Hey everyone! I built a new PC recently and finally bought a video card for it. It came with a copy of Crimson Desert which I installed last night (after taking a few days to recover my Steam account I hadn't used in 10 years lol). When I went to run the game, a message popped up saying the experience is intended for a controller...
While I've done some googling and used a couple AIs to help, I wanted to see what REAL people use.
What are you using these days? Anyone have a recommendation?

Hey everyone! I built a new PC recently and finally bought a video card for it. ...
If I was buying a new controller I'd probably be looking at gamesir g7 he for ~$50. Pretty standard xbox layout with a couple of back buttons. I have the older g7 se and it's been good. The g7 he has a nicer d pad and face buttons.

Curious on your guys opinion. I personally would never buy something like this, but it is pretty cheap. Worth you think?

It’s one of the best controllers out there, for a third of an Xbox controller

I have one of the pink wired ones and it was only $15 at the time. I really don't like where it puts the extra buttons though. It's also a bit smaller than standard so if you have big hands you might not like it. I don't think anything else that cheap is even remotely in the same league though.

I've compared it hands-on with an xbox controller and it's not so much smaller, just the grips are a bit more vertical

I won an MSI Strike Pro keyboard and Versa Pro mouse a month or so ago. Other than the software, both are pretty nice. The mouse feels similar to a Logitech G502 (one of my favs).

The only QC issue I experienced was the little cover over the power/charging indicator light on the keyboard. The adhesive isn't holding it down the best. A little glue would solve that. Can't complain too much for free.
If I was buying then sure, I'd choose something else for each. Maybe a G502 variant mouse or something similarly shaped to the Razer Deathadder. Not sure about keyboards. I like the feeling of clicky keys, but they have to be pretty quiet.

Yeah it's kinda neat that they include both types of cable out of the box instead of needing to buy balanced cables separately
Though balanced headphone cables are kinda not needed
They are only useful for harder to drive headphones

It's $50 cheaper fairly regularly but I'd say it's discounted enough to be a good deal. The b5 isn't super bright though so if you have big windows/lots of glare you might want to try to find something else. The higher end ones like c5 and s90f will be a lot more expensive though and the g5/g6 and s95f are stupidly expensive.

Hello, with most new gaming PCs coming out without an option for optical drives other than by external hookup, I'm stumped. I have a Samsung 4K UHD television as well as a new Samsung 4K Ultradisc HD Blu-ray player for watching the newer 4K Ultradisc Blu-ray movies as they come out and was looking for an option to watch those same discs in the intended 4K format on my pc. I'm looking to either have a company build me a nice gaming pc or end up learning to build my own. I found a Pioneer 4K Blu-ray internal optical drive with Ultradisc HD playback on Newegg but wondering if anyone knows of an external player that would provide the same experience for use on pc?
I am tossing between the nVidia RTX 2080 ti or the nVidia RTX Titan for the gpu of the new sytem

Would that still support 4K playback though?

The drive wouldn't change
And if it died

Wouldn't need to buy the external adapter

So the customer support guy was not useful. So much so he sent me here.
I wanted a mouse pad for the G903 Lightspeed. I found the mouse pad the pairs with it but I wanted to know if it will charge anywhere while it is placed on the pad.
I mostly what a mouse pad that will charge the mouse and my phone at the same time. With out have a single charging zone like most have.
midnight halo
from what I can find, the logitech Powerplay Mouse Pad will not wireless-charge any device other than the supported logitech wireless mouse.
if it's a matter of how much of the total Powerplay Mouse Pad area that will charge your G903, the mouse will charge anywhere on the mouse pad, but there are likely to be dead zones on the edges
balmy knoll
That is fair
balmy knoll
So there isn't any mouse mad that can charge the mouse and a phone at the same time is there?
balmy knoll
That would be easy
inner moat
then do that
you cant charge a phone with a mousepad.
even if that were possible, wirelessly charging a phone is miles slower than just plugging it with its charger.
balmy knoll
I don't care about speed I have it it never drops past 43% anyways
inner moat
still, charging a phone with a mousepad isnt possible
im pretty sure
just use a wireless charger FOR the phone
wont be on the mousepad, but it'll charge "wirelessly" as you want it

So many mice out there and I cant find the perfect one I am looking for

narrow it down
weight, shape, customizability, buttons, wired or wireless, rgb or no rgb, gaming or not gaming.
you gotta consider all the options, find the options you prefer, do your research, found out what mice have your specifications.
balmy knoll
RGB, Gaming, Wireless, side buttons (both sides), as long is it doesn't look like a transformer
inner moat
logitech g pro is a good mouse
g703 is good
what company are you looking for
how much rgb
like a logo and some other rgb
or like throughout and very noticeable
mystic totem
whats you price point
inner moat
yeah
theres some factors i didnt mentioned since there are so many
tell us the highest you'd pay for a mouse
balmy knoll
compony doesn't matter. RGB around the seems and logo, $100-$180
inner moat
then you should get a g pro
Do your research and look at the reviews and videos about it, decide whether or not this is a good candidate you would buy
balmy knoll
It looks too basic IMO
midnight halo
does it have to be a wireless mouse?
because I swear by my corded G502 Proteus Core.
there is a wireless option, but it's twice as much as the wired
balmy knoll
I mean it doesn't really have to be. I don't want the cord it get caught on stuff like it dose now
inner moat
depends on what you look for @midnight halo
you can get one of the most advanced wireless mice for 50 bucks.
midnight halo
really? which one is that, E-knock?
inner moat
i want the g502 lightspeed instead of my g502 hero
corsair harpoon rgb wireless
1ms corsair wireless technology
you can see the videos if you'd like.
wireless is as good as wired nowadays in 2019, and people are willing to spend some extra bucks to go wireless
if only i had the extra money to upgrade

I'm probably backwards on that, I prefer wired over wireless and it's not a budget thing.
that Harpoon looks pretty nice but it seems like it has too few buttons

Imo more than two side mouse buttons is too much
But that’s just because I play the claw grip or whatever you call it

any cheap 60%-75% rgb keyboards nowadays? Need one but not looking to spend like $100
all i found is the tecware phantom which might not be the worst idea
unborn shadow
Check out the Havit Pro RGB on Amazon.
It is one of the few keyboards I have been able to type on even without super low profile keys. It feels very natural.
unborn shadow
Welcome!
celest delta
Can you make different profiles @unborn shadow ? Or can it be fully rgb
unborn shadow
Yeah I believe up to 5 profiles and each key can be set to a different color.

Ok

Question anyone know why my razer death adder 2013 is no longer picking up on my older windows 7 machine after hooking them up on a kb/m switch? The keyboard picks up fine but the mouse is only working on the win 10 computer

Anyone know of a mouse like this one? http://www.bloody.com/en/product.php?pid=10&id=204
I want the two left and right click buttons. Can't find anywhere that sells this mouse that isn't in the middle east lmao

@random plover

i would say something like the g900 or g903 from logitech for if money is not an issue
or the razer basilisk
cna't help you with the seconday r/l clicks though
not the basilisk
random plover
yeah, I've seen plenty of good mice but I'm really trying to find something with the extra l/r buttons

razer lancehead

lancehead would be my choice if I can't find one

logitech g903 has 11 programmable ones

depending on your dominant hand i would recommend the g502\

I don't like a lot of side buttons because I always have my thumb on the side of my mouse as I con't palm it

waht hand is your dominant

but those are all mice that I've looked at as good options but before I get one I'm seeing if there's any with the secondary buttons I was looking for

i would honestly recoment any g503

that sensor is amazing
pwm 3366 or the hero sensor
waht mouse btw
what mouse
do yuo think is the best at this time
random plover
I don't really know to be honest, I hear a lot about the logitech g pro
and the g 502 is talked about a lot too
mild dome
ok
g703 lightspeed
if you don't care about super light
it has lightspeed wireles
and it's very ergonomic
it's also a very light mouse though
there is also a new hero model

that looks more like a mouse I'd use

im looking for a cheap mechanical keyboard and of you use this one and like it? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NAI2TXC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2FK9EP27A6ZE6&psc=1
Redragon K556 btw
final junco
That one is fine, my little cousin has it and I’ve used it before
young crown
@unique tusk my last redragon keyboard broke
the s key stopped working which is a big no no for gaming
it lasted awhile tho
the switches felt good
unique tusk
Yeah ive been using a $10 logitech forever lol still do really well wanted to try mechanical
most keyboards going to be hit and miss with breaking, Redragon seems like a well built cheap mechanical but the Razer Stealth is also on sale for $90 right now
final junco
Do it, there’s no harm it’s not a huge investment and you’ll get a good amount of time out of it until you find your next keyboard unless you stick to it and really enjoy it
unique tusk
yeah saw they had one that came with a crap mouse i have a razer deathadder that has worked for like 8 years
why I was kind of leaning towards razer stealth but $90 for a keyboard is alot to me lol
frank grove
ok so what is a good cheapish corsair keyboard?
frank grove
how much?
median saffron
i think i paid 160
maybe a bit less. but i have all corsair stuff so at that time, i thought it was worth
its a good keyboard but there are always places for improvement
thorn grove
K63 is the cheapest cherry red you can get from corsair.
median saffron
but i think their other keyboards are cheaper and if they are made the same as this, they should be nice keyboards
frank grove
how llong have you had it for?
also any decently cheap monitors
preferably g-sync
and 75hz
thorn grove
cheap
gsync
pick one.
frank grove
or hgihter
thorn grove
LOL
thorn grove
does it HAVE to have gsync/async?

anyone know if this is something that can be fixed?
when i try to use the scroll wheel it kinda just scrolls up and down sporadically

hi, i would want to know what is the best mechanical keyboard from corsair?
thorn grove
K95 with silver/speed switches
young vine
rgb strife with silent switches.
strange shell
I personally use the K70 LUX with MX Speed. honestly anything with the Speeds will be great for gaming (unless you NEED a tactile feedback, then go with Blues)
lusty pendant
I think browns are better than blues too because they don't have the abnoxiously loud click
But I also feel like you're missing out on the mechanical keyboard that doesn't have tactile feedback switches
inner moat
you cant say a switch is better than the other
it is solely dependent on your personal preference lol
lusty pendant
That's true, I've just never met anyone that didn't eventually get annoyed with blues
inner moat
if you like loud like me you'll go for a blue, if you dont, maybe a brown or red or y'know
ill always love the click of blues
it just gives me the feedback that i want and need
lusty pendant
I can't say I've noticed a decrease in feedback when I switched from blue to brown
But my travel keyboard with reds is definitely a big difference
wary veldt
reds feel too hollow to me
inner moat

Is the black ducky same as the new pure white
slender tundra
are mechanical keyboards worth buying?

it's a better typing experience, but a lot of it's subjective and preference

round bear
cheapest mech keyboard with numpad?
unique tusk
@round bear I like the RedDragon keyboards they are actually mechanical and work as good as high quality ones. Most of the ones cheaper than those are membrane keyboards.

I have a cooler Master that came with a mouse. The keys are quite nice, I forget all the specs.

I had the red dragon before but prefer Eagletec cause its easier to clean and basic RGB lit keys. I ended up buying another for a friend.

that's a great choice as well

I have the same desk mat that @wary veldt has....I love it as well

it's amazing how many features those cheaper mechanical keyboards have
i use this one for work
because i got it for $25 over christmas
visual flume
ooooh....does that come with a numpad version?
wary veldt
unique tusk
those look pretty clean, heard issues of them being hard to clean when they aren't open why I orignally went reddragon
wary veldt
tbh, i haven't really had it get more than a little dusty
but that's purely anecdotal

@wary veldt I was able to get a 2nd red dragon yesterday for $43 on woot, having used both as brown switch mechanical which would you choose between the 2? 😛 https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-K556-Mechanical-Keyboard-Aluminum/dp/B01NAI2TXC/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=k556&qid=1560867937&s=gateway&sr=8-1

What do you guys this about the ROG Strix Flare? I’m getting it in a couple of days and i just want some opinions based on what you know
hardy otter
I actually have a Corsair K70 @wary veldt
Oooof, it's so nice.
I love it.
My WPM hit around 110-130 on it.
calm cobalt
damn
hardy otter
It's just so nice to type on and responsive.
calm cobalt
what switch
wary veldt
MX Reds?
hardy otter
Cherry Red MX.
wary veldt
called it
hardy otter
LIterally the best.
hardy otter
Niiice.
calm cobalt
the keyboard is absolutely GORGEOUS
calm cobalt
ikr
hardy otter
And the keyboards never flex, which is so satisfying.
calm cobalt
i guess the only thing that corsair could improve on their keyboards is their stabilizers and keycaps
other than that it's 10/10
hardy otter
Yup, and honestly, even taking that into consideration, 9.5/10.
calm cobalt
ikr
hardy otter
I wouldn't ever buy another keyboard brand.
When mine goes out (haha, sorry I'm a comedian) I'll just buy another one.
calm cobalt
lol people in the ducky server say that corsair keebs are garbage
i also once commented on a video saying that i went from a blackwidow chroma v2 to a k95 platinum and then some random dude started talking smack to me because of it
hardy otter
If you buy those terrible corsair keyboards from walmart, you're just asking for a terrible keyboard. That's kind of the territory.
wary veldt
those guys are pretentious af
calm cobalt
the other people just told him to stfu lol
hardy otter
They're cheap an easy.
calm cobalt
i mean those guys are the actual enthusiasts
they don't like RGB which is absolutely ABSURD
calm cobalt
i'm a huge fan of RGB
in fact i'll be replacing my RAM to some corsair vengeance pros
calm cobalt
i also have a question i asked in #cpus-mobo-and-memory that has still not been answered yet either
rotund scroll
what chair should I get when I get money?
wary veldt
depends on budget, really
and do you want an office type chair or a racing type chair?
that kind is on sale

I am around 1.75m tall
or if my conversions are correct, around a little over 5'7"
last time I measured myself.
rotund scroll
what's the difference between "racing" and "office"
wary veldt
racing chairs have what's known as "bucket seats"
that's an office chair, it has the more standard oval back
racing chairs are more ergonomic
rotund scroll
are these chairs you're showing me firm chairs
or are they a mix of firm and soft chairs
wary veldt
it doesn't really mention firmness or softness that i can see
lusty pendant
any suggestions on a new mouse? I've been using a logitech g900 for the past 3 years and I love it, but now the right click is starting to act up
young crown
you have a budget?
lusty pendant
not really, I like a quality product
young crown
alright
get the g903 with the wireless charging mousepad
or get this if you like razer
lusty pendant
I'm a bit biased against Razer, I've never had one of their mice work without issues for over a year in the past
and I've had 2 deathadders and that mmo mouse, forget it's name

the Naga?
brave maple
Naga Trinity has done well for me always

Ive been looking into keyboards and was wondering if you guys have any recommendations? Im currently looking at getting a Corsair Strafe v2 with silent reds.
lone spire
Lol ok I wanted silent reds since Ill be in college and dont want to get my dormmates annoyed, though I was thinking about getting blues, they have this special click
wary veldt
if you don't want annoyed dorm mates, don't get blues
lone spire
Yeah they are mega loud
lone spire
My friend got the blues and theyre something else
Though I really dont know much about mouses
young vine
YES @lone spire
I have the strife rgb with silent switches
loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it.
wary veldt
a mouse is really personal
hollow ledge
yea, any mouse you get you should know how and like the feel of it. the dark core RGB I have has kinda grown on me lol
lone spire
@young vine I think I just like corsairs peripherals the most, aura sync is preferably one of the best programs
wary veldt
yeah, glorious george over there needs to calm down
corsair's programs aren't...spectacular
lone spire
I was thinking of getting the logitech g600
wary veldt
great choice
lone spire
I dont know I like it
wary veldt
then that's all that matters
lone spire
Also I use a lot of blender so I though getting the g600 would be a useful addition to my arsenal XD
lone spire
Im not super good at it but ive made some poly stuff
Though my pc isnt the best for rendering anything
lone spire
Ive been looking at amd and motherboard combos mainly ones with the ryzen 2600x since from the stats ive seen it preforms better than like the intel i5 8600k
young vine
wait for the ryzen third gens!
hollow storm
Don’t they won’t really impact the 2600x
lone spire
Closet micro center is a 10 hour drive from me

I got s MX red keyboard, nnice and soft 😃

I just went on a trip to Canada and that was a shorter drive
hollow storm
What did you need from there?
lone spire
Too be honest if i go there ill just probably build my whole pc there
hollow storm
Just order the parts online
lone spire
After all what im looking to build is a streaming pc
hollow storm
What’s your budget
lone spire
around 1k

that sucks couse they are havind a deal on ryzen

lone spire
Lol thats almost the same as my build @hollow storm
slate wren
hollow storm
You could get like a better gpu or cpu with 1000
slate wren
and amother 30 off with mobo bundle
lone spire
The thing is that i found a combo for the 2600x on newegg for 250
I was going to probably get that
wary veldt
that's a great deal
hollow storm
With 1000 you could get i7 but that’s your choice
hollow storm
Yeah but it’s a little better
wary veldt
it's not enough to worry about the extra costs
hollow storm
True
wispy surge
i would say that intel would be better for streaming, but they are pretty similar
wary veldt
AM4 is also far more upgradeable
you'd be able to drop a 3000 series CPU in that board no problem
hollow storm
Then you could also get a 2060 or better then for a gpu just as long as there isn’t any bottlenecks
lone spire
@wispy surge I also wanted to do things with multi core processing
wary veldt
yeah, the 2060 pairs up well with the 2600x
lone spire
But is the 2060 any better than the 1060 6gb?
wary veldt
yes
hollow storm
Much
wary veldt
by a long shot
lone spire
Oof I havent looked at anything over the 2000 series
hollow storm
The 1660 ti is like 20-30% better than the 1060
wispy surge
with the release of ryzen things have gotten to be very close to each other processor-wise
lone spire
Oof
hollow storm
Yeah my eyes hurt

Imagine having a 2080 ti SLI but a pentium cpu

sorry $200 EACH or less

so does anyone here use MSI mystic light for their RGB control?
wispy surge
do you ever have an issue where it won't change anything until you restart? I try to change everything via the All sink panel, and I try individually, but it won't change anything until I restart and try again
Mysticlight3 btw
hollow storm
did you try them individually
wispy surge
yep, still the same issue
hollow storm
weird cause when i hit apply it just changes right there
when did you download mystic

Before i only had corsair stuff so i used iCUE
its no longer installed
