i think\
sly warren
Yeah, the original intent was to use them for Mice
Originally Apple had a thing called ADB. And it was used for Keyboards and Mice.
sly warren
Basically their keyboard had 2 ADB ports and you would plug the Keyboard into the PC on one port and the Mouse into the 2nd port
It was downright genius for the time.
stoic solar
It was downright genius for the time.
this is basically everything apple does
masters of execution

I think you mean what apple used to do.
sly warren
Nah, not anymore. Apple is still behind the curve.

sly warren
Apple used to BE the Curve
west hornet
but the arm move was interesting
stoic solar
true
sly warren
Now they are behind it.
stoic solar
i think next gen of arm is gonna be them catching up
apple is taking the better approach imo
letting others get into the weird stuff
then making it good
like that arm surface?
wtf was that

That was a one-off attempt

if you have a liquid aio, it wouldnt hurt to build everything without the cpu

depending on mounting system it might be fine
sometimes installing the cooler can be the hardest part

i mean its noctua so id assume its a good mounting system

cant you fit a 120mm aio in the case u picked?

i actually almost got the same case a while back but didnt wanna deal with cable management in it
queen sigil
but then techies yelled at me "dOn'T gEt 120 mM aIo, Bad PrEfOrManCe anD vaLuE
so i listened to them and got a noctua one
i think cable managing is really easy for this case
at least i was told

if i do a rebuild there is like 3 cases that have my attention rn
nr200, p500 rgb, o11 mini
queen sigil
yeah you can either run the cables up like this

i hate the reg o11 but the mini is cool

ok so u want a TKL keyboard for 100$?
golden plume
for now yeah
queen sigil
alr
I always recommend keychron since i've seen that they have good quality and nice upgradablility
For what you're looking for i'd recommend the K2 hot swap, K8, C1,and C2
I've tried a K2 and Mr1111 (a techie) has tried a K8 and i think we've both enjoyed the product we got
Keep in mind they do have like a 20$ shipping fee
queen sigil
Then I don't know about the shipping fee
i'd check if you can check how much shipping will cost
golden plume
they do sell some keychron but i will have to go there
yeah shipping will be no problem
queen sigil
May I ask where you live?
I've never heard of anybody with keychron in stock at stores
golden plume
sweden
queen sigil
Oh neat
There is a 15% discount on most products online
But i'd assume you can figure something out with where you live
golden plume
from the list you gave me I'm looking at k8 wireless and k8 hotswap
should i take the hotswap or not?
queen sigil
Check out the C1
golden plume
they are wireless at well
queen sigil
If you aren't going to get RGB its alot cheaper
They are wireless and USB-C
Bluetooth
golden plume
nah im not going rgb
queen sigil
And if you are plannign to upgrade your keyboard in the future i stongly recommend a hotswap keyboard
astral verge
I need help
golden plume
is gatreon brown a good choice?
queen sigil
Also the aluminum frame is kinda like additional bezels that you add to the sides of a plastic case, adding weight
queen sigil
@golden plume It's not a terrible choice but for the price it's basically the only option before going into more premium switches
queen sigil
I got a new HDD. What should I know before installing it
Try asking in either #general-chat or #storage-devices
but i mean idk what you mean by that question
golden plume
unfortunately they rarely discount this type of product
most of mechanical keyboards are rgb
and all of the keychron i could find is wireless
which is neat as well
queen sigil
Also if you're looking at the K8 I'd recommend considering the K2
It's a 75% keyboard which is basically a more compact tenkeyless keyboard
golden plume
those i will have to wait until after new year
queen sigil
wdym
queen sigil
For what keyboard?
golden plume
i heard that there is abs and pbt keycaps or something right
queen sigil
The keycaps are ABS but they are good quality
they aren't too thick but in my opinion they have a really nice texture
alr but I gtg
in general keychrons come with lubed and clipped stabs which greatly improve the sound of the space bar, backspace etc
good quality cheap keyboard
golden plume
ok thanks for your help
i will take a look at this
btw one last question, what about those gaming brand like corsair, steelseries, hyperx, logi etc

hkgaming
sly warren
A new keyboard, that's what keycaps are compatible.
Because you bought a shite keyboard.
(Seriously, all the keyboards from major companies like Corsair, Razer, and Logitech deserve to be thrown in the bin)
granite furnace
yes, that's super helpful. no explanation for your stance and no consideration for their application or preferences
granite furnace
I want to get custom keycaps for my corsair k100 OPX what keycaps are compatible...
the optical switches appear to have MX-style stems (the plus-sign shaped stem you see when you remove your keycaps). any MX-style keycaps will work. the K100 OPX is a standard ANSI 104-key layout, plus the left hand column
granite furnace
np. just know that you'll likely have to use miscellaneous keys for the macro column on the left.
or keep the existing keycaps there
tight pulsar
uh deskmats imo basically buy whichever looks the nicest unless you want a more gaming focused mousepad
novelkeys, kono, tkc, dixiemech all use 3 or 4mm thick ones and they feel nice and thick, look at the thickness on the product page
sly warren
It isn't my opinion that Corsair/Razer/Logitech boards deserve the bin. Literally ask any mechanical keyboard person that is worth their salt, and they will say the exact same thing.
strange ridge
But the average consumer doesn't always know board people and just go with what they see more often advertised
granite furnace
all you can say is that those boards don't meet your requirements, but they are sufficient for plenty of people
daring zenith
It's just overpriced for what they are, and there are better options at the price or for even less
granite furnace
definitely. but there are better ways to go about trying to educate a newcomer
daring zenith
One point they do get is the dedicated macro keys (Corsair wise)
But that could be achieved in other ways

is koss not a good brand? or are they known for good price/quality

They are known for blazing good sound in cheap plastic from the 80's
They make the venerable Porta Pros
Which look like the headphones your mom wore in the 80's while listening to her Walkman 8 track player.

lmao yeah i see that
sly warren
But they sound great from what everyone says
The Porta Pros are a warm leaning neutral sound.
While the UR40s are closer to true neutral.
sly warren
Looks like those are a really bright headphone.
little crater
how can you tell?
sly warren
They have a lot of lean towards the highs, so you end up with a lot of treble
Finding reviews.
little crater
ahh
sly warren
Yeah these are SUPER bright. Aggressive high end, would not recommend.

yo some of these vintage koss headphones look cool

They have been selling the Porta Pros for FOREVER

some koss products are very good for the money
sly warren
Porta Pros, KPH30i's, UR40's
Those are the primary ones that are great for their money.
And they can be driven by basically nothing.
Oh, and they have a lifetime warranty
So, if the cheap plastics break or something, you can just get a replacement.
west hornet
ye i noticed that, i wonder what the limitations are with the warranty, don't normally see aa cheap product with lifetime warrantys

Basically it's "If the thing legit failed from normal use" then you can get a new one.
Not "Oh I ran it over with me mum's car and I want a new one because it broke from running it over"

I was debating on getting some porta pros if I liked the UR40's
definitely not your preference since u like flat headphones but for 20 dollars, PP's go beyond what 20 dollar headphones sound like
sly warren
Well, I say I like "flat"
tacit wing
o wait they were 20 dollars on BF not anymore tho
sly warren
But, apparently the M50X's are not flat
According to the majority of audiophiles on the /r/ipods discord
Which recommended basically all the Koss products for cheap "flat" sound
Or more accurately cheap "reference" sound

PP's are not flat 
west hornet
i still didn't get a chance to thoroughly listen to them yet but i think the kph30i is more flat than the portas from what i hear people saying
tacit wing
ghosty u have both of them
sly warren
Man, if the White and Blue KPH30i's were pure white, i'd have just bought KPH30i's
west hornet
i know i just didn't get to listent o them for more than 10mins yet xD
sly warren
Well, tell me how the KPH30i's sound if you get a chance to listen to them for an extended period of time.

strange ridge
this is funny the mouse is 2 dollars less than with the dock
pooey and now its sold out on bestbuy
strange ridge
isnt the lightspeed the lightest
queen sigil
thats what I thought
daring zenith
Listed stats wise, VU is 74g, MOW 69g, G pro x superlight 63g
strange ridge
oh superlight my bad
queen sigil
arethe decreasing the prise of thw GPW for the release of the superlight
strange ridge
i just sold a mouse i had on hand so i was looking at what i wanna buy to replace my pos mouse that is double clicking
queen sigil
or is the superlight just going to cost more
strange ridge
i think my only complaint with the mow is is that its ambidextrous but only has the buttons on one side
daring zenith
yea
@queen sigil listed gpw price is 130$ now, down from 150, and superlight is 150
queen sigil
if I was buying a new wireless mouse I would def go for a GPW superlight
like 20$ for 20g
daring zenith
m o w
queen sigil
i dolt like hole
queen sigil
wait is gpw palm grip
strange ridge
you can buy grips for 10 bucks to cover hole
queen sigil
i am palm grip
daring zenith
right click double clicking is so bloody annoying for siege
because I'm tryna ADS
and then it just un-ADSes
strange ridge
yo that sounds painful
little crater
mine used to do more than double click lmao
daring zenith
it's very painful
strange ridge
why does glorious not have tape for the mow
strange ridge
mines quad clicked
daring zenith
because it double clicks
strange ridge
but that was the most
daring zenith
@little crater no solder
little crater
rip
daring zenith
big rip
strange ridge
if i only knew how and had the equipment
sly warren
The MOW is literally the same shell as the Model O, therefore it doesn't need it's own grip tape.
sly warren
Model O tape is Sold Out
strange ridge
yee the tape was my idea on how to reason getting the mow and not deal with the holes
sly warren
you don't "deal with" the holes
They just exist.
They aren't going to bite you.
And you aren't going to get a pattern put on your palm
sly warren
You aren't a fan of what about the holes?
daring zenith
It doesn't affect using the mouse in any way for me
strange ridge
preference is a thing
daring zenith
Your hand is going to be on it
strange ridge
am i not allowed to have an opinion
sly warren
Preference is stupid.
Objectivity is king
Objectively, for it's price and features the Model O wireless is one of, if not the best mouse on the market.
strange ridge
btw i was planning to add tape to anything i get
stoic solar
imagine not liking the look of something that is covered by your hand 99% of the time
stoic solar
<@!730975292755279933> I mean, do you want to have a bright yellow keeb >:D
the dream
sly warren
lili hit the nail on the head.
stoic solar
if it works idc what it looks like
sly warren
If your hand is on it for a large majority of the time while using it, why TF do you care about what it looks like?
That's why RGB on Gaming Headsets is forking redacted.
stoic solar
sly warren
You can't even see it!
strange ridge
why does it matter why i care, its not like im saying the mouse is bad im just fixing a problem i personally have with it
sly warren
You are also reducing one of the features it comes with.
The ability to air out your palm
One of the most sweaty bits your hand has when holding a mouse.
daring zenith
I actually like how my hand being sweaty doesn't make the mouse sweaty
swift lantern
Is there something by the same company that's a step above 95x
daring zenith
@swift lantern why not 6xx :P
vernal plinth
I am putting together an office PC build and wanted a mech keyboard without RGB, is the Rosewill RK-9000V2 good?
daring zenith
why not get smth like K E Y C H R O N and just turn the rgb off
sly warren
Just buy a Keychron and turn the RGB off
daring zenith
ya
sly warren
Or the white light
daring zenith
you can turn off white light too
sly warren
Yeah.
Keychrons are a great beginner board.
And even just a great value board.
I'll be getting an RGB K2 Hotswap and put Glorious Pandas in it.
After I get my Model O Wireless
daring zenith
Ez to turn on off rgb
sly warren
Are you using a Pixel 1 XL as your phone?
daring zenith
pixel 4
sly warren
Oh
Weird.
I thought that first part of the filename was going to be denoting the phone used.
daring zenith
they save all videos/images as like a .PXL file
sly warren
I saw PXL and my mind went "Pixel 1 XL"
daring zenith
PXL just stands for pixel afaik
sly warren
Ah.
sly warren
Having Bluetooth on my laptop is really making me want to buy a Combo Wi-fi + BT PCIe card for my desktop
It's super nice using my Xbox One controller wirelessly.
And hot damn if I could just grab my keychron off my desk (when I get it) and swap it to my laptop? hoooo boy.
daring zenith
btw I think I can swap from Wired to desktop, change the switch to BT mode, and just connect to my laptop without unplugging
strange ridge
my mobo has wifi and bluetooth and im so happy i did it
vernal plinth
hmm. how about the Tecware Phantom RGB
sly warren
It's ok.
But, I'd get a Keychron instead.
Amazing keyboards at great prices and they work on a large variety of platforms
You can use one keyboard for literally all of your devices.
stoic solar
mechanicalkeyboards and kbdfans is also cool
sly warren
Those places are a tad expensive.
sly warren
Sod off, your ears are just bad.
stoic solar
expensive but good
sly warren
Just get ear replacements and the 6xx's will sound good 4head
swift lantern
Just ignore the terrible treble resolution, 5head
strange ridge
question about the modmic uni is it worth to buy their dongle adapter to usb from that company or is 3.5 mm jack better mind i dont have anything audio equipment
daring zenith
just get replacement ears 6head
queen sigil
link pls
swift lantern
I've seen videos of direct comparison, there is no real difference in quality line-in vs usb
If anything you could argue the line-in is more versatile
timber ridge
kuzu are you planning to replace the 6xx or are you jus chilling for now
daring zenith
@queen sigil onion
queen sigil
the onion?
queen sigil
ty
strange ridge
im watching a video and im not audio guy so maybe someone could take a look but it does sound cleaner with the sound card imo
sly warren
If you want a dongle to make it sound better, get an Apple USB-C Dongle.
strange ridge
sly warren
Well, to make most headphones sound better.
I would just get the Modmic Uni and plug it into your motherboard.
strange ridge
its the modmic you recommended
sly warren
Yes.
But, for Headphones, you'll want an Apple USB-C Dongle if you want your headphones to sound better.
The Mic doesn't really have any options for sounding better.
And the Uni is the better option between Uni and USB
strange ridge
yeah i was looking at the usb price and i was like hmm what merits that cost
sly warren
Nothing.
Nothing merits the cost.
They sound identical.
If not the USB sounding a little worse.
timber ridge
any reason youre not just gettin a standalone mic?
sly warren
I typically don't recommend standalone mics.
Though, I have thought about getting a Fifine USB mic just to try it out.
It's like, 30 bucks
strange ridge
aye i just watched a video with that brand mic
sly warren
I typically don't recommend a lot of products I haven't used before.
timber ridge
unless you wanna start doing podcast, the fifine mic will do
strange ridge
also lance i was just looking at things for when my headset bites the dust
sly warren
What headset is it?
strange ridge
arctis 5
sly warren
Oh, ouchies.
timber ridge
i would recommend a standalone mic so that you wont have to worry about picking specific headsets that are compatible with ur mod mic
sly warren
If you want to start your audiophile journey, I'd buy a pair of Koss UR40's and an Apple USB-C to 3.5mm adapter.
Great starting point
sly warren
Like, 9 bucks
timber ridge
ggs
sly warren
There's an identical one from another company that works properly on Android devices for 22 bucks.
So, I have to get that one...
timber ridge
meizu dongle op
sly warren
Yeah
The Meizu dongle is amazing.
It's literally a Black Apple Dongle that works on Androids properly.
strange ridge
i think yesterday you mentioned the sr850
sly warren
I changed my tune after learning about how good Koss products are.
strange ridge
im just glad i remembered that name right
timber ridge
koss is really good if youre willing to wear their gear lol
sly warren
SR850's aren't bad, but Koss gear is great
It only LOOKS like what ye mum wore when using her walkman in the 80's
timber ridge
cb1s are pretty nice budget cans
sly warren
The Koss Porta Pros are one of the best budget options for headphones out there.
And the UR40's are a great entrypoint for reference listening and headphones with a proper soundstage.
Oh, and they are light as a feather.
strange ridge
those looked like something i had as a kid
sly warren
But they definitely don't sound like children's percussion.
strange ridge
im curious though how would a headset not be compatible with the modmic?
sly warren
I wouldn't try using a Modmic on a pair of Porta Pros.
timber ridge
i was thinking of the vmoda mic
i think the mod mic works with pretty much all headsets
strange ridge
ahh
timber ridge
yup
sly warren
Yeah, Porta Pros are on-ear headphones. But they sound amazing for their cheap price.
timber ridge
for 60 bucks you can get a boom arm, pop filter and mic
strange ridge
it will probably come down to how the desk it looking then but its an option ill consider
west hornet
even though they are on ear i don't find them fatiguing, very light on the head
sly warren
And the UR40's are Over Ear headphones, and for their cheap price (I got mine for 33 bucks off Amazon) they apparently are great.
I'll have mine in on Wednesday to sound test.
strange ridge
i think once arctis go brrr ill definitely ask hear what headset to go with but mic is either modmic or thet fifine
timber ridge
a lot of gamers really like the sound signature of dt770s
since its super v shape, theyre used to it
small nimbus
for 60 bucks you can get a boom arm, pop filter and mic
I wanna get a set up like that but dunno where to start
timber ridge
i first got a budget boom arm and a fifine mic
sly warren
Honestly, I think ultra-v shape is terrible for gaming.
timber ridge
then i got gifted my quadcast and use it on the same boom arm
tight pulsar
no
sly warren
Whoa, you ok there buddy?
small nimbus
maybe I copy you and buy a mic arm and quadcast
strange ridge
double click sorry
sly warren
I would skip the quadcast.
timber ridge
you can do that
sly warren
It's not a great mic for the money.
timber ridge
the quadcast is super light so any budget boom arm can hold it
strange ridge
timber ridge
and you get streamer points for rgb
the only downside to the fifine mic imo, is there is no physical mute switch
strange ridge
volume 0
timber ridge
you could turn the gain knob all the way down and use that as a mute, but a separate mute button would be nice
strange ridge
ez
timber ridge
ye
timber ridge
they have an upgraded version with a mute switch
timber ridge
most def no
sly warren
Nope
timber ridge
if youre going usb route
sly warren
For the price of a Quadcast you could get an XLR setup
timber ridge
there is the wave, blue yeti x
small nimbus
welp im more lost now
