peripherals-and-displays

[sly warren]

Both of those are garbage too.

[swift lantern]

have you used them

[sly warren]

9600 Treble Grain

X2HR also Treble Grain

[left trellis]

damn...

[sly warren]

K361s are quite balanced and offer great sound at just at 100 bucks

[swift lantern]

the best option is still just to try them if you can

is treble grain the same thing the sennheiser had going on

[sly warren]

At 120 USD you could also look at the HiFiMan HE-X4 on Drop.

[left trellis]

see the main problem is i don’t have much knowledge on headphones i just have the razr kraken and wanna get rid of them

[sly warren]

I'll have a pair coming in this upcoming week

[queen sigil]

skiptrace knows best

[sly warren]

If you want something Cheap to start learning on.

Koss UR40, Koss KSC75, and Koss PortaPro are all good options.

[queen sigil]

he finally said it

[steep pelican]

https://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDR7506-Professional-Diaphragm-Headphone/dp/B000AJIF4E hmm these are what i have lol

[queen sigil]

the ur40 recommendation

[sly warren]

Have YOU even used them?

Because I legitimately own a pair of UR40s.

[queen sigil]

yes and what you say is never wrong i know

[sly warren]

Granted my Fiancee is the one using them right now.

But she is a relative newbie to audio stuff also

She likes the sound better than her Razer Kraken also.

[swift lantern]

ur40 do be pretty agreeable

that's how I'd put it, agreeable

not spectacular at anything, but nothing really offensive either, good for $30 that's for sure

[left trellis]

so ur40’s better than kraken

[swift lantern]

oh for sure

[left trellis]

do you mind sending the link for the hifiman those seem pretty damn good

[sly warren]

It's on Drop.com

[left trellis]

just saw it haha sorry man

[sly warren]

They are like hot off the press

I wouldn't buy them until more reviews come out.

Except I did buy them

[left trellis]

ok ok

[queen sigil]

skiptrace advice is the best advice

[sly warren]

So I will do a "Normie review"

[left trellis]

you made the right choice though and i thank you all for the help

any opinions on sennheisers or beyers?

[swift lantern]

sennheiser bad

[sly warren]

Also, please buy an Apple USB-C to 3.5mm adapter for your PC.

[swift lantern]

beyer idk

[left trellis]

everyone hypes up the damn sennheisers

[sly warren]

The only good Sennheisers are HD560S, HD600, and HD650

And the HD6XX

Beyer is bad because Treble Spikes

[left trellis]

got ya

[sly warren]

Treble is the high notes. Mostly Cymbals and Hi Hats

So cans with Treble Spikes and Treble Grain can be very fatiguing.

Additional options are the Creative Aurvana Live SE which is really fun if you like good Bass.

But for all of the options you should 100% buy an Apple USB-C to 3.5mm Dongle

[swift lantern]

horrid

[sly warren]

It's 9 USD, and will clean up your audio signal a lot.

[queen sigil]

isnt that ur garbage ears talkin again

[sly warren]

You just have a hatred for the 6XX

I think you are the only person who hates the 6XX

[swift lantern]

I like fh3 therefore confirming my ears aren't broken

[queen sigil]

see i was here when dino was here

and dino actually was smart i think

[swift lantern]

your ass just ain't sensitive enough smdh

anyway, I concur with the apple dongle recommendation

[sly warren]

I personally use a Meizu Dongle though. It has a little more oomph

But, it'll get replaced by a Zen DAC next month.

[sharp kindle]

did dino get banned or did he leave

i miss him

the weeb

the audiophile

the mouse nerd

he recommended the viper mini before it was cool

😔

[queen sigil]

left along time ago

[sharp kindle]

[glass bear]

i remember when koss stock

went stupid

[timber ridge]

he couldnt stand 2 ppl

[wanton burrow]

noice

[umbral sphinx]

i have

the redragon k552 and viper mini

[rigid valve]

if ur looking for upgrade get a new keeb

but that was also kinda random

so

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[latent hull]

Looking for headphones under 100 and before you reccomend the ur40 I have had them and they feel like on ears which I do not like that well.

[rigid valve]

Porta Pro

[latent hull]

One they are on ears which I just said I dont like

[rigid valve]

you don't want any on ears?

that pretty much limits you to uh

triple drivers?

[gloomy berry]

Why triples? My AKG are singles and over ear

[rigid valve]

oh moondrop starlit

thats basically it

i think

at the price

[rigid valve]

no i mean the iems

by 1more

[gloomy berry]

They said headphones lol, over ear instead of on ear

[rigid valve]

oh i thought he meant just in ear

smol brain

[sly warren]

AKG K361 is basically your only option

[rigid valve]

yeah

[latent hull]

Ok thanks

[swift lantern]

So if hifiman has a "stealth magnet".. they should make a closed back

do it

[glass bear]

viper mini is goooood

@timber ridge did that delux arrive yet?

and if so was it good or nah

[swift lantern]

fyi fiio btr5 $110 rn instead of usual closer to $150

[thick tartan]

ive been lowkey interested... whats the market for wireless earbuds like whose the gotos if anyone knows i have airpods but look for something with quality lol idrc for looks

[livid sorrel]

like for a pc?

something wireless?

[thick tartan]

yes for pc

[livid sorrel]

u want like wireless earbuds?

[steep pelican]

https://ilumkb.com/collections/switches/products/switch-sample-packs?variant=39393966817362 would it be worth it picking up 2-3 of these just to test switches

[livid sorrel]

i recommend u get a headset instead

might aswell

would that be ok with you? i can help @thick tartan

[livid sorrel]

i don’t see why not

lol

[steep pelican]

Gonna kill my wallet but yeet I have 450 dollars of computer work I can do so why not

[livid sorrel]

lol

[steep pelican]

Trying to save up for keeb

[livid sorrel]

save up? why not get one now

[steep pelican]

Cause switches are expensive

[rigid valve]

Ehhh

[livid sorrel]

just get a key aboard keyboard

then swap out switches

[rigid valve]

good switches are expensive

[livid sorrel]

xD

[rigid valve]

But a 65% with alpacas is only like 40$

[steep pelican]

What do you think of switch tester kit

[livid sorrel]

off of wish

lol

[rigid valve]

They’re fine
Just not the one you linked lmao

[steep pelican]

Really

[rigid valve]

You can get AlpacaV2s bro

[livid sorrel]

kb’s can be expensive

[rigid valve]

They’re in stock

[livid sorrel]

oh shoot

might cop now

even tho i have a TKL

i can’t leave my arrow keys behind

[steep pelican]

Where?

[rigid valve]

I’m eating lunch right now will get back to u in like hour or two

[rigid valve]

Google

[steep pelican]

Tried could look again

Idk I like that test kit since others have like all the gateron switches, and all the cherry switches and I don’t really care about those

Mostly want to try tangerines, banana splits, and alpacas

[rigid valve]

u aint getting tangerines

just

i dont wanna be harsh

but with the production issues

u aint getting tangerines

not unless you search ebay for used stuff

[steep pelican]

Probably

Hmm this is probably overpriced but idk https://www.ebay.com/itm/383672375439

[rigid valve]

so heres the thing

the ilumkb place you mentioned before is actually legit i checked
but theyre located in asia

so a month shipping prob

theres also a place in the UK called mechbox

[queen sigil]

lol dont buy that

[rigid valve]

lol

[queen sigil]

and also probs dont get TKC stuff

[rigid valve]

yeah

theyre having some issues rn

[queen sigil]

and bannana splits arent that good

durock poms, and box creams are probs better choices

or nk creams if you wanna break them in

[rigid valve]

banana splits are fine ig

but personally id grab Lavs or Alpacas

yea creams if ur willing to break them in and then use them for frankies later on

[queen sigil]

i mean theyre fine

but if u want something liek that you should just break in NK creams

much better end result

[tight pulsar]

pretty sure they ship decently fast

[sharp kindle]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/842163215416426537/843586146344894484/ohno.png

[rigid valve]

lmao

[livid sorrel]

xD

[steep pelican]

Well then I’m going to look at alpacas and creams

[thick tartan]

hyper glides

[daring zenith]

Yes

[timber ridge]

i dont think you can beat it for the price

and creams overrated imo

[queen sigil]

I mean its like every switch, if you break it in enough it can be really good

[timber ridge]

not really

switches get better after break in but creams are garbo b4 it

[queen sigil]

yeah

[steep pelican]

@queen sigil should i buy films for nk creams?

[tight pulsar]

no

[steep pelican]

should i lube them or just keep them stock

[rigid valve]

lube always helps

especially with the scratch fest that is new nk creasm

[queen sigil]

i mean you should break them in before lubing imo @steep pelican

gets you the most value

[steep pelican]

Ok 👍

Just wanted to know whether I should buy lube or not since I don’t want to buy them separately

@rigid valve hmm

[rigid valve]

yes

s c r a t c h

i call them cotton candies

[steep pelican]

I could buy switches rn but I don’t have a hot swap board yet

[queen sigil]

then buy one

[steep pelican]

I did, it’s not coming for a minute

[queen sigil]

what did you get

[steep pelican]

Gmmk pro

[rigid valve]

ooh

nice

[queen sigil]

oh

[rigid valve]

its a solid board

especially given the relatively slim price tag

[sharp kindle]

keep them stock for now

use them

break them in

and then lube

[calm cobalt]

Yo

Any big soft mouse pad u recommend

[rigid valve]

Uh

How soft

[daring zenith]

Pillow

[calm cobalt]

Is this mouse good https://agilecables.com/collections/mousepads/products/equate-gaming-mouse-pad-black-galaxy

[calm cobalt]

Halp

Me

Pls

[timber ridge]

best switches for the pro are silent switches imo

[queen sigil]

hyperx basically make the best pudding keycaps iirc

skip the rgb get a good looking keyboard

[wanton burrow]

lubing nk creams without breaking them it won't help

imagine lubing a fresh sandpaper

won't make it smooth

[wanton burrow]

the ones from omnitype/sells on gb that's not from tkc or else refer to pinned messages

[sharp kindle]

theyre all oems from a chinese sweatshop

[queen sigil]

mhm

[sharp kindle]

hyperx pudings are no different than kprepublic ones

[timber ridge]

[wanton burrow]

kek

consider bakeneko65

board's open sourced

some did use a 3d printed case for it

same as the open-sourced bakeneko

nice

woah

u can prob fetch the files and infor for the board in kkatano's server

[swift lantern]

Foam of some sort is usually the go to

[wanton burrow]

either cheap ass eva/neoprene

sorbothane/silicon mix is nicer

u can both use and not use one

depends on how hollow the wood will sound

u can prob just 3d print the gasket parts

but best thing is to ask in kkatano's server imo

they know alot

[vagrant rapids]

Anyone have suggestions for a hotswappable keyboard under 100?

[neon quartz]

lynh#3539 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[vagrant rapids]

My bad

Thanks. I was looking at the evga z15 on sale for 65 but people don’t like evga keyboards so idk

Tkl is fine

[short orbit]

hey, so im looking for a good gaming mouse with alot of thumb buttons. i know theres not much selection but i was looking at the Trust GXT Sikanda. however was wondering if any other mice with similar properties existed. (like 8 thumb buttons)

just one that could game and do work

if anyone knows anything feel free to @ me, ill most likely forget i asked haha

[timber ridge]

not familiar with mmo mice

all ik is the naga i think

[sly warren]

That mouse doesn't look... Great. If you want a lot of side buttons for some reason, I'd get a G600, or the one Corsair makes, or a Razer Naga of some form. But typically those types of mice are quite heavy and can lead to RSI depending on how you move the mouse (Wrist aim or Arm Aim. If Wrist, please don't buy, if Arm then you are ok)

[west hornet]

Wtf my arias just went from china to the us to berlin

Uhhh am i ever gonna get these

[polar sundial]

can you guys send me the "best" or good keycaps.

this is the kb im getting, is it bad? i was on a budget https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CN9JSBY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_KGWRGTYVEHG05ECFQKHF?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

[daring zenith]

Keychron is neat

[daring zenith]

Best keycaps will cost in the hundreds of dollars, so... There's some decently cheap hkgaming keycaps on amazon though.

[polar sundial]

oh yeah, i forgot to add my budget

under $50

[polar sundial]

should i get it?

[daring zenith]

keychron board is good

[sly warren]

Keychron is pretty good. For a no-fuss board I'd buy one if I didnt have my Iqunix L80

[polar sundial]

alright thanks :)

should i use the key caps that come w the kb, or should i buy a new pack of keycaps

i want white keycaps, or just a light colour

[daring zenith]

I'd just use the ones that comes with it first

[sly warren]

Yeah, Keychron caps are pretty good overall

And it's a Black case, so light caps make less sense.

[wanton burrow]

drop artifact bloom or some gliging bow which is cheaper

https://www.amazon.com/Keycaps-Profile-Minimalist-Compatible-Keyboard/dp/B08T5YL3Q8/ref=sr_1_9?dchild=1&keywords=gliging+keycaps&qid=1621255201&sr=8-9

or this

[polar sundial]

that looks nice

[wanton burrow]

https://drop.com/all-communities/drops/artifact-keycaps

either has decent quality

that doesn't look and feel trash

[polar sundial]

i think ima just go with this

[polar sundial]

.

[wanton burrow]

ah

np

[polar sundial]

thanks

:)

but the shipping is uhh…

kinda long

[calm cobalt]

Huh

[rigid valve]

Mistel also solid caps

[sly warren]

That's AssDrop for you

[steep pelican]

There’s the same one for like 5 bucks more that ships in like a week

I believe

[tight pulsar]

are we looking at the same keycaps because it said shipping may 20th for me

[tight pulsar]

oh i was looking at the drop ones

still not too bad, just looks like normal china post shipping time

[short orbit]

thing is im working on a budget, ive been using a £5 mouse from amazon for the past 2 years. im looking for a good one around £40

[sly warren]

Then good luck getting an MMO mouse for that much that will be worth anything.

I'd skip out on a cheap mouse and get something that will last.

[short orbit]

ive used a £5 mouse from amazon for the past 2 years

[sly warren]

Measure your hand size and figure out your Grip Style and then go to https://www.rocketjumpninja.com and plug in the information to get a list of mice that will fit your hand well.

2 years is nothing for a mouse.

I'm surprised it hasn't broken

Also the sensor probably is crap

I'll bet it spins out hard.

[short orbit]

nah its great

do you know any mice thay maybe have 4 buttons? rather than something like 12 haha

[fluid fossil]

four meaning?

[short orbit]

like the ones on the side

[fluid fossil]

Like the left and right mouse clicker + 4 on the side.

[short orbit]

yeah yeah myb

[fluid fossil]

What would your price range be?

[short orbit]

around £40

[fluid fossil]

Any preferred brands? (Razer, Logitech, Microsoft)

[sly warren]

I really doubt it's "great" at 5 Pounds. Even the cheapest Logitech gaming mouse would be better.

[short orbit]

none, i do like razer, corsair and logitch tho

[short orbit]

look man one mans trash is another mans treasure, regardless of your opnion it is different to mine.

[sly warren]

It isn't an opinion. I could bet money that the sensor is garbage in that mouse and that I could make it spin out without any effort

[swift lantern]

Chief imma need you buzz off

[sly warren]

The Razer Naga Trinity or Hex is likely your best bet, but it's way out of your budget.

The Razer Viper Mini would be in budget, but I have no idea how big your hands are, so I can't solidly recommend it.

And the G203 only has 2 side buttons.

At this price range, you are kinda being a begging chooser by asking for more than 2 side buttons.

[short orbit]

thanks anyway dude

and im not "choosing", i didnt come here expecting to get a perfect one becuase i understand my budget is really low.i just asked the experts here for advice

but ty anyway 😄

[sly warren]

And the advice is "Expand your budget, Buy a mouse that doesn't fit your requirements, or get a very sub-par mouse"

[steep pelican]

Get like g502 tbh

[sly warren]

Way out of budget.

40 Pounds is his budget

[steep pelican]

For 40 pounds?

Isn’t that more than 40 dollars

[sly warren]

A G502 is like, 80 to 120 USD depending on the version

[short orbit]

the g502 hero is £48.61 atm

its on offer

[swift lantern]

It's $46 on amazon

[sly warren]

Unless you like sliding around a brick all day, I don't recommend the G502.

I used to own one.

Once I moved to a lighter mouse I couldn't use a heavier one.

[steep pelican]

Bro I got my g502 for 30 bucks lol, and the wired ones are like 45 not on sale

[short orbit]

i mean is there a way to check how much it weighs?

becuase if its lighter than the one i use atm then it can only be better

[sly warren]

It's like, 121 grams

It's VERY unlikely to weigh less.

[short orbit]

lemme see

[steep pelican]

It’s definitely a heavy mouse, but tbh it’s entirely usable

[sly warren]

The G502 is one of the heaviest gaming mice on the market

[steep pelican]

I like heavy mice for browsing and productivity stuff tbh, and I like lighter mice for gaming

[sly warren]

Yes, for productivity the G502 is great.

[steep pelican]

I used my g502 with 4/5 of the included weights lol

[sly warren]

Infinity Scroll, tons of buttons, etc.

[short orbit]

my current mouse is 152g!!

[sly warren]

There's no way.

[sly warren]

That might be the BOX the mouse came in

Id get a scale

[short orbit]

https://www.amazon.co.uk/TeckNet-Optical-Ergonomic-Adjustment-Notebook/dp/B00E290JRE/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=tecknet+mouse&qid=1621266243&sr=8-7

my scales are broken

i tried

but they brokey

[sly warren]

Oh, that's a G502 clone.

You'd be right at home with a G502 then.

[short orbit]

okay yeah i used my scales and my one is 100g

as in the body of it

you were right

that mouse is a godsend ^

i rinse people on games with it

[west hornet]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-umaru-cry-crying-tears-gif-5184314

I order moondrop aria, they go from china to united states to berlin

They are getting farther from me

[sly warren]

Still the G502 would be an upgrade. The sensor is going to be a lot better.

Logitech's Hero Sensor is excellent.

If only they made it in a mouse with the same shape and footprint as the Razer Orochi V2.

Orochi V2 is a goated mouse.

[steep pelican]

My 8 year old brother’s friend and his sister came over to our house the other day and they both had viper minis lol

I was very surprised lol

[sly warren]

Viper Mini is a good mouse. Orochi V2 is better IMO

I own a normal Viper too

And a Model O

[timber ridge]

orochi v2 is prob better, but it will never replace the mini until it drops to the same price or close to it

[thick tartan]

with the marketing its going for no shot it drops in price

maybe if they drop another mouse to compete with orochi in a dif lineup

[short orbit]

@sly warren good?

[timber ridge]

no way viper wont drop a viper mini ultimate

[sly warren]

503 is just better

[timber ridge]

everyone wants it

[sly warren]

402 is old

[thick tartan]

503 for sure

[short orbit]

but also a £15 price difference

[thick tartan]

i mean

id take the latter still

unless the 15 bucks is gonna hurt u

[timber ridge]

buy nice or buy twice

[sly warren]

^^°

Or do both

😆

[short orbit]

i mean how long will it last me

like realistically speaking

[sly warren]

A G502 will last a VERY long time.

It's built like a tank

[short orbit]

longer than 3 years?

[sly warren]

Like, 10 years

The G402 is ancient. And I don't even think it's supported by G-Hub

[short orbit]

hm okay

[sly warren]

The G402 was the predecessor to the G503

[short orbit]

ill do some googling

yeah i gathered

it goes on offer to £35?

i can wait

[sly warren]

It can yeah

You could also look at Used offerings.

A Used G503 is still likely to have 9+ years of life left.

[sly warren]

A "large scratch" can likely be buffed out TBH

If it's Amazon Warehouse it will at least work

[livid sorrel]

best headset

[timber ridge]

i have a 503 as a side mouse for productivity and its legit a tank

[short orbit]

it does say 1" or larger

that seems pretty large

[thick tartan]

lol

[short orbit]

omg someone bought it

[thick tartan]

if ur gonna wait then just wait to get a new one

[short orbit]

if someone just bought this from looking at this then i hope both sides of your pillow are warm

someone fully just bought it nooo

[dreamy goblet]

anyone knows where i can get a model o wireless in canada? (trusted retailers that has good pricing)

[timber ridge]

not sure but glorious qc is coinflip

[dreamy goblet]

wdym?

[timber ridge]

they have trash qc

your mouse is either gonna be fine or creaky with trash build quality

[dreamy goblet]

oh

so i shouldn't get one?

[timber ridge]

do you know your grip type?

and hand measurements

[dreamy goblet]

mhm honestly, no, im using a razer viper rn and it perfectly fits

[timber ridge]

#peripherals-and-displays message

this may help

[dreamy goblet]

ok

[timber ridge]

this might be easier to understand but isnt as detailed

[dreamy goblet]

prob like a palm

but a bit of fingertip as well

[timber ridge]

do you know which grip type you use more bc those two are like complete opposite

its p much impossible to find a mouse that suites both grip types p good

[pale vale]

how are you a veteran but a rookie at the same time

[dreamy goblet]

prob palm lol

[timber ridge]

you want wireless right?

[dreamy goblet]

yea

[timber ridge]

ninjutso origin

[dreamy goblet]

ok

[timber ridge]

https://ninjutso.com/products/origin-one-x-wireless-ultra-light-weight-gaming-mouse

[dreamy goblet]

can it drag click 😅

[timber ridge]

not sure tbh but its a good option

[dreamy goblet]

oh alr

maybe i can find a local shop to test out the model o wireless im getting and return it if it's bad

[timber ridge]

def can do that

but if youre palm grip thats as good as it gets for wireless until some other company drops a new ergo shape mouse

[dreamy goblet]

alr

wait, i cant even buy it in canada

[timber ridge]

should be able to ship there

[dreamy goblet]

can't seem to find a reputable site that ships it tho

[timber ridge]

p sure its only sold from them

[dreamy goblet]

lemme do some research on it lol

thanks

[sharp kindle]

creams wack

get durock poms

but ye theyre an insane deal

[rigid valve]

creams are a hard rec

once you've broken them in and lubed them all nice
they are pretty not bad

but until then, it's baaaaaad

[glass bear]

switch names are confusing

[rigid valve]

no theyre not

it just takes some time

[steep pelican]

i thought they were confusing at first but i learned most of the major switch names by now

[rigid valve]

Yeah

[steep pelican]

its just when theres something named after a fruit

and it tells you neothing about it

[rigid valve]

Lol

[glass bear]

honestly

even

red

blue and black

say nothing about a switch until you actually found out what they meant

[glass bear]

nice way to say they are confusing

[rigid valve]

Eh

They are confusing
Until you take some time

And then it become less confusing

[glass bear]

exactly

@polar sundial durgod

[daring zenith]

Hotswap op

[queen sigil]

if you gonna use hotswap then go keychron

[polar sundial]

Alright

[umbral sphinx]

lmao

[umbral sphinx]

that looks nice

[queen sigil]

@polar sundial go keychron if you want hotswap but besides that durgod is better

[daring zenith]

but hotswap is better

hehe

durgod is better build quality and such.

[daring zenith]

[timber ridge]

apparently hyperx is making a lightweight g502 alternative

[sharp kindle]

yes

viper mini is good

[umbral sphinx]

thank you

[sharp kindle]

if your hand size is under 18cm and you ftip its goated

[sly warren]

Whoa wat?

If that's true and I get this WFH job, I'm buying one for my work PC.

[timber ridge]

actually it was steelseries mb

https://www.pcgamesn.com/steelseries/rival-5-gaming-mouse-review

not really light, but lighter than the g502

[swift lantern]

Purple, ooga

[timber ridge]

rgb go brrr

[sly warren]

Hmm....

It looks nice.

[steep pelican]

Smh it’s missing like 2 buttons

[sly warren]

What the hell? It's 80 dollars?!?

[umbral sphinx]

lmao

[timber ridge]

glorious admin flexed his board a while back

[tight pulsar]

iirc goat is the only non staff to have a fe one, he helped them with the board+switches

[devout fiber]

Can I get some recommendations for some 70-80% keyboards that are white and RGB with gateron black switches at $75 or lower

I was looking at the epomaker EP84, looks like such a good keyboard but $92 with tax is so much for me when my old keyboard was $40

[timber ridge]

your options are gonna be little to non existent

nothing really comes to mind when thinking of a keyboard that checks all the marks

[spiral breach]

You got a g502? I've got the m310 😎

[gloomy berry]

I really liked my M310

Had one for years for my laptop

[spiral breach]

ive been using this for the longest time

cant remember when i got it

back when windows 7 was still relevant

[gloomy berry]

Honestly great everyday mouse

[spiral breach]

i wouldnt give this up for even a g pro its just so good

[gloomy berry]

I have a G502SE as my daily driver now

[spiral breach]

nice

[gloomy berry]

Love it

It's nice and it was on sale too

[trim flicker]

I'm using a M310 right now. I've used one of these ever since they came out

[steep pelican]

i daily drove my g502se for a long time lol and i also got it on sale what a coincidence

[little crater]

is here

pog

is also massive

[young crown]

osu machine?

[swift lantern]

If you're not using that for drawing I'm going to aliven't

[little crater]

mostly for photoshop, jackbox games, and diagram drafting

so kinda sorta drawing, just not the artsy kind

[young crown]

i use mine to fill out pdfs

(and occasionally osu)

[swift lantern]

I'm going to osu headquarters and destroying it

[wanton burrow]

nice keyboard u got there

[sharp kindle]

WKL TOO

[wanton burrow]

lol someone made me think of a recolored switch based of lazurite

bro the palette will be

https://tenor.com/view/orgasm-ah-ahh-yes-exactly-gif-14893721

gonna be pretty af

[swift lantern]

love that gif

[undone tide]

goin to try out the deathadder v2 today vs my 502 hero

[rigid valve]

Oooh

[undone tide]

ive went through 2 or the g502 heros, wondering how different the deathadder v2 will be

[sly warren]

The Deathadder V2 is strictly better for Gaming due to it's lighter weight

But, for Productivity the G502 still wins.

[sharp kindle]

you realize that some people like heavy mice right

@sly warren

[sly warren]

Heavy Mice should be outlawed for people's own safety

Anything Over 100G should be illegal.

To protect people from RSI

[sweet ore]

It just me, or does Skiptrace like to push his preferences as absolute fact?

[daring zenith]

Lol

[sharp kindle]

yep he does that

[sly warren]

It isn't a preference. Why push around 121g when you can push around 80g and have less weight to move around causing lower chances at a repetitive strain injury?

[sweet ore]

I have a Logitech G600 that I like a great deal. I believe it's one of the mice he's called too heavy, but I happen to like the fact it has some heft to it. It balances my tendency to occasionally bump the mouse when I don't mean to and ruin my targeting.

[sharp kindle]

https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=7813 its back

[native latch]

is it possible to have 2 keyboards plugged in but when i press "a" on one is triggers a macro but when i press "a" on another it just types "a"

[daring zenith]

uh

you could try to bind some things on one of them with whatever that one tool is called

[swift swift]

how to fix controller saying unknown usb device (device descriptor request ) when i plug it into my computer

[steep pelican]

I like both but for gaming I definitely prefer death adder v2, also slightly bigger so it fits my humongous hand better

[steep pelican]

Rip now I kinda regret getting my current case lol

Hmm I could get both and destroy wallet even more

But parents would disown me

[tight pulsar]

should 100+g springs be outlawed too skip lol

[sharp kindle]

rip gg

[brazen ermine]

I need a new keyboard, 150 usd budget ( can stretch it a little bit) needs to have great RGB.

I've been using membrane keyboard for at least 5 years and I'm not sure if mechanical has any advantages, if so I need quiet switches.

[swift lantern]

Outemu brown?

[brazen ermine]

Can you recommend me a keyboard ?

[swift lantern]

Someone call the keyboard squad

[brazen ermine]

I mean if you have a keyboard that relates to my budget and requirements, just tell what it is 🙃

[swift lantern]

https://www.amazon.com/TECWARE-Mechanical-Keyboard-Switches-Excellent/dp/B076YJM3V3/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=outemu+brown+rgb&qid=1621450068&sr=8-2 this maybe?

[brazen ermine]

I want the RGB of keyboard to illuminate my face up in the dark xd

That one is a little weak

[swift lantern]

no, you don't

that's bad for your eyes dude

[brazen ermine]

I didn't say, 900000000 candela search light, I said strong RGB 😆

[swift lantern]

how can you even tell fom the product page

looks pretty bright to me

[timber ridge]

i use both a heavy and lightweight mouse lol

[sharp kindle]

rgb is cringe get a leopold

[undone tide]

yeah this death adder v2 feels a lot better

[livid sorrel]

may be helpful if your looking for certain switches

@tight pulsar this good?

bc if not i got a lot more good ones

those r some

[timber ridge]

idk how i feel about some of those charts

[livid sorrel]

how

why

[gloomy berry]

Why you randomly posting in channels

[livid sorrel]

me?

[gloomy berry]

IOS, Linux and this one

[livid sorrel]

well i noticed dead chats and idk

why not

[gloomy berry]

Cuz spam

[livid sorrel]

oh

sorry

not again

[daring zenith]

Blues are a menace to society

[livid sorrel]

lol

[gloomy berry]

[daring zenith]

And just

You know we never suggest cherry switches >:p

[livid sorrel]

you don’t?

[daring zenith]

Never as switches

[livid sorrel]

why

[daring zenith]

Only when they're the only option for prebuilts

It's like 1$ per switch kind of expensive yaknow

[tight pulsar]

what

[daring zenith]

Forgot exact price

It's expensive

[tight pulsar]

they're 30¢ or 20¢ if arrow restocks again

[livid sorrel]

idk if u wanna pin or not

above

just might be kinda helpful

if not it’s fine

i can find different ones if so

[tight pulsar]

also the second and third charts give me headaches

[livid sorrel]

this?

[daring zenith]

Lol

[tight pulsar]

the last 2 i mean

[livid sorrel]

how does that one give u a headache lol

that’s understandable

even i understand it

[daring zenith]

Nachos do you have the big switch chart?

[livid sorrel]

we need a switch chart

there isn’t one here yet

[daring zenith]

We have one

[livid sorrel]

and i wanna be somewhat whelp full

we do?

[daring zenith]

Nachos didn't pin it for some reason, forgot reason

[livid sorrel]

where

[livid sorrel]

bruh

[tight pulsar]

uh i don't have it on hand if you mean the slightly old one

[daring zenith]

Ye the long one with meme switches and the "do you want to hurt yourself"

[livid sorrel]

we need a pinned switch chart

[daring zenith]

Not needed tho

[livid sorrel]

yes needed

i need to learn my switches somehow

an easy way

[tight pulsar]

i'd rather just recommend people to places like switchmodders for customs because most of the guides aren't the greatest tbh

[livid sorrel]

i gotta do sum and then i’ll look for some more helpful things

[tight pulsar]

a lot are missing more recent options such as jwick, ktt, ttc, etc

tescee are decent iirc for the price

[daring zenith]

The heck is tescee

[tight pulsar]

they make a handful of switches, mostly tactiles https://1upkeyboards.com/shop/switches/set-packs/tecsee-purple-panda-tactile-switches/

[daring zenith]

Oh interesting

Like .5$ each tho...

[tight pulsar]

blue velvets, kingfishers, lightwaves, pretty sure naevies, most things with pme housings are tescee

that was just an example

[daring zenith]

Gotcha

Anyways, no switch charts until there's a good updated one for now

[steep pelican]

me when infinity recommended me POMs and they are $.7 a switch 😐

[rigid valve]

Lmao

Should I get KBD67 lite
Or build a case and use DZ65 hotswap

[steep pelican]

kbd67 lite looking nice

wish i go that instead tbh

[rigid valve]

It’s in stock on mechanicalkeyboards.com
$123 free shipping

Restocked today

[steep pelican]

should i buy that along side my gmmk pro and cause my parents to disown me

[rigid valve]

well uh
you could always send one of them over :p

"ness WHY do u have two keyboard"

"ok now i have one"

and then my parents wont disown me either

win-win

[steep pelican]

just keep second keeb in backpack and bring it to school

buy some box jade

[rigid valve]

lmao

box jades with a brass plate

[steep pelican]

kbd67 is PC sadly

[rigid valve]

hm

i mena they sell brass plate

[steep pelican]

actually considering buying kbd67, hopefully stays in stock for a tiny bit

[rigid valve]

oh its $129 not $123

free shipping

[steep pelican]

still tho kinda a steal if you put in a budget switch and some cheap keycaps

[rigid valve]

yeah its a steal

[steep pelican]

especuilly since idk when im going to get my gmmk pro

[rigid valve]

if u have leftover caps from an old board like me

thats easily a $150 build

but alas

$150 is still pushing it

so building case probably best

but idk how start

[steep pelican]

how does one even build a case

[timber ridge]

a lot of ppl got the kbd67 first then cancelled gmmk pro orders

[rigid valve]

well my grandpa has blocks of wood and a drill bit

and a router for whatever reason

hes also got stain&seal

which would make building effectively free

wait what am i thinking lmao

its not my grandpa

he dead

its my uncle

[steep pelican]

hmm sounds interesting

idk how to wood work tho

[steep pelican]

thats what i might do, considering that gmmk pro is only up to december orders

[timber ridge]

frog tkl is gonna be like 340 rip

[steep pelican]

or i could destroy wallet and get both >:)

[timber ridge]

for a few bucks more you can get a b stock scarlet

the gasket mount on that kb actually flexes

and it has pom plate stock so its super flexy

[steep pelican]

whats that? could you link

rip thats so expenisvbe

225 with no stabs included is real expenisve lol

[timber ridge]

rip

if a stock was available, id lowkey order it

now im jus split on risking b stock or jus wait for the frog and pay more

[rigid valve]

so imma ask here cuz we have no #networking
if my house has ethernet jacks in the wall which have cat5 cables connected to them, then that means that there's a hub somewhere in the house

where would that usually be?

[steep pelican]

mine is in the room by garage, which happens to be laundryroom

[rigid valve]

ok

thx

[steep pelican]

@rigid valve what is mech keebs .com doing lol

1.30 per switch sounds reasonable hmnm

[rigid valve]

thats why you have diverse retailer choices

[steep pelican]

Hmm building keebs for job sounds fun but also like the most inconsistent and sporadic job ever

Considering how group buys work

Spend 150 on keycap set now, get in a year

[rigid valve]

yep

ness

how obvious is the ethernet hub

because i've been scouring my house for 20 minutes

and can't find anything

I now fear that it might be behind one of the appliances

[steep pelican]

If you have bigish house it should be pretty obvious.

[rigid valve]

oh no

[steep pelican]

Should be close to router too

If you know where the modem is look there @rigid valve

[rigid valve]

uh

the modem is in the office

huh

oh i forgot its behind a cabinet
how amazing

[steep pelican]

Rip

[rigid valve]

so i moved the cabinet

and its just the modem

so now im concerned that the hub is behind the washer dryer

[sly warren]

You should probably move the Modem out from behind the Cabinet.

It likely has the Router inside it.

[rigid valve]

ok thx

me appreciate

[steep pelican]

@rigid valve now where to come up with the additional 40 dollars lol

[rigid valve]

lol

summer money?

[steep pelican]

Or should I just go for it and cancel gmmk pro

[rigid valve]

uh

id cancel personally

but thats just me

[steep pelican]

Aight

I have to contact glorious rep

For some reason

Then I’ll get the 100 refunded and easy buy

[sharp kindle]

mechkeys has prices that scale

so if you buy 90 itll be cheaper thab if you just buy 10

[steep pelican]

Oh lol that makes much more sense

[steep pelican]

ight i canceled, i really like the look and style and whatever of gmmk pro but since i actually want to do this build soon im going to just buy kbd67 lite

[sharp kindle]

BASED

[timber ridge]

@swift lantern https://hifigo.com/products/2021-new-bgvp-ns9-2dd-7ba-9drivers-knowels-sonion-in-ear-earphone you see this?

[swift lantern]

I have seen them a moon or so ago

The few reviews say they are pretty "dark" which is probably good for me

[timber ridge]

whats ur ops about them

[swift lantern]

Idk id have to try them

[timber ridge]

you see super's review on it

[swift lantern]

Haven't yet

Their impedance is terrible

God can they stop doing that

[timber ridge]

i wanna pick up another iem ngl

but i also wanna get my kb out of the way

[swift lantern]

Don't buy unless you need man

Minimize the addiction!

[timber ridge]

true

[swift lantern]

What an absolute pleasure it must be to be someone who's treble deaf

[timber ridge]

idk, try putting tissue between the driver

[swift lantern]

I think that helped a little but the physical blockage makes it sound odd

[timber ridge]

tru

[sly warren]

HE-X4 is at the local UPS Sorting Facility

[tight pulsar]

hm fulla 4 was announced

[rigid valve]

Hm

Sounds cool

[steep pelican]

the refund is taking too long to come back to my card

[rigid valve]

Sadge

[steep pelican]

Hmm I assume poms should have films on them

[swift lantern]

Oh you're gonna try it?

The headphone show guy says they're basically the same as 400se which he says are similar to Sundara

[rigid valve]

Similar similar similar
But not the same

[swift lantern]

Idk how true that is, but if it is, mayhaps the Sundara should get a price drop now

[sly warren]

I ordered them on the 13th

[west hornet]

WHERE ARE MY ARIAS

[rigid valve]

Oh sorry

It was about time for me to get an upgrade anyways

[steep pelican]

They have to fly all over the world first

Then they will arrive

[west hornet]

😦

[steep pelican]

You can tell everyone they are special world traveling arias

[wraith roost]

Free keeb is actually really nice. Red optical switches.

[west hornet]

yes traveled the globe

[little crater]

YOOOOOOO

they here pog

[timid crown]

I swore that was butter initially and was so confused

[little crater]

yee bruh, everyone gets their butter imported from Russia lol

[timid crown]

I mean I didn't really read the labels, that and idk if you're in a slavic country lol

[little crater]

trying to pick the first thing to listen to on my new tubes wasnt hard

[timid crown]

😂

[little crater]

this, obviously

[timber ridge]

you got arias?

[rigid valve]

yeah like 2 weeks ago

i think

[timber ridge]

they seem p interesting for the price

[south iron]

Anyone have an opinion on the keychron switches

These options just appeared on the C1

and probably their other switches too

[timber ridge]

usually new switches by a kb company is jus a recolor of an existing switch

[twilit fjord]

can someone give me some advice on this #general-chat message

[fluid fossil]

I am glad, hope you like.

[timber ridge]

i feel like mice is one of those things i cant buy used

same with chairs, doesnt seem right

[south iron]

used chairs be wierd

[south iron]

Can someone find out if they better than gateron switches

and also should I get reds or browns

[rigid valve]

i'd get gaterons personally

and red are linear
brown are tactile

it's preference

[short orbit]

It came, literally no damage whatsoever, its so nice especially the scroll wheel

I was lucky to get it the price I did

It looks brand new

G502 for £28

[distant widget]

Thoughts? mostly looking at it for the keycaps and silent reds. https://www.newegg.com/p/32N-005K-000M1

[timber ridge]

for that price, youre getting ripped off

[rigid valve]

yeah thats kinda scammy

[west hornet]

Yes but i ordered them 3 week ago still waiting

[timber ridge]

whered u order from ?

[west hornet]

Shenzhen lol

[timber ridge]

rip

[west hornet]

Im not sure they are either in new york or berlin rn

Next time i am ordering from apos

[timber ridge]

whats gonna be ur next purchase

[west hornet]

Hopefully nothing for awhile but maybe a piano xD

[swift lantern]

comrade?

[steep pelican]

@rigid valve ordered that kbd67 lite

[rigid valve]

pog

[steep pelican]

it should ship pretty immediately right?

like not a group buy thing

[rigid valve]

dunno

[rigid valve]

is ethernet backwards-compatible

so if i put a 9-year old cat cable into a new cat5 jack would the cable fry itself and burn down the house

[timid crown]

I believe it should be fine, I think you'll be severely bottlenecked to the point where wifi might be better though

[rigid valve]

ok

im just testing the jack

bruh
ive been looking for two days
and cant find the goddamn ethernet hub

[timber ridge]

nice, honestly a lot better than the pro imo

not a fan of glorious tbh

[sly warren]

Yes, Ethernet does go down in speeds.

[rigid valve]

okay new stupid question

would it work

if i took an ethernet port from the router

and i connected that to one of the wall jacks

[steep pelican]

No

[rigid valve]

ok

sadge

[steep pelican]

You have to plug into Ethernet splitter which then splits it into all the cables that run to the ports

To the backside of the ports that is

[rigid valve]

uh

me no smart understand

guess its time to explore the garage again

[steep pelican]

Router -> Splitter. Splitter makes many signals that go inside the walls to the ports.

[rigid valve]

but if the home came with jacks

then surely it has a hub somewhere

and im just too stupid to find it

[steep pelican]

Yeah hub = splitter

[rigid valve]

ok

so surely it has that somewhere

in the house

[sweet ore]

Watch whoever installed i have put the hub in the wall.

[rigid valve]

lmao

might be me

[sweet ore]

Might have to to resort to taking the plate off one of the jacks and see if you can see where the line behind it is going.

[rigid valve]

ok

thx

[steep pelican]

Would really only tell you direction lol

[sweet ore]

Well, considering how stumped this guy is... even a direction to search might help

[rigid valve]

yep

i have now determined

that the hub is either in the laundry room, which i have searched twice
or the garage, which i have searched once
or potentially the master closet for whatever damn reason

[sweet ore]

I'd check the closet if you haven't searched that yet. Sounds about right it might have been squirreled away there.

[rigid valve]

yeah

[sly warren]

Have you tried getting one of those Ethernet Continuity Testers?

[rigid valve]

those what what whats??

me no know

[sly warren]

https://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-Continuity-Assemblies-N044-000-R/dp/B000VM6TTI

[rigid valve]

what do it do

[sly warren]

It tests if there's continuity between 2 sections of network.
