#

I want to get a stand-alone

#

But this modmic has a soft spot for me

swift lantern
#

do you not have a mic port?

rigid valve
#

I do

#

But someone said the vmoda mic is weird

#

And doesn’t function like others

swift lantern
#

oh right, a v-moda

rigid valve
#

:p

swift lantern
#

because it utilizes the headphones themselves

rigid valve
#

Something like that

gloomy berry
#

Ordered a power supply for my Zen. I'll see if it really makes a difference or not on Saturday.

swift lantern
#

if it does be sure to let me know

#

wait, the zen dac?

gloomy berry
#

Yes

#

not the CAN

#

I'll listen to a full song before and a full song immediately after

#

FLAC

#

see if it sounds any different

swift lantern
#

the only difference should be volume so..

gloomy berry
#

Should be

#

Some people have reported more depth and a better soundstage

#

Personally I think that's BS but power supplies are cheap

@wanton burrow any cheap keycaps recommendations? Probably just BOW set or something

steep pelican
wanton burrow
#

say it's mainly aesthetic but the keycap itself is nice value

steep pelican
#

Yeah

wanton burrow
#

yongqiu/gliging has nice molding and dyesub quality

#

tho most of them are uh....

#

clones

steep pelican

solar nebula
steep pelican

Im pretty sure

#

Most keychrons have hotswap

wanton burrow
#

yes but they kinda now have proprietary switches now

#

not sure about quality but either way u could change the switches anyways

#

Hey so I'm looking for a membrane 65% or tkl keyboard, does anyone know of any good ones? I've been asked if it would be backlight that would be great too

#

Preferably 60ish euro

#

Don't wanna get like a 300$ keyb

#

Don't think they mind

#

So please

#

Could probs do up to 80 or 90€ tho if needed

#

But seems like a waste for membrane idk

#

Wait isn't that mechanical tho?

#

Yeah they don't like mechanical

#

Hmm okay

wanton burrow
#

oring for switches is uh

last plinth
#

not sure

wanton burrow
#

bad

#

it help the mushyness yes

last plinth
#

i had a membrane and it felt just like this

#

oring quiet

wanton burrow
#

it makes it more mushy kekw

ivory fable
#

Lubing switches sounds expensive and painful

wanton burrow
#

waht

#

u can jsut baglube the springs

#

and lube only the stem

steep pelican
#

And housing

wanton burrow
#

works as much as lubing bottom mousing tbh

sharp kindle
steep pelican
ivory fable
#

Well considering you need to buy new switches no? I've never heard of a keyb that came with silent reds or something

wanton burrow
wanton burrow
#

u cna still do it tho

ivory fable
sharp kindle
dreamy goblet
#

any really good out of the box keyboards? and headphones

wanton burrow
#

it's jsut lubing only stem is good for laziness

steep pelican
ivory fable
wanton burrow
#

but fr tho

ivory fable
sharp kindle

steep pelican
ivory fable
#

Wait so what are gateron optical switches like?

wanton burrow
#

oh

#

gluck fitting 3rd party stabs on alu plate kekw

last plinth
#

mechanical but

#

they use lasers

#

to see if press

wanton burrow
#

the browns and clickies iirc has one but that's for tactility

steep pelican
# wanton burrow oh

Trying to decide between taking the stock ones and just washing and lubing or or getting durock ones cause I’m probably going to get PC plate if in stock when I can actually buy keeb

ivory fable
steep pelican
#

Optical only go in certain board

last plinth
#

topres are a good option

#

but money

wanton burrow
#

topre rubber dome

#

capacitive switch

#

like touchscreeeeeeen

wanton burrow

but topre thockers

@dire tartan do you know if mx have a switch similar to gaterons silent reds?

steep pelican
wanton burrow
#

hmmmmmm

ivory fable
wanton burrow
#

oh

#

tester not that good

ivory fable
#

Thanks

wanton burrow
#

you'd want to put the switches on a boardanyways

#

to get a way more accurate testing

ivory fable
#

Well

#

Just want a rough experience

wanton burrow
#

acrylic casing hardly replicates the sound of a board

wanton burrow
#

kbd67 ltie r2 extras

#

candykeys and kbdfans should be able to have the extras

#

and other ones too

steep pelican
wanton burrow
#

hmmmm

#

lubing is highly necessary unless ur a ktt chad

#

kailh wing clasp style hard to open

ivory fable
#

Do mx/gateron reds feel the same as the silent reds btw?

wanton burrow
#

prob no

steep pelican
wanton burrow
#

iirc silent switches have some soft thing to it to not produce sound

sharp kindle
ivory fable
#

Well cherry then

Just less so I believe

according to a recent study of the compositoin of them

wanton burrow
#

tkc being tkc

sharp kindle
#

the main selling point is the freaking uhmwpe

wanton burrow
#

weird ass deskmat

#

but good looking

sharp kindle
#

at least oas have uhmwpe

wanton burrow
#

but also weird ass price compared to their qc capabilities

sharp kindle
#

and even when tangies did have uhmwpe, they had less than 10 percent

#

tangies are just orange jwks with new housings lmao

#

if you want smooth get uhwpe stems

wanton burrow
#

blue meth

#

so ig jush doesn;t like hg springs coz it's 80g

ivory fable

I said looks like she'd have to go mechanical if she wants 65 or tkl and her response was no no no no no no no lol

wanton burrow
#

maybe that's why he calls it bad

sharp kindle
wanton burrow
#

lmao

#

ok i'm out

sharp kindle

cya

wanton burrow
#

picking switch was being picky anyways kek

#

but oh

#

i think imma only buy 70pcs for 60%

ivory fable

Idk i sent her a silent red vid to listen to

wanton burrow

sigh I'm in Decision Paralysis mode right now. HE400SE or HD560S?

swift lantern
#

Why either

sly warren
#

I want new headphones that are better than my current headphones (I'm using Blackshark V2 because they have a Mic, and I have a new Mic setup coming in next week)

#

I guess nobody has suggestions

thick tartan
#

apple earbuds

swift lantern
#

did you ever personally try the CAL yourself

sly warren
#

I haven't yet.

#

But I don't know if I want to get something else in the Chi-Fi range.

#

I do need to add them to the collection at some point

#

But, I'd rather start getting into Mid-Fi

#

And HD560S or HE400SE is where I think I should start.

swift lantern
#

well you know where I stand on sennheiser

tight pulsar
#

why not sundaras

sly warren
#

I dunno, I think they are a bit pricey for how much I make right now.

swift lantern
#

I see a used pair for about 250 on ebay

#

👀

#

the he400se measures very well from what I can tell, Andrew from the Headphone Show really likes them, idk if you value his input

sly warren
#

Never really seen "the headphone show"

#

If I had the money I'd probably just say F it and get a pair of ATH-R70x

swift lantern
#

wait, are those dynamic?

sly warren
#

Yes, R70X are Dynamic Drivers.

#

Crinacle says they redefine the price bracket

swift lantern
sly warren
#

They apparently have excellent imaging and a mostly neutral/flat tuning.

dreamy goblet
#

which model is the best in keychons lineup?

swift lantern
#

wow that is fairly neutral

#

why would you want them lol

dreamy goblet
#

i was looking at the k12 but its so laggy and the price doesnt update lol

sly warren
#

I mean, I want neutral so that I don't have to deal with stuff like Bass Bloat making explosions cover up footsteps.

tight pulsar
#

hm open box sundaras for 290 shipped

swift lantern
#

neutral is boring for music though

sly warren
#

Can be boring for Music.

swift lantern
#

how I get in on that reviewing business smdh

#

I want to try those pmv planar iems

sly warren
#

And then part of me is like "Do I just save enough for Ananadas and hit endgame right away?"

#

Oh yeah... I forgot you can get Open Box Sundaras...

#

How much do you need to drive Sundaras?

swift lantern
#

23 ohms or something like that but only 99db/mw iirc

#

so they aren't the hardest to drive but likely benefit from some amplification

sly warren
#

Hmm... I wonder if a Meizu Dongle would do the trick

timber ridge
#

id be careful with used sundaras bc build quality is questionable

sly warren
#

I'd be getting Open Box direct from HiFiMan

swift lantern
#

94db/mw, my bad

#

meizu gets just shy of 90mw at 32 ohm, it might work for sundara

sly warren
#

Yeah, I might just save up for Sundaras then.

swift lantern
#

are you trying not to use any amps or something

sly warren
#

And then get a Zen DAC

#

No

swift lantern
#

yeah there ya go

sly warren
#

I'm just broke.

#

If I didn't want to use any Amps I'd just buy Sivga Phoenix.

swift lantern
#

some day those adapters will come in the mail

sly warren
#

Note to anyone wondering: Don't put KSC75 Drivers on a PortaPro headband. You will just end up with PortaPro sound...

rigid valve
#

Oh

sly warren
#

Yeah, it was a sad revelation.

#

I was hoping for KSC75 Sound + Porta Pro awesome Headband

rigid valve
#

but if you put portpro drivers on a ksc75 headband then u should get ebic sound

sly warren
#

Sadly they just sound like PortaPros still

#

If you do the reverse.

#

PPro Driver + KSC75 Earhooks = PortaPro Sound on KSC75 Earhooks...

rigid valve
#

poggers

swift lantern
#

so the difference is just how much it's hugging your ears?

sly warren
#

I don't think so.

#

I think it's the actual Headband doing something to sound reflection with the KSC75 drivers.

#

There's a fair bit of back plastic that likely is affecting the acoustics of the KSC75 drivers when on the PPro Headband.

west hornet
#

Everything can change the acoustics, it is all a factor

sly warren
#

Welp, I just got a $50 check for graduation, so I have $50 towards a Zen DAC

rigid valve
#

pog

sly warren
#

I think i'll get that first to replace my Meizu Dongle for desktop use.

#

I think I've changed my mind. That money will go towards HE400SE's.

swift lantern
#

I hope they aren't too sharp

#

a dip in the 1-5k region should on paper mean a less harsh sound but in my experience with planars means the vocals will destroy you

timber ridge
#

are the se jus differently tuned 400i

solar nebula
#

are gateron browns good

sly warren
rigid valve
#

Scratchy

#

Not very tactile

#

Gateron browns specifically are better than cherries but still scratchyyyyyy

#

Hyperglides are actually decent but way more expensive

sharp kindle
#

full nylon cherry browns are lit

#

esp after being lubed

tight pulsar
#

they need tlc

#

okay please tell me this guy is going to sell me his dyesubs at a reasonable price

latent hull
#

got 24 switches lubed tonight and will the get rest done tomorrow so that is nice

tight pulsar
#

oo okay so he can do 200 shipped

but i can also sell my crp tulip for 180-200 so basically it's just trading

I only know a really good one but it's like around $200

they can get p expensive p quick

I don't see a benefit for an expensive mic setup unless you do like professional work

just get a cheap one that looks cool

yea same too

#

im tryna spend like 250 max on my setup

queen sigil

30$ mic, 10$ arm

Worker bee is nice for under 100usd if you like bees

timber ridge

but youre paying for aesthetics

all the good mics look weird

atleast the budget ones

west hornet

xD

timber ridge
#

im not a fan of the microphone look too otherwise id pick up a q2u or se v7

west hornet

Eye strange looking mic is an eye catcher for streams use to lure audience

I actually really like the look of the se v7

timber ridge
#

isnt the worker bee packaged in p interesting stuff too

#

like it looks like a toy box

west hornet
#

Ye they seem to have nice packaging

timber ridge
#

i really like how the re20 looks

#

and q9u

#

but mics that look like that are usually like 200+

west hornet

Omg i would love a re20, or maybe a rode nt1 or icon pro

xD

calm cobalt

I don't any

#

I haven't gotten into Mics yet

Rabbit holes are nice

gotta love rabbit holes amrite

west hornet

In the budget I absolutely love the sound of the icon pro but is a lot of money $$$

queen sigil

ghosty why pay lots of money on mics if its not for like professional use

like I can understand why people want good sounding headphones but why expensive mics

That looks cursed but very cool tho

swift lantern
#

Why are dslrs still so expensive

timber ridge
#

@swift lantern you remember the dif between b2 and b2 dusk

#

my only two uprade options rn are emu teaks or b2/b2 dusk

swift lantern
#

A friend of mine says treble sensitive people shouldn't do teaks ;(

#

B2 dusk is tuned with help from crinacle is the only difference afaik

#

I assume you already know that the law of diminishing returns usually hits things pretty hard, and that the b2 dusk might not blow you away, should you get them

timber ridge
#

yea, i kinda peaked with iems

#

i might jus wait for airpods 3 pro or whatever apple names them lol

swift lantern
#

how about you don't give apple any money

timber ridge
swift lantern
#

for wireless iems?

#

like, at least the sony ones

#

anything but apple man

timber ridge
#

the sony ones are huge

#

like massive

swift lantern
#

the headphones?

timber ridge
#

iems

swift lantern
#

they literally aren't though

#

have you seen people wear them they are smol

timber ridge
#

literally are compared to the competitor

#

are we thinking of the same thing?

swift lantern
#

bro that's like 10% bigger than the apple ones

#

there's also technically wireless options from a gajillion brands

#

don't give apple your money BrunoGun

timber ridge
#

its pretty big and the case is even bigger

swift lantern
#

ok and, find a different one then

timber ridge
#

if teaks were slightly cheaper and were on a better website

#

id prob pick it up

swift lantern
#

shanling, bgvp, moondrop, bose for god's sake

timber ridge
#

i forgot about shanling

swift lantern
#

or the moondrop ones?

#

which even have gesture controls, kinda pog

timber ridge
#

but you gotta accept that apple makes good wireless earbuds

#

anc is good too

swift lantern
#

I can say they have good features and that's IT

#

hate the design

#

hate everything about them, hate their company

#

🔥

timber ridge
#

airpods pros are super comfy

#

idk how they get anc when its barely in ear

#

kinda insane

swift lantern
#

cuz it's software dude

timber ridge
#

still, theyre like the best for in ear anc

#

kuzu accept the fact that apple makes decent things

#

m1 chip is legit stomping

crp is doing rgb modifiers Shibaheart

#

i asked them yesterday and they said they will consider it very nice

cobalt jacinth
#

I feel completely lost with the RGB stuff.

I am using a MSi Gaming Pro Carbon AM4 (socket) Motherboard.

The only header I can find on it is a 4 pin LED. Is this what I would connect RGB to... Just RGB or ARGB?

Is there a specific wire i need to connect things?

I am using the NZXT H510 Elite case. It comes with a hub controller but it is not detecting the fans or anothering there of. Currently I bypassed the Fans power straight the motherboard. I am trying to figure out how to get the RGB to work

Please, can someone help me before my Returns expire...

gloomy berry
#

RGB is 4 pin 12 volt

#

aRGB is 3 pin 5 volt

#

They aren't compatible

#

SO if you have aRGB devices, they won't work

cobalt jacinth
#

Consider me a Noob and you just spoke a foreign langage

#

dang

rigid valve
#

basically

sly warren
#

aRGB is different from RGB. ARGB is individually Addressable.

gloomy berry
#

Which gaming pro carbon?

#

B550?

cobalt jacinth
#

Yes

#

Wait

#

350

gloomy berry
#

B350

#

oh

#

yeah, that won't have aRGB

sly warren
#

B350 will likely be RGB only. Which is 4 Pins

cobalt jacinth
#

It has a LED header on

gloomy berry
#

Ya, RGB only

#

I checked

#

:/

sly warren
#

The Hub Controller is only going to be NZXT RGB Stuff

#

Because yay Proprietary Standards!

#

Corsair and NZXT (And Phanteks to an extent) use proprietary RGB Standards

cobalt jacinth
#

so then... I also bought on of those Verticale mount DIY things for the Video Card...it says its works with Mystic System, but I can not connect that because it only has 3 pin connectors

sly warren
#

Yes.

gloomy berry
#

aRGB

sly warren
#

Being compatible with an RGB Software does not mean it's compatible to your motherboard

cobalt jacinth
#

Rada rada rada rada rada

#

so everything I got to work with the motherboard is a No go?

gloomy berry
#

Not necessarily, the fans in the case should be RGB

#

It comes with a controller that connects to the MB via USB

#

and is powered by SATA power

cobalt jacinth
#

Yes

#

the CAM doesn't detect

sly warren
#

Read that guide. That should help.

gloomy berry
#

There's a USB cable that goes from the controller to a USB header on the MB

sly warren
#

Also, is the Controller plugged into USB

gloomy berry
#

Is that plugged in?

cobalt jacinth
#

Connected to JUSB1

sly warren
#

It should be a.... 9 pin header that is USB 2.0

cobalt jacinth
#

It will detect my CPU and Computer Specs

#

The fans do not detect or work unless i plug then into the MB fan headers

sly warren
#

That's abnormal.

#

I'd check cables and stuff

cobalt jacinth
#

Ive been looking at these cables for dddaaaayyyyzzzzz...

gloomy berry
#

Is the SATA power cable plugged in?

cobalt jacinth
#

think i am cable drunk

#

Yep

sly warren
#

You didn't trim it

#

Also I don't think Keychron sells the Hotswap boards on Amazon

#

Trim links at the ?

thick tartan
#

they do i just imagine the k2 isnt hot swap?

sly warren
#

They sell Hotswap and Non Hotswap boards.

#

The K2 has a Hotswap version

cobalt jacinth
#

Hotswap? (still a noob)

rigid valve
#

so basically

#

hotswap is where you can take out the key-switch without desoldering it

#

its very nice if you dont have/dont like/dont want to solder and desolder

cobalt jacinth
#

Im a welder...by trade... so... Soldering is out. To small

rigid valve
#

ok

cobalt jacinth
#

So... what I am getting the idea of here... is, if I am to keep my current set up, i'll need a Hotswap device to plugg all the stuff into

rigid valve
#

uh your original question was about rgb
which im not sure about

cobalt jacinth
#

The RGB set up i ment, sorry

gloomy berry
#

Mmmm

#

The RGB for case fans should work

#

But you'll control them through the NZXT CAM software

#

I'd install it again if they don't show in there and you have SATA power and USB connected

cobalt jacinth
#

So... one last Troubleshoot of Wires and Reinstall of program before returning and getting other RGB (Not ARGB) fans

gloomy berry
#

LED connectors from fans to hub

#

Power goes into the 1-3 splitter

#

for the fans

#

SATA Power and USB on JUSB1 should fine

#

Uninstall and reinstall NZXT cam

cobalt jacinth
#

thank you, ill try that!

razer's other stuff was always a little iffy but i gotta say their mice are

timber ridge

i dont think ill upgrade til a proper rvmu is out

glass bear

i think ill probably go for the delux

#

dont think my dad will buy me such an expensive mouse

timber ridge
#

yea its honestly like the best budget mouse rn

livid sorrel
#

lol

#

like a 75%?

rigid valve

Aren't they just a Dynamic Driver?

swift lantern

they are

#

I was kinda hoping the dampening material would be easy to access and I could just like, slide it out see how it sounds slide it back in if it's terrible

#

but the dampening material is like, IN THERE, so I'm not gonna mess with that

#

maybe some day

Can you guy show me which USB WiFi Adapter is good for gaming

swift lantern

none

sly warren
swift lantern
#

or run very long cable

#

seriously 150ft cable is like $15 same cost as a lot of those dongles but guaranteed better lol

rigid valve
#

uh

#

so what does it mean if my home has a cat5 outlet in my room

#

ill send pciture

gloomy berry
#

Cat 5 outlet means 100 mbps ethernet

#

If it's cat 5e it's gigabit

rigid valve
#

yes but how to install

#

am i supposed to run a cable thru the wall?

swift lantern
#

outlet?

gloomy berry
#

You have an outlet on the wall like a jack yeah?

swift lantern
#

means you can just plug a cable in there

rigid valve
gloomy berry
#

Where does that go?

#

And is there anything plugged in on the other side?

swift lantern
#

although then it wouldn't be through a router or whatever

rigid valve
gloomy berry
#

Right

#

Where's the central location for all of those?

rigid valve
#

like on the other side of that wall is my bathroom

gloomy berry
#

Usually a garage or closet

rigid valve
gloomy berry
#

IDK

rigid valve
#

idk my house

gloomy berry
#

Open doors and look for cables

rigid valve
#

lmao

rigid valve
#

what should the hub look like sorta

gloomy berry
#

Lilke that but with maybe 4-6 outlets in one plate

rigid valve
#

thanks you

#

time to explore

gloomy berry
#

That being said

rigid valve
#

?

gloomy berry
#

Those 4-6 outlets need to be plugged into a switch or router

#

It's just an in-wall ethernet cable

rigid valve
#

ok

#

hm

#

could i theoretically use a mesh wifi satilite which has ethernet port as the router for the in-wall ethernet

gloomy berry
#

No

#

Those are just extenders

rigid valve
#

ok

gloomy berry
#

You'd think all the outlets for those ethernet jacks would be near a cable port too as a central location for the internet but IDK

#

some people run stuff weird

#

There might not even be cable attached to that jack TBH

rigid valve
#

what

#

does that mean id have to install it

#

like

#

in the wall

gloomy berry
#

Take the screws out and see if there's ethernet cable attached to it

#

If no cable, can't use it anyway

rigid valve
#

ok

glass bear
#

also if you have it in your house its probably setup

rigid valve
#

ok

#

now i have to find the hub

#

and its all good

They sound like tin cans strapped to your head

I can't think of other sub $150 headphones at the moment

sly warren

They weren't designed for music enjoyment. They were designed as Mixing Headphones

I guess you could try the fidelio x2hr or like the shp9600 or something
