Lets unbox the new Klipsch Promedia 2.1 computer speakers system. Wondering what computer speakers are good in 2020. The Klipsch Promedia 2.1 is THX certified. This means that Klipsch meets certain acoustical requirements and sound qualities get THX's stamp of approvial. Lets do a quick unboxing, of the Klipsch Promedia 2.1 speakers. Lets see wh...

none of them work

sly warren
#

It's the Realtek...

ember girder
#

thats what is selected

sly warren
#

Did you... TURN THEM UP?

ember girder
#

yes

sly warren
#

I'm very skeptical.

ember girder
#

Im dumb but not that dumb

sly warren
#

This is 100% PEBCAK

ember girder
#

probably did miss a step tho

sly warren
#

Watch the video I just posted.

#

Gotta make sure the bare wires are plugged into the subwoofer correctly.

ember girder
#

yeah he did what i did

#

ill recheck the wiring

#

unplugged the wires and then put them back in

#

still doesnt work

#

im thinking its the pc or something

#

i touched the green plug and it made a static noise

sly warren
#

Yeah, it could be that your rear panel 3.5mm jack is fried.

#

Try the front panel one.

#

If not, I guess you can buy an Apple USB-C to 3.5mm dongle and use that for a Speaker/Headphone output

#

It'll sound better than your Motherboard output anyway.

west hornet
#

Try to test the ports with other headphones to make sure they are working

#

And any gain that may be on the speakers is up

whats a decent mic arm i have a fifine k678

queen sigil
#

rode PSA1 BLUE compass

#

id assume some amazon gas spring mic arms wouldn't be terrible

west hornet
#

for one of those fifine a standard neewer would work. not the best but its a budget option

Anyone know a 75cm x 30cm mousepad under $25? Cant find any mousepads at all for 75cm

#

ideally would be nice to be closer to $18 or less, cuz it's a mousepad and not a $50+ artpiece

rigid valve
#

For such a big mousepad
You ain’t just paying $25

wanton burrow
#

deskmats only runs u for $25-30 most of the time

#

check out omnitype

#

they might have

wanton burrow
#

common deskmats is bigger than that

rigid valve
#

Maybe for a desk mat

#

But for a good mousepad

wanton burrow
#

welp ig

#

check pins then

open hill
#

I have the fifine k678 but I need a longer cable if I get a extender will it affect transmission

swift lantern
#

shouldnt unless it's ridiculously long

open hill
#

Like 5 or 6 feet

#

Like it's a female to male extender

#

XLR runs are rated for like 250ft

#

Am I supposed to take off the plastic stuff from the mouse feet?

queen sigil
#

like if it has the plastic wrap stuff then yeah

swift swift
queen sigil
#

yeah you should take it off

swift swift
#

I dont really like it its very fast

sly warren
#

That's how skates work...

#

They are meant to be fast.

#

Just get used to it.

last plinth
#

then turn dpi or sens down

sly warren
#

That too

#

Your probably at like, some stupid high DPI setting, anything over 1000 DPI is excessive.

steep pelican
#

😐

#

2400 dpi gang

timber ridge
#

how

#

fastest i go is 1600 but thats for browsing the web n stuff

daring zenith
#

600dpi is nice

sly warren
#

Then check your Windows Sensitivity.

swift swift
#

cursor speed is on 10

#

i guess ill get used to it

thick tartan
#

im on 3600

#

dpi lel

last plinth
#

cursor speed at 10

#

yike

swift lantern
#

I think my dpi is 1700 idk what my cursor speed is in windows

sly warren
#

Cursor Speed also affects in-game sensitivity

swift swift
sly warren
#

Well, you want to turn off Mouse Smoothing also. In the control panel is where Cursor Speed is also.

swift swift
#

i have 6 on control panel and its 10 for windows setting

sly warren
#

6 and 6 then

swift swift
#

ok ill try that

#

it wouldnt let me do it in control panel but it works in the mouse software for my mouse

swift lantern
#

hey skiptrace I gotta warn you the phoenix have a 10k peak that might bother you

sly warren
#

Hmm. I'm getting KSC75s on Wednesday.

#

So, I'm giving brighter headphones a try.

#

If I enjoy them, then I'll probably just get the Phoenix.

timber ridge
#

ksc75s are basically two circles right

#

or am i thnking of the wrong item

sly warren
#

KSC75s are clip on.

#

They are super good.

timber ridge
#

ye ik

#

they jus look a bit funny lol

#

reminds me of etika

sly warren
#

I could also reduce the peak in EQ.

#

But that sounds like work.

swift lantern
#

about 1 pc restart worth of work but yeah

west hornet
#

Clip is a bit uncomfortable

swift lantern
#

@sly warren the low impedance can have an actually great effect on percieved brightness

sly warren
#

Interesting.

swift lantern
#

finding out, very upsettingly, that the phoenix sound better on my e10k or phone than they do on the zen can

sly warren
#

So... Use them with just the Meizu Dongle?

#

Hell, I might buy an Apple Dongle just for them.

#

Kek

swift lantern
#

if you do that they will sound pretty good with basically no harshness but then they won't have the ummph

#

wish they would've made them higher impedance

sly warren
#

Hmm... Meizu + Magni maybe then...

#

Get the amplification, but keep the low end DAC.

swift lantern
#

idk what I'm supposed to do with this info...

sly warren
#

Lol

swift lantern
#

like, should I try yet another pair of cans?

#

should I sell the zen can!?

sly warren
#

Do you like them enough though?

#

Like, would you recommend them to a good friend?

swift lantern
#

I'm not sure I would unless they were an audio nerd like us

#

ok so if the problem is power distortion or whatever.. does that mean it needs a "cleaner" amp

#

I wonder if all it would take is those impedance adapters I got coming in the mail...

#

an e10k can do it decent enough, on low gain

#

that's how little power these things need

sly warren
#

Hmm, what kind of "impedance adapter" is it? Is it just a thing you plug in to add more ohms of impedance?

swift lantern
#

yeah DUNU sells them

#

30, 70, and 200 ohm variants

#

I got the 30 and 70 ohm pack, I'm curious how that might effect them

#

I was originally looking at them cuz I realized balanced armatures SCREAM if you put them on higher power gear

sly warren
#

Will wait for your review to see if the Phoenix is worth the hassle.

#

And apparently Crinacle is reviewing them.

swift lantern
#

Yeah like the fh3 are incredible on a phone or just dongle

#

but plug them into a zen can and uh... ouchy

#

I'm not sure how much I trust his opinion... hmm

rigid valve
#

id80 is alright

#

if you own an enthusiast keyboard it'll seem meh

but for most people it's really nice

@rigid valve bout to drop 170 on a gmmk pro

rigid valve

yeah

wanton burrow

fro starters, it's ok

rigid valve
#

yeah

#

v2 is decent tho

timber ridge

iirc it wasnt pingy, jus muted

rigid valve

you can't really see it in this pic but there's like a shadow/ripple effect on my second monitor. what is causing it lol

sly warren
#

You buy a new monitor.

spiral breach

rephrased: what is causing it

#

I mean I got what I paid for it was $10 at a garage sale

rigid valve

its honestly probably just old

#

I just added another monitor to setup(the one on the left) and Im not sure what to think of it. Its more convenient but it kinda looks off. What do yall think?

rigid valve
#

mmmm

distant widget
#

Its just an old tv/monitor that one of my friends let my have for free, so theres not really any harm in not using it.

rigid valve
#

yeah it looks kinda weird

#

but if it works it works

sturdy sinew
#

can I talk about monitor stands here or would that be better suited for displays?

rigid valve

either or

Switches and lube should be here Wednesday.

daring zenith

what are the pro's and con's of a freestanding monitor mount?

latent hull
#

also couldnt find another site that I trusted

thick tartan
#

amazon

#

kek

latent hull
#

amazon is overpriced for ks3

thick tartan
#

i mean

#

are u buying a tub or something

latent hull
#

only 80 for my keeb

#

80 switches

thick tartan
#

i just meant the lube

#

switches is wat it is theyre gat yellows

daring zenith
#

205g0 has been just gone from amazon when I looked at it last

thick tartan
#

ye they were

#

atleast when i looked

#

manage to get mine tho so im chillen

daring zenith
#

I got mine for a bit overpriced but whatever, good nuff

sturdy sinew
#

is 205g0 the overall preferred lube for gat yellows?

thick tartan
#

depends on ur personal pref

daring zenith
#

lube is personal preference, 205g0 is just overall good

sturdy sinew
#

gotcha

rigid valve
#

205g0 is the universal lienar lube

#

linear

timber ridge
steep pelican
latent hull
#

i mean if I am already lubing them what is the point

steep pelican
#

be able to test them out of the box and test afterwards? idk

#

it was like 1 buck cheaper for 90 so ill probably buy mine there

latent hull
#

all good I just got 80 for any that I mess up beacuse the keyboard kit is a kbd67lite so just extras

steep pelican
# timber ridge theyre good for the most part

yeah well was trying to decide between olivia clone or like some just some random plain white ones, and the clones are only like 20-30 bucks more and might as well spend a bit more for ones i think look better

#

gotta be racking up that mining money so i can not bite into my crypto accounts lol

#

droq convinced me, if im going to be doing a 150 dollar build with the intent to do a better one in the future, might as well do 250 dollar build and not do 2 builds

wanton burrow
wanton burrow

can't reccomend clones coz the cloners stinky

queen sigil

yeah sont buy clones

#

not good

craggy canopy
#

Are there any keyboards/kits cheaper than the gk61x

tight pulsar
#

sure

wanton burrow
#

kits?

#

i've yet to see one

#

and if there is, i doubt it's even worth getting

#

tbh in that point it's better to get a prebuilt and mod them than buy gk kit

at least you know the usb port won't fall of so easily

Anyone have any experience with the Kain Series of mouses by Roccat? Specifically the 122? After four years my 15 dollar amazon mouse finally gave out on me and i was thinking of investing in a nice one

sly warren
#

I personally wouldn't buy a Roccat mouse in the first place. My dad used to use one, but the left click gave out after about a year, and the software sucked because it wouldn't remember his settings.

remote zodiac
#

I have a R.A.T. 7 scroll is janky and right click is borked

prisma niche
#

@sly warren do you know when that was? It looks like they've started using new technology for their left and right clicks and the software for the LEDs is supposed to be pretty decent, was your dads recent?

#

But if he had a bad experience like that I prob wouldnt get one

sly warren
#

It was from 2019 to 2020

#

Just do what I said earlier.

prisma niche

Got it thanks

swift swift
#

do all mechanical keyboards come with taller keycaps?

tight pulsar
#

some profiles are taller than another, but overall they will be taller than lower profile keycaps

swift swift
#

oh

tight pulsar
#

everything above g20 are normal (mx style) keycaps, g20 is logitech’s own, and mbk are kailh choc switch keycaps

#

if you want low profile mechanical iirc choc switches are the usually the best bet

swift swift
#

oh

#

i can just buy keycaps for it

tight pulsar
#

what keyboard?

swift swift
#

red dragon k552 its the rainbow backlight version with outemu red switches

tight pulsar
#

you should be able to use any profile until dsa on that list just fine

#

there’s a bunch of other profiles not on that list but as long as they say something about mx or cherry mx stem you will be fine

swift swift
tight pulsar
#

g20 keycaps only works on their own logitech switches

swift swift
#

oh

tight pulsar
#

you can use any of these and they should work

swift swift
#

ok

daring zenith
#

what even is TEA?

#

low profile switch keycap?

tight pulsar
#

sculpted choc keycaps

daring zenith
#

hm

tight pulsar
#

anything that says ā€œcherry mx stemā€ or ā€œmx stemā€ (looks like a +) should work on your keyboard, just make sure it has the size keycaps (make sure the spacebar isn’t too long or too short, etc)

swift swift
#

ok

tight pulsar
#

it looks like a normal spacebar length so anything that says 6.25u spacebar should be fine

swift swift
#

ok

rigid valve
#

Hey nachos

#

Have u ever seen 5.25u space bar

tight pulsar
#

isn’t that just 5

rigid valve
#

But the spacing

tight pulsar
#

well yeah

#

wait til you see the 3.25u apple one

what pcb should i buy from kbd fans ( i want rgb)

sly warren
#

Just get a KBD75 kit.

queen sigil
sly warren
#

I just can't please you.

queen sigil
#

remember when i said dont give custom keyboard advice

sly warren
#

He wanted a KBDfans PCB. I gave him a whole kit.

#

That way he doesn't have to buy anything else but switches.

queen sigil
sly warren
#

What is so wrong with giving them the whole kit instead of just a PCB? What if he hasn't thought about a case or anything else?

queen sigil
sly warren
#

I mean the whole kit has everything except switches.

#

So, it's basically the closest thing you can get to a "prebuilt" that you just have to assemble yourself.

queen sigil
#

except for the fact you out of all people shouldnt be recommending keyboardsq

daring zenith
#

People asking for pcb most likely already has the rest of the build in mind

#

Otherwise they'd just ask for a keyboard

#

Anyways

wanton burrow
pearl ginkgo

nah

#

i wanna get a resin case

wanton burrow

oh

pearl ginkgo

and a pcb and plate and everything custom

wanton burrow

the dz60/65rgb then

pearl ginkgo

rn im using an apex pro tkl but i wanna build custom

and get an experience

wanton burrow

depends on the size of the case but tbh

bakeneko is pog

60% but the mounting style makes it so good

also only $130 PogU

how do i fix my keyboard wobble on the left side

wanton burrow

loose screws or smthn?

unless u buy pc plate then maybe it'll fit

Ight boys, I got an issue. Long story short, my Bluetooth headset won’t have any sound when connected to my pc. It connects wirelessly via a usb, my mouse works fine wirelessly via usb so I’m really lost. Any advice?

rigid valve
#

Uh

#

Have you tried turning it off and on again
Have you checked what audio output you are using

marble sparrow
#

Yes and not sure about the second one

#

how would I check that

rigid valve
#

Ok

#

Go to bottom right where there is volume slider

#

Above that should be a thing saying what audio output you have

#

Click on that

#

And it should have some choices

#

Usually there’s an option for ur monitor speakers if they exist and ur mobo etc

marble sparrow
#

Yea I have the one with my headset model selected

rigid valve
#

Hm

marble sparrow
#

I even went as far as resetting my pc

#

Still nothing

rigid valve
#

Can u try connect headset to different device

marble sparrow
#

Like my phone?

rigid valve
#

Just something

marble sparrow
#

Yea sure

rigid valve
#

Anyways this is as far as I can take u
It’s past 10:00 over here and I have school tmrw

marble sparrow
#

alright

#

later

marble sparrow

found the issue, updated drivers, stupidly logitech made it to where you had to download this old software to update the headset firmware.

thank you anyway

I've never had a good experience getting my Bluetooth IEMs to work with my PC or Laptop. Both are using Intel Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo chips (PC has an AX200, Laptop has an older AC chip)

#

I either get mediocre audio quality and a lot of lag, or absolutely ass quality and microphone support with the same amount of lag.

#

These are the same IEMs I daily drive on my phone at work.

#

And I've tried other BT audio gear before too. Same results.

queen sigil
#

skiptrace knows all

#

I had a pair of bt earbuds myself

#

Worked fine on a much worse wifi card

#

Audio quality is as good as bt can be, no latency either

snow briar
#

bt bad

floral lake
#

But bt is always inferior to wired

sly warren
#

Maybe it's just some weird combination of my card and gear.

#

The IEMs I have currently don't support AptX, but I did try with a verified known AptX compatible pair, and the results were the same.

floral lake
#

Mhmm, that's definitely odd

sly warren
#

Tried driver updates too.

#

My Xbox One and 8BitDo controllers work flawlessly over BT also.

#

It's super strange.

sly warren
#

Interesting.

#

Might pick up a pair of AptX LL headphones and that Avantree thing. It'd be nice for playing Elite Dangerous to be almost completely wireless (Still need a wire for the pesky HOTAS)

#

Though I might need Mic support...

@swift lantern There's a new Schiit Magni called the IEMagni. Its designed for IEMs or Headphones. One setting has Negative Gain. It might be perfect for the Sivga Phoenix.

I mean the phoenix sound great on anything that isn't overpowered

#

Or well I mean, it could even be the case that the zen can just isn't cutting it

#

Hard to know without spending a gorillion dollars on different amps

sly warren
#

Fair.

#

I'd probably start with the Phoenix.

#

And then add the Modi and IEMagni

#

The IEMagni is another 20 dollars over the normal Magni. But having the extra versatility is nice.

swift lantern
#

I was actually gonna try the q3 I think

timber ridge
#

kuzu whats ur current upgrade plan rn

sly warren
#

Q3? Is that a FiiO product?

swift lantern
#

I'm hoping I try the q3, love it, and never buy anything again

timber ridge
#

portable dac/amp?

swift lantern
#

Yeah

timber ridge
#

hip dac op

#

drove my sundaras perfectly fine with a balance cable

swift lantern
#

I'm sure the q3 could too

#

It's 325mw @300ohm over balanced

timber ridge
#

o gg

sly warren
#

JESUS

swift lantern
#

Other than that, I'm hoping I officially settle

sly warren
#

I might buy one if your Phoenix sounds good out of it.

#

Then I'd never need another DAC or Amp

swift lantern
#

And if I continue to love my phoenix I might get some hart audio cables or something

sly warren
#

Yeah, getting a Balanced Cable for the Phoenix sounds like a meme though.

#

You don't need that much sheer power.

swift lantern
#

They do unbalanced too don't they

sly warren
#

I think so?

swift lantern
#

Just very sexy cables in general

sly warren
#

I'd probably buy a Balanced anyway

#

If I get a Q3

swift lantern
#

Maxxed out at 7 o clock KEKW

sly warren
swift lantern
#

Yeah they do make 3.5 though

#

$51 kinda a lot for a cable but hmm

sly warren
#

What about those Quick Disconnect cables where you can swap tips?

#

I think Zeos uses those.

#

Seems neat.

swift lantern
#

Ohhjhh those are probably even more expensive

#

Albeit transferrable

sly warren
#

Oh. All Hart Cables use Interconnects.

#

So you can swap tips.

swift lantern
#

The end bit can screw on and off? Not evident by pictures I didn't realize

timber ridge
#

found this funny lmao

sly warren
#

So you can use 3.5mm standard, 4.4mm balanced, 2.5mm balanced, Double XLR Balanced, Double Mini XLR Balanced, etc.

The KSC75 are what the Porta Pros are missing.

Well, the answer is YES you can.

hey does anyone know a good site thats not too expensive to buy gateron silver switches? im having trouble deciding on whether or not i should get the gk61 in white with silvers for about $90 or the rk61 in white with red switches which i can replace with silvers later for 55.24
the problem is, is that idk if i should buy the gk61 or if it would be better and cheaper to get the rk61 and buy silvers later\

queen sigil
#

@viscid shale like speed silvers?

#

cherry?

wanton burrow
wanton burrow
#

unless u have glarses gun but that' p expensive

wanton burrow
viscid shale
#

they could be called speed silvers but im not sure

wanton burrow
queen sigil
#

@viscid shaleany reason you want those switches specifically?

wanton burrow
queen sigil
#

like the gateron optical silent silvers?

viscid shale
wanton burrow
#

what

viscid shale
#

?

wanton burrow
#

speedswitch =/= faster

viscid shale
#

i didnt say that

wanton burrow
#

welp what do u mean by "fastest" then

queen sigil
viscid shale
#

they have a faster actuation point and response time

#

but back to the question though, does anyone know where i can get switches that arent overpriced or whether or not i should buy the gk61/rk61

queen sigil
#

but yeah lower actuation distance switches hardly make a difference if the travel is the same

#

unless you don't bottom out while typing

viscid shale
#

yeah the main reason is just because i like how they sound and feel tbh

queen sigil
#

Have you already tried them?

viscid shale
#

i was originally going with reds but then i decided on yellows, then decided on silvers

wanton burrow
#

haven't heard rk to sound anywhere decent

#

even modded

viscid shale
queen sigil
#

I really doubt bestbuy would have optical silver switches

viscid shale
queen sigil
#

maybe you are getting optical silvers confused for cherry MX speed silvers

viscid shale
#

so it was the closest i can get

wanton burrow
#

or kailh speeds

viscid shale
#

im getting them because ive seen lots of reviews and sound tests on youtube and i genuinely really like them

wanton burrow
#

hmmm sure

queen sigil
#

Because gateron optical silvers are basically the same exact switch as a red

#

except a lower actuation distance

#

but the travel is still the same so it hardly matters

viscid shale
#

yeah but as i said before, i like the sound of silvers a lot better and the feel of them

queen sigil
#

but they sound like the same

#

nvm

viscid shale
#

not exactly

#

yea

wanton burrow
#

but have u ever heard of the other budget options tho šŸ¤”

#

akko cs switches

viscid shale
#

no

wanton burrow
#

ktt is the manufacturer so expect it to be tight af and be smooth already stock

queen sigil
#

I mean they are basically the same exact switch but im pretty sure the silver one has a longer pole for the actuation distance

#

if there is any difference in sound chances are it's just because they are 2 different keyboards

rigid valve
#

^

queen sigil
#

not all keyboards sound the same

viscid shale
#

correct

queen sigil
#

keycaps, switches, plate material, even the case can drastically change the sound of a switch

viscid shale
#

but none of this answers my question though

rigid valve
#

Would you mind restating the question

#

Just got here sorry

viscid shale
#

its fine

queen sigil
#

any reason you are going for optical switches in particular

wanton burrow
#

but tbh most switches that's not from zealpc or is not drop holy panda, it's not overpriced

viscid shale
# rigid valve Would you mind restating the question

basically im wanting the gk61 in white with gateron silvers for about 90 but the rk61 is hot swappable as well and i could get it in white with reds for 55.24 and replace the switches by buying silvers later, my problem is price and also im not sure whether or not to go with the rk61 or gk61

wanton burrow
#

optical switches doesn't work with mechanical pcb

#

unless u buy the gk

#

oh there

rigid valve
queen sigil
wanton burrow
queen sigil
#

at least i think it does

rigid valve
#

Also if you can find one get an sk61

queen sigil
#

optical silvers is weird

viscid shale
queen sigil
#

its same travel but shorter actuation distance

rigid valve
wanton burrow
#

cheap šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

uh first off no it wouldnt lol

not mine tho kek

unless you hardly press down the keys then its not gonna matter

they'll make u tilt more often tho lol

viscid shale
rigid valve
#

What’s
The feel

queen sigil
#

yes but like what about the feel

#

like the smoothness, the actuation, the travel,

#

etc

viscid shale
#

i just like how they feel compared to other switches

wanton burrow
#

"other"

#

hmmmm

viscid shale
#

bro😐

queen sigil
#

so do you just want silvers because they are silver

rigid valve
#

My dude if you want to get silvers go for it
Get a gk
But imho, you’re making a very bad choice

viscid shale
queen sigil
#

not get optical switches

#

not get silvers

viscid shale
#

but thats what i want

rigid valve
#

Get different switches
But I can’t recommend them unless I know what you like abt silvers

queen sigil
#

"faster" switches is basically a big gimmick

rigid valve
wanton burrow
#

optical switches has the least upgradability

rigid valve
#

I’m saying you shouldn’t
But if you want to then go for it

wanton burrow
#

u can't put mechanical switches to it

viscid shale
rigid valve
#

Actually not just me we all are lmao

queen sigil
#

depends what you call affordable

viscid shale
#

lets just say it takes me like 3 months to save up like 40-50 dollars

rigid valve
#

Ok

wanton burrow
rigid valve
#

Yeah you might like rose reds since they’re so light

viscid shale
#

would they work with the gk61

wanton burrow
#

no

viscid shale
#

then what keyboard do i get

rigid valve
#

I think you’d need sk61 or something

#

Not sure

queen sigil
#

just get a keychron c1

viscid shale
rigid valve
#

It’s a TKL by keychron

queen sigil
#

then google it

wanton burrow
#

rk61 isn't hotswappable and gk is optical. swapping optical switches is not worth it

rigid valve
#

If you want small form factor look into Royal Kludge
I’ve heard some good things about their boards

viscid shale
rigid valve
#

Build quality
Upgradability
Price

wanton burrow
#

coz its cheap and is hotswappable

rigid valve
#

^

#

Hotswap too

#

Forgot abt that

queen sigil
#

ur getting mechanical switches

#

not optical

wanton burrow
#

kek

viscid shale
wanton burrow
#

not yet

rigid valve
#

Not for cheap

viscid shale
#

oh

rigid valve
#

For cheap 60% look at Royal Kludge or Epomaker

#

Their boards I’ve heard are nice

queen sigil
#

and I mean i've kinda put the reasoning for you wanting silver switches between

#

A- you like the sound

viscid shale
#

so you guys are saying i should get rose red switches and a keychron c1?

queen sigil
#

B- you like silver

#

i mean you don't need to upgrade the switches

rigid valve
viscid shale
queen sigil
#

yes but why

rigid valve
#

So it is because they’re silver color then

viscid shale
#

no

queen sigil
#

they are basically the same exact switch as the silver ones you wanted so badly

viscid shale
queen sigil
#

lol idk

wanton burrow
#

yes

queen sigil
#

they cheap idk how cheap silvers are

rigid valve
#

You can’t buy silvers individually I don’t think
So technically yes

queen sigil
#

gateron optical silvers are 54$ for 110

#

so yes alot cheaper

viscid shale
#

could someone send me a link to a site i can buy them off of

rigid valve
#

Yeah way cheaper

queen sigil
rigid valve
#

They’re cheap as hell on Amazon

queen sigil
#

keep in mind ordering from them got like 20$ shipping

oh

#

Don’t remember about Epo

#

Anyways I’m about 45 minutes overdue on sleep

#

wanton burrow
#

lol

viscid shale
#

the rose reds im finding are 13.99 for 45 pieces

wanton burrow
#

yes

viscid shale
#

so do i have to buy it twice?

wanton burrow
#

yes

viscid shale
#

thats only 90 pieces though

wanton burrow
#

and?

#

tkl only has 87

#

you'll still have 3 extras

queen sigil
#

I mean you dont need to

#

45 is more than enough for the switches you are gonna be using the most

viscid shale
#

ok i'll look at keyboards on royal kludge and epomaker and see if i can find any cheap enough

#

any suggestions?

#

ok i have 3 keyboard options

#

the keychron c1, the ROYAL KLUDGE Sink87G 87 Keys, or the epomaker sk87

#

do any of these work with rose reds and if so which should i get

wanton burrow
#

if it says "hotswappable" and doesn't come with outemu switches, it'll work

viscid shale
#

ok i just realized i dont think the royal kludge one says hot swappable

#

let me check the other two

#

ok the epomaker one says hotswappable only with gateron switches

#

and the keychron has a "keychron mechanical hot swappable" and "gateron hot swappable" option

#

so should i go with the epomaker or keychron

viscid shale
viscid shale
#

ok so i should go with the keychron then?

wanton burrow
#

yea sure

viscid shale
#

ok thank you

#

oh i cant get it, its unavailable

#

so will rose reds work in any mechanical hotswap keyboard?

wanton burrow
#

yes

viscid shale
#

are there any other keyboard you can recommend becaues i think the keychron c1 is gonna be out of stock for a while

timber ridge
#

only c1 alternative imo is the sk87

viscid shale
#

that also seems to be out of stock

#

so i guess ill have to wait for the keychron to come back

timber ridge
#

are you in the US by any chance?

sly warren
# wanton burrow yes

That's actually not true. That Keychron Hotswappable option is for Keychron's Optical switches. And Otemu Hotswap sockets are only for Otemu Switches.

not if u circumcise the longer copper pin

If you want speakers be prepared to buy an Amplifier and good non-amplified speakers to plug into the amp.

Don't pay attention to the garbo Sony's on top, they gone now

sly warren

If I ever get an Amplifier and speaker setup for my eventual living room. It will be all Klipsch speakers.

gloomy berry
#

Another good one to consider is Definitive Audio, I have their center speaker and it's great. Equal to or slightly better than Klipsch

#

But Klipsch has spun copper cones so they win by default.

Yeah those cones look gorgeous.

Dunno if this counts as a peripheral, but anyone know any good wifi cards? I cant do ethernet, and the one that came in my PC i dont think is doing to well of a job (getting .07 mb/s upload speed while i get 25mb/s on any other device). Gigabyte b460m motherboard, current wifi card is in the m.2 slot

gloomy berry
#

You have external antennas?

#

Like, wires running to the M.2 card?

near coral
#

external antennas yes

gloomy berry
#

Try repositioning them, sounds like an interference issue to me

near coral
#

trying that now

#

should i shutdown PC while doing so?

gloomy berry
#

Try them horizontal instead of vertical and spread them apart

#

So they like a T

#

No need to shut down PC

near coral
#

horizontal okay

gloomy berry
#

Do it with it on so you can see signal strength

near coral
#

so i have them like a T and that seemed to make it exponentially worse

#

im gonna try pointing them towards the router

gloomy berry
#

Ya

#

Play round with them while you have signal strength open

near coral
gloomy berry
#

Mmm, no

#

What you need to do is right click the WiFi icon and choose Open Network and Conection settings

#

Then click Change Adapter options

#

Then right click your WiFi and choose Status

#

It will have a live signal quality you can watch while you move things around

near coral
#

okay i see that

gloomy berry
#

Also, if there's anything between you and the router, that will affect it as well

near coral
#

what im mainly concerned with though is upload speed, as I stream on twitch and recently i havent been able to stream at about 3000 bitrate

#

yeah theres a few walls and a closet in the way

#

but i cant do anything about it

gloomy berry
#

Get the signal strength the best then try again

okay so after fiddling with the antennae it has increased everything dramatically
