scroll wheel has an actual use tho
and when it comes to superlight mice or youre advertising it as a really light mouse, id rather not with the rgb even if it weighs less than a gram
logitech and final mouse know this which is why they dont put rgb on their light mice and im happy razer did the same for the orochi even though its not advertised to be competing against those type of mice

just realized the mouse feet on the keychron mouse 
sly warren
It's better than the Model O
sly warren
There's more square footage of pad on the Keychron than the Model O
The entire back has feet on the Keychron
The Model O is just 4 feet, one in each corner.
Honestly, why isn't the entire bottom of every mouse a glide surface?
Just skip having feet entirely
neon root
eh. even though its 4 feet theyre at least design in a way to cover a decent amount. the top/front feet is whats getting me for the keychron mouse
sly warren
Ok, fair enough
neon root
having a glide surface vs feet would pose problems assuming you mean just the bottom of the mouse be smooth
replacing them/bad glide surface
sly warren
Yeah, just make the entire bottom of the mouse be one big foot
Except the sensor obviously.
neon root
friction, not all companies are gonna be able to make really good glide surfaces, as i said replacing an entire bottom of a mouse
neon root
then you pose the problem of not having enough friction

That's the problem of the person using it.

not really to an extent

if I should use different foam
or leave it the same

at least the gaskets actually act like a gasket mount

just tape the pcb or maybe stuff if with cotton with the thin stock foam if cotton/poly-fill would actually decrase the hollowness

is it me or the nixdork u4t sounds similar to normal boba u4t
wanton burrow
at least the gaskets actually act like a gasket mount
i mean, q1's gasket is different from what gasket is meant to be. it's just a mount that isolates the plate & pcb from the case

tight pulsar
if you need foam to fix a board it's probably not a good board
rigid valve
While I don’t disagree
It’s not easy to design a metal case to not need foam
And usually when you do you end up sacrificing something else
tight pulsar
then don't make it metal
also the "original" idea for gaskets on early otd and mainly 356mini was to get a better fit with the sandwich case design/plate design with no screws on plate and it would rattle so they use an oring to reduce vibrations a little
356n was the first otd to use a oring but people mainly talk about mini so i don't really know much about the n but from what i've heard it was more to give flex for tactiles (also why it had a 1.2mm cem3 pcb and was the first otd with pc haf plate option)

ok now i am off work, so first you need a keyboard obviously, weighted is preferred, but unweighted can be fine to start out, first you would want to learn the notes obviously, I wouldn't put stickers on the keys with the names of the notes like my sister does lol. finding middle c and the pattern of the notes, you also want to know where the C's are on a staff in sheet music to help find other notes. you can start with an easy piece ex: i think i did helicopter ride or star wars as my first piece. having all the fingerings listed in sheet music is important for learning
watching vids on fingering, technique, basic music theory can all help
lots of good resource online

definitely familiarize with notes on keyboard, you can take time reading sheet music (which i would recommend vs looking at "tutorials" which is basically the synthesia stuff) but someone should be able to name a note and you find on keys relatively quickly
that ok, my teacher have smol hands too
on some chords only octave reach she still have to roll them

p45 is nice budget friendly, roland fp10 is decent but doesn't have real piano sample, yamaha p125 is pretty much golden standard in budget keyboards. I also like some of kawai's options a lot but personally not a fan of the bright sound kawai pianos have, at least for most songs
if you have local music shop they probably have some you can try out

A lot of my sheet music is bigger than your average letter sized paper

I think the air is smaller than the classic

Huh, weird

Overall size they are pretty similar or air is smaller but the classic still has the chonker bezels

Other advantage of iPad is procreate if you’re into that

I am in the market for a monitor. Now that I have my computer desk, I can upgrade to 1440p. Current monitor is the MSI Optix MAG24C 24" 1080p@144Hz 1ms VA curved monitor. I have two monitors in mind and cannot decide between them. Both are the Samsung Odyssey G5 monitors, but one is a 27", the other a 32". Both have a 1440p native resolution at 144Hz, both have HDR10 capability, they're both identical in pretty much all their available features, the only difference between them is size and price. The 27" is on sale at Micro Center for $280 while the 32" is going for around $329 at Micro Center. Which one should I get?
neon root
27" unless you specifically need the 32" for something but for gaming, going anything higher than 27" is a bit much especially on a curved monitor
true depot
Is there any real benefit to HDR at the present time or no?
neon root
for gaming, not really unless youre specifically doing some sort of cinematography within games but otherwise its useless
true depot
A third one I just looked at is also a 27" made by ASUS, it has a 1500R curve vs a 1000R for the Samsung, it has a contrast ratio of 3000:1 vs the Samsung's 2500:1, and the ASUS one is 1440p@165Hz vs the Samsung's 1440p@144Hz, but the ASUS one is going for $310

Maybe someone on here can answer this question, Google is not being very helpful with this. I have two laptops, one for work and one for personal use. I am looking for an accurate Docking Station that can use 3-4 monitors and also acts as a KVM switch via USB-C. Do they exist, I see some weird ones on the web but they do not explain well enough how they work. I don’t mind pushing a button or some keystrokes as most KVM switches have had in the past to switch from using 1 laptop to the next. Price is not really an issue either. Thanks!

Can someone explain the pros and cons of a Wired and Wireless mouse and if I should get a light or heavy mouse?

wireless has no cable mess benefit

it's mostly preference tbh
but light is usually better for most people

I currently have a keyboard that sometimes has a double letter issue when only pressing once, and a mouse that sometimes has a double left click issue when only pressing once. Should I replace my keyboard or mouse?

Yes
Both it sounds like
You can try to repair the switch on the mouse if you want to get a little more life from it, but it's not exactly easy
granite wedge
yea i searched online and it involves soldering and stuff

Depends on your brand, but yeah some of them do. Logitech don't, though, and a couple others.

Maybe i should go for a budget mouse and keyboard instead of a single good mouse or a single keyboard
