#

i'm indecisive between getting tactile then make dogwater/bsthwater switches with ocean blues

#

or make long pole ks3 black

#

then matcha greens

#

it's either dogwater or black matcha

#

but i won't buy soon so that actually is just a fun idea

#

coz name could be made funny

timber ridge
#

think ima get ktt peaches but i have to get heavier springs on top of it

#

so its like another 10 bucks

wanton burrow
#

tet recently did a muc switch

#

aqua kingstem on cream housing

timber ridge
#

expensive

wanton burrow
#

so he did it

#

"at least i can make the useless switches have some worth"

#

coz they say aqua king is bad

#

so as nk creams

#

bad + bad = ?

timber ridge
#

lowkey might jus get the matchas bc prime shipping

rigid valve
#

does anyone here know what ocean blue feels like

#

and how do they compare to mx brown in terms of tactility

wanton burrow
rigid valve
#

ok i get that

#

but im looking for a keeb for my uncle

#

and he wants tactilke

wanton burrow
#

it's like the lightest linear i know

rigid valve
#

but the only things hes experienced

wanton burrow
#

it's comparable to T1

rigid valve
#

is mx brown

#

ok

tight pulsar
#

next person to use the word thocc is getting slapped

rigid valve
#

should i get T1 then
to be similar to mx brown

wanton burrow
#

like, a less aggressive t1

timber ridge
rigid valve
#

hes looking for a more rounded bump

wanton burrow
rigid valve
#

ok

tight pulsar
wanton burrow
#

t1 has sharp bump iirc

rigid valve
#

ok

timber ridge
tight pulsar
#

ocean blue

wanton burrow
#

ocena blues is less aggressive then t1

rigid valve
#

idek what any of that means

#

ok

#

i know what ophi said

#

but that graph is magik

wanton burrow
#

kekw

tight pulsar
#

mx brown

wanton burrow
#

it'd be prob nice since it's also 22 cents per switch

#

also comes in a box

#

p sure ocean blues is medium-strong tactile

rigid valve
#

Ok thx

#

Honestly if I ever started collecting something it would be switches

wanton burrow
#

same

#

me want sp stars

#

but sp star kon momo is 90cents per piece

#

also luminous cyber

rigid valve
#

Should I start my collection with the Akko CS line

#

The problem is that

#

My parents will bully me for being “financially unwise”

#

how much would this channel bully me for building a full-size keeb with a different switch in each key

timber ridge
#

its gonna be very unpleasant to type on

rigid valve
#

Yes I know

thick rock
#

out of curiosity how do the ducky keyboards compare to others in the wild?

wanton burrow
#

u could buy a broken board then use it as switch tester stonks

rigid valve
#

Yeah

thick rock
#

whats wrong with them?

wanton burrow
rigid valve
#

The boards are good boards, but they are overpriced

#

Sort of like ROG stuff

thick rock
#

whats a good price for a good board

rigid valve
#

Good products but with an unnecessary premium

rigid valve
thick rock
#

gotcha

#

yea

rigid valve
#

I’d say around 150 USD is where most boards sit
Ophi probably has a smarter answer though

wanton burrow
thick rock
#

is it cheaper to build or is it enthusiast

wanton burrow
#

leopold for quality, keychron for price-to-features

wanton burrow
#

it's way more expensive

rigid valve
#

Building is way more expensive

wanton burrow
#

but u could start with modding a prebuilt

#

like womier k66

#

nice pcb but the rainbows is ugh

#

i would gladly desolder it out from pcb

thick rock
#

how much just to get me in the hobbie and have a good board

rigid valve
#

So yeah I have a nice HyperX keeb
Was just gonna mod it with some lube and stabs
Then move on with a build

timber ridge
#

you can get a keychron prebuilt then mod it in the future whenever youre ready

#

keychrons range from 50-110usd

thick rock
#

id rather not mod id want to build

wanton burrow
#

$70-100 for prebuilt, $200-500 for starter custom

rigid valve
#

Builds will start at like 200

thick rock
#

not too bad

rigid valve
#

Yeah

wanton burrow
timber ridge
#

modding a keychron and a ducky are very differnt, you can swap switches etc

#

its not limited to jus switching keycaps

thick rock
#

i have a ducky is it moddable

wanton burrow
#

if it's hotswappable

rigid valve
#

Yeah buying a soldered board was my first mistake as someone who wasn’t into keebs

thick rock
#

its not its osldered to the pcb

rigid valve
#

Oh

thick rock
#

its not hot swap

#

its soldered

rigid valve
#

Hmmm all you can really do then is mod with lube and stabs etc
Caps

wanton burrow
#

but soldered isn't bad too

rigid valve
#

Yeah I was gonna buy a hot swap and give the soldered to my cousin who isn’t into keebs

thick rock
#

yea ive already done lube and oring and some keycaps

wanton burrow
#

u could prob resell it for better board stonks

rigid valve
#

Hmmmmm

#

That’s actually not a bad idea

thick rock
#

im pretty decent at soldering it really doset scare me

wanton burrow
#

bakeneko60, kbd67 lite r2 extras, gmmk pro, frog tkl tho not rly budget

#

soldeing is ez

#

desoldering might not be

#

u need a desoldering gun

thick rock
#

i have a solder sucker that works goood and some mesh stuff

timber ridge
#

frog tkl is p budget imo

thick rock
#

yea id need some heat

#

i just want something that is a little softer really i feel like i slam these keys

wanton burrow
#

but still budget for a tkl

timber ridge
#

its supposedly 250

rigid valve
#

Budget to me is around 100usd
Which in the keeb world is basically scrub money

wanton burrow
#

how much is it now?

thick rock
#

ebay a good place to go or buy new?

wanton burrow
#

no

#

kbdfans, aliexpress, or ask mechmap

timber ridge
#

if you want a softer feel, go with gasket mounted keyboards

rigid valve
#

Would it be scrubby to buy puddings for my keeb (it’s a gamer keeb btw) and then resell for like +40

wanton burrow
#

i think we should have mechmap here

timber ridge
#

gmmk pro is gasket mount, but its implemented poorly so its p stiff

rigid valve
#

Who/what’s mechmap

wanton burrow
timber ridge
#

^

wanton burrow
rigid valve
#

Ok

timber ridge
rigid valve
#

I thought nacho had a pin of that

wanton burrow
#

doesnt' way all but p much usable

timber ridge
#

we need a mod to pin it

thick rock
#

gummyworm what?

rigid valve
rigid valve
#

HyperX puddings on Amazon are $25

#

So I’d make some money

wanton burrow
rigid valve
#

Not a lot

wanton burrow
#

no screws

#

it just fit on the case but it's not like it'll be made to be loos

#

ez to take apart but not so loose

#

if you dunno where to buy keyboard stuff, this is a good map to find reliable regional stores.
https://www.mechmap.tech/

timber ridge
#

o thats a lot better

rigid valve
#

It’s just too convenient that the most expensive part of a keeb build, the kit
Isn’t on Amazon usually

wanton burrow
#

that's where regional vendors come in

wanton burrow
#

if i edit message the pinned one will be diff too?

#

ok it did change

tight pulsar
thick rock
#

dang what a rabbit hole

timber ridge
#

@wanton burrow half my build is akko lmao

#

p sure the switch is jus a ktt rose recolor with dif springs

#

maybe dif material too idk

rigid valve
#

Opinions on Akko caps

#

im looking for a racing wheel for my racing sim. I play forza motorsport mainly and forza horizon on xbox

#

and i have 200 usd budget before tax

timber ridge
#

i feel like racing wheels is the one thing we know least of

sly warren
timber ridge
#

true, but if he wants a wheel, who are we to stop him from getting one

gloomy berry
#

I play it with a wheel, hella fun

sly warren
#

I'd go ask on a racing sim discord TBH

gloomy berry
#

Already helped them in another channel

timber ridge
#

why is this a combo lmao

lavish notch
sly warren
sly warren
#

The more asinine thing is that the 3060 has TWELVE GIGABYTES OF RAM

#

Why TF does the 3060 have half the VRAM of a 3090?

sweet ore
#

At this point, a card's a card. Even one with slight weird specs.

#

Is the gamakay tk68 good?

vague tusk
#

What is different about red switch and brown switch

sly warren
vague tusk
#

What is the best 80 percent keyboard

sly warren
#

There is no "best" Keyboard.

#

Just avoid ones from Razer, Corsair, Logitech, etc.

steep pelican
lavish cosmos
#

Which coiled cables should i get? Looking for something under 30$

timber ridge
#

tbh i dont think youre gonna find anything good in that price point unless you get a diy kit

lavish cosmos
#

oh i guess i will wait with that then

daring zenith
#

@queen sigil I like your keycaps

#

How much did they cost?

queen sigil
#

like 40$

daring zenith
#

Hm

#

Where'd you get them?

timber ridge
#

if you want keycaps go with hk for the price

#

its on amazon so quick shipping etc

daring zenith
#

Nah, just wondering

#

Price estimates and where to get keycaps are nice info

timber ridge
#

oh ic

#

ima guess he got them off of ali

queen sigil
#

yes

timber ridge
#

bruh my order is legit all a gamble

#

taking risk with the keycaps, switches, lube and mouse

steep pelican
#

Anyone have linear switch recommendations? I have cherry reds currently and I like them but want something heavier

daring zenith
#

Gat yellows I believe are nice

sly warren
#

Gat Blacks are also heavier Reds.

#

I had Gat Blacks on my GMMK, I didn't ever lube them or anything, but I enjoyed them. Until I accidentally spilled hot chocolate all over my GMMK...

rigid valve
#

cheap as hell

#

but good

#

glarses gave them middle-of-the-road smoothness rating

#

but if you can get the milky top that's better for sound

#

the sound will be deeper

sharp kindle
#

millky top is scratchier though

#

keep that in mind

rigid valve
#

Can’t you lube that out tho

sharp kindle
#

full nylon ks3s are probably the smoothest

rigid valve
#

Ok

sharp kindle
rigid valve
#

Have y’all seen the teaser for the new Hippo switches

#

UHMPWE stems

#

Super hyped

sharp kindle
#

pog

rigid valve
#

Ofc hipyo gonna get them first

#

It only makes sense

timber ridge
#

and the switches i want been out of stock

rigid valve
#

Yeah

#

How do they feel?

timber ridge
#

havent gotten them yet

#

Hi, I'm looking for a corsair mouse, one preferably compatible with iCUE. Budget around 60 usd

queen sigil
#

uh no

timber ridge
#

corsair doesnt make good mice

queen sigil
#

corsair mice are all p bad

#

and mouse shape and size should be more important than rgb

rigid valve
#

Corsair mice ew

silk vigil
#

I don't know. I just bought the Dark Core mouse and I'm loving it so far. Why do you say Corsair mice are bad or they just straight up don't make a good mouse?

rigid valve
#

they oftentimes seem to have quality problems

#

connection and tracking etc

#

also a lot of corsair products in general are hella overpriced

#

and this sadly extends to their mice

timber ridge
#

also dont use good shapes and are heavy

silk vigil
#

I would almost argue that for the same quality of mouse that you get for the Dark Core, Logitech and Steel Series equivalents are usually about 50 dollars more.

timber ridge
#

they recently started making normal shaped mice but their old stuff followed the "gamer" aesthetic

silk vigil
#

I actually like the heaviness of the Dark Core personally. Had a logitech mouse and it was way too light for me.

rigid valve
#

G502 Hero is $20 cheaper on Amazon and the quality is similar if not better

rigid valve
daring zenith
#

Depends depends depends

silk vigil
#

Regardless, I like my mouse

rigid valve
#

p r e f e r e n c e

daring zenith
#

I thought I liked heavy mouse and then I went light mice lel

timber ridge
#

as long as you like the item you bought, thats all that matters

daring zenith
#

You like it, that's fine, others might not

#

:D

silk vigil
#

I was just generally curious why they get so much hate all the time.

daring zenith
#

Quality and software mainly, and just shape

timber ridge
#

corsair makes stellar pc components

#

peripherals not so much

daring zenith
#

No they don't

#

Like 5% of all Corsair things are nice

timber ridge
#

well cases*

daring zenith
#

Rest are poopy

#

I mean

timber ridge
#

400d airflow or wathever is really nice

daring zenith
#

4000d airflow and 5000d airflow nice, except that's like 1/20th their case lineup

timber ridge
#

yea

daring zenith
#

Except price

timber ridge
#

thats the only case that comes to mind when i think of corsair cases

#

besides the 220t

daring zenith
#

And 4000d being price of nearly td500 mesh but only 2 fans

#

5000d overpriced

timber ridge
#

true, but i feel like the 4000d is what everyone wanted the h510 to be

daring zenith
#

The more I've looked into Corsair, the worse it gets tbh

timber ridge
#

a simple looking box case with airflow

#

yea '

#

i forgot their ram is mediocre

daring zenith
#

Heh

#

Lpx bargain bin

timber ridge
#

and coolers are overpriced

daring zenith
#

Vegeance rgb blocks radiator

timber ridge
#

lpx is cool

#

they made a lower profile vengeance rgb im p sure

daring zenith
#

AIOs are overpriced for asetek

#

I haven't seen it

timber ridge
#

but id still take ballistix or gskill over it

daring zenith
#

But I've seen 2 or 3 times where people bought Corsair vegeance rgb ram and their AIOs wouldn't fit

#

Because who makes their ram wide

#

Ballistix is guaranteed better die, g.skill depends on the kit, but I trust g.skill a bit better for not stuffing random dies in ram :p

timber ridge
#

im trying to think of wht corsair makes thats good besides the 2 cases you mention

#

this is tragic lmao

daring zenith
#

I mean, some good PSUs

#

But only expensive ones, and overpriced when you look deeper into it xD

#

SSDs are wack, mp600 is basically kinda useless, mp510 has a weird write problem

rigid valve
#

my guy

#

is this peripheral

daring zenith
#

No it isn't

rigid valve
#

wait yes it is

#

nvbm

timber ridge
#

peripheral chat is op

#

we talk about watever really

daring zenith
#

It's general 2

rigid valve
daring zenith
#

And it doesn't matter what you talk about in what channel

rigid valve
#

mmm it's my days from buildapc

swift lantern
#

Man,

timber ridge
#

rmx series is nice, but you can save like 40 bucks and go with phanteks

daring zenith
#

I mean

rigid valve
#

do uh

#

would it make more sense

#

to get a dac for 150

#

or headphones

timber ridge
#

a dac/amp will make any headphones better

daring zenith
#

@timber ridge you can literally tell how they're overpriced, RMx is built off CWT GPU, which Revolution D.F. is also built off of, except revo d.f. is nice and multi-rail, and generally like 30$ cheaper

#

@rigid valve depends on the headphones, but it definitely can

rigid valve
#

ok

timber ridge
#

corsair logo tax op

rigid valve
#

the logo isnt even that good either

swift lantern
sly warren
rigid valve
#

ok

daring zenith
#

Ofc

#

But who's going to buy a 150$ amp/dac for some 5$ dollar general headphone

#

:p

sly warren
#

If you want to get started in the Headphone world, I recommend getting the Meizu USB-C to 3.5mm DAC, and either a pair of Koss UR40s, or a few other cheap suggestions.

daring zenith
#

(if you are, please get some help)

sly warren
#

The Meizu Dongle is a great device for the relatively cheap asking price, and scales ok.

swift lantern
#

Nah

sly warren
#

Yes.

swift lantern
#

Go cheaper

sly warren
#

No.

swift lantern
#

Yes

sly warren
#

No.

swift lantern
#

Yes

daring zenith
#

Lol

swift lantern
sly warren
#

It's 20 ish bucks, and the next lowest device sounds identical, and can't drive more powerful headphones.

#

Like, you could comfortably drive HD560S's with a Meizu dongle.

#

You couldn't drive them with an Apple Dongle.

swift lantern
#

I can comfortably drive m1070 with them

#

Though those are low impedance

#

If it's for desktop Meizu is fine but if it's for mobile go with ddhifi or something else

sly warren
#

Uhhh... what kind of kush are you smoking?

#

The Meizu is great for everything.

rigid valve
#

what about a 3.5 to 3.5

swift lantern
#

Indica

sly warren
#

Those don't do anything.

swift lantern
#

And it's not good for mobile

rigid valve
#

im looking for desktop only

swift lantern
#

If it jiggles at all it will cut you off

daring zenith
#

Meizu decent overall

sly warren
#

Then just buy a Meizu Dongle and go.

rigid valve
#

but

#

3.5 to usbc

swift lantern
#

Meizu and usb adapter

sly warren
#

But nothing.

rigid valve
sly warren
#

You just buy a USB-C to USB-A converter.

#

I literally daily drive a Meizu like that.

daring zenith
#

wait

#

EVGA made a hotswap keeb

timber ridge
#

they released a lineup of peripherals a while back

daring zenith
#

didn't realize they made a hotswap keeb

timber ridge
#

they kinda all scream gamer

daring zenith
#

(thought it was the usual non-hotswap offerings you'd see)

#

4k hz polling rate lmaooo

sly warren
#

For?

#

Keyboard or mouse?

daring zenith
#

Keyboard

#

like

#

bruh

sly warren
#

Ok, that's just dumb.

#

1000hz is already pushing it.

#

If it was 4000hz Mouse, that's got legit use.

daring zenith
#

ok evga

sly warren
#

Though games are having issues with higher rate mice.

rigid valve
daring zenith
#

not just games

#

@sly warren hardware were having issues with higher polling rate mice xD

rigid valve
#

is this some gamer marketing stuff im too enthusiast to understnad

sly warren
#

I think its misleading marketing.

daring zenith
#

I remember seeing something about the razer 8k hz mouse taking like 20% CPU usage in some cases

rigid valve
#

wow

daring zenith
#

well, it's about the same for icue so it's what gamers want >:P

rigid valve
#

Yay

queen sigil
#

this is peripheral chat

eager burrow
#

sorry

daring zenith
#

what about it

#

peripheral chat is general 2.0

#

we all know that >:D

queen sigil
#

that would be terrible

rigid valve
#

I really want to build with id80

#

But the moneys

#

Hmmmm what if

#

I GOT A JOB

#

Does Newegg stock keeb stuff

queen sigil
#

yes

#

i mean not custom stuff

#

but they got like chineese oem knes

#

ones

rigid valve
#

Ok

wanton burrow
#

or maybe just mod a womier k66 for the meantime

rigid valve
#

Or a C1

#

I’ll think abt it

#

But honestly my keeb is nice

#

Just needs stabs and lube

#

But idk if i can lube soldered switch

#

Can I?

#

(Without desoldering that stuff scares me)

#

Like what if I brushed the stem with lube and then pushed them down without a cap

#

So it got into the housing

wanton burrow
rigid valve
#

Ok

wanton burrow
#

doing that won't reach it

rigid valve
#

Mmmm so I’m stuck with scratchy scratchy then

#

Until I can find someone to gib this keeb to

#

And have an excuse to buy one

daring zenith
#

keychron c1 might be neat

#

and also, spray lubing bad afaik (only way I believe you can easily lube soldered switches)

rigid valve
#

Yeah spray lube bad

#

Hipyo has a couple vids on it

#

And yea C1 is perfect
But my parents won’t let me buy stuff since I already have keeb

#

And breaking it on purpose seems mean

#

But it’s a soldered keeb

#

Which limits basically everything

wanton burrow
#

if u ever find soldering stuff, it'll save ur life

rigid valve
#

im scared to solder and desolder stuff

wanton burrow
#

not buy but like, borrow

wanton burrow
daring zenith
#

soldering is scary

rigid valve
#

mm but it is

west hornet
#

soldering easy

wanton burrow
#

welp i do think desoldering is the hard part

daring zenith
#

esp when I've accidently slightly burnt myself with a hot glue gun before >:P

west hornet
#

desoldering scary

daring zenith
#

I'll prob try soldering one day though

rigid valve
#

yea

#

just not anytime soon

west hornet
#

its really not bad

wanton burrow
#

soldering might seem tough lol but i was always told how easy it is

#

it just eats time iirc

rigid valve
#

wait so

#

you have soldered stuff before though right

west hornet
#

once i held the iron on a metal stick too long then i touched other end of the stick with my finger, i had a dent in my finger from that for weeks

wanton burrow
#

no 🤡

rigid valve
#

oh

wanton burrow
#

i take notes from ppl that already did

rigid valve
#

hmmmm so heres the thing

#

im trynna mod my keeb without tkaing it apart

wanton burrow
#

i think they said to not keep the soldering iron for too long

rigid valve
#

but the only issues i have are stabs and some scratchy scratchy on the bottom out

#

but that all needs me to take it apart right

daring zenith
#

hm

#

laptop keeb esc key isn't working any more

#

HMMM

rigid valve
#

hmmmm

wanton burrow
#

wait

#

i can try some syringe and inject some dielectric grease?

rigid valve
#

wuh

#

me or u

#

also that sounds way too complicated

wanton burrow
#

ok no that's wrong perspectives lmao

wanton burrow
tight pulsar
#

people that can't solder are weak and will be forgotten

wanton burrow
#

also that desoldering tool glarses uses i think that's them ost used one in the community

tight pulsar
#

ss02 is good and cheap

wanton burrow
#

but fr tho soldered board as a begginer is gonna be hard

#

just saw someone have stab problems after desoldering

#

@timber ridge how are the Sundara treating you

timber ridge
#

good

#

I use my iems a lot more tho

swift lantern
#

Notice any hisses on the Sundara?

#

Perhaps you prefer the rumble of the oh10

#

I'm beginning to think I should just cave and get teaks..

#

Nvm, I shall simply jump in a hole

does anyone know if the mk21 60% is hotswapable?

“it seems that mqa got checks in place to prevent anyone from getting test signals encoded”

#

“so i put together a quick acoustic track and just so happened to put an impulse response, white noise, square wave, 32 tone test and the entire right mark audio analyzer test sequence...”

#

xD

#

so the truth of mqa is finally all unfolded

calm cobalt
#

do USB hubs cause lag for inputs ?

#

if i use my keyboard pass through plugged into the usb hub on my monitor will that cause input lag for my mouse

snow briar
#

pretty much every extension will add a input lag. it wont be much at all but its there

west hornet
#

not much, but many extensions lower the amount of power it can provide. only really a problem if you are trying to charge a phone with a 50ft cable

wraith roost
calm cobalt
#

my monitor has an extra power thingy in it

#

like the plug you use for uhhh routers and network switches

#

if i use that will it benefit the input lag

wraith roost
calm cobalt
#

no no the power adapter

#

lol

wraith roost
#

I’m not sure I understand what you mean by “the plug you use for routers and network switches”

calm cobalt
#

here is a photo

#

sorry i have no idea what it's called

snow briar
#

is that.... the power cord

wraith roost
#

Can you show us on the monitor

#

All inputs on a monitor should be properly labeled

calm cobalt
#

there's the giant power cord and then there's also this

wraith roost
calm cobalt
#

there's no label for it

wraith roost
#

Regardless, that will not assist with input lag regardless of what it is

calm cobalt
#

ok

wraith roost
#

Bruh there’s nothing there

#

That’s a false hole

calm cobalt
#

not that one

#

the one with the black box

wraith roost
#

Oh ic

#

What model monitor

calm cobalt
#

Dell something idk let me look

wraith roost
#

And it has the regular 3 prong ac power port as well?

calm cobalt
#

yeah

#

i think the power might be to enable charging for devices on USB

wanton burrow
west hornet
#

power is not related to input lag really

#

as long as it has enough power to stay on

wraith roost
#

They have a double click. Click down and click back up

wanton burrow
wraith roost
#

TIL

wanton burrow
#

if the clickers is like a rod which the stem flicks, it's clickbar

#

if the clicker's in the stem it's a clickjacket

Logitech g703 /g403 good?

queen sigil
#

how does that even work

timber ridge
lavish cosmos
#

👍 do you think the g703 is worth the extra 20$?

#

@timber ridge

timber ridge
#

how much is it?

lavish cosmos
#

77

timber ridge
#

whats ur grip type?

lavish cosmos
#

Claw

timber ridge
#

do you need wireless

lavish cosmos
#

No

timber ridge
#

xm1r is really nice for claw

lavish cosmos
#

ok ty will check it out

#

Its out of stock on amazon

sly warren
#

I want to flip a table right now.

#

Razer just released the Orochi V2 Wireless, and... It's so good...

lavish cosmos
#

What about the g502 hero?

sly warren
#

No.

#

G502 is a dumpster tier mouse.

lavish cosmos
#

ok

sly warren
#

It's a brick. Good luck with hand problems later in life.

lavish cosmos
#

I might go with the g403 then

sly warren
#

Why a G403?

lavish cosmos
#

Idk he said its good

sly warren

🤦‍♂️

lavish cosmos

Do you have any suggestions?

tight pulsar

👍

sly warren
#

Honestly I might buy a Razer Orochi V2... I thought i'd be free from Razer's grasp, but... the Bluetooth and 2.4ghz modes are calling me saying "Use us because we are super versatile!"

timber ridge
#

orochi v2 is p interesting

#

its like a modified 305 shape to fit more grip types

sly warren
#

I think it's a little smaller than a Model O Wired.

timber ridge
#

im testing out the delux m800

#

should be delivering early next month

sly warren
#

The Ov2 is also quite nice because it's got a swappable battery.

timber ridge
#

yea, but everyone was asking for a viper mini ultimate

#

dunno why they didnt drop that

sly warren
#

And the battery should last a hella long time also.

#

Damn you Razer... I think I'm gonna buy it and put it on PayPal Credit...

timber ridge
#

should be nice

#

their switches arent as satisfying but its more reliable

sly warren
#

Yeah, I love my Model O Wired. But... that Wireless is calling my name.

#

I'm already getting a 2.4ghz/BT Wireless Keyboard, might as well go fully wireless.

daring zenith
#

Aw

sly warren
#

If the Model O Wireless had the functionality for BT and 2.4ghz, I'd have gotten the MOWireless

daring zenith
#

MOW just stands for model o wireless :p

#

And I'm sad about keeb

sly warren
#

?

daring zenith
#

The 2x price of keychron one was the 2.4ghz one

#

And sad

timber ridge
#

how is ur mow

sly warren
#

Eh, I watched :3ildcat's review of the Iqunix A80 and made my decision on that. It's pretty good and fits my needs.

timber ridge
#

i heard very mixed opinions about its qc/build quality

#

iirc, iquinx uses those weird stabs

#

forgo tthe term for it

sly warren
#

Pretty sure they are costar stabs

#

Yeah, they use Costar stabs. Which, I've never had a board with them, so it'll be an interesting experience.

whoever invented the "thingy that grips the sides" way of swapping pads needs to be taken out behind the chemical shed

daring zenith
#

Headfone pads?

swift lantern
#

yes it's

#

like

#

it's like actually infuriating

daring zenith
#

Hm

sly warren
#

Oh, like the Koss and AT pad method?

#

Where it has the little lip around the edge?

#

And you have to feed a tiny sliver of fabric into that lip?

timber ridge
#

i like how phillips does it

#

they have like pins that line up with the pad

swift lantern
#

well yeah but that's the "ever headphone other than like 3 companies" method

#

that sounds nicer

daring zenith
#

Hmmm

swift lantern
#

velcro would be ideal

#

this is maddening

daring zenith
#

Velcro would come off tho

swift lantern
#

14 minutes I'm not even kidding and I haven't gotten a pad on

#

at this point I would rather they literally have to be screwed on to the sides or something

#

jesus

daring zenith
#

Dayum

swift lantern
#

finally got one

sly warren
#

Orochi V2 Wireless ordered.

#

Got it in White to match the rest of my setup.

swift lantern
#

why is this so difficult

sly warren
#

Holy cow, the Orochi V2 is shorter than Zy's Rail.

#

It's 10.8cm long

#

Grip width should be fine though, the entire thing is 6cm wide.

daring zenith
#

Lol

#

Screws for pads time

sly warren
#

The Model O grip width is 5.68cm so, it shouldn't be too bad for grip width on the Orochi V2.

#

It'll just be weird using a mouse that is so short length wise.

timber ridge
#

same

swift lantern

it only took almost half an hour but I did it

hm, alright ill check those out

thank you

@timber ridge not sure if you know a ton about mouses, but is the G305 lightspeed wireless good? its pretty cheap and looks decent

G305 is a good mouse for sure

alrighty

it does depend on your handsize and grip

# timber ridge where did you get your pom caps from ?

i didnt even see you question until now but i got mine from amazon but if i was gonna buy another set i probably wouldve just waited for POMs website to restock cause these took atleast a month to get here with a few days to spare lol

thick tartan
#

they are

#

just a different seller

timber ridge
#

can you link the one u got ?

thick tartan
#

cause i dont think POM sells the keycaps on amazon if tht makes sense

timber ridge
#

they prob come from the same factory

#

bc you can get pom caps from flashquark

thick tartan
#

idk looking at it now i dont think they are after looking at the sellers inventory LOL

timber ridge
#

oof shipping time looks rough

thick tartan
#

was too rough

#

overall tho happy with the purchase cause theyre keycaps i wasnt in a rush

timber ridge
#

flashquark should be quicker if you wanna get more

thick tartan
#

for the next build maybe

#

waiting for some keeb restock for my next keyboard

timber ridge
#

what you building in u rnext build ?

swift lantern
#

The only thing that scares me about teak is the lack of return policy

#

I mean heck do they even have a warranty of any kind

timber ridge
#

idk

#

but ive yet seen anyone who wanted to return em

thick tartan
#

either think or gamakay with creamerons or akko cs mods idk yet

#

was also looking at the new glorious keeb looks pretty nice

#

for the price too

swift lantern
#

Well obviously someone must not like them since you'll see them on eBay occasionally

#

But usually for more than brand new price, wack

timber ridge
#

i wouldnt waste creamerons on em

rigid valve
#

So Amazon sell now switch and caps

#

Also pcb if ur willing to build a case

timber ridge
#

they have p much everything but lube

#

unless you wanna use superlube

rigid valve
#

Amazon doesn’t have that many kits

timber ridge
#

true

#

but you cn get p much all the keychrons

rigid valve
#

True

timber ridge
#

theres a lotta hotswap kits on there

rigid valve
#

Wait rlly

thick tartan
#

yup

timber ridge
#

well not really kits, but prebuilts with hotswap

#

they have the basic gk61s n stuff

rigid valve
#

Oh

thick tartan
#

if u want kits u prolly have to visit like monstargear or DRP websites like them i think escape keyoards is also a really good site

swift lantern
#

Teak has a 1 year limited parts warranty

#

Whatever that means

rigid valve
#

Does 65% have the same alpha key layout as standard 100%

#

Or is it squashed

what do y'all think

#

Looks interesting but viper mini good enough

neon root
#

$30 viper mini or that which will probably be near $200

#

$20 when on sale

#

viper mini is literally a free mouse at this point within the small/lightweight mice lineups

timber ridge
#

got myself a vmu clone p much lol

#

189 for that is too much

queen sigil
timber ridge
#

isnt finalmouse qc worse than glorious

neon root
#

think theyre quality control is better than glorious but its not great either

#

theyre good mice; just theyre way overpriced now and not as good in this market that they used to dominate

#

plus glorious is really only bad on first batch most of the time, something theyre good at is fixing stuff somewhat fairly quick

timber ridge
#

yea true

#

glorious usually fixes it p quick

glass bear
#

finalmouse is basically the supreme of mice huh

#

small drops of

#

average clothing

neon root
#

well again, their mice are good, its just now theres so many mice within the market now its kinda dumb to look towards finalmouse if you want a lightweight mouse

#

my spelling, dont look at it

#

fixed

timber ridge
#

good mouse, bad price

glass bear
#

yeah

timber ridge
#

well, hopefully good

glass bear
#

eh im not going for it but it does look cool

#

wonder how they did the latency stuff but considering its already at 1ms

#

who cares

timber ridge
#

theres a bunch of cheaper wireless mice from smaller chinese companies being discovered rn

glass bear
#

ill probably save up for a viper ultimate on sale

glass bear
#

something like

timber ridge
#

droppin a mouse at like 200usd is not the move

neon root
#

depending on the mouse, imo the only expensive mouse thats somewhat worth is pricepoint is the gpro lightweight

#

even then its kinda a hard buy

glass bear
timber ridge
#

yea

glass bear
#

im actually in the market for one

#

i need a wireless one

timber ridge
#

xenic mice are really nice

glass bear
#

currently saving up for viper ultimate

#

but

timber ridge
#

basically pwnage mice with better sensors

glass bear
#

its 99 man

#

i make like 5 dollars a day

timber ridge
#

im bouta send back my rvu

#

i think i found a replacement for it

glass bear
#

thats like 20 days of work ssadge

neon root
#

lowest viper ultimate has been was $80 but that was during black friday/cyber monday

glass bear
#

yeah

timber ridge
#

ordered a delux m800 and its prob gonna retire my ultimate

neon root
#

imo id just go for a model o wireless or something else

timber ridge
#

its basically a viper mini ultimate for 45 bucks

neon root
#

i have the ultimate and its really teetering on the fence for me rn

glass bear
#

oh fr?

#

lemme check it out \

timber ridge
#

slightly bigger

glass bear
#

i like something similar to a rival 3

neon root
#

razer viper ultimate is a good mouse but at the same time not

timber ridge
#

in between a reg viper and a mini

glass bear
#

i have a ftip grip but also palm sometimes and rival 3 fits me well

#

thats why i was thinking about the aerox 3

#

same shape as my rival

#

but other issues

timber ridge
#

i use ftip p much all the time unless im using my g502 for productivity

neon root
#

aerox 3 wireless i wouldnt recommend from what i said before in general chat

timber ridge
#

yup

#

only 2 downsides imo is the side buttons are kinda meh
