amber oracle
#

you start by removing the "talking down to" part @sharp kindle

sharp kindle
#

you can get glorious pandas too

last plinth
#

Its 85$

sharp kindle
#

yes it is

#

very expensive

#

well not very

#

but expensive

#

sorry naed

#

@last plinth first decide if you want linears or tactiles

#

and because you're doing a budget build

#

for linears

#

gateron yellows all the way

#

amazing budget linears

#

tactiles i dont know much about because they arent my jam

last plinth
#

Its like

#

Medium end

sharp kindle
#

bro whats ur medium end

last plinth
#

idk

sharp kindle
#

if you're going with kiwis or pandas its gonna end up costing more than ur old board plan

#

which was gmmk pro

#

with like creams or stuff like that

last plinth
#

hmm

#

So cheap keycaps are a nono

timber ridge
#

i say jus get gat yellows

timber ridge
#

deskeys or tx film

#

lube

#

and call it a day

sharp kindle
#

cheap caps are still good

#

gateron yellows are amazing

#

lube them and film them

timber ridge
#

spend the extra money you saved on a nice set of keycaps

sharp kindle
#

and they are very good

last plinth
#

i see

timber ridge
#

trust me, gat yellows and decent caps

#

thats the best combo for budget or in general

last plinth
#

At that point ill just get alapcas

sharp kindle
#

tripleshot or doubleshot abs is gonna give you the clack you want

last plinth
#

Alpacas

sharp kindle
#

but its not as good as pbt

#

no

#

god no

#

cmon bro

timber ridge
#

sharp kindle
#

timber ridge
#

sharp kindle
#

timber ridge
#

queen sigil
#

timber ridge
#

sharp kindle
#

lance spitting facts

timber ridge
#

last plinth
#

Ok so

sharp kindle
#

no def

#

thats why i said tripleshot

last plinth
#

timber ridge
#

sharp kindle
#

timber ridge
#

jtk

epbt

sharp kindle
#

epbt

#

timber ridge
#

lotta good options

sharp kindle
#

lots of options

timber ridge
#

jus get the set that you like

#

thats what it comes down to

#

doesnt need have gmk name

#

and gmk isnt endgame, so you dont have to aim for it

#

at least not for all

sharp kindle
#

gmk gets a bit shiny

timber ridge
#

ima prob go with kat and epbt

#

but it all depends on what drops

sharp kindle
#

epbt is very nice

timber ridge
#

a super nice gmk kit could come out tomorrow

last plinth
#

Man

timber ridge
#

i would jtk night sakura but idk if itll look good with a light silver case

tight pulsar
#

timber ridge
#

amber oracle
#

last plinth
#

Hold on ill get back with you in a bit im in school

timber ridge
#

#

focus in class

cold kernel
#

Does anyone know of a good keyboard/mouse? Preferably wired. My mouse just doesn't work anymore and it's the 2nd USB wireless mouse that's failed on me after exactly 6 months.

timber ridge
#

for the keyboard, what form factor, switch type and price

#

and for the mouse, what hand size, grip type and budget

last plinth
#

Ok

#

Im back

#

The color scheme is

#

Something white

#

maybe green

#

@timber ridge

timber ridge
#

lime green ?

timber ridge
#

good mouse pick

#

but keeb not so good

#

a lotta of the keyboards made from the big companies are overpriced

cold kernel
#

why not?

timber ridge
#

and are not worth it

cold kernel
#

I'm going with a razer mouse because I keep buying 20$ wireless mice and they die after 6 months

#

it's annoying

timber ridge
#

the mouse is really good

#

just the keyboard

cold kernel
#

I mean my hand is pretty big, do you think it would be alright or no?

timber ridge
#

do you need a full keyboard ?

cold kernel
#

I mean yeah

timber ridge
#

mm, that mouse fits most hands

#

but if your hand is bigger you can go with an ec1

#

rival 310

#

g wolves skoll

#

theres a few more options but i forgot

#

do you claw grip ?

cold kernel
#

wdym

timber ridge
#

your mouse grip type

last plinth
#

Lime green would be fine

cold kernel
#

uh

#

idk

#

oh no

#

I just lay my hand flat on the mouse

last plinth
#

Palm

cold kernel
#

yes

sly warren
#

So, that's a Palm grip

timber ridge
#

i gtg

#

you guys can help him

sly warren
#

And then measure your hands.

#

And then do the Mouse Finder.

cold kernel
#

ok

rich kelp
#

YALL someone i need serious help choosing a keyboard

sharp kindle
#

@cold kernel the mouse is good but the Model O is cheaper and a bit lighter

#

also the Viper has some pretty bad clicks

sharp kindle
rich kelp
#

yes

sharp kindle
#

what form factor and switches

#

and budget

cold kernel
#

I mean I'm going with a decent keyboard and mouse and I don't want one that will just stop working after 6 months

rich kelp
#

my budget is 50 to 70 and i don't know what keys

sharp kindle
#

switches?

cold kernel
#

I mean razer is known for durability which is why I'm going with them

sharp kindle
#

tactiles, linears, clickys

west hornet
#

Red dragon probably

rich kelp
#

probably Tactile

sharp kindle
#

they have products that do break pretty fast and bad qc

#

then again so does glorious

#

its a hit or a miss with them

queen sigil
#

70$

#

thats like

#

ALMOST ENOUGH FOR A KEYCHRON

sharp kindle
#

if you do get a defective product, returning it is pretty hard

cold kernel
#

I'm going for a durable keyboard and mouse for about 80USD

west hornet
#

One of razer s worst points is build quality

sharp kindle
#

and customer service is bad

sharp kindle
cold kernel
#

I honestly don't know what to get

#

no 80$ both

queen sigil
#

please tell me youre talking about a mouse

#

and not their keyboards

sharp kindle
#

no mouse and keyboard

west hornet
#

Leo toxic smh

sharp kindle
#

yes m h

#

ok thats a bad joke

#

and it didnt come out the wait i thought it would

queen sigil
#

also for 80$ you could get a terrible keyboard and a decent mouse

sharp kindle
#

80 bucks for both...

#

hmmm

#

first thought is razer viper mini or g203

#

40 dollar mice that are ok

#

40 dollar keeb is beyond me

#

or you can go full ch inese

#

chinese 20 dollar mouse and 60 dollar keyboard

last plinth
#

Rival 3

sharp kindle
#

sharp kindle
#

@sharp kindle is this a good keyboard or no?

sly warren
#

Not good

sharp kindle
#

no

sly warren
#

Get a Keychron if you want a good cheap board with RGB lighting.

sharp kindle
#

^^

queen sigil
#

no

abstract shard
#

bruh asus makes keyboards

queen sigil
#

its not

sharp kindle
#

asus keyboards are pretty trash

sly warren
#

Asus doesn't make keyboards

#

They get a crappy OEM to make them.

sharp kindle
#

ouch

cold kernel
#

I don't really care about the keyboard manufacturer. I just want a keyboard thats good and durable and will last a few years, same with a mouse.

sly warren
#

Yeah, then you want a Keychron.

sharp kindle
#

wait his budget is 80 dollars for both

last plinth
#

Its membrane i think

#

Spill resistant = probaly membrane

sly warren
#

Then get a cheapass Coolermaster set

last plinth
#

Red dragon

sly warren
#

80 dollars for both is not enough for "durable and last a few years"

sharp kindle
#

^^

#

its chinese as frick

#

thats what it is

sly warren
#

80 dollars is barely enough for a durable and last a few years Keyboard.

sharp kindle
#

you're getting full chinese there aight

#

gk64 is nice

#

60 bucks

sly warren
#

Ok, fair.

cold kernel
#

this one?

sharp kindle
#

no

#

bad

sly warren
#

Bad

cold kernel
#

:/

sharp kindle
#

get a gk61 and rival 3/viper mine/g203

sly warren
#

Up your budget to around 150 and you'll get good stuff

sharp kindle
#

cntrl dont u have school to do?

#

listen to ur freaking teacher bro

sly warren
#

A Keychron and a good mouse

sharp kindle
#

yes

#

that one

cold kernel
#

Can I change the colours on the RGB?

sharp kindle
#

it has no arrow keys or numpad

#

yes

sly warren
#

Yes.

#

It has no software too

queen sigil
#

oh no rgb slob

sly warren
#

Which is a benefit

sharp kindle
#

if you want dedicated arrow keys get a gk64

#

wait nvm

#

thats 65 bucks

cold kernel
sharp kindle
#

i dont think its good though

#

just change it through macros

#

that are built in

sly warren
#

Huh, I thought the GK61 and 64 didn't have software.

sharp kindle
#

also in order to use your numpad or arrow keys you'll have to use function keys

sly warren
#

I thought they were just GMK

cold kernel
#

:/

#

Well I'll take it into consideration

sly warren
#

I'll be darned, they have software

#

Also, if you want a CHEAP board that is durable and you are willing to sacrifice RGB, get a Magicforce 68

queen sigil
#

gmk

#

sure

sly warren
#

Whoops, I think I meant QMK

#

Or you could get a Tecware Phantom

last plinth
#

What keycaps should i get

#

Going for a white or any light color theme

sharp kindle
#

what profile @last plinth

#

theres this

tight pulsar
last plinth
#

Pref cherry

#

Wait

#

How long do group buys take to deliver

#

Does it say

sharp kindle
#

im assuming you dont want to wait for a gb

#

it does

#

it says prepared to ship

last plinth
#

I see

sharp kindle
#

at yada yada yada time

#

delays could happen though

#

well if you dont wanna wait for a gb

#

kbdfans has some nice sets

last plinth
#

Is there any gmk sets on drop

tight pulsar
#

wob and a few others

sharp kindle
#

there are some

#

gmk white on black

#

gmk pixel

#

those are the ones off the top of my head

last plinth
#

Me want

tight pulsar
#

well u can buy it for 300 off mm whenever it ships

sharp kindle
#

i dont think he wants to do that

last plinth
#

Ok

#

Theres also gmk samurai

queen sigil
#

i mean he probs has the budget

sharp kindle
#

red samurai is still there

#

if you want

last plinth
#

But i dont see the point of getting accented keycaps

queen sigil
#

but you do see the point of buying a different type of switch just so you can film them

#

And again, how about you do your own 10 minutes of research

#

to find something the most simple things like keycaps

last plinth
#

idk where to look

#

Why do u think im asking u guys

queen sigil
#

Why do you think I tell you to research

#

so you can find things for yourselves

#

you've askes us help

#

un literally

#

every

#

part

#

of your keyboard

last plinth
#

no

queen sigil
#

maybe if you could read you would know where to look for keycaps

#

Stop asking people here for options because you're lazy

last plinth
#

Imma get c3 tangies

#

Sound nice

#

Feels smooth according to multiple reviewers

#

and same price as my alpacas

#

If not cheaper

queen sigil
#

man you sure did your research

last plinth
#

Also

#

For groupbuys do u wanna go for abs or pbt

queen sigil
#

man idk did you do your research

#

on what the difference in

last plinth
#

Im asking you guys

#

Cuz i know pbt is more durable

#

But u guys said abs is good depending on quality

queen sigil
#

Man if only there was somewhere else on the internet that you could find awnswers besides wasting people's time here blanksarcasm

last plinth
#

MaN

queen sigil
#

It's not like other people have asked that question on some other websites and the discussion on it is saved

hexed solstice
#

Hi I currently have a hk venus and was thinking of switching my switches. Are the mx silvers any good?

tight pulsar
#

no

hexed solstice
#

Why so?

last plinth
#

cherrys are bad

#

Most of them

#

budget?

hexed solstice
#

No set number

tight pulsar
#

cherries are fine speed switches have no practical use unless you are only using this keyboard for the top echelon of a competitive game because how much theyre worse for normal typing

last plinth
#

Off the top of my head

#

Glorious pandas

tight pulsar
#

:/ thats like exactly the opposite of a speed switch

hexed solstice
#

was thinking of getting gaterons or kailhs

tight pulsar
hexed solstice
#

yep

#

i like 60% kbds

#

im just switching around that and my razer one

tight pulsar
#

afaik that isnt a hotswap pcb, so you would need to open it theyboard up and desolder all the switches and resolder them to swap them

hexed solstice
#

hmmm

#

might just get a new kbd then

tight pulsar
#

yeah you could always buy a hotswap 60% and find switches you like and then sell the venus if you wanted

hexed solstice
#

nah

#

ill just add it to my collection

#

might get a kit on kbdfans if there any available atm

#

is the d65 kit any good? I might get one in hot swap brass since I liked the way it felt when I tried my friend's keyboard

queen sigil
#

instead of doing that but a desoldering gun and a soldering gun ez pz

#

brass plate

#

hmmmm

#

why do people like brass plates so much

tight pulsar
#

cause it has a unique sound signature

hexed solstice
#

i have the money

#

why not

rich kelp
#

Hey yall what type of Keyboard should i get if my budget is 60 to 70 bucks and i don't want a loud one it should also give a nice hand feel

tight pulsar
#

thats why bells are made with copper (brass is copper+zinc) people like the sound

hexed solstice
#

^^

#

it sounds satisfying with brown switches

queen sigil
#

man but brass usually has ping and is too stiff for my liking

west hornet
#

Didnโ€™t you ask about the keyboard several times in several different channels cursed1

queen sigil
#

lol

hexed solstice
#

i like my keyboards with a bit of weight so that it doesnt drag along my mousepad

tight pulsar
#

@queen sigil yes you should know keyboards are about p r e f e r e n c e

queen sigil
#

all bout preference till someone recommends razer

hexed solstice
#

what keycaps fit with the gaterons or kailh pros?

tight pulsar
#

any mx style keycap

sharp kindle
#

any cherry mx compatible ones

hexed solstice
#

thx

queen sigil
#

kalih pro switches

tight pulsar
#

pro burgundies are nice switches not sure about the others but they should be solid

hexed solstice
#

tried and tested my guy

#

i like them

timber ridge
#

how it do

#

did you guys manage to help the guy i left hanging

hexed solstice
#

its silent

timber ridge
#

gg

hexed solstice
#

theyre a bit stiff

#

but i might try other switches instead of the kailh pro

strange ridge
#

anyone one have a good bluetooth adapter recommendation either a card that goes on the board or a usb type one

queen sigil
#

be more specific

#

what "board"

#

and explain what you mean by an adapter

last plinth
#

@timber ridge keycap?

strange ridge
#

x570 tomahawk

#

i just need something to be able to use bluetooth

#

not sure if it already has it off this or what the m2_wifi slot is

timber ridge
#

huh ? @last plinth

last plinth
#

Werent u gonna recommend

timber ridge
#

what color scheme again

last plinth
#

Any light color

timber ridge
#

groupbuy or no

last plinth
#

For example light blue

timber ridge
#

and what profile

last plinth
#

groupbuy only if its early

#

Pref cherry

timber ridge
#

kat comet might still be up

#

gmk honor is white ish

#

and p cheap

last plinth
#

How about no groupbuy

timber ridge
#

ik kbd has a few kits, dont remember them off the top of my head

#

krepublic or whatever has a nice muted kit

last plinth
#

Ill look

rose creek
#

What kind of linear switches do you guys recommend?

#

I was originally thinking speed silvers but they seem really expensive

last plinth
#

Tell budget

rose creek
#

I mean probably like $80 max

#

Preferably less

#

I was thinking maybe cherry or gateron blacks

tight pulsar
#

ks3 gateron yellow, any jwk recolor (h1, alpaca, mauve), giant v3

rose creek
#

Iโ€™m also buying a Logitech g502 hero but thatโ€™s unrelated

last plinth
#

Where to buy keycaps in NA

tight pulsar
#

:l

last plinth
#

I looked everywhere

#

I checked kbdfans and kbrepublic

#

i saw one set

#

Its called pbt islander

#

But it ended

tight pulsar
#

your definition of everywhere is a puddle compared to the ocean of sites for keycaps

last plinth
#

Ok so i found a keycap set on flashquark

#

but theres a cheaper one on amazon that appears to be the same

#

Nvm

#
KPrepublic

Retro 9009 colorway PBT Keycaps ย  Based on GMK 9009 colorway,compatible with Cherry MX switches and related clones, these keycaps are made of super-durable PBT plastic. Theyโ€™re designed in Cherry profile for kinds ofย keyboards(such as XD64\GH60\RS96\Tada68\RS96\Minila.......), and theyโ€™re finished with dye-sublimated

#

Is this approved by the council

#

Do i get full set or just base

jovial scaffold
#

So my friend says that when he touches the sides of his keyboard (razer blackwidow) its shocking him

#

He also claims it only happens on the pc that i built him

#

Any ideas?

timber ridge
#

depending on the price you might aswell go full size

#

and is he on carpet ?

jovial scaffold
#

no

last plinth
#

Ok imma go full

timber ridge
#

i dunno what caps i want with my silver build

normal barn
#

Uhh go get the hyperx alloy core

#

Thkgny

#

With aqua blue switchs

#

Then seller everything else

west hornet
#

Wait waa

#

The blackwidow has aplastic body, how can it shock you lol

jovial scaffold
#

does the blackwidow elite hate metal casing?

#

Because that's actually what he has

#

and i don't think its static shock

tight pulsar
#

it has a metal top plate

#

but i have no clue why it would shock him

jovial scaffold
#

Google seems to be saying its the outlet being grounded incorrectly, however this wasn't happening before. He's had it set up like this for 2 weeks

queen sigil
last plinth
#

Vote em off the island

rose creek
#

I have big hands, should I get black or silver switches?

queen sigil
#

hand size doesnt matter when choosing switches

west hornet
#

Reminds me when I plug in laptop at my grannyโ€™s house, metal feels like it vibrating

sharp pine
#

So, any recommendations on a good gaming mouse? I've been through 3 so far, the switches are all rubbish, G903 has a double click issue, the corsair wireless one clicked when you release the mouse button, now my MSI gaming mouse needs to be clicked hard on the right click for it to work.

queen sigil
#

Hand size

#

And budget

#

and grip type

sharp pine
#

claw grip, endless money as I've spent $220 on g903, medium - large hand

rose creek
#

I thought that having bigger hands could lead to accidental key strokes with silvers

sharp pine
#

if it works for years, i'll happily dump cash, but i'm going to return this msi one, generally MSI is my fav, logitech was

#

I do favour wireless too

#

but now out of desperation of mouses being garbage I'm almost going to get another rat 9 and order a few batteries

rose creek
#

Iโ€™m thinking of getting a ducky one 2 mini v2 RGB LED 60% double shot pbt

#

I just need to decide on switches

#

I definitely want linears

sharp pine
#

I was going to get a dell or microsoft mouse

last plinth
#

No ducky

rose creek
#

And Iโ€™m thinking probably either blacks or silvers

sharp pine
#

because i'm at my wits end with this

last plinth
#

wuuut๐Ÿคš

rose creek
#

Whatโ€™s wrong with ducky

#

I thought they were good

last plinth
#

Overpriced

rose creek
#

Fair point

last plinth
#

Its just bad overall

rose creek
#

What would you recommend

last plinth
#

Leopold

rose creek
#

Iโ€™ve got like $100 but would prefer to spend less if possible

last plinth
#

Unless u want rgb

rose creek
#

I do want rgb if possible

#

It would go better with my other stuff

#

Though I guess it would be ok if it isnโ€™t since Iโ€™m buying a logitech g502 hero and that doesnโ€™t have much rgb

#

But my mousepad is rgb

queen sigil
#

cntrl shush

#

you dont even know what's wrong with ducky

#

@rose creek Get a keychron

#

for 100$ you get an alu hot swap RGB keyboard

#

but its also gonna have a 20$ tax

#

but there is discount codes it get it down to like 105$

sharp pine
#

does the g502 hero suffer from garbage china switches?

last plinth
#

If u wanna spend less gk61 with gateron yellows are decent

sharp pine
#

I couldn't return my g903 because it kissed the floor after it almost deleted hours would of work because of the faults with it

#

also, I can't use the G software on my PC since I have the loop-loading bug

queen sigil
#

@timber ridge

#

help this man

sharp pine
#

what's this aula brand?

rose creek
#

Are keychrons all wireless

#

Follow up, does wireless actually cause a noticeable delay?

sharp pine
#

apparently g502 has comments "doesn't suffer from double click issues so far" ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

oh

#

it does

#

the 'release click' issue

rose creek
#

What are orange switches

#

Iโ€™ve never seen them

queen sigil
#

don't get their optical switches

rose creek
#

Thatโ€™s what I thought

queen sigil
#

and if you checked out the product you could see that it is wireless NAD wired

rose creek
#

Whatโ€™s the difference between white and black switches

#

They seem to be the same thing basically but I feel like thereโ€™s a difference

#

Should I get the k3

#

I wish it had the aluminum back plate but I can live without it

#

Wait

#

The k3 has low profile switches

#

Hmm

#

Idk about that

#

They short

@last plinth you asked earlier, pbt or abs

#

gmk is abs

#

which is why it starts to shine

#

thats an example of good abs

timber ridge
#

arent some gmk pbt

sharp kindle
#

other good ones are doubleshot or tripleshot

#

abs

timber ridge
#

i dont think he should spend more on the keycaps than the kit itself

#

i think he should go with gat yellows, a nice pbt set, and nk65 v2

sharp kindle
#

Yea

sharp pine

what happened?

hardy lantern

he was one of the few who really knew about iems

timber ridge
#

if anything, iems were the one thing he didnt know much about

hardy lantern

really?

#

he talked a lot about moondrops

@timber ridge omg for real dino got banned?

calm cobalt
#

what are the specs to look at when choosing a condensor mic to buy for recording a DAW ?

#

please tag me if you can help me out

#

wanna buy a mic during black friday sales

#

I wanna buy a USB mic if that's someting thats make a difference

sly warren
#

I wouldn't buy a USB Mic if it was 1 dollar.

#

If you want to record, get an XLR Interface and an XLR Mic

west hornet
#

some things to look out for is the mics plosive regection, 48khz id say try to get minimum, there are mics that have 96khz but i wouldn't say that is really needed most of the time, the polar pattern, most common is cardioid but some people might need omnidirection depending on what you are recording. you can either get a xlr mic and connect to pc via interface, ASIO is important for recording but simple stuff might just be fine with the windows or macos drivers. some usb mics have audio jacks for direct monitoring and pc playback as well as xlr interfaces.

sly warren
#

You planning on Streaming or is this for voice recording?

hardy lantern
#

condenser mics if you plan on recording

west hornet
#

the freq response is important too, but how it performs can vary on an individuals voice

sly warren
#

But, really we need to know if this is for Vocal recordings or Streaming, or just general gaming.

#

@calm cobalt

hardy lantern
#

a digital audio workstation

#

so producing and stuff like that

sly warren
#

Ok... so you definitely don't want USB for that.

hardy lantern
#

yeah get xlr

sly warren
#

If you need more help than that, there's a Discord for /r/Microphones and they can help you further there @calm cobalt

west hornet
#

as i said ASIO interface is important for recordings and is a essential tool for producers, whether you absollutely need one or not depends but if you are planning to do it seriously it really is a must

calm cobalt
#

thanks for answering

#

i just didn't want to spend extra on a audio interface

#

could y'all recommend a budget audio interface ?

#

that can handle headphones and an xlr mic i suppose.

west hornet
#

ye i felt the same way in the past, i ended up doing a long term upgrade over the spam of 8 months or so lol, ive owned a uphoria um2 and a motu m2, and i know someone with a umc202. the motu i love because it has features like loopback audio channels to record desktop audio, but it's a bit pricey at 160 i think? the um2 is the cheapest at ~40usd iirc. my only complaints is it's plastic and you have to turn the windows volumes and such, the preamps are a little noisey

#

and the um2 i have had a lot of interference on the headphone out, not sure if others had same issue

#

also in the middle the focusrite scarlett solo is nice ~100usd

#

you can also look out for sales around black friday

calm cobalt
#

i see a lot of producers use the scarlett focusrite 2i2

west hornet
#

hmm the elgato wave 1 on the usb side of things is pretty nice. i think it have direct monitoring too, as i said depends what exactly you need ๐Ÿ™‚

calm cobalt
#

but i believe that's out of price for now

#

at least for an audio interface

west hornet
#

oh yes the 2i2 very popular, but i'd say the motu m2 edges it out a bit, the m2 is a bit new

calm cobalt
#

i see

#

do you think we can expect considerable sales in this domain on black friday >

#

?

#

mic + audio interface

west hornet
#

it's possible, i can't remember how sales were in the past. but if you take a look at some places like b&h or sweetwater they have sales sometimes and they have some bundles

calm cobalt
#

im not in america, but maybe i can order from sites likes newegg or amazon

west hornet
#

ahh europe?

calm cobalt
#

naaah

#

east asia ๐Ÿ˜„

west hornet
#

Ooo fancy

calm cobalt
#

which makes things harder tho lol

#

the prices are higher here

west hornet
#

I know thomann is a popular online store in europe and they have some nice prices but im not sure how much tax there is going to asia

calm cobalt
#

shipping is also an issue

#

i believe there is newegg south korea but shipping fees don't decrease hah

west hornet
calm cobalt
#

shipping is 50 EUR wow

west hornet
#

or perhaps if there is a local store

calm cobalt
#

yea, i can find local websites or go to stores

#

to do that i would need to find the best mic + audio interface combo possible for my budget

west hornet
#

what is your budget exactly

sly warren
#

Kizo, I literally gave you a link.

#

Done.

#

Oh, East Asia...

#

That's... fun...

west hornet
#

ye lol

calm cobalt
#

bro the disrespect is real

sly warren
#

I don't deal with that part of the world often.

west hornet
#

there might actually be another option here

calm cobalt
#

i would say my budget is around 200 usd

#

max...imum..

sly warren
#

200 USD should easily get you a UMC22

west hornet
#

the samson q2u, atr2005usb, and shure m7v are all pretty good mics and they are both xlr and usb mics, so you could go xlr for future upgradability

sly warren
#

And an XLR mic

calm cobalt
#

or else i might have to wait for xmas and boxing day

sly warren
#

I thought Boxing Day was an aussie thing?

normal barn
#

guys

#

how did dino get banned

west hornet
#

tho i think all those are dynamic iirc, not a big deal but dynamic is nice if you dont have sound treatment

sly warren
#

I honestly think Dynamic mics are a little better overall

calm cobalt
#

i believe for now imma get a mic on black friday

normal barn
#

holy god

calm cobalt
#

btw I dont think he understands what you guys are saying

west hornet
#

a lot of people are bias to dynamics, and i don't disagree. just depends on your situation, dynamic is better for most people with noise and stuff tbh

normal barn
#

he got banned for saying a bad word?

calm cobalt
#

and as you said ghosty xlr and usb might be the way to go

normal barn
#

how

calm cobalt
#

so that i can upgrade if i really need the improvement

sly warren
#

Yeah, a Samson Q2U might be a good starter option

normal barn
#

@calm cobalt i mean usb are a good mic

sly warren
#

No?

normal barn
#

or finfine t669

sly warren
#

USB Mics are horrible.

calm cobalt
#

@normal barn get ready to dissapear like dinos did

sly warren
#

Ok, not like, utter horrible.

normal barn
#

i mean usb comes with conpress and stuff

sly warren
#

Yeah, and that's bad.

normal barn
#

for xlr u need to get extra equitment

#

for it

west hornet
#

ye those mics i listed work with either usb or xlr, but some interestingly like the m7v some hear to be better with usb, idk the details on that lol

normal barn
#

not a big fan of extra equiment

sly warren
#

Yeah, and that extra equipment helps to provide a better experience.

normal barn
#

smbv7 thingy?

sly warren
#

Better than a USB mic can give.

west hornet
#

no the shure m7v is a new mic

sly warren
#

And it's just a little box that lives on your desk.

#

Holy mother of God, it's 250 USD

calm cobalt
#

yeah, i think i'll be able to afford that equipment in january maybe

normal barn
#

oh lol

west hornet
#

the m7v is like the usb/xlr version of the sm7b i guess you can call it lol

normal barn
#

yep

calm cobalt
#

when ill buy other stuff to improve quality

normal barn
#

saw a alpha gaming review of it

#

its good thtas their verdict

#

its great for podcats and streaming

west hornet
#

it's a nice mic, definitely a higher end usb and bit expensive lol

#

i like podcastage for mic reviews

calm cobalt
#

bro look up I think I see a meteor

sly warren
#

Yeah, I wish I had the money for that MV7

calm cobalt
#

if it fits within 200 usd all good

west hornet
#

i just have music from osu playing in the back rn haha

sly warren
#

It's 259.00 USD

normal barn
sly warren
normal barn
#

its bound ot have a discount

calm cobalt
#

yep ill do that

sly warren
#

I have literally no idea when that mic will exist in SEA though.

calm cobalt
#

but since i live in east asia

#

i might just go to a local store

normal barn
#

oh lol

sly warren
#

You will probably have to get lucky.

normal barn
#

wait

calm cobalt
#

and black firday doesnt really exist here

normal barn
#

where in east asia

sly warren
#

Because it's really new.

normal barn
#

china?

calm cobalt
#

normal barn
#

ohhhh

west hornet
#

thats ok i dont see many sales on black friday here either haha

normal barn
#

sly warren
#

Oh, South Korea is like, tech central.

normal barn
#

#

im in the us

west hornet
#

oh nice i have a friend thats korean

normal barn
#

so black friday cheers

#

@sly warren my teacher moved to south korea

#

to teacher there

#

my 5th grade teacher

#

really chill dude

#

nice ot talk to

calm cobalt
#

there are good places for tech stuff here

normal barn
#

introduce me to many books

calm cobalt
#

Including the encyclopedia of Dinos

normal barn
#

...

#

wat tat

#

and who r u

calm cobalt
#

??

#

??

#

man who is he

west hornet
#

he is person

calm cobalt
#

so my best bet would be the samson Q2U ?

#

until i upgrade my hardware ?

#

and this one is dynamic, aren't condensor mics better for vocal recordings ?

#

not sure bout that btw

sly warren
#

Condensor is not the antithesis of Dynamic.

calm cobalt
#

i see

#

so that isn't what makes a difference in vocal recording ?

sly warren
#

Are you in a recording studio built for recording?

#

Or is this just home stuff?

calm cobalt
#

home stuff

sly warren
#

Get a Dynamic mic then.

calm cobalt
#

i've got a PC, and a midi man

#

alright

sly warren
#

They are designed for spaces where you don't have great sound isolation

calm cobalt
#

i see what you mean

sly warren
#

Dynamic mics have a pickup pattern that will remove any noise from behind where the mic is pointed.

calm cobalt
#

which is definitely a + in my case

west hornet
#

q2u

sly warren
#

You CAN get Unidirectional Condensor mics, but it is vastly more common to find Omnidirectional Condensors

calm cobalt
#

yeah... but since there are less common im not sure ill find there here where i live

#

thanks for the link ghosty

#

alright then, i'll cop the q2u without anything else until i eventually buy an audio interface when i can afford it / or need the upgrade.

#

thanks for answering y'all

i removed the pads so they dont collapse

#

the spring steel is SUPER stubborn

sly warren
#

Jeez you must have a mega chonker noggin to not fit 58x's

tacit wing
#

oh it does fit me perfectly, its just the clamp force is the issue

west hornet
#

maybe i just have smol head, i feel it not strong enough to stay on my head haha

tacit wing
#

1.4 lbs is waaaaay above standard

sly warren
#

I just got some M50X's and I need replacement pads

tacit wing
#

1.4 lbs feels like a vice grip between ur skull

sly warren
#

The drivers hit the top of my ear and hurt after extended sessions.

timber ridge
#

heard that some ppl prefer m40s over m50s

tacit wing
#

didnt we had a discussion on Brainwavz pads the other day

#

its pretty much the go-to for ATH aftermarket pads

#

bc the stock ones are horrible, it doesnt provide enough seal for a pleather pad

sly warren
#

Yeah, we did.

#

I get paid next Thursday and I'll order some.

Reeeeee

Amazon doesn't have White...

timber ridge

gotta love peripheral chat for promoting spending

Oh, they do have the angled white pads.

#

They just aren't under the rest of the colors...

west hornet
#

spend paimon_warning

tacit wing
#

i believe Brainwavz direct will give u more color options

sly warren
#

Yeah, but how long does Shipping take?

tacit wing
#

mine took like a couple days

sly warren
#

Gotcha.

tacit wing
#

its pretty fast but that also depends on your location

sly warren
#

Major city in Texas.

#

So don't get the Prostock pads?

tacit wing
#

NO those are booty lol

#

i have them

sly warren
#

Got it. Avoiding the Prostock ones.

tacit wing
#

let me give u a size comparison

#

the driver will be closer to your ear

#

and also theyre more of on-ears than over

sly warren
#

Oh, yeah I don't want that. Are the white ones Angled?

tacit wing
#

not angled

sly warren
#

Those blue ones look a lot like stock thickness.

tacit wing
#

angled ones will just contour with your temple better but the same sound sig

tacit wing
#

the stock ones are sooo weird they leak like theyre velours

#

and they will flake in a matter of months

sly warren
#

Hmm, 20 bucks for the pads plus shipping. That's actually cheaper than Amazon.

#

Dang, bank account says no right now...

#

Next week...

tacit wing
#

yessir

sly warren
#

My Modmic is excellent though.

#

Especially after using some guides from Antlion Audio on how to remove background noise and EMI Hum.

#

For 50 bucks, the Modmic Uni is an excellent mic solution.

brisk parcel
#

@tacit wing you know how you can really decrease that clamp right?

#

just bend the metal a bit straighter towards the earcup

tacit wing
#

yes i tried that method

brisk parcel
#

that's what I did, fits much more comfortably now

tacit wing
#

extending it as far as it could and bending the spring steel didnt seem to be effective for me

#

LMAOOOO

mfs velour now

The pads on my used ones are nowhere near that bad.

theyre decent out of the box but once it sheds its skin the bass response is gone
