IF you can deal with the sound scape they make, they are very good

#

they are after all, my daily drivers

last plinth
#

ok

#

gonna def be a upgrade from my old headphones tho

#

25$ to 150$

high fulcrum
#

😍custom keyboards

tight pulsar
#

ROFLEgg lmao the pcb is too flexy and shorts the board out if u press down hard

gusty magnet
#

i need opinions for my first custom keeb, browns vs blues

cunning hearth
#

wut r u gonna use the keyboard for

gusty magnet
#

gaming typing, basically everyday use

#

but mostly gaming

cunning hearth
#

if its gaming then dont get blues

#

browns r ok for gaming and typing

#

if u want only gaming id reccommend reds or silvers

gusty magnet
#

the one issue i have with the browns is supposedly theres not much click

#

otherwise i wouldnt have had this hard decision

cunning hearth
#

for gaming u dont want click

#

u dont use clicky switches for gaming

#

linear is better

gusty magnet
#

so browns for everyday use

#

do you know how the sound compares to something like the g213

proper sphinx
#

Get reds or browns

tight pulsar
#

if ur gonna get a custom i would highly encourage looking at other switches than just gateron/cherry red and browns

gusty magnet
#

@tight pulsar its my first time so i want to stick with known reliable cheap ones

#

maybe when i do a few custom builds and get some more money i might try novel zealios stuff like that

tight pulsar
#

eh theyre all equally reliable, but theyre a little more expensive

#

for linears jwk are like .55 a switch and gateron milky yellows are really good and cheap

gusty magnet
#

i want to get a tactile first just so i can see what the bump feels like as i think most people like them more

#

for my first "build" im getting
GK61xs
Gateron blues or browns
permatex dieeletric lube
NPKC top printed keyset

daring zenith
#

Nachos hates browns for being scratchy reds so

#

@tight pulsar was that comment for cherry browns or all browns

tight pulsar
#

cherry

#

the rest are slightly better

wintry bramble
#

if im streaming

#

and i have speakers

#

will my viewers hear the audio twice?

#

like in the background of my voice

#

i don't have it yet but im considering getting speakers instead of headphones

#

cause headphones on too long make my head hurt like hell

little crater
#

i think it depends on the mic and the software running the mic

wintry bramble
#

elgato wave 3 is what im thinking mic wise

little crater
#

im not super familiar with this, but i do know there are some mics that auto cancel out noise coming from the speakers

wintry bramble
#

oh

little crater
#

i doubt someone here is just gonna know the answer, you might have to do some googling around

#

its not a very common issue

#

what about bluetooth earbuds?

wintry bramble
#

i despise earbuds

#

with a passion

little crater
#

get a usb bluetooth module for your pc and a pair of sony wf-100xm3s

#

just a thought, it would solve your problem

#

it would be nice if you could find a pair of headphones that doesnt put too much pressure on your head

wintry bramble
#

it's not te pressure

#

it's just sitting there with headphones on for like 4 hours doesn't seem too healthy and it makes my head just hurt

little crater
#

huh, what headphones are you using now?

wintry bramble
#

none

#

lmao

little crater
#

then how do you know it will be uncomfortable?

wintry bramble
#

i used to use skull candy ones but they broke in like 2 months

little crater
#

well, skull candy sucks

#

so

wintry bramble
#

yeah i can tell

#

i might try some other headphones

little crater
#

if you get proper headphones, something from sony, sennheiser, beyerdynamic, bose, or audiotechnica, I doubt you would find them uncomfortable

wintry bramble
#

k

#

i was thinking the artic pro

#

the basic one

little crater
#

arctis?

#

or arctic

wintry bramble
#

steelseries

little crater
#

ok, arctis

wintry bramble
#

lol, grammar+100

little crater
#

those dont look bad

wintry bramble
#

yeah my fav small streamer uses them i think

#

and he says they're comfortable

#

ookk

#

last thing

little crater
#

would you rather have a desktop mic tho?

wintry bramble
#

i use my right hand for my keyboard when gaming

#

desktop mic?

#

idk what that is

little crater
#

like, a standalone one

#

one that sits on your desktop

wintry bramble
#

like the elgato wave 3?

little crater
#

yeah

wintry bramble
#

yeah

#

i am

#

i "will"

little crater
#

you should get a headset without a mic

wintry bramble
#

ook

little crater
#

so you dont have to pay for features you dont need, and so the extra mic interface doesnt mess things up constantly

#

this

wintry bramble
#

hm

#

ook

#

here's the thing im not in a rush so if there's any technologic issues i can always ask the streamer i told ya about, about it

#

cause he uses the arctis pro and an outside miic

#

mic*

little crater
#

yeah, but windows is always unpredictable

wintry bramble
#

true

little crater
#

and why bother when you could just get this better headset for cheaper

#

looks cooler and more comfortable imo

wintry bramble
#

hmm

#

i'll think about it

#

thx alot!!

little crater
#

np

last plinth
#

Imma get cherry mx blues

wintry bramble
#

same

#

i love blues

proper sphinx
#

Uh oh

#

Cherry blues bad

#

My personal preference tho

#

Nothing wrong just like other blue switches

hey, I want to find a new wireless headset. I mentioned in storage-devices on a branch of another topic that I like sennheiser but it is not my be all end all. I don't want any audio delay, quality mic, and the two biggest problems of my current the corsair void pro is they are not comfortable the foam up top is wearing and tearing off the band, a bit heavy, cut in and out sometimes.

I was looking at arctis lines, bose, and sennheiser. But I am open to other suggestions.

proper sphinx
#

Arctis 7

amber oracle
#

@brisk parcel you around? if you are, could you help @left current ?

jovial hound
#

Do you guys have any mouse suggestions?

amber oracle
#

g502

proper sphinx
#

@left current Corsair virtuoso is pretty good

#

@jovial hound depends on handsize and grip

left current
#

i like my new glorious gaming model d

jovial hound
#

I have a pretty normal size hands

proper sphinx
#

Yea but like exact measurements

jovial hound
#

Oh I don't know that lol

proper sphinx
#

Ok but normal for an adult?

jovial hound
#

I'm 17

amber oracle
#

@left current what budget are you looking at for a headset?

#

and must it be headset or is headphones with standalone mic okay?

gusty magnet
#

Apex 7 TKL vs GK61xs with gateron browns?

daring zenith
#

(Headsets mean Headphones+Mic together in one)

proper sphinx
#

@jovial hound ok how about grip style

left current
#

150

amber oracle
#

usd?

left current
#

yes

amber oracle
#

what about the headset/headphone question?

jovial hound
#

I'm not really sure what you mean by that ice doge?

proper sphinx
#

Palm, claw or f-tip

gusty magnet
#

palm grip op

left current
#

how many buttons as well? what type of games?

jovial hound
#

Claw

little crater
#

im none of those peepoSadSip

jovial hound
#

Hey Naed, I know this isn't my question but for the headphones one do you have any headphones recommendation ?

proper sphinx
#

@jovial hound mm711 or xm1

amber oracle
#

@little crater well, to be fair, you are also a fish ... so .. that is expected

jovial hound
#

Thank you let me look it up

proper sphinx
#

@gusty magnet hand size?

little crater
#

@little crater well, to be fair, you are also a fish ... so .. that is expected
@amber oracle this is true

gusty magnet
#

i would say my hand is a decent size seeing how it can cover a whole ass g502

last plinth
#

my hand could cover a steelseries rival 3 if i palm grip

daring zenith
#

@left current Hey, can you answer the question on if you need the mic integrated on the headphones for a headset?

amber oracle
#

@jovial hound dt770/880/990 <- i daily drive the 990 Pro's myself. BUT, they are quirky in their sound scape, as in, they can sound "weird" if you are not used to a neutral sound scape

little crater
#

its weird ik

last plinth
#

its not

gusty magnet
#

Apex 7 TKL vs GK61xs with gateron browns?

left current
#

@daring zenith yeah sorry, I can't at Naed he doesn't pop up with I start typing it. I would prefer the headset to have a mic and be wireless at $150 usd. My apologies, have someone in another discord talking to me about a game as well.

daring zenith
#

Wireless is going to be interesting to find...

last plinth
#

Audiot technica ones

left current
#

Someone mentioned arctis 7 which has good reviews.

last plinth
#

X58 i think

proper sphinx
#

@gusty magnet if your saying optical brown then yes

jovial hound
#

Thanks Naed, but what do you mean by neutral a soundscape?

amber oracle
#

i should pop up just fine @left current

daring zenith
#

I'd still suggest you look at the wired PC37x

#

@amber oracle discord likes being screwy with @ people in large discords

gusty magnet
#

nah im just asking should i get the apex 7 tkl or build a custom gk61xs

proper sphinx
#

@gusty magnet gk61 with optical brown

left current
#

@amber oracle yeah my fault i was putting e before a. tricking my simple mind.

gusty magnet
#

ok

last plinth
#

If u wanna spend extra

#

really good wireless ones

amber oracle
#

@jovial hound the simplest is to search for 990 here in this channel, we (people here) have talked about them a fair deal :)

daring zenith
#

Naed you got anything for a 150$ wireless headset?

jovial hound
#

Alright will do thank you

daring zenith
#

I'm still gonna suggest you look at the wired 120$ PC37x

amber oracle
#

and you will also stumble upon walls of text from @brisk parcel about HD58x and others

#

which will also be of interest to you :)

tacit wing
#

LMAO i can confirm

jovial hound
#

kk!

last plinth
amber oracle
#

have you actually tried those yourself @last plinth ?

daring zenith
#

@last plinth they want a headset, no mic on that.

last plinth
#

oh

#

:P

amber oracle
#

and as for 150 usd wireless headset ... no clue tbh @daring zenith

last plinth
#

no but someone recommend to me

daring zenith
#

aw

#

Maybe sennheiser ninja is around here somewhere

left current
#

i can probably go a little higher

amber oracle
#

dont just "mirror" a recommendation without having knowledge @last plinth

tight pulsar
#

ping him enough

tacit wing
#

Cloud Flights are based on Takstar 82's so i suggest that. good DSP on those

left current
#

i am saving on my nvme now lol

#

my total budget is 400 but that includes the nvme, cyberpunk, and the headset. plus tax ect

tacit wing
#

nvme ssd?

left current
#

yeah I think I am getting the wd_black is on sale for 62. then cyberpunk is 60 plus tax so that is already around 130 ish... then I have some other small things I need to get.

#

so I can probably go up to 180 on headset

last plinth
#

Turtle beach stealth 600

proper sphinx
#

@last plinth stealth 600 sucks

last plinth
#

ok

proper sphinx
#

From experience

#

I have them for my Xbox and they are uncomfortable

last plinth
#

for person that wants wireless

proper sphinx
#

A50’s are good but overpriced

tacit wing
#

as far as "gaming" headsets go the only brands i can recommend are Cooler Master and HyperX because their cans are actually derived from real monitoring cans, they don't make them in house

proper sphinx
#

Would recommend an arctis 7 or a cloud flight s

amber oracle
#

@left current a recommendation would be to wait for @brisk parcel to have time to respond :)

tacit wing
#

like the Cloud Alphas are literally Takstar 82 with HyperX coat of paint on it

left current
#

@amber oracle sounds good, thank you for your help

amber oracle
#

because most of the solutions i have in mind are out of your budget by a fair deal

jovial hound
#

Wow I just read Sennheiser and this Rex guy argue lol

#

That was intresting

proper sphinx
#

What channel

jovial hound
#

This one

#

I was like weeks ago

proper sphinx
#

Oh

#

Ok

jovial hound
#

21 of last month

#

Bruh how long did you have to scroll up for that

jovial hound
#

Just search

amber oracle
#

ctrl+f is your friend @proper sphinx

jovial hound

lol

proper sphinx
#

On mobile tho sucks

amber oracle
#

well, that is your challenge to have fun with :)

jovial hound
#

It was trash on phone, but they just fixed it

#

Naed do you have any suggestions on mouse pads? besides buttering and lubing your desk?

last plinth
#

How do u oc cpu just change volt?

amber oracle
#

@jovial hound you certain about the date on that one btw?

jovial hound
#

On which one?

amber oracle
#

the debate between Ice and Senn

tacit wing
#

Artisan pads are endgame

jovial hound
#

Oh yeah it was the 21st of september

proper sphinx
#

X-ray pads

tacit wing
#

resistant to humidity and temperature changes. glide will stay in tact

#

i like xray pads Aqua Control

#

pretty similar glide to a QcK or Zero

proper sphinx
#

Qck is good on a budget

amber oracle
#

and yes, that was a "fun" debate @jovial hound and yes, i was personally not remotely serious at that point in time :)

jovial hound
#

Oh ok lmao

tight pulsar
#

picking deskpads because they look cool > picking one because it is .01% smoother :v

tacit wing
#

the thing i love about the QcK is that it has no coating and you can pretty somehow renew the glide by washing it

#

kinda like a GSR

amber oracle
#

as for pads, custom neoprene ones are imo a sensible thing to do

tacit wing
#

my GSR-SE coating is slowly wearing off sadpepe

jovial hound
#

Custom neoprene?

amber oracle
tacit wing
#

picking deskpads because they look cool > picking one because it is .01% smoother :v
@tight pulsar i like deskpads but i like to feel my wooden desk on my left arm for some reason

tight pulsar
#

:( naed those are expensive for us muricans

jovial hound
#

^

tacit wing
#

inked pads can do custom ones with any image of your choice

#

similar glide to GSR-SE or Minerva

proper sphinx
#

@tacit wing xraypad does that too

#

I got mine from them

tight pulsar
#

okay stupid question but couldnt u just buy a sheet of neoprene and cut it out

tacit wing
#

xraypad be cloning all the gaming pads out there lol

#

I got mine from them
@proper sphinx you got the minerva?

#

honestly if i could get my hands on a Artisan Hien or Zero, thats probably it

little crater
proper sphinx
#

@tacit wing xraypad aqua control

tacit wing
#

@tacit wing xraypad aqua control
@proper sphinx hows the glide if you can compare it to something?

proper sphinx
#

Can’t really compare it to anything other than some cheap Chinese pad that I had from like 5 years ago

#

But you can look on r/mousepadreview to see stuff on it

calm cobalt
#

Are hyper x keyboards good?

proper sphinx
#

Depends on which one

calm cobalt
#

Hmm

#

Hold on I saw one I forgot what it was called gimme a few

amber oracle
#

@tight pulsar obviously the link is from a site i have used, there should be comparable sites in the US

tacit wing
#

well i have the TKL version of that keeb lol

proper sphinx
#

The tkl is good

amber oracle
#

and yes @tight pulsar you could just get a sheet or neoprene and cut it, problem is the normal sizes they come in. Doubt you need 10 meters of it :)

tacit wing
#

their Aqua switches are comparable to Browns, but Browns feel more linear to me

proper sphinx
#

The normal I don’t like full size keyboards so don’t ask me

tight pulsar
#

lol yeah i was thinking more or the 15x60 sheets on amazon for like 15

calm cobalt
#

Lol and I prefer full sizes

tacit wing
#

i am happy with mine for the price i paid, my only complaint is that they put their usb-c on the right side of the keeb

#

pretty odd design choice

amber oracle
#

that reminds me, @tight pulsar you like chiptunes?

tight pulsar
#

the music stuff?

amber oracle
#

aye

#

the "style/genre"

tight pulsar
#

im not a diehard fan of it but its alright

tight pulsar
#

i do indeed see its a playlist

amber oracle
#

side note:

#

the original Giana Sisters Theme

calm cobalt
#

Are 60% mechanical keyboards good? Or is it just preference?

amber oracle
tacit wing
#

preference as in you dont need function keys and a numpad yes

tight pulsar
#

lol what do u mean by good

#

layouts are entirely personal opinions, depends on what you need and how much desk space you want

calm cobalt
#

What's an good rgb 60% mechanical keyboard?

#

Under $100 if possible idk if it is

proper sphinx
#

@calm cobalt gk61

#

Or snow fox 61

tacit wing
#

durgod venus i vouch

#

also GMMK compact

proper sphinx

Sometimes a ducky or an Anne pro 2 come under 100

oops not 100

Didn’t the dirties have some problems

2 weeks

#

how you like the 58Xs?

tacit wing
#

ok well ive used close-back headphones my entire life and it was so weird putting on a pair of headphones and still be able to hear everything

#

that was my first impression

#

but in terms of sound, it does hit different, i have completely converted to open-backs

#

my M40x's soundstages well but the imaging on open-backs a whole nother level

brisk parcel
#

well if you want a little advice on that soudstage bit

#

in a month, remove the foal

#

foam*

tacit wing
#

yup, most likely doing that mod after i indulge in a bit

#

also id point out that open-backs, atleast these Sennheisers, are less fatiguing to your ears after long sessions of music listening

#

i had them on all day yesterday and its like, not tiring? if that makes sense

#

i couldnt go hours on end on my M40s

amber oracle
#

@tacit wing what kind of music do you like?

#

and yes, the "using them all day and not having cooked ears" is the main reason i strongly prefer open headphones

west hornet
#

Oo tubes nice

tacit wing
#

i mostly listen to rock, shoegaze, ambient, electronic, future bass, grimecore, neo-soul and hip-hop. my ears are open to anything pretty much

where do you all typically get your flacs from?

altho i wouldnt mind paying for some, i dont want to dump too much money into music files

well some comes from a closet of cds kekw

tight pulsar

ghost has some sketchy site i use

i think i need a blind listening test to see what flac is all about

and a better dac aPES_Leave

little crater
#

flac doesnt magically increase the quality of your music

west hornet

lossless people get very controversial about whether you can hear difference or not

little crater

i couldnt tell the difference between spotify and a much higher quality flac on bluetooth, so i plan to retest once i get my new headphones

amber oracle
#

@tacit wing i generally just dump my discs into flacs, because why not.

little crater
#

then i will see if its important to me or not

west hornet

bluetooth does have limitations and packet loss

i would love to keep using spotify because all 600 of my songs are right there lmao

amber oracle

i like music :)

daring zenith
#

Why not both

west hornet
#

i never really liked music, most of what was played on radio i didn't like and just saw as overplayed. i only got into it from games, geo dash i started in elem school and i loved how peaceful the songs from alto's adventure were

speaking of games, i never played Minecraft but Volume Alpha by C418 is a 10/10 for me

Good afternoon everyone. I am just built my desktop with an Asus Tuf Gaming Z490-Plus. I am not sure how to deal with both Wifi and bluetooth than I need.
What do you recommend ? External antenna ?
@river frost network card that has both wifi and bluetooth

#

i have a TP Link card on the family computer for years

river frost
#

Actually, the Z490 already comes with a wifi / bluetooth adapter

tacit wing
#

oh are u having trouble with the on-board solution?

river frost
#

not really, but I am not sure about which antenna I should pick

daring zenith
#

@river frost if it had onboard wifi, it came with antennas, look through the motherboard box

west hornet
#

some mobo have a wifi and non wifi version

#

if not wifi, you can get a pcie card

river frost
#

it's a wifi one, but didn't get the antenna in the mobo box

thats oddly strange

@river frost the name of that model is: TUF GAMING Z490-PLUS (WI-FI)

contact the seller

should unless it was used, open box maybe

amber oracle
daring zenith

@river frost dig through again

They can be in weird places

you can see the antenna in the picture of the box contents

west hornet

some boxes have flaps you have to open it could be hiding in

I remember when it took me 10min to figure out there was thermal paste that came with my nh d15

@daring zenith lol it took me like 5 minutes to figure out how to get the second screw on my cooler on

@tight pulsar it took me more than an hour with at least 4 re-mounts to get my cooler on

i didnt realize there was a hole for it i thought u needed like some funky 90* screwdriver so something

@amber oracle can you help me please

@calm cobalt just ask ur question somebody can answer it

daring zenith
#

I want lubed switches now

tacit wing
#

i wish i had the patience to be a keyboard enthusiast

#

lubing looks like a chore

#

but my wallet is thankful that im not

little crater
#

i put dental floss inside each of my keyboard springs lmao

#

that was like 2 hrs of work

tight pulsar
#

for some reason that cardboard makes everything like 10x thoccier those things sound hella deep in the video

#

@tacit wing heres a secret about lubing ||u can just pay somebody like $30 and theyll do it for u||

last plinth
#

takes the fun out of doing it tho

#

why i want to build my pc and not get prebuilt

tight pulsar
#

lol theres nothing fun about lubing unless u like doing the same thing for 3 hours straight

tacit wing
#

oh i find soldering kinda fun, idk about lubing tho

#

yup thats what i figured

tight pulsar
#

soldering and actually building it is fun but i dont know a single person who likes lubing switches

amber oracle
#

ehh

tacit wing
#

thats what i figured when KBDfans assembled KBD75v2 units dont offer lubed switches

amber oracle
#

no comment

last plinth
#

yea but at least ur occupied with something

amber oracle
#

looks at his inline bearing collection .... nope, that is totally not something i enjoy lubing

tight pulsar
#

lol naed what part of that

amber oracle
#

for the type of bearings i have for my skates, its normal to do a lot of maintenance on them

#

bearings for a pair of skates is about 150 usd

tight pulsar
#

okay fine

#

i know a single person who enjoys lubing something

tacit wing
#

lubing is satisfying in most cases, but in the application of keyboard switches where you to take it part, lube and put it back in again and do it with the amount of switches u got on your keeb, its kinda like youre working on an assembly line ASpepeFists

amber oracle
#

yes, but how often do you actually need to do it @tacit wing ?

#

because in season, i lube the bearings about every 2 weeks

#

and yes, i know, the reason i dont mind, is that i have basically brainwashed myself to NOT care anymore

#

trust me, i complained a LOT in the start

tacit wing
#

fortunately for me, i dont have a hobby that requires lubing for maintenance

timid hound
#

i asked like a couple times before and they were all over the price, but whats a good mouse for about 30 bucks

tacit wing
#

i asked like a couple times before and they were all over the price, but whats a good mouse for about 30 bucks
@timid hound g203

#

i believe the previous model u can get around 30

calm cobalt
#

ima get the g pro wireless does anyone have it?

daring zenith
#

Gpw is a good mouse, not worth 150$.

#

Wait for wireless model o if possible

calm cobalt
#

its $129.99 rn

tacit wing
#

GPW omron switches are notorious for double-clicking

daring zenith
#

Not worth

#

If it's like 80$ it's more like it

tacit wing
#

u sure you dont want to wait till the new one comes out?

daring zenith
#

Oh yea right new gpw too

tacit wing
#

any mouse is worth it if the shape is for you

calm cobalt
#

me personally i dont like glorious especially 1st batch

tacit wing
#

Glorious is still unproven in wireless, id say wait for the reviews before ordering the new O wireless

calm cobalt
#

but to avoid double clicks would the razer viper ultimate be good or just wait

tacit wing
#

if you fingertip, Viper Ult is op

#

the shape is very optimized for Ftip

cyan basalt
#

I got my Glorious D today Hanksgasm

calm cobalt
#

i ftip lol

tacit wing
#

but it barely has a hump for Claw users

#

some people can manage tho

#

i ftip lol
@calm cobalt well perfect

calm cobalt
#

i might go rvu then

cyan basalt
#

Have you tried this?

calm cobalt
#

yes and its bad

cyan basalt
#

GPW was #1 for me, but I don't want the double-click drama

calm cobalt
#

i get nothing but razer mice

tacit wing
#

if your hand is under 18cm length dont get Viper Ult

#

get the mini instead

#

18cm or under

calm cobalt
#

my hand is like 17 or 17.5

#

might be to big for the mini idk

tacit wing
#

i think you can get away with the ultimate? but i generally prefer smaller mice

cyan basalt
#

I have fingertip grip and 20x12 cm I think

calm cobalt
#

ok

tacit wing
#

im 18x9 fingertip and Viper Mini is perfect for me

#

i want to try small ergo as well

#

like the Skoll Mini or D-

calm cobalt
#

would the razer huntsman mini or apex pro tkl be worth

#

or should i look at something else

tacit wing
#

i dont like the rattle on the Huntsman line :/

calm cobalt
#

yea its bad

tacit wing
#

but if you dont care about that their optical switches are super fast

#

is thats what youre looking for

calm cobalt
#

isnt there 2 types

#

i was looking at the clicky

#

but the linear didnt seem like a bad option either

tacit wing
#

i mean thats preference

#

i find clicky pretty obnoxious imo

calm cobalt
#

some clickys to me are horrible

#

cough cough (gat blues)

tacit wing
#

i prefer linears and tactiles

calm cobalt
#

mhm

#

i might go clicky if i dont like it ill get the other one

tacit wing
#

im pretty sure they have their purple clicky switches out for display at Best Buy

#

atleast my local one

calm cobalt
#

i cant go rn bc my parents are like really strict about covid and stuff

#

so ggs

proper sphinx
#

Sorry to barge into this convo but I would like to nominate an even worse clicky switch than the gat blues, cherry mx blues

tacit wing
calm cobalt
#

lol

tacit wing
#

the only clickys ive ever touched are Kailh Blues

tight pulsar
#

lol gateron blues are like infinitely better than mx blues

proper sphinx
#

Exactly

calm cobalt
#

whats y'all opinions on the apex pro tkl

proper sphinx
#

Seems too expensive especially with the useless lcd display

calm cobalt

the clicks sound nice imo

and i heard they were smooth

alright @left current

#

I know it's been quite some time

#

but, I have a few questions so we can narrow down your search

#

NAY, your Q U E S T

#

so, do you prefer open or closed back? any specific brands or open to new things? wired or wireless? do you prefer imaging(the position of the sound) or soundstage(how wide the sound feels)? do you prefer headphones to be warmer or more neutral, almost surgical?

#

if you can't answer some of those questions it's okay lmao

mmmm can't wait to get my tube amp and get these SEXY tubes in it

I don't have much in the way of wireless, most of the cans I've tried and can personally recommend are all wired unfortunately, though I do hear some talk of ATH wireless cans floating around, and I have tried a few of sennheiser's wireless cans but they're above your price range

#

I LIED

#

the 450BTs

#

almost forgot about these bad boys

#

but they're closed sadge

sadge i guess..

open back + wireless eh?

I must admit finding wireless open backs are harder

#

I haven't tried any myself

finding unicorns here

I know of a few but, I haven't tried any

now it would be possible to buy a wired can and a bluetooth adapter, those sell pretty cheap

lemme see if I can dig up something I've tried it

it's hard to remember*

who did u get it from?

any mouse pad and keyboard recommendations

cyan basalt

What kind of mouse pad surface? Slick or cloth?

calm cobalt

cloth

cyan basalt
#

wireless and open back headphones are gonna be pretty hard to find

#

Hmm, I know a lot of people get the steelseries mousepad

calm cobalt
#

is the xtrfy gp2 good?

cyan basalt
#

I've never heard of it, so I'm not sure.

calm cobalt
#

ok

#

might go g sr se

tacit wing
#

i love my GSR-SE

#

coating is wearing off tho

#

once the coating is off itll have the same glide as a GSR

calm cobalt
#

how long did you have it till it started wearing

tacit wing
#

half a year

#

im maining an Inked Gaming pad to replace it in the meantime

#

same glide as a GSR-SE

calm cobalt
#

bc i want to get a gsrse but i wanna get a more bigger pad

tacit wing
#

if you want an alternative i suggest X-Ray pad Minerva or Inked Gaming pad

#

u looking for a desk pad?

calm cobalt
#

no

tacit wing
#

?

calm cobalt
#

like something that will not be to small but not to big like in the middle

#

o wait

tacit wing
#

like an extended pad?

calm cobalt
#

ima get a inked gaming

tacit wing
#

lol

calm cobalt
#

and put the gsrse design on it

#

ez

tacit wing
#

18x16 inches is big enough for me and my sens is 61cm/360

tight pulsar
#

okay mousepad and deskmats are the same thing but deskmats are just usually bigger right

tacit wing
#

bruh theyre not gonna print out trademarked stuff for you lol

#

they will catch a case if they do that

calm cobalt
#

oof

@left current they're not too bad yeah, but there are definitely better options for your money spent

calm cobalt

i just dont know what to put on it

I'm sorry man but I need to get some rest, but I'll do my best tomorrow to look up whatever I can

calm cobalt

might just put no image on it lol

calm cobalt
#

tacit wing
#

as far as i know they can only print out like art or personal photos

calm cobalt
#

the viper mini has a underglow

tacit wing
#

but if you upload an image with any trademark stuff on it they cant print it

calm cobalt
#

never knew that lol

prime adder
#

anyone use the new mx518

tacit wing
#

i got the dented helmet one and sold it lol

calm cobalt
#

are the razer viper ultimate stock feet good if not what should i get

tacit wing
#

its good

prime adder
#

I used that one back in the day too

tacit wing
#

ptfe virgins all perform the same lol

#

different brands just vary in thickness

calm cobalt
#

nice

prime adder
#

then I've been using a G400 for years. so I thought switching to the new mx518 would be OK since it's the same shape and everything

calm cobalt
#

just need to find a keyboard now

prime adder
#

but it's giving me bad hand pain

#

I guess I gotta get used to it

calm cobalt
#

if your not comfortable then dont use it

#

if its giving you pains

tacit wing
#

the mx518 isnt comfortable for you???

prime adder
#

it feels fine. but after using it for a while I notice my pinky finger is hurting

tacit wing
#

how is it hurting as in is it dragging across your mousepad or is it bent in a way?

#

try the g703 or g403

prime adder
#

nah, it feels like a nerve or something. like carpal tunnel or something

tacit wing
#

keep your wrist straight

#

computer ergonomics is everything

#

it maybe the way you hold your mouse and how you sit behind your desk

prime adder
#

it's weird because it feels just like the G400. but the sensor is supposed to be better

#

it must be different enough that I'm holding it slightly differently or something

tacit wing
#

how do you hold it?

#

palm, claw, fingertip?

prime adder
#

I dunno really. I think it might be closer to palm

#

yeah, palm

#

definitely not those other two

tacit wing
#

what part of your hand hurts? just your pinky?

#

carpal tunnel is generally at the back of your wrist

#

or it may be RSI

prime adder
#

pinky and the pinky part of my palm. goes up my arm

calm cobalt
#

brb going to do keyboard research

tacit wing
#

whats your pinky look like when youre gripping your mouse?

prime adder
#

the tip is pretty far down on that side. almost touching the mousepad

#

sounds exactly like that. feels kinda like hitting your funny bone

tacit wing
#

try clawing your fingers maybe?

#

i mean if its just your pinky maybe try to change the positioning of your pinky and the rest stays the same

prime adder
#

yeah, maybe. that'll be hard to do though. since I've been using this shape of mouse for like 15 years now

#

it might be a coincidence, but it seems like it started right after switching mouses

tacit wing
#

oh yeah just a few mm off the shape of the mouse can make a huge difference

prime adder
#

I went back to the g400 for a couple days and I thought it was way better, but then it started hurting again

tacit wing
#

the MX518 and the G400 is probably not a 1:1 copy

prime adder
#

I'll try to get used to it. and if that doesnt work I'll just go back to the old one

tacit wing
#

that is oddly strange, after using a mouse for 15 years and it suddenly started cramping your fingers up

#

The G403 or G703 might be a mouse that MAY solve your problem. if youre willing to change shapes

prime adder
#

yeah, it's probably the subtle differences in the mouses that I haven't adjusted to yet. I can tell something is different because I'm not as good at games with it either

calm cobalt
#

would the razer huntsman mini be a better pick than the apex pro tkl

prime adder
#

I've read people talking about the lift off distance though. that might be part of it

tacit wing
#

i mean your sensor has no correlation with the pain in your hand im pretty sure

#

my 203 has a high LOD as well and it doesnt affect ergonomics

#

the best awper in the world for CSGO, KennyS uses a MX518 so its definitely viable for fps games

prime adder
#

nice

sharp kindle
#

@calm cobalt huntsman mini is a scam

#

overpriced

#

get something like a glorious gmmk instead

#

it has hotswap and less case ping

iron vale

Mx518 used to be the mouse to have in competitive CS

gusty magnet

Does anyone know about monitors?

daring zenith
#

@gusty magnet what u need to know

gusty magnet
#

@daring zenith Optix G271 vs Optix G27C5 vs LG 32GN50T-B.AUS

#

they are all $200-$230usd

daring zenith
#

why such large 1080p monitors?

gusty magnet
#

Arent they all 27in?

daring zenith
#

27in 27in and 32in

#

24in is optimal for 1080p

#

16:9 1080p that is

#

uw is different

gusty magnet
#

27in is fine though right?

daring zenith
#

it's not as good as 24in

#

24in is optimal for the pixel density

#

if you sit normal distance from the monitor

gusty magnet
#

I sit like 2ish feet back

daring zenith
#

eh

#

I can't estimate distance well

gusty magnet
#

If you take like 2-3 steps forward it’s probably about 2 feet

daring zenith
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

anyways for me it's either 24in 1080p or 27in 1440p

#

I'm opposed to others :P

gusty magnet
#

I only have a 1060 6gb so 1440p wouldnt go to well @daring zenith

#

I've got AT m30s and Shure SE425s

tacit wing
#

i just dropped my Drop HD58x

#

27in is fine though right?
@gusty magnet i have a 27'' 1080p monitor and i can play competitive CS on it no problem but i prefer a 24" for better eye mechanics, eyes shooting from crosshair, to radar, to checking ammo etc. on a 24" your eyes travel less

#

im speaking from a competitive standpoint btw

iron vale
#

Technically speaking

tacit wing
#

i only got a 27" because of a good deal and i sit further back to compensate

iron vale
#

Size makes no difference as long as you can move it further away from you

#

Things I like 27" for: racing games, the new starwars game, watching shows/tvs from across the room

#

But I didn't like my 27" until I got a gas spring monitor arm so if I want I can easily move it to the very front of my desk or to the wall

tacit wing
#

i used to have this monitor distance back when i had a 24" LMAO and a monitor arm came in clutch as well so i didnt have to tilt my keeb

#

outside CSGO tho, i enjoy a 27" better regardless of the worse pixel density, i have my monitor further back as well

gusty magnet
#

@tacit wing thanks for the help

tight pulsar
#

@amber oracle do i take the dive into the ergo rabbit hole naed its only $40

amber oracle
#

i would say yes

#

i think you are going to be surprised about how it feels to type on that one :)

static garnet
#

membrane is always better than mechanical. mechanical is made up of a sheet of rubber domes and membrane has individual switches

tight pulsar
#

but $40 is hella good for the pcb and everything else, might try some tactiles in it 👀

static garnet
#

guys dont believe me pls

amber oracle
#

tactiles would be nice in that one, that is true too @tight pulsar

#

@static garnet dont worry, we see it as someone that posted in the wrong channel. Jokes belong in #general-chat

static garnet
#

ok

tight pulsar
#

naed when i get an ergo board and a good audio setup will i become amazing at writing essays

tacit wing
#

for some reason my PR for my fastest wpm is on Apple's Scissor switches

amber oracle

@tight pulsar nah, you will get muddle headed and prone to having weird hobbies thou

static garnet

whats everyone favorite switches?

#

i like kailh speed pro burgundys

#

for tactiles, holy pandas/zealios v2

tight pulsar

oh no naed

and clickies are razer purples/box jades/box whites/box navies

@static garnet less bs posting in channels that is NOT #general-chat would be appreciated

static garnet
#

ok

calm cobalt
#

razer huntsman mini or apex pro tkl

static garnet
#

apex pro

tacit wing
#

id actually get an apex keeb if it had a detachable usb cable and PBT caps coming standard

calm cobalt
#

yea

static garnet
#

id take the apex pro any day of the week

calm cobalt
#

atleast pbt keycaps i could careless about the cable imo

tacit wing
#

most of your money is going towards that little screen which is more of a novelty tbh

static garnet
#

id say the switches more than the screen

calm cobalt
#

that little screen is pretty good

tacit wing
#

what the actuation force of those omnipoints?

calm cobalt
#

0.4 i think

static garnet
#

you can change the actuation

calm cobalt

yea

0.4 to 3.8

tight pulsar

lol why would u want 3.8mm actuation

tacit wing

does anyone actually use that feature or do everyone just set it to the lowest point

static garnet
#

typing

calm cobalt
#

idk

static garnet
#

people use it

calm cobalt
#

i know people who use it

static garnet
#

a lot of people have it in the middle

sharp kindle
#

some people dont like having really fast actuation

calm cobalt
#

yea

sharp kindle
#

cause its easier to mistype

calm cobalt
#

yea

tight pulsar
#

i probably wouldnt change it if i had one

tacit wing
#

so i guess thats an advantage against the huntsman bc a few reviewers complain about being easier to mistype on the huntsman

calm cobalt
#

#

also the razer viperU is immune to double clicks right

sharp kindle
#

idk but according to some people on reddit the clicks feel bad

calm cobalt
#

its immune to double clicks

sharp kindle
#

they did update the clicks

#

but i personally dont have one

calm cobalt
#

the g pro wireless is the same price tho

static garnet
#

romer g switches suck

#

or the mouse

#

which one

calm cobalt
#

what switches are those

static garnet
#

logitech switches

#

theyre terrible

calm cobalt
#

there the ones on keyboards right

static garnet
#

yes

calm cobalt
#

o

static garnet
#

the g pro wireless mouse is great

tacit wing
#

the omron switches on the GPW have a tendency to double-click

calm cobalt
#

yea

tacit wing
#

theyre fixing it in the new one tho

#

i think they're not going omrons anymore

calm cobalt
#

heard it was supposed to be announced on the 8th

#

the superlight g pro wireless

tacit wing
#

the smaller size might have done it with me

#

if only keeb switches were just as affordable, id actually be an enthusiast

calm cobalt
#

5 for 1 switch

#

oof

tacit wing
#

2 pcs

calm cobalt
#

o

tight pulsar
#

why they so expensive?

tacit wing
#

theyre 5 bucks for a pair

tight pulsar
#

ya

tacit wing
#

5 bucks to fix a double-clicking issue seems worth it to me

daring zenith
#

Should I swap the switches on my gpw? no double clicking issues yet but

static garnet
#

yes

west hornet
#

i would probably only switch if you did have a problem

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

daring zenith
#

@tacit wing wondering, do those have perf differences?

#

I also need to figure out how you even take apart a gpw but yea

west hornet
#

id like to take apart my mouse just to clean it haha

daring zenith
#

and I'd need to figure out how to take apart gpw :P

tacit wing
#

Should I swap the switches on my gpw? no double clicking issues yet but
@daring zenith i dont think its an issue until it starts to be an issue

daring zenith
#

(Just wanted to know if it's go to be preemptive and if they're other consequences with the pre-built switches)

tacit wing
#

i have a friend that has a GPW who had it since it came out and no problems, i had another friend that got his and two weeks later started double-clicking

daring zenith
#

I've had mine for a while, I had a single day of double clicking issues, then it's been gone for most of the rest

#

it like double clicks once two weeks kinda rarity

tacit wing
#

I also need to figure out how you even take apart a gpw but yea
@daring zenith in terms of mouse surgery, beardedbob is the go-to channel for that

daring zenith
#

I'm just looking at mine and I'm like

#

hm

#

how the hell do you open it

tacit wing
#

that man is like the JerryRigEverything for gaming mice

daring zenith
#

hope I don't need real tools

#

ima take a look because I want to clean out my gpw anyways

tacit wing
#

i dont have a GPW but i can see it how it can probably tilt me while playing competitive games, i'd probably chuck it across the room if i lost to 1 vs. 5 clutch scenario because my mouse started double-clicking

#

or im just bad

daring zenith
#

lemme take a look

#

o no "a few tools here"

#

o no I need soldering :(

tight pulsar
#

lol u thought it was hotswap?

west hornet
#

lol

daring zenith
#

I was hoping it somehow was

#

I no solder

west hornet
#

i probably have a soldering iron in my basement i dont know about xD but i make mess

tacit wing
#

i think a hot swappable mouse is the Pwnage Ultra Custom

#

i might be wrong tho

drifting flax
#

I got a random question, I have a Logitech G430 headset where does that fall on the scale?

tacit wing
#

ahh the Tyler1 headset

calm cobalt
#

lol

drifting flax
#

Whats that even mean

calm cobalt
#

tyler1 headset makes him really loud

drifting flax
#

Oh so is it no good? I got them a few years ago for like 35$

calm cobalt
#

besides that its pretty good

#

you gonna get another pair

tacit wing
#

youre good man

#

honestly alot of headsets are adequate for gaming

#

but if you have a higher standard in sound go into the rabbithole of audiophile equipment lol

drifting flax
#

I'm building a new rig and was gonna pick up a new setup, just saw a review for like a sennhiser pc38x and pc 37x and also razor blackshark and they were all said to be very good

tacit wing
#

yessir

#

pc38x just dropped like a few days ago no

drifting flax
#

Na I just really want something comfortable that sounds good and will give good directional sound

#

Yea and they are really expensive

tacit wing
#

any decent headset can give you directional sound and the imaging you want for footsteps

#

i reckon ur playing fps games?

calm cobalt
#

dt990 pro and modmic

#

ez

#

jk

drifting flax
#

Some what, I play games like Escape from tarkov a bit, and will be getting into Cyberpunk (the main reason I'm rebuilding) but the rest is more things like DOS2, risk of rain 2, BG3 stuff like that

tacit wing
#

oh you have to go open-backs

#

Tarkov hits different with open-backs

drifting flax
#

Is my current one openback?

#

I know literally 0 about headsets

tacit wing
#

id only consider the BlackSharks if youre playing in a loud environment or youre living with people who dont want to hear the sound leaking out your headphones

#

Is my current one openback?
@drifting flax not at all
