@raw iris Thanks, this helped a lot, I got it resolved!

@ivory pumice anytime

lusty pendant
#

so I'm a bit confused

#

I bought 2 Ducky one 2 keyboards

#

one's TKL, the other is full size

#

both with cherry MX brown switches, both bought from the same place

#

but they feel different

#

I don't feel as much tacticle feedback from the full size keyboard as I did from the TKL

young crown
#

maybe one was used?

lusty pendant
#

no both are definitely brand new

#

unless they do some kind of an incredible re-packaging job

#

It's only been a couple of months between when I bought them too

young crown
#

i mean i bought a new AIO off of amazon and what came was an old used AIO

lusty pendant
#

I understand that's possible, but both still appear completely new, and had that "new keyboard smell" coming out the box

young crown
#

somebody bought it, swappd out their old one, and returned the old one to get a free aio

#

hm

#

alright

#

just putting out that possibility

lusty pendant
#

I also didn't buy them from amazon, and I'd expect a dedicated mechanical keyboard website to be a bit better than that

young crown
#

ah okay

lusty pendant
#

honestly the only reason I bought the full size one is because how amazing the TKL ducky felt, so I kinda expected the same, but now I feel kind of let down by the full sized one

#

it's not bad, but it feels a lot like the corsair keyboard I had before, and not as nice as the TKL ducky

young crown
#

you could always try exchanging it

calm cobalt
#

Wonder if one board has o rings installed on it for some reason?

random plover
#

It could be the extra weight of the keyboard being the factor changing the feel. Considering it is quite a bit of a different feedback with more overall weight on the keyboard since it's not tkl

grizzled flint
#

I have a MK disco TKL which is essentially a ducky one and it doesn't have as much tactile feel as I expected from browns either. Mine was used, but still looked new and also had orings installed. All my other mechanical keyboards have reds so my only comparison for browns are a few I have seen at stores. Have you checked to see if one of them has o rings. That can change the feel of the keyboard quite a bit. My MK came with blue orings but I removed them and put them on my corsair that I use on my main rig and the MK feels much more tactile after that.

What's a great value headset with 7.1 surround sound and is very comfortable? I'm having trouble finding one that I like. I like the A20's but it doesn't seem like they have surround sound (could be mistaken)

young crown
#

7.1 surround sound is a figment of your imagination evil_kermit

violet rock
#

so what you are saying is, don't look for headsets with it because its not worth it?

young crown
#

pretty much

violet rock
#

hmmm got any recommendations for $150 or less headsets that are comfortable?

young crown
#

i havent used too many headsets

#

but

#

the ones i have right now is the xbox stereo headset

#

it broke, but i was rough with it

#

i taped it back together and it still works theo_dumb

#

but its very comfortable and it sounds good

violet rock
#

legit im using a $25 Sades headset lol and it is dying so i thought it might be time for an upgrade

young crown
#

yeah

#

i gotta get new ones soon too, i wanted wireless ones tho

#

because wired is uhhhhhhhhhh starting to get annoying lol

unique bane
young crown
#

oohhh i want those

violet rock
#

I hear the void pro has a crap battery tho

young crown
#

i think @grizzled flint said something like if you turn off the rgb it lasts a lot longer

grizzled flint
#

My battery will last maybe 3 or 4 hours with the rgb on, with it off it will easily go 8 hours sometimes 10+ depending on the volume

#

rgb on wireless headphones is totally just for marketing or a streamer with a camera pointing back at them

young crown
#

^

#

same with monitors lol

grizzled flint
#

well, the rgb on the back can light up the wall at least

#

like the aorus monitors

#

I don't want rgb anything shining on the front of my monitor other than the pixels

unique bane
#

and your disco ball 😛

grizzled flint
#

There was an asus monitor that had it shining on a strip across the bottom of the monitor and that would just be distracting

#

Ah, disco balls. I had a small one hanging from my rear view in my car in high school

#

If you want good comfort, high quality audio and microphone, get yourself sennheiser game one, or similar

calm cobalt
#

i was less than impressed with the mic quality on those, but ymmv

#

my beyerdynamic mx300s are very nice

#

i have a huge head and they fit, and don't feel like they're being ripped apart like most other headsets i've used

lusty pendant
#

Those are a bit beyond the $150 budget he posted.

#

anyone in here got a steelseries keyboard?

#

If so, how's it feel

rough moon
#

Dear Cabal Emperor @sand quarry I've personally had bad experiences with Steelseries therefore I don't recommend it but other have had positive experiences with them, someone told me their mice are good so they might have improved their build quality

#

I have a K95 Platinum Keyboard no regrets at all

sand quarry
#

Thanks for your info, i've been looking for a longer lasting one because right now I've got a razer

#

is the k95 a corsair

rough moon
#

yeah is their flagship keyboard, it's a full size with some dedicated macro keys if you don't need those then the K70 will do just fine make sure to check out the MKII for the K70 which is newer but yeah great build quality really happy with it tbh

sand quarry
#

Alright cool I'll be sure to keep an eye on those

Get yourself a ducky

calm cobalt
#

@heady pilot Sharex is a fantastic screen capture utility.

Hey Guys I'm looking for a Good Budget Gaming Membrane Keyboard. Right now I have the Red Imp Keyboard but i've had it for a few years and the keys are starting to get stuck and I a new mouse also I have a 5 year old mouse thats starting to have difficulty responding

#

Please help!

heady pilot
#

About the keyboard..if it's removable keys then it can be cleaned. Unless its a memebrane keyboard well welp.

unique bane
#

So you mainly have 3 choices right there and even if you have a good enough working mouse i find those combo's are worth it because you would have a back up mouse

lusty pendant
#

That's not a mechanical keyboard though, it's a "mechanical feel"

unique bane
#

Well in other words it is a memchanial keyboard

lusty pendant
#

Sounds really fake tbh, especially shipping directly from China

#

I'd avoid things like that

unique bane
#

@lusty pendant cooler master also makes those kinds of keyboards

cedar steppe
#

@lusty pendant I don't want a mech keyboard I like membrane for gaming Better

#

but I'll check those out @unique bane Thanks

unique bane
#

np

#

@cedar steppe Mem chanical keyboards gives you the performance of a mechanical but the feel of a membrane

cedar steppe
#

yeah thats the kind of keyboard I have now

#

But its gonna be hard to find one with the same quality of this one @unique bane It has rgb and a metal plate in it to weight it down and its completely water proof I only paid 25 bucks for it

unique bane
#

@cedar steppe the 3rd link i posted they keyboard never really moves unless i really move it and is also water proof

how is a g413

calm cobalt
#

i’d say compared to other choices, it’s not the best

#

romer g’s aren’t that great

#

theres the gmmk, razer huntsman te, gk61, gk64, dz60rgb hotswap, Instant60, XD87, YC96, Polaris65, HS60, Instant60, 1upRGB, KBD67, etc

vital crater
#

Anybody know anything about the Steelseries Sensei 310 mouse?

calm cobalt
#

keyswitches are a very subjective thing, personally i rather like the romer g switches and i would recommend a keyboard with them, but with the caveat of trying various switches yourself and basing your choice on what you like and dislike

torn dagger
#

^^ I love romer g, I'm not a huge fan of clicky feeling keys

calm cobalt
#

i gravitate towards mx browns/clears most, but i've also tried literally dozens of switches

#

i guess i should qualify that by saying i have the luxury of b&m stores by me having very nice keyboard selections so i can try many different switches

torn dagger
#

I tried Best buy so I only really got to compare a few things, some Corsair and razer keyboards. I ended up liking the G910 the most.

#

It's a very comfortable keyboard

calm cobalt
#

i guess they must sell a lot more mech keyboards where i am cuz my best buys usually have 8-10 boards with different switches out

#

although they're often just clones of different switches, i.e., some of the boards are razer boards that have clones of the cherry switches

pallid rampart
#

most people tend to hate romer Gs and browns

#

because they aren't quite mechanical romer Gs especially

#

they feel more like membranes

#

and cherry browns are incredibly scratchy

#

kailh box is what I see many enthusiasts go with

#

most of them hate cherry switches

calm cobalt
#

my brown/clear boards have not felt like a membrane keyboard for a fraction of a second

#

they're definitely not as...mechanical as blues or other heavy switches but they feel nothing like membranes imo

pallid rampart
#

I was referring to romer Gs especially in that sentence

#

'browns are just poorly engineered and scratchy' -quote from a keyboard enthusiast

calm cobalt
#

honestly what other people like isn't that relevant, it's what you like

pallid rampart
#

I prefer membrane myself to be fair

#

I luckily have a good membrane board that works nearly flawlessly after 9 or so years

calm cobalt
#

people should try as many switches as they reasonably can, but i know not everyone can go into a store and try a full keyboard (because the key testers don't give you the full story of how a switch feels when installed in an actual board)

#

that is not uncommon, but i cringe every time i have to type on a membrane keyboard after using mechs for a decade+

#

just goes back to finding what each person likes, and thankfully there's an (overwhelming) number of options for mech switches

lusty pendant
#

whatever "keyboard enthusiast" claims that browns are "poorly engineered and scratchy" needs to get their head out of their butt and realize that different people like different things

#

to me any linear switch isn't deserving of a mechanical keyboard

calm cobalt
#

i can't agree more, i am a "gamer" and i cannot stand for a fraction of a second linear keys

lusty pendant
#

but that's my opinion, and I'm not going to go and tell people not to get a switch they like

#

and browns for me are the best switch

#

because blues are too loud

calm cobalt
#

i can see why some would say they're scratchy, but that's not how i would describe them

#

clears are a nice middle ground, but hard to find if you like the feel of browns but want something heavier

lusty pendant
#

I've never gotten to try clears or romer g's

calm cobalt
#

the romer g's are nice, but they're not super groundbreaking or mindblowing

lusty pendant
#

there's also another point to be brought up - not all of the same switch are created equal

calm cobalt
#

but the clears are closer to blues in weight with a little more feel of browns

#

in terms of the "graininess"

lusty pendant
#

browns in my ducky one 2 feel way different from browns in my corsair k70

calm cobalt
#

yeah, a keyboard with or without a backplate, or o-rings will make them feel like they're entirely different

lusty pendant
#

overall any switch can be good for you, it all depends on what you like your keyboard to feel and sound like

calm cobalt
#

yup

crude saffron
#

@upbeat bloom do you think its worth it ?

upbeat bloom
#

Hmmmm TBH you can prob just buy a standard softbox set for about the same price or even less and you'd get 2 units.

But softboxes take space.
If you have a small area, then get the elgato.

crude saffron
#

yah i have quite big areea but my lights arnt the best at night

upbeat bloom
#

I would then recommend a softbox..l

crude saffron
#

yeah i dont want a softbox tho i like how the elagto key light looks and stuff and how it attaches

i have seena few youtube vidoe abbout it and trish aswell

your preferences arent the same with someone else's

its all down to the person and what they like, no one else can really recommend switches to others

to further reinforce the personal preference and "try some out before you buy" (not that i'm knocking your taste in topre switches) i think the topre switches feel mushy

#

do you guys have any recommendations for a 60% mechanical keyboard with RGB

tight pulsar
#

Anne pro 2, pok3r rgb, gmmk compact, ducky one 2 mini rgb

calm cobalt
#

dz60rgb, Instant60, 1upkeyboards’ hotswap pcb if you aren’t afraid to go custom @zenith burrow

random plover
#

Geek gk61 hotswap...possibly the cheapest 60% hotswap kb. Uses gat optical which are not only cheap but very good considering there activation distance is very low

tight pulsar
#

yeah, but the software is terrible and it’s optical switches for $10 less than the gmmk

random plover
#

The gmmk is like $110 the gk 61 is $45

#

Also optical switches are a plus, they last longer, are more responsive, and cheaper

tight pulsar
#

the barebones gmmk is $60

#

and there are only 5 different optical switches on the market, compared to the dozens of normal ones

#

so for $15 more, you get software that can key map, do layers, and a bunch others and supports nearly any switch, from hp’s to cherry to gaterons

random plover
#

I know the base is $60 but then youd have to buy switches and caps, so 30-40 more (on the low end)

#

The gk is $45 with switches and caps

#

So imo a better value, it's obviously not gonna be as quality but yeah

#

In your guys opinion, what’s the best curved gaming monitor with g sync?

tight pulsar
#

what resolution/refresh rate/panel type/budget @last trellis

last trellis
#

FHD is 1080p, 144 or 244 (Doesn’t matter), idk what panels r but I liked my Lenovo y27g re gsync monitor a lot, and budget doesn’t matter

#

Would like it to be 27 inch if possible but doesn’t matter a ton

pallid rampart
#

I wouldn't recommend 27" 1080p

#

too low of a pixel density

paper thunder
#

I used to own a 768p 29" and it was just fine. It depends on your sensitivity to things.

#

27" 1080p isn't too bad. While you can notice a downgrade from 1440p at that size, it's not too significant.

lusty pendant
unique bane
#

27" for 1080p is fine when you get to 32" for 1080p then you can tell people how bad that is

grizzled flint
#

depends on how close you sit as well. I sit about arms length from my monitor, so around 30 inches, and anything larger than a 24" at 1080p and I can see the pixels.

unique bane
#

average person usually sits between 2 to 3 feet away from their monitor

Looks pretty good for the price, not familiar with that headset though, did you get a mouse too?

unique bane
#

No idea why you would sell your console for a keyboard and a headset

inner moat
#

ye lmao

unique bane
#

I honestly believe you could of traded your PS4 with the games for a 2060S and then sell that for like 350$ instead

onyx stump
#

I didn't sell my console for a keyboard and a headset, I sold it for a keyboard, headset, and a rx 570 for them to be able to play some form of games on their pc

#

Also got the premium edition of mk11, but I walked out with $230, then used all that for those.

onyx stump
#

Figured it's a good deal for a well-used console and games that I never play anymore

vivid heath
#

I dont know if this would be the exact appropriate area to discuss headsets and audio, but I keep having this issue where I keep getting random distorted static sounds from my headset. It is a Steelseries Arctis 3, and I have already tested it on my phone and my other PC to make sure it wasn't the headset itself. I have done some research and cant seem to find a solution. I think it may be something with either the drivers or a dying soundcard. A dying soundcard would suck because I have a Gaming Laptop (Pretty garbage specs, but a dead soundcard means dead logic board, and basically new laptop, if I understand right.) So I am shooting for a driver issue or other?

#

What is odd is that it only seems to happen when I fullscreen a game, I play Rainbow Six Siege, so when the static goes spaz, it is a bit of a pain.

#

Or when I launch a game

lusty pendant
#

Do you get a framerate drop at the same time as the distortion?

#

My friend and I have both been having that happen lately, think it might have something to do with win10 or nvidia drivers

vivid heath
#

I will check

#

It makes sense, because it seems to happen when it swaps from my Intel Graphics to the 860M in my laptop

last trellis
#

So anyone have good 27 inch 1080p monitors?

#

My old one looked fine, but then again it was like a 700$+ monitor

Also, price does not matter for either of those, the desk could be a couple thousand

a new keyboard, the Dvorak keyboard, was designed for pure speed, but it never naught on

Question, would an Elgado hd60s work with a pc and laptop if I were to want to stream and use my laptop for my streamlabs and pc for game?

calm cobalt
#

don't those exist as separate encoding/capture cards (or dongles, in the case of the external one) so as to offload all the work to itself? i.e., just run OBS in the background which should have minimal performance impact because the encoding is done by the dongle? i ask because if you get that, why not just use one system instead of two

#

i see, the external one is only a capture, no encode

#

i'd imagine what you would do is take the hdmi out of your gaming pc into the dongle, then the dongle links into laptop and streams via that

Is it worth getting a sound card? I use Sennheiser headphones most of the time

@glass hinge really depends cause sound cards does help improve the sound better but depending on your sound system

I really only use the headphones now. Other than those, I do have the Logitech Z313 speaker system

lol I usually have headphones on these days with my phone playing music over a bluetooth speaker

You'd have to remember that a sound card only works from the card itself so if you plug in your headset on your front port you will get the sounds from the motherboard audio

That makes sense

I've been reading up on sound cards yesterday, supposedly an external dac/amp is actually better than an internal sound card

I’ll probably get one of those then

Some warnings on the gk61, the software isn’t super easy to use and can only use optical switches (nothing like gateron inks, mx blacks, kahil box whites, etc). However it is a great budget keyboard, stabs and build quality aren’t great but aren’t trash

random plover
#

I'm fine with using only optical, from what I've seen they tend to be better overall due to no "moving"parts

#

And I dont plan on putting really nice aftermarket switches in that budget of a board, just your standard red, black, blue, brown

solid mauve
#

optical switches are really just a gimmick imo

random plover

except they aren't

i mean they're cheap, but you can get gateron switches for like 25 cents a switch and work with more boards

I don’t really expect an answer as the thing I’m going to ask about is at least 17 years old. Has anyone ever had a JVC TH-M303 and if so how did it work. My dad has one and it hasn’t been plugged in since my brother was baptized 17 years ago. I’m thinking of getting the power cables and speaker wire and putting it back up for Father’s Day. Would it be worth my time and money?

It’s 925 watts by the way. Not sure if that is peak or rma it doesn’t say.

Hi! Technically incompetent person stupidly trying to get all the components for a docking station for a more technically savvy person as a gift. I'm looking for a solution and I can't figure out what to purchase... I have gotten two Dell U2415 monitors, a belkin Thunderbolt 3 mini docking station, aaaand... a 2014 macbook pro with thunderbolt 2 ports. The only 2-way adapter I could find was the apple tb 3 to tb 2 adapter, but from what I can tell, visually, I need a tb 2 male to tb 3 female. I need the 2-way for flight simulator components. Does this exist? If not, what is the best reasonably priced TB 2 docking station with 2 HDMI ports?

#

If this isn't the place I should be posting this, could someone please point me in the direction of the correct category?

young vine
#

nah you're fine.

#

I have no idea about docks and apple stuff though :\

#

I'm sure someone in here does. you'll just have to wait 😛

young vine

Just cross posted. They are definitely busier!

Hey @young vine, Thank you for your help! The monitors just got delivered to my work, so my coworker set them up for me. For some reason, I thought I NEEDED a docking station to have dual monitor display. He was able to do a daisy-chain to make it work. We were only able to get one monitor working with my other coworkers computer, but I guess hers is circa 2012 and doesn't have a TB port. He said it should work fine on the 2014 and we'll test it tomorrow... Now to return the docking station. And the TB 3 to TB 2 adapter. and the cables. and the HDMI > USB adapter...

young vine

lol glad it worked out.

Are the Corsair K55 keyboard and Corsair Harpoon mouse good? I asked for that for Christmas from my grandparents and I'm hoping it's something good.

random plover

k55 is kinda meh imo, if you don't need a name brand "gaming" keyboard then you can find decent to equal quality boards for cheaper

#

but it is a decent keyboard (I would say try to find a mech board for that price range too)

Yeah, I really wanted to get one with Cherry mechanical switches for around $40 but we both know that ain't happening without something sketchy going on

Redragon is where cheap and decent mech keyboards are at

And recommended mics? My Audio Technicas don't have one.

I would get a Blue Yeti but my mom has one and it's too big.

And the V Moda boompro doesn't work with my Audio Technicas because of the 2.5 Jack.

My source for it being good, LTT video doing a comparison on mics many months ago

glacial nova
#

Hmm. I don't know if that will fit either.

#

It looks smaller then the Blue Yeti but still kinda big.

#

I might just get Fidelio x2 with the V moda boompro tbh. I don't have a ton of room for a mic and I can't move a ton stuff around on my desk because of my injuries.

I might be able to mount it on my wall though, that would work really well.

Should I get a pair of Sennheiser headphones? Im asking because i need to finish a project. And I need to hear every mistake. I aint going Logitech for headphones again honestly. Audiophile headphones may be my best bet.

glacial nova
#

What are you using the headphones for?

#

Editing?

#

@hard fable

#

Also, what's your budget

cinder spindle
#

do yall know why the glorious model o disconnets and reconnets

hard fable
#

Gaming and editing. I already have an external microphone so.

#

150$ or below 200.

#

Thats my budget.

glacial nova
#

Do you want something more for gaming or more for editing?

#

Or something in between?

#

Also, open back or closed back?

#

If you don't know the difference, Open back is better in quieter and small rooms basically. Closed back is better for louder rooms and around people.

#

Audio Technica M40x or M50x would probably be good for you. There studio headphones but they work pretty well for games, music, etc.

#

The m40x's are $100 and are pretty flat, which is great for editing but not so great if you want more bass. The m50x's have more bass and are better for music but still good for music.

#

There both closed back headphones. The only thing I don't like about the (I have the m40x) is the proprietary 2.5 jack instead of the usual 3.5 jack.

#

If you don't need to connect a microphone to them then I wouldn't worry about it, but it's still something to look our for.

#

There's also the Fidelio x2 and x2hr. There both open back and a little more expensive then the Audio Technica headphones.

#

I would recommend either of the Audio Technica's though. There both great for the price and you'll still have money left over for stuff like memory foam earpads, a stand, extra cable, food, etc

hard fable
#

I want a balance of basically everything

glacial nova
#

M40x would probably be the best then.

#

They would be able to give you more options then I can since I have a limited experience for now.

hard fable
#

I mean ive been looking at sennheiser and beyerdynamic.

glacial nova
#

Yeah, I just don't know too much about Sennheiser or Beyerdynamic. I know they make great headphones like the HD 600 but that's about all I know about Sennheiser.

hard fable
#

(I realized i put my message in the wrong channel)

amber oracle
#

@hard fable beyerdynamics to my ears have a more neutral "sound". Where sennheiser seems to more high pithced in the "sound". I have had my dt-990 pro 250ohms for 5years now.

#

But first thing to say about purchasing headphones should really be this: See if you can go somewhere and actually try them with music you really really know

hard fable
#

I Mean i am going to be using the headphones for video editing and gaming or work.

amber oracle
#

go and try them

#

If at all possible.

#

None of the tech stores have em.

#

not around where i live anyways

because if the "sound" just doesnt sound "right" to you, then you have wasted a bunch of money :)

young vine
#

hi Naed 😄

amber oracle
#

here we generally go to hi-fi stores to try stuff like this. and then buy it wherever it is cheaper

#

hello @young vine

#

@hard fable i will strongly suggest that you travel, heck, travel far for the opportunity to actually get hands on time with a potential headset (when you are thinking about models in the range of the dt990)

hard fable
#

Is the DT990 a strong suggestion..?

cyan basalt
#

Do you have an amp/dac for your headphones?

#

I have the DT770, they're comfortable, but they also have more bass, so it's not a neutral sound

hard fable
#

Alesis Io2 Express is what i have

cyan basalt
#

I'm not familiar with that, I can't find the ohms, but you really only need to worry if the headphones are hard to drive.

My DT770's are 250ohm, most portable headphones are like 32-80 ohms

#

You could run them but might not be able to get them super loud, if that's your thing

#

$95 shipped

hard fable
#

o.o; h-heeh....

#

I might go for the DT990's.

it better be built like a tank for that cost

@manic sierra ngl you can do so much better for even a top-tier corsair keyboard with cherry reds, blue, brown (i think)

@jolly bloom Just get a custom mech keyboard with that price

Hey guys i have a question, i want to buy the razer huntsman TE and i wanted to know, does it matter with which switch i order it? Im mean like is there a difference between different switches and their accuation points?

#

I want the fastest switches

cerulean ginkgo
#

get the regular huntsman, they have razer's fancy opto-mechanical switches that use lasers and stuff for fastest responsiveness and lowest actuation points. The TE is the smaller, worse model

shy timber
#

I buy the te because its more portable

#

@cerulean ginkgo

cerulean ginkgo
#

you won't get the fastest switches then

shy timber
#

But they do have the opto switches

cerulean ginkgo
#

look for razer's opto-mechanical switch yeah

#

if it has the opto-mechanical, not the linear optical one, go for it

shy timber
#

It has the linear optical but they are fast
@jack

cerulean ginkgo
#

again, it's not the fastest

#

you can't say you want the fastest then not go for the fastest my dude

shy timber
#

Its literally in their site

#

They explain about the opto mechanical switch and then they say the switch can be found in the razer huntsman TE, regular huntsman and huntsman elite

ok ok, the opto-mechanical is the fastest switch, anything that isn't an opto-mechanical is slower hence not being the fastest. you can compromise as you see fit, but in the end its your choice

Hey guys.

young vine
#

o/

keen cosmos
#

Sounds like I'm going to be in need of a new keyboard sooner than I expected.

young vine
#

yikes 😦

keen cosmos
#

I want to get a sweet mechanical one, but I don't even know where to start.

young vine
#

lets start with budget

keen cosmos
#

I think last time I was looking at them, I wanted something with cherry brown switches for the tactile thing, but I'm second guessing myself.

#

I'd be OK spending $100 CAD

young vine
#

and yeah, you gotta think about the annoyance factor of the clack

#

that's one thing I hate .. watching streamers (if you stream) and they have annoying loud keyboard

keen cosmos
#

Hah

young vine
#

just not a good user experience in my opinion

keen cosmos
#

I get it can be its own charm if you don't have to worry about the noise

young vine
#

yeah 😄

keen cosmos
#

But yeah, I'm looking for silent switches.

young vine
#

mmmm

#

that's what I use

keen cosmos
#

I think I want something that's a 104 switch keyboard, although I'm kinda going back and forth on the numpad, like if I could have it separate.

young vine
#

mx silent switches

#

you don't feel a click tho

#

it's just a nice feel

keen cosmos
#

I might go for feeling the click

keen cosmos
#

Alright, you know what, I'm just going to go to my local shop and play with some keyboards today.

young vine
#

there ya go, they might have one of those dummy boards

#

that have all the types of switches

keen cosmos
#

What's crazy?

young vine
#

the amount of different switches.

keen cosmos
#

Ah.

#

What do you think of the HyperX brand?

young vine
#

HyperX is nice

north nimbus
#

i have this cheap E-YOOSO chinese keyboard 81key

#

it has some red switches of unknown provenance, i think outemu in it

#

but you can switch out the switches!

#

no soldering

#

i'm gonna get some of those high quality boutique kaihua switches

#

the only problem is it's got RGB that doesn't do anything cool, like allow you to program colors per switch

#

just presets, which are to be fair, hideous

manic sierra
#

Pretty happy with the g910 and its "romer-g" switches

lusty magnet
#

I need a silent RGB gaming keyboard and which one is proper switch for it?

young vine
#

mx-silent lol

lusty magnet
#

I might get a basic keyboard like magic keyboard but it doesn't have RGB

random plover
#

I'd say get a cheaper board that has cherry clones, you save money and get basically the same quality

#

And you get a lot more options opened up to you

warm plaza
#

If you can find a deal on keyboards from companies that make their own switches, logitech romer-G's are like cherry MX reds, and razer orange switches are like cherry MX browns, i'm quite sure

manic sierra
#

personally I really like the romer-g's typing this on them right now

warm plaza
#

same here

#

Logitech G413, you can usually find good used ones on amazon

manic sierra
#

G910 here love it

#

other than the stupid phone holder thing that I could do with out

warm plaza
#

honestly

manic sierra
#

S9+ doesnt fit in it anyway and it looks stupid

amber oracle
#

@young vine re: amount of switches: When you consider that the keyboard is one of your main interfaces with your system. It makes sense to take care that you get stuff that you actually like the feel of.

young vine
#

that is true.

amber oracle
#

it is a bit like buying a system with all the GPU power and having a random smear-tastic monitor

young vine
#

what I kinda meant was, if someone just going for one, it can be overwhelming seeing all the different style switches

#

without having the different switches laid out on a switch display

amber oracle
#

yes (switch tester is the name you are looking for)

manic sierra
#

go to best buy and try them all out thats what I do 😉

young vine
#

yeah that is it

#

I need a nap

#

lol

#

you know what I meant 😛

manic sierra
#

LOL

wooden stump
#

ok

tight pulsar
#

@young vine you should see how many switches there are out there with other manufactures

north nimbus
#

kaihua switches are currently gaining on cherry for popularity

#

among keyboard enthusiasts

#

and some enthusiasts have even commissioned their own designs to be made by kaihua

tight pulsar
#

gateron switches > nearly all other switches imo

amber oracle
#

much as i like gateron switches, it is a preference thing for a lot of heavy typers

tight pulsar
#

switches from budget prices like just their normal ones and all the way up to inks and zeal switches use gateron

white talon
#

Logitech all day everyday

tight pulsar
#

🤔 how much was that keyboard

wooden stump
manic sierra
#

@wooden stump is that the logitech charge pad thingy?

#

I keep thinking about getting one since my g703 doesnt hold a charge for very long

tight pulsar
white talon
#

@tight pulsar I got my g810 for $90

tight pulsar
#

oh thats not that bad

white talon
#

Nope got it on Amazon brand new on sale

tight pulsar
#

if it was like 150+ for a keyboard with cherry mx or switches like that i think its ripping you off but thats just me :/

white talon
#

Well kinda depends on what's the keyboard made of and features. My keyboard is loaded and romer G switches which I like alot

tight pulsar
#

true, but im kind of biased since i enjoy r/mk too much :v

manic sierra
#

the g910 is only 89.99 right now

#

I have one its awesome

north nimbus
#

g910

#

what's the small one with less keys

#

and the romer-g

#

so expensive

manic sierra
#

maybe the g512 carbon

north nimbus
#

the hwat

manic sierra
north nimbus
#

i don't use full keyboards

#

i use tenkeyless or ideally smaller

manic sierra
#

oh when you said extra I thought you mean the G keys over the F keys lol

north nimbus
#

oh i get it

#

So how good would the steelseries apex pro's features really be?

manic sierra
#

I like it too

#

so simple

Love the kb what switches @lilac jay

Built the kit myself, it's from RAMA Works.

Awesome

north nimbus

#

still too many key

random plover
#

Then get a 60%

north nimbus
#

i am considering it

lilac jay
#

This is a RAMA Works KOYU board. They make quality aluminum enclosures but are also pricey. I have a couple other keyboards from Ducky/The MIni Van Keyboard etc.

#

this has 2 FN layers, for work around a PC as long as you get your keys/shortcuts down it's an awesome board.

#

There are a few I found.

random plover
#

Beautiful keyboard, I wanna get into building some of my own but they're just so pricey lol

north nimbus
#

i see some input club hako true switches in the green one

#

was the design of that based on the whitefox

#

i'm thinking of buying some of those switches because i can switch them out on my keyboard without soldering

lilac jay
#

It's off their website but they are Kaihl Box Royals I believe.

north nimbus
#

oh so Kaihua is selling them too

wanton carbon

That's a decent headset but heads up you might need to buy a replacement splitter

Can someone recommend a good air blower?

#

like the compressed air cans

#

but not in a can

#

so i dont have to buy a liquid filled can everytime

calm cobalt
#

and how about a triple monitor mount? i have a 24", 27", and soon a <24" that will be vertical. I'd prefer ones that dont clamp on the back of the desk due to weird desk shapes at my school

manic sierra
#

sorry I cant really recommend one as I've never used one perhaps someone else that has will have some advice

calm cobalt
#

i found a good one for $32 thanks for the help @manic sierra

I've got a Soundblaster Vanguard set and have been happy with it

north nimbus

i got it with red switches but i'm unhappy with the feeling of them so i'm going to upgrade my switches when i've got extra money not going somewhere else
