[fast veldt]

ty for helping me lol

[daring zenith]

don't remember the shortcut, but you can open up GFE, click open overlay, and you can turn off instant replay there @fast veldt

[fast veldt]

gotcha, ill keep that in mind

[daring zenith]

that's also where you can save the replay recording

and such, but yea

p sure you can completely disable the interface too

[wanton burrow]

dang, hidizs ms2 and qoa vesper looking gore juice as hell

[white flame]

What in the letter salad did I just read

[wanton burrow]

the two iem look gore juice

uh... yeah

not the best joke to do but yeah they both look beautiful

[rigid valve]

🗿🗿🗿

[clever thunder]

im about to get my license so i need to start saving for a car. i was hoping my parents would pay for my car since they bought my oldest brother a car before he even got his permit... but i guess i gotta pay for mine :/

oldest is always the favorite

[west hornet]

Lol

Me being the oldest i got a crappy car my dad used to use, but since i dont like driving much i bought a piano instead of a new car

Car literally stalled out on a highway yesterday xD

I think of it as fun experience

[clever thunder]

that would be terrifying

i gotta learn to be super calm on the highway in about a month when i start driving with the instructor

i wanna get a decent car, and i plan to put some subs in it to. My dad is a car dealer so he has access to dealer auctions, he said he'll look for me

[west hornet]

I heard engine and i was just like “uh oh” and turned on the hazards to i dont hit anyone behind me

[clever thunder]

But he said he would pay for half

lol

im gonna get a smaller car

like an altima or a corolla or something

[west hornet]

I have bit smaller car now, but im not huge fan on very small car, feels like im racing xD probably because i first learned to drive in trucks and suvs

[clever thunder]

I learned (still learning) how to drive in big vehicles aswell

i hate driving big cars but i like the vision

[west hornet]

I think it was something like this

https://www.cnet.com/a/img/Yr9_R62XLyMwQE7gj1-8u0CI2Tc=/940x528/2017/09/27/ed783dae-a8c3-462b-ae49-a441cbaae8b2/ford-three-recalls-super-duty.jpg

[clever thunder]

the more small cars i drive the more i miss driving the big cars

my dad is a dealer so i drive a bunch of different cars

i only miss the big cars because they are easier to see in

[west hornet]

To me it both easier and harder to see in, some trucks have a few different mirrors including wide angle mirrors which i really like

[clever thunder]

i dont know how much i wanna spend

i listed some ram and some guy is coming to pick it up for $50 in about 2 hours

I also can't get a job because I have wrestling season next month, and a car would help with that a lot

[granite wedge]

Anyone have any recommendations for reliable keyboards from $0-$75 with Cherry MX Silent Red Switches?

[queen sigil]

not many cheap keyboard with mx silents

only ones i could think of are probs leopold keyboard

but those are over 75

[granite wedge]

ohh ok

[queen sigil]

if u want a long lasting keyboard tho leopold is a good one

[wanton burrow]

Uh

I mean like, gore juice like gorgeous, but tbh that thing rly didn't gone well

[sly warren]

Get a Mazda 3, super fun to drive, not too small, not too big either.

[rigid valve]

Mazda 3 is sort of the generic non-boring budget car option

[tight pulsar]

get a miata

[sharp kindle]

welp owlabs fricked up

[sly warren]

Wat? No it isn't. The Mazda 3 is pretty sporty. Compared to the econo-boxes like the Civic and Camry.

[rigid valve]

Huh

I said it’s the generic recommendation for people that don’t want a boring car

That’s literally what I said

[lament ferry]

Hey everyone

[rigid valve]

Hi

[lament ferry]

Hello

[rigid valve]

Hello

[lament ferry]

I have a question you see

[rigid valve]

Ok

[lament ferry]

So uh, what keyboard and mouse should I buy for $150 (CAD) (150 for the two)

[rigid valve]

What’s your hand size and grip type

What size keyboard do you want

[lament ferry]

Uhhh

A 100% keyboard

[lament ferry]

I don't know

Uh

[rigid valve]

And yes this is important

[lament ferry]

Wait, I'm going to go measure my hand

[rigid valve]

Ok

[lament ferry]

Uh

E

I don't have something to mesure my hand

I don't find my meter

Okay hum

My hand width is 9cm

And my hand lenght is 18cm

[rigid valve]

ok

and what's your grip type

[lament ferry]

What's a grip type?

[little crater]

how you hold the mouse

with your palm, fingertip, etc

[lament ferry]

Oh

Wait

Gotta grab my mouse ^^'

[little crater]

#peripherals-and-displays message

[lament ferry]

I would say palm grip

[sly warren]

Basically my hand, before I moved to claw

[rigid valve]

medium palm grip default choice is Razer Deathadder v2

and for keyboard i say Keychron C2

[lament ferry]

Let me see...

The Razer Deathadder v2 mini?

[rigid valve]

huh

i didn't know that existed

[lament ferry]

xD

Send me the link

[rigid valve]

razer deathadder v2

just google it

its like 70usd

[sly warren]

I think they made a Deathadder V2 mini...

Let me check

https://www.razer.com/gaming-mice/razer-deathadder-v2-mini/RZ01-03340100-R3U1

Yes, yes they did

And it's stupid cheap right now.

I'd cop one.

Before I became a Claw gripper, I loved my DAv2

[lament ferry]

Sooo

I should buy the V2 Mini or the V2

[timber ridge]

da so meh tho

razer optical switches are p garb even after the revision and its p heavy

[lament ferry]

I'm confused-

[rigid valve]

ok but like

how many mouse makers use good kailh gm switches

[lament ferry]

But for the keyboard

The Razer BlackWidow Elite seemed nice

[timber ridge]

vaxee has a bunch of goated mice for palm grippers

https://vaxee.co/en/product.php

[sly warren]

Don't buy a Razer Keyboard

[rigid valve]

Razer keyboard stinky

[lament ferry]

Oh okay

Meh, I don't like the design of the mice

[timber ridge]

outset ax or oox would be a lot better option for ergo shape mice

[lament ferry]

And what about the Razer Basilisk V3

[rigid valve]

basilisk is bigger

and heavy

[lament ferry]

Oh

Like too big for my hand?

[rigid valve]

Since you’re on a bigger end of medium you might be fine

[lament ferry]

Okay

And steelseries's mice and keyboards

I bought their Arctis 5, and it's GOATED

Like it's really good

[rigid valve]

[lament ferry]

It's not?

[rigid valve]

no

its not

not at all

[lament ferry]

E

But the Arctis 5 is good

[rigid valve]

but

its not

[lament ferry]

Wait wait wait

So the Arctis 5 isn't good

because I actually have it, and it's indeed good

[timber ridge]

the only "good" gamer headset from a gamer company is the cloud2 and mh752

[lament ferry]

For a $100CAD

[timber ridge]

but if youre happy with what you have then i wouldnt worry

[lament ferry]

I'Il probably change it one day

But it does the job

[timber ridge]

8.5/10 times something created by a big gamer company like corsair, razer etc is gonna be p bad

[lament ferry]

Oh

Okay okay

But hum, what's the best keyboard and mouse you can recommand me

(under 100CAD)

Maybe 150 for the keyboard

[timber ridge]

im p sure a leopold should be in your budget unless canada tax is crazy

[shadow bane]

I got the keychron k4 and I love it

If you dont care much for the rainbow rgb it's nice

[lament ferry]

15%

[lament ferry]

I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT RGB

(Just kidding)

[timber ridge]

do you know what you want in a keyboard?

[lament ferry]

Well, kind of

[queen sigil]

i mean

[lament ferry]

I want it to have a nice feel and sound

[queen sigil]

if you dont need rgb then get leopold

[lament ferry]

Let me see what it is

WHAT THE F-

It looks good

But-

500$

A little bit over my budget

[timber ridge]

if you need rgb then get a varmillo otherwise get a leopold

[lament ferry]

But can I change the key caps?

[sly warren]

Why would you?

[lament ferry]

I don't know

[sly warren]

You can change the keycaps on basically any mechanical board.

[lament ferry]

Just for personalising it

And it's mechanical?

[sly warren]

...

I wouldn't have said that if it wasn't a mech.

Keychron C2 is a great cheap entry-level mechanical board.

[lament ferry]

And the k4?

[sly warren]

It's full size (which make me want to gag at how much space they waste)

K4 is... a 96% which is basically a space saving 100%

[lament ferry]

So a 60% would be better

[sly warren]

Oh heavens no.

[lament ferry]

Oh okay

[sly warren]

60% doesn't have enough keys IMO

[lament ferry]

To be honest I hate 60%

[sly warren]

80% is where the balance is struck

[lament ferry]

THEY'RE SO SMALL

Oh

[sly warren]

Or, I should say 75%

https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k2-hot-swappable-wireless-mechanical-keyboard

[lament ferry]

75% looks fine to me

[timber ridge]

lmao, kinda ironic

is the mech community, 75% is usually the most hated

[sly warren]

And the people who hate it are wrong.

It's the ideal layout.

All the keys you need, with no waste.

[lament ferry]

I mean, 60% may me good for gaming

But I hate typing with a 60%

[timber ridge]

jus get a keyboard for every layout you want ez

[sly warren]

I mean the only "advantage" a 60% has for gaming is it's small size.

[lament ferry]

Yeah

But just wanna know

What's the best switch

[timber ridge]

everything is preference

[sly warren]

That's a loaded question

[timber ridge]

but you can have a bad preference lol

[lament ferry]

Yeah, your opinion

But to be honest, a switch with a good sound would be enough for me

[sly warren]

Well, most mech switches sound nice.

[timber ridge]

many things play a role in sound sig

[sly warren]

Do you want a Tactile feel?

[lament ferry]

Brown switches

[lament ferry]

What do you mean by that

[sly warren]

Browns sound just fine, they just don't feel great to most people.

[lament ferry]

I don't know, I don't like them

[sly warren]

Do you want a little bump feel in the middle of your keystroke that tells you when you have actuated the key?

[rigid valve]

browns are a good choice imo

if you don't like the bump get linears

if you want more get actual tactiles

the whole anti-brown stigma is a joke started by tactile gang that all the noobs took way too seriously which eventually culminated in this widespread hatred for small-bump switches, browns specifically

[lament ferry]

Why not

[sly warren]

I was asking you if you wanted that...

[lament ferry]

I know

[timber ridge]

if youre gonna build a keyboard then the best budget kit restocked today, dunno if its still in stock

its 60% tho

[lament ferry]

I think I would prefer a linear keyboard

But the name sounds expensive

"Linear"

[sly warren]

You mean a Linear Switch...

The keyboard doesn't do jack squat other than hold the switches.

[rigid valve]

that is

so wrong

that is beyond ignorant

[sly warren]

No it isn't.

The board itself is little more than an electrical highway for the switches.

[rigid valve]

wrong

the board is the primary facilitator of the feel and sound of the switches

[sly warren]

If you distill it down to the essence of what the board does, that's exactly what the board is.

[lament ferry]

Confoozion

[rigid valve]

yeah and if you distill a mouse down to its base then it does nothing more than just hold the switches

but that's not correct is it?

[sly warren]

I mean, that's pretty correct.

[rigid valve]

nor is it correct for keebs

[sly warren]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Anyways.

[lament ferry]

Actually, I think my favorite switch is the red

[timber ridge]

imo, if you want a really good sounding budget kb, get akko/ktt or jwicks and a bakeneko while its still in stock

[rigid valve]

those linears

[rigid valve]

not in budget

[timber ridge]

its gonna def sell out tomorrow if it didnt sell out already

[rigid valve]

bakeneko takes like the entire budget already

just the kit

[lament ferry]

How much is it?

[sly warren]

I'd buy a Keychron K2 Hotswap and start with the Red switches.

[timber ridge]

rip

[rigid valve]

like 130usd

[sly warren]

The Hotswap feature means you can put whatever switches you want in it later.

[timber ridge]

then nothing else is gonna sound "good"

[rigid valve]

C2 and some foam could work

[lament ferry]

202CAD

[rigid valve]

for just keeb and for keeb and mouse

also that doesn't fit anyways

[timber ridge]

is the c2 hollow sounding to begin with?

[lament ferry]

I think I'Il just buy the keychron C2 or K4

[rigid valve]

no

c2 just sounds

well

plain

[lament ferry]

Okay so, the best keyboard I can have for this price is the Keychron k4?

[sly warren]

Yeah, it's a solid board.

[rigid valve]

keychron is good

cheap

good build

decent wireless

[lament ferry]

Okay perfect

Thanks

Okay then

The mouse

I still haven't decided

[sly warren]

You have a gigantic list of good mice for you.

If you really wanted to, you could Palm a MF'ing G Pro X Superlight.

[timber ridge]

if you want a wireless palm mouse then get an oox

[sly warren]

Here's a list of mice you can grip well.

It's so long, I had to zoom out on my browser to fit them all.

[rigid valve]

mind budget constraints

[timber ridge]

that list is p garb too

[sly warren]

Wat

[rigid valve]

fr

steelseries rival

[sly warren]

It's Rocket Jump Ninja

[rigid valve]

cougar

basilisk

[sly warren]

It's just a full list of mice his hand CAN palm.

Well

His hand will FIT

[rigid valve]

GLORIOUS

HAHAHHAHAH

[sly warren]

Don't trash on Glorious mice bro

[timber ridge]

i saw the viper and didnt look any further

[rigid valve]

breh

glorious qc 🤡

[sly warren]

It's been pretty pog for me.

My Model O Wired has been nothing but flawless.

[rigid valve]

that's great and all

but your experience is not what we would call "normal"

[sly warren]

And my GMMK that I had from their first batch was very poggers

[rigid valve]

glorious qc is pretty damn bad

[timber ridge]

glorious mouse channel is ppl complaining about qc

[rigid valve]

the entire channel

[sly warren]

Maybe just don't have bad RNG

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rigid valve]

oh damn bro

that's great advice

just control stuff that you can't control

that's really good advice

[timber ridge]

and theres like no reason to get it since alternatives are so good

[rigid valve]

^^^^^^

[sly warren]

There was basically no alternative for me, because people hate making White products.

[timber ridge]

coolermaster made goated mice but ppl stayed away bc qc

glorious makes half decent mice and has the same qc

[sly warren]

By the time other things had come out, I already had my Model O wired

[timber ridge]

to be fair, the first batch of mow was half decent

[rigid valve]

first couple batches of glorious mice were great

[sly warren]

My Model O was not in the first batch.

[timber ridge]

but glorious has proven that they dont care about qc and is p sketchy

[rigid valve]

everything else has had some of the worst qc i've seen come out of glorious

[sly warren]

I bought it like, ~6 months ago

[timber ridge]

they use the cheapest chinese oems parts possible

[rigid valve]

even compared to their keebs

qc on their mice is so much worse

[lament ferry]

Just wanna know

[sly warren]

I had a Viper, but it was too short.

[rigid valve]

glorious is not a brand to recommend anymore, for anything really

[lament ferry]

Is the Logitech G 502 HERO a good mouse

[sly warren]

NO

[timber ridge]

viper is good but def not for palm imo

[lament ferry]

Oh okay xD

[sly warren]

Well, ok

[rigid valve]

it's a little heavy but it has a really good sensor and decent switches

[sly warren]

It's a loaded question.

[timber ridge]

especially since it has as sloped back, the viper shape is honestly p bad

[rigid valve]

g502 overall i say is a good mouse if you can roll with heavier mice

[sly warren]

I don't recommend any mouse that weighs more than like 80g

[timber ridge]

it doesnt really suite any grip, besides the mini which is p goated for ftip

[rigid valve]

so.. it's heavy

and you hate it

[sly warren]

Yeah, I don't palm either, but the back felt too short for me to claw.

[rigid valve]

because it's heavy

and yet

some people

oh idk

[sly warren]

It's excessively heavy.

[rigid valve]

LIKE HEAVY

they enjoy heavy

[sly warren]

And those people can have a wrong preference.

[rigid valve]

...

see this is your problem

[sly warren]

Heavy mice are bad.

[rigid valve]

you have no understanding of preference

[little crater]

or just get custom pads so theres less friction

[timber ridge]

still sliding a brick on a glass pad tho

[sly warren]

Good luck with having hand issues later in life.

[rigid valve]

peripherals especially have a massive preference factor

if you retreat into pc parts that's different

[timber ridge]

if he plays mmos then the g502 should be fine ig

[rigid valve]

but peripherals specifically

[little crater]

my mouse is like 90 grams

its fine

its got pog feet

[sly warren]

That's on my borderline, if the shape is JUST right then 90g is ok.

[little crater]

doesnt drag at all

[rigid valve]

i agree

g502 is good

if you can handle heavy

[sly warren]

But, once you hit 100g+ it's excessive.

[little crater]

shape niiiiice

[timber ridge]

@lament ferry what games do you play if any

[lament ferry]

Hum

[little crater]

or just get stronger hands smh

[lament ferry]

I play Shooters and MMOs

[rigid valve]

ok

[little crater]

i flick all over the place with my mouse

[lament ferry]

And some singleplayer games

[timber ridge]

id go lightweight tbh

[rigid valve]

i would just go heavier

[timber ridge]

if youre playing shooters

[rigid valve]

and casual play the shooters instead

focus on mmo

[timber ridge]

true depends on what he focuses on

[rigid valve]

or vice versa

and go lighter

and focus on shooters

and casual mmo

[timber ridge]

but a heavy mouse gonna slow you down a lot in shooters

[rigid valve]

g502 not a good shooter mouse

good mmo mouse

imo

having used it to play like

[timber ridge]

palm grip in general isnt

[lament ferry]

To be honest, I don't need to be a pro gamer 58 kills per game

[rigid valve]

fair

[sly warren]

It's an "ok" MMO mouse, there's better options though.

[rigid valve]

but also palm is comfy and intuitive

[sly warren]

Like the ones with 12 buttons on the side.

[rigid valve]

expensive

ones that aren't expensive usually suck

like corsair

[little crater]

couldnt imagine using those

[sly warren]

I think there's a few decently cheap ones.

[timber ridge]

i still stand by my recommendations, vaxee outset ax or oox

[little crater]

thats where youre thumb grips the mouse, but all that happens is you push a bunch of buttons

[timber ridge]

p much the best he can get in his budget for wireless and wired

[sly warren]

That's an... Interesting shape

[lament ferry]

Oh and by the way

[sly warren]

Only PTFE feet?

[lament ferry]

I would prefer to a wired mouse

[rigid valve]

vaxee mouse looks nice shape actually

[sly warren]

Why a Wired preference?

Wireless is poggers

[timber ridge]

same ppl who made zowie stuff

[rigid valve]

wait fr

[sly warren]

Well done wireless is downright objectively better than Wired.

[lament ferry]

I know but it costs more

[sly warren]

Cable Drag is a B

[rigid valve]

fr

vaxee looks sorta like mm711

i like

[sly warren]

I get that, I'm just saying that it's not worth looking down on Wireless just because it's expensive.

[rigid valve]

but

it's expensive

[lament ferry]

I wasn't looking down on it

[rigid valve]

it ain't bad

but well

it's expensive

fr

exactly what i do

[lament ferry]

If I had more budget, I would buy a wireless

[rigid valve]

haven't had wire drag literally ever

[timber ridge]

p sure iirc

[sly warren]

I had to buy a bungee to get it to not drag.

[rigid valve]

damnnn

vaxee is on the list

[lament ferry]

I'Il buy the Logitech G 502 HERO then

[rigid valve]

ok

[timber ridge]

yea its like an ec1

[rigid valve]

have fun iwth it

[lament ferry]

Not now

[sly warren]

Plz no...

[rigid valve]

skiptrace

[lament ferry]

It's on my cart

[rigid valve]

preference

please

understand

[timber ridge]

and if you want budget wireless then the origin one x is an easy pick for palm grip

[sly warren]

Preference bad, Heavy Bad

[timber ridge]

its also like the only pick outside of the kone pro air which is out of budget

[rigid valve]

🤦‍♂️

[rigid valve]

yo

never seen this mouse before

looks good

[timber ridge]

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

[sly warren]

This mouse makes me question my Hand Grip

[lament ferry]

It's out of stock (on amazon)

[timber ridge]

if youre shopping on amazon then ur best bet is prob an ec1 or some

[lament ferry]

It's just that I'm in Canada

So I have to pay in CAD

Not in USD

I shop on newegg too (duh)

[timber ridge]

is the pulsar xlite on ca amazon?

[lament ferry]

Let me search it

Yes it is

[steep pelican]

rip i was going to buy some good headphones for a trip im leaving on on saturday morning but then i forgot and nothing will ship overnight

[lament ferry]

It's on CA amazon

[timber ridge]

i havent looked into it too much, but its a p good mouse on paper

ec2 clone irc

[lament ferry]

So I should buy a light mouse

[timber ridge]

i mean theres nothing bad with a light mouse

most of the heavier mice in the market are old and havent been updated in a long time

[lament ferry]

But having a 80g+ mouse doesn't bother me at all

I don't know if my actual mouse is over 80g

But it's probably not that bad

[timber ridge]

almost every new mouse is most likely a lightweight mouse

they get all the new sensors and better sensors

switches **

[little crater]

i find heavier mice with good feet are actually nice for high sens fps gaming

they slide, but you can stop on a dime because the mouse has some weight to it

[lament ferry]

Facts

[timber ridge]

yea its all preference, nothing wrong with heavier mice

[little crater]

also you dont have to actually move the mouse much

because high sens

[timber ridge]

jus that most of them have outdated tech since they havent been updated

[lament ferry]

Mh

[floral lake]

ye, don't listen to skiptrace

[lament ferry]

But what's some good lightweight, by curiosity

[floral lake]

he'll keep preaching about how heavy is bad

[little crater]

lightweight and high sens can be rough, unless you know what your doing and your one of those fingertip crack addicts who have insane hand precision

[floral lake]

on average it might be bad but there's actually people who likes heavy

[rigid valve]

skip makes objectively good headphone recommendations with no care to preference
his mouse recs are basically lightweight lightweight lightweight
and he knows nothing keebs

sorry skip

[little crater]

weight isnt as big of a deal as having a good mousepad and good feet imo

[rigid valve]

^

[floral lake]

ye

[rigid valve]

i can't disagree

[little crater]

my brother has a mouse thats nice and ergo, but it D R A G S

can hardly move the thing

but he doesnt really play video games, so he doesnt notice lol

oh dw lol

hes turbo nerd programmer

mf creates his own programming languages and compilers like wtf

[lament ferry]

Okay hum, so for now, my keyboard + mouse setup is Logitech G502 HERO (or Razer Basilisk V3, I'm not sure) and Keychron K4

[little crater]

basilisk v nice shape

[lament ferry]

They're on my newegg cart

[little crater]

but

razer software 🤢

[lament ferry]

Oh

[little crater]

not a joke

i use razer stuff

[lament ferry]

What's bad on their software

[little crater]

I HATE SYNAPSE WITH A PASSION

[timber ridge]

if youre not getting a viper or orochi, id try to avoid razer

[lament ferry]

I never owned something made by razer

[timber ridge]

coming from a person who loves the viper lol

[floral lake]

synapse just sucks

[lament ferry]

What's a synapse ^^'

[little crater]

OH ITS SO BAD YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH GREIF ITS CAUSED ME

[lament ferry]

It's the software?

[little crater]

yes

[rigid valve]

razer synapse is their rgb and customization software

and it is so

[little crater]

its, in a word

[rigid valve]

so

bad

[little crater]

the worst

[floral lake]

synapse is software for controlling razer things

[rigid valve]

akchooallee that is too wurdz

[little crater]

its broken graphics drives, games, WINDOWS INSTALLS

[lament ferry]

I can't juste use another software

[little crater]

I

I ... I

I CANT

[floral lake]

you can i think, openrgb

[little crater]

razer products go with razer software

[floral lake]

oh

rip

[little crater]

for macros n stuff

[lament ferry]

E

Then

What about a steelseries mouse

[little crater]

dude synapse was locking Overwatch at 30 fps

lost my fugging mind

[lament ferry]

You know what

[little crater]

logi mice are so good

dont be like us

[lament ferry]

Logitech G502 HERO

[little crater]

dont get razer lmao

[floral lake]

i want logi g102

[lament ferry]

My last choice

[little crater]

hahaha

[floral lake]

all i have rn is dirt cheap b100 also from logi

[little crater]

sorry

[floral lake]

but im happy with it despite it being cheapest end of logi

[timber ridge]

logitech cheap mice goated

[floral lake]

literally paid 3 for this on sale

on shopee

[timber ridge]

logitech in general, their only con really is their switches they use

[floral lake]

i already wore its logo off but functionally works fine, been a year so far

but 800 dpi honestly isn't a great experience

i missed higher when i had some random chinese mouse that died on me

[shadow bane]

i got 2 pings here but cant seem to find them, whats up

[rigid valve]

Doesn’t look like anything important

[shadow bane]

i found them

[rigid valve]

Seems to have been resolved

[shadow bane]

yep

when i reset my pc and redownloaded discord it reset my time zone on disc

and i havent felt like changing it

so i thought i was looking at yesterdays messages lol

[lament ferry]

Just wanna know

Is the Razer Cynosa Chroma good?

It's 55USD

Super cheap

Okay

There's too much choices

I'm confused

[timber ridge]

id snag a keychron or varmillo

if you need the game aesthetics, then jus save money and get a red dragon

[rigid valve]

Or Royal kludge

Honestly decent boards

And like $50

And they offer like every layout you can think of

[queen sigil]

phone

[shadow bane]

obviouslt this one https://www.walmart.com/ip/MAGAZINE-Classical-style-wireless-Bluetooth-speaker-Bluetooth-audio-cute-appearance-creative-gift-bass-enhancement-amplifier/732318157?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=101062804

[little crater]

yo totally that one

no contest

[shadow bane]

exactly

[rigid valve]

Honestly

Do it

[shadow bane]

itd prolly sound like an xbox headset

[lament ferry]

which keychron

[timber ridge]

any that you like

if you wanna mod in the future make sure its a hotswap one

[lament ferry]

Okay thanks!

[timber ridge]

np

[lament ferry]

Last question

Should I take a 60-65%

Your opinion

[sharp kindle]

pain27

[timber ridge]

considering keychron doesnt have qmk besides the q1 id get 65%

anyone ever heard of this?

i guess its some dude who handbuilds his own electrostat headphones

they look sick

omg, they on the list

https://crinacle.com/rankings/headphones/

i was looking at some cheap electrostats, might actually get these

What mousepads do you guys recommend for fps gaming? Preferably ones that don't wear out quickly

Thank you @rigid valve
Thank you very much

[rigid valve]

yw

[steady hinge]

Why tf did I ping in a reply

[south iron]

What am I to do about this

[little crater]

put a keycap on it

ion see the problem here

[south iron]

Im gonna smak yu

Switch puller is to big to get the tavs

[little crater]

😫

[south iron]

Tabs

To take the switch out

[little crater]

damn

i actually not sure what you could do

maybe could get some pliers or something and bend the tips of the keycap puller down a bit

[south iron]

I might just not lube the top row

As long as I get the main keys ill be fine

Less work for me anyway since it will be my first time lubing switches

Easier on me

[little crater]

yeah, those are just the F keys right?

you hardly use them, they can definitely be left alone

[south iron]

Yea

[daring zenith]

@south iron keychron board with alu frame?

Or any board with frame?

Because often you can remove the side pieces

[south iron]

Keychron c1

Plastic

[daring zenith]

Then you'll have to just do it the ugly way, attack the top part with the switch puller a little bit sideways and angled

[south iron]

I tried

Its not gonna get it

I camt even get one side

Let alond both

[daring zenith]

That looks to me like you can definitely get top side

You'll need to wiggle

[daring zenith]

What you do is wiggle left-right while slightly angled down to get that top 'grip' to grip the top bit of the switch

And then do the same for the bottom bit

I would give a demonstration but not at my keeb

[south iron]

@daring zenith

Very not legit way

But I got it

Def not worth doing for all of them

[glad yarrow]

Ive done that a few

[south iron]

I basically used this tiny screwdriver thing to push the tab back so the switch puller can go all the way down and hold the tab in then did that same thing for the other tab

[glad yarrow]

Just dont plug em in till tomorrow

And they should still work

[south iron]

Then pulled it

[glad yarrow]

Yeah earbuds are surprisingly resilient

Ive washed my earbuds that came with my old iphone in the washer so many times they still smell like fabric softner

they surprisingly still work

Nice

Im android gang now

Loved android far more than I ever liked ios

[gleaming pond]

how

oh

rip

[little crater]

ordered new headphones, now i gotta put in a 200 dollar digikey order to build the amp

[sly warren]

lol

[daring zenith]

Lol

[strange ivy]

so like i spilled water on my keyboard last night so i just left it out to air dry, and now this motioning it’s having a seizure. it does stuff on its own, still works but scrolls and types and does stuff on its own and it’s annoying, so is there anyway to fix itv

[spark lava]

Hm, sounds like keyboard is shorting out.

[strange ivy]

yep

[spark lava]

Tap water has conductive minerals in it.

Clean the board.

With isopropyl and it may fix it.

[strange ivy]

because isopropyl is non conductive

[spark lava]

But you might not be able to do anything. 😦

[strange ivy]

right?

[spark lava]

Isopropyl will just help clean off the minerals.

[strange ivy]

so just take apart the keys and use rubbing alchohol

[spark lava]

Im not saying to pour isopropyl onto it.

[strange ivy]

no ofc not

[spark lava]

Clean the board itself.’

Not the keys.

[strange ivy]

btw this is my new account so add this one lol

[spark lava]

Like the actual PCB.

[strange ivy]

so just take all the keys off

[spark lava]

Ok lol.

[strange ivy]

and clean it?

[spark lava]

Hmm does taking off the keys expose the PCB?

[strange ivy]

idk what the PCB even is

[spark lava]

I think you’d have to open the keyboard itself.

[rigid valve]

you might also just be screwed

[spark lava]

The actual board the keyboard uses.

[strange ivy]

i can’t take the whole thing apart

[spark lava]

Ah then there’s not much you can do.

[strange ivy]

there’s not even any screws i see

[spark lava]

Even then it’s not guaranteed to fix it.

[strange ivy]

so ima just let it dry more unplugged

and wish for the best

[spark lava]

You can maybe wait to see if anyone else has a better answer.

[strange ivy]

if not i have some other perfectly working keyboards to use until i can get a new one

[floral lake]

It won't dry completely like that

[spark lava]

But that’s all I got.

[floral lake]

Ya gotta take it apart down to the pcb

[strange ivy]

there’s nothing else i can do

[floral lake]

Yeah it's either that or nothing

[strange ivy]

i don’t trust myself to be able to do that lol

im probably just gonna buy a new one

it’s not worth the hassle if it’s not even guaranteed to fox it

fix*

[cedar rover]

hey

[strange ivy]

what are some good new keyboards for me

indont really wanna spend more than 40 bucks

[cedar rover]

can anyone who knows about windows 10 software plz dm

[strange ivy]

so nothing too special

[timber ridge]

if your budget is under 40 then jus pick whatever keyboard looks best to you, theyre all same for the most part around that price

[floral lake]

^

[strange ivy]

what do yall think of this?

like i said, nothing major, not meant to be huge or cool looking, if theres a cool one i can get for cheap but good totally but i dont have a full gaming setup so

https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Keyboard-Rainbow-Keyboards-Computer/dp/B08HGN8CB7?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1 im probably just gonna get this. same one i have now, but in white

[sly warren]

I mean, I'd just save for a Royal Kludge board.

Like an RK84

Or RK87

[shadow bane]

Opinions on glorious model o?

Im debating getting one, my m602 is having scroll wheel issues

And is a mouse like that able to click faster?

Well

Can it register clicks faster/more cps?

[sly warren]

CPS is almost entirely based on your fingers.

The Model O from my experience is a great mouse.

[shadow bane]

Yeah I thought so

[sly warren]

But some people have had Quality control issues with their units, and Glorious has gotten a bad rap for it.

[shadow bane]

I get like 13cps butterfly clicking

[sly warren]

Why do you even really care about CPS?

[rigid valve]

bad qc

not worth

[shadow bane]

Someone in another server said I'd get 20cps which just seemed false lmao

[shadow bane]

Minecraft

[sly warren]

Some people report 20cps on their Model O

[shadow bane]

I play pvp a lot

[rigid valve]

roccat kone

ez

[sly warren]

Oh... you're one of THOSE people.

[shadow bane]

What?

I dont sweat

But I play pvp

[sly warren]

You are sweaty if you are caring about CPS

Just play the game.

Have fun

[shadow bane]

How is that sweaty lol

[sly warren]

Enjoy life

[shadow bane]

I do?

Whatever

[rigid valve]

so yeah @shadow bane

roccat kone

[shadow bane]

Anyways, my current mouse is having issues

How much is it?

[sly warren]

You have a computer and Google.

[rigid valve]

roccat kone also nice because it lets you jitter click unlike say Razer

one of the reasons why people like the model o

but also model o qc stinky

[shadow bane]

I am on my phone with bad internet

So it takes a few minutes to Google

But thanks for your input

[south iron]

Should I use the XTM50 paste or the or the paste that came with my cooler

[rigid valve]

@shadow bane do you have a budget in mind

[sly warren]

Neither

[rigid valve]

i dont think you're asking in the right place

[sly warren]

XTM50 is not worth it.

[south iron]

Oh oops im in peripheral

[shadow bane]

Pretty much anything below like 70

Is this jt? If so who tf needs 19k dpi lmao https://www.amazon.com/ROCCAT-Lightweight-Ergonomic-Performance-Aluminum/dp/B091BMFL15/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?adgrpid=55831575837&dchild=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwkbuKBhDRARIsAALysV7hRj0T-vwg-C74dit_VyUl2Jwp3bdeoJjCRPv5YrOgim4MPGgXFogaAmxQEALw_wcB&hvadid=274730095171&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=9003323&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=4427452472779408482&hvtargid=kwd-297859633588&hydadcr=3721_9924600&keywords=roccat+kone&qid=1632592933&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzQlZXTElGWDA4OUJQJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNzEyMzUxMVdFTTRTTDlYMUdJRCZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNzYxMjM2MThYUjZaWlgxVDU5RCZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX3Bob25lX3NlYXJjaF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl

Oh also

I Palm grip

[sly warren]

I mean, either way, if you are caring THAT much about paste, you probably should just be using Liquid Metal and making your IHS a permenant seal to the cooler.

But

¯_(ツ)_/¯

That's a mouse... designed for palm

[shadow bane]

Yes, I have eyes

He asked for budget

[sly warren]

I mean, it's under-budget so

[shadow bane]

So I figured he was going ti suggest something else as well

[sly warren]

I'd just buy it.

[rigid valve]

dont get razer for minecraft

opticals wack

i know technoblade uses a deathadder to play minecraft

but hes exceptional

[shadow bane]

I mostly play mc and valorant rn

[sly warren]

Play Team Fortress 2 and have more wacky fun in your life.

[rigid valve]

no

ew

[shadow bane]

Skiptrace

Nvm

[sly warren]

Clem, you can go jump in a lake if you don't like Team Fortress 2

[sharp kindle]

Secured the bag

[shadow bane]

ima be honest

that looks painful to use

[timber ridge]

vintage cherry op

[sharp kindle]

I’m not using it

Gonna desolder the switches

[rigid valve]

Vintage blacks

[sharp kindle]

Browns

[rigid valve]

Vintage browns

[split nimbus]

TF2 was fun, but basically every lobby is cheaters now

Much sadness

[sly warren]

Play on Uncletopia.

It's basically peak casual TF2

No Random Crits, No Random Spread, and no cheaters!

Sure, random crits are funny, but they kinda suck.

[sly warren]

I'm sorry you have that big of an order.

Just to have to make your own amp

Is there a PCB you are putting that all in?

[queen sigil]

how smooth

[little crater]

yeah, dude i bought the headphones from is sending me a board and some opamps for free

[queen sigil]

also how many switches

[sly warren]

Nice. How much was it all told?

[little crater]

headphones were 609

mouser order was 215

still need a few more parts though, im gonna spec out some fuses for certain parts of the board and build an enclosure

also need a female stax headphone connector

yes will be very fun, dunno what im gonna do about the enclosure tho

might have to do some 3d printing, and it may look like crap

[sly warren]

Jeez, 609 for some Estats that you still have to build more parts for.

[little crater]

i mean i could have just gotten a stax amp

[rigid valve]

But the a u d I o

[little crater]

but that would run me 700

300 to do it myself much better

[sly warren]

Estats are cool, but man some of them are straight wacky.

[little crater]

there are people who say they are on par with the stax SR-009s

of course i have no idea if this is the case, and they are relatively new

[sharp kindle]

Pretty smooth and 68

[queen sigil]

like comparable to what

[sharp kindle]

Less smooth than jwk but not “scratchy”

[hollow flower]

@little crater Yo you also building amps?

I’ve been building and designing for about 2-3 years now so if you want any help just ask me

[tight pulsar]

keep us posted about the amp, was planning on building a sangaku in the future

[sly warren]

He's building it for a pair of Estat headphones he bought

[hollow flower]

Yeah I know

I’ve built headphone amps, valve amps, if it amplifies a signal I built it

[little crater]

yeah, dude i bought the headphones from gave me a board and a schematic

so im going from there

[hollow flower]

Good luck!

[little crater]

thank

[hollow flower]

Is it a pcb?

[little crater]

yes

it looks v nice

[hollow flower]

You’ll have an easy time then

[little crater]

so thankfully the hard stuff is done for me

yeah lol

[hollow flower]

Way easier than putting together a PTP or turret board layout

Not as fun tho

[little crater]

next time i build an amp im def going do build one from the ground up from just a schematic

but that wont be for a loooong while

[eager burrow]

Are there any barebone pcbs with a volume knob?

[little crater]

i dunno, there really arent a whole lot of bare pcbs to begin with

the one im getting is this dudes own personal board design that hes got a few of

all the inputs and outputs are just solder points along the edge of the board

his looks like that, so i need to build my own case from something

[sly warren]

Just use a cardboard box

./s

[little crater]

heh

ive got access to some big 3d printers at my school

gonna 3d print some parts, sand em down n such

[sly warren]

Nice, when I was an Engineer for... one semester at my college, I had to build a 3D printer for my introduction to engineering class.

[little crater]

fun

[sly warren]

It ended up not working fully, and I sold it to some guy on my floor for like, 200 bucks.

They purposfully gimped the instructions and modded the printer to make it harder.

[little crater]

wow

[sly warren]

It originally was an off-the-shelf printer kit, but they made some modifications so you couldn't just look up better instructions.

It would have been awesome, it was dual extruder and I think self-levelling bed.

[little crater]

ohh, i see

[sly warren]

But, I never got both extruders to work, and I never could print more than just square objects.

Benchy failed like twice.

[little crater]

what kinds of things did they mess with?

[sly warren]

I honestly don't remember.

[little crater]

did they like, make you source a few of your own parts?

that they removed from the kit?

[sly warren]

I think they changed some parts, and made you cut and solder some wires that didn't need to be changed at all.

[little crater]

did ya learn anything?

lol

[sly warren]

That class instructors are jerks and that Engineering wasn't quite for me.

Though, I REALLY want to buy a 3D printer kit that isn't stupid to assemble, and 3D print stuff

But $$$

[little crater]

yee, one of my friends built a voron printer

but you source all the parts individually

and 3d print the rest on someone else 3d printer

[rigid valve]

Why is it blank for me

[little crater]

well, usually you already have a 3d printer when it comes time to build a voron bc all the parts together cost like 2200 dollars

its not blank for me

[rigid valve]

Oh now it’s fine

It was wack when I sent it

But ez close and reopen discord

[wanton burrow]

lol

[calm cobalt]

i got my new keyboard! i got thw corsair k55 and the harpoon mouse. it is a membrane keyboard, and a lot of people hate on membrane but i honestly love it. it feels super nice to type on and its quiet.

[red sail]

I want to get a usb mic but idk whether to go with the

Or the nzxt capsule

Thoughts?

[rigid valve]

if you want a mic with that aesthetic

Elgato Wave 1 or HyperX Solocast

[gleaming pond]

should I spring swap boba u4ts cause I want lighter

[rigid valve]

well spring swap is the only way to make it lighter

so yes

[gleaming pond]

is 60 gram bottom out to 68 grams a big difference, I'm assuming it is

[red sail]

But it looks so bad ngl

The wave is more expensive

By a bit

I hate that your right

[queen sigil]

@west hornet GIVE MIC TECH SUPPORT CONSIMER ADVICE HELP

[red sail]

Bc usually I would pick profomance over looks but ik what I want this build to look like and it wouldn't match

Do you have any other recommendations

[queen sigil]

get mic advice from ghosty

ghosty is mic person

[red sail]

Ok

Thanks to both of yall

[rigid valve]

the elgato looks the exact same as this imo

exept maybe taller

[red sail]

It's 200+tho

Ok

Yes

[rigid valve]

its 110USD

im in amazon

[red sail]

Nvm I looked on the site and it's 120 which is fine

Ok

Another thing

'-'

[west hornet]

If you gonna spend 100usd on usb mic id go a tad extra with elgato wave 1

[red sail]

Ok

Thanks

[red sail]

Speakers

[west hornet]

It has some great software and features for regular consumers

[red sail]

I'm not going to use them often bc of a headset

[rigid valve]

well

you got a budget in mind

?

[red sail]

But I like the looks of the Logitech z200

Plus they are dirt cheap

Oh ok

Like 80 ig

[red sail]

And they cover my cables

[red sail]

Or should I spend more

[sly warren]

100 bucks gets you Mackie Studio Monitors, and they are excellent

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083N8N7TB/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_M89R6CG3TF3VPCCNJ71D?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

[red sail]

Ok

Ima check it out

Oop

Got a virus

[floral lake]

it's amazon link

[red sail]

Ik

It's a joke

[floral lake]

ah

[red sail]

This is me being picky but the green line is literally the only reason I wouldn't get them

[rigid valve]

paint it ez

[sly warren]

You can also get them in White.

[red sail]

Really?

[sly warren]

Yes...

The Amazon link has them in White

The White ones also have Bluetooth,

But they are 119.00

[red sail]

^^

That's the problem

[sly warren]

You can also just paint the green part of the black ones.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[red sail]

Idk if I want to spend that much on something I will barely use

[red sail]

Good point

Ima check if it fits on my desk

[sly warren]

I mean, you might use the speakers more if they are good.

Just a thought.

[red sail]

True

But if I'm playing with friends tho
