spearte mic

@tacit wing OMG I TRIED OUT MY DOLBY MUSIC PRESET

[normal barn]

MY ROOM IS THUMPING

[queen sigil]

this dispute is never getting fixed

[normal barn]

THE THEUMPING THE HIGH THE LOWS THA BASS

OMG

when i made it game mode

musci sound brighter

and movie makes it kinda dark ish

[thick plank]

He could also get a 400i

[queen sigil]

why cant all the audio people here like agree on one recomendation

[normal barn]

...

leo

cmon

u should be the lsat person saying this

[queen sigil]

Me lance and smrth all agree that keychron is good

[normal barn]

i agree with that

but like

[tight pulsar]

because literally everything is subjective nobody has the same ears

[queen sigil]

and me and nachos agree that leopold is good

[normal barn]

exactly

[queen sigil]

and lance and other people

[normal barn]

i liek tat too

[thick plank]

I sort of regret selling my 650 now not cause I have a use for the headset but because I want to gut the chasis to make a makeshift he60

[normal barn]

why did u buy the hd800 then

refudn that

and buy the 650

duh

hd800 are 1k man

[queen sigil]

i feel like when it comes to audio its like the equivalent of telling someone what switch to get in a keyboard

[normal barn]

wow u jsut realzied

[thick plank]

Actually audio is pretty objective just what someone is looking for is subjective

[queen sigil]

rather than like getting a really quality keyboard

[thick plank]

@normal barn because the hd800 is great for sound stage and the 660 is a joke in all regards other than vocals where I still have a headset that literally makes it worst than a joke

[tight pulsar]

yeah theres a lot of objectively good headphones but not really a “best” somebody might think like those 70k setups sounds worse than a different one

[normal barn]

yeah

dino

[thick plank]

@tight pulsar there are best headphones just by category

[normal barn]

my room is thumping

living room

is thumping

[tacit wing]

what someone else perceives may be different from how you perceive it. anyone with common sense knows that

[thick plank]

What someone is looking for is the only subjective matter

[normal barn]

dino ths dolby atmos was worth it

coneected t my bose soundlink mini 2

my room is thumping and stuff

[tacit wing]

audio is far from objective, whats objective are frequency response graphs

but how those waves hit our eardrums are 100% subjective

[swift lantern]

gonna start my own audio channel where I use EQ on things like a normal person

[queen sigil]

i dont care if switches are subjective

but clicky switches are bad

[normal barn]

...

i mean they are really loud

but like people might like it

[tacit wing]

they are good at being obnoxious

thats what clickies are good at

[swift lantern]

I have clickies

I haven't used anything other than them though so I have no point of reference

[tight pulsar]

alps clickies are nice

[thick plank]

@tacit wing imaging is objective and is caused by driver shape and size (especially size) detail is based on the weight of the driver and strength of magnets and the size as larger drivers need to move less distance, the sound stage is objective and is based on driver distance and width as a wider driver will have more of a frequency enter from the sides of the ear, and all aspects of fr are objective

The only subjective thing is if I say I want a ton of bass

Or I say I don't value a wide sound stage

[queen sigil]

got my 40$ autemu keyboard for this

[thick plank]

Or if I say I want light trebble

Or if I say I dont care about detail

[tight pulsar]

the raw data is objective how you interpret it isnt

[thick plank]

Those are subjective

[tight pulsar]

imo

[thick plank]

@tight pulsar how your ears interpret it isnt a thing. Everything will be comparatively the same in every aspect other than comfort and again how much you value those consistently comparative values

I cabt somehow perceive a 650 as a wider headset than a sigma

[swift lantern]

I kidna doubt that

[thick plank]

One person might interpret a frequency as painful

Or pleasant

And that is definitely variable

Like I hate 5 and 6khz peaks

Some people don't mind them

My ears are sensitive to that frequency so I can say I want a headset with a smaller peak there

[rugged lion]

Clicky ain’t it chief

Quite frankly

I mean what would u even consider high tier clicky switches?

Box jades?

How u gonna call box jades end game

[thick plank]

I however can't interpret something with a 10db 6khz peak as less loud at 6khz than something with a 10db dip

[tacit wing]

well somebody else may can. just like how i disagreed that 4xx are any wider than devas, thats how i perceived both of those cans having tested the 4xx's for a brief moment with someone i just met in a server, in comparison to my 5xx's/devas. the thing is, you seem to push this agenda that everything you perceive should be the same as everyone else's as well

[queen sigil]

no such thing as clicky end game in my mind

clicky will always be early game

[rugged lion]

Yeah that’s what I’m trying to say

[tacit wing]

where's the disconnect?

[swift lantern]

Everything down the to shape of your ear canals could make a difference

[rugged lion]

That is weird

[swift lantern]

Perception is perception, and not objective no matter how hard you try

[thick plank]

I think it is more down to you having less experience perceiving the differences or maybe not even having access to proper files to compare those differences than science failing

[tacit wing]

the blue dress meme should be more than enough proof for that @swift lantern

[swift lantern]

Exactly

It's not a science thing, that's what graphs are for

[rugged lion]

Some things are objectives in keyboards and headphones

[thick plank]

If I listen to a compressed ass file a 9500 might sound like it has the same detail as my 95x

But thats cause I'm reviewing the file at that point

As it is the bottleneck

[tacit wing]

you have to do an AxB test for the proper methodology

U guys think the keycult is a cop rn?

Money is no object.

Especially when mommy and daddy give u their credit card

[queen sigil]

[rugged lion]

💅🏼

Not actually buying it bc I just bought a id80v2 and might get a second NK65

[tight pulsar]

[rugged lion]

Nope.

Gonna stick with collecting as many boards as possible.

[queen sigil]

lets go collecting boards that are always gonna be available

i mean not always

just usually

[rugged lion]

like what

[sharp kindle]

gb boards

[rugged lion]

compared to what board lmfao

gb boards are gonna be the most limited

[sharp kindle]

wait i read that wrong

i thought he said "lets go collecting boards that arent gonna always be available"

[queen sigil]

ah yes collecting GB boards

never seen anybody do that

[rugged lion]

[tacit wing]

meme

[timber ridge]

do you guys think 250 for a rift s is a good price?

[brisk parcel]

@tacit wing may have to just take a refund on my amp

been over a week since it left chine and no update since then

contacted shenzen again

[timber ridge]

they cant stop shipping tho if its already shipped right ?

[brisk parcel]

well that's what I'm concerned about

it was supposed to take 3 days

they explicitly said they would expedite it since it took over 3 weeks to ship from the factory to them

it's been, now, 9 days

still no amp

but if I get a refund I'm buying a darkvoice on drop instead

since it's $200 instead of $300

[timber ridge]

what amp did you order

[brisk parcel]

remember how I got a littledot mk 2 a few months ago?

and how I had a problem with the volume knob giving me crazy static, well now sometimes it makes the audio not balanced between both channels. I tried swapping tubes back to the stock ones to see if something was wrong with the mullards and got the same effect

so whatever problem it is, is getting progressively worse

I tried a ground loop plug, swapping power tubes as well to see if I could get that static in the right ear too, but it's only the left

[timber ridge]

rip

[brisk parcel]

yeah 😦

[tacit wing]

Ninj your amp is in the middle of the Pacific on a big mf cargo ship doing like 2 knots

i ordered my Moondrops on the 22 of November

[brisk parcel]

bro mine was also sent over via plane

[tacit wing]

thats what they say

[brisk parcel]

that's facts honestly

let's hope so tho right

[tacit wing]

mines been in transit for 15 days

[brisk parcel]

because if in another week I don't get it imma be a lil

[tacit wing]

Shenzen has like 3 different tracking number websites lmao

[brisk parcel]

[tacit wing]

how it got to Singapore i have no idea

[brisk parcel]

[small nimbus]

and I thought my stuff was taking a while

[timber ridge]

when does ur new setup ship

[tacit wing]

from the first pic i posted 4px says my stuff is headed to LAX which is the airport in LA

but when i plug in my tracking number on Shenzen's website its not 4px that has my stuff its Singapore Post

[timber ridge]

gl

[tacit wing]

so either my iem's have been on a plane since the 28th of November

or theyre somewhere in Singapore

those are my theories

[timber ridge]

theyre in some random guy's ear rn

[tacit wing]

thats crazy

ive been on a plane from california to asia and last time i checked it didnt took me a week to get there by plane

actually been more than a week

[brisk parcel]

[hot smelt]

What’s a good online store to buy keycaps in Europe for corsair k95 mx brown

[daring zenith]

Can you even swap the keycaps on Corsair keebs?

[tight pulsar]

yeah

you need different sized keys for the bottom row cause theyre funky and dont have a standard bottom row

[little crater]

doesnt even look like cheating, just an average looking 1v5

[fickle rover]

i dont want the g502 lmao; i plan on purchasing the hyperx pulsefire haste

[normal barn]

@fickle rover wats ur budget

[tight pulsar]

okay so apparently people dont like flipped r5 keycaps

[fickle rover]

for a mouse? ~50. I considered the Glorious model O, but i just realized all my other peripherals are hyperx (kb, headset) and i kinda wanna keep the theme going. if that's stupid though i won't

[normal barn]

LMAO

why

@fickle rover wahts ur gri

grip*

[small nimbus]

lol

that picture response is perfect

gets a lil toxic after that

[fickle rover]

@normal barn claw/fingertip

usually fingertip but i switch to claw after a while cuz fatigue

[normal barn]

so

get

model o

[sharp kindle]

no no

[sharp kindle]

what is ur hand size

smh cholax

didnt even ask hand size

[normal barn]

...

[fickle rover]

uhh.... hand sized

i mean

idk

medium?

lmao

[sharp kindle]

do you have a ruler on you?

just measure from the base of your hand to the top of your middle finger

if its under 18 cm get the viper mini or o-

if not get the o

[heady schooner]

@fickle rover i know you want the g502. the pulse fire haste is good

[sharp kindle]

he claws/ftips...

how tf would the g502 work for that

[normal barn]

lol

i claaw palm

my g502 lightspped

[sharp kindle]

oh god

[fickle rover]

lmao

i have sparked debate

[queen sigil]

imo i dont think i need to flip my entire bottom row

a flipped spacebar is cool

arent flipped spacebars supposed to help your thumb

so a flipped control kinda seems uncomfy

[last plinth]

:/

[queen sigil]

true

nothing about that was sus

unless ur playing in iron 2

shoots first two people he sees, hears a person on stairs, fake plant then predicts the entry

then hears him jump off heaven

[sharp kindle]

honestly not rlly sus

unless its how he flicks that makes u think hes hacking

which is just wrong

[last plinth]

i claim that hes hacking

[sharp kindle]

why

[last plinth]

notice how he only shoots people in the body

[sharp kindle]

that makes him a hacker how?

[last plinth]

and how he tries to shoot thru the box

hes diamond

he randomly went went gold to diamond in a day

classic case of color aimbot

and he doesnt clip it, his friend does

[sharp kindle]

ok mens

[last plinth]

also

he has like 5 vac bans on csgo

[queen sigil]

the first flick was a headshot, secons flick he overaimed and ashusted then got a headshot

then he shoots boxes because someone could be rotating from tree to ramp

thats why he also shoots a shock arrow

[honest pivot]

csgo

everyone knows pixel gun 3d is better

[queen sigil]

i mean if ur used to people with iron aim maybe someone who is as good as a diamond may look like a hacker

[honest pivot]

pixel gun 3d right

[queen sigil]

huh?

[honest pivot]

the best fps game

best free fps

[last plinth]

dude

please

[timber ridge]

id80 is 110 on drop

prob one of the best keeb deals rn

[last plinth]

u can literally SEE the aimlock

and he doesnt aim at the box

he aims at the floor

which is where jetts body lands

and since he doesnt have show corpses off

color aimbot locks on

[little crater]

dude, even i can flick better than him

[queen sigil]

i mean none of those flicks are really sus

and where he shot is a place you wallbang

[little crater]

it wasnt sus at all, it was pretty mediocre

the first flick was nice

[queen sigil]

ive seen better flicks in gold

plus he just has decent croshair plassment

[little crater]

yeah

[queen sigil]

no none of the flicks were really too extreme

like maybe if he did like a 90 degree flick

it would be a bit sus

but hes using an odin

[last plinth]

Its not

man whatever

[queen sigil]

vod review ft a bronze

[last plinth]

im like plat

[queen sigil]

lol and you call that sus

[last plinth]

doesnt make sense dude

you dont know how bad he was

[queen sigil]

ive seen golds who can do those flicks

[last plinth]

why would he shoot a box tho

[queen sigil]

because you can wallbang

[last plinth]

u cant

[queen sigil]

to predict the rotation

with an osin

odin

[last plinth]

hes not that smart man

[queen sigil]

yes

[last plinth]

if he clipped it himself it wouldnt be suspicious

[queen sigil]

and it was just him trying to predict

thats why he also shot a recon bolt

to check if hes in the middle of rotating

[little crater]

if he were hacking you would be able to tell based on his mouse movements alone, you can clearly see they are his own. his crosshair placement at times suggests he cant see the enemy team through walls

thats how i know

experience

[queen sigil]

and just the timing of every kill wasnt sus

ramp kill was based off sound or since he knew person in tree already rotated

the person jumps off heaven so he peaks

nothing sus about that

@last plinth were you the one that clipped it

[timber ridge]

leo you see the 80082 kit

[queen sigil]

@timber ridge the dixie one

[loud rampart]

hey guys anyone know a good 144hz 1440p monitor?

whatever is in stock

viewsonic one seems to be out of stock a lot

px277 prime

[queen sigil]

yeah i think i was thinking of redline

[timber ridge]

and the viewsonic has a horrible name that i dont remember

I wanna see if my irl will pick up a set so we can trade mods lol

[queen sigil]

[normal barn]

oh ok

so i can make it a window key

[timber ridge]

your keycaps arent macros

[queen sigil]

[amber oracle]

not saying you are being mean

saying that there are many different perspectives to how people act

[timber ridge]

fair enough

[last plinth]

and plus its text messages

[amber oracle]

people have a habit of judging first and then acting all kinds of insulted when people call them out for being judgemental @timber ridge

[last plinth]

you could interpret something differently

[amber oracle]

i could voice every time that anyone here says something that i know is wrong. or i could have a life.

i strongly prefer having a life

[cunning hearth]

wha- gmk keycaps for $100?

why not

[queen sigil]

Yeah I honestly dont care how people see me on a discord server

[timber ridge]

i think we know that already

[tight pulsar]

@cunning hearth have you seen the color matching

[cunning hearth]

yea

whats wrong with it

[tight pulsar]

here is a render

[queen sigil]

yay render

[tight pulsar]

heres how it turned out

[queen sigil]

man is that an xbox controller

[cunning hearth]

why is the gray so much lighter

but i mean its still good

[timber ridge]

[cunning hearth]

50 cameras??

[queen sigil]

its to flex their "setup"

bruh i just wanna see a decent picture of a keyboard not how many monitors you have

[timber ridge]

[normal barn]

@tight pulsar i've been wanting to ask u

why do u do compact mode

or was it @amber oracle

[queen sigil]

bro u dont need to tag everybody that you think of

it was nachos

and most people do it for how it looks

[normal barn]

holy god

this look so bad

[queen sigil]

well modding discord clients is against tos

[amber oracle]

considering that some of use actually prefer questions that involve us to have us tagged, its fine :)

[queen sigil]

and some people dont want to risk it

[amber oracle]

compact mode for me is as close as i get to the IRC format that i would honestly prefer it was instead @normal barn

[normal barn]

wait wat

wats irc formate

[amber oracle]

[amber oracle]

its a super low data use chat client that has been around for a very long time :)

[queen sigil]

anybody know a decent screwdriver set

for like electronics

cheap one

[normal barn]

uhh

defind cheap

[queen sigil]

under 40$

[solar raft]

Jayztwocents has that one that sponsor, ifixit? Haven’t used it though

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QZLV03O/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=sl1&tag=expresstek-20&linkId=fdd4d4de977286f37655fcf45e3fd906

this is what I have though

[queen sigil]

If it sponsors a yt channel chances are it's overpriced

[solar raft]

does the job

[last plinth]

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/ifixit-essential-electronics-toolkit/6283604.p?skuId=6283604&ref=212&loc=1&extStoreId=542&ref=212&loc=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIloyh7Oe87QIVehmtBh309Av_EAQYASABEgILf_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

[solar raft]

Yeah, I think the kit is like $35

[last plinth]

ifixit is really good

25$

[solar raft]

Oh that one is $25, not bad

[queen sigil]

for 25$ they dont even include an antistatic wristband

[last plinth]

:/

[solar raft]

https://www.amazon.com/GANGZHIBAO-Precision-Electronics-Screwdriver-Anti-Static/dp/B07ZK73HDZ well I have no experience with this one and can’t exactly “recommend” it, however, reviews seem decent and it comes with an antistatic band

[last plinth]

get ifixit and buy a seperate antistatic wrist band

[queen sigil]

Yeah I fixit kits seem liike they ensure things that I really dont need

[last plinth]

so get that

[queen sigil]

Plus im not repairing phones, i dont need some suction cup

[last plinth]

ok

comes with tweezers

[queen sigil]

And i kinda want advice from someone who has actually tried a product

[last plinth]

ok u dont gotta bully me like that man

:(

[daring zenith]

@queen sigil Forky is prob the guy to ask, iirc he said GN teardown kit is good, but you're also paying extra for GN, and he mentioned there was other good screwdriver sets

[queen sigil]

@daring zenith im just trying to get a cheap kit for someone building their first pc

not someone disassembling their gpu

to liquid nitrogen cool lol

[tight pulsar]

just go buy some screwdrivers from home depot or something

[royal sandal]

aside from price, is the Iskur a good chair?

from Razer?

[queen sigil]

no

[daring zenith]

Yea, I think forky was talking about individual screwdrivers that were a good price

I'm trying to look for the logs

[royal sandal]

care to explain?

[queen sigil]

gaming chairs are in general a waste of money

[royal sandal]

probably

but I like the aesthetic

and branding

im a bit of a fanboy ngl

[queen sigil]

razer branding

[solar raft]

#general-chat message

There’s one message

[queen sigil]

I mean razer as a compani isnt a good one imo

but if you like the looks and the branding

[daring zenith]

I know he linked me something

so I'm trying to find it

[queen sigil]

then that should be enough to buy something

[royal sandal]

I know their products get a bit expensive but they are good products nonetheless

[queen sigil]

sss"good products"

I cant asy how good a specific gaming chair is

but i know as a whole gaming chairs usually arent that comfortable

[royal sandal]

im not necessarily talking about the chair

just razer in general

[queen sigil]

I mean their peripherals are

id say just straight up bad

[daring zenith]

Found the logs, it's in special channel

[royal sandal]

nani?

[daring zenith]

#special-role-channel message

[royal sandal]

are you saying Razer products are bad?

[queen sigil]

exactally

[daring zenith]

and this is what Naed uses
https://www-us.wera.de/en/

[royal sandal]

so thats a yes?

[queen sigil]

yes

[royal sandal]

alright well ive got a confirmation bias so im going to pretend I didnt read that

lol

[queen sigil]

they just arent good quality products

and over priced

[royal sandal]

i get overpriced but how are they not high quality?

[queen sigil]

their mice arent terrible

[royal sandal]

ok the mice are great, even in competition with logi or steelseries

[queen sigil]

their keyboards

are like worst on maerket

[calm cobalt]

Does anyone know a good 100% pcb?

[royal sandal]

whats better?

[queen sigil]

like every keyboard

[royal sandal]

care to be a little more specific?

[queen sigil]

keychron

[swift lantern]

@tacit wing you remember the name of that foam people use for mods?

[queen sigil]

leopold

razer keyboards

have terrible witches

terrible switches

terrible keycaps

im pretty sure some of their keyboards are like all plastic

they arent hot wap

etc

also razer synapse is terrible

[tacit wing]

@royal sandal Razer Mice are stellar ever since their Viper lineup dropped

model >>> brand

[daring zenith]

but dino

his name

Leo's entire life is keeb

[queen sigil]

no its just

ive owned a razer keyboard

and ive tried a good keyboard

[tacit wing]

mod for what?

[swift lantern]

Headphon

[tacit wing]

foam as in the in-line felts behind the earpads?

[swift lantern]

If I can cop some HE4XX I want to attempt to make a mod

Like the foam that comes with 58x jubilee for example

[tacit wing]

yeah the 58x is the only "foam mod' i know of

im ignorant of anything in regards to the 4xx

[swift lantern]

It's more so because I think just slapping a solid material over it is guaranteed to leak sound in a bad way

Gotta have a semi permeable buffer

Well I'll look into it

I might attempt one for 6xx as well if for no other reason than it'd be fun to try

[royal cloak]

I typically buy into razor because I just like my stuff to match and they do last a good while, but I've never bought a mouse or a keyboard at full price

[tacit wing]

https://youtu.be/85ZOJacP05Q

[royal cloak]

I've only gotten them on sale

[tacit wing]

as far as aftermarket foam goes i have no idea

this man just cut up his OEM ones

[swift lantern]

I suppose I could buy foam pads and just cut em and form em

[turbid torrent]

My headphones aren't showing up on either windows or device manager. I suspect it is a driver issue, but I can't seem to successfully install a new driver. any ideas why?

[queen sigil]

is ur usb dead

[turbid torrent]

noI

[swift lantern]

Bluetooth headphon?

[turbid torrent]

no

wired

not usb tho

its for the audio ports

[swift lantern]

Hmm

[turbid torrent]

tried to install the realtek driver, bsod

thru device manager

[swift lantern]

Front ports vs back ports no difference?

[turbid torrent]

yep

it wont detect

[swift lantern]

Maybe try installing an older version of the driver

[turbid torrent]

It would only put audio on my monitor

which dont even have a speaker

[elder pumice]

is it worth it to go 240hz 1080p, or is 1440p 144hz better?

or at that point is it just personal pref

[queen sigil]

1440 144

[elder pumice]

sweet, thanks!

[queen sigil]

the better quality is easier to see than the faster refreash ratte

imo

[turbid torrent]

@swift lantern I just tried, bsod. tread exception or smth like that?

[swift lantern]

Honestly no clue then

[tacit wing]

on-board audio troubleshooting is honestly rocket science

[sharp kindle]

it honestly depends on what games you play

[tacit wing]

having been on 144 for years before switching to 240 there was a notificable difference, however i WOULDN'T say its worth it if i didn't play CSGO

and also i only have a 2060 so

[sharp kindle]

my friend is one of those idiots that believes that "humans can't see over 60fps"

[tacit wing]

you can immediately tell over 60hz just even by cursor movement lmao

[sharp kindle]

hes stupid

[tacit wing]

his eyes has the same fps as a Charlie Chaplin movie

[last plinth]

LMAO

same

my friend thinks we cant see over 60fps either

[west hornet]

on-board audio troubleshooting is honestly rocket science
i can confirm

[swift lantern]

Big brain play, get a usb dac

[sharp kindle]

u still get v good fps on csgo and valorant though

[queen sigil]

wait do royal kludge keyboards come with lubed stabs

[sharp kindle]

idk

[tacit wing]

yeah i was saying jumping to 1440p wouldn't be exactly the best for me

although its doable with an overclock but i wouldn't bother

[radiant cove]

Hello everyone; looking for a per-key-RGB keyboard, but trying not to break the bank... wondering if anyone has any recommendations?

For example, was looking at the Steelseries Apex 7, but no one has any stock. Or the Asus TUF K3, but again no stock - or people are selling it without specifying the key switch type - which doesn't instill much confidence

[vernal plinth]

what switches u like?

[radiant cove]

I I had to be picky, I'd say MX Browns, or something similar - but really anything not loud like the blues would do

[vernal plinth]

I use the k55 mx blues

I love them

[radiant cove]

for me it's mostly the sound - it's for my home recording studio - don't want the noise

And it looks like the K55 only has 3 zones, instead of full per-key-RGB. I'd like to make shortcut keys for my software certain colours to help with learning a new DAW

[vernal plinth]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/K3wkcf/fnatic-ministreak-rgb-wired-gaming-keyboard-fg-kb-5060455782031

this looks good and uses silent red swiches

45 action force and they have noise dampening pads

plus the canucks like it

[radiant cove]

hey that looks about right, in the right price for me too

thanks @vernal plinth

[vernal plinth]

u got it fam

[hollow pond]

idk if this is the right channel but i was looking into getting a wireless adapter any recommendations ?

for wifi

[vernal plinth]

I do have recommendations

[hollow pond]

gimme

i have one rn

[vernal plinth]

I still haven't transferred to ethernet lol

[hollow pond]

but its not picking up the 5ghz

lmao my ports dont work

but i'd rather not run a wire through my room regardless

what are the recommendations? @vernal plinth

[vernal plinth]

ok, simmer down lol

I have used this, probably one of the best looking

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Czdrxr/tp-link-archer-tx50e-pcie-x1-80211abgnacax-wi-fi-adapter-archer-tx50e

have also used this but looks a little sketch, but it still preforms

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/QDyqqs/ziyituod-zyt-ax200-pcie-x1-80211abgnacax-wi-fi-adapter-zyt-ax200

@hollow pond

[hollow pond]

you think i should use up ?my second m.2 slot instead?

i dont mind using my pcie slots but im saving them for later

[vernal plinth]

its not the same thing

[hollow pond]

whats the difference

idk too much about this stuff lul

[vernal plinth]

the m.2 wifi things sometimes don't even use m.2, and most are for laptops. and you have nowhere to route those antennas

[hollow pond]

they come with antennas?

the one in my old pc doesnt

[vernal plinth]

maybe this will do the trick but I personally never have done this

https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Wi-Fi-Gig-Desktop-AX200-NGWG-NV/dp/B085M7VPDP/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=m.2+wifi&qid=1607390861&sr=8-3

BTW the second m.2 has to be an "e" slot

[queen sigil]

@radiant cove get a keychron k2, k6, or k8

with gateron browns

[vernal plinth]

I mean he is a VIP soo...

[queen sigil]

Better quality better products

rank literally just means how active you are in this server

[sick ocean]

yo boys can someone recommend me a hectic L shaped desk

[queen sigil]

Wdym hectic

[vernal plinth]

I just go sidewalk pirating lol

[hollow pond]

@vernal plinth how do i know if its an e slot?

[vernal plinth]

I would look in the manual

[queen sigil]

Also corsair keyboards are known for cheaping out on parts

[vernal plinth]

really? I am useing one now and love it

[queen sigil]

You can think what you want but theres more to a keyboard than what you might see

actually most of corsair keyboards quality issues are pretty noticeable

if you know what you are looking at

[vernal plinth]

ok, maybe I was just lucky

[queen sigil]

wdym

[sick ocean]

hectic as in a cool desk

practical and looks good

not insanely expensive (ie 500+)

[queen sigil]

I mean i'd say most gaming desks are overpriced

and also wht you find cool is your opinion so i'd just search for what you're looking for

but that's just what i'd say

[queen sigil]

But corsair keyboards function fine, it's not like they just randomly break. But usually for cheaper you can get better prices

[vernal plinth]

good to know man!

[queen sigil]

You might not always get things like multimedia keys or macros but you will be getting stuff like better switches, higher quality keycaps, and better build quality

In general "gaming keyboards" aren't the best unless all you're looking for is simple rgb and gamer esthetics

the second one was cheaper then the first one

by alot

[elder pumice]

GUH

OUCH

that difference is incredible

[vernal plinth]

I am definitly useing the second onw

[elder pumice]

what is that top keyboard?

[queen sigil]

an old razer black widow

it has their kalih switches

[vernal plinth]

i am useing the k55 membrane

[queen sigil]

is was like 120msrp

now they use even cheaper switches

[elder pumice]

oh no kidding huh

that is pretty neat

o

dangit

[queen sigil]

the second one is a keychron k2 hotswap with gateron silent reds

its like 90$ before shipping

[elder pumice]

silent reds

do you mean like

key switches?

[queen sigil]

yes

I wouldnt recommend gateron silent reds

[elder pumice]

no kidding lol

[queen sigil]

i'd get cherry silents over gateron if u can spend more money

[elder pumice]

what if i'm in search of that good ol clackity clak

that razer keyboard sounds like a dream

i just dont know what keyswitch is best

[queen sigil]

then i'd tell you to get the cheapest "mechanical" keyboard you can find

[elder pumice]

does that include that razer keyboard?

[queen sigil]

I wouldnt buy a razer keyboard

like ever

literally garbage

[elder pumice]

oh?

[queen sigil]

I wouldnt recommend clicky switches in general

but people have their preferences

[elder pumice]

ah do you not prefer mechanical keyboards?

[queen sigil]

No I don't recommend clicky switches

there are different types of key switches

[elder pumice]

oh okay

so what key switches would you recommend?

[queen sigil]

depends what type of switch you want and what ur budget is

[elder pumice]

budget i'd say is probably between $150-200

i'd like to get as close as i can to $100 but i also dont wanna cheap out

[queen sigil]

again, it also depends what type of switch you like

[elder pumice]

er

so when you say clicky switches do you mean the ones you put in that soundbyte

the razer ones

because i dont know a lot about key switches

i know that a lot of people prefer cherry mx

[queen sigil]

https://keyboard.university/100-courses/switches-101

[elder pumice]

but that is basically all

[queen sigil]

i mean generally clicky switches arent considered good

but that's all opinion

[elder pumice]

when you said clicky i just thought you meant loud keyboards lol

i didnt know it was actually called clicky

itd be nice if i had something to press to compare them bc im using a membrane keyboard rn

as i am using a laptop

to game and do work

and have been for the last 5 years

[queen sigil]

Then i'd recommend tactile switches

clicky switches are really loud and obnoxious

[elder pumice]

okay

do you think the asus tuf keyboard lineup is any good?

[queen sigil]

Do you need RGB in your keyboard

[elder pumice]

highly preferred

[queen sigil]

Then i'd get a keychron keyboard

with gateron browns

[elder pumice]

oh?

oh these are all wireless

[queen sigil]

They have a USBC connection

but they also have a bluetooth option

[elder pumice]

hmmm

i dont have a usb-c as is

i could use an adapter

but they keyboard is very

grey lol

[queen sigil]

It comes with one

It's nice keycaps

alot better than what comes with almost every "gaming keyboard"

[elder pumice]

im tempted to bite and pick one of these

im not a big fan of the colors tho

which sucks because if it really is that big of a difference in quality i feel stuck between a rock and a hard place

[queen sigil]

I mean they arent that expensive so you can always just replace some keycaps

Keychrons come with upgradeability and come with prelubed stabs which do alot in making your spacebar, shift, enter key, and backspace feel alot smoother

[elder pumice]

oh?

where would i get the keycaps

im tryna find that now

[queen sigil]

depends what type of keycaps you want

[elder pumice]

oh lord there are different types of keycaps too? lol

or just

colors

bc i was definitely thinking some black color scheme

[sharp kindle]

what's ur budget for keycaps

[queen sigil]

There are different profiles but I was just gonna ask whether you want like

RGB or not

[elder pumice]

rgb keycaps?

[elder pumice]

dont know the price range so dont have one rn lol

[queen sigil]

What's your budget for your entire keyboard

[sharp kindle]

like the keycaps allow light to shine through

[elder pumice]

i'd say a maximum of $200

[sharp kindle]

what layout

60%, tkl full size

or 65% 75%

stuff like that

[queen sigil]

shush

stop talking

[elder pumice]

lord almighty uhhh

i

dk lol

im new to keyboards

dont really know anything

[queen sigil]

what keychron keyboard are you looking at

[elder pumice]

was looking at k8

[queen sigil]

well that's a TKL/80% keyboard

@sharp kindle cough

[sharp kindle]

ok ill let u do the work

[queen sigil]

ehhhhhhhhh

[elder pumice]

erm

so tkl is without the numpad?

[queen sigil]

yes

[elder pumice]

huh

i mean ideally i would prefer a numpad

but im still experimenting with everything obviously

[queen sigil]

you can alternatively wait for a keychron c3 to be in stock

[elder pumice]

oh?

c3?

i only see up to c2

[queen sigil]

Oop i meant c2

[elder pumice]

ah okay

yeah apparently everybody loved it as it is out of stock

still confused on where to find keycaps but that looks like what im looking for for sure

[queen sigil]

You can get them from places like

idk

My friend got some keycaps off of KP republic

[swift lantern]

Waaaaantt headphooon

[queen sigil]

no

g oaway

[elder pumice]

wow i just got hit with a freight train of ads

kp republic looks

super janky lol

i mean it says its secure so i suppose thats okay

but im not sure how to navigate this

[queen sigil]

Just go to PBT Doubleshot in the keycap sections

[elder pumice]

are those keycaps?

aha

well i mean half of the things are out of stock

a lot of these are also compatible with cherry mx switches

huh

well

i am totally lost still

i thought i was getting gateron browns or smthn

[timber ridge]

what are you looking for?

[elder pumice]

well im new to the world of keyboards

im in search of a mechanical keyboard

keybored redirected me to keychron's lineup

so i looked over there

i wasnt happy with the key colors though so i went looking for keycaps

[timber ridge]

oh ok

[elder pumice]

so far hasnt ended well

yeah

[timber ridge]

if you want keycaps that wont ship in like 3 months

[last plinth]

Leopold

[timber ridge]

look up hk gaming keycaps on amazon
