ur 18cm length right?
i can prob get bot mice
yea im like 18x10
if i round
no what
screw it, we balling
??
viper mini and g903
yessir
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
personally for me i find the 903 too big for me but more power to you if you do

wait WHAT
LMFAOOO
is that bad
might as well get a GPW
how much did u paid for urs meep
yea
i paid 30$ for my G305
GPW is notorious for double-clicking
And gpw is perfect for u aswell
g305 gang
ur hand size is mine
imagine spending big bucks on a mouse
G305 wireless best mouse hehe
But my length is lower
or model O wireless
By 1
yeah G305 is suitable for ur size too Lance
according to my friend Model O Wireless is the best thing since sliced bread
in fact i like the egg shape better than the Viper Mini
but the lighter weight made me main the Mini
oh make sure to buy a AAA battery
Viper Mini OP for Ftip
makes it feel sooo much better
wait the g503 isnt rechargable ?
bread is peasant food
G305 isnt
Bagles are kings food
oof
its double A normally
if thats a deal breaker for you stay with the 903
just buy a rechargable battery and stuff
is the 703 any good
lightweight mod
is the 703 any good
@timber ridge battery life is garbo
even with the hero sensor ?
borderline GPW according to peeps
the 703 uses the old hero sensor which isnt very efficient compared to the one with the 305
makes sense
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
ooo i was lookin at the wrong 305 the entire time
the batteries are a dealbreaker for me tbh
903 it is then
at that price point atleast
stick with ur orginal buy
the 203 is the wired version and its around the same price of the Viper Mini
did u decide yet @last plinth
i need someone elses opinion
honestly if someone can find a video of them being played side that would be neough
what side by side
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
are you using like raw switch comparisons or like full builds
bc there is a lot of factors if its full build
drop alt
@tacit wing yea double clicking is becoming more apparent now :(
any of you know anything about the drop hifiman HE4XX?
thinking about picking them up next
Wasnt a new one just released, like the he400i or something like that?
around 200usd i think
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?
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
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
i see someone selling for 130usd
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
Idk much about planars, just hear that it’s not for everyone lol
Reason: Mass mention
oh wait wrong mention ment to mention dino acciedntly click u instead
@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...
did someone @ me lol
7
ye u too cnt
are planetary magnetic headphones good
might invest in a
ananda
hi fi
or a
audeze
mobius
@last plinth i think he beats u ngl
what
what
wym beat
in indecisiveness
@normal barn the random @ are NOT appreciated.
Idk much in wireless headphones, but i do know that some people just stick a btr5 on headphones and boom.. wireless... kinda
I dont mind it, jus dont @ then delete the message or some
I dont mind getting @ either
You would just have to either put pack in your pocket or tape it to head xD
ye i k they dc about the @
now read the rest of their message @normal barn
read again.
@timber ridge and thx for the indecisvenss compliment
im like over 9000+ in the scale
not familiar with that headphone
and should i get black or reds, I hve red switches rn
Looks kind of gimmicky and i see some reviews saying it has bad build quality and design flaws
this keeb has gateron switches
blacks are literally just heavier reds nothing is worse or better than them besides the spring weight
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
Ya know what, i sell everything and get the arya’s instead xD
man
just listen to this
Recorded with an Audio Technica 4040 & Focusrite Scarlett Solo
Specs:
Drop Alt - no sound dampening foam
Box Whites (stock, no extra lube - it comes from factory with light lube in certain locations)
Clipped & lubed stock stabs (recommend replacing these)
Stock keycaps that co...
How could u not want box whites after that
i religiously hate clicky switches but those sound nice
if the high profile alt was cheaper i would of considered it
Should i get high profile
@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
@last plinth high profile isnt worth it
ok
@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
yup once i step into planar land with the Sundaras, i will settle down for a while
yeah I'm sure we're gonna be eating those words
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
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
suspensions straps
idk what they feel like
i feel like if i get these, ill have an urge to get a balanced amp as well 
it will never end
i could just get a headset and get a quest woth elite strap and cable
decided to drop some money on an ss3602
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
i know you got to get both to get the benefits of both
mm

new opamp sounds poggers
what i do not know is how i can determine which cans would benefit from a balanced output
treble percussion sounds actually good now
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
yeah lmao
you can play beat saber
and then go yell at some russians in csgo
thats the story of my life
cyka blyat
no hes saying i should focus on fps instead of vr
i mean if you wanna play vr go for it
also if ur playing fps games for fun dont sweat it 😉
@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"
your mind really strayed that direction when u read that word Naed 
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
well, i was in a 5 hour call with a bunch of people from that particular area of the states earlier today
¯_(ツ)_/¯
so i have heard all i need to of that particular dialect :)
cntrl. did you order a keeb yet
no
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

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
i think my 6xx took like 2-3 weeks, but i not sure. i was secretly tracking them
what are you planning to get from drop Lance?
was jus curious
i might have to get keycaps off their, keycaps for my layout is on the rare side
wut layout
75 isnt bad u just need some random 1u keys and a short r shift
yea the shorter shift aint that bad
but the keys on the very right
the pg up dn etc
u can just use any for those
usually are the wrong height
eh how many times are you really gonna use them :p
drop keycaps dont really have the best compatibility for non standard layouts in general
yea, theres some nice options on there
gonna use this keeb as an intro to building
prob gonna switch out the switches n stuff
What keycaps should i get for alt
that might be the most vague question you have asked
literally everything about keycaps is preference
a keyboard plebian like me have not tried anything outside of cherry profile
mt3 or bust
anime keycaps best
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
might put outemu skys in my current board when my new one comes
i reckon i wouldve built a KBD75v2 by now if i didnt get into audio
Dino
if i were to spend more money on something
Should I spend more money on dac or amp
issa hotswap 75 percent
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
get like a 1k dac+amp and then invest the rest
I should spend more money on a amp right
have u even decided on your headphones yet?
Assdrop huh
*massdrop
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
dont need to go too overkill for a first setup
i 4got about the atom
^
dont need to go too overkill for a first setup
@west hornet right you dont need no damn Valhalla
after this never again
lol
After i buy the stuff i cant get anything
sorry, vali 2
whats ld
much more scalable, can do tube rolling
i wouldnt invest on a hybrid amp tbh
link it
looks ugly
bor
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

I wanna flex on my friends with a pretty looking lightbulb
it needs to look gAmEr for it to appeal to cntrl
no not gamer
1 sec, lemme show you a pic of what I got
Swag
G A M I N G dac/amp
me?
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
nice, doubles as headphone stand
it does 😎
pls
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
I recommend these for the driver tubes:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/M8161-EF92-6065-CV4015-MULLARD-NOS-/310391381072
or these
https://www.amazon.com/Riverstone-Audio-Matched-Fully-Tested-Platinum/dp/B01BFJDTW0/ref=pd_bxgy_2/136-1565347-4856307?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01BFJDTW0&pd_rd_r=1382b3e7-cb52-40dd-b605-f5a30205fd15&pd_rd_w=3w6VA&pd_rd_wg=6V19l&pf_rd_p=ce6c479b-ef53-49a6-845b-bbbf35c28dd3&pf_rd_r=789R0W8E6NS99GAGHC7K&psc=1&refRID=789R0W8E6NS99GAGHC7K
either way you need a matched pair, so 2 of them
and for the power tubes, I'm buying these:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/6N6P-ECC99-E182CC-Russian-Double-Triode-Tube-Gold-Grid-Lot-of-4-NOS-TESTED-/322004247705
Wait do i need those
Are the stock ones bad or something
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
i’ll consider it in the future
it's an extra $20 man but ok lmao
dont know how 2 replace
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
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
for sure, just let us know ❤️
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
i dont wanna buy anything via ebay
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
dont ask why
Which ones do i get
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
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
Why is it on gbp
i missed a deal from this guy from the UK selling his 4xx for 125 USD shipped
ooooof
but i wanted Sundaras and im firm on that
^
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
this price is pretty tempting as well
yup
ok
@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
im down to test headphones that have a wider sound
but think ima stay strictly close back
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
https://open.spotify.com/track/18zKqsovahMB4nPzRi94ag?si=P_9Alq6qQQel7k0b85SIWw i am not into this type of music but this recording has STELLAR soundstage

OOOH
ever since i got into audio stuff im more finicky with how tracks are mastered and what not
and how i realized how some of my favorite songs are mixed like crap
got any more of these?
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
i might invest in open back for my second set
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
oh ok
yea i def want open back eventually, but i think my first pair are gonna be close
yeah they leak sound but it's like anything else, after 5-6ft it's audibile but not recognizable
yeah I gotcha
i only stop listening to the songs that really bother me, sadly some good ones 😔
free flac files 

my foobar looks very empty i kinda admit
i always look for new stuff
i did a blind listen test and i cant differentiate 320 kbps mp3 vs FLAC
just got genshin soundtrack 
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
idk either
I'm def switching to tidal soon
can use my student discount
$10/mo for crazy better sound quality
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
That's fiar
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4MkmJtcKMRtrrB1LQRdlbJ?si=YC2GqashQ7qMp5xvm6_-fQ not much but it's a start 🙂
just made this lmao
oo i have a playlist for testing as well 
if i had playlist for testing it would be a mess haha, many completely different genre

feel free to give it and my other playlists a follow as well, been trying to get a few people to notice that I actually make playlists for certain things
some of these look familiar
from lofi beats to study relax to
i always listen to that playlist
I hand-pick all my lofi songs
I don't really like a lot of them, I prefer some of the more chill ones
but I can imagine they're all on there yeah, I try to look for ones well known and not so well known
God the Maxence Cyrin Pixies piece brings back memories
also just saying, idk what it is but the PIANO on these cans with this config
could legit cry
i had sad piano piece somewhere
😢
only mp3 tho
Midnight City was our graduation song from highschool, alot of these are throwbacks for me Ninj
that is my goal cntrl, to make you cry with how good this all sounds
lmao dino
I just graduated HS this year
still 18
fresh outta HS baby

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/24cLFZw1tw4euEsRjjwMBM?si=5fcMrhjYS4O5wNhZwyTxFA this is my list i started like 2 weeks ago

😂
Spending 613$ for audio
from what i have noticed, movie soundtracks are always mastered beautifully
without fail
oooh what you getting? and @tacit wing POINT
if it doesnt make me cry im throwing it in the trash man
you will cry
ok
if you don't you're a heartless human being
Plus a 70$ mic and 40$ fan
i love the soundtracks from movies like harry potter, sorcerer's apprentice, sherlock holmes, pirates of the caribbean, murder on the orient express
i love Hans Zimmer

i saw Ramin Djawadi live, which is the guy who made Game of Thrones soundtrack
Hans Zimmer 
i wanna see Zimmer once in my lifetime because i got chills when i heard this in the theater https://open.spotify.com/track/2gM5SPRqJD7brzw2mbZE7D?si=fcZg6WNTRb6EbTTJ4oTx-w
the only i saw live was first harry potter soundtrack in Lincoln Center which i thought was amazing
https://open.spotify.com/track/05UMQXFCsa9oPnLgfJHVyF?si=mopP1bKDR-evtYCqk9OVIw also cant forget about this theme
assassins creed good too
i know i have some from rogue, i cant remember the others
im only familiar with his music from the Nolan films, Gladiator and Lion King
he apparently scored MW2 too 
finally finished my midterms
but odst had some really good stuff
these are really good for the price rn

@amber oracle whats your favorite soundtrack out of all the halo games?
im so hyped for glorious model o wireless and g pro wireless ultralight
g pro wireless ultralight is gonna be double the price probably tho so imma get the model o wireless and im already used to it
around $150 im guessing
i mean im not upgrading any time soon ill chill with my g703
i got it for like 20$ 
lmfao
lol just get like the steelseries wireless one
always in like 1v1 clutch or 1v3 and
or g703
then my mouse cable sneaks under me
need light
ye
what kinda paracord u rocking
lol so i cant speak in terms of gaming
that goes under ur mouse lol
my paracord is so good
honestly i forgot which one lol
its actually made of a rare materail
i run low sens
is it stock?
no
i bought a paracord to try and help the problem, it helped but still happens
i tried a mouse bungee too
lol wait what game is this for btw
the paracord is viper mini is alright
i run 800 dpi 0.56 on Val
low sens + light mouse = mouse whipping around everywhere and cable goes crazy
.25 800dpi on val
lol i only have 2 solo wins
but i stopped playing that game and went back to CS
cs looks fun but its hard
i played DM since cs was free before i got a gpu lol
its the only game i can see myself to put as much hours as i have in CSGO
deathmatch

cuz my aim is bad
imagine

val has shotguns too >:)
but they bad
im hardstuck plat 3 😭
they nerfed a lot of shotguns like two updates ago
mainly the headshot aim punch and they nerfed jump accuracy, upped judge price etc
@timber ridge why? i own all those soundtracks, that was just copy/pastes directly from the database
model o wireless looks p good
yea
and to share them 🙂 @amber oracle
only thing that kinda sux is the 71hr battery w rgb off
but at least it comes with a supposedly good cable to use while charging
true
the last time i played Killjoy wasnt even in the game
i was hardstuck diamond 3 in beta as well
never played beta
i just charge overnight
my friend told me there was 13 rounds to win and iw as like NVM
and i tried it and ended up loving it
its 16 in csgo 
oh, i meant like specific song
silver 3 in act 1 p3 now
not the whole soundtrack
pog
i was one game from d1 twice this act but
one time we had a phoenix afk from beginning of game and we dragged it to a 11-13 4v5
easy win if it were 5v5
;/
and he afkd after the window to do /remake so lost elo for no reason

@tacit wing csgo is the game you grind rage quit and grind again
have we not talked about this before Sassy?
i dont think so
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
csgo the game i will always come back to just because its been with me deadass my entire life
i spent many a evening with mates playing it on the org xbox
same bro same
didnt play alot of 1.6 but majority of my adolescence i played Source
was too young to remember playing the og halo
and i played with a trackman :)
think i started off on halo 2 or 3
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
Faceit servers feel smooth
free from hackers too
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.
you guys might laugh at that mouse
like 2001-2002
i think the go-to mouse for cs back then was the mx518
but the reaction time on it is silly high
it was
with the dented helmet look
no need to move the mouse
I’ve never used those nice xD
trackball mice just arent for me
just flick your thumb
Only the ones with trackball underneath
@little crater that would have been strictly in the microsoft era then
i used to play super high sens at 1600 dpi and now i transitioned to arm aiming and it changed everything 
their mouse and keyboards reigned fairly surpreme at the time
same dino same
I feel like I’d prefer a wireless trackpad if I needed pc but no room to move mouse
i used to have like w0xic sens
ok thx for the info
with 0.79 zoom
intellimouse ... something something @little crater
used to play that sens last year but i got a full on desk mat so now i play even lower
and i believe they did a bundle with that at the time, and that keyboard was just what you used
but i up'd my dpi to 800 with ingame sens of 0.85 which is the same as 400 1.7
thats understandable
it was just not a question.
huh
less pixel skipping
interesting
Smerth do u play stretched?
yep
you know Kjaerbye from FaZe
and he has a 3090

originally it was a ps2 based one
guess where zowie copied the shape from :)
Zowie EC1
oh crap really
i missed typed
that one is from back in the 90's or so
3080 i meant
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
Compare gaming mice shapes in 1:1 scale.
thx
which is why i still firmly believe that people are silly when they say that microsoft cannot design good hardware
very useful to make reference with the mouse u have owned currently
i am sorry internet, but you have bugger all idea about what you are talking about :)
the EC2 is still the most popular mouse among csgo pros
@tacit wing try and compare that to the intellimouse Pro
and then for mousepads its either a gsr se or a qck heavy
EC2 is a bit smaller than EC1
the picture i just posted the orange outline is the Intellimouse
the Pro is slightly different
:)
personally for me, smaller and lighter mice are easier to manage and flick
consider this
aside from the fact that it needs some cleaning, this actually looks somewhat comfortable to use https://www.ebay.com/itm/Microsoft-Intellimouse-Trackball-Mouse-Serial-PS-2-Compatible-X03-09209/283965182783
i feel more precise with it
the Pro Intellimouse is "just" a Intellimouse from the 90's in new housing
just consider that little "detail" :)
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?
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
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
this stuff is for a build im doing, so im trying to stay period correct
"Genius" <- is a brand you might want to have a look at
i only use the mx master 3 for office work
its gonna be the latest machine at a retro game convention i help with
thats pure mid/late 90's trackball company
oh they have some cool ones
Intellimouse Optical / Explorer are options for you too
aye, i had one of those Genius Trackballs
the pic of the connector isnt that great
is that a 9 pin or a game controller connector?
com port
ok
that
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
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)
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
well if its the one with the original cable its most likely broken
oof
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
i have my eye on Roccat Burst Pro and the new GPW
same
Burst Pro looks like a Viper Mini competitor
i really want a new gpw
have u seen Flamie using it
yeah
and people at worlds using it
its a lot bigger than i thought
but thats prolly just camera angle
but its smaller than the first GPW no?
wait what
im waiting for a sale, but i know what mice i want lol
that cant be right
idk the dimesions of the OG one
but if the superlight has improved switches, ima jus prob go with that
didn't dr lupo show it on stream
i think that looked a bit small
but not 60 percent smaller
well no guarantees
they also cant make the white version limited edition
if it is
im buying 10
and selling em on ebay
idk the dimensions of the OG GPW but it cant be any shorter than 5 inches in length right
cya
if the superlight is 150 ill consider it
bc the price of the viper mini and g903 combine is a about that price
if it isnt plagued with double click issues
wait its small?
Also @brisk parcel whats the difference between the stock ones and the mullards
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
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
thats for you to decide
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
as i said, that for you to decide.
you are the one that has to use the result of that decision
okay
@calm cobalt whats your budget
i mean if you want reccomendations ask some of the audiophiles here
Hey guys i want a gaming chair and im deciding between the vertagear sl2000 and the noblechairs epic
Any suggestions?
XD
senti, i would rather pick an actual ergo chair
Are the gaming chairs not ergonomic? I tried my friends and it felt rly good
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
Well my chairs rn suck sooo imma go with the sl2000
Looks nice, looks comfy, has good reviews
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
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
@cunning hearth ergo chairs > gaming chairs
