[shadow bane]

But I never trust it

Just higher price crossed out and thn actual price put for the sale price

[daring zenith]

flicking always wacky and depends on the player

[shadow bane]

Happened to me for the laptop I tried

The only mice I've used are the g502 wired and wireless, and just regular work mice

Not g502

Jesus

I'm too tired

M602

Redragon

[hollow flower]

How wide is your hand?

[shadow bane]

3.5in~

I wasn't sure where to measure from

But somewhere around there

I like having the indent on the side for my thumb

[hollow flower]

Middle of your palm, from left to right not including your thumb

[shadow bane]

About 3.25in

[hollow flower]

If you’re fine with the honeycomb there’s the cooler master MM710

[shadow bane]

What about the mm720?

Oh nvm

[hollow flower]

Never tried it

Looks like a similar shape to my 💩 cyberpower mouse I used to use

[shadow bane]

I'm using mining profits to pay for it so price aside for now ig

[hollow flower]

Probably the same as the MM710 except a different shape

[shadow bane]

This looks about right too https://www.amazon.com/HyperX-Pulsefire-Raid-Software-Controlled-Customization/dp/B0828NDB43/ref=mp_s_a_1_16?dchild=1&keywords=palm+grip+mouse&qid=1633037918&sr=8-16

[hollow flower]

Look into the G pro x superlight then if price isn’t an issue

I’d go for a Pulsefire Haste instead of Raid

[shadow bane]

I dont want wireless btw

[daring zenith]

Why no wireless :(

[shadow bane]

I play val, that thing'd get launched

[hollow flower]

Good point

[daring zenith]

Huh

[hollow flower]

Raging

[shadow bane]

Actually

Now that I think about it

[daring zenith]

time to find video of me throwing my mow and it being fine?

[shadow bane]

I dont think I've ever broken a mouse, keyboard, monitor, controller, anything bc of rage

[hollow flower]

Then yeah go for the g pro x superlight

[daring zenith]

Assuming no budget that is

[hollow flower]

He said no budget

[daring zenith]

Logitech also makes a mousepad that charges wireless mice

[shadow bane]

Well

Within reason lol

[hollow flower]

That mousepad really isn’t that good

[daring zenith]

People often have a budget but think it's high enough to fit anything but it doesn't

[hollow flower]

Good point

[shadow bane]

I'm using mining profits to pay for it

[hollow flower]

But I think $150 is reasonable

[daring zenith]

It's very nice gimmick

[shadow bane]

I have 380$ in my mining account rn

[daring zenith]

The mousepad itself you can swap the mousepad, it goes on top of the pad that actually charges the mice

[shadow bane]

Was gonna save for a few years to pay for a pc upgrade, but ig the mouse semi falls under that umbrella

[hollow flower]

Bit of an exotic option but the Xtrfy MZ1-Zy's Rail is honestly one of the best mice I tried

But kinda ugly imo

Not a fan of the rgb on it

[shadow bane]

Ngl

That mouse looks like it is just asking for wrist pain

[hollow flower]

It’s a very unusual shape to say the least

The G pro superlight probably is the safer option

[shadow bane]

I'm liking the look of the hyperx pulsefire raid

...and the price

Lmao

[hollow flower]

Lmao

[shadow bane]

Is it a decent mouse?

[hollow flower]

It’s on the heavier side

https://www.amazon.com/HyperX-Pulsefire-Haste-Ultra-Lightweight-Programmable/dp/B08NSJFNSS

[shadow bane]

Yeah 4.5oz

[hollow flower]

What do you think of this?

[shadow bane]

WhAt AbOuT tHiS 7 oZ MoUsE

Roccat kone pro smthn

[hollow flower]

Lmaooooo

[shadow bane]

Didn't even think that'd exist

That looks alright

[split nimbus]

Chonky

[shadow bane]

I think I'll try it out and see how the honey comb feels

[hollow flower]

It’s not a bad mouse

The Kone Pro weighs about 66g

It’ll definitely be closer to what you’re used to

[shadow bane]

I just like having the indent thing as the thumb rest

[hollow flower]

I’d go for the kone pro then

[shadow bane]

Roccat kone pro "lightweight"

7oz

[timber ridge]

looking for a palm grip mouse ?

[hollow flower]

Wdym it ain’t 7oz

Where did you get 7oz from?

[shadow bane]

The amazon listing says 7oz

[rigid valve]

Vaxee moment

[shadow bane]

Is it wrong?

[hollow flower]

I think it means the entire thing including packaging

[timber ridge]

yup

[rigid valve]

Is vaxee actually the old Zowie guys because if it is then I will shill it constantly

[hollow flower]

Just the mouse is about 2.3oz

[timber ridge]

im p sure or some pro player

[rigid valve]

Ok

[timber ridge]

i think zowie ppl eft

[timber ridge]

left* then bam vaxee

[hollow flower]

Escaped from Tarkov?

Woah

[hollow flower]

Yeah that’s including packaging

[shadow bane]

Ohhhh

Ok

[hollow flower]

The mouse by itself is 2.3oz

[shadow bane]

I definitely like the shape then

I think I'll go with it

[hollow flower]

Yeah go for it

[shadow bane]

Wish I had gaming friends near me I could test mouses of lmao

[hollow flower]

Woah first time I helped someone I picked out a mouse

[rigid valve]

[shadow bane]

Sorry for being so picky lmfao

Ty for all the help

[hollow flower]

Don’t worry about it, mouse picking is all about being picky

[shadow bane]

Now I just gotta figure out how to pull a visa outta my mining account

Not a coinbase account or anything like that

Cuz the whole being 16 thing

[hollow flower]

Ask your parents to setup a coin base account for you

[shadow bane]

Eh, I also just like the software I use

[hollow flower]

What do you use?

[shadow bane]

I dont feel like learning how to use trex alone

A software called salad, I mine trex through it

Well

[rigid valve]

Where do you mine

[shadow bane]

Ethash using trex through the gui named salad

[rigid valve]

I’m trynna start but nicehash had a stroke and doesn’t work

Ok

[shadow bane]

App called salad ig

[shadow bane]

Same

[daring zenith]

Salad fun

[shadow bane]

I had like 8$ on nicehash but it decided to lock me outta my account

Which whatever

More so annoyed that I couldn't mine on it anymore

[daring zenith]

Just get visa gift card

[shadow bane]

I'm going to

I just wish they had amazon gcs other than 10$

Would make it easier

[daring zenith]

Iirc visa gift card costs less for each cost

[shadow bane]

Well

[daring zenith]

And visa gift card up to 200$ iirc

[shadow bane]

Bigger the gc the less the fee per 10$

[hollow flower]

I’d get a bunch of Amazon gift cards because you don’t need to pay an activation fee for them

[shadow bane]

So technichallt speaking yes

[shadow bane]

You don't have to for a visa either, not this way

[daring zenith]

No activation fee for visa either but yea

[hollow flower]

Oh not this way?

Nvm then

[shadow bane]

Yeah, but there's a 1$ fee for a 10$ gc

[daring zenith]

I've used like 200$ via visa gift cards on salad

[shadow bane]

A 10$ fee for a 200$ gc

[hollow flower]

Go for Visa then

[shadow bane]

Prolly will

I'll probably pull out a 100$ and buy the mouse and some credits on valorant or smthn

Idfk

[daring zenith]

@shadow bane as a tip, some services will make you pay a fee for using prepaid card, but you can link visa prepaid card to Paypal and pay via PayPal and use that prepaid card without fees they might charge

[shadow bane]

Ty

[shadow bane]

Oh right

Visas don't work rn

Nvm I was wrong

[queen sigil]

i got 50$ from salad

havent used it

[snow swift]

@daring zenith do you know of any subs that are pretty compact and cheap but still are decent?

Looking for one for my baby truck cause I have no bass in there rn with only 2 speakers

[daring zenith]

i no know

[snow swift]

O

Ok

[coral summit]

I'm thinking of buying a mod mic wireless for use with my Sennheiser HD600. Does anyone here have a mod mic? Would you think its a mic for just gaming and talking on discord? I currently have a cheap Lavalier Lapel Microphone that works fine, but I would like to have just my headphones cable. Thanks!

[rigid valve]

so from what I'm gathering you would prefer having a modmic type thing?

and yes modmic is not really great for anything more professional like music and podcasting

[sly warren]

The Modmic is... Meh.

It's... OK at best.

I'd go for a lav mic or a separate mic.

It has volume problems

I used to have a ModMic

[daring zenith]

modmic has also just became the name of any inline mic you add onto headphones without a mic nowadays

people will call like v moda boom pro a modmic

[rigid valve]

kekw

good mic if im being honest

especially for $30

[west hornet]

modmic is nice for convenience, not great sound quality but id say probably still beats a typical cheap headset mic.

[daring zenith]

yea boom pro is neat

[sly warren]

I personally went the route of buying a Samson Q2U and putting it on a boom arm.

[coral summit]

I would use the mic for just talking to friends while gaming and voice chat. I would prefer for it to be wireless if it's going to be on me or something that doesn't take too much space on my desk since I really don't have much.

[rigid valve]

that makes sense

i get that

[sly warren]

You can buy a boom arm that clamps TO the desk

Like how I have.

I don't know much about the ModMic Wireless though sadly.

I'm not much of a Wireless guy

[rigid valve]

the modmic wireless, as with a vast majority of wireless audio items, will have worse audio quality than basically every wired competitor at the price point
however, modmic has a very good reputation from what i've seen and i think it would be an absolutely fine choice for casual use.

[daring zenith]

oh yea wireless modmic makes sense if you really want that

It's also one of very few options

[rigid valve]

that is fair

[coral summit]

Yeah. Would most mics that clamp to the desk have good noice cancelation?

[daring zenith]

noise canceling is more software thing

[coral summit]

My AC makes a bit of noise

[sly warren]

The Samson Q2U does isolate a fair bit.

[daring zenith]

some mics pick up more background sound than others but cancelation is software

[coral summit]

Ah

[sly warren]

My A/C is behind me, it doesn't pick anything up

[coral summit]

Is it USB compatible?

[rigid valve]

yes

dynamic mics in general pick up a little less background

[coral summit]

I don't want to have to buy more audio stuff lol

[rigid valve]

from what i've seen

[sly warren]

It's USB

[coral summit]

Just bought a Schiit Modi 3+, Magni Heresy and the hd600s

[daring zenith]

but yea that's more condensor vs dynamic mic, q2u being dynamic picking up less background noise

[rigid valve]

noice

[daring zenith]

schiit is fun

[coral summit]

I see

[sly warren]

Why Heresy?

[rigid valve]

because the name is cool 😎

[sly warren]

But it's objectively worse than the regular magni...

[daring zenith]

would've expected just magni 3+ modi 3+ stack but eh

heresy performs better according to some reviewers

but according to others, worse.

[rigid valve]

honestly

[coral summit]

Well in the research I did it doesn't have barely any difference between them

[rigid valve]

honestly

[daring zenith]

it's close enough, both are good in general

[rigid valve]

the difference probably doesn't matter when driving 600s

[coral summit]

And I think they sound pretty good all together

[coral summit]

Yeah they're not very expensive headphones

[sly warren]

Is this your first pair of audiophile headphones?

[rigid valve]

also heresy looks cooler

[coral summit]

Yeah

[daring zenith]

heresy does look cool

[sly warren]

Because that's kinda going into the deep end.

[coral summit]

I only had 9500 beforr

[rigid valve]

600s cheap

sheesh

i wish i could say that

[sly warren]

Heresy looks identical to... the Black and Red Magni...

You can just buy a black and red magni

[rigid valve]

but

the name

is way cooler

[coral summit]

I mean compared to others it hurt when I bought it haha

[coral summit]

I could??

[daring zenith]

it ain't no he-1

that's for sure

[sly warren]

Yes.

And a black and red modi too

[coral summit]

I bought that one bc it was on stock when I bought it the regular Magni wasn't :c

[coral summit]

Huh didn't know

[sly warren]

I bought my Magni on B-Stock

So, it was cheaper

[coral summit]

I see

But well, I don't think I would've found any difference though...

[sly warren]

You know what my Magni and Modi are driving?

KSC75.

[coral summit]

?

Ahh lol

[rigid valve]

#overkill

[sly warren]

Honestly, it's underkill still.

[daring zenith]

lol

[sly warren]

KSC75 scale kinda wildly

[coral summit]

Do you have any other headphones?

[daring zenith]

I seriously doubt magni is underkill

[sly warren]

Ye, HE-X4, and a handful of IEMs

Oh, and Porta Pros too

[coral summit]

It was between the HD600 and the Sundaras

[rigid valve]

both good imo

[coral summit]

But I went Sennheiser bc of the overall quality

[rigid valve]

sundaras the more audiophile pick from what i've seen

[daring zenith]

but yea sundara and hd600 both good

[rigid valve]

sennheiser more of a known reputable brand

[coral summit]

I don't want to deal with crappy qc

[rigid valve]

preference imo

[coral summit]

Yeah

[sly warren]

Sundaras have great QC

[daring zenith]

it's just more familiar brand to most

[sly warren]

It's lower-end HiFiMan that has meh QC

HE-X4's have kinda poopy QC

[coral summit]

Well I might buy them later down the line

[rigid valve]

the fact that they changed the "this" emote kinda pisses me off lowkey

[coral summit]

Both have pros and cons

[sly warren]

I wouldn't bother with Sundaras if you have HD600

[daring zenith]

nice

[rigid valve]

ill jususe upvote instead

[sly warren]

Get Ananda pilled if you want HiFiMan Planars

[rigid valve]

fair

[coral summit]

What would be a good upgrade?

[rigid valve]

from 600s?

not a whole ton there

[sly warren]

Ananda

[rigid valve]

uh

ye anandas

[coral summit]

Obviously I'm not upgrading now soon but in the future

[rigid valve]

i think

[daring zenith]

did not realized snake oil made wood interconnects for magni/modi, real expensive tho
https://snakeoilsound.com/products/hardwood-mini-link-interconnect-cable-for-schiit-modi-magni-vali-stack-free-shipping-to-usa

[coral summit]

Y'know a couple of years or if something dies

[rigid valve]

use your 600s, if anything is lacking and you want something different that's the best way to get the most experience for your money imo

[coral summit]

Yeah I really like them

Oh wow those anandas look amazing

But expensive lol

[coral summit]

That looks very cool

I just have regular 1' RCA cables

[daring zenith]

schiit is just such a fun company

good name

[coral summit]

Yeah haha

If I upgrade something I'll probably stick to them

Their higher end dac and amps look really nice

[daring zenith]

oh yea

There's the Schiitr

I will visit that if I'm ever in the area

[coral summit]

Lmao

I saw that when I was looking into their stuff haha

[daring zenith]

they also have a coaster you can make into an amp

https://www.schiit.com/coaster

[coral summit]

Wait what?

I didnt know about that one

[sly warren]

Yeah, it's a mini tube amp

You can get the BoM and buy all the parts off the shelf.

[timber ridge]

tubes op with 6x0 lineup

[daring zenith]

they sell the pcb as a coaster

and they have a guide on how to make it into a tube amp

BUILD YOUR OWN HYBRID HEADPHONE AMP (OR, BETTER, USE IT AS A COASTER)

[coral summit]

Thats very cool

[timber ridge]

skiptrace you still upgrading ur audio stuff ?

[sly warren]

Maybe.

My next major upgrade is going to be ATH-R70X

[timber ridge]

i think i peaked

[sly warren]

R70X will probably be my peak.

Unless I come into a LOT of money.

[daring zenith]

found an image

[timber ridge]

i could use some biodynamics in my collection but def not a need

[sly warren]

I mean, peak Biodynamic is EMU Teak

[timber ridge]

if they ever release a cheaper option for like 300 ish i might buy, but not for 500

[coral summit]

Man that looks very cool

[timber ridge]

570 for a detachable cable is steep

[sly warren]

Just buy CAL SE if you ain't willing to buy EMU Teak

[timber ridge]

thats what im thinking

[daring zenith]

emu teak seems neat

[timber ridge]

but i hav k371 too, dunno how big the jump is in low end

[sly warren]

I don't have CAL SE, but it's on my radar.

[timber ridge]

feel like a smarter buy would be to get a zen dac instead for xbass

[sly warren]

As a fun can.

[timber ridge]

then i can get 2 dif sounding amps

idk about the v2 zen can but the older version and the amp whatever its named was a lot more fun sounding than my a50s

[rigid valve]

theres a place like 20 minutes away from me that sells tube amps and only tube amps

what should i get

[sly warren]

I... wouldn't buy a Tube Amp, but that's just me.

[rigid valve]

fair

[sly warren]

I think Chubes are a meme.

[rigid valve]

tube amps are split from what i've seen

some people hate them some people swear by them

[sly warren]

But, I also haven't heard a chube yet.

[rigid valve]

and some people are just indifferent

[timber ridge]

id only get tubes if i had a 6xx

[sly warren]

Yeah, IDK how the rest of my stuff would like tubes.

[timber ridge]

tubes is not the move for me

[rigid valve]

ok but why 6xx specifically

[timber ridge]

amp dependent

tubes is wonky

makes a fun sound experience

[sly warren]

The 6x0 series has some interesting characteristics that make them very pleasant to listen to with Tubes.

[split nimbus]

https://tenor.com/view/firefly-serenity-malcolm-reynolds-captain-tightpants-nathan-fillion-gif-4816189

Tube amps are are nice

Warm and cozy

I should get one to match my keyboard

[west hornet]

i want a tube amp but expensive and i already spent too much money today

[timber ridge]

jus today? what did u get lol

[west hornet]

spent like 700usd lol, bought a field recorder, upgraded from a trial version of software, then transferred some money elsewhere

[timber ridge]

ic

[west hornet]

recorder is going to be very nice to have though, gonna have some fun with that xD

[hollow flower]

Tube amps are a massive improvement over any solid state I’ve heard

There’s a certain warmth and crispness to them that you just don’t get with solid states

And you can always mess with your amps sound a bit by swapping tubes

[wanton burrow]

homerow do be nice for league

[calm cobalt]

The Schiit Vali 2 is a really good hybrid option, and it's only 120 bucks

[split nimbus]

Ngl, I just like the glow

[west hornet]

Lol

[glad yacht]

r70x kinda cursed

if you want HD 600 sound just buy HD 600

AD2K > R70x any day of the week

[sly warren]

R70X isn't cursed at all.

It's like, one of the only good headphones that Audiotechnica makes.

[split nimbus]

They definitely look kinda cursed

[wild jetty]

i got a 50$ redragon mechanical keyboard mouse thing

[floral lake]

That's probably crap lol

[wild jetty]

my brother Has had the near same damn thing for 5 years and it works perfectly

[floral lake]

Not quality, but the feel and such

[wild jetty]

I mean The Feel?

Im sure I will be fine Im using the key borad that came on my cheap laptop

Waiting for pc parts to come in

[wild jetty]

But It might be worse

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/qDtQzy/redragon-k582-ba-wired-standard-keyboard-with-optical-mouse-k582-ba

[floral lake]

Hm mot bad then

[split nimbus]

I used to have a redragon. It was definitely cheap

[floral lake]

It does use outemu red

[split nimbus]

Generally just had a wobbly hollow kinda feel. Not horrible though

I didn't notice anything until after I got a better keyboard

[wild jetty]

The best keyboard I have ever used Is the one on laptop or the poopy one in the school computer lab

[sly warren]

F

[wild jetty]

SOooo it'll sound like an upgrade

or a trashy amazon basics keyboard

[sly warren]

Probably not.

A real upgrade would be a Keychron

[wild jetty]

Can you link one?

if you dont m

mind

[rigid valve]

Nah redragon is an upgrade

Keychron stuff is obviously more of an upgrade but it’s more expensive

[wild jetty]

I was gonna say

I thought it would be other wise I wouldnt have yk bought it

[sly warren]

I've had a redragon board before, and... it was very blegh.

I'd rather have a quality membrane over a Redragon.

And that's saying something.

[wild jetty]

my brother got a membrane version of this and reccomended the mechanical

[sly warren]

I mean, a membrane redragon is going to be poop.

And a Mech one isn't going to be that much better.

[wild jetty]

A litte

little

Also should I get a headset

[sly warren]

No.

[wild jetty]

regualer audio from a monitor?

[sly warren]

No.

[wild jetty]

Nothing

?

[sly warren]

Do you have a Microphone already?

[wild jetty]

Nope

[sly warren]

I assume you live in the US?

[wild jetty]

Your assumptions would come out to be correct.

[rigid valve]

Headsets are fine

[sly warren]

Clem

Let me enlighten this person

plz

[rigid valve]

Skiptrace is gonna shill KSC75X

Which is completely fine

Best headset you can buy

But if you think it looks stupid as many people do

You have other options

[sly warren]

Fork

It's OOS...

[wild jetty]

I also dont wanna spend TONS

[sly warren]

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

These would be 25 bucks

If they were in stock...

[rigid valve]

Other option is Koss GMR which is $60

[wild jetty]

maybe Ill get one nearer to christmas

[sly warren]

eew

[rigid valve]

Kek

[sly warren]

Koss GMR not good

[rigid valve]

Koss GMR good

[sly warren]

Not really.

[rigid valve]

In what way are they not good

[sly warren]

The Mic is thin, and the audio itself is just boomier PortaPros

[rigid valve]

Uh

[sly warren]

Which PortaPros are already pretty boomy and not great.

[rigid valve]

Wut

[wild jetty]

How do u get techie rank

[rigid valve]

Yeah yeah yeah say what you want skip

But GMR are a good recommendation and I will stand by that until someone inevitably bans me for saying something stupid

[rigid valve]

Be smort

And never ask for it

[wild jetty]

I was curious

lol

[rigid valve]

Yeah but if u want techie

Then never ask for techie

That’s how you don’t get techie

[wild jetty]

I didnt ask for it?

[rigid valve]

Ok

I’m giving advice

My advice is

Don’t ask for techie

Here's my starter kit for dirt cheap high quality gamer audio.

[rigid valve]

“Gamer audio”

[sly warren]

48.48 before tax

The KSC75's are probably going to blow your mind with how good they sound. And the pop voice mic is better than just about any headset mic i've ever used.

[wild jetty]

DOnt be mad but I had a gift card and with that I unknowingly bought the WORST headset for 40$

wanna guess

it broke in a week

[wild jetty]

what do u think?

[sly warren]

What do you mean what do I think?

[wild jetty]

what would you guess I bought

[sly warren]

Probably some cheap chinese knockoff.

[sly warren]

I just recommend watching this video

[wild jetty]

mabey

[sly warren]

I love how Crinacle has a pair of KSC75X, that have been MMCX Modded, completely defeating the point of being KSC75X

[merry sundial]

Asking how people get the techie rank is 100% a legitimate question

[wild jetty]

I am quite new

[daring zenith]

Asking how to become techie is a legitimate question, but people sometimes confuse those questions for people who are just asking to have the rank.

[shadow bane]

@hollow flower the mouse came today, it feels great. just gotta get the dpi right now lol

also whats horizontal titl speed?

[hollow flower]

That’s great!

[shadow bane]

only complaint is its a bit small, but ill get used to it eventually. atleast the scroll wheel works now lmao

not like the overall size, just the left click area bc i butterfly click

[tight pulsar]

you give tech

[true depot]

I'm in the market for a new keyboard. Which is better, Cherry MX Red, Khail Blue, Membrane, or Plunger style?

[wanton burrow]

mx red but tbh bother on getting yourself a leopold

[split nimbus]

Yes

It all really depends on your personal preference

[sly warren]

I wouldn't buy a membrane board.

Personally

And I'm not as much of a fan of Cherry switches. They somehow feel less good than most Gateron switches.

[split nimbus]

Personally I prefer cherry reds to Gateron. They seem smoother

For browns I'd say Gaterons though

[timber ridge]

might be bc your experience with them was in a gamer kb or something

[sly warren]

Or my first experience was with Browns

[timber ridge]

light tactiles are a hit or miss

[rigid valve]

Cherry also scratchier stock imo

[gleaming pond]

cherry switches are very scratchy

yet somehow in an odd way inconsistently scratchy

some of my mx reds are very scratchy while others not so much

only thing I find good about cherry switches are the ones with nylon housings

[wanton burrow]

cherry is known to be batch dependent scratchy, some brekaing in for a week or two should do the job

[sharp kindle]

also rgb cherry mega cringe

[true depot]

What's the deal with the Khail blues? Are they any good?

[placid smelt]

Gpro super light or model o?

[split nimbus]

If you like clickey, yes

[sly warren]

G Pro Superlight probably has better QC than the Model O

But... Are you willing to pay nearly 200 dollars for a mouse?

[split nimbus]

I'd go model o, their both very similar and the model o is much cheaper

QC issues are fine, if you're worried about it buy it off Amazon and if it's bad have them replace it

[sly warren]

Model O as far as I know doesn't properly exist on Amazon?

[neon root]

its on amazon, just not at retail price for the most part

qc isnt an issue if youre going wired model o, wireless model o i think still has some qc issue but glorious is pretty good at fixing that kind of stuff for customers

gonna come down to what youre willing to pay and what switches you want since they use different switches and also the feeling of the mice

superlight has some nicer, heavier?, stronger plastic vs glorious which uses kinda cheap plastic

superlight also has double clicking issues at times

if wired model o, then go with that imo, if wireless model o vs superlight, then again, just up to you, both are good, me personally id say try and hope that the superlight goes on sale

[median mirage]

Hey anyone know what to look for in a good kvm? I have a 49" 2k 120hz gaming monitor that I want to share between two pc. Pc has a dp 1.4 and the laptop has hdmi but it also has a dock with displayport. Any help would be great

[placid smelt]

What 60% gaming keyboards would you guys recommend

[split nimbus]

Have you used any mechanical keyboards before?

[placid smelt]

Yeah I currently have a hyper x

[split nimbus]

Cool. Looking for something a bit smaller?

[placid smelt]

Yeah and I don’t like my blue switches anymore 😂

[split nimbus]

Blues are one of those things that you pretty much either love or hate lol

What sort of switch are you looking for?

[placid smelt]

I don’t know much about switches tbh

I want something quieter that I know as for feel idk

[split nimbus]

Okay. There are three main types that you can pick from. Clickies, like the blues you have now, are usually loud and have a very obvious tactile click. Tactiles tend to be quieter noise wise but still have a noticable "bump" as you press them. Linears are usually the quietest and are a smooth and even press from top to bottom

For gaming I'd usually recommend a linear or maybe a light tactile switch

[placid smelt]

Ye I feel like I’d want the linear smooth switches

What type of switches are brown?

[split nimbus]

Tactiles

Depending on what brand of browns they range from light tactile to moderate tactile

[placid smelt]

What switches would come under smooth and quiet

[split nimbus]

For linears from the "vanilla" switch types you have reds and blacks

Blacks don't show up that much, they're basically just reds that take a little more force to press

[placid smelt]

I was thinking about buying a ducky one 2 mini

[split nimbus]

Ducky is overpriced imo

Have you looked at keychron?

[placid smelt]

Yee it is kinda pricey

[placid smelt]

No never heard of them

[split nimbus]

They're a pretty nice alternative. Probably one of the best brands for an intro to mechanical keyboards

Good build quality and they have qmk and hotswap options

Qmk ones are more expensive ofc

[placid smelt]

Thanks I’ll have a look at them

[steep pelican]

da heck

[sly warren]

Wat

[thick tartan]

looks fire

[sly warren]

It does

I'd buy one

Especially a White one

[split nimbus]

I'm interested

PWM3389 sensor, 68g

Comparable dimensions to the model o, a few mm bigger towards the top though

[west hornet]

too holey for me

[sly warren]

Not enough holes IMO

Also, why no hexagons...

Hexagons are the bestagon

[sly warren]

Hexagons stronk. I bet you could make standard mice lighter with a "honeycomb panel" design for the main structure. And stronger too

[daring zenith]

Stronk and fits nicely

But keychron mice very interesting

[split nimbus]

For all intents and purposes I don't think there'd be that big of a difference between rectangles and hexagons in mice

[neon quartz]

rnzl#3491 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[calm cobalt]

Anyone recommend me a good budget 100% keyboard (mechanical or not, <$100) that doesn't have any ugly light zones (either per key or no rgb would be okay), good customization and software, with dedicated media controls. I come from a laptop, and prefer something like a slightly harder red switch or cherry silent but without that weird bump in the middle..

[shadow bane]

I love the keychron k4 that I have

Idk if it has the dedicated media controls

[calm cobalt]

Thanks, will check it out

[little crater]

dude in my class has porta pros around his neck

[daring zenith]

Yea, but at least I am referring to this as somewhat of a meme, I assume Skiptrace is too
https://youtu.be/thOifuHs6eY

[sly warren]

Yes, I am referring to that, but I also think that it might have some effect on real structure stuff

[gleaming pond]

huh

thats cool

[bleak ember]

dont hexagons take the most space out of a surface in comparison to all other shapes in a pattern or something for weight reduction?

[white flame]

They're the strongest complex shape, that much I know. Second to triangles I think.

[neon root]

my keychron q1 should be here on the 8th after a 2 week delay

[timber ridge]

ooo nice

wat mods you plan on doing ?

[neon root]

foam, band aids, lube, films

dont plan on switching out stabs

[bleak ember]

ahh

[bleak ember]

Well im pretty sure this is why so many people use hexagons in 3d printing then

strongest while taking the least filament most likely

[timber ridge]

i recommend using polyfill over foam

[neon root]

This stuff?

[timber ridge]

ye

itll help break up the sound more and itll keep the flex

and if you really want, kbd switch pads really help with the ping also but the polyfill by itself should be fine

[neon root]

Aighty. I’ll see if there’s some at wal mart or target or if not then just order some

[timber elk]

https://www.newegg.com/p/1W7-00BS-00039?Item=9SIAFSTEWF9850

[gleaming pond]

lmao

[wanton burrow]

leopold fc980m

worth the little morepush in the budget if you're willing

[steep pelican]

Can anyone recommend me a good modem

[rigid valve]

Just get fiber ez

[steep pelican]

bruh

[rigid valve]

[steep pelican]

its a situation where the wifi is included through hoa so we cant change it

[sharp void]

buy a whole roll of fiber

[steep pelican]

@daring zenith do you have modem recommendations

[daring zenith]

modem sadly no

[white flame]

https://www.netgear.com/home/wifi/modems/cm2000/

[steep pelican]

Thanks, I got one already actually

I didn't need one thats super expensive

because its going to be at my family's vacation home/grandma's place of residence

[white flame]

Oh well you can get any run of the mill Motorola for that

[steep pelican]

do you got any mid range router recommendations

[white flame]

Tp link archer? Most models are decent price /performance and good range

[steep pelican]

Thanks

My mom is going to help my grandma move and the security camera guy said there wasnt a modem or router and my mom was panicking lol

[white flame]

That's not a huge problem, maybe a $150 problem. No need to panic.

[steep pelican]

https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-WiFi-AX3000-Smart-Router/dp/B07YMFZ28Q/ref=sr_1_3? @white flame this look good?

[white flame]

Yeah that should be fine for average users

[steep pelican]

Ok thanks

[sly warren]

Tplink doesn't make modems

You were using the wrong term Ness

You were looking for a Router, not a Modem

Modem is what turns the Cable into Internet. Then you need a Router to route packets from the Modem to the Client Devices.

[daring zenith]

(the message before the one you replied to was asking for router reccomendation)

[sly warren]

I saw the 2 terms being used interchangeably. You could also buy a Combo box from Arris

Kill 2 birds, 1 stone

[white flame]

It was 2 separate requests, not both being used for the same thing

[rigid valve]

🍿

[sly warren]

... That's confusing as fork

Make the separate requests more defined.

[white flame]

He wanted a modem, then a router. That's all

[sly warren]

He said he needed a modem, and then a router, my assumption was to be used in the same place.

[rigid valve]

wut

[rigid valve]

dude just

read better

[sly warren]

Because that's like, the most common use for a modem and router...

[rigid valve]

where does this say modem

[sly warren]

Further up he asks about Modems.

I thought he was confused on what does what.

[white flame]

A lot of people prefer separate units, that way it's easier to upgrade or replace later

[sly warren]

Because most people just use the Modem from the cable company.

Oh, I definitely prefer separate units.

[white flame]

That was the problem, they don't have one

[sly warren]

???

How?!?

Did they just... Not pay for it?

[white flame]

.

[sly warren]

Did they not add internet service to the new location?

[rigid valve]

my man neglected to read the entire discussion and then tried to hop in didnt he

[sly warren]

No

I read the whole thing, and it didn't make sense.

[rigid valve]

then read better

ez

[steep pelican]

There was an existing account already because its HOA provided

[sly warren]

I couldn't read it better.

[rigid valve]

then try harder

[sly warren]

So... Then why is there no modem and router?

[steep pelican]

the people moving out took theirs with them i would guess

[sly warren]

If the HOA is providing internet, they should also provide the hardware to use the internet.

I'd take it up with the HOA

Instead of spending like, 200 bucks on Grandma's internet

[white flame]

Personally I'd avoid talking to them at all costs lol

[rigid valve]

HOAs are inflammatory af

never worth talking to

ever

e v e r

[steep pelican]

Yeah my parents dont care enough to try to talk to the HOA

[rigid valve]

the only good HOAs are like the ones at the fancy gated neighborhoods

[sly warren]

I mean, I agree, but... Your paying your HOA Fees...

[steep pelican]

200 bucks to save a bunch of time is a no brainer for them

[sly warren]

Which likely include the box

So...

[white flame]

Personal units are better than any ISP stock unit anyway

[sly warren]

Yes, but does grandma really need a 200 dollar modem and router setup?

[steep pelican]

At some point time becomes worth more than money

[sly warren]

Like, I'm all for owning your own gear.

But...

At the same time, your now liable if the equipment fails.

And then grandma gets to complain at you

Tech Support is also time later on.

[rigid valve]

which isn't a big deal

[sly warren]

When grandma can just complain at the HOA when her internet box isn't working.

[rigid valve]

i mean i would argue that if life went well then grandma can get whatever she wants

[steep pelican]

Talking to the HOA would probably take more than a couple hours if we were to actually try to get a modem and router from them. 200 dollars is worth less than 4-5 hours for my parents

[rigid valve]

HOAs are something I would absolutely shell money out to avoid

they nasty

[sly warren]

I mean, I'd just slap a wholeass "If I don't get this in the next day I'll just stop paying my HOA fee, and call some authorities that you aren't providing the amenities I pay for"

[rigid valve]

you apparently have never dealt with an HOA have you

[steep pelican]

You have to take into account that my parents are the type to buy first class tickets for the main purpose of getting through security faster.

[rigid valve]

i mean

i dont disagree

[sly warren]

I have, the last one we had B'd about us having our cars on our driveway when it was over the sidewalk part of our driveway

[rigid valve]

why would you not just be in the driveway

thats so stupid

[sly warren]

Too many cars

We had 4 cars

[rigid valve]

why

[sly warren]

2 Miatas, my mom's truck, and my car.

[rigid valve]

ok but

why

[sly warren]

Let's see... I can't drive a Stick, so I couldn't drive my Dad's Miata. My mom needs a truck for her Horse, and my mom also drove a Miata to work for fuel efficiency. And then my car, because I needed an Automatic.

But the Miatas got flooded in Harvey at our new at the time house.

And it made me sad.

[steep pelican]

i need help, my moondrop sparks are pairing seperately as two different devices

[sly warren]

Uhhh... That's... Weird.

Never heard of that one before.

[steep pelican]

they are going though many stages of different weird light configurations

[steep pelican]

Finally figured it out lol

they listed what is basically factory reset as binaural repairing

kinda annoying

[little crater]

headphone stand and amp case

this is like rev 3

also still need to figure out the top part of it

but i need to test fit the headphones to take measurements first

also here's what rev 2 looked like after I cannibalized it for measurements

[west hornet]

I thought this guy only did photo and video editing videos wow https://youtu.be/YgpGAXUzA20

[little crater]

yes, i am merely an autodesk inventor object irl

[steady heart]

Which one should I buy?

Logitech G305 LightSpeed
Lt G502 HERO High performance
Lt G603 LightSpeed
Lt G403 Hero

I am very indecisive

[daring zenith]

orochi another option, maybe like model o too

but those vary a lot in grip

[digital anchor]

Anyone know of a universal docking station that can connect both a Dell XPS and HP ProBook to peripherals (monitor, keyboard, and mouse)?

[white flame]

KVM switch is what you're looking for

[digital anchor]

I was looking at the https://www.newegg.com/p/1DJ-00Y9-00002 but I wasn't clear that plugging in my laptops by HDMI to the KVM switch would work the same. Sorry if it's a stupid question, but does the HDMI or USB port work like that in laptops for 2-way traffic, sending inputs to the laptop from the peripherals, not just data out to the monitors? I couldn't tell from the product description if that would work the way I'm thinking it would.

I also saw this one: https://www.newegg.com/p/1DJ-00RG-00007 but it looks like it only has 1 HDMI output, so it wouldn't work for my multiple monitors.

Any recommendations for a good KVM switch for 2 laptops, a PC, and 2 monitors?

[steep pelican]

The way that the KVM switch i have works is there is a usb-c port for one device which takes video output and allows the peripherals to control it, and the hdmi output has an hdmi cord for video and a regular usb cord to plug in for the peripherals

[west hornet]

Ayyy finally arrived

[steep pelican]

Nice

[west hornet]

test recording, and i know the playing is really bad i looked at the sheet music for only 1 or 2 days xD just to test sound quality

sound effect sample

[daring zenith]

Zoom

Sounds fine

[west hornet]

eventually i will get better positioned recording but my sister keeps putting decoration on my piano 😠

[daring zenith]

Halloween piano

[steep pelican]

@west hornet what piece are you working on

I got a new piano teacher that actually gives me repertoire so I'm playing an adapted version of Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2

[west hornet]

Thats a fun song

Im working on rachmaninoff prelude op3 no2

That recording was chopin ballade no1

[steep pelican]

cool

[steep pelican]

Its interesting that now that I enjoy what I'm playing I actually am learning pieces quite fast

[west hornet]

Ye its definitely a lot easier when you enjoy the piece

I kinda want my teacher to pick out more pieces for me im really enjoying the rach piece she chose

[gleaming pond]

ballade

no.1

[gleaming pond]

how long have you been playing the piano?

[west hornet]

Almost 2 years

Ill get another recording of a song ive actually been working on eventually xD

[gleaming pond]

even if it is just the first minute thats not bad for someone who has only been playing for 2 years

chopin ballades are pretty hard

[west hornet]

Thank you I thought while im practicing my pieces for lesson and recital i can try at least a little bit of ballade no1 because i love so much. I will try to print out the pages one by one as i go through, maybe send some progress recordings every once in a while

[gleaming pond]

I would love to hear the whole thing one day

[west hornet]

Ill get there eventually mighht be a while but ill do it one day

[gleaming pond]

I mean most people have been playing for 6 -7 years when they start it

[west hornet]

But for now i go back to work waiting to go home to my keys

[steep pelican]

Me with 7 years over here and worse than ghosty

[hollow flower]

Yo I’m working on that for guitar

My own neoclassical version but close enough

[steep pelican]

To be fair I started at the age of 8 and none of my piano teachers ever pushed me

[steep pelican]

oh sick, im curious how that works because a lot of the parts rely on the big chords underneath along with the melody

[hollow flower]

That’s the beauty of multitracking

[steep pelican]

oh that makes more sense lol

[hollow flower]

And if I do it live, I have another person that can play the chords or I just play the rhythm and melody finger style

[steep pelican]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bok9LV0HQ1A this guy is actually kinda crazy

[hollow flower]

Finger style I mostly do for Chopin

Chopin’s ballads are truly something

I love how I joined my school’s jazz band just to get a guitar solo

[gleaming pond]

people are different. And if you started young they won't force too much onto you.

[gleaming pond]

all very difficult

[steep pelican]

Yeah, I think ive probably progressed further in cello skill in 3 years than I did with piano in 7

[gleaming pond]

but very good pieces

[gleaming pond]

well if you learned some things about music when learning the piano they don't have as much to teach you cello wise before you can play

[hollow flower]

No1 and 4 aren’t that difficult imo

[gleaming pond]

yeah i guess

but still far from beginner

[hollow flower]

Yeah they’re definitely no beginner pieces

[gleaming pond]

no.3 is pretty hard iirc

[hollow flower]

Only thing that made them difficult for me is to keep the feel of them alive in my style

[gleaming pond]

I never thought of hungarian rhapsody on guitar

[gleaming pond]

wdym

[steep pelican]

hard to make some pieces still sound elegant on guitar

[hollow flower]

Basically i play neoclassical on guitar

[gleaming pond]

oh wait I forgot guitar

[hollow flower]

And it’s hard to actually get it from sheet music to a guitar arrangement

To get a smooth yet sustaining crisp type of lead sound I had to make my own amp since I couldn’t really get anything like it out of stuff I already had

[gleaming pond]

oh yeah thats true. having pieces arranged from orchestra from piano isn't hard but arranged from piano to guitar is pretty hard and uncommon

[hollow flower]

I mostly wanted to do Chopin’s pieces because I’m Polish and almost all of them just resound with me if you know what I mean

[gleaming pond]

I didn't know you were polish

[hollow flower]

Really?

[gleaming pond]

nope

[hollow flower]

Well now you know

[west hornet]

Lol the middle of the prelude im doing i start to learn how wacky rach can be, my teacher always yell at me that my hands are too big but there are still a few places I can’t reach for how the score is written

[gleaming pond]

chopin wrote a lot of music based of polish dances ltoo

[steep pelican]

I knew you were polish and I am not on this server much anymore lol

[gleaming pond]

isn't having big hands the rachmaninoff way

lol

[west hornet]

Hehe

[steep pelican]

whats your reach

[hollow flower]

Use the feet lol

[steep pelican]

octave plus what

[west hornet]

Umm maybe octave plus 2 or 3 if i want to break hand maybe? My teacher have smol hand lol

I think last i checked i can get about from middle c to e

[hollow flower]

I always wanted to play piano

[gleaming pond]

forget about how big your hands are for rachmaninoff. You now need more fingers

[west hornet]

Me too

Lol i saw that meme

[hollow flower]

Chernobyl, that’s how

[gleaming pond]

same

[steep pelican]

twoset moment

[gleaming pond]

yes

was in lingling40hrs

[hollow flower]

Like I know every key on the piano but I don’t even have a piano to play

[gleaming pond]

I just want to play an intrument

[hollow flower]

Then there’s the whole story of hand coordination

[west hornet]

Get digital

[hollow flower]

I’m thinking of getting an 88 key midi

[gleaming pond]

I know where a - g is on piano but then idk the rest

[steep pelican]

it just repeats

[gleaming pond]

like the sharps and flats and stuff

[gleaming pond]

yeah I know that

[hollow flower]

Sharps/flats are the black keys

[gleaming pond]

right is sharp left is flat?

[steep pelican]

yes

[hollow flower]

Yes

[steep pelican]

c sharp = d flat

[hollow flower]

Yep

[gleaming pond]

hm

[west hornet]

Get yamaha p125

[steep pelican]

e sharp = f

[gleaming pond]

well before I do any piano things I need to know how the hell to read sheet music

[hollow flower]

I’m thinking midi because it’ll help me overall with recording, and also since I’m going away to college

[west hornet]

Just read

All the clefs

[hollow flower]

Every good boy does fine, and FACE

All you need to know

[steep pelican]

my dad is also a guitarist and loves his midi piano for production

[hollow flower]

[steep pelican]

I can read like 3/4 really good and 1 ok ish

[gleaming pond]

time signature is like the only things I know what it is on sheet music

also did we all forget this is peripherals

[rigid valve]

peripherals is general for gigachads

[gleaming pond]

music channel when

[steep pelican]

peripherals is basically peripherals and music chat

[gleaming pond]

wait no it would just be people spamming brett's lofi

[hollow flower]

A lot of peripherals technically can be considered music related

[west hornet]

Ive read 6/8 before but i dont remember lol

[hollow flower]

Adagio is easily one of my favorite classical pieces to play

[gleaming pond]

4/4 is most common time right?

[hollow flower]

Yep

[gleaming pond]

what is that?

[hollow flower]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_eLU5W1vc8Y

[gleaming pond]

hm, I'll give it a listen

[steep pelican]

My cello concerto is in 12/8 and its actually kinda painful to read just because of all the stupid quadruplets

[gleaming pond]

12/8

hmmmmmmm

[hollow flower]

Damn 12/8

[gleaming pond]

which cello concerto

[steep pelican]

Lalo

[gleaming pond]

oh k

[west hornet]

I remember the piece i did in band that was 6/8 had one really annoying part that made the counting really bad, i dont remember how you call it

12/8 sound nasty

[steep pelican]

In orchestra I'm playing Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring (Bach) and its in 9/8

[west hornet]

Time for work again 😦

[steep pelican]

its basically played in 3/4 but they made it more complicated so the violins can do stuff

[hollow flower]

I’m trying to write a jazz solo that I can also show off during

[gleaming pond]

thats cool

[hollow flower]

It’s hard because it needs to get approved by the conductor

And he doesn’t want other kids to feel bad if one person is a lot better than everyone else

[gleaming pond]

But, having one person who's better should motivate them to become better or something

[steep pelican]

I wish i could play my concerto with my orchestra but the orchestra part is really boring

[hollow flower]

Ikr

It’s stupid if you ask me

[gleaming pond]

Like for example if I was good at violin and another violinist in the orchestra who has been playing for around the same time as me composes a piece and its really good I'm going to want to compose something of my own

[hollow flower]

The other part about it is that I’m the only guitarist

[gleaming pond]

Even so the others could try and make a good piece of their own

[steep pelican]

I haven't gotten here yet but my teacher calls it the not fun noodly part

[gleaming pond]

noodly

[steep pelican]

its very fast

[hollow flower]

Oh that’s not bad

[gleaming pond]

really do be like noodles tho

[hollow flower]

For guitar it actually doesn’t seem that bad, piano on the other hand…

[gleaming pond]

seems like a nightmare

seems like its gonna be bad too on the cello

not seems

it is

probably

[hollow flower]

On guitar it’s a simple sweeping exercise

[gleaming pond]

what the

[steep pelican]

https://youtu.be/7TnzouRZjRo?t=732 doubt watch the speed tho

i put time stamp

[hollow flower]

Yeah for guitar that isn’t bad

[steep pelican]

im practicing in general 1

[gleaming pond]

when your switches expire

[steep pelican]

Musical instruments be like:

Cello thats more than 3x the cost of your PC

[gleaming pond]

but instruments can require bending wood under high heat and stuff

and woods

can change price a lot

[queen sigil]

mmm 4000$ trombone, 4500$ marching baritone 5400$ bass trombone

[gleaming pond]

then you have expensive violins

sometimes 10,000,000 dollars

[queen sigil]

well orchestra is for weirdos

so who cares

[gleaming pond]

well for Stradivarius ones at least

[steep pelican]

yeah my low mid range cello is 4k

[west hornet]

Instrument > pc

[steep pelican]

College level cello is like 10-25k

not including bows which are like 5-10k

[gleaming pond]

w h a t

[steep pelican]

Quoting my teacher: "the bow is as important or more important than the cello" his back up bow is 5k and primary bow is 8k

[gleaming pond]

when the bows cost as much as a midrange instrument

[west hornet]

My 7k piano

[rigid valve]

Ok but

Why

[gleaming pond]

gonna sound like garbage on 5 dollar bow

[steep pelican]

Quality of bow hair and wood and you need to find a bow that is good balance for you

[hollow flower]

And I thought 3k on a guitar was expensive

[gleaming pond]

so basically 5-10k is where you find the most options?

[rigid valve]

I feel like ness is secretly rich as all hell

[steep pelican]

nah theres lots of options cheaper but i belive that would be about the range of the price of the bow you would want to pair with a cello that expensive

[gleaming pond]

oh k

1500 dollar cello + included bow?

[steep pelican]

nah Im not that rich, my parents are moderately wealthy

[split nimbus]

He is, it isn't a secret

[rigid valve]

Wrong reply moment?

[split nimbus]

Yeah

[rigid valve]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[split nimbus]

Mobile bad

[rigid valve]

Fax

[split nimbus]

I want to reply to the message under my finger when I start the long press, not when I finish it

[steep pelican]

Basically my parents will spend money on my hobbies but I have to buy everything else I want

For example, my parents could afford to buy me the newest phone every gen but they don't

[split nimbus]

That sounds reasonable for a lower-mid tier cello

[steep pelican]

Yeah for learning thats reasonable. Renting might be better if you are just starting tho.

[split nimbus]

Definitely. If you aren't sure if you're going to stick with it rent a cheaper instrument

[gleaming pond]

no im just asking not planning on buying

yet

maybe I might consider learning in the future

Cello is fun. I need to get mine out again at some point

It's just a cheapy, but I still enjoy playing it

[atomic oyster]

I like their packaging

For a cheap switch it was packaged well

[daring zenith]

akko fun

[hollow flower]

Lmao my Durock T1s just came in a giant bag

[daring zenith]

same, and I like that bag

tbf bag is more useful as you can bag lube with it if you want

but akko packaging nice

[atomic oyster]

You can also just get some ziplock bags lol

[solar nebula]

should i get the razer viper ultimate

or the viper mini\

[neon root]

up to you since theyre different mice

wireless, bit heavier, bit bigger vs a smaller lighter wired mouse

both are good though but wouldnt recommend getting a viper ultimate at retail, wait for it to be on sale if you plan on getting it

[atomic oyster]

Anyone have experience with the Razer Orochi v2?

I have a g305 I stuck some foil in it so it would accept AAA batteries but was wondering if it would be a comfortable

[rigid valve]

i think skippy has one

uh

i know a couple people with one

haven't had a chance to use one

it's supposed to be an extraordinary mouse

[bleak ember]

G305 super awesome

getting a turntable for 150

it also regrettably comes with a ton of other crap

but thats fine lol

well the speakers also look promising, so at least i get to replace my current garbo ones

[thick tartan]

razer orrochi is really good

especially if you had a g305

its better in every way but it also depends on your hand size and grip type for sure

[west hornet]

Mist be nice, i always had to pay everything myself, pc, laptop, piano, etc

[steep pelican]

I mean any electronics I have to buy

[glass bear]

[split egret]

[gritty kettle]
