timber ridge
#

viper mini and g903

tacit wing
#

yessir

timber ridge
#

worst case scenario is i find out i like one more

#

and i have to send it back, otherwise ill jus keep both if i like them equally

tacit wing
#

personally for me i find the 903 too big for me but more power to you if you do

timber ridge
#

yea

#

ggs

#

lmao

tacit wing
#

coming from the mouse you have now

#

the Viper will feel like a feather

timber ridge
#

ez

tacit wing
full kelp
#

last plinth
#

LMFAOOO

full kelp
#

YOU PAID 120$

#

😮

timber ridge
#

is that bad

full kelp
#

might as well get a GPW

tacit wing
#

how much did u paid for urs meep

last plinth
#

yea

full kelp
#

i paid 30$ for my G305

tacit wing
#

GPW is notorious for double-clicking

last plinth
#

And gpw is perfect for u aswell

timber ridge
#

wait i ahve to reorder

#

ordered using wrong card lmao

elder remnant
#

g305 gang

last plinth
#

ur hand size is mine

elder remnant
#

imagine spending big bucks on a mouse

full kelp
#

G305 wireless best mouse hehe

last plinth
#

But my length is lower

full kelp
#

or model O wireless

last plinth
#

By 1

tacit wing
#

yeah G305 is suitable for ur size too Lance

full kelp
#

according to my friend Model O Wireless is the best thing since sliced bread

tacit wing
#

in fact i like the egg shape better than the Viper Mini

timber ridge
#

i mean

#

ok

tacit wing
#

but the lighter weight made me main the Mini

timber ridge
#

i can do viper and g503

#

itll save me money

tacit wing
#

viper mini and 305

#

two of the best small mice

#

305 OP for Claw

full kelp
#

oh make sure to buy a AAA battery

tacit wing
#

Viper Mini OP for Ftip

full kelp
#

makes it feel sooo much better

timber ridge
#

wait the g503 isnt rechargable ?

last plinth
#

bread is peasant food

full kelp
#

G305 isnt

tacit wing
#

not 503

#

305 is triple A or Double A battery powered

last plinth
#

Bagles are kings food

timber ridge
#

oof

full kelp
#

its double A normally

tacit wing
#

if thats a deal breaker for you stay with the 903

last plinth
#

just buy a rechargable battery and stuff

full kelp
#

but just throw a AAA battery and a tinfoil ball

#

hehehehehe

timber ridge
#

is the 703 any good

tacit wing
#

lightweight mod

full kelp
#

yes

tacit wing
#

is the 703 any good
@timber ridge battery life is garbo

timber ridge
#

even with the hero sensor ?

full kelp
#

borderline GPW according to peeps

tacit wing
#

the 703 uses the old hero sensor which isnt very efficient compared to the one with the 305

timber ridge
#

makes sense

full kelp
#

light mouse cool

tacit wing
#

the 703 has one of the very first interations of the HERO sensor

#

if the G203 or 305 were around 60g like my V Mini, thats endgame for me

timber ridge
#

ooo i was lookin at the wrong 305 the entire time

#

the batteries are a dealbreaker for me tbh

tacit wing
#

903 it is then

timber ridge
#

at that price point atleast

tacit wing
#

stick with ur orginal buy

timber ridge
#

$70 and batteries

#

oof

tacit wing
#

the 203 is the wired version and its around the same price of the Viper Mini

timber ridge
#

oof

full kelp
#

gpw if ur gonna pay 100$

timber ridge
#

doing the math super quick

#

bc i need left over for a phone, 2 ps5s and a gpu lmao

last plinth
#

@sharp kindle halo clear or true

#

Thinking of getting true

timber ridge
#

did u decide yet @last plinth

last plinth
#

i need someone elses opinion

#

honestly if someone can find a video of them being played side that would be neough

timber ridge
#

what side by side

last plinth
#

Like the switches being pressed

#

one part is halo clear

#

Other is halo true

#

but either way im leaning towards halo true

#

mx clear sounds better than halo clear

timber ridge
#

are you using like raw switch comparisons or like full builds

#

bc there is a lot of factors if its full build

last plinth
#

drop alt

timber ridge
#

ooo

#

ya know any nice shine through keycaps

#

thats budget

daring zenith
#

@tacit wing yea double clicking is becoming more apparent now :(

brisk parcel
#

any of you know anything about the drop hifiman HE4XX?

#

thinking about picking them up next

west hornet
#

Wasnt a new one just released, like the he400i or something like that?

brisk parcel
#

hmm

#

good question

#

not sure lmao

west hornet
#

around 200usd i think

brisk parcel
#

will have a look rn

#

there's the 35Xs, don't see any 400is

#

you talking about on hifiman's website?

#

oh yee you're right

#

I thought the 4XX were an iteration of them?

west hornet
#

Oh i see, it looks like there is a 2020 edition of them

#

idk what difference is, i think i saw joshua valour have a vid on them

brisk parcel
#

looks like the 2020 version just has a few QoL adjustments

#

yeah from what I can read the 4XX are the 400i with a few build changes

#

and different pads

west hornet
#

i see someone selling for 130usd

brisk parcel
#

hmm

#

I'll keep an eye out, not buying for a while anyway

#

would probably wanna buy a solid state since I don't have one yet, maybe the magni 3

#

I hear planars get hella distortion from tubes but I have no experience with it

#

guess I'll be doing some digging on that as well

#

off to work, see you all later

#

if anyone else has any commends on the 4XX/400I lmk!

#

feel free to @ me too

west hornet

#

oh wait wrong mention ment to mention dino acciedntly click u instead

cyan basalt
#

@normal barn I'm pretty sure planar headphones are almost always open, so they leak sound in

#

and out

#

So you'll hear everything around you and everyone will hear what you're listening to

#

I have the Hifiman he-400, the old ones, and the sound is decent, but they're heavy...

normal barn
#

west hornet

timber ridge

normal barn
#

plus vmoda boom mic

#

good or nah

timber ridge
#

not familiar with that headphone

#

and should i get black or reds, I hve red switches rn

normal barn
#

@timber ridge red is better than black in every aspect

west hornet
#

Looks kind of gimmicky and i see some reviews saying it has bad build quality and design flaws

timber ridge
#

this keeb has gateron switches

west hornet
#

Omg buckling spring best

#

didnt know those still exist

tight pulsar
#

blacks are literally just heavier reds nothing is worse or better than them besides the spring weight

last plinth
#

frick it

#

im getting kalih box whites

#

Halo true have ping noise

amber oracle
#

ding

#

you have now changed your mind 200 times

#

:P

sharp kindle
#

reds > blacks any day

#

but if you want reds gateron reds are smoother imo

#

and if you want a really good linear switch thats also cheap gateron yellows all the way

west hornet
#

Ya know what, i sell everything and get the arya’s instead xD

last plinth
#

man

#

just listen to this

#

How could u not want box whites after that

sharp kindle
#

i religiously hate clicky switches but those sound nice

last plinth
#

yep

#

And its stock

timber ridge
#

if the high profile alt was cheaper i would of considered it

last plinth
#

Should i get high profile

tacit wing
#

@brisk parcel Josh Valour made some comparisons with the 400i 2020 and 4XX on a review he dropped a few days ago

#

im just gonna work the block and save up for a Sundara

sharp kindle
#

@last plinth high profile isnt worth it

last plinth
#

ok

brisk parcel
#

@tacit wing will give that a look, tbh not buying the cans til December and I've got a decent bit coming in with my job

#

so I can def afford the sundara when it comes to that

#

apparently they have crazy soundstage, like SUPER crazy, and I'm curious

#

like I like the soundstage on the 58X don't get me wrong at all but like idk

#

curious lmao

tacit wing
#

yup once i step into planar land with the Sundaras, i will settle down for a while

brisk parcel
#

yeah I'm sure we're gonna be eating those words

tacit wing
#

kekww i reckon if i go for a set of cans a step-up in price range from what i have now, ill have more of a reason to stop for a while

brisk parcel
#

well

#

I hope that's the case for myself as well lmao, I'll have to pick up a solid state amp as well tho

#

since apparently planars get distortion from tubes a lot

#

idk

#

I feel like a certain someone is lurking and waiting to jump in

#

you can do it buddy I don't mind ❤️ 🙂

#

I will return later

tacit wing
#

idk what they feel like

#

i feel like if i get these, ill have an urge to get a balanced amp as well sadpepe

#

it will never end

west hornet
#

if i dont get a quest, i might get a pair of balanced speakers

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

last plinth
#

i could just get a headset and get a quest woth elite strap and cable

sharp kindle
#

cmon

#

dude

#

you have to just decide

little crater
last plinth
#

I dont want a vr

#

My friend told me not to get one if i wanna be really good at fps

brisk parcel
#

idk if I wanna get a balanced amp or just a balanced cable? not sure if there's a difference

#

I still got a lot to learn so

#

probably gonna do some research on that next lmao

tacit wing
#

i know you got to get both to get the benefits of both

west hornet
#

mm

brisk parcel
little crater
#

new opamp sounds poggers

tacit wing
#

what i do not know is how i can determine which cans would benefit from a balanced output

little crater
#

treble percussion sounds actually good now

brisk parcel
#

I wanna know why I should want it lmao

#

also @last plinth who is this friend who tells you all these lies

#

VR is for having FUN

#

not whether you're gonna be good at FPS games lmao

#

it won't hinder your performance, that doesn't even make sense

sharp kindle
#

yeah lmao

#

you can play beat saber

#

and then go yell at some russians in csgo

#

thats the story of my life

tacit wing
#

cyka blyat

last plinth
#

no hes saying i should focus on fps instead of vr

tacit wing
#

???

#

dont be easily influenced by your friends

#

know what you want

sharp kindle
#

i mean if you wanna play vr go for it

#

also if ur playing fps games for fun dont sweat it 😉

amber oracle
#

@tacit wing congrats, you made me give the table a bath in tea with the "suspension straps" comment. Because i instantly have a picture of a pair of headphones in overalls going "ya'all"

tacit wing
#

your mind really strayed that direction when u read that word Naed kekww

#

i dont even know if its the right term for these type of headbands, but where i'm from anything with "strap" on it always lead to a bad sexual innuendo

amber oracle
#

well, i was in a 5 hour call with a bunch of people from that particular area of the states earlier today

west hornet
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

amber oracle
#

so i have heard all i need to of that particular dialect :)

last plinth
#

not like hes forcing me

#

wait why tho naed

#

MonkaS

timber ridge
#

cntrl. did you order a keeb yet

last plinth
#

no

tacit wing
#

i will have already graduated college, get a job, start a family, have kids, retire, die, and come back to life before cntrl orders anything

timber ridge
#

how is shipping on drop

#

isnt it super long

tacit wing
#

nope, a week tops

#

my 58x didnt took too long

#

i believe mine came from San Francisco

#

and i live in Socal so it depends

west hornet
#

i think my 6xx took like 2-3 weeks, but i not sure. i was secretly tracking them

timber ridge
#

my keeb coming tuesday

#

waiting off on the mouse til a sale, then ima cop

tacit wing
#

what are you planning to get from drop Lance?

timber ridge
#

was jus curious

#

i might have to get keycaps off their, keycaps for my layout is on the rare side

tight pulsar
#

wut layout

timber ridge
#

84keys

#

so like a 75

tight pulsar
#

75 isnt bad u just need some random 1u keys and a short r shift

timber ridge
#

yea the shorter shift aint that bad

#

but the keys on the very right

#

the pg up dn etc

tight pulsar
#

u can just use any for those

timber ridge
#

usually are the wrong height

tight pulsar
#

eh how many times are you really gonna use them :p

timber ridge
#

thats true

#

but aesthetics

tight pulsar
#

drop keycaps dont really have the best compatibility for non standard layouts in general

timber ridge
#

yea, theres some nice options on there

#

gonna use this keeb as an intro to building

#

prob gonna switch out the switches n stuff

last plinth
#

What keycaps should i get for alt

tight pulsar
#

that might be the most vague question you have asked

#

literally everything about keycaps is preference

tacit wing
#

a keyboard plebian like me have not tried anything outside of cherry profile

tight pulsar
#

mt3 or bust

last plinth
#

im saying whats a good one that fits the alt

#

top left busta

west hornet
#

anime keycaps best

tight pulsar
#

is the alt not just a normal 65 layout so pretty much any set should work with it as long as it has a 6.25u bottom row and 1.75u right shift

timber ridge
#

might put outemu skys in my current board when my new one comes

tacit wing
#

i reckon i wouldve built a KBD75v2 by now if i didnt get into audio

last plinth
#

Dino

#

if i were to spend more money on something

#

Should I spend more money on dac or amp

last plinth
#

Should I spend more money on dac or amp @brisk parcel

#

I could probaly fit a valhalla in my budget

#

my parents told me i dont really have a budget

#

under 5k

#

And im at 3.5k rn so

tacit wing
#

why tubes

#

i mean tubes are lovely but why that as your first amp

timber ridge
#

your parents said you dont have a budget?

#

wth

tight pulsar
#

get like a 1k dac+amp and then invest the rest

tacit wing
#

if i had no budget id cop a 789 and call it a day

#

and start a collection of cans

last plinth
#

I should spend more money on a amp right

tacit wing
#

wym more money??

#

more money than what

last plinth
#

like

#

do i get a better dac or amp

tacit wing
#

have u even decided on your headphones yet?

last plinth
#

Yea

#

6xx

#

Assdrop

tacit wing
#

Assdrop huh

last plinth
#

*massdrop

tacit wing
#

schiit stack or atom stack

#

and u can call it a day

#

if u want to go tubes, Little Dot will scale well with those cans

west hornet
#

dont need to go too overkill for a first setup

timber ridge
#

i 4got about the atom

last plinth
#

No but listen

#

one time thing

brisk parcel
#

^

tacit wing
#

dont need to go too overkill for a first setup
@west hornet right you dont need no damn Valhalla kekww

last plinth
#

after this never again

brisk parcel
#

little dot will scale well

#

better than the vallhalla

west hornet
#

lol

last plinth
#

After i buy the stuff i cant get anything

brisk parcel
#

sorry, vali 2

last plinth
#

Maybe valo

#

Vali

brisk parcel
#

no no

#

get the LD

last plinth
#

whats ld

brisk parcel
#

much more scalable, can do tube rolling

tacit wing
#

i wouldnt invest on a hybrid amp tbh

brisk parcel
#

well then screw it and get a darkvoce

#

darkvoice*

last plinth
#

link it

brisk parcel
#

it's a full tube amp

#

1 sec

last plinth
#

looks ugly

brisk parcel
#

bor

west hornet
#

jeez just get a motu m2 and there ya go, a xlr mic interface with a pretty nice headphones output, also got balanced and unbalanced speaker out

brisk parcel
#

bro*

#

we talked about looks

tacit wing
last plinth
#

I wanna flex on my friends with a pretty looking lightbulb

tacit wing
#

it needs to look gAmEr for it to appeal to cntrl

last plinth
#

no not gamer

brisk parcel
#

1 sec, lemme show you a pic of what I got

last plinth
#

Swag

sharp kindle
#

you said gamer earlier

#

G A M I N G dac/amp

last plinth

brisk parcel
#

On the left is the Schiit modi 3, in black, and the Littledot on the right with the tubes

#

With my cans over the LD

last plinth
#

Me want little dot

#

PLS PLS

west hornet
#

nice, doubles as headphone stand

brisk parcel
#

it does 😎

last plinth
#

pls

tacit wing
#

cntrl honestly you dont need a whole lot if the 6xx is going to be your only cans and dont plant to grow a collection

#

little dot and a stack is more than enough

brisk parcel
#
last plinth
#

Wait do i need those

brisk parcel
#

you don

#

don't*

last plinth
#

Are the stock ones bad or something

brisk parcel
#

but they're better than the stock ones

#

they're not bad

#

but these are better

#

and not too expensive

#

worth it for sure

#

I personally prefer the mullard over the riverstone, but most prefer the riverstone

last plinth
#

i’ll consider it in the future

brisk parcel
#

it's an extra $20 man but ok lmao

last plinth
#

dont know how 2 replace

brisk parcel
#

that's what the manual is for

#

plus

#

when you get the LD, it doesn't come with the tubes installed

#

you have to insert them yourself

#

so easy a baby can do it, literally

timber ridge
#

think after i cop a few things i want imma do an audio upgrade and cop a dac/amp and some new headphones

#

gonna need yall help when i do tht

brisk parcel
#

for sure, just let us know ❤️

last plinth
#

hmm

#

ok ninja

timber ridge
#

im not no audiophile so i like my stuff kinda v shape sounding if that makes sense

#

and i like closed back more than open

last plinth
#

i dont wanna buy anything via ebay

brisk parcel
#

trust me man if you need help all you gotta do is ask me when you get it, and well you're jumping into audiophile stuff so ebay is kinda a must, especially for the tubes

last plinth
#

dont ask why

brisk parcel
#

oh I'm gonna ask why

#

not like amazon is safer

#

honestly

last plinth
#

Which ones do i get

brisk parcel
#

you can DM me if need be

#

like I said, I prefer the mullard, but most prefer the riverstone

#

you don't need the russian power tubes but they are good power tubes

last plinth
#

me get mullard like u

#

im sennheiser ninja jr.

brisk parcel
#

alright

#

well they are a bit warmer, a little wider, you can hear the silence between notes it's kinda cool

#

don't glow very brightly but they do glow

last plinth
#

Why is it on gbp

brisk parcel
#

because it comes from britain

#

Mullard is a British brand

tacit wing
#

i missed a deal from this guy from the UK selling his 4xx for 125 USD shipped

brisk parcel
#

ooooof

tacit wing
#

but i wanted Sundaras and im firm on that

brisk parcel
#

^

#

honestly idk what I want

#

something planar for sure, because planars have a little better soundstage overall, and I want some really crazy soundstage on top of that

#

I'm a soundstage fiend, why I picked up the mullards, they're hard to come by tho

tacit wing
#

this price is pretty tempting as well

last plinth
#

These riht

#

Right

brisk parcel
#

yup

last plinth
#

ok

brisk parcel
#

@timber ridge I'll keep those 2 things in mind

#

you open to other things? I might have a few interesting options for you when the time comes

last plinth
#

How long did they take to ship @

#

ninja

brisk parcel
#

4 days or so

#

ordered them on a wednesday afternoon, came monday morning

timber ridge
#

im down to test headphones that have a wider sound

#

but think ima stay strictly close back

brisk parcel
#

okay, I will tell you up front that like almost every open back has a wider sound than a closed back, aside from the really high end closed

tacit wing
brisk parcel
#

WHOAH

#

STELLAR INDEED

tacit wing
brisk parcel
#

OOOH

tacit wing
#

ever since i got into audio stuff im more finicky with how tracks are mastered and what not

brisk parcel
#

same lmao

#

THIS IS COOL

tacit wing
#

and how i realized how some of my favorite songs are mixed like crap

brisk parcel
#

got any more of these?

timber ridge
#

yea im aware that open back have a wider sound stage but dont want my stuff leaking much and I already kinda like the v shape sound

tacit wing
timber ridge
#

i might invest in open back for my second set

brisk parcel
#

have heard that one already

#

and yeah I get the v-shape thing

#

but that's more of a driver characteristic, less of an open or closed characteristic

#

opens are something else honestly

timber ridge
#

oh ok

#

yea i def want open back eventually, but i think my first pair are gonna be close

brisk parcel
#

yeah they leak sound but it's like anything else, after 5-6ft it's audibile but not recognizable

#

yeah I gotcha

west hornet
#

i only stop listening to the songs that really bother me, sadly some good ones 😔

brisk parcel
#

^

#

there are a few I have parted ways with

west hornet
tacit wing
#

free flac files aPES_Zoom

west hornet
tacit wing
#

my foobar looks very empty i kinda admit

west hornet
#

i always look for new stuff

tacit wing
#

i did a blind listen test and i cant differentiate 320 kbps mp3 vs FLAC

west hornet
#

just got genshin soundtrack love_it

tacit wing
#

but anything below 320 i can point out

#

but those are my ears tho, low-fi ears

west hornet
#

i should do a test with 320 and flac, than i want to try flac/mp3 vs spotify

#

i also want to try 16 bit vs 24bit

#

for some reason spotify really bother me and idk if i just crazy or there is something going on with it

brisk parcel
#

idk either

#

I'm def switching to tidal soon

#

can use my student discount

#

$10/mo for crazy better sound quality

west hornet
#

only thing that stop me is tidal dont have many song i listen, but doesnt mean i wouldnt be able to use for some songs and recommendations

brisk parcel
#

That's fiar

#

just made this lmao

tacit wing
#

oo i have a playlist for testing as well kekww

west hornet
#

queen wadi

low sens + light mouse = mouse whipping around everywhere and cable goes crazy

astral lion
#

astral lion
#

lol i only have 2 solo wins

tacit wing
#

queen wadi
#

never really played cs

#

was overwatch gamer

astral lion
#

cs looks fun but its hard

queen wadi
#

i played DM since cs was free before i got a gpu lol

astral lion
#

tacit wing
#

i love csgo

#

i love val too

astral lion

#

LMFAO

#

bc im broke

tacit wing
#

its the only game i can see myself to put as much hours as i have in CSGO

queen wadi
#

deathmatch

astral lion
#

val looks boring

#

i like shotgun close range stuff

#

like from a shooter

tacit wing
astral lion
#

cuz my aim is bad

queen wadi
#

imagine

astral lion
queen wadi
#

val has shotguns too >:)

astral lion
#

but they bad

queen wadi
#

im hardstuck plat 3 😭

tacit wing
#

didnt they just nerf the judge

#

i was hard stuck diamond 3 and rage uninstalled

queen wadi
#

they nerfed a lot of shotguns like two updates ago

#

mainly the headshot aim punch and they nerfed jump accuracy, upped judge price etc

amber oracle
#

@timber ridge why? i own all those soundtracks, that was just copy/pastes directly from the database

timber ridge
#

model o wireless looks p good

queen wadi
#

yea

timber ridge
#

and to share them 🙂 @amber oracle

queen wadi
#

only thing that kinda sux is the 71hr battery w rgb off

amber oracle
#

@little crater halo 1

#

i just did Lance :)

queen wadi
#

but at least it comes with a supposedly good cable to use while charging

timber ridge
#

true

tacit wing
#

the last time i played Killjoy wasnt even in the game

#

i was hardstuck diamond 3 in beta as well

queen wadi
#

never played beta

astral lion
#

i just charge overnight

queen wadi
#

my friend told me there was 13 rounds to win and iw as like NVM

tacit wing
#

tacit wing
#

pog

queen wadi
#

i was one game from d1 twice this act but

#

#

#

;/

#

and he afkd after the window to do /remake so lost elo for no reason

little crater
sharp kindle
#

@tacit wing csgo is the game you grind rage quit and grind again

amber oracle
#

have we not talked about this before Sassy?

little crater
#

i dont think so

amber oracle
#

i believe i said that (last i talked about it (halo) here) that because of my age, and the amount of time i spent playing Halo 1, its the one that "stuck" the most with me

tacit wing
#

csgo the game i will always come back to just because its been with me deadass my entire life

amber oracle
#

i spent many a evening with mates playing it on the org xbox

little crater
#

ahh, yeah i played ce a ton as a kid too, even tho it was like 2010

#

nice

sharp kindle
#

same bro same

tacit wing
#

didnt play alot of 1.6 but majority of my adolescence i played Source

amber oracle
#

heh

#

last i played CS, was in ... 2002 or so?

sharp kindle
#

oh god

#

thats

#

a long time ago

timber ridge
#

was too young to remember playing the og halo

amber oracle
#

and i played with a trackman :)

timber ridge
#

think i started off on halo 2 or 3

sharp kindle
#

idc if csgo has hackers, or bad servers, or toxic players ill always go back to it

#

ive tried valorant and r6

#

and they both dont feel as good as csgo

#

theres something about csgo for me

tacit wing
#

Faceit servers feel smooth

amber oracle
#

that one

tacit wing
#

free from hackers too

little crater
#

oh naed, so im looking for a "gaming" keyboard and mouse set that would have been quite popular in the early 2000's. i figured you would know.

sharp kindle
#

they do when u dont get forced to play on chicago servers

#

lmao

amber oracle
#

you guys might laugh at that mouse

little crater
#

like 2001-2002

tacit wing
#

i think the go-to mouse for cs back then was the mx518

amber oracle
#

but the reaction time on it is silly high

sharp kindle
#

it was

tacit wing
#

with the dented helmet look

amber oracle
#

no need to move the mouse

west hornet
#

I’ve never used those nice xD

sharp kindle
#

trackball mice just arent for me

amber oracle
#

just flick your thumb

west hornet
#

Only the ones with trackball underneath

sharp kindle
#

flirted with one for office work

#

didnt feel right

amber oracle
#

@little crater that would have been strictly in the microsoft era then

tacit wing
#

i used to play super high sens at 1600 dpi and now i transitioned to arm aiming and it changed everything kekww

amber oracle
#

their mouse and keyboards reigned fairly surpreme at the time

sharp kindle
#

same dino same

west hornet
#

I feel like I’d prefer a wireless trackpad if I needed pc but no room to move mouse

sharp kindle
#

i used to have crazy high sens

#

now i have crazy low sens

tacit wing
#

i used to have like w0xic sens

sharp kindle
#

400dpi 1.4

#

is the move

little crater
#

ok thx for the info

sharp kindle
#

with 0.79 zoom

tacit wing
#

i play 400 1.7

#

i used to be at 2.5

amber oracle
#

intellimouse ... something something @little crater

sharp kindle
#

used to play that sens last year but i got a full on desk mat so now i play even lower

amber oracle
#

and i believe they did a bundle with that at the time, and that keyboard was just what you used

tacit wing
#

but i up'd my dpi to 800 with ingame sens of 0.85 which is the same as 400 1.7

amber oracle
#

the mouse was close to indestructable

#

IF you owned a netcafe, you used those.

sharp kindle
#

thats understandable

amber oracle
#

it was just not a question.

little crater
#

huh

sharp kindle
#

less pixel skipping

little crater
#

interesting

tacit wing
#

Smerth do u play stretched?

sharp kindle
#

yep

tacit wing
#

you know Kjaerbye from FaZe

sharp kindle
#

yeah 800 by 600 res

#

crazy

#

with a 3080 too

tacit wing
#

and he has a 3090

amber oracle
tacit wing
amber oracle
#

originally it was a ps2 based one

sharp kindle
#

hey

#

thats a zowie mouse

#

stop lying to me

amber oracle
#

guess where zowie copied the shape from :)

tacit wing
#

Zowie EC1

sharp kindle
#

oh crap really

tacit wing
#

i missed typed

amber oracle
#

that one is from back in the 90's or so

tacit wing
#

3080 i meant

sharp kindle
#

yeah he has a 3080

#

still very wack

#

the fact he has 800 by 600 with everything on low except for shadows

#

with a 3080

#

is very weird

tacit wing
#

Zowie EC1 vs Intellimouse

sharp kindle
#

holy crap

#

thats...

#

also what website is that

tacit wing
sharp kindle
#

thx

amber oracle
#

which is why i still firmly believe that people are silly when they say that microsoft cannot design good hardware

tacit wing
#

very useful to make reference with the mouse u have owned currently

amber oracle
#

i am sorry internet, but you have bugger all idea about what you are talking about :)

tacit wing
#

the EC2 is still the most popular mouse among csgo pros

sharp kindle
#

yep

#

most cs pros use zowie

#

for mice

amber oracle
#

@tacit wing try and compare that to the intellimouse Pro

sharp kindle
#

and then for mousepads its either a gsr se or a qck heavy

tacit wing
#

EC2 is a bit smaller than EC1

#

the picture i just posted the orange outline is the Intellimouse

amber oracle
#

the Pro is slightly different

tacit wing
#

oh yeah thats the pro version

amber oracle
#

:)

tacit wing
#

personally for me, smaller and lighter mice are easier to manage and flick

amber oracle
#

consider this

little crater
tacit wing
#

i feel more precise with it

sharp kindle
#

same

#

never going back to that g502 again

amber oracle
#

the Pro Intellimouse is "just" a Intellimouse from the 90's in new housing

#

just consider that little "detail" :)

tacit wing
#

im not too familiar with it but some folks from r/mousereview are putting 3389 sensors on their Intellimouse

#

so its still same PCB and sensor from the 90's?

amber oracle
#

sensor got updated

#

shape is the same

#

iirc that is

#

and @little crater that one was nice enough to use. but it is a PITA to use now

little crater
#

because its ps/2?

#

or

amber oracle
#

shape/feel

#

logitech owns the trackball market imo

#

i would not be using the G502 IF i could get a infinity scroll on a trackball

little crater
#

this stuff is for a build im doing, so im trying to stay period correct

amber oracle
#

"Genius" <- is a brand you might want to have a look at

sharp kindle
#

i only use the mx master 3 for office work

little crater
#

its gonna be the latest machine at a retro game convention i help with

amber oracle
#

thats pure mid/late 90's trackball company

little crater
#

oh they have some cool ones

amber oracle
#

Intellimouse Optical / Explorer are options for you too

#

aye, i had one of those Genius Trackballs

little crater
#

the pic of the connector isnt that great

#

is that a 9 pin or a game controller connector?

amber oracle
#

com port

little crater
#

ok

amber oracle
#

that

little crater
#

yeah, DB-9

#

so i can adapt it to usb with a converter when i want to lol

#

idk what the driver side of that is gonna look like tho

#

might be a mess on win 10

amber oracle
#

it should work okay-ish

#

@tacit wing i can highly recommend that you try and track down one of the original Intellimouse with the STM sensor

#

if for no other reason to have some context for where it all began (so to speak)

tacit wing
#

that shape is timeless. i haven't held one myself nor even an EC1 but its safe to say that its a point of reference for alot of ergo mice

#

the first shape i got familiar with was the SteelSeries Sensei Raw which was another mouse that was popular in the CS scene atm and ive been stuck with ambidextrous shapes since

timber ridge
#

is there a reason why model o's are flooding the market

#

the use market

tacit wing
#

well if its the one with the original cable its most likely broken

timber ridge
#

oof

tacit wing
#

but the units with their Ascended cable don't have notable QC issues as far as i know

#

maybe folks who preordered the wireless one and want to get rid of their old mouse

timber ridge
#

o ya thats one thing

#

i forgot about the wireless editoin

sharp kindle
#

also there are lots of new lightweight mice coming out

#

well notlots

#

but

#

some

tacit wing
#

i have my eye on Roccat Burst Pro and the new GPW

sharp kindle
#

same

tacit wing
#

Burst Pro looks like a Viper Mini competitor

sharp kindle
#

i really want a new gpw

tacit wing
#

have u seen Flamie using it

sharp kindle
#

yeah

#

and people at worlds using it

#

its a lot bigger than i thought

#

but thats prolly just camera angle

tacit wing
#

but its smaller than the first GPW no?

sharp kindle
#

theyre around the same size

#

but it looks bigger from the leaked photos lmao

tacit wing
#

the chinese leak says its 60% the size of the original one or something like that

sharp kindle
#

wait what

timber ridge
#

im waiting for a sale, but i know what mice i want lol

sharp kindle
#

that cant be right

tacit wing
#

idk the dimesions of the OG one

timber ridge
#

but if the superlight has improved switches, ima jus prob go with that

sharp kindle
#

didn't dr lupo show it on stream

#

i think that looked a bit small

#

but not 60 percent smaller

tacit wing
#

the Superlight HAS to be free of double-clicking

#

well not 60 percent smaller

sharp kindle
#

well no guarantees

tacit wing
#

its 60 percent the size of the orginial one

#

or so they say

sharp kindle
#

they also cant make the white version limited edition

#

if it is

#

im buying 10

#

and selling em on ebay

tacit wing
#

idk the dimensions of the OG GPW but it cant be any shorter than 5 inches in length right

sharp kindle
#

i doubt it

#

aight i gtg

tacit wing
#

cya

timber ridge
#

if the superlight is 150 ill consider it

#

bc the price of the viper mini and g903 combine is a about that price

tacit wing
#

it will be endgame for alot of people

#

especially the sweaty gamers

timber ridge
#

if it isnt plagued with double click issues

last plinth
#

wait its small?

#

Also @brisk parcel whats the difference between the stock ones and the mullards

brisk parcel
#

the stock ones are a bit flatter, less warm, not as wide

#

not to say they're bad by any means, but they aren't the best for a tube amp at this price

hasty vigil
#

Is it bad to buy a used mouse it is renewed from amazon and it was 15 dollars cheaper than the new version should i trust this or should i just wait to buy the new one

amber oracle
#

thats for you to decide

hasty vigil
#

i was more asking if i should take the gamble because mice have a finite life span and i wont be getting the manufacterer waranty

amber oracle
#

as i said, that for you to decide.

#

you are the one that has to use the result of that decision

hasty vigil
#

okay

calm cobalt
#

What corsair headset do y'all recommend?

#

Looking at the HS50 pro

sharp kindle

#

Hey guys i want a gaming chair and im deciding between the vertagear sl2000 and the noblechairs epic

#

Any suggestions?

normal barn
#

@brisk parcel @timber ridge @tacit wing

cunning hearth
#

XD

timber ridge
#

senti, i would rather pick an actual ergo chair

cunning hearth
#

Are the gaming chairs not ergonomic? I tried my friends and it felt rly good

timber ridge
#

ive had a gaming chair for a while now, kinda wished i got an actual ergo chair

#

they are somewhat not really imo

#

everyone's body type is differnt tho, so idk

cunning hearth
#

Well my chairs rn suck sooo imma go with the sl2000

#

Looks nice, looks comfy, has good reviews

timber ridge
#

oo nice

#

i might do a chair upgrade depending on it

#

i wanna get a nice mesh chair

cunning hearth
#

If my moms office chair was a bit more cushioned it would be great

#

Ur back feels so good cuz its mesh

#

But i feel like im gonna tip over if i lean too far back xD

timber ridge
#

yea theyre nice

#

idk why gaming chairsare so focused on bucket seats

#

only reason bucket seats exist to keep a driver secured in their seat, not really needed in gaming sessions lmao

sharp kindle
#

@cunning hearth ergo chairs > gaming chairs
