@ionic cave look for used studio monitors

ionic cave
amber oracle
#

so, a 2.1 setup

ionic cave
#

yeah

amber oracle
#

again, go for the used market imo

ionic cave
#

ight

amber oracle
#

sometimes, you can get really lucky there and pickup something like the klipsch promedia 2.1 set

#

and that will blow the living heck out of just about anything else in that segment

timber ridge
#

I've seen them used for as low as 70 ish dollars

#

you cant go wrong with them

ionic cave
#

alright ill look around for those

timber ridge
#

70ish used

amber oracle

amber oracle
ionic cave
#

ionic cave
#

timber ridge

unless you need it like tomorrow or something

ionic cave

#

ionic cave
#

i use prime and i order stuff all the time off amazon. and half my PC parts came from amazon and shipped with ups

timber ridge

timber ridge
#

ik, ima jus have it plugged n

#

and theres a wired and bluetooth option

last plinth
#

im getting drop alt with kalih box whites

timber ridge
#

if i buy that kit, ima most likely get cream switches

#

my current board is a budget outemu hotswap i got a few years ago

#

might throw in sky switches in it when i upgrade

tight pulsar
#

why creams?

timber ridge
#

i like the sound of them

#

i like black inks too, but i heard the switches can be coinflip

last plinth
#

Also should i pay an extra 90 for keycaps

#

hmmm

#

so many choices

timber ridge
#

how much is gonna be the total for everything

last plinth
#

380 for mouse and kb if i do get keycaps

#

310 if i dont

timber ridge
#

how much is the mouse

last plinth
#

130

#

260 for kb and keycaps

timber ridge
#

the g pro wireless still?

last plinth
#

yea

#

Keycaps are gmk red samurai

#

Technically i COULD get the keycaps in my budget

#

But then i have to cut down from 32gb to 16gb

timber ridge
#

you really dont need 32gb of ram if youre doing pure gaming

last plinth
#

Pure gamer here

tight pulsar
#

id recommend picking up some foam if u get the alt

last plinth
#

Foam?

#

Whats that

tight pulsar
timber ridge
#

sound dapenner

last plinth
#

For?

timber ridge
#

or however u spell it

sharp kindle
#

yeah

last plinth
#

Y tho

sharp kindle
#

foam mod

timber ridge
#

its for sound

sharp kindle
#

its so ur keeb sounds better

last plinth
#

9

sharp kindle
#

its like hard to describe

last plinth
#

Ok

sharp kindle
#

but just do it

tight pulsar
#

basically one of the reasons why i dont like the alt is its really hollow and pingy but filling it foam helps a lot

last plinth
#

which one tho

timber ridge
#

you could also get a keeb built from kbd around the same price

sharp kindle
#

yeah what nachos said

last plinth
#

just any?

sharp kindle
#

also dont get 32 gigs of ram

#

i doubt ull need it

last plinth
#

Why

#

i will

#

7

timber ridge
#

what do you do on pc

tight pulsar
#

honestly any foam/anything dense, neoprene is usually the high quality stuff

sharp kindle
#

unless ur doing intensive rendering or video editing

#

u wont need it

#

16 gigs is enough for gaming

timber ridge
#

I only got 32gb bc of ae

sharp kindle
#

and streaming

last plinth
#

Imma video edit sum stuff

timber ridge
#

and even then, 16 was enough for ae

#

what type of editing are you gonna do? jus content creating or?

last plinth
#

Imma just make like 5 min montages

sharp kindle
#

nah bro

timber ridge
#

you dont need 32 then

sharp kindle
#

u dont need 32 gigs of ram for that

last plinth
#

ok

sharp kindle
#

so ur getting a drop alt now?

#

with gmk keycaps

#

my man ballin

timber ridge
#

sharp kindle
#

#

#

last plinth
#

yep

tight pulsar
#

alt hipro is a scam even tho its nice

sharp kindle
#

and honestly the drop alt default keycaps are pretty nice

last plinth
tight pulsar
#

alt is expensive enough

sharp kindle
#

doubleshot pbt

timber ridge
#

it is p expensive

#

you can build a decent keeb for the same price

sharp kindle
#

#

fe takes air from bottom

#

timber ridge
#

you can mount fans on the psu shroud in that case?

sharp kindle

last plinth
#

no imma just glue it

#

Its 80mm

timber ridge
#

bruh

sharp kindle
#

lmaoooo

timber ridge
#

you know there is better options

last plinth
#

sharp kindle
#

last plinth
#

yes

sharp kindle
#

timber ridge
#

last plinth
#

god pc

#

im down to wait

#

:)

sharp kindle
#

why not ryzen though

#

well i mean

#

zen 3

#

are you gonna get zen 3?

last plinth
#

Intel better single core performance

#

Um

sharp kindle
#

when official benchmarks come out?

solar raft
#

I dunno, they’re claiming that zen 3 will have better single core

last plinth
#

still probaly not

sharp kindle
#

ig it depends

solar raft
#

In some cases

last plinth
#

Expensive

sharp kindle
#

but zen 3 is looking hot rn

#

literally

#

cause theyre removing the stock coolers

last plinth
#

Its so expensive

#

Only one that looks worth imo is the 5900

sharp kindle
#

well

#

i mean

#

oh u have an i9

last plinth
#

Lookin expensive

#

I mean 550 isnt bad

#

Depends on benchmarks

timber ridge
#

those are all x models, their base model counterpart should all be 50 dollars cheaper

last plinth
#

and im planning to oc my i9 either way

#

If performance bad

#

IF

sharp kindle
#

i doubt it

timber ridge
#

are you gonna be building before ryzen 5000 benchmarks?

sharp kindle
#

hes waiting

last plinth
#

no

sharp kindle
#

till everything is in stock

#

which means

last plinth
#

yea

sharp kindle
#

hes gonna be waiting a long time

weary lodge
#

supposedly some early benchmarks were leaked, and it's on par with AMD's announcement

last plinth
#

December

#

Still saving

weary lodge
#

i haven't seen the leaks myself yet though

last plinth
#

Im at 1.2k

#

all in ones somewhere in my room

timber ridge
#

im not gonna upgrade my cpu til next generation

#

after ryzen 5000

timber ridge
#

any1 can help with picking out a mouse?

tacit wing
#

hand size and mouse grip?

timber ridge
#

normal and fingertip grip kinda

tacit wing
#

kinda?

#

is any part of your palm touching ur mouse

timber ridge
#

like the very right side of my palm sits on the mouse

#

part of the pinkie bone if that makes sense

#

and i dont plan on spending more than 50 on a mouse

tacit wing
#

but the the rest of your palm has no contact?

timber ridge
#

yep

tacit wing
#

squeeze 10 more in your budget Endgame Xm1 might be suitable for you

#

if not G203

timber ridge
#

the metacarpophalangeal is the only part taht touches it

#

otherwise that its all finger tips

tacit wing
#

what are you using right now?

timber ridge
#

a budget mouse, its like a symmetrical deathadder

#

if that gives you an idea

#

got it like 3 years ago and i need an upgrade lmao

#

i was looking around and the mamba elite, rival 310, rog gladius II, msi gm30 and a delux m627 mouse caught my eye

tacit wing
#

those mice are generally too large for fingertip but since you have a weird grip it might work for you

timber ridge
#

yea my grip is weird lmao

tacit wing
#

perhaps if you change mice your grip might change to something that fits more natural to the shape of the mouse

timber ridge
#

this is what i have

daring zenith
#

hm

tacit wing
#

do you want something with a similar shape or something entirely different?

timber ridge
#

im use to that shape, but if a different shape fits well im down for it

daring zenith
#

tbh I think I have like a backward palm grip now that I think about it

last plinth
#

Is g pro wireless fine for claw grip

tacit wing
#

Is g pro wireless fine for claw grip
@last plinth that shape is designed to be universal for all grip styles

last plinth
#

Also can u transition from palm to claw, etc?

tacit wing
#

its their flagship mouse after all

#

i transitioned from claw to fingertip

#

i find that it gives me more ROM

last plinth
#

Also in ur opinion whats best for aim

#

What grip

tacit wing
#

nothing lmao

timber ridge
#

that depends on u lmao

tacit wing
#

all pros use different grips

last plinth
#

most use fingertip and claw tho

#

I bet u theres only a few pros who use palm

tacit wing
#

alot in the CSGO scene that uses palm

#

Endgame XM1 is my suggestion for you @timber ridge

timber ridge
#

thx

tacit wing
#

whats your handsize anyway

#

length

#

i have 18x9 cm hands and i main the Viper Mini

#

fingertip

timber ridge
#

lemme get a ruler lmao

#

i like the viper shape

tacit wing
#

Viper is most optimized for Fingertip

#

it barely has a hump for claw and palm

timber ridge
#

23.368 cm length wise

tacit wing
#

ok XM1 is too small for you lol

timber ridge
#

yea, thats from like the beginning of my palm to fingertip

tacit wing
#

for under 50 bucks try Mira-M

#

generally budget mice are on the smaller size so tough luck on that

timber ridge
#

yea its not looking too good lmao

#

this is the set of mice I think may work

last plinth
#

I suggest rival 3

#

I had it

#

looks cool and nice

tacit wing
#

too small

last plinth
#

I got it for like 30

tacit wing
#

23cm is considered large

#

Rival 3 is ever so slightly bigger than the 203 which is a small mouse

timber ridge
#

i was supposed to measure from the base of my palm to fingertip right

tacit wing
#

yes u measured it right

timber ridge
#

kk

tacit wing
#

Glorious Model D is an option

#

under 50 bucks

#

Mira M has the same shape as the GPW for under 50, but you may find it small

#

but the shape of that mouse suits with alot of grips

timber ridge
#

might jus go with a mouse with a similar shape to stay on the safe side since my grip is wonky lol

glad hound
#

i just got the mh630 headset and when i plug it in I cant hear anything and the mic isnt working but my old headset worked just fine. any tips?

tacit wing
#

check microphone input

#

right click on the sound icon on ur taskbar and click sounds @glad hound

#

check recording tab

glad hound
#

ye the mic shows up but when i try to play it back nothing happens

sharp kindle
#

@timber ridge i have infinite respect for you

#

you made a gif

#

out of ambi mice sold on amazon

#

tf dude

timber ridge
#

lmao

tacit wing
#

@glad hound is your headset plugged into your mobo?

#

if it is check if your mic-input is in the right slot

#

you may have to download audio drivers

glad hound
#

I have it in the front spot on my case

#

ill try the mobo

tacit wing
#

thats why

#

your headset comes with a split audio jack

#

one for headphone out and one for mic in

timber ridge
#

make sure the cable is fully plugged into the headset

#

and locked if it has a locking mechansm

glad hound
#

Yea I locked it ima switch it to the mother board real quick though

tacit wing
#

make sure its the right slot youre plugging into

glad hound
#

Alright i finally got it working thanks for the help

hazy fiber
#

Sorry @brisk parcel, my WH1000XM4s spoiled me... I returned the Outlier Golds for WF1000XM3s I got off eBay (for a bargain, mind you) figure I can sell em for not too much of a loss when the next gen drops

#

It was the earpieces that did the Creatives for me

#

There's definitely something about Sony's sound that I like, though they aren't gonna beat my 6XXs anytime soon

timber ridge
#

i was tempted to try the wf1000xm3s but the design throws me off

tight pulsar
timber ridge
#

retooled blacks?

tight pulsar
#

lol i thought they were vint blacks but just cherry topped gaterons

timber ridge
#

ooo

brisk parcel
#

@hazy fiber np man 😂 I'm not gonna feel personally hurt about it lmao

#

everyone's ears are different too, fit in mine perfectly

timber ridge
#

are the rival 600 good

tacit wing
#

are the rival 600 good
@timber ridge i had that mouse, the side grip adhesives wore off after a few months

#

otherwise, good mouse for palm

#

it has a gimmicky LOD sensor which served me no purpose

timber ridge
#

i like the shape of it

tacit wing
#

similar shape to the mouse u have rn

timber ridge
#

yea, you know anything similar

tacit wing
#

Zowie EC1

#

were talking about beyond ur budget here

#

if u had a budget of over 50 bucks i couldve listed a whiole lot more earlier

timber ridge
#

yea, gonna bump it up a bit, dont wanna spend money on a mouse i dont like

#

I have the money, jus tryna budget myself lol

tacit wing
#

i think the mice im about to list is perfect for 23 cm

#

mountain makalu 67

#

g-wolves skoll

#

zowie ec1

#

Deathadder V2

#

Model D

amber oracle
#

zowie still around?

#

well darn!

tacit wing
#

yessir

#

Zowie sets the bar for shapes imo

#

everyone is cloning their EC series

#

and FK series

amber oracle
#

hm

timber ridge
#

i remember zowie being v popular for csgo

amber oracle
#

well, i officially feel really old now :D

#

because i remember them being new to the market

tacit wing
#

i will show u the shape comparison of Zowie FK1 vs Model O its literally the same exact shape @amber oracle

last plinth
#

I dont recommend any steelseries mouse whatsoever

tacit wing
last plinth
#

the rightclick on my rival 3 is messed up

amber oracle
#

heh

tacit wing
#

its literally the boomer vs zoomer of mice

#

but yeah Zowie's shapes are timeless

last plinth
#

omegalul

#

my hand fits perfectly for steelseries

#

and g pro wireless is bigger

tacit wing
#

you will have no problems transitioning to GPW shape

#

it has a generous hump for claw like the Rival 3

sharp kindle
#

gpw has a great shape

timber ridge
#

didnt think picking a mouse would be this hard lmao

#

atleast i decided on my keyboard

sharp kindle
#

yeah hes indecisive

#

and thats an understatement

#

wait or are you not talking about cntrlkey

timber ridge
#

talking about myself lmao

#

i like the rival 600 but apparently the grip coming off is a common issue

sharp kindle
#

ohhhhhhh

#

well

#

ok

#

cntrlkey is

#

very

#

indecisive

timber ridge
#

oof

#

jus gotta decide if i want it in black or white now

tacit wing
timber ridge
#

custom grips?

tacit wing
#

yup

#

gun grip kekww

timber ridge
#

ooo

#

jus noticed the viper is now in my budget

tacit wing
#

theres no hurt in trying but i will tell you that mouse is very flat

#

i dont think the hump is generous enough to support ur pinky bone

#

if you have PURE fingertip the Viper would be perfect

timber ridge
#

i dont think my pinkie bone actually rest on it

#

it jus comes in contact of it

tacit wing
#

local Best Buy have Vipers in display

#

you can try them out there

timber ridge
#

yea im prob gonna go tomorrow

#

they price match with amazon too so thats nice

#

the hyperx pulsefire looks p good too

tacit wing
#

i forgot to add the G403 on my list earlier

#

consider that as well

last plinth
#

Whats a good UPS

#

And will i even need one

#

@tacit wing

tacit wing
#

well i have one because i had three power outtages in a row one day and my studio monitors died to a power surge

last plinth
#

Will a surge protector be enough

#

I have one rn

tacit wing
#

for most people yes

#

your money will be better spent elsewhere if you have reliable power

last plinth
#

ok

tacit wing
#

i dont, i live in a rural town

amber oracle
#

also

#

have insurance

#

as in, actual insurance

#

not the "vendor" one

#

but actual insurance

last plinth
#

is las vegas a good power thingy

tacit wing
#

my neighborhood's power lines arent even underground, theyre still in poles kekww

last plinth
#

I live far from the strip

timber ridge
#

heard that the g403 had a heavy wire

#

or something

tacit wing
#

yes lol

timber ridge
#

either that or stiff

#

or both

tacit wing
#

braided cables arent really ideal for FPS games the cable drag can be a hindrance

timber ridge
#

ill update you guys tomorrow when i try out mice at bestbuy

tacit wing
#

this is why paracord mods really became popular to fix this issue

west hornet
#

I went from a big g602 to viper

#

I ended up adjusting my grip without realizing, but I like it so oh well

tacit wing
#

how do you like it?

hazy fiber
#

@hazy fiber np man 😂 I'm not gonna feel personally hurt about it lmao
@brisk parcel I do appreciate the 6XXs a ton tho, can't wait for my amp. I don't think I'll be able to appreciate sub-$100 earbuds after my Sony's lol
i was tempted to try the wf1000xm3s but the design throws me off
@timber ridge They chonky, but I really like em. Great sound and controls and pretty comfortable considering

tacit wing
#

i main the Viper Mini myself

#

anything but Fingertip is uncomfortable for me in this mouse

timber ridge
timber ridge
#

theres a cheaper version with optical switches but idk how i feel about them

calm cobalt
#

what color fits your setup

astral hinge
#

@timber ridge white always looks cleaner on black mousepads

calm cobalt
#

depends on his setup colors

#

and imo not always

dusky cedar
#

Need headphone recommendations please. Budget is about $300 at most but will gladly spend less if there’s a good option under that price. They will be mostly for gaming but also for music. I’m not an audiophile but I can tell good sound from bad. Play mostly FPS games. COD and war zone etc. don’t really care if they’re wired or not... any and all help is greatly appreciated 🙏

daring zenith
#

@dusky cedar Need headphone or headset? (Need mic or no?) And do you have amp+dac?

dusky cedar
#

No amp+dac although I am very interested in that setup. I have a separate yeti mic

daring zenith
#

@brisk parcel I'll leave it for ya to look for goodies

dusky cedar
#

Lol thanks

daring zenith
#

tryna think of good headphones off top of head

dusky cedar
#

I do have Bluetooth but I’ve read good and bad things about using that for sound.

daring zenith
#

HD600 I think? HD660? DT990 pro? HD58x?

dusky cedar
#

There’s just so many dang options and I don’t know where to start really

daring zenith
#

I'll leave it to either Sennheiser ninja, Naed, or Dino to gib good stuff

west hornet
#

Dont have time to talk rn, but real quick hd58x, hd6xx, dt 770/990 pro to name a few

daring zenith
#

hey I got 2

#

:D

#

The only thing I know is Sennheiser PC37x and PC38x for good gamery headsets

dusky cedar
#

I never want a gaming headset again lol

daring zenith
#

I mean

dusky cedar
#

Such a marketing thing

daring zenith
#

They're the kind of "great headsets, but still in the reach/advertising of gamery"

dusky cedar
#

And my pc always wants to switch between my stand alone mic and the headset mic

daring zenith
dusky cedar
#

Sweet man thanks

daring zenith
#

look through their reviews on the other goodies that ghost sent so far

#

Those are a lot of the popular headphones at the price range, they are for different tastes so see what you think youll like the most, ninja can probably find you a dac/amp in the price range if you interested, or ofc the apple dongle KermitVader

#

for keyboard

cunning hearth
#

@tight pulsar which keyboard is best anne pro 2, gk61, or compact gnmk?

timber ridge
#

gk61 is best value

#

forsure

tight pulsar
#

yeah id probably go with gk61

timber ridge
#

i personally like the anne 2 pro most, the gnmk has floating keys

#

gives me budget vibes

normal barn
#

@timber ridge @tacit wing @brisk parcel

#

yo guys

#

these 2

#

which one is better

#

@dusky cedar yo?

#

u want open cans?

#

whats ur budget

timber ridge
#

id say the shp9500

normal barn
#

ok

#

which one

timber ridge
#

this for gaming right?

#

bc at that price point, you might as well cop some sennheisers

cunning hearth
#

K thx guys

#

@tight pulsar @timber ridge what switches would u recommend with the gk61

#

Linear

#

Which ones r fastest

timber ridge
#

if you want most fastest

#

optical

#

but typically fast switches dont feel so good

#

silvers dont dont feel so good either and theyre not optical

cunning hearth
#

So what is the optical equivalent of say reds

#

@timber ridge

timber ridge
#

so there is optical versions of regular switches

#

so there is normal mechanical reds

#

then optical reds

#

essentially the same switch

#

but one optical one is not

cunning hearth
#

Oh ok then what is like optical yellows

timber ridge
#

theyre lighter than reds if i remember correctly

cunning hearth
#

Ok

#

Im gonna get optical reds then

#

Do reds feel good

last plinth
#

NO

#

jk

#

up to u

#

i like clicky

timber ridge
#

well optical switches dont feel so good in general compared to regular switches

last plinth
#

Its preference

timber ridge
#

but if youre okay with that then go for reds or yellows imo

hasty vigil
#

anyone know any good and cheap switch testers, i am looking to build my own mechanical keyboard but i currently have linear red switches and i dont like them

last plinth
#

imo clicky feels the best

#

@hasty vigil u can just search up videos

cunning hearth
#

Clicky do feel good but they too loud

last plinth
#

switches i recommend is kalih box whites

#

They clicky tho

timber ridge
#

jades have a nice click

cunning hearth
#

Mm razer greens are superr loud

#

Like im typing and my mom comes out of her office cuz she can hear me xD

timber ridge
cunning hearth
#

That just seems weird to me

#

Maybe ill get the anne pro 2

timber ridge
#

and idk any cheap switch testers but you could jus go to a bestbuy and try out linear, tactile and clicky switches

cunning hearth
#

With box reds

normal barn
#

@timber ridge then what do u recommend

#

pc38x/

timber ridge
#

yea those r good

cunning hearth
#

Mm ok thx

timber ridge
#

that answer was for both of u lmao

cunning hearth
#

Lmao

#

I got kinda confused lol

timber ridge
#

blues are actually nice to type on if youre ok with a loud keeb

#

or any clicky switch

normal barn
#

brown are good

timber ridge
#

yea

#

tactiles feel weird for me idk y

#

normal barn
#

llol im used to comact

#

membrnae

#

laptop keyboard

#

@cunning hearth whats ur keyboard budget

#

and what headphoen u got

cunning hearth
#

Budget? Like around 125 maybe

normal barn
#

phillps shp 9500, vmoda boom pro mic, fifine usb studio condser mic, schitt fulla amp+dac endgame

cunning hearth
#

Headphones im gonns get the shp9500+fifine t669

normal barn
#

yep

timber ridge
#

you dont need a vmoda if youre getting a fifine mic

cunning hearth
#

Exactly

timber ridge
#

amazon basic mic is also really good

normal barn
#

huh fr?

timber ridge
#

yea

normal barn
#

so is it as good as vmdoa oom pro

timber ridge
#

its not cheap tho

#

so

cunning hearth
#

So is the anne pro 2 best keyboard for $120 budget lance

normal barn
#

i mean reddragon has pretty decen tkeyboard

timber ridge
#

im not sure about best but its really good

#

120 is steep, get it off of newegg

#

youre gonna save like 30 dollars

cunning hearth
#

No its not actually 120, thats my budget

#

Hows the build quality is it plastic or metal

timber ridge
#

120 is your budget, but the board is really only $90

cunning hearth
#

Ah ok

timber ridge
#

plastic

cunning hearth
#

Oh

timber ridge
#

most boards are plastic

cunning hearth
#

Gmmk is aluminum

timber ridge
#

its not as thin looking as the one 2 mini tho imo

#

and yea, a lot of budget keyboards with floating keys are metal

cunning hearth
#

Mm ok anne pro 2 still looking good. R the keycaps good?

timber ridge
#

theyre p much your standard stock keycaps

#

you can switch them out

#

are you getting the black or white one

cunning hearth
#

Also is it hot swappable or no

#

White

timber ridge
#

nope

cunning hearth
#

Ah that sucks but whatever

timber ridge
#

i dont think any of the keyboards you mention are hotswap

#

if you want a real hotswap keeb you can get the kemove snowfox i think

#

a lot of budget hotswap keebs are either outemu hot swap only or optical hotswap only

last plinth
#

@sharp kindle is there any other keyboards like the drop alt

#

Theres a lot of problems with it and its 180$

#

:P

timber ridge
#

a hotswap tkl?

last plinth
#

no

#

I dont wanna pay 180$ for a keyboard just for it to have pinging noises

timber ridge
#

i know but what do you mean by "like the drop alt"

sharp kindle
#

it doesnt have pinging noises afaik

#

but as i said

#

the glorious gmmk

#

and a pack of clickys

timber ridge
#

he could always put foam in it

sharp kindle
#

yeah i think it comes with foam

#

and foam is relatively cheap

timber ridge
#

and clickys will prob drown out the ping sound

last plinth
#

ok

#

i was thinking of getting halo clears or something

sharp kindle
#

i dont mean to judge you but clickys are the worst switches hands down

#

sorry

#

but

last plinth
#

Cuz im getting a condenser mic and its gonna be loud

sharp kindle
#

thats a fact lmao

#

try silent alpacas

timber ridge
#

silent switches could be worst than clickys idk

sharp kindle
#

well they are linears

#

but

#

and also alpacas always sold out

timber ridge
#

and jus use rtx voice

#

for ur keeb

normal barn
#

Boosteroid

sharp kindle
#

well whatever u do dont get a mx brown kekw

last plinth
#

also

timber ridge
#

ill take outemu skys before mx browns

last plinth
#

should i get gmk keycaps or coiled wire

#

Both cost the same

normal barn
#

just get brown switches they have the tactile feel but are silent

last plinth
#

no

#

never

timber ridge
#

depends on what set has what u like tbh

last plinth
#

ever

#

Tell me to get brown

sharp kindle
#

@normal barn ur trolling

#

a brown switch is mushier than my grandpas left big toe

#

thats kinda disgusting

normal barn
#

i ain trolling gateron swithes are teactile but silent

timber ridge
#

i remember when zeals were like the pinnacle of switches

sharp kindle
#

but you get the point

#

gateron browns are better than mx browns

#

but honestly they suck too

last plinth
#

I think i get halo true

#

But i dont know whether to get gmk keycap set or coiled cable

sharp kindle
#

drop has good keycaps

#

doubleshot pbt i believe

#

like the drop alt has some pretty good default keycaps

timber ridge
#

coiled cable is pure aesthetics

sharp kindle
#

dont get a coiled cable

#

they arent worth it

#

unless ur gonna post ur battlestation on ig

#

u dont need a coiled cable lmao

last plinth
#

The keycaps i was planning on getting were the gmk red samurai

#

also does it come with keycap puller

normal barn
#

hypex pudding keycaps are insane good if u got rbg keyboard

last plinth
#

omg pls

normal barn
#

gmk samurai is too expenisve its like 70 fro a set

weary lodge
#

i got a $20 set of doubleshot pbt pudding keycaps from kprepublic and i really like th em

#

my only real complaint with them is that they don't let quite as much light through from the led's as i'd like

last plinth
#

Not 70

#

90

weary lodge
#

but they still look good

normal barn
#

@weary lodge see

#

she has puding keycaps

sharp kindle
#

@normal barn 70 isnt bad for gmk lmao

#

also dude i have to say

last plinth
#

Imma get the halo true

sharp kindle
#

browns suck

#

halo trues are nice

last plinth
#

Ok bet

sharp kindle
#

your fine with the default keycaps on the drop alt

#

their really nice

sharp kindle
#

ooh

#

they're compatible with the drop alt?

#

niceeee

last plinth
#

imma just keep stock ones

weary lodge
#

they ship from hong kong, so they'll take a couple of weeks, but mine were like $26 after shipping or something

#

i got the poker v2 60% set

last plinth
#

i really dont want any pinging noises

sharp kindle
#

get some foam

#

and do the foam mod

tight pulsar
#

if u think gmk samurai is expensive look at gmk aftermarket prices kekw

sharp kindle
#

you should be good

#

yeah

last plinth
#

Do i have to put it inside my kb

sharp kindle
#

gmk samurai is a good as deal

#

yeah

last plinth
#

bruh

sharp kindle
#

insidee the case

#

its not hard lmao

last plinth
#

i dont wanna

sharp kindle
#

bruh

last plinth
#

spend 180 on a kb

tight pulsar
#

u literally just unscrew it

sharp kindle
#

dude its really simple

#

yeah

last plinth
#

:(

sharp kindle
#

it makes a difference trust me

tight pulsar
#

building a pc is harder than it

sharp kindle
#

mhm

#

its honestly so simple

tight pulsar
#

the hardest part for me was getting the screw holes lined up

#

its hella easy

sharp kindle
#

cntrkey you really are that person

#

the type that wants everything

last plinth
#

dont I have to cut holes in the foam so it aligns

sharp kindle
#

that takes like 5 minutes

#

im assuming if you can chat on discord all day about peripherals you can put aside 10 minutes

#

it honestly isn't that hard dude

last plinth
#

bruh

#

Can i build my own keeb for 240

sharp kindle
#

yes

tight pulsar
#

yeah

sharp kindle
#

but 60 percent

#

only

last plinth
#

man

tight pulsar
#

nah

sharp kindle
#

well 65 is doable

#

yeah

#

you can do 65 percent

tight pulsar
#

id80 for tkl just needs foam like the alt/ctrl

#

think they have a new 75 too

sharp kindle
#

honestly building ur own keyboard isn;t the move

#

youll spend more time

#

sure youll have a better board probably

#

but dude

normal barn
#

96 percent is best compact full size i have a lenovo y50-70 so im used to compact full size

sharp kindle
#

u dont even wanna put foam in ur case

last plinth
#

Is drop alt high profile better

sharp kindle
#

bruh

tight pulsar
#

yooooooooooooooo

sharp kindle
#

im

#

not

#

tight pulsar
#

my keyboard is here

tight pulsar
#

yuh got them for a decent price so i was like sure lol

sharp kindle
#

last plinth
#

What happens if i dont put foam

tight pulsar
#

it sounds more hollow

sharp kindle
#

yeah

#

and in certain cases

last plinth
#

Hollow?

tight pulsar
#

yeah

sharp kindle
#

there willl be more rattle

last plinth
#

ugh

sharp kindle
#

i would reccomend the foam mod

#

its really easy

last plinth
#

man

sharp kindle
#

hollow isn't bad dude

last plinth
#

yea ik

#

But rattle

sharp kindle
#

well

#

have you had a razer keyboard

#

thats the definition of rattle

#

it ownt be as bad

#

not nearly as bad

last plinth
#

It was membrane

sharp kindle
#

it will still sound good dude

#

oh

last plinth
#

membrane switches

sharp kindle
#

well razer mechanical keyboards have more rattle than a rattlesnake

last plinth
#

honestly

tight pulsar
#

okay finally found a video comparison

#

this is with no foam and foam between the plate/pcb and pcb/case (dont really have to worry about between the plate/pcb)

last plinth
#

I cant tell the difference

#

Ok

tight pulsar
#

its pretty noticeable for me

#

the second one is decently deeper sounding

sharp kindle
#

^^

#

was gonna say that

#

but if you cant notcie

#

ur good

last plinth
#

bet

#

So

#

drop alt(halo true) + gpw

sharp kindle
#

thats good

#

what mousepad?

last plinth
#

I already have mousepad

#

Steelseries qcK or something

sharp kindle
#

oh ok

weary lodge
#

i built my 60% for like $60 but it's def on the cheap end

sharp kindle
#

woah what

#

how

weary lodge
#

i like it a lot though

sharp kindle
#

tf

#

plastic parts

#

ah i see

last plinth
#

:gachiPls: plastic

weary lodge
#

gk61 kit from banggood, bulk gateron red switches for cheap, and the $20 keycap set

#

i also got the gk61 kit on sale, so it was less than $40 before shipping

#

it's normally around 50-60

sharp kindle
#

oh

#

ofc

weary lodge
#

but still, even not on sale, it would have been like $80 or so

#

all total

last plinth
#

Not bad

weary lodge
#

but the gateron red switches feel great for me, and the gk61 software is a little clunky, but it only took me about 20-30 minutes to figure out how to do custom lighting effects and all that

last plinth
#

Shouldve made a yt vid on it

#

“Best Budget custom kb”

tight pulsar
#

theres one with gat yellows under 100 on yt already

weary lodge
#

actually i think toastybros did a video about a similar kit

#

yeah, that might be the one, with the yellows

tight pulsar
#

yea

weary lodge
#

they also did switch lube

#

which i didn't care as much about

tight pulsar
#

👀 spoiler coming up

weary lodge
#

the only complaint i have about my kb is the space key feels mushy, it doesn't have the snap/spring whatever you want to call it, that the rest of the keys have

#

but it's not enough for me to hate it

#

it's just not ideal

sharp kindle
#

you can replace the spring

weary lodge
#

yeah i was gonna dig into it a little, not sure if it's the spring or the stabilizers on the board itself

#
