Quick question guys, I want my Logitech G710 keyboard to wake my PC from sleep, I've got it turned on in the BIOS and in the power management section of the device manager and it still doesn't work to wake it although the numlock light lights up when I press a key but it doesn't wake the PC and none of the other keys light up. any ideas on this?

little crater Feb 22, 2020, 3:29 AM

#

did you put the pc to sleep yourself then try to wake it up?

#

cuz there are many cpu states, and only one of which is sleep, so sometimes the machine will hibernate or go into other states in which wake via usb doesnt apply

west hornet Feb 22, 2020, 3:53 AM

#

it should be onm by default

sharp hornet Feb 22, 2020, 3:54 AM

fierce cipher Feb 23, 2020, 1:12 PM

@woeful garnet I made myself a top for a standing desk frame by Autonomous and have enjoyed it very much.

It does make cabling a more nuanced project, and I have spent many hours recabling, but it's all been worth it.

Is the Apex Pro keyboard worth it? Does anyone have it?

unique bane Feb 24, 2020, 3:21 PM

#

Any keyboard that fits your style is worth it

wanton wagon Feb 24, 2020, 3:51 PM

#

@formal karma in my opinion, no

#

You can get much higher quality for cheaper

#

While you may be able to adjust the actuation point, you cant adjust the feel

#

@wanton wagon they were good, but the apex pro looks sexy and isn’t it way faster?

wanton wagon Feb 24, 2020, 11:40 PM

#

Faster? @formal karma

#

What do you mean

#

It has lower actuation point?

formal karma Feb 24, 2020, 11:42 PM

#

I think that is what I mean

#

Like how much you gotta push down

wanton wagon Feb 24, 2020, 11:42 PM

#

Yeah

#

Well, the apex pro uses iirc software where you decide it

#

So yes, but lower build quality

#

Both are not very good

formal karma Feb 24, 2020, 11:57 PM

#

Wym both?

wanton wagon Feb 25, 2020, 12:00 AM

#

The corsair and apex pro

#

Get something from a typist brand, preferably not labeled "gaming"

#

Reasons why gamer keyboards (Corsair, Logitech, Razer) are not a good purchase:

Plate is airbrushed alu over low quality plastic (keystrokes feel cheap and sound pingy)
Case is plastic or very thin alu (feels bad, scratches easily)
Poor stabilizers on longer keys like spacebar, backspace, enter, etc. (lots of rattle, makes those keys wobbly)
Laser ablated low quality ABS keycaps (ruin, wear, and smudge fast)
Proprietary layout (makes finding custom keycaps to replace low quality ones difficult)

If availability is low, HyperX and Cooler Master keyboards suffer less from these issues. Steelseries keyboards at least use a standard layout so you can replace keycaps, but still suffer from the other problems, making them just a level above Corsair, Logitech, and Razer.

which headset is good for gaming and productivity work

mighty egret Feb 29, 2020, 1:02 PM

#

I think you should precise if you’re producing music (as you said in #building-and-recc-chat ) . I produce music too, I use beats studio 3, they work well for me but it isn’t a professional use and I’m sure you can get a better pair of headphones for cheaper than these pricy ones (even though ngl I do like them a lot)

#

@flint maple

okay thx

mighty egret Feb 29, 2020, 1:05 PM

They might be not suitable for gaming though, I’m going to test them out once I build my rig in a day or two. @flint maple

yeah I was getting a studio mic and a headset without mic in it

that was the plan

mighty egret Feb 29, 2020, 1:06 PM

That should be way better if you’re recording

#

Or if you want a good pair of studio headphones

west hornet Feb 29, 2020, 1:08 PM

#

Brands like beats, jbl, bose are not great for studio headphones

#

As studio headphones go I’d go for audio technica or beyerdynamics

flint maple Feb 29, 2020, 1:09 PM

#

well I went to a friend of mine his fathers business and he used bose headphones and they were great

mighty egret Feb 29, 2020, 1:09 PM

#

Sennheiser is also a good studio brand

#

AKG is not too bad too, depending on the model

west hornet Feb 29, 2020, 1:10 PM

#

Yes some bose headphones sound good and I do personally like sennheiser, but they are not always the most accurate

#

They are more for pleasure listening

#

AKG is often used by Djs

#

Some of them can be a little bassy but they’re not bad

mighty egret Feb 29, 2020, 1:12 PM

Do some research on google and YouTube, you could come back with a small list of a few headsets / headphones, people could give you suggestions easily 🙂

would using a adapter for 3.5 to mic in headset out do that?

You can try all the devices and see which one works

@daring zenith

#

So I just got some unpowered speakers.

#

I've been using my Klipsch KSW 10 subwoofer for a while now.

#

It was hooked up with a 3.5mm audio cable going into the L input of it.

#

So I brought the unpowered speakers (2 of them) home and plugged the speaker cable in for both of them in their respective slots under the sub's "SPEAKER IN" section.

#

However there's no sound coming from the speakers..?

#

So I'm guessing the IN in SPEAKER IN truly does mean speaker inputs. :/
I probably need to buy a separate amp.

#

Any recommendations for hooking up this whole mess?

#

(please @ me)

graceful jetty Mar 2, 2020, 3:10 PM

#

TLDR, I want to connect a Klipsch KSW 10 and two unpowered speakers (just speaker wire) to my PC, somehow. What do I need to do this?

#

The sub has two 3.5mm inputs for L and R, as well as four speaker wire inputs (L and R, + and -). Each of the two speakers has a + and - input for speaker wire.

#

But I'm pretty sure the Klipsch isn't an amplifier.

#

As the speaker cable jacks say "SPEAKER IN", and when connecting only to the L input (haven't bought the splitter yet), the speakers output nothing (while the sub does).

#

Because connecting the speakers to the sub' s SPEAKER IN ports doesn't feed the speakers anything.

Hey guys. Just curious, I'm about to purchase my first gaming pc ever and It just occurred to me. Short of running ethernet all the way through my house..how do I get wired internet in my bedroom? There is a CoAx post in here if that helps

young vine Mar 8, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

you would have to run the wires though out the house

#

really no way around it.

#

depending on your internet speed, WiFi is a good choice.

I get a little over 500mbps on my wifi

I know this isn't exactly a peripheral question but it IS related... I'm trying to run 2x Elgato Cam Link 4K USB 3.0 video capture devices. Elgato says each device needs it's own, independent USB 3.0 Root Hub, but my PC only has one. Am I able to add an additional Root Hub by installing a PCI USB 3.0 card, or is this dependent on the motherboard itself?

If it's mainly for gaming, look at the ATH-AD700x, they're known for their great positional audio.

They're open though, so sound bleeds and you can hear everything around you. Not sure if your mic would pick up on this since it's a cardioid microphone.

What mixer should I get for music production

#

@sharp fjord I had to ping you for this

#

From naed

sharp fjord Mar 24, 2020, 7:49 PM

#

I’ll have to get back to you when I get home but behringer is the brand I use. Can’t tell you what model just yet

flint maple Mar 24, 2020, 7:49 PM

#

Is it good?

#

Than il just check what it is and if it’s easy to use

sharp fjord Mar 24, 2020, 7:52 PM

#

There’s multiple mixers by them

#

The one I use has a built in usb interface

#

This is the one I have which is good and cheap and the built in interface is nice

Behringer Xenyx Q802USB Premium 8-Input 2-Bus Mixer with USB/Audio Interface,Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008O517IC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_LuMEEbGG01WC8

#

But it depends on what you need. This one is kind of basic

west hornet Mar 24, 2020, 11:53 PM

behringer has good budget audio equipment

merry sundial Mar 25, 2020, 12:45 AM

#

They really do - emphasis on budget though.

The UMC202HD/404HD as well as that Xynyx mixer are great options.
The mixer has some quirks, but there are youtube tutorials to help.

From what I've heard they're pretty good if you get a good pair but if not its Amazon so feel free to return them.

warm plaza Mar 28, 2020, 4:12 AM

#

aight i've got this curiosity about the razer ornata

#

so what with their mecha-membrane BS that they pulled, do you think the keycaps used modified stems, or standard membrane stems?

west hornet Mar 28, 2020, 4:15 AM

#

the actuation is just a normal membrane, there are mechanics in the key that make it seem a bit more like a mechanical switch

#

i am no pro tho

tight pulsar Mar 28, 2020, 4:25 AM

#

same as normal membrane stems

📎 20170401_210909-100719529-large.png

#

the only thing that makes it like a mechanical switch is the metal click jacket (or click bar idk which) that makes the clicky feel/sound, everything else is normal membrane

📎 screenshot_new34-100719530-large.png

warm plaza Mar 28, 2020, 6:05 AM

#

yes the leaf-spring

#

so technically if i was interested in that board, i could get full-height membrane caps and put em in?

#

and according to one in-depth reviewer, the leafspring is actually not responsible for any tactility, they just chose good rubber domes

I'm using the G230's.... I'd rather not... Mine are hanging by the gosh darn wire. And i refuse for Corsair Voids.

hard fable Apr 1, 2020, 3:49 AM

#

Reason why i decline the G230 and the line of the products that look exactly like it is because honestly to me they're just much more flimsy then they look.. :<

sharp fjord Apr 1, 2020, 4:42 AM

#

I mean I've been using the g430 for the last 8 years and its still working, however there is a short in my wire now but just gotta move it aroudn and it works lol. But thats still 8 years later. I also use a logitech G933 now but I don't use it for the wireless (lost the dongle) and it has a jack so you can just buy new wires for it, but it's more expensive

#

or maybe i have the g633 🤔

#

Iunno one of the artemis series

#

but the downsides are its kinda bulky, heavy, and tight on my head. you can get used to it fast but its not as easy to get used to as most others. maybe new versions fixed that though

Hello! I’m looking for a chair for my setup but I’m looking for recommendations since I see way too many options. My budget is around $350-$400 but I’d prefer if it’s lower as long as it’s as good as a $400 option

#

I’m considering the Secretlab Omega but I’m not sure if I want a “gaming” chair, although it looks pretty good

sharp fjord Apr 1, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

im not super knowledgeable on chairs but the gaming chairs are pretty comfortable

broken shell Apr 1, 2020, 6:47 PM

#

@viral canopy i got a chair that I use by Serta that's pretty similar to this one although the exact one i got was only around $200 and its pretty comfotrable and holds up pretty well. i figured i would through in an option that wasn't a "gaming" chair since most people probably look for those but Serta makes some pretty comfortable stuff, i think they even have some with memory foam in it

amber oracle Apr 1, 2020, 7:05 PM

#

@viral canopy with that budget, when the world re-opens, go and visit your local office supply place

#

and have a look at actual chairs

viral canopy Apr 1, 2020, 7:11 PM

#

The ones at my local office supply store are very low quality, even the most expensive ones ($300)

amber oracle Apr 1, 2020, 7:11 PM

#

then do yourself (and your body) a favour and travel to a shop

#

because nothing beats actually trying out a chair first

viral canopy Apr 1, 2020, 7:11 PM

#

The gaming chairs cost around $200 but are the no brand type that you can get on Amazon for half the price.

#

Yeah, I’ll see where’s the closest one

amber oracle Apr 1, 2020, 7:12 PM

#

imo, i am yet to try any "gaming" chair that is actually good

viral canopy Apr 1, 2020, 7:13 PM

#

Well, one of the reasons I’m considering the Omega is because it apparently has high quality synthetic leather, and with a 5 year warranty I wouldn’t expect it to peel like the chairs I’ve tried

amber oracle Apr 1, 2020, 7:14 PM

#

do they have a "try for x days and then return if you dont like it" policy?

viral canopy Apr 1, 2020, 7:14 PM

#

Good question, I’ll go check that

#

They do, 49 days, no restocking fee, but I’d pay shipping

amber oracle Apr 1, 2020, 7:16 PM

#

what is the shipping fee?

#

because i have seen some fairly silly fees added on there

viral canopy Apr 1, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

I’d have to buy a label myself, I’d imagine at least $30 for a package that size

amber oracle Apr 1, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

"we only accept returns if it is done through OUR transport company, that btw charges you about twice the value of the product"

#

it is something i would strongly advise you to get in contact with them about :)

#

just so you dont end up with a big fee for no reason

viral canopy Apr 1, 2020, 7:19 PM

#

Yeah, I’ll check that out, from what I’m reading in the return policy they don’t care how I ship it as long as I give them a tracking number, send it in the original packaging, and it doesn’t get damaged in shipping

amber oracle Apr 1, 2020, 7:20 PM

#

piece of advice (that counts for anything you ever return to any company): Take a photos, preferably a video of you packing and taping the box up for shipping.

#

simply so you can prove that you have done due dilligence

@hard fable I’ve tried many gaming headsets, HyperX Cloud II, Cloud Alpha, Cloud Stinger, Razer Nari Ultimate, Arctis 3, Corsair HS60. The best have been the HyperX Cloud II and Alpha

#

The Alpha is a bit better than the Cloud II

viral canopy Apr 1, 2020, 7:57 PM

#

Yeah, AFAIK all HyperX headsets have that feature except the Stinger

#

The Alpha is a bit more comfortable than the Cloud II, and has slightly better sound quality

#

But the Cloud II comes with a USB Surround Sound card, and both velour and leather earpads

Will a 60hz monitor bottleneck a system that pushes 100-130fps?

Kinda

daring zenith Apr 2, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

wdym bottleneck

west hornet Apr 2, 2020, 3:57 PM

#

mic position also can help if you get a lot of clicking.

#

also a 60hz monitor with 100-130 fps is a bottleneck. a 120hz or 144hz panel would be nice with those frames

#

it's not quite as bad as a cpu bottleneck unless you got like a 2080 with a 60hz panel lol

daring zenith Apr 2, 2020, 4:22 PM

#

it doesn't bottleneck your performance

amber oracle Apr 2, 2020, 4:24 PM

#

"also a 60hz monitor with 100-130 fps is a bottleneck." @west hornet what kind of silly is that?

daring zenith Apr 2, 2020, 4:25 PM

#

but it affects how you can benefit from your performance

little crater Apr 2, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

why bother building a system that can push more than 60 fps if you arent using them

west hornet Apr 2, 2020, 4:37 PM

#

technically if you have over 60fps and you can only see 60fps of it, it's a fraction of the real frames you are getting

#

It's not the same as a cpu or gpu bottleneck but it is still a bottleneck

#

visually

#

most people will not care if gaming is not a priority

#

there will always be something to bottleneck your system and part of it can be related to the peripherals

daring zenith Apr 2, 2020, 4:39 PM

#

technically you can say my keyboard is somehow a bottleneck

#

maybe its not ergonomic or smth

#

I don't like calling it a bottleneck

west hornet Apr 2, 2020, 4:40 PM

#

it would be latency related

daring zenith Apr 2, 2020, 4:41 PM

#

I have a 30$ keyboard paired with some really expensive stuff

west hornet Apr 2, 2020, 4:41 PM

#

in peripherals it will not be a direct performance bottleneck but more related to how the game feels/looks

#

price does not always matter, depends on the board and mechanical vs membrane vs optical

Hello all, I have someone looking to buy a headset. His budget is 150, but can push up a bit if there is a good one. He wears glasses so comfort is a huge deal. He also has small children so build quality is a big concern as well as they can get ahold of them. Audio and mic quality isnt as big of a deal, as long as they are decent.

amber oracle Apr 6, 2020, 11:01 PM

#

@warm scroll at that budget, does it have to be a combined headset?

warm scroll Apr 6, 2020, 11:04 PM

#

Well a mic is a requirement, and a separate mic like a blue yeti or something is definately a no, but if you have a good mic like a modmic or something that could be considered

amber oracle Apr 6, 2020, 11:05 PM

#

reason i ask is, at that budget, actually good headphones are easily within budget

#

and the gaming headset at that budget cannot hold a candle in sound quality to that

#

it all comes back around to what he values

#

and how he values it

warm scroll Apr 6, 2020, 11:06 PM

#

Well that's what we thought but everything we've looked at has had flaws, or may be just okay but not worth the price, so we are still looking

amber oracle Apr 6, 2020, 11:07 PM

#

you have been looking at gaming headsets right?

but as far as sound quality and build quality goes

#

yeah :)

warm scroll Apr 6, 2020, 11:11 PM

#

Well do you know of any good mics that can be attached for like $30?

amber oracle Apr 6, 2020, 11:11 PM

#

short answer is: not without having a google for it

warm scroll Apr 6, 2020, 11:12 PM

#

Hmm

amber oracle Apr 6, 2020, 11:12 PM

#

also

#

another thing to keep in mind

#

IF he is going for headphones in that budget range, i would strongly recommend going and having a visit at a music shop (when the world wasnt in a quarantine that is)

#

simply to have a listen with the headphones in question

#

because at that budget, you are dealing with headphones that have a distinct "profile"

#

and that is before we even come to stuff like the actual "fit" of the model in question

warm scroll Apr 6, 2020, 11:14 PM

#

Well the problem is that it is, and he is looking to buy in the near future

amber oracle Apr 6, 2020, 11:14 PM

#

aye, i am mentioning the above so you have some context for what i am saying :)

#

my own daily drivers are the 990 dt pro

#

because i prefer the semi-open cans

#

the amount of pressure i feel on my ears with something like the 770's is not comfortable for me at all

#

because they isolate "that" well

warm scroll Apr 6, 2020, 11:16 PM

#

Hmm and that's an issue as well, because he wears glasses having pressure will have that discomfort magnified

#

At least I think

amber oracle Apr 6, 2020, 11:16 PM

#

its not the physical push of the headphones

#

its the sound pressure

warm scroll Apr 6, 2020, 11:17 PM

#

Oh

amber oracle Apr 6, 2020, 11:17 PM

#

as for the physical "fit"

#

for me, i can wear either of the 770/990's for hours without that being a problem

#

as long as there is no sound playing in the 770's that is

#

:)

#

the modmic uni is 50usd

warm scroll Apr 6, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

Hmm

#

Is there like a slightly downgraded 770 that's a bit cheaper so the modmic fits in the budget better?

amber oracle Apr 6, 2020, 11:28 PM

Oh and those are the 990s, which I imagine are better because bigger number

amber oracle Apr 6, 2020, 11:30 PM

they are fully open

#

not better as such

warm scroll Apr 6, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

Oh ok

#

So just different

amber oracle Apr 6, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

fully open = the back of the cans themselves lets sound out and in

#

the practical effect is that the soundstage is VERY big in them

#

the 880's are semi-open

#

and the 770 are closed

Also @amber oracle how would open headphones work with a mic? Would the mic pick up the audio or do you think it would be fine?

amber oracle Apr 7, 2020, 12:13 AM

#

its not "open" to that extent

#

but, i can imagine that IF you had a mic that could bend up and be close to the can itself

#

it might pickup something

#

might

#

remember, the 990's are meant for studio use

#

meaning, mic in front of you if anywhere

@amber oracle Just an update, he just got the 770s. He hasnt had a chance to wear them extensively yet but says they are super comfortable and have amazing sound quality on first impressions. Ill let you know how he likes them after prolonged use

#

He's not an audiophile but says they have the best sound hes ever heard in headsets

#

Also he has yet to test the modmic, but ill update you on that as well

amber oracle Apr 11, 2020, 7:59 AM

#

@warm scroll good to hear :)

#

do remember to tell him to NOT use the front mini jacks on his case

warm scroll Apr 11, 2020, 11:54 AM

#

Well the problem is that the cord isnt long enough to reach behind, is it worth it to get an extender or something

amber oracle Apr 11, 2020, 11:55 AM

#

i would say yes

#

but he might have a decent enough connection

#

and/or he might not notice the sound difference

#

its a multitude of things really

#

in no particular order

#

level of hearing

#

susceptibility to small amounts of random noise

#

type of music/content he listens to

#

those are the main ones that are decided directly by him

#

then there is the always "fun" one of: Quality of the front panel connector on his specific mainboard + case combo

#

A way to test it is to turn the machine for a bit and have it reach

#

if he doesnt notice a difference, then just smile and nod

#

i hope that makes some kind of sense @warm scroll

warm scroll Apr 11, 2020, 12:01 PM

Yeah thanks for the advice. I didnt think about that bit I'll have him give it a shot

Eyo. I think this is the right place to post this.
I'm looking to get a mic that I can have sitting on my desk but directly behind my desk is a brick wall. I do not have the option of being able to put up acoustic sound panel things and was wondering if there are any mics around that I could use which help avoiding echo and such things if any of that makes sense.
I currently use a mic linked with my hyper X headset which is just terrible and really want to change it up a bit

And of course that Rosewill keyboard I was looking at went out of stock

arctic fjord Apr 18, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

desk speakers.

leaden tiger Apr 18, 2020, 10:30 PM

#

heres some speakers; AudioEngine HD3 for your wireless fix, Edifier E25 Luna Eclipse for a two speaker simple setup, Logitech Z623 entry level price (might have to download an EQ to get rid of a little bass) and finally, Logitech Z200 computer speakers because they are $23 and i have no idea what your price range is.

#

for a lot of decent desk speakers the subwoofer is a separate box that goes on the floor, so if u want desk only the luna delivers on that front

#

these are common recommendations, but as always when your spending money on tech dont let me spend your money, do a little research on your own to find what really fits your needs because you know them best
