[timber ridge]

idk, when things seem too good to be true

they usually are

[queen sigil]

[normal barn]

LMAO

i read the comments

i actually thought it was a steal :C

welp time to go back to think about starfields or t2 or that xiaomi thing and why not add one plus bullet into this sigh

[sly warren]

Why would you want OnePlus headphones?

[queen sigil]

instead of putting springs in switches I should put plastic tubing so it doesnt work

[sharp kindle]

Ez

[swift lantern]

Fiio bta30 ldac thingy poooog

[honest trout]

anyone now of a good 75% pcb that is hot swappable?

[daring zenith]

Depends on budget

[timber ridge]

jus a pcb or a whole kit ?

[sharp kindle]

^^

[normal barn]

@queen sigil im also thinking of getting a keeb

whats the leopold thing u reocmmened is it hotswap and why mx clears

[timber ridge]

its not hotswap

its jus a really good keeb

[normal barn]

oh

welp

[timber ridge]

if you want a prebuilt hotswap, your best option under 100 is keychron

[normal barn]

atleast i can chage keycpas right

[timber ridge]

yea, it uses mx switches

[normal barn]

i like the 1800 layout lol

[timber ridge]

o

you use num pad ?

[normal barn]

yes

i love it

https://drop.com/buy/drop-marvel-infinity-saga-artisan-keycap

this look fire ngl

[timber ridge]

have you looked into 95%

[normal barn]

uhhh

[timber ridge]

it looks cool but idk what build i would put that in

[normal barn]

thats compact 100%

[timber ridge]

yup

[cunning hearth]

Why num pad

I dunno who actually uses that when u have numbers on the main part of keeb

[normal barn]

are 6xx and hd58x uncomfortable ? i heard review that they are

but isn that 1800 layout

then

[swift lantern]

WHAT

[normal barn]

isn 95% comapct verision of 100%

[swift lantern]

literally everyone ever who's worn 58x or 6xx says they are incredibly comfortable

[honest trout]

@timber ridge just a pcb

[swift lantern]

I'd be incline to trust for 6xx, look at those freaking pads bro

[normal barn]

i mean

i saw alot of reviews syying they're uncmforatble

[normal barn]

...

i love the num pad

i tried livign without it

but i cant resist

[cunning hearth]

Whatever

Takes up too much desk space

[normal barn]

....

[swift lantern]

This is the guy who said they're uncomfortable

[normal barn]

@cunning hearth my desk is almost 48 invhes

has a top panel for all my monitors

and a slide thing below the main secton

i think i got enought sace

space*

[cunning hearth]

48 small

My desk 72

[normal barn]

...

so

its big snough

[cunning hearth]

And i have 65%

[normal barn]

enought*

[cunning hearth]

But whatever floats ur boat

[normal barn]

...

[cunning hearth]

...

[timber ridge]

im not sure, ik kbd has a pcb but its solder. mechanicalkeyboards might have, i think i remember seeing one but i can be wrong

mightve been kprepublic

[queen sigil]

u said that like 3 months ago

[normal barn]

lol

but im serious now

im thinkging leopold or keycrhon

are holy pandas wort hit

[timber ridge]

thats something you kinda decide, but i think no tbh

there are a lot of cheaper alternatives

[normal barn]

like

[timber ridge]

t1s

bobas

[cunning hearth]

lance what are some of ur fav linears

[timber ridge]

i havent tried that many, but if i were going to build with linears i would go with either, gat yellows, ink blacks, jwk/durock linears

feel like im missing one but owell

[normal barn]

oh lol

should iget hte 6xx over the hd58x

[timber ridge]

youre gonna need ninja or dino to answer that

[normal barn]

since im gonna refund my razer headset

adn iwanna start anew

with new stuff

im think t669

for even elegato wave

if budget sufice

[cunning hearth]

t669 is a great mic

for the price

[normal barn]

ikr

its the godly combo

all in 1 package

[cunning hearth]

um i think 58x is very very similar to 6xx

[timber ridge]

if youre jus using the mic for comms, jus go fifine and use the saved cash on ur headphones

[cunning hearth]

for like $40 less

[cunning hearth]

hmm im just gonna try some milky yellows

[timber ridge]

gateron cap switches are really good apparently

theyre basically updated gat yellows with improved housing

[queen sigil]

i just saw

that they had like no wobble

but i just got them because they were really cheap

[timber ridge]

yea, theyre p insane for the price

theyre pretty good stock too

[queen sigil]

8$ for 35 is like

really good

[timber ridge]

it was really tempting

[cunning hearth]

gat caps?

never heard of those

might try them

[timber ridge]

theyre p new

they jus released right b4 BFCM

[cunning hearth]

$16 for my whole keeb

bit cheaper than milkys actually

[timber ridge]

idk if the sale is still on

if it isnt then i think itll still be like under 25 bucks for 70 switches

kinda regret spending so much on my linears, but ig its the price i pay for going for a specific theme

[sly warren]

You spent money on linears?

[timber ridge]

5.50 for 10

nvm it was 6.50

even worse

[swift lantern]

Well dino has 58x and I will soon have 6xx

How shall we compare them

[sly warren]

Jesus, 6 dollars per 10 switches? They ought to type automatically what you are thinking.

[tight pulsar]

lol

[swift lantern]

Try to play the most trebble heavy and bass heavy tracks and see how sibilant each is?

[timber ridge]

i could of jus gone with gateron cap switches

but nooo, i wanted to do a unit 01 theme

[tight pulsar]

should of gotten ktt red wine or ks3 gats off taobao :v

1.5 and 1.8 per 10 switches

[timber ridge]

really wanted the purle/black/green color scheme

even tho you dont see the switches

if kat cyberspace didnt exist, i wouldnt have done it

[swift lantern]

Shuoer is not good at aesthetics

[queen sigil]

i would buy like all my switched on tao bao

if i knew how it worked

[tight pulsar]

its not hard just have somebody proxy it lol

[timber ridge]

too much work for a peasant like me

if i could, i would jus order everything off of amazon

[tight pulsar]

i would of ordered some stuff but the dude i use for a proxy is helping his family move like halfway across the country

[sage kestrel]

anyone else using the G7? if so how you likeing it?

[devout fiber]

anyone know what size keyboard this is? I returned my old one that I bought for $35 cause it had some issues but now its $50 and im not paying that much more.

[tight pulsar]

75%

[normal barn]

58x or 6xx for gaming

[timber ridge]

rk makes good budget boards

[devout fiber]

related question: anyone know of any white 75% rgb red switch keyboards under like $50

[tight pulsar]

yeah

:P

[normal barn]

hese on drop and on youtube sad

[devout fiber]

i guess its the only option I have

[left tartan]

Anyone knows what is the name of the device that controls only rgb lights? I already got a converter that powers up the light. But the search keeps giving me the controller that powers up the fans instead of controlling the fan. Thanks

Would a simple own fan splitter adapter cable work?

Pwm*

[normal barn]

oh lol wat

[gloomy berry]

ARGB or RGB header

Need one on the motherboard if you want to control the lights

Or one of these that you have to manually change it using the buttons on the controller

https://www.amazon.com/EZDIY-FAB-Converter-Transfer-Splitter-Motherboard/dp/B082KJH2T3

[left tartan]

Thanks!

This is giving me headaches. Fans are having different colors

[sturdy sinew]

what is better? at2035 or the rode nt1 for just overall use

[queen sigil]

like

royal kludge

only think i know of

[devout fiber]

thats 60% not 75

[last plinth]

red dragon

[tacit wing]

58x are as detailed as the 598, which is worse. you have the better cans

[queen sigil]

then look at the 75% model

[cunning hearth]

hey dino i have a question: x2hr or he-4xx?

[brisk parcel]

@amber oracle somebody givin you some luv ❤️❤️^^^

[amber oracle]

that sounds messy and it probably also smells

so i am going to skip that

:P

[timber ridge]

naed, cook up anything fancy recently ?

[amber oracle]

nope

been jumping around working, so all my plans for cooking have gone out the window

[timber ridge]

unfortunate

[amber oracle]

and it looks like my pizza oven wont arrive until february... so yeah

[tight pulsar]

since when did u buy a pizza oven

[timber ridge]

ooo, what pizza oven did you pick up ?

[amber oracle]

https://eu.ooni.com/products/ooni-koda

that

a while back Nachos

[timber ridge]

that looks super nice

[amber oracle]

i was trying to persuade myself that i didnt have a need for it

[tight pulsar]

oo thats looks cool

[amber oracle]

but then i got a 10% off voucher ... and yeah :)

[timber ridge]

it has a minimalistic/modern look to it

[amber oracle]

aye, it has to be a size where i can actually move it without breaking my back

and also actually have space to store it ofc

because, i live in an apartment

[tight pulsar]

where you put a pizza oven in the kitchen?

[amber oracle]

so i have to carry it downstairs to the garden out back

[timber ridge]

a heavy wood fire pizza oven came to mind when you mentioned it

[amber oracle]

nah, gas use is forbidden in this block

aye Lance

[little crater]

ill bet that makes some fantastic pizza

[amber oracle]

IF i lived in a house, i would have build a oven years ago

its fairly trivial to do

just takes a lot of labour

[timber ridge]

i remember seeing an indoor build and thought it was p insane

lemme see if i can find it

[amber oracle]

and another positive for something like the Koda is i can take it with me when i go on gigs etc

[tight pulsar]

yoo mobile pizza machine

[daring zenith]

@sly warren alright I did some very quick rudimentary testing, there is definitely more delay, I can show the videos, but I'm gonna go and try and game with BT and see if I can really feel the delay in games

[timber ridge]

is the oven you ordered on back order?

[amber oracle]

so yeah, it doubles as both a pizza oven, but also as a "regular" oven that can get VERY hot

[sly warren]

Yeah, if you can feel the delay, then it's a no-go but I might buy one for Wired use since the connector should be fine (since it isn't in a recessed hole)

[amber oracle]

aye, because i missed the verification email, got eaten by my spam bot :)

[daring zenith]

BT, 1/8 speed

[timber ridge]

rip

[tight pulsar]

why it sound like a hammer

[daring zenith]

Wired, 1/8 speed

[tacit wing]

if u have amp go with the planars, if not go Phillips

[buoyant patrol]

What do you guys think of ips vs tn panel for fps gamin?

Im planning to get this monitor https://www.asus.com/us/Monitors/TUF-GAMING-VG259QM/

[daring zenith]

The extra delay seems small, but I'm gonna see if I can feel it in siege

Siege is a fast enough game for me personally so I should be able to tell if it's delayed

[timber ridge]

i personally woudlnt get anything that isnt ips

[tacit wing]

ips are just as fast as tn nowadays, however tn anti-ghosting and the least artifacts is still superior on tn

[timber ridge]

unless its oled

[buoyant patrol]

I currently have the acer predator xb252q

[tacit wing]

i have an xb3 pog

[buoyant patrol]

250hz tn panel and want to change to ips panel

How about the input lag?

[tacit wing]

you will see no improvement besides the colors and viewing angles

[buoyant patrol]

How come?

[tacit wing]

because its IPS lol

thats how innately IPS is

[buoyant patrol]

Should it have a better color

[tacit wing]

....thats what i said

[buoyant patrol]

How about the input lag

[tacit wing]

bro did u even read what i wrote

[timber ridge]

so will it have better colors

[tacit wing]

yes color rainbow like RGB keyboard 🌈

make u turn pro valorant bc better color spot enemy better dark corner

[timber ridge]

i wonder when micro led and oled will make its way to gamers

[buoyant patrol]

So should i buy it? Sorry

[tacit wing]

depends whether or not better colors and viewing angles is worth it for you or not

[buoyant patrol]

Because I’m also in a hunt for the 2nd monitor was trying to get like 144hz but the price difference is close so just trying to get the 240hz one

[timber ridge]

do you need 240hz

[daring zenith]

@sly warren actually the delay is really minimal now I'm using it, I can't tell a difference even in game rn

[abstract shard]

thats a long finger

[sly warren]

Interesting.

[daring zenith]

bt atm

[timber ridge]

my local bestbuy restocked on oculus quest 2s

im tempted

[sly warren]

Ok, might solidify my purchase of a K2 hotswap then.

[daring zenith]

Siege being more focused on aim than movement in lower ranks might be a thing

I'll update you @sly warren later today, I'll keep using BT throughout today

[sly warren]

Got it.

[tacit wing]

2.4ghz just as fast as wired ever since Logitech's Lightspeed

[abstract shard]

lightspeed gang

[daring zenith]

Know any games that really relies on keypress timing?

[tacit wing]

ever since LS dropped everyone went back to the drawing board and improved their stuff

[sly warren]

Uhh, OSU?

[abstract shard]

^

[daring zenith]

not osu

I suck at osu

[sly warren]

Hmmmm...

[tacit wing]

osumania

[abstract shard]

i dont even know what osu is

[sly warren]

Do you know what Beat Saber is?

[tacit wing]

geometry dash

[abstract shard]

the most that ive gathered is that its kinda like guitar hero and beat saber

[buoyant patrol]

Do you have the Asus Tuf VG259qm?

[abstract shard]

but with keys

[sly warren]

Well, OSU is a mouse base rhythm game, so it's a bit different from most.

You could also possibly try an RTS game Mr1111.

[daring zenith]

nah I'm talking to skiptrace about my keychron K8

hm maybe

I'm no good at actual rts games and I don't really use keeb shortcuts

I do a lot of hoi4 tho

[tacit wing]

most ppl use a tablet and use Z and X keys

im the minority who plays with mouse

[sly warren]

I also play with mouse.

[daring zenith]

god typing on my laptop messes up my typing on the actual keyboard

[sly warren]

lol

[daring zenith]

I'm mashing keys together because of the spacing on the laptop keeb

[abstract shard]

laptop keyboards do be weird doe

[tacit wing]

Skip you play with mouse buttons on OSU?

[daring zenith]

I'm just gonna use bluetooth and use this keeb for laptop too

[tacit wing]

lol wtf

[sly warren]

I play Full Mouse on OSU

[daring zenith]

hm

I might have lol still

[buoyant patrol]

Can i direct msg you?

[daring zenith]

league is more button based

[sly warren]

DOTA 2 might also work

[daring zenith]

don't have dota

[sly warren]

Good MOBA, it just takes more brain power than LoL or Smite

[daring zenith]

fair

I don't play mobas like at all, it's when I have friends that play

[tacit wing]

just play like a 4 star map on osu how hard is that

[daring zenith]

I can't do anything above a 1 star osu map iirc

[tacit wing]

just dont play like Ascencion to Heaven or something lol

do like the tutorial beatmap

[sly warren]

I can do... i think 3 and some 4 star maps.

[tacit wing]

also dont even worry about Keychron's latency

[sly warren]

?

[daring zenith]

lemme just

show you how bad I'm at osu

where even is the tutorial map

[tacit wing]

if it doesnt affect you in game without worrying about it, theres no problem ultimately

its just as good as the g915

[daring zenith]

help I can't find the tutorial osu map

[buoyant patrol]

Can you guys recommend ips monitor that is 240hz for gaming?

[sly warren]

Why do you want 240hz?

Are you a professional gamer?

[tacit wing]

also slomo camera on your phone to measure latency is terrible testing methodology

[daring zenith]

yea ik

[tight pulsar]

bro just play a random map mr1

[daring zenith]

I have no testing equipment to test with

okay

[buoyant patrol]

Because i want to pair it with my 3080

And 240 makes huge difference on fps gaming

[tacit wing]

naw its because simply having the sight of no wire just plants pre-judgement in your brain that there will be latency somehow, when there really isnt

[timber ridge]

esports titles?

[tacit wing]

unless there is interference its gonna mess with it, 2.4ghz is just as good wired

[timber ridge]

u playing esports titles ?

[buoyant patrol]

I dontt

[tacit wing]

[timber ridge]

what fps games ?

[normal barn]

waht are rts

[buoyant patrol]

Cs go, Valorant

[normal barn]

again

i forgot

oh lol

i quit valorant

[timber ridge]

those are esports titles, you dont need a 3080 for that

[normal barn]

i got early access to it back in april

[buoyant patrol]

I will play other games too

[normal barn]

but i quited

im playing leauge fortnite hades

and single player games rn

oh im also taking up doom eternal and quake

[timber ridge]

i would recommend a 144hz 1440p monitor over a 240hz

[sly warren]

Yeah, 144hz 1440p > 240hz 1080p

[buoyant patrol]

1440p usually 27inch?

[daring zenith]

oh well

[timber ridge]

yup

[queen sigil]

also

[sly warren]

The visual quality bump will be better than the ever so slightly better refresh rate.

[queen sigil]

unless ur top 0.1%

[daring zenith]

Keychron is nice, either way, I like the keeb

[queen sigil]

144-240 doest make a difference

[tacit wing]

if youre silver dont get 240

if youre just as good as me get 240

[timber ridge]

same with plat

[queen sigil]

unless ur like

top rank

dont get ir

it

[timber ridge]

and youre only gonna be getting 240fps on esports titles

[normal barn]

@buoyant patrol do u have a budget

[tacit wing]

lets move this to #old-monitors-and-tv

[normal barn]

WHAT RANK R UUU

[tacit wing]

pls

hardstuck diamond 3 and i quit

[normal barn]

LMAO

[tacit wing]

i dont hate myself enough to play League

Leo i think that was cntrl

LMAO

[queen sigil]

o

whoever clipped it they were bottem fragging in plat

[tacit wing]

silvers calling hacks on anyone that has decent crosshair placement

u see it all the time

[queen sigil]

im not that good

im like mid plat

but i know how to play the game

since i watch my brother

[tacit wing]

im not good enough to be immortal and i ran crying back to csgo

[queen sigil]

my brother got immortal for 1 game and got demoted

[tacit wing]

the same would happen to me if i ever got out of hardstuck D3

[queen sigil]

but his esports team is all radiant

at least he was good at overwatch

[abstract shard]

dafuq what game dis

sounded like seige until you got to this immortal stuff

[queen sigil]

[timber ridge]

debating if i should invest in a oculus over an amp rn

[west hornet]

facebook scary

i was going to but now i will probably wait long time for competitor

[queen sigil]

the zucc

[timber ridge]

whats wrong with fb

[west hornet]

oh actually i am just reading rn that the US and German government are suing facebook and oculus lol

[swift lantern]

@tacit wing did you order foam tips yet

[tacit wing]

why is the quest so popular when u need an FB account to use it

thats so counterintuitive

[small nimbus]

I deleted Facebook during my 2nd year of finals at uni and never looked back

[tacit wing]

@swift lantern no

not in the market for VR anytime soon but if i were id get a Cosmos or something

[glass bear]

hows the viper mini

on sale rn and i wanna get it for my frnds birthday

[tacit wing]

@glass bear one of the best value mouse in the market. you get ptfe feet and a decent paracord for 40 bucks

although there are better shapes for claw and palm

[glass bear]

ye i see it at amazon and bb for 29 rn

figured id cop it

[tacit wing]

if you fingertip and u have hands 18cm and below in length, thats mouse endgame

[glass bear]

its for my friend so im not of that

im currently using a rival 3

[tacit wing]

Razer is selling an S tier mouse for 40 dollars

[glass bear]

yeah its so damn light

[timber ridge]

viper mini best budget mouse

if it fits ur hand/grip type

[glass bear]

rival 3 is decent for a budget too

its a bit bigger then the viper mini

honestly i might like replace my rival 3 with the viper lol

[timber ridge]

viper mini is like pure tryhard mouse tho

i use my g502 for casual use, but once i hop on a game i switch

[tacit wing]

Rival has more of an ass that more suitable for claw

it will feel foreign transitioning to the Viper

[glass bear]

lmfao

yeah true

although before my rival 3 i used a tiny logitech

[west hornet]

i switched from g602 to viper

[sly warren]

I switched from G403 to Viper to Deathadder V2, back to Viper.

My next mouse will be a Model O Wireless though.

[gloomy berry]

G502SE

Love this thing

[tacit wing]

FK shape is a very safe silhouette

alot of hands conform to it

[normal barn]

i didn say hack cntrl was arguing with u about it???

[queen sigil]

yes

someone else said that

[normal barn]

lol

[normal barn]

i used a m317 insane tiny mouse

before going to g502 ls

ls=lightspeed

really smol

used to finertip with htis

and go so many wins in fornite

now i use a g50

502

and i think my skills have faded

in fortnie

[tacit wing]

FORTNITE

https://tenor.com/view/floss-season4-fortnite-dance-cool-swag-gif-12667700

[glass bear]

I was looking at the g502 hero

But it's waay too heavy for my liking

[tacit wing]

its a brick

[normal barn]

Ehh

@tacit wing looking back

I was always a finger tip

Grip

With my insane ly small

Office mouse

And I was like insane at fortnite

yeah

looking back

its either me not playing fornite for long

might even get eh g pro superlight

since i got the g502 for 150

lmao

100+

yeah

i just took my old mouse out

it really makes my game play better4

[normal barn]

woah

[sly warren]

Wtf? Monster Hunter World is on Epic Games?

[normal barn]

Good haul this year

[keen lagoon]

any of those games a good benchmark

[normal barn]

Lat year sucked

Last

[sly warren]

What do you mean by Benchmark?

[normal barn]

They gave superhot

Celeste

[keen lagoon]

I want to compare my new and old systems

[normal barn]

Into the breach

[sly warren]

Celeste is a good game.

[normal barn]

I mean

Most of it was bad

Celeste was good

Personally

I'm excited for borderlands 3

I like 2

And one

[keen lagoon]

so anything good for benchmarks

[sly warren]

So, either that thing is a lie, or Monster Hunter World is not yet on Epic Games.

[normal barn]

@sly warren ...

[keen lagoon]

!rank

[neon quartz]

Nathan LaFlamme, that command is disabled in this channel.

[normal barn]

They won't release it until then

They'll show it on that fay

Day*

[sly warren]

No

[normal barn]

And even if it is

[sly warren]

Like, the game straight up doesn't EXIST on the EGS

It'll say unavailable

[sly warren]

🤦

You don't get what I am saying

[normal barn]

It's either not there

Or siads unavailable

[sly warren]

Ok, that list is forking bogus mate.

Dying Light isn't on the EGS

Nor is Mass Effect Andromeda

[keen lagoon]

I have ghost recon windlands. Breakpoint any good?

[sly warren]

The Ghost Recon series I hear is meh at best.

[keen lagoon]

I really like wildlands

Depends of if you like an all storymode game

You'll probably like Breakpoint then.

the cat ear krakens doesnt

[swift lantern]

Oh right so

How do I go about adding cat ears to my headphones

[tacit wing]

just search cat ear attachment on Amazon

but no rgb

[small nimbus]

I decided to not use them

i really tried to but even after fixing the static and trying like many different eq setups for it

I couldn't get over the quality of the sound so I decided I'll only use the kraken when I need a mic or when im streaming

I didn't realize how used I was to the weight and sound of the qc35s. I've been wearing them literally daily since they were released, and before that I was wearing qc15s daily for years

the kraken is so heavy and it doesn't even fit nicely the ear pads are meant for like elephant ears and it sounds so trash compared to qc35

only thing its better at is mic. I even have a stand alone snowball mice but it started having issue so I wanted headset mic

[west hornet]

kraken earpads fit weird, for me there was a gap underneath my ear so they were crooked

[small nimbus]

for my theyre just way too wide and it hurts my ears from the weight, qc35s are like carbon fiber compared to kraken

[tacit wing]

Aev, RMA the Krakens and get Clouds or MH752 instead

and get attachment cat ears

[west hornet]

rma lol

[normal barn]

Wats ur opinion on the hyperx planear headphones or headset

Its discounted rn

[west hornet]

waaat hyperx make planar

[normal barn]

Yes

@west hornet

[small nimbus]

@tacit wing maybe I dislike them the longer I use them

[tacit wing]

the krakens?

[small nimbus]

also naga finally is here but I've kinda lost desire to play wow waiting so long for naga

[tacit wing]

[west hornet]

strange

[small nimbus]

yea theyre trash

like they're good if you never had anything better before

but if you had smth better they feel bad

[normal barn]

@tacit wing looking at the stats

I have made a conclusion

[tacit wing]

[normal barn]

I like smol af mice

I fingertip really good

Or

[small nimbus]

I wanna vacuum and then I'll show new set up

[normal barn]

I lost my ankming skills

And it's bc g502 is too heavy

[tacit wing]

lets see it

[west hornet]

Ooo nice

[tacit wing]

there has been some slight changes since this pic

my neewer mic and UM2 is an eyesore

[normal barn]

@tacit wing wat that side panel thing for

Is it time

And what keen is that

Keeb*

[high fulcrum]

Holes

[small nimbus]

[high fulcrum]

I need to clean up my cables

🙄

[tacit wing]

NOOOO lets see it @small nimbus

[normal barn]

@tacit wing Ayo what that mic and stuff

[small nimbus]

[normal barn]

The stand boom arm

Gimme the links

[tacit wing]

[normal barn]

Oh ok

School stack

I presume

Schitt*

Modi magni?

[tacit wing]

i want to get a clamp arm so i can save alittle bit of space

[west hornet]

yes dino now get fancy mic setup

[tacit wing]

get a clamp lamp so i can have that bit of space

[west hornet]

blue compass arm for sleek look, sm7b or rode nt1 mic with focusrite or motu interface hehehehe

[tacit wing]

the footprint my current lamp is taking up is massive

[normal barn]

Is that 4xx or 35x

@tacit wing

[west hornet]

its 5xx lol

[normal barn]

And 40x audio technica?

Ohhh

I forgot dino got the 5xx

He was so hyped

[west hornet]

ye is that ath m40x or m50x?

[tacit wing]

honestly i wouldnt recommend anything from the right side of that pic anymore

[normal barn]

49

40"

[tacit wing]

m40x

[normal barn]

40*

[west hornet]

ahh nice

[normal barn]

So 5xx and pp

[tacit wing]

the way to differentiate 50x vs 40x is that the 50 has knubs on the hinges

[west hornet]

ow your right

[tacit wing]

i love the 5xx despite them being just wired Devas

Deva owners have nice sounding cans

and also with the 58x, i do believe the 6xx is alot more for little bit more

[normal barn]

@tacit wing I finally watched the 58x vs 6xx vid u sent me

58x = more warmth good for games

[west hornet]

cat ear headphones best for games

[normal barn]

6xx = more clarity and average gaming

[normal barn]

Lmao ikr

[tacit wing]

the 6xx is more neutral but neither of them tops one another when it comes to gaming

[normal barn]

Kraken kitty is worth the 159$ dollar price tag

[queen sigil]

hows that mic arm

[tacit wing]

you can game with anything

[normal barn]

Last I check

[west hornet]

i used to use brookstone ariana grande cat ear headphones back in my day from time to time

[tacit wing]

doodoo

[west hornet]

[queen sigil]

same

[tacit wing]

its the stock mic arm that comes with the Neewer

[west hornet]

the external springs make me nervous

[queen sigil]

this is what happens when you buy the cheapest mic arm on amazon

[tacit wing]

i dont use it anyway its whatever

[west hornet]

either end up spending cheapest or going massively over budget

[normal barn]

@tacit wing what mic. U got

[queen sigil]

just hang ur mic from the ceiling

simple

[normal barn]

Is it the t669 or sumthing

[west hornet]

i use my mic a decent bit and i am a bit traumatized from bad mics so i keep xlr setup, also because having asio interface very useful

[tacit wing]

going budget on the XLR is a mistake

[queen sigil]

usb mic gang

[tacit wing]

i do believe the bare minimum you have to atleast get a UMC22, anything below that just get a USB mic

[normal barn]

No shii sherlock

Xlr ain't for budgets

[queen sigil]

https://www.zenproaudio.com/neumann-ku-100?sku=

my type of mic

[west hornet]

budget xlr is hard, you can get like a um2 + xm8500 and it can be decent, but it can be finicky

[normal barn]

Usb good for budget

Xlr for high end and I need to get extra equipment

Like audio interfaces I think

[tacit wing]

XLR can be budget with UMC22

[queen sigil]

13 year old with audiophile equiptment and an XLR mic setup

[tacit wing]

it just depends on what you define budget

[queen sigil]

[west hornet]

umc22 a bit step up

my budget xlr: 100000usd

[normal barn]

Uhhh

[queen sigil]

only times I use XLR is when im at a recording studios

[normal barn]

I got a razer headset

A 60$ one

Thats my endgame

[west hornet]

mmm concerts, studios, filming events, etc

xlr most reliable

[queen sigil]

oh yeah and concerts

USB mic concert setup 😎

[tacit wing]

Ghosty are you a mic power user?

[west hornet]

LOL

[tacit wing]

[queen sigil]

RGB gaming PC in the middle of the room

[west hornet]

[queen sigil]

[west hornet]

[queen sigil]

i have a 50$ fifine to do keyboard sound tests and to yell at idots on discord

and for like band recording stuff

[tacit wing]

i wouldve upgraded my mic setup a long time ago but i stopped playing valorant and the only thing i use my mic for is comms so that didnt go through

[queen sigil]

bruh

[west hornet]

i might be interested in looking into audio engineering but its not the best paying and very narrow field so i really have to think about it

[tacit wing]

God those Airpods Max looks like Meze-level quality control

[west hornet]

the design looks funny but i think people will get used to it

maybe stare at it less than me with my portas

i think it is just stupid that it don't have a headphone jack, don't have a power button and that case

one of the things that partially sold me on my motu m2 interface was taht it had power button

[tacit wing]

i knew the ANC was going to be good

sounds V-shaped from what hes describing

9 microphones Jesus

ok that case is soooo counter-intuitive wtf were they thinking

[west hornet]

one of the worst case i ever seen

[swift lantern]

[zealous nacelle]

So like are earbuds better than headphones?

[zealous nacelle]

also i ordered a wiresless matte white 3 weeks ago hasnt even shipped

[daring zenith]

@zealous nacelle ordered mine nov 29th

[zealous nacelle]

bruh moment

should hopefully ship 2 days from now then

think i ordered it dec 1

[daring zenith]

but white also might have more demand and less stock

[zealous nacelle]

Bc no one fkn makes white mice lmao

I regret not upgrading the shipping

[tight pulsar]

waiting is half the fun

[zealous nacelle]

nah i dont like waiting unless ive been told ima wait a long time

[tight pulsar]

except when the package is going to somebody 50 miles away and its been 7 days and it STILL hasnt moved cmon usps

[zealous nacelle]

EXACTLY

usps is so dooky sometimes

and their tracking is so delayed lmao

[small nimbus]

@tacit wing naga feels so weird its like im floating

[queen sigil]

i buy keycaps for the 1 year wait, not for the feel, quality, looks, profile, etc

[zealous nacelle]

Are u serious?

why?

i buy smthn for a purpose yall nutty

[queen sigil]

[west hornet]

Earbuds can be a bit more expensive

But iem vs headphone is preference

[swift lantern]

yeah preference

if you want your bass to absolutely kick your ass: headphone every time

[zealous nacelle]

okay makes sense

[tacit wing]

ok ive own many mice and none of them felt that euphoric

aev setup pic

[small nimbus]

[small nimbus]

im sad i didn't get qc35 in pink

[tacit wing]

return kraken and put cat ears on qc35

[small nimbus]

it comes in pink but when i bought it i was too much of a zoomer and insta bought it even though i was travelling in europe when it came out, i went to some random micro center

i might return idk i'll keep it for a few weeks see what happens

[tacit wing]

white peripherals will still color block with your setup well

doesnt have to be pink

[small nimbus]

yea next pc is going to be white build

easier to make everything look pink that way w/ rgb

[tacit wing]

how do you like the dock?

[timber ridge]

monitor arm would transform that setup

[tacit wing]

my ultimate didnt come with the dock

[zealous nacelle]

ur set up is so clean lmao

mine doesnt have 1 similar branded item

[tacit wing]

Aev get some plants it will transform any setup

[zealous nacelle]

also i highly recommend monitor arms

they TRANSFORM the look

[queen sigil]

[small nimbus]

yea plants would be pog i need the humidity

[zealous nacelle]

i mean theyre not difficult to take down but i get ya

[queen sigil]

I type as a think especially for lists

actually usually only for lists

[small nimbus]

although it has some sort of semi adhesive lining on the bottom which makes the dock a bit yikes but its fine i guess doesn't leave any residue

[timber ridge]

i went to bestbuy today to pickup some gifts for family members and i almost impulsively bought expensive gamer stuff

viper ultimate v tempting while its on sale

[queen sigil]

bestbuy "sales"

are so BS

they like sell stuff at MSRP and call it a sale

[tacit wing]

oh no i dont recommend RVU anymore unless its the Mercury, the MOW is the better value

[timber ridge]

and they have the oculus quest 2/rift s in stock

[tacit wing]

the black RVU has the first version of Razer's optical switches which lacks tactility

[timber ridge]

my gf been talking about vr for so long now, shes getting to me

[zealous nacelle]

the quest 2 is very nice

[tacit wing]

they did shadow revisions on the Mercury Ultimate switches, which are less mushy

[timber ridge]

also saw steelseries new mouse

[zealous nacelle]

for 300

[timber ridge]

rift s is 300 rn too

[zealous nacelle]
