalt]

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

An audiophile is a person who is enthusiastic about high-fidelity sound reproduction. An audiophile seeks to reproduce the sound of a piece of recorded music or a live musical performance, typically inside closed headphones, In-ear monitors, open headphones in a quiet listening space, or a room with good acoustics.

the sennheiser hd6xx

i love mine

super comfy as well

for ideal audio quality also get a little apple usb c to 3.5mm adapter

as its also a mini amp

[obsidian cypress]

Which is better audio quality wise the DT990 Pro or the HD6XX?

Why are all the HD600 series headphones $400+....

[calm cobalt]

im pretty sure the hd6xx are better

where do you see them for that much?

[obsidian cypress]

Amazon.com.mx

As that includes import fees if there are any.

Also I gtg I appreciate the help and will check later when I am back.

[calm cobalt]

https://drop.com/buy/massdrop-sennheiser-hd6xx

[timber ridge]

best is p subjective

and 6xx def would need a dac/amp compared to some of the alternatives

[west hornet]

6xx is a safer bet, both are pretty decent but the 990 pro has a lot of high frequencies that may be uncomfortable to some people. I would always recommend trying in person or using return policies to try out first. If you are in US I believe even some microcenters have 990 pro you can try in store

[obsidian cypress]

I am in MX unfortunately.

Are high frequencies good for games?

Because I also play competitive COD, Halo, and Fortnite.

[timber ridge]

it depends on the user, some ppl are sensitive to it

but most ppl adapt to it after a while unless ur ears are really sensitive

[obsidian cypress]

I have very good hearing, is that what you mean by sensitive? Or do you mean like where high frequencies are annoying type of sensitive?

[timber ridge]

the high frequencie part

id prob go with 6xx personally, especially if you like a mid centric sound signature

[obsidian cypress]

Is it literally HD6xx?

[timber ridge]

ye

you may wanna get a dac/amp for it tho

[obsidian cypress]

.....

[timber ridge]

its pretty amp dependent and a bit more demanding

[obsidian cypress]

$400....

[timber ridge]

check out the akg 362

or 361

[obsidian cypress]

Is the HD599 good?

Found the special edition for $150

[timber ridge]

cant remember how they compare tbh

[obsidian cypress]

NVM the special edition sold out, the normal one is still selling for $150

[obsidian cypress]

AKG Pro K361?

[obsidian cypress]

What does a dac/amp do exactly? I am reading up on the HD599 and DT 990 Pro and I keep hearing about recommending a dac/amp and something about OHMs.

The HD560s is a bit out of budget so I am trying to decide between the HD599 and DT990 Pro.

[neon root]

basically dac = usb for your headphones since those headphones have a 3.5mm or larger jack
amp = make music louder because those headphones are quiet

basically

they can do different things as well or sound different paired with other headphones but you can find some that a lot of people agree on that are good baselines

or just good in general

[snow briar]

You need a schiit audio experience

[gaunt forge]

I cant tell if that's a joke or an actual product...

[white flame]

Schiit stacks, yeah they're real

And very nice too

[snow briar]

I love my schiit

[thorn grove]

My schiit hel2 trucking along

[gaunt forge]

that's a damn good quote out of context, but nice!

if they weren't so expensive I would've recommended my friend buy one

[neon root]

we all have schiit

i have it too, modi/magni

[snow briar]

It’s schiit heresy to not have schiit

I’ll see myself out

So I should get a USB A to 3.5mm dac? Along with an amp to amplify the volume?

[floral lake]

There's dac amps around

Two things in one package

[obsidian cypress]

I see.

How's the bass on the DT990 Pro compared to the HD599?

[obsidian cypress]

Something like this?
https://www.amazon.com.mx/Amplificadores-decodificación-Decodificador-Amplificador-Auriculares/dp/B07VRLTXSM/ref=mp_s_a_1_11?crid=2LTI2GZC1HTY4&keywords=usb+dac&qid=1685550787&sprefix=usb+dc%2Caps%2C3897&sr=8-11

[floral lake]

ya basically

[obsidian cypress]

That that should handle amp, dac, and audio mixer options right?

Also I noticed it has treble control so would that help if I got the DT990 Pro?

[ivory fable]

I'm not a big reader, but that looks like it says 30

[cyan basalt]

I guess it was a mistake 🤣

[shadow bane]

How are hyperx cloud stinger s for $12?

[floral lake]

Trash honestly, but can't complain for $12

Muddy sound

[shadow bane]

Audios bad or mic?

I got a pair of hs35s for a dirt cheap price too but the mic doesn't work, so I just ordered those

Theyre for my partner who has barely even used a windows pc before, so as long as they work and aren't complete e-waste, good enough

[floral lake]

Audio sucks on it

Mic is okay

I mean I wouldn't say it's ewaste

Just bleh product

[gaunt forge]

I would recommend ordinary headphones at that point. Or steelseries

[floral lake]

$12 though lol

[west hornet]

if comfort isn't too much concern ksc75 has very nice sound quality for sub 20usd

or 20usd iems if you don't mind them

[gaunt forge]

Simply put, don't get the HyperX's

[shadow bane]

Already got them, but I'm not going to end up using them. Going to get a pair of Logitech g933 for pretty cheap. Dad's friend gets sent products to write reviews about and sells them afterwards

[queen sigil]

nothing like replacing garbage with garbage

[elder current]

Ok i need your help my microphone had broke so now im looking into getting a usb dynamic now i cant really tell the difference here between them but the old microphone was a condensor now i have the fifine k651 usb dynamic that comes with the mount now idc if the microphone you reccomend doesnt have a mount those mounts are cheap i just need to know which usb dynamic mic would be good

Or would this mount actually work for the microphone

[elder current]

Or what dynamic microphone with interface and the desk mount for under 120

[queen sigil]

uhh idk about an interface

@west hornet

do ur thing

[west hornet]

tight budget for full xlr not that it can't be done, although perhaps I'd take a look at something like the samson q2u as it runs around ~50usd and supports both xlr and usb so if you want a audio interface later on you can add it in. Another option similar to the q2u that is also usb/xlr is the audio technica atr2100x.
So you can look up reviews for those 2 and see which you like more

[queen sigil]

or if you dont need dynamic just like a nice usb mic

[calm cobalt]

Out of stock

Kinda wanted that mouse

[wanton wagon]

Seems like I accidentally bought a 6.35mm pair of headphones, are there any adapters to get for a normal jack size?

Got the hifiman he400se

Nvm lol. Just had to unscrew

[west hornet]

oh ye most of those headphones are 3.5mm with 1/4" adapter but I believe 1/4" to 3.5mm adapters do exist. I feel like I saw one floating in my house somewhere

[thick garden]

Everything exists (on AliExpress)

[white flame]

You can even find VGA to DP adapters on ali. They don't work but they exist! (it would need to be a powered active converter to work, translating analog to digital)

[thick garden]

That's one scam I at least didn't fall for

Where are my fricking 40mm fans?? 🥲 It's been 4 months

[white flame]

Cut a 120mm

[thick garden]

Hmhmhm

Imma cut my beloved thermalright fans

And I also found out they can be daisy chained

Just what I was looking for

[white flame]

Anything can be daisy chained if you're brave enough

[thick garden]

CPUs?

[white flame]

Some creative soldering and you're in

[thick garden]

4096 cables for daisy chained threadrippers

[gaunt forge]

Y'all know how to fix JBL headphones not pausing?

I got new live 660nc headphone and the media button is so bad

[steep pelican]

hey i want to get a headphone and dac set up whats a good combo for around 150 bucks

[hollow flower]

https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Q2UPack--samson-q2u-recording-and-podcasting-pack-usb-xlr-dynamic-microphone-with-accessories

Then a Behringer UM2 to go along with it

[west hornet]

I think the m track solo measures slightly better at a very similar price

[obsidian cypress]

Lmao.

[neon plinth]

yooo free house fire

[obsidian cypress]

I get the sense that this is the type of thing they use in like movie theatres or data centers where you have a crud ton of electronics

[neon plinth]

that would make sense but it still seems like a bad idea if everything is plugged in

[obsidian cypress]

not to this size but I've seen similar in about a 3rd of the size.

Does Razer make any good headphones? I like the software's abillity to set presets for everything so I can have like a gaming preset, music preset, etc.

[west hornet]

not really. the only headset i thought was kind of ok was one of the blacksharks but those are more budget oriented

[obsidian cypress]

I have a Blackshark V2 Pro currently.

[west hornet]

yeah razer doesn't have a very good upgrade path with audio. If you wanted to get an upgrade with headphones or such you can go with a different manufacturer and use a software like equalizerAPO to set systemwide eqs and make different presets for different uses

[obsidian cypress]

Gotcha.

Considering the DT770 since those are closed back.

Any issues or other ones within a similar price range you recommend?

[timber ridge]

Akg 362/1 will be better around the same price point

[shut cobalt]

hey i have the blue yeti it has a weird issues like it doesn't always work so i have to reconnect it from time to time and also when im playing a demanding game friends on discord don't hear me good

what could fix this issues?

maybe i should use the warranty?

[pale cosmos]

Sounds like the cable you're using either went bad or it's not up to scratch with running it

If you have an underspec/damaged cable those mics will disconnect/reconnect/fail to reconnect like that

Same with the usb port

[shut cobalt]

so what you advise me to do?
get a new cable or use warranty

[pale cosmos]

Try a usb 3 port or change cable yes

If neither then warranty

[shut cobalt]

ok

[pale cosmos]

Cable too long can also be a cause like, over 5 metres

[shut cobalt]

it's the cable that came from the box

also Logitech software doesn't recognize the mic for some reason

[pale cosmos]

Logi capture?

Yeah it sounds a lot like a bad cable

[shut cobalt]

g hub

[pale cosmos]

Oh no idea about g hub

[shut cobalt]

loading resources

nothing changed there

also i connected the mic to the green usb that meant for bios update files this couldn't be the issue right?

[pale cosmos]

?

Idk, as long as it's usb 3

Specifically usb 3

[shut cobalt]

i think it's 2 not sure

[pale cosmos]

It should be blue

[shut cobalt]

yeah i know

i will try it thanks

[pale cosmos]

[shut cobalt]

i tried it and it didn't fix the problem 😦

[latent hull]

Would a schiit stack and HD6XX be a good combo?

[pale cosmos]

Afaik pretty decent

[rigid valve]

yeah thats solid

[snow briar]

I have that exact setup and love it

[neon wharf]

Hello just wanted to ask if there are any good gaming earbuds with the same shape as the apple earpods?

[floral lake]

Not any that I can see

[steel spire]

am looking to buy the hhyper x cloud 2 , but people say that gaming headsets arnt usually good , is there a mic / headphones combo that will be around the same price range ,

cheaper if possible

u know what , ignore the mic thing ,

[floral lake]

As for cloud 2, it's actually one decent headset

Mic is also decent

[balmy lantern]

I have the cloud x which are similar and can confirm they're nice

Sound pretty good for the price too

[shadow bane]

Creative sxfi gamer, Logitech g933, or steelseries Siberia 800? All same price

[floral lake]

G933

[shadow bane]

wb astro a20s vs g933?

[steep pelican]

Looking for headphones around 175-200 dollars, is akg 371 the best option at that price point or is there anything better

[obsidian cypress]

I was recommend the Senheisser HD 560 Pro.

Or if your lucky you may be able to get the 600 series for the same price.

[steep pelican]

im not trying to get a dac at the moment

so probably not used sennheisers

[obsidian cypress]

Ahh then idk.

[molten bronze]

I am so used to a laptop keyboard

It has the tenkey

Now I am just looking for a bord with extra/excessive or programmable buttons

Id have to give up the slide between keys I could do with my flat keyboard if I went with something different

But I do like the feel of those thick chunky keys

[floral lake]

I could still type with slide, with some adaptations to a taller less flat keycap profile on common cheap mech keebs

As for that, I would suggest you looking into keychron

[hasty quail]

I'm looking for a headset with good audio and mic, for gaming and WFH VoIP/SIP, would like wireless but wired options are good as well. Currently using a HyperX Cloud II wired

[white flame]

Budget?

And are you in the US?

[hasty quail]

I would like to stay below 150, and yes US

[gaunt forge]

Anyone know a good pair of wireless headphones for a guy with glasses?

I tried out the JBL 660ncs, too small for my head and a little jank

[obsidian cypress]

Would any amp work with a headphone?

Cause when I look up amps I mostly see guitar amps.

[west hornet]

No you have to look for headphones amps, this site has some https://apos.audio/collections/headphone-amps-preamps

[floral lake]

How about the classic

Schitt stack?

[west hornet]

There is that too but id only get it from their official site

[tight pulsar]

i got some off r/avexchange and they're solid

just make sure they have rep

[timber ridge]

I wanna upgrade my stack but I have no reason to

[obsidian cypress]

DACs are for mixing audio right?

Just wanted to confirm.

[white flame]

DAC = digital to analog converter
Your PC sends a digital signal, but headphones can't use that digital signal to produce sounds so it has to be converted to analog at some point.

[obsidian cypress]

oh lmao.

Just realized I sent this to the wrong channel and server.

wups

[obsidian cypress]

Does a Dac normally also have a mixer or get those separate?

[white flame]

There can be a combo unit or it can be separate

[obsidian cypress]

Any amps and mixers you guys recommend? Preferably on the budget side of things.

Because one thing I love about my Blacksharks is the abillity to mix the audio.

[west hornet]

dac is separate, what you may be looking for is a interface/mixer combo. some dac/amps may have a mixing software but a true mixer would be something like this

typically used for multi track recording or live events

if you are simply looking for a device that has a software for mixing application audio some of elgato's mics and interfaces may interest you as they also have the ability to output separate mixes for headphones and stream. Don't know how good their headphone outs are though

[steel spire]

is the hyper x cloud 2 wireless the same exact thing , exept wireless???

cuz its double the price

[floral lake]

yes

they are the same

[molten bronze]

Thank

[pale cosmos]

https://youtu.be/c64yGHLO-TU

Oh neat, they did the wooting treatment to it

Not as great but a start

[floral lake]

As a free fw update to existing product too

Pretty nice to know

[dapper adder]

drivers and such are the same, but the wireless has the addition of a DAC inside (so that it can run wirelessly) and doesn't accept any analog inputs

[dapper adder]

what's the budget? also jbl kinda mid tbh

[dapper adder]

what is your use case exactly?

• hardware controls for software audio levels
• hardware controls for hardware audio levels (instruments, mics, line in)
• multitrack recording for DAWs
  the more detailed the easier it is to recommend for a specific use case

for hardware controls for software, there is a pricy option from pcpanel, but you can also diy, and there may be people who do it on etsy and such

the uhhhh goxlr also does it

almost forgot the name of it lmao

[west hornet]

wireless is not an easy thing. for something like recording I can't really recommend anything except the aiaiai studio wireless or if something similar came out recently. for general listening I thought most mainstream ones were pretty ok like the bose qc35 or sony xm4 although quite bloated.
Ones I would personally use would probably be airpods pro or max as I thought they sounded decent but at a premium price and the max has some stupid downsides like the lack of a power button

[gaunt forge]

I'm thinking 300$ max. I want the best I can get while not horrifically pricey

[dapper adder]

hmm, maybe the bose QC 35 ii, or the jabra elite 85h
or soundcore q45
those seem to be pretty ok for bigger heads at least, from my little amount of research in the reviews section lmao

[gaunt forge]

I don't even know if I can trust review sections anymore. I'll take your word for these options though

[dapper adder]

eh, you gotta filter through them

def don't trust every review you see

[dapper adder]

upon further research, looks like the jabra might be a bit small, so stick with the bose or soundcore i guess

the AKG Pro Audio K361BT should also work with your head, but some reviews say the foam is a bit too stiff, which might not be comfortable for glasses, or not make a good seal

though even with softer foam, glasses does tend to not make the best of seals around the ears

[gaunt forge]

I'm not picky on the seal. Thanks

Shame tho, the Jabra seemed really nice for what they were

[calm cobalt]

What do u guys think is the cheapest but still easy way to get an airplay audio solution using a pi or pi alternative

[dapper adder]

https://github.com/FD-/RPiPlay

Or https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-airplay-receiver/

[calm cobalt]

Yea but like what pi/pi alternative would be the cheapest that works

Cuz non of the real pi’s r ever in stock

I know how to set it up

[dapper adder]

Ah

You can try the bananapi on aliexpress, me and a friend use them and they are good

Orangepi is also good from what I've heard

(And two monitors)

[thick garden]

What are some good and reliable 3d printers for about 250 or less? (Could even be 300 and i can check if Amazon offers coupons)

And please don't even name the ender 3 pro because it's not as good as people say it is

[dapper adder]

How about something from anycubic

[thick garden]

Is the anycubic kobra neo a good option? It's very cheap and seems to offer a lot for such a low price

(179)

[dapper adder]

very good for the price

btw i also found quite a cheap dual filimant printer

the geeetech (there are 4 e's in this lmao) a10m

they also have a few triple filimant printers

[proper summit]

Gaming mice suggestions for like 80$ or less ?

[gaunt forge]

What mouse did you use before?

[proper summit]

a pretty bad one that came with my prebuilt

msi clutch gm11

stuck between these too at the moment

[floral lake]

those are good choices

[gaunt forge]

those are pretty heavy mice btw. are you interested in fps or strategy?

[floral lake]

heavy mice though but that comes with the size for big hands

[gaunt forge]

oh and don't get the 502X, that thing makes weird noises

[proper summit]

ah damn i was just plannin too

[proper summit]

fps ig but i dont really game that much anyway so i dont think ill care too much

[gaunt forge]

eh, a 502 normal should be fine

if you want a lighter mouse, look into a viper mini or Burst Pro Wired/wireless

or go cheap with G305 like most people

[proper summit]

hows the specs of the 502 compared to the 502 x?

ill search it up actually

i appreciate the help tho

[gaunt forge]

Essentially the same tbh

only difference is one is newer and has different switches. Not really gonna matter all that much

[proper summit]

ones a lot heavier tho isnt it

from what im seeing

[gaunt forge]

but the newer one sounds hollow. Newer one is heavier i think but the mouse is heavy in general

[proper summit]

gotcha

[gaunt forge]

oh hey forgot this existed, this mouse also has loads of buttons but is smaller and lighter

[proper summit]

oh thats cool too

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4C0nKPZaFQ

yeah i definitely hear the sound difference

[floral lake]

g300s

pretty old but still fine i guess

i just don't like logis that lacks hero sensor lol

[gaunt forge]

is the 305 a hero sensor?

[floral lake]

yes

the one i have does use hero sensor

[gaunt forge]

huh

cool.

still don't like the software so I'm gonna avoid buying anymore Logitech mice

[floral lake]

can always use older logitech gaming software

if you get the older models

or heck the more recent ones

[gaunt forge]

no i do

but I uh...have a mouse problem

there are 4 different mice plugged in at once

[floral lake]

oh

that explains it

[gaunt forge]

the only software that has issues with this are razer and Logitech

otherwise everything is fine

[dapper adder]

💀

why 4 mice

[gaunt forge]

because I like options

and not using a 50g mice every time. sometimes I like having a heavy mouse

or a GPW

or an s2

[shadow bane]

lmao i have a kone pro air that I had broken a while back, I just found it and took it out and plugged it in

clicking still wasnt working so i hit it a few times with my hand (the bottom of it)

working perfectly fine now lmao

wait that's a lie the scroll wheel is still finicky

[dapper adder]

me using my wired walmart gaming mouse that i bought several years ago:

the buttons are slightly starting to die on me though

[shadow bane]

I pretty much never rage but I may have once and hit it against my desk slightly too hard

[dapper adder]

i bought it 5 years ago for highschool lmao and just stuck with it

[gaunt forge]

yeah pro tip, if it breaks just get another cheap one

I fell into a rabbit hole

[shadow bane]

i have a mouse I use, if i can fix this one It'll be for my partner

who's using a cheap mouse from skytech

[dapper adder]

ewaste?

[shadow bane]

pretty much

[gaunt forge]

fun

[shadow bane]

ignore that

[floral lake]

I just get one mouse for all

Don't really see the point of using light mice tbh

Makes sense if you wanna be a pro in fps games maybe

[shadow bane]

I only use one, the kone pro just broke

And then I got an omen mouse on clearance from best buy for $20. I know why that model was on clearance, it broke for absolutely no reason after two weeks

And from there I got my current mouse, which is a razer something or other that I forget the name of

Orochi v2, I just checked

I've had a bad history with mice

Before the kone pro I used a redragon k502 iirc, was a great mouse for $20 just way way way too heavy for valorant

Nvm, it was an m602

yo anyone know of any good record players for under $150 usd (used or new idc)

[sharp void]

anyone have suggestions for a wired keypad with arrowkeys, and a CD/DVD external drive? Neither have to be top of the line stuff, but would like decent quality, as well as mechanical for the keypad if at all possible. please @ me or reply to this message when you respond so I notice it

On his, he can convert records, 8 tracks, and CD's to music on his iphone

and i didn't check conversion but should be close?

its $133.38USD

cheap MMO mice are the best. I had one that lasted me for 7 years abouts that was $15-20CAD from The Source, only broke when one of the internal components broke. I have a corsair mouse ($70CAD iirc) that is 4 months old, and the middle button barely works anymore

https://www.ebay.ca/itm/125008973572 this was legitimately my favourite mouse ever

but no longer can find it 😦

outside of things like ebay

[calm cobalt]

Idk I’ve heard a lot of ppl saying that Victorila turntables scratch records

[dense marten]

What are some good/great speakers for gaming/video watching -$100?

[neon root]

sadge day, i am finally retiring my razer viper ultimate. It now shall collect dust along with the other mice I have sitting on a shelf

[snow briar]

What mouse are you maining now?

[gaunt forge]

Rip in pepperonis

it will be missed, and then forgotten behind the m800

[neon root]

wasnt really maining it for gaming, it was being used for my second pc. but the pulsefire haste is coming out of retirement and replacing it

for gaming rn im using the lamzu atlantis mini

but the viper ultimate just causeing too much trouble now with the dock and i dont feel like cleaning it every single day in order for it to charge properly and the side grip is finally wearing out even more looking like how Mr1111's viper ultimate where the rubber sides is starting to tear

[hasty quail]

what's the take on the CORSAIR HS55 wireless headset?

[floral lake]

meh

[ivory fable]

I only have experience with the HS80 wireless but i really enjoy them, extremely comfy and don't sound great out the box but sound pretty good after you EQ them

[hasty quail]

thanks for the input, I might actually check them out, I have a cpl gift cards from Best Buy i might use to get a pair

[ivory fable]

Np

[astral verge]

Does anybody know any good, premium PC speakers that come with a Subwoofer

[dapper adder]

how premium

[west hornet]

I've seen some very nice speakers come out recently but what kind of price braket are we talking

[dapper adder]

and what config? 2.1? 5.1? 7.1? 7.2? 9.2? 7.1.2? 9.2.4? some other setup?

imagine not having the 2.4 setup frfr

left and right channels and 4 subs surrounding you to rattle your very existence

[west hornet]

I think you might make them implode in their chair

[gaunt forge]

I might be making a mistake, but I'm returning my QC 45's for Sony XB910N's

[floral lake]

xb910n is inherently worse tho

[gaunt forge]

I tried it out in store, it wasn't that bad

plus I wanna use the money I saved for a pair of earbuds too

[floral lake]

Fair enough then

[upbeat portal]

Not tried this before, but seems my airpods don't work connected to my desktop, mono mode worked but I just wanna listen to music while doing some rennovations to my room and it sounds like dog####, and I dont get any audio from stereo mode 😦

anyone know why

seems fine in windows 🤷‍♂️

[upbeat portal]

nevermind, for any possible future reference the a2DP stereo on the airpods is weird and it seems resetting my network settings worked

[neon root]

@glass bear no need to install software it seems for the fm ultralightx which is nice

i wont have to install my 40th app

still love it though when companies try not to say rgb, "elegant light fixture" or something like that they said

[glass bear]

oh yeah i saw the clip

if they pull a finalmouse tenz

and start preorders 5 minutes after the twitch goes up

i might be in trouble

im gonna be in joshua tree national park this saturday

[neon root]

rip

[glass bear]

fr

gonna pray that Verizon has coverage there

are you buying

[neon root]

probably not since its the air58 shape but just varying sizes. if it was the same fingertip shape like the gwolves hsk 4k then i probably wouldve

[glass bear]

I c

there's a new gwolves mice coming apparently

hts but 26 grams is crazy

if it's solid shell plastic that's gonna actually be nuts

[neon root]

also rn im slowin a little bit on buying mice and mousepads because anime figures are coming out that im trying to buy

and a new keyboard too

too much stuff
