Price is solid

proud jackal
#

where is b770 tho

rancid juniper
#

Legit don't know

#

They probably preparing it later next year

#

Ngl, it would be better if the b570 was priced at $200

#

$220 is too close to b580's 250

upper hawk
#

b570 most likely will see quick price drops like the $900 7900xt

sweet phoenix
#

Now that I think abt it

#

They needed something with the 13th/14th gen issues and then the disappointment of arrow lake

#

They probably priced it so competitively so they have something to brag about atm

Now personally I have a Razer keyboard

And I’d say don’t get them

Mechanical Keyboards

Based in Taiwan, Ducky founded its own brand in 2008 and became a manufacturing company that has strived to provide users with mechanical keyboards of the highest standard since day one. Having already established business partnerships in over 30 countries, Ducky has made a name for themselves globally. They continue to expand, giving consumers ...

#

These are good.

misty sparrow
#

Overpriced, you can build something yourself that’s better for cheaper, don’t like their software

fresh nova
#

Mass produced, cheap quality, limited support.

#

Buy Ducky instead

velvet summit
#

Razer's switches aren't really the best switches
Their current gen Razer green switches are better than Cherry MX blues but Cherry MX blues are nowhere near high quality

misty sparrow
#

Are they on the budget/low end or?

#

The switches

velvet summit
#

That's not the issue

fresh nova
#

You've asked our opinions, we've answered.
It sounds like you already had your mind made up with the Razor before you asked.

misty sparrow
#

You can build yourself a better keyboard with everything you want for cheaper

#

And you can swap everything out if you wanna change the look later

#

instead of buying a new keyboard outright for the looks

fresh nova
#

I'm just a Ducky fan. imo

velvet summit
#

Ignoring price and whatever, in the sphere of mechanical keyboards and ignoring membranes, Razer keyboards go on the "ok but not great" ranking

fresh nova
#

If you like the Razor get the Razor.

#

It's not gonna just up & break because it's a Razor we just all gave our opinion on Razor.

worthy meteor
#

build quality is bad, you don't get qmk/via, you don't get hotswap, you don't get any proper features

#

even ignoring price it's a bad option

velvet summit
#

Configuration software

#

Actually

misty sparrow
#

for this reason

velvet summit
#

Speaking of software, synapse sucks

worthy meteor
#

allows you to change binding in firmware instead of software only and allows you to use many layers

misty sparrow
#

I wish I can swap out the switches because they’re too loud, but if I wanted to do that I’d have to buy a new keyboard

young matrix
#

Razer boards will break within 2 years

#

Yunzii

velvet summit
#

Most keyboards have play pause buttons on a layer

worthy meteor
#

also allows you to do macros in hardware without software

young matrix
#

You sure as hell will after it gets old within 2 weeks

misty sparrow
young matrix
misty sparrow
#

It’s been four years

#

And it still functions flawlessly

#

Is it a software thing that they break or is it something on the hardware

worthy meteor
#

usually hardware

#

been told the software is less broken now

misty sparrow
#

I was wondering that because I don’t install their software

#

I just skip it

worthy meteor
#

the switches get stuck, the plastic part of the space bar stabs like to just break

velvet summit
#

No

young matrix
#

Only peripheral brand id say is worse than razer is glorious because their firmware updater bricks their stuff 👍👍👍👍

rancid juniper
#

Dell

velvet summit
#

But openrgb doesn't support adding macros and such

young matrix

So do i

velvet summit
#

Would only be RGB control

young matrix
#

Battery life lasts me 1 day

#

Thats why i got a new mouse

#

Incott g24

misty sparrow
#

I have taken the keys off my huntsman keyboard and actively cleaned them so maybe that’s why it didn’t break

velvet summit
#

You know what mouse never breaks

Those damn OEM mice somehow that manage to last over a decade with no issues

misty sparrow

Office mouse I have lying around is very old but didn’t break yet

Oh by the way infinity I bought a mouse

Almost all their stuff is good

misty sparrow
#

I bought it off Aliexpress derpyBlob

misty sparrow
#

First time I bought something from there

young matrix
#

AliExpress is great tho

misty sparrow
#

For some reason I always thought it was a bit fishy so I never used it

velvet summit
misty sparrow
#

Huh

#

Didn’t know that one

#

I don’t really use Amazon anyways, because of how they manage pricing

wary fjord
#

must be nice to have dx 12 ultimate 😦

velvet summit
#

I don't mean the shipped and sold by Amazon, I mean the 3rd party sellers that are selling stuff specifically

wary fjord
#

mine normal dx12

velvet summit
#

Amazon sold products usually are within the normal price range

rancid juniper
velvet summit
#

But things like electronics and such on Amazon? Huge markup compared to buying it on AliExpress/Alibaba/etc

misty sparrow
#

I was going to buy my mchose mouse directly from mchose website

#

But I didn’t want to pay for shipping

#

Aliexpress has free shipping so I took that option

wary fjord

it do be like that u forgot to spell some words

Why is it that one of my coworkers decides to show up on one of his off days

#

I could've been working at my job's dead location for most of the week but this guy decided he wanted to work with us and now I’m already annoyed that he basically put me at the active location for most of the week

#

I already don't like him and this mf is one of those guys who taps his fingers on the desk to make that tap sound, let alone a breathy whistle that doesn't make sound (literally just a habit) and this guy decides to come to work when I should be alone

The destiny 2 part you can do rn though, it’s not really that hard to get 150 fps kekw

rancid juniper

languid drum
#

So can order one before Christmas.

velvet summit
#

at least not in the sense that 4 gpus would give you 4x more framerate in gaming

#

it would give you 4x more power if you have a parallelized application like mining or 3d rendering programs that support multiple gpus or such

craggy shoal
#

I'd only say go with more than one card if you're doing AI work

languid drum
#

Ultra series 2 support upto 4 cards release Oct 24 2024 in Canada only newegg sell gpu

#

Good luck finding motherboards i know a few found some with bios updates release on Oct 24

craggy shoal
#

Yeah I mean we went away from having multi-GPU setups years ago anyways so I don't think it matters regardless

languid drum
#

I still use multi-gpu for all video edit system

velvet summit
#

i would use a single gpu for video editing, and a seperate system for rendering

#

afaik doing video editing cant really take advantage of multi gpu

#

but rendering can

#

though honestly

#

video editing is light enough to not really even need multi gpu lmao

#

even with a complex timeline

languid drum
#

Well yes but it work a lot better with testing for sure with 256 core and no limits on egpu cores but they told use for public they are limiting egpu cores even. So that started a small war.

#

Only 4 egpu or same as 4 gpu with 4 core on each card

#

But now some convert video to 4 formats and edit other video all on same machine.

#

Autocad and drafting software corel loves extra gpu also

#

Even 3d modeling software

#

It shocking how many want access and hate waiting for graphics heavy software to get job done.

Probably wrong

Cyberpunk is insanely hard to run at 200 fps

Unless you have 4090

viral heron

i have a 7900 xtx idk what that is in nvidia

might be a dumb question but hypothetically if i ran ddu every day and reinstalled drivers would that causes any damage to the pc

0 idea xD ive never change my setup since 2019

Is that psu?

velvet summit
velvet summit
#

you can add wifi 6e on a home router that only supports outputting wifi 5 or whatever support it has

#

with an AP that supports it

#

both the client station and AP needs to support 6ghz to connect to the 6ghz band

Mini fridges consume more power than fridges

"oh yeah just lemme uninstall my GPU drivers without knowing why I should" yeah maybe don't do that

viral heron

idk what else to do my fps been awful since i reinstalled this game

velvet summit
#

if using DDU once doesnt fix the problem then using ddu the next few times will not fix the problem because the problem isnt the drivers

#

💀

craggy shoal
#

So it's a game issue and not a drive issue

viral heron
#

could reinstalling a game mess something up with drivers

viral heron
craggy shoal

Have you ever thought that uninstalling a game to reinstall it would also reset the settings?

lone mango

Maybe install the older driver version if you are still having problems. I remember updating drivers and it had its own problems that the previous version did not have

usually radar detectors aren't illegal, radar jammers are

pseudo raven
#

yeah

#

even in california detectors arent

#

which is crazy

idle nexus
#

everything is illegal in the Democratic People's Republic of California except--nope not getting in trouble again--and shoplifting lol

rancid juniper
#

just came back and wtf am i looking at?

idle nexus
#

lol there were two ways I could've gotten myself in trouble in that last statement but I must behave

#

a mod must be a paragon of virtue

#

after all

idle nexus
pseudo raven
#

were going to say there

#

That bear is juicing

#

That ancestral all meat diet he’s talking abt is a lie

idle nexus
#

takes a lot of salmon to get that swole

idle nexus
#

gotta wonder tho, once a bear gets that swole, does it interfere with its ability to catch salmon?

#

what's sad tho is the bear is going to lose a significant amount of that muscle mass when it hibernates for the winter for sure

#

who is the PC mouse collector here again? @random osprey don't you have like more mouses than I have (mostly old ewaste) GPUs or something? lol

#

sorry for ping

random osprey
#

i have a few PepeRealizes

pseudo raven
#

a few

proud jackal
#

he has a problem

#

we just dont say it

pseudo raven
#

ngl theres like

#

3 on my desk rn

#

but

#

still not as bad as wolfgang

idle nexus
#

lol maybe you could help me if you have a minute

pseudo raven
#

😃

#

what happened

random osprey
#

only got 1 on my desk

idle nexus
#

I usually play single player type games but my son makes me play fortnite now

random osprey
#

9 in cases and a bucket with like 12 PepeRealizes

pseudo raven
#

a bucket

#

💀

idle nexus
#

that & the fact that after almost 4 years the left click on my MX Ergo trackball mouse is acting borked makes me think I need to get a good mouse

pseudo raven
#

trackball?

#

my

#

you dont play single player games with a trackball do you

idle nexus
#

rn I'm using a Thermaltake Argent M5 I got from Thermaltake Live raffle thing

#

which afik is pretty decent like it's 1000hz poll rate or something & DPI is eh at least decent I think

pseudo raven
#

that mouse is

#

not great

#

well actually spec wise

idle nexus
#

the price was lol

pseudo raven
#

its not terrible i guess

#

but yes

#

no price better than free

#

what an odd shape too lmao

#

its so skinny

idle nexus
#

I'd be fine with it but

#

well ya that might be why

#

anyway my wrist hurts using it sometimes

pseudo raven
#

well you gotta figure out

#

your grip first then

random osprey
#

time to send ggood my bucket of mice for him to try out PepeRealizes

pseudo raven
#

send me it

#

i will send you

#

one galaxy bud

idle nexus
#

which say what you want about trackball mouses (I read that the plural form of the mouse you use with a PC is "mouses" but correct me if I'm wrong lol), it's nice not to move your wrist at all

pseudo raven
#

yeah depends on how you hold your mouse too

idle nexus
#

tbh I know it's kinda posture related too cuz your arm is supposed to be straight

pseudo raven
#

the way i hold my mouse, my arm moves around a lot more and my wrist just does a little bit of moving

idle nexus
#

ig I could raise my chair a bit

pseudo raven
#

and my wrist floats

idle nexus
#

I pretty much don't use my arm ngl

pseudo raven
#

yeah you should try doing that

idle nexus
#

probably from my trackball days lol

pseudo raven
#

lower your dpi

#

and then see if you can use your arm more

#

other then that

#

if you figure out what grip youre best with from here theres a couple decent options at every price range

#

actually over like $50

idle nexus
#

eh I think I'm "carpal stabilized claw" but only cuz this mouse is so short I can't really rest the center of my hand on it

pseudo raven
#

theres pretty insane diminishing returns right now

#

oh you could get a

#

scryox v8 i think

idle nexus
#

I wanted MX Master 3S or 2S for like 10 seconds cuz it was basically the MX Ergo but not a trackball but the polling rate & weight are apparently just terrible for gaming

#

my son uses a logitech 302 or something not fancy but good enough for a 7-year-old lol

#

but that mouse is kinda meh for me too

pseudo raven
#

ngl im not very good at

#

claw mice

random osprey
#

could do razer deathadder v3 wired if you want something ergo and cheap. $44 rn on the zon PepeRealizes

idle nexus
#

Logitech 602 is supposedly decent & rather large

#

I think I saw deathadder was another recommendation for larger hands too

pseudo raven
#

oh yeah hand size matters too

#

although for claw grip not so much

idle nexus
#

I went back to using my crappy wrist-supporting amazon mouse pad & that's somewhat mitigated the hand fatigue but it's definitely still present

pseudo raven
#

yeah you gotta stop straining your wrist so much

#

get big mousepad

#

lower dpi

#

and then use your arm

random osprey
#

dont be like me though and have low dpi and low sens and smack your keyboard every other swing

pseudo raven
#

ok yes

#

dont do that

#

xd

idle nexus
pseudo raven
#

well yeah from that

#

trackball mouse it seems youd be

#

inclined towards palm

#

dav3 is good then

#

theres also like

idle nexus
#

based on Thermaltake's kinda janky software, I'm using 4900DPI presently

pseudo raven
#

knockoffs of that shape for around $50 on aliexpress

#

if youd like to go wireless

#

razers wireless dav3 is like $150

#

actually theres another one but it isnt worth buying

idle nexus
#

but I dunno how to actually know because I set the mouse movement speeds in-game before I installed this

sinful blade
pseudo raven
#

4900 dpi is high on its own yeah but

idle nexus
#

plus windows lets you set mouse movement speed

pseudo raven
#

it depends on your sens too

#

and that too

#

although i think fortnite doesnt care about windows mouse speed?

#

idk

pseudo raven
idle nexus
#

ig I'm at like 50% on windows & I dunno if that's default or not

pseudo raven
#

turn off

random osprey
#

wait, forgor its a thing. its $134 on amazon right now but theres a razer deathadder v3 pro fortnite edition PepeRealizes

pseudo raven
#

enhance precision

idle nexus
#

I could check S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 (I hate typing that)

opaque sedge
pseudo raven
#

and also find the mouse controls in

opaque sedge
pseudo raven
#

control panel

dusk knot
#

Ghhhhhhmmm

pseudo raven
#

default is like

#

6/11?

#

or something

idle nexus
#

but usually when I play a game, I blast mouse speed to make up for trackball lol

pseudo raven
#

wait

#

so you do play with a trackball

#

good lord

idle nexus
#

pointer precision is now off lol

dusk knot
idle nexus
#

lol ya I'm serious

pseudo raven
#

💀

#

man thats funny

opaque sedge
pseudo raven
#

i guess for single player its alright

dusk knot
opaque sedge
idle nexus
#

I've played RE2, 3, 5, 7, 8, Fallout4, FNAF Security breach, Starfield, BlackOps6, everything since I first built a computer in like 2020 with a trackball

pseudo raven
#

black ops 6???

proud jackal
#

i dont feel well

pseudo raven
#

ahahah

#

aiming a gun

#

with a trackball

opaque sedge
pseudo raven
#

sounds so insane

idle nexus
#

I was playing S.T. . . R. 2 with a trackball

#

Fallout 4 & Starfield are basically 80% aiming a gun lol

pseudo raven
#

didnt know about starfield but wow

idle nexus
#

I was so used to it lol

pseudo raven
opaque sedge
#

@proud jackal well well well

pseudo raven
#

i have this mouse

#

its not bad for $50

#

i think i got it for around $30 on aliexpress a while back

#

based on your trackball mouse you might like it

#

comes with a dock too

idle nexus
#

ah nice that "high hump" would probably help

pseudo raven
#

yeah

#

and its a lot lighter

#

whichll mean less strain too

sinful blade
#

Trackballs aren’t the worst

pseudo raven
#

its fine for the price but if you like the shape and want to spend more

sinful blade
#

I used one for years

mortal grail
pseudo raven
#

the $150 dav3 pro is probably the best you can do

idle nexus
#

don't get me wrong, I'm not delusional that I need some $300 magnesium Razer mouse (is it magnesium? I dunno this dude I know has one) so I can become Fortnite champion & make horrible music or anything

sinful blade
opaque sedge
pseudo raven
#

make horrible music

#

hah

idle nexus
#

some NickE guy I dunno. Kids are strange these days

idle nexus

my son took my phone & was playing some awful song by some clown called KSI & I'm like stop it

yes that clown

proud jackal

its going to be on my desk

they will see it

idle nexus

ehh

say you won it in a giveaway I dunno lol

pseudo raven
#

lmfao

random osprey
pseudo raven
#

yeah like this will definitely

random osprey
#

oop monitor, not tv

pseudo raven
#

it was only 800 for black friday too

#

might have to do the won a giveaway strat

#

ive used that before actually

#

lol

idle nexus
pseudo raven
#

ngl thats actually kinda funny

#

just buy a samsung the frame

#

and say you bought a painting

idle nexus
#

lol ez

pseudo raven
#

they make the cable very easy to hide too i think

#

theres like a separate box for everything

idle nexus
#

just fish it thru the wall

pseudo raven
#

yes

idle nexus
#

it's pretty easy unless it's an exterior wall lol

#

interior walls are mostly empty space tbh

pseudo raven
#

yeah

#

my house is pretty much just cardboard

#

one time my dad rode a skateboard inside

#

slipped off

#

and theres a massive hole in the wall

idle nexus
#

lol drywall is always like that

#

like it only comes in I think like 1/2", 5/8", & 3/4"

#

or at least that's what most people use anyway

#

it's fairly sturdy but very brittle

#

what if you like, had a decoy computer setup & your real one was hidden in the closet or something

pseudo raven
#

lmao

idle nexus
#

Also, why is this so expensive for 2500 DPI?

pseudo raven
#

yeah nah the decoy strat should be good

#

its called s cam

dusk knot
#

Lmao

#

Waste of money

idle nexus
#

lol logitech is like the Corsair of Mouses ig

pseudo raven
#

ngl

#

thats probably a third party seller

#

logitech is bad but not THAT bad

idle nexus
#

but Corsair makes mouses too so I dunno

#

ig G502 + 100 + "lag-free" & silver accents is worth paying like 2.5x? heck if I know

north crescent
idle nexus
#

ah right

#

it's like how expensive sneakers make you run faster

opaque sedge
proud jackal
#

hall effect keyboards feel so nice

pseudo raven
#

do you have a wooting

idle nexus
#

I have prime?

#

okay but just to be sure & ig slightly obnoxious

proud jackal
idle nexus
#

this mouse is like comically small for my hand right?

pseudo raven
idle nexus
pseudo raven
#

all of the g502s lmao

idle nexus
#

like there's no support there & you can't even see how there's absolutely no support for the rest of my hand under that

#

watching myself move the heckin thing, it's almost like I'm controlling the mouse entirely with my fingers not my hand

pseudo raven
#

yep

idle nexus
#

my wrist doesn't move at all. ig I'm trying to trackball without a trackball

pseudo raven
#

get fat big mouse then

#

although fat big mouse nowadays can also be pretty light

idle nexus
#

lol I saw those vertical mouses & they're so ridiculous looking but kinda look comfortable. I would never get one because of how silly it looks but heck I don't want hand pain

north crescent
idle nexus
#

MX Ergo was so ergonomical but heck it just doesn't work for competitive gaming

proud jackal

also Cyberpunk was another game I played from the beginning to the end with a trackball lol

opaque sedge

#

what mods or wym

opaque sedge
#

Never even played console

idle nexus
#

oh like first game you ever played on PC? uhh Minecraft is fairly easy to get used to mouse & keyboard controls ig

lone mango
#

I be having that fingertip grip fr

idle nexus
#

& relatively slow & kinda easy

#

but can be really hard with settings on hardest lol

#

Hardcore

idle nexus

yes that lmao

Gow 2018 was nice on keyboard

Minecraft on kbm go hard

idle nexus

tbh I'm probably not the best person to ask. I just play Resident Evil & Fallout lol

proud jackal

lol wooting. Heck I thought you were talking about that website where you can get things kinda cheap & use your amazon account

velvet summit
lone mango
velvet summit
#

i can barely place blocks accurately at all with controller or touchscreen

idle nexus
#

I tried playing on nintendo switch but it felt off

velvet summit
#

lmao this reminds me of that video of minecraft pocket edition

idle nexus
#

or & android

#

touchscreen is terrible for gaming

#

even a trackball user knows that

#

what is "Angle Snapping?" it's an option on this TT thing

#

btw I dunno how people play build on fortnite. that crap is confusing & moves so quick

opaque sedge
idle nexus
#

it's gotta be like second nature

opaque sedge
#

But yh i cant imagine being able to play that way either

idle nexus

it moves too quick to actually be thinking about the pros & cons of each decision fr

opaque sedge

build has gotten to the point where in they recently added in "simple edits" where it does the shapes for you already, just have to press the edit button

6000 is a pretty standard speed
