It turned into LGBTQ chat by itself, I had nothing to do with it

(Happy trans awareness day to anyone new here)

[timber ridge]

[royal sandal]

cries

[royal sandal]

Not exactly

[gloomy berry]

[queen sigil]

[hallow ember]

[royal sandal]

[royal sandal]

Dust it every once in a while and perform system checks I guess

[queen sigil]

@timber ridge idk if geekark accents is gonna reach MOQ

[royal sandal]

Not really too hard

[queen sigil]

[hallow ember]

im gonna clean it tom or this weekend i seee dust in the grill below

[royal sandal]

You only really need to clean a laptop once every couple months

[hallow ember]

whats perform system checks

[royal sandal]

Less often than a PC on account of the fact that it’s harder to get air in

[hallow ember]

yeah i got it like 4 months ago ig

[royal sandal]

So maybe it’s time to dust it

[queen sigil]

my front filter gets alot of dust

[royal sandal]

Not too hard to keep a system well kept

[hallow ember]

same^

[queen sigil]

but theres like a metal filter then a mesh filter

[hallow ember]

i have a mesh

[queen sigil]

since its lianli

lianli cases are nice but they expensive and they weird

[royal sandal]

Hold on

TFW new iPhone 12, can’t die

Still at 40%

[west hornet]

Wait a minute

[timber ridge]

ooo

i wanted to switch over to iphone this year but couldnt do it

[west hornet]

Is april 1 haachamas b day too???

[royal sandal]

Why?

That’s gross

Switching to iPhone

blegh

[timber ridge]

i like to swap back and forth

but the iphone was missing a few things that is p common on flagships

[royal sandal]

Like?

[west hornet]

https://tenor.com/view/haachama-nononoo-gif-18097581

[timber ridge]

in screen fingerprint scanner is a big one

especially with mask n stuff

[royal sandal]

Also iPhone 13 is supposed to be super advanced compared to iPhone 12 so you probs didn’t miss anything (possible Type-C charging, 120hz screen, mega long lifespan, etc)

I’ve even heard rumors of a 3nm process but those seem kinda far

Anyways I actually need to go now

Goodbye

[timber ridge]

iphone 13 is either gonna be really good or a small upgrade

some ppl are saying they might bring back the s variants bc there might not be that much of an upgrade

[tight pulsar]

ill probably pick up a 13

on a 7 rn lol

its fine for most stuff but the camera is pretty bad and you can tell its slow on some apps

kek

[west hornet]

sad i am cursed now

[rough warren]

Y’all have any good 60% keyboards for around 100$ (price is flexible)

In white!

[daring zenith]

In white uhhh

Rk61 was white iirc

[queen sigil]

Custom or prebuilt

[rough warren]

Prebuilt I don’t got the technological skill for all that or I would actually consider

@daring zenith is there a place to get key caps for that keyboard.

[daring zenith]

What

It comes with keycaps

[rough warren]

Ik but I want to get custom ones to match the rest of my setup

[daring zenith]

It's standard layout

6.25u spacebar

[rough warren]

Oh ok so it should be easy to find some

[queen sigil]

tbh if you could i'd just try to find a white leopold fc660m

basically the highest quality prebuilt you could buy

[daring zenith]

I've never seen a leopold or durgod white keeb lol

[wanton burrow]

idk bout the 60% leopold but fc750r definitely has some retro white colorway on it

[daring zenith]

Hm that's actually white

[wanton burrow]

kinda creamy

[queen sigil]

[wanton burrow]

glarses 2 ppl are weird

[wanton burrow]

is it dangerous to ask an mkb discord about buying clone keycaps?

[sharp kindle]

Yes

[brave vale]

Does anyone know if I can even buy the omnipoint switches

[queen sigil]

iirc no

but why would you ned to

[wraith roost]

Keebs came in today

Nice redux fans

[wraith roost]

[calm cobalt]

Mostly just cause dies suck

mixed batch

[wraith roost]

Meh

Not like I’ll be oc or anything. If it works it works

And it’s not tall and not rgb

[timber ridge]

did the gb start already?

[tight pulsar]

supporting sa handarbeit is a yike

[coral temple]

Has any1 here used a Canadian website that’s called: banggood

And if so is it reliable

I wanna buy a gamakay k66

[queen sigil]

starting tmrw

[queen sigil]

nice

[wraith roost]

I think that’s the first time you’ve said something positive about my purchases.

Is it an April fools joke?

[queen sigil]

no that's because there's good things and bad things about purchases

I just like to point out the bad things

also can u send a pic of the keyboards

i wanna see how tall they are compared to the other ones

[swift lantern]

Ur40 time

[wraith roost]

This is with the feet folded down

[queen sigil]

so its still kinda tall

but not close to the other ones

[wraith roost]

Looks the same as my gk61x

[swift lantern]

I wonder how hard removable cable mods are ..

[timber ridge]

nice

[daring zenith]

Nice

[queen sigil]

Nice

[wraith roost]

Nice

[queen sigil]

depends

if everything is working fine id upgrade ur keyboard

and maybe wash that mousepad

[sick needle]

this a nice keyboard

and is it safe to wash it?

will it wear the fibers?

[queen sigil]

I mean if you consider that keyboard to be good then don't replace it

I'm saying I would replace that

[sly warren]

I wouldn't consider a Razer keyboard to be "good"

[jolly glacier]

Fr I like to wash my mousepad pretty regularly.

[sly warren]

And, if you don't like to wash your mousepad, replace it with a hard pad.

[jolly glacier]

How about steelseries?

[sick needle]

200$ keyboard

[sly warren]

Much easier to keep clean.

[queen sigil]

All because a keyboard is expensive doesn't make it good

[sick needle]

I dont mind washing it I just want to know if its safe?

[sly warren]

More like a $100 dollar keyboard branded as a $200 keyboard.

[daring zenith]

Keychron/Leopold/Durgod time?

[jolly glacier]

As safe as it can be just Don't scrub it like a madman.

[sly warren]

I just soak my cloth pads in soap and water.

[vagrant abyss]

@sick needle ca nt tell since they're all the same now

is that a blackwidow or huntsman

[sick needle]

huntsman elite

[vagrant abyss]

red or purple

[sick needle]

wym?

[vagrant abyss]

the keys

[sick needle]

purple

[vagrant abyss]

oh nice

I got the reds

[sick needle]

whats differnce

[vagrant abyss]

urs a clicky

right?

[sick needle]

yeah

[vagrant abyss]

mine silent and a little faster

it's honestly one of the best keyboards

sucks they came out with the new one like 3 months later

[sick needle]

damn fr?

[vagrant abyss]

Yeah the v2

feel scammed

[queen sigil]

i mean if I were you and I was gonna upgrade something id get rid of it

but all it really looks like you are after is the "gamer" aesthetic so i mean

whatever

[vagrant abyss]

don't listen to him he's the guy who usually comments razer sucks

Hyperx and logitech use cheap plastic

[queen sigil]

And so does razer?

[vagrant abyss]

People be like the keyboard died in 2 months

[queen sigil]

I don't think you have dont that much research on peripherals either

[vagrant abyss]

they don't know how to handle things

I got a blackwidow off ebay 8 years ago and still works to this day

[queen sigil]

So what?

I have a logitech keyboard thats been constantly used for over 6 years

[vagrant abyss]

so then no brand is trash

maybe you pay a little for name tax

but it's worth it

[queen sigil]

If a keyboard works or not isn't the only thing that decides weather it's good or not

[vagrant abyss]

[queen sigil]

Because if that's all you care about then just get a 5$ dell membrane

those last a long time and I have one that's probs over 10 years old

[vagrant abyss]

Does Logitech have lasers in their keyboards?

for faster response

[queen sigil]

that's all marketing

[vagrant abyss]

[queen sigil]

Doesnt matter they all have the same polling rate

optical switches dont really do anything when it comes to actual preformance

And I mean it's not exactally a secret that razer products arent the best quality

and they are overpriced

[vagrant abyss]

I never found that to be true

the overpriced maybe

quality out of the many products i've used none have ever broken

only thing that has happened to something was the glue came off on the logo part in the middle

[queen sigil]

All because a product doesnt break doesn't mean it's good quality

[vagrant abyss]

Maybe I take care of my items but the quality is all there

[queen sigil]

it's really not

razer keyboards are almost all plastic and have terrible flex

[royal sandal]

^

I know this

It’s a fact

[vagrant abyss]

everything is all plastic

[queen sigil]

and if you think their keycaps are high quality then you are probs blind

razer on the right

OEM keycap on the left

much thicker and doubleshot

razer is like laser etched and thin ABS

[vagrant abyss]

Oh are u from the reddit

[queen sigil]

what?

I don't use reddit

[vagrant abyss]

do you do the keyboard meetups

[queen sigil]

no?

what does reddit have to do with razer having poor quality products

[vagrant abyss]

is it cause my keyboard doesn't look like this

[queen sigil]

no it's because you are insisting that razer makes some of the best keyboards

[vagrant abyss]

They do though

[sly warren]

No they don't.

[vagrant abyss]

[sly warren]

Their keyboards are all double the price they should cost.

[queen sigil]

Have you ever thought that you don't know as much as you do

I don't understand how you can call their products good quality when they are literally worse then basically every alternative

[vagrant abyss]

oh the cheaper option

[sly warren]

They aren't even "cheap"

[queen sigil]

razer is the cheap alternative

without the cheap price tag

[vagrant abyss]

This is the android is better than iphone argument

not worth my time

[queen sigil]

fun fact in that image that keycap on the left came from a 40$ rando keyboard

and the one on the right came from a 150$ razer keyboard

keyboard on the left was all aluminum and the one on the right was all plastic

If paying 150$ for a cheap peice of plastic with more peices of cheap plastic on top is what makes you happy then you do you

[vagrant abyss]

aluminum top

but carry one

[queen sigil]

But don't go around thinking you actually know what you are talking about

[sly warren]

It's not aluminum

[vagrant abyss]

[sly warren]

It's plastic

[queen sigil]

some weird aluminum

[sick needle]

LMAO

LMAOOOOO

[vagrant abyss]

thats an old keyboard

not one of the modern ones

[queen sigil]

\

literally the same keyboard you sent a ss of

[vagrant abyss]

i got that one in 2014

u can see i clipped it

[queen sigil]

And send a razer keyboard

i'll send a better alternative

plus it seems all you care about is the branding of the keyboard

[vagrant abyss]

No I actually went into best buy and microcenter to try them hands on

[queen sigil]

[vagrant abyss]

oh no he goes out in public 😦

[golden escarp]

you hecking goblins

[vagrant abyss]

Current keyboard

[queen sigil]

and how much did you pay for that

[vagrant abyss]

160

[queen sigil]

[golden escarp]

35 for my k552

B)

[vagrant abyss]

Felt the best to me over the hyper x and logitechs

[queen sigil]

for that price you could have gotten maybe a leopold keyboard https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_list&c=365

or maybe a varmilo keyboard https://en.varmilo.com/keyboardproscenium/

[vagrant abyss]

I don't mind paying name taxes

[queen sigil]

or maybe a durgod keyboard https://www.amazon.com/stores/DURGOD/Homepage/page/5A6E22AB-2533-4960-A32B-847AC69918FD

all higher quality keyboards

most for a lower price

[golden escarp]

do i turn into goblin

[vagrant abyss]

[queen sigil]

what

[vagrant abyss]

Feels good to use the ones everyone hates

[golden escarp]

peripheral goblin

[vagrant abyss]

When they say razer sucks but I'm still owning with it

[queen sigil]

I don't care what you use

It's the fact ur saying razer makes the best keyboard

[vagrant abyss]

[queen sigil]

purely based on opinion

[vagrant abyss]

I mean

it's all opinions

[queen sigil]

I mean quality is something almost everybody can agree on

All because say ur razer keyboard lasted 8 years or however doesnt make the alternatives worse

especially if you haven't owned any of the alternatives

[golden escarp]

^

[vagrant abyss]

[golden escarp]

i lovve my RD keeb but im for sure going to switch it up occasionally

[vagrant abyss]

Why own something different if it's not broke

[golden escarp]

why not try something new?

[vagrant abyss]

I have

hands on experience with the other brands

sorry

POPULAR

brands

[golden escarp]

all of other brands?

[queen sigil]

I'm not saying owning a razer keyboard is bad

im saying they dont make good products

[golden escarp]

but saying its the best without trying other things

[queen sigil]

and their products are low quality

compared to other options

and by quality I mean build construction and the quality of the parts that make up the keyboard not just "hurr durr keyboard last a long time"

[golden escarp]

is it time for apex legends stream?

[queen sigil]

this is peripheral chat

go ask in general

[golden escarp]

and

also

[queen sigil]

because I dont care abour ur stream

[vagrant abyss]

ranked apex?

[queen sigil]

[golden escarp]

light mode aint too bad

[queen sigil]

ur opinion is wrong

[golden escarp]

text looks weirdly crisp ngl

i thought i would hate it by now

honestly

its not bad

i mean at night it would suck

but during the day?

[queen sigil]

i like dark

[golden escarp]

oh i do too

im not saying this is better than dark

its just not as bad as i thought

after like 4 hours of using it

[tight pulsar]

why do you guys argue about gamer keyboards so much

[daring zenith]

keeb good argue

[wanton burrow]

mx browns good argue

[bronze terrace]

hi

[jolly glacier]

1. Razer Ornata Chroma

2. TUF k5

3. Apex 3

[jolly glacier]

ohh

[bronze terrace]

[jolly glacier]

i have the Apex pro which was not on that list

[bronze terrace]

that has a screeeeeeeeeen?

[jolly glacier]

ill link it

[queen sigil]

razer ornata is terribly overpriced for a membrane
Tuf keyboards are just overpriced and arent the best quality and same with steel series

[bronze terrace]

they are on kijiji for like 60$ each

[jolly glacier]

https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/steelseries-apex-pro-keyboard-with-display-backlit-usb-key-switch-omnipoint-adjustable/apd/aa760821/pc-accessories?gacd=9614064-1012-5761040-266794588-0&dgc=st&ds_rl=1291002&gclid=CjwKCAjw3pWDBhB3EiwAV1c5rGEej4nufMbnkJduRQIMvnD-xeiLvTtVCGyW8UUPd2PUN2gfT7RGZRoCIDwQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

200$

[jolly glacier]

im sorta a splurge when it comes to tech

it is a really nice keyboard tho

[bronze terrace]

@queen sigil which one should i get then tuf or apex?

[queen sigil]

I wouldn't get either

[bronze terrace]

i mean yeah thats tru

ok\

[queen sigil]

HOw much do you have to spend

[bronze terrace]

like 60$ cad i want a wrist wrest too

[jolly glacier]

i think the budget is a bit limited and will probably work against you getting something that fits

[bronze terrace]

75$ could doo

say i had no budget what would you reccomemend

[jolly glacier]

ahh see that opens up some better possibilitys

[queen sigil]

yeah id save up money

[queen sigil]

a Keycult 1/65 with Cherry MX vintage blacks

[bronze terrace]

i want hot swappaple key caps and swtiiches and wrist wrest too

[queen sigil]

how swap keycaps?

or key switches

[jolly glacier]

well save up and make sure it fits you and your play style

[bronze terrace]

changeing them easily

[tight pulsar]

no keycult is rookie numbers get an otd board

[bronze terrace]

[queen sigil]

for 200CAD jsut save up and go custom

[bronze terrace]

wdym?

[queen sigil]

get like a kbd67 lite with switches and keycaps

[jolly glacier]

custom boards are a bit odd

[tight pulsar]

thats like the entire point

[bronze terrace]

is apex pro hot swappable with switches?

[jolly glacier]

well im not sure i just kept the factory ones on

[queen sigil]

nope

[bronze terrace]

damn it

[queen sigil]

174 USD before shipping

[bronze terrace]

thats like the dream keyboard exept the swappable

[queen sigil]

thats keycaps switches and the keyboard

people wanna get the apex pro because of the switches

[bronze terrace]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh

ok

[queen sigil]

because of the "oMnIpOiNt sWiTcHes"

[bronze terrace]

lol

[queen sigil]

just go custom if u got 200CAD

[bronze terrace]

whats the difference between the pro and the pro tkl?

[jolly glacier]

hahah they work pretty well for lean peaking

[queen sigil]

What?

[queen sigil]

i mean isnt one just TKL

other one isnt

[bronze terrace]

also, if i swap the switches can i change the actuation then?

[jolly glacier]

i barely have to touch the switch

[bronze terrace]

or is that the switches

[queen sigil]

no

[bronze terrace]

ohh

[queen sigil]

you cant change the switches on any steelseries keyboards iirc

[bronze terrace]

ok thats fine then

can i swap the key caps

?

[queen sigil]

yes]

[bronze terrace]

@jolly glacier can you just turn on 1 light on the key board?

ok

[jolly glacier]

i suppose

[bronze terrace]

ok so there is 1 led per key?

[jolly glacier]

that'd be an odd use of the customization tho

[bronze terrace]

just wondering

[jolly glacier]

for the base keys yeah

[bronze terrace]

seeing how many lights there are

oh tkl is no # pad

[jolly glacier]

the 10 key and m1s are paired

[bronze terrace]

is the actuation costomizing good?

[jolly glacier]

yeah its pretty nice

[bronze terrace]

ok

is actuation the thing is the disance you need to pres the key before it triggers?

[jolly glacier]

yep

i could show if i knew how to screenshot

[bronze terrace]

windows?

[jolly glacier]

yep

[bronze terrace]

Shift+Win+s

[queen sigil]

steelseries keyboards arent exactuallyt the highest quality

[bronze terrace]

wdym

its aluminum

[queen sigil]

aluminum doesnt mean they are good

[jolly glacier]

do you know how to access the screen shot afterwards lol?

[bronze terrace]

click on the notification the nclick the save button

[jolly glacier]

yeah that aint working well

[bronze terrace]

here

[jolly glacier]

[bronze terrace]

lol

[jolly glacier]

youd probably be better off in the long run by building a custom one

[bronze terrace]

idc about costom

ngl

[jolly glacier]

ah well if thats the case then this one should work great

[bronze terrace]

ok thx 4 ur help

[jolly glacier]

[wanton burrow]

absurd

so expensive

[queen sigil]

yikes

[queen sigil]

i play r6 on my keyboard just fine

you really dont need custom actuation

[wanton burrow]

and they were like "that's how it is priced" and "they're priced like that for a reason"

🤡

[bronze terrace]

Pls

[timber ridge]

asuka in name on april 1st

nice

[timber ridge]

and its all preference

there is no better switch

waaiiiit

actually

mx browns are barely tactile

[green wyvern]

I just want opinion honestly

[timber ridge]

if you go with any other brown like gateron, then itll be better

[gloomy berry]

🟤

[timber ridge]

between those two ill go with reds

mx browns are prob the worst tactile switch

[royal sandal]

The joke is that Asuka is a [MULTIPLE EXPLETIVE ADJECTIVES REMOVED]

depending if you can tolerate a squeaky hinge and how much youre willing to spend

either get a cheap one or psa1 or compass

[queen sigil]

[elder pumice]

is there a set of black TKL keycaps that have legends wich let rgb lighting shine through?

im open to other colors too but ideally black goes well with everything so that's what I'm shooting for

[tight pulsar]

lmao

[sweet ocean]

What happened?

[tight pulsar]

no clue

and those are brass so it's not something like getting crushed a little something really wrong must of happened to it

[sweet ocean]

wow

very weird

[queen sigil]

rip alot of money

is that from salvun or whoever made the keycap or did someone manage to melt one

[tight pulsar]

thats how it came in the shipping thing

[queen sigil]

must have been UPS

[calm cobalt]

hey guys

is the razer blackshark v2 better or the blackshark v2 pro

cuz i wanna get a razer headset

so which one should i get

cuz i love razer

[primal pawn]

just get eh blackshark v2 normal

[calm cobalt]

yeah

[neon root]

id suggest either getting the v2 or v2 X. the v2 X being $60 still good though bit less features and uses pleather instead of the foam thing that the v2 uses

[calm cobalt]

ill get the normal v2

i wish the v2 pro didnt exist cuz its the best razer headset for $160

[neon root]

audio wise its eh

i mean realistically speaking theyre all eh but that one is more eh than the rest

unless you really want wireless headsets

[calm cobalt]

bruh i even keep hearing super good reviews about the v2 pro too

eh i just want a razer headset

[west hornet]

i wouldn't get any other headset from razer but the blackshark

[calm cobalt]

exactly

the blackshark is the reason why i can fanboy over razer for having good stuff

cuz im trying to have all razer peripherals

[west hornet]

i wouldn't fan boy their mice are really the only good thing they have. keyboards are cheap quality, most of their headsets are just bad, generally expensive

[queen sigil]

i probs would just get the cheapest one

razer fanboy

razer blackshark sounds bad tho

the mic

[neon root]

theyre alright, theres definitely worse sounding headset mics

[queen sigil]

but i mean there are also better sounding mics

[neon root]

obv but cant do much about it if they want to stick to razer

[tight pulsar]

i must say this hhkb has been very nice so far

i would recommend all of you nerds to try topre

[timber ridge]

isnt there a topre equivalent ?

plum or something

[sharp kindle]

Rip 110 dollars

[tight pulsar]

yeah niz has some cheaper topre stuff but ive heard its not identical to topre/theres a difference

[left trellis]

any good headsets under $100 USD?

[devout fiber]

Hello does anyone know a good gaming headset under 75 cad

[sly warren]

A pair of Koss UR40's and a ModMic.

Headsets in general are basically trash.

[timber ridge]

drop and nk gets questionable sets

[timber ridge]

at that price there isnt really anything good

[sly warren]

The only thing "good" at that price is my suggestion

[timber ridge]

but your suggestion isnt a headset

[queen sigil]

"Most people in peripherals give bad consumer advice"
Probs lance or someone

[timber ridge]

i dont remember saying that

but seems like something i would say

[tight pulsar]

does this channel ever give good buying advice

What other finger do you use for spacebar...?

[charred rapids]

^

[daring zenith]

It can't be comfortable to use your index finger for space bar

[charred rapids]

My thoughts exactly

[daring zenith]

or are you doing something really wack like stretching your pinky

[charred rapids]

Wait hows that supposed to work

you gotta like turn your whole hand

or under

[daring zenith]

yea under might work

hm

[charred rapids]

I feel handcramps doing that

[daring zenith]

ring finger makes you move your hand too

middle finger

middle finger is just inconvient

[queen sigil]

idk youtube comments is a bigger jungle than this server

ah ok so k6 has north facing

the keycaps i wanna get is cherry profile

cherry profile was known to have clearance issues with north facing switches

i remembered stem spacers to help it

so he doesnt know how to type

Finger hover slide?

Like swipe typing on mobile?

Damn that took longer attempting it

keychron actually selling it prelubed lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRmgY94iWaA

[calm cobalt]

Keychron is expensive in Canada 😦

[wanton burrow]

how much

for a c1

[neon root]

$45, non hot swap, no rgb

$65 for rgb/hot swap

[wanton burrow]

ah i mean for momomamo

$70 here for white/hotswap

[sand igloo]

i might cave in and go for a keychron c2

i don't mind the blue switches in my current board but people around me do

idk if it's worth the 60 bucks though

[timber ridge]

you wont find any better deal

[coral temple]

does any1 have the k552? If so do u use the function keys often?

[daring zenith]

Function key usage depends completely on the person

[coral temple]

ok thx i just got it and its coming in on monday pretty happy

[daring zenith]

Fair

[sand igloo]

nice enjoy

[wanton burrow]

it might not worth 60 if u don't mod it

[last plinth]

improvement

[daring zenith]

mine is a bit wack

going to try and get 120 at some point

I should prob do 60 seconds

yea as expected a lot more errors

[rigid valve]

How much should I reasonably expect for a quality build-your-own keeb

To pay

[daring zenith]

Well, like 110$ for a board like kbd67 lite, maybe 40$ for keycaps, 50$ for switches of your choice. If you want to lube, add another 10$ for lube of your choice plus brush. @rigid valve

[rigid valve]

Uhhh ok

So around 200 usd comfortably

[daring zenith]

around there

[rigid valve]

Ok

Why no build-your-own mice

Sadge

[daring zenith]

why would you

I mean, you can switch switches out on mice if you want to

[rigid valve]

C u s t o m I a z a b I l I t y

Just think about it though
Choose a switch
An actuation force
A shape

[daring zenith]

Well

you kind of can

because you can solder on whatever switch you want on most mice

[calm cobalt]

Anyone know Mouse Manufacturer that has a Shift Button? Like the Roccat Easy Shift+?

[rigid valve]

Uh idk what a shift button is

But you could go buy a mouse with lots of buttons and configure them

Razer sells one but it’s meh
Logitech sells a better one iirc

[queen sigil]

Yeah so what's a shift button

[rigid valve]

I searched up roccat easy shift+ and it looks like a Basilisk

Idk what the Logitech equivalent is called

[calm cobalt]

The G502 i think?

Just wondering if anyone else knew

[rigid valve]

Well first we need to know what a shift button is

[queen sigil]

Still have no clue what a shift button is

[calm cobalt]

It’s basically Roccat’s Design for a a shift button but for Mouse.

[rigid valve]

Because I’ve been a mouse enthusiast for around 6 months
And never heard of it

[rigid valve]

Where is it on the mouse

[queen sigil]

so it's just a button on the mouse that activates the shift key

[calm cobalt]

You can program it anywhere but it’s usually a left thumb button

[daring zenith]

uh

[rigid valve]

Oh there are dozens of mice like that

[daring zenith]

just a side button then

[calm cobalt]

Kinda?

[daring zenith]

most gaming mice have some kind of side button on the side

[rigid valve]

G502 has a ton of buttons if you’re into that
Razer Deathadder V2 is super nice but software is iffy

[queen sigil]

yeah most mice can just bind side buttons to shift

[rigid valve]

Yep

[queen sigil]

and if not you can bind it in game

[rigid valve]

Yep

[calm cobalt]

Hmm I’ll take a look into it more

[rigid valve]

Actually while we’re here
Opinions on steelseries mice? As compared to Logi & Razer

[calm cobalt]

I wanted a Steelseries mice

But its always sold out

[rigid valve]

Oh

[calm cobalt]

I dunno why 🤷🏽‍♂️

[queen sigil]

id just get a mouse from razer or logitech

[daring zenith]

mice are weird

[rigid valve]

Mhm

[daring zenith]

it's all about shape and what you like

[rigid valve]

Is there a specific aspect of the steel series mice you prefer @calm cobalt ?

[calm cobalt]

Not really. The one I wanted was just lightweight but there’s so many competitors for that nowadays

Nothing super unique about steelseries except I heard good things about there mousepads lol

I’ve been using Roccat for a long time. But the quality just keeps going downhill sadly

[rigid valve]

I’ve never even heard of Roccat honestly :p

[calm cobalt]

Yeah it’s not popular

It’s literally not on a list for anything lol

[rigid valve]

I believe Logitech has some killer light mice

[calm cobalt]

Yeaah I’m looking into it. Also gotta look into that shift keybinding thingy.

I prefer it lol

[daring zenith]

@calm cobalt Does it do anything other than being bindable to anything?

[calm cobalt]

Hmm. Not entirely sure. But I just use it as a secondary Mouse 1 click. For example: (Right Thumb Button) Shift + Mouse 1 = Keybinding (grenade, or etc)

I dunno if I’m explaining things properly loool

[rigid valve]

It seems to basically just be a bindable button

[calm cobalt]

😅

Yeahh basically it adds more buttons on the mouse. Because one button acts as a Shift

So if you has 11 buttons. You’d get like 10 more minus the one for the shift

But realistically who has that many fingers

Lol

I dunno that’s the best I can explain it. There’s probably other things it does. But you can look into Roccat if you want to 😬

But yeah I think Logitech does something similar. And I was just wondering if anyone knows alternatives. 😋

[wanton burrow]

i'm puzzled between building with lam-ang pro for now or just kill myself and beg for leopold fc660m

[nova thorn]

Noticed I messed up the last list

S- shangrila sr

B- lambda pro, 404le, susvara, 95x mod

J- void pro, crossfade 2, hd201, b&o h4

[swift lantern]

whose list is this

[calm cobalt]

What is this list for?

[daring zenith]

headfones

[swift lantern]

sundara f tier

[nova thorn]

F tier is actually good on the list

[daring zenith]

lol

too many letters

[nova thorn]

Not enough letters

[swift lantern]

no too many, it's a bad tier list

[queen sigil]

^

[tight pulsar]

wow go argue with skiptrace about ur40 and porta pros

[swift lantern]

I can say conclusively the ur40 are a well tuned gamer headset, that's about it

7/10 comfort they are more on-ears than over-ears

[queen sigil]

im pretty sure this one kid in my band class has like dt990s and he also says nk creams are smooth

so idk

[rugged lion]

well

[timber ridge]

ur40s in the same tier as dt990s and 770s? oman

someone is not gonna be happy

[wanton burrow]

lilacs is starting to pull my interest

[merry mauve]

tiny speaker :p

[swift lantern]

Needs a bass radiator

[merry mauve]

haha yeah it did have one but I took it out of the speaker since the amp died lmao

[swift lantern]

It sure wobbles a lot

[merry mauve]

it came from a little "zealot S1 bt speaker" cool little thing cheap too

I used the flashlight on it tons haha

the flashlight still works actually..

[wanton burrow]

i think imma buy Rakk Lam-ang pro Barebones and gat yellows

[lapis flicker]

Anyone know what pop filter or microphone boom I can use for my snowball

[neon root]

those big circle ones that attach to the mic arm

like this

unless they have stuff specifically for the snowball

[lapis flicker]

Idk if they do. I haven't found anything

And idk of any microphone arm will work or if I need a specific one

[west hornet]

It’ll work as long as there is a spot to mount it

[lapis flicker]

Bet thank you

[west hornet]

the only difficulty is mounting since the snowball shape and mount is weird but if you found a way to put it somewhere sure

[lapis flicker]

I dont even have a mount. Literally just a snowball lol

[ivory fable]

How is it weird to mount if i may ask?

[queen sigil]

Because the snowball is well ball shaped

so you cant mount it to the actual mic

[ivory fable]

Ohh i thought they meant mounting the snowball to an arm or something

[west hornet]

Pop filters arent really mounted directly on the mic, mostly arm or shock mount

[queen sigil]

shhhhhhhh

[rigid valve]

bt headphones are so dumb
you have to turn them on to use wiredd

[ivory fable]

thats what i thought yeah

[torpid jetty]

soooooooooooooooo

im in need of a new keyboard

any reccomendations? (preferably tkl)

[daring zenith]

@torpid jetty what budget and what switches you like?

[rigid valve]

apparently they dont need a kb anymore

[torpid jetty]

so my budget is max 150

i think

[daring zenith]

And what switches do you like?

[torpid jetty]

i dont really mind as long as they aren't super loud

im newish to mechanical keyboards

i currently have browns on a logitech board

[daring zenith]

Do you like browns or do you want something else?

[torpid jetty]

i can go for anything that isnt blues

[daring zenith]

I'll start grabbing options

[torpid jetty]

i appreciate it

[daring zenith]

Keychron K8, non-hotswap versions are also on amazon, but hotswap is great for when you want to change out switches for new ones. It's wireless too if that matters.
https://www.keychron.com/collections/keyboard/products/keychron-k8-tenkeyless-wireless-mechanical-keyboard?variant=32018252857433

Durgot K320 TKL, very good build quality, not hotswap, and just cherry options for switches.
https://www.amazon.com/DURGOD-Mechanical-Keyboard-Switches-Interface/dp/B078H3WPHM

[timber ridge]

if you wanna get into custom kb and have something unique to yourself

id go with a c1, bobagum, U4S, or silent alpacas

with a cheap keycap kit from hk or aliexpress

[daring zenith]

Some Varmillo keebs
https://en.varmilo.com/keyboardproscenium/product_indexsubject?layout=80&model=Theme keyboard

Yea, grabbing a Keychron hotswap board and swapping out the switches can be quite nice

[torpid jetty]

hmmmmm

but the keychron is only white back light, and the rgb is sold out

pain.

[daring zenith]

Well

C1 RGB hotswap is in stock, it's just not wireless @torpid jetty
https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-c1-wired-mechanical-keyboard?variant=32321247248473

[torpid jetty]

ill be back upon doing some more research, but thank you for the help @daring zenith

[daring zenith]

:)

@torpid jetty One thing to keep in mind, keychron charges a 20$ flat shipping fee iirc, so do remember the cost when planning out what you want to buy.

[torpid jetty]

will do :)

[daring zenith]

(Buying from amazon gets rid of the issue, but also gets rid of your hotswap options :P)

I don't know why, but amazon just doesn't carry any of the Keychron hotswap boards

[near coral]

Could anyone recommend any good gaming chairs for around $100? Im not too picky, the only thing i would want is adjustable arm rests

[daring zenith]

Not a gaming chair, but going to your local furniture store and feeling them yourself :D

[torpid jetty]

is there any more, hotswap options around the web

[daring zenith]

Most of them aren't tkl

like gk61 rk61 xx61 boards

Some of those are optical hotswap, which is NOT compatible with your usual mech switches tho

Keychron is the one that stands out

[timber ridge]

theres a pinned msg about it
