[timber ridge]

[last plinth]

[brisk parcel]

and very new to it all

and that's why we're helping you

[last plinth]

thats a lot of money

And im 13

[tacit wing]

[brisk parcel]

^

[last plinth]

I told my dad

[tacit wing]

youll never know they wont bat an eye

[last plinth]

3800 is fine right?

[tacit wing]

[brisk parcel]

depends

[last plinth]

he said yes

[brisk parcel]

well

[tacit wing]

NICE PARENTS

[last plinth]

but still

[timber ridge]

i wish i had that budget bruh

[brisk parcel]

what does the rest of your list look like

[last plinth]

I feel kinda bad

[brisk parcel]

do you have a pcpartpicker list or something?

[tacit wing]

they wouldve whooped my ass when i say 3800

[last plinth]

Yea

[brisk parcel]

can you DM me that list so I can have a look?

[timber ridge]

my budget is only high when its school related lmao

[last plinth]

yep

[brisk parcel]

alright I'll have a look and see if I can help you save money in places

[timber ridge]

maybe the gmk keycaps gotta sit out lmao

[tacit wing]

Ninj will build a list where the audio setup will cost more than the PC itself

[last plinth]

Also i revised my list like at least 6 times

i dont have gmk keycaps in my list lmao

[timber ridge]

oof

the drop cntrl or whatever you picked is p expensive

for a keeb ngl

[elder remnant]

his entire list is going to be expensive

overly expensive

[timber ridge]

true

[west hornet]

200 is fine for headphones

[last plinth]

Well someone told me to get drop alt

[west hornet]

and something in that range like the sennheisers or beyerdynamics are good for most people, other want more

[tacit wing]

any price is fine if you value audio so highly

[timber ridge]

the drop alt is good, but if youre concern with spending too much its something to consider

there is a lot of good keebs around 100

[west hornet]

true, even 30usd koss headphones are more than enough for many xD

[timber ridge]

koss is best bang for the buck if you can get past the design

[tacit wing]

Koss is god tier

[west hornet]

ya i know many people say porta pro look like janitor headphones haha

[tacit wing]

curious to what Electrostatic cans sounds like

95x Koss looks very interesting

budget Stax

[timber ridge]

if i didnt have to buy a chair, i would of prob got a dac/amp

[west hornet]

wooden chair gang 😎

[tacit wing]

u made a good choice,ergonomics is important

[timber ridge]

im on a metal foldable rn lmao

[west hornet]

oof that hurt

[timber ridge]

but my chair comes tomorrow so gg

[tacit wing]

https://tenor.com/view/masato-tanaka-mike-awesome-wwe-ecw-one-night-stand-gif-12307272

[timber ridge]

but should i get jus a dac first or amp too

[tacit wing]

get a mouse first

ur current one is dying

[timber ridge]

yea thats already gonna happen for sure

ima get a viper mini

[west hornet]

well you need dac and amp unless you have one already

[timber ridge]

unless there is a sale

but im kinda clueless when it comes to dac and amps

[tacit wing]

this how i rank peripherals with how i value them. mice > audio > ergonomics > keebs

but im kinda clueless when it comes to dac and amps
@timber ridge what part confuses you?

[timber ridge]

like what is good

and if i need both or not

[tacit wing]

i was clueless at first but when my Stack came in the mail it was actually really simple

well you can get both dac+amp in one unit

[timber ridge]

when i was gonna get into it a while back i think i was looking at the atom and modi 3

[tacit wing]

K5 Pro and iFi Zen Dac are less daunting to beginners

the price is more attractive than atom or schiit stack

[timber ridge]

ooo

[tacit wing]

also Zen Dac has balanced outputs

4.4 pentaconn

[timber ridge]

kinda scared to get into it too, bc i know the second i do, everything is gonna start sounding trash

[tight pulsar]

@tacit wing imma beat u for that list keyboard and mouse should be swapped

[tacit wing]

i know keeb enthusiasts will come for my ass

[west hornet]

motu m2 headphone out, rca out, balanced trs out, xlr in, amp, dac, adc

[tacit wing]

[brisk parcel]

mans is spending $3800 on a PC and only getting this for a monitor...
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XT6XQ6V?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

I will return after I make and eat my dinner

[tacit wing]

also i was in the verge of building a KBD75v2 but then i got into audio

LMFAO

the XL2546 is actually the gold standard for esports panels, the DyAc on it totally eliminates ghosting

[last plinth]

yes

[tacit wing]

but you dont need a 3800 system to drive it most certainly

[last plinth]

true

but im tryna get 240hz u know?

might move to other games

[tacit wing]

assuming ur playing competitive games like Valorant, Fortnite, CSGO. you dont need to have ur system at that price point wtf

[last plinth]

no im gonna play other games

[tacit wing]

i can drive all those games over 240 fps with my 2060

[last plinth]

I decided not to get some games because i couldnt run it at the time

[timber ridge]

wait 3800 jus for the pc?

not the whole setup?

[last plinth]

I had a evga 960 and a i5

whole setup 3800

[timber ridge]

oh ok

i was bouta say lmao

[last plinth]

i would never

unless i was getting e090

3090

[timber ridge]

how is ur pc alone

under 2000?

[tacit wing]

cntrl you dont need alot of power for esports titles

[last plinth]

listen

Im not gonna just play esports titles

[tacit wing]

if you play Triple A titles on that panel and your GPU is a monster that is a HUGE bottleneck

[timber ridge]

wheres the partlist

[last plinth]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nKsxGq

Might get zen 3 depending on availibility and benchmarks

[timber ridge]

bruh what do u need the i9 for

[last plinth]

gamer

[timber ridge]

you can save a lot in cpu, mb and gpu

a 3070 will play any game

[tacit wing]

yup unless youre getting another panel that is 2K or 4K then youll really make use of that 3080 to its potential

[timber ridge]

and for the m.2

silicon power seems kinda eh

[tacit wing]

3080 plus a 1080 panel is kinda

[timber ridge]

a good budget m.2 is the team group mp34

yea

[last plinth]

Why no a80

[timber ridge]

if youre getting a3080,you should be at 1440p 144hz minimum

idk i could be wrong

[tacit wing]

yes

[timber ridge]

but if you wanna save some bucks the m.2 i recommend is really good

for the price

[last plinth]

A80 is lower price than mp34

And has better write/read speeds

[timber ridge]

nvm then

jus something about silicon power that makes me think its bad or some

[little crater]

SP is a fine brand

[last plinth]

again

[timber ridge]

im jus use to seeing their ssds fail

but m.2 could be dif

[little crater]

you are used to seeing specific models of theirs fail

[last plinth]

Whether i go intel or amd is up to benchmarks

[little crater]

not all SP drives in general

[timber ridge]

true

[tacit wing]

the amount of money cntrl will spend on his system will total the amount i spent on DoorDash the last few months

[limber sandal]

Anyone recommend a 27 inch monitor for under 200 dollars?

[clear kettle]

hey

does anyone know a good 60% gaming keyboard under $50 usd

[timber ridge]

gk61

and most 27 in 144hz monitor is 200 exactly

[fallen atlas]

does anyone know a good 60% gaming keyboard under $50 usd
@clear kettle GK61

[timber ridge]

@tacit wing the viper mini is p nice

i jus needa get use to having my pinkie a bit higher up

[tacit wing]

POG

[timber ridge]

yeye

[tacit wing]

best 40 dollars youll ever spend

[timber ridge]

i noticed i my pinkie is more relaxed in fingertip grip than norm ppl

so i jus gotta hold it up a tad bit high

higher*

[tacit wing]

did u bust it out the box to try it out lol

[timber ridge]

yea lmao

i can actually click and drag now

[fallen atlas]

i have a glorious model D and i love it it was worth the money

[timber ridge]

nice

ima prob get one more for like uh

casual use

[tacit wing]

[timber ridge]

bc the viper mini is like strictly fingertip grip

[tacit wing]

viper mini is like 100% a try hard mouse

[timber ridge]

yea lmao

[tacit wing]

yeah anything but ftip is uncomfortable for me

[fallen atlas]

yeah 68g mouse that cost 80$ isnt really casual use

[tacit wing]

nah its 40

[timber ridge]

i think my desk is unbalanced

[cunning hearth]

@trim parrot u can drag on viper mini??

[fallen atlas]

dang i overpayed

[timber ridge]

and i can casually use the norm viper

[fallen atlas]

it was worth it

[cunning hearth]

Wait wrong person xD

[timber ridge]

bc its bigger

[cunning hearth]

@timber ridge u can drag on viper mini?

I thought razer added dc prevention

[timber ridge]

im not sure

i havent tested anything yet lmao

[tacit wing]

what are yall talking about

[cunning hearth]

He said he could drag above

i can actually click and drag now
@lance...#0861

[timber ridge]

o my old mouse was broken

[tacit wing]

nah its bc his old mouse has switch issues

[timber ridge]

and couldnt hold a long click lmao

but i needa fix my desk

[cunning hearth]

Ohhh i thought u meant drag clicking

[timber ridge]

it makes my monitor wobble when i move my mouse

[cunning hearth]

Oof it’s probably not balanced

[tacit wing]

what desk do you have?

[timber ridge]

yea

[cunning hearth]

Imo model o is more worth it than viper mini

[timber ridge]

a cheap gamer one

[brisk parcel]

[timber ridge]

but i am on dual monitor arms

so it could be that

[brisk parcel]

[tacit wing]

Viper Mini quality control is better tbh but both are optimized for fingertip

[cunning hearth]

[tacit wing]

i own both and my Model has more creaking

[cunning hearth]

I use claw its more comfortable than fingertip

[timber ridge]

i re tried the rival 600 and the fit isnt bad

[brisk parcel]

[cunning hearth]

And fingertip isnt that much faster

[timber ridge]

idk what happend the first time i tried it

[tacit wing]

well everyone has different grip styles

not everyone is like u

[cunning hearth]

Mhm

[timber ridge]

but the g903 is really nice for my hand

so that is gonna be the second mouse

[cunning hearth]

G903?

[timber ridge]

yup

if the viper was a bit taller or wider it would fit perfect, but its not bad at all for me

viper mini*

[cunning hearth]

Mhm

My hands are big

7” from base to tip

Should i get model o or o-

[tacit wing]

o-

anything over 18 cm regular O

[timber ridge]

think ups is delaying my monitor

nothing new

[tacit wing]

if the viper was a bit taller or wider it would fit perfect, but its not bad at all for me
@timber ridge XM1 has more of an ass but at the same size as the V Mini

great support for claw

[timber ridge]

tru but i was sticking under 50

i think my other option was the rival 3

but i can get use to this super easily

i jus have to change my grip slightly

[tacit wing]

i honestly wouldnt buy a wired mouse with no stock paracord or PTFE feet on it

which is the Rival 3

[timber ridge]

ya

i like theviper

[tacit wing]

yup the Mini is the best value around its price range

you get so much for so little price

[timber ridge]

makes the reg viper seem overpriced almost

40 dollar jump

[tacit wing]

for 10 dollars more, you wouldnt get alot with the Model O-

[timber ridge]

and u get less features

[tacit wing]

ive binned it ever since i got the mini

well the regular Viper is for people over 18cm hands

its a way more fitting size

but it is ridiculous that it is a 40 dollar jump like idgi

[timber ridge]

i like the size of the reg viper, but if ima save 40 for essentially the same thing plus some then its hard to skip the mini

[tacit wing]

i just realized that

the regular viper is double the price of the mini wtf

[timber ridge]

yea its insane

and with my old mouse, i had a hard time doing trash task in among us lmao

[tacit wing]

who tf in Razer are pricing these mice LMAO

[timber ridge]

my mouse wouldnt let me

the reg viper should be like 60

they would sell more at thatprice

[tacit wing]

yup the regular viper and mini is pretty much a Model O/O- competitor

theyre in direct competition honestly

but not a big fan of mice with holes on it tbh

id gladly trade out my O- for an FK2

[timber ridge]

i dont like the cutout design

ik its for performance and not looks

but idk

[tacit wing]

59g vs. 62g is not noticeable

if Razer can do 62g on a mouse with no holes, honey-comb design is just being lazy at this point imo

i honestly dont mind the design, but its not exactly innovative, we have seen it time and time again

[clear kettle]

im getting the steel seires rival 3 mouse have any of u used if so whats ur opinon

[timber ridge]

the viper mini is 10 more

[sharp kindle]

@clear kettle wouldnt reccomend the rival 3

[timber ridge]

if you play w fingertip grip go with the mini

[last plinth]

I have rival 3

[clear kettle]

it good

or nah

[last plinth]

it is

[sharp kindle]

its ok

[last plinth]

but mine had problems in like a month

[sharp kindle]

get the viper mini as lance said

[last plinth]

Probaly just mine tho

[sharp kindle]

viper mini is 10 bucks more and better

[last plinth]

Viper mini is better

[clear kettle]

if mine breaks in the first month ill probely get viper mini

[last plinth]

Just get a viper mini now

[sharp kindle]

[last plinth]

???

[sharp kindle]

worth it trust me

yeah why get a worse mouse

[last plinth]

yea viper mini is like s tier

For its price

[sharp kindle]

when you can just save up 10 bucks more to get a mouse

with ptfe feet

[clear kettle]

i was straped for cash

[sharp kindle]

i mean

[last plinth]

Then get a gpw

[sharp kindle]

and get cash back

[sharp kindle]

bruh

ok

[last plinth]

lmao

[tacit wing]

rip

[sharp kindle]

F

[tacit wing]

its so much value for 40 bucks

[sharp kindle]

^^

[clear kettle]

[sharp kindle]

[daring zenith]

close nuff

[last plinth]

waytoodAnk

[amber oracle]

About what this time @brisk parcel ?

[timber ridge]

groupbuy for this is up if anyone is interested https://boardsource.xyz/store/5f798b7689885d746fcb2dbb

[trim coral]

anyone know why the audio on my headset has balance issues
the right side seems to have lower volume

the thing is I tried using on my phone and it seemed perfectly fine
I notice the problem when I plug it on my PC

[amber oracle]

Check that your mini jack is all the way in @trim coral

[trim coral]

I pushed it all the way in already

[amber oracle]

Front or back connector?

[trim coral]

Back

[amber oracle]

Hm

[trim coral]

but I use Hyper X cloud II so it has its own USB thingy

[amber oracle]

Ah, nothing can help you on that

Why it behaves differently on one platform is some you have to take up with the manufacturer

[trim coral]

I just noticed it now it wasnt like this before

Ive been using it for over a year

[amber oracle]

Remove the driver for it on the windows side of things and try again

[trim coral]

how do I do that specifically for this headset?

[amber oracle]

Not much else that can be the reason.
Unless you have been poking at settings that you should not be touching in the first place

Re: driver: while the device is plugged in, device manager can show it to you. So just uninstall it from there. Then replug the usb plug.

[trim coral]

yeah it ddnt do anything
still the volume aint balance on PC

[amber oracle]

Refer to what I said earlier ☺

[brisk parcel]

right about cntrl almost changing his mind again

morning btw, it's about 9 for me lmao

[amber oracle]

Ah yes ☺ @brisk parcel

14:00 here

[brisk parcel]

2 pm, bruh

time zones are fun

[cunning hearth]

Its 9 here

[brisk parcel]

alright I've got fam coming for brunch at 12 so I gotta get ready for that

ayyy east coast gang

[cunning hearth]

Naed u live in Europe?

[brisk parcel]

[brisk parcel]

you should learn to be like buter from "the boys" Naed

you could totally sound like him too

[cunning hearth]

XDD

[brisk parcel]

I mean I'm not wrong

[trim coral]

@amber oracle fixed it

for some reason the balance was way off
the right was at 33 and I ddnt even touch it

[tight pulsar]

yeah naed lives in like denmark or smth

[cunning hearth]

Mhm

[daring zenith]

yes

[amber oracle]

@brisk parcel thick accent? holy heck lad,

you aint heard anything yet

[west hornet]

[brisk parcel]

lmao fair

[hasty vigil]

my friend aint no audiophile but he cares about audio quality and he needs a 40 dollar gaming headset with some decent audio quality and mic quality

[clever zenith]

Is that a joke?

[hasty vigil]

no

actually nevermind he found his old gaming headset that works

[west hornet]

honestly the best you can get is something like kph30i or i think the ksc75x has a in line mic

[timber ridge]

any recommendations for a good cheap extended mouse pad

or custom one where you can upload an image

[sharp kindle]

[strange kernel]

i dunno where to post so imma ask here

my corsair icue isn't working

context: i've had a corrsair k95 for about 3-4 years now, and I've just downloaded icue software and it doesn't show up

I've done some minor troubleshooting, but nothing too serious

can someone help with this please?

[hazy fiber]

Best off calling Corsair, they can step you through some troubleshooting, help you replace the firmware, and open an RMA if it's bad

[sly axle]

im seriously concerned

\

[amber oracle]

@sly axle talk with your ISP

[sharp kindle]

when ur upload faster than ur download lmao

[tacit wing]

like you can upload ur image
@sharp kindle i dont think its custom like that

its custom in a sense where u can build ur own design like its Microsoft Clip art, its pretty stupid

any recommendations for a good cheap extended mouse pad
@timber ridge InkedGaming pad

very similar glide to the Zowie GSR-SE

[timber ridge]

thx

[sharp kindle]

@tacit wing oh ok

nvm

im stupid

[cunning pewter]

Is the Model O- Mouse good

[tacit wing]

Is the Model O- Mouse good
@cunning pewter if your hand is under 18cm in length and you fingertip, yes its good

over 18cm go for regular O

[cunning pewter]

@cunning pewter if your hand is under 18cm in length and you fingertip, yes its good
@tacit wing Okay is it smooth if I game with it

[tacit wing]

yes it has PTFE mouse skates so it has a smooth glide if thats what u mean by smooth

[cunning pewter]

Okay

Ty

[sharp kindle]

its really smooth

i can bac that up

i have the model o

[cunning pewter]

Yeah I heard its really light too

[sharp kindle]

as long as you dont use it on a hard pad ur good

yep it is really light

[cunning pewter]

Ok

Thx

[sharp kindle]

if you use it on a hard pad the mouse skates will start wearing down

np

[tacit wing]

idk how anyone can have any sense of control gaming on a hard pad

its too fast

[sharp kindle]

well if you play games like cod a hard pad is good

[tacit wing]

its hard to land on heads with hard pads

i can see that

my crosshair placement on CS would be horrible

[sharp kindle]

yep

i cant imagine using a hard pad for cs

qck or bust

[amber oracle]

meh! youngsters!

icemat or bust

:P

[sharp kindle]

whats an icemat?

[amber oracle]

what?

serious?

[sharp kindle]

i search it up and the second image is a steelseries logo

actually serious

[tacit wing]

is it one of those old pads that were popular back in the day like the PureTrak Talent

[amber oracle]

its quite literally a slab of glass

its just about the worst thing to drop on your toes

[sharp kindle]

oh

ouch

k gotcha

[amber oracle]

https://cdn.alzashop.com/Foto/f3/MR/MR078d.jpg

they can look quite distinct thou

[tacit wing]

they still make something similar to those

https://lethalgaminggear.com/collections/skypad/products/skypad-glass-2-0-blue-pre-order

looks too fast for me

[amber oracle]

i mainly use that one, because clear glass table here

and i am NOT a fps gamer :)

as in, i can play them just fine, but i dont care enough to worry about it in that way :)

and sorry for derail :)

[sharp kindle]

yeah ik about the skypad glass

[tacit wing]

have u guys ever heard of the Glipad, its about the same as any glass pads that we just posted on here

except its 800 dollars

[amber oracle]

nope

well, i might have been told about it, then laughed and forgotten about it

thats generally what happens with snake oil products

[tacit wing]

mouse go BRRRR on a mousepad now all the kids want it

[strange kernel]

fortnite kids are the best at hyping overpriced crap up lmao

[last plinth]

Is it even that good

whats it made out of

[tacit wing]

no u will play like 💩

[last plinth]

Lmao nvm then

[tacit wing]

no control, no stopping power whatsoever

[last plinth]

actual skating rink for mice

[tacit wing]

you cant stop your mouse on a dime to land a shot on a pad that fast

[strange kernel]

lmao imagine you do a flick shot and accidentally jump on top of your pc

[tacit wing]

its just meant to look flashy

imo

[strange kernel]

mhmm

[tacit wing]

thats generally what happens with snake oil products
@amber oracle

[amber oracle]

:)

[west hornet]

lol

[last plinth]

Wait most games dont depend on single core performance anymore right? Because of multithreaded rendering

[tight pulsar]

are snake oil cables bad or something cause if so ill note that for when i get my stack

[tacit wing]

PYST Snake Oil isn't bad but there are alot of "Snake Oil" audio cables that is plaguing the market

well not exactly plaguing but its floating around there somewhere

@tight pulsar

PYST just unironically named their cables Snake Oil just for the memes i guess

[clear kettle]

im getting the razer viper mini have any of u used it if so did u like it

[tight pulsar]

ah okay i was probably gonna get it from schiit so i dont have a bunch of packages from different websites and pretty sure theirs are pyst

[west hornet]

schiit branding great

[tacit wing]

im getting the razer viper mini have any of u used it if so did u like it
@clear kettle yes

[clear kettle]

ok

[tacit wing]

if you fingertip, its pretty much endgame @clear kettle

atleast for me

also if your hands are under 18cm its perfect

if its over 18cm i recommend the regular viper or viper ultimate

but the mini comes with stock paracord and PTFE feet for 40 dollars so its better value

[sharp kindle]

^^

amazing mouse for 40 bucks

[clear kettle]

ok i have smaall hands so yea

[hazy fiber]

Anyone have music player recommendations for windows? I have and like foobar2000 but I want queue features

please don't say iTunes

[amber oracle]

there is a queue plugin for it

[hazy fiber]

Oh, there is?

[amber oracle]

aye

2sec

you can see it there

let me just grab the link for it too

[hazy fiber]

Sweet, thanks

[amber oracle]

http://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=Foobar2000:Components/Queue_Contents_Editor_(foo_queuecontents)

[west hornet]

there are a ton of plugins for foobar

that why it so great

[hazy fiber]

Grrr, I hate windows apps. I don't have permission to add the component file on my own bleeping computer

Just let me do what I want Windows!

[hazy fiber]

I don't suppose anyone knows of a plugin to show the correct cover art?

I always get this cover:

Ooop, figured it out, nvm

[amber oracle]

that says more about your id3 tags @hazy fiber

[hazy fiber]

It was just taking a cover image for a playlist from the folder

[west hornet]

could also be if you had it selected, default is to show info of selected song i believe

[hazy fiber]

Which takes priority over embedded

[amber oracle]

depends on settings @hazy fiber :)

and depends on folder structure

[west hornet]

could be this https://i.imgur.com/LCbJXyO.png

[hazy fiber]

Yeah, thanks 🙂

[timber ridge]

secured the bag

[tacit wing]

[timber ridge]

it was on sale

im so tempted to build a keeb bc the group sale is up

im resisting buying randomfrankp's nk65 entry

i wanna get it so bad

[tacit wing]

the topography design looks clean

[upper prism]

I need help RMA'ing a Thrustmaster T16000, the emailed reply was slow and unresponsive

[timber ridge]

we dont really hve control of that

[sharp kindle]

yea...

[amber oracle]

@upper prism have actual patience and talk with the actual customer service reps

all of the people here are here as volunteers.

[upper prism]

Actually I posted long before the epidemic

[timber ridge]

It sucks that they arent responding, but we're just normal consumers too

[upper prism]

Kind regards,
Your Thrustmaster Customer Support Agent, Mark
http://support.thrustmaster.com

Your message:
my controller is broken and spins in one direction only,
is it possible to repair it.

Other details:
Platform: PC
Request from product page: T.16000M FCS (en)

[timber ridge]

they never responded?

[tacit wing]

honestly wouldnt expect anything from a company called Thrustmaster

[brisk parcel]

I saw all of you typing 👀

that was my nickname in high school

LMAO

[timber ridge]

did u try this https://support.thrustmaster.com/en/contact-en/?p=T.16000M FCS

[upper prism]

What I got was a lame response about how to test the controller in the windows device manager properties, something I knew how to do decades ago.

Re: [http://support.thrustmaster.com/en] Spare parts [862622-1601957164]

[amber oracle]

when you posted, and when you didnt. Does not change the fact that none of us here can move your actual case along.

[upper prism]

yeah yeah, the company requested I return the controller to Newegg

[amber oracle]

then talk with the customer service department.

[upper prism]

It was purchased back in 2018 I'll email the seller for laughs but that's about it.

[amber oracle]

buy parts with better warranty

[upper prism]

Btw I don't believe anyone here actually represents Newegg in any capacity

[tacit wing]

maybe dm one of the staff?

[last plinth]

┬─┬ ノ( ゜-゜ノ)

[upper prism]

replacing it will cost me $116.87 more than it originally retailed for.

[tacit wing]

you want to fight them

[upper prism]

I blame Flight Simulator and Covid 19

https://www.newegg.com/black-thrustmaster-t16000m-fcs-hotas-joystick-throttle/p/N82E16826280080

Yes I am a Star Wars Star Fighter junky and ace pilot

[cursive marsh]

Hotasf

[upper prism]

consider the T16000 entry level hotas

[amber oracle]

@tacit wing no. sending a DM to a staff is NOT the answer for customer service requests. Aside from @fallow glacier. Because that one IS a person working for newegg.

[upper prism]

There was a aftermarket Russian fighter stick add on I wanted to try but that was getting too expensive

[tacit wing]

good to know

so the other person besides NeweggService actually doesnt work for Newegg?

theres only two guys

[amber oracle]

there are more

you just dont see them

they do, but they are here for other reasons

[west hornet]

service is the only one that takes requests

[dense dust]

just got a new keyboard!!!!

motospeed k62 60% reds

i love it

its amazing

[slim hollow]

Hi just wondering if the dt 1990 where a good gaming headset because my headphones is awful and would like a open back pair of headphones

[calm cobalt]

just got a new keyboard!!!!
@dense dust nice I just got mine not to long ago either, went from a redragon membrane to hyper x mechanical

[little crater]

Hi just wondering if the dt 1990 where a good gaming headset because my headphones is awful and would like a open back pair of headphones
@slim hollow the DT 990 pros are much cheaper and are still pretty good, but there are a few options from sennheiser that might suit you better

im not nearly the biggest audiophile in the room, so i dont know a whole lot about many other options

[hasty vigil]

is it worth it to buy a dedicated mic and then a really nice pair of headphones because i am sort of an audio phile or should i just buy a really nice gaming headset

[little crater]

https://www.amazon.com/Massdrop-Sennheiser-PC37X-Gaming-Headset/dp/B084GFGMYT

@slim hollow considering you were looking at a 600 dollar pair of headphones, i assume you have the budget for em, then you could get these
https://en-us.sennheiser.com/headphones-audiophile-high-end-hd-660-s

[brisk parcel]

@slim hollow why hello there

so

I can help, just need an exact budget, preferences, how you like your sound(warm, neutral, analytical), since you're gaming I assume you want great imaging and soundstage

[little crater]

thank you lol

[brisk parcel]

thank me for what lmao

[little crater]

offering to help cuz idk what i do

[brisk parcel]

lmao it's fine man, you tried

just look up some videos and stuff you can learn pretty quickly if you really want to

[hazy fiber]

If only I had my rca cable

[west hornet]

Haha

also if you notice noise when turning gain just try turning off and rotating a few times, sometimes that happen with new audio stuff

[hazy fiber]

Thanks 😊

Can't wait to try it

[tight pulsar]

nice

[last plinth]

Steelseries made a rival 3 wireless

[sharp kindle]

yep

they also have the new lightweight one

its listed on amazon rn

[timber ridge]

oof

the k70 is like 90 rn or some

[sharp kindle]

corsair keyboards are good but bad

[last plinth]

50$

[timber ridge]

ik but for the price its not so bad

[last plinth]

Im saying rival 3 wireless is 50$

[last plinth]

Which actually isnt bad at all

[slim hollow]

The sennheiser HD 660 S look pretty heavy not sure I could be wrong. @little crater

[last plinth]

Tag @brisk parcel

not sassy

hes good at helping but ninja better with audio

[slim hollow]

@brisk parcel I am kinda new to the audio thing for example warm, analytical just anything that’s open back and great sound stage

[timber ridge]

tried typing more in general chat to get my rank up

very bruh moment

[last plinth]

im getting 6xx headphones, LD MK2, mullards, and a modi 3

@slim hollow

[slim hollow]

So what are all the other thing after the headphones

[timber ridge]

this man bouta get sucked in

[last plinth]

ld mk2 is amp, mullards are tube thingys u put on

u buy them off ebay and u replace them with the stock ones on ld mk2

stock bad

And modi 3 is a dac

Total cost for all that is like 550$

If u do get that the sound will be pog

[timber ridge]

might switch my g903 for a 502 since its pure productivity mouse

realized how good the viper mini is for gaming compared to it lmao

light weigh mouse op

[normal barn]

@timber ridge bruh why a 903

502 is better than 903 in every way

and the only thing 903 is better in is battery

60 hrs to 100+ hrs

[timber ridge]

yea but its like 50 dollars more expensive

im debating if i should rock a with a wired g502 and viper mini

[slim hollow]

If I get a pair of headphones headphones and need a amp/dac would the jds element II work because it’s seems pretty simple to setup and only 1 component

[timber ridge]

or jus send both back and get a viper ultimate

[normal barn]

well what about the deathadder

thast insnae for fps

[cunning hearth]

@timber ridge g502 is pretty pogg its just heavy

[timber ridge]

oh ur back

[cunning hearth]

XD

[last plinth]

idk but im pretty sure sennheiser ninja would recommend what im getting

[timber ridge]

how was ur ban

[cunning hearth]

Bad

[timber ridge]

[normal barn]

[brisk parcel]

@slim hollow hey man so your total budget is around $800-900?

[normal barn]

@brisk parcel

look at my ss

[slim hollow]

@brisk parcel yup

[last plinth]

made of money

[brisk parcel]

@normal barn well, that's up to you to decide, it all depends on preference, this guy just doesn't prefer them which is perfectly okay, 9500s with a mod mic is also a good option but that's totally up to you

ok so hyper

that leaves quite a lot of wiggle room

[last plinth]

yes

I told him to get what i was getting

He wants something comfy

[brisk parcel]

okay, so I would pick up some HD 650s, wide and warm, OR Hifiman sundaras, found out that a buddy had them and I went to test and ooooh LAWDY the soundstage. if you get the HD 650s, I recommend a schiit modius($200) and a Darkvoice 336SE(also around $200-$250). Senns LOVE tubes and the darkvoice is a full-on tube amp, no hybrid stuff, and has great stock tubes

[normal barn]

@slim hollow get hifi ananda

lol

and the schitt amps

[brisk parcel]

for the sundaras, also a schiit modius, but instead of a darkvoice, a schiit magni Heresy, Topping A50, or an SMSL SH-8

planars get distortion from tube amps, well most of them aside from some higher-end ones

[timber ridge]

gonna get the 503 instead of the 903 to save some bucks

[brisk parcel]

@slim hollow look at all that stuff ^^^ should be good for your budget

[slim hollow]

@brisk parcel ok so I took a look at everything but not sure about the dac and amp is there anything that is more compact like a SDAC I saw the JDS element II and really liked the form factor and usability would it be a good alternative to the dac and amp

But I like the headphones they seem comfortable and not bulky

[tight pulsar]

thoughts on something like this vs rca cables for modi/magni? https://snakeoilsound.com/products/mini-link-interconnect

[timber ridge]

my keeb comes in today

[brisk parcel]

yeah the element II is a good alternative, but if you're getting the senns I still recommend tubes, so like an Xduoo TA-10

both are good options tho

and btw, both cans are super comfy

won't be a problem at all, senns are mostly made of a glossy midnight-blue quality plastic-like thingy material

[west hornet]

i saw those, looks interesting. never used those casble before

could be cleaner

[slim hollow]

Is the cable detachable on the sennhiser

[brisk parcel]

Sundaras have a better build quality IMO, a bit wider than the 650s, a bit more airy cause of planar, but not as warm

yes it is

[sharp kindle]

@timber ridge what keeb

[brisk parcel]

uses a proprietary connector but it's a solid connection for sure

[timber ridge]

a budget hotswap i found xd

ill send pics when it comes, issa 84 key

[tight pulsar]

yeah they looked interesting didnt know if anybody had experience/opinions on them

[brisk parcel]

@tacit wing can confirm sundaras do have that god-tier soundstage everyone talks about

I

[slim hollow]

Ok I will probably go for the dac and amp first but if I can find one in stock I might go will the element and I will stick with the HD 650s, thanks for the recommendations @brisk parcel

[brisk parcel]

I'm lucky to have friends who just have things like this lmao so I can test and np at all hyper!

yes for sure I recommend the separate DAC and AMP combos first, more scalability in the future

[slim hollow]

Ok thanks have a good day

[brisk parcel]

you too man! always here if you need something

[normal barn]

@slim hollow this is what happens when u buy non compact items

[timber ridge]

903 has thicker clicks than the 502

but still a good mouse

[tacit wing]

@tight pulsar if the stack is your end all be all dac+amp and dont plan to get anymore other amps then I'd go with that interconnect

but essentially its still the same function. the interconnect gives u a more compact aesthetic rather than cables sticking out of your stack, but you can only use it on that stack specifically

ooooo someone in chat is getting an El Stack

502 is better than 903 in every way
@normal barn not one mouse is better than the other because the SHAPE is up for preference of the user

just as with all things audio and how our ears percieve sound, different hands like different shapes

[timber ridge]

bruh dino

the viper mini is jus too good

[tacit wing]

im saying

its the ultimate try-hard mouse

[timber ridge]

i got the g502 for pure productivity

and yea it is pure tryhard

i cant be using my tryhard grip 24/7 tho lmao

[tacit wing]

what did u like the most about the Mini?

weight?

[timber ridge]

yea having a lightweight mouse is game changing

and shape

[tacit wing]

also, the skates on that mouse

will get smoother overtime

there is a break in period

[timber ridge]

i already got use to lifting up my pinkie a mm higher

i jus need a bigger mouspad or extended mouse pad

[tacit wing]

notice if u look at ur skates its not smooth and its has vertical lines across

overtime those skates will polish

and it will be butter

[timber ridge]

ooo

[tacit wing]

thats just virgin grade PTFE

better than the Teflon on ur 903

[timber ridge]

yeye

i swapped it for the g502 tho

thought i was gonna be able to game on the 903 but after having the viper

[tacit wing]

did u find the 502 more comfortable?

[timber ridge]

i dont wanna game on any other mouse

comfort is the same

im like using full palm grip on the g502

or claw ish

[tacit wing]

makes sense

im glad u liked the Mini

[timber ridge]

yea its op

these two basically cost the same as the reg viper

p insane

[tacit wing]

Roccat jus recently released a V Mini competitor, looks pretty interesting

it looks like it has holes but it actually doesnt

around the same weight and size

PTFE feet and stock paracord as well, glad everyone is starting to jump on that wagon

[timber ridge]

looks better for claw users

feel like the v mini is best for fingertip grip

[sharp kindle]

roccat

oh that company

[tacit wing]

bad experience?

[timber ridge]

dino how was ur experience with specter custom mousepads

[tacit wing]

i dont have that i have Inked Custom

my 02 mousepad lol

similar glide as my GSR-SE

but the coating is more forgiving on this

[jovial hound]

Thinking about copping the Five below gaming set 🤔

[timber ridge]

ooo ok

forgot which website you linked lmao

[tacit wing]

this is 18x16" which is the one i have @timber ridge https://www.inkedgaming.com/products/custom-xl-gaming-mousepad

they also have extended pads and full desk pads which cover ur entire desk

GSR-SE clone basically, only customizable

[timber ridge]

thx

[tacit wing]

wtf they jacked up their prices

[timber ridge]

bruh

by how much

[tacit wing]

i remember paying less than 20 for mine but its 25 now

alright gtg

[timber ridge]

i cant get my monitors to align up good

my ocd is kicking in v hard

[normal barn]

gah

im think of pc37x or shp9500 with boom pro

my mind is breaking

[timber ridge]

arent you trying to save as money as possible

[normal barn]

ye

but im think of pc37x or shp9500

[timber ridge]

from what the little research i jus did

the pc37x sounds a bit better but depends on head size

if you hve a big head, the hard clamping force the pc37x might not be the move

[normal barn]

uhh

i think

my ear to ear size

is 4 and and half incehes

[timber ridge]

im not sure about the dimensions of the headsets

cant vouch for any of them either bc i dont own them

i have mh752s

[normal barn]

ohh

i saw it on reddit

is it worth the price

for 751s

[timber ridge]

im not sure how much they go for

when i got mine, they were almost the same price

theyre based on the takstar pro 82s or whatever you call them

[normal barn]

oh ye

saw that too

751 is 99

752 is 100+

[timber ridge]

oof

they use to be like 70 or 60

https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Swiveled-Neodymium-Omni-Directional/dp/B07JH3LSHN

this is where i got mine

only difference between the 751 and 752 is that one comes with a 7.1 dac thingy

[tacit wing]

752/751 👍

theyre based on the takstar pro 82s or whatever you call them
@timber ridge someone watches Z reviews

[timber ridge]

lmao

jus got my keeb

i think outemu reds are heavier than gateron reds

[normal barn]

LMAO

@tacit wing HELP PC37 OR SHP9500 WITH BOOM PRO

MY HEAD IS GONNA EXPLODE

sry for ca

[tacit wing]

37x

cant go wrong either way

but i lean towards the Sennheisers more

[normal barn]

i hate it when people say that lol

cant go wrong withr wya

[tacit wing]

thats because you're choosing between two very good products

[timber ridge]

it would be a lot easier if one was trash

[normal barn]

lmao

https://www.reddit.com/r/HeadphoneAdvice/comments/hu5yao/phillips_shp9500_vmoda_boom_pro_mic_vs_sennheiser/

im geeting very mixed reveiews here to

@tacit wing so like pc37x is very similar

to the pc38x

except 37 is all balck

which i like

but will it look good going if u go outside

with it

[timber ridge]

lowkey

[tacit wing]

honestly i wouldnt go out with any headphones i own

[timber ridge]

if you ever plan to get a blue yeti or anything

[tacit wing]

theyre open backs

[timber ridge]

the shp will b nicer

in the future

[normal barn]

why?

[timber ridge]

unless the mic is detachable on the pc37x

[normal barn]

i plan on getting a usb mic after i get my pc

whichc is about next year probably

bday

[timber ridge]

you jus wont have a mic attached to ur headphones unless ur cool with that

[normal barn]

im cool with that

lol

[timber ridge]

i think aesthetic wise, it looks weird

oh ok then nvm on that

[tacit wing]

honestly the only headphones id go out with are the Sony WH whatevers

[timber ridge]

the wireless pair?

oof i gotta adjust to these switches

they feel way lighter

[normal barn]

lol

[timber ridge]

i think my caps lock, tab, and part of my left shift is rubbing

but its not that bad

[hazy fiber]

honestly the only headphones id go out with are the Sony WH whatevers
WH1000XM4 and WF1000XM3s are amazing for mobile daily drivers 😛

Bose 700s look nice too but I like the WHXM4s better

[timber ridge]

@normal barn have you considered iems
