[queen sigil]

[tight pulsar]

no theyre a cnc factory but they sell keyboards too

they also have ultrasonic and guitar engraving machines

[queen sigil]

oh so they like machine shop

cool

[last plinth]

Can i not film switches?

is that illegal

[tight pulsar]

if u have like 8k u can buy a guitar engraving machine leyo

very worth

[last plinth]

Also filming gives better sound no?

[queen sigil]

link it

I did middle school band it's time for me to open a music shop

[tacit wing]

Bruh moment

[abstract shard]

That preview looks like one of those pictures that’s AI generated and looks like it’s something, but is actually nothing

[golden bear]

Anyone have any recommendations for transparent or translucent keycaps like the hyperX pudding keycaps for the apex pro?

[normal barn]

@tacit wing omg u backkkk

[sharp kindle]

@golden bear you fricked up twice here

buying the apex pro

and wanting pudding keycaps

[golden bear]

Thanks I dont really need a lecture about what I already purchased, Im asking about if there are any clear keycaps

[sharp kindle]

POM Jelly

if you want pudding keycaps they should work with the apex pro

[golden bear]

thanks

[normal barn]

Lmao

[timber ridge]

fair enough

only other person besides sassy who listended

[normal barn]

Aight imma go play some games and stuff

[queen sigil]

so what's the deal with airplane food

[tacit wing]

altitude dulls your tastebuds

so it taste like booty

[queen sigil]

but like

whats the deal

[west hornet]

i only had terrible experience with some airplane food

[mental maple]

what kind of pcb would i need if i wanted tyo makle a costom holy panda swuitch build

[queen sigil]

oh god

please tell me that is a joke question

@mental maple was that a joke question or are you serious

[mental maple]

no iam not very expenienced in costom keyboard building and i was wondering what i would need

[queen sigil]

then why are you getting holy pandas

which are like 1$+ per switch

[mental maple]

i know \

i just need recomendation on pcbs prefferiba;y hot swapable and rgb

[queen sigil]

just saying if you're getting holy pandas you should also be gitting lube

[mental maple]

yea i was plannign on that

most likely keytox graze 0

garde

[queen sigil]

anyways any PCB as long as it has a plate

Krytox grade 0?

What crytox

[mental maple]

could you send a like to good options

for the pcb

[queen sigil]

since it's a 3 pin switch

[mental maple]

link*

[queen sigil]

I just told you what you need in a PCB

why do I need to find you one

I don't know what type of keeb you want

[mental maple]

ok ok my bad

[queen sigil]

and do a tiny bit of research

becuase Krytox grade 0 isnt a type of lube

and RGB doesn't really work with holy pandas

unless you're getting 2/3 pin LEDs

[mental maple]

would thid work

i wont let me send a link

[tight pulsar]

also justice do you want to build a keyboard because you saw the taeha types video

[timber ridge]

cntrl moment

[queen sigil]

WE LOVE TAEHA TYPES POGERS

[queen sigil]

actually

[timber ridge]

switches are not the only factor to sound

[queen sigil]

you tellin me

[tight pulsar]

literally everything contributes to sound

[queen sigil]

that my gk61

with lubed NK creams

and cheap thin ABS keycaps

WONT SOUND LIKE TFUE KEYBOARD

[tacit wing]

man yall are booty welcoming new people to ur hobby

[timber ridge]

yall ?

[queen sigil]

well its the reality

[timber ridge]

lol

[queen sigil]

because if you dont know anything about keyboards

it's not like you can just pick up the hobby

its liek something you need to learn about

[west hornet]

yes need hobbies

anyone want to learn real camera? xD

[tacit wing]

link them to helpful resources that will actually help them because if youre just roasting tf outta them i assume you cant even be bothered to help and its very counter-productive

elitism in enthusiasts is cringe. it helps no one

GOD i sound like Naed

[timber ridge]

dino

the amount of ppl who came in this chat

and got bullied

[little crater]

Naed wouldnt use the word "cringe"

[timber ridge]

is insane

[last plinth]

Yep

[queen sigil]

I would expect most people who are about to drop 100+ dollars in switches alone to know at least something about keyboards

[timber ridge]

you gotta expect ppl who come for help here would not know

[last plinth]

true

[queen sigil]

its like

someone wanted to buy this

but what they have is this

if u know stuff about bikes you would understand

[last plinth]

bad analogy

[sly gulch]

it is a good analogy

[queen sigil]

cntrl do u know stuff about bikes

[last plinth]

no

[queen sigil]

exactly

[west hornet]

well especially i see with keyboard, ye some people will spend that 100usd on switches, but many don't have the budget for it. same can go for audio but a lot of audio is deception and there can very well be options at much cheaper prices that have better sound, tho there is deception in basically every market. as i understand there aren't too many budget options especially if someone is looking ~50usd for keyboards, but at the end of the day it's whether you are satisfied with what you have or not

if someone is fine with their razer kraken, than im fine with it, when they look for new i can give some pointers but that's just about it

[timber ridge]

there is some p good budget options for keebs

[tacit wing]

i am not satisfied with what i have. the world of audio is a black hole and im floating in an endless abyss

[west hornet]

there are many black holes, and i may be in a few too many xD

[tacit wing]

[west hornet]

im in the decision of either getting a fully weighted midi keyboard, a pair of speakers, a telephoto or prime lens, new cpu, vr headset, and i only have money for 1

[tacit wing]

i have a midi keyboard that is just collecting dust

from m-audio

[tight pulsar]

@tacit wing the reason why many people in custom keyboard scene don't walk them through everything is because 1. this entire hobby is about preference and 2. because it literally doesnt help and 3. the hobby is blowing up really fast. The person just asked for a pcb for his holy pandas, which are very expensive switches and asks for a pcb, without stating a price, what size, or what keyboard its for. That means i cant link him a single pcb without knowing if it will fit. Linking him 400 different hotswap rgb pcbs from aliexpress will do nothing but overwhelm him, it wont help at all. What he might want to ask is "what rgb hotswap 65% pcb will work with holy pandas and a tofu65" where we can actually help him. And also this hobby went from being a smallish community to like 800k people in the subreddit, and many of them dont look at resources to help them answer their question (theres a ton on the reddit wiki, websites like keyboard university, geekhack) and just see 1 or 2 videos and say i want my keyboard to look and sound like this without even understanding what theyre getting into

[west hornet]

sad

[tight pulsar]

and yes leyos analogy is pretty good with somebody saying i want these $6000 aero rims and i only know about walmart bikes

[tacit wing]

my point was that you cant expect every single person to walk on here having already some prerequisite knowledge of whatever subject

sometimes they want first hand knowledge from a community

like talking in chat

[queen sigil]

oh shoot nachos knows stuff about bikes

[tight pulsar]

ya but you should at least try to learn something alone or google something before asking a question here cause it gets really annoying to people like me when i see a bunch of questions like that personally

[queen sigil]

ghosty how good are you at muse dash

[tight pulsar]

and yeah leyo didnt really guide him in a good way but they should at least try to figure it out on their own

[west hornet]

a lot of the custom build markets have been going up lately, with pcs, keyboards, etc. but for 75-80% of people they will be getting prebuilt. that can change ofc i am finally seeing pc building spreading to people i see on the streets, but that takes time and things can change. word spreads, people get curious

im not very good lol, started playing about 1 month ago

i still have it open in back but i am watching anime haha

[queen sigil]

The thing is I kind of consider any switch that starts to pass the 1$/switch area to start to become like enthusiast only stuff

So when someone who doesn't know what a 3pin/5pin PCB/Switch is and they seem to be planning to get something really expensive

[west hornet]

i wouldn't disagree there, idk what exactly was going on here but i just gave a general perspective

[tight pulsar]

also i blame taeha types tfue and fjell holy panda video for these people :v

[queen sigil]

YES

taeha types keyboards are expensive

and I don't think people really realize that

[west hornet]

is it one person making all of them?

[queen sigil]

He never really builds budget keyboards

or like anything below the price of 500$

cough

[tight pulsar]

@queen sigil the majority of the boards he builds are just sent from somebody for him to build only like a dozen have been commissions and those are like "building a keyboard for x" videos

[queen sigil]

yeah

[west hornet]

if its a person makes sense, they spend their own time and a lot of it building these things, and if they get more demand they have to raise their prices to not be overwhelmed, ive seen some people sell puzzle boxes for crazy high prices for that reason even

[queen sigil]

But still the majority of people who are interested in custom keyboards and come from seeing other videos

usually see builds like tfue 3500$ keyboard or the holy panda video

[timber ridge]

riding the hype train

[tacit wing]

Dizzy's commision?

[queen sigil]

and people generally don't know about anything besides that the switch makes noise

so that's all that matters

[west hornet]

it's good and bad. bad because of what you speak of, good because it spreads awareness of custom keyboards and that could lead to it becoming easier to do and more easily accessable

[timber ridge]

more bad than good tbh

theres some youtubers telling ppl keeb community is an easy place to make money

then you get ppl who buy rare drops jus to resell

[queen sigil]

Like i'd expect someone who's downing lots of money for a custom keyboard to know stuff about keyboards

[timber ridge]

etc

[tacit wing]

lol Kristoferyee

[tight pulsar]

oh boy not that video

[timber ridge]

grind the gears

[queen sigil]

I made 50$ off the bauer 2 raffle

[tight pulsar]

that video is my least favorite video about the keyboard scene

[timber ridge]

he jus hopped into it too

[queen sigil]

Someone told me they would pay for the link

[west hornet]

it can be a place to make money, keeping in mind it is your time you are spending, but that will change in time

[queen sigil]

because I wasnt gonna buy the bauer

[tight pulsar]

literally every part of it is bad from the flipping keycults to saying theres no advice when like 99% of people will give people advice or link them sites

[queen sigil]

lol do people buy keycults

like

third party

[queen sigil]

I mena

in that red line

is basically any type of scalper/flipper

GPU, Keyboards, I'd assume shoes

[tight pulsar]

yes but were talking about keyboards

[queen sigil]

yes

hey nachos what's ur opinion on the cervelo p5x

the triathalon bike

[tight pulsar]

i dont deal with road bikes idk anything about them

[tacit wing]

mtb gang

[queen sigil]

fair enough

[tight pulsar]

yes

[queen sigil]

do u do XC

or enduro

or just like

what type of bike do u have

[tight pulsar]

i dont really do anything i just ride my trails but i go up to dh parks a few times and pumptracks

[queen sigil]

Haha I do like slopestyle dirtjumps on my XC hardtail

@tight pulsar

this kinda looks cool

disk MTB wheel

[west hornet]

when are magnetic wheels

zero friction

[queen sigil]

at that point might as well not ride a bike

[last plinth]

By a dollar

[sharp kindle]

just get gat yellows

honestly dude why?

[last plinth]

Im getting lube later

[sharp kindle]

when are tangies even restocking?

[last plinth]

They do a drop like

[sharp kindle]

i dont care if ur getting lube later

ur wasting your money

as a 13 year old, why are you doing this

[last plinth]

i dont know tbh

[queen sigil]

he wants fancy things just because he can

[last plinth]

4Heed JUST

Wait i dont even think i can get c3 tangerines

:(

[sharp kindle]

🤦

bro

[queen sigil]

its not even your money

[sharp kindle]

didnt lance just tell you to get gateron yellows yesterday?

and you said yes?

and now you want tangies

[queen sigil]

Do you even know what makes tangerines smooth

[sharp kindle]

keybored if he likes wasting money so much we should get him a corsair keyboard

the new k100

with optical switches

[queen sigil]

I feel like

we've been helping him for way too long

[sharp kindle]

ofc

this man has been here forever

first his pc

then his audio setup

then his mouse

now his keyboard

[last plinth]

I never asked for help with pc here

Also the mouse was ez

[queen sigil]

Again

its not our job to be helping you

but for the sake of literally everybody here

[last plinth]

I just dont want gat yellows

[queen sigil]

stop coming back

[last plinth]

idk

[queen sigil]

until you do 1 min of research

[last plinth]

I did to research

I spend like at least 2 hours everyday looking for stuff

[queen sigil]

LOL LOOKING FOR STUFF

[last plinth]

And reviews

[queen sigil]

try actually looking at what difference each switch makes

[last plinth]

idk what im looking for tho

Like i dont know what it means

[queen sigil]

instead of WeLl TeaHEA TyPes UseD ThiS kEy boARd So iT muSt Be GoOD!!!!!!

[last plinth]

When did i say that

[sharp kindle]

why do you not want gateron yellows?

[last plinth]

I dont know

[sharp kindle]

theyre actually amazing

[queen sigil]

you're basing your opinions on sound tests you find on youtube

[last plinth]

True

[queen sigil]

and probs random threads on reddit

[last plinth]

They need to remove kekvv and add lulw instead

[queen sigil]

And again

dont talk here

if you arent

going

to

take

our

god damn

advice

NoOoo I wANAnAN Get ThiS swItcH so I Can lUbe iT aNd fIlm it

You were literally talking about how you wanted alpacas because they were really smooth and you dont have to lube them

now you are choosing to get completely different switches just so you can lube and film them

[last plinth]

This is like the only time i can get some high tier stuff

so i just went for good ones i guess

[queen sigil]

Do your parents a favor and get a cheap keyboard for like 150

[last plinth]

They gave me a budget of 3.6k

I was suprised

[queen sigil]

you are literally the most spoiled 13 year old i've ever seen

[last plinth]

“spoiled”

[queen sigil]

I've seen reality TV shows with kids less spoiled than you

[last plinth]

Imagine watching reality tv shows

[queen sigil]

Jesus christ grow up

[last plinth]

What about gateron yellow milky housing

[queen sigil]

go buy a corsair keyboard

[little crater]

^

[queen sigil]

at this point

im done helping you

[little crater]

not suprised lol

[queen sigil]

I've build probs 20 keyboards from like 100-650$

and jesus christ i've never had someone be this big of a pain

[little crater]

#peripherals-and-displays message

not his first rodeo

[tacit wing]

i have a problem of impulsively buying stuff

[little crater]

kinda same

[queen sigil]

jesus christ I hope you can spread some of that impule buying on cntrl

[tacit wing]

i spontaneously just make a decision

like how i copped my SSP's

i was going to wait for a sale on the 23rd but Lance said nOooO bUy iT nOw!!!

and i did so i went off on him and i got banned for profanity

[atomic elm]

What’s the cheapest 240hz monitor just wondering

[queen sigil]

#old-monitors-and-tv

also super cheap monitors are usually something you shouls stay away from

[little crater]

nah

super cheap monitors best monitors

mines still going strong no issues

💪

[atomic elm]

Not super cheap

But not like 400$ monitor

[last plinth]

Its like an acer one

[little crater]

huh?

[atomic elm]

For my monitor I can get for 300$

[tacit wing]

#old-monitors-and-tv

[last plinth]

Like

Its called an acer chmiibrix or something idk

Its at 270 last time i checked

[queen sigil]

cntrl

do everybody here a favor

and stop talking here

[timber ridge]

cntrl

get gat yellows

with your budget, youre gonna have trash keycaps

if you get kiwis

[queen sigil]

"budget"

read what he said

and dont help him

[timber ridge]

ill give my last piece of advice, then im done

unless he chooses to follow it

get either ks3, cap or milkys

yellows

[queen sigil]

Just dont help him

the only reason he wants to build a keyboard is so he can say he has an expensive keyboard

[timber ridge]

wait when did he say that

[queen sigil]

He didnt but its pretty safe to assume

[timber ridge]

probably

[queen sigil]

He chooses alpaca so he doesnt need to lube

but then he changes to something else JUST so he can film

[timber ridge]

i lowkey overpaid for my switches

ngl

[small nimbus]

xd hallo dino

kinda giga late reply

[timber ridge]

i thought it was 5.50 per 10

but it was 6.50

[tacit wing]

hes spending a ton on a keyboard just for the sake of a "one-time only" splurge from his parents

[timber ridge]

his pc

is so uneeded

like

its beyond overkill

tbh, he should jus get a keychron or durgod hades

wrong chat oops

[tacit wing]

i spend invest in audio because i love it but in the case of cntrl the investment is justified through just taking advantage of a set budget and not for the love of keyboards

[timber ridge]

hes trying to check as many checkboxes as possible

[queen sigil]

hes doesnt do anything that needs a good GPU or CPU

He is hardly interested in keyboards as a hobby

[last plinth]

Also i was gonna film alpacas too

[timber ridge]

im getting a 3080 and i dont need it either but its my money

[queen sigil]

He just wants to use all the money he has

[timber ridge]

you know alpacas, mauves and h1s are all the same

jus get ev 02 switches

since theyre in stock rn

or the gb is up for it

[queen sigil]

@last plinth tell my why you want a mechanical keyboard

[last plinth]

Ill get gat yellows

Wym WHY

[queen sigil]

It just sounds like you want something shiny and expensive

[last plinth]

its better

Than membrane

[queen sigil]

Lol no

[last plinth]

Yes

[queen sigil]

tell me what makes them better

[last plinth]

If u insist ill get gat yellows

[timber ridge]

do you know if you even like tactile switches

its a hit or miss with ppl

[last plinth]

Dont know

The only keeb ive ever tried was a cynosa chroma

[queen sigil]

https://youtu.be/Qr3nYR15wxU?t=110

[last plinth]

Ive had that for 2 years thinking it was mechanical

[queen sigil]

Here is a video you might actually listen to

[last plinth]

TAEHA TYPES POGGERS

[tacit wing]

[queen sigil]

see did you hear what he said

he said it makes no difference

now stop bothering people here

[timber ridge]

ive been watching keeb stuff for so long lol

my irl was into it and i never understood why at the time

[queen sigil]

If you want advice go find people who don't know you

[timber ridge]

it was b4 things blew up, like 6 years ago or so lol

[queen sigil]

so you can annoy them instead of us

until they give up on you

[tacit wing]

yes. i nearly pulled the trigger on a kbd7v2 build kit and i asked myself will i really appreciate this investment? then i realized i love music alot and its probably a better idea to go the audio route instead

and thats how i found me hobby

[queen sigil]

I built a GK61 4 years ago

as my first build

[timber ridge]

i skipped the audio route for keeb this time

but ive been putting my money into my pc and setup lately

[queen sigil]

its time for you to stop coming here for help

[timber ridge]

gotta love peripheral chat lmao

[queen sigil]

We've helped cntrl for over a month

And i'm done with it

I've seen people down 500$ on a keyboard before you down 1$ on a keyboard

You are by far the worst experience i've ever had helping people when it comes to mech keyboards

[timber ridge]

gg

leo i think i found a kit for my other build

[queen sigil]

go find some other way to waste the 3000$ your parents gave you for existing

[tacit wing]

spend $3000 on gacha game instead

[timber ridge]

think ima go with this unless i can get my hands on a nk65 v2

or a new 65 percent kit comes out

[tacit wing]

Razer Keyboard POGGERS

[queen sigil]

LOL

ACTUALLY

@timber ridge does it have RGB underglow

and easy macros and adressable RGB keys

[timber ridge]

im p sure it does

its the portico

but im only getting it for the color

none of the budget kits have a simple black case, theyre all smoked for some reason

[queen sigil]

end game

almost 2 months

of helping cntrl

and also @sharp kindle care to explain why u said u like speed silvers

[last plinth]

Preference

[queen sigil]

stop talking here

[last plinth]

@timber ridge which type of gat yellows do u recommend

[queen sigil]

oh my god

you're like

a

little

baby

[last plinth]

7

[queen sigil]

Just get literally anything

https://www.razer.com/gaming-keyboards/Razer-BlackWidow-V3-Pro/RZ03-03531700-R3M1 get this

its hits that budget you really want to max out

now dont come back

[last plinth]

[queen sigil]

it's what you're looking for

expensive and has a cool name

[last plinth]

Im getting

https://kbdfans.com/collections/cherry-profile/products/epbt-x-gok-bow-keycaps-set#

[queen sigil]

your 13 year old friends will be jealous

dont worry

now stop coming back

[last plinth]

And gat yellows

[timber ridge]

if youre lubing and filming it doesnt matter which yellows

[last plinth]

Im gonna only film

[timber ridge]

any still

only difference between them will be like stem and housing wobble

filming will fix that

[torpid sapphire]

do you know the name of this macro pad? ive been looking for it for awhile

nvm I found it

[timber ridge]

is it in stock lol

[last plinth]

Oh

Then i might not use my films

[calm cobalt]

best headphones under 50 with mic?

[timber ridge]

theres not much tbh

[hardy lantern]

the hyperx cloud stinger?

it retails for around $50 i think @calm cobalt

[last plinth]

Arctis 1

[hardy lantern]

forgot about the kraken x

[timber ridge]

would put a bit more into a headset tbh

buy nice or buy twice

[hardy lantern]

get a hyperx cloud 2 if your budget permits

[toxic scroll]

I need help to buy an headset

I just found a razer kraken X for 40€, is it a good deal or is it there another better headset i can buy for less than 50€?

Also i need a mouse pad and i found an omen headset 800 with a mousepad included for 53€

[calm cobalt]

a friend has had a lot of issues with the kraken x

not durable at all i believe

[hardy lantern]

thats due to the material being used to make it lighter^^^^^

[foggy crescent]

i mean what kind of stress does itneed to brake?

[hardy lantern]

honestly, i would spend more than $50 for a pair of headphones

[foggy crescent]

i wouldnt buy gaming headphones...

[daring zenith]

I would buy a PC37x >:D

[west hornet]

For around 50usd ports pro probably best but not everyone like the looks

[obsidian night]

tuf vg27aq or Legion Y27q-20

[daring zenith]

@obsidian night I say neither, and check out the Gigabyte M27q on Newegg

[obsidian night]

whats the difference with GIGABYTE G27Q

just higher refresh rate?

[sly warren]

What are you trying to do with this monitor.

And what resolution/refresh rate are you targeting?

[hardy lantern]

the g27q has adaptive sync and g sync

[obsidian night]

144hz is great, mostly gaming

[hardy lantern]

the m27 is 170hz while the g27 is 144hz

[daring zenith]

@obsidian night M27q had a better panel than G27q, better color coverage and accuracy

[obsidian night]

i was 90% ready to buy the tuf

what you think this has things better over it

[daring zenith]

Cheaper, vg27aq is ~420$, M27q is 360$, basically same refresh rate, I'd say better colors, because the M27q seems to have a cherry picked panel for color accuracy.

[obsidian night]

its going on sale too right?

couldnt find it on rtings

[stark crater]

@last plinth its ok @queen sigil is always a pphead lmfao

dont take it personal

[amber oracle]

@queen sigil have you considered that behaviour like that is rude as all heck?

[normal barn]

lmao

literally everyone who came in this channel

has gotten bullied

[amber oracle]

far from it

and the ones that have, is too many

[normal barn]

i mean

literally everyone here

has been bullied once

[amber oracle]

That very much depends on your definition.

[stark crater]

it isnt a one time thing its been going on for a while

one time thing is just being rude, bullying is constantly doing it lmao

[amber oracle]

i am aware @stark crater

[stark crater]

thats like 1/100 of what i picked

i was talking to other ghuy

not u naed

his definition of bullying seems off

[west hornet]

Scary

[tacit wing]

Leo's not gonna get banned because he's not using bad words

[amber oracle]

i have said it before, but i enjoy when there is debate.

i do not enjoy gossip or slander

[tacit wing]

this channel has a problem with elitism. newcomers most often gets shut down for asking noob questions regarding custom keyboards

[neon quartz]

dino 💤#8226 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[tacit wing]

i mean shut down as in get roasted for asking stupid questions

[amber oracle]

watch that language mate

re: questions: i have said the following, many many many times now: There are no stupid questions, only silly answers.

[tacit wing]

lol

[amber oracle]

all of the people that participate in this channel specifically. Have started somewhere and most of them have gotten smarter with time.

[tacit wing]

shut was typed the other way

[sharp kindle]

@tacit wing ok thats a fair point about elitism, but for cntrl, the man has been here forever asking questions and sometimes it sounds like he hasnt done any research on his own

[tacit wing]

[sharp kindle]

I will try not to be as aggressive to newcomers in the future though

[amber oracle]

@sharp kindle does not matter one single bit <- about cntrl

[sharp kindle]

no no, dino has a point, sometimes we are a bit aggresive to newcomers

[amber oracle]

see edit please :)

[sharp kindle]

oop

ok

[amber oracle]

a person can ask all the questions they want

yes, they can even ask the same question over and over again

you have the tools to ignore them if you want

[tacit wing]

i had to sermon the chat a little bit when stuff got out of hand lol

[amber oracle]

you also have the choice to answer them IF you want

and yes @sharp kindle i am fully aware that i dont come across as the person with the most humour.

Because i generally try to stick very close to what is fact.

[tacit wing]

yes all of the clowns are in general chat

[amber oracle]

they are in every channel. Its up to the regular talkers in each channel to behave in a way that they find okay

(which must still be within the rules ofc)

[west hornet]

[amber oracle]

no, you are just the local drool supplier @west hornet :P

[west hornet]

https://tenor.com/view/nogamenolife-sora-shiro-jibril-tablet-gif-6238125

[tacit wing]

clowns as in the people with most humor

[amber oracle]

eh, from my pov, the ones with the least are in general :)

[tight pulsar]

man usps shipping has been so wacky recently none of my packages have been on time

[queen sigil]

@amber oracle we've been helping him with his keyboard for over a month and he hasnt taken a single suggestion by anybody here

He asks for where to find keycaps, nachos literally gives him a website to look for keycaps

and he doesn't even check it

It's been 2 months asn we're just back at where we started with the very first recommendation he got

[amber oracle]

and?

[queen sigil]

He's basically coming back just to tell us that he's buying X

[amber oracle]

by your logic i should be annoying you everytime you say something

[queen sigil]

Then asks us about X

[amber oracle]

and i dont

its a choice mate

[queen sigil]

Then X doesn't work with X

then he leaves and chooses something else

And the reasoning he chooses some of the things he does

is straight up dumb

[amber oracle]

no, its normal consumer behaviour

there is nothing "dumb" about it

[queen sigil]

He wanted alpacas because they were smooth and you didnt have to lube them

then he changed to different switches so he could film switches not even knowing what that does

[amber oracle]

have you ever considered that he might just be looking for interaction with other people?

did that thought EVER cross your mind?

[queen sigil]

Then why would he be asking for help in peripheral chat

[amber oracle]

its a community

[queen sigil]

There's a general chat

[amber oracle]

its active

perhaps he feels that this is a more friendly channel.

[queen sigil]

And as far as I can tell he's not even that interested in building keyboards

[amber oracle]

from your pov that is.

your pov is yours

that is all it ever can be.

[queen sigil]

We've directed himto websites to help him

Then he completely ignores them

[amber oracle]

so, if i direct you to a "how to actually not behave rude" website, we wont EVER have this chat again?

[queen sigil]

It's more like if someone directed you to a gas station and they asked there where to get gas

[amber oracle]

except, the attendant at the gas station is forced to answer. Because they are paid to answer

you are NOT forced to answer

you have a choice

[west hornet]

here is brick wall https://i.imgur.com/kv6Op6h.png

[tight pulsar]

what even is that

[queen sigil]

The people here have been trying to help him for almost 2 months now

[amber oracle]

ew, i dont want your drool covered left overs @west hornet :P

[west hornet]

haha

[queen sigil]

Just for his keyboard

[tacit wing]

most of my favorite albums are brick walls but i still enjoy them regardless :((

[amber oracle]

and again @queen sigil, so what?

[tacit wing]

radiohead's ok computer

[queen sigil]

And I have definitely helped him

[tight pulsar]

we love brick walls

[queen sigil]

But it's the fact that he ignores everything

and chooses to keep coming back

[amber oracle]

then stop answering.

it is that simple @queen sigil

[west hornet]

ye depends on the song tho, brick wall i would guess a lot because so many fills, loudness and the obsession with compressors like ott in the industry, i no pro tho so could be completely wrong

[queen sigil]

I'm trying to see if I can get him off everybody's backs

[amber oracle]

you are not everyone else thou @queen sigil

[queen sigil]

Because the fact that people here besides me are still trying to help him

[amber oracle]

you dont act on behalf of everyone else

[queen sigil]

and no matter who it is it's just wasting their time

[amber oracle]

this is again, their choice.

people are free to make that choice. by themselves, for themselves

i dont agree with the part selections that 99.99% of builders make. That does not make me hurl insults at them

[queen sigil]

But again i'm pretty sure someone said this a while back to him about audio

the fact that there is always going to be someone trying to help him

[amber oracle]

and from my pov @queen sigil your actions hurt the community. hence why i made the choice to talk with you about it.

@west hornet you know what Sensation White/Black is?

[west hornet]

no

[queen sigil]

i'm not here to represent or be a part of to make friends here

I'm here just so the occasional person who actually asks for advice will get that advice

and be on with their day

[west hornet]

festival?

[amber oracle]

aye, which is my own stance. @queen sigil

@west hornet yes,

[west hornet]

i think i was in amsterdam at one point, one day i want to spend more time in places ive been, looks interesting tho

[amber oracle]

reason i ask i because of the "brickwall" comment earlier

it used to be that sensation black from the mid 00's was actually melodic

[tight pulsar]

imagine being able to travel

[amber oracle]

yes, it was HARD vs the sensation white stuff

but, it was still melodic

trying to find a really good example

[tacit wing]

the Shoegaze genre are innately brickwalls because loudness and the unrefined layering is part of the appeal

like My Bloody Valentine stuff

or Slowdive

[west hornet]

im watching vids of it, looks so cool

[tight pulsar]

why do videos or songs with sound in only 1 ear sound so weird

[queen sigil]

Ok but last thing, although some of the things I said last night was just me being tired and annoyed, I still do stand by what I said about him just wanting expensive things because his parrents are giving him a budget

[amber oracle]

@queen sigil again, you are free to have your views. that is part of what being in a accepting community is about. :)

@west hornet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nldjzWk1zF4 <- example of what i talked about earlier

those bridges and drops are just ... lovely!

vs what sensation black is now? ... i hope you have noise guards, because holy heck

this is the sensation white from that year https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apBH79_woow

[tacit wing]

this prolly the worst recording i have. have to go down a whole 12 db

in courtesy of Ghosty

[amber oracle]

but yes Ghost, IF you want a EXPERIENCE, something like Sensation is one heck of one :)

Wonderland etc etc are the same

[tacit wing]

i went to Countdown last year

[amber oracle]

wonderland is not wonderland, its Tomorrowland

i always get that wrong :)

[west hornet]

lol

[neon quartz]

foesho#1840 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[west hornet]

i have some that go to -14 or -15

[atomic elm]

Is 7.1 bs

[amber oracle]

@west hornet https://youtu.be/MglnNn_rB3I?t=1213

being in a crowd like that? for something like that?

heck the hell yes!

I WAS HERE

i started off 2020 like this :,((

[small nimbus]

[west hornet]

the only thing i don't like about concerts is how loud they are, often hurts my ears also depends where you are tho

[tacit wing]

thats why you have to take stuff to dull out your senses

[small nimbus]

O_O dino

[west hornet]

[amber oracle]

and if you really like the hard hitting beats, Qlimax would be the place

or Defqon

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Kz3rLFgki0

[tacit wing]

Hardstyle pog

[amber oracle]

disclosure: friends and colleagues working that one

light and camera side that is

does not change that its one heck of a spectacle :D

[sharp kindle]

i come back to this channel and its music spam

very nice

[amber oracle]

nah, we have not started spamming, yet

[west hornet]

it's not spam, it's art

[tacit wing]

its jarring to see these types of videos in the middle of a pandemic

[amber oracle]

consider this

[tacit wing]

Countdown feels like a lifetime ago

[normal barn]

lol

aight

[amber oracle]

i would not have been around in this server over the summer at ALL

if this pandemic was not active

[normal barn]

dino

be prepared

for a celebration

[amber oracle]

i would have been out in the field working those gigs

[normal barn]

imma get sumthing

[amber oracle]

it is what it is Dino

[west hornet]

careful tsk tsk

[tacit wing]

[amber oracle]

and @tacit wing not trying to rule press you, just be careful okay? :)

[tacit wing]

yes i know getting me unbanned was a chore

[tight pulsar]

if i could id totally go to some of those events

[tacit wing]

i have a really wide vocabulary and i choose not to use it sometimes

[west hornet]

vocab

the one thing i struggle with in all language

[amber oracle]

words be words laddies

[tacit wing]

if you start going, you may become more of an extrovert

[west hornet]

uh oh

[amber oracle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWb5Qc-fBvk <- one of the better aftermovies

that was the period where that type of job = if you wanted work, it was there

there was ALWAYS an event going

[tacit wing]

i went to go see Travis Scott in his Astroworld tour and his set was pretty cool

the man had a whole roller coaster inside the venue

i have booty pictures because i had an iphone 6 at the time

[amber oracle]

suure

blame the phone for you snapping pictures of behinds :P

(yes, i know that is not what you meant)

[tacit wing]

lol the railing and cart was literally suspended on some strings

[amber oracle]

there is a total of 6 steel wires that i notice right away on that

[tacit wing]

i had the worst seat of all time i was trying to sneak into the pit below

[amber oracle]

actually, double that, there is 12 wires

[tacit wing]

but the pit so much more $$$$

[amber oracle]

each of those can as a minimum lift 500kg

that tells you just a bit about the amount of weight that is up there :)

[tacit wing]

life before the pandemic was an enigma

my favorite venue i went to so far

very chill atmosphere

no crazy strobe lights or anything like that everything was lush

[amber oracle]

mine would be a skrillex concert in Brighton, England

i was wrong.

Brixton

[tacit wing]

are you talking about the venue he used and the set or Skrillex himself?

[amber oracle]

Venue he used

Brixton O2 academy

[tacit wing]

i have my go-to venue which is the Observatory in Santa Ana

very affordable tickets and feels more home-y

[amber oracle]

https://f3e6t7k9.stackpathcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/O2-ACADEMY-BRIXTON-LOTI.jpg

[tacit wing]

The Forum in LA is $$$$

[amber oracle]

that is ONE heck of a venue

the above is just a random shot of someone performing there

i dont have a single picture from the event itself

its all in my head :)

[tacit wing]

Travis had the biggest crowd i went to so far

[amber oracle]

:)

when i think back, its very very very few events that i actually attend that i have any pictures from

[tacit wing]

i had zero pictures on the last event i attended, which was countdown

thats because i was.... not in optimal shape

[amber oracle]

:)

what impressed me the most about the Skrillex one was the sound was so effing good

i did not hear a single thing out of place at all

which considering the volume levels and architecture is very impressive

and yes, it was LOUD

but your ears did not scream at you for hours afterwards

[tacit wing]

i found my ears to be resiliant in taking a beating after being in front of a speaker of a Brockhampton concert

even being not under the influence

[amber oracle]

its all about the sound engineers behind the mixer Dino

[tacit wing]

i was front row right side, but by the end of the show i was somewhere in the middle because of the moshpits LOL

the crowd literally MOVES you

[amber oracle]

the best speakers in the world can make you cry both in pain and from pure bliss

[queen sigil]

cry in spending life savings on speaker

[amber oracle]

@little crater you cheeky git!

[tight pulsar]

its true tho :v

[twilit finch]

Hey

Anyone know of any good gaming mice with at least 2 easy-to-reach side buttons?

[normal barn]

@twilit finch hi

@twilit finch ... budget plz

[last plinth]

Wym easy to reach

[twilit finch]

My previous mouse was an M65 Pro RGB

[normal barn]

and grip

and stuff

but budget and grip mostly

[last plinth]

Rival 3 best budget

[brisk parcel]

they look pretty okay for straight specs

[twilit finch]

my budget is probably less than like $80, but if there is one for like $100 or more still tell me so I can try to get a Black Friday Deal

[last plinth]

Also what games will u be playing

[brisk parcel]

never listened to them so idk how they're duned but oh well

tuned*

[normal barn]

@brisk parcel imma use these as wireless daily drivers

i thnk thats what u call it

[brisk parcel]

@twilit finch from experience, don't spend more than you have to

[twilit finch]

I don't really care about grip and stuff. I play with like 3200 DPI, I like something that is light, yet doesnt slide too much.

[last plinth]

Ok

[twilit finch]

Wired or Wireless I don't care but Wired is preferred

[brisk parcel]

I have an M65 rgb elite from corsair and it's just fine for me

[twilit finch]

@ me if you have any suggestions

[twilit finch]

smol fingers 😅

[last plinth]

https://gearsearch.gg/shape?Corsair=M65 Pro&SteelSeries=Rival 3

rival 3 is pretty small

[normal barn]

@twilit finch model o wireless

way

its as fast as wired

really light

[twilit finch]

My previous mouse was the M65 RGB Pro it seemed like medium sized to me

[normal barn]

and a really good mosue

[twilit finch]

or actually....

I just had a crazy realization

[last plinth]

Rival 3 is good

Theres the rival 3 wireless aswell

[twilit finch]

What if my fingers are not small? WHAT IF IM JUST USING TOO BIG OF A MOUSE

BRUH
