#

what's your budget?

young crown
#

that one looks good imo

#

curved, 27 inches, 1440p, and 144hz

#

for $300

wary veldt
#

that's a good one

young crown
#

:D

#

imma ping u just so u see @pale fjord

pale fjord
#

Kk thanks my guy

#

Don’t worry about the budget. Just looking for what y’all think is good

wary veldt
#

👀

young crown
#

👀👀👀

#

that one is better

#

faster response time

#

its also very flashy if ur into that

#

personally i like things to be a bit more discrete

#

but its all up to u

wary veldt
#

you can turn off the RGB in the settings

young crown
#

yeah ik but even the monitor stand itself is a bit flashy

#

but 144hz is plenty

#

that one i just posed has a 5ms response time tho

pale fjord
#

Ah.

#

Also I’m running a 1080 Ti and not planning on VESA mounting. If that changes anything

young crown
#

nah then ur fine

pale fjord
#

Just like to see what people think is reliable and good before making a big budget purchase like this

young crown
#

yeah definetly

#

samsung and msi are good brands

#

never heard of pixio though

#

thats not to say those are they only good monitor brands

#

just saying those are good ones

pale fjord
#

Gotcha. All I got now is a basic 1080p 60Hz Acer monitor

#

Forgot about budgeting a new monitor when building my pc 🙃

young crown
#

oof

pale fjord
#

A poor choice was made

young crown
#

o o f

#

i have a 1080p 75hz hp monitor

#

i like it

#

:D

pale fjord
#

Nice. My thing is I’m just wasting all this GPU power on my monitor. Plus idk what it is about it but it’s starting to be a lil rough on my eyes recently

young crown
#

oof

pale fjord
#

What’s the size of your monitor?

young crown
#

27

#

i love it

#

once you get 27 you never go back down lol

pale fjord
#

Nice. That’s another thing, my monitor is like 6 years old I think? If I’m not mistaken it’s just a 23 if not a 21 inch

#

Not entirely sure. Not in front of it rn

inner bone
#

So here’s a potentially stupid question...would the average gamer be able to tell the difference when gaming on a monitor with 5 ms response vs 1 ms?

pale fjord
#

Hmmm. Maybe? Tbh I never understood how response time differed from refresh rate

#

Like I know they’re different. But like how?

young crown
#

refresh rate is how many fps you can get to

inner bone
#

Gotcha lol that’s about where I’m at too

pale fjord
#

Yeah I get that but what’s response time

young crown
#

if i have a 144hz monitor and my game is running at 144fps, then i will be seeing 144 frames per second

#

response time is how long it takes for the monitor to display the frame

#

i think

pale fjord
#

So it’s the delay between the registering of the pixel and it being displayed on the screen?

inner bone
#

So a slower response may lead to blurred images in a faster paced game?

young crown
#

no

pale fjord
#

Yes. I know about that and it’s called ghosting

young crown
#

thats refresh rate

pale fjord
#

Wot. I’m confused

#

Why must technology be advanced and complex

young crown
inner bone
#

Ok. So at the end of the day, I should be much more concerned with refresh rate rather than response

young crown
#

fps and hz are interchangeable to some extent

#

yes

#

unless you do esports

inner bone
#

Gotcha

#

Appreciate y’all help @young crown @pale fjord

young crown
#

anytime

pale fjord
#

Well what I’m confused about is that hurtz is just 1/time so a 60hz monitor produces a new frame every 16.7 ms but response time talks about how long it takes a pixel to change color. You’ve got 2 separate time values for the monitor changing images. Makes me think what’s the difference between the two

#

Like I get that if you have a monitor that’s got a faster refresh rate than response time, ghosting will occur due to the fact that the screen is trying to produce a new image while the old image hasn’t had time to change quite yet, or something like that. But then what causes the difference between the two values

#

Are there any comfortable chairs that won't eat my wallet whole

young vine
#

well you kinda pay for comfort.

formal girder
#

Welp, the kitchen chair it will stay.

young crown
#

@formal girder we have 3 of these

#

very comfortable, cheap, and easy to assemble

young vine
#

you got 3 of them? lol

young crown
#

yeah my brother and sister liked it so much they got them too

young vine
#

oh nice.

young crown
#

im a salesman 😤

#

jkjk

#

i actually did convince my mom to buy the fridge we have now

young vine
#

whatever I showed you those chairs

#

😉

young crown
#

lol

#

you could buy 16 of those chairs and it would still be cheaper than the apple pro stand 👀

formal girder
#

Cool thanks

young crown
#

yeah

#

the arm rests are padded too

#

very nice

#

my only complaint is that its a bit short but not too bad

#

it fits perfectly with my desk at max height but idk

formal girder
#

Yeah, my desk is pretty short too

young crown
#

ah perfect

formal girder
#

Now I just need to save up for it along with a hundred other things

calm cobalt
#

@young crown How long did those Furmax chairs take to get to you once they shipped?

young crown
#

just a couple days

fallen lintel
#

Hey guys do you know if cooler master makes any keyboards with cherry mx switchs under $200

wary veldt
#

yes they do

#

do you want a full size or tenkeyless

calm cobalt
#

Hey

fallen lintel
#

Thanks @wary veldt

formal girder
#

The one above looks pretty sweet but I know little of keyboards and what the different colors and fruits mean. Could someone explain to me, if you have the time?

wary veldt
young vine
#

YUou and your videos

young crown
#

LOL

formal girder
#

Will definitely watch

wary veldt
#

yeah but a chart doesn't do it justice

#

like you know what those words mean, but maybe someone else doesn't

formal girder
#

What's the different between bump and linear

wary veldt
#

^ see

#

so a keyboard switch labelled as "bump" has a physical tactile bump near the end of the switch

#

so you know it's been actuated

#

a linear switch is straight up and down, no bump or click

young vine
#

like the corsair silent switch

wary veldt
#

or Reds

young vine
#

which I absolutely love

wary veldt
#

i really dislike reds

#

they feel so hollow

young vine
#

feeling is mutual.

#

they dislike you, and think you're hollow.

#

❤

young crown
#

i have the razer ornata chroma

#

theyre weird

wary veldt
#

well yeah, those are super heavy

#

also, i am hollow inside

formal girder
#

Ok, I think I like clicky more. Any recommendations for under $200

wary veldt
#

sure, do you want RGB?

#

and do you want full size or one without a num pad

formal girder
#

I hardly ever use the num pad and RGB would be nice but I really just want the cheapest

wary veldt
#

aight

young vine
wary veldt
#

who does that

young vine
#

lol

wary veldt
#

i wish they listed the Romer G type

formal girder
#

Sorry I cought up on something else, thanks for the recommendations

calm cobalt
#

honestly cherry mx browns have such low tactility

#

Does anyone else here like romer g's

#

I typed on a g910 orion spectrum at best buy and actually liked it lol

#

i dont get what the problem is and why everyone hates them

#

they feel like browns but stiffer and more tactile

lusty pendant
#

I've never gotten to try romer switches, it seems impossible to find logitech mechanical keyboards in stores around here. You've got me curious though, because mx brown are my favorite (after using blues for years, I decided that I needed to tone down the volume), are romer g's close to browns?

calm cobalt
#

I have this membrane keyboard by Raptor but that company was so good that Corsair decided to buy them out.

formal girder
#

How does this look

lusty pendant
#

If you like red switches and don't need the numpad, then it should be good

#

Corsair make very good keyboards, but personally I very much dislike red switches

formal girder
#

Are they clicky?

calm cobalt
#

@formal girder cherry red switches are soft, not clicky.

formal girder
#

What's best for someone who likes a clicky sound and feel

inner moat
#

blues

#

if you're okay with the noise level of them

formal girder
#

Ok thanks

#

Hey guys. One of the USB hubs on my RoG laptop is dead. I cant fix it. I have 2 USB 3.0 portsworking. I need to plug in 3 or 4 devices. One of those devices a high end audio interface. Would running this thru a USB hub impact performance?

calm cobalt
#

@main wave If you get a good quality, preferably name brand hub, it should have little to no performance decrease.

main wave
#

Thanks. I may need it to provide additional power. Is this a thing? Via an ac plug or something

#

Nice I see one like that

calm cobalt
main wave
#

Gracias. Leaning towards that one but would prefer if it could provide power while not plugged into active USB port. (Like for charging a phone when my laptop is off) not a huge deal though. Mainly wanted to know if there would be latency issues but this seems like a solid bet.

calm cobalt
#

I believe that Belkin one in the last link I sent you should charge your devices from the DC power input from the wall even without your computer on. @main wave

formal girder
calm cobalt
#

@formal girder That's a real random brand, you'd really be rolling the dice on quality and durability. I'd go with a cheap priced Corsair, maybe coolermaster.

formal girder
#

I here you, but the price difference, especially since it only 27 on Amazon, is really good since I don't have room in my budget for a keyboard anyways

calm cobalt
#

That's the cheapest gaming keyboasrd I could find on newegg that also has 4 out of 5 eggs and no mouse to go with it.

formal girder
#

Also the one above is fully mechanical for a great price

#

The one above is more expensive and just membrane

#

I still really appreciate your help though

calm cobalt
#

Well just throwing some suggestions your way. Up to you if you want to roll the dice on a..."Eagletec".

formal girder
#

Yeah, kinda raised a red flag when I couldn't find any reviews on it but... Maybe I could be the first

calm cobalt
#

So which Razer headset is the best for PC ?

wary veldt
#

the Tiamat, i guess technically

calm cobalt
#

I heard those had some good surround but the drivers could get vibraty

#

Since you said technically, did you have another in mind?

wary veldt
#

wired or wireless?

calm cobalt
#

Any

#

I personally am looking at those Naris

wary veldt
#

yeah, for wireless you can't go wrong between those and the Arctis 7s

calm cobalt
#

I see the hyper x cloud headset mic and I cringe

#

Other wise they look good

wary veldt
#

yeah, they have a supposed 30 hour battery life too

calm cobalt
#

I like Razer's look but not the pricing lol

wary veldt
#

i have the Corsair HS70SE

#

i love 'em

viral canopy
#

I have tried Razer headsets and they feel very cheap

wary veldt
#

but, i prefer a flat response on the EQ

calm cobalt
#

I will take a good pair anyday,just like the rounded look from the nari

viral canopy
#

I have had many pairs of budget headsets and had a bad experience with the HS60

calm cobalt
#

Logitechs have some black ones that look good

wary veldt
#

the G533 Wireless?

viral canopy
#

My HS60 got rust on the metal mesh on the sides

calm cobalt
#

Yeah

wary veldt
#

hopefully they fixed that with the HS70s

#

the G533 Wireless is a great headset

viral canopy
#

Yeah, I like Logitech for headsets

wary veldt
#

and if you want them local, they sell them at walmart

#

or best buy

viral canopy
#

But I’m thinking of moving on to pro grade headphones

calm cobalt
#

The g935 are also good

#

Chocotaco uses them

#

But he is also sponsored so

viral canopy
#

I really like those

#

They are probably my favorite

#

But my next purchase will be the Sennheiser HD6xx

calm cobalt
#

I just got started in PC gaming so I'm using a apple keyboard and a Sony noise canceling ones that have a tube of super glue on them

viral canopy
#

I’ve read that open back headphones are great for gaming

wary veldt
#

i love semi-open

viral canopy
#

LMAO I started playing Fortnite with an apple magic mouse

calm cobalt
#

A Logitech wired mouse that is years old but honestly feels good

#

Just a cheap one I stole from work

viral canopy
#

Lol

wary veldt
#

ah, i was thinking MX518

viral canopy
#

On the magic mouse you can’t use both buttons at the same time and the scrolling is too sensitive

wary veldt
#

yeah, apple mice are absolute garbage

viral canopy
#

It was horrible trying to play with that

calm cobalt
#

I am realllyyyy wanting a black widow keyboard but i see cosair and logitechs for way cheaper

wary veldt
#

here's a secret

viral canopy
#

It’s actually pretty good for MacOS if you just browse the web

wary veldt
#

cheap chinese keyboards are really good

viral canopy
#

Yeah

wary veldt
#

like Redragon mechanical keyboards? top notch

calm cobalt
#

I use a really good Dell mouse for final cut on my Mac and it's good af

viral canopy
#

If you ask in the mechanical keyboards subreddit you will never get recommended Razer or Corsair

wary veldt
#

sure won't

#

it's all either super low price or super high price

#

nothing mainstream

calm cobalt
#

I know but I'm hooked at their look

#

Lol

viral canopy
#

I purchased a Logitech G300S mouse and I just can’t get used to other button layouts

wary veldt
#

i couldn't get used to those other 4 buttons

viral canopy
#

And I can’t find a higher quality mouse with that layout

#

I practically have the mouse set up like a controller

#

But for some games it isn’t so good

wary veldt
#

yeah

#

i just use a Rival 110

viral canopy
#

I only use WASD and space bar on my keyboard

calm cobalt
#

I got a death adder elite this week and I like it

viral canopy
#

BTW, I am looking for a budget mechanical RGB keyboard with Cherry Blue switch equivalent, do you have any suggestions?

calm cobalt
#

I'm semi new so don't ask me

wary veldt
#

full size or tenkeyless?

viral canopy
#

TKL

wary veldt
calm cobalt
#

I will pay if I have to but I can make anything work

#

Hence my apple keyboard

wary veldt
#

the cheaper mechanical keyboards are genuinely good

#

like, really good

calm cobalt
#

Was reading some reviews and see good

viral canopy
#

That one looks good

calm cobalt
#

That will go on my list thanks

viral canopy
#

It looks like much better quality that the budget Razer KB

calm cobalt
#

Budget Razer doesn't look good in anything

#

Besides those new krakens

viral canopy
#

Those Amazon Basics keyboards are trash

#

Overpriced

calm cobalt
#

I saw them just a minute ago and skipped them

#

Feely good keyboard was in the title

viral canopy
#

They are membrane and feel horrible

#

This is the “best” one

a budget?

#

@viral canopy

-$60

#

i was originally looking for a reddragon

#

it's about 30

#

but then a friend gave me a free razer blue switch equivalent

#

so im like, hey why not

calm cobalt
#

I liked the feel of a Razer orange switch ,

inner moat
#

i like blues

calm cobalt
#

I don't remember if that a blue

viral canopy
#

@wary veldt How are the keycaps on the one you recommended?

inner moat
#

which are the greens of razer

viral canopy
#

I like the Razer Purple

calm cobalt
#

Browns

wary veldt
#

they're double-shot ABS

#

they feel fine

inner moat
#

or pbt

#

double shot pbt are good quality if you dont wanna wear out stuff

viral canopy
#

Is it a standard bottom row?

#

I think it is

calm cobalt
#

I don't mind clacky but until I finish off my basement/man cave walls with some padding it would drive me nuts

#

I have OLD keyboards

viral canopy
#

I just hate reds for typing

#

There’s a new keyboard from Steelseries that has customizable actuation point

calm cobalt
#

I saw those

viral canopy
#

But they are very expensive and are linear switches

calm cobalt
#

But isn't that just for the wasd ect keys

viral canopy
#

No

#

They use a magnetic system or something

calm cobalt
#

Must have been a different one then

viral canopy
calm cobalt
#

Does the Logitech 935 havea decent mic?

inner moat

#

I’ve seen some trash $150 headphones

#

But not from Logitech

#

But idk if I should use it for gaming

If I get the g35

viral canopy

Well, you can try it out

#

It is pretty good although a desktop mic will be better

#

@bleak thunder I has Astro A50s and love them, also Steel Series Wireless are apparently as good if not better than my A50s

bleak thunder
#

The main thing is I'm comparing them to turtle beach elites 800 that wont work with my pc,(250$) I tried arctic 7 and a50s and so far that dont rlly come close

shell grotto
#

Personally my A50s are better than anything Turtle beach has to offer but its also different headset designs since A50s are open air

#

You may like the Arctis Pro Wireless better

bleak thunder
#

Was also looking at logitech g935 just heard build quality had suffered a bit

shell grotto
#

Audio Technica is also bring out a new wireless headset that looks promising

#

I'd probably go with them if I was in the market considering its Audio Technica and they do headphones lol

lusty pendant
#

I used the A50's for a while, and honestly I hated them

#

The battery life was sub-par imo, the charging dock is easily the worst design I've ever had to deal with, half the time it would just stop charging on it's own

#

and the audio quality was ok

shell grotto
#

The dock is def not the best

lusty pendant
#

the A50's made me go back to wired sennheiser game one

shell grotto
#

I never had an issue with the battery but I also have the revision 2's so

#

I would look at the Steelseries TBH or Audiotechnica

#

def your best bet

lusty pendant
#

I've used 2 different steelseries headsets, one is my dedicated travel headset because it folds nice and flat

#

however I still think sennheiser is just superior, as long as you don't have to pack them up

Surface is good if you can find one at that price. Dell xps 13 is good

can you send a link?

grizzled flint
#

Looks like unless you get a model with 4gb of ram they are out of the budget. 4gb isnt really enough.

indigo reef

oh, gotcha.

#

A surface pro is looking like the best option

#

Thanks, you both

vernal pulsar
#

I work on some Surface Pro's at..work... and their very nice, the build quality has been excellent and ive seen some folks accidentally try to "close it" forgetting that its not a laptop, and it didnt crack when it was smacked into the keyboard

and theyve all ran pretty dang fast.

#

I know this is a not asked a lot question but best budget rgb lights and a budget mousepad? @grizzled flint

grizzled flint
#

I dont really have many budget mousepads. I have used a cheap steel series one in the past, but thats been several years ago. Right now I use a corsair mm800 which is anything but budget. I also have the corsair mm300, the extended version and have my keyboard and mousepad sitting on top of it. Its a really good mousepad for a cloth pad, but I prefer a solid surface. newegg has lots of different corsair mousepads, https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?Submit=ENE&N=100006550 50001459 40000202 8000&ActiveSearchResult=True

Bet, I’ll check it out

#

And do you have any rgb lights for a desk?

#

Like the Philip ones whatever those r called

#

Not sure if I should buy those

grizzled flint

I have some cheap rgb strips I bought at walmart for $5 on clearance. They do what I need them to do, but they are not great by any means.

wary veldt
#

oh the monster ones?

grizzled flint
#

ya, I they worked with my google home mini so I bought 3 of them

I like being able to tell google to turn them on and off or change colors rather than having to mess with remotes like most of the other cheap ones

All I find is the ones for your pc-

does anyone have any thoughts about this dac/amp combo? i am just looking for something better than my motherboard audio and ideally an amp that has an isolated mic input so i can bypass as much stuff in my motherboard as possible https://mayflowerelectronics.com/arc/

if anyone has any suggestions for stuff along these lines, external, powered stuff, i would be grateful

#

16 ohm headset, i would like to avoid getting a stand alone mic as the one on my headset is pretty nice

#

maybe i am misunderstanding that amp i linked but i presume the mic input there is just a passthrough

#

motherboard has optical out if that has any relevance

lucid palm
#

For those that do, what's everyone using for keyboard/ mouse at work? I'm thinking of getting something better than this basic Microsoft one I have at work. Something mechanical perhaps? I'm almost tempted to even go trackball on the mouse.

Which headset @calm cobalt

There are only a few true 7.1 headsets. The rest are all simulated through software

calm cobalt

Steelseries artics 3

That's not true 7.1, it's simulated through Microsoft software insound settings

Huh?

Did you already buy the headset

Anyone have experience with the sennheiser game zero? Been looking at getting one and want to know what others think. It seems to have good sound and a great mic for a headset. I was looking at wireless but they all have absolute trash mics

main wave
#

What is the best gaming keyboard I can buy? Price isn't really an issue, but I don't want to spend unnecessary cash. I guess I'm looking for a popular keyboard , that is also mechanical, relatively quiet, and I guess has good LED RGB options

queen wadi
#

That’s pretty broad imo

#

Some options I have considered were Corsair k70, Corsair k95, ducky one 2 mini(60%$, Anne pro 2(60%), and this one is clicky and loud but razer huntsman elite

#

Oh and also glorious pc gaming race has their gmmk keyboard which you can choose the switch type, keycaps, and size of it

thorn grove
#

Corsair k95 platinum with silver/speed switches

#

It's quiet, linear and doesn't need to be pushed far to register

#

It's like heaven on your fingers if reaction time is your thing

#

Non clicky

queen wadi
#

Can approve^ k70 also can have silver/speed switches but doesn’t have macro keys or the top RGB bar

thorn grove
#

And very good RGB and macro customized

#

Yes

#

Anything with silver/speed is great

#

My only complaint is k95's size

queen wadi
#

Even the k70 I complain about the size

main wave
#

How do i get different switches for keyboards? Do i have to buy them like that, or are they interchangable?

thorn grove
#

Most of the time it's built in

#

Unless you go custom vendor route

#

The Corsair keyboards are pretty good for Mass product

#

Just need one with good switches like solver

#

Silver/speed*

#

Or red if you're on a budget

main wave
#

link me the best one for 100 bucks and ill buy it

#

lol

#

whats with the complaints on the k70 and k95 size? too big or to small?

thorn grove
#

Oh.. $100

#

K95 is a full size board

#

K70 doesn't have num pad so it's less wide

main wave
#

other than the numpad, key spacing is still the same right?

#

i never use the numpad. i have that built into my mouse lol

thorn grove
#

Oh k70 does have numpad

main wave
#

a keyboard with normal keyspacing and no numpad would actually be great

#

for desk space for me

thorn grove
#

Just go to Newegg and type k70 cherry mx speed or k95 cherry mx speed

main wave
#

any keyboards of similar quality without the numpad? i literally never use it

#

and could use the extra few inches between the KB and Mouse

thorn grove
#

Yeah, k65 cherry mx speed

#

Go search for it

#

They are really well made keyboards

#

Well worth the investment

#

My super old Corsair k60 has lasted for over 6 years

#

My k95 is fantastic

main wave
#

im reading up on the different kinds of keys

#

cherry brown vs red etc

thorn grove
#

You said you wanted quiet

#

Red and speed switches is what you're looking for

#

There is no click or tactile bump when pressing

#

They are called "linear" switches

main wave
#

what about Romer-G Switch?

queen wadi
#

Without the numpad keyboards are called tenkeyless. Search for tenkeyless keyboards. Glorious’ gmmk has a tenkeyless option

#

Also if you reallyyyy want to be more quiet, you can buy o-rings

thorn grove
#

I keep forgetting to get o rongs

#

I bottom out my keys

#

HAHA

queen wadi
#

Lol I like the silver speeds but I also like noise so I like to bottom out when I’m not using my headset but when I am the 1.2 mm actuation distance is nice

main wave
#

what about that Logitech keyboard i linked

#

?

calm cobalt
#

I currently use that. It's not bad for $70 new on ebay or something, not sure if I'd pay full price.
It's my first romer-g keyboard, figured I'd give the switched a try. The shift key and space bar feel particularly mushy.
I've used cherry blues, gateron reds, and otemu browns in the past. I want to try either some pada or topre switches in a new build.

main wave
#

Ok, well i guess i just want a tenkeyless keyboard with the most universally liked switches for gaming

calm cobalt
#

Cherry/gateron reds are very commonly recommended for gaming. I used them (gaterons) in a relatively cheap keyboard, the $60 qisan magicforce, it was loud despite the red switches. I think it was due to the cheap plastic construction. I tried blue o-rings, didn't help much, users online said that you could add tape to some of the surfaces inside, but I haven't tried that.

main wave
#

how bout this?

lusty pendant
#

Brown switches do have a tactile feedback and a click sound

#

they're nowhere near as loud as blues, but still louder than linear switches

queen wadi
#

Brown switches aren’t supposed to make clicks though????

lusty pendant
#

You will always have a click from the tactile feedback, it's very minor on browns though, especially compared to blues

Any good switches that have tactical feedback but aren't loud

What are your thoughts on a hard mouse mat

shut quiver
#

I use a corsair one, I think I kinda prefer the hard plastic mouse mats over fabric

brave maple
#

I have the razer sphex v2 currently and its one of the best mouse mats i've ever used. One clear benefit is that they're easy to clean off. It mostly comes down to preference in my opinion. I think they're a bit smoother than soft mats, but many people dont like the hard ones

west hornet
#

I have a hard mat right now. recently my mouse has been sticking a bit to the surface, so I wiped it with alcohol and that seemed to make it better. It still is a little sticky tho and I think it is my mouse feet, they are very worn. I'm just trying to think wether it is the mouse or mat that is making it stick

It might be more cost effective to go with an all-in-one like the blue yeti someone mentioned. Just keep in mind xlr is upgradable. Whatever works best for you.

swift lantern
#

i need a keyboard , $75 or under, mechanical ofc

#

ive been looking at the razer blackwidow

unique bane
#

or this

swift lantern
#

I like the first one

calm cobalt
#

Blue = tactile + loud click, red is linear and silent. Check out a "keyboard switch sampler" on ebay

swift lantern
#

Don't really know what tactile means, I haven't had a mechanical before

#

But I need it soon, no spare keyboards around and I figured if I was gonna get a new one it might as well be a good one

calm cobalt
#

My two cents - typically "silent" switches like the cherry or gateron reds used as part of a cheapo keyboard still make a loud keyboard.

thorn grove
#

if you play a lot of first person shooters and dont like microsecond delay in your reaction get a linear switch 😄

#

reds/speed/silver are fannnnnntastic

calm cobalt
#

I have a keycool 87 in cherry blue, a g pro with romer-g's, and some velocifire with otemu browns. The Qisan magicforce was the $60 full size board with gateron reds that was still loud even after adding blue o-rings.

#

Internet says I can take it all apart and mod some bits, but I don't like linear anyway.
I want to build something like a zealio 67g purple 87 key from scratch/kit, maybe a panda/topre build later.

Gonna go with k552 I think

price range? @lusty pendant

lusty pendant

no specific price range, I like a quality product

calm cobalt
#

Have you tried mx browns or other switches? If so on what keyboards

lusty pendant
#

I use mx browns on my current corsair k70 and they've been my favorite, I used blues in the past on older razer blackwidow, as well as reds on a hyperx keyboard

#

I like how blues feel, but they're a bit too loud, and I don't like the reds

#

I have no issue with my k70, I'm just looking for a tenkeyless keyboard for when I'm away from home for work.

#

Also if there's any non-cherry switches that are similar to browns, I'm open to suggestions

tight pulsar
#

any color/rgb requests @lusty pendant ?

lusty pendant
#

I'd like RGB, and prefer gunmetal gray or darker

tight pulsar

gotcha

lusty pendant

yeah I'm not really sure why browns aren't popular, it seems most mechanical keyboards are going with red or speed switches, but I really like to have a tactile feedback

What could I sell those for and what should I get?

average used price for the mouse is 60$ and the keyboard 100$

acoustic delta

I got the keyboard for 80$

#

And the mouse as a Christmas present

unique bane
#

Well the cost for new things does tend to go up

acoustic delta
#

I have the boxes for them too

#

What do you think I could sell them for?

#

And in a bundle or separate

unique bane
#

I would do it asperated if you are selling on ebay but if you are selling on Facebook do a price for each one and then a price for it being together and always when selling together you sell for a little less

acoustic delta
#

Oh

#

Okay I'll sell it separated

unique bane
#

So lets say it is 100$ for the keyboard and 60$ for the mouse when selling it together you do 150$ cause people will bite faster

acoustic delta
#

Oh

unique bane
#

I do that with games as well when selling on facebook

acoustic delta
#

So how much do you think I could sell both for?

#

And how much for together?

unique bane
#

I pretty much gave you the prices

#

Just work with that for now if no one bites within a week lower the price by 10$ for each

acoustic delta
#

OkY

#

Okay

#

So 100$ for the keyboard?

#

They are used

#

But on ebay its 50$ refurbished

#

I'll put it at 45$ for the keyboard

#

#

@unique bane how would you type if you replace your keyboard with that?

unique bane
#

@lusty pendant You do know i said i would have a small media keyboard as well

#

I thought you were calling that a media keyboard lol

I got my ducky one 2 today, and man, these brown switches feel way different from my corsair k70

#

although I think the keys might be a bigger difference than the switches

tight pulsar
#

o how is it?

lusty pendant
#

it feels nice, I remember reading a lot of people say how important good keycaps are, and with this keyboard I can see what they were talking about, the keys just feel really good on the fingers

#

the switchers are super smooth, the only thing I feel along the key press is the small tactile bump as browns are supposed to have, but otherwise it feels like I don't bottom out the keys nearly as much as I do with the corsair, so they're quieter too

#

overall I'm rather impressed with it so far

#

Anyone try the new Razer viper?

#

What’s that

brave maple
#

I was considering buying it, but I decided to get more use out of my naga trinity before replacing it. Friend bought it and seems to really enjoy it. I’ll ask him how it compares to the other mice he’s had.

#

I've owned multiple razer mice in the past and now I'm just biased against their quality

#

Never had one last me over a year.

#

Ive had two logitechs. my mx518 first version lasted me so long the scroll wheel sensor broke, second one I wore the right click out. and now I have a g502, and its amazing, Ill end up wearing the coating off it

#

not as much luck with this g910 keyboard though. Likes to double type randomly

#

I just got a G502 hero yesterday and really like it

#

My G910 is really nice too

#

It's relatively quiet

wild sparrow
#

a bunch of the blue LED's have burned out for me

#

so I have random red keys

#

its been over 2 years though

Just things made in Hong Kong usually doesn't last that long and dies out

#

I have viper. The only thing I dislike about it is my right click button is slightly loose and sometimes rubs on the left click button. Also the switches feel very different but very tactile. @brave maple

#

I like the razer viper because it feels like the perfect weight to me and doesn’t have the honeycomb design. The tracking feels very accurate when I play osu! Much more accurate than my G602

torn dagger
#

I checked Razer stuff at best buy and didn't really care for it :l idk what everyone likes about it

west hornet
#

I’m not sure too much about the other mice, but I really like the viper.

#

I was between that and the g pro, but I didn’t like the feel of the g pro

#

I don't have an issue with how razer feels and performs, it's just the quality.

#

I'm willing to spend the money on quality product, but it better last me more than a year

#

I feel like with razer the products have very good performance but break down too easily

#

The death adder elite feels really nice but the quality feels kind of eh compared to a logitech or something

lusty pendant
#

pretty sure everyone that's used razer products for the while would agree

#

their laptops might be the only exception

#

any one have some recommendations for headsets
typically in the us$100-150 range
USB or 3.5mm doesn't matter

Why is no one talking about corsair lol

I have the m65 pro or something and it's super great

astro a20

lusty pendant
#

astro sound quality is mediocre at best, and the battery life/slow charging made me switch back to wired

#

unless you absolutely need wireless, the sennheiser game one will do everything better than astro a20 for the same price

It goes into the same slot as a networking card but has absolutely nothing to do with networking

#

It's pretty old

unique bane
#

@carmine torrent wrong channel to post that in

#

Also the connection for that network card if i recall is PCI

carmine torrent
#

So it is a network card?

#

Sorry I didn't know what it was @unique bane

unique bane
#

I could assume it is an older network card or an expansion for an external

#

But that looks to be from the Pentium era

Well it was in a Dell optiplex 7010
