True

[steep pelican]

Ok seriously, what is like a decent budget Alice keeb

[rigid valve]

Budget Alice doesn’t exist

YMDK Wings
KBDFANS Mountain is coming out soon

https://p3dstore.com/collections/40-or-smaller-acrylic-cases/products/prime_e-acrylic-gasket-mount-keyboard-case

This is actually p chwap^^

[naive juniper]

no

[thick tartan]

https://kbdfans.com/collections/group-buy/products/ic-gmk-shashin

these are clean but

abs

[steep pelican]

Yeah actually, with plate foam added only 125

[rigid valve]

Yeh

[timber ridge]

its clean

contemplated it but ill jus wait til epbt does something similar for cheaper lmao

[thick tartan]

exactly

[timber ridge]

you see epbt wuyinzhuyin?

[thick tartan]

nope the epbt ones ive been looking

was pobw

and sushis

theres also another epbt on kbd but forgot the name

[rigid valve]

Cool kids?

[thick tartan]

no no

oh wait these arent epbt but very cheap

https://kbdfans.com/collections/keycaps/products/kbdfans-cherry-profile-blue-and-white-japanese-pbt-keycaps-set

[rigid valve]

I’ve heard notbad things about the kbdfans sets

[thick tartan]

i mean they look cleeeean

[rigid valve]

Facts

[steep pelican]

rip that alice requires soldering, i mean i guess never too late to learn a new skill

i would have to figure out where to get a soldering iron tho

[rigid valve]

Amazon

[steep pelican]

but that costs money

[thick tartan]

so does an alice keyboard

[steep pelican]

and i would probably not use it that often

[rigid valve]

Universities might have them to borrow/rent

Local shops

https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/oah976/i_saw_those_deskmats_the_size_of_your_keyboard/

[rigid valve]

Oh that keeb

That one is quality

[thick tartan]

i kinda wouldbe like to see the keyboard of center to the left so u can actually use it as a deskpad LOL

[steep pelican]

the usb c cable from pcb to edge of case would be like 1.5 ft XD

[wanton burrow]

so apparently sp star meteor oranges seems to be a smoother mx brown with also tighter tolerances

[gleaming matrix]

So if I don't want to buy a dac I should get the 38x?

[timber ridge]

i mean

you dont need a dac

although both headsets will benefit from it

im sure youll be satisfied from the stock experience of both headsets

[daring zenith]

g i b

tho reportedly pc38x is harder to drive than pc37x

dunno

could do meizu dong+pc37x if you want in-between in terms of price

[wanton burrow]

alexa on gb rn btw

also, 67 lite extras should come in candykeys somewhere this july

[timber ridge]

i could of gotten an alexa bc maker screwed up the phantom restock lol

[wanton burrow]

kek

[timber ridge]

got me a scarlet instead

[wanton burrow]

:wowmaji:

should have no problem on screw-ins in backpace coz of f-row right?

[timber ridge]

[bronze terrace]

hello

are wireless mice even a good deal campared to a wired mouse?

it is 119 for the g703

and like 40 for a good wired mouse

`

[ionic fractal]

I like wireless mice, I use the Logitech G Pro and love it.

[bronze terrace]

that is like 150 tho

[sly warren]

If your hand can fit it, you could get an Orochi V2.

Its like, 80 bucks

Wireless is very worth it. Not having cable drag is a godsend.

[west hornet]

Good wireless is just as good as wired

Bad wireless is bad

[lavish cosmos]

My viper ultimate arrived a few days ago got it for 80$ really like it so far

[rigid valve]

epic

[sly warren]

Even though the Orochi V2 is small, and probably a tad small for my hand, my aim with it is probably the best of any mouse I've used.

[timber ridge]

id skip the orochi unless you use ftip grip or have tiny hands

[rigid valve]

Or claw with relatively small hands

[timber ridge]

its doable but ehhh

[sly warren]

I claw mine with 18.5cm x 9.5cm hands

[queen sigil]

i have small hands

[timber ridge]

still not a good claw mouse

x1mr still best pick imo

[rigid valve]

i guess with mice its mostly what feels comfy for u

[timber ridge]

orochi is like a strctly ftip mouse

other grips are possible

keyword possible

[thick tartan]

i use all grips mostly claw fingertip and the orochi feels fine

expecially if u have small hands

[hollow flower]

My grip is as if palm and claw had a baby

[rigid valve]

A lot of people choose to use a palm-claw grip from what I’ve seen

[clear lichen]

I just got the Meze 99 Neos are bassy to you

then I guess I do not have any idea what in the world flat is

this dudes seem as flat as a windless lake

and it's not that I don't like that

I really do

but damn these are like premium flatness

[timber ridge]

who said theyre bassy?

[clear lichen]

self proclaimed "audiophiles" in the amazon reviews, people on reddit in the headphone advice sub, people here shortly before I bought them

[timber ridge]

a lot of audiophile nerds complain that everything is a bit too v shape lol

but everyone ears are dif

[clear lichen]

yeah I've found that lol

[timber ridge]

since im a basshead, usually when audiophiles say its too much, its jus enough for me lol

[clear lichen]

in the world of diminishing returns nothing is perfect

[clear lichen]

yeah that's fair lol

if I ever bought headphones like this before I would buy a pair where people said there was too much base

[timber ridge]

i hit a point where im p happy with my gear and if i were to spend more then the law of dimishing return would kick in lol

[clear lichen]

I'm very glad I didn't buy the k371s

as an option with less bass

[timber ridge]

k371 legit have a bass boost tune to them lol

[clear lichen]

yeah I'm not really gonna buy anything if it costs me more than $500 for everything

[clear lichen]

hmm odd

people were recommending those as an alternative with less bass

[timber ridge]

its basically a 361 with slightly dif material iirc and a bass boost

[clear lichen]

oh huh

Well I guess I'll have to trust you on that one

[timber ridge]

same drivers n everything, jus a dif tune and material i think

[clear lichen]

because I am not spending anymore money on headphones for a while

[timber ridge]

youre a fan of a neutral sound sig ?

[clear lichen]

Mostly neutral with a lean on bass

[rigid valve]

I mean

That’s literally K371s

[timber ridge]

i wouldnt call the k371 neutral

[rigid valve]

Not neutral in the conventional sense

[timber ridge]

i dont think in any sense theyll be neutral but "neutral" could be subjective

you must need some super v/u shape cans to think theyre neutral tho

[rigid valve]

My cans have a frequency graph that is basically just descending, so yeah K371 seem p neutral to me

[timber ridge]

id take frequency graphs with a grain of salt

especially with budget planars n stuff

[gleaming matrix]

Gotta say the pc37x are miles bett we than those cloud 2s

[steep pelican]

Yeah most semi audiophile gear would be better than gaming headset

[rigid valve]

It better be if it’s $50 more lmao

[pine cloud]

Steelseries prism caps are sick!

[rigid valve]

They just look like puddings to me

But v nice

[pine cloud]

compared to the key caps that came with my apex 7 its a noticeable improvement

[rigid valve]

I’m not surprised

[pine cloud]

a little shorter, more aggressive cup and slightly more texture. i hesitated because i thought it was mainly cosmetic... happily mistaken

[clear lichen]

I think I gotta get some keycaps like that

mine have too small of tops

I keep missing keys lol

[rigid valve]

Too small in what sense

[queen sigil]

basically every generic keycap is the same size

[rigid valve]

Yep

[queen sigil]

same profile

[rigid valve]

Same 1u size

Either OEM or Cherry

[pine cloud]

my first mechanical keyboard and i noticed a lot of mistypes also. but so far the shorter caps with more pronounced cup seem to helping

[rigid valve]

Nice

[steep pelican]

For some reason with ocean blues I used to double tab or mispress the space bar a lot idk why

I’ve never had the problem with other switches

[pine cloud]

ive noticed theres an entire segment of the pc world dedicated to just keyboards lol

[rigid valve]

Maybe cause they’re fairly light

[steep pelican]

Yes keeb is the best section tho

[rigid valve]

Yes, we do exist
Although our existence is somewhat agony

[pine cloud]

my apex 7 has cherry reds

[steep pelican]

Agony = trying to convince my parents why I should be able to buy $420 dollar kbd fans mountain

[rigid valve]

lmao

[rigid valve]

Mountain?

[timber ridge]

jus show em /mm

and tell em you can flip stuff lol

[rigid valve]

Tell them it’s an investment
In 3 years that set will be worth at least 2x

[pine cloud]

got my boy a razer huntsman and i really like his. kinda thought razer was just a branding thing.

[rigid valve]

It really is tbh

At least, with stuff that isn’t mice

[steep pelican]

The split keeb you recommended yesterday

[rigid valve]

Ohhh

Mtn ergo

[timber ridge]

only valid gaming peripherals are monitors, mousepads and mice

[rigid valve]

Truth

Headphones to a much much lesser extent

[pine cloud]

compared to my steelseries it seems on par, but they make their own switches so reliability could be in question

[steep pelican]

This is true lol, Idk what split keeb I’ll end up getting, maybe that 40% acrylic Clem posted yesterday

[rigid valve]

“Bruh screw flippers they’re the worst they suck I had to wake up at 2am for this I’m never… wait, did you say $400 aftermarket?
Well you know man it is what it is, if I’m faster then what can I say man y’know haha”

[steep pelican]

Shoobs reference

Buy gmk set as investment

[rigid valve]

Yep

[timber ridge]

i have a hard time justifying gmk sets

[tight pulsar]

buy crp

[timber ridge]

i hada hold off this time

but ima cop tulip next tie 4sure

[sharp kindle]

Mountain Alice pretty cool

[clear lichen]

the tops are like 3/4s of the size of laptop keys

and I've been using laptops all my life

so I'm used to those keyboard

I just need less sloped keys

[rigid valve]

Mmmm

XDA, ZDA, ASA, DSA profiles

[clear lichen]

or maybe I could just keep learning to type with these, I'm just used to typing sloppier

[clear lichen]

?

that might as well be a different language to me

[rigid valve]

Keycaps have “profiles” which dictates their height and how much slope/concavity they have

The profiles I listed are relatively flat and short

Def consider

ASA profile is mainly from Akko btw

[clear lichen]

alright then thank you

[rigid valve]

anytime

[clear lichen]

do you know what profile the Keychron C2 is?

[rigid valve]

I think it uses OEM

[wanton burrow]

but dss carpinteria deskmats tho

[clear lichen]

I disagree even on mice

usually "gaming" mice are just rgb infested garbage

I bought like a $20 "gaming" mouse once and it broke in like 6 months

almost everything "gaming" is bad

[timber ridge]

your mistake is buying a 20 dollar mouse

[clear lichen]

maybe

but from my perspective the word gaming is just slapped onto cheap products to make them seem better

though my experience may be very limited

[timber ridge]

gaming mice tend to have better sensors and switches and be super light

gaming monitors have better refresh rate/response time etc

gaming mousepads op

[shadow bane]

I bought a 20$ wired redragon mouse, more comfortable than any high end mouse I've tried

[timber ridge]

did you pick a "high end" mouse that suited ur grip type ?

[shadow bane]

I never saw the point of buying a high end mouse so I've only tried my friends

I think the g502 razer death adder elite and one other that I forget the name of

I think those were the names anyways

[timber ridge]

ic

spending more gets you a better switch, sensor and lighter weight in some cases

not always, but the new trend for newer mice tends to be lightweight

[daring zenith]

g pro switch is very fun

[wanton burrow]

https://www.plip.works/d1p

[sly warren]

Those aren't even high end mice. Those are like, mid-tier mice.

[pine cloud]

personally don't like the lightweight mice.

[sly warren]

Well, good luck buying a new mouse. Lightweight is king.

[timber ridge]

yea I have yet seen a new gamer mouse be "heavy"

[rigid valve]

Except maybe like

Razer Basilisk/Mamba

[sly warren]

When you have a lightweight mouse, you can move it easier, leading to less "lag" when making flicks and other things.

[steep pelican]

I assume you don’t count g502 light speed as a new mouse then lol?

[west hornet]

No is not a mouse

But he probably mean by design. There aren’t really any new mouse designs that are heavy some like the 502 are just old but updated to keep with time since it still popular

[rigid valve]

agree

[sharp kindle]

Artisans 😎

[tight pulsar]

swagkey’s customers service is very nice

[rigid valve]

[wanton burrow]

mfw a korean vendor sells me a better deal than the chinese one

$6.5/pack for sp star luminous switches

and $46/50pcs from the good 'ol keybox

roughly $18 shipping :pepeSmile:

[timber ridge]

bruh tell me why an na vendor charging me the same shipping as kbd

[wanton burrow]

[timber ridge]

mekibo legit is in the same state as me and its 17 dollar shipping for a keyset

[rigid valve]

Looks p nice

Anyone here who’s had experience with Moondrop Sparks and AirPod Pros, how would you compare the sound (bass, mids, treble)?

Sparks seem to be brighter

Also just

Sparks are apparently very Harmon accurate

[pine cloud]

steelseries Rival 600 and i prefer it. i dont play many FPS games. Mostly simulation, survival etc...

[sly warren]

Oh jeez you even picked a kinda crappy heavy mouse. Steel series sidegrips have been atrocious for a long time now.

[daring zenith]

tbh nowadays you can just go light mouse and get a mousepad that's suited more towards control

[pine cloud]

i dont have any issues with it

[timber ridge]

i cant wait for my tkl

wkl layout is my fave aesthetically

[queen sigil]

i use windows key to just get rid of it

[steep pelican]

What’s difference between wkl and tkl

[timber ridge]

two blockers at the bottom

window keyless

[steep pelican]

Could you send example ?

I can’t picture it

[tight pulsar]

tkl just means it has no numberpad

wkl just means it has no window keys, it can be any size

here’s a wkl 60

[steep pelican]

Why don’t people want windows key? Seems a little weird to me but idk

That has a 1u Backspace

Also what is up with the random up arrow key

[timber ridge]

i jus secured my wkl 60

jus need a pcb and needa wait for it to ship

[tight pulsar]

which board

[wanton burrow]

Coz can use macros & fn instead and wkl is very nice

Wkl tkl :solit:

[tight pulsar]

wkl looks better for most people and way easier to het support for og cherry caps that also didn’t have winkeys (like the one on that board)

[timber ridge]

vast60

was gonna get in pc, but i was told that machined pc sucks

[wanton burrow]

But yea u miss that epbt retro cherry caps thing

[tight pulsar]

it’s harder to make the same quality of alu

hiney pc boards are good

[timber ridge]

i didnt wanna take the chance lol

[wanton burrow]

Old looking winkey and some literal cherry keys

[timber ridge]

i need ga bow to restock already

[sly warren]

Wkl is Winkeyless. TKL is Ten Key Less. Which is the Numpad

[rigid valve]

Yes

[latent hull]

What are some good iems for audio work?

[timber ridge]

tbh any iem in ur price range

if you go wired

[latent hull]

ok thanks

[timber ridge]

whats ur budget?

[latent hull]

60 but can go to 80 if it is a big improvement

[timber ridge]

do you like bass? mids? etc

[latent hull]

I like mainly mids but don't mind some good bass

[timber ridge]

i feel like blon 05s are a nice overall pick for the price, only downside is the color

i really havent been up to date with iems so idk if there is any new picks bu thats a solid option

[latent hull]

Ok, thank you for all your help

[west hornet]

arias are pretty nice too

[timber ridge]

i forgot they exist

[tight pulsar]

[timber ridge]

[timber ridge]

ik there is a few 67 lite users here https://kbdfans.com/collections/new-arrival/products/kbd67-v3-aluminum-case?variant=39406607761547

[steep pelican]

The price tho…

For a budget keeb it’s a little much

[timber ridge]

i dont think its too bad

[slow hull]

There was this skl flea market where i go to skl and parents can donate stuff. One parent donated a ducky one 2 mini for some reason, and the 4th grade kids priced it at 6 bucks

What a steal

And it was practically brand new

[wanton burrow]

it's kid of a normal alu case price imo

though brass weight not seeable so

[thick tartan]

i also think thts the correct price for a case

the whole kit including that case is like 250 almost 300 bucks easy

[queen sigil]

i mean if ur getting an aluminnum case ur basically getting super nice board

besides the weird gaskets

[wanton burrow]

sp star luminouses over hyperglides hmmmmmmm

y'all think cherry would still sound cherry on a deep/hollow sounding board? seems like kbd75v3 is at that domain

[thick tartan]

i dont know i think i have a different opinion on cherry switches now

like i wouldnt use them but

they definitely arent as bad as ppl depict them to be

[rose finch]

Hi I’m new I just signed up can anyone recommend a good USP for my WiFi router

UPS

[glad yarrow]

ups?

like an uninterrupted power supply?

[rose finch]

Yes

[sly warren]

Typically using a UPS for your wifi router is pointless

If power is out, you won't have internet regardless of the state of your router being on or off

Now having a UPS for your PC? That's useful for making sure your documents are saved.

And also UPS's last for around like, 10 to 15 minutes. They aren't designed for long term use.

[rose finch]

I have backup batteries that runs the whole house when the power is out I tested it and when the air conditioner comes on my router turns off for a second

[wanton burrow]

ppl depict them as bad? wth

some even chase and find some good batches lol

[sly warren]

So... You've hit the wattage limit for your backup battery for a split second while your A/C kicks in so your Router conks out for a split second.

Oh the horror

Sounds like you need a Generator, not a UPS

[rose finch]

Yes someone says a ups will keep it on

[sly warren]

I mean it will. But... Abusing a UPS like that isn't going to fix the problem.

UPS units are designed to be used maybe once or twice a month at most.

And if you have loss of power more than 1 time a month. I think you have bigger problems than losing internet connection.

[rose finch]

The power doesn’t go out her a lot maybe once a year

[sly warren]

Then why the hell is this an issue?

[rose finch]

I just want to be ready

[sly warren]

For... The ONE time you have to rely on backup power to power a device that will be rendered useless when the power is out?

[rose finch]

The batteries will kick in

[sly warren]

And you'll still not have Internet...

Because the ISP has to have power too ya dingus

[steep pelican]

This is true

If the power goes out only once a year it doesn’t seem like a big issue to me especially if you already have these backup batteries in place for essential appliances

[rose finch]

I was just asking for a recommendation

[sly warren]

My recommendation is to not get a UPS if you already have a whole home backup battery.

Because it's pointless for what you want to do.

Your Router and Modem will be useless in a power outage.

Because you won't have internet in the first place.

[steep pelican]

Unless you have starlink maybe

But considering they didn’t mention it I doubt they do

[rose finch]

Ok thanks

[steep pelican]

Decent budget bundle if you don’t mind TKC and their color matching https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/500102940078505984/860916879102836756/image0.jpg

It’s literally droqs build lol

I don’t understand why it comes with the black case but idk

[timber ridge]

we talking about cherry switches right or something else?

[thick tartan]

yes cherry switches

[timber ridge]

since when were they depicted as bad ?

[sharp kindle]

All nylon cherries are v nice

Rgb cherries can die

[golden bear]

Does anyone know of good hamsters for palming

[timber ridge]

oox

[thick tartan]

ive seen a whole reddit thread awhile ago trashing on cherry switches

but i think they arent bad imo

[tight pulsar]

stock cherries are eh they need some work to be great, also very batch inconsistent

[rigid valve]

Cherry housing good

[stoic solar]

issue is mostly that if power goes down in your area (blackout) then the fiber node delivering internet to your house will also go down

i had a UPS just for my networking gear since that stuff needs graceful shutdown

but rly wouldnt recommend for general use

[rose finch]

Ok thanks

[stoic solar]

generally isp dont have redundant or backup power for their diber hubs

fiber

oops

[next torrent]

would you guys be able to recommend below 60 dollar headset with built in mic?

guys what desk setup should i get for 1-2 monitors?

[steep pelican]

The desk that fits in your room and fits two monitors idk? Wdym by desk setup lol

[coral temple]

any desk will fit in my room, space isnt a problem but like a sizeable desk that can fight a main and side monitor and my pc

fit*

i put figth

[steep pelican]

Just look up what’s available at ikea

[coral temple]

lol

[coral temple]

ill do that rn

[steep pelican]

Just measure how much space you think your monitors would end up taking then find a desk that would fit that

[coral temple]

ive heard bad things ab linnmon

but its like 25 and i dont spank my desk every 2 sec

[steep pelican]

Looks a little light on legs, is it meant to be a desk?

[coral temple]

ye

oh bruh i can just build itfor free

[thick tartan]

you could get a standing desk

those are more ergonomic nice and easy to build

[sly warren]

At best the Koss GMR Air. Though, it isn't going to sound as good as a pair of Koss KSC75X in terms of actual Audio Quality. The mic capsules are probably about on-par with eachother though.

KSC75X will deliver a much better audio experience even for Gaming, but you'll likely need also a Dongle such as https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MU7E2AM/A/usb-c-to-35-mm-headphone-jack-adapter to get the full quality out of the KSC75X (And to be able to use the mic without a Splitter Cable)

[west hornet]

Only the ksc clip could be pain to some people

[sly warren]

Then Partsexpress headband ahoy!

[gleaming pond]

I use unlubed cherry reds, they're def not THAT bad still very scratchy but their housings give them a nice clacky sound

And that guide is p damn good

[steep pelican]

Why do guides use nk creams a lot tho

[rigid valve]

Taeha

[steep pelican]

Contributing to the over hype of creams

[rigid valve]

But they get more views

[steep pelican]

Didn’t the tfue keeb have creams or something

[daring zenith]

prob

[queen sigil]

YES

THATS WHY TARHA

[timber ridge]

gmk striker

[warped pasture]

can I ask about ethernet things here?

[rigid valve]

Yeah

[warped pasture]

for some reason, my ethernet passthroughs aren't working or something, my ethernet is showing that it is an unidentified network and has no internet... any ideas why?

[wanton burrow]

not only tfue

mainly tfue but some other streamers like lily & scarra got them board from teehee taps with some creams (lily has nolives, a cream recolor)

there's one time where scarra's cream actually creamed on their mc stream

[thick tartan]

to be honest creams may be overhyped but i still think theyre good switches

definitely wouldnt buy them as a premium linear though i think there is way better options.

[queen sigil]

[timber ridge]

imo, premium linears arent worth

feel like most linears are the same for the most part unless you buy aqua kings or some

[steep pelican]

If I ever get a “premium” linear it’s probably just going to be alpacas, creampacas, or splits (just for fun)

I can tell the difference between tactiles tho, holy bobas def worth it

[wraith roost]

Peep my new macro

[daring zenith]

mmm

[steep pelican]

Does it actually work

Like do something

[wraith roost]

Idk I stole the pic off Reddit

I don’t think so

[steep pelican]

XD

[wraith roost]

Think it’s decorative only

[steep pelican]

I wonder what keycap set that is

[gleaming pond]

probs only a decoration piece

[queen sigil]

mmmmmm sandpaper

[timber ridge]

feel like its a lot harder to get a bad linear switch than good

[queen sigil]

mmm gateron silents

[steep pelican]

Gateron Silents are different

[queen sigil]

[timber ridge]

leo get an alu case for ur lite

[queen sigil]

maybe

tbh I think ima either do that and maybe get a GMK set or look for a cheap GB kit

and also some better switches

[steep pelican]

Once I get a job and can make income, I think I’ll consider a non budget keeb

For now I’ll get keychron q1 maybe

[timber ridge]

[wanton burrow]

don't really know what makes a premium switch "premium"

coz that "premium" could be different to other ppl

like, someone could say that ktt kang whites & strawberries are a premium switch, but they aren't that premium of a price

Man, this guy really trynna convince me that Cooler Master and Corsair make better mice than Razer

[daring zenith]

lol

[rigid valve]

Why am I even arguing about mice in a keeb discord
This isn’t gonna go anywhere

[hollow flower]

I mean the MM710 is really good

Rest of them I’m not sure

Corsair mice all suck lmao

[rigid valve]

MM710 is like

How do I phrase it

not better than the viper mini

But ya know

[hollow flower]

According to RJN it’s rank 12 out of all mice in his view

But yeah he ranks the viper mini even higher than that

[rigid valve]

Wait the 710?

What is that’s

Same thing lmao

My

[hollow flower]

I was thinking about the Viper Mini but I think it’d be too small for me

[rigid valve]

Maybe consider the normal Viper then lmao idk

[hollow flower]

I’m thinking about the G305 because it’s fairly cheap and somewhat light

[rigid valve]

G305 is v nice

Personally I would get an Orochi v2 (only v2) for the Kailh GM4.0 switches

But sorta Razer mice fanboy lowkey

Don’t tell anyone :p

[hollow flower]

:p

How is the size of the Orochi V2?

My hands are 19x9 cm

With like a mix of a palm and claw grip

[rigid valve]

I… don’t know

Orochi does not take well to palm though

[hollow flower]

Probably not good for me then

[rigid valve]

[main halo]

model o wire less or razer orochi?

[queen sigil]

depends which one ur hand fits

but model O quality control wack so idk

[main halo]

so orochi better?

[queen sigil]

that's for you to decide

[timber ridge]

depends on ur grip type but id avoid glorious

[main halo]

my grip is claw

when im nont playing i just palm

[queen sigil]

same

maybe i should get a new mouse since i have job

[daring zenith]

claw is good for both

palm is better on orochi afaik

bigger hump

[snow briar]

Orochi also has a solid shell which is pretty important

[daring zenith]

I actually like honeycomb shell tho, sweaty hands don't get the surface slippery or weird feeling

[snow briar]

Yeah but crud and dirty fingers get in there, cleaning could be nightmare inducing

[daring zenith]

compressed air says hi

[queen sigil]

i have very small hands

[snow briar]

I’m just saying it’s a big factor especially for me, I like to eat at my desk and like to be able to just wipe stuff down after a air blast

[daring zenith]

I mean I have compressed air on the shelf right behind me so

[queen sigil]

3.5 in wide

[lavish cosmos]

I hate compressed air

[daring zenith]

:P

[lavish cosmos]

I destroyed my old laptop with it

[daring zenith]

Glorious does also offer a smol brush

[lavish cosmos]

Lol

[daring zenith]

how?

[timber ridge]

oox

actually

if you dont need wireless then x1mr goated for claw

[lavish cosmos]

I cleaned it with it and it never worked after

[queen sigil]

7 in long

hands are 3.5 wide 7 in long

small hand

[lavish cosmos]

Probably was using it from too close

[daring zenith]

oh fun

[snow briar]

Like I wanted a solid shell so much that I spent a stupid amount on my mouse

[daring zenith]

lol

[timber ridge]

the mouse i want cost a stupid amount lol

dont think ima get it bc of that

[daring zenith]

lol

[timber ridge]

i need this in a small

[lavish cosmos]

I bought an air duster from ali express for 40$ its pretty good tbh not too strong but still cleans and reusable

[daring zenith]

I still need to find someone to solder new switches for my gpw

have not used my gpw in forever

doubleclicking is just so annoying

[snow briar]

So far I haven’t had the double clicking issue, love the mouse. Also trying to convince myself it was worth tht price tag

[daring zenith]

gpw superlight doesn't have double clicking issues

it's one of the things they fixed from the original gpw

[snow briar]

Yeah it’s what they claimed to have fixed… the reviewers I was watching/reading were all like “idk man seems the same to me”

[daring zenith]

They did swap the switches afaik

[snow briar]

Ah gotchya

Overall I love the mouse btw… came from a g502 that somehow just died after like a year

[main halo]

wanna try wireless tbh

Can you cerakote plastic

[steep pelican]

You could take a regular basilisk, take it apart, then spray paint it pink

[rigid valve]

that oo

but the paint would degrade

thats why i mentioned pink cerakote

although it will be expensive and make the mouse heavy

it wil be v durable

[rigid valve]

what are the community opinion on shure sm7b cuz its stupid popular and wondering if hype or justify

Probably hype

I'd just stick with a Samson Q2U and a decent interface.

[calm cobalt]

Hello

[rigid valve]

hi

[calm cobalt]

Does the k61 come with a wired keycap puller

[rigid valve]

uhhh

i dont think so

[calm cobalt]

Ok I’ll buy my own

[west hornet]

the sm7b is a very good podcasting mic. pretty much has just the tone most people are looking for in podcasts and it's pretty durable, doesn't really have background noise issues. but it is a hard mic to drive. Personally it's a bit to nasally to me compared to something like a rode nt1

[rigid valve]

ok

[west hornet]

but thats also a bit of personal preference

[rigid valve]

true

[calm cobalt]

Also I am ordering Akko Cs rose reds but should I get the k61 in reds browns or blues

Hello

Help

[rigid valve]

uh

it dont really matter tbh

[calm cobalt]

Ok out of blues or browns cause there both bad witch ones worse or which one should I try

[rigid valve]

browns aren't bad lmao

tactile gang just dont like smol bump

[calm cobalt]

Hmm I’ll just put blues in it

[gleaming pond]

hhhh

what is hhhh

hhhh = what

well for me

[rigid valve]

opk

idk what hhhh is for others

kekw]

[frail sedge]

Which is better when not counting price:
Razer Huntsman
or
Anne Pro 2

[daring zenith]

Can we give you better options?

[steep pelican]

Razer keyboards are bad all around, and Anne pro 2 isn’t like an amazing keyboard either

[frail sedge]

I have a huntsman rn and there's a giveaway going on for an Anne Pro 2 so I was just curious which was better lol

Not like I'm actually gonna win lol

[rigid valve]

enter just to enter imo

[frail sedge]

Yeah I already entered

[daring zenith]

Well

From ONLY those two, I'd say Anne pro 2 better

[frail sedge]

Assuming they're both Red Switches too

[daring zenith]

But yea

Keychron do be nice

[rigid valve]

agree

[daring zenith]

@rigid valve what's the decent **61 keyboard again

[frail sedge]

Red switches are my favorite

[daring zenith]

I keep mixing up the names

[rigid valve]

Rk

they also have an Rk68 and Rk71

[daring zenith]

Oh wait epomaker I think

Isnt that the name

[rigid valve]

and also Rk100 96% board

which is lit

[daring zenith]

Hm

[rigid valve]

epomaker makes the gk61

which is

uh

its fine

[daring zenith]

Hm

What's the one that's just way too much rgb

[rigid valve]

K61

also K66

and K87

[daring zenith]

Ah

That's it

Womier k61, I remember now

[frail sedge]

What even is the difference between red and brown switches

[rigid valve]

reds are linear

[daring zenith]

Tactile and linear

[rigid valve]

browns are tactile

[frail sedge]

What does that mean

[rigid valve]

its hard to explain

linear switches just go down

[daring zenith]

There's tactile feedback

I think I have a gif somewhere

[rigid valve]

tactiles have a section of rapid resistance increase followed by said resistance quickly decelerating

[frail sedge]

english? lol

[steep pelican]

Tactiles are cool

[rigid valve]

tactiles have a section of rapid resistance increase followed by said resistance quickly decelerating

https://input.club/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/cherry-mx-red-500px-15-frames.gif

It's basically

You feel something when pressing down and it actuates

For tactile feedback

[steep pelican]

You only feel on reds when it hits the bottom

[frail sedge]

I've actually tested Red, Yellow, Brown and they all feel the same to me lol

[daring zenith]

Prob because cherry browns have like no tactility

Get something like a t1

[thick tartan]

im picking up akko reds boys

[rigid valve]

nice

[thick tartan]

been wanting to test them out

[daring zenith]

Nice

[frail sedge]

I already have a keyboard I was just wondering

[daring zenith]

Akko cs rose reds should be fun

[thick tartan]

yessir

[daring zenith]

That's why hotswap keyboards are great :p

[thick tartan]

im leaving my splits for my 60/65 percent

[daring zenith]

You can swap switches in and out of keyboards >:p

[frail sedge]

Is Huntsman Mini hotswap?

[daring zenith]

Nope

[rigid valve]

neithr is the Anne Pro if ur gon ask

[thick tartan]

^

soldering is lame

[rigid valve]

no

but its time consume

[daring zenith]

Soldering annoying

Hotswap you just put it in

[thick tartan]

it really is lame tho

[rigid valve]

i was talking to this guy about the Chaos65

[thick tartan]

unless ur using one switch period and never switching out

[rigid valve]

and he was like "how come we have to pay extra for solder"

[thick tartan]

but we all know tht never happens

[rigid valve]

and i was like "cuz most ppl want hs"

like bruv

if im payign $300 for a kit

i want it to have hs

[frail sedge]

$300 for a keyboard? wtf

[daring zenith]

Cheap kits usually have hotswap tho

[thick tartan]

premium feature so yea

[rigid valve]

true

bm kits 👀

[steep pelican]

High end boards are very often solder

[rigid valve]

like what though

[daring zenith]

High end keebs get expensive

There are cases that are like 600$ just for the case

[rigid valve]

keycult 👀

[daring zenith]

Yea keycult just expensive

[thick tartan]

keycult sexy

[rigid valve]

overprice

keyboard gucci

zeal is gucci

keycult

[daring zenith]

Lol

[steep pelican]

TGR Jane v2

[daring zenith]

Zeal be like 1$ per switch

[thick tartan]

tbf atleast keycult works for wat u want tho but tbh for how pricey they are thts how it should be

[daring zenith]

I wonder what the most expensive PCB is

[thick tartan]

and ive finally decided on wat switches i want

not switches keycaps sorry

[daring zenith]

Pcb just doesn't really seem like an expensive thing

Gmk caps?

[thick tartan]

nope

MiTo

[daring zenith]

Hm

[thick tartan]

and drop

its the pegaso one or wwatever

[rigid valve]

wait was the jane rlly solder

huh

[daring zenith]

You know

Gmk caps are really just more expensive than most people's keyboards

[thick tartan]

yup

samurais went down in price

thank god

[daring zenith]

Lol

[rigid valve]

can someone confirm

is the janev2 actually solder

cuz i dont think so

[thick tartan]

idk for red keycaps theyre pretty nice

what ive grown a liking towards on a different note

is those POM half plates

[daring zenith]

One day I'll get enough money to make a good keeb

[thick tartan]

the acoustics on tht thing is so clean

a good keeb for me is like a board made just for me like 1500 down the drain kinda thing

[rigid valve]

uh

[daring zenith]

I want a carbon fiber plate :p

[thick tartan]

those are nice

[daring zenith]

A good keeb for me is like 300$

[thick tartan]

?

[rigid valve]

sorry i had to clip the emote

to use in a diff server

[west hornet]

How expensive is carbon fiber plate lol

[thick tartan]

i though it depends on where u get it

[daring zenith]

Dunno, all I know is they sound nice

[rigid valve]

i think its more expensive than POM

[thick tartan]

like some places overcharge

[west hornet]

Idk what pom is xD

[thick tartan]

well i hope so

POM is onyl a half plate

carbon fiber is a full one

[rigid valve]

you can get POM full

[thick tartan]

ive never heard of tht

or seen one to be fair

[rigid valve]

$20

[thick tartan]

thats how much a polycarb cost me

[west hornet]

Hmm

[rigid valve]

holly crap

pom expensve

[thick tartan]

40 bucks

wtf

[rigid valve]

yeh

[thick tartan]

honestly

they make acoustics sound delicious

so

im ok with tht

half plate still 40 aswell yikes

[rigid valve]

:p

ig its because

they dont do POM top and POM bottom half

its just one half

so u can only take half the plate

[thick tartan]

mb

totally shouldnt be in this channel but

Funko pop figures are 10% if u are one of those nerds like me

[tight pulsar]

cf isn't expensive it's just harder to find places that will cut it

[rigid valve]

its considered a premium material in most circles

which makes it ez for businesses to justify markup

[tight pulsar]

if you have a common plate design there's usually a few on mm for not too expensive

jane v2/ce are ususally popular with different materials and lots of boards use them

The switches started to degrade a lot after like 3 months of using which is why I was wondering

Is MSI Clutch GM50 a good mouse?

[rigid valve]

I doubt it

Might be tho

[rigid valve]

What is this

It looks vaguely like a coax to me

[little crater]

yeah, the connector is just stripped off

[rigid valve]

But

Why would they do that

[sly warren]

It broke?

[rigid valve]

Deadass my house just has a box full of unterminated cat5e and stripped coax cables going throughout the house

[sly warren]

That's definitely a Shielded Coaxial Cable.

[rigid valve]

No, was like that when I opened up the box

[sly warren]

Yeah, it probably broke, and then they just never fixed it.

[rigid valve]

Bruh

What am I supposed to do with it

[sly warren]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rigid valve]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sly warren]

Find where they lead to and use MOCA adapters to run Internet throughout your house?

MOCA stands for Multimedia Over Coaxial

[rigid valve]

That sounds stressful
Might just keep to the cat5e and router system

[sly warren]

It's basically as fast as Ethernet, but uses pre-existing Coax

I mean, it isn't that stressful other than finding where the Coax leads, and then re-terminating the cables that are broke

[rigid valve]

Finding where the coax leads would require a tester thing no?

[sly warren]

They are dirt cheap

You can buy one at Home Depot for 13 bucks

[rigid valve]

Hm

I’m already started on terminating the home Ethernet so will do that first, then coax if it seems worth

Thanks!

[sly warren]

Terminating Coax is even easier than Ethernet

So

It's probably worth it.

[rigid valve]

Wait really

[sly warren]

It's literally 1 conductior

*conductor

[rigid valve]

Fair

But the problem I run into is

How do I get the coax to connect to router

We don’t use cable

So no modem

[sly warren]

MOCA Adapters

Oh duh you mentioned those earlier

Ok tysm

[sly warren]

https://www.amazon.com/Actiontec-Bonded-Ethernet-Adapter-ECB6200K02/dp/B013J7O3X0

Though, I'm sure there's cheaper options

[rigid valve]

Hopefully lol

[sly warren]

https://www.amazon.com/goCoax-Adapter-2-5Gbps-Ethernet-WF-803M/dp/B07XYDG7WN/ This is a cheaper option, albeit you'd need to buy 2.

Does anyone know of any decent white desks that are within 50inches long 25inches wide

[sly warren]

Just paint a slab of wood white.

Making a Desk isn't that hard. Just get some plywood, sand it til it's smooth, and paint it whatever color you want.

And then mount some legs to it.

GG

[rigid valve]

Go to ikea or something

Or do the skiptrace

Wood prices are stupid at the moment I was thinking about getting a countertop from ikea and making it into a desk

Wood prices are pretty bad that is true

I mean, most people do that. It "works"

[rigid valve]

They aren’t absolutely trash though

either

i dont have a huge preference over one

[rigid valve]

just something under 100 bucks

[rigid valve]

Ok

Any Keychron

Literally any Keychron

They’re all good

For 96%/1800 layout get an Rk100

For 60% without arrow keys get an Rk61

For RGB get a Womier/Gamakay K61/K66/K87

[mossy hull]

i have the keychron k2 rn but ive had latency issues when wireless and the slider to change from wired to wireless is really flimsy to the point where i cant change configuration

i wasnt being to hard on it either

[sly warren]

Sounds like you just need to warranty your K2

[mossy hull]

i didnt get one

thats the thing

[sly warren]

Yes you did.

All Keychrons come with like, a year warranty

Maybe 2, but I can't remember.

It's a Keychron product.
