oo nice

How is half plate? Have yet tried it yet

[tight pulsar]

modulus60

half plate is pretty flexy with 1.2mm pcb so i want to try a full plate

[tight pulsar]

also whoever complains about desoldering with a solder sucker is kinda bad it's really not that bad

ss02 best investment i've made

[sharp kindle]

whats going on up top

[tight pulsar]

the built board?

[toxic pebble]

Probably not quite the place to ask this, but I'm looking for keyboards with Macro Keys and RGB. Mechanical is fine, quieter is better. My previous kit was the Logitech G910 Orion.

[sharp kindle]

yes

the keycaps specifically

[tight pulsar]

you gotta specify which key

the future funk key cause i don't have another ansi pipe and i randomly got a future funk fix kit a bit ago and it had a 1.5u key

the sideway numpad enter cause i those are og dyesubs and not ansi

but i did just buy a crp desko color kit with ansi stuff so it should be fixed in a bit

[tight pulsar]

finally got it built and it feels pretty nice

[cursive oracle]

but yeah i was considering building a speaker

i want to use it to learn soldering

and have another diy chassis project to call my own

[sharp kindle]

ok i see

[final dirge]

Hello. I am trying to find a 5.25 front panel USB hub that has 3 or 4 USB 3.1 connectors and at least 1 USB Type C connector that is Thunderbolt 3 or 4 connectivity. I need this for a PC running Windows 10. Do they make such a thing. I can find lots of these devices that connect via the old 2.0 or 3.1 standard with a max of 5 gig transfer speed, but nothing in the 20-40 transfer speed that Thunderbolt 3 and 4 and USB 4.0 offer. Can anyone help?

[timber ridge]

isnt 1.2 like the thinnest ppl go

and im contemplating if i wanna get a half plate made for my board

[sharp kindle]

bakeneko?

[timber ridge]

nope

[timber ridge]

finally have my Alice built

[gritty kettle]

what are some good wireless headphones for ~$100 usd/~$150 aud

[tight pulsar]

yeah 1.2 is less common than 1.6

[timber ridge]

thinner pcb > flex cuts

[tight pulsar]

hiney had a 1mm pcb for a bit but hasn't restocked in a while

[timber ridge]

I needa pick up h60s for my board

Needa get quotes soon

[lone swift]

How do I clean my key caps?

[steep pelican]

water and soap

or just water

"get some warm water (make sure it's not hot as ABS can be warped if the temperature is too high) and some normal dish soap. Soak the caps in the water for 10 minutes or so then take them out and dry them with a towel. After they've been dried place the caps with the stems facing upwards and leave them to dry overnight. The morning after they've dried take each one individually and with the stems facing downwards tap them on the table to make sure that all of the water has been removed. After all of this they should be freah and clean, ready to put back on your board."

[wanton burrow]

Just wash with lukewarm water + soap if it's abs, or prob just tap water plus soap

[gritty kettle]

any wireless headphone recommendations for around $100 usd?

[scenic flame]

[humble moth]

erm

what about hyperx

[hollow fox]

@craggy abyss What are you downloading to?

Might just be the speed of your storage

costco water

[gritty kettle]

recommendations for a good full sized keyboard? that is reasonably cheap (and has rgb)

[daring zenith]

For cheap, keychron c2 hotswap

[gritty kettle]

oh wow that's expensive

[daring zenith]

is it?

[daring zenith]

should be like 60$

[gritty kettle]

it's like $120

that the lowest i can find it for

[daring zenith]

don't buy it at that price

Shipping is high directly from keychron but
https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-c2-wired-mechanical-keyboard?variant=32312457625689

https://www.bpctech.com.au/product/kbkcc3hbrown-keychron-c2-usb-wired-keyboard-hot-swappable-gateron-rgb-backlit-104-keys-mechanical-keyboard-brown-switch-.html

cheapest i can find it is 110 aud

[daring zenith]

Its okay ig, maybe there's other options for aud though

[gritty kettle]

cant find any

and its 140 on amazon

[nocturne hatch]

Best mouse for gaming ? Wirless or wired?

[daring zenith]

Generally, doesn't really matter, all about preference

[snow briar]

It’s nice not dragging around a tether

[daring zenith]

but technically there's 8khz wired mice

[snow briar]

Tru, not that you’ll actually notice

You do notice that slight drag at the top of your mouse quite a bit more then the extra 5 ms of delay

[tender garnet]

Currently seems overkill and actually no different above 2Khz, according to 1 or 2 reviews on the 8Khz viper.

[little crater]

p sure theres no difference past 1000

i think most gaming mice poll at that rate, and its totally overkill to begin with

[small nimbus]

any nice low profile keyboards besides these? don't really like the colors on whats available there but i really wanna get something low profile

[turbid epoch]

Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro and Corsair K70 Rapidfire RGB

Or Roccat brand.

[floral lake]

ew

those suck

gamer brand stuff is almost always bad

[turbid epoch]

They work fine for me. What makes them bad? Switches? Materials?

[daring zenith]

Pretty sure k4 or whatever is low profile

But other than that, all I got is normal profile

Or was it k2

[small nimbus]

ty

[humble moth]

I use corsair k57

sigh

[queen sigil]

yes

[timber ridge]

yes

[daring zenith]

Switches, material, layout, price, stabs

Etc

[turbid epoch]

Stabs?

[timber ridge]

how much is the k70

[half fable]

K70 Mk.2 is 150ish, at least on corsair's website

[daring zenith]

God damn that price is high

I thought it was like 90

[daring zenith]

Stabilizers

[timber ridge]

yikes

it should be like 90 max

even thats much w gamer tax

[shrewd nebula]

Anyone using razer viper ultimate?

Or any other razer peripherals?

[neon root]

ye, viper ultimate, orochi v2 and viper mini

[still lily]

hello

can sopmeone help me with my mouse it seems to stop working out of no where

i got it around a year ago it is a hyper x haste mouse , my computer makes this noise like it disconnects and then it stops working for a few moments then my mouse works idk what is haoppening

[neon root]

could be a faulty/dying cable or bandwidth issues

[still lily]

how can i figure that out

cause this happens with another mouse i have i connect it to my pc and they just suddenly stop working

[neon root]

if you have multiple things plugged in, could try removing some and seeing if the issue persists, if it does then try another usb port to try and narrow down if its a bandwidth issue. if its happening with another device then faulty/dying cable is less likely the thing that is happening unless both are dying somehow

[still lily]

well i only have my mic usb plugged in the back and my keyboard and the mouse

[neon root]

strange

[still lily]

indeed very strange

can it be my pc ?? maybe

also when i move my mouse fast ,my pc does the connect and disconnect sound

[tame canopy]

could be cable, if there is a lot of stress on a part of the cable, it could get damaged. Kind of like phone chargers having the connectors ripped off because of heavy use

and the tiniest movements could be the difference between a disconnect and reconnect so that may explain that issue

[fleet dew]

who all has a membrane keyboard

[west hornet]

i have 2 magic keyboards

and than a wireless dell membrane

[tender garnet]

[glad yarrow]

and its fine

[timber ridge]

@tight pulsar you gonna pick up that gmk griseann set you linked b4?

[burnt shore]

Been using a K100 for about a year now—would getting a Glorious GMMK Pro/TKL be a good investment? The idea of hotswappable switches sounds really appealing to me

[neon root]

depending on how much you want to get into custom keyboards. if you just want a 75% with hotswappable, itd be better to go with a keychron instead since itd be cheaper unless you specifically want the knob thats on the gmmk pro

[harsh kestrel]

Pls help pick out the perfect wrist support mat

Im basically down to two choices

[wraith swift]

I have a Logitech g432 headset and that the mic sometimes doesn’t pick up my voice and also when it does it is statically, is there anything I can do or do I need to get another headset/mic

[sharp kindle]

Griseann so lit

[velvet temple]

are you using teh usb adapter

[wraith swift]

Ya

I tried with a splitter as well

[velvet temple]

are you on windows desktop or laptop

[wraith swift]

Desktop

[velvet temple]

ok try different usb ports or go into settings and update teh drivers

also download teh logitech app

[wraith swift]

I’ve tried different USB ports, and have the app and no new updates for drivers

[timber ridge]

Thinking about picking up a set

[velvet temple]

maybe instead of updating drivers revert them

[wraith swift]

I’ll try once I get on my desktop

[steep pelican]

i mean q2 has knob as well

[queen sigil]

knobs overrated

unless ur making diy SVDX controller

[tight pulsar]

y'all see q4 or whatever it was called

[gleaming pond]

What's q4 going to be?

Q3 is TKL

[rigid valve]

Uh

I’m hoping for an 1800

But unlikely

Prolly 60

[gleaming pond]

Yep it's a 60%

Keychron's confusing name scheme continues

[tight pulsar]

ah no q9 https://www.keychron.com/pages/keychron-q9-customizable-mechanical-keyboard

looks really dumb

[timber ridge]

bruh

as if arisu wasnt bad enough lol

[still lily]

can someone help me with how to download something ionto a usb drive

so i can update my bios since im in a very old version

[tender garnet]

download what - which mobo model? updating bios from flash drive is ez depending on mobo, but that's how I did my P45 and current z77 bios...

!ask

[neon quartz]

https://dontasktoask.com/

[wanton burrow]

yeah hopefully they don't fail on the layout designing for their 1800

not sure if that pic someone sent on the simp group was the real render coz the frow is utter chaos

[timber ridge]

somehow arisu is getting worse with every new drop

Moveable numpad should be a common thing tbh. That's all I can say now. Video won't load for me yet

[queen sigil]

im just not a fan

id rather just but a streamdeck and an external numpad

[neon root]

itd be nice if it was cheaper but the price is just oof

[tender garnet]

Link to a decent external numpad? I never thought about one.

[queen sigil]

just like google numpad

27”/1080p Monitor recommendations? I’m wanting to have 2 stacked horizontally. I’ll have a 3rd monitor that’ll be alongside those but I have that one locked and loaded. Lol

[gleaming pond]

Sure you want 1080p at 27 inches

Also I'd probably just ask in #old-monitors-and-tv

[calm cobalt]

OH!

I didnt see the displays channel

derp

[snow briar]

Hello #old-monitors-and-tv here. Just get two M27q’s. Alright I gotta run

[hushed condor]

Should i get a protection plan for the g502 since it i guess typically breaks after a yr

idk how the newegg protection plan works tho

[white flame]

Depends on how heavy you game and what you play honestly. I play a lot of mmos so my left click started double clicking after 7 months. They gave me a new one under warranty.

[hushed condor]

How long is the default warranty if you know

[white flame]

1 year

[hushed condor]

Do you think 10.99 for 3yrs is worth the warranty

[white flame]

Well, what do you play and how often?

[hushed condor]

I play like everyday but mostly just FPS's

[white flame]

Well, fps involves a lot of left clicking so might be worth it. It's through squaretrade right?

[hushed condor]

Yea

Im not too sure what squaretrade even offers tho

[white flame]

They've got basically extended warranties. In this case it might be a 3 year warranty in addition to the 1 year factory warranty, with 1 year full replacement after with 2 years of partial replacement after that.

[hushed condor]

mm ok

[queen sigil]

we do a little aliexpress shopping

[timber ridge]

[wanton burrow]

[queen sigil]

ackspace is ad like it always is

[wanton burrow]

oh well think it's $25-35 usually

oh yeah 35 here locally

25 on taobao

[queen sigil]

yeah i got both kits for around 80ish on aliexpress

[wanton burrow]

nice

wanna try domikeys as well but the kitting seems painful

$100 bucks for all except the doubleshot alphas

not friendly towards my hypothetical financial capacity

[white flame]

I swear people switch to another language when talking about keyboards

This must be how it feels for less technical people listening to us talk about PCs

[timber ridge]

are those the new abs doubleshot clones ?

[queen sigil]

i thino

think

[timber ridge]

is doubleshot and abs lol

[queen sigil]

yes

[timber ridge]

then ye theyre the new set of clones coming out

you can get them on amazon with prime im p sure for about the same price

[queen sigil]

some of the modd are messed up

but besides that they aint warped or anything

[timber ridge]

[queen sigil]

ikr, can't believe people aren't somehow tracking my every purchase to find out I have gear that can sync with wallpaper engine and telling me 🙄

[sharp kindle]

fr4 icky but ok

browns are very cool

[neon root]

leyo, or anyone really, when i press on my spacebar lightly i can see on the right side it goes down more/quicker? than the left. my assumption is that the wire isnt even and is slightly off

to even it, would i just use some plyers and twist it slightly until its even?

[daring zenith]

Is it lubed?

[neon root]

ye

[daring zenith]

evenly lubed?

[neon root]

ye

[daring zenith]

not sure on how to straighten out wire

[neon root]

a youtuber ive seen a few times, wildcat, tries to straighten out the wires of stabs if needed and they use plyers but not sure if theres other/safer ways or anything

maybe could just be uneven lubing

[tight pulsar]

if you need to straighten the wires your stabs wires just suck

[neon root]

well theyre what comes with the keyboard

dont plan on buying stabs for this keyboard since this was my "cheap" build to get me into the hobby

[timber ridge]

at that point you might aswell get alu

[sharp sun]

do chairs count as periphrials?

[floral lake]

yes

in a way

[sharp sun]

im looking, been drooling over the secretlab Titan Softweave for a while now

im using a kitchen chair rn and i hate it

the issue is i cant sit in the Titan before i buy it

and its like 430 bucks

[white flame]

Do you get sweaty while gaming? A good mesh bottom office chair is good for that, I got mine for $160 and I love it

[sharp sun]

i want that chair but its hard to stomach the price, and if the chair is gonna be worth it\

no

i cant ever remeber sweating gaming

i sat in the mesh chairs and hated them

i like high back chairs lol

[white flame]

Cushions can be good then, especially if you're on the lighter side. They'll wear out eventually and you'll need to add a cushion

[sharp sun]

Yeaaaaah I want one

Reading 36 plus pages of reviews

The chair sells itself

[shut cobalt]

hey what headset is better steelseries arctis 7p or hyperx cloud 2 wireless?

[sharp sun]

I’ve heard good things about steel series

Bois@down to preference

[shut cobalt]

what?

[sharp sun]

Boils

Down

To

Preference

🙃

[shut cobalt]

oh ok

[shut cobalt]

but the problem is that some features i like one from the other so thats why i asked its really a tough choice

i like the two volume wheel on the arctis 7p and the tiny doungle and the insane range they have but the cloud 2 looks good and comfort

[wanton burrow]

g502 if you like a heavier mouse or be able to adjust the weight but both are good and have very slightly different shapes but similar

[tight pulsar]

ay wob stuff will be here on the 28/9th nice

[gritty kettle]

do you know what one is larger because i have quite large hands

[tight pulsar]

dang linears feel weird after only using tactiles for a while

[neon root]

the logitech is a bit longer and wider but the razer is a tiny bit taller at the hump

the width im not sure if they are accounting for the thumb rest

[gritty kettle]

I was thinking about a G502 mouse

I kinda want wireless to keep the cable clutter die

some really shined wob caps from an 1800 board

but it was 6u bottom row so needed some other wob keys for a normal bottom row

[timber ridge]

i needa harvest some wob caps

[sharp sun]

god i really wanna buy the secretlab titan

[sharp sun]

i am like ungodly close

i am considering doing a pay per month thing too, its just a lot of money lol

[round arch]

Anyone know of a headset that doesn't hurt? Like it either super hurts the top of my head or it hurts my ears like none other. I have a Logitech G332 and I love that but somehow the mic doesn't like to pick up audio and if it does it's garbled like crazy and static. Otherwise it's my favorite headset. Just not about to spend $300 on it. The cushion on the top is nice but the ears do hurt around the edges after a while. Wireless ideally and a mute ability is needed for bathroom runs. Wireless cause cat. If it has Bluetooth that's a extra plus but not looking to spend more than $100 if possible. Money's forever tight and something like that really sets me back and makes things hard for the rest of the month.

And copy paste that to add to reddit.

But yea, any recommendations?

[sharp sun]

Alright. Ordered it

Bank account and I are having a sob session but it’s gonna be worth it

[daring zenith]

I mean, in general, something like dekoni pads might be worth looking into for any decent headphones, but wireless headphones tend to be not the greatest and expensive. One option is going for smth like Moondrop Aria and just get a separate mic, won't be able to hear the bathroom if the mic isn't in the bathroom.

It weighs 85 pounds without anyone in it

[sharp sun]

Idk if I should go glass lol, it sounds nice

Clearly I must have the money if I just spent what I did on a chair 😭

I think I may sleep in it for the first week just to help it break in a bit, I’m quite excited

[wanton burrow]

Logikek mx master 2s or a basilisk x?

Wondering if the master 2s is a decent invesment

[true depot]

Does anyone know if I would still have to rely on Linux PulseAudio when using a USB sound card like the SoundBlasterX G-series or the Douk Audio P1?

[wraith swift]

Just keep the headset and get like a $40 blue snowball

Or a different mic that is cheap

[west hornet]

hyperx solocast rather than snowball

[wraith swift]

I had both but I liked the snowball better

What ever is convenient at the time

[calm cobalt]

@rigid valve yes it is

[west hornet]

snowball is just very nasally

[rain gust]

What’s a decent video card that’s a reasonable price

[floral lake]

what even is your budget lol

[west hornet]

Impossible

Mobile devices like laptops, steam deck, consoles are probably better value than pc rn

[shadow bane]

Ehh

Depends

Mobile versions have worse performance than their desktop counterparts

A 3060 laptop for 1.1k or an abs 3060 build for 1300, the desktop will have like 15% better gpu perf, cpu depends

Also heating differences

There's also an open box 3060 build for I think 1107$ rn

[glad yarrow]

one thing to remember here @shadow bane is for a desktop you need to purchase a monitor as well

[shadow bane]

True

[glad yarrow]

thats gonna cost you 100-200$ extra on average

[shadow bane]

And keyboard and such

[glad yarrow]

abs prebuilts come with keeb and mouse

[shadow bane]

Honestly it comes to personal preference imo

If you need to be mobile, laptop is worth it

Obviously

But if it's stationary, I'd pay the extra few hundred for the better perf and Temps

[glad yarrow]

temps are fine on laptops

[shadow bane]

Rawr

[glad yarrow]

they are meant to run at 90-95C

[shadow bane]

I just ordered a 3050 ti laptop for 730$ :p

[glad yarrow]

unlike desktops

[glad yarrow]

sheeeeeesh

[shadow bane]

Yeah, it's safe but it can be uncomfortable if on lap

And some laptops are made poorly and keyboards get hot

[glad yarrow]

the cpu isnt on lap directly

[shadow bane]

For example

My brothers laptop

10750h 2070s mq, omen 15

Bottom of the laptop gets very hot

[glad yarrow]

theres actually regulation in place that governs over how hot laptop bodies can get

[shadow bane]

Before I bought my pc I tried an acer triton something or other

But I think 30 series laptops have better Temps too

Not sure as for mobile cpus

[tender garnet]

ikr. I noticed on that small pic where it mentions falling for the joke 3+ times. Hilarious

what wireless headphones would you recommend for about $100-$150

[timber ridge]

for pc use or mobile?

[wet dirge]

both but mostly pc

[gritty kettle]

i have heard that the austrian audio hi-x25bt are good

[timber ridge]

i dont have any recommendation for wireless headphones on pc

especially if you use bt its so wonky

[wanton burrow]

a good headphone that's not power hungry + wireless dac/amp could be a nice choice

[timber ridge]

the dac/amp would eat up his whole budget p much

[wanton burrow]

either one would eat it up if you're getting at least a good one lol

[wet dirge]

do you have any recommendations for wired headphones?

[daring zenith]

What's your budget and preferences?

[wet dirge]

My budget is $100 - $150 usd. I don't care if they are over ear or on ear and they need to be comfortable enough to wear for a long time. I would prefer a mic, but don't need one and I would like a wire that can be unplugged from the headphones.

Since on ear is an option, a lighter option could be ksc75/porta pro with an apple dongle

(could get new pads for those)

An over ear option could be k361 with an apple dongle

[shadow bane]

Question with a followup question: do most laptops nowadays come with Bluetooth? If so, would Bluetooth earbuds be fine for voice chat or would smthn wired be much better

I know Bluetooth headphones tend to have meh mics

[west hornet]

i always prefer wired but the vast majority of consumer laptops have bluetooth

[calm cobalt]

Open or closed back?

[wet dirge]

closed back

[calm cobalt]

Hmm

So headphones only or also IEMs?

[wet dirge]

headphones only

[calm cobalt]

😔

[rigid valve]

Yes and wired better

[shadow bane]

Figured

Thinking about going wireless earbuds since i need a new pair anyways, and I need smthn to use with my laptop

[timber ridge]

bt on windows is really wonky

if you have airpods and a macbook, that might be a nice combo

[latent hull]

Do you guys have some suggestions for studio monitors under 300 usd

[shadow bane]

Any reccs on decent budget headphones with mic? They're a secondary pair to use with a laptop, so don't have to be high end

Just as long as mic is decent, it works

[daring zenith]

Gmr air

[shadow bane]

Ty

[sharp kindle]

that shine is so hot

also cmyk mods

[lost geyser]

LOL

[lost geyser]

whats your budget and were u looking for a prebuilt or custom?

mods can someone just pin mechmap from mechkeys

[cursive oracle]

i realized my azza "gaming" kb is mechanical, can i just replace the switches and call it a day?

[lost geyser]

is it hotswap?

if not you would have to desolder and solder on new switches

[cursive oracle]

it is

[lost geyser]

@tight pulsar

[cursive oracle]

confirmed it is hotswap

[lost geyser]

then yeah u can buy whatever mx switches u want and pop them in

[cursive oracle]

so do i need new keycaps or just smitches?

[lost geyser]

nah just new switches, u need a switch puller too

[cursive oracle]

wait

if that's the case

do i need to add these for the entire kb?

[lost geyser]

wdym

[cursive oracle]

all 104 or so keys

[lost geyser]

you dont have to

[cursive oracle]

or just the 60 i need

maybe compress it

[lost geyser]

you could just do the X amount u actually use

[cursive oracle]

can i trim the kb then

[lost geyser]

if u wanted u could have a different switch for every key in your board

wdym trim?

[cursive oracle]

like cut the numerical keypad off

[lost geyser]

like physically?

[cursive oracle]

yeah

dremel

[lost geyser]

no i would not do that

[cursive oracle]

okay

how do i grab the keys off

name of that tool

[lost geyser]

keycap puller (or u can use ur hands to remove the keycaps, i dont recommend this tho), and a switch puller

both of which u can find on amazon for cheap

[cursive oracle]

okay didn't realize the name

[lost geyser]

u can find 2 in 1s that have both

https://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Mechanical-Keyboard-Removing-keyboard/dp/B075CZCTXM/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2TRPKFUH7VBPN&keywords=switch+puller&qid=1643576584&sprefix=switch+puller%2Caps%2C81&sr=8-3

Something like this

[cursive oracle]

now i see

arent they like 7 bucks

[lost geyser]

yeah like 5 bucks

[cursive oracle]

i saw

that one is 5

[lost geyser]

yeah find whatever comes quickest tbh

and is cheap

[cursive oracle]

and keyswitches?

red

[lost geyser]

for switches, what were u looking for? linear, tactile, or clicky

easiest to start there

[cursive oracle]

linear

[lost geyser]

whats your budget?

[cursive oracle]

the noise is annoying

whatever atm

how much do they go for

[lost geyser]

were u planning on lubing

it really depends

[cursive oracle]

n0

not lubing

i could use about 60 pcs

[lost geyser]

like jwicks are basically 6 for 25 (anywhere in the west is overpriced for them) where as something 'higher end' like durocks are 65 cents per

[cursive oracle]

oof

[lost geyser]

so 6.5 for 10, i think durock poms are 7 dollars for 10

[cursive oracle]

i saw 10 for 15

cherry mx

[lost geyser]

i would not advise cherry mx switches, while they are like kinda considered the kings u need t o do a lot of effort to get them there

if that makes sense

like breaking them in and lubing is non optional

[cursive oracle]

nvm

which brand

[lost geyser]

hm

if u dont plan on lubing

and want to go cheap

[cursive oracle]

what does brown do

[lost geyser]

cherry browns?

[cursive oracle]

the 90pcs for 40

[lost geyser]

theres multiple manus that sell browns

they are usually tactiles

im assuming ur talking about cherry browns which are a light tactile

[cursive oracle]

gateron

[lost geyser]

gateron browns are tactiles

[cursive oracle]

red

gateron red

[lost geyser]

reds are usually gonna be linears

yeah those ae linears

[cursive oracle]

they're the same price regardless of color here

[lost geyser]

yeah

its the same tooling/same switch basically

just with a different stem and leaf

different manus have different prices

[cursive oracle]

this brand i meant

[lost geyser]

and have different toolings/blends or materials accordingly

gateron?

[cursive oracle]

ye

can i get used

[lost geyser]

u could, are u in the US?

[cursive oracle]

ye

wait what was that

wrong link?

[lost geyser]

ugh i cant send links here

nah wont let me

[cursive oracle]

dm me

[lost geyser]

do u mind if i dm u?

[cursive oracle]

pls

[lost geyser]

decent factory lube, really cheap

[daring zenith]

Pro yellows and ks3 are pretty well lubed afaik

[lost geyser]

no factory lube is good

gat pros are good

[gleaming pond]

Gazzew switches are usually lubed well stock

[lost geyser]

which gazzew switch are u referring to in particular

[rigid valve]

wrong

Gateron pros and JWICKS have very good factory lube

[lost geyser]

very good compared to other factory lubes maybe lol

[rigid valve]

They’re literally good

Your baseless stigmatism against prelube demonstrates a very inexperienced and child-like perception of a complex hobby and gives me a good indication of how YouTubers are leveraging popular opinion to farm views whilst reinforcing these incorrect ideologies

[gleaming pond]

Referring to the u4ts but I believe it's similarly good for all of their switches

[lost geyser]

yikes

[rigid valve]

Gazzew is more an oil iirc

[gleaming pond]

Wait actually you might be right

[lost geyser]

u4ts have a thin layer which definitely is nice

[gleaming pond]

Time to open my nixdork top and bottom u4ts

[lost geyser]

i dont really watch keybros and u have no reason to be so aggressive about this lmfao

maybe i can see the argument that a new persons lube job is poorer than a good factory

but thats not what you were saying

[rigid valve]

I’m saying that Jwicks prelube is good

And it is

Is hand lube better? Absolutely

[lost geyser]

in relation to what

[rigid valve]

But that doesn’t make jwick or gateron pro lube bad

[gleaming pond]

While I do agree he is being a little aggressive I also believe that assuming anything factory lube is always bad is just wrong

[lost geyser]

when did i say factory lube is always bad

[rigid valve]

Here

[lost geyser]

most switches are factory lubed anyways

[rigid valve]

Wrong

Most have oil

[gleaming pond]

Uh no

[rigid valve]

Oil is not lube

[gleaming pond]

Not really

[lost geyser]

unless specifically stated then yes

[rigid valve]

So

[lost geyser]

i see, my bad i meant in relation to hand lubing

which i said next

[rigid valve]

No you didn’t

Sorry autocorrect

I get in fights a lot

[lost geyser]

'very good compared to other factory lubes maybe lol'

yeah lol u gotta chill

[rigid valve]

Good hand lube is better than good factory lube

But good factory lube is still good

Compared to no lube, bad factory lube, and mediocre hand lube

[lost geyser]

well im glad we agree

[daring zenith]

Anyways, pro yellow, ks3, and gazzew switches should be good factory

[queen sigil]

What are some good budget speakers

I forgot that I need speakers

I saw a gaming soundbar that I was gonna get… but I’m not sure

It’s only $40

But

Wait no

I was gonna get

Redragon GS520 Anvil RGB Desktop Speakers, 2.0 Channel PC Computer Stereo Speaker with 6 Colorful LED Modes, Enhanced Sound and Easy-Access Volume Control, USB Powered w/ 3.5mm Cable https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GK9LCRW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_QFJ34H7BFYN56YNADM3N

[tender garnet]

[queen sigil]

yea but why are you looking for gaming speakers

[rain gust]

🧍because I need speakers

The monitor I have doesn’t have interpreted speakers

[bleak ember]

Anything labeled "gaming" audio related usually is going to be awful

[rain gust]

*integrated

The speakers I found aren’t labeled gaming

[rain gust]

These

I lost that soundbar I saw

But I’m just trying to find some good speakers

Because my monitor doesn’t have any

[bleak ember]

They are manufactured by Redragon.

[rain gust]

I don’t know anything about red dragon

I looked it up

Looks pretty nice

I see another keyboard… oh no, this is gonna be the third one I get I don’t need it

I don’t need it

… it so pretty

It’s a

Keychron

Q1

I’m all over the place, my apologies

[daring zenith]

Keychron is fun

but q1 and other custom boards are expensive

[rain gust]

It is

I might ask for it as a present for the holidays or save

It’ll be a treat

[amber orchid]

Not a gamer, but want decent wifi connection in the house.
Currently have a Netgear R8000 and a Netgear AC750 Range extender. All things being equal, would one expect a MK64 (netgear) to perform better, or might you smart folks here have a better suggestion?

[white flame]

If you've got a bit to spend and a larger home (2000+ sq. ft) a mesh router system would be great. Much better than range extenders. With a 750 rated range extender you're actually limited to 375 mb connection speed max with perfect signal because it's using half the bandwidth to communicate with the router and half for devices.

[rigid valve]

Basically this ^

Mesh is supreme if you’ve got some spare cash

[shadow bane]

are there any differences from the gmr-545 air and 540-ISO?

other than the 540 costing an extra 10$?

[snow briar]

Any good webcam recommendations?

[neon root]

what are you using the webcam for?

just for like zoom meetings or streaming or anything specific?

[snow briar]

I’m assuming meetings but something that delivers a clear enough image

It’s for a buddy and I have no real idea what a all around decent webcam would be

[neon root]

if its just for meetings, something like a logitech c920 or higher would be good enough

[snow briar]

Alright ty

[bleak prairie]

Is the ducky one 2 mini good

[lost geyser]

not particularly

if you wanted a nice prebuilt check out leopold

[shadow bane]

1080p on 15in is so crisp

this is so nice

[gritty kettle]

true

i cant see each pixel

[manic reef]

Is there such thing as a Bluetooth (or otherwise wireless) webcams that I can position freely - even if it needs a power cable? I’d like to use it with a mac and maybe a PC but probably not.

I’ve heard of the “Logitech Mevo Start, Wireless Live Streaming Camera” but i don’t know if this is what I’m looking for

I heard that’s not great as a webcam though? Honestly don’t know where to look. I’m ok if it needs a usb dongle to receive the signal

@ me if you do - I’m putting my phone down but don’t want to miss it

[timber ridge]

if you hav an old phone laying around there is an app that allows you to use it as a webcam

its free, but if you pay for it then you get a watermark free footage

[manic reef]

What app? Android or iOS specific?

[timber ridge]

i think its called irium and ik it works on android fs since thats wat i used it on

been a while since then so i cant really say much

[west hornet]

there are multiple apps for both ios and android, some people even use obs virtual cam

[gritty kettle]

i use droidcam

[glad yarrow]

droidcam is bad use iriun webcam

no limit on camera quality

[manic reef]

Still looking for a dedicated one like “concept Pari” from Dell

@glad yarrow @gritty kettle @west hornet

[west hornet]

I don't know of any specifically, why you want wireless? if you are fine with a power cable i'd imagine having a usb cable for webcam wired is sufficient

[rain cypress]

What is a good brand for entry level gaming mice?

[daring zenith]

What budget

Every brand makes good and bad products

[rain cypress]

preferably under $50

i am brand new to pc gaming and have no idea what to look for

[daring zenith]

Probably worth looking at viper mini on the smaller side, smth more like g502 on the bigger side for wired mice, depending on the size of your hand, and g305 is an option for wireless

[rain cypress]

ok, thanks

[neon root]

a little over budget, but the razer orochi v2 is at $58 rn which is slightly more ergo than an ambidextrous mouse and its wireless. it has gone one sale for $45 a few times in the past

its also on the smaller size as well

razer deathadder v2 mini is also $20 rn if you want a smaller ergo mouse

[rain cypress]

ok

[calm cobalt]

G 203 is nice

[gritty kettle]

i like the g305 a lot

thoughts?

[daring zenith]

Quite expensive mic

[thick tartan]

so not worth?

its for my gf shes records music and shes been looking for a studio mic for recording and stuff

i am open to other options ofc

[daring zenith]

Just vocals or music in general?

[thick tartan]

vocals

[daring zenith]

Might want to stick with dynamic mics like maybe q2u on the cheaper end

[thick tartan]

kk

[daring zenith]

Condenser mics will pick up more noise and therefore better for general music recording afaik

[daring zenith]

I was just thinking you might want to get an xlr interface for mv7, but dunno if something like a m track solo will drive it

And smth like elgado wave is another 160$

[thick tartan]

gotcha

ill see which one i end pulling the trigger on

money isnt an issue x)

[west hornet]

The mv7 is a nice mic, basically the usb sm7b personally its a little too warm for me but a lot of people love the warmth. Some actually prefer the usb sound over the xlr on that one interestingly enough

For vocal recordings I prefer condenser mics, so for a similar price but xlr, the rode nt1. But if you do not have sound treated space it is better to go dynamic like the mv7, q2u, sE v7, etc

[tight pulsar]

👀 might be picking this up soon

2003 domes so nice

[timber ridge]

nachos do you know if tadpole mount negatively affects sound sig?

tryna decide ona mounting system

[tight pulsar]

uh i haven't really dealt with tadpole much but i assume it would be similar to how burger mounting a top/bottom mount board would affect the sound

[timber ridge]

prob gonna stick with top then

kinda want it somewhat bouncy but gummy isnt an option since its alice

and i dont wanna do gasket tbh

[tight pulsar]

just use a softer plate

and more flexible pcb

[timber ridge]

alu plate sounds so good tho

and we're gonna use mechlovin pcb

we could do half plate or pp plate idk

relieve cuts near mounting points may help too

[tight pulsar]

which pcb?

half plate adds a ton of flex, even with the flex cuts taped on my plain60 with alu half plate i can hit the bottom of the case by pushing down

but my full pc with untaped 1.2mm pcb hardly flexes

[timber ridge]

https://mechlovin.studio/collections/pcb/products/adelais-tgr-alice-clones-compatible-pcb

its on the thicker side

dont wanna get a commission a pcb so sticking with wats available

[tight pulsar]

ah an alice board

[timber ridge]

ye otherwise id jus do gummy mount tbh

we have a 60% being made rn with gummy/top

[tight pulsar]

huh alice plates have interesting mounting points because the curve

stiff spacebars

did one of you design it or commission?

[timber ridge]

we did a rough sketch of the exterior in fusion then commissioned a friend to refine and do internal/mounting system

hali is doing all the hardwork lol

[tight pulsar]

what do the designs look like?

[timber ridge]

alice as of now we jus decided on toblerone weight and small weight like the one above

but internal weight will probably be shaped to follow alphas instead of being a regular bar

[tight pulsar]

the toblerone weight is going to be funky to get good tolerances maybe

[timber ridge]

ye maybe, nothing is really set in stone as of now so we're messing with ideas

[tight pulsar]

i was thinking about getting a tkl done with lz re side profile or similar to hiney's board

[timber ridge]

sheesh

i wanna do grill bottom for one of my boards

and the seam on that is nice

ima fan of it

[tight pulsar]

grill bottom looks nice but not a big fan of the area where it meets the screwholes

or bumpons

[timber ridge]

i wanna try grill bottom + weight but i dont wanna do jane bottom

might jus scrap the idea as a whole

i also wanna do something similar to internal cl weight kinda

where theres a trim weight around the main weight

[tight pulsar]

i assume you mean cloudline and not 356cl

i feel like the jane bottom is a little too busy, but like how they did the ce internal weight

[timber ridge]

ye cloudline

yuktsi did offset weight right for jane

[tight pulsar]

it's over the alphas yeah

[timber ridge]

we're gonna aim for something like this for internal weight

but the outer cutout will jus show a bar

prob will be ss too since i wanna do pink ano

[tight pulsar]

1895U is a nice pantone for pink, noxary used it for one of his 60s

[timber ridge]

was gonna do 699u

or c

cant remember

and our manu isnt really known for insane ano or anything so it might be slight dif

testing our luck with a smaller place oppose to something like dds or some

[tight pulsar]

dds is pretty expensive isn't it

kinda tempted to get a backpiece similar to this on my tkl and have it brushed, kneedeep does it so well https://www.instagram.com/p/CY6avlfMi-p/

Hi

And dds quote was like 200 more than current manu

And it's cheap asf to run dif colors / engravings

[tight pulsar]

sup

200 more is overall i assume cause 200 per would be a ton

[timber ridge]

200 overall

We didn't discuss running dif colors/engravings either so that could of been more

[brisk parcel]

it's been a long time

my audio has come a long way

I have my Sundaras, 6XXs, rebelamp

oh i still haven't gotten an audio upgrade yet

I took a break from audio and did kb stuff

I want new iems tho

[brisk parcel]

haven't dipped into iems tbh

I should

I mean I have my OG 1more quads

but

[timber ridge]

All I use are iems really

[tight pulsar]

i just switch between headphones and iems randomly

[brisk parcel]

honestly same lmao

I feel that

been so busy man

crazy stuff

[shadow bane]

are there any differences between these

[timber ridge]

cant really tell by the image but one may be open back while the other is closed

[shadow bane]

idr know what the diff is

well

i can guess what the physical diff is

but idk what it causes

[timber ridge]

if youre in an isolated environment, id go with open back

itll leak out noise more but you prob will get better soundstage

[shadow bane]

alr thanks

theyre a secondary pair to use with my laptop

[tight pulsar]

wedge

[lost geyser]

Hm

Definitely a keyboard

[timber ridge]

the correct layout too

split shift, stepped cap, 7u and full back

[sharp kindle]

That shine

Scoops too

[tight pulsar]

yeh

they were off an og 1800 board so 6u bottom row, i like the cmyw mods a lot on the bottom row after using them more

[gritty kettle]

No numpad

[white flame]

Get separate numpad

[gritty kettle]

[remote sail]

any budget recommendations lol

[timber ridge]

realforce numpad nice

or you can jus build a macro pad

[wanton burrow]

or just get an 1800 board lol

[lilac veldt]

can some one tell me good mechanical full keyboard for gaming under 100 bucks

[daring zenith]

C2 hotswap prob

Leopold a bit over budget

[lilac veldt]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085ZDXGZW/ref=twister_B08R77JND9?_encoding=UTF8&th=1yo is this good

[floral lake]

eh

just go with keychron c2 hotswap

[wanton burrow]

wtf

that looks so cursed

jsut get either keychrons or better, leopold

mechanicalkeyboards . com ships on usa for free i think

not sure

but is prob cheap enough anyways so

[gritty kettle]

Is there actually any problem with me using my dell kb1421 for gaming?

Because I don't like mech keyboards

[bleak ember]

Most gaming keyboards don't make you "better" at gaming it's mainly about comfort that can make you "better"

Whatever is most comfortable to you is best

Obviously latency matters in terms of peripherals also but most of the time it's not a noticeable difference

[floral lake]

^

[wanton burrow]

some do prefer non mx mechanical boards lol

some do prefer rubber domes as well

[tight pulsar]

bout to fight whoever made this layout

I'm using a 15 year old keyboard that came with my mom's hp windows xp computer, so no a gaming keyboard is not a necessity

[gritty kettle]

im using a 10 year old one that came with a computer at my dad's work

and i have used a couple of different mech keyboards and i dont like how the actuation isnt right at the bottom of the press

[tacit wing]

hello

glad to still see some familiar faces on this channel

[mossy grotto]

hey does anyone know if there is like pudding keycaps but fully of the Translucent part, i can find any but they would look really good

[lost geyser]

what does this mean; the entire keycap is translucent?

[mossy grotto]

yea that’s what i was looking for

[lost geyser]

pom jelly exists but idk how well rgb goes through it

[mossy grotto]

cause like i currently have these

[lost geyser]

🧐

hey i have those

[mossy grotto]

the rgb goes through really nice

[lost geyser]

somewhere in my closet

[mossy grotto]

lmao

[lost geyser]

i will say, with pudding keycaps, typically the legending is quite poor and they are thin

they are thin obviously because they want rgb to go through (and its cheaper)

[mossy grotto]

well yea

i personally like the dim low it has

[tacit wing]

ZA13-B with discontinued Agile Paracord and BTL Grips

[timber ridge]

how are the grips

[tacit wing]

its kind of like a hybrid between the Razer grips and Lizard skins

its sticky for the first few days

but it begins to dry out after a week or so, but retains gripiness

[timber ridge]

bet bet, i got some grips that are otw

waiting on cny to end inna like a day to ship out my order

[tacit wing]

which ones

👀

[sharp sun]

Alright as of tonight I’m in the new market for a headset, wireless, and surround sound would be great, I love my Logitech Keyboard and mat, and would love to get a Logitech headset and mouse to top it off

[queen sigil]

i just have razer viper ultimate from amazon

[tacit wing]

productivity or gaming mouse?

hi leyo

[sharp sun]

Gaming, really like the G502 Hero

The freewheel is nice, it would take some getting used to

[tacit wing]

and you just wanna go wireless?

[sharp sun]

To keep the clutter down, less cables and such yeah, it would be nice tbh

I’ve got a lot of other stuff on my mind and need to try and sleep, I may look around tommorow

[tacit wing]

G305 is a good entry point and easy on the wallet too, with the caveat that its battery powered

G703 is a great shape but it uses the first iteration of the HERO sensor which is power hungry and drains the battery faster than other wireless Logitech G mice

G303 Shroud Edition is fantastic but the shape is super niche and can only work if you pincher claw

G Pro X Superlight is the safest choice out of the bunch since the shape is super inoffensive but its $$$$

anyways those are my thoughts on some wireless Logi mice TLDR version @sharp sun

[queen sigil]

hi welcome back

[tacit wing]

i came back because a certain someone is gone

[queen sigil]

idk who that someone is

but also is there viper uptimate tape that covers the side

becuase my pinky sometimes slips and hits side button

and thats not good

[tacit wing]

i love my RVU

super glossy from all the wear and tear

i might honestly get another copy because my copy has the V1 switches which are super mushy and has the squeaky issue

[tacit wing]

Skiptrace

[queen sigil]

i got mine for like 88$ on amazon

including the charger stand

[tacit wing]

yeah theyre still on sale now

$85 on my Amazon

the FK shape is stil great for my relax claw but will probably spend that money trying out another shape tbh

[queen sigil]

i've clawed a palmgrip mouse for a long time so my pinky likes to rest high

but compared to my okd mouse its also alot lighter and alot smoother

[tacit wing]

https://lethalgaminggear.com/collections/bt-l-grips-razer/products/bt-l-grips-razer-viper-viper-ultimate

[queen sigil]

are all of these for the viper

[tacit wing]

yeah they just used a GPX for the model

look at the pink one

[queen sigil]

also cut right

[tacit wing]

yeah theyre precut for your RVU

the specific link i sent

[queen sigil]

yeah i see

hm

[tacit wing]

iirc Amazon also carries BTL Grips but idk about precuts for the RVU

Corepad grips are cheaper at 9.99 but they have no designs just black/white

black and blue looks not bad

alot of other things would look better on white but i have black viper

[tacit wing]

i definitely do not suggest going for light colors unless you have the habit of washing your hands everytime before you sit down on ur desk

light colored grips get dirty easily

[queen sigil]

yeah i learned that with my gray mousepad

[tacit wing]

its 9 dollars on x-raypad if youre willing to wait for China shipping times

LMAO

not including shipping tho

ngl it looks sick

[tacit wing]

[gritty kettle]

im currently using corsair hs45 but the headband snapped and its held together with liquid nails

[tacit wing]

the thing about gaming headsets is that if you go with any established brand and you only use it for gaming, ypu most likely won't have a bad experience

[gritty kettle]

would IEMs be viable to use
