very interesting

also very seizure inducing

[daring zenith]

very seizure inducing, and eye hurting

[brisk parcel]

looking at more amps and stuff

@sly warren you recommended the asgard over the magnius and they're both $200, what's the difference?

seems the asgard is a dac/amp combo

[sly warren]

The Asgard is more for Unbalanced setups

The Modius is for Balanced setups

Whoops, Magnius

Magnius and Modius is for Balanced

[brisk parcel]

I already have a modi so wouldn't buying the asgard make it basically pointless?

[sly warren]

No

The Asgard is an Amp only, OR a DAC and Amp

[brisk parcel]

hmm okay

just curious, thanks

[sly warren]

The amp in the Asgard 3 is more stout than the Magni

And it's a little less noisy in terms of well, line noise.

[brisk parcel]

magni or magnius?

really just trying to decide what I want around $200 lmao

still might get the A50s, just looking at my options

I don't want something crazy neutral like the 789, I like my warmth I feel from the tubes

[timber ridge]

wouldnt get a magnius unless youre going for a full balance setup imo

[brisk parcel]

when I said that I meant like are you talking about the magi or magnius sorry lmao

tbh just looking through stuff atm lmao not even buying yet

just looking through

[calm cobalt]

gi

hi

so

im gunna get k61

i have 2 switch choices

red or blue

but im ginna buy cs roses

when i get pc

but i wanna try blue switches

so idk

[sly warren]

Ye, Magnius

[sly warren]

Exactly my thoughts

And, if you want a full balanced setup, then just get a D30 Pro + A30 Pro and have both Balanced AND Unbalanced

It's cheaper than a Jotunheim + Bifrost

And Topping has the nice benefit of using standard PC Power Jacks for the Power Supply

👌

While the low-end Schiit stuff just uses a DC Barrel Jack

👎

[brisk parcel]

hmm okay

probs gonna snag the asgard then, tbh

not gonna be for a while though probs

not sure yet, then I need to think about what's NEXT after sundaras because the bar just keeps being set higher lmao

Seems like the issues that plagued our team persisted even after NiKo and myself left, can't say I'm surprised but I'm sure this will benefit FaZe in the long term. https://t.co/qqDar4EJ5v

[sharp kindle]

[steep pelican]

leyo is gone somewhere

[sharp kindle]

[tacit wing]

[tacit wing]

all leyo ever does is tell everyone get a keychron

[sharp kindle]

bruh i remember you stanning the viper mini before it became popular 😤

[crisp hollow]

any headphones with mic recommendations.

[sharp kindle]

i mean you arent wrong

[sharp kindle]

@tacit wing time for you to shine lul

[steep pelican]

get some decent headphones and just put a modmic on it

[tacit wing]

im not the guy for gaming headset recommendations

thats normie stuff

[crisp hollow]

i am not looking for gaming headphones

[sharp kindle]

pog

[crisp hollow]

I just need headphone that has a mic, not only for gaming

[tacit wing]

any particular reason why not a dedicated desktop mic?

[crisp hollow]

becasue I am not streaming

[tacit wing]

soooo dedicated desktop mics are only for streamers?

[crisp hollow]

idk

[tacit wing]

i dont get the logic here

[tacit wing]

i stanned the Viper Mini because im a finger tipper 🤣

and at the time it was the only mouse in that price point that had stock virgin feet and a paracord

been out of the mouse game lately tho so idk anything now

[west hornet]

[tacit wing]

speaking of anime im currently reading TPN manga

cuz i heard nothing but bad things about season 2

[little crater]

yeah s2 mega spoils the plot

in a bad way

[tacit wing]

yall talk about spoilers in the anime channel?

[little crater]

yeah but with || ||

[steep pelican]

Time to save up mining money to buy q1

[timber ridge]

[tacit wing]

[timber ridge]

jus vibing, finished my semester like a week ago so i got nothing to do

hbu

[tacit wing]

just been working the block

gaming

u know the drill

damn what happened to lili

[timber ridge]

she got the hammer

[tacit wing]

for what

am i the only one who managed to get unbanned?

...the power i have..

[timber ridge]

i think she was promoting her company or something like that

[tacit wing]

storage in high demand like that? lmao

crazy how a techie got beaned tho, could never imagine that

[timber ridge]

ya

she got the insta hammer

[tacit wing]

channel seems more dead now compared to when i left

[timber ridge]

def dead

[tacit wing]

damn Leyo's gone too

most of the OG's gone

[timber ridge]

he is?

bruh, mans transferred to the glorious server

[tacit wing]

lmao

he despises Glorious tho?

aint cholax in there too LMAO

[timber ridge]

yea but he barely types in there

[tacit wing]

Leo in Glorious server dont make sense

[timber ridge]

he hated nzxt server

[tacit wing]

me too lmao

even though they sent me a lanyard

ive just been hanging around in audio servers

[timber ridge]

idk about audio enough to chill in audio servers

[tacit wing]

learning from a community, engaging in discussion >>> YouTube reviewers

[wanton burrow]

henlo

[tacit wing]

whats up

[timber ridge]

my knowledge peaks at midfi

never looked into hifi bc i didnt see myself buying hifi gear

[tacit wing]

i told myself this half a year ago

[timber ridge]

dont think ill be touching hifi

[tacit wing]

hifi/endgame is a state of mind tbh

KSC75 can be someone's summit-fi

value in audio doesnt dictate how much you spend

or actually how much you spend doesnt dictate your value in audio, got that the other way around lmao

so like your setup right now can be hifi if youre really happy with it

[timber ridge]

ic

i always thought it was something to do with price

but teaks and a few iems seem p tempting to me rn

[tacit wing]

Teaks are slam approved

the treble was too hot for me doe

look up used tr-x00 or denon d2k as an alternative if u wanna save a bit of cash

[timber ridge]

honestly see myself getting new iems b4 a pair of cans

[tacit wing]

still got the oh10's?

[timber ridge]

yup

[tacit wing]

Sundaras?

Nick got on the Sundara train too

[brisk parcel]

Indeed

Don’t regret it at all

Dino over here making wanna say “screw it and do it” again and buy the rebelamp

While the Asgard may have warmy goodness the sundaras were built around resolving and detail open-ness

[sly warren]

I think I'm going to skip straight past Sundaras and get Anandas when I can.

[gleaming matrix]

what would be a good 3-pin fan hub I have case fans that only got 3 pins and they're loud asf

[daring zenith]

na-fc1 if you want to control them

[fast veldt]

okay so

since im getting a new keyboard and moving away from a Steelseries M750 TKL

what company should i go for and what keyboard do you guys recommend me

[neon quartz]

Vent#6036 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[fast veldt]

make sure it isnt like

too too expensive

in the 100-200 range

[steep pelican]

For non custom keyboard, probably a keychron then put in a jwk linear, for custom, probably kbd67 lite (when it comes in stock) or you can try for portico extras on Friday with gateron ks3 yellows and some cheaper keycap set

Custom will be right around 200 mark tho

[fast veldt]

oof, right

then again changing the pace w/ doing a custom keyboard

that sounds really fun to make a custom keyboard

[steep pelican]

It’s interesting

I think it’s fun, since you have to find all the stuff, and they usually have qmk support which is nice

[fast veldt]

ic ic

i might go for a corsair/asus/steelseries keyboard if non custom; keychron seems great

if its for custom, ill go for your recommendation fo sure

[steep pelican]

Keychron will have significantly better build quality than a gaming keyboard. Also you can get a hotswap board which means you can put in better switches.

[daring zenith]

keychron ftw

[steep pelican]

Many gaming keyboards now a days also have proprietary optical switches which you can’t even use other keycap sets on

[fast veldt]

ooh yeah you're right

[daring zenith]

You could try tactiles too

not just linears

[steep pelican]

If you don’t care about Bluetooth I would get a hotswap c1 on Amazon and for linear switches maybe durock L series for a starter experience and for tactiles probably t1

[daring zenith]

mhm, there's also the akko cs switches that are cheap for just testing out linear/tactile if you want

[steep pelican]

Yeah that too

My ocean blues coming tomorrow

Mmm

[daring zenith]

nice

[fast veldt]

sick

[daring zenith]

it's great that it's like .3$ a switch

[steep pelican]

If I like tactiles but need a heavier switch I’ll return em and buy t1s

[daring zenith]

mmm, t1s great

[steep pelican]

And polias to make holy t1s

[daring zenith]

you're making WHAT now

[steep pelican]

Lance is making holy t1s

[daring zenith]

uh

[steep pelican]

Halo true stem (polia is basically halo clone) and a t1 housing

So instead of panda housing

T1 housing

[daring zenith]

huh

[steep pelican]

Polia are on clearance too

Half off or something

[daring zenith]

I can do dumb things like replace t1 stem with gat brown stem, but that's about the only thing I can do xD

[steep pelican]

Mmm

Can replace panda stem with cherry mx brown stem to make dirty pandas

[daring zenith]

The unholy switch

[steep pelican]

Cursed

How to lose most of the tactility

[daring zenith]

anyways, surprising to feel such a difference just from a slightly different looking stem

[rigid valve]

Is anyone here able to try pumpkins for me
MX/Hyoerglide brown stem and tangie housing

[tacit wing]

its not going to scale as high as you think, Sundaras are fine off a Magni or Asgard

[rigid valve]

how much would i have to spend for a significant upgrade over K371s
closed-back only

[tacit wing]

when you get 6x0's then you can start source memeing

[tacit wing]

800 dollars

[rigid valve]

well then

i guess imma go grab me some K371s

[tacit wing]

Aurorus Australis. Pretty much closed back endgame.

[rigid valve]

thats 800 usd/cad right
not like some weird poor country money

[tacit wing]

if you want slam, get Teaks

or Denon D2K or used TR-x00

for around half a grand but the Denon is the cheapest here

[rigid valve]

. .

K371s def the most reasonable option for me

thanks you dino

also welcome back

[tacit wing]

theres huge gaps in prices between options in audio unfortunately

[rigid valve]

yep

[tacit wing]

glad to be back

[rigid valve]

i wonder if the K371 deal on amazon is still goin

it was like $120

[gloomy berry]

If you like Bass the K371's don't deliver

They're really neutral

But sound really good as well

I have them with my Zen Dac and IMO they're great but might not be for everyone.

[rigid valve]

hm

what get then

[tacit wing]

Creative Aurvana Live if you like bass

it has the extension and a touch of slam

[rigid valve]

so thats wehere i run into problemn

[lapis sparrow]

Need a mouse pad. Do you know any cheap one?

[brisk parcel]

@tacit wing true true, I just want it ya know 😭

[rigid valve]

i need detatch cable for modmic

[brisk parcel]

Didn’t know the sundaras don’t scale very well, oh well 🥺

[rigid valve]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RAnmZxDNduaGV8kB-GCvZ0MO6d9-0j9jmrU2f8dp0Ww/edit#gid=0

[brisk parcel]

But they’re still not bad at all so I won’t complain either

[tacit wing]

take that as a good thing so you dont have to spend $$$ on sources

[brisk parcel]

True

[tacit wing]

the thing is, a RebelAmp purchase will be more warranted if you get something that scales to the moon like 6x0's or slam cannons like Australis

[brisk parcel]

But I do want to get the most resolution I can out of them, I don’t mind sacrificing some warmth for a lot more detail, but will the rebel give me that much more with the sundaras? Since they don’t scale, but I know warmth can take away some of that detail and resolution

I know the sundies themselves are naturally a little warm so maybe something like a topping a50s or the element 2 might be a better choice for around $200?

Something with more detail than an Asgard for the price might be a better option for me

[tacit wing]

stick with the Asgard

[brisk parcel]

Only thing I don’t want for being too neutral is the 789

And alright, I’ll take your word on that 🤣 mr. “I got a rebelamp” 🤣

I do appreciate it, just don’t wanna make a stupid decision, still lots to learn but I do know a lot more too 😁

[tacit wing]

Asgard punches above its price point dont get its twisted

it sounds better than a 500 dollar Gilmore Lite

[tight pulsar]

@brisk parcelif u get asgard tell me how they are with sundaras

[steep pelican]

some day im going to have a large enough collection to do so 😦

[lapis sparrow]

Is Gigantus v2 a good mouse pad ?

[sly warren]

Just follow the mousepad thing

The spreadsheet

[rigid valve]

gigantus v2 is solid imo
personally id not get it because i hate mousepads with coating

[sturdy sinew]

is there anything that beats the at2020/at2035 for the price?

[tacit wing]

bro u still havent got a mic yet?

its been more than half a year LMAO

[sturdy sinew]

well

I got the rode procaster

a while ago

and didn't like it

at all

so I refunded it

[tacit wing]

how are you driving it

[sturdy sinew]

I need a inline preamp

I was just running a focusrite 2i2 3rd gen solo

but I didn't wanna drop another 100 bucks so I refunded it

[tacit wing]

procaster needs a cloudlifter

and proximity effect

[sturdy sinew]

yup

[tacit wing]

typically if you were down to invest in a Procaster youd take the extra mile to make it sound right

[sturdy sinew]

yup

I've seen people that have ran it without a inline preamp and I was curious to see if I could do the same

and I couldn't

[sly warren]

Just get a Q2U and be done

Q2U doesn't need a Cloudlifter

[sturdy sinew]

would that sound better then the blue yeti?

[rigid valve]

ive heard that yetis have background noise problems

[sturdy sinew]

idk I've had a blue yeti for a couple of years

just been wanting a upgrade

[west hornet]

Ye id say a neat worker or king bee beats the price

[sturdy sinew]

huh

[sturdy sinew]

I am looking at reviews of it and the neat king bee isn't in stock is the neat worker bee just as good or a little worse?

[west hornet]

They are pretty close imo

[sturdy sinew]

alright I'm just using it for spoken word so it is a pretty good choice?

[livid sorrel]

mic no work

do i need to install drivers

[glad yarrow]

Yeah so you can hear yourself through the mic

but others cant hear you

[west hornet]

Are you on a windows pc? Is this usb or 3.5mm? 1 or 2 plugs?

[livid sorrel]

i can hear gameplay and what not, but on games and discord it says im not speaking

[livid sorrel]

arctis 1 steelseries

[glad yarrow]

[livid sorrel]

[livid sorrel]

[livid sorrel]

[livid sorrel]

dumbest in=nventiuo ever

[glad yarrow]

your friends

[livid sorrel]

dumbes

[rigid valve]

????

[livid sorrel]

im sending a picture

[glad yarrow]

[livid sorrel]

im pretty sure you guys cant picture this contraption

one sec

ur telling me this isn’t how the headset works

odd

[glad yarrow]

[rigid valve]

^

brb

[livid sorrel]

so your telling me my mic is going to be sagging on my headset

[rigid valve]

no

no

[livid sorrel]

bc of a cord

[glad yarrow]

lemme make a video so you can (hopefully) understand

[livid sorrel]

i’ve seen 10000000 headsets just like mine

and they work

this is kinda dumb

maybe headsets r useless lmfao

[rigid valve]

i don't think you hold a basic understanding of how some headsets work

[livid sorrel]

i’m pretty sure i do

[rigid valve]

..but you don't know what a y-splitter is

[livid sorrel]

dude

on the box

it literally shows it plugged into the headset

[rigid valve]

send

[livid sorrel]

loading

[rigid valve]

that's how it works

the y-splitter is down by the 2 jacks

[livid sorrel]

bruh

one seconmd lemme look

[livid sorrel]

ur saying i 100% need a y splitter

[glad yarrow]

look at the video

[rigid valve]

[rigid valve]

you got a hawt voice

[glad yarrow]

Yeah I have a permanent just woke up voice lol

[livid sorrel]

hmmm

this wouldve been nice to know when i literally asked "anything else i need with the headset" before i bought the headset

brb

[glad yarrow]

well they include it with the headset

so u dont need to buy it sperate

[rigid valve]

you sound vaguely like paul from mitten squad

except his voice is super nasal

[glad yarrow]

Gotta google this brb

[livid sorrel]

[rigid valve]

doubt

[rigid valve]

search up his 1M sub face reveal

[glad yarrow]

i do sound like that a little bit

[livid sorrel]

lmao

[glad yarrow]

the little poop started playing csgo

[rigid valve]

lmao

[glad yarrow]

Thats instant block for being very rude

[tacit wing]

most kids these days have the attention span of a housefly

he prolly forgot this conversation already

[rigid valve]

hes gonna come back in 2 hours "my headset dont work"

[glad yarrow]

nah man people take the fact that we here to help for granted

they take it like our only purpose is to help em

[timber ridge]

glx2200

[steep pelican]

At the moment these are the only switches I think I have a good chance of buying

Also maybe nk creams

For creamsicles

[rigid valve]

also consider durock L and durock POM

[rigid valve]

if you're able to buy just the stems in bulk somehow then maybe do that

cream housings are trash

[timber ridge]

id remove every switch from tkc

[brisk parcel]

So I got the drop pandas

And they were in open box condition for sure but

There’s an RMA # on the box

I wanna know what they were RMA’d for

[neon quartz]

Lone_Ninja#0069 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[brisk parcel]

Or is it normal to have labels for that on the box? Probs not lmao

But they sound fine

[timber ridge]

pandas seem p cool but im not a fan of wearing headphones in public

waiting on new anc earbuds

[tacit wing]

me neither

im spoiled by my home setup

[steep pelican]

im proabbly not going to get banana split, but theres many cool frankenswitches with tangerines

probably wont get kiwis either

since those are both really hard to get

[brisk parcel]

welp I sent the seller a messag

message*

we'll see what they say

tbh it's probs nothing but still makes me worry lmao

[steep pelican]

rip maybe i need to choose a couple i really want lol

[rigid valve]

Get Alpacas, Bobas, maybe Tangies for the clout, and Box Jades/Navies
That will gib you a pretty decent idea of what each switch category is like

[steep pelican]

sounds good thanks

ill plan on that

alpacas restocked today but i checked like an hour after i got email and were already out of stock

[timber ridge]

id keep lavs in the bunch bc its op

[steep pelican]

yeah lavs seem cool

editing videos rn

tired

[rigid valve]

Lol

[tight pulsar]

get some of the newer linears, most of those are pretty similar lol

ktt, ttc, tescee, etc

[rigid valve]

tescee lookin promising

[steep pelican]

Which switches did tescee make again

[cerulean bane]

Hey Im looking to get a SV7 mic but I was wondering do I need a Focusrite Scarlett Solo USB Audio Interface for it to sound better?

[rigid valve]

princes i think
diamonds

[steep pelican]

Hmm never heard of those

I’ve heard of ktt roses

[sly warren]

Can you like... link the mic you are looking at?

Because there's the Shure MV7, or the sE Electronics V7

Both wildly different mics

And, I'd honestly recommend neither.

[cerulean bane]

https://www.shure.com/en-US/products/microphones/mv7?gclsrc=aw.ds&gclid=Cj0KCQjw2NyFBhDoARIsAMtHtZ6pQK_S6yh2OjCEutaE0rqw7Ujr6ytzXRX3dIS8MYW_dWLy5p6oFysaAlNKEALw_wcB

Why neither

[sly warren]

Yeah... You don't need that mic.

Way too costly.

Just get a Samson Q2U

[cerulean bane]

Meh too late I got it

[sly warren]

🤦‍♂️

Why spend 300+ dollars on something people will literally never hear the difference.

[cerulean bane]

Do I need a audio interfaces

[sly warren]

I mean, I would buy an Interface for that.

But I also wouldn't buy a Focusrite

[cerulean bane]

What do you recommend

[sly warren]

M-Audio M-Solo will do just fine.

I daily drive a Samson Q2U and M-Solo

Excellent mic setup

For cheaper than the whole MV7

[cerulean bane]

Can you link

For me

Thx ❤️

[sly warren]

[steep pelican]

I need to ask my dad if I can use one of his mics and interfaces

I don’t feel like buying one when there’s like 9 in a closet

I would need a mic arm or something, though my desk doesn’t really have any edges to mount to….

[timber ridge]

also can do glx2200 and m solo

[wanton burrow]

cop KTTs

imagine needing lube

[steep pelican]

which ktts

[wanton burrow]

def not KTTs

[wanton burrow]

prob any ig

roses, strawberries, uh idk more

[steep pelican]

bruh literally 6

[wanton burrow]

we only have strawberries instock here kek

yea that's the problem with ktts

[steep pelican]

strawberries most expensive

[wanton burrow]

always oos but they sleeper tho

[timber ridge]

roses are the best imo

[wanton burrow]

yep

[timber ridge]

akko matchas are basically roses tho

[wanton burrow]

double the price of most of their switches but still good nonetheless

[wanton burrow]

ness how much u spent on ur keeb?

it looks nice, perhaps u want ur board to get featured for hamini's vid?

he's taking some in now

the gks in the submissions is so many

the invite link is just diskord . gg/hamajineo

[tight pulsar]

diamonds, sapphire/ruby, mint, salmon, carrot, porcelain blue, zaku, coffee chip, rem/ram, blue velvet, pretty sure anything else that used pme and r1.5 naevy/raeds iirc

[wanton burrow]

carrot

literally a tangie clone

introduces new plastic

"this is the smoothest switches in the world"

and it's the same colors as well

https://tenor.com/view/husky-derp-sneeze-wheeze-funny-gif-12677759

[timber ridge]

@tight pulsar you know if you can mix jwk and boba housings

[wise token]

uh iirc it's a hit and miss with some of the switches, best to test some because how tight gazzew's tolerances are

[timber ridge]

im planning on buying boba top housings and using my t1s bottom housing

[wise token]

if you ping me tomorrow i can test one for you

[timber ridge]

bet

[steep pelican]

thats so many lol, how to decide

[wise token]

just randomly pick one

the linears shouldn't have much change since iirc they're all very similar in specs

[timber ridge]

want me to ping this acc or ur main tomorrow

[wise token]

main one

[tacit wing]

man what happened with this channel

it used to be the 2nd most active one after general

loki need Kuzu and Cholax back for the popcorn

[timber ridge]

jus not the same anymore lol

[wise token]

half of that was just leyo insulting stuff tbh

[tacit wing]

as he should, most keebs are trash anyway

[wise token]

yeah well ur sundaras suck

[timber ridge]

leyo nitro boosting glorious server

[tacit wing]

i dont have sundaras???

[timber ridge]

wangson is a mod there too

[wise token]

well whatever u have sucks

[tacit wing]

im no planar man

not stooping that low lmao

[wise token]

ur the 6xx guy right

[tacit wing]

naw thats Kuzu

thats 2 for 2 already

[wise token]

you headphone people are confusing

[tacit wing]

well when the "headphone people" left this channel died

audio hardcore carrying this turf

[tacit wing]

this is foreal crazy to me

he was mad slandering the GMMK Pro when it was announced

now he boosting the server LMAO

[timber ridge]

the kb section of glorious is actually p cool

[tacit wing]

makes sense

its more of the community thats cool rather than the brand

[wise token]

i might join it on this acc since i'm pretty close to server limit on my other

[timber ridge]

do it lol

[subtle pewter]

Anybody know any good, affordable wireless mechanical keyboards with backlights? I really am looking for one

I found a keyboard and fell in love with it, but it doesn't have a back light and its kinda buzz kill for me if I am being honest

[wanton burrow]

Keychron keyboards

[subtle pewter]

Any other options? I do like the keycrhons. My uncle has 2 different ones. I am just not a fan of the really bad wireless connection on them

[wanton burrow]

hmm i don't really know other wireless prebuilts beside them tbh

if there's one it's not "affordable" anymore

[daring zenith]

What's the 'really bad wireless connection'? :(

@subtle pewter what's your budget?

[stray compass]

if you exclude me its alright

[timber ridge]

ur part of it dw lol

[stray compass]

usually its chill

every now and then there's a war

[sly warren]

If your budget is approaching 200 dollars, then the Iqunix A80 or L80 are available to you @subtle pewter

Probably the best Wireless Keyboard I've ever used.

[subtle pewter]

That's wayyy more than I would like to spend, but I found my keyboard I am going with anyways, thanks tho!

[sly warren]

What board?

[subtle pewter]

G910 Orion Spectrum

I ditched wireless

[sly warren]

ewwww

Just get a Keychron C1 or C2 at that point

[subtle pewter]

Why would I?

[sly warren]

Because its a VASTLY better board for WAY cheaper

[subtle pewter]

How is it "vastly" better?

[stray compass]

most of the logi boards are mad overpriced for what they are

[subtle pewter]

It's $100, I don't really see any boards that compete with that

9 macros, an encoder, 4 macro depths, a wrist rest, dedicated media keys, full RGB

[sly warren]

Let's see.... It's A. Not made by Logitech. B. It has a Hotswap function so that you can change switches to whatever you want, C. It uses standard Cherry MX Keycaps so you can change them to whatever you want and D. It isn't made by Logitech.

Logitech Keyboards are basically 1 step above garbage

[subtle pewter]

I don't know what your unreasonable dislike towards Logitech is

[sly warren]

They aren't a good keyboard maker.

They really should stick to making mice.

[subtle pewter]

I don't want to change the key switches, and I don't care about the key caps

[timber ridge]

get whatever makes you happy but most keyboards made by gamer companies are not good

youre usually paying for the logo

[sly warren]

https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-c2-wired-mechanical-keyboard?variant=39311466168409

54 USD

[subtle pewter]

I absolutely love the feel of it personally

[subtle pewter]

Not a big fan

[sly warren]

No backlight, but who really looks at the RGB on their keyboard?

[subtle pewter]

No backlight is not an option

[sly warren]

🤔

[subtle pewter]

And no media keys, or macros, or encoder

[sly warren]

There are Media Keys

[daring zenith]

Skiptrace, it is what it is, they want them keys, and they don't want to feel the nice switches

[sly warren]

It's called FN Layer

[subtle pewter]

Not dedicated ones

[sly warren]

Oh... no... You have to press ONE MORE BUTTON

[subtle pewter]

What switches am I not feeling?

[sly warren]

Actually good ones.

[daring zenith]

T1

Outemu phoenix

Drop holy panda

Glorious panda

Feker panda

Akko cs ocean blue

[sly warren]

The uhh... Logitech umm... What are they called again?

[daring zenith]

Etc

[timber ridge]

like i said, if it makes you happy get the logitech board but most of your money is being spent on the logo

[daring zenith]

Ye, if you're happy with it, and you don't want to feel the other nice switches, it's your money to spend.

[sly warren]

You are nearly paying double for a board with less useful features.

[subtle pewter]

I get that, but I still don't really see any reason as to why it's a bad board or as to why any of the other boards are better

[stray compass]

you also could go with a simple C1 and then swap keycaps and grab a QMK numpad, which would be easier to program macros on anyways

[daring zenith]

Hotswap mainly, pre-lubed stabs, and price

[timber ridge]

its bad for the price

[sly warren]

The Keycaps on the G910 are also probably really crappy

[daring zenith]

Oh and standard everything

[subtle pewter]

Acro functions, dedicated media controls, and an encoder is less function?... Gotcha

[timber ridge]

tbh, if youre a fan of the gamer aesthetic in keybaords save ur money and get a red dragon

[stray compass]

the ones on the C1 aren't great either, very thin

[daring zenith]

Standard keycaps and space bar width and such

[timber ridge]

same thing dif logo

and cheaper

[sly warren]

Yes. Because those functions are... not really useful

[subtle pewter]

Says who?

[sly warren]

You already have Media Keys on a Function Layer

[subtle pewter]

Are you me?

[sly warren]

Why do you need more direct access?

It's 2 buttons instead of 1

[daring zenith]

Oh yeah, there's that EVGA hotswap board with an encoder, lemme find it

[sly warren]

Oh the horror

[timber ridge]

wtf red dragon has a $160 kb

since when

[stray compass]

that's like saying everyone should get 60% because you can get everything you need in a layer

[sly warren]

Also the G910 is old as balls, it might get support dropped any day now.

[subtle pewter]

Regardless, I'm getting the board I want because I like the switches on it. At the end of the day it's all su jective and everybody have a preference. I like how they feel compared to the blue switches use in the keykrons

[sly warren]

Wait... you actually LIKE Logitech's weird "tactile yet not tactile" switch?

[timber ridge]

nvm it was a third party seller lol

[sly warren]

Just get Gateron Browns on a Keychron C2

[subtle pewter]

Yeah, I do

[sly warren]

It's basically the same thing

[stray compass]

fyi id still consider a numpad with QMK support if you ever need easier and more complex macro customizability

[sly warren]

Except with a standard switch

[subtle pewter]

I tried the gateron browns and gateron blues, don't like them as much as the Logitech ones

[timber ridge]

https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-K580-Mechanical-Anti-ghosting-Dedicated/dp/B07G11G2X8?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1

[daring zenith]

Annnd EVGA website is down

[sly warren]

Ok, then you need to try Durock T1's in a Keychron

[timber ridge]

macros and encoders

40 bucks cheaper

[daring zenith]

Mmm, T1s great

[stray compass]

durock t1s in a C1 is a great choice

i made a build for a friend with that and with swapping keycaps and buying all the materials needed it was still sub $200

[sly warren]

And Otemu ICE Blues or Browns

Excellent cheap switches

[daring zenith]

Akko cs ocean blue is also nice for cheaper

[timber ridge]

its basically what gamer companies offers minus the logo and in depth software support

[subtle pewter]

IDC man, I like the switches

[stray compass]

you do you ig

[sly warren]

Probably because you've never tried some of the more exotic switches that offer a better feel than Blues or Browns

[daring zenith]

Again, if you don't care about spending, or getting nicer switch options, spend your money your way.

[timber ridge]

bruh

^

[subtle pewter]

I tried cherry browns, reds, and blues. And the gateron blues and browns and I much much much prefer the Logitech switches, personally

[stray compass]

epic

[daring zenith]

Mainly because those aren't really good compared to more 'aftermarket' options

And the main thing about hotswap is options, there's something for everyone

[subtle pewter]

Idk man, I don't know of any hot swap boards I would be interested in

[daring zenith]

There's an EVGA one IF THEIR WEBSITE STOPS GOING DOWN FROM 3080TI LAUNCH

[subtle pewter]

Would be interested to lean about them, but I really do like the switches on the Logitech personally

[timber ridge]

welp, enjoy your new kb 🙂

[daring zenith]

Also pre-lubed stabs for keychron is still nice

[stray compass]

tbh the prelube ain't great

[subtle pewter]

Yeah, I will after you guys literally crapped alllll over it for no reason. Thanks!

[daring zenith]

It's better than nothing

[stray compass]

they still rattle as all hell if you don't do anything to them, but yeah its better than bone dry

[timber ridge]

we didnt crap all over it for no reason

i was actually being super nice about it

[stray compass]

with clipping, lubing, and bandiding the plate they're pretty alright though

[daring zenith]

Heh, mine was lubed decently, didn't really rattle

[timber ridge]

man is tempting me

[stray compass]

one specific person did

[daring zenith]

Also, mine was clipped iirc?

[timber ridge]

its too early for this

[stray compass]

oh interesting

i got a c1, what about you?

[daring zenith]

K8

[subtle pewter]

True, you didn't, I'll give you that

[daring zenith]

I have an image of the lube somewhere

[stray compass]

might be different on K series, would be kinda strange though

mine was kinda just oiled pretty much

like JWK fac lube but ig a bit more, it wasn't a lot

[timber ridge]

this doesnt look that bad for a red dragon ngl https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-Mechanical-Dedicated-Convenient-Detachable/dp/B07VRZ1VCN?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1

it looks exactly what the mainstream brands release lol

[subtle pewter]

When that says "blue switches" what blue switches does it mean?

[stray compass]

clickies

outemu

[timber ridge]

^

basically means its loud lmao

[stray compass]

well at least afaik all redragons are outemu

[subtle pewter]

Ok, so not cherry?

Cause I wasn't a fan

[timber ridge]

nope but cherry inst the standard

[subtle pewter]

I like the g blues

Idk what the name is

[timber ridge]

once you fall into the rabbit hole youll learn that there is plenty of other brands that are good

and cherry isnt the "best"

[daring zenith]

Well, found image at least.

[subtle pewter]

I know, I just know they are standard so I wanted to make sure cause I wasn't a fan

[stray compass]

oh interesting

thats pretty nice

[daring zenith]

Can def see the lube in there

[stray compass]

Romer Gs

yeah mine was just kinda oiled kek

[timber ridge]

did you try looking into newer logitech boards

[daring zenith]

Lol

[timber ridge]

iirc that board youre interested in released like 5 years ago

if not more

[subtle pewter]

Idk, it was just by far the best fit out of all the boards I liked af

[stray compass]

unfortunately the new ones are still just as mad pricy

[subtle pewter]

I like the romer G switches

Apparently that's a crime to some people :/

[stray compass]

people scream preference until someone likes something they dont

[timber ridge]

some people dont believe in preference

[subtle pewter]

That's just stupid lol

[daring zenith]

Don't mind skiptrace sounding offensive, that's skiptrace's normal tone

[timber ridge]

and do not know how to give consumer advice

[sly warren]

Preference is bad, Objectivity is king

👌

[stray compass]

thanks bro

[subtle pewter]

There is no objectivity in this, that's the fun part lol

[timber ridge]

in his eyes, youre basically a guy wanting to buy a 1050ti with an o11 and all ll fans

[sly warren]

There is.

[subtle pewter]

I really don't care because I didn't ask him, so

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[stray compass]

imma head out and use my GMMK Pro 80% keyboard

[sly warren]

Objectively the boards made by big companies like Logitech and Corsair are hot dumpster garbage.

[timber ridge]

yea i was jus trying to give you an idea of how he views this

[subtle pewter]

I can agree that Corsair keyboards suck. I don't like anything about them

[sly warren]

The boards they make probably cost less than 50 dollars, yet they sell them for stupidly high prices.

[timber ridge]

ggs

[subtle pewter]

Yeah, I'll solve this my own way

[daring zenith]

Also, isn't gmmk pro technically 75%?

[timber ridge]

ye

[daring zenith]

80% usually just tkl

[subtle pewter]

@daring zenith what boards would you recommend for potential hotswap or whatever it's called?

[timber ridge]

this server needs more roles

[daring zenith]

Keychron

[sly warren]

Keychron C2

[daring zenith]

Hotswap boards

[timber ridge]

roles for ppl who arent techies/mods but are knowledgeable in certain areas

[daring zenith]

We'll have to see how the new admins feel about periph tho

[subtle pewter]

Is there a link to like a keychrons website I can go to to have a look at all their boards? @daring zenith

[timber ridge]

like maybe have one for each channel or something

would be pretty cool

[sly warren]

https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-c2-wired-mechanical-keyboard?variant=39311466168409

There you go

[stray compass]

lemme show you the ss

bruh no pic perms

[sly warren]

Gotta be like level 3 or 5

[daring zenith]

3

Just dm me

[stray compass]

yeah one sec

[subtle pewter]

I personally really like the romer G switches in my keyboard, but I would be willing to try some others I guess

I just don't know where to get started

[sly warren]

Akko Ocean Blues

[subtle pewter]

@sly warren I'm not really interested in interactions with you, just a heads up

[sly warren]

https://www.amazon.com/Akko-Switches-Compatible-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B08XXD3MZ1

I mean, Mr1111 is almost assuredly going to say the exact same thing

He's either going to say Ocean Blues, or Durock T1's

[daring zenith]

Akko cs ocean blue is the cheaper starter option

[subtle pewter]

That would still my interaction with him, and not you

Which is what I prefer

[daring zenith]

T1 and one of the holy pandas would likely be the next

[subtle pewter]

Sorry if you don't think my "preference" for that is valid lol

@daring zenith ok, ok

I'm feeling something clicky, and pretty heavy

I am a pretty heavy typed

*typer

[sly warren]

Cherry MX Greens then

[daring zenith]

Do you know the actuation weight of the springs in your current keeb?

[subtle pewter]

Like a high actuation force, and then a sharp, high click

[subtle pewter]

60 I believe

I could for sure go more

[daring zenith]

Or bottom out

[sly warren]

Romer G's are NOT a high actuation force switch.

[daring zenith]

Don't think I have stats on t1 actuation force xD

I just know the main option is 67g bottom out spring

[sly warren]

Romer G Tactiles are a 50G switch with a 1.5mm actuation distance, and a full travel of 2.7mm

[daring zenith]

Huh

Seems kinda light

[sly warren]

Oh my B

They are 45G

And a 3.2mm travel

I was looking at the stats for the Thin Romer G switches

[stray compass]

45g bottom

[daring zenith]

Damn

[stray compass]

epic gamer

[sly warren]

Romer G Tactiles are NOT the switch for you

[subtle pewter]

Yeah, these are really light

[daring zenith]

Even akko cs ocean blue is like 55g bottom out

And that's fairly light

[subtle pewter]

I would say they are about 10x better than all of the others I have tested as of now

[stray compass]

get cs blues and spring swap for 150g

W

[sly warren]

If you want something heavy and tactile, I'd look at like, spring swapping Akko Ocean Blues or Durock T1's

[subtle pewter]

I'm just looking to get a keyboard without 30 hours of work please ._.

[stray compass]

do Leopolds come with MX Clears?

[sly warren]

Or, if you want something really heavy, you could get a Ducky One 2 with Cherry MX Greens

https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=3485

[subtle pewter]

I still need to find if I even like any of the keychrons

[sly warren]

Ducky makes a 👌 keyboard

[timber ridge]

you spelled varmillo wrong

[stray compass]

we like ducky now?

[sly warren]

And you at least get dedicated volume buttons

I've never heard people say anything explicitly bad about Ducky boards.

[stray compass]

overpriced for what they are

[timber ridge]

ducky one 2 mini 👍

[subtle pewter]

I want dedicated media keys, back lighting, and macros. Is that something I can do on a keychron?

[sly warren]

Dedicated Media Keys? No, you get FN Layer. Backlighting? Yes, but you may have to wait for stock. Macros? Yes? I think?

[subtle pewter]

Dedicated macro keys I should say

Discord?

Oh no

It's going down

Reeeee

Discord dead

[stray compass]

jesus

those all came in super fast lmao

[sly warren]

If you want dedicated Media stuff, then just... buy a Volume Dial with Pause/Play, Next Track, Previous Track on it

[subtle pewter]

My messages weren't sending lol

Fine, I guess I can give up the media keys, but the macros are non-negoy

*non-negotiable

[sly warren]

You can make macros with AutoHotKey

On literally any keyboard

[subtle pewter]

dedicated macro keys

[sly warren]

You're only going to find that on the crappy gamer boards

And maybe like a select few custom builds

[subtle pewter]

So then dedicated macro keys aren't an option on keychrons?

[sly warren]

You could also just buy a dedicated Macro Pad

[stray compass]

that would be a good bet imo

[subtle pewter]

Oh?

[stray compass]

especially if it has QMK

[subtle pewter]

As in?

Also, sorry, my messages are sending late for some reason

[daring zenith]

Qmk is software for remapping keys and such

Bot ate link :(

[timber ridge]

honestly, he seems like a a simple gamer, jus let him get a gamer kb

[sly warren]

https://1upkeyboards.com/shop/keyboard-kits/macro-pads/sweet-16-macro-pad-black/ Here's a Build Your Own (Yes, literally you build it yourself) 16 Key QMK Macro Pad

[stray compass]

no links from geekhack

what

[subtle pewter]

I don't game really at all ._.

[daring zenith]

It's just auto deleting any non-amazon/Newegg links

[stray compass]

assuming thats also a low level thing?

[daring zenith]

Until lvl 3

Yea

[sly warren]

Then what do you do with a 3060Ti and 7700K and 32GB of RAM?

[stray compass]

ah ok

is it considered bad if i just split up the link lmao

[subtle pewter]

Disappoint because my CPU is trash lol

I do 3D production work, photography and editorial, and music production

[sly warren]

Looks like for around 40 bucks you could build your own macro pad.

Or you could also just buy a cheap nothing keyboard and do what Taran does on LTT and use a wholeass keyboard as a Macro Pad

[timber ridge]

heres a link from the almighty hzsh https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=112895.0

[stray compass]

kek

[subtle pewter]

I was thinking of just buying a dedicated number pad to do that with

[sly warren]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Arn8ExQ2Gjg

[stray compass]

i just like the design of that one and its at a great pricepoint

[subtle pewter]

I really want a stream deck, but they are just too expensive for what they are

[sly warren]

I'd look at that video I posted

[subtle pewter]

I have seen it

[timber ridge]

bruh am i blind or is the price not listed on the ic

[stray compass]

its $40

[timber ridge]

yooo

[stray compass]

it might not be but ik its $40

[subtle pewter]

Levels up

[timber ridge]

dont tell me that

[stray compass]

barebones without oled and hotswap

[subtle pewter]

*leveled

[stray compass]

now im a regular

im already down bad in the hobby

[timber ridge]

rank revoked

[subtle pewter]

Lol

[daring zenith]

oo interesting

that board looks good

[subtle pewter]

Please do keep in mind guys that I do not have an expansive budget

[stray compass]

i really love the stacked layer design

my first gb

[timber ridge]

my guess is that ill be like 80 max with all the goodies

[west hornet]

If you are crazy then ya you can get that keeb xD I just dont see practical if someone is doesnt have ton of desk space

[daring zenith]

I mean, we're talking like 40$ for macro pad, 50$ for keyboard, 30$ for switches, not THAT much

[stray compass]

dedicated media keys is sort of rough for boards that are actually worth in general

[timber ridge]

i highkey want that macropad but have no use for it

[stray compass]

discord emotes

[subtle pewter]

That's like... The ABSOLUTE maximum I could do, and even then it is probably too high

[daring zenith]

lol

[timber ridge]

no nitro

[stray compass]

:smilew

bruh

[daring zenith]

then you can start with no new switches

[stray compass]

i dont remember what emotes are

[daring zenith]

spend 30$ later

[west hornet]

Idk about macropad but i have midi controller does that count

[subtle pewter]

So then where would I start?

[daring zenith]

say a keychron c2 with rgb and gat browns for like 60$

and the macro pad

[stray compass]

some guy in Glorious just said he wanted dots with Hirigana

i have a lot of questions

[subtle pewter]

I prefer the gat blues to the browns. I tested both

[timber ridge]

omw to glorious server rn

[daring zenith]

eh, that works too
