[silver sparrow]

i drive a 2023 niro, and thankfully i havent been burned yet

[last mango]

Oh I totally forgot about Jawa

[elfin mural]

ebay but gamer focused

so you actually focus on pc parts

[last mango]

I wonder if I should try selling my d41 there

[sinful blade]

I think there’s a trade in thing

[last mango]

It's been like 3 weeks since I made selling post for it

Nobody wants it

[nocturne flicker]

Hardware swap but with a marketplace ui

[elfin mural]

ye

[last mango]

Ha I'm in HWS

[sinful blade]

Oh no
Only gpu

[last mango]

Just like Newegg

I guess.

[sinful blade]

https://www.jawa.gg/sell-gpu

[last mango]

So only full builds eh on Jawa?

[sinful blade]

Been seeing much more discourse about it online since the last time I mentioned

[sinful blade]

No

[last mango]

Gotcha

[elfin mural]

fn mobile has terrible ui idk why

at least when i last tested it

[last mango]

$441 for 7900xt?

I'm good.

[elfin mural]

that's

bad

looks like a scam lmaooo

[sinful blade]

I think their gpu thing is a last ditch effort kinda thing

[last mango]

Rather scam an clueless person on fbm. Jk

[lone mango]

Not jk. Very real

[last mango]

Oh yeah. I put up my 4070ti for sale on fbm.

I got a interesting offer

Sadly it didn't go Through

It was an trade to a Power color 7900xtx

Speaking of blazes

I remember reading a article where a metro bus sparked and made a huge fire

Hydrogen I think

No wait that's Propane

[mortal grail]

I give up

Can't find that original article

Can find like a thousand incidents that demonstrate the reasoning which is really simple

In that the fires can continually reignite, and the car can become electrified, so it takes a technician who knows how to disable the batteries to do so

[iron lynx]

Have u seen the Chinese byd in Australia?

[mortal grail]

Ye

[last mango]

So say tech arrive on time

What's the first thing they do?

Wait it out until fire dies and then inspect it to make sure it's safe to clean up?

[mortal grail]

Fire out

Carefully check for electrification

Try to access a cut point or batteries directly if chemically safe (fumes)

[iron lynx]

I mean I think in America most firehouse has stuff to put of chemical fires

[mortal grail]

Then they can disable

[iron lynx]

Like some foams idk

[mortal grail]

But the additional problem is they're extremely prone to reigniting

[last mango]

Dang. That does sound difficult

[mortal grail]

You have these packs heating well over 2000C, and sometimes firefighters have to camp these cars for literal hours

Sometimes a whole day

As they keep reigniting

[last mango]

At the point cake the battery with sand or something else.

[mortal grail]

If they could access it sure

It takes a LOT of effort to put one out

As little as 3 times the water in a lot of cases

Compared to a normal car fire

Going back to my original point, ongoing vosts of these cars is what turns me off. The lithium cell and lithium design is my biggest complaint

[silver sparrow]

"sorry uh... just burn i guess"

[mortal grail]

It's expensive rate earth, and while efficient, is prone to these nasty occurrences

With a mass release of toxic fumes

[silver sparrow]

i mean its Australia right?

[mortal grail]

Aussie firefighters are better trained than most with the amount of bushfires we get

Practically it's own season lol

[silver sparrow]

kinda surprising, considering you burn and catch on fire more than like anywhere else, and you dont have people trained for a ev fire

[mortal grail]

It's not just us

I found dozens of american and british articles too

[silver sparrow]

you only need.... 36,000 gallons to put out a tesla.... super simple....

[mortal grail]

Compared to 6000 on a normal car

Funny that huh

Lol

[velvet summit]

SSBs will solve everything ongongfrfr

Just not your wallets

[mortal grail]

Almost like they're putting out multiple fires or something

[mortal grail]

They actually will fix this

[storm narwhal]

And once it's on fire

[mortal grail]

Not completely

[storm narwhal]

You can't stop it

[mortal grail]

But significantly

[silver sparrow]

bro just take a concrete truck and pour concrete over it, simple

fire gone

[mortal grail]

Ssb's have their own extreme issue

[storm narwhal]

Not unless you use a new formulation for batteries

[silver sparrow]

such as???

[mortal grail]

Driver: HUAAAAAFFFGGGHHHGGGHH burble burble

[storm narwhal]

Which I saw a demo of where they literally put out a sparking battery with water

[mortal grail]

Puncturing and radiation release

[silver sparrow]

radiation???

[storm narwhal]

Hulk moment

[mortal grail]

Sorry am I thinking of the same batteries?

What's the one that uses half life

[last mango]

Muh small carbon footprint print

[velvet summit]

I don't think SSBs have radioactive elements?

[last mango]

Broooo it takes so many coals to extract a battery elements

[silver sparrow]

you are thinking of nuclear battery tech

[velvet summit]

It uses osmium though which is quite expensive

[mortal grail]

Am I? My bad

[last mango]

Correct me if I'm mistaken

[mortal grail]

Well I'm not aware of any immediate issues with ssb's then

That would definitely make me feel better if an EV had one

[velvet summit]

It's mainly just cost currently afaik

[mortal grail]

Every way benefit

[last mango]

Tfw a guy homemade a working nuclear fusion plant and was able to live off that energy powering the home

Government raided his ass.

[storm narwhal]

War

[silver sparrow]

also, lead lined batterys would just sorta deal with that

[mortal grail]

I still don't like that it takes lithium still

[storm narwhal]

War never changes

[silver sparrow]

well thats one version

there are many that dont use lithium

[mortal grail]

Puncturing implying it breaches the lining

[storm narwhal]

We gotta move to something that doesn't use rare earth elements

[velvet summit]

Solid state batteries are more of a classification of battery; mainly that it doesn't use a gel or liquid electrolyte

[mortal grail]

Ah yeah it was nuclear batteries mb
https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/nuclear-battery-betavolt-atomic-china-b2476979.html

[velvet summit]

Betavolt as opposed to alphavolt

[mortal grail]

Much harder to cause a fire with something solid state

[mortal grail]

Sigmavolt my man

[velvet summit]

Yogurtvolt

[last mango]

fun fact

Your phone emits radiation

But at very tiny levels

[mortal grail]

So does my wifi

Lets cover it with an anti radiation cage

[velvet summit]

[last mango]

Faraday Cage

[mortal grail]

And buy some radiation crystals

[last mango]

Yes

[mortal grail]

This guy told me it works

Trust

[last mango]

And some RadXout

[storm narwhal]

There's literally places where they put you in a cave and intentionally expose you to low energy ionizing radiation

The claim is that small amounts of irridiation will benefit your body and boost your immune system?

It sounds just believable enough but literally there's no evidence

[elfin mural]

it's probably

a placebo effect

[storm narwhal]

Its also pretty inhumane to actually do a control group, a low and high energy group to do an actual study

[elfin mural]

yeah

[storm narwhal]

So yeah, it's probably placebo

Technically if your exposure doesn't go above the annual background radiation dose it's fine

[elfin mural]

and has no benefit

[storm narwhal]

0.1-0.5 mSv as a general range iirc

[elfin mural]

if anything extra exposure puts you at higher risk of cancer

[storm narwhal]

Yeah it pretty much hasn't seen any scientific evidence it's beneficial

If it's not above annual background dose it's fine

Doesn't do anything

I'd rather not though fr

[elfin mural]

real

but if i get paid a million for it then maybe

i'll take the low exposure side tho lol

for obvious reasons

[north crescent]

That stuff is more for low power sensors or smth

[mental yoke]

Anyone have knowledge of cyber crime here?

Actually i need help

[rapid fulcrum]

is buying used pcs bad

?

theres one on newegg

[mortal grail]

Maybe that one. As with a lot of things, working in principle first before widespread adoption

[rapid fulcrum]

me kinda

[mental yoke]

Can we we talk in DM?

[rapid fulcrum]

okay

[mortal grail]

There's always a risk but you can be diligent and offset enough of the risk to make it relatively safe

e.g middleman service, check other reviews and purchases for history, check the images are real and not yoinked/doctored

Take a friend to a pickup point (if required)

Avoid the dodgy stuff like cash only or not reading an entire article only to find the product is just the box it came in instead

Newegg you can cross a lot of these things out however

[mental yoke]

Check my DM

[mortal grail]

These are more just, 2nd hand in general

[rapid fulcrum]

its from newegg

but idk if its gonna be bad

[proud jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/bocchi-hitori-goto-depressed-bocchi-the-rock-gif-27672004

[mortal grail]

As I said, use a middleman, check the article is genuine and buyer reviews from the seller are genuine

Make sure nothing is doctored or misleading

Newegg, at least from what we hear here, is usually pretty good

[proud jackal]

trust newegg like you trust the leading cpu of gaming, intel

[mortal grail]

Theo when intel takeover

[Felix joins the chat to mention Jonsbo]

^^ lore-accurate Newegg server

[mortal grail]

Jonsbo is the best brand

Jonsbo pls sponsor me

[granite estuary]

I want to downgrade my pc

Not in terms of specs

But smaller

[craggy shoal]

So downsizing

[mortal grail]

It's small

[granite estuary]

I have a micro atx

[granite estuary]

Yeah that’s what I mean

[mortal grail]

Then even better

Z20 is 21L

It's small

[granite estuary]

Il currently using the Asus prime 200 or something

Forget the exact name

[mortal grail]

Ap201 is a lot bigger than z20

[craggy shoal]

You won't fit an mATX motherboard in an mITX case. But yeah I agree with Felix. The Z20 is a good case (comes with a handle iirc)

[granite estuary]

Yeah it’s pretty big

[sinful blade]

Anyways
The jonsbo d41 exists

[mortal grail]

Z20 is an easy downsize

[granite estuary]

Does it fit a triple fan GPU?

[mortal grail]

Try it

Yes

It fits 4 slot

[sinful blade]

Hot

[granite estuary]

Cool

Because I have this gpu

[mortal grail]

It's like AP201 but shorter and better size usage

[craggy shoal]

I want one

[sinful blade]

Everybody does

It’s just great

[mortal grail]

Easily fits that

[sinful blade]

Gib it

[granite estuary]

How difficult is it to build in?

[sinful blade]

[mortal grail]

Harder than a basic atx, easier than the standard itx

[craggy shoal]

Or that Lian Li/DAN collaboration case (the A3-mATX), basically a smaller and more niche AP201 (I love my AP201 though)

[mortal grail]

A3 matx is gud

Tho it's not a lot smaller than ap201

[granite estuary]

I like my AP201 I just have limited space and prefer ITX cases ngl

[mortal grail]

Big chunk bigger than z20

[sinful blade]

I’ve been looking at segptep cases

[craggy shoal]

I wish I had waited for that to release before getting my AP201. I have no reason to own this case now lmaoo

[granite estuary]

So id jusr need to get a new motherboard

My 240mm aio should fit

[craggy shoal]

That looks good but what is that price 😭

[fervent stump]

Is this 1080p?

[granite estuary]

Or will I need to go air cooled

[sinful blade]

The segotep gremlin looks nice

[mortal grail]

Matx

[fervent stump]

I have one of these already that’s why I was wondering

[mortal grail]

240 aio support

[granite estuary]

Mini itx?

[mortal grail]

Atx psu support/itx

No you don't need itx

[granite estuary]

For the Z case

[mortal grail]

If you have matx rn, it'll fit

Yes

Z20

Fits matx

[granite estuary]

I already have a micro atx mobo

So that’s cool

[mortal grail]

Yes

Good

[craggy shoal]

It says it's 1080p in the description 💀

[fervent stump]

Sorry

[granite estuary]

Oh man

This case looks really good

[craggy shoal]

@sinful blade ur mother (respectfully)

[sinful blade]

Gank 360 RGB

best case

[mortal grail]

Aha, new discord glitch

My reacts are broken

[granite estuary]

He’ll yeah

New case

And I don’t even need to change any components

[mortal grail]

Ya

[sinful blade]

https://nextgenoem.com/products/segotep-gank360-rgb-white

Best case

[mortal grail]

And it has a handle

[granite estuary]

Very cool

I like it

Appreciate the help

[fervent stump]

Nope

[mortal grail]

Z20 will get a mesh version at some point

If you are willing to wait for that

[granite estuary]

Mesh?

Oh instead of tempered glass

[mortal grail]

Ya, no glass, mesh instead

Ya

[craggy shoal]

Bruh Segotep's web servers are probably ran by hampsters. slow asf 💀

[granite estuary]

People like mesh instead of tempered glass

[mortal grail]

Ya

[granite estuary]

Why

[craggy shoal]

Airflow

[mortal grail]

Performance

[craggy shoal]

lmao

[granite estuary]

Ah

Makes sense

[mortal grail]

Some like the look too

I like an all mesh box honestly

[sinful blade]

Yes
It’s so bright

[granite estuary]

I’ve never had one so can’t really have an opinion

I don’t mind the look

My last case was the lian li dynamic mini I think

[craggy shoal]

Airflow is the reason why I'm thinking of swapping my Bazzite OS build from my Thermaltake Level 20 VT to my Asus AP201 (my AP201 has a mesh side panel lol)

[granite estuary]

My thermals are good although I’m not entirely sure how

[craggy shoal]

my AP201 also houses one of my servers, so my server would then be for show if I swapped it into my Level 20 VT 💀

[granite estuary]

Half my fans are set the wrong way

So it’s pulling air in

Nothing is really pushing air out

😂

[lusty shadow]

Anyone here that wayy better with windows willing to help a fellow helldiver with a tech issue? Old headset and even with a brand new headset, can't get my mic working.

[sinful blade]

Switch it to a segotep gank 360 RGB

Best choice

[granite estuary]

Is this case smaller or bigger than the ap201

[craggy shoal]

Drivers. Just drivers. Install your drivers. And in case you haven't heard this before, drivers. After that, restart the computer for good measures

[mortal grail]

Have you tried setting your default microphone in the sound section of control panel

When you have multiple mic drivers, windows will sometimes not switch to your default one

Not unless you do it manually

[lusty shadow]

I have un-installed and reinstalled drivers, I have manually selected this headset to be the mic I want to use, I have changed the settings in the game even to try that.

[wind quail]

There's also 2 defaults per say which is really annoying

[craggy shoal]

Also try this:
Win+R > type mmsys.cpl and press enter > Go to the "recording tab" > blow into your mic you're wanting to use so you can tell which device it is in Windows (it should basically peak the mic) > Select that one and click Set Default

Or hopefully the mic is even working

[lusty shadow]

So it's definitely peaking, and I can hear the return of the audio back into the headset, and it's the first option on the list, but Set default us grayed out, not selectable. When I click on another device such as the AMD microphone array, Set Default continues to be non-selectable.

It only give me the option to configure.

[craggy shoal]

Is there a green checkmark on the device?

[lusty shadow]

Yes there is.

[craggy shoal]

Since you're on Discord, go to your Voice & Video settings and set the input to Default and see if there's any sound coming from the device

If that doesn't work, select the mic itself in the Input section and test it there

[last mango]

you good? @mental yoke

[lusty shadow]

But if I select another device such as the built in mic(using a G15 Ryzen 7 series with rtx card) it still won't give the option to set that as default.

[craggy shoal]

Oh is this a laptop?

[lusty shadow]

Yep

[craggy shoal]

ahhhh there's the issue

the crappy audio software that laptops ship with

[rancid juniper]

https://youtu.be/kw_6zJbwhJc?si=Z-SarZX0jAlSyd8y

[craggy shoal]

Oh it's a Dell

it's probably that Waves Maxxaudio crap

Forgot how I uninstalled mine lol

[lusty shadow]

works fine in discord, showed up on the graph, went only a bit over halway with output maxed

[craggy shoal]

Yeah now apply that to whatever else you're using the mic for

[sinful blade]

Sounds like the issues my krakens have

[craggy shoal]

Maxxaudio might let you change some bits of the device too (like volume/gain and whatever else)

I hate Maxxaudio but I think Dell forces you to use it

[lusty shadow]

but in games, such as helldivers 2, with windows mic settings turned all the way up, i get like 3% output.

on the windows sound test with output maxed i only get like 3%

[fervent stump]

Are 32” 1440p good?

For second monitor

[sinful blade]

Depends on the model

[craggy shoal]

That would be my main monitor 💀

[fervent stump]

I’m getting a 32” 4k as my main

[fervent stump]

I’m not sure I want a borderless monitor

[craggy shoal]

Then yeah it would be a good secondary monitor

[fervent stump]

That monitor will be sooo big I currently have a 24” and I think it’s big already

[craggy shoal]

But if you're going with two different resolutions, get this program called LittleBigMouse. It'll help with that PPI mismatch that Windows still doesn't recognize

Get a 27"

[fervent stump]

Wdym I’m not fully sure what that means

[paper verge]

guys which one do i get

Corsair SCIMITAR RGB ELITE - Razer Basilisk V3 X HyperSpeed - Razer DeathAdder V3 Wired Gaming Mouse

[fervent stump]

I have this mouse

[craggy shoal]

LittleBigMouse just fixed this

[paper verge]

i have a glorious aswell so i'd prefer this mouse to be pretty ergo aswell

so ig then the deathadder aint it?

not sure though, dont know much about mice

[fervent stump]

Oh ok I’ll try it out and see what happens

[craggy shoal]

The Basilisk V3. Probably my favorite mouse

Don't get a Corsair

[paper verge]

honestly i love the buttons on the side though

makes dcs a whole lot easier

but why do you say that anyways?

[craggy shoal]

Depending on the model, you'll either have random double-clicking issues or clicks not responding (either way, the switches get damaged. Corsair doesn't use good switches like Razer does)

Razer uses optical switches while I think Corsair still uses mechanical (opticals will last a lot longer. Plus you won't be forced to use iCUE)

[paper verge]

dude it says it has 9 programmable buttons

i think they consider the buttons on the bottom programmable bruh

i aint seeing 9 buttons

[craggy shoal]

Which mouse?

[paper verge]

Razer Basilisk V3 X

[fervent stump]

So messy

[last mango]

Why 4K monitor? Curious

[craggy shoal]

The Scroll wheel has like five different actuations (including scroll up/down)

[paper verge]

how tf is a logitech mouse $250

[fervent stump]

Took me like 30 seconds to do this

[craggy shoal]

Because it's Logitech 💀

[last mango]

Muh Brand

i've got Roccat Kone Xp Air myself

[fervent stump]

I’m used to playing games on my tv at 4k and stuff and just want a similar experience on my computer

[last mango]

ah

[last mango]

$140 for the docking set

[craggy shoal]

Razer: our Basilisk has nine programming buttons (actually comes with 12 lol)

[fervent stump]

I don’t have Fortnite on my Xbox :c

I haven’t played that game in 3 years

[paper verge]

so motor, the basilik is $40 off and the corsair is like $65 off (talking cad)

you think i should get the basilik

or wait?

theres one left in stock btw

[craggy shoal]

Basilisk. Way worth it. Will last forever compared to the Corsair

Corsair is a "buy me I'm pretty" brand while Razer is the same but actually functional and reliable brand (at least in mice)

[last mango]

Logitech g502 Hero?

I forgot that thing is heavy...

[paper verge]

both of these are cheaper than that

[craggy shoal]

G502 X is wayyy better. Does the same stuff but optical switches

[last mango]

True

but $$$$

💀

[paper verge]

the x is 75 bucks (basilik is like 50)

[craggy shoal]

Get the wired version. but no RGB :(

[last mango]

i thought the Super light was like $200 bucks

[fervent stump]

You like rgb too?

[craggy shoal]

Yeah but when done right

[paper verge]

motor

[craggy shoal]

motor

[fervent stump]

Oh yes

[paper verge]

for 4 bucks more i can get the g502 x over the basilik

which one?

[last mango]

Oh

[craggy shoal]

I got a G502 X to replace my Basilisk. I've recently gone back to the Basilisk because I couldn't stand the Logitech software

[last mango]

Now i remember what g502x looks like

I actually wanted it

then my friend suggested me Kone Xp air

[paper verge]

thats inspiring

[last mango]

I want to buy Basilik for my wife

V2 or v3 whatever

as long it got docking station

[craggy shoal]

Some people say G-Hub works fine for them but it always acted weird with me. Sometimes the DPI shifting didn't work or would get stuck on the lowest DPI when I'd randomly click the DPI shift button

[paper verge]

bro why tf is that other naga one soo expensive

the 12 buttons though....

[craggy shoal]

The Basilisk also feels like (idk the weight of either, but I've gone back to this mouse and it feels lighter than my G502 X)

The G502 X would've been my favorite mouse if it just worked right with me. But it's otherwise a good mouse if you can get it work

[paper verge]

the basilik is wireless but the 502x aint

hmmm

[craggy shoal]

I'd nutshell it like this:
Basilisk: Good reliable option with decent software
G502 X: Also a good reliable software, not as decent software (at least in my experience)

Oh get the wireless Basilisk if the price isn't too crazy

I'd say it's worth it

[paper verge]

60cad

[mental yoke]

I’m not but appreciate you asking. 🤝

[paper verge]

the joystick is like 500 bucks depending on the aircraft

its crazy

[fervent stump]

But like

How much does it cost for them to make it

[paper verge]

theres no way its more than 100 bucks

[gleaming rivet]

Nowhere near that much, but it doesn't matter since people will buy them anyways.

Same with every other component in a PC.

[fervent stump]

Rather stick with sim racing

[fervent stump]

How much is that?

[last mango]

LOL

500 for wheel base

200 for steering wheel or something

it adds up real quiiock

[fervent stump]

I don’t need the racing chair and stuff

[craggy shoal]

It sounds expensive but that’s for a direct drive. So like $700 total for DD. Not bad lol

[fervent stump]

I just want the wheel and shifter

[craggy shoal]

I just wish there was native support for PlayStation

[paper verge]

thats good bro

you gotta consider flight sims have way more buttons and screens

[last mango]

logitech

g920 or 923

they're gear driven

and then thrustermaster

[fervent stump]

I was told to get moza

Ohhh

[velvet summit]

[last mango]

i dont know

[craggy shoal]

yes

[last mango]

maybe after they release it

[velvet summit]

i know that logitech sells the farm panel by itself

[fervent stump]

:D my friends picked that Jersy and those are the gloves I own

[velvet summit]

their included wheel is dogwater though

[last mango]

Logitech g920 then

[fervent stump]

We want to start a league in our city for a sport

[fervent stump]

I’ll look at it

[craggy shoal]

Don't all wheels have paddle shifters?

[velvet summit]

for the price, unless you buy used, it's better to just buy a moza r3 bundle

[fervent stump]

No

[last mango]

oh

[velvet summit]

[last mango]

yeah go for moza defo

[fervent stump]

Durable Membrane Switches

[last mango]

WHAT

[velvet summit]

tbf, there are durable membrane switches
but it's not the bubble type

the ibm model m has durable membrane switches

topre switches are also more durable than the conventional membrane switches

[fervent stump]

We didn’t buy it at apple so so ig something

We got it at t mobile

[last mango]

no it was an reply to 343

[velvet summit]

WHAT

[fervent stump]

O

[fervent stump]

Huh?

[last mango]

i chuckled

[velvet summit]

mechanical feeling egronomic design

[last mango]

ergonomic

[craggy shoal]

Worse than regular membranes tbh

[velvet summit]

i bet they're just referring to the keycap shape

[fervent stump]

What’s a membrane

[velvet summit]

material used for the keyboard

[fervent stump]

O

[craggy shoal]

Like a normal keyboard. Basically any school keyboard is membrane

[craggy shoal]

Disgusting squishy feel when the key bottoms out

[fervent stump]

So a bad keyboard?

[craggy shoal]

yeah basically

[fervent stump]

No

Me no like

[last mango]

i had a Chromata membrame keyboard

[velvet summit]

nowadays mostly refers to the type of keebs that both have the actuation and keyswitch triggering from the membrane, as opposed to capacitive or electrical contact

[last mango]

it wasnt bad but the switches was "squishy"

[craggy shoal]

It's funny because mechanicals came first and then some idiot said "let's make keyboards feel cheap :D"

[velvet summit]

yeah that's the main problem with membrane keyboards

[velvet summit]

they just are squishy because they're like made of silicone or smth

[last mango]

after experiencing the feel on 915 tkl and then later a keychron

[paper verge]

this should be straight up illegal

[fervent stump]

Why does it matter if you get a cheap keyboard it’s not like your beating it

[fervent stump]

Yea

[velvet summit]

typing feel

[mental yoke]

https://tenor.com/view/stanley-the-office-annoyed-gif-24627929

[fervent stump]

I’m chewing on my seat bet

[fervent stump]

Oh

[rancid juniper]

WILL IT DEGRADE!?!?!?!?

[velvet summit]

a quirk of membrane switches is that you have to bottom out the keys in order to trigger the keys as well

[fervent stump]

That’s why I don’t want a new keyboard I love mine

I like how it sounds and feels

[velvet summit]

while most mechanical switches trigger around the halfway mark, more or less depending on the switch type

[fervent stump]

But I HATE 60%

[craggy shoal]

TKL (80%) is your answer

[rancid juniper]

honestly i don't care much about typing feel (low standards because i dell keeb) but as long as all keys are fully functional its more than enough

[last mango]

Feast yo eyes on this mismatched keycaps

[rancid juniper]

🗿

[astral sand]

I burnt my Cable what should I do.

[velvet summit]

i pretty much exclusively only use keyboard for the entire time i'm interfacing with my pc, so keebs and display are the most important for a pc interface for me
