Just like talking/podcasts

open sail
#

sure

queen sigil
#

I mean

#

Do you need a USB mic or an XLR mic

open sail
#

USB

queen sigil
#

I mean just off of the top of my head i'd say blue yeti is a decent option if you got no budget

#

I don't know much about really high end mics

open sail
#

O ight bro thanks

normal barn
#

@tacit wing rich boi

#

U got the 5xx

#

Bruhhhhh

#

but if anything headphones are a much better investment considering i burned 200 dollars just to have some anime girls on my screen so i can enjoy a dumb gacha game
@tacit wing lol my cousin is obsessed with gavha life

queen sigil
#

cholax how u bouta call someone a rich boy yet you're a 13 year old with a supposed 1k budget for a keyboard

west hornet
#

Samson q2u

#

Elgato wave

#

Etc

queen sigil
#

u should probs tag him @west hornet

west hornet
#

I think the new shure m7v is usb too, haven’t had chance to look at it yet

#

@open sail

queen sigil
#

I have a k669b my school gave me

#

lol

#

also blue yeti doesnt have any shock mounts that im aware of

#

so if that's important

thick plank
#

@last plinth different uses

#

@tacit wing what do you want the 5xx for?

#

I plan to shrink my collection though

#

Cause my 95x beats almost everything in everything but sound stage after you properly mod the energizer

#

And for that hd800 is a thing

#

So most of my headsets are useless now

#

Likw there isnt a singke thing a 660 or 650 even post spider cage mod beat the 95x in

normal barn
#

I will be officla 13 according to my birth certificate in 3 min

thick plank
#

!ban

#

13 is min age for discord

queen sigil
#

so do ur parents agree with getting you a 1000$ keyboard or something

#

because its your birthday

thick plank
#

Seems to basically be a pad changed deva

#

And headband

tacit wing
#

trusted purrin's review and pulled the trigger

#

Sundaras were a little out of budget for me

thick plank
#

Same price as deva too

#

You just get massdrop branding

#

Which honestly is a con imo

tacit wing
#

i couldnt care less

#

its my first planar

thick plank
#

I would rather pay the same and not get the massdrop logo

tacit wing
#

and get a hideous colorway

#

no thx

thick plank
#

4xx in most categories would be better though

#

The deva driver has a tinny tamber

sharp kindle
#

im mald

tacit wing
#

of course you would always get compromises around this price range

sharp kindle
#

i left intellij open and left

#

and turns out

#

my headset was pressing down the return key the whole time

#

now i have to delete 50k lines of code

thick plank
#

But I think in most things the 4xx would be less of a compromise @tacit wing

#

The deva is only at all worth getting as a wireless headset

#

And you can't buy the wireless piece alone

queen sigil
#

just realized you can get a matching deskmat for tropical linear switches

#

this is the hottest keycap set ive ever seen

thick plank
#

Again, if you want endgame for cheap 95x is literally a top overall or close to it headset if you do the mod

#

And it isnt like a confirmation bias thing

#

I literally expected to only use them once

#

Until I realized how well they handled detail, tambre, and vocals

#

And I have never even tried a headset that can move vocals that forward

#

Nor do them that accurate

brisk parcel
#

@tacit wing lowkey

#

Package for the 5XX looks hot

#

Super stoked as well

tacit wing
#

looks the same as the 400i 2020's

#

looks elegant

brisk parcel
#

Should be here a week from tomorrow for both of us since we were early enough for the first 500 with 2 day shipping

#

And they ship on Friday

tacit wing
#

2 day shipping?

brisk parcel
#

Yeah did you not see that?

#

First 500 get free two day shipping I think

tacit wing
#

pog

brisk parcel
#

Said to pick “normal” at checkout and they would update it before they shipped them

#

I’m 90% sure that’s what it said but it’s not there now

tacit wing
#

but the weekend is on the way tho we'd probably get them in hand like on the 10th or 11th

#

the amount of times ive been told "tHeyRe JuSt rEbrAndEd DeVas pepega " today

#

i am fully aware lol

#

atleast my cans dont look like theyre designed by freakin Noctua

west hornet
#

Noctua love_it

tacit wing
#

oh yeah not to slander Noctua

#

in fact i want to replace my Kraken with a big heatsink

#

@tacit wing lol my cousin is obsessed with gavha life

sharp sequoia
#

can anyone tell me which mouse would be better for me between the razer basilisk v2 and deathadder v2? I mostly play fps games and am switching from console to pc. (am open to other mice suggestions)

timber ridge
#

depends on hand size and mouse grip

#

dino knows a lot about mice, i can kinda help

calm cobalt
#

the amount of times ive been told "tHeyRe JuSt rEbrAndEd DeVas :pepega: " today
@tacit wing Because the Deva aren't good without Bluetooth as a crutch

#

And they aren't even cheaper

#

And it isn't nodded in a significant way

#

Just it has different pads

thick plank
#

Yea

#

Unless you listen to music and think "not enough hissing in the high end and needs more metal sound" it is a downgrade from the 4xx

#

It is in detail and speed a slight downgrade from a 4xx while having more sibilance in highs and a more average sound stage at a higher price

#

And a generally considered to be worse tamber characteristics of being tin sounding

can anyone tell me which mouse would be better for me between the razer basilisk v2 and deathadder v2? I mostly play fps games and am switching from console to pc. (am open to other mice suggestions)
@sharp sequoia I use basilisk ultimate... they are essentially the same, except for hand size and weight

#

whatever suits your hand best

sharp sequoia
#

I usually play cod, do u have experience playing it with the basilisk?

astral hinge
#

I hate cod

#

again'

#

just go to a best buy or something

#

see what suits your hand better

#

@sharp sequoia I have bigger hands, and I don't use side buttons too much. baslisk is good for me. doesn't mean it's good for u 2

sharp sequoia
#

I see

astral hinge
#

honestly if ur not sure, the viper is always a medium pick

#

I like baslisk bc of the arch that is comfortable against my hands

timber ridge
#

i would go test them out in person at a local store

tacit wing

can anyone tell me which mouse would be better for me between the razer basilisk v2 and deathadder v2? I mostly play fps games and am switching from console to pc. (am open to other mice suggestions)
@sharp sequoia they're both great options for claw and palm for hands over 18cm in length

queen sigil
#

they're just like standard plastic case boards

sharp sequoia
#

i see thnx

tacit wing
#

if yours is under 18, best look at other options

calm cobalt
#

are speed slivers good ?

queen sigil
#

no

#

bad

#

terrible

#

never get them

#

garbage

calm cobalt
#

any good switches for like 80 bucks on a keyboard

queen sigil
#

u want just switches

#

or a keyboard with switches?

calm cobalt
#

Keyboard with

queen sigil
#

uhh

#

I mean just look for anykeyboad with gateron switches

#

Nothing is wrong with cherry

#

but stay away from autemu and kalih

cunning hearth
#

Why not kailh

#

Are box reds not good

#

@queen sigil

queen sigil
#

box switches

#

dont come on like any keyboard

tacit wing
#

mfs look at FRG and judge headphones based entirely off of that

#

cringe

tight pulsar
#

who is frg

tacit wing
#

frequency response graph lol

tight pulsar
#

oh

queen sigil
#

@tight pulsar fo u know any blootooth/wireless keyboards

#

that are hotswap

tacit wing
#

i love audio but some enthusiasts are just so unbearable. they focus on whats on paper and not what sounds sonically, and how different headphones can sound sonically on different set of ears

queen sigil
#

75% size or above

tacit wing
#

and somehow crispier highs are a downgrade ASfacepalm

queen sigil
#

i want my highs to be mooshy and my lows to be mooshy and my mids to be mooshy

tacit wing
#

i want my thocks to T H O C K

tight pulsar
#

no idk much about wireless but keychron might have one

queen sigil
#

yeah i was looking at a keychron k2

#

his request was really confusing

#

he knows nothing about keyboards but wants to get a nice one for his mom or something

tight pulsar
#

half of that contradicts itself and the other half is gonna be basically impossible to find usb port wise

#

id just get a hotswap tkl and a usb hub

tacit wing
#

that criteria gave me a headache

#

fully sized with no numpad ASbigBrain

tight pulsar
#

yeah and hotswap membrane

tacit wing
#

that guy has to be trolling

#

HAS to be

queen sigil
#

he knows like nothing

#

he didnt know what a TKL was

#

but hes a friend

#

so I do what he wants

tacit wing
#

if he knows nothing he wouldnt even know what hotswap is

queen sigil
#

as long as I get paid

#

hes probs watched like yt vids about keyboards

#

or he just took amazon tags off of a random keyboard

#

lol

thick plank
#

mfs look at FRG and judge headphones based entirely off of that
@tacit wing they are actually important still in finding if a headphone matches your preferred sound signature

#

Like I check for peak highs especially at 5khz to 7khz cause I dont like those

tacit wing
#

oh yeah i dont have a preference honestly. i like polar opposites

#

and having a bias towards your preference is Pepega

#

grrrr why does corona shipping make things so expensive

#

18$ shipping on my switches :(

thick plank
#

Oof

#

Wtf

#

Thats insane

queen sigil
#

it's DHL shipping

#

but I mean its still alot

thick plank
#

And switches are light

#

They are pocketing half that "shipping" money

#

I doubt they are getting charged even half that

queen sigil
#

welp im ordering a keychron k2 with gateron silent reds

sharp kindle
#

18 bucks for switches is a fat f

tight pulsar
#

well yeah duh dhl is gonna be expensive

queen sigil
#

dhl is dunb

#

still better than waiting 3 decads for ra group buy

tight pulsar
#

dhl express is worth every penny

#

2-3 days from china or singapore to ohio cant beat that

queen sigil
#

true

#

but 20$ shipping for like 30$ of switches

#

not epic

amber oracle
#

that is not on dhl thou

#

that is on the person selecting DHL

timber ridge
#

i basically have the keychron k2

#

jus rebranded as something else

queen sigil
#

actually

#

i think it was bpdfans

#

they only have DHL shippiing

last plinth
#

kbdfans

queen sigil
#

yes

#

shush

tight pulsar
#

mhm dont they still have free shipping last time i bought from them they did

queen sigil
#

i kind awant to

#

get a nk75

#

if they are ever back in stock

#

because its suck a good deam

#

deal

amber oracle
#

something you might now value much on the customer side @queen sigil is the tracking that DHL offers to the sender

timber ridge
#

wish the hotswap hhkb tofu came in stock more often

queen sigil
#

im not a fan of hhkbs

amber oracle
#

and that in general is the reason for a lot of the cost in shipping

queen sigil
#

wait

amber oracle
#

IF you want decent service, you have to pay for it

queen sigil
#

so DHL has good package tracking?

tight pulsar
#

because its fast and yes

amber oracle
#

for a service that deals with consumers? yes

timber ridge
#

leo what part of the world are you from

queen sigil
#

i just thought it was just fast

amber oracle
#

being fast is not enough to survive as a shipping company

#

personally, i would much prefer a slower guaranteed safe arrival

queen sigil
#

reasonable

tacit wing
#

i always pay extra for an insured parcel for stuff over 200 usd

#

personally

tight pulsar
#

anyway id much rather pay for dhl than deal with china post

tacit wing
#

like my schiit stack even though the schiitr is literally an hour away from and i can pick it up myself i still paid for an insured parcel

#

and also i was busy so i couldnt do local pick up

amber oracle
#

@tacit wing something to keep in mind, depending on your credit card, that insurance is sometimes included there

tacit wing
#

i have to admit

#

i yet have to sign up for a credit card

#

havent gotten to that part of adulthood yet i am a late bloomer sadpepe

amber oracle
#

aye aye

#

just saying, its something to keep in mind

tacit wing
#

yes

amber oracle
#

no matter who is the owner of the CC

tacit wing
#

will keep that in mind

last plinth
#

Is there a point of having a credit card

amber oracle
#

and i keep forgetting that the US has different CC laws/customs vs us here

tacit wing
#

i only have debit VISA idk if they have some fine print on insured parcels

last plinth
#

Arent u just gonna have debt

amber oracle
#

yes @last plinth. its way safer than running around with a cash

#

because there are plenty of places in the world where your debit card wont work

last plinth
#

I see

#

Can u put money into ur credit card

tacit wing
#

not if you are aware as a consumer @last plinth

#

dont worry cntrl you will learn the ropes when the time comes

last plinth
#

Can u or no

tacit wing
#

u can pay off ur credit using ur debit

last plinth
#

Cuz i only found out like a month ago theres a difference between a debit and credit

tacit wing
amber oracle
#

again

#

time will teach you

normal barn
#

Cuz i only found out like a month ago theres a difference between a debit and credit
@last plinth lmao

#

how

#

tho

#

cc is credit card

#

that is buy now pay later

#

dc is debit card buy now pay now

amber oracle
#

different exposures to things teach people things at different times

normal barn
#

u put money on ur dc to pay ur cc?

amber oracle
#

just like all the things you dont know about yet @normal barn

normal barn
#

like how dino said

#

@amber oracle im good with real life stuff

tacit wing
normal barn
#

but bad at tech stuff

amber oracle
#

its not about "real life stuff" vs "anything else"

normal barn
#

lol

#

im bad at desciaion making

amber oracle
#

its all just knowledge that you acquire over time.

#

and it would be a smart idea to remember that

#

because it aint very friendly/polite to laugh at others about things they dont know.

tacit wing
#

at my BIG age i should already be building my credit score by now

#

i have alot of catching up to do

normal barn
#

LMAO

#

so uhh

#

do u even have a cc

timber ridge
#

if i could apply for a cc, building my credit score would be ez

#

but cant, bc i have no job as of now

normal barn
#

ohh

#

wait

#

i thoguth u were dino

#

lmao

amber oracle
#

reading does not hurt you

#

it might actually make you appear a bit smarter

#

:P

tacit wing
#

yeah i talked about it earlier but nope

#

just debit

normal barn
#

lol

#

naed is correct

#

im a book need

#

nerd*

timber ridge
#

yea same, ive been spending from my debit only

brisk parcel
#

me and @tacit wing in a few days

amber oracle
#

haha :)

tacit wing
#

i need something for my runs

amber oracle
#

holy are they ever ugly

cursive marsh
#

xd

tacit wing
#

i will feel like Rocky Balboa running with these

#

i think this will be the first puchase @fortnut wouldn't mald at

timber ridge
#

im telling you, they are the noctua of headphones

golden bear
#

Apex pro is so good I love it

timber ridge
#

did you get the tkl or full size

golden bear
#

full size

#

I do programming and math a lot so the num pad is helpful

timber ridge
#

pricey keybaord

queen sigil
#

I don't get the use for the apex pro

golden bear
#

Lol you know why I got it

#

I know you recommended me the switches, but its so helpful switching the actuation point

#

It is pricey, but I do like need it

tacit wing
#

thats all that matters

golden bear
#

or atleast the switches

timber ridge
#

why do you need custom actuation points

golden bear
#

TLDR I have severe nerve damage, and need a very low actuation point

#

but I also have spasms and hit random keys so in that case I need a high actuation point

#

so I have different profiles for different games/tasks

timber ridge
#

wouldnt you benefit from lighter springs more ?

queen sigil
#

^^^

golden bear
#

I mean probably, but I like being able to customize how much I need to press down

queen sigil
#

Like it doesnt matter what the actuation point is, if you get a lighter switch that makes it lighter to actuate that the steelseries one

timber ridge
#

but if the apex pro is doing the job, then its fine

queen sigil
#

^

timber ridge
#

whatever gets the job done

golden bear
#

Its doing its job lol

queen sigil
#

apex pro supposedly has a heavier switch compared to tealios

#

which are like a 67g weight

timber ridge
#

the apex pro is 67?

#

isnt it supposed to be using reds?

golden bear
#

Like it doesnt matter what the actuation point is, if you get a lighter switch that makes it lighter to actuate that the steelseries one
@queen sigil I just cant only have light actuation I realized cause my fingers kinda have a mind of its own too

#

and its using omnipoint, idk if that is based off of reds

queen sigil
#

Wait thet said they were a bit lighter than tealios/gat inks

thick plank
#

Parts i need to replace

golden bear
#

No I dea, I just know its working and thats what matters

thick plank
#

Mainly the second

#

The m2749 and the 2200uf 25v caps i found replacement parts for

tight pulsar
last plinth
#

What is that

tight pulsar
#

side view of the gateron cap switches

golden bear
tight pulsar
#

yeah for sure as long as it works for you keep using it, i just remembered it bc your convo about your nerve damage and thought it was an interesting article

queen sigil
#

oh yeah if ur problem is you can't press down all the way the only option is like a low profile switch, a membrane, or the apex pro keyboards

last plinth
#

Should i get the apex pro

#

Same price as massdrop alt

amber oracle
#

i feel like i have seen that question before

brisk parcel
#

^

last plinth
#

I have not asked it before

#

@sharp kindle should i

#

@tight pulsar apex pro or massdrop alt

queen sigil
#

massdrop alt

#

from like a custom keyboard perrspective

tight pulsar
#

hex3c r2 babyyyy

queen sigil
#

wait

#

rlu

#

rly

sharp kindle
#

drop alt

#

its a lot more customizable

tight pulsar
#

but yeah alt unless you are actually going to use the omnipoint switches more than once

sharp kindle
#

and unless u want the steelseries switches

#

drop alt is better

queen sigil
#

unles you're like fallen and NEED a low acuation point switch

#

i'd just go for the alt

#

and slap some inc blacks

sharp kindle
#

switches are personal preference

last plinth
#

What do u mean use omnipoint switches more than once

sharp kindle
#

but im assuming u like linears

tight pulsar
#

exactly what i mean

queen sigil
#

because omnipoint switches are basically just a gimmick

sharp kindle
#

since omnipoints are linear

last plinth
#

i guess

queen sigil
#

they're just smooth lineasr

last plinth
#

Sounds nice

queen sigil
#

linears

tight pulsar
#

but id suggest hex3c cause its like dirt cheap for a burger mount custom if u can wait and i am totally not a hex keyboards shill

queen sigil
#

but they aren't that smooth compared to any lubed switches

#

wait is hex3c an hhkb

sharp kindle
#

get some nice linears

#

and lube em

tight pulsar
#

they have wkl/hhkb/standard tops

#

i grabbed a wkl one

sharp kindle
#

and then slap em on

queen sigil
#

I like WKL compared to hhkb

#

just looks better in my opinion

#

also you can hit it with ur pinky

#

easier

last plinth
#

Im leaning more towards apex pro

sharp kindle
#

why

queen sigil
#

Fo what use

last plinth
#

stuff

sharp kindle
#

like?

queen sigil
#

Apex bro doesn't have too many redeeming factors

tight pulsar
#

eh i barely use the left ctrl key i have it and caps lock swapped cause its way easier to use

queen sigil
#

their switches are over rated

sharp kindle
#

the omnipoint switches?

last plinth
#

I guess

queen sigil
sharp kindle
#

the OLED screen?

queen sigil
sharp kindle
#

get a drop alt dude

queen sigil
#

the screen is useless

#

so are the switches

#

unless you need them for something

last plinth
#

But the drop alt has so much problems

queen sigil
#

lol like what

#

its a solid boad

last plinth
#

u gotta put foam in

sharp kindle
#

its good for entry level

queen sigil
#

lol no you dont

last plinth
#

stock stabilizer bad

queen sigil
#

foam is a dampener for acoustics

tight pulsar
#

hollowness is really the only downside besides the pcb being questionable

sharp kindle
#

but it is north facing switches

queen sigil
#

and plate mount stabs arent terrible

#

and the switches that you could put in it outweighs the stab problem in my opinion

#

comparred to the apex pro switches

tight pulsar
#

pretty sure the majority of prebuilts use north facing pcbs thats why they use oem keycaps and not cherry profile

queen sigil
#

nuculear

#

are you gonna grab an NK75 or 65 when it drops

#

whatever its called

tight pulsar
#

no

queen sigil
#

I actually don't own any 60% boards

last plinth
#

The switches sounds nice

queen sigil
#

omnipoint switches sound nice

last plinth
#

Not bad

queen sigil
tight pulsar
#

how much is the apex pro

sharp kindle
#

200

queen sigil
#

like 200

tight pulsar
#

yikes

sharp kindle
#

i believe

#

speed switches and omnipoints are a scam from my pov

queen sigil
sharp kindle
#

most people bottom out their switches anyways

last plinth
#

Apex pro tkl is 180

queen sigil
#

lol that's 80$ more than it should be

sharp kindle
#

i like steelseries

queen sigil
#

cool

sharp kindle
#

but their pro line

#

is a scam

queen sigil
#

any keyboard with a gimmick

#

usually a scam

sharp kindle
#

the only thing making it 200 is the oled

queen sigil
#

like weight sensitive switches

#

useless

last plinth
#

Me get massdrop alt

queen sigil
#

good

sharp kindle
#

the good thing is

last plinth
#

but

sharp kindle
#

you didnt consider the k100

#

from corsair

#

bigger scam

last plinth
#

maybe ill get apex pro tkl in the future

queen sigil
#

corair has the best cheap keyboards

#

in my opinion

#

like

#

really cheap

tight pulsar
#

imma stop u right there

queen sigil
#

oh no

tight pulsar
#
  1. corsair is the worst keyboard company in my mind and 2. that would be reddragon
sharp kindle
#

corsaair has great build quality

queen sigil
#

yeah

sharp kindle
#

but

#

BUT

queen sigil
#

i recommend red dragon more

tight pulsar
#

okay this 70a oring really does not like me the 50a one goes on fine but this 70a wont even fit

sharp kindle
#

BUT

#

their budget tkl doesnt have much to offer

last plinth
#

🍑 ?

sharp kindle
#

they also need to move away from cherry switches

last plinth
#

bro who would buy anything from corsair

sharp kindle
#

they have decent pc hardware

queen sigil
#

yea

#

ram

sharp kindle
#

like their light loops are sick

queen sigil
#

and fans

sharp kindle
#

mice are ehhh

queen sigil
#

and case

sharp kindle
#

cases are decent

#

coolers are p good

golden bear
#

corsair makes good hardware, peripherals are ok

sharp kindle
#

their keyboards always have great build quiality

#

but non standard bottom row

#

lack of customizabitity for switches

tacit wing
#

does anyone know of hyperx switches are just rebranded Gaterons?

sharp kindle
#

and it being on the pricy side

#

makes it a no for me

tight pulsar
#

and their stabilizers sound like a washing machine full of metal parts

tacit wing
#

bc someone on here said they were

queen sigil
#

idk

tight pulsar
#

@tacit wing they dont say who makes them and that was probably me cause i thought that a while ago

last plinth
#

HyperX switches are cherry mx no?

tacit wing
#

nope

queen sigil
#

no

tight pulsar
#

cherry mx footprint/spec yeah made by cherry probably not

tacit wing
#

their Aquas which is their tactiles are waaay more tactile than Browns

#

theres actually a bump

#

im no keeb man but i can feel the bump

tight pulsar
#

hm my t1s should be here tomorrow

tacit wing
#

Cherry Browns feel like linears to me

queen sigil
#

tgey arent that good

sharp kindle
#

idk about switches from hyperx

#

i thought they used cherry mx switches

tight pulsar
#

oh my god i finally got it on

queen sigil
#

what

sharp kindle
#

got what on

tight pulsar
#

this stupid 70a oring

sharp kindle
#

ew o rings

queen sigil
#

yeah

#

why o ring

sharp kindle
#

lmao i thought u were talking abt something else

#

but im not gonna say what

#

or ill get banned

queen sigil
#

not funny

tight pulsar
#

the oring that goes around the keyboard not orings on the switches

sharp kindle
#

oh

#

good

queen sigil
#

whats it for

#

vibeation?

#

vibration

tight pulsar
#

its how u mount the keyboard

queen sigil
#

o

tight pulsar
#

kind of yes its a friction fit board where u squeeze the oring between the top and bottom plate and then bottom mount it

queen sigil
#

yeah dont those like

#

suck

tight pulsar
#

nah they give some of the best typing experiences

#

all those burger and gasket mounted boards the otd356mini did like 7 year before and did it way better with the oring

queen sigil
#

ive like never gotten a board with orings

#

because i never knew what they were

sharp kindle
#

never heard of o rings for ur actual board

#

hmmmm

tight pulsar
#

yeah cause its expensive and theres like 8 boards that use it

sharp kindle
#

i forgot you can afford nice keyboards

tight pulsar
#

and can also be a pita to install

sharp kindle
#

sadge

tight pulsar
#

lol for a oring board this is pretty much the cheapest one i could get

queen sigil
#

yeah cause its expensive and theres like 8 boards that use it
@tight pulsar how much was the board that had the oring

tight pulsar
#

all the other boards are like 800-1000 on r/mm and if u want the holy grail the 356 mini thats like 5-8k

#

mine?

queen sigil
#

ye

sharp kindle
#

ok dude

tight pulsar
#

with the keycaps and everything probably like 500-550

sharp kindle
#

we get it

#

ur rich

queen sigil
#

thats not that bad

sharp kindle
#

that or you starve urself

#

oh

#

500 isnt bad

#

5k-8k

queen sigil
#

what switch?

tight pulsar
#

bruh im not rich im just saying those other boards are crazy

sharp kindle
#

is ridiculous

tight pulsar
#

yeah they made like 100 boards in 2003 so basically impossible to find hence the crazy price

#

sakura everglides

queen sigil
#

everglides

tight pulsar
#

yeah

sharp kindle
#

damn nice

#

what keycaps

tight pulsar
#

og doubleshots from an old cherry keyboard

queen sigil
#

if ur switches arent 25$ for each switch dont talk to me

#

if ur seitches arent made of all gold

sharp kindle
#

cries in gat yellows

queen sigil
#

leave me alone

tight pulsar
#

thats how much they felt like with how many things i had to buy to mod them kekw

#

had to buy springs, cherry tops, films, the switches, and alr had the lube

queen sigil
#

whats the lightest switch spring you could buy

#

like ik there is 35g

tight pulsar
#

if ur fine with low profile switches theres some 12g choc springs

queen sigil
#

thats cheating

#

i need 12g normal switch

sharp kindle
#

i wanna try a low profile keeb

#

but i dont

tight pulsar
#

sprit has some 15g mx springs so yeah

#

actuation is 10g

queen sigil
#

how much

#

i need

tight pulsar
queen sigil
#

omg

#

thats actually

#

decent

#

im gonna make 15g clicky switches

tight pulsar
#

i got my 63.5g springs from there glad sprit turned his business around

queen sigil
#

to make fun of my fortnite friends

tight pulsar
#

also since we were talking about the alt earlier lemme bring up my favorite part of that keyboard

queen sigil
#

wut

tight pulsar
queen sigil
#

what thr

#

what pcb

tight pulsar
#

drop alt

queen sigil
#

this should be a crime

#

oh god

tight pulsar
queen sigil
#

why

#

i have like a 30$ keyboard

#

with a better pcb

#

im disgusted

sharp kindle
#

ew

amber oracle
#

hmm

tight pulsar
#

the comments are great tho

sharp kindle
#

well this will take me through no nut november

#

im gonna save the pic and if i have an urge im just gonna look at that

amber oracle
#

i kinda like that pcb

queen sigil
#

naed no

tight pulsar
#

worst game of connect the dots ever
When you give your autorouter cocaine and hit start
This is the PCB equivalent of repeatedly banging your chest with the top of your wrist.
Well, Jackson Pollock is still a inspiration to some people. :)

queen sigil
#

lolol

amber oracle
#

i have wired setups for ergo testing here @queen sigil

#

trust me

#

that pcb has nothing on some of that

tight pulsar
#

ooooh boy i dont wanna see that

amber oracle
#

(to be more correct, i HAD wired setups here, they are at one of the offices now)

queen sigil
#

cheap pcb from 40$ keyboard

amber oracle
#

again, pcb being clean says nothing about the use of the board

tight pulsar
#

kinda curious to see what ur stuff for ergo looks like naed you should send a pic or two on your evil lair haha

amber oracle
#

:)

queen sigil
#

tech dungeon

amber oracle
#

i dont share my tech stuff generally

#

food is fine, but its a pain to remember what is nda and what isnt

tight pulsar
#

👀

amber oracle
#

and my workspace is a effing mess in that regard

queen sigil
#

but yeah about the nk65

tight pulsar
#

lol i probably wont even be able to figure out what half the stuff you have is

queen sigil
#

I might get it because it comes with all the accessories

#

and ill have a cheap board

sharp kindle
#

if cntrl wants to wait a long time for a board

#

get a rfp nk65

#

if the group buy is still up

#

i dont think it is

queen sigil
#

its not

sharp kindle
#

ok

#

well

queen sigil
#

but they've done 3 runs

sharp kindle
#

there goes that idea

tight pulsar
#

also gotta give it to zeal they might have the most overpriced products but their pcbs are nicely done

queen sigil
#

so there's probs gonna be more

sharp kindle
#

he shouldve hopped on that group buy

queen sigil
#

thats a sexy pcb

sharp kindle
#

nk65 is a great board

queen sigil
#

man I wish the drop ctrl or entr or whatever

#

had gold pcb trarce things

#

whateve they're called

amber oracle
#

and to be 100% clear. IF any of you value the "cleanliness of the pcb over the use of the board" that is entirely okay, just remember that not everyone is like that :)

queen sigil
#

so we could see the pcb better

#

wait the NK65 has glow in the darrk case options

#

bruh

sharp kindle
#

really?

#

damn

queen sigil
#

yeah the blumen color

tight pulsar
#

no i dont see my pcb at all just saying it looks nice

queen sigil
#

blue and glow in the dark

amber oracle
#

aye aye Nachos

sharp kindle
#

im not one of those people that WutFaces at a green pcb in taeha type's chat

#

but i still like a good looking pcb

amber oracle
#

just a friendly reminder to not fall into the "trap" of doing what @sharp kindle just gave an example of :)

tight pulsar
#

red pcb masterrace

#

but if i had something like this i may flip it over to admire the pcb time and time again

amber oracle
#

aye aye

queen sigil
#

it looks like a city subway map

tight pulsar
#

i kinda had to get a red pcb with the red plate and silver case for that og korean custom look tho lol

sharp kindle
#

that looks like charcoal

amber oracle
#

what i am slightly puzzled about is why none of the artisans have NOT done a "cover" pcb yet?

sharp kindle
#

with like

#

gold on it

#

hot

queen sigil
#

but tbh I like rerd pcbs the best

amber oracle
#

because all it would take is 2 extra pcb layers

queen sigil
#

extra thicc pcb

tight pulsar
#

probably due to thickness and how boards are designed

amber oracle
#

keep in mind, i did say artisans

tight pulsar
amber oracle
#

so they are doing custom all the way

queen sigil
#

where the heck

#

do u get a pcb liek that

tight pulsar
#

handarbeit for the win

queen sigil
#

made

tight pulsar
#

idk im not a pcb guy

sharp kindle
#

that looks sick

tight pulsar
#

also the dude who made my pcb has the most glorious project board

amber oracle
#

that looks like a film

tight pulsar
amber oracle
#

@tight pulsar you got a higher ress of that pcb?

queen sigil
#

please tell me

#

that those are rjust

#

different stem colors

tight pulsar
#

lemme see if i can find it

queen sigil
#

and not different switches

tight pulsar
#

theyre mainly all durock recolors so basically

amber oracle
#

most likely different switches

tight pulsar
#

stems used in milky gateron housings:

  • red (gateron red)
  • yellow (gateron yellow)
  • orange (tangerine r1)
  • light green (punchy greens)
  • dark green (tangerine r2 dark green)
  • dark blue (mod-m linear)
  • 9009 pink (everglide sakura pink)
  • 9009 green (fei)
  • purple (durock L4)
  • weird blue on numpad dot (gateron giant)
amber oracle
#

its fairly normal in ergo boards to have a "sweep" of different switches

queen sigil
#

ok so they arent completely different switches

tight pulsar
#

yeah basically just different frankenswitches with different stems

queen sigil
#

man this GB for these caps ended today

#

feels bad

#

r2

#

doesnt look

#

too bad

sharp kindle
#

i wouldnt cop those

#

but they look

#

intersting

queen sigil
#

but that curve isnt the best

tight pulsar
#

@amber oracle sadly cant find any other shots it was just a one off not many photos :(

queen sigil
#

like WSX is really slanted

#

and then it kinda mellows out

tight pulsar
#

eh just looks like a standard split alice layout not super angle curve

queen sigil
#

but it has the nav cluster

#

yeah

amber oracle
#

darn @tight pulsar

queen sigil
#

i woudlnt get this

#

but what is this

#

its sending

tight pulsar
#

hm Maybe in Mechs but not really in general. Boards with multiple solder masks and silk screens have been a thing for a long time, it's just expensive and impractical. Boldport is probably one of the most well know examples of that. https://boldport.com/shop/the-gent There is also examples of UV Printed PCBs out there.

queen sigil
#

holy

#

this is like a 4k image

#

why

tight pulsar
#

oh yeah i saw that run i said nope

queen sigil
#

yeah

#

idk what it is

#

it literally looks like a toy

tight pulsar
#

also kinda tempted to grab a pain27 off github and get a pcb cut lol

queen sigil
#

Ok

#

I was also tempted to get one

#

lol

#

its just so amazing

#

its a 35% keyboard but for people who dont want 40% boards

#

the karina

#

you kow a GB is bad when they expect to sell 100 units in a month

tight pulsar
#

40% people are another breed theres too many in the ohio mk server and they scare the other normal people like me

#

its like a cult

queen sigil
#

lol

#

another brered

#

true

#

two different "panda" switches have Gbs going on rn

#

one's 55 cents

tight pulsar
#

yeah the ones on taobao

queen sigil
#

"tropical linear switch"

#

what thee

#

pom stem polycarb top nylon bottom

tight pulsar
#

theres been a bunch of clones in the past month
Night Cherry (Sakura?) (58g)
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=614232141153
Mengmoda (62g)
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=627583952849
also some Lumia switches that aims to "pull the holy panda off the altar"
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?ft=t&id=630918123647

queen sigil
#

wait so those are all

amber oracle
#

ah, you have hit the "hipster for the sake of being hipster" branch of the MK community @queen sigil

queen sigil
#

holy panda clones?

tight pulsar
#

yeah those are all hp clones

queen sigil
#

neat

#

ive met some strange keeb people

tight pulsar
#

the switch collectors discord has a channel for a bunch of different new switches on taobao and theres been like at least half a dozen recently hp clones

sharp kindle
#

are taobao clones good?

queen sigil
#

someone was actively trying to convince people looking for full sizes to get ortholinears

sharp kindle
#

i mean even half decent

tight pulsar
#

theyre like 95% as good as the og ones and 99% as good as the current drop ones for like half the price

sharp kindle
#

oh damn

tight pulsar
#

feker pandas were super cheap and like 90-95% as good as the pandas

queen sigil
#

Im not a fan of holy pandas tho

#

im still looking at end game linears

tight pulsar
#

also heres a tip leo unless a new linear has new housings or something or its not a jwk switch it is the same as all the other dozen jwk recolors

queen sigil
#

yeah

#

im waiting forr something new

tight pulsar
#

just get a cheap jwk switch and put a cherry top on it same smoothness and much better sound/feel easiest endgame linear

sharp kindle
#

i really like tactiles

#

but i dont like tactiles

#

theres something about it

tight pulsar
#

wut

sharp kindle
#

i can only use tactiles for short bursts

queen sigil
#

congratulations

#

you make no sense

sharp kindle
#

and then i only want to touch linears

tight pulsar
#

get smaller bump tactiles then

sharp kindle
#

hmmm maybe

tight pulsar
#

something like ergo clear sized bump

queen sigil
#

do i get 15g springs or 150 gram sprrings

sharp kindle
#

none

queen sigil
sharp kindle
#

i religiously stay away from all clickies

queen sigil
#

150g box jades

sharp kindle
#

clickies make me wanna hurl

queen sigil
#

causees a sonic boom

sharp kindle
#

i can handle something like a box white

amber oracle
#

the true endgame is not having to rely on switches at all

#

but that aint going to happen for a number of years

sharp kindle
#

but if you have jades within a 10 feet radius of me

endgame keyboard review - samsung phone

sharp kindle
#

i have to crank up the volume on my headset

tight pulsar
sharp kindle
#

ooooooooooh

#

i want gmk camping keycaps but im gonna have to starve myself

queen sigil
#

thats a nice vintage set

sharp kindle
#

to get them

amber oracle
#

imagine just having a impulse sent to your fingers that makes your brain "understand" that you have engaged the key

queen sigil
#

Idk about the mods

amber oracle
#

that is endgame :)

sharp kindle
#

naed do you mean

amber oracle
#

because at that point, you can type on anything

#

anywhere

sharp kindle
#

using a smartphone keyboard

#

without looking down

queen sigil
#

yo I aint gonna rerach that endgame until they make it so I can type at 300wpm with keyboard sounds inmy head

sharp kindle
#

cause thats what it sounds like

amber oracle
#

except, current smartphone keyboards require touch

#

meaning, there is impact

queen sigil
#

0g actuation force

sharp kindle
#

well true

queen sigil
#

op

amber oracle
#

which is the thing you want to avoid ideally

sharp kindle
#

computer chips in ur brain

#

thats how you achieve that endgame

tight pulsar
#

ill stick with my keyboard thank u

tacit wing
#

the endgame is an illusion

amber oracle
#

light/laser reading of your finger positions is the more likely result from my pov @sharp kindle

#

but NOT done via projection on a surface

#

but in midair

queen sigil
#

putting keyboard into head

#

use brain as mechanical keyboard

sharp kindle
#

i sometimes feel like naed is on cocaine

tight pulsar
#

yeah but my brain doesnt go thocc thocc

sharp kindle
#

this is a prime example

queen sigil
#

yeah but my brain doesnt go thocc thocc
@tight pulsar EXACTLY

#

but I like a thock

#

eather than a thocc

amber oracle
#

@sharp kindle consider the following:

tight pulsar
#

also i need to find a tripod for my phone brb

sharp kindle
#

ur probably just very smart

#

way smarter than any of us in this server

amber oracle
#

how do you think the hands of the current 20 year olds are going to behave in 30+ years?

queen sigil
#

true

#

robot hands

amber oracle
#

because from my pov the current problems we have with RSI are nothing

queen sigil
#

or robot brain

sharp kindle
#

well im assuming by then

#

i wont be obsessed with keyboards

#

ill be able to handle a mac keyboarrd

amber oracle
#

no, but you will have been typing on one for MANY years

sharp kindle
#

by then

tight pulsar
#

why did we go from cool looking pcbs to rsi and chronic wrist pain

amber oracle
#

also, i am not necessarily smarter, i just dabble in different things than a lot of people here :)

#

as i said in the gaming channel a while back

sharp kindle
#

true

amber oracle
#

i truly enjoy that i can look in there and see a conversation that makes 100% sense to the people having it

#

but i have bugger all idea about what they are talking about :D

sharp kindle
#

it means you really like to converse with other people and you are genuinely interested in many things

#

my god

queen sigil
#

im totally gonna get rsi

amber oracle
#

aye

sharp kindle
#

im turniing into a naed simp

#

ahhhh

amber oracle
#

:D

sharp kindle
#

oh no

tight pulsar
#

also if we have things that arent keyboards to type in the future i can use mine as a baseball bat to defend myself

tacit wing
sharp kindle
#

omg that one

tacit wing
#

1.6 players man

#

scuffed postures

amber oracle
#

my right hand itches when looking at that @tacit wing

sharp kindle
#

i legit watched a vid from john "rambo" kim with that photo in that today

tight pulsar
#

okay what is happening with his right pinky tho

sharp kindle
#

if you think that is scuffed

solar raft
#

What the heck is he doing with his pinky

tacit wing
#

rambo kim got me so self-conscious of my ergonomics

sharp kindle
#

look at bodyy's mouse grip @tight pulsar

#

cs players have some wack mousegrips

amber oracle
#

right pinky is for stabilization of the mouse

sharp kindle
#

from swag to twistzz to bodyy

tacit wing
#

doesnt bodyy click mouse 1 with his thumb lol

solar raft
#

hmmm, I use finger next to that

#

odd

sharp kindle
#

im not sure

tacit wing
#

could be a different player

sharp kindle
#

but at least he doesnt have walk set to mouse2

#

like mezii

tacit wing
sharp kindle
#

i thought i had some scuffed binds

tight pulsar
#

okay swags is the weirdest of all of them

sharp kindle
#

man i was wrong

#

yeah

tacit wing
#

i didnt knew who he was until the new C9 team

sharp kindle
#

neither did i

#

if the collosus doesn't work out

#

its gonna be very awkward

#

very very awkward

#

imagine the hltv forums

tight pulsar
#

hm how well do u think using a tablet would work for csgo

#

imagine the spray patterns

tacit wing
#

i want woxic to have his redemption arc with collosus

sharp kindle
#

hm how well do u think using a tablet would work for csgo
@tight pulsar using a tablet with a stylus for aiming could be meta

#

legit

tacit wing
#

dude mouse sold woxic for a 💩 ton of money and got Bymas for free LMAO

sharp kindle
#

im also pretty sure warowl played csgo on his dance mat

#

and im pretty sure

#

anomaly used a steering wheel to play

#

so anything is possible

queen sigil
#

thankyou paypal

sharp kindle
#

lmao

#

thats

amber oracle
#

@sharp kindle and this current topic is one where i will have to trust that you are all not having a stroke. because i dont understand jack of that :)

sharp kindle
#

F

#

trust me im not having a stroke

#

i just think in weird ways

#

from my pov

#

using a tablet and a stylus could be more precise than a mouse

tight pulsar
sharp kindle
#

hot

tight pulsar
#

yes buy it now

sharp kindle
#

i cant afford it though

#

sadge

tacit wing
#

using a tablet and a stylus could be more precise than a mouse
@sharp kindle thats kinda why i find smaller mouse to have more precision

amber oracle
#

"using a tablet and a stylus could be more precise than a mouse" <- if you have absolute mapping for the trackpad with the stylus? yes, potentially

sharp kindle
#

definitely

tacit wing
#

i havent tried playing osu with a pen and tablet

tight pulsar
#

yeah same im poor

sharp kindle
#

i havent tried osu period

#

my friends all play it

#

but

amber oracle
#

problem is, you are just asking for wrist pains with that setup thou

sharp kindle
#

osu looks like a game you sweat real hard at

tight pulsar
#

wrist pains are temporary those flicks are eternal

sharp kindle
#

wrist pains are temporary those flicks are eternal
@tight pulsar wrong
