How do you benchmark speaker cables? I'm trying to decide whether to buy a spool of belden 8402's or 8451's and looking at the data sheet I have no idea what I'm looking at besides 20AWG and 22AWG

Put a current through it and see how much you can get before it loses voltage or melts.
Lower gauge wires are supposed to carry more current.

@white flame can't I just test my wires using a digital multimeter?
white flame
That'll only tell you if the wire is connected on both ends. Signal attenuation is more important for audio.

A wire could be connected perfectly fine, but if it loses integrity at 15 KHz or something it'll sound like trash

yall hear about the pulsar x2

ye
yeah im really thinking about buying it
but its looking like its going to cost over 100
was thinking about buying the xlite v2 but i have ftip
neon root
more than likely itll be around the $130~$150 range to compete against the viper v2 pro and logitech superlight
neon root
up to you if you want to see if the pulsar x2 is lighter than the 2 options and see what they improve on
glass bear
i dont care about the weight
as much as i care about the shape
ftip grip with that ergo shape is not the greatest thing
glass bear
i dont care about the weight
as much
neon root
why look at pulsar mice then
neon root
i mean, it being cheaper shouldnt determine whether its the right choice for you or not
could just go for something else then like gwolves, glorious or something else out there
cooler master even
asus has a lightweight mouse
glass bear
money is unfortunately limited for me
neon root
could also take a look at the pulsefire mouse. also a good mouse. wired version like $50 or so and can go down to like $30
they have a wireless version at around $80
white model tends to be out of stock though
glass bear
yeah i saw the pulsefire haste
neon root
fnatic bolt is around $70 or $80 as well
neon root
sensor really not much of a problem depending on the surface youre on and even depending on the surface youre on, really wont matter much
unless that particular sensor has problems that i dont know of
glass bear
it wouldnt be any sort of upgrade from my current m800db
and it does suffer tracking issues i think
might be poor tuning on my mouse
but stuff like diagonal movement especially sucks
high dpi variation too
neon root
i mean, could just get a pulsefire from amazon, test it to see if it does suffer from the same issues and if it does then you could return it
glass bear
true
neon root
doubt itd suffer from the same issues
glass bear
rtings also says somethng about click latency
i mean i doubt it would be worse than the m800 i have
glass bear
same as kalih 8.0?
glass bear
just as good yeah
neon root
kailh's are the ones that are good and youd want. the ttc golds are fine
theyre not bad but theyre not great either
glass bear
i see
the fnatic looks promising
apparently a similar shape to the viper too
idk why they had to make the scroll wheel so ugly though
however i think i would also like my new mouse to be an upgrade in terms of weight
if i already have the m800db the fnatic doesnt seem meaningfully better outside of bug fixes
neon root
up to you if you want to try and cut out weight. gets harder and harder to try and find a mouse that cuts down weight with a good build quality that isnt going to be priced fairly high
glass bear
true yeah
xlite seems to do it pretty well
im just waiting on that x2 and then ill probably make a decision
neon root
could also go for an asus mouse, lol
47g
wired though
dont know what switches they have in it
glass bear
is it paracorded?
neon root
says it is on their website
how good of a cable? not sure
for my wired mice, i use a bungee. not as freeing as a wireless mouse but depending on your movement zone, its close enough

id rather just use a wireless one that weighs a bit more
no space on my desk for a bungee either

I live in canada
neon root
check out keychron. dont know what their shipping rates are though for canada
but they have fairly good keyboards at a pretty good price and you can customize them later down the line as well if you want
if their prices are too high for canada or their shipping is too high, then id recommend a corsair keyboard with G keys on the side (only if you want basically a stream deck and its functionality built into a keyobard to use for like streaming or other stuff for productivity), razer is decent depending on which specific board, same with steelseries. def try and look for deals if possible. believe some steel series boards go on sale time to time
also if youre a student with access to a student email, believe razer has a 15% off discount for students across everything in their stores

what keyboard is better
out of the two apex pro, but if you're looking for something like that I'd rather pick up either Huntsman analog or Wooting 2 HE
assuming you're mostly looking for competitive(ish) stuff
because on pure build quality and typing there's better out there
glad yarrow
Keychron has some great stuff too
desert heath
yeah, though that's more general use oriented
but at that point I'd also point at Akko and Varmilo (EC)
snow briar
I’ll also suggest the apex pro, it’s a good keyboard for gaming and not actually that bad for typing.
desert heath
yeah, it's not too bad for it
just not oriented for it
and I'd consider both Huntsman and Wooting better as a HE board

wider and taller by a little but also the bezels are a bit thicker too so that youd have to take into consideration as well if youre using it to game

I don't mind thickness or anything just don't want to go to large because of space and not needing much more than 75% size.

if anything, the keychron q2 and k6 would be better imo

Neither, lots of variable matters
Tbh at those pricepoints, you'd better off considering the overall feel and quality than sound
Buy it if you're interested enough on its sound signature, and if it doesn't show much of a problem like tm680 and gk boards
Then make the sound good enough on your own
With your own opinion

So TL;DR - I need a Bluetooth card/adapter that is supported on Win11 or I can install the drivers from the MFR instead of using windows update.
I'm looking for the best recommendations for bluetooth for my PC.
I have a bad history with bluetooth not working on my computers (I got so sick of it never working properly that I built my most recent computer without bluetooth built-in).
So now I need bluetooth for a peripheral device and the USB adapter I have doesn't support Win11 and uses windows update to install drivers... and is discontinued... which is weird, because I've had a similar issue with drivers for older hardware types (serial adapters).
If this is the wrong channel, my apologies.

If yes tell me if this solution could work: connect the data-in power to the 4 pin of a fan, that way the fan will give back the signal and the data-in will be sent to both the fan and the led strip
(with "to the four pin of a fan" I mean something like making a 2fan with one header. I put the cable into the data-in pin of the fan connector)

Guys i really want to buy like some nice nice headphones for my PC
The one i have in mind is the Beyerdynamic Dt 1990
Is there any other suggestions?
queen sigil
what u consider nice might not match with other peoples opinions
how much money u lookin to spend
halcyon zealot
how much money u lookin to spend
well, max is 500 dollars, which is the same price as the DT 1990 pros, i have that headphone on my mind because people say its great and one of the best heaphone, and it has a great build quality as its fully metal, and they look really really nice and them being open back will be great so i wouldnt sweat alot and have it on for as long as i want, thing is Leyo, i am not like a headphone reviewer or whatever, so if i get those headphones, i will love them and get used to it easily
currently i have like an old razer headphone and i love it, but the reason i want the DT 1990 Pro's or something like it is because i miss the feeling of having studio headphones that i want to connect to my audio interface
and they sounded so nice and dynamic
and yeah thats about it really

i did hear about other heaphones like the Sennheiser's and Audio Technica, but idk i feel more convinced on the DT 1990's pro more than them, but im willing to hear your suggestions

someone's question if anyone can give input 🙏 :
I have a surface pro 3 but my type pad is spoilt. Smh. And the mouse pad. But the keyboard keys are fine. Should I get it replaced by spending 150+ or suck it up and use the touch screen. Lol. Or just save up and get a new pc
neon root
the keyboard is detachable no? how much is the keyboard assuming youre able to just buy a new one meant for the tablet. for just normal use the touchpad is fine but if the tablet is used quite a bit where the keyboard would be a better option, getting a new keyboard would be a better option
like in a lecture, id rather not try and type out everything on the touchscreen keyboard and would prefer an actual keyboard

For lifespan reasons

Depends on how you define big but the model o is more low profile compared to something like the Logitech g502 which is bigger but length wise I think they’re roughly the same
Mice with holes are fine when it comes to lifespan
Unless you’re sweating so much it’s like a waterfall

if anyone knows something about lighting node core from corsair: do you know how the data input and data output connector work? (they're for sequential rgb effects) but i just wanted to know how these pins are connected on the controller. Data + (input) sends the signal to the rgb fan, the fan "outputs" this signal when the rgb effect is "completed" and here comes the real question: is the data - (output) directly connected to the next data + (input)?
like normal LEDs when you connect them in series: the negative of the FIRST LED becomes the positive for the SECOND LED
am i right?

Is gaming still easy enough on 65+ springs? I’d imagine it wouldn’t be bad but no idea
queen sigil
spring weight is all preference
timber ridge
it feels natural to me but thats because thats all i use
but when i first stopped using mx reds, the first thing i noticed was i didnt get as many typos/accidental actuations with heavier switches
may not apply to you but something to point out
queen sigil
as long as its not super heavy or light (to you)
and ur used to whatever it is
u just dont want it to be so light that u might misinput or too heavy that u might be slower
tbh there needs to be switch spring tester packs
just like 5 of each spring from like 45->80 or something

if you have the budget, id skip tx and get sprit springs
imo they feel much nicer but tx is still good
