true*

[still lion]

I paid like $90 for my Katakana set that will come in October. Had like a $20 off coupon or something

That’s why I was looking for a full size hot swap keeb. Cause if I’m paying that much for a key set, I want to use them all, lmao

[swift lantern]

[split talon]

is the glorious model o worth do you think?

[queen sigil]

if ur hand fits it

[split talon]

ok it does ive tried it thx

[queen sigil]

it's not a bad mouse but you should never get a mouse that doesn't fit

[split talon]

yes true

what are good switches for a mechanical keyboard? I would be using it for gaming

[queen sigil]

i'd recommend linears

and if ur looking for a keyboard i'd recommend a keychron c2

[split talon]

ok so like gateron linears?

and what color

[queen sigil]

actually if you want i'd also take a look at the keychron c1

but gateron reds are linear

[split talon]

ok thx

[timber ridge]

model o is good if it suits ur grip type

@queen sigil what was the cute 40% kit you linked before?

[queen sigil]

tbh i dont think id get a brass plate

[last plinth]

brass u have to clean hella right?

[timber ridge]

yea id take fr4 b4 brass

[queen sigil]

the sound is too harsh and the feel is too stiff

[timber ridge]

alu the sweet spot

[tight pulsar]

fr4 is fiberglass

its what most pcbs are made of

also brass sucks and half plate alu is good

I've listened to these ones thousands of times each already

I need more

choose your switches

[zealous silo]

is it hard gtting used to a 65%

[royal sandal]

probably not

[zealous silo]

ok

[queen sigil]

NO

its not

[gloomy berry]

Isn't 65% just no 10 key or arrows?

[queen sigil]

no

[gloomy berry]

Ah, no 10 key then

I googled

[queen sigil]

no

[gloomy berry]

wat

[tight pulsar]

its a 60 with arrows and a few extra nav keys

[swift lantern]

wait I never thought of that before

what happen if plug hdr monitor in as second monitor

[royal sandal]

arrow keys good

[sinful shadow]

Is the logitech g pro wireless still good to buy in 2021?

[royal sandal]

maybe

[sinful shadow]

Like is there a mouse that takes its place in value

[royal sandal]

uhhh

Model O?

[timber ridge]

idk if you wanna pick up the g pro bc its notorious for switch failure

new one has it too, but its not as bad as the older model

[sinful shadow]

I was mostly just looking on ebay for one because they have the g pro wireless for like $50

[timber ridge]

they are cheap probably bc they have double click issues

[sinful shadow]

wdym

[swift lantern]

Finna sell all this stuff, get settled with ifi, then get an hdr monitor

[timber ridge]

logitech mices are known for double click issues

especially the gpro

[sinful shadow]

How common is it

[timber ridge]

the ones on ebay are probably cheap bc theyre mice with a doubleclick issue

very

its doomed to happen to all of em

unless you have like 1 in 10000000 mouse

[swift lantern]

My wired mouse don't do it

[timber ridge]

is it a g pro ?

[swift lantern]

G203

[timber ridge]

i was gonna guess that

my gf has that mice too and it legit lasted hella long

[swift lantern]

Simplicity is key

[timber ridge]

yep

[swift lantern]

Ordered a fiio e6 for mobile actually

Assuming that works, I'll go with zen dac for desktop

[timber ridge]

should of nabbed an es100

[west hornet]

kuzu rude

[timber ridge]

what he do

[sinful shadow]

my hand is about 19cm x 10cm with a fingertip grip, what mouse would you recommend then?

[royal sandal]

oooh exact measurments

[sinful shadow]

yea?

[west hornet]

he yell at me 😦

[timber ridge]

not cool

[timber ridge]

viper mini prob can work

but 19 is kinda on the longer side

[daring zenith]

og gpw not good because of double clicking

[swift lantern]

Just genuinely shocked that you were in the cesspool

[west hornet]

lol, i've been there for almost a year. I keep finding random people I know there. it surprise me because it not the easiest to find haha

[abstract shard]

so uh, headphones have started making a popping/crackling noise a few times a second when playing audio

they're mh650's

port is clean

only 3 months old too

[fluid dew]

Upgrading from a g305 to a glorious model o wireless. Hope it is as good as the reviews say it is.

[west hornet]

try with other devices, turn off any post processing it might have, disable all enhancements etc

[abstract shard]

damn, i was convinced it was something hardware with my headphones since my speakers worked, but i plugged them into a laptop and no crackle

time to start troubleshooting...

[west hornet]

it can be annoying to troubleshoot as with everything so many options. it could be emi/rfi interference, it could be something wrong with pc output, loose connections, etc etc

[timber ridge]

troubleshooting audio stuff is cursed

it took me like a few months to figure out my mic/audio issue

[last plinth]

I have glorious model o wireless myself

Although its different for all models, mine has a squeaky scroll wheel and right cick

click

but it has been fixing itself

i dont hear it as much nor is it that loud

[west hornet]

What issue did you have Lance

[timber ridge]

discord does not play friendly with dac/amps

so when i screenshare with audio, which i do frequently

id get a lot of static and my mic disconnect and reconnect

Hey guys what is better keyboard for gaming, optical or gateron? Tia!

[wanton inlet]

Mechanical

[wanton burrow]

optical isn't a brand

it's like an architecture on a keyboard

optical uses lasers inside the switch to register commands

mechanical just uses the good 'ol copper leaf contact mechanism

nothing actually is better at gaming

it's just different kind of switch

go for a linear

the ones with gateron red

if u can find a optical/mechanical keyboard with black switch, go for it

@pastel path

https://shopee.ph/Keychron-C1-Mechanical-Keyboard-(TKL-Wired-White-LED-Gateron-Hot-Swap)-i.308793963.8813586228

this

if u don't want to change switches, go for the k series

[pastel path]

Hey @wanton burrow thanks! Sorry for late reply ive been studying about the optical keyboards, so u saying there's no difference between the optical and normal kb?

I prefer 104, or 100 keys. And non hotswap. I only play league and some triple a games. I was thinking if about this two. Keychron c2 nonswap and the k4 gateron or optical..

[wanton burrow]

on feel, no thre's rly no difference

[wanton burrow]

do u rly need numpad? i doubt

[pastel path]

Ok ok nice thank u!

[wanton burrow]

just get the c1

[pastel path]

Yeah ive got used to in since im working as data entry xD

[wanton burrow]

oh

then get the c2 instead

[pastel path]

Niceeee arigathanks senpai!

Whats the difference betweeen wifi 4, wifi 5, wifi 6 etc?

[gloomy berry]

Speeds

But you need it on both ends to see the speed

IE, WiFi 6 router/modem and WiFi 6 card

[rustic echo]

Can a wifi 6 card also do wifi 5

[gloomy berry]

Yes

[rustic echo]

ok

Cos i just bought a wifi 6 card

[gloomy berry]

Ah, they're all backwards compatible

Just don't expect WiFi 6 speeds is all

btw is there wifi 7

[gloomy berry]

Not yet.........

[sly warren]

Right now there's Wi-Fi 6E

that must be so ergonomic

a

[timber ridge]

finally secured a ps5

[royal sandal]

coole

[tame canopy]

i just got my C1 in the mail today

what i take away from it is gateron brown switches can be considered as clicky, but still soooo nice

if i were to order again i would prob go with blue

but still really happy with brown

they are just loud

[queen sigil]

what

gateron browns are not even close to blues

if they are loud either you just are used to really quiet membranes or the keyboard you have doesn't have browns

[wanton burrow]

so u clicky clicky person huh

kailh box jades

[tame canopy]

they hecca loud

[wanton burrow]

T H I C C C L I C C S

[queen sigil]

did you check to see if you actually got browns

[wanton burrow]

wth

[queen sigil]

becayse gateron browns arent really considered loud

[tame canopy]

yes

[queen sigil]

and loud compared to what

[wanton burrow]

take out cap

[tame canopy]

i did

brown stem

[wanton burrow]

bruh how th

[queen sigil]

Because again, gateron browns arent that loud

[bleak ember]

You are used to really quiet switches then

[queen sigil]

maybe what you consider loud is just not that loud

[tame canopy]

possibly

[bleak ember]

Browns are quiet compared to blues

[wanton burrow]

browns are middle ground

not so loud

but also not so quiet

[tame canopy]

how do switch companies dampen sound anyway

[wanton burrow]

no

not rly

[bleak ember]

O rings

[wanton burrow]

wut

eh

unless u get th non hotswap one then it'll be a good one buying o rings

[queen sigil]

uh

the have dampeners in the switch

but alot of keyboards have foam or are just less hollow

which make them more quiet

also stuff like thicker switch housings

[wanton burrow]

i'm kinda into clacky linears as i can see

will most likely try tangies, d pom, or maybe try that creamerons coz mine will have gat browns

[queen sigil]

id probs just what nahcos told me a while ago

cheap durock linears + cherry tops

[wanton burrow]

the pom or the Ls?

[queen sigil]

L

[wanton burrow]

oooo

ngl it's pretty weird that one of my plans for the k6 was already made by someone

metropolis clones, tangies, and k6

[sinful shadow]

How common is the double click issue on a new logitech g pro wireless?

Looking at getting one

[queen sigil]

im pretty sure new GPW dont have the issue

[sinful shadow]

whats gpw?

[queen sigil]

g pro wireless

[sinful shadow]

i thought that one was the one that had all the issues

[queen sigil]

I don't know about the newer ones

I know someone said soemthing about the superlight's issue being fixed but IDK about the normal gpw

[west hornet]

marry poppins

[wanton burrow]

This is nice

But looks like spray lubed to not add cost ig

[west hornet]

1%

[wanton burrow]

[daring zenith]

Oo nice

Making me want to buy another keychron >:D

[wanton burrow]

pretty nice

i can now use it without worrying about scratchiness

and regretting why i wouldn't buy tribosys yet

[tight pulsar]

grr when is nk restocking mx blacks

[rugged lion]

put stuff inside of it

like foam and what not

@wanton burrow that is not nice, like at all https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=108287.0

spray lubing is very bad

[tight pulsar]

if ur talking about silent switches its usually a piece of hard rubber

[rugged lion]

yeah, usually on the stem, where the stem makes contact with the bottom housing (bottom out) so it prevents it from being a "harsh" noise. thats the thing that actually makes noise (with linears)

bottom out and when it returns back up

[queen sigil]

who was talking about silent switches

[rugged lion]

yesterday

for whatever reason it was the first message i saw when i came here so i replied

[queen sigil]

i have no clue what you're saying

[tropic dirge]

anyone know a good corner desk for that can handle 3 displays and a pc

[calm cobalt]

wouldn't it also depend on the size of the displays.

[rustic echo]

#old-monitors-and-tv mabye???

[cobalt nova]

how big will the monitors be?

[queen sigil]

I mean i'd just say go to any furnature store

[tropic dirge]

27"

[rugged lion]

wayfair has desks idk if their good

any random furniture store will have desks

same with ikea

[royal sandal]

coughs in wayfair trafficking conspiracy

[rugged lion]

coughs in wtf

[queen sigil]

lmao

[tropic dirge]

my local furniture store didnt have any just couches, beds and bed frames

[rugged lion]

wayfair and ikea

ive got no clue otherwise

possibly amazon

[wanton burrow]

imma still swap the switches anyways ¯_(ツ)_/¯

let's just hope it's not a bad spray lube

[daring zenith]

Tbh I feel like the risk is lessened by a lot since it's the company doing the lubing, and therefore holding the responsibility for any issues with lubing

[wanton burrow]

prob give pre-lubed batch for a reviewer to see if it's a good spray lube?

plus i swore that i will change out the switches, so it shouldn't rly be a bad one

unless the creamerons interests me lol

[daring zenith]

Creamerons? Cream gaterons or smth?

[wanton burrow]

gat browns + nk creams

[daring zenith]

Frankenswitch?

[wanton burrow]

i think keybored made it

[daring zenith]

Huh

[wanton burrow]

although pom linears and tangies is my top choices

[rugged lion]

why?

that frankenswitch does not really make sense imo lol

it seems like one of those frankenswitches where instead of actually trying to better a switch and take good parts from one and adding it to something u just make a frankenswitch, with just the idea in mind of it being unique

like nk cream stems are great but idk about gat brown housings

[daring zenith]

maybe a "hey I want this part somewhere else, and I just happen to have something else to experiment on"

[rugged lion]

yeah but he said if they interest him

which makes it sound like its not something he has parts of already and more of something he has to go out of his way to then buy the parts for

[wanton burrow]

nah just to not throw out gat browns and/or basically to kill boredom lol

[wanton burrow]

but yea this is still the main choices i have as of now

i'm still learning stuff while i haven't got the K6

so yea

[little crater]

yooooooooo

it's freaking translucent

[west hornet]

lol

[royal sandal]

Where’d you get it

I’m literally listening to At Doom’s Gate right now

[little crater]

i was able to snag one brand new off ebay for a reasonable price

[rugged lion]

u know gat browns are tactile tho

like not that it wont work itll work but

[little crater]

i ordered it a while ago, but its back in stock here https://gear.bethesda.net/products/doom-deluxe-double-vinyl-record

so yeah

[rugged lion]

thats a tactile leaf with a linear stem

i dont think a gat brown has much going for it but i would recommend doing cream stem and bottom housing and just a gat brown top housing (idk) just so ur able to claim its a whatever the heck

[lethal mortar]

I need a coil but new key caps

[little crater]

hot

[wanton burrow]

NP Ice Cream right?

[lethal mortar]

yeee

Im not the biggest fan of the yellow tbh

[wanton burrow]

kinda like that one too

smh kbdfans on shopee don't have nice keycap sets

before i go into a bidding war 3 days from now

beamspring with solenoid

is

[wanton burrow]

and it's kinda hard to order in other sites coz i predict it'll ask for at least $20 shipping fee

damn geekhack loads so fast

[rugged lion]

sure

[tight pulsar]

o a beamspring

@little crater check out this dudes collection https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/212575396032413697/805638543665397811/20210131_221835.jpg

[little crater]

owo

what i really want is a terminal with beamspring

then i use it as an actual terminal

[honest ether]

Got the Keychron C2 in and I've been using it for two days now. I'm going insane relearning to type. Old keyboard was membrane and the activation force was so much higher than this keyboard. Sometimes just resting my hands will result in dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd 😛

[wanton burrow]

so the shop i'm browsing keycaps on were yongqiu

which has bunch of keycap sets and several clone sets too

[daring zenith]

With hotswap keebs, you could always go for a heavier switch if necessary :D

[queen sigil]

I mean if its like one of these

these are like really heavy

[honest ether]

Fun fact I actually have that exact one for comparison and I'd rate the Logitech G15 (ver 2005) I came from as equal to, or slightly higher activation force than the dell.

So.. know my pain in having something so much lighter. I've been assaulting keyboards for almost two decades. Now I have to practice being gentle.

[rugged lion]

yeah try to not bottom out all the time

its actually such a better typing experience

like u dont get tired as quick

but liking heavier springs isnt a bad thing so

dont force urself to use lighter, especially since its so cheap and easy to spring swap

like i like heavier switches

[honest ether]

I feel as though I've never experienced getting tired since I've been training with a heavy weight for eternity. I never noticed it until this when I started on this keyboard.

It's like Gohan stepping out of the gravity training chamber for the first time.

DBZ reference

[atomic fern]

can anyone recommend some good keyboards?
was gonna get the Alloy Elite but it doesn't seem to exist anymore since the Elite 2 is a thing. (and I hate the pudding keycaps they to me are ugly) Other than that I was planning on getting the same keyboard I have now but slightly upgraded (Ornata V2, for the dedicated media keys and I like my Ornata)
Must have dedicated Media Keys
Gotta have me that RGB Backlighting, preferably per key customization
Ten Keys
Mecha-Mechanical or Full Mechanical is fine.
Anything for like $200 - $250 Canadian? Much appreciated. Would also want a mouse to go with. I would prefer the same brand as any keyboards. Right now was planning to get DeathAdder V2 Pro.

ping or DM Me

[queen sigil]

@atomic fern dont get any "gaming keyboard"

And by "ten keys" do you mean the numpad?

[atomic fern]

yes

[queen sigil]

if you need RGB then i'd get keychron c2

but if you do hands down the two best options for around that price would be varmillo keyboards or the leopold fc980m

[atomic fern]

whats the difference between red and blue switches?

[queen sigil]

blues are really loud

and kinda have a small click that you can feel

reds dont have that bump

and are alot quieter

browns are op

[left smelt]

hello guys

i need some help with lubing my keyboard

1st i dont know what lube to buy

i buy from skroutz.com and theres too many options i just cant

can yall give me a hand?

[queen sigil]

usually depends what switch you are buying

And I have no clue what that site is

[left smelt]

i have the gateron yellow(optical switches)

[queen sigil]

they're linear?

[left smelt]

it would be good to lube my stabilizers too and tape them but idk what to buy in order to do all these things

yes

[queen sigil]

Just get Krytox 205G0

[left smelt]

skroutz doesnt have it and all the american sites have like 60 euro shipping in order to ship to greece

[queen sigil]

then you're out of luck

https://mechboards.co.uk/product-category/accessories/

you can try here

but I don't think there are any custom keyboard retailers anywhere near greece

[left smelt]

yeah

imma check these

[snow swift]

leyo should i ever lube my k551?

switches are susposed to be like mx reds

[queen sigil]

I mean if you want it to sound and feel better than sure

still takes alot of time and i wouldn't recommend to do it if you don't care about that

[snow swift]

ok

keys still feel like brand new

[left smelt]

theres no stock on the krytox lube lol

[queen sigil]

used>brand new switches

at least when it comes to lienars

[snow swift]

mhmm

[left smelt]

so what do i do now?

[queen sigil]

no

def not

[left smelt]

oh

okay

[queen sigil]

spary lubing is terrible

[left smelt]

i saw some other lubes available in skroutz

lemme show u

first one i found is this https://www.skroutz.gr/s/25725534/Super-Lube-Synthetic-Grease-Tube-6-cc-Syringe-70006.html?from=catspan

second one is this https://www.skroutz.gr/s/24486256/Super-Lube-Oiler-Pen-7g.html?from=catspan

[queen sigil]

super lube grease is really thick

[left smelt]

and last one this https://www.skroutz.gr/s/23676982/Super-Lube.html?from=catspan

[queen sigil]

and wouldnt work

[left smelt]

oh okay

also found https://www.skroutz.gr/s/26177399/Super-Lube.html?from=catspan

[queen sigil]

and those are oils which are probs too thin

[left smelt]

sooo

now what? 😂

[queen sigil]

there are people who mix the thiicker grease with PTFE oil

but that;s gonna be more expensive

[left smelt]

ok lemme check pricing

[queen sigil]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilKvUDtsrsk&t=141s&ab_channel=SSSAK

[left smelt]

https://www.skroutz.gr/search?keyphrase=ptfe+oil&order_by=pricevat&order_dir=asc

soo can u check whats best here?

[queen sigil]

you could just combine the two superlube products you sent earlier

I've never tried this but this video seems decent

[left smelt]

oh okay

it might cost a bit more than 20 euros

but i think its worth it

but i still dont have the thing you lube the switches with

what do i do to replace this?

[queen sigil]

you don't need a lube station

[left smelt]

not a lube station

[queen sigil]

but you need a brush and I strongly recommend a swith opener

[left smelt]

what kind of brush tho?

[cunning hearth]

just any paintbrush

[queen sigil]

like size 0-000

[left smelt]

oh okay

[cunning hearth]

and for lube i personally recommend krytox 205g0 and 105

yea one of those small brushes

[left smelt]

okii

any ideas on what tape to use on my switches?

[queen sigil]

tape?

[left smelt]

yeah

[queen sigil]

for what?

[left smelt]

for the stabilizers( i saw a person using tape on his stabilizers and got a nice result)

[queen sigil]

are you talking about on the plate to make it tighter or the holee mod?

[left smelt]

idk what ur talking about 😂

just forget the tape

lol

[cunning hearth]

tape?

you mean band-aid?

or what

[left smelt]

idk lol something like that

probably band aid

or tape

[cunning hearth]

where’d he put the “tape”

[left smelt]

on the stabs i think

[cunning hearth]

on them?

picture?

[left smelt]

wait lemme show u vid

i think thats it https://youtu.be/cD5Zj-ZgMLA

[cunning hearth]

oh taeha types lmaoo

well thats band aid

so you can use any bandaid

doesnt really matter

[left smelt]

oh aighty

is it hard or?

[cunning hearth]

meh

[left smelt]

shouldnt a newbie attempt all of this

?

[cunning hearth]

you can

just maybe buy extra switches

bc you might break some during lubing

[left smelt]

haha okay

ive also heard that spray lubing is good

but idk

leyo told me its bad

idk why

[cunning hearth]

i dont recommend that

i recommend those lubes

and uh just watch some tutos ig

[left smelt]

yeah those arent available on skroutz tho and all the other sites want 50 dollars or more in shipping so its out of the question

[wanton burrow]

is the Keychron K2 too tall compared to the K6?

[timber ridge]

besides form factor, a very slight difference in measurements

[stoic solar]

They should be the same height.

white looks better

[royal sandal]

His disappointment was Immeasurable and his day was ruined

[cunning hearth]

white looks better and you can fight me on that

[royal sandal]

I shalt not because I, to an extent, agree

I should do a build that’s quartz themed

Like the Razer Quartz devices

[stoic solar]

white looks bad once you actually use it

source: used to use all white stuff

[placid dune]

Lol yeah

Once you get any blemishes on it or you don't keep it clean for a while

[sly warren]

If you keep white stuff clean, it looks great.

I clean my White Model O at least once a week.

[placid dune]

Too much work

Lol

[daring zenith]

Work is bad

[stoic solar]

yeah i just buy black stuff so i dont have to clean every week

[sly warren]

All you are doing is hiding the dirt and grime

I buy white stuff so I make sure I clean it.

Guess I'll do this here, does anyone have recommendations for earbuds. It would be for casual use,i would also like them to be wireless, and a budget of $80. Please @ me if you're going recommended me a pair

[gloomy berry]

I've been there

Took my buddy there on a road trip once

[timber ridge]

jill biden was here few days ago

there was like 6 huge plane thingys that flew on base

they shook buildings as they flew over

[gloomy berry]

I have pics from Miramar. Did some work there and got a drive through the airfield to see all the cool stuff

[timber ridge]

cool base but it's really in the middle of nowhere

[gloomy berry]

It is indeed lol

[sly warren]

Earbuds are not the same thing as In Ear Monitors. Do you want Earbuds, or do you want In Ear Monitors?

In Ear Monitors actually get in your Ear Canal (Airpods Pros are an example of In Ear Monitors)

While Earbuds sit outside your ear canal (Airpods are an example of Earbuds)

Earbuds tend to sound significantly worse than IEMs.

And, at 80 dollars, you might get used Airpods, if you are an Apple User I recommend sticking with Airpods.

If you are an Android user, pick up a pair of QCY T5's for ~30 bucks on Amazon, amazing little TWS IEMs that sound great and have awesome battery life.

[timber ridge]

really wouldnt touch tws unless you have like 220 to spend

[sly warren]

I can agree with that sentiment.

Though, the QCY T5's are actually quite good.

[timber ridge]

rn its really between airpods pros and galaxy buds pro but new airpods an xm3s are gonna drop soon

[sly warren]

If you absolutely need Bluetooth gear, just get a pair of Tin T2 Plus and a FiiO BTR5.

GG, you have the best of both worlds.

[tight pulsar]

thats twice their budget

[sly warren]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

And?

[tight pulsar]

they put a budget there for a reason

if i was looking for a $500 headphone setup a $1000 recommendation is little help

[languid citrus]

Thanks for the help probably going to go with QCY T5's. And give them a try

[sly warren]

https://prnt.sc/10lp2wm Here's a review from THE IEM Guy. Like, if you buy an IEM that isn't on his list, you must be broken in the cranium.

That are cheap

[rugged lion]

What’s up gon

[swift lantern]

For me I'm looking at the Dell sg27 whatever the heck

Why are actually hdr monitors hard to come by still

[sly warren]

Because HDR is a garbage standard that makes no sense.

https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/standards.png

HDR kinda works like that.

Albeit there's only like, 4 standards.

[swift lantern]

I want vesa standard

When it comes to monitors that's what ones below $1000 seem to adhere to

Tread carefully of course

[rugged lion]

hey mods (idk if im allowed to ping u) but i got a question, is sending high castle against the rules in this discord?

[neon root]

depending on the imagery, yes you are not allowed to send it and against the rules

[rugged lion]

sending the gh link or sending like meme photos of it or just anything in general?

and im guessing the topic is not off limits however?

[neon root]

again, depending on the imagery or video used of it, it is off limits. the topic of the show however isnt directly off limits depending on the where the subject matter is going such as, "oh yeah that show is pretty good" vs actually talking about the symbolism or other topics within and such that is bad

[rugged lion]

i mean the gmk set

[neon root]

ah, see idk you were talking about that vs the show which has certain stuff in it but again to what ive said, if its bad then its not allowed

bad words, bad imagery

not allowed

[rugged lion]

also i dont quite follow; how do u talk about a show that is about nazi's winning ww2 without mentioning the nazis?

[neon root]

very very vaguely like i said of "oh its a good show" and not going into anything further

lol

[rugged lion]

high castle novelties has the SS on it along with the imperial japanese flag

ah no i lied

sorry

its a wolfs-angle along with the eagle

and then yeah just the current japanese flag along with imperial japanese flag

[neon root]

if theres something within the meme where you look at it and you have to ask yourself "do i have/need to ask if this is ok" or if it touches on the rules, then probs best to not send it

[rugged lion]

so sending the meme i have is a no no but sending the gh forum and discussing it is okay?

[neon root]

so long as its appropriate

[rugged lion]

i see

interesting how the official newegg discord is more relaxed than hamaji neo's

especially considering what the mans done

thank u very much wolfgang

its 94% or something like that

https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k4-wireless-mechanical-keyboard-version-2?variant=32287332532313

[rugged lion]

ok non-exploded 75s are bordering the limit

but that layout surpasses it

[royal sandal]

wdym

its compact 96%

[rugged lion]

yeah looks stupid asf

96% is such a good layout

i was gonna get a sg81m lol

[royal sandal]

any other good keychron KBs that are 96% or similar?

preferably blown up 100%?

[rugged lion]

are u asking me?

[royal sandal]

yeah

if you hate the K4v2 so much

[rugged lion]

lol

i can dislike a layout

there doesnt have to be an alternative

[sly warren]

But if you want a fullsize, objectively Compact 96% is the best layout.

It consumes the least amount of space while still being fullsize.

[royal sandal]

[coral temple]

What’s a good desk?? Idk if this is the correct channel to ask in

One that fits your needs.

I recommend a desk that can adjust between Standing and Sitting.

[royal sandal]

I just use VR for health

[sly warren]

I don't recommend any desks with keyboard trays

Because they just break

@royal sandal K4 is about the best you're going to get

not necessarily a fan of how compact it is but it works

well, 96%

but close enough

[queen sigil]

stop talking until i become vet

[royal sandal]

no

[queen sigil]

what did sara want

[daring zenith]

96% @queen sigil

[queen sigil]

ooh

Leopold fc980M

Check that out

[royal sandal]

I was confused about a keychron KB that he said didnt exist, I pinged him with a link to the K4v2, which is the one I was talking about

[daring zenith]

what did I say didn't exist

me confuse

[queen sigil]

leopolds are soo niceeee

[daring zenith]

Oh yea I said they have no wireless full sized keebs I think

but 94% or 96% isn't full

[queen sigil]

does sara want wireless

[royal sandal]

you said a 100% K4 didnt exist a few days ago (which is technically true), but the K4v2 exists which is what I was talking about

it mightve been a few weeks ago actually

[daring zenith]

yea

100% K keeb

doesn't exist

[queen sigil]

k4 is 75%

[daring zenith]

96% does

[queen sigil]

k1 is 100%

[royal sandal]

couldnt care either way, would help with cable management

[queen sigil]

but its low profile

and the c2 is full size

[daring zenith]

smh lp is different from full imo

but I do want lp now

thicc k8

[queen sigil]

but 4 real

if ur thinking of getting a keyboard

and the leopold fc980m is in the budget

[daring zenith]

@queen sigil weird layout tho

i no like

why would you have that floating arrow keys

[queen sigil]

looks cool

leopold keyboards are just like really nice

the keycaps are super nice

not hotswap or anything tho

[daring zenith]

fair

[sly warren]

Man, I can't wait to order my Keychron, but I have to get a new SSD first...

[daring zenith]

@sly warren what ssd you planning on

[sly warren]

Pilot-E 1TB

[daring zenith]

what if I told you, you could get away with a Helix-L or sn550 >:D

[sly warren]

And what if I told you No, because DirectStorage is gonna need speedy storage.

Also, Pilot-E isn't that much more money.

[daring zenith]

20$

but yea

Keychron nice

@sly warren we really need some directio benchmarks about now

who knows, maybe they need rnd perf

[sly warren]

We do need them.

[daring zenith]

needing seq is only a guess from us

[sturdy sinew]

keychron k2 with zuggear t1's will work correct

[sly warren]

Any... 5 pin Cherry switch will work.

[sturdy sinew]

👍

[daring zenith]

iirc except tilda is 3 pin

just clip off 2 pins

:P

[sly warren]

Yeah

You have to clip the 2 plastic pins.

Because the USB-C port is near the Tilde key.

[tight pulsar]

if you want t1s i’d grab them from somewhere else last i checked they were decently more expensive

[old seal]

Just got a gmmk with brown switches and gotta say i actually like em

[sly warren]

Why TF would you buy a GMMK?

It's just a More Expensive and Worse Keychron

All of the Keychrons take a dump on the GMMK.

Mostly because the GMMK uses yucky 3 Pin switches.

5 Pin switches are more stable.

[tight pulsar]

why not just buy a leopold its way more stable

ez

[sly warren]

I mean, yes... But at least the Keychron still has RGB as an option

If you want that.

But, Leopold has NO RGB.

[tight pulsar]

and

who needs rgb when you have beige

so im looking to get a new pair of headphones to replace my razer nari ones. they have been sounding terrible recently and have been popping a lot. i think there is something wrong with the drivers. anyway, i want to get a new different pair thats better than them that preferrably under 160$. i would like an open back if that is possible. any suggestions?

[sly warren]

Do you have any source gear?

Or are you just running off your motherboard audio?

im using the wireless usb dongle

[empty urchin]

I’m looking to splurge on a quality keyboard and mouse, as I never bought nice peripherals for my splurged setup. So far looked at flagship offerings from big names like Razer and steel series. Some guidance would be coo. Coming from a very low profile membrane keyboard that I’m extremely used to.

[queen sigil]

budget

[sly warren]

https://www.schiit.com/products/modi-1 and https://www.schiit.com/products/magni-1 Combine that with Sundaras, you'd have a crazy good experience in games.

[empty urchin]

Flexible tbh. $100-200 for kb, mouse around or less than $100 ideally

[sly warren]

Mouse: https://www.rocketjumpninja.com/mouse-search Go here, Measure Your Hand, use tool

[polar sundial]

best monitor under $300?

24 inches

[sly warren]

#old-monitors-and-tv

[queen sigil]

i'd either get a leopold or varmillo keyboard or consider an entry level custom keyboard and your mouse depends on alot of stuff like grip type and whatever

[polar sundial]

oh my b

[sly warren]

I never make blanket suggestions on Mice.

They are probably the MOST subjective piece of gaming gear you can get.

[queen sigil]

i mean they are the only thing not even close to standardized

because its more than just preference

and when it comes to audio and keyboards its all preference but alot of people have the same preference

[empty urchin]

Seem like very enthusiast oriented options. Haven’t heard of the two ngl.

Looking for a 100% kb, metallic build highly preferred. Switches type is difficult but I don’t think I’d want too much depth coming from a flat membrane kb.

Do you under any circumstances recommend mainstream options btw?

[sly warren]

Why a 100%?

Do you NEED the numpad?

Will you die without one?

[empty urchin]

Yes very likely

[sly warren]

🤔

[empty urchin]

Death is imminent, but a ten keyless kb will be one less reason to live

[sly warren]

But why?

Are you like, some spreadsheet wizard or something?

[empty urchin]

on the real, I do use it for logins, number entries, etc. Very much built into my muscle memory.

Soooo much more efficient than the number row

[queen sigil]

leopold and varmillo are both less "gamer" options for keyboards

really nice build quality

[sly warren]

https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k4-wireless-mechanical-keyboard-version-2?variant=32287344427097 Or just get this.

Compactified Fullsize

Less space taken up, has the option for Bluetooth Wireless mode, and still retains Hotswap (If you ever want to try a new switch) and RGB.

All for the really nice price of 99.00

Or 89.00 if you take the Aluminum "frame" off

[queen sigil]

id say against keychron if you have more money to spend

[sly warren]

I wouldn't.

They offer so much for such a nice cheap price.

Honestly there's not much reason to buy something more expensive unless you just will die if you have extra money in your wallet.

[queen sigil]

except they arent the most ergonomic keyboards

[sly warren]

Yeah, that's why people invented things like the Ergodox.

[queen sigil]

and the keycaps are cheap and dont feel that good

lmao

what

no keychrons are not ergonomic because of the height

[sly warren]

They aren't THAT tall

[empty urchin]

A good feel is preferred. It’s why I’d want a metallic build

[sly warren]

Metallic =/= Good Feel

You can have a plastic board that feels a million times better than a metal one.

[empty urchin]

not for keycaps probably but the overall build

[sly warren]

Hell, I have that right now.

My GMMK Full Size felt like crap for an Aluminum board.

[queen sigil]

lol they are pretty tall

tall to the point that you want a wrist wrest

[sly warren]

My Yunzii 84 key board I have feels a million times better

[empty urchin]

On a side note are metallic keycaps even a thing?

[sly warren]

And is entirely plastic.

There are metallic keycaps

[queen sigil]

they exist

[sly warren]

They are just rare

Mostly because you likely want a pretty heavy switch.

[queen sigil]

metal keycaps dont exist short of artisans

metallic keycaps exist on like amazon

[empty urchin]

so what switch would be recommended here

[sly warren]

What do you want?

Clicky? Tactile? Linear?

[empty urchin]

extra depth not preferred. Would want a clear click, for surety in every click

excessive noise doesn’t feel like a pro, so unpreferred

[rugged lion]

be honest guys

do u like to move it move it

[rugged lion]

did u mean wouldnt?

also what board are you pairing these with?

[empty urchin]

Why? No typo there

[rugged lion]

im confused

u want a click bt u said excessive noise is unpreferred?

[queen sigil]

read the context

[empty urchin]

like a clear actuating feel. Noise should be on lower end

[queen sigil]

@empty urchin do you want good build quality, nice looking, or what

[rugged lion]

k4 isee
