[last plinth]

[brisk parcel]

I did, a solid one

[sick ocean]

59.5in x 25.5in

[sharp kindle]

i just didnt want him to spend 500 bucks

[brisk parcel]

it fit within his budget

[last plinth]

Without getting a amp and a dac

[sick ocean]

just measured

[timber ridge]

i mean there is a lot of good budget options too

[brisk parcel]

dude you should see his parts list

[timber ridge]

thats what i did with my setup

[brisk parcel]

he's spending $500 on a 1080p moniot

monitor*

[last plinth]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VVxCz7

[sharp kindle]

@sick ocean just get a 48 by 24 inch mousepad

[tacit wing]

he seems passionate about audio
@sharp kindle if tht was the case, the clouds wouldn't cross his mind

[sharp kindle]

bruh idk CRAP abt audio stuff

NOTHING

[brisk parcel]

and he's buying a CPU with more than what he will probably ever use/need, he's spending too much on his mobo

[tight pulsar]

that list is interesting at best

[timber ridge]

i got a pair of coolermasters for my budget headset bc theyre takstars clones

[sharp kindle]

ok sennheiser

chill

oh crap

yeah get a cheaper mobo

[brisk parcel]

bro

I literally spent weeks of my own time to help him

hours of looking at things and comparing

[tight pulsar]

also cntrl dont tell naed ur getting cloud 2s unless u wanna get verbally assulted

[timber ridge]

arent you playing fps stuff like csgo

[last plinth]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3ZbRTJ

[brisk parcel]

@amber oracle he is settling with cloud 2s

[timber ridge]

that seems a bit overkill

[brisk parcel]

I am over

[last plinth]

Ninja

[tight pulsar]

i didnt even pay for my cloud 2s and naed still insults them

[sharp kindle]

yse

i agree

[brisk parcel]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[elder remnant]

^^^^^^^^^^^^

[brisk parcel]

LITERALLY

PLEASE

[elder remnant]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[sharp kindle]

no way a 13 year old needs that

[brisk parcel]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

this

[timber ridge]

why get a 3080 for 1080p gaming ?

[elder remnant]

13?????????

[brisk parcel]

FRICKING THIS

[west hornet]

spam

[sharp kindle]

cntrl get a nice modest build

[tight pulsar]

go back to foobar ghost

[timber ridge]

5900x, 3080 and 32gb is not needed for 1080p gaming

[sharp kindle]

somewhere in the ballpark of 1200-1500

[sick ocean]

https://www.amazon.ca/Extended-Custom-Professional-Gaming-Mouse/dp/B07P2N27WR/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=48+x+24+mouse+pad&sr=8-1

[brisk parcel]

it's not even about the money

it's how he's spending it

[sharp kindle]

its just overkill

[timber ridge]

its not even about being 13

like

[sharp kindle]

you do have to agree

[timber ridge]

it jus doesnt make sense to get that

[sharp kindle]

no 13 year old needs that

[timber ridge]

in general

[sick ocean]

does the 1 I linked above look alright?

[brisk parcel]

if you spent that money right, you could go far beyond what you're getting

[elder remnant]

5900x is such overkill

[timber ridge]

you dont need that for esports

[elder remnant]

5600x is fine

[brisk parcel]

you need SKILL for esports

[elder remnant]

and maybe a 3070

[last plinth]

I have skill

[timber ridge]

5600x, 3070 and 16gb ram

[brisk parcel]

^^^^^^^^^^^

[timber ridge]

bam

[brisk parcel]

THIS

[sharp kindle]

ok sennheiser you gotta chill

can we calm down here

please

just a bit

[elder remnant]

what rank in like overwatch / cs cntrl?

[sharp kindle]

ok

[brisk parcel]

I am perfectly calm

[last plinth]

I was capped at 60fps

[elder remnant]

some esport

[timber ridge]

ninja cracked

its ok

let him b

[sharp kindle]

ok cntrl

get a modest build

dont go all out please

no need for all of that gaming juice

[tight pulsar]

please dont believe you will automatically become amazing on 240 hz

[last plinth]

In cs i was like mg 2

[elder remnant]

mg2

bruh

[brisk parcel]

I literally said I don't even know HOW many times, you will literally, LITERALLY. regret almost everything on that list

[last plinth]

On wingman i was like mg elite

[brisk parcel]

you will grow up and learn more

[elder remnant]

i'm beating dmgs on a 1060/ fx 6300

[sharp kindle]

ok

[brisk parcel]

and then you will regret

[sharp kindle]

cntrl get a cheaper build

[tacit wing]

i got to LEM with a 144hz panel if that says anything

[sharp kindle]

and im sorry sennheiser

[elder remnant]

you don't need super expensive hardware (obv at 1080p)

[sharp kindle]

for telling him he doesnt need a 500 dollar setup

sorry

i feel like this is partially my fault

i told cntrl not to get it

and now

[tight pulsar]

lol its only been a year and im already regretting parts of my build but it was a good learning experience

[brisk parcel]

no no it's not about that

[sharp kindle]

there is afreaking war in this channel

[brisk parcel]

I mean partially

[elder remnant]

nachos it's been a month and i already regret some things lol

[sharp kindle]

sorry guys

[brisk parcel]

I gave him plenty of options at different price ranges

[elder remnant]

learned a lot too

[sharp kindle]

cntrl its up to you to make good decisions

[manic sierra]

eh its a nice pc hate the monitor but its a nice pc

[sharp kindle]

if you really want a 500 dollar audio setup

[timber ridge]

the pc is nice

[elder remnant]

it's a pretty good pc but just overkill

[timber ridge]

but not needed

[sharp kindle]

ask sennheiser cause half the time yall are speaking gibberish

[timber ridge]

with what he needs

[tight pulsar]

but honestly i wouldnt change my build its fine as it is

[manic sierra]

plus he was restrained on the motherboard

its actually a good choice

[brisk parcel]

like the 4XX with the schtack, 58X, 6XX, 400i, a JDS atom, magni 3 or heresy, the LD, even a frickin XDUO

[last plinth]

I learned a lot

[tacit wing]

cntrl do you even plan to OC your chip?

[sharp kindle]

cntrl get a good audio setup

[last plinth]

Yes

[sharp kindle]

and listen to sennheiser

also

[last plinth]

I planning to oc

[sharp kindle]

try tweaking ur pc

its a bit overkill

[elder remnant]

everything is fine other than monitor

[brisk parcel]

you could probably LITERALLY get a 4XX and run it off your onboard

[sharp kindle]

if ur playing zero triple a titles

[brisk parcel]

obv not recommended but

invest in audio, please

at the very least

[timber ridge]

why a 12core cpu for 1080p esport gaming

[brisk parcel]

get a decent pair of headphones

that's what I said

[sharp kindle]

yes that i agree with

but dude

[brisk parcel]

8 cores MAX

[tight pulsar]

get smol tube setup

[sharp kindle]

500 bucks is a bit too much

for a 13 year old

if its not a lot for audio

im wrong

and go ahead

[manic sierra]

well once we switch that out for a 4k monitor it starts to make more sense

[sharp kindle]

cause i dont know crap abt audio

i should leave this to you

[brisk parcel]

maybe so, but still, it's a VERY solid base and you can go far

[last plinth]

I dont wanna switch it out for a 4k monitor

[manic sierra]

no esports but some really pretty 4k AAA titles

[elder remnant]

a cheaper 1080p monitor

[brisk parcel]

DAC and AMP are $100/each, for decent enough ones to matter, and headphones at least $150

[last plinth]

Instead ill add a 4k monitor

[tight pulsar]

@sharp kindle if u think thats bad dont look at me and keyboards

[elder remnant]

you don't need a special benq less motion blur blah blah

[tacit wing]

i often see alot of peope bottleneck their system with the monitors theyre hooking up to them

[last plinth]

Wait i could get 8k right

Could 3080 run 8k

[tight pulsar]

do you want to spend 5000

[manic sierra]

no

[brisk parcel]

[last plinth]

Or nvm

[elder remnant]

yes play your esport at 8k

ok i'm going to do homework good luck fellas

[manic sierra]

it cant 8k well enough to be worth it

[last plinth]

Bro

im not gonna just play esport titles

[manic sierra]

3090 if you want barely 60 fps in 8k

[brisk parcel]

^

you have to

[tight pulsar]

or just 170fps 1440p with dxaa

[brisk parcel]

^

[tacit wing]

that Zowie panel is purebred for esports. its not optimal if youre NOT just going to play esports titles.

[brisk parcel]

1440p is perfect, 1440p 144

[tacit wing]

i have 1080p 240hz panel that scales well with my rig

[tight pulsar]

1440p 144hz ips masterrace

[tacit wing]

5.0ghz 9600k and a 2060

[tight pulsar]

lmao imagine this dac and like a tiny single tube amp on top

[brisk parcel]

knowing schiit they would

[tacit wing]

and i play 1280 x 960 csgo lol

[last plinth]

I feel like im losing blood flow to my brain

[tight pulsar]

slap a vali on top

[tacit wing]

i wouldnt get a hybrid tbh but thats just me

[brisk parcel]

I have a hybrid tube

LD is a hyrbid

hybrid*

I think

pretty sure

lmao

[tacit wing]

o i thought it was push pull

[brisk parcel]

not sure haven't looked in a hot min

[tight pulsar]

okay it would be pretty much exactly how it looked in my head

[brisk parcel]

watch fortnut come in for the kill cause of it lmao

[tacit wing]

i had a sudden urge to get a 789 the other day

i dont need it

[timber ridge]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RkTTJf

[brisk parcel]

You don’t realize you need it

[timber ridge]

bam

[brisk parcel]

Lmao

[timber ridge]

ez build

[tight pulsar]

hm so for a vali/modi schtack i would just need rca and a power cable for the amp right? or would i need something for the dac

[timber ridge]

cntrl

peep the list

[tacit wing]

hm so for a vali/modi schtack i would just need rca and a power cable for the amp right? or would i need something for the dac
@tight pulsar modi is powered by usb from your PC

[brisk parcel]

^

[tacit wing]

only your amp needs the power from your wall

with the included wallwart

or powerbrick whatever you call it

[brisk parcel]

^^^

AYYYY

elite

pog

[tight pulsar]

okay so if that comes with the amp and i probably have a usbc cable laying around i would just need an rca cable then

[tacit wing]

i have mine on my UPS because i had a power surge in the past that killed my studio monitors

rip

okay so if that comes with the amp and i probably have a usbc cable laying around i would just need an rca cable then
@tight pulsar the usb cable is included

[tight pulsar]

oh really thats nice

[tacit wing]

its very short tho :(

thats one complaint of mine

[tight pulsar]

hm

i should have a long one laying around

[tacit wing]

RIP. I get my cans on Saturday @brisk parcel

[brisk parcel]

I get mine tomorrow <(

😦

[last plinth]

Ninja if i ever wanna get audio equipment ill hit u up

[dense harness]

whats the best gaming vr

[west hornet]

quest 2, hp reverb g2, index, maybe upcoming decagear 1

[dense harness]

an overkill one

i have 2080 super with ryzen 9 3900x

[west hornet]

reverb has best res, index better controllers and refresh rate

[queen sigil]

2080 super

[dense harness]

i just built it like 2 months sgo too

[west hornet]

zacks guide to vr https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sv1Hgfuhm6_i0wOIHTmPHRxmO0mpO7DjvU3T4XVyUFU/edit#gid=0

[dense harness]

so sad i dont have money to upgrade now

[west hornet]

sad list dont have much

it doesnt have quest 2 but have a look in pins in #gaming

zack have a few paragraph posted

ye basically if you want best either reverb g2 or index

[timber ridge]

vr looks cool

might hav to get a headset one day

[brisk parcel]

I play beat saber at least an hour every day

party of my daily regiment, I can burn like 600 cals/hr if I really go at it

I aim for 1k every day tho

[timber ridge]

what headset do you hav

[brisk parcel]

OG vive

[timber ridge]

ooo

[brisk parcel]

bought it 4 years ago

back when it was still $800 new

[timber ridge]

reverb g2 looks cool

but i dont really know how vr works

[west hornet]

wish i could play beat saber

[brisk parcel]

it's super cool, but requires a lot of GPU and a decent CPU

my 6700k is starting to show its age

[manic sierra]

I like my O+ , Index, and Quest 2

[timber ridge]

do i have to buy the sensor thingys if i get a headset

[west hornet]

wow so many

[timber ridge]

and my pc is p capable so i can run vr

[manic sierra]

I have a wife who VRs too

I dont get to use the Index very often

[west hornet]

i not allowed to get quest 2 because facebook so i will proabb;y end up buying speakers by beginning of next year

[manic sierra]

seems silly with the whole facebook restriction

you can just make a fake account that no one ever uses

[west hornet]

well with them banning fake accounts

i never use my facebook account

[timber ridge]

if i buy the reverb g2, am i gonna need to buy anything else for it

[manic sierra]

I feel like you have to do something to get banned and being on the ecosytem buying VR games means you should be good

[timber ridge]

or is jus like a plug in play type of situation

[manic sierra]

nope its plug and play

minor setup stuff

like walking around the room with it to show it boundries and what not

[lyric hinge]

I bought G502 and G604... will let you know what I think

[timber ridge]

ooo do you have a 3070 rn or are you planning to get one?

[manic sierra]

I really like my G703

[lyric hinge]

I have one. Microcenter is bae

[timber ridge]

im supposed to have one

but its not looking too good rn

[lyric hinge]

Yikes. Yeah I went down to microcenter day after launch and they still had a bunch. Got super lucky.

[timber ridge]

nice

[queen sigil]

the closest microcenter for me is like

one of the must popular

[timber ridge]

too far

[queen sigil]

[timber ridge]

i need reviews on the gmmk pro asap

[lyric hinge]

it's a GiMMicK

😄

[queen sigil]

what

no

not funny

banned

[lyric hinge]

😦

In all seriousness, does look pretty interesting

[timber ridge]

its its good

could be one of the best kits in that price range

the next nk65 lmao

[raw quest]

is the gk61 a good gaming / coding keyboard

[manic sierra]

aren't all keyboards that are good at being keyboards good for coding? lol

[queen sigil]

define a coding keyboard

[raw quest]

like im gonna game and do programming

something ergonomical

[queen sigil]

no clue what a coding keyboarrd is

[manic sierra]

well I would assume that unlike that keyboard a coding keyboard would have a 10 key....

[queen sigil]

Literally all keyboard layouts are the same

unless youre getting

A

HHKB ,WKL,Ortholinear,split

or something else

[raw quest]

well i am looking for a decent red switch keyboard aluminium frame

or any durable frame

[timber ridge]

oo

does the gk61 have an alu case?

[raw quest]

idk

it has options for switches

[timber ridge]

im p sure its plastic

[manic sierra]

do you like romerg keys?

[queen sigil]

it has an almuminum case option

no

romerG bad

bad

no

[manic sierra]

lol I like them

[queen sigil]

:(

[manic sierra]

what about the CORSAIR - K70

aluminum frame red keys

[queen sigil]

no

wait

idk

corsair generally is meh

[manic sierra]

thats the only corsair one I like

of course Im typing on some romer Gs right now so there is that

[queen sigil]

ramer g is

no good

romer g

[manic sierra]

travel to short?

I like that I barely have to touch them

takes some getting used to though

[queen sigil]

they are like really bad for rtactiles

and they are erally

like

not smooth

[manic sierra]

yeah you just kiss them and you can fly

press to hard and its no good

more linear than tactile

[tight pulsar]

if ur looking for an ergonomic board id recommend checking out split or ortho boards

[marsh flint]

My desk is going to be cramped and I want to put my pc on the ground, but I have carpet. What should I put it on?

[tight pulsar]

put something hard on the carpet and put the pc on said hard thing

[timber ridge]

you can buy a little tray thing to put your pc on

or jus use cardboard

[marsh flint]

Lmao ok

[pallid wyvern]

Anyone open to help

[queen sigil]

help with what

[pallid wyvern]

so i installed new ram and my peripherals randomly stopworking

[tacit wing]

you need to download more peripherals

[sturdy barn]

Someone needed help up in here?

Knock knock knock the IT guys here open up.

[tacit wing]

[west hornet]

Well that’s interesting

[queen sigil]

@pallid wyvern brryce is here to feed you help

[west hornet]

Check that ram is in correct configuration and settings are correct

Also maybe #cpus-mobo-and-memory proper place for that

[timber ridge]

leo

i think every other chat is cursed ngl

[pallid wyvern]

@west hornet i have the b 550 a pro and i put it in the 2 and 4th slot

[queen sigil]

I feel sick

[timber ridge]

hmm

[queen sigil]

low profile

with gaps

make me want to puke

unless its the sat75 clone

its ugly but its also 100$

[timber ridge]

they charge like 50 dollars more for high profile

[queen sigil]

wait who

who

[timber ridge]

drop

[queen sigil]

oh

[timber ridge]

wait

thats not the alt

[queen sigil]

yeah

its ugly

thats what it is

[timber ridge]

what exactly is that

[queen sigil]

the drop shift

1800 layout

[timber ridge]

that layout looks so wrong

[queen sigil]

chose to do low profile

[timber ridge]

atleast with gaps

but even still without gaps its still weird looking

[queen sigil]

it loks alot better

with good keycaps

and a high profile caase

[timber ridge]

high profile is a must

[timber ridge]

cherry profile ?

[queen sigil]

idk

probs

wait cherry profile what

[queen sigil]

And?

[high fulcrum]

O i have that keycap set

[zinc thistle]

hey I'm looking into building a building a 60% keyboard any suggestions on cheap barebone kits?

also switches

[tacit wing]

Sennheiser needs to chill a bit on the clampforce of their headphones

it made the pads lopsided...

[thick plank]

...

You realize that is an issue with the 600 series pads @tacit wing

You need to replace them every so often

[neon quartz]

fortnut#7992 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[thick plank]

Sound gets screwed over if you dont

Loke how do you not know this but praise this headset so much...

[queen sigil]

hey I'm looking into building a building a 60% keyboard any suggestions on cheap barebone kits?
@zinc thistle sorry for the late reply, I don't know what you consider budget but the GK61 is always a good option

[zinc thistle]

@queen sigil mainly under 100 can go over a little

[tacit wing]

You realize that is an issue with the 600 series pads @tacit wing
@thick plank i know that...

can u do me a favor and get off my d!ck thanks

all i said was Sennheiser needs to loosen up on the clampforce a bit and continue to berate mfs for no good reason

[last plinth]

Do a mod

[tacit wing]

the only "mod" i can do is to just break it more in

and replace pads

if the clamp force wasnt this heavy i wouldnt need to change it every so often

1 and a half pounds is waaaaay too much

the velour itself is fine, but the foam sunk

[brisk parcel]

You do know that some pads actually are built like that, these ones specifically aren’t but

Also

@tacit wing they’re out for delivery

Fingers crossed it’s before 1

[brisk parcel]

3 hours and 15 mins, coming down to the wire as to if they'll be here on time...

dino you may be able to use yours before me

[normal barn]

lol

how

lmao

@brisk parcel @tacit wing didn u 2 order really early

like the day it was realeased or sumthing

didn thye like promised fedex 2 dya shipping

🤣

[brisk parcel]

yeah

but they shipped from the warehouse a lot earlier than expected

so they were actually supposed to go out today and be here sunday

but

they didn't have time to manually change the orders

so, we all got an extra $10

and still gonna get them early anyway

[west hornet]

2 say shipping not delivery

sad

[normal barn]

mao

early shiippng and free 10$

what is this

[brisk parcel]

ikr pog

[normal barn]

ikr

if its really good and worth it

imma skip pc38x

and just get

the 5xx

[west hornet]

make sure you look into it. try it if possible or maybe even deva but probably hard to find. 5xx is not for everyone

[brisk parcel]

I would wait a bit

wait for reviews to come in

and for people to POROPERLY pit them against the deva to see if they really are similar

because if they're objectively "better" to most then they're probs a safe bet

I'm also talking to someone on the newegg discord about fortnut's "a dual sided magnet structure on a planar is not possible"

[timber ridge]

maybe today ill get my 3070 lmao

[brisk parcel]

COME ON GET OFF THE TRUCK AND GET TO MY HOUSE

wish I could just go there and get it smh

[timber ridge]

atleast you can track your pacakge

this is all i get lmao

o and this

[brisk parcel]

lmao

[timber ridge]

been like that for 2 days

but im tempted to get the new iphone rn

debating on it

[brisk parcel]

oh god

not gonna say anything

don't wanna go there

[timber ridge]

go ther

im not an isheep

[copper sapphire]

Get a samsung for 120 hz display and better processing power

[timber ridge]

i use both android and iphone

[brisk parcel]

hear me out, the S10e is a pretty good option

and a very nice one too

[timber ridge]

iphones have a better processor but samsung displays are nicer

[brisk parcel]

galaxy A50 on a budget, even a google pixel isn't too bad

[copper sapphire]

iPhones processor might be better, but not 400000 dollars more

[calm cobalt]

Hello

[timber ridge]

[west hornet]

hmm

[timber ridge]

zowie s2, g703, g403, viper mini, model o-, and gpw

[amber oracle]

@calm cobalt if you dont actually ask. ... well. no one can help.

[calm cobalt]

Ok

I just need a monitor that can go vertical 1080p

[queen sigil]

#old-monitors-and-tv

bruh its like displays chat doesnt exist

[amber oracle]

not how it works @calm cobalt

[lyric hinge]

They can all go vertical

[calm cobalt]

I mean come with a stand that can

[lyric hinge]

But you probably want them to rotate the stand too.

[queen sigil]

you just need a monitor that can connect to a stand

[amber oracle]

i have @ him in #old-monitors-and-tv

so if you guys just return to keyboard talk, all will be fine and dandy again.

[daring zenith]

Audiophile talk

[timber ridge]

not all heroes wear capes

[tight pulsar]

@west hornet getting a clip in stab so i can have a full backspace key cause i couldnt get a screw in stab there when i built it so i did split bksp

[west hornet]

ahh

[frail summit]

yo guys

you know for like some keyboards they have like preinstalled cables

can you get like coil cable cover for it to like somewhat make it look like it is a coil cable?

like for the huntsman elite, im trinna buy that and it has a preinstalled cable

can i get a coil cable cover that makes it look like it has a coiled cable?

[tight pulsar]

what

[amber oracle]

@frail summit short answer is: yes.

long answer is: It will look horrible. So dont.

[frail summit]

oh damn

but like which ones are they

i'll look at em

[amber oracle]

you are asking for something that can bend physics and hide what is already there

[queen sigil]

like a non detachable cable?

[frail summit]

yes and no

like holup

[amber oracle]

@queen sigil he is talking about a cover/sleeve

[queen sigil]

oh

[amber oracle]

which is just going to look daft at the best of times

[queen sigil]

doesnt the huntsman have a detachable cable

or is that just the TE

dang you razer

[amber oracle]

no idea

[frail summit]

alhi

it's only the mini and the TE

and a numpad costs extra

which is really annoying

[queen sigil]

its called razer sucks

[frail summit]

lmao

[queen sigil]

[frail summit]

cuz the thing is razer rgb can sync with like half the RGBcompanies in the world

the major ones

like you got phillips hue, nanoleaf, and like a buncha other ones

[queen sigil]

rgb sync is overr rated

nano leaf and phillips hue is extremely over priced

[frail summit]

oh damn

huh

ima see

[queen sigil]

nanoleafs are 200$ for a couple panels and one phillips hue bulb is like 50$

[frail summit]

yee

thas the thing

@queen sigil https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/razer-blackwidow-elite-backlit-mechanical-green-switch-ergonomic-gaming-keyboard-english/13020909

iss cheap

[queen sigil]

why would you call a 130$ keyboard cheap

[frail summit]

retails for 200-250

thas why

like the sale is prety big

[amber oracle]

a sticker does not make it "cheap"

[queen sigil]

Yeah but rarzer products arer just

bad

[frail summit]

oh damn

what do you recooment?

[queen sigil]

except for like some of their mice

[frail summit]

yee

what about corsair then?

[amber oracle]

consider this @frail summit : by your logic IF i put a 10k sticker on a 100usd keyboard as the before price. It suddenly becomes great value

[frail summit]

true

[amber oracle]

and that is just not how it actually works :)

[frail summit]

ok

[amber oracle]

but listen to Leo

[queen sigil]

What switches do you like

[amber oracle]

he likes to talk a lot, so you should be entertained for a while :)

[queen sigil]

hey

[frail summit]

lmaoo

any switches are good

[queen sigil]

I don't know if that's an insult or not

[frail summit]

nah iss aii

dw

but any switchs are good

[queen sigil]

Switches

[frail summit]

considering i have rubber dome rii now

[queen sigil]

I'd recommend (if you don't know what you like) any tactile or rlinearr switch

[amber oracle]

Perfect Leo, that is how it should be :D

[frail summit]

yea

[queen sigil]

as long as it's from a good brand

[frail summit]

like i would prefer tactile tho

yea

[queen sigil]

do you have a budget?

and do you need a numpad

[frail summit]

i dont really need a numpad

and my budget is about 200

[queen sigil]

do you need arrow keys

[frail summit]

the ones at the bottom right?

[queen sigil]

wdym

[frail summit]

not really cuz i dont use em but for school then yea

[abstract shard]

Black widow elite with oranges is what I got a month ago, absolutely love it

Jus sayin

[frail summit]

okay

[queen sigil]

razer bad

no

razer uses kalih switches and their keycaps are trash

[abstract shard]

Only thing I don’t like, is that the orange lights are a little dim

[queen sigil]

and they arent hot swop

[abstract shard]

I tried making my setup all orange for Halloween, looked like my keyboard was skin colour lul

[frail summit]

lmao

[queen sigil]

why would you get orange switches

[abstract shard]

Because they’re great

[frail summit]

but @queen sigil they use kailh switches

?

[queen sigil]

yes

just weird ones

[frail summit]

okay thas f'ed

[abstract shard]

Not really

Also, what exactly makes their key caps bad?

Because I like them

[frail summit]

idk

[queen sigil]

they're cheap ABS

[frail summit]

honestly mights just wait another few months for a better keyboard

[queen sigil]

thin keycaps, wear out easily

[abstract shard]

And?

[frail summit]

for now might just buy a mouse

[abstract shard]

Braeh they’re not thin

[queen sigil]

keycaps get shiny easily

they have hardly any texture

the paint wears of easily

paint chips are rreally common

this is from a razer keyboard

razer vs another cheap keyboard keycaps

[brisk parcel]

still not here yet

` hr

1 hr*

then i gotta wait til sunday

[queen sigil]

u really want them dont you

[brisk parcel]

I do

[queen sigil]

lol

also razer keyboards arer stupidly big

[frail summit]

loll

[brisk parcel]

still on the stupid vehicle for delivery 😢

go faster

go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[last plinth]

Did i just do something illegal

[brisk parcel]

probably

[last plinth]

I registered for steelseries warranty but i didnt have receipt so i made a fake one

[timber ridge]

you made a fake receipt ?

[sage shadow]

Uhhhh

[last plinth]

yea

[tight pulsar]

@brisk parcel do u have a single notification in any server

[timber ridge]

how did you make a fake receipt lmao

[amber oracle]

@last plinth you are aware that you break a law by doing that right?

[last plinth]

I bought it tho

I bought it in the store

[amber oracle]

you are faking a official document

[brisk parcel]

@tight pulsar wdym?

[amber oracle]

but you do you @last plinth.

[brisk parcel]

wdym by do I have a notification in any server?

[amber oracle]

@tight pulsar its called turning off notifications

[brisk parcel]

no I just mute specific channels

[queen sigil]

yes I do too

[brisk parcel]

I try to be active as much as I can in as many servers as possible if even to just pop in and say hi

[thick plank]

@queen sigil lmao, that keycap looks like they paid a 10 year old to paint it

[queen sigil]

yes its razer quality

[thick plank]

Not surprising though cause razer is known for cheaping out on keycaps

[brisk parcel]

AAAAAAAAA

THEYRE HERE

[queen sigil]

AAAAAAAAAAAAA

[amber oracle]

dont worry, they wont work

[queen sigil]

good job

delivery man arrived

[amber oracle]

or they will break after 2 minutes of use

[thick plank]

Congrats on the wired deva

[craggy canopy]

yeah fedex sucks 😦

[west hornet]

doa

depends on area, fedex good new me

[brisk parcel]

@thick plank don’t say a word

There’s a whole article proving they are not the deva, and I can not judge because I have not listened yet and neither have you

[west hornet]

the marketing is a bit weird, it more similar to deva than he500

[craggy canopy]

im gonna get the corsair void

wireles

[normal barn]

@brisk parcel dudeeeeeeeeeee

tell me

how good it is

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[brisk parcel]

listening right now

[normal barn]

is it better than ur hd58x and will i need a amp to run it

[timber ridge]

ooo he finally got it

[brisk parcel]

look at my status

about sums it up

just makes me want to CRANK

[timber ridge]

lmao

ninja has ascended

[brisk parcel]

so right off the bat

very close to the 58X for power, still at 1:30 on lowest gain setting

very similar volumes

but I WANT to crank it to 4 lmao

[timber ridge]

man

you make me wanna get a pair

[brisk parcel]

they feel like they're not on my head lmao, very light but I like it

very comfy

[thick plank]

It actually is way more power hungry

[timber ridge]

i have all my possible buys for this year planned out already

[thick plank]

Issue is that with a tin sounding high heavy headset yoh arent gonna be able to handle it as loud if yoh are a normal person

Without partial frequency deafness atleast

[timber ridge]

for this year, i have 3 more possible buys

keeb, phone and console

not expanding it any further

[thick plank]

@timber ridge 4xx is better in every category and cheaper unless you want loud highs and a metallic timber

[timber ridge]

im not touching anything audio related til next year lol

[thick plank]

Yea, im sure better options will be out by then

[brisk parcel]

I'm not going to dispute this with you

you have NOT listened to them, you can NOT judge

[thick plank]

Actually I have cause they are a deva

[brisk parcel]

when I get a chance to listen to devas I will

[thick plank]

Just with the pads of an he5se

Which doesnt even effect their mids or highs whichbis the issue if the deva

[brisk parcel]

they are not a deva, drop confirmed it and so did this article:

https://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/hifiman-deva-and-the-assumptions-behind-the-he5xx.10106/

also, dual sided magnet structure, not single sided

[amber oracle]

@brisk parcel let @thick plank be @thick plank and go and enjoy your cans

[thick plank]

Again, it isnt a dual sided magnet...

Here are both

[west hornet]

the magnet array is apparently identical to the deva

[amber oracle]

he seems to take pleasure in declaring things. Its your choice how you engage.

[thick plank]

@west hornet because they are

Trace layout is the same too

And they are using the same diaghram

Even the same mesh to avoid dust

[brisk parcel]

because physics dictates it can't be? isn't it possible to have magnets with different strengths? like say, a 60-40 balance?

[thick plank]

Litrrally a new headband and new pads

And different paint

[brisk parcel]

I'm all ears, tell me why I'm wrong

[thick plank]

Only the pads effect sohnd

[amber oracle]

@brisk parcel what are you still doing here?

bugger off and enjoy your headphones

[brisk parcel]

oh I very much enjoy them

[west hornet]

i saw some people put a seal to fix the bass extension a bit

[amber oracle]

because neither @thick plank or yourself are actually saying anything new

you are both just barfing up old bs

[thick plank]

They roll off but can handle going pretty low and still sound fluid at low frequencies

As most plannars can

Dynamics (especially closed backs) sound like ticks at low frequencies instead of sounding like the sound

[west hornet]

the main complaint i hear is that they were marketed as a he500 successor which they aren‘t really. but for the price i wouldnt expect them to be

[thick plank]

He500 is just completely different

In design and sound

Like literally nothing is similar

[rose creek]

Was it necessary? No probably not. Was it worth the $17? Absolutely

[thick plank]

Drop is really good at being misleading

[brisk parcel]

@rose creek ABSOLUITELY necessary

[west hornet]

and that’s where the controversy is

[brisk parcel]

lmao

[rose creek]

Gamer lights increase performance

So therefore I shall go pro in rocket league

[thick plank]

They have a couple good options but they are not honest about what they are selling tooboften

[brisk parcel]

rocket league?

bro, we gotta play sometime

love it so much

[west hornet]

ye they have a few good ones. but what ya get it your choice. my main complaint was shipping lol

[rose creek]

I’m trash lol

[brisk parcel]

idc

[craggy canopy]

me too but im not that good

[brisk parcel]

still mega pog

[rose creek]

But my pc comes in Monday and I’m trying to get better

[craggy canopy]

im silver 2 lol

[rose creek]

It’s a great game

I’m not even ranked I’ve barely played it

But I’ve had fun in the small amount I’ve played of it

[brisk parcel]

trust me, get into it some more and I'll even play with you idc

I'm d3-c1

not the best but def up there

[craggy canopy]

But I’ve had fun in the small amount I’ve played of it
@rose creek VERY good tip, practice hitting the ball from the wall

like hit it up then bounce off the wall

or drbbling it up the wall

[thick plank]

Their porta pro is a slightly cheaper already great value product, their focal while I actually have never heard are apparently good value for detail, the 6xx is great for a low budget mid lover, and they have a ton of great value iems. Issue is when they take a cheap product and sell it at an actually raised price and market it as a price drop of some completely different expensive headset like they did with the 5xx and the hd58x

I guess maybe the number 5 is code fkr scam for drop lol

[rose creek]

Can we talk about how steel series wanted $15 for a mousepad literally half that size that doesn’t light up

[normal barn]

@rose creek @brisk parcel i have rocket leauge downlaoded haven played tho lol

[rose creek]

I’m gonna run out of USB ports lol

[normal barn]

wait how much was ur mouse pad amd what brand and model

[rose creek]

Idk the brand and model for sure, it was $22 but they had a $5 coupon

[normal barn]

and bruh just get a multi usb form anker for liek 10$ and u gget 4 more ports

[rose creek]

On Amazon

[brisk parcel]

alright i'm off for the weekend boys

peace

[normal barn]

i got a steelseries qck for lke 10$ no rbg sad

[thick plank]

A 559 ($70 to 99) sold for 170 with less sound stage is a 58x, and a deva ($220) with slightly more bass is the 5xx ($220)

[rose creek]

But would that increase latency from my mouse and/or keyboard?

Or my flight simulator flight yoke and foot pedals that I bought at a garage sale 5 years ago for $20

And will now use for flight simulator

[thick plank]

Latter tbh I would be fine with if it didn't come with massdrop branding which lowers value and didn't claim to be an he500

[rose creek]

Kind of wish I had a throttle but I’m not buying one

[normal barn]

@brisk parcel is it worth it over hd58x and what amps/dac/sound card for it

[rose creek]

I have a PS4 flight stick thing with a throttle I might use that

[thick plank]

@normal barn if you want 58x sound get a 559

Same sound but with a wider sound stage and better imaging at half the price

Same lack of detail too

[normal barn]

ehh i want something like 150-200 ish dollars and rn im thinking 38x 58x or 5xxo r deva or 6xx lol

[thick plank]

or get a 4xx and get the mid forward sound with more bass extension and way kore detail and speed with way more sound stage and way more accurate imaging but slightly less smooth sounding tamber but not the sharp and metallic tamber of a deva

[normal barn]

i mean eith i get he 38x and save on dac and amps and mic

[thick plank]

58x again just isnt good for anyone cause it is a straight all around step down from cheaper options

[normal barn]

or a headpone mic and dac and amp and stuff liek that

i mean most headphones and the 37 and 38x will step over my razer blacksharkv2x

[west hornet]

arent those new?

[normal barn]

what the v2x?

[west hornet]

ye

[brisk parcel]

@normal barn I will let you know what I think of them

And Dino I love them so far

Gonna be listening to a lot of test tracks this weekend

@tacit wing sorry here so you can see it better

[normal barn]

@west hornet ye they are

[west hornet]

you are looking at headphones even tho you already bought new ones?

[thick plank]

Forgot to mention the 35x as another just bad massdrop rebrand

[normal barn]

lol

@thick plank im looking at 37 and 38x???

@west hornet lol

[west hornet]

ye, but i wouldnt look to much on brand all companies make something just bad once in a while. only place i really just hate is amazon, they’ve never done anything good for me

[normal barn]

wel my cousin got amazon prime for a year so free year of twitch prime for me lolA

@west hornet

[queen sigil]

cholax moment

[west hornet]

i got a trial for prime so i could get something within a time frame, but it kept getting delayed so i had to end up just buying from someone else. idk if it just my area but i tend to prefer b&h whenever i can cuz closer and more reliable shipping

[normal barn]

cholax moment
@queen sigil bro what

[queen sigil]

[last plinth]

Cholax moment

[normal barn]

Cholax moment
