light

[sly warren]

I'm tempted by the Ocean Blues...

[thick tartan]

isnt it hard to mod them cause of the stems

theyre like super long or something

[rigid valve]

huh

[sly warren]

I might also swap the Costar stabs on this board with plate mount Cherry or Durock stabs.

[rigid valve]

durock is godly

[timber ridge]

akko switches dont need film

[rigid valve]

yeah they tight

they need lube though

[sly warren]

Hmm, slightly less aggressive T1...

Man, this is sounding like I should buy 2 sets of the Ocean Blues as my first foray into Tactile switches.

[daring zenith]

doesn't seem like a bad idea tbf

[sly warren]

I mean, it's 27 bucks vs ~50 bucks

[last plinth]

i need hl

elp

i spilled water on kb

[daring zenith]

I want new keyboards now :(

unplug

let it dry

[queen sigil]

see yhen dont give custom keyboard advice

ist like recommending someone who wants a custom loop an AIO

[sly warren]

I haven't given any custom board advice.

I've just suggested prebuilt boards.

[daring zenith]

That is what leyo is saying

[sly warren]

🤔

[queen sigil]

ur recommending prebuilts to prople who want customs

[sly warren]

No?

Most of the people here have wanted ~100 dollar boards.

[daring zenith]

paraphrased leyo speak : "When you don't give advice to get custom keyboards, it's like recommending an AIO to someone who wants a custom loop"

[sly warren]

And at that price range it's either Keychron, or jump to ~180 and get an L80/A80

[queen sigil]

ah yes so the guy who wanted holy pandas had a sub 100 budget

[sly warren]

He never gave a budget actually.

[rigid valve]

my guy do you know what holy pandas are

[queen sigil]

or spend 130 on a custom

[sly warren]

Yes, a stupid expensive switch.

[daring zenith]

prob referring to glorious panda not drop bois, still expensive tho

[sly warren]

Both are expensive.

At least they aren't quite Zealios expensive.

[rigid valve]

w h a t

[sly warren]

Zealios are just stupid.

[rigid valve]

holy pandas are way more expensvie than zelios

at about 1.6 a piece

[daring zenith]

anyways, budget might need to be kept in mind, and I'd say it's true that with an expensive switch, you might as well grab custom board.

[sly warren]

Zealios are like 2 dollars a piece.

[rigid valve]

uh

no

[sly warren]

Oh, they've gone down a bit.

1.1 a piece

[rigid valve]

theyve always been a buck each

that was their og retail

thats what they are now

[sly warren]

Last time I looked they were around 2 USD per switch.

[daring zenith]

(glorious pandas are ~.7$ per)

but ye

[thick tartan]

[rigid valve]

what retailer lmao

[sly warren]

1.16 USD/switch for Holy Pandas

[rigid valve]

uh

[tight pulsar]

one who buys zeal switches also buys expensive cables

[daring zenith]

why have expensive cable

when you can have expensive stickers :D

[sly warren]

https://prnt.sc/12esu5y Pricing breakdown for the 3 options for Holy Pandas

[rigid valve]

yeah its about 1.2

[tight pulsar]

just get ghp they’re half the price

[thick tartan]

dont get pandas theyre overrated

[tight pulsar]

yeah

These?

[solar nebula]

do I need a switch puller to take out the switches on a keyboard

[untold sequoia]

no

[swift lantern]

Nah it's just easier

My $35 keyboard came with one did yours not

[timber ridge]

yup

[untold sequoia]

my $200 didn't came with one

:3

[swift lantern]

Dang, lame

Hey lance I went with the sivga phoenix

[untold sequoia]

But these are more for music and that kinda thing,no?

I wanted something more shooter friendly

[timber ridge]

what makes a pair of earphones more gamer like to you?

[swift lantern]

Over ears

[untold sequoia]

i didn't say gamer

i just say shooter friendly

so i just want something that feels good and i can hear gunshots and footsteps good

[solar nebula]

no I just wanna know

[swift lantern]

So literally anything

[untold sequoia]

nah

[solar nebula]

gun

[untold sequoia]

anything doesn't work

[swift lantern]

Blon 03 with dolby software

[untold sequoia]

dolby software isn't free or yes?

[swift lantern]

Nah it's not free

[timber ridge]

actual audiophile iems are prob gonna have better imaging and soundstage than anything tuned by a gamer company

[swift lantern]

Actually, unfortunately incorrect

By the vary nature of being an iem, they gave worse positional audio tham headphones in general

I've tried with many iems, you can hear footsteps fine but positional audio suffers

[sly warren]

Yeah, IEMs suffer in positional audio

[timber ridge]

especially budget iems

[untold sequoia]

So iems isn't a good option for what i want

[timber ridge]

you get better soundstage with iems that cost 100+

[sly warren]

Yeah, get some Koss UR40's you'll get good positional audio.

[untold sequoia]

but they are open,no?

[sly warren]

Yes.

They are Openbacked headphones.

[swift lantern]

They don't suffer from it too much but they do a little

[thick tartan]

just get turtle beaches then bro

[untold sequoia]

i don't like people hearing what i hear xd

[sly warren]

Why do you care?

Turtle Beaches are crap.

[thick tartan]

exactly

[untold sequoia]

why do you care about what do i care?

[sly warren]

Because your care makes no sense.

[untold sequoia]

Ok

[sly warren]

People don't care about what you listen to.

[untold sequoia]

Man is my problem what i care about

[thick tartan]

but hes talking about a shooter so turtle beach

[sly warren]

No.

[untold sequoia]

so don't think about it too much

[sly warren]

Turtle beaches are literal E-Waste

[thick tartan]

anything past tht and ur either gonna spend a good amount or ur buying software

lol

i know

[sly warren]

No.

[thick tartan]

i use apple earbuds

[swift lantern]

I like turtle beach mics that's most credit I can give them

[thick tartan]

works just fine and does all the above

[sly warren]

Standard stereo headphones will have better positional audio than adding software on top for "virtual surround" garbage.

[untold sequoia]

there is a good amount of free software for equalizer

a good software

[sly warren]

You don't need software to improve your audio

It will end up making it worse.

[untold sequoia]

it depends

[thick tartan]

i mean

[sly warren]

Not really.

[untold sequoia]

sometimes is good

[swift lantern]

MISLEADING STATEMENT ALERT

[thick tartan]

again

[sly warren]

Trust me, I tried a bunch of options.

[thick tartan]

i use apple earbuds

i dont need any of the above

20bucks

does everything

[swift lantern]

There's literally no downside to messing with EQ

If you like it hurray, if you don't you can turn it off

[thick tartan]

nor do i have software LOL

Now. if u want gaming headphones i can help

[untold sequoia]

Nah

I don't want your help

[thick tartan]

okay 🙂

[sly warren]

Gaming headphones == Literally any good audiophile gear.

[thick tartan]

^

hes mad

[untold sequoia]

i don't want to speende 100$ plus to have good positional audio

[sly warren]

You don't need to.

[thick tartan]

^

[untold sequoia]

a guy say that xd

i don't know nothing about iems

[sly warren]

~30 dollar Koss UR40's + Apple USB-C to 3.5mm Dongle for 9 USD

[thick tartan]

its tru

[untold sequoia]

why the dongle?

[sly warren]

Better than motherboard audio

[untold sequoia]

O.o

Wut

[thick tartan]

https://tenor.com/view/disappointed-face-palm-seriously-exasperated-gif-7304550

[untold sequoia]

but it will still be connected to the motherboard

i am confused

[swift lantern]

Despite it's small stature

It's an external soundcard

[sly warren]

The motherboard has a mediocre DAC, or Digital to Analog Converter. The Apple Dongle has a significantly better DAC than I'd venture a guess of 99% of motherboards.

The better your DAC is, the better your sound will be, up to a certain point.

[thick tartan]

so now u can hear ur pew pews

[sly warren]

You can't have a DAC that makes a 30 dollar pair of headphones sound like a 300 dollar pair, so there is diminishing returns

[thick tartan]

and footsteps

[sly warren]

But, the Apple Dongle is a nice improvement over the very meh Motherboard audio.

[untold sequoia]

https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Adaptador-conector-auriculares-compatible-convertidor/dp/B07S197D5K/ref=sr_1_4?__mk_es_US=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&crid=26S6Z2AEYMT6M&dchild=1&keywords=apple+usb+c+to+3.5+mm+headphone+jack+adapter&qid=1620013534&sprefix=apple+usb+c+to+%2Caps%2C214&sr=8-4

So with this

the sound is better?

with this little thing?

Even if i have a good motherboard?

lol?

[sly warren]

Yes.

Wait.

No.

Not that

That's some random garbage.

[untold sequoia]

you said dongle i put dongle on amazon xd

[sly warren]

I said APPLE DONGLE.

🤦‍♂️

[untold sequoia]

apple dongle

[sly warren]

Do you read product descriptions?

[thick tartan]

no

[sly warren]

https://prnt.sc/12euewj

Clearly NOT apple brand

https://www.amazon.com/Apple-USB-C-Headphone-Jack-Adapter/dp/B07K25P3N1/ref=sr_1_3

[untold sequoia]

you didn't it should be from apple :v

[rigid valve]

...

My guy
It’s called an APPLE adapter

[untold sequoia]

a loot of things use the name apple to promote their stuff

[untold sequoia]

so that little thing does a lot

Interesting

[rigid valve]

Uh
No

[swift lantern]

Most immediately if you had any background static before it should probably get ride of that

[rigid valve]

But that’s not the discussion
The discussion is audio

[untold sequoia]

i had static with the dongle of corsair

of my currents headphones

xd

[swift lantern]

Yeah but that's corsair lol

[untold sequoia]

the funny thing is that they send me two

because i call them for guarantee

and both went bad

[west hornet]

[untold sequoia]

so the problem is that , there isn't apple dongles xd

[untold sequoia]

i just had to connect my headphones directly without dongle

and went fine

[west hornet]

https://www.apple.com/jp/search/USB+C+3.5+mmヘッドフォンジャックアダプタ?src=globalnav

[untold sequoia]

i am still surprised that this little thing change that much

[sly warren]

I personally use the slightly bigger brother to the Apple Dongle, the Meizu Dongle. It's mostly the same DAC, but it works better for Android devices and is capable of dealing with higher impedance headphones than the Apple dongle alone.

[west hornet]

can work without dongle just fine, but some people prefer something like a apple dongle as a barebones external amp/dac the apple dongle is definitely one of the best amp/dacs in its price and can beat some on board mobo and laptop audio, not every one will notice. it can also help with electrical interference in pcs

[untold sequoia]

either way in my country doesn't sell that thing

so gg

i have to trust on my motherboard

[west hornet]

it is fine, i just wouldn't use a nice higher budget headphone with on board sound

[sly warren]

If your country has Apple Products, it sells it.

[untold sequoia]

i am still surprised because one of the thing i search when i bought the mobo was that had good audio

[untold sequoia]

nah

it doesn't

[sly warren]

I'm pretty sure Apple sells in every country.

Except maybe China or India.

Or Russia

[swift lantern]

Could be out of stock

[untold sequoia]

yeah but here doesn't sell to much

or are too expensive

so no thanks

[sly warren]

What country even are we talking about?

[swift lantern]

Sometimes when out of stock they just hide it

[thick tartan]

he lives ion mars

[west hornet]

any manufacturer will say they "have good audio" you have to look at external sources to see whether that is true or not. plus mobo is generally on lower end

[swift lantern]

Had that happen to the Meizu before

[west hornet]

yes i am on mars

[untold sequoia]

yeah

[thick tartan]

not u uwu

[untold sequoia]

i searched that

so

i dunno

[west hornet]

wat country btw

[untold sequoia]

Underground :v

[sly warren]

Most motherboards just use a mediocre All In One DAC and Amplifier from Realtek which are pretty crappy DACs

[west hornet]

apple sells pretty much everywhere i know of

[swift lantern]

Sennheiser

[west hornet]

sad

[untold sequoia]

yeah but here

they overpriced thing a lot

and i don't want to go outside with covi

[sly warren]

It can't be THAT overpriced.

[untold sequoia]

so

no thanks

[sly warren]

It isn't like covid is instantly going to kill you if you go outside.

Just wear a mask.

[untold sequoia]

man why do you like decide on people life

[west hornet]

ahem, they overprice a lot of things in general, but i am asking what country because i am curious. apple is a company in which they're global prices are pretty equal and they don't charge any more or less of original price regardless of circumstances. ive been to many countries myself. unless perhaps a third world country that has banned apple

i could care less about the dongle or not, am just wondering because seems strange to me

[untold sequoia]

Have you been on Colombia xd?

[sly warren]

Apple could totally sell the dongle at 20 dollars and it would still be a steal.

[untold sequoia]

Here charge a loot on things from apple

[swift lantern]

Nah

$8 appropriate

[untold sequoia]

how it is called that little box that helps your audio?

[west hornet]

there seems to be at least a few iphones in colombia i suppose

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[untold sequoia]

i didn't say it is imposible to find it

i just say it's a little hard, and expensive

and i don't want to go out

[west hornet]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[untold sequoia]

man why the people on this discord is so judgy

[west hornet]

wat headphones were you using or going to get?

[swift lantern]

Dac/amp?

Like fiio e10k

[west hornet]

uh oh

This thing?

[west hornet]

expensive

[swift lantern]

Should be $70 usd

[west hornet]

wait that look familiar, is that one that had generally high bass regardless of switch or not kuzu?

[swift lantern]

Think I was talking about liquid spark for that one

[west hornet]

hmm

[swift lantern]

Liquid spark is like 1/2 bass switch on e10k

Not exactly cold and sterile, but not warm enough for my tastes

[west hornet]

it would seem amazon is now in spanish

stoopid pc can't decide on a language

[untold sequoia]

your welcome

[swift lantern]

Its cuz of the link yah

[untold sequoia]

DAC seems complicated, they are complicated?

[swift lantern]

No not really

Plug usb into dac, set dac as device, done

[untold sequoia]

but it seems they have a bigger hole for headphones

[west hornet]

short answer, dac and amp is required in any device for headphones to work. there are many types and stuff, external, blah blah, most mid range use 1/4" jack rather than 3.5mm

[untold sequoia]

😮

Thanks why it seems bigger

thanks

but i think i will just trust on my mobo for the moment

i will let dac problems for the future me

thanks for the info

[west hornet]

some can be more complex than others, or might just be bigger and cased for better shielding, etc

[timber ridge]

yea

but you cant use cherry profile keycaps

[solar nebula]

ok thanks

[timber ridge]

interference issues

[solar nebula]

oh alr

[timber ridge]

what form factor are you looking for?

i can help with kit recommendations

[solar nebula]

i just want to find a 60%/ tkl keyboard base

[timber ridge]

keychron has a lot of tkl options

k8 i think and c1

kemove snowfox is a nice 60% hotswap kit

d60 lite might come out soon so thatll be nice to o

[solar nebula]

oh ok thanks

[queen sigil]

@solar nebula if ur looking for a keyboard that will feel and sound like a custom keyboard i'd probs get a kbd67 lite

[timber ridge]

not available

but closest thing to it should be the d60 lite

[queen sigil]

r2 gonna ship in june

so i meanvendors probs gonna get them then too

[timber ridge]

o tru

[finite vine]

are there any adjustable sensitivity keycaps?

like Apex Pro

[timber ridge]

not that im aware of

[rigid valve]

wdym adjust sensitivity

[timber ridge]

its really gimmicky so i doubt itll be in any other kb tbh

im p sure you can mess with the actuation point or something

[rigid valve]

uh

just get a hotswap kit

and switch swap

[queen sigil]

There are the wooting keyboards which are i think analog

[tight pulsar]

if you want a really diy one riskable made a halls effect one with that capability

dude has one of the coolest keyboards i've seen

bruh

@tight pulsar oreo knob?

[tight pulsar]

yeah

[daring zenith]

dayum

[tight pulsar]

and it's fully waterproof

[daring zenith]

WATERPROOF OREO

[rigid valve]

yesh

[queen sigil]

like waterproof or water resistant

[tight pulsar]

no it's waterproof

https://gfycat.com/unconsciousvigilantkinglet

works fine after this

[sly warren]

That's... Crazy.

[queen sigil]

but why

does he game in the shower

[rigid valve]

bathtub GAMER

[calm cobalt]

is the rk61 60% the best budget keyboard

[south iron]

the best

[rigid valve]

uh

there are a lot of budget 60%

mostly p r e f e r e n c e

[queen sigil]

best is subjective

it's not terrible

[south iron]

I don't think I would say its the best

[queen sigil]

its probs one of the better budget ones

[south iron]

We know what it is

[rigid valve]

its a good board

solid

[queen sigil]

it's better than most

[rigid valve]

but in the budget range

you have trade off

[south iron]

I mean its good, I dont know if they agree or disagree but I like the Keychron C1

[rigid valve]

thats not 60% tho

[south iron]

Oh yea

Right

[queen sigil]

a

[solar nebula]

what are is that keybaord

[tight pulsar]

something custom designed by a friend

[solar nebula]

oh ok

[tight pulsar]

it's fully 3d print and i believe used hall effect sensors

[daring zenith]

wack

how does it feel though?

[rigid valve]

i've heard that it's smoother than smoothest smooth

since there is no friction

like

at all

[tight pulsar]

yeah

heres a sound test https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IxOiimY5oI

[timber ridge]

is that the same dude with the insanely bright leds

[wraith roost]

New switch puller

[rigid valve]

poggers

[daring zenith]

oo it's that thing

I want one tbh

[amber oracle]

@daring zenith which wireless headset is the current darling?

[tight pulsar]

primekb is having a sale on some old t1's and some silent stuff

what price range naed?

[amber oracle]

its for a mate that doesnt care much about price

[daring zenith]

I don't actually know anything about wireless headsets :(
Might be able to find one on some of the pinned materials

[amber oracle]

no worries @daring zenith :)

keep in mind @tight pulsar, its headset, so mic is a requirement :)

[tight pulsar]

if he doesn't care about the prices means he doesn't care about expensive prices maybe something like deva's+modmic?

[amber oracle]

wireless

[swift lantern]

Wireless mod mic

[amber oracle]

is that actually good?

[rigid valve]

devas are godly

[amber oracle]

(mod mic is not something i have encountered personally in ages)

[amber oracle]

its been thrown at him, time will tell what he decides on

thank you for the input :)

[tight pulsar]

anytime

[swift lantern]

Audeze penrose

Maybe, idk, I don't know for wireless stuff

[amber oracle]

Audeze he is also looking at, so that angle is covered already

[rigid valve]

does anyone have the faulty tangerine sound clip

[rigid valve]

whats that

[sly warren]

KBD67 Lite

I think

[thick tartan]

Ive come to the conclusion

my new keeb is gonna inks and creams

ez

[queen sigil]

what

why

[sly warren]

And WHAT ink and creams?!?

[rigid valve]

no idea

[sly warren]

And why have 2 separate switches?

[thick tartan]

Frankenswitch

[sly warren]

🤦‍♂️

Inks aren't a frankenswitch.

[daring zenith]

lol

[rigid valve]

i think jhay means

frankenswithcing inks with creams

for whatever reason

why would you

[thick tartan]

ty clem

[sly warren]

Sounds like a bad idea.

[thick tartan]

its pref

[rigid valve]

but the names

[thick tartan]

already tested it out

[rigid valve]

Inky Creams

Inkcicles

[thick tartan]

Crinks

[sly warren]

Sounds like you're gonna be spending a LOT of money on a terrible experiment.

[thick tartan]

Crinks

got em

[rigid valve]

Crinks

lmao

[thick tartan]

i mean

i already have inks

[tight pulsar]

just get mx blacks and call it a day

[thick tartan]

spending money on creams isnt a problem

[rigid valve]

what about the Inkcicles do u enjoy

[sly warren]

Which inks? I assume they are Gat Black Inks, but I don't know if more exist.

[thick tartan]

Gat inks

i dont like mx switches

[sly warren]

That didn't answer my question...

[rigid valve]

gateron sells ink variants of all their main switches

[thick tartan]

yes blacks

[rigid valve]

but

[sly warren]

Also, if you don't like MX switches, then why are you using Gaterons?

[thick tartan]

im aware

[rigid valve]

for future reference

blacks are the most common

to inkify

since ink is black

[daring zenith]

I think they mean they don't like cherry

but ye

[thick tartan]

^

[sly warren]

You have to be specific about your wording, lest you confuse people.

[thick tartan]

sounds better in my head

[rigid valve]

the term "gat inks" is pretty synonymous with gateron black inks

[sly warren]

Because if you don't like MX switches, that means you only really like Topre or Matias/ALPS switches.

Do we still consider Topre a "mechanical" switch?

Or is it just a fancy rubberdome?

[rigid valve]

wuh

topre is special

[daring zenith]

both

[tight pulsar]

it has a spring

[daring zenith]

it's a rubberdome so fancy it's mechanical

[sly warren]

Yes, but it uses a Capacitive method for actuation

[tight pulsar]

i never said it was mechanical

[sly warren]

Dang, that's sad. Apparently Coolermaster collaborated with the maker of Topre switches to make a Topre switch that has an MX Stem compatible with MX keycaps.

But the board was discontinued in 2016.

[tight pulsar]

yeah the tkl

[thick tartan]

POM keycaps are end game

[rigid valve]

ehhh

p r e f e r e n c e

[thick tartan]

true

its okay to have wrong opinions tho

[tight pulsar]

there’s a lot of definitions on what makes a keyboard mechanical but it depends on which definition people use

[solar nebula]

is this cherry profile keycaps?

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001597102355.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.81c348219bN6AP&algo_pvid=f15db1f3-5546-4f07-974b-ae4773f39f3f&algo_expid=f15db1f3-5546-4f07-974b-ae4773f39f3f-10&btsid=0b0a556516200839227125791e22f4&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_

[tight pulsar]

yes it should be

[solar nebula]

oh

DAMN IT

i cant use cherry profile

the big sad

[queen sigil]

then get a different keyboard

[sly warren]

I've never heard of a keyboard that can't use Cherry profile...

[queen sigil]

any keyboard with north facing switches

cough

[sly warren]

Ah.

[wanton burrow]

gat inks = gat black inks

there's only one popular ink variant

if they know the others they gonna specify it

but hmmm crinkles

[rigid valve]

I mean those sounds cool

[wanton burrow]

u should've just picked up kailh blacks/reds

long pole stems too

but like, cheap af

u can also call it 'creams' in a way coz it applies to the same principle

uh

i think keybored solved a good problem

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

[queen sigil]

for 80$ id still probs get a keychron

[wanton burrow]

no not the board

he made an analogy of gateron switch's talent

it accomodate the north facing leds on cheery profile problem well

[solar nebula]

i cant find a base for less than 100$ cad

i only found one

and i cant use cherry profile keycaps

[wanton burrow]

watch that review i just sent

[queen sigil]

what form factor

[wanton burrow]

gateron switches had no interference with cherry profile caps

prob coz thin housing but yea that's cool af

[queen sigil]

r u sure

[wanton burrow]

hmmmm

[solar nebula]

60%

[wanton burrow]

it's a shallow experiment

[queen sigil]

do u need a keyboard right away'

[wanton burrow]

i'm waiting for more infos to come into

[solar nebula]

not really

[wanton burrow]

bakeneko60

$130

[queen sigil]

or just a kbd67 lite

[daring zenith]

cad tho

[queen sigil]

also isnt bakeneko GB over

[queen sigil]

100CAD?

[solar nebula]

yeah

i poor

well it doesnt matter

[queen sigil]

like 100 for the whole board or what else are you getting

[solar nebula]

100 cad for the case and pcb

[wanton burrow]

there's none

it's an in stock item

[queen sigil]

oh

[wanton burrow]

that's why i suggested it

u just need it some thin dampening solutions to fill in the hollowness it would give

[wanton burrow]

bakeneko60. ik it's $30 out of budget but it's a great board

[queen sigil]

@solar nebula what switches are you getting

[wanton burrow]

and u can also get it anytime that's in stock

[solar nebula]

prob gateron yellow

[wanton burrow]

u might have to wait more sinnce they're so hyped

[solar nebula]

im not sure

[solar nebula]

ok

[wanton burrow]

yea ks-3 yellow is nice

and oh u don't need it to buy new stabs

[queen sigil]

id assume bakeneko is a clacky keyboard and the kbd67 lite is def thocky

[wanton burrow]

since it has problems with screw-ins but it also comes with cherry clip-ins so that's a decent board

[solar nebula]

wait is this hotswap

https://cannonkeys.com/products/bakeneko-60?variant=39314464735343

[wanton burrow]

yes

[solar nebula]

YES

FINALLY I FIND SOMETHING

[wanton burrow]

nice

[queen sigil]

just get that or a kbd67 lite in june

[wanton burrow]

^

[queen sigil]

depends how u want it to sound really

[wanton burrow]

may 30th to be more specific

[queen sigil]

vendors will probs get them in june

[solar nebula]

is this cherry profile

it seems too cheap to be good

[rigid valve]

its too expensive to be good lmao

thats double what a normal gat yellow should be

[sly warren]

You could also go for Matcha Green switches.

[solar nebula]

o

k

[sly warren]

They are similar to Gat Yellows from what I hear.

[solar nebula]

eh im too lazy im going with thos gat yellows

[sly warren]

🤔

[rigid valve]

my guy

ur paying double

get some matcha greens

[solar nebula]

i cant find on amazon

big sad

[rigid valve]

mm it probably has to do with location

[calm cobalt]

He living in ice land

They don’t ship to ice land

Go to the Patric ocean

Wait

I did not spell that right

[rigid valve]

uhh i'd check mechmap or smth to find local retailers in iceland

https://www.mechmap.tech/

might not

idk

[solar nebula]

im in canada-

[rigid valve]

ok

well then mechmap def has stuff for canada

[solar nebula]

LMAO

[rigid valve]

wuh

is

[solar nebula]

i think char is dying

[neon quartz]

Char#1970 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[sly warren]

I'm really divided... Do I buy Durock T1's or Akko Ocean Blues...

[thick tartan]

not everything has to be amazon tho

[rigid valve]

it does if u have amazon giftcards

[thick tartan]

i mean

kek

[thick tartan]

both are good switches depends on the feel ur going for

are u tactile or linear kind of user

[sly warren]

I've never had a Tactile switch. Only Reds (Cherry and Gat), Blacks (Gateron) or Blues (Otemu, Gateron, and Kailh)

[rigid valve]

hmm

[sturdy sinew]

can I talk about mousepads here?

[haughty matrix]

yes please. Mouse pads are life

[rigid valve]

mousepads are a great topic

[haughty matrix]

This mouse and pad combo are my wet dream
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083C41BS4/?coliid=I1175546KOTFZ2&colid=13TEAROSHGFC8&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

[rigid valve]

looks awesome

g502 is a solid mouse for sure

[haughty matrix]

I have the wired version rn.

[sturdy sinew]

is the mousepadcompany pretty good for mouse pads?

[haughty matrix]

Is that the name?

[sturdy sinew]

yes mousepadcompany

[wanton burrow]

they aren't

[haughty matrix]

They look nice. Can't speak to the quality though

[sturdy sinew]

yea that is what I'm asking about

[sly warren]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RAnmZxDNduaGV8kB-GCvZ0MO6d9-0j9jmrU2f8dp0Ww/edit#gid=0 Here's a big list of good pads.

General Guidelines: If you are a Low DPI/Sens player, get a Speed oriented pad. If you are a High DPI/Sens player, get a Control oriented pad.

[wanton burrow]

matcha green has 55g prog spring, long boi, but matcha stem fits well on gateron housings

and cherry i think it'll fit

[rigid valve]

yes i was looking for this

thanks you

[sly warren]

NP

[wanton burrow]

nachos why don't ya just pin the mousepad list

'not the relevant to pin'

[rigid valve]

@tight pulsar plz

mousepads are the 4th most important peripheral

[wanton burrow]

yea, ppl r somewhat asking gamer mousepads too

A Good sheet for knowing which mousepad fits ur needs.

I literally just posted that.

[wanton burrow]

yea lol just for the pin

he can still pin whichever he wants

[sly warren]

Jeez, Discord has been a right pain tonight.

[tight pulsar]

yeah

[small nimbus]

razer bloatware is cringe

[wanton burrow]

man matsuzuka deskmat looks hella nice

i want it tho i have nothing to use it

not gonna put the craptop on it

[deft heart]

anyone know if the cherry mx speed switchs are quiet and good

[queen sigil]

not really quiet and good is purely subjective

IMO they dont feel that good for gaming and typing

[deft heart]

damn cause most reviews i heard said ther werent that quiet but they were good cause you didnt have to apply as much force and it didnt travel that far before it clicked

so i bought it and ummmm

yeah'

[rigid valve]

If u like em then u like em
It’s all good

[swift lantern]

to an extent I think all mechanical switches are kinda fun

[queen sigil]

I mean the point of speed switches is that you dont need to press down as far to activate that's about the only reason

and if someone calls it quiet its probs just comparing it to something like cherry blues

because there are def alot quieter switches

[deft heart]

if i like them ill message you guys when they come for my corsair k65

i wanted cherry mx red cause they sounded very quiet

cause i think i got gateron blues which are so loud but other then that they feel good to type on

[queen sigil]

if you need a quiet mechanical keyboard im pretty sure you can just get a keyboard with silent switches

if you got the budget for them i'd recommend leopold

they arent that flashy with rgb but ur getting quality long lasting parts

[deft heart]

i really want a 60% cause my 110% is so huge i need more desk space and 60% silient switchs were kinda hard to find

[queen sigil]

https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_list&c=169

look at the leopold fc660m

these keyboards are probs some of the highest quality ones you can get

[rigid valve]

^
Apart from custom

[deft heart]

are corsair keyboards high quality?

[queen sigil]

they're not that good

[deft heart]

what about cherry mx black?

[queen sigil]

blacks are pretty heavy switches

makes it easier to type lightly so if you type lightly its quieter

[queen sigil]

i mean pure quality wise its probs better

[swift lantern]

sentences that have the capacity to be taken incredibly out of context

[queen sigil]

why are you here

[swift lantern]

[queen sigil]

it feels like all you do is complain about some audio thing to like one person who might actually listen

[coral temple]

Bro who thought it’d be a good idea to open a switch and just put lubricant in it?

[queen sigil]

wdym

someone who knows how a switch works?

[thick tartan]

everyboard and their mother is OoS

[swift lantern]

Huh

[thick tartan]

Out of stock

keebs

read

[wanton burrow]

only the hyperglide blacks and retooled blacks r good iirc

rest idk if ok

retooled blacks is hyped but i think it's also hard to just buy

hyperglides are scratchy iirc but benefits from breaking in

[green sentinel]

is steel series decent to buy keyboards and mice from?

[wanton burrow]

keyboard ig no idk bout their mices

[green sentinel]

what would you recommend

[wanton burrow]

keychron, leopold, womier boards

[little crater]

https://open.spotify.com/artist/77s5NAGQbxu8oLstaqSwHE?si=GUeyOxVDQ2e69oB618p9oA

i figured some of yall might get a kick out of this

theres an artist verified on spotify as MBR, cracks me up

aaaaahhhhhhh the record sleeves look like floppy disks

thats soooooooo effing cuuuuuuuuute

[ember girder]

So I got the m27q monitor and it doesn't have speakers. It has an aux port though so I was thinking I would get some speakers, any recommendations? Preferably not expensive

[sly warren]

That aux port is gonna sound like ass warmed over.

[sweet ore]

Wouldn't it make more sense to hook the speakers up to the PC itself?

[sly warren]

Yes, yes it would.

[amber oracle]

that it is

[wraith roost]

New mouse, who dis?

[lavish cosmos]

Looking like an old phone lol

[coral temple]

Mousculator

[calm cobalt]

any good mouse keyboard combo around 100

[coral temple]

I mean combo? Or like 2 separate things

[snow briar]

keycron c1 and any wired mouse u want

lol

[calm cobalt]

either one

[daring zenith]

keychron ftw

[wanton burrow]

combos rly won't be that good of a buy imo unless it's like, a $50 office keyboard + mouse bundle from a shop's sale or smthn

[daring zenith]

I think they mean they want a mouse and a keyboard

[wanton burrow]

well ik that

those "combos" exist as well and idk if there was even any good one lol

so uh

@calm cobalt u can go for keychron C1 or Womier K66 (u cna turn of it's rainbows anytime) fot the keyboard and idk bout the mice

[wraith roost]

I just ordered one

[sweet ore]

But... why?

[wraith roost]

For the flex

Does your mouse have a calculator? Didn’t think so

You can actually get a working white one off eBay for $12

I paid more to get one brand new

[coral temple]

Can sum1 that has a tkl link me their keycap set I need ideas

[coral temple]

Ohhhhhh nice I like those

[coral temple]

Lol I’m gonna get the keychron c1

@daring zenith

Sorry for ping

[wanton burrow]

hako trues?

[coral temple]

Like them they’re for typing

Imma be typing and gaming I like the feedback

But other than that idk a GOOD switch for gaming

[sly warren]

You won't get the full feel out of them from a Keychron.

[coral temple]

Idk if that’s a good one for gaming

[sly warren]

A good gaming switch is literally whatever your favorite switch is.

[wanton burrow]

upgrade is doable

[daring zenith]

what

won't get full feel out of them from a keychron?

[wanton burrow]

but tkl kits is uh

[daring zenith]

I mean you won't get the sound but, you will get the feel lol

[wanton burrow]

$300+ iirc

[coral temple]

Alr I’ve heard the trues they sound nice I’m pretty sure their pretty light and have a good actuation point

[wanton burrow]

uh

focus on the tactility

[timber ridge]

preferences goes crazy

imagine having one in 2021

[daring zenith]

@timber ridge I mean objectively, you will be able to press down on the entire switch, no matter the board xD

unless board is mega dumb

[timber ridge]

the real question is, what is a "full feel"?

different keyboards have differnt mounting systems

is a soft feeling gasket a full feel?

[daring zenith]

I say being able to feel the switch press down, the simplest explanation

[wanton burrow]

well tbh if ur getting a medium-storng tactile it'll prob won't give af about ur board lol (feel wise)

[timber ridge]

yea ik, im jus saying wht skiptrace is saying is complete nonsense

[daring zenith]

so am I lel

[wanton burrow]

wait

[timber ridge]

how are the t1s in your keychron ?

[queen sigil]

[daring zenith]

very nice

I very like the t1s

[timber ridge]

i cant tell the dif between gasket and my last board

i dont bottom out hard enough

[queen sigil]

no a good gaming switch is whatever you like for gaming

[queen sigil]

hah i do

[timber ridge]

i can tell the weight dif tho

[wanton burrow]

wtf
