strange ridge
#

I need to do those just to learn how to type mechanical

#

I mess up left and right

hearty schooner
#

Anyone recommend a good mic under 70 dollars

queen sigil
#

fifine t669

west hornet
#

samson q2u

hearty schooner
#

@queen sigil I seen that one but was not sure how good it was

#

Fyi I will be using this for making videos streaming and for classes

strange ridge
#

@hearty schooner my friend streams sometimes and he has that mic and it sounds good

queen sigil
#

it sounds fine

#

better than headset mics

strange ridge
#

itll do itll do

west hornet
#

it sounds ok, just keep in mind with all mics really it's better to be just a few inches off of it. except perhaps a shotgun mic

#

Do you guys reccomend any cheap wireless gaming keyboards

daring zenith
#

keychron

#

not that cheap but good

elder current
#

And if the guy from the other night is here thank you for showing me that hdmi to vga thing

#

I need under 30$

daring zenith
#

might be some logitech wireless membrane keebs xD

sly warren
#

Welp. I have to wait to truly enjoy my Koss UR40's

#

My USB-C DAC I already have is super bad. Way too bass tuned.

#

And the cable is way too short on the UR40's so I need a 3.5mm extension cable.

#

That and I also need to re-do the little sticky thing for my Modmic.

#

Though, I am close to just saying screw the modmic and get a Fifine mic until I can afford a Shure or something.

tight pulsar
#

sound kinda nut but feel way too tactile

daring zenith
#

TOO TACTILE? NOT POSSIBLE

tight pulsar
#

you have much to learn

timber ridge
#

i like the rounder bump of the t1s

tight pulsar
#

also the stock springs in the fekers are like the worst thing to come out of china since like forever

timber ridge
#

i really wanna do a clicky build tbh

daring zenith
#

no

#

tactile

tacit wing
queen sigil
high fulcrum
#

I wanna do a tactile build Yawy

timber ridge
daring zenith
#

@timber ridge then get cherry blues if you want clicky >:D

timber ridge
#

ima go even louder

#

and get outemu phoenix

#

man, i should try to make an annoying sounding keeb

#

alu case with no dampeners so you can get maximum spring ping and click sound

tight pulsar
#

if u want spring ping just use feker springs lmao they suck so bad

queen sigil
#

nachos what spring do u recommend

#

that isnt taobao

timber ridge
#

tx is p op

#

or sprit or whatever

queen sigil
#

i was thinking of spirit

#

but i wanna hear what nachos has to say

timber ridge
#

which one makes slow springs or whatever

#

i forgot, i think its tx

tight pulsar
#

uh dont order directly from sprit but him and tx are good, gon springs are nice but those are much harder to find, thicthock has some good progressive springs same with the giant springs (some place sells them alone)

queen sigil
#

I think i'll get tx springs

tight pulsar
#

punchy springs, hinghinghonghing, and catweewee are nice older springs but super hard to find

daring zenith
#

@queen sigil u no pink

queen sigil
#

also is txkeyboards a good place to buy lube

timber ridge
#

i get my stuff from dvinikey

#

they ship from cali so it comes p quick

queen sigil

tight pulsar

stoic solar
#

are the glorious pandas much different than the drop ones?

queen sigil
#

tight pulsar
timber ridge
#

i almost picked up during the bfcm sale

queen sigil
#

hmmm

#

maybe

#

the cheap chineese brush I got is starting to lose its hairs

#

or bushes

#

idk what its called

tight pulsar
#

queen sigil
#

yes im not an artist

#

the only brushes I have are for lube

timber ridge
#

i needa pick up 105 too

queen sigil
#

105+205g0 is what I always use

timber ridge
#

im prob gonna put the order in for 105, and kbd foam sticker for stabs

queen sigil
#

but next time I spend money on lube

#

im gonna get some 3204

timber ridge
#

i might try glube

#

i wanna pick up a dif lube for my tactiles

queen sigil
#

I heared glube is just a lower qulity 205g0

#

but its still not a terrible price

timber ridge
#

its not as thick as 205

tight pulsar
#

yall should pick up ro59 lol

queen sigil
#

👀

#

i've heard of it

#

never actually found out what it was

tight pulsar
#

yeah people use dry lube for alps

small nimbus

#

everyone changing

nacho is the only OG left

queen sigil

queen sigil
timber ridge
#

so i jus hit em with the "okay ahaha"

zealous nacelle
#

have any of you looked at the moonlander keyboard

tacit wing
#

i found another use for a mouse bungee pog

zealous nacelle
#

thats

#

interesting

tacit wing
#

no more rerouting cables under me desk again

swift lantern
#

desk too clean

zealous nacelle
#

i mean sure it works

swift lantern
zealous nacelle
#

i dare to say mines cleaner

#

but that moon lander could make it even better tho

tacit wing
#

clean is synonymous with minimalism and im no damn minimalist

#

my desk is pretty dense with stuff lmao

zealous nacelle
#

yeah me neither.... so much density

zealous nacelle
#

lemme catch a link

timber ridge
#

whats plugged in ur amp rn dino ?

zealous nacelle
timber ridge
#

seems a bit pricey for what it is

zealous nacelle
#

it is super pricey yes

tacit wing
#

SSP

zealous nacelle
#

i wont deny its expensive

#

but like its super high quality

timber ridge
#

you might aswell build a split keeb if it cost that much

queen sigil
#

im not a fan of split keyboards in that layout

#

id rather go for a split rather than some split ortho

zealous nacelle
#

i mean its got 32 layer potential, all through on board memory so no need for software after porting it on to the keyboard

queen sigil
#

ah yes

zealous nacelle
#

Ima be real ortho wins no matter what for me lmao

queen sigil
#

this is like pain27 levels

zealous nacelle
#

that cant be real

queen sigil
#

bro if ur an ortholinear person then u dont need advice from us

#

just buy one

zealous nacelle
#

its not advice

tight pulsar
#

oh hey i know some people getting a chiffree

zealous nacelle
#

i just wanted to talk abt what i thought was cool 🥺

#

hell i cant afford that

tight pulsar
#

visit the 40s discord server for yalls weird small ortho boards :v

queen sigil
#

like that one guy with 3000 40%s

zealous nacelle
#

no no. i dont like 40%

tight pulsar
#

uh i know a few with too many 40s

zealous nacelle
#

it terrifies me someone can live with such little keycaps

tight pulsar
#

but if u mean that planck dude then yeah

timber ridge
#

alphas only

zealous nacelle
#

The planck is cool, but not my thing

#

i run a 60%

queen sigil
zealous nacelle
#

so good

timber ridge
zealous nacelle
#

i just think ortho linear makes more sense

#

as well with colemak or workman

#

but i cant do a whole 'nother typing layout

queen sigil
#

I aint saying colmak,dvorak,etc arent bad

zealous nacelle
#

they're impractical af when not a home job like programming

queen sigil
#

but I honestly dont think orthos have that much better of a typing expiriment

neon quartzBOT
#
Nuclear Nachos#9402 has been warned

Reason: Duplicated text

zealous nacelle
queen sigil
#

But it loses the easy accessability of the mods

tight pulsar
#

lol

queen sigil
#

smh nachos

#

ur a techie

#

u know better than sending more than one link at once

zealous nacelle
queen sigil
#

id be fine with all but that last one

#

like ive seen something with that layout

#

but that just looks weird

#

maybe its just the 2u key

#

or whatever size it is

zealous nacelle
#

you know what, you can not like ortho, but you should never like staggered over ortho

zealous nacelle
#

top and bottom ones are p cool tbh

#

anything more on the bottom one?

queen sigil
#

No im just talking about the key looks out of place

zealous nacelle
#

oh its not centered lmao

tight pulsar
#

uh think its a custom design

queen sigil
#

it looks kinda crooked

zealous nacelle
#

it does yah

#

its a whole different key profile

queen sigil
#

oh ive seen something thats all alphas and like 5 numbers

#

and mods

queen sigil
#

its the ignition key

#

vroom

tacit wing
#

keyboard with lock

zealous nacelle
#

maybe turns it on or smthm

#

its got spots to hook up wiring

timber ridge
#

@west hornet any mic recommendations under 150 xlr and usb

west hornet
#

q2u and atr2005usb? i think it was are nice xlr/usb mics. for xlr mics i really like the neat king bee or the worker bee ~100-130ish

timber ridge
#

thx

#

might do a budget xlr setup with a scarlett solo

west hornet
#

oh also for usb the elgato wave is really nice

timber ridge
#

have you looked into the mv7?

west hornet
#

yes I like that one too, tho some people say it actually sounds a bit better on it's internal amp via usb connection which is a bit strange

#

iirc that ones ~250usd

timber ridge
#

it cost about as much as a budget amp and mic combo

west hornet
#

yup 250

timber ridge
#

the podmic looks p nice for its price

west hornet
#

ya that's another good dynamic. you can look up reviews and sound tests to see what has the sound you are looking for

timber ridge
#

yea, i did some light research, jus wanted to get someones ops on it

#

ill update ya if i decide to pick something up

west hornet
#

kk, and ye good to get others ideas too. also i am very forgetful for its definetly possible for me to forget a few haha

timber ridge
#

at2020 is 99 right now but im not sure if its one of those products that are on sale all the time

#

or if its an actual sale

west hornet
#

ye that's all the time. at2020 price currently is ~100usd

#

personally I much prefer the worker or king bee at the price but its all up to you

timber ridge
#

only downfall to a lot of the xlr mics is no simple mute switch imo

#

i tihnk ill spend like 170 b4 tax at most on the mic alone

west hornet
#

something like the goxlr has a mute button so it's possible that other mixers or interfaces have one. or maybe a keybind. or just turn the dial down slowly haha

timber ridge
#

@magic iris

#

oops not the right one

swift lantern
#

no mute switch?

#

why the heck not?

timber ridge
#

he got the boot

calm cobalt
#

anyone know of any good mic for under 50 cad?

timber ridge
#

idk cad to usd conversion but i think the fifine mic should be under 50 cad

calm cobalt
#

would that work with a mic stand? if i get it seperately

timber ridge
#

or right at 50

#

you can get a boom arm bundle

calm cobalt
#

ya but then its like 90

timber ridge
#

if not, it comes with a mini tripod stand that you can use for the time being

calm cobalt
#

alright

swift lantern
#

if i ever do get a dedicated good mic, it definitely needs to be an arm

timber ridge
#

i dont really care about my mic, but ppl always say its not picking up what i say

#

and its like right next to my mouth

queen sigil
#

theres more than one

#

that cholax has 3 roles

#

👀

timber ridge
#

he got booted

swift lantern
#

lance you sure you got it boosted

#

?

timber ridge
#

wym by boosted?

queen sigil
#

wdym booted

swift lantern
timber ridge
#

o ye i got it up

west hornet
#

i would avoid boost, does strange things

dapper sparrow
#

Best cheap to cheap-ish mic?

#

Like around blue snowball price

queen sigil
#

fifine

dapper sparrow
#

Which fifine?

#

Do you have a link to one?

west hornet
#

Samson q2u, maybe a hyperx solocast or razer seiren mini you can look at too

tacit wing
#

wait what happened to cholax

timber ridge
#

he sent a brown crying emote

#

and lets jus say the name of the emote has a word that can get u canceled

queen sigil
#

Hmmm i feel like I know what part of the name was

timber ridge
#

probably

tacit wing
#

cholax just did a DINO MOMENT

#

but i think thats way worse than talking about Dekoni Tips

small nimbus
#

poor cholax

timber ridge
#

it was a brown sobbing emote

#

it looked harmless until you see the name of it

tacit wing
#

what a rotten bit of luck

timber ridge
#

tragic

timber ridge
#

he has b/w anime pfp now

#

hes down bad

queen sigil
#

wait gateron caps was a GB

#

why are there extras

timber ridge
#

idk

queen sigil
#

#

guess i get a free acrylic switch holder

small nimbus
tacit wing
#

im gonna send him this flac

timber ridge
#

pain

tacit wing
#

im gonna try to talk to Forks to see if he can lift it

#

hes annoying af but i really feel bad for the kid, seems like he gets picked on by his parents and bullies alot i feel like this server is a part of his social life somewhat

small nimbus

timber ridge

#

RGB LUBE STATION

swift lantern
#

HA

tacit wing
#

yo Kuzu

queen sigil
#

what did you buy

tacit wing
#

i hope this brings you pain

queen sigil
#

6xx?

tacit wing
#

yes

queen sigil
#

haha i dont know what that is

tacit wing
#

MID BASS GANG

queen sigil
#

I just know you people say its good

tacit wing
#

yes and there is something terribly wrong with Kuzu

#

and the guy who i sold my 58x's to

queen sigil
#

ah yes i guess they have terrible ears

tacit wing
#

im just kidding everyone is different

#

though detail on planars are objectively better than dynamics for the most part, but disliking the 6xx as a whole aint it

queen sigil
#

I totally know what that means

#

but i am going to say

#

yes very cool

swift lantern
#

or you're just being a fanboy

#

bit cringe innit

small nimbus
#

kuzu mad because he has next gen ears

#

or previous gen ears hard to tell 🤔

queen sigil
swift lantern
#

well apparently I hear more treble than all of y'all

tacit wing
#

Kuzu get 990 Pros

#

youll love it more than 6xx trust

small nimbus
#

dino booli peepoSadSip

swift lantern
#

Unless I got a defunct unit my ears do not deceive me, the 6xx are stinky

queen sigil
#

my ears are ear shaped

swift lantern
#

Even the bass is better on the phantoms

#

Probably cuz bigger driver

#

By more than 2x

tacit wing
#

Kuzu, if you had not gotten lucky to get Phantoms for that price, would you think that wouldve changed your mind about the 6xx id you didnt had Phantoms as reference?

queen sigil
#

i buy pro gaming headset

swift lantern
#

Maybe

queen sigil
#

i buy from china so it cheaper

#

it has suround sound and a cool rgb mic

swift lantern
#

Although I must say the 6xx aren't very comfortable either

tacit wing
#

isnt the clamp force jarring out of the box

swift lantern
#

For my gigantic cranium

tacit wing
#

it killed me

swift lantern
#

Yeah and heavy clamp

#

Started to hurt within minutes

#

Basically no included accessories, drop exclusive, I give it 7/10

tacit wing
swift lantern
#

Dang

queen sigil
#

hahaha big head

swift lantern
#

I don't think they're gonna give me a refund...

tacit wing
swift lantern
#

"we stand behind our products"

#

Ok, have it back

#

I think if I didn't have MODDED phantoms as well I might've preferred the 6xx

tacit wing
#

wait hold on

#

you said modded

queen sigil
#

:face: moment

swift lantern
#

The phantoms require two very easy mods to reach their full potential

#

Free mods, no additional cost btw

#
  1. Remove the foam
  2. Bend the doohickey to make them clamp better
#

Bam, you now have an A tier headphone that's super comfortable and easy to drive

queen sigil
#

i love removing doohickeys

tacit wing
#

i assume they were big mods since you typed it in all caps

swift lantern
#

As far as price:performance goes

#

At $200, the phantom would definitely win hands down, but at $350, hard to recommend

#

I don't have any more headphones to compare to though

#

But I feel like the 6xx is not a proportional leap in quality for the leap in price

#

I wonder if the jubilees would at least feel like a better value proposition

#

Id be very curious to try 5xx, maybe being a planar fixes the sound

tacit wing
#

i will have 6xx to compare to my 5xx soon

swift lantern
#

Considering their also both the same price the 5xx seems automatically a better value, I should've gotten those

tacit wing
#

5xx are W I D E B O I S

#

its actually hilarious how airy they are

#

its so wide that the music actually feels disconnected

#

they are very specific purpose headphones, i only bust them out with certain music

swift lantern
#

How's the detail

tacit wing
#

yes

#

best detail out over everything i got rn

swift lantern
#

Allow me to give you a test song

tacit wing
#

well its bc its the only planar i got

swift lantern
tacit wing
#

holy imaging

swift lantern
#

If the "get looooost" *heavy guitar* bit doesn't have sibilance at all, it has good detail

#

God I can't type well on mobile

#

Well it means either good detail or heavy enough bass to compensate

tacit wing
#

Kuzu if you think the highs on the 6xx are sharp i dont think the 5xx is for you

#

its definitely not for you lol

swift lantern
#

Friendship ended with sennheiser

#

Did it have sibilance?

tacit wing
#

no the only sibilance i get from my cans are from my m40x's

#

i dont get sibilance from the 5xx theyre not exactly tinny bois

swift lantern
#

Also on a scale of 1-10 how grooving is the song and why is it 12

last plinth
#

gonna learn how to code

swift lantern
#

Is... Is burn in a real thing?

last plinth
#

might be a software engineer

tacit wing
#

ear burn-in is legit

swift lantern
#

So they're just bad then

last plinth
#

what is burn

swift lantern
#

Unfortunate

tacit wing
swift lantern
#

Some people say headphones sound different when you let them run for a while

#

Like they're flexing their muscles of something

tacit wing
#

the drivers dont change, your ears just adjust to them

timber ridge
#

isnt there like burn in stations where there is like 8 outputs

#

jus to burn more than one iem or can

swift lantern
#

That's the most pointless thing lmao

#

I really wanted to like the 6xx

#

I really did

#

I was hyped on them for so long

tacit wing
#

driver burn in is as baloney as snake oil cables

swift lantern
#

But I listed with my ears and not my wallet and my ears prefer phantoms

#

Dino if you have 5xx why even bother with 6xx

small nimbus
timber ridge
#

ur ears may be cursed

swift lantern
#

Like why go back to dynamic???

tacit wing
#

bc i like centralized vocals and the 5xx is like the complete polar opposite of centralized

swift lantern
#

Y'know, I'm gonna try them again real quick, on my phone

#

Okay

tacit wing
#

theyre as wide as that man

#

Kuzu dont force yourself to like the 6xx

#

its pointless

#

my decision on getting the 6xx doesnt mean you should give them another chance lol

daring zenith
#

Preferences are preferences

swift lantern
#

Ok another another point

#

Their cable is kinda garbo

#

Won't fit in phones with protector on

tacit wing
swift lantern
#

Your loss

tacit wing
#

this me the day it comes in the mail

swift lantern
#

Your loss

timber ridge
#

ooo you securing 6xx?

swift lantern
#

One thing I don't get is the weird way a lot of the more expensive planars are lower impedance

tacit wing
swift lantern
#

Like I guess they are marketing their ease to drive but like???

timber ridge
#

i lowkey wanna get 6xx jus bc kuzu doesnt want us to

tacit wing
#

YES

swift lantern
#

32-48 ohm is perfectly acceptable

tacit wing
#

Ninj is getting a pair too this is perfect

swift lantern
#

Get phantoms instead, you folks

#

You fools

timber ridge
#

there is a chance that ur cans are defective

#

phantom too expensive

swift lantern
#

It is possible

#

Although after watching the tour of their factory, it seems incredibly unlikely

daring zenith
#

Didn't you say it's possible it was just defects making the 6xx sound bad

swift lantern
#

Unlikely but not impossible

timber ridge
#

o kuzu

#

idk if you bought it when it was on sale but the zen can is 150

swift lantern
#

Dang

#

I got it for 160 I think

#

Oh well

timber ridge
#

welp

#

hmmm, im debating on what amp to get bc i might get a dac gifted to me

tacit wing
#

another L for Kuzu you hate to see it

timber ridge
#

f

#

my options rn are l30, a50 and zen can

swift lantern
#

I just have the strongest feeling in the universe there are better headphones in the $220 range

#

Probably some other Chifi

tacit wing
#

akg k371 or dt 880

timber ridge
#

yup

swift lantern
#

Yeah probably

timber ridge
#

id throw 4xx in the bunch too tbh

swift lantern
#

I beg you, don't get these clamp monsters

tacit wing
#

lance get them

timber ridge
#

i might

tacit wing
#

Ninj will get them too

timber ridge
#

its jus a tad bit over budget

swift lantern
#

What have I done to deserve this

tacit wing
#

o wait

#

thats illega

timber ridge
#

im lowkey bouta possibly hit my audio endgame

#

oh10 and better cans

tacit wing
#

oh10 are already wide af

#

you need some centralized cans

daring zenith
#

There is no end, only more headphones

timber ridge
#

yea, oh10s are my fun pair of iems

#

but the 6xx is like 20 bucks over budget

tacit wing
#

ok get some boring ones

swift lantern
#

Try a Hifiman or something

#

Chifi

tacit wing
#

400i 2020

timber ridge
#

best things in my budget are dt880s and 4xx imo

#

400i are kinda like 4xx with a dif low end sound signature

Wait only 20hz-20khz?

I mean thats the important part yadda yadda but most planars go higher and lower don't they

#

anyone know if theres a fix to the top row of keys not working (repeatedly pressing themselves) I have a tecware phantom L and was able to disable them in software but it be better being able to use them until amazon ships the replacement

daring zenith
#

repeatedly pressing themselves eh

somber tiger
#

I tried pulling out the switches to see if that was it but I cant get them out lol

daring zenith
#

switches are supposed to be hotswap (on the tecware) , you got a switch puller?

somber tiger
#

yeah

#

even watched a video to see if I was doing it right but cant seem to get them out

#

came with extra switches too but cant get the old ones out

daring zenith
#

hm

#

do they move at all?

somber tiger
#

theres a little bit of wiggle when I try by hand

daring zenith
#

use switch puller

somber tiger
#

Yeah thats what I've been doing I just tried by hand to see if theyd move

daring zenith
#

like with the switch puller you should grab the 2 tabs on the ends of the switch and then it'll start moving

somber tiger
#

I cant seem to get under the top to be able to grab

queen sigil
daring zenith
somber tiger
#

oh the videos I saw used the plastic one I can try the metal one

queen sigil
#

why is it so sparkley

daring zenith
queen sigil
#

also why do u just not have any switches in

daring zenith
#

wdym sparkley

queen sigil
#

@daring zenith r u in USA

daring zenith
#

yes

queen sigil
#

OK

daring zenith
#

y

queen sigil
#

just asking

#

wanted to know ur timezone

#

or like arrpoximate

daring zenith
#

central

#

I pulled my arrow keys out for example

somber tiger
#

Tried a few different switches too

daring zenith
#

You see how I use the switch puller to push in the "tabs"?

#

need to push those in with the puller to get the switch out

#

and yea the metal one is the switch puller, plastic one looks like keycap puller

somber tiger
#

my keys dont have tabs like that

#

theyre outemu low profile blues

daring zenith
#

pretty sure all hotswap switches have them

little crater
#

Koss PPO4AA first impressions, heavy, look cool as hell, really comfortable to wear without pushing my hair to the side, look really freaking cool, feels like both of my ears are getting a nice hug, really good noise isolation, not too much pressure right out of the box.

they sound nice, really clear, but sub-bass is present, but needs to be eq'd the hell out of to exist.

queen sigil
#

low profile switches

somber tiger
queen sigil
#

outemu is different

#

idk

#

just google it or something

daring zenith
#

hm

somber tiger
#

The tab is very small there if you can see it

daring zenith
#

welp, pull the tab and try to get the top row out and see what's up with em

calm cobalt
#

what do keyboard switched do

#

whats the difference between them,

queen sigil
#

wdym

#

they feel different

calm cobalt
#

so like whats the difference between red, blue, and brown switches

daring zenith
#

feeling

tacit wing
#

there needs to be pinned messages to answer the most basic of questions

#

i swear Forks posted one on this channel

queen sigil
#

there was on

#

one

#

but it had not theb est information

little crater
#

after eqing the literal hell out of these, they now sound really freaking good. theres a treble spike near the 2K dial thats really offensive

somber tiger
#

also no matter how hard I try I cannot get these switches out

#

at most I was able to get one side out but not the other

#

either way they sent me a blue when I ordered a brown so gotta return it anyway

tight pulsar
#

force curve graphs are nice but since haata kinda retired theres nobody that makes good ones for switches

#

and a good accurate machine to measure them is like 3k+ :/

timber ridge
#

rgb strips for pcs or like ur room/setup

#

phanteks has some really nice one but im not sure if itll save the settings

#

im sure it should, but i think they make the nicest rgb strips

#

phanteks has 2 different types of strips, the one i linked then your more average rgb strips but those are really good too

#

LMFAO i got my Akatsuki mousepad for free

#

they refunded the money i paid them for GOD knows what reason

but im not questioning them about it

timber ridge

funny thing is

#

i posted a pic of my mat on their discord before

#

so im like

timber ridge
#

how much are their mousepads?

queen sigil
#

eyyy

#

its like the colors u want

timber ridge
#

i ordered them a while back

#

kinda regret it, i could of saved money if i went with unit 01 tactiles and gateron caps

queen sigil
#

yesterday I found out about b and d stock for novelkeys

tacit wing
#

30 bucks for a 36x18

timber ridge
#

they only have it for their keebs right

queen sigil
#

yeah

stoic solar
timber ridge
#

id avoid d stock

queen sigil
#

for the nk65 entry edition its like 25$ for D stock

tacit wing
#

HA

queen sigil
#

so if u want to gamble

tacit wing
#

cuz its the joker

queen sigil
#

but its all out of stock

#

B stock is 85 USD tho

#

for nk65

#

entry

#

which id say isnt too bad

timber ridge
#

most of b stock have light cracks on them

#

cant imagine what d stock has

queen sigil
#

i think B stock is like what they find in production that has defects

#

while D stock is returns

timber ridge
#

prob

queen sigil
#

because of like cracks/pcb/etc

timber ridge
#

most of d stock are jus light cracks in the case

#

b*

#

i lowkey feel bad for cholax

queen sigil
#

im kinda surprised that gateron caps come with like an acrylic case thing

timber ridge
#

caps are op

#

24 bucks for a 65%

#

give or take

queen sigil
#

I paid like 8$ for 35

#

milkys

timber ridge
#

last i saw it was 11 bucks for 35

#

which is still really good

queen sigil
#

i got em for 8$ during BFCM

timber ridge
#

if i didnt order those 01 linears i would of picked up cap switches

#

lowkey big mistake on my end

#

should of got these, they lowkey have a better looking housing imo and i would of saved a bit

queen sigil
#

lol i dont care about how a switch looks

timber ridge
#

i jus care for this one time

#

otherwise i dont really

queen sigil
#

u need that purple/green keyboard

#

🙄

daring zenith
#

Are you just not gonna use a keycap?

queen sigil
#

timber ridge
#

its the little details that count

queen sigil

queen sigil

#

i find myself messing up the more time I get

timber ridge
#

idk

#

but it looks like im floating around the 80s

#

if i practice more i canprob bump it up

latent hull
#

For just talking on Discord and gaming should I get a standalone microphone or just a good pair of headphones with a mic attached?

queen sigil
#

I mean generally speaking having a seperate mic is better

#

so say like idk ur headphones break

#

u wont have to replace the whole thing

#

also i think it's generally better

timber ridge
#

get a standalone mic

latent hull
#

I already have a pair of headphones if I decide for the standalone microphone what would be a good setup for a mic 150-200 max but dont want to necessarily spend 200 just a max budget

timber ridge
#

you can spend 35 dollars and get a really good mic

latent hull
#

Then what would you suggest?

timber ridge
#

either fifine mic or wave 3

#

if the wave 3 is on sale, otherwise you can go with a wave 1

#

heres a comparison, you can see what you think best fits ur budget

#

you can skip to like 50sec

latent hull
#

plus it does have Free Returns so if I don't like it then I can just return it so I can always just try it

#

Thanks for the recommendation

timber ridge
#

if you order from amazon, you should have free returns

#

and i think theres an updated fifine mic that has a dedicated mute switch and detachable cable

latent hull
#

if you can find that model that would be greatly appreciated

timber ridge
#

are you by any chance in the US?

latent hull
#

yes

timber ridge
#

there is not any reviews on it, but it looks exactly like their older mic with some updates (mute switch, detachable cable, etc)

#

so I'd assume it'll perform the same

strange ridge
#

What would be a good arm for that mic cuz the mute is nice just no mic mount thing like the t669

timber ridge
#

honestly any boom arm will do bc of how light it is

#

and I wouldn't spend more on a boom arm than the actual mic, but thats just me

strange ridge
#

Alright I know someone said to spend more on the boom the other day

#

But yeah that thing is light

timber ridge
#

there is pros to a more expensive boom arm, but i would rather put that extra money to a mic

#

you could get a $100 boom arm, but it doesnt seem ideal if youre only spending 50 on a mic

#

unless youre thinking about future proofing urself or somethign

strange ridge
#

Yeah

#

I'm making plans for future standalone mic and headset and wanna get something better than a regular gamer headset

timber ridge
#

im kinda going thru that same phase rn

#

earlier this year i got a fifine mic and a 20 dollar boom arm i think

#

and its really all you need tbh

gloomy berry
#

@calm cobalt ask the folks in here about mics

#

They know that stuff

calm cobalt
#

Ok

#

What’s a good standalone mic

gloomy berry
#

@timber ridge you still around?

Ghosty the only mic person here

gloomy berry
#

Well shoot

#

I thought there would be more help

#

Sorry

west hornet
#

@calm cobalt what budget and xlr or usb

queen sigil
#

wow ghosty ur late

#

smh

west hornet
#

Sorry eating sushi 😦

timber ridge
#

ghosty

#

can you help get cholax back in here

calm cobalt
timber ridge
#

should list ur budget

calm cobalt
#

Umm 100 cad max

timber ridge
#

xlr is prob not gonna be an option then

latent hull
west hornet
#

I guess I’ll just list a few than:
USB: Fifine k669, Samson q2u, hyperx solocast, razer seiren mini, atr2005usb, elgato wave 1 & 2, shure m7v
XLR: xm8500, neat worker bee, neat king bee
Note the Samson q2u, atr2005usb and shure m7v are hybrids (work with either usb or xlr) xlr mics require some kind of interface to connect to pc

#

Ahh around that budget a elgato wave can be a nice fit, good sounding mic and simple to use

latent hull
#

What interface would be good for one of those hybrids? I am thinking like 150 for the budget combined of both the mic and interface

timber ridge
#

seiren is p bad ngl

#

from what i heard

west hornet
#

The cheapest interface is a uphoria um2 at ~40usd which I find a bit noisy. Perhaps a umc22 would be a step up? I don’t know much about the umc22.

#

The seiren is bad, the mini sounds pretty good for its price IMO but both the mini and hyperx solocast seem to not deal with desk noise very well

timber ridge
#

yea true

#

i think the solocast is a bit better than the mini

calm cobalt
#

Xlr to USB

#

Connecter

west hornet
#

I’m not sure I’ve seen a very thorough review of the solocast yet, can’t remember exactly

timber ridge
#

if 150 is your max budget, i think youre better off going with a usb mic like the wave tbh

calm cobalt
#

Ill go with t669

west hornet
#

If you get xlr do not get a xlr to 3.5mm or xlr to USB adapter cables they are very janky and don’t sound great, especially with a condenser that requires 48v phantom power

calm cobalt
#

Lol

#

I’d imagine

west hornet
#

Me still waiting for a response from motu support 😔

timber ridge
#

m2?

queen sigil
#

omg so close

west hornet
#

Ye I’m trying to troubleshoot, been very difficult to find the exact cause. So far only thing I can think of is something wrong with the phantom circuit

queen sigil
#

but i died last

#

so didnt get 100+wpm

calm cobalt
#

What about t669

timber ridge
#

t669 is the best budget mic imo

stoic solar
#

lmao

#

i got a mystery ducky one 2 mini

#

for $45

timber ridge
#

at that price point, its hard to beat

stoic solar
#

and

west hornet
#

Gaa I can’t remember between k669 or t669 or if there even was a difference. These naming schemes Sick

stoic solar
#

red switches

timber ridge
#

ducky one 2 mini should be like $45 retail

west hornet
#

If it’s the one I remember ye it’s a decent budget mic. I know some other people that use it

stoic solar
#

so like 100ish

timber ridge
#

i still think it should be like no more than 70

stoic solar
#

well msrp is 100

timber ridge
#

yeye, you got it for a good deal

#

but 100 dollars for a 60% and plastic build

#

kinda of a yikes

latent hull
queen sigil
#

comparing a ducky to like other keyboards

timber ridge
#

gk61

queen sigil
#

maybe like 50$

timber ridge
#

literally half the price

queen sigil
#

plus the keychron k12

#

is probs gonna be really cheap

timber ridge
#

yea, $70 would be a reasonable price for the ducky one 2 mini

#

still a bit pricey, but not crazy

#

you'd be paying like a 20 dollar premium for rgb and software over chinese keebs

queen sigil
#

you're paying a premium because its a gaming keyboard

#

and the price of premium is money and quality

stoic solar
#

yeah

daring zenith
#

keychron 12?

queen sigil
#

yes

stoic solar
#

honeslty i like my varmilo boards

#

or however u spell

daring zenith
#

wat layout it gonna be

queen sigil
#

60%

tight pulsar

varmilo nice

daring zenith
#

ow

west hornet

Not really sure what the difference in sound is but price is getting close to a q2u

mr1 a friend is selling his 65 buy it and join the smol keyboard club and it has ur favorite extra keys

#

does it have dedicated prtscrn?

#

does it have dedicated home, end, del, pgup, pgdn?

queen sigil
#

i mean if it has QMK cant you just

#

change it

daring zenith
#

@queen sigil I said dedicated did I not

queen sigil
#

u can just

#

change the keycaps

#

thats why u get like DSA or XDA

#

because u put them anywhere

strange ridge
#

That doesn't sound very dedicated

west hornet
#

Possibly, could be that I am q2u simp also, you can look up reviews on both. I personally like podcastage for reviews. Only downside with the q2u is if you touch the empty xlr port there might be some static

daring zenith
#

no like

#

I use every key

#

prtscrn for screenshots

#

home del pgup pgdn for afterburner osd

🤔 how would sundaras scale with a valhalla 2 and magni 3+

tacit wing
#

skip planars entirely if your planning on getting tubes

timber ridge
#

im p sure you can run it with a schiit stack

#

modi/magni

tacit wing
#

magni 3+ can pretty much drive anything

high fulcrum
timber ridge
#

i dont think i can justify getting any iems over 250

tight pulsar
#

huh so planars dont like tubes?

tacit wing
#

nope

#

gotta get some Sennheisers or Focals for tubes Yep

#

the Magnius is a better amp for the Sundaras if youre sticking with the Schiit route

tight pulsar
#

nah probably just going modi/magni and 6xx or sundaras if i can get them used for a decent price

timber ridge
#

i mean

#

kuzu might be selling his, gonna have to dm outside of this server

#

bc bannable

tight pulsar
#

valhalla look so nice and toobs
