whe wish pixio had specs, but M27q generally better color than most panels, even ips

M27q is at same price as p277, 5hz higher ig, but most likely better colors, and M27q testing gives it very nice response time and low overshoot and all

[timber ridge]

https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/comparison/ec15189aa2

viewsonic is the cheapest with a 10bit panel

only downside is that its usually out of stock

[daring zenith]

lmao I know srgb is just color spectrum and all but nicer colors

fun thing

might point to hwunboxed testing for pixel response time testing

[timber ridge]

mm, guess you cant really go wrong with eithe r

[daring zenith]

I'm still a M27q simp for now, much goodies for gaming for the price

[timber ridge]

i would go with viewsonic simply bc its the cheapest option unless you need the highest refresh rate

[daring zenith]

quick chart thingy, @timber ridge nice g2g performance overall, and with 0% ghosting

[timber ridge]

o thats p good

viewsonic is a bit above it

[daring zenith]

ghosting tho

[thick plank]

Stax sr303 should be here in a few days

Apparently it is just a 404 with a 120pf cable instead of 110

[timber ridge]

true

[daring zenith]

and then this is averages with overdrive off if I understood the testing correctly

[timber ridge]

comes down to better ghosting performance or wider color gamut ig

[daring zenith]

Input lag nice, but not that useful a measurement, gonna skip and look for moar charts

[timber ridge]

with the 3 of them being all super close, id jus go for whatever is cheapest

[daring zenith]

lmao the power consumption is lowest on the chart, but that doesn't matter

[timber ridge]

i personally like the viewsonic most bc of its panel but ended up with a pixio bc of price and availability lol

[daring zenith]

quite a bit better max brightness

I used to view PX7 Prime as a competitor because of hdr, but px7 is like gone

[timber ridge]

ye

i rock my monitor on relatively low brightness

hurts my eyes lmao

[daring zenith]

the min is also quite good

@timber ridge ofc no one is going to run their monitor max brightness for no reason, but it's good for HDR perf and nice looking stuff

[timber ridge]

yea i messed with hdr on my monitor but usually find myself to lazy to switch it on and off

[daring zenith]

nice to have tho

[timber ridge]

yea

i almost got lenovo's monitor during bfcm

it was a good deal and its p good on paper

[daring zenith]

lenovo's which one?

[timber ridge]

lemme see if i can find the model

Lenovo Legion Y27q-20

p sure thats it

[daring zenith]

lmao

why does it not say resolution anywhere in the tech specs

[timber ridge]

dunno but its 1440p

[daring zenith]

fun

[timber ridge]

bruh ima turn into one of those ppl who come in here for help and never make a decision

[daring zenith]

bro that's me

[timber ridge]

cant decide what headphone or headphones to get

[daring zenith]

I can't decide what headphones I want to get that I may not ever get

[timber ridge]

lol

[daring zenith]

just looking

still on the figuring out why things like 6xx don't compare that well

[timber ridge]

what do you mean by compare well

[sly warren]

Just get Koss UR40'S

[timber ridge]

you know someone tried making a petition to remove peripheral chat bc you tried forcing ur40s on him

[sly warren]

They are 30 bucks and slay basically anything until you hit the Anandas or HD560S's

Welp, that guy just hasn't become a Koss convert.

And it's a shame

[timber ridge]

and my options rn are sundaras, dt880s/400i, or hd560s/k371 maybe

[sly warren]

Oh, right I forgot about Sundaras

Skip 880s

And skip the 400is

[timber ridge]

i heard k371s are a bit muddy

[sly warren]

K361 is basically the same as K371, except there's a Bass Shelf on the 371s

[timber ridge]

k361s are better for some ppl but idk

im jus exploring my options rn

sundaras cost as much as 2 decent cans

[sly warren]

Or like, 10 Koss UR40s

My next Cheapfi purchase is gonna be a pair of Tin T2 Plusses

After that, Creative Aurvana Live SE's

[daring zenith]

honestly might get UR40s :P

[sly warren]

Do eet

[daring zenith]

who knows

looks cheap

[sly warren]

They look cheap, but they sound glorious.

They punch past any of the more expensive cans I own.

And I have M50Xs and HD558s

Now that my source is clean, I can properly review cans and IEMs.

And the HD558s sound muddy AF. There's no clarity.

And the M50Xs sound tinny and grating.

UR40s sound like heaven in a cheap pair of headphones.

[daring zenith]

all I know right now is pc37x sounds great

and it was prob a bad idea to go fulla 3, it's in the spot of like, not enough to sound great, and yet not a cheap 'throwaway' type purchase

[sly warren]

I might be getting my PC37Xs back from my Fiancee

Because her front panel jacks on her case are on the fritz

[daring zenith]

?

are front panel jacks even controller by onboard sound chip

[sly warren]

Her Razer crapphones work on the front panel, but the PC37Xs for some reason aren't working half the time.

[daring zenith]

why not reario?

[sly warren]

Too long of a run.

[daring zenith]

ah

[sly warren]

Need like, double the cable length...

[daring zenith]

lol

[sly warren]

If the Meizu Dongle I have can handle a Mic input, and handle it cleanly, I'll start using it for my PC for all audio

[west hornet]

ye front panel is onboard, and its not uncommon to have issues with the front panel audio

[daring zenith]

meizu dongle actually seems great, prob should've gotten it, but did not know about it and PC37x is headset so (I liek mic)

[west hornet]

[daring zenith]

like I can use my pixel 4 with ma pc37x

with meizu dongle

[sly warren]

The Meizu Dongle does indeed have 4 pole support.

This is good.

Now I just need a combiner.

Anyone have recommendations for a product that takes a headphone and mic jack and combines it to a single 4 pole?

[daring zenith]

4 pole?

I got an overpriced like headfone+mic 3.5in combiner thing with my pc37x, mostly because it brought me over the 100$ for free shipping xD

[sly warren]

Lol

Yeah, I need one of those, I found one though.

Oddly enough it has Prime Shipping, but it's gonna be here on Thursday...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[timber ridge]

dt880 prices are not epic

flow chart says under 150

but theyre going for like 200

[sly warren]

This is why you buy UR40s.

[timber ridge]

im willing to drop the money

bc i dont plan on upgrading again

[queen sigil]

whats the diff between closed and open back headphones

like basic explanation

[cunning hearth]

closed is basically everything is sealed, and the only way that sound gets out is towards your ears

it allows for noise canceling, but there can be very small echo

its like your listening in ur head

open back is open to the air, which means that u can hear the outside and the outside can hear ur music

its like a band is playing music around you

but downside is everyone can hear what ur listening to

@queen sigil

[daring zenith]

31$ on amazon

[cunning hearth]

you interrupted me >:(

[queen sigil]

man why would I get noice cancelling headphones

[daring zenith]

there

[queen sigil]

how would I hear my epic keyboard

[daring zenith]

for you

[cunning hearth]

[cunning hearth]

then open back

[daring zenith]

dunno man @cunning hearth I like using my open back headphones as speakers

[daring zenith]

isn't that what you'd want

[timber ridge]

might join the 6xx gang

unless i go with hd560s

[sly warren]

560S's > 6xx's

[tacit wing]

500 series detail is meme

[timber ridge]

im aware of their differences

from what i read, 6xx better detail, treble

[tacit wing]

6xx and Sundaras are your only choices here

[timber ridge]

i could do 6xx and k361

[tacit wing]

those are solid picks, just don't dig yourself too deep down Mid-fi hell

[timber ridge]

but idk if my mh752s will make the k361 obsolete

prob will look at graphs first

and this is a one time thingy for me

[west hornet]

smh why buy those when you can buy he 1 for low price of 60k

never get headphone again

[timber ridge]

unless i go with sundaras, i will pick up a pair of bassy cans later on

he1

imagine

[sly warren]

The HD560S's are not a meme.

[timber ridge]

even if someone offered it to me, i wouldnt keep em

resell op

[tacit wing]

bass complimentary cans got to be CAL's by default. 50 bucks.

A step up would be EMU Teaks

and then the TH900 which are endgame slam cannons

[timber ridge]

so my options for bass cans that are under 150 are k361, cal

and thats it?

and im lowkey jus gonna pull the trigger on 6xx

jus wanna get my bassy options down

[tacit wing]

k371 are tuned bassier than 361 despite being similar drivers

if youre looking for low-end, theres no choice but to go for Biodyna

theres nothing that does low-end better between CAL and Teak

[timber ridge]

maybe in 10 years

ill have a pair

[queen sigil]

I was thinking of getting CALs

but im scared of breaking them

[tacit wing]

the only downside of CAL's is that theyre built like crap

[timber ridge]

yea

[tacit wing]

but they sound as good as much as they are built like crap

[timber ridge]

drop gives a discount for first orders right

[tacit wing]

i dont believe i got a discount my first time buying from there

[queen sigil]

i think my brother got a 10$ discount

[tacit wing]

you get rewards for every dollar you spend on there

[timber ridge]

welp, atleast i was able to narrow down my options by a lot

6xx+bassy headphones

or jus hit endgame with sundaras

[tacit wing]

ok so 6xx rolls off in the low-end where the Aurvanas can deliver

thats why i say theyre great as a complimentary

as a duo

[sly warren]

Wow, that's a similar graph...

[queen sigil]

https://drop.com/buy/holyoops-graphics-card-aluminum-artisan-keycap#overview

oh its on drop now

[timber ridge]

really wish they werent built like crap

[tacit wing]

save up for Teaks then

[timber ridge]

how much are they

[tacit wing]

or better yet TH900

thats endgame for bass

[timber ridge]

are teaks under 200

[tacit wing]

you prolly shouldnt care about build quality for stuff around 50 bucks man, because what youre paying for are those biodynamic drivers

oh naw lol Teaks are like around 450 to 500

[timber ridge]

oof

i feel like after 500ish, its not worth

[tacit wing]

well it depends how much you like slam if its worth it or not

[timber ridge]

in my case atleast

dino what do you use to compare the graphs?

wait

im stupid

literally in the pic

[tacit wing]

nope go back to hphq

and go to the bot measuring channel

[timber ridge]

yup

[tacit wing]

plt (headphone 1) (headphone 2)

thats what you type for comparison

and you can do left channels only or raw frequency graphs with -t left or -t raw

[sly warren]

I got banned from HPHQ, because they hate Koss.

[timber ridge]

not even in the list gg

k361 cant be found

[tacit wing]

ksc75 and porta pros are like default budget reccs from HPHQ

they even made an emote so they dont hate Koss

they love Koss

[timber ridge]

hmm

sundara and 6xx are kinda what i expected

sundara beats it in the low end then 6xx beats it in the mids

[tacit wing]

timbre is also better on the Sennheisers

which the graphs doesnt really show

alot to consider that the graphs doesnt show tbh but imo you cant really go wrong with either of them

[timber ridge]

ye

[tacit wing]

Sundies deliver better res and detail while 6xx better timbre and tonality

[timber ridge]

only thing stopping me from copping sundaras, is idk if i should dive in that deep

wihtout trying anything

[tacit wing]

so is the price of concern?

youre afraid of dropping 350 and you might not like it or???

[timber ridge]

ye ig

[tacit wing]

Sundaras arent that deep tbh theyre still considered mid-fi, Anandas are like entry Hifi from Hifiman

[timber ridge]

theyre deep for my wallet tho

[tight pulsar]

🤔 what do yall recommend at like 500

[queen sigil]

500 cherry browns off mechanicalkeyboards.com

or whatever the site is called

[timber ridge]

aeon and dt1990s are p nice

[tight pulsar]

dude i was looking at the aeons and man they so smexy

[timber ridge]

yea

they highkey tempting

[glad hound]

im in need of a headset extension cable, is there a good one any of you recommend around 5ft and under and not too crazy on the price?

[queen sigil]

define "not too crazy on the price"

and im pretty sure there are different types of cables

[west hornet]

you should get aryas nachos

[tacit wing]

^^

[glad hound]

like under 40

[tight pulsar]

lmao a friends package was stuck at toledo for 2 weeks and went back up to detroit again

[daring zenith]

like what kind

[tacit wing]

just find one that fits your criteria on Amazon. cables shouldnt matter for your use case

[tight pulsar]

bruh ghost why you recommend those

[west hornet]

because they nice and similar design to ones you post xD

[rugged lion]

good microphone, budget 400$

[timber ridge]

do you have an audio interface?

[rugged lion]

no and its not for me

[timber ridge]

mv7 is a nice all arounder

can do usb or xlr

and is really good at both

[rugged lion]

aight bet ty

@timber ridge good headphones for like 200 bucks ish

no real budget just dont go too crazy

not a headset

[timber ridge]

recommending headphones is a bit hard

you can use the flowchart in the pinned messages

[rugged lion]

ty

[timber ridge]

Oh mb

milkyToday at 10:57 PM
ah the headphones
𝙇𝙄𝙇 𝙏𝙀𝙀 ®Today at 10:57 PM
Yes
Wait
I might not do the mv7 I probably will just do the hyper x cloud because it has rgb

i dont

[west hornet]

for analytical hd560s for headphone seem decent

[timber ridge]

id skip 990s and get 880s instead

and get 250 max unless he has an amp

[west hornet]

what was the mic for? prefer dynamic or condensor?

[timber ridge]

560s seem p good

and they prefer rgb

so yea lol

[west hornet]

oh my

runs away

[timber ridge]

"I might not do the mv7 I probably will just do the hyper x cloud because it has rgb"

[west hornet]

rgb scary

I might want to get a icon pro as my next mainstream mic

soo pretty

[rugged lion]

what does open or closed mean lmfao

not into headphones if u can believe it or not

[timber ridge]

if hes streaming, he might wanna go for close back

but i doubt itll leak into the mic

unless hes blasting them

[tacit wing]

ok no one's gain is that crazy to pick up sound leak id say

[timber ridge]

youd be surprised

[west hornet]

to get that much sound leak you either have mic gain very high or dangerously high levels in heapdhones

[timber ridge]

ive been in calls where ppl with close back headphones leak into their mic

[tacit wing]

proximity effect and low gain the way to go no?

[rugged lion]

the K371 looks dumb af

lol

[stoic solar]

u look dumb af

gotem

[rugged lion]

hey

not cool

[stoic solar]

[timber ridge]

techie role revoked

[stoic solar]

dang

[tacit wing]

[west hornet]

with mic closer the better, id say 3-5in away. some mics proximity effect is a little too much

[sly warren]

Closed Back Headphones leak less sound, and they tend to end up with a little more Bass than Openbacks.

Openbacks have a better Sound Stage (The "3D" effect you get from headphones) and leak sound like mad.

[rugged lion]

ah o

k

ty

[wanton burrow]

logitech g102 is still a viable choice right?

[sly warren]

For mice? Ehhh...

[wanton burrow]

ye

i wanna spend more on the keyb

[sly warren]

rocketjumpninja website

Why?

[wanton burrow]

idk

[sly warren]

Keebs are way less crucial to a good gaming experience.

[wanton burrow]

ik

[sly warren]

Mice are way more impactful.

[stoic solar]

but they are cool

id rather $10 keeb vs $10 mouse

[sly warren]

I mean, how often do you look at your keyboard while gaming?

[wanton burrow]

good keyb sounds nice to type on

not just for gaming lol

[sly warren]

Depends

Some keebs are silent.

[wanton burrow]

no to geming keybs

[stoic solar]

u can get esports level on a laptop keeb

[sly warren]

Just buy a Keychron.

[wanton burrow]

yes for compact keybs

[timber ridge]

what keyboard are you getting

[stoic solar]

my fave board is my laptops

[wanton burrow]

hmmm

royal kludge rk71

[sly warren]

Ew

Keychron

[wanton burrow]

or if i can add more, keychron k6

[sly warren]

Buy one

[timber ridge]

do you know your grip type

and rk isnt bad

if you can get a viper mini, then id get that

really cheap but super good mouse

[sly warren]

If it fits your hand.

A Viper Mini is like, small enough that I could probably crush it in my hand.

Like, I already claw a Viper Normal.

[timber ridge]

ye viper mini doesnt work for too many ppl

[sly warren]

The Mini is a whole CM shorter, and .3cm thinner

[timber ridge]

but if it works for u then ur in luck lol

[sly warren]

According to RJN I could claw a V Mini

Or even a MM710

But, my next mouse is gonna be a Model O wireless.

Or possibly an Aerox 3 Wireless depending on price.

Yikes, 99.99...

[wanton burrow]

ooooooo

[sly warren]

Oh... but that additional BT connectivity is kinda sexy...

[queen sigil]

Good keebs just sound look and feel better

[wanton burrow]

lmao i forgot to see th hand sizes things

[queen sigil]

unless ur an RGB gremlin

[wanton burrow]

lol

if keeb for gaming just get from a reputable brand and call it a day

but the actual good keebs are ugh

[sly warren]

I might have to cop an Aerox 3 Wireless...

[wanton burrow]

very nice clacks

peak asmr

[timber ridge]

you might wanna wait for the mm731 i think

[sly warren]

It's a bit shorter than the Model O Wireless, and a tiny bit thinner, but it's the same weight, and has added BT functionality.

Why?

[timber ridge]

new wireless mouse coming out

and has bt

dunno if youll like the shape tho

[sly warren]

Hmm... That Ergo shape though...

[timber ridge]

yea

[sly warren]

If it was Aerox 3 shape, I'd be in a better position to cop one.

[timber ridge]

im hoping they make one with a more ambi shape

they already have the mm710, jus needa make it wireless

[sly warren]

Yeah, they should have made a MM711

And just made that the Wireless version

[timber ridge]

itll probably happen sooner or later

[wanton burrow]

ooooo

18x19cm

aight

[sly warren]

Uhh

Did you measure that right?

Because most people don't have square hands.

[wanton burrow]

yes?

bruh

[sly warren]

My hands are 19.5x9.5cm

[timber ridge]

if thats the case

[sly warren]

I think you done f'd up

[timber ridge]

idek what mice to recommend

[sly warren]

You have F'd up somewhere.

[wanton burrow]

ye i'll probably would hold it claw so i'mma just find one myslef

wut

[sly warren]

Did you follow his tutorial on how to measure your hand?

Because nobody's hand is 19cm wide.

[wanton burrow]

mid finger to wrist and palm circumference

[sly warren]

No...

Do what he shows you.

[wanton burrow]

wait wth is this measurements

[sly warren]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVI3mepUHuE&feature=youtu.be

[timber ridge]

my hand measurements are like 18x10

about that

[wanton burrow]

i mean this tape measure

[sly warren]

Follow. the. guide.

[wanton burrow]

ok ok ok

[sly warren]

Get a piece of paper, put your hand flat against it, and a pencil to mark with.

[wanton burrow]

so not hand circumference lmao

ok got it

[sly warren]

Oh... I forgot about the fact that the Aerox 3 doesn't come in White...

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

[wanton burrow]

ok it's 18x8cm

my bad

[timber ridge]

do you know your grip type ?

[wanton burrow]

i think what i looked up was measurement for gloves lmao

[sly warren]

Are you perhaps a child?

[wanton burrow]

claw ig

[timber ridge]

if you use ftip then viper mini

o uh

[wanton burrow]

16yo asian guy

[timber ridge]

whats ur budget ?

[wanton burrow]

hmmm

[timber ridge]

for the mouse

[sly warren]

You can claw a Viper Mini because your hands are tiny and not fully developed.

[wanton burrow]

$25 max

ok bye imma etat

[sly warren]

Do you want a Unicorn while you are at it?

[timber ridge]

the only decent mouse at that price range is the viper mini

[sly warren]

Or the MM710

[timber ridge]

or that

[wanton burrow]

ok ok ok

[sly warren]

Or the Xtrfy M42

[timber ridge]

forgot about that

[wanton burrow]

i'mma look at that later

[timber ridge]

m42 is not in that range im p sure

[sly warren]

Looks like ~60 bucks

[timber ridge]

open

[astral lion]

aight

[timber ridge]

tried putting in my order for 6xx and drop didint let me

not a gamer moment

[rare spear]

anyone know any good headsets for around -35?

[queen sigil]

i dont think there are any good headsets around that range

[charred rapids]

https://www.pcgamingrace.com/products/glorious-gmmk-pro-75-barebone-white-reservation

Thoughts?

It's a really nice hotswap/case

[timber ridge]

i reserved one a few months back

its good on paper and looks promising

[charred rapids]

Lol

It looks really nice and I want a 75%

[timber ridge]

but a lot of enthusiast are not a fan of it bc it clones another keeb

[charred rapids]

Yea ik

But it has more of a curved metal build than the other one

[timber ridge]

the only other thing that comes close to it in price and quality is the id80

[charred rapids]

I assume it should be more ready available since it is coming from Glorious

I hope it's not a group buy system

[timber ridge]

id80 is typically readily available too

[charred rapids]

Oh really

[timber ridge]

and theyre shipping it in groups due to high demand

id80 is not gb based

[charred rapids]

Ah ok

Still prefer the dedicated turn knob on the gmmk

[timber ridge]

coolermaster is also releasing a knob keyboard but im not sure if it will be hotswap

and its 65%

[charred rapids]

I saw that as well from Gearseekers

I'm currently on 65%, not sure if I want to stay 65 or go 75

[timber ridge]

f keys are nice, but not needed imo

id go with whatever looks best in your case

unless you need f keys

[queen sigil]

i have friends who have knobs

and they literally never use it

[tacit wing]

so its just for novelty..

[queen sigil]

i mean im sure some people could find a use for it

but you need like a really specific use in mind

[timber ridge]

volume knob op

[tacit wing]

i wouldnt use it for volume bc i keep Windows volume fixed at 100 and adjust gain through my amp

you ruin some dynamics if your Win volume aint 100

[timber ridge]

yea true i forgot about that

idk what id use it for tbh

mic gain ? idk

[tacit wing]

editors and photoshop mfs can utilize it

like what youd use a scroll wheel with

[cunning hearth]

yes best headphones

[tight pulsar]

oh dang geon is doing gods work again

[rugged lion]

gmmk pro is really nice

prob best budget 75% period

crystal id80 is a counterpart to it but idk

gmmk pro still wins

[wise token]

we dont really know how good the gmmk pro is nobodys reviewed it

[obsidian atlas]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mbmV8A3LxE

not really a complete review since there isnt any durability or time testing

but its a review

[wise token]

oh huh didnt see that

[brisk parcel]

New nickname

Poggers

Y’all can just call me Nick now

[tight pulsar]

oh boy crp r4 live now im gonna spend like 150

its like 375 for all alpha sets

[brisk parcel]

@timber ridge so you recognize 58x is god tier for value? 😂

[timber ridge]

yea, i explored all my options

58x prob best value bc of the price and you dont need a dedicated amp n stuff to drive it

and the bass extension/sub bass on the 58x is better while detail n stuff is better on th 6xx

[brisk parcel]

right on bro

😎

[timber ridge]

blon 05s on drop again

for 35 bucks if anyone is interested

[queen sigil]

are there any sub100 USD open back headphones

that dont need an amp

or should i stick to like porta pros

[daring zenith]

Ur40 seems fun

Porta pros also should be good

[timber ridge]

9500s is coinflip

some ppl love it, some hate it

[timber ridge]

if youre willing to splurge a bit, k361 are really good closebacks for 100 and 58x are really good open back for about 170 or so

[tacit wing]

6xx is alot more for a little bit more and its better value but 58x seems like to align more with your preferences

i wouldnt honestly fork out 170 for anything with 5 series detail

take it from someone who has owned both

[timber ridge]

if youre willing to buy an amp and dac i think 6xx is best value

but if youre goin in with nothing i think 58x best value

[tacit wing]

an apple dongle can drive both adequately

not the same dynamics as a desktop amp but they both just as benefit

[timber ridge]

i lowkey wanna try 6xx with tubes

[tacit wing]

and if i ever do go I HAVE to cop it right then and there bc Schiit shipping fees are booty cheeks

[timber ridge]

can you buy something there while youre at it or do you have to put in an online order first

[tacit wing]

oh yeah you can

[timber ridge]

vali is a hybrid right

[tacit wing]

i dont think Schiit's hybrids are worth it imo

[timber ridge]

yea same

apparently amps influence the 6xx p heavily

wonder how it does with my a50s

[tacit wing]

yes

[small nimbus]

uh

[gloomy berry]

[timber ridge]

dms i would assume

[gloomy berry]

Yeah but....ppl make alts lol

[small nimbus]

[timber ridge]

[sturdy sinew]

okay my friend says that if you have too much base in a headphone and it starts to vibrate and it will be easier for it to break

is this true?

[sharp kindle]

He’s in glorious disc which is where I chat a lot now.

But I asked him and he said he got banned

For using an emote with a very bad nono word in it

[timber ridge]

thats what i was told too, but vintage said he did a lot more

so idk

[gloomy berry]

There was far more than that that was just their 2nd account

[timber ridge]

yea he did have 2 cholax accs in here

[gloomy berry]

The original account doesn't even have that name

[tacit wing]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-endgame-vanished-snap-gif-14044913

Cholax getting beaned from Newegg

[swift lantern]

[timber ridge]

[swift lantern]

SENNHEISER

SIMPAGE

[timber ridge]

thought he only had the cholax one

you anti sennheiser?

[tacit wing]

he had an alt on here i forgot what his name was

that got beaned as well

[stoic solar]

[swift lantern]

lili even they couldn't find one of the songs I wanted

pain, agony even

[stoic solar]

[timber ridge]

day 2 and i still cant put my order in for 6xx

good times

really dont wanna call my bank

[tacit wing]

even the 58x?

anything at all from Drop

[timber ridge]

i havent tried the 58x

[swift lantern]

the universe decided to save you the trouble

[tacit wing]

shhhhhh

[timber ridge]

i think i hve to check out to find out if the 58x works

[tacit wing]

do you have chase

[timber ridge]

nope

[tacit wing]

they freeze your acct if you do alot of transactions in a given amount of time

thats what happened to me when i spent too much on gacha

[timber ridge]

rip

if im forced to order off of amazon, my options are 4xx, 400i, dt880, sundaras,hd560s

[tacit wing]

Sundaras

[swift lantern]

out of those I'd go sundaras

[tacit wing]

theres really no reason for the 4xx and 400i to be in that list if you can get a Sundara

[timber ridge]

ye tru

if i get a cheaper option ill prob get k361s along with them

unless its the dt880s

[tacit wing]

alot of compromises in midfi planars in general, Sundaras seems to have the least of them

[timber ridge]

ima keep trying at drop for awhile b4 i decide again

[tacit wing]

hifiman's entry level planars specifically

trying buying something else to see if its not a bank problem

[timber ridge]

on drop or in general ?

[tacit wing]

anything rlly

go to your corner store or something LMAO

[timber ridge]

jus gonna order a case for my phone

lowkey need one anyway

[queen sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/spiderman-death-dissolved-infinity-war-avengers-gif-18666629

more like this

[timber ridge]

welp my order hasnt been cancelled yet so i dont think its the bank

[tacit wing]

https://youtu.be/1YBNX0HmAQQ

[abstract shard]

bruh wot

cholax banned?

[queen sigil]

lol yeah

a while ago

[abstract shard]

i guess i hadn't seem em around for awhile yea

[trim flicker]

...What is Cholax, asking for a friend

[timber ridge]

a person

[abstract shard]

just a person who was quite active here

[trim flicker]

Ah, I see

[queen sigil]

not really active

he was just a person

[swift lantern]

"textureless bass"

said it's competitive with ananda though

[timber ridge]

the gold planars?

[wide gull]

Hi all

🙂

[trim flicker]

🙃

Bye none

[wide gull]

who knows a good speakers

my budget is 100-200$

[swift lantern]

yeah he said if you don't mind it's fr it's competetive with ananda

but he said the sundara have better bass, but the gold planars are a bit more punchy

I'm not sure which I value more..

[timber ridge]

that one statement lowkey helped

i talked to someone on offerup who owned a few pairs and he said sundaras do p much everything the 6xx do but better

of course you gtta take everything with a grain of salt, but seems p epic to me

[swift lantern]

phantoms do that too

unga bunga

[timber ridge]

i wonder how sundaras, phantoms and aeons compare ?

[swift lantern]

aeons?

oh those weird shaped ones

[timber ridge]

if you consider non circular weird then ye

[swift lantern]

but they're not even an egg they're like

a rounded triangle

[timber ridge]

ye

[swift lantern]

which aeon

would you want to compare them too

[timber ridge]

mass drop one bc its in the price range

unless there is more in that price range

[swift lantern]

there's a guy selling aeon flow for $300 on ebay

[timber ridge]

idk how they compare

[tacit wing]

Sundaras fall short in timbre and tonality where the 6xx delivers

Sundaras have a sparkle in the treble where the 6xx doesnt have and Sundaras have better detail and res all throughout

but doesnt have the same balance and evenness in the midrange

so what im sayin is, forget everything else and choose between those two

[timber ridge]

drop really doing me dirty

[tacit wing]

i want to sell 5xx and save up some change for Sundaras

but man diminishing returns kicking my booty if i keep selling stuff

[swift lantern]

stop coming up with nonsense to defend 6xx please

[timber ridge]

some jordans dropping too which are tempting me

[tacit wing]

man you still living that life lance

[timber ridge]

im not

[swift lantern]

[timber ridge]

but its tempting

[tacit wing]

you cant juggle two of those hobbies at once

[abstract shard]

imagine caring about shoes

[tacit wing]

?

[timber ridge]

im juggling so many hobbies rn

[tacit wing]

found the socks and sandals guy

[abstract shard]

lmao

not that far

[timber ridge]

might get my gf some shoes too

if i can secure them

[timber ridge]

rip

[tacit wing]

what did you order

[timber ridge]

those are my keycaps

[tawny sequoia]

how do you pronounce keychron?

[timber ridge]

key kron

[tawny sequoia]

not kekron

thats lame

[timber ridge]

tragic

[tawny sequoia]

truely

[tacit wing]

bruh

HK Mira series mice couldnt keep up with the Hati's so what did HK do?

make fake Hatis

[timber ridge]

hk has been doing some sketchy stuff

[rugged lion]

what site is that

also yeah hk is... scummy

but their keycaps are good lol

one day everything is gonna come crashing down for them

they will prob just rebrand tho and eveything will continue like regular

[tacit wing]

not a site but a reputable mouse reviewer Boardzy retweeted it on my TL

[rugged lion]

our company's website

?

[tacit wing]

[west hornet]

hmm nyc not too far

[thick plank]

Lex are supposed to be good but I don't think I would pay that much for them

Used atleast not

2 more days before my 303 comes in

[brisk parcel]

GL2000s double sided are god tier

change my mind

jk I don't own them yet

but I will

also, day 3 of covid, I can barely taste/smell. getting up is a difficult task

I have the lung capacity of a lifetime smoker

shortness of breath is real, I have seen the light

[tacit wing]

oh no

[brisk parcel]

oh no indeed

[tight pulsar]

hk gaming is a sketchy company that steals

[stoic solar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoiaLRwuac4

@daring zenith oh no the normies found keychron

[queen sigil]

LMAO

[daring zenith]

@stoic solar it's okay, as long as the Keychron cult grows

[tight pulsar]

retuning stabs is annoying

also rip i have 1 purple durock and the rest black cherry clip ins it looks bad

[sly warren]

Man, I hate choosing between things...

Do I get a Model O Wireless, or an Aerox 3 Wireless?

The Aerox 3W has Bluetooth mode for using it seamlessly with my laptop, while the MOW comes in White.

[daring zenith]

m o w

[sly warren]

But... Bluetooth...

Being able to just go from using my Desktop to my Laptop is pretty friggin cool.

And I could use it for my HTPC when I get that up and running.

[west hornet]

say goodbye to keychron prices

[tacit wing]

Aerox has worse QC and PTFE feet which is unacceptably thin. The only reason to go for the Aerox honestly is for that shape which is better for claw than the MOW

https://www.reddit.com/r/MouseReview/comments/k2pitk/steelseries_aerox_3_review_mashup/

this mashup says it all

Aerox 3 Wireless had a pretty scuffed launch id say, even the review units reviewers got had pretty bad creaking and other QC issues

which was kinda expected bc this is the first time SS dipped their toes into honeycomb mice

Glorious is a more experienced brand in that regard

[sly warren]

Wait... How did the bot not scrub that?

Weird.

Anyways. Fork... I guess I'll buy the MOW.

[wanton burrow]

/ /

[daring zenith]

what?

[sly warren]

I just kinda wished I could go for the A3W because of the Bluetooth.

[tacit wing]

ill be more optimistic on the Aerox 5 if SS learned their lesson

[sly warren]

The Bot didn't remove my f-bomb.

[gloomy berry]

👀

yeah it did lol

[sly warren]

Normally the bot is all like "Don't swear in my Christian Discord Server"

No, I did.

[daring zenith]

mee6 been kinda weird recently

[sly warren]

I removed it to follow the rules.

[daring zenith]

bot hosting service might be down or smth

[sly warren]

Fair.

[gloomy berry]

Weird, it says it did. MEE6 had a brain fart lol

[sly warren]

I didn't get a DM, that's for sure.

[tacit wing]

Brandon Taylor's Aerox unit was exceptionally bad, he was pressing down on the bottom panel and it is somehow changing DPI lol

[sly warren]

If the MM731 wasn't Ergo, I'd probably buy it.

[tacit wing]

its a shame bc its such a great shape

[timber ridge]

let hope the mm731 doesnt get launched with horrible qc

[bright kayak]

hero

anyone know any good wireless keyboards

[clear lichen]

Anyone here have a Keychron keyboard?

how does it compare to like a stock $5 keyboard

[daring zenith]

very good

[clear lichen]

I imagine there's a big difference

[daring zenith]

also

what keyboard is going to be 5$ lmao

[clear lichen]

Well I got this one for free

[bright kayak]

5 below lol

[daring zenith]

can't imagine what the 5 below keeb feels like

it's just gonna be plastic on plastic, who cares about membrane or mechanical switches >:P

[bright kayak]

mr111

[clear lichen]

This is the free one I have

[daring zenith]

I respond with my k8

[bright kayak]

what currency is it in

[clear lichen]

Nice

Imma get the C2 when it's available again

[timber ridge]

laptop keyboards hit differently tho

[bright kayak]

im looking for a full size

[daring zenith]

K4

[bright kayak]

fax

[clear lichen]

the C2 is a full size Keychron

[bright kayak]

ok

[daring zenith]

K4 is basically full

94%

[timber ridge]

i have a flow chart

[bright kayak]

what currency is it in

[daring zenith]

USD

[timber ridge]

with p much all keychrons on it

[clear lichen]

K4 is 96%, C2 is actually full

[bright kayak]

o damn

[daring zenith]

thought it was 94%

smh

[daring zenith]

tbh c1 prob never coming back

[timber ridge]

might help with picking a keychron

[daring zenith]

I love tkl as a layout tho

[clear lichen]

Yeah imma just go with a c2

I literally have only felt laptop keyboards and this hunk of finger numbing junk

[bright kayak]

c2 is wired oof

[clear lichen]

yeah but I'm not gonna take it to the other side of the room

[daring zenith]

any k- is wireless

[clear lichen]

being wired aint an issue

[daring zenith]

c1 c2 are their wired options

[clear lichen]

just want my 3 partitions

[timber ridge]

never looked into the c lineup, wonder if they have a thinner housing

[daring zenith]

don't think so

seems same as k

[timber ridge]

their k series a little thicc

[clear lichen]

This is the pic for the C series

I just want a full size honestly

I don't really get the appeal of tiny keyboards

I'll prob try one in the future but for now fullsize is better for me

[timber ridge]

atleast they got it right with darker mods and lighter alphas

[bright kayak]

also which switches are the quietest

[daring zenith]

side note:

[timber ridge]

silent switches

[daring zenith]

linears usually quietest

@timber ridge aren't yellows quiet or am I misremembering again

(gonna say gat)

[bright kayak]

yuh

what best silent switch

[timber ridge]

yellows are linear

[bright kayak]

me no want no CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK

[daring zenith]

as in, quiet even for linears

[timber ridge]

if you consider linear quiet, then they would be

and ig it depends on how you type

[wanton burrow]

oof no gk61 pcb on stocks

[timber ridge]

with linears, besides spring sounds, youre jus gonna hear it button out

[daring zenith]

This is what stock tactile switches can sound like

not loud not bad

[bright kayak]

ive never even have touched a mechanical keyboard before

[daring zenith]

clicky (blues) trash tho

[clear lichen]

Like I wanna buy it now, and I could if I was alright with white backlight

but i really want those RGBs

[wanton burrow]

lol

ar gee bee

eats

ppl

[timber ridge]

if you get deep enough into keyboards

[bright kayak]

rgb adds performance

[timber ridge]

youll learn that rgb doesnt look good with good keycaps

[bright kayak]

wait u dont want rgb?

[timber ridge]

depends on my keycaps

[clear lichen]

yeah I get that, but it's the only thing keeping me from getting the Logitech g910

[bright kayak]

ah

[wanton burrow]

most good looking caps were pbt

[clear lichen]

that monster is beautiful

[timber ridge]

if im using stock keycaps then i dont mind

[wanton burrow]

rgb + pbt

eh

not always good

[timber ridge]

but if im gonna be investing in nice keycaps like gmk set or so, typically i like it with no backlight

heres an example

jus looks a bit wonky imo

[daring zenith]

stock keychron caps nice

rgb also nice

:P

[wanton burrow]

is that pbt keycaps

[clear lichen]

Like I'd get this

but these key caps ugly af

[timber ridge]

yea, helps that it has shine thru keycaps

[tight pulsar]

okay keyboard people here listen up

[wanton burrow]

lol

[daring zenith]

yea the k4 version 1 keycaps are wack

[timber ridge]

and i cant them if theyre pbt by looking at them

[tacit wing]

[wanton burrow]

coral keycaps look so good

[tacit wing]

[tight pulsar]

how many of you know what the og holy pandas are made from

[daring zenith]

keeeeb

[wanton burrow]

[wanton burrow]

i kinda like that zealios switch

[timber ridge]

[wanton burrow]

[timber ridge]

zeals are super expensive

[clear lichen]

I want this unicorn barf mf

[wanton burrow]

crisp low pitch clacks

[clear lichen]

but I was warded off of it

[wanton burrow]

oh wait it's not zealios

[wanton burrow]

oh ye

[timber ridge]

moyu blacks**

[wanton burrow]

teal

[timber ridge]

[wanton burrow]

[timber ridge]

[wanton burrow]

oh

[clear lichen]

What do you guys think of the Gateron Brown Switches?

[wanton burrow]

thought it was that rubik's brand

[timber ridge]

could possibly be one too

and gat browns are decent

[clear lichen]

alright cool

What's the best switch out there do you guys think

[timber ridge]

the hobby is all about preference so there really isnt a one best switch

[wanton burrow]

wait i think 10pack tealios were like $14.6 here

[timber ridge]

but there is a lot of popular switches that get used a lot in builds

and yea, zeals are v pricey

[clear lichen]

alright

[wanton burrow]

buy a switch tester and look thorugh yt

see what sounds best for you

[clear lichen]

https://www.amazon.com/Max-Keyboard-Mechanical-Keyswitch-Labeled/dp/B089P1L1TX/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=Switch+tester&qid=1611721128&sr=8-7

I might as well just game on this it's so expensive

[timber ridge]

its 60 o kbd

but they have 20 dollar shipping, so more like 80 lol

[clear lichen]

yeah lol

[timber ridge]

their tactile switch tester is really nice

[clear lichen]

Damn seems like every Keychron keyboard with RGB that I want is outta stock

[timber ridge]

chances are, tactiles are gonna feel p similar to each other

[clear lichen]

yeah

[timber ridge]

but finding the right tactile is a bit harder

[wanton burrow]

which lube should i buy

[clear lichen]

Have you guys ever had to wait for a keychron to come back in stock?

[timber ridge]

depends on your switch

[clear lichen]

how does it usually take

[wanton burrow]

ok i see

[timber ridge]

dont own a keychron, so im not sure

[stoic solar]

depends on the switch

[queen sigil]

ive never waited for an out of stock thing from keychron

[valid oracle]

Judge me for this but I really like alienwares stuff

[timber ridge]

alienware has nice monitors

[clear lichen]

I got an Alienware R9 rn and it's serving me right

[wanton burrow]

k6 hotswap comes with keycap and switch remover?

[queen sigil]

Depends if you order a hotswap model

and alienware makes good monitors

and thats about it

[wanton burrow]

yea a hotswap model

[valid oracle]

Eh, I like their mice and keyboards

[clear lichen]

This is what I'm using rn

[valid oracle]

cant afford the monitors

[queen sigil]

My k2 came with a switch puller

[queen sigil]

they have RGB

and thats about all the upsides

[abstract shard]

Lmao

[queen sigil]

Poor build quality, overpriced, cheap parts

plegh

[valid oracle]

Im still living off the first alienware gaming mouse

[vernal plinth]

Oooh

That is not fun

[clear lichen]

These alienware monitors are overpriced af

[abstract shard]

I find that their stuff is very overpriced

[timber ridge]

bruh i knew a quiet kid in hs who saved up for like a few years for a alienware and got majorly ripped off

[queen sigil]

they are good monitors

[vernal plinth]

Actually i did find a good deal once

[timber ridge]

i felt bad, but didnt wanna bring him down

[queen sigil]

Alienware computers are also meh

[clear lichen]

I got my Computer for like half price on Ebay

[queen sigil]

I mean their laptops are good portable gaming machines

[vernal plinth]

For some reason dell is highest rated monitor comp.

[queen sigil]

for a really hefty price

[valid oracle]

Alienware is pretty much a designer company

Looks nice, might last a while

[vernal plinth]

They make me money so i cant hate them

[timber ridge]

its like every school's go to computer

[clear lichen]

It has RTX 2070S, intel i7 9700 3.0Ghz for like $1500

[vernal plinth]

We have HP but my middle school broke AF bc alaska doesn’t fund anyt

[neon quartz]

Leyo#0001 has been warned

Reason: Duplicated text

[queen sigil]

fricking

music book on my keyboard

[clear lichen]

lol

[queen sigil]

but I mean when it comes to prebuilts

[vernal plinth]

Alienwares are garbage, overpriced and filled with bloat, it is for that reason i find them in the dump and make a LOT of money on them

[stoic solar]

their displays are nice and their laptops are alright

[queen sigil]

main specs arent exactally

[stoic solar]

their desktops are literal trash tier tho

[queen sigil]

Desktops are always like

300w PSU

[stoic solar]

if u find an old alienware laptop lmk they seem fun to mess with

[queen sigil]

rando HDD+SSD

generic mobo

single channel ram

etc

[timber ridge]

yea, i think they let you check out power hungry parts with a 300w psu

[vernal plinth]

Lol, trying to score a real old one to fk around with

[timber ridge]

and i think their options is liek 300w or 850w

[vernal plinth]

Pent4 shiz

[timber ridge]

nothing in between if i remember correctly

[queen sigil]

pentium 3s look nice

[vernal plinth]

Lol have a lot

Pent 2s look the best tho

Look it up

[queen sigil]

-----+

[vernal plinth]

They are a card- based CPU

[clear lichen]

I think this one has 700w PSU, Micron 2300 512GB, Generic alienware mobo but with a seperate display card with like 3 dp and 1 hdmi

[vernal plinth]

Actually have had success with dell PSUs

Not all proprietary

Have it on one of my benches

[timber ridge]

psus are coinflip

[vernal plinth]

Kinda

[timber ridge]

my gf has a thermaltake smart psu, bc she bought all her parts at a bestbuy

and no problems

[vernal plinth]

I like TT psus

[timber ridge]

their gf1 or whatever are really nice

[vernal plinth]

I have an old antek PSU running a 3080 no sweat

[timber ridge]

but their smart series is known for being not the best

[vernal plinth]

Kinda

[timber ridge]

yea the stories about them is it either runs fine, or it gg'd

[vernal plinth]

The only new PSU i have had problems with are the seasonic golds

[timber ridge]

the focus series ?

[vernal plinth]

Yea

[timber ridge]

rip

[vernal plinth]

I really thought they were great i am prob just unlucky
