#

these are plug-in switches

#

very fast and easy

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:03 PM

#

Just an FYI, at $1 per switch, it'd be cheaper to just buy another board with the switches you want. 81 switches is $81

#

@north nimbus if you go the CHerry MX route

coarse rampart Dec 10, 2019, 6:03 PM

#

god i hate mechanical

#

laughed when one of them MLG Moba guys recommended against it

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:04 PM

#

Even if you don't go Cherry, it's cheaper to buy a whole nother board with the switches you want

coarse rampart Dec 10, 2019, 6:04 PM

#

aren't Cherry switches the best feeling ones available tho?

#

i've heard the rest have huge dead zones

#

maybe blue were better

#

but like, they so heavy!

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:05 PM

#

Others are OK, they have different weights and activation points

coarse rampart Dec 10, 2019, 6:05 PM

#

feel like i need a hammer to press them with lol

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:05 PM

#

Cherry's do

coarse rampart Dec 10, 2019, 6:06 PM

#

i've always used membrane keyboards

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:06 PM

#

I like mechanicals, membranes don't have the feel I need

coarse rampart Dec 10, 2019, 6:06 PM

#

not like i ever hit more than 50 keys simultaneously to hit the limit

#

and most "gaming" keyboards have programmable keys to do multiple keystrokes for you so you don't get not close still to the upper limitation

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:08 PM

#

Yup, macros are really nice once you set them up right

coarse rampart Dec 10, 2019, 6:08 PM

#

the whole argument for mechanical keyboards is laughable

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:08 PM

#

There is no argument for or against, it's all personal preference

#

That's where people get sideways

coarse rampart Dec 10, 2019, 6:09 PM

#

talking like its membrane that has the limit, its the USB bandwidth that limits it

#

they both have the same limitations lol

#

maybe mechanical has more technically cuz it has a single circuit for each key right?

#

and membrane is like a bus bar system?

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:10 PM

#

No, electronically they are the same

coarse rampart Dec 10, 2019, 6:10 PM

#

i kinda figured

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:10 PM

#

But membrane has carbon pads vs an actual switch

coarse rampart Dec 10, 2019, 6:10 PM

#

and which lasts longer?

#

you'd think a physical switch would wear faster than a pad

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:11 PM

#

Typically a mechanical

#

It's not just the pad though, once the membrane flexes X times it gets soft

coarse rampart Dec 10, 2019, 6:11 PM

#

but its metal flex vs silicon flex

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:11 PM

#

There is no silicon flex, it's the rubber membrane that provides the spring action

#

That tends to wear out more quickly than a metal spring

coarse rampart Dec 10, 2019, 6:12 PM

#

.... mine are silicon

#

am i saying it right?

#

not the chip silicon

#

the rubber silicon stuff

#

silicone?

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:12 PM

#

Silicone...but that in itself is not conductive

#

It has carbon in it to conduct electricity

#

Silicone is an insulator

coarse rampart Dec 10, 2019, 6:13 PM

#

right but its the flexible stuff

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:13 PM

#

Yes, Silicone, with an E

coarse rampart Dec 10, 2019, 6:13 PM

#

its what the membrane is made of

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:13 PM

#

Silicon is the hard stuff

coarse rampart Dec 10, 2019, 6:13 PM

#

ok ty

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:13 PM

#

Right. but the pad for the actual contact is carbon

coarse rampart Dec 10, 2019, 6:13 PM

#

yes

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:14 PM

#

Anyway, the silicone will wear out faster than a mechanical, metal spring, in general

#

THe bottom line is though, it all comes down to feel when you type

coarse rampart Dec 10, 2019, 6:14 PM

#

are they springs? what makes the click? wouldn't the click bit break before the silicone goes gooey?

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:14 PM

#

Wearing out a keyboard, in all reality, doesn't really happen for most users

coarse rampart Dec 10, 2019, 6:14 PM

#

true too

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:15 PM

#

Metal springs provide the pressure and return, yes. And no, they typically don't give up before silicone does

coarse rampart Dec 10, 2019, 6:15 PM

#

however in the time i've had THIS keyboard, a friend has replaced 2 mechanical keyboards

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:15 PM

#

Why?

coarse rampart Dec 10, 2019, 6:15 PM

#

said it stopped working/borke

#

broke*

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:15 PM

#

Eh, probably not a switch issue then

coarse rampart Dec 10, 2019, 6:15 PM

#

:/

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:15 PM

#

Those tend to go out one by one

#

If the whole thing dies, that's a cable or controller issue

coarse rampart Dec 10, 2019, 6:16 PM

#

i think thats what happed, but idk honestly

#

he had 3 Corsair i think... maybe Razer, kept complaining about the same thing like spacebar stops or something

#

he would eat "near" it and i was like that prolly why

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:17 PM

#

Interesting. Mechanicals usually tolerate that better because the switches are sealed

coarse rampart Dec 10, 2019, 6:18 PM

#

-shrug- dunno what to say

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:18 PM

#

Me neither

#

In the end it's nothing more than personal preference. It's not like one is faster or has more MHZ or anything lol

coarse rampart Dec 10, 2019, 6:18 PM

#

told him to get one like mine and he mocked it for not being mechanical lol

#

i was like, "i've left food ON it and it still works"

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:19 PM

#

I just hate the feel of membrane switches. There's no real positive engagement for the press. It's all just kinda mush

coarse rampart Dec 10, 2019, 6:19 PM

#

then again i don't have crumbz galore

#

i love the stealth typing

#

oh yeah, mechanicals hurt my fingers too

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:20 PM

#

You can stealth type a mechanical too. 😉 The trigger point is usually before the click.

coarse rampart Dec 10, 2019, 6:20 PM

#

omg mechanicals and streamers/voip users

#

.<

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:20 PM

#

Or get different switches. They have the positive engagement without the noise

coarse rampart Dec 10, 2019, 6:20 PM

#

am like "STFU!!!"

#

well thats neat to know i guess

#

i still like membrane, and when i heard an MLG recommend it for gaming over Mechanical i was like "I KNEW IT!"

#

i did a lil happy dance :3

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:22 PM

#

Again, it's that persons preference

#

😉

coarse rampart Dec 10, 2019, 6:22 PM

#

is still my victory 😛

#

i have GX Gaming Imperator Pro

#

i wanted to get a Maurus but the Scorpion Series M6-600 had the Scorpion logo glowing instead of GX-Gaming glowing

#

i think Scorpions are cute :3

#

especially when it glows pink hehe

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:25 PM

#

I thought they glowed green under a UV light?

coarse rampart Dec 10, 2019, 6:25 PM

#

sad tho, can't control glow color, or pulse lenth

#

length*

#

o.o

#

yeah they do irl, but i mean my mouse's led glow

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:25 PM

#

Ah, gotcha

coarse rampart Dec 10, 2019, 6:26 PM

#

it just cycles through the colors and pink happens to be one

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:26 PM

#

I set all my RGB puke to a solid red lol

coarse rampart Dec 10, 2019, 6:26 PM

#

i have that on profile 2 i think

#

keys are pink on profile 1

#

profile 3 is pulse green

#

is a guest profile

#

red is my stealth mode lol

north nimbus Dec 10, 2019, 6:27 PM

#

actually it's $5 for 10 for kaihua switches which are pretty good and come in more varieties

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:27 PM

#

So, about the same cost then

#

Good to know

#

I checked the included switch price too

#

$8 for 10

north nimbus Dec 10, 2019, 6:28 PM

#

except you get the choice of what you get in switches

coarse rampart Dec 10, 2019, 6:28 PM

#

5/10=1 ???

#

oh, maybe interesting for you @north nimbus but, have you heard of Mem/chanical?

#

i think Logitech made it

north nimbus Dec 10, 2019, 6:29 PM

#

is that the membrane keyboard with a "mechanical feel" ?

coarse rampart Dec 10, 2019, 6:29 PM

#

is a membrane mechanical hybrid

north nimbus Dec 10, 2019, 6:29 PM

#

i did once own one of those

#

i didn't like it much

coarse rampart Dec 10, 2019, 6:30 PM

#

okie

north nimbus Dec 10, 2019, 6:30 PM

#

it was mushier than these red switches even

#

but it could become the norm as people get cheaper and cheaper

coarse rampart Dec 10, 2019, 6:30 PM

#

i dislike the typewriter feeling of mechanical, so i'm a membrane ftw type

#

well... i had fun chattin, ttyl

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:31 PM

#

lata!

north nimbus Dec 10, 2019, 6:31 PM

#

the "cherry mx type" switches remind me of keyboards i had as a kid

#

have fun

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:32 PM

#

Indeed

#

My keyboard has OMRON switches

north nimbus Dec 10, 2019, 6:32 PM

#

neat

#

never heard of those

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:33 PM

#

It's a low travel switch

north nimbus Dec 10, 2019, 6:33 PM

#

bottom out quick eh

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:34 PM

#

Compared to a Cherry switch, I think it's like 40% less travel?

north nimbus Dec 10, 2019, 6:35 PM

#

i've never used a cherry switch

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:35 PM

#

Well, the ones you wanted have the same travel distance

#

4mm

#

as the Cherry switches.

north nimbus Dec 10, 2019, 6:37 PM

#

https://kono.store/collections/switches/products/hako-royal-true-mechanical-switches-10-count this is what i'm looking at, i'm not entirely sure if the travel is 4 or 5mm

#

kaihua switches vary

#

jesus huge preview

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:38 PM

#

Whew, those are heavy! 63 gram pressure

north nimbus Dec 10, 2019, 6:38 PM

#

just a little heavier than blues

#

nothing serious

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:40 PM

#

Way heavier than blues, blues are 50. Cherry Clears are 65

north nimbus Dec 10, 2019, 6:40 PM

#

https://kono.store/collections/switches/products/hako-royal-clear-mechanical-switches-10-count these are something else

#

extreeeeeeeeeeme tactility!!

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:41 PM

#

Those are like old IBM keyboard style

north nimbus Dec 10, 2019, 6:41 PM

#

unicomp still makes that keyboard

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:41 PM

#

heavy clacking

north nimbus Dec 10, 2019, 6:51 PM

#

it's more like a "pwing" metallic noise

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:51 PM

#

Oh, interesting

#

That might get annoying in the long run.

north nimbus Dec 10, 2019, 6:52 PM

#

the clack is still there but it has a distinct metallic sound

#

the tech is called buckling spring and it's a flat piece of metal (the spring) which is made to buckle when you push it down, that's the sound you hear, underneath it is just a membrane :3

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 6:55 PM

#

Ya, vs the tab and spring

cedar ridge Dec 10, 2019, 7:33 PM

#

So my other server is telling I have a terrible taste in keyboards, telling me that steelseries and corsair suck ( wuuut ) what do yall suggest as keyboards

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 7:33 PM

#

Whatever you want that makes you happy

#

Keyboards are really personal preference, especially with name brands

#

I've got a Soundblaster Vanguard. They'd probably say that sucks too but I love it

cedar ridge Dec 10, 2019, 7:38 PM

#

I mean, I've used plenty of keyboards and stuff in my lifetime, just never gaming oriented. Was thinking about going with:

Steelseries apex 7
Corsair k95 platinum (brown)
3.corsair k70 mk.2

#

Just dont have a reliable/consistent source of opinion, and idk what separates these 3 boards (besides the Apex's oled display)

gloomy berry Dec 10, 2019, 7:40 PM

#

I honestly don't either. I just know that keyboards tend to be a very subjective item.

north nimbus Dec 10, 2019, 8:24 PM

#

i feel like logitech is preferred by a lot of people just because it's expensive 🙂

@weak silo depends on the backplate, but as mentioned, brown/red are normally fairly quiet. But ultimately, if possible, go and test a bunch of them. Because we cannot know what you think is loud

I've heard good feedback from those who used them on a Das Keyboard, my results on a Magicforce Qisan , gateron reds + blue rings were disappointing. It was the keyboard's cheap construction that made it noise it seems.

But also any tkl kb's?

random plover Dec 13, 2019, 3:34 PM

#

Cherry blues aren't that good if you're looking for good clickies especially for the price

#

They use one of the worse click jackets around and quite a bit of the mech community would reccomend other blues or clicky switches

#

I'd reccomend kailh box navy or jade (navy for 60g actuation and jade 50g)

#

Or box whites

#

Forgot about them

mint horizon Dec 13, 2019, 4:29 PM

Logitech clickies are quite reliable as well

But that would limit you to Logitech KBs

Corsair MM800 Polaris. Clothe or Hard Micro Texture surface for competitive gaming? Thoughts? Using a Corsair NightSword mouse. 18,000 dpi optical sensor and mostly play at between 400-500 dpi.

random plover Dec 14, 2019, 3:17 AM

#

I would say cloth as I have never liked hard surface mousepads

#

And you could get pretty much the same mousepad (or bigger) with rgb too for a looooooot cheaper if you don't go big name gaming brands

#

Also side note, I've never looked at the Nightsword until now and I realize that it is basically the exact same as a g502

humble lodge Dec 14, 2019, 3:31 AM

I'm not buying the mouse pad. Corsair is sending it to me for free.

Oh then go for it lol

humble lodge Dec 14, 2019, 3:45 AM

They have both versions which is why I asked. Anyway I decided on the micro textured hard surface just cause it's going to last longer as far as durability. I already have a MM350 Extended so if I don't like it I'll just sell it I guess.

@calm cobalt i think you want a PCIe card not that old PCI one https://www.newegg.com/rosewill-model-rc-301eu-pci-express-to-serial-port-card/p/N82E16815166024?Description=serial port&cm_re=serial_port-_-15-166-024-_-Product

There isn't that much more benefits you can get from a better keyboard other that feels and personal preferences right?

humble lodge Dec 14, 2019, 6:11 AM

#

@daring zenithWell, the quality of the switches matter, the speed of the actuation for the switch could be a factor for a competitive gamer, size matters (yea don't believe what your gf tells you), and then yea, preference.

Its a cheap 30$ or smth cherry blue "equivalent"

There are probably better quality mechanical switches out there being's that's listed as probably the cheapest mechanical keyboard on the market.

daring zenith Dec 14, 2019, 6:19 AM

#

Upgrade opportunities I should look at?

humble lodge Dec 14, 2019, 6:19 AM

#

I prefer linear switches with short actuation but that's a preference thing.

daring zenith Dec 14, 2019, 6:20 AM

#

Short actuation relates to sensitivity I assume?

#

I think mine has a higher actuation

humble lodge Dec 14, 2019, 6:20 AM

#

Well I think the top three on the market are probably razer, corsair, and hyperx in no particular order. I went with the Corsair K65 RGB Cherry MX Speed Switches Tenkeyless Compact keyboard.

#

But that's a steep price for a keyboard.

daring zenith Dec 14, 2019, 6:21 AM

#

Interesting

#

I think I am somone that types with more force but idk

humble lodge Dec 14, 2019, 6:22 AM

Luckily they messed up my RMA and offered me the upgrade for free along with a MM800 Polaris RGB mousepad.

daring zenith Dec 14, 2019, 6:22 AM

#

I've only had this one mechanical keyboard

humble lodge Dec 14, 2019, 6:23 AM

#

Well force isn't an issue just so you know. Linear short actuation switches just mean there's no audible snap of the switch and they react much sooner when you press them. They still go all the way down like any other mechanical switch.

#

Razer's RomerG switches work kind of the same way unless I'm mistaken.

amber oracle Dec 14, 2019, 6:26 AM

#

razer/corsair/hyperx might be considered nice for the gaming market. but they are by no means the nicest boards to use

#

They still go all the way down like any other mechanical switch. <- you are not supposed to bottom out when you type. Sure, you can hammer the keys hard enough for that to happen, but your fingers will thank you if you try to avoid it

#

also, keep in mind, the RomerG switches are not stem comptatible with regular cherry switch keys.

#

meaning, getting replacement keycaps is fairly annoying.

humble lodge Dec 14, 2019, 6:55 AM

#

@amber oracle The quality of their higher end boards is what is used in any other high quality keyboard on the market. It's all the same stuff rebranded.

There is nothing wrong with bottoming out the switch. If it doesn't bother your fingers, it won't hurt the switch either. No one said you should "hammer" the keys either.

I never said they were compatible. I said they likely function the same way.

I appreciate your input but you're not here to help anyone, you're just trying to be an insufferable know-it-all who doesn't know-it-all.

amber oracle Dec 14, 2019, 6:59 AM

#

what i offer is advice. what you just offered above is a misreading of said advice.

#

that is entirely on you.

north nimbus Dec 14, 2019, 8:26 AM

#

also to clarify, RomerG switches are Logitech, Razer and most other brands use cherry MX compatible stems

#

Razer uses their own unique optomechanical switches, but they still allow you to switch keycaps with major brands

#

i don't think anyone but logitech and matias use non-MX style stems

#

matias uses an alps style switch

#

and some other outliers use this type of switch

@spice igloo just make certain that you do some research into how they actually sound.

preferably with video of the board you want to buy.

because the backplate, material choice etc all has an impact on how they sound.

So likely I know the reason why, but I just recently upgraded my old office pc to 8GB of ram from its original 4GB, and back at the start of this year I gave it a Nvidia GeForce 1050 ti. (no idea what other parts are in my desktop spesifically cause its a 6 year old pc and was bought from bestbuy) but I think my cpu is what holds me back still with gaming, I can game decently now but not as much as id like, and I think it stems from my cpu (Intel Pentium dual core 3.00GHz) Could it be cause of the dual cores why games still have constant ups and downs at time? ThinkingEgg

#

Or could it just be age?

daring zenith Dec 20, 2019, 2:50 AM

#

Sounds like the CPU could be bottlenecking the gpu

calm cobalt Dec 20, 2019, 2:55 AM

#

Ah, didn't think of it like that (I'm not too knowledgeable with the details of the hardware) All I know is I was told if I wanted to get more performance out of my system till I could build a new computer, a 1050 ti and 8gb of ram would do it. But that sounds like thats what it is.

weak silo Dec 20, 2019, 2:57 AM

#

Your CPU needs upgrading but doing so means different architecture which means different motherboard and ram
So it's never cheap upgrading an outdated cpu

#

But on the other hand at least you'll actually get a huge performance leap on the cpu
Most newer setups just need super expensive gpu upgrades to get any more performance

Yeah i was afraid of that cause of how old the setup is, I had to get ddr3 ram for the upgrade and i knew before i even tried it out that the cpu likely would be the only thing still holding back, but because of age i was afraid that if i was to upgrade the cpu, might as well start over with a new mobo and everything else causs i really have no idea if a new cpu could possibly work in such a old mobo 😅

weak silo Dec 20, 2019, 3:06 AM

#

It would be terrible not to upgrade to a recent gen on the cpu.
CPUs are very important. It just happens that near recent gen never really bottlenecks the gpu because of how insane the gpu performance has increased and become used for gaming

#

But your cpu is really out dated

#

I have the 1050 ti in my laptop and it's a great gpu
I was running WoW on medium high settings and that game is really demanding these days

#

My best advice for anything computer related is to not try to upgrade the cheapest way possible but instead save up more over time so you can buy recently released gen.
You will be much more pleased.

calm cobalt Dec 20, 2019, 4:31 AM

#

Thing is i have no idea if any new cpus are compatible with such a old mystery mobo 🙃 and i cant just shell hour a couple hundred on a cpu right now if it was compatible

feral verge Dec 20, 2019, 6:07 AM

#

You could use an application like CPU-Z to find out your motherboard type then a site like pcpartpicker or some google searches to see what is and isn’t compatible

#

However, odds are you’ll need a new mobo and that means you’ll probs need ddr4 ram too

stiff thunder Dec 20, 2019, 11:10 AM

which is better? vg278qr vs vg279q
https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/comparison/ccd78e76d

Comparison between: 27" Asus VG278QR, 27" Asus VG279Q

lusty pendant Dec 20, 2019, 11:40 AM

#

It used to be TN panel for faster response time and lower latency over IPS

#

but that IPS panel actually looks faster based on those details

#

so I'd say vg279q

amber oracle Dec 20, 2019, 4:43 PM

#

@calm cobalt do you have the ability to figure out what mainboard you actually have? (with that info, we can help you figure out if it is feasible to buy a second-hand cpu (you might need an upgraded cooler too))

So

#

I tried to connect my 2.1 speaker system to my 2.0 tv

#

They work but i can not seem to sync the audio

#

Even if i have the multi channel option on

gloomy berry Dec 20, 2019, 8:45 PM

is there a setting in the TV for Audio Delay?

Its the worst when people speak in videos

gloomy berry Dec 20, 2019, 8:46 PM

#

The audio delay setting fixed it, has something like 200 ms of adjustment

#

What 2.1 system?

rough valve Dec 20, 2019, 8:47 PM

#

Instead of the sound going through all 4 speakers

#

The same sound is played on the 2.1 and my tv

#

2 speakers coupled to a subwoofer

#

I think it has optical audio

gloomy berry Dec 20, 2019, 8:48 PM

#

SO the subwoofer is also the speaker output?

rough valve Dec 20, 2019, 8:48 PM

#

No

#

I can just plug the speakers out and use it to add a subwoofer to my tv

#

Because the green jack that goes in is coupled to the subwoofer and then there is a cable you can plug in to use the 2 speakers

#

Sorry if my explanation is not good,not very well versed in audio

gloomy berry Dec 20, 2019, 8:50 PM

#

Yeah, it's OK. Green jack like a PC audio green jack? headphone jack?

rough valve Dec 20, 2019, 8:50 PM

#

Yea

#

Pc audio green jack

#

Like the old headsets that had it before usb

gloomy berry Dec 20, 2019, 8:51 PM

#

From there it goes to the subwoofer and the speakers plug into.....the subwoofer? Or to the speakers and then the subwoofer?

rough valve Dec 20, 2019, 8:51 PM

#

The green jack goes into the tv

gloomy berry Dec 20, 2019, 8:51 PM

You're got the audio out on the TV set to TV + Headphones?

Obviously

gloomy berry Dec 20, 2019, 8:57 PM

Well, sometimes they will work without doing that

rough valve Dec 20, 2019, 8:57 PM

If i didnt the speakers wouldnt work

gloomy berry Dec 20, 2019, 8:59 PM

Ah, the audio delay only works for Digital out

#

SPDIF or optical

rough valve Dec 20, 2019, 8:59 PM

Damm

gloomy berry Dec 20, 2019, 8:59 PM

#

There's also some other audio settings

rough valve Dec 20, 2019, 8:59 PM

#

So basically that only works on sound bars

gloomy berry Dec 20, 2019, 8:59 PM

Like, Stand vs Wall

Or connecting it to a home audio receiver

rough valve Dec 20, 2019, 9:00 PM

I jave it on ai mode most of the time

gloomy berry Dec 20, 2019, 9:01 PM

that would affect sound delay

Or try another mode like Game

#

Poo

rough valve Dec 20, 2019, 9:07 PM

#

Its still oofie

#

Not as bad thk

#

Shouldnt the multi channel setting split the signal to the external speakers and use them in a home cinema sort of way?

#

Instead of playing the same audio on 2 sources

gloomy berry Dec 20, 2019, 9:10 PM

#

I think that only works on digital out or HDMI for a receiver

rough valve Dec 20, 2019, 9:11 PM

#

Hmm

#

There is a difference tho

#

When i go from stereo uncompressed to multi channel

gloomy berry Dec 20, 2019, 9:12 PM

#

That's odd because it's listed under Digital Out

#

Wchich should only affect SPDIF or Optical or HDMI

rough valve Dec 20, 2019, 9:14 PM

There is also a multi channel bypass setting

gloomy berry Dec 20, 2019, 9:14 PM

but why there is a delay between the two I have no idea

rough valve Dec 20, 2019, 9:22 PM

Its because they are too close to the tv speakers?

gloomy berry Dec 20, 2019, 9:22 PM

No

Does it do the same thing with headphones?

If so, the delay is in the Logitech

TV is stereo only. Need external for 5.1 or better

rough valve Dec 20, 2019, 9:36 PM

Can you get the better bitrate with dts surround hd even with a 2.1 setup?

#

Or is that reserved for 5.1 and up

gloomy berry Dec 20, 2019, 9:37 PM

DTS surround doesn't affect the headphone jack to my knowledge

rough valve Dec 20, 2019, 9:37 PM

I mean

gloomy berry Dec 20, 2019, 9:37 PM

Nor the TV speakers. It should only affect the HDMI/SPDIF or optical out

Using the tv speakers plus the subwoofer

Without getting too deep into this, use whatever sounds best to your ears. Keep in mind if things don't sound quite right it's because you're missing speakers

rough valve Dec 20, 2019, 9:45 PM

Like dts surround hd has 600 more kb of bitrate compared to dolby digital

gloomy berry Dec 20, 2019, 9:46 PM

And that the speaker and TV sound will be duplicated. Might be best to run one or the other.

#

I want to get a nice Herman Miller chair, but they're so $$$

amber oracle Dec 23, 2019, 5:28 PM

#

personally, IF i am budgeting a workspace for someone. It is not unheard of for the chair to cost 20-30% of the cost of the machine being built

#

just like a good quality monitor pays for itself in "comfort" over time. the same is true for the chair

#

IF you are willing to buy second-hand. Herman miller (or similar) chairs are fairly often being sold

#

again, have a chat with the local office space hardware retailer.

#

a fair number of them have an un-official buyback/resale kinda deal going on

#

it requires that you ask them thou

you normally wont find it online

i really dont know much about em

#

any recommendations?

#

in the past i've used two razer naga's and i have a scimitar pro right now

#

and its starting to fail on me

#

would like to get something $100 or less

gloomy berry Dec 24, 2019, 3:53 AM

#

Do you use all those buttons?

onyx glacier Dec 24, 2019, 3:59 AM

#

BUDGET - $100~

GAMES - everything, MMO, RPG, FPS, racing, etc etc etc.

CURRENT MOUSE - Corsair scimitar

PREFERENCES - ive always had heavy mice (naga/scimitar) so im not sure on weight, having a lighter mouse might be a nice change for once. I do like the functionality of the extra buttons, but, the software has to be actually good, ive really disliked the corsair software, i really liked synapse 2.0 when i was using it.

large hands

palm grip

ive used it a lot when i had my naga, cause the software was good. corsair's software is ass so i havent used it @gloomy berry

The Luom G10 was the best Chinese mouse Ive ever owned back when they were £10, now they arent really made and are 2x that minimum.

#

The Redragon Perdition is the next best. One I still actually use. I needed a mouse that could go above 4K DPI for 4k/6k/8k use in AoE2, it's very nice RGB with the 12 thumb buttons and reasonable enough macro software that I use a bit but mostly just set to crazy shortcut keys to use separate macro software or AHK. The weights are also quite nice.

@distant galleon if you are a tiny bit serious about the audio quality, i would strongly recommend that you visit a local shop that has demo units

If those are the ant-lion ones, then I have heard that they are "meh" on quality

#

#

Cuz I heard that few years ago and never really looked into mics for quite a while

#

i run with a crowd of audio technicians, so the amount of ribbing i would get for not using something at least semi-decent is ... high

#

but i am also aware that their "oh, just use this setup" random pieces of gear is beyond what sane people would pay for gear
