#

nah, it was honestly kinda trash

#

9 volt batteries don't have much for millamp hours

timber ridge
#

oh rip

gloomy berry
#

Wow, 371's on sale still

#

less than the DAC XD

timber ridge
#

theyre some of the best closeback under 500

gloomy berry
#

Ye, I have them in my cart

timber ridge
#

ordered a zen can, gonna do an a/b comparison

gloomy berry
#

HOly cow that thing can drive some cans lol

timber ridge
#

yea it got a price drop

#

kinda weird considering a lot of audiophile products got a price bump due to tariffs

gloomy berry
#

Hmmmm, only $20 more than the DAC

#

Ah but not USB input

timber ridge
#

its 20 more, but you would have to purchase a standalone dac

gloomy berry
#

Yep

timber ridge
#

so more like 120 more or so depending on what you decide to go with

#

some ppl do mid range amp+dongle

#

then upgrade to a standalone dac in the future

west hornet
#

optical gang

gloomy berry
#

Yeah I have optical out but also don't want Realtek to have any control over anything lol

west hornet
#

and this is where I discover i had my output device on 44.1kHz 16bit

umbral dock
#

Any recommendations for a keyboard? I'm looking for TKL, Cherry MX Red, with PBT keycaps

timber ridge
umbral dock
#

Gotcha, ty

timber ridge
#

np

little crater
#

ive read good things about this

#

prolly gonna get it

timber ridge
#

topping makes good stuff

#

i have the upgraded version of that

little crater
#

the modi 3 is apparently about the same, but i like the look of this more

timber ridge
#

does that come with a remote too ?

little crater
#

dont know, but i dont really need a remote

#

but i also noticed that its usb powered, so i might not get it

timber ridge
#

i didnt think i needed one but its pretty op

#

topping e30 uses an ac adapter

little crater
#

hmmmmm do you think the e30 is worth 50 more than the modi 3+ tho?

#

from what im seeing i dont think it would be

timber ridge
#

not really tbh

#

from what i looked up, they e30 outperforms the competition but you wont really notice unless you d an a/b comparison

#

but schiit shipping prices might close up the gap a bit bc e30 is readily available on amazon

#

you could also join the zen dac train and use it as a dac

#

monolith makes good stuff too

tight pulsar
#

so basically get whichever you like better

timber ridge
#

yea jus settle for the modi tbh

#

if you look into it more, its gonna harder to decide

little crater
#

dont like the look of the zen lol

#

i like the topping e30 the best so far

timber ridge
#

i can vouch for it

#

its good lol

#

i have my amp gain set pretty high and jus use the remote to adjust volume

#

its op

little crater
#

its old and not even that good anymore compared to the modi 3 lol

#

but its large and matches the mk3

#

but i cant find em used anywhere

#

then this makes me angry

#

because it sold for like nothing, and i just barely missed it

tame canopy
#

anyone know a good mouse? Im looking for something decent, works well for gameing, but i dont care about the gimicky rbg

timber ridge
#

that depends on your grip type

#

pinned messages may help you find your grip type

timber ridge
little crater
timber ridge
#

that dac is huge lmao

little crater
#

it do be a decade old lmao

#

so its not even worth a hundred

#

but any place that still sells em lists them for msrp or more

timber ridge
#

little crater
timber ridge
#

u should get 6xx lol

#

especially since ur running tubes

little crater
#

toooooooo late my pockets are already 398 dollars emptier

timber ridge
#

from the amp?

little crater
#

from the headphones

timber ridge
#

oof

#

i think the only expensive headphones id consider buying rn are teaks or sundaras

#

maybe aeons

tight pulsar
#

taeks

timber ridge
#

probably closeback end game

swift lantern

gloomy berry

swift lantern
#

timber ridge
swift lantern

timber ridge
#

#

how bad could a $12 tkl kit be from taobao

fluid dew
#

anyone have the Glorious model O wireless, looking to switch from my g305 since it is a bit too small

gloomy berry
#

NOOOOOOO

#

Somehow I ordered the iFi Bluetooth DAC instead of the Zen Dac. Gotta wait until Monday now. ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

dense radish
#

What's a good wired/wireless keyboard with sturdy keys for less than $100?

wanton burrow
#

hmmmm

#

idk maybe tecware phantom lineup?

#

the phantom tkl and full is braided wired

#

can also give it phantom shroud (case cover that is magnetic)

#

idk but somehow the phantom b68 ain't out globally yet?

#

idk but i can buy it here coz iirc tecware is a filipino brand

#

so yea

#

tecware phantoms is around the $50-60 pricepoint

#

idk if anne or ducky is still good, but hundredbucks would already give u a great keeb

#

@dense radish i suggest taking a look on tecware phantom or keychrons

#

keychrons is a lil more on expensive sub-100 side

#

phantoms seems to recieve nice reviews

#

and it's hotswappable iirc

wanton burrow
#

ok so no phantom b68 globally yet

#

iirc they said maybe q2 2021 it'll go outside

#

but ig it's still just available here in ph

#

#

yea the tkl is a good one too if u ever want a hotswap one

#

go for keychrons/redragon k530/royal kludges/geek gk61 (also known as skyloong, just diff name idk why)

#

there's some gk61 with gateron optical yellows and silvers that's great for gaming

dense radish
#

Hmm, adding the Tecware Phantom + the color choice of swappable keys + choice of shroud comes to $87.

#

Which doesn't sound that bad a price.

daring zenith
#

@fluid dew I have a model o wireless, it's good, only complaint is squeaky scroll wheels

#

@wanton burrow keychron C2, which is ~60$ before shipping for hotswap, was in stock recently, hell, the non-hotswap is in stock right now for 50$ before shipping if necessary.

dense radish
#

Ah wait, the Keychron's doing have Print Screen/Scroll Lock/Pause keys. That's a deal breaker for me.

daring zenith
#

Uh what

#

@dense radish what do you mean..? If you mean they don't have it, that depends on the board, the C2 is a full sized keyboard with prtscrn, scroll, numpad, everything

dense radish
#

The square, the mic and the light buttons atop the Insert/Home/PgUP keys replaced the keys I mentioned above.

tight pulsar
#

imagine having a nav cluster Yawy

queen sigil
#

nachos im gonna get a 40% person in here just to say something like "imagine having number keys"

daring zenith
#

@dense radish insert and home and all are still in there, the "square" is actually just print screen with a different symbol, I have a Keychron K8, windows natively recognizes that "square" key as print screen

queen sigil
#

@calm cobalt basically just depends on ur grip type, hand size, budget, etc

#

try reading pins

#

and if you don't know your hand size then measure it

#

and "low" budget really doesn't mean anything for anyone

dense radish
#

Those are the three buttons.

queen sigil
#

do u really need printscreen that bad

dense radish
#

Who the heck doesn't? I have screen grabs to consider.

queen sigil
#

like cant you use use other ways of screenshotting

dense radish
#

Not a fan of hotkeying.

queen sigil
#

I just use win+shift+s

#

works fine for me

#

and gives me more options

dense radish
queen sigil
#

i mean there's that and like window capture and full screen capture

#

different choices at the top

dense radish
#

I noticed.

opal mesa
#

sup guys

queen sigil
#

hi?

west hornet
#

nice macbook air

daring zenith
#

@dense radish Again, that "square" key IS PRNT SCRN

#

just doesn't say prnt scrn

sharp kindle
daring zenith
#

having a dedicated key for screenshots

#

I can't imagine moving to 60% ever

#

It's the sole reason I went TKL and bought a Keychron K8 over like a 60% board like a gk61

sharp kindle
#

You have to manually crop though

gloomy berry
#

Yeah

daring zenith
#

nah

#

I use lightshot

gloomy berry
#

If you could set it to only capture one screen

daring zenith
#

You can

#

alt-prntscrn only captures the active window

gloomy berry
#

LIES

sharp kindle
#

Personally like win shift s more

gloomy berry
#

Ok, it does

#

still have to paste it into Paint or something though

sharp kindle
#

Yeah you can just capture what you want with win shift s

gloomy berry
#

I like having both options though

#

didn't know about the alt thing

daring zenith
#

fair, but I love having prtscr

gloomy berry
#

TBH, when I'm in games, I just use Shadowplay

daring zenith
#

me too

gloomy berry
#

Or for other stuff snipping tool

daring zenith
#

but I use lightshot for screenshots

#

I don't use shadowplay for pictures, but for videos

gloomy berry
#

Ahhh

#

I use it for both

daring zenith
#

but anyways lightshot giving me a simple interface with a dedicated screenshot key allowing me to draw on the screenshot is amazing

#

AND I can take 1x1 pixel screenshots

#

like this

Usps still says awaiting package

timber ridge

i would take all expected delivery dates with a grain of salt

errant falcon
#

errant falcon

errant falcon

It's just stupid

swift lantern
#

hey you do realize they call come from china right

tight pulsar
#

@timber ridge whats the other amp?

timber ridge
#

zen can in the back

tight pulsar
#

ic

timber ridge
#

zen can has a more "fun sound"

#

a50s is really transparent

#

etc

gloomy berry
#

Interesting

#

The HyperX cans sound better than the AKG's on the HyperX dongle

timber ridge
#

i find the a50s a bit boring sometimes

#

zen can makes things a bit more lively

#

especially with the xbass

gloomy berry
#

Yeah

#

That will be here Tuesday

timber ridge
#

although even without it, i think it has more bass

gloomy berry
#

Gonna try direct to PC via realtek now

#

Def not than my HyperX cans

#

HyperX also has more output at same volume level

timber ridge
#

zen really brings out the low end in the akgs

gloomy berry
#

I read about break in also though

timber ridge
#

sub bass is wayyy more noticeable

gloomy berry
#

Takes some time

timber ridge
#

some ppl think burn in is a myth

gloomy berry
#

I will say the AKG's are def more clear

#

HyperX has more punch

#

definitely

tight pulsar
#

hell yeah gamer headphones

timber ridge
#

if you feel like youre lacking that, zen dac will fix that easily lmao

gloomy berry
#

Well

#

I'm also connected to the HyperX USB dongle

#

Gonna try direct to output

#

Then again when my DAC gets here

#

OH wow

#

Direct to motherboard instead of Dongle is way different

stoic solar
#

vintage what music u like

#

do u want a flac

royal sandal
#

Is an amp worth it or should I just keep my headphones as is?

timber ridge
#

depends on what gear you have

stoic solar
#

depends if u care abt stupid idiot baby audio stuff

timber ridge
#

but a dac/amp will make any headphones better

royal sandal
#

Real Kraken Ultimate hours

#

Great headphones but overpriced

#

As Razer tends to be

stoic solar
#

actually

timber ridge
#

i would invest in headphones b4 you dive in and get a dac etc

stoic solar
#

not even great headphones

#

razer literally makes like 2 products that can be considered good

#

and theyre both mice

timber ridge
#

pretty much

stoic solar
#

i mean their mousepads are ok

timber ridge
#

corsair does almost everything right but peripherals

#

and kinda hard to scew up a mousepad

stoic solar
#

yeah im just giving them as much credit as possible

timber ridge
#

im trying really hard to think of something

#

they make really good egirl gear

stoic solar
#

the blade if you get one that doesnt break entirely?

#

so like

#

the blade with a 25% chance

timber ridge
#

dont they have a decent egpu

stoic solar
#

again

#

those are like mousepads

timber ridge
#

razer is down bad

stoic solar
#

like

#

its not even the best egpu

#

esp not for that price

timber ridge
#

o

#

their hammerhead earphones

#

i heard the pros were decent

stoic solar
#

theyre alr actually

#

i used to have a sonnet one

#

if u look tho theyre all expensive vs the other ones

#

like the saturn pro is objectively better

timber ridge
#

oof

stoic solar
#

for same price

#

razer literally does nothing well

timber ridge
#

except mice

stoic solar
#

yeah mice i guess

queen sigil
#

i mean im pretty sure they have 100% of the "gaming gum" market

stoic solar
#

as long as they have a steady supply of 14 year olds wanting to game

#

theyll be fine

queen sigil
little crater
#

me when they use a noun as an adjective cringe

gloomy berry
#

hmmmm

#

I need my DAC lol

#

Cuz right now the Revolvers sound better no matter what I do

timber ridge
#

i think my ears are slowly becoming more cursed

#

a lotta of stuff is starting to sound trash to me bc my gear

gloomy berry
#

I have sensitive ears already

#

I'm picky about sounds

timber ridge
#

i thought i was gonna forsure like the zen can more bc it has more bass

gloomy berry
#

Spent so many years playing music

timber ridge
#

now im not sure

cunning hearth
#

my hearing age is 28

#

and im 15

#

is that bad

timber ridge
#

ssenti ur ears aging in dog years

gloomy berry
#

Listening to too much loud music lol

cunning hearth
#

but i honestly dont lmao

timber ridge
#

man i wanna pick a pair of open backs but my pc has this dumb issue

#

so im most likely gonna spend on new parts

gloomy berry
#

i can't do open backs

#

Wife doing school stuff 3 feet from me

small nimbus
queen sigil
#

what the heck is "hearing age"

little crater
#

prolly has to do with a persons audible frequency range

small nimbus
#

probably some degenerative scale of hearing ability associated with age

little crater
#

like apparently most old people cant hear sounds over 16khz

gloomy berry
#

Except I still can

#

I also take really good care of my ears. Any power equipment gets earplugs or muffs, etc

cunning hearth
#

yea, its like the younger you are, the higher sounds you can hear

timber ridge
#

yup

cunning hearth
#

i do stand next to lawn mowers and stuff without ear protection occasionally

gloomy berry
#

I have to get hearing tests for my CDL

timber ridge
#

its bc how the hair sensory things are positioned

gloomy berry
#

Doc always suprised at what I can hear

timber ridge
#

forgot the correct term for it

#

but the sensors that detect low end is behind the sensors that detect high end

gloomy berry
#

Ahhhhh

#

There we go

#

Realtek Control Panel, DTS settings

#

Ohhhhh yeaaaaahhhhh

#

There we be

timber ridge
#

is it sounding better?

gloomy berry
#

Ye, I found the PROPER settings for it

#

For some reason I had to go into Realtek DTS to get to the EQ

#

Already better

#

Linsey Stirling sounding good now

timber ridge
#

your hyperx dongle prob has a stock eq ment for the headset

gloomy berry
#

It does

#

doesn't work well with the AKG's for sure

#

Muddy and poopy

#

Same ohm load, same size drivers in both sets of cans

timber ridge
#

akgs have the harman curve or whatever

gloomy berry
#

HyperX less response and range

#

Def more accurate

timber ridge
#

apparently scientist did research and there is a specific sound that humans like

gloomy berry
#

Need the DAC though for some more punch

timber ridge
#

and the akgs are tuned based off that graph

gloomy berry
#

Realtek ain't cutting the mustard in that department

#

Need some POWAH

timber ridge
#

unfortunate that you ordered the wrong dac

gloomy berry
#

#

AH well, easy Amazon return

Ok, yeah, now they're sounding better than the HyperX revolvers

timber ridge
#

nicee

timber ridge
#

and it wasnt too crazy

gloomy berry
#

Yeah, just need the DAC now for some sub bass punch

#

Clearer and better for sure

timber ridge
#

youre gonna get way more than sub bass punch

#

youre gonna get two left hooks and an uppercut lol

gloomy berry
#

Fantastic

#

my home theater rattles the glasses on the wall lol

#

But it sounds soooooo good

timber ridge
#

sub bass is really nice

#

one reason why i love iems so much

#

my oh10 has a lot of sub bass

#

and its clean, doenst bleed into the mids really either

gloomy berry
#

OH man the AKG IEM's that came with my Samsung are POG

#

I know you don't like EDM but check out Linsey Stirling. Fantastic violinist mixed with some electronica

timber ridge
#

i dont hate edm, i jus kinda grew out of it

#

but listening rn

#

ill try it with my akgs lol

gloomy berry
#

Ye

timber ridge
#

oooo

#

tried without the bass boost it sounded good

#

but with it

#

gives it the extra oomph in the low end

gloomy berry
#

Yes

#

I honestly love most of her music

#

It NEEDS the bass boost

gloomy berry
#

Sigh. I'm realizing all my music sucks because it's old MP3 stuff

timber ridge
#

lili can prob help with that lol

gloomy berry
#

I mean Spotify seems to be good quality too

timber ridge
#

yea spotify is a nice alternative

gloomy berry
#

I could rerip all my stuff from CD

BUt i has no drive LMAO

Spotify hurts my soul

#

Lindsey Stirling is nice

gloomy berry
#

FLAC that much better?

west hornet
#

I cry everytime a ad repeats, and idk abou tthe quality for some reason it bothers me, still cant figure out exactly why

gloomy berry
#

OHHHH

No ads ๐Ÿ™‚

I also realized WinAmp kinda sucks audio quality wise

#

Whatever processor they use isn't very good

#

Wow, Musicbee sounds good

Man, seems like Realtek can't drive these cans at all

That bluetooth dac plus my home theater makes my ears happy

pretty sure that was before he opened the store tho

west hornet
rugged lion
#

oh

#

I really wanted to use these switches in a few of my builds, but couldn't find them in stock in the US. So.. I did what any other rational person would and ordered bulk from Gateron. Now I definitely don't need 4000 switches (I've already subtracted what I needed from the total amount). Hopefully, there are other people in the community who want these as well. I'm asking retail + shipping for them.

#

ur right

gloomy berry
#

You using a USB 2.0 cable or 3.0?

#

2.0 port or 3.0 or doesn't matter?

west hornet
#

mmm i think it was a 3.0

gloomy berry
#

Ok good

#

Was doing some reading and even though DAC's don't use the bandwidth, 3.0 provides better signal

#

Now i'm paranoid mine will do it when it gets here lol

west hornet
#

lol

gloomy berry
#

So, found a couple more things

#

USB drivers can make or break the sound

#

If you're using windows versions, grab them from the mobo manufacturer

#

Grab a couple different versions just in case

west hornet
#

rn I have 2 external soundcards, for schiit I have connected to pc via optical and for motu via usb 2/3 the problematic one atm is the motu rn i just tried lowering sample rate and upping buffer

gloomy berry
#

Optical is electrically isolated from the PC

#

So if that works, but the Motu doesn't, it's a ground plane issue

#

Probably need an iFi Defender for that or USB drivers

west hornet
#

still under investigation haha

gloomy berry
#

I know for sure the Schitt Wyrd would fix your issue but $400 lol

west hornet
gloomy berry
#

Yup

#

iFi Defender do the same thing for $50

#

If I have issues I'm getting one

gloomy berry
#

She asked me what was wrong with it. I just said it was bluetooth and had no headphone jack and it was for connecting phones. She asked, could we use it on the home theater?

#

She's kinda awesome.

I was just gonna buy a new receiver lol

timber ridge
#

vintage becoming an ifi enthusiast

gloomy berry
#

So I could also do HDMI sound into the receiver, better quality than optical

#

But, that may have to wait now

swift lantern
#

I'm a monoprice e n j o y e r

#

At the moment

gloomy berry
#

Monoprice, that's a name I haven't seen in a long, long time

#

Used to get all my cables there

timber ridge
#

mono price has some thick rca cables

#

i skipped monoprice bc i dont think the cable wil bend well for my stack

gloomy berry
#

Yeah, thick cables not bendy

#

I used to have some CB coax that was probably 1/2" thick, maybe 5/8". Stuff REFUSED to bend

swift lantern
#

I think I will go either with topping e30 or mx3 for funsies

timber ridge
#

i think the biggest downside to my stack or the a50s in general is the small knob

#

ifi gives you a huge gain knob

swift lantern
#

you definitely got an overkill amp tbh

timber ridge
#

if the l30 wasnt blowing up i would of bought that

#

@timber ridge @queen sigil the glorious pbt keycaps colorways were announced

queen sigil
#

werent they like really ugly

sharp kindle
#

If glorious doesnโ€™t mess up with the plastic thickness and quality it could rival hkgaming

sharp kindle
#

The left center right justification is wack af

timber ridge
sharp kindle
#

And most of the colorways are just โ€œfadesโ€

sharp kindle
timber ridge
#

i thought finding keycaps that would match would be easier in silver

#

but all the recent kits look good on black kits

sharp kindle
#

Ramenstop

#

I got ramenstop with pink novelties

#

I think it will look good on a silver pro

timber ridge
#

kinda tempting bc of price

sharp kindle
#

Yh

timber ridge
#

i have pbt islander rn

sharp kindle
#

Did you secure some extras?

#

Nice

timber ridge
#

yup

sharp kindle
#

Nice bro

timber ridge
#

idk if itl match that well

#

didnt you order serika too?

sharp kindle
#

Yes

#

I think it wonโ€™t match the best with silver

#

Weโ€™ll see

timber ridge
#

exactly what im thinking rn

#

a lot of stuff doesnt really match unless i go with dolch or something similar

sharp kindle
#

Also there are supposed to be more streams and vids about the goat stabs, qmk and via, the gasket mounting, and add ons such as plate and knob options

#

All coming soon

timber ridge
#

nice

sharp kindle
#

Sound test is coming too

timber ridge
#

lowkey might not go thru with my order and maybe pick up a SIX5

#

with gmk maestro or civilization

sharp kindle

They said with glorious pandas and gateron blacks

#

timber ridge
#

yea forsure

sharp kindle
#

I donโ€™t think it will be a crappy product

queen sigil
#

ok ubisoft

timber ridge
#

jus i chose a cursed color lowkey

sharp kindle
#

Even if glorious fricks up itโ€™ll be average

timber ridge
#

i should of ordered jtk night sakura

#

i regret it

sharp kindle
#

Night Sakura looked sick

timber ridge
#

i regret not ordering lol

sharp kindle
#

There were some renders of night Sakura on a silver pro floating around on glorious discord

timber ridge
#

they gave a free set of extra alphas too

sharp kindle
#

It was a while back though

sharp kindle
timber ridge
#

yea it looks good surprisingly

sharp kindle
#

The teardown stream made me want to cry

timber ridge
#

its almost was like they didnt know if they wanted to go white or silver

#

and went in between with a meh color

sharp kindle
#

The renders are so misleading too

timber ridge
#

and slate black looked more grey in renders

sharp kindle
#

All the renders point towards it being more e white

timber ridge
#

or whatever the color is

sharp kindle
#

I think itโ€™s black slate

#

But the name and renders of white ice were misleading

timber ridge
#

yea

#

gmk devoted or dots might look good on silver

sharp kindle
#

Isnโ€™t dots base kit like 160 bucks

#

Cause new tooling is required?

#

Huh?

timber ridge
sharp kindle
#

Ah iirc itโ€™s like 160

#

Could be wrong

timber ridge
#

130 base kit

sharp kindle
#

Pretty average

timber ridge
#

yea

sharp kindle
#

Does this stuff happen a lot now?

timber ridge
#

not a fan of dots really, but itll look good with silver

sharp kindle
#

Yh

#

I really hope the pro white ice looks better irl

timber ridge
#

hopefully

#

the stream lowkey disappointed me

sharp kindle
#

It was kinda sad

#

My heart dropped when the white ice was shown

timber ridge
#

lmao

#

i was watching it and thinking about how much better the black kit looked

sharp kindle
#

Also proprietary hotswap sockets is just such a cheap move from glorious

timber ridge
#

yea pretty lame

#

might jus be on the lookout for other kits

sharp kindle
#

Saka 68 is looking mighty fine

#

hi

#

is the motospeed ck103 with red switches a good buy for 45 euros, or should i buy the ck104 for 39 euros with red or brown switches?

stoic solar
#

ew reds

left smelt
#

are they bad?

#

all those switches are outemu btw

timber ridge
#

its all perference

#

preference *

#

but there is a buying flow chart in pinned messages

left smelt
#

are browns better than reds?

#

brown outemus have this loud spring sound i dont like but feel just like cherry mx switches

timber ridge
#

its preference

#

there is no better switch

left smelt
#

im looking to game alot and type a little and i need a silent switch, which onr of those do i buy?

timber ridge
#

between brown and reds?

#

theyre like equally as loud

left smelt
#

i saw some outemu comparissons and reds were more silent tho

timber ridge
#

noise is gonna be really similar

#

i would jus pick based off of whether you like tactiles or not

left smelt
#

what does it help with?

timber ridge
#

nothing really

#

lets you know when the switch is actuated

#

thats pretty much it

left smelt
#

that will help with gaming right?

#

i play fps alot and i think that will be helpful

timber ridge
#

ig it kinda helps

#

i dont think any switch is gonna hold you back really in fps

#

unless you get like 90g springs

left smelt
#

ofc tho ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

i actually was looking for a nice smooth switch at first but realized these are for mosly streamers soo

timber ridge
#

switches is all preference, get whatever you like/want

#

gaterons are smoother than outemu switches

left smelt
#

yeah

stoic solar
#

reds are omega bad imo

timber ridge
#

reds are too light imo

#

typing experience isnt so nice

rugged lion
#

Lighter springs almost make it feel as if the key stroke is shorter

#

Very uncomfortable imo

#

Leads to just non stop abrupt bottom out

queen sigil
#

I like typing with botteming out

sly warren
#

I bottom out a lot, but I also use Blues right now.

#

Also, Porta Pros are a very fun headphone. They feel a bit more bass punchy than my UR40's, but they still sound very clean.

timber ridge
sly warren
#

Tested the Porta Pros for Gaming, and they are quite competent.

#

Positional audio is plenty good in Apex

stop jerkin sub $50 headphones please

Blues are the loudest

#

then browns then reds

i slightly wish I would've known that before getting this keyboard

#

maybe I'll get a reds one some day

queen sigil
#

browns and reds aren't that far off in sound

so reds are good if I want a quiet keyboard?

I mean the most quiet are... membrane...
