what is a good 120 dollar range keyboarc

*keyboard

[gleaming pond]

Keychron keyboards.

The K series.

I don't know what layout you're looking for though.

[halcyon zealot]

i think the razer keyboard is lubed, but i do not know if its a good keyboard or not

[rigid valve]

It’s not

[calm cobalt]

razer hunstman is pretty good if you get the red switches

[floral lake]

imagine choosing gamer brands

they're all cringe

keychron and such are better

[timber ridge]

imagine getting a keychron

jus buy a cheap taobao kit

[daring zenith]

Imagine getting a keyboard

[gritty kettle]

dell keyboard 😎

[floral lake]

dell kb is eh

it's just another office stuff, membrane

cheap

that's all there is to em lul

[faint helm]

which karaoke mic would u recommend for under 50 bucks ? (USD)

[west hornet]

first ive heard that one, not sure what you trying to plug it into but the samson q2u is a nice budget stage mic

[gritty kettle]

Exactly

I also don't want to hear gunshots when I type so win-win

And keyboard doesn't affect my skill in games so I'm not going to spend money on one

[floral lake]

mech keyboard aren't always loud

[gritty kettle]

I would have to pay extra for silent switches and I have a grand total of $15

[wanton burrow]

what

jsut get a decent sounding one 4head

or if u don't want mechanical altogether bother going somewhere where u can get some topre or topre clone board

[wanton burrow]

when both blues and silent switches exist, don't u ever think of switches that exist just on the middle?

which is basically the majority of the switches sold out there

get some cheap full nylon jwk or smthn

[gritty kettle]

nah

[wanton burrow]

should be sorta muted

[gritty kettle]

i am going to use my dell kb1421 for another 5 years to come

[wanton burrow]

sure then

[stoic cliff]

Looking for a comfy chair for my desk that's got a headrest that's not not much money

[young crown]

is ghost still here

@west hornet i got airpods max

[west hornet]

REEEEEE

How much tho

[young crown]

$480 on sale

big waste of money but i love then 😁

them*

[west hornet]

Lol i just hate some of the major design oversights like the case

[young crown]

i even built a wooden stand for them in my woodshop class but its trash so i demoted my old gaming set to it

[west hornet]

Ive only listened to them once before and quality was decent

[young crown]

the case is stupid, the $35 cable is stupid, and the fact you cant play/pause music over the cable is even stupider.

buuuuut

find another pair of headphones that are built like those lol

ya cant

not with the features this has

its a really good all-purpose pair of headphones

[west hornet]

I was gonna say there is another headphone that is very tough but not wireless and very expensive xD

[young crown]

yeah lol

[west hornet]

Lately i use my airpod pro whenever i go out, pretty nice

They do good with anc and transparency

[young crown]

i havent tried the airpod pros, but i do know theyre pretty good

anc and all that

[west hornet]

One day we will get wireless lossless audio streaming 😔

[calm cobalt]

ok so the C1 i've been looking at has been out of stock for a while, are there any other alternatives that are 75% or larger, have media keys, rgb, hotswap, and wont shank my wallet?

i was originally looking at the sk87s but apparently that has a lot of issues

[west hornet]

Your wallet already gone

[calm cobalt]

:(

[young crown]

logitech g815

best keyboard

[gleaming pond]

Lmfao.

[young crown]

i dont think nachos has forgiven me since i got it

[calm cobalt]

i was looking at the gk/rk/rtk61 for a bit but like i hate 61 keys

[gleaming pond]

Media keys are never found on 75%.

[calm cobalt]

i like to have actual functionaltiy

[calm cobalt]

well 75% or larger, so tkl and fullsize are also fine

i dont really need fullsize but like i guess the numpad is there just to be there

for the sake of "convenience"

is this a decent microphone? If not, what are some alternatives around the same price range?

[grave dune]

HyperX is a pretty dependable one to be honest I love mine

[west hornet]

you should remember that tho smh

[brave vale]

Guys I am stuck between 3 mics elgato wave 3, sm7b, or quad cast

Who h one is the best

No shire because it’s expensive so eleimate that option

And if any better than those 2 let me know

Around the same price range

[proper forge]

I don’t wanna spam but I want someone to see this. In over 40,000 people im sure there’s someone who knows.

I’m going to get an adapter to power my dslr from the wall. (canon eos rebel t5 (1200d)). Are there any suggestions as to what I should look for? There’s tons of stuff on Amazon. Usb C vs transformer box? Two shorter cables that can come apart vs one long cable? @ me if you have experience.

[west hornet]

some very different options lol, the shure requires a interface which is ~100-150usd, between elgato wave and quadcast id go with the elgato

[brave vale]

Can you give an explanation of why legato

Elgato

Just wondering

[west hornet]

there is no need for the polar patterns on the quadcast and they all sound pretty meh imo, I prefer the tone of the elgato and the elgato has a great software that can be very useful for streamers

[brave vale]

Any other ones in that price range that are better

[regal delta]

Can anyone recommend a dock that can support 3 displays that is compatible with a thinkpad T15g Gen2?

[timber ridge]

was there an @ everyone in general?

[floral lake]

nah

but role pings

it was from an admin

[timber ridge]

[gritty kettle]

whats a good usb hub that has minimum latency?

[floral lake]

usb hubs doesn't add latency

at least not too much

[queen sigil]

@sharp kindle

LOOK

HES BACK IN GLORORS

BACAUSE OF YOU

[rigid valve]

Bruh

[timber ridge]

what happened lmao

[queen sigil]

wdym

[timber ridge]

[calm cobalt]

my switches arrived after 8 months lol

[queen sigil]

[timber ridge]

o ggs

[sharp kindle]

Sorry lol

[ruby mica]

Pretty sure this is the right place to task, but anyone have recommendations for yokes?

[gleaming matrix]

Anyone have a laptop cooling pad? I'm wondering if they're worth it and if they're noisy for a gaming laptop

[white flame]

Larger fans don't spin as fast so they're quieter, and they can be helpful if your laptop has bad cooling

[floral lake]

It's heavily dependent on the laptop's vents too

Mine barely has any so I didn't benefit from one

[wanton burrow]

is a $20 6x4" drawing pad rly usable?

need one asap but can't pull out more than the range sadly

[neon root]

size wise, yes. the pad itself? questionable depending on who its from

[wanton burrow]

either huion or xp pen

[neon root]

both are good if huion is the company im thinking of

[wanton burrow]

at least that's where i'm looking at rn atm

[neon root]

xp pen i have one of their tablets and so far its been good

[wanton burrow]

ah nice

i guess i'll settle to the cheaper ones for now, see if i still would get my present self to draw again

thanks

[astral coyote]

Any suggestions for a good mechanical white colored keyboard (full size) that's reasonable

[shadow bane]

Budget

[astral coyote]

$50-75

I saw some for 150 but wife would kill me

[shadow bane]

Is gray ok?

[astral coyote]

depends

[shadow bane]

Check out keychron k4

[rigid valve]

It’s a little over

But best choice under $100 by a mile

[astral coyote]

rip wife hates it

Her computer is white / purple

😵‍💫

How's the Rosewill K51?

[rigid valve]

purple you say

Rosewill is not a particularly reputable brand

How fine is your wife with the gamer lights?

[astral coyote]

100%

[rigid valve]

Hehe

[astral coyote]

she's a gamer, sorta

used to be more so

[rigid valve]

Oh wait full-size never mind

[astral coyote]

haha I know

the Razer right?

[rigid valve]

I was gonna rec something but it only comes in TKL

Something else

[astral coyote]

oh

Only brands I know are Rosewill, Corsair, Razer (besides logitech)

[rigid valve]

Honestly, Tekli

[astral coyote]

im out of luck :X

[rigid valve]

The best keyboard to fit all of your requirements (fullsize, budget, white) is something from Royal Kludge

[floral lake]

^

[astral coyote]

They any good?

I know I'm asking for a lot.

I just dont want something to break in 2 weeks

lol

eh 28 bucks

Thanks guys

We'll see

I meant eh like it's only XD I'm not THAT Cheap

[wanton burrow]

Leopold fc980m

Not truly white but they have beige

[astral coyote]

Thanks @wanton burrow

I ordered the RK one, we'll see.

[daring zenith]

Womier k87 perhaps

[west hornet]

any deals on keyboards? trying to get a smaller keeb

[astral coyote]

Razer has some deals on the hunstmans

[odd breach]

Hey guys bout to make the purchase for black friday. Should I cop a Leopold, Miya, Or One 3. All 65%

[daring zenith]

kbd67 lite r3 is on sale now

[daring zenith]

leopold neat

[spiral breach]

idk where to put this but where do i find a passive stereo mixer most of the ones i find have reviews about no grounding or loss of signal or whatever

[queen sigil]

are leopolds on sale anywhere?

oh they're like 10% off

[queen sigil]

@tight pulsar whats ur opinion on the greetech browns atm

do they need springswapping or anything

[timber ridge]

Sheesh

[queen sigil]

wahts that

[timber ridge]

matrix noah

[queen sigil]

when did u order that

[swift solar]

Drop alt isn’t worth it right?

[daring zenith]

it is not worth it

[rigid valve]

If you can solder-desolder there is value in the design and frame

[daring zenith]

I'm tempted to buy a kbd67 lite, looks like it already has case foam, does it need anything else?

[timber ridge]

while back

[timber ridge]

doesnt need any modding, but if you wanna tiktok mod it (pe foam etc) you can pick up some switch foam

[daring zenith]

Well, don't really want to pe foam, so I prob won't do that

[queen sigil]

kbd67 lite is fine with everything it comes with

[gritty kettle]

What's a good mic for $50 aud

[daring zenith]

Might be able to find fifine k669

[gritty kettle]

Any others that are cheaper?

[daring zenith]

cheapest I can think of

Fifine k669/k670

they're like 30 usd

[tight pulsar]

the springs suck and they might have made my keycaps fit or that could have been another switch but cheap and sound okay

[queen sigil]

ok so i should buy springs

[tight pulsar]

yeah

think i have 65ish g ones in mine but idk

55g in my normal browns is nice

[queen sigil]

yeah i was probs gonna go for something around the 63g range

[wanton burrow]

67lite $99 on kbdfans rn

instock

prob some mercutio as well

literally a smaller keeb

[daring zenith]

Welp, decided to buy a kbd67 lite and some u4t

[rich sparrow]

what would y’all say is the best relatively cheap hotas? so far i’ve seen the x56, but i’m not sure.

hotas is technically a peripheral

[sullen crow]

Im looking at getting a MXL 3000 mic and a DT 880 should i do that for the recording ill be doing soon once more?

[queen sigil]

@timber ridge @sharp kindle

🗿

[daring zenith]

sounds about right

[queen sigil]

this guy sucks

[little crater]

lmfao

skiptrace moment

we can have skiptrace moments and he doesnt even have to be here

[daring zenith]

remember when skiptrace himself said gmmk pro worse than what he already had

[queen sigil]

remember when skiptrace talked about how bluetooth is super important

and when costar stabs arent even bad

[little crater]

[daring zenith]

just skiptrace things

[little crater]

skiptrace moment

[rigid valve]

lmao

As if shipping lithium batteries overseas is s a f e

[gleaming pond]

What the heck.

He had a board with costar stabs and when his new board is coming it's now bad because of costar stabs.

[gleaming pond]

Why you copy me.

[daring zenith]

because I was thinking about doing keychron q3 or whatever but then realized that I really should at least try smth smaller, and might as well go kbd67 lite since r3 came out that day

[gleaming pond]

Lol.

You're getting normal u4ts?

[daring zenith]

Yea

[gleaming pond]

Oh I got the nixdorks.

[daring zenith]

I decided to go for white so I went normal

[gleaming pond]

Oh nice.

[daring zenith]

should be fun

[gleaming pond]

LMAO.

That's how it should look.

Who needs extra stuff to drive up the price.

[daring zenith]

ye

[timber ridge]

0 bounce, screws that strip easily, trash stock stabs. muted, gloros

[queen sigil]

ur not the keyboard expert

[timber ridge]

tru

[queen sigil]

timagine not building ur u4t

[glacial plume]

model d wireless good

[rigid valve]

No

[glacial plume]

then what should i get

[daring zenith]

imagine not building your hands

[timber ridge]

u4t should be p nice on kbd67

dunno bout v3 but it was so flexy in the last two versions

tactile on top mount/alu plate >

[daring zenith]

should be fun

[gleaming pond]

You built your hands? kek.

[daring zenith]

You didn't?

[gleaming pond]

No.

[queen sigil]

holy bobas on FR4 still sounded muddy

idk

[timber ridge]

feels >

[queen sigil]

true

[timber ridge]

i need me a tkl

[gleaming pond]

All kbd67 lites were pc plate, right?

[timber ridge]

ye but there is aftermarket stuff available

[queen sigil]

im probs gonna get a diff keycap set

maybe geekark when they aint being garbage on their GBs

[timber ridge]

all the keycaps i want prob gonna come out next year

[snow briar]

Can I get a suggestion or 3 for a decent prebuilt mech keyboard? Preferably silent/quiet switches. Full boards*

[calm cobalt]

About to lube my Boba u4t's

[timber ridge]

get a topre or leopold

[snow briar]

Any specifically?

Or that is the specifics

[timber ridge]

any that u like

[snow briar]

Ty

[timber ridge]

topre might be a bit pricey but you can easily get a leopold for a bit over 100

jus pick a color you like and you cant really go wrong unles you want hotswap or something

[calm cobalt]

leopold if you don't want to do any mods to it, it's the only good prebuilt i recommend

[timber ridge]

varmillo is a nice alternative if you want rgb/backlight

keychron if you want a hotswap prebuilt

[snow briar]

Ty

[cursive oracle]

Is it cheaper to buy or build a mechanical KB with Bluetooth?

The Newegg seems to have nice deals on Bluetooth keyboards. Should I get one for my PC, and can a mouse use the same BT adapter?

[snow briar]

Corsair I believe has that feature. Not sure about anything else. It’ll probably be cheaper to buy a prebuilt, but I’m sure building a keyboard would be fun. I’m inexperienced in the craft but I’m sure someone else could convince you

[neon root]

corsair and razer i think are able to share their own adapters for their peripherals but only certain models

me personally though i wouldnt recommend corsair peripherals

[cursive oracle]

What deals does Corsair have right now?

Also, I don’t think the branding matters much outside of gaming.

[snow briar]

If razer also has that feature I’d also suggest going for razer…

[cursive oracle]

Can either work?

[snow briar]

You can’t mix and match them, corsairs software hits cpu performance hard

[neon root]

not really

[cursive oracle]

Software for kb?

[neon root]

icue for corsair stuff

icue only hurts the cpu usage if youre doing really crazy lighting profiles with a lot of corsair products at once

if its just solid or even just 1~4 simple effects its gonna stay below 1% cpu usage

[snow briar]

Not even crazy stuff some of the easy ones can jump usage up by 10%

[cursive oracle]

wait why does the keyboard have software

is this a thing

[neon root]

for the rgb and certain other things, yes

[cursive oracle]

isnt it just plug and play

or sync and play

oh

[snow briar]

Firmware updates and lighting

[neon root]

it is plug an play but if you want to customize the lighting or do macros or change other things then you need the software

[cursive oracle]

what are the fw updates

i prefer one color

[snow briar]

Usually done through software

[neon root]

my icue has yet to ever go above 1% with the corsair stuff i have

[snow briar]

You can always set a color and exit out of the software

[snow briar]

I’ve had some weird issues I guess

[neon root]

certain products from both razer and corsair also allows you to save profiles to the hardware so you can uninstall after if you want

[cursive oracle]

but do bt kb have a way to plug them in for more reliable wired updates?

also

i would upgrade my current one

but its wired

[snow briar]

Usually you’d plug in whenever you need a charge and for most if not all you’d need to have any wireless gear plugged in for firmware updates

[cursive oracle]

do mechanical keyboards use usb-c

for charging

[neon root]

Depends on who makes them

[cursive oracle]

corsair or razer

[neon root]

Some keyboards still use micro and some use usb c

[cursive oracle]

oof to micro

[snow briar]

Rip Logitech

[cursive oracle]

can i upgrade most newer keyboards to mechanical

[neon root]

Well keyboards are either mechanical or they’re not

There’s no upgrading a keyboard to a mechanical one

[cursive oracle]

okay

mine might be mechanical based on the keys

what makes it mechanical

as opposed to membrane

[neon root]

The switches

[cursive oracle]

so if they’re blue

useless?

[neon root]

Blue switches not useless but they’re loud and annoying

[cursive oracle]

are there color codes

[snow briar]

Yup

[neon root]

Kinda. Each switch has their own name and they each do something different

Kinda a hole to get into everything but the main switches you’ll see are blue, red, and browns

Corsair has other options too like silvers and stuff

[cursive oracle]

is brown also orange?

[neon root]

Razer has their in-house green switches

[cursive oracle]

ive heard both

[neon root]

No, orange are different

[cursive oracle]

oh

[neon root]

Ye there’s a lot of switches

[cursive oracle]

what are red and brown

im glad these have color codes

unlike modern pci slots

[neon root]

Red switches are linear switches which kinda feel smooth and don’t require you to press down as much. Brown switches are tactile which means there’s a bump that you can feel when pressing down on it which also tends to require a bit more force to press on them

[cursive oracle]

how much do mech kb kits go for

w/ red switches

red sound like my fave

[snow briar]

Do you still want bt/dongle

[cursive oracle]

yee

[neon root]

Kits themselves go for a decent amount but you can just find a mechanical keyboard with red switches in them. Corsair and Razer both have mechanical keyboards with red switches

[cursive oracle]

i have the dongle

but do they need a custom dongle

[snow briar]

I’d just go with a razer prebuilt keyboard

[neon root]

They have their own dongles

[snow briar]

They come with it

[cursive oracle]

what deal does that razer one have rn?

wait..

these go for over 100 usd

[snow briar]

Yeah, most of anything Bluetooth will be 100+

Besides mice and keychron

[cursive oracle]

if i do usb c without bluetooth

[neon root]

Ye, most big name brands will charge a bit for their keyboards like Corsair, Razer, Logitech, etc.

[cursive oracle]

and touchpad over mouse

can that go for under 100

[neon root]

You can also go to other brands as well that aren’t big brand and look at stuff like royal kludge and stuff

[cursive oracle]

are they upgradable if they’re not what i hope

[neon root]

With Corsair and Razer, yes and no if you’re talking about the switches

[snow briar]

If you really want cheap Bluetooth keychron is probably your best choice for a keyboard. They also make hotswap boards

[cursive oracle]

does royal kludge use usb c

[neon root]

With Corsair and Razer their switches are soldered so you’d have to do some soldering if you want to change the switches

[cursive oracle]

oh okay

[snow briar]

Are we talking about the connection to the pc or the keyboard btw?

[neon root]

And yes royal kludge does do usb c

[cursive oracle]

kb

not the pc

[neon root]

And they have some Bluetooth options

[snow briar]

Ah kk just double checking

[cursive oracle]

i have a usb c to a cable

that i use for nintendo stuff…
(haxxors know)

but i saw royal kludge bt for 38 blue mech

the red mech is 43

ill get the red mech

not a huge diff

[snow briar]

https://www.amazon.com/Keychron-K2-Hot-swappable-Bluetooth-Mechanical/dp/B08742M6VW/ref=asc_df_B08742M6VW/? 👀

It’s a bit pricey tho so maybe the one you’re talking about is better

Oh Mac layout my b right they almost all use Mac layouts….

[neon root]

what size keyboard are you looking for, mova?

[cursive oracle]

Any, I don't need a numerical keypad.

61-key is fine.

Is a used Royal Kludge kb okay?

34 USD for the 61-key, red switches.

[neon root]

they have some deals going on rn for new. they have one at 44

[cursive oracle]

I found a used one at 34.

Are used products okay from Newegg?

[neon root]

depends on the product youre getting used. me personally id say just get new because you dont know what was done to the keyboard or if theres anything wrong with it and how thorough amazon is with checking used products

[cursive oracle]

The 34-buck one is being shipped from a Chinese seller.

Meaning it'll take ages.

Huge pass this time. It was one thing with GPU, but not this.

[neon root]

for the most part with some of these keyboards they are from a chinese seller, just depnds on who the shipper is

[cursive oracle]

yeah 'twas what i meant

Can these Bluetooth devices work on systems that have integrated Bluetooth of their own, such as Xbox and PlayStation?

[neon root]

it should but dont know the support for either because i havent been following up with either company as to what their compatibility is. xbox i do know that keyboard and mouse works wired but dont know about wireless for all products

[cursive oracle]

(In reality, I'm trying to find one that works on a Linux distro for Switch. L4T really unlocked some cool capabilities of the Tegra X1.)

[neon root]

i just freaking realized something

you said touchpad instead of a mouse?

[cursive oracle]

either can work

it doesn't have to be a touchpad

Switch has built-in bt, so a separate kb and mouse can work on that Linux distro if they're both bt.

But if I do get a mouse, can a low-end one work?

[neon root]

yeah should work

[cursive oracle]

tbh this is meant for both my PC and Switch(root)

but thank you

How much should a bt mouse go for?

Can a $15 one work?

[neon root]

depends on what kind of mouse you want since theres cheap ones too

[cursive oracle]

Also, can one bt dongle work for multiple devices?

[neon root]

i completely forgot these kind of keyboards existed

https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-K83-Wireless-Keyboard-Bluetooth/dp/B07JKRJRCR/ref=sr_1_5

https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-K600-TV-Keyboard-Integrated/dp/B07C6LXYHL/ref=pd_day0fbt_img_2/133-7072539-2104703

theyre advertised for home entertainment systems but should be compatible with pc's too

[cursive oracle]

Cheaper for me to get the separate bt kb and mouse.

But thank you.

[neon root]

true, but just completely forgot those kinds of keyboards existed which also kinda fit your needs

[cursive oracle]

no worries

so did i

[tender garnet]

The $90 Razer Viper Ultimate needs to stop temping me, especially w/ the $30/mo deal (& $9 back later) 😅

[neon root]

cheapest its ever been was $80 and that was last cybermonday

[tender garnet]

hmm, so basically $1 more than last year, right on! Seems like almost worth a try. Normal green-only deathadder could be my backup.

[neon root]

theres also 2 wireless death adders i believe as well if you like that shape

[tender garnet]

Sort of, I like how there's no seams on the main buttons & it is a well-sized mouse. I liked the old diamondback and copperhead even more. Those were lighter and easier to lift/move because the sides sloped in/up.

[wanton burrow]

$20 viper mini

[neon root]

but not wireless

sadly

surprised razer hasnt made it yet considering the amount of people that want it

[wanton burrow]

not sure if i'd like the shape of g304 so perhaps imma get some g102 since iirc it has similar shape

mainly becoz g304 has some custom housings easily acessible somewhere locally

and possibly bad switches is a reason to learn about mice switches & encoders as well

[rough mist]

Specs(AMD 5600x, 32gb ram, 3080 MSI Ventus 3, 750 psu, Win10). I got a new gpu from my old 1080ti. When I swapped them I didnt notice any issues form the new gpu but I needed a fresh window install regardless. After fresh install my Valve VR Index and Focusrite(using Rode mic) both randomly restart. This gets much worse if I stream in discord. I tried every possible usb reinstall, wipe, disconnecting devices one at a time or changing ports. I dont notice any issues with running games themselves 4k 120hz very high settings or such. only when usb is involved. My mouse and keyboard dont seem to disconnect. Also tried the usb power options too. The focusrite is usb c while index usb 3. I'm lost and need help please.

[dreamy goblet]

i believe my friend had a similar issue with peripherals after a windows update, maybe look into that

believe there might have been some software issues

[grand skiff]

Would this be the spot to ask about VR options?

[rigid valve]

Ye

Or #electronics

[west hornet]

This or #gaming

[rigid valve]

Oh I didn’t know that was a thing

[rough mist]

Quest 2 sucks. Nuff said..

[grand skiff]

I'm just tryna figure out the best low-mid budget option for a PC-powered headset

Wallet sucks

[shadow bane]

Disagree

[rough mist]

I own both the Quest 2 and Index

The worse fov and especially cumbersome setup to even get the Quest ready is annoying

[shadow bane]

Ofc the more expensive headset will be better?

[rough mist]

And, yes. Used both on pc because quest games suck.

[bleak ember]

You are comparing a $300-400 VR headset vs a $1000 vr headset system

[rough mist]

Sure

[shadow bane]

That's like comparing a 3060 to a 3090 lmao

[rough mist]

But you get whta you pay for

and no its not

[bleak ember]

Yes it is.

[shadow bane]

The quest 2 is great for the price

With a pro strap it's great

[rough mist]

I use the pro strap

[bleak ember]

Key phrase being for the price

[shadow bane]

Ofcourse

[rough mist]

also a bettery so it never dies

[shadow bane]

It won't be better than a 1k dollar headset

Expecting it to be is stupid

[rough mist]

The issue is your better with the broken hp over it after addons and such for the quest to make ot acceptable

[shadow bane]

I have the quest with no addons

No complaints other than the strap

A bit small

[rough mist]

mine kept pulling my hair

especially workouts

[shadow bane]

I haven't had any issues other than the strap

[rough mist]

what games do you play?

Alex wasnt fun with it

Beatsaber was thou

ill give it that

the controllers felt more natural for that game

[shadow bane]

Superhot, vrchat, either tarkov or pavloc

Forget which one

And im buying beat Saber and the other one soon

[rough mist]

the fov doesnt bother you?

Or maybe its because I used the index I feel the difference

[shadow bane]

Not at all

[queen sigil]

tarkov doesnt have vr

[shadow bane]

Sorry not tarkov

Blade and sorcery

[halcyon zealot]

Can i ask questions about soundbars for tv here?

Or only pc stuff?

[daring zenith]

You can definitely ask, but not many people knows

[frank iron]

I'm looking to get myself a Blu-Ray writer that can do basically everything. 3D BDs, UHD BDs, et cetera. I keep seeing comments in reviews on the units I've looked at saying that the firmware updates or the newer firmware that the units ship with gimps their ability to be used to rip your disks for back up and archival purposes. That utility is rather important to me. I recognize that optical drives are increasingly niche, but does anyone have any good recommendations for me?

[heady hollow]

What’s a good cheap speaker under $40

[gritty kettle]

Is the g502 hero a good pick for a mouse?

[neon root]

it is if thats what youre looking for

think its on sale rn but if not it goes on sale fairly regularly for $40 if youre looking at the wired version

[gritty kettle]

I usually see it for like $120

But it's on sale for $75

[wanton burrow]

any language learning software/app besides duolingo?

[neon root]

rosetta stone is the only other one i can think of

[glad yarrow]

Babble is another one

[west hornet]

Memrise

[main garnet]

seiren mini or st800 ?

[wanton burrow]

lmfao

general 2: electric boogaloo

[frank iron]

Does anyone have any advice?

[neon root]

had a question. if my keyboard is only registering a few clicks would that be a problem with the switch or the pcb or just a connection issue? like if i press 1 twice but it only showed 1 once

nvm think ive got it. think its because some of the switches were loose if that makes sense

time to put polyfil and tape mod this gk61

ya yeet

[spark lava]

Alright guys, it’s cyber Monday.

I want to buy a nice sound system for my TV.

Any suggestions?

I know I need to buy a receiver and buy speakers separately.

Give me some suggestions for both.

Budget is ~$600.

Mind you the only thing I’m gonna be plugging into the thing is my TV. And maybe my phone.

[queen sigil]

no

[green glade]

What language

[queen sigil]

@sharp kindle

[neon root]

There’s good news and bad news with me rediscovering what switches were in this keyboard

Good news, they’re not blues

Bad news, they’re reds

also more news

the keycaps are cherrys

[wanton burrow]

is that new

or you alr used it

[neon root]

used

been sitting in my closet for the past like 2 years

[wanton burrow]

that's free pre-broken-in cherried i'd say

could change the spring to a better one

and prob lube it

if that's actually hotswappable

[neon root]

its not

its a ducky

[wanton burrow]

awww

[neon root]

dont plan on doing much with this, just tape mod and maybe some foam and then leave it as a display piece after cleaning these keycaps

[neon root]

whelp, scrap the idea of putting foam into this thing

i am unable to take it apart

[daring zenith]

rip, no screws?

[neon root]

it doesnt use screws but plastic tabs instead and i just cannot take it apart

[daring zenith]

heatgun/hairdryer time?

[neon root]

i was able to take 4 tabs out but the sides of this keyboard either has more tabs that i cant access or theyre just superglued or something

just doesnt want to budge

[daring zenith]

could try heatgun/hairdryer if available

[neon root]

got it but jeezus that was a workout

no tabs on the sides, only top and bottom but the last ones were are the very edge making it difficult to get to them because the top housing is almost a near perfect fit making it impossible to actually get under towards the corners

[daring zenith]

huh

[neon root]

tiny bit of foam in here. wonder if i should throw polyfil on top of it or take this out and only put polyfil

[daring zenith]

@west hornet got some new headphones, could you give me some random new flac file I could test it with? listened to too much of what I already have

prob take it out

[west hornet]

I dont think i can send through phone, if you still awake i can send when i get off work in ~2.5hr

[daring zenith]

prob will be awake

[west hornet]

👍

[neon root]

my fingers freaking hurt from trying to pry open that top housing

[daring zenith]

need some kind of small prybar thing

[neon root]

now time to wait for the keycaps to dry off since i let them soak for a bit

and then do a type test and hear a small difference since i wasnt able to lube the switches

[daring zenith]

why soak keycaps?

[neon root]

dirty

[daring zenith]

ah

[sturdy sinew]

been looking at headphones for cyber Monday saw that the senneheiser 58x and 6xx are on sale. Is their any other headphones I should be checking? practically just looking for an upgrade from the 770 pros that has some sort of bass and open back

[daring zenith]

For just music or for like gaming or smth?

well k612 pro pretty decent sale atm

[sturdy sinew]

oh my fault it's for both

and I have the schiit stack if that helps

[daring zenith]

k612 pro p neat

6xx not great for gaming, great for music

[sturdy sinew]

oh okay

is the 58x the same way?

Sennheiser PCX 550 price check used? how good are they?

[tender spire]

anyone have feelings on the huntsman elite vs huntsman v2 vs huntsman v2 analog

[calm cobalt]

best mouse for casual gamers non competitve

[kindred compass]

anyone know any good wireless headsets i can use for a ps5 ive been lookin everywhere and cant find any

[daring zenith]

none of the above? Womier k87 if you want rgb, Keychron for any good hotswap board, Leopold for nice build quality keeb

[daring zenith]

Depends on grip and budget and such

Orochi could be good, MOW might be good, VU might be good, GPW might be good

[calm cobalt]

my buget is below 90$

im looking for a good comfortable mouse for gaming

wirless is ++

is g703 comfortable?

[daring zenith]

orochi, model o wireless, viper ultimate, g pro wireless, all good to start looking at first

[calm cobalt]

do you have one of these? which do you think feels the best? in terms of comfort and long use]

[daring zenith]

They're all different shapes for different hands

One guy might find a small mouse for claw grip most comfortable, I might find a big mouse for palm grip most comfortable, all depends on the person

[gleaming pond]

How is that iqunix better than a keychron.

[daring zenith]

2.4ghz, that's about it

[gleaming pond]

Keychrons actually use normal stab

[calm cobalt]

true true

[timber ridge]

is that all u picked up

[queen sigil]

i got a cable

[timber ridge]

should of picked up some og doubleshots

and were those greentech or mx

[queen sigil]

[west hornet]

heres a newer one @daring zenith

[timber ridge]

https://fengstudio.ca/products/switch-break-in-machine-4-4?variant=42100033978610

[queen sigil]

oh yeah ive seen a vid of one of those before

[timber ridge]

i was suppose to buy one too but i wasnt paying attention to time and missed it lol

[queen sigil]

not new

what did u use for shipping on taobao tho

superbuy i mean

[timber ridge]

like wat shipping service ?

[west hornet]

omg

[queen sigil]

yeah

[timber ridge]

i used dhl last time i ordered

[queen sigil]

its expensive

bruh dhl like

really expensive

[timber ridge]

hence why i dont buy on taobao unless i have a haul ready

[queen sigil]

fair enough

[timber ridge]

i wouldnt buy for like 1-2 items

[queen sigil]

how much did u pay on shipping lol

[west hornet]

i swear i hate windows, this 1500usd desktop windows pc bricks itself more with anything networking more than any other mac or linux pc in this house

[timber ridge]

iirc about 30-40

dont really remember

[queen sigil]

???????

[timber ridge]

how much are they charging u lol

[queen sigil]

this is for just the browns

cable hasnt arrived at warehouse

@timber ridge did the shipping price go down once u actually place the order

because this is just the estimate

[timber ridge]

idk

prices fluctuate

and superbuy etc has been booming

have you tried sugargoo or watever

and the other alternatives

[queen sigil]

yeah this one seems liek the cheapest

[timber ridge]

gl mane

[calm cobalt]

As a not casual gamer and VFX artist which is a better mouse to get for long use

G502 lightspeed

Orochi v2

g703

[timber ridge]

do you know your grip type

[sharp kindle]

greetech browns?

nice

[calm cobalt]

nvm im just gonna get g502

[gritty kettle]

saaame

[neon root]

put some polyfil and tape into this ducky keyboard. sounds a bit better instead of a super hollow shell

[tight pulsar]

that's why you order a lot

[queen sigil]

im ordering 200 so 20$ shipping aint bad

i just didnt know there was a drop down with cheaper shipping

because i wasnt bouta pay 90$ for shipping

[sacred sigil]

hey all i need help finding a compatible thunderbolt 3 hub with rj45 and dual display. the laptop im using is the newegg item# 9SIAKVUFUF0000

and it will have the Linux OS

[daring zenith]

Much thanks

[west hornet]

another

and the classic

[daring zenith]

mmm

[tame canopy]

I got the g502 rn and really happy. Not a lightweight mouse by any standards, and logitech g hub really is garbage. Other than that, the physical mouse is really nice

[timber ridge]

if you like the g503 then you prob palm grip

there is a quite a few lightweight palm grip mice in the market although its not nearly as popular as claw and ftip

[steep pelican]

Deathadder v2 is nice

[wanton burrow]

at this point i don't know if i'm into palm grip or it's just a ergonomic issue on both my table and mousepad size making my wrist get callus lol

wait is it callus

is this where haachama feet(mouse)pad is needed?

[steep pelican]

I have a really small mousepad

also I have no desk space because of my drawing tablet that I don't ever use

[wanton burrow]

i want one

currently begging for a deco mini 7 lol

[steep pelican]

I bought a 500 dollar tablet at 12 years old somehow (IDK where that money came from) and never use it

[wanton burrow]

with that 500 i could prob buy alot of senseless stuff

[tame canopy]

where does one find flacs

I havnt tried looking, but im scared of the 50mb of uncompressed music im about to allow into my computer

[daring zenith]

there are many places

like going to someone with flacs and asking :D

[wanton burrow]

some audio group should have some

or jsut get a deezer subscription

or some other streaming services

don't think spotify premium has flac alr neither tidal since iirc they use mqa

could also get yourself some nice gear first before worrying about those

[tame canopy]

that requires money

[wanton burrow]

welp

[tame canopy]

and i love all things technology so wallet isnt the fattest

funny enough, still havnt found what kind of career I want to pursue

even though ive experiemnted with a lot. Just love too many things

[wanton burrow]

iem world seems to be nice on the cheapo realm

[tame canopy]

I know I just complained about the cash stack, but i would rather get a nice pair of headphones than a decent pair of iems

[wanton burrow]

also would run even without help of amps (tho some would still require or like to have amp)

[tame canopy]

im using the dt770s 80ohms rn

[wanton burrow]

then you can try to aim on some decent pair of headphones then

ah

[tame canopy]

good by my standards, (love bass so dont start chastising me for buying them)

[wanton burrow]

there are still some ways to get things for free sometimes but that'd also be risky depending on where you got it

[tame canopy]

alr so you want me to rob a place?

[wanton burrow]

won't go any further

[wanton burrow]

uhhh

[tame canopy]

👍

might experiment with the crispy high end market, ive heard the grado sr60x are the king of budget highs. Though im a little skeptical of the extreme lack of bass

I know they are designed for high end, but a little bit of bass would be nice

[wanton burrow]

i meant some modded streaming service that's enough for streaming offline and in hifi qual. that's waht i do since i don't rly have my own source of income (though it'd be nice to prepare for one once college starts)

don't rly know if doing some pirated thigns here is allowed but anyways, i don't think i am enough to help you about this part

esp on the pc part, mine's on the mobile

[tame canopy]

but wouldn't the quality of headphone be the bottleneck?

[wanton burrow]

perhaps

[tame canopy]

you can blast wine through a sewer tunnel, it will taste like sewer

[wanton burrow]

hmhmhmhm

a leopold prebuilt or a $200 stacked acrylic gasket alice build from keybox? (probably some taobao board or a simple designed one idk)

[timber ridge]

wait for block 67 restock or some

[wanton burrow]

idk

i'm still canvassing

not gonna buy now

[timber ridge]

ima try to get a samice again

want an alice again

[queen sigil]

how do you afford this

[timber ridge]

pros to still living at home while going to college

and kb resell op

mr.suit sold for 700 or some i forgot

[queen sigil]

damn

[timber ridge]

ye

im trying to get a kb n every main form factor

minus 40s prob unless i get a cheap mercutio or some

[queen sigil]

ez just buy every keychron

[timber ridge]

lol

stacking up on entry boards is not good

theyll be the first thing you try to sell when you get something better

[queen sigil]

m gonna cherish my board

until i get desperate

and broke

[calm cobalt]

anyone ever test a g703 and a superlight? which is more comfortable? any other mouse you think is more comfortable?

[timber ridge]

depends on the user

if you know your grip type and hand size, thatd help with determining what mouse to pick

[calm cobalt]

ok]

[median wren]

Anyone know where I can find Kailih Speed Silver switches like the ones that come with the EVGA Z15?

I'm not familiar with retailers and stuff when it comes to switches

[wanton burrow]

if there's none on amazon, perhaps aliexpress or try the ones on mechmap

https://mechmap.tech/

could bother buying some ktts or gaterons from some of them (like cannonkeys)

sped switches not sold that frequently in custom mechanical keyboard vendors though, lucky if they sell some

[median wren]

Got it thanks

[fiery locust]

which one is better Void elite or arctis 7?

[tight pulsar]

anybody have sub $100 closed back recommendations? don't remember which koss ones are good, for my sister so doesn't really care about sound quality and quieting other noise/some noise cancellation would be nice

[daring zenith]

k361 might be what you're looking for

[rigid valve]

Technically not sub 100 but yeah

[daring zenith]

I saw sale on amazon for 85$ but weird seller so yea
https://www.amazon.com/AKG-Pro-Audio-Headphones-K361/dp/B07X2LQRCF/

[fiery locust]

Hi I got a quick question. I recently bought a corsair void elite usb. Now it is comfortable for my head (about 23 ~24" circumference) but seems like the sound quality is not too great. I am looking at some other options and saw arctis 7. How is the headphones and will it be okay for my head size?

[timber ridge]

Arctis series is very comfortable but I'm not sure if you're gonna get the audio upgrade you're looking for

[fiery locust]

Not necessary an upgrade, more like it has some sound issues when I use it

[fiery locust]

How are the sony noise cancelling headphones for gaming

The Sony WHCH710N to be exact

[daring zenith]

Sony headphones tend to be not the greatest

They make good IEMs though

[tame canopy]

the best thing for gaming is prob going to be good headphones and an external mic. Usually, you get the better of both worlds even for the same price when you separate the mic and headphones

[queen sigil]

@timber ridge

13$ cable lookin pretty neat

[timber ridge]

get a mat and keycaps too lol

[queen sigil]

have u shipped a mat before

sounds like really expensive

[queen sigil]

what keycaps btw

because the only keycaps that werent like 100$ and werent fake GMK

are like some EPBT blanks

[timber ridge]

idk tbh

and i need a keyset too

need me one with alice supp

[queen sigil]

ok ima just order these then

[timber ridge]

springs might be worth

[wanton burrow]

some sets from taobao

i think that one manu name was cubism?

forgor

the one that makes crp clones or smthn with messy square lookin tray

[wanton burrow]

cannoncaps & nicepbt form cannonkeys perhaps

[queen sigil]

no we talking taobao

[wanton burrow]

ah

that cubism then

should be there

i'm not in hamajicord now so i can't get more infos about it

i presume that the ones keybox sells are from that manu

coz of that unorganized tray packaging

maybe yellow knows

[timber ridge]

that server cursed anyway

[tight pulsar]

se kinda hot

[timber ridge]

is lz working on a weird ergo tkl ?

[tight pulsar]

he's made a few but yeah

[wanton burrow]

oh cactus had gone the bad track now huh

sad

definitely not seeing other WKL-FRL-XT-TKL in the works

[timber ridge]

cactus was doomed from the start

there was a lot of drama going around from the beginning

and being young didnt help his case

[rigid valve]

What does XT stand for
Is that for the stuff to the left of the alphas

[wanton burrow]

yes

[rigid valve]

Ok

[wanton burrow]

eXTra, i guess

[rigid valve]

Epic

[tight pulsar]

that's like the worst answer you could have given

it's from the ibm xt

[little crater]

that monitor there alone is worth more than the rest of the system combined lol

5154 my beloved

also im pretty sure xt stands for extension

as a reference to the extended capabilities of the in 8088 over the 8008 in the originals

no im a thats a 5153 monitor

[sharp kindle]

10u, and stepped bottom row is so hot

[tight pulsar]

yeah

[queen sigil]

guys its official

dont make things that work with gmk

[grand portal]

No

[gleaming pond]

Yeah GMK totally garbage and we need to make a new standard so nothing supports them

[rigid valve]

totally not like they’re just manufacturers no

BUT I do agree that gmk is really overhyped and as a result backordered which makes people not like it

[tame canopy]

they need to get their stuff together, almost 2 years for a kit is too long

[white flame]

@queen sigil Pictures with curse words are still against the rules, just be aware

[upper finch]

What's the best IPS 1440p monitor?

[white flame]

Best in what budget?

Under $300? Under $600?

[upper finch]

300 to 400

[white flame]

M27Q

[upper finch]

600 if somethings just nuts

M27q?

[white flame]

Best deal today https://www.bestbuy.com/site/gigabyte-27-ips-led-qhd-freesync-monitor-with-kvm-hdmi-displayport-usb-black/6438287.p?skuId=6438287

And the review https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/gigabyte/m27q

[upper finch]

How epic is the monitor?

Turbo epic?

[white flame]

It's about the best you'll find in that price range. That rtings site rates hard, the best monitor only has like a 9.3 in gaming and that one's an 8.5

[upper finch]

Damnnn

I'm using a VGA panel 4k monitors from when I bought my pc and I thought 4k automatically made it good

I'm well aware how dumb I was

[white flame]

Live and learn

[upper finch]

That monitor can't ship to Minnesota nooo

[white flame]

Not even site to store? Dang, I'll find another

$20 more but includes Outriders game https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824012018

[upper finch]

I geuss Minnesota straight up doesn't get the monitor

[white flame]

Newegg doesn't ship there either? Sheesh

Well Amazon has it for $375 but idk if it's worth that

[upper finch]

I looked it up and gigabyte can't ship to MN

Tax issues

I geuss

Only for certain products

[white flame]

Hmm, odd. Maybe it's related to those new-ish power efficiency requirements?

[upper finch]

Wait!! Best buy can get In into their store!

I just have to drive 3hrs

But it's a win! Bc I need to go to that city anyways!

[white flame]

If you're close to a border you can try shipping to that state

But if you're headed that way anyway, not a bad option

[upper finch]

Thanks fal!

[white flame]

Happy to help

[upper finch]

Weird question. As someone building credit, best but credit card a good idea? Kinda wanted to use it for a 3080ti and that sick monitor.

[white flame]

Sure, it reports to credit bureaus so as long as you make regular payments you'll build credit

[upper finch]

Sick

[white flame]

Oh, and I'd pay a little more than the minimum to cut down on interest fees

[river marlin]

whats a good cheaper webcam

[tender garnet]

Better off using that best buy card long-term, as in use it for more purchases in the future. "age" of card & plenty of non-late payments looks good.

[tender garnet]

Fal'Cie, any input on LG GL83A-B? Why must they be same price. Thnx.

[calm cobalt]

whats a good keyboard
should be under $200 aud
tkl or full size

[supple swan]

ya & don't forget to include considerations for like rgb sync & all that

I use Thermaltake X1 (cherry silver or whatever) & Corsair K55 (membrane I think)

[calm cobalt]

ok i want rgb

[supple swan]

some have "zones" where it lights entire area & others have per key

per key is better but I think slightly more expensive

which motherboard do you have?

& any other rgb software?

[wanton burrow]

leopold fc750r or fc980m
keychron q1 (works as much as tkl would do, just diff layout and some keys on the nav cluster is lost)

rgb things isn't rly something to actually consider imo

would like to feel & hear a better keyboard than something that just does some lighting show and feels inferior for its price

[calm cobalt]

ok

[calm cobalt]

ill just put rgb around the sides lol

[supple swan]

only to the extent, for instance, that you'd have to use Razer's 9 things of crap running in the background or deal with iCue

[wanton burrow]

... or, have no rgb to deal with in the first place

[supple swan]

which is probably the best approach tbh lol

[wanton burrow]

also, qmk/via exists, which would make you able to do more thigns on ur board such as controlling rgb and macros

also prob further testing the pcbs in terms of custom ones, mainly

[wanton burrow]

_ _

[upper finch]

Very true! Thanks for the advice

[upper finch]

I know it's a weird question. But would you recommend best buy card or just a discover cash back card?

[tender garnet]

Discover if its 1 you've had a while & if best buy card would be new. Well, depends on their perks. 1 of my few cards gives 5% back at certain websites for instance.

[upper finch]

True. Maybe ill just get a store card for best buy. Wonder if that would change things

[upper finch]

Brooo what's up with my credit?
I can't get approved for anything :<

Score I'd 710 doesn't do much

[tender garnet]

Takes years to get a high credit rating for sure

[upper finch]

So far I'm 2 years in with perfect history.

Only thing on there is 2 hard pulls now

Got denied for a 8k car loan and now this lol

Ahhhhh it's not like I don't have a job either

I dont quite understand

[daring zenith]

Might just have to blame it on the economy rn and not yourself

[upper finch]

the one thing that bothers me is that the M27q has that purple bleeding glow to the black color

true back

[tender garnet]

Thnx Fal'Cie.
Frostybox, I also use 0 int cards, or generally pay em off near when each billing cycle ends so there's no late payments or int. I finally tried the multi payment deal from amazon on my new router & that' was helpful.

[undone tide]

are there any contenders to the schiit fulla for less than 100$?

i just need something to power my 80 ohm beyerdynamic bt 770s. i thought i'd survive but the motherboard amp is just too weak for me

music just seems generally quiet to me

[undone tide]

anyone familiar with the FX-Audio DAC-X6?

seems to be right what im looking for but i'd like a second opinion

[rigid valve]

Meizu dongle

Everything else is just

Meh

[wanton burrow]

veclan odyssey hd should also be nice

[steep pelican]

fb tkl going on gb in 5 days

[timber ridge]

you picking one up?

[wanton burrow]

wow

there's a minecraft education edition in some college here

is this a sign?

[rigid valve]

lmao

[steep pelican]

yeah probably

I want a custom keeb again

and I don't think i really want to drop 350 on a frog

Its sounds like a pretty good deal

[timber ridge]

its lowkey worth tho

cant really beat the value since geon does everything in house

i bought a scarlet and now i regret it lol, trying to sell it asap

[undone tide]

I decided to get the FX-Audio DAC-X6. Primarily because for the price and what I'm using it for, I have to give it a try.

[brisk charm]

Hello can anyone recommend me a good wireless mouse for gaming

[neon root]

what kind of shape do you like?

[brisk charm]

There’s shapes 😅I thought they all had the same shape lol

I have the steel series rival 3 and I like that shape if that helps at all sorry 😅

I’ve been lookin at the model o’s but I heard there small and I don’t want too small of a mouse

[daring zenith]

Depends on your hand size and grip, that determines what shape will fit you @brisk charm

[neon root]

two mouse shapes at least for gaming are ergo and ambidextrous, what you have now is an ambidextrous mouse

for the glorious model o, thers two sizes which is the o and o-, the o- is the smaller sized one

[brisk charm]

I like that shape then ambidextrous is the shape i would like to go with again

[daring zenith]

Mouse with a hump will fit palm grip better, mouse without a hump will fit fingertip and claw better, that kinda thing

[brisk charm]

I would like it with the hump since all of the mouses I’ve owned before have had it

I’m not really trying to get use to a new shape unless you guys recommend it

[daring zenith]

Basically, does your entire hand touch the mouse, or only your fingertips

It's just that there's a ton of different shapes, basically every mouse has a slightly different shape

[brisk charm]

My whole hand touches the mouse

[neon root]

comparing the steelseries rival 3 you have, its roughly the same size as the glorious model o-

[brisk charm]

Really ?

[neon root]

yeah, slightly bigger hump though

or at least a steeper hump

otherwise roughly same length height and width

[daring zenith]

G305 might be another option, orochi maybe

[brisk charm]

Hmmm I’ll probably look into the model o then cuz I’ve been wanting it for a while but I’ve always been told it’s small

Is the g305 from Logitech right ?

[daring zenith]

Yes

[neon root]

yeah but i personally wouldnt recommend it unless if its on sale

[daring zenith]

Usually on sale, thought black Friday sales still going for a while

[brisk charm]

For the model o or g305?

[daring zenith]

I'm talking g305

[neon root]

the razer orochi v2 is also good however its not true ambi, slight indent for your thumb to go

slightly smaller though compared to the g305, rival 3 and model o-

length anyways

[brisk charm]

Mmmm I’ll look into that one too probably hit up my micro center and check out a couple of them

I’m looking to probably upgrade my keyboard too I’ve been thinking about the apex pro would y’all recommend that one ?

[neon root]

not really

only thing good about it imo is that its made of metal

[brisk charm]

I honestly just want it cuz it has that cool little screen

[neon root]

id recommend getting a different keyboard

thats like $180 or something?

$200 usd

[brisk charm]

Yeah I mean it’s not hella expensive like those custom keyboards I be seeing out there

[neon root]

you can make a custom keyboard for sub $100 thats better than an apex pro

id recommend just getting a keychron or go for a different keyboard depending on your use case scenario

[brisk charm]

Hmmm yeah you right it’s not that expensive but I can use that 200 for a better ssd 😅mines is low health

[neon root]

depending on what size keyboard you want, 60%, tkl, full, etc. keychron makes good keyboards for a decent price or you can go for some other brands as well like Royal Kludge or something

only keyboard id somewhat recommend since i dont know your actual use case scenario would be one from corsair if you want their G keys since they work with the stream deck software and can be used in various ways

[neon root]

dont know if all their keyboards support it but i know at least one of their keyboards support it

[brisk charm]

I’ve been using a tkl from coolermaster so far and I really like it but honestly i miss my num pad so I might go for a full again but I might just stick with tkl again since it takes less space on my desk

[neon root]

could just stick to what you have right now and just get a numpad by itself so you can connect it or disconnect it whenever
