[daring zenith]

And yea, stereo sound is better than 'surround sound' for headphones

[coral void]

I was looking at the c1, I don't want a full keyboard.

[steep pelican]

I don’t think I could go back to full just cause buying switches later for it would cost so much

70 switches vs 110 is a big price difference

[daring zenith]

C1 hotswap with blues

[steep pelican]

@coral void ^

[daring zenith]

There's also k8 hotswap with blues
https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k8-tenkeyless-wireless-mechanical-keyboard?variant=32018252824665

Prob on amazon too

[steep pelican]

Why does keychron charge like 20 dollar shipping again it’s so weird

[daring zenith]

China

It's like 2 day shipping via DHL

Pretty sure it's air freight

[steep pelican]

Oh rip

Air freight

[coral void]

Realized that it has the apple command key, what about windows?

[daring zenith]

It has both

It comes with both keycaps

It's for Mac and windows

[shut cobalt]

@sly warren i want gaming headset because im gamer not that much of music listener and also the cable is really annoying and i dont want that headset they look bad and have cable witch i really dont want you really cant recommend me something i want and be decent?

[steep pelican]

They will still sound better in gaming too

[coral void]

Alright looks good, and what about a mouse?

[shut cobalt]

@steep pelican but not have gaming features like 7.1

[steep pelican]

7.1 will make your headset just sound worse and not really do any thing I believe

[gloomy berry]

Agreed. 7.1 gaming headets are hot garbage

[sly warren]

No, I can't because I can't recommend them in good faith.

A good pair of stereo headphones like the K361 will be leagues better in ALL situations compared to any "gaming" headset.

And the Samson Go Mic will kick the ass of any Headset Mic

[daring zenith]

7.1 is bad for gaming, stereo is actually just better for positional audio

[thick tartan]

i cant take it anymore im getting new stabs for gmk compact

[shut cobalt]

but i see reviews and nothing of them say something bad about 7.1

[thick tartan]

its driving me nuts

/rattle

[daring zenith]

It's not just sounds bad, positional audio is actually bad relative to stereo tbh

[sly warren]

Amazon reviewers dont know squat about good audio

[shut cobalt]

not amazon reviews on youtube

[sly warren]

YouTube reviewers are just paid to say it's good

Trust me, you will be blown away with how good the K361 sound

[shut cobalt]

you say linus was paid?

[sly warren]

Yes.

[steep pelican]

Sponsored, yes he was. He can’t be trashing gaming headsets if he wants gaming headset sponsors now can he?

[latent hull]

ngl this just seems like satire rn

[sly warren]

He is literally making money from reviews

[shut cobalt]

but there is a also a bad reviews and they never mentioned the 7.1 was bad

[steep pelican]

Pretty much all of the smart people on here that know lots more about audio than I do say 7.1 surround is bad

I’m pretty sure they actually know what they are talking about

[daring zenith]

I mean, even Linus says surround sound is basically BS here
https://youtu.be/-_JpAyWMeiQ

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Linus testing kinda crap but

Yaknow

[little crater]

"7.1 surround" just messes with your audio, it doesnt magically make an additional 5 speakers and 1 subwoofer appear out of nowhere.

your headphones are 2.0, and thats all they will ever be, unless you get that one goofy razer one

[shut cobalt]

but it dosent make gaming better?

[little crater]

its just audio processing to give the illusion of surround

[steep pelican]

Nope

[little crater]

if you have good headphones, it will make it so much worse

[steep pelican]

How would it make gaming “better”

[gloomy berry]

I had a 7.1 headset

It sounded like poo

went back to stereo

[little crater]

for bad headphones, it could potentially make directional audio better, but sound like garbo

[daring zenith]

But good headphones just have better positional audio with stereo :p

[little crater]

if you only got 50 dollars for headphones, and you only care about directional audio and not audio quality, im sure the surround sound headphones would work

but dont lol

invest in a good headphone that you can use for the next 10 years

[daring zenith]

Ur40 would probably still have better positional audio lol

[little crater]

ya know

prolly

lol

[daring zenith]

Ur40 is actually really nice for positional audio

And sounds nice

[shut cobalt]

so why if it bad why a lot of gaming headset use 7.1

[sly warren]

Because marketing exists.

[daring zenith]

And they like making the feature list long

[sly warren]

On top of that companies don't care about making a good product they simply care about making a product.

This goes especially for gaming companies.

[little crater]

in general, most gaming headsets are poo in the first place

aside from hyperx cloud 2s and sennheiser gaming headsets

[sly warren]

And even those are very mediocre compared to good headphones

[little crater]

tru

[daring zenith]

PC37x is decent, PC38x is actually kinda good-ish, but yea.

[sly warren]

PC38X are okay for music but they actually suffer in gaming. I'm also surprised that Google said that all correctly I'm using voice typing right now.

[little crater]

they good enough for integrated PC audio lol

for people who dont want a standalone mic

[daring zenith]

Lol

[shut cobalt]

but it not for me i just wanted a decent wireless gaming headset thats all you cant just recomended something decent i really hate the looks of that headsets and the fact it is wired

[sly warren]

But why does the wire matter. It will give you superior audio quality and you will be happier with your purchase if you purchase a wired pair of headphones.

[daring zenith]

Knowledge is power

[shut cobalt]

wireless is better i just wanted a decent sound dosent have to amazing

[sly warren]

None of the wireless headsets are anywhere near better than wired headphones without a microphone. Wireless will always give inferior quality and sound.

I wouldn't even call the best wireless headset adequate for gaming use because it is not built well for audio in general.

Even my cheapest recommended pair of headphones will be orders of magnitude better than a quote unquote gaming headset.

[gloomy berry]

I mean my HyperX Revolvers sounded great for stereo gaming but the 7.1 stuff is garbage marketing :/

[shut cobalt]

they dont look good and they are very small

[gloomy berry]

Small??

They def aren't small, completely over ear

[shut cobalt]

in the pictures ya

[sly warren]

Looks don't really matter with headphones. You put them on your head you can't see them.

[gloomy berry]

Super comfy

But the 7.1 is a gimmick lol

[shut cobalt]

so i just can buy a wireless gaming headset and turn off the 7.1 and it will work decent

[sly warren]

In my opinion no since they are a waste of money because you can pay the same amount of money for superior audio quality from almost any pair of headphones.0

[shut cobalt]

i need wireless

[sly warren]

Gaming headsets are a scam you should never purchase one.

Wireless is also a scam and you should stop liking it or wanting it.

Okay I actually mean that towards audio not other wireless gear wireless keyboards and wireless mice are really awesome

Wireless audio is effectively a scam unless you are purchasing Bluetooth earbuds or headphones for your phone specifically those are fine.

[shut cobalt]

bluetooth just not good for gaming i have bluetooth headset good for the phone not for gaming

[sly warren]

Yes that is why we are trying to steer you towards a pair of wired headphones and a separate mic Wireless in general is not good for gaming Even dongle headsets are bad.

You don't need wireless You want wireless even though it doesn't give you any major benefits.

On top of the fact that wireless has to be charged so you may experience a cutout in the middle of a gaming session and then they become effectively wired anyways.

In short wireless audio is a scam just by wired headphones!

I'm not trying to sound like a jerk, but you have given no actual use case for your wireless purchase.

[shut cobalt]

i cant buy them i need wireless it has the benefit of not having a cable that is on your chair

[sly warren]

What? That makes no sense. Having a cable on your chair doesn't matter it doesn't do anything it doesn't hurt you.

Wow that sentence really needed commas.

[shut cobalt]

sorry about that my english is really bad is not a language that i use all the day and i just make sense of what i said

[sly warren]

I was talking about my sentence

[daring zenith]

Also, you could just route cables differently

My headphone cables don't bother me like at all, I can just push them to the side and such

[shut cobalt]

the cable just go to the computer that all

[daring zenith]

Amp dac are nice

[sly warren]

And, good headphones LAST. They don't go bad like food or GPUs or anything like that.

[shut cobalt]

i use a laptop how dac will help its not a gaming the laptop i use it for light gaming the console is for pure gaming

[sly warren]

Wireless gear has a finite time limit

[sly warren]

DAC is a Digital To Analog Converter. It's part of how headphones make sound

And the DAC in all Wireless gear sucks.

[daring zenith]

Yes, better dac = better sound

[sly warren]

(Up to a Limit)

[shut cobalt]

its more money

[sly warren]

Not much.

The Apple USB-C to 3.5mm dongle is 9 USD and smacks around 90% of basic motherboard audio

[shut cobalt]

if i want a good dac its gonna be pricey

[sly warren]

Again... See my last message

Apple Dongle beats 90% of motherboard audio

Only like, the super extreme high-end motherboards have slightly better audio gear in them.

[shut cobalt]

but the cable still be annoying

[sly warren]

How?

It just sits there

It does nothing.

You can route it however you want.

[shut cobalt]

this is not a option for me sorry 😦 and i have an laptop and also the headsets you recommended isnt available in my Country and the taxes here are pretty high

[sly warren]

I mean, it is an option

You just plug the headphones into your laptop

GG

Also, what country?

[shut cobalt]

israel

[sly warren]

Oh, well... I think you might be able to get Audio Technica M40Xs

Those are more widely available

[shut cobalt]

i cant stand about it being wired

[sly warren]

Why.

What is making you so vehemently opposed to a SINGLE WIRE

Did a wire kill someone close to you?

[shut cobalt]

my mouse is also wireless and i love it lol

[shut cobalt]

lol

[sly warren]

Yes, but wireless audio and wireless mice/keyboards are 2 totally different ballgames.

Wireless audio sucks, Wireless Keyboards and Mice suck

Whoops

Meant to say don't suck

[shut cobalt]

lol

i think i just make the choice on my on because you cant recommended a wireless gaming headset

thank for the helps though

[sly warren]

And then you will be disappointed with what you get because you won't be able to hear any footsteps or positional audio

But, I guess you can't fix someone who is so set on 1 thing. Yes, I know there is irony in that statement.

[thick tartan]

i want a D60 so bad

[shut cobalt]

true

[shut cobalt]

thats really funny though

[timber ridge]

if you dont care about having good audio then get hyperx's wireless headset

i think its the alphas

[daring zenith]

Cloud ii wireless exists too

[timber ridge]

think thats what imi talking about

forgot the naming scheme

[shut cobalt]

there price is good but i really wanted the g935 or nari ultimate because they look good the flight a little bit less

[timber ridge]

dont get 935

[shut cobalt]

they also not come to my Country for now

[timber ridge]

i had them a long while back

theyre heavy, garbage mic and the power switch went out

[shut cobalt]

there just no stuck of it

[shut cobalt]

and the nari?

[timber ridge]

cant speak for the nari but i never liked how bulky razer headsets were

[shut cobalt]

i really wanted the corsair too but they are very expensive

[timber ridge]

i personally wouldnt get gamer headsets anymore after finding out whats actually good in the audio side of things

but a gamer headset will get the job done

if i were to go wireless id go with logitech or hyperx

maybe corsair

[daring zenith]

Meh

[timber ridge]

my gf had virtuosos but said the comfort wasnt there

[daring zenith]

They're all kinda crappy, other than afaik cloud ii being decent

[timber ridge]

ye

[daring zenith]

And virtuoso is like one of the only headphones Zeo didn't like lel

[shut cobalt]

corasir in my Country is like 274 dollars

really expensive

[timber ridge]

hyperx prob your best bet

[shut cobalt]

but the nari looks why better and a lot of people say they are very comfortable

and i dont want the flight

or stinger

they way worse than the cloud 2

i think the revolver wireless is also not in my country

[timber ridge]

oh, the hyperx one should be cloud 2 wireless

not the stinger or flight

[shut cobalt]

and buy from amazon or newegg its just expensive with all the taxses

[shut cobalt]

but it isnt in my coutry

[timber ridge]

ah ok

if you think youll be happy with the naris buy that

[sly warren]

The Nari will sound worse than the HyperX

[timber ridge]

i wouldnt recommend it but if you think youll like it go for it

its your headset

not mine

[daring zenith]

Basically, know that every option you currently have is basically crap

[shut cobalt]

but i cant get them

[timber ridge]

???

[shut cobalt]

thats the problem

[sly warren]

Then just get Wired if it's so expensive to get Wireless

[timber ridge]

you cant get naris either?

[shut cobalt]

not the nari

[daring zenith]

It's just the lesser of the two evils

[shut cobalt]

the hyperx

[timber ridge]

if youll be happy with the nari then get them, jus know like almost every other option will be better

youre buying it for the gamer aesthetic

not audio quality

[shut cobalt]

there is also roccat wireless very cheap like 114 dollars

but they look cheap

[sly warren]

Probably is gonna suck donkey nuts

[shut cobalt]

lol

steelseries and nacon for some reason lol

[sly warren]

Steel series would be "ok"

[timber ridge]

yea

theyre prob more comfy than all ur options too

[shut cobalt]

yea but they dont have the 7x only the 1 wireless or 7 renewd

[sly warren]

The 1's should be good enough.

[shut cobalt]

really?!

they look bad

[sly warren]

Well, you clearly don't care about Audio Quality

Why TF are you caring about looks?

Either care about price, or audio quality

Looks don't matter when your device is on your head where you can't hear it.

*see it

[timber ridge]

ayyee vintage

[gloomy berry]

Wyh TF do you recommend the Samson mic when people want integrated with headset? Same answer, because you like it.

[timber ridge]

long time no see lol

[sly warren]

Because integrated mic bad

[gloomy berry]

Nah

[shut cobalt]

you know looks matter too and the sound i know not going to be amazing but decnet enough

[gloomy berry]

mic on my HyperX was on par with a ModMic or slightly better

[shut cobalt]

both g935 and nari ultimate sound bad i heard

[gloomy berry]

Neither of which is great since it's going through the onboard Realtek tho

Find YouTube videos of people using the mics

Actual real world testing

[shut cobalt]

only the integrated mic in g pro is ok

or the virtuoso

[shut cobalt]

thats what i see

[gloomy berry]

If you use the HyperX dongle though it helps

https://youtu.be/tfpe7XiokuQ?t=461

That timestamp tests the HyperX mic vs the ModMic 5.0

SO they ain't all bad

[sly warren]

Yeah, but all the money realistically went into that mic capsule. The drivers are not great and not tuned for good gaming audio.

[gloomy berry]

uh

They worked pretty good in stereo mode

[sly warren]

And yet they get smashed by the 40 dollar Koss UR40

[gloomy berry]

On paper

[shut cobalt]

the g pro and virtuoso has a better integrated mic than the hyperx

[sly warren]

And in the real world

[gloomy berry]

Then it'll sound even better

[sly warren]

I had HyperX Clouds at one point. And the UR40 sound so much more open and have amazing stereo position accuracy

The Clouds sound muddy

[gloomy berry]

Right, clouds

Which Clouds

There's a few

[gloomy berry]

Wow, that mic does actually sound pretty good. Just a hint of static in the background. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nom9k0Cn6jU

[timber ridge]

it got better with updates iirc

[shut cobalt]

yes

[timber ridge]

but comfort isnt there

[gloomy berry]

IDK I could wear my HyperX all day without issues, it was comfy

[shut cobalt]

i found the cloud 2 wireless but very pricey like 237 dollars

[timber ridge]

talking about the virtuoso

[shut cobalt]

its really close to the virtuoso

in the price range

[gloomy berry]

Virtuoso better I think

If they're the same price where you are, Corsair then

[shut cobalt]

its really pricey the nari costs like 153 dollars

[gloomy berry]

Razer Nari?

[shut cobalt]

yes

[gloomy berry]

From my experience, Razer headsets aren't that great.

[shut cobalt]

but better than g935?

the g935 cost like 178

[timber ridge]

g935 is garbage

[shut cobalt]

i dont understand whats the differences models of corsair virtuoso

[timber ridge]

one jus looks fancier

[shut cobalt]

thats all lol

and just more expensive

[timber ridge]

the more expensive one use to have a worse mic

but i think thtey fixed it with an update

[sly warren]

Cloud 1's arguably the best of the Clouds

No Surround garbage, no dongle, just Headphones and Mic

[shut cobalt]

you know you just can turn off the surround sound

[sly warren]

Even with the Surround Off, the Cloud 2s suck compared to Cloud 1s

The dongle makes the sound worse.

Yes, it had it's own USB Dongle even as a Wired headset

[shut cobalt]

the color espresso of the virtuoso looks amazing

but very pricey

[thick tartan]

hyperx used to make me go bald

[jolly stratus]

vg259qm vs aw2521hf?
240hz 1080p monitors

[rigid valve]

Make sure they’re IPS panel type

[timber ridge]

imo you dont need 240hz unless youre playing osu or some

[rigid valve]

If you’re a pro gamer

[west hornet]

Pro osu

[daring zenith]

Prosu

[steep pelican]

I’m a prosu

Jk

[west hornet]

lol that was one of my friends name

[rigid valve]

I swear I just got a ghost unread

[gentle nymph]

whats a good wireless mouse, (preferably white) and budget, $100 USD max

also does any mouse have an option to toggle a hold key? like so i can toggle it so the right click for example is constantly held down with out the need for a weight (to afk in games such as mc)

[shut cobalt]

there is a g703 in white it cost 100 dollars but if you have a large hands you need a big mouse like corsair dark core rgb for 80 dollars but there is no white one ):

[daring zenith]

There is model o wireless

Also the razer wireless mice, forgot name

[shut cobalt]

man o war? i just checked man o war are headset

there is a also razer mamba gears of war edition in white

looks amazing

74 dollars in amazon!

but before i think it was like 50 dollars or 60

[daring zenith]

@shut cobalt was thinking of viper ultimate, but that's 120$, orochi should be good though

[shut cobalt]

yea and the white one is 150 dollars

[shut cobalt]

and there is also a cyberpunk one and pink one

[daring zenith]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[shut cobalt]

the orchi is kinda the cheap ones from razer

[daring zenith]

??

I'm talking about the Orochi v2

the one that came out like a month ago

The one that's pretty nice for claw

[shut cobalt]

also is 70 dollars the mamba isnt better?

[daring zenith]

...

more expensive doesn't mean better

And mice is all about what fits your hand

[shut cobalt]

the shape of the mamba is better

[daring zenith]

....???

wat

Orochi is better for palm/claw from what I can tell

Orochi should also be lighter with a better sensor

[shut cobalt]

also the g703 is good too

[daring zenith]

eh, orochi would be lighter, the rest depends on their hand and grip

[shut cobalt]

yea

[wanton burrow]

god i love this so much

[daring zenith]

wat

[calm cobalt]

Any of ya know if akko ocean blue switches are good?

[sly warren]

Depends on your grip and hand size.

Also that is not a feature of any mouse I know of.

If your hands fit it, I highly recommend the Orochi V2

Very solid mouse.

[timber ridge]

yea really depends on your grip type

i would skip the orochi if you have big hands and use claw grip or something

[timber ridge]

cant vouch for their tactiles but their linears are good

[sly warren]

I claw it at... 18.5cm x 9.5cm

So, fairly average hand size.

I wouldn't want to even use it if I had my friend's gigantic 20cm x 11cm hands

He's like 6'9"

[timber ridge]

oof

wireless mice are getting way more love

so if he were to use palm or claw id prob recommend something else

[sly warren]

Now all we need is a proper Bluetooth implementation on PC and we can have good Wireless everything!

[steep pelican]

I have 21cm x 11cm and I’m 6 foot 😐 how

[sly warren]

Maybe I'm miss-remembering his hand size.

[steep pelican]

My dad is 6’3” and probably 24-25 cm length

[wanton wagon]

uses feet for height

uses cm for hand

[timber ridge]

do you need the wire around your neck?

[sly warren]

How?!?

Just buy a pair of Koss KSC75's and a BTR5 and call it a day.

The BTR5 probably will be expensive for you, but they will let you use ANY pair of headphones with Bluetooth

If you were a bit more responsible and didn't keep losing your right earbud somehow, I'd recommend the QCY T5's for a very good sounding cheap pair of TWS IEMs

Then get KSC75's and a BTR5

The KSC75's clip on over your ear, and the BTR5 has a clip.

Then you just run the wire through your shirt

And GG you have the best of both worlds.

[timber ridge]

you look into sports oriented wireless earbuds with hooks?

[sly warren]

sigh

See previous statement

KSC75's will fit any human being's ear.

Including yours.

https://www.amazon.com/Koss-KSC75-Portable-Stereophone-Headphones/dp/B0006B486K and https://www.amazon.com/Qudelix-5K-Bluetooth-Adaptive-Unbalanced-Balanced/dp/B088F7C976/ref=sr_1_2

I meant to say Qudelix 5K actually.

[timber ridge]

tbh im not familiar with wireless earbuds with the neck band thingy

[sly warren]

I keep forgetting it exists.

Or alternatively if you think the KSC75's will somehow not fit your ear, you could get Koss PortaPros instead.

[timber ridge]

isnt there a really good budget bt dac

forgot the name but its square shape

[sly warren]

That I know of? No

[gloomy berry]

How cheap?

[sly warren]

For a little less than the Q5K you can get the ES100

https://www.amazon.com/EarStudio-ES100-24bit-High-Resolution-Bluetooth-Unbalanced/dp/B078H4YD2L/ref=sr_1_17

[timber ridge]

i was thinking of the es100 but i could of sworn it was cheaper

[gloomy berry]

Trying to find the pair I got my wife, gota check amazon history XD

Does battery life outweigh sound quality? Pretty sure hers were less than $50 and they sound OK but not great.

[sly warren]

ES100 + KSC75. The ES100 lasts around 10hr on a full charge

[timber ridge]

bruh

gotta learn how to recommend stuff that people are looking for whether if its not the best or not

[gloomy berry]

Ah, the ones I got her were on Massdrop for $30 instead of $85. Not sure if you want to wait or not

https://drop.com/buy/massdrop-x-nuforce-stride-bluetooth-iems

[sly warren]

I did.

[timber ridge]

some ppl are looking for things that simply fit the description

[sly warren]

I did.

[gloomy berry]

Let me look some more tho

[sly warren]

ES100 lasts more than the time they need, and would still fit the needs of a runner.

Clip it on your shirt and go for a run

And then the KSC75 are like, peak running headphones as long as you thread the cable through your shirt.

[timber ridge]

for 50 dollars there isnt much that fits the description and i usually hate recommending them but beats flex fit the description perfectly

50 dollar with the thing that goes around ur neck

[gloomy berry]

yeah, or the Massdrop ones.

[timber ridge]

yup either or

[gloomy berry]

Still looking though, I had a pair on stand by that I passed on

[timber ridge]

beats are more readily available so you can maybe test them out and return them easily

and they work with apple products well iirc

not sure if the same goes for their budget products but their more expensive stuff connects the same way as airpods

[gloomy berry]

Like, just a wire that goes behind your neck or something more like a necklace that kind of rests around your neck?

Gotcha

You like bass or don't care?

[timber ridge]

ooo if its jus wired then there is like 100x more options lmao

[gloomy berry]

Nah

[sly warren]

Like the KSC75

[gloomy berry]

There are two kinds of bluetooth IEM

One is just a cable

[sly warren]

Or the Tin T2

Or like, a billion other Wired IEMs

[gloomy berry]

The other has an actual thing that kind of clips around the back of your neck

[timber ridge]

are you talking about the plastic neckband?

[gloomy berry]

Yeah

[timber ridge]

ohhh ok

gotchu

[gloomy berry]

that houses the battery and BT module and stuff

[timber ridge]

i think lg has stuff with the plastic neckband iirc

[gloomy berry]

Yeah but Rommy doesn't want that

Which is why I asked

https://smile.amazon.com/Sony-Wi-Xb400-Wireless-Headphones-WIXB400/dp/B07WNXS613 If all you need them for is working out or running/jogging or something I'd snag these.

https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/sony/wi-xb400-extra-bass-wireless

$40

15 hour battery life

[timber ridge]

if you have smaller ears id go with the headphones that are readily available in stores and amazon b4 touching drop

return process should be much easier if you dont start with drop

[gloomy berry]

For sure

Oh wow, just found some JBL's too, stand by

Never mind

32" cable might be a bit long XD

Sure

[timber ridge]

so the options so far is xb400, beats flex and the drop ones?

[sly warren]

Skip most anything wireless then. It's gonna accentuate Bass

Beats, those Sonys

Etc.

[timber ridge]

im not sure how new beats tuning is but if its anything like the airpods pros then it should be fine

[sly warren]

Most people are like "More bass equals more bettar"

[gloomy berry]

These got good reviews as well but have a 32" cable and 6 hour battery life https://smile.amazon.com/JBL-T205BT-Wireless-Bluetooth-Headphone/dp/B07PHVQFJK

[sly warren]

When, there's a GOOD way to do bass

The KSC75's should fit exactly what you need other than not being wireless inherently.

[timber ridge]

cable gonna be going halfway down his back lmao

[gloomy berry]

Maybe XD

Yeah

[sly warren]

Well, you are already above and beyond a normal consumer

[gloomy berry]

The SOny's are pretty neutral

[sly warren]

You don't like gigabass

[gloomy berry]

Despite being labeled as bass

[sly warren]

KSC75's have slightly recessed bass, but they are very crisp and clean and don't sound muddy at all

[timber ridge]

pretty sure the beats flex has usb c and a form of quick charge

something to keep in mind while deciding

[steep pelican]

Lubing switches takes so long

[gloomy berry]

Yeah, they do have a quick charge actually

https://smile.amazon.com/Beats-Flex-Wireless-Earphones-Built/dp/B08L6ZYW21

Actually, I'ma side with Lance

Those beats look the best with the smallest earpiece

[sly warren]

Pretty sure they said in-ears suck because their ears are smol

So, even those might not be smol enough.

I think something that actually would "clip" onto their ear would work best.

Hense my suggestion for KSC75's

And they double as Wired Headphones if they ever need them.

[gloomy berry]

You didn't listen well enough. :/

[sly warren]

The ES100 just turns them into BT headphones also

And really any headphones or speakers into BT headphones/speakers

[gloomy berry]

Shake N Lube?

[steep pelican]

Mmmmm that scares me

[sly warren]

Bag Lubing Springs 👌

Bag Lubing Housings 🤮

[steep pelican]

I require perfection

Main problem is that I’m watching YouTube while doing it so it’s slower lol

[gloomy berry]

That didn't take nearly as long as when I had to replace the screen cable in my Dad's laptop. Did it at their house. Asked for the laptop, they gave it to me. Got it 75% torn apart before we all realized it was my Mom's machine and not my Dad's. XD

[sweet ore]

Ouch

Lunch was worth it XD

[thick tartan]

looking for new tactiles

[timber ridge]

spring swap em and theyll b p nice

[thick tartan]

springs are prefrence i imagine or what weight

[timber ridge]

they cheaped out on springs

[steep pelican]

ive seen recommendations for akko ocean blues

[timber ridge]

@tight pulsar you know if polia stems are similar to panda stems?

[tight pulsar]

yeah

[timber ridge]

might try to swap them in t1s housings

[steep pelican]

12 switches lubed

55 to go

😦

[gleaming matrix]

Does evga make good keyboardz?

[rigid valve]

Nope

If you need a keyboard recommendation then I’ll need some info first

[gleaming matrix]

I just got the Corsair K60 but saw evga was having a sale on keyboards and power supplies

[sly warren]

Well, you can really only go up from that keyboard.

Big manufacturers don't really make the best keyboards.

[gleaming matrix]

I don't see anything wrong with it besides the lack of sound control but I set a macro for it

[sly warren]

There's a lot wrong with like 99% of the Corsair, Logitech, and Razer keyboards.

Mostly about build quality.

An actual keyboard nerd would be able to tell you the full thing.

[rigid valve]

So

Gamer keyboards present with a couple problems usually

Low-quality keycaps that aren’t very thick, occasionally shine light, and have weird “gamer” fonts
Proprietary or Cherry switches that are scratchy as hell and wobbly
Low-quality soldered PCB
Lack of screw-in stabilizer support
Lack of hotswap
Lack of QMK/VIA support (less important)
Bad build quality
Occasional/often use of optical switches, which are much less customizable

That’s what I can think of at the moment

[cyan raven]

anyone know a good chair

[rigid valve]

What’s ur budget

[sly warren]

Cheap: Staples Hyken Mesh
Expensive: Pick a Herman Miller and buy it used
I have no limit: Buy a new Herman Miller

[cyan raven]

chairs?

[rigid valve]

Basically this

Any cheap mesh chair will do

Just feel it a lil

[gleaming matrix]

I was looking at the keychron but there's no way for me to test it out before I buy it

[sly warren]

Ehhhh, The Hyken Mesh is the only cheap chair I can solidly recommend

[sly warren]

Keychron Good

[rigid valve]

Keychron good

Cheap, hotswap, build quality is decent-good

[gleaming matrix]

Ye I heard dat but like ya can't try it out without buying it

[sly warren]

And?

I really doubt you are going to be dissatisfied by a Keychron.

Hell, I take the plunge on Audio gear without recommendations sometimes.

[rigid valve]

If u want 60% layout then wait until June or July when the K12 drops

[rigid valve]

Bold

[gleaming matrix]

I like the full keyboard since it's full price lol

[sly warren]

I got the HiFiMan x Drop HE-X4 without any real knowledge about it other than "It sounds like the HE400SE, but it's cheaper" and it's a very 👌

[sly warren]

🤔

Full Size Keyboards are stupid

[rigid valve]

Lol

[sly warren]

How often do you REALLY use the numpad?

[gleaming matrix]

often tbh

[rigid valve]

They have a place
But in a very very specific niche

[sly warren]

In a working situation? Yeah, I use the numpad at work a lot

[rigid valve]

Do u use navigation keys

[sly warren]

But at home? I have no use for one.

[gleaming matrix]

I don't use the arrow keys often though but I do the numb pad

work and gamin

[rigid valve]

You use the numpad
For GAMING!?

Most unusual

[gleaming matrix]

Oh not for gaming but for work

[sly warren]

Here's a big brain idea.

Get a 60% board, and a separate numpad

Bring the numpad down for work

Put it away for play

https://tenor.com/view/pewdiepie-big-brain-youtube-pewdiepie-big-brain-pewds-gif-14807319

[rigid valve]

If u need arrows then go 65

75 if u want

[sly warren]

75% is the "ideal" layout for least space, most keys

[rigid valve]

This is true

[cyan raven]

i love my numpad

[rigid valve]

Mmmm

Preference ig

[glass bear]

Honestly I'm blissfully ignorant lol

My keyboard isn't spectacular but I've never had anything better so it's perfect

[gleaming matrix]

poor numpad ;-; it'd be so lonely

[steep pelican]

Yeah I fell in too deep

Bought prebuilt mech, was decent

Then watched YouTube

Now bought 200 dollar custom keeb

[rigid valve]

lmao

At least you actually have the money to randomly drop on a keyboard

[gleaming matrix]

My thing with the keychron is that it's built around macs at like the one I looked at the C2

plus the type-C

[glass bear]

i mean i do too but

im a little more

careful about what i spend it on

its like idk

[timber ridge]

corepads came in 4 the m800

[glass bear]

im not sure how much better a more expensive keyboard will be if i dont have an issue with this one

oo

im gonna have to order them eventually

[timber ridge]

its a lot smoother unless im experiencing the placebo effect

[glass bear]

waiting for my nicehash payout

yeah corepads are pretty good

[timber ridge]

feels a lot smoother

makes me question if its placebo or not lmao

[glass bear]

lmfao

i kinda want them too

seems like a good investment for something im probably going to use for like 2 years

at least

but never in a million years is my dad agreeing to that

so i gotta figure out a way to get them delivered somehow lol

if they were on amazon it would be super easy

[timber ridge]

gl

[glass bear]

just use the locker

but they arent

[gritty marlin]

sorry but all other keyboards are now cancelled

[near coral]

heyo, prob a weird question, but whats the best “prebuilt” 100% keyboard i can get? (need 100% for work, ie numpad n function keys). I don’t know much at all about keyboards, but i love the sound of holy panda switches. I currently have the red dragon s101 (its cherry mx browns i think?) and i want something thats a lil quieter for when i work late nights. Dont really care much for rgb but it would be nice. Wired is preferred

[rigid valve]

Uh

Uhhhhhh

[near coral]

yeah im kinda new to keyboards ngl

[rigid valve]

All I can think of is the Keychron C2 for fullsize

Why no build?

[rigid valve]

You could also get a smaller keyboard with functions keys and a separate numpad

[near coral]

lack the time and knowledge

[rigid valve]

This would requires some building

[near coral]

hm

[rigid valve]

I somehow doubt you lack ~30 minutes to assemble a keyboard

[near coral]

i was under the impression it would take hours😂

[rigid valve]

It takes hours if u lube and film

But you don’t need to

It’s just for feel

And sound

[near coral]

im more of a functionality guy, but my current keyboard is EXTREMELY loud

[rigid valve]

Uh

Hmm

Would you want more of a tactile bump

And also do you have some sort of budget

[near coral]

id like to keep it under $100 but i just looked at the price of the switches and had no clue they went for that much

[near coral]

what does this mean?

[rigid valve]

It’s hard to find cherry switches on their own

[rigid valve]

So when you press down with a brown, there is a momentary phenomenon of increased resistance provided by the switch which then lets go

It may be hard to notice on browns

Because their resistance increase is small

[near coral]

i like to feel like im actually pushing something down if that makes sense so i would say yes tactile bump

[rigid valve]

$100 for full-size your only option basically is Keychron C2
And you could swap out the switches for Boba U4 Silents
It’d take probably half an hour to an hour

If even that long

Idk much about the Keychron hotswap sockets

Hotswap is a feature where you can take switches out and put them back in without soldering/desoldering them btw

[near coral]

oooooo okay

[rigid valve]

Super super useful

Especially if you’re lazy/scared of soldered

Just like me!

[near coral]

Like this?

[rigid valve]

Yep

[near coral]

And its hotswappable?

ah nvm it isnt

[rigid valve]

Oh I forgot to check mb mb

C2 hotswap appears to be out of stock, unfortunately

[near coral]

ah rip, thank you tho

[steep pelican]

I’m in this chat more than build chat now lol

[thick tartan]

this chat is home

[rigid valve]

Yes

As someone who’s PC runs everything he wants very nicely, I’m lookin for more random stuff to dump money into
Or at least fantasize about dumping money into

[wanton burrow]

[wanton burrow]

Leopold FC980M

[wanton burrow]

hmmmmmmmm

[rigid valve]

What

[wanton burrow]

don't get how cherry switches is "hard" to find on their own

[rigid valve]

It’s not like hard

Not like rare

But the price on them can be stupid

[wanton burrow]

oh maybe vints in aftermarket?

haven't seen the price but the effort of getting them kinda gives a sense of its price ig

hypergildes are gud tho some says the springs is meh

it breaks in fast

[sharp kindle]

huh

[sharp kindle]

apparently just cherrypicking retools is more worth that hyperglides

also cherry springs have always been wack

if you dont spring swap cherries youre doing something wrong

[wanton burrow]

lol

i already listed 70g tx springs kek

[wanton burrow]

well idk where to get retools locally. but hgs at lest has some 2-3 listings i see

[wanton burrow]

[thick tartan]

holy sheet

tht wpm mmmm

[shut cobalt]

i just heard the mic on the pulse 3d and i think its the best mic on gaming headset

better than the g pro and the virtuoso for sure

and its kinda insane because they cheaper than them

[tight pulsar]

why does everybody think cherry switches are expensive

retools are cheaper than jwks

and people swap the springs because they aren’t the best, they have a lot of variance (pretty sure blacks have +/- 10g where sprit has +/- 1 or 2g) and blacks have heavy springs stock

[wanton burrow]

80g bottomout with +/- 10 deviance

[brisk parcel]

well

the sndaras are...

sundara

pads are a little wrinkled though, gonna probs take them off to let them fluff up

[calm cobalt]

Is the razer Huntsman a good keyboard to buy

[tight pulsar]

@brisk parcelyou picked up some sundaras?

[west hornet]

You have sundara now?

[wanton burrow]

i'd say no

most if not all "gamer" keyboards from gamer brands is aa hard guess of it being "good"

i'd say keychron for wireless and hotswap
womier for cheap prebuilt that's aslo great for tight budget but still wants custom board
and leopold of u just don't care about modding and just want a premium prebuilt that's not so mcuh premium in price

[brisk parcel]

@tight pulsar @west hornet I do

sundara

pads have a few wrinkles but im sure they'll flatten out over time

gotten a lil better already

and I think hifiman was right about the burn in time, said abt 150 hrs and after letting them go overnight there is def an audible difference, not crazy but it'll get there

and surprisingly they dont sound bad tubed

[west hornet]

How you like

[brisk parcel]

oh

me like a lot

[west hornet]

Nice i was thinking about getting maybe one day

[brisk parcel]

yeh im excited for their final sound

got drop pandas coming wed the 2nd too

found em open box on ebay for $260

gonna be great for vaycay esp the 12 hr car ride lmao

[tight pulsar]

what tube/ss amps you have again?

[west hornet]

yikes long car

[brisk parcel]

@tight pulsar got an LDmk2 with stock power tubes and mullard M8161 driver tubes, I have a scarlett solo 2nd gen for my guitar which also doubles as a dac/amp combo, so does my sound blasterx G6 from creative

those last 2 are SS but I want a proper SS amp too

powering the tube with a schiit modi 3

well, DACing rather lmao

[brisk parcel]

damn

sour just hits different on these things

tell me sour is a bad album and will VERY MUCH disagree with you

[craggy crag]

SteelSeries Arctis 5 (2019) vs CoolerMaster MH650 vs Logitech G PRO X vs Corsair HS60 PRO ( Assuming all of them cost roughly the same, except the HS60 Pro which costs a bit less )

[sly warren]

None

Koss UR40 + ModMic Uni

It'll kick the butt of all of those headsets.

If you are in the UK, your major alternative would be... Creative Aurvana Live SE's

[steep pelican]

Isn’t G Pro X a mouse

[sly warren]

No

G Pro X is a headset

[steep pelican]

Huh

[sly warren]

The mouse is called the G Pro

Or G Pro Wireless

[steep pelican]

Branding 100

[sly warren]

Or G Pro Wireless X Superlight

But, I know those are all headsets because he said Steelseries Arctis 5, and Corsair HD60 Pro

And MH650 technically stands for "Master Headphone 650"

[steep pelican]

I would not trust cooler master peripherals lol

[sly warren]

They used to make some pretty killer keyboards NGL

[steep pelican]

Even their pc hardware is janky

[sly warren]

And most of their headsets are re-badged Takstars

Their Mice are pretty good too

But, I will never recommend someone purchase a Gaming Headset ever.

Unless you only play on Console, and then at that point audio quality goes out the window anyway so just buy whatever's cheapest.

[steep pelican]

I need a new mic but I also don’t want to spend money on one.

[sly warren]

Samson Go mic is dirt cheap and sounds great.

[steep pelican]

I have some fifine usb mic that for some reason is so quiet

Like nobody can hear me

[sly warren]

It's also super tiny (The Samson Go)

[steep pelican]

How much is mod mic

[sly warren]

A Modmic Uni (3.5mm jack) is... 59.95? I think

[gloomy berry]

Ya

[sly warren]

Oh 49.95

[gloomy berry]

I have a ModMic

Works great

[sly warren]

The USB one is 79.95

And the Wireless one is... I think 129.95?

Oh, 119.95

[steep pelican]

My dad has a bunch of recording mics but I don’t think he would let me use any of them. Also I don’t have a amp and they are all xlr

😦

[sly warren]

The Samson Go is 39.99 and I can't confirm it sounds better than a ModMic, but it's certainly a good little mic.

[steep pelican]

My dad, even though he loves his audio stuff isn’t an audiophile somehow

Maybe he should be…. 🤔

He mixes everything on his dual Yamaha h8 studio monitors

[craggy crag]

Hmmm I'll check it out, thanks

[steep pelican]

@rigid valve do i go all out and make sky blue and dust proof blue frankenswitch, or do i just buy box whites lol

[tight pulsar]

bruh i sold this dude my crp tulip r3 set for 190 and i just saw him try to sell it for 200

is he trying to flip it because he'll probably lose money on shipping lol

[steep pelican]

https://www.etsy.com/listing/1024066817/tangerin-switches?ref=shop_home_recs_6&crt=1&variation0=2021735864&variation1=2044195299 rip marked up tangies on etsy

and kiwis

[sly warren]

Handmade my ass

[timber ridge]

kinda want tulip but feel like i wont be able to get use to the non standard layout

[tight pulsar]

it's not that hard

[timber ridge]

think ill jus cop crp next drop

i already have some kits i wanna pick up

[tight pulsar]

r4 is ending today if u want to grab anything

[timber ridge]

yea, im really tempted

but there is like 1-2 epbt sets i want that is coming up

[steep pelican]

How long is ship time on epbt sets?

[calm cobalt]

Bet

[gleaming pond]

looks like candy like always

all the fruit switches look like candy

[calm cobalt]

Lool

go ahead

Thx

I'll look in a bit

[gleaming pond]

no

keke

even if he is already in the corsair ecosystem I'd recommend looking elsewhere for mice

yea I'd recommend he goes with one of those options above

[timber ridge]

depends if its in stock or not

[timber ridge]

do you know your grip type and hand size, i can recommend a few mice

[calm cobalt]

palm and towards the larger side

[timber ridge]

looking for wired or wireless?

[sly warren]

Get your exact size and you can plug it into rocket jump Ninja's mouse picker.

And that will get you either A. Nothing because your hand is weirdly sized or B. A lot of options.

[calm cobalt]

either works

[timber ridge]

vaxee has a lot of nice options for palm and wired, ninjutso origin and kone pro air are some nice wireless option

steelseries released a new ergo mouse but there isnt too many reviews on it since its new

[sly warren]

There's also the Deathadder V2

[timber ridge]

its on sale rn actually iirc

the wireless one is like 90 rn

[sly warren]

I may start using it for playing League.

Doing right clicks a lot with the Orochi V2 is kinda painful for some reason.

[steep pelican]

meant like epbt group buys, just wondering if ship time is around 44 weeks like gmk

[timber ridge]

about the same

[calm cobalt]

Is The Ducky one 2 Mini a Good keyboard

[rigid valve]

It’s overpriced

Technically yes it is “good”

But you can prob get better stuff

If u need silents then ig go for it

But still you can probably just buy a gk61 hotswap and silent switches

[wanton burrow]

heh not worth

just choose ovr what i suggested to u tbh

it's all around a hundred dollas

[graceful jetty]

Oh hey I was just about to ask about this keyboard. I got mine used for like 70€, pretty happy with it.

HOWEVER, the keys are laid out in baguette formation (I bought it in France so it is expected).
This means AZERTY, you have to Shift for numbers, and all the important programming keys are hidden behind Ctrl+Alt+Something. 🤢

I can touch type so I tried switching it to ISO QWERTY in software, but I'm not used to the 60% layout and my laptop kb has a spanish layout so it messes with my muscle memory.

So I'd like to swap my keycaps. However, I really like the look, so I'd want to ideally buy an official QWERTY ISO (big enter key) keycap sett. However, I haven't been able to find one being sold anywhere online. I emailed Ducky support and they were not helpful at all.

[wanton burrow]

what keyboard

[sly warren]

I am super confused as to how you have a Spanish layout for your Laptop Keyboard, but a French layout for your new Keyboard... What country do you live in?!?

[wanton burrow]

buying it in different countries perhaps

[tight pulsar]

is this the layout you want?

[daring zenith]

They moved from US to France a while back iirc

[sly warren]

That must be one helluva culture shock

[daring zenith]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[graceful jetty]

That's the spanish layout. I'm not sure whether I want that or the english one. 🤔

I type French sometimes so accent marks are helpful, but I don't need the Ñ key. Could just remap that one since every key is a macro on this keyboard.

But I mainly use this rig for programming and some gaming, so easy backslash and curly braces access would be nice(r?).

[graceful jetty]

Ducky One2 Mini White Edition

[wanton burrow]

ah

[graceful jetty]

Y E S.
I actually grew up in Spain (where my parents got a laptop from work), then moved to the US for six years, and just this year moved to France. I've been through a lot of different cultures and languages.

👀

[wanton burrow]

oh so any keycaps that's prob not oem neither cherry profile

[graceful jetty]

I think someone said Ducky's have the OEM profile.

I'd like to buy official Ducky ones if possible, since I really like the legends and the Fn+key binds are helpful.

[wanton burrow]

yea many prebuilts do use oem profile

[wanton burrow]

ah yea maybe u can do so if they're not that expensive

[graceful jetty]

(yes, the baguette layout has a :/ key. It's amazing.

[graceful jetty]

I can't find a set on sale anywhere.

Ducky has been outstandingly unhelpful in helping me buy the keycaps set. Never buying a keyboard from them again haha.

They claim to sell a product on their official website, but they can't help me buy it.

[daring zenith]

Well, official ones always harder to find

[graceful jetty]

Here's the listings that seemingly don't actually exist:
https://www.duckychannel.com.tw/en/Ducky-PBT-Double-shot-White-backlit-keycap
https://www.duckychannel.com.tw/en/Ducky-PBT-White-Pudding-keycap

[wanton burrow]

[graceful jetty]

Any chance I could purchase these keycaps?

[graceful jetty]

Would it work if I buy an ANSI QWERTY set and just use the fat enter key from my current french set?

[tight pulsar]

you would need to keep the enter, pipe key, and left shift+key to the right of it

[graceful jetty]

oh that's fine then, sweet

[graceful jetty]

So now I just need to find a way to give money to Ducky so they sell me the US keyset that they claim they sell but doesn't exist.

noice

I found this, but I have no idea if I can buy it from france, it doesn't have the legends on the sides, and it's not 60% https://www.meckeys.com/shop/accessories/keyboard-accessories/keycaps/ducky-white-backlight-keycap/

maybe I should just sell my keyboard and buy a new one.

since buying keycaps is literally impossible

[steep pelican]

Size on keycaps sets doesn’t matter you can just not use the extra keycaps

[graceful jetty]

ah nice. But that does mean I would forego the Fn key legends, which are really helpful.

[graceful jetty]

you can see them here

[steep pelican]

Hm so you have AZERTY, but you want QWERTY ISO.

[graceful jetty]

yes

[steep pelican]

Well just changing keycap sets wouldn’t change the binds for the keys

So the macros would still be the same

[graceful jetty]

It defaults to a US keyboard lol

I had to change it to 🥖 in the Linux setup

[steep pelican]

Oh ok

[graceful jetty]

But I'm considering selling this one and buying a TKL QWERTY one instead.

[steep pelican]

If it has all the legends you want

I would sell and buy new one

But if you find keycap set with the side legends I would just buy those and swap em

[graceful jetty]

ye

[steep pelican]

I’m not entirely sure how many keycap sets have those special side legends considering most keycap sets aren’t specifically made for 60% keebs with multiple function layers

[graceful jetty]

Any TKL keyboard you'd recommend? The Ducky ones seem overpriced to me at 169€ (nice) here in baguette land.
I like the s h i n y backlights and the per-key macro. Using cherry speed silver switches but I can adapt.

[steep pelican]

What do you use for the macros?

Is it just ducky software of some sort?

[graceful jetty]

They're "hardware macros"

[steep pelican]

Oh

Let me get on my pc to look something up

Cause 169 euros is a hefty price

[graceful jetty]

You press a special key combo to record it to the on-kb memory, and then it works anywhere. I've macroed the arrow keys that way and it works on any OS.

[graceful jetty]

It's 169€, which is 145£

[steep pelican]

I don’t know pounds lol

[graceful jetty]

It's $206

[steep pelican]

206 dollars oh my

[graceful jetty]

y e a h

*laughs in no-income student*

[steep pelican]

My new custom keeb cost 210 dollars and the board was 130 by itself

[graceful jetty]

O W

I paid 70€ for my current keyboard locally, and that was already pushing the budget.

I have a full-size G.Skill keyboard that I used before this one, but its Cherry Brown switches are way too loud.

(also it's too big to fit on my desk, at least with my current setup.

[steep pelican]

Ahh Cherry brown, the crunchiest linear

[graceful jetty]

I have only experienced browns and speed silvers, so no idea about other switches

[steep pelican]

Hmm

[graceful jetty]

Just need it to not feel like garbage (and preferably feel good?) while not being mega loud

[steep pelican]

I’m not too familiar with pre built keyboards

[graceful jetty]

Can I build my own on a budget?

[steep pelican]

Yes, though I don’t know how many budget boards there are with decent macro support

My board I know supports Via a software that does really nice macro layer stuff

[graceful jetty]

Can I make my own firmware? I do a lot of programming, could be a fun project.

[graceful jetty]

Nice. I'd want hardware macro support tho because I swap operating systems often.

[steep pelican]

I want to help but I can’t use my computer rn

And have limited knowledge of prebuilt

[graceful jetty]

I can wait, thanks a lot!

[graceful jetty]

Is this a possibility btw?

[steep pelican]

I do not know much about programming and how keyboard firmware works, but I assume some one has done it. It probably works better with certain keyboards I would have to guess

Maybe someone has made YouTube video on it

[graceful jetty]

hmm.. sounds a bit scary actually. I'll wait in case someone else can recommend a prebuilt ^^

[steep pelican]

I’m building my keyboard rn actually

Lubing is a tedious process

[graceful jetty]

this one?

[steep pelican]

Yep

[graceful jetty]

oof. sounds very involved

[west hornet]

（╹◡╹）

[graceful jetty]

But congrats on actually doing it, sounds awesome

hi Ghosty

[steep pelican]

How are the arias

[west hornet]

Very nice i like the shape of them more and they sound pretty good. Will be my new travel iems

[steep pelican]

Nice

[steep pelican]

40 switches down, 27 to go

@tight pulsar @west hornet amazon is shipping me replacement sundaras

seems those earpads are actually messed up

so the replacement comes on wed.

I contacted hifiman to get new pads as well lmao so like

if I can, ya know

keep em both 😉

[tight pulsar]

👀 i may be interested in getting some later

[brisk parcel]

no, now

do it now

[graceful jetty]

lol

[tight pulsar]

no i’m poor now

[calm cobalt]

i wrote this on the walmart ipad lol

[steep pelican]

Eww gross cherry mx reds are bad

[calm cobalt]

that’s the joke

[steep pelican]

I see

[calm cobalt]

i can’t lie membrane keyboards actually don’t sound bad

[steep pelican]

Some

I tried to tell friend to get keychron but he said he wants cherry because they make you better at gaming

😐

[calm cobalt]

okay i don’t know that much about keyboards but that’s so stupid

peripherals aren’t gonna make u better 😆

is he a rgb = fps kid

[steep pelican]

Cherry switches are not good quality

[steep pelican]

Idk I’ve never seen their setup

I really want to buy gmk set now

But group buys

But gmk lavender looking so nice

Are they clicky

Or just loud

Idk I’ve never looked at hyperx reds but they might just be rebranded outemu or gateron reds

I’d avoid gaming keyboards in general

Keychron c2 hotswap rgb is like 65

And much better build quality prob

Rip

Almost done with new keeb and maybe will buy some more switches

I like linears but I have never tried tactile so I’m going to

Probably speed silver copy

Blues and greens are clickies and have a different feel and mechnaism

All depends on materials used

And board

Could be a red copy

45g actuation actually sounds like a red

But the travel distance is so short

Reds have like 4 mm

Keebs

Might buy 3rd keeb

In a min

No they are very different

You can’t have a cross

[daring zenith]

uh

[steep pelican]

It could be so loud because the bottom out happens very fast and the spring is really light

[daring zenith]

you can't just have something in-between flat and bump
if there's a bump, it's not flat any more :P

literally a bump for tactiles:

anyways

[steep pelican]

Hmm do I go boba u4t, wait for kiwi restock, or do I save money and get t1s

[daring zenith]

hm

[steep pelican]

or spend 1 dollar a switch on cherry mx browns

[daring zenith]

I thought t1 was cheaper than u4t?

[steep pelican]

Yea I said that

[daring zenith]

makes it sound like you could get boba u4t, but need to save up money to get t1 lol

[steep pelican]

Meant save some money by getting t1s

[daring zenith]

aight

t1 is neat either way

[steep pelican]

True

[steep pelican]

Did you lube t1s?

[daring zenith]

I did lube them a bit, a bit better, but stock was also nice

(I lubed like 15 T1s, left rest stock because I was lazy and ran out of time)

[steep pelican]

Hmm might keep stock since I don’t feel like buying tribosys rn

[daring zenith]

I used 205g0

[steep pelican]

Oh

[daring zenith]

for everything

spring too

[steep pelican]

Well Idk if I feel like lubing everything since I haven’t even finished lubing my gat yellows

40/67 done

[daring zenith]

yea I kinda broke some switches by lubing so uh

yeaaaa

[steep pelican]

I broke a top housing

[daring zenith]

lesson learnt was don't jam the copper leaf in when lubing it

[steep pelican]

But that’s about it

[daring zenith]

because the switch doesn't look like it's broken

it just doesn't work any more

[steep pelican]

Switch films are my enemy

They never want to go on easy

[daring zenith]

lol

I'm just not going to film

too annoying

[steep pelican]

Good, I play esports titles only

I need new cpu for video editing but I also don’t want to buy one

Cause monies

[glad yarrow]

what test

[steep pelican]

User benchmark

Hmm nice

[glad yarrow]

you have an 8690M?

Just because it prforms worse than a 3080 doesnt mean it suddenly bad...

If you dont need extra performance you dont need a new pc.

[timber ridge]

ktt roses finally restocked if anyone is interested

[rigid valve]

Poggers

[steep pelican]

Isn’t that the budget linear?

[timber ridge]

yup
