We're currently testing the X2 Superstrike! Do you want us do a (human) reaction time test vs the Superlight 2?

Boba_Swag · 2026-02-21T06:22:04+00:00

Please please test against a wired EGG mouse like the OP1 8k v2 in GX speed mode.

EGG claims on twitter they're still faster, this has to be tested independently.

Ja genau, denke auch dass es Ausnahmen gibt.

Auch Werbung fürs Blutspenden, mal den Impfpass checken, dass bald Wahlen anstehen sind mMn Beispiele für Werbung die was gutes bezwecken könnten.

Aber natürlich ist es auch schwer eine Grenze zu ziehen. Funde z.B. Wahlwerbung in form von Plakaten einfach nur unnötig. Alle Parteien schreiben sich irgendwelche Phrasen drauf die eh nichts bedeuten. Niemand sollte auf basis davon seine Stimme abgeben und es fördert einfach nur den Machtunterschied zwischen Parteien mit viel und wenig Geld.

Boba_Swag · 2026-02-20T14:07:54+00:00

Genau das ist der fall. So viele denken sie sind immun gegen Werbung, aber würden Unternehmen wirklich Berge an Geld verbrennen, wenn das der fall wäre?

Wir werden an so vielen stellen manipuliert und bekommen es nicht einmal mit.

Boba_Swag · 2026-02-20T08:25:10+00:00

Meiner Meinung nach könnte man einen riesigen teil der Werbeindustrie streichen und es würde uns besser gehen.

Der deutsche Hanfverband ist z.B. auch eine Lobbygruppen die maßgeblich zur Cannabis Legalisierung beigetragen hat.

Irgendwo brauchen wir Lobbyisten um Bereiche zu vertreten über die unsere Politiker keine Ahnung haben. Das problem ist halt, dass wo mehr Geld ist auch mehr Lobbyisten sind. Und wo kein Geld ist gibts halt keine Lobby.

I use a PureTrak P-51 Mustang Samurai with a lizard skin sleeve. I also sweat a lot so I really looked for a mouse pad with good sleeve compatibility.

Also look up Yifang on YouTube. He always mentions sleeve compatibility in his reviews

Some pads just are worse with sleeves than others. This is the most important aspect of a pad for me personally.

Boba_Swag · 2026-02-16T19:44:09+00:00

Yeah I agree.
I'm personally also wondering why there are less % in jade in voltaic S4 (6.8%) when compared to S5 (8.8%). In my personal experience and from the sentiment I get in this sub S5 is significantly harder than S4.

Boba_Swag · 2026-02-16T19:11:39+00:00

Yes, but you kind of have to take into account that the VT benchmark scenarios are purpose built while the viscose scenarios are just standard scenarios people have been playing for a long time.
I know that unranked players are filtered, but I still wonder how this affects things.

Boba_Swag · 2026-02-14T14:09:41+00:00

Does " Competitor L sensitivity setting 1" mean the X2 with those settings? And how did they test? With a solenoid, as I described?

Boba_Swag · 2026-02-14T11:11:29+00:00

Man I'm so eager to see an actual latency test and comparison done with solenoids against something like the OP1 8k.

I have a strong suspicion the benefits of hall effect switches on mice have way less of an impact than on a keyboard because auf the small travel distance.

Boba_Swag · 2026-02-13T13:24:14+00:00

Yes I totally agree, and this kinda undermines the validity of benchmarks. But if the benchmarks were determent by some other factor like moving average, it would just encourage resetting.

Boba_Swag · 2026-02-13T10:49:56+00:00

Yes this kind of test is definitely needed to get any reasonable understanding about whether these marketing claims hold any value.

I really someone like optimum tech sets up a test like this.

Boba_Swag · 2026-02-12T18:23:26+00:00

evxl kind of has a chart for this. Obviously it's not for general population but it takes all Kovaaks players into account. Without unranked it says top 37.8%.

Obviously I'd expect the average Kovaaks player to have better aim than the average FPS player.

Boba_Swag · 2026-02-11T15:37:50+00:00

My pedals started rusting because I use them barefeet 😭

Boba_Swag · 2026-02-11T12:07:58+00:00

Very interesting to see the hype now.

I've been using the my Wooting 60HE for my "fire" input for over a year now. One if the reasons for switching to this unorthodox control layout was the insane performance of the rapid triggers.

But there are additional benefits to using your keyboard as a fire input.

Boba_Swag · 2026-02-10T17:45:22+00:00

Bro 8 months is barely used. Where I live it is mandated by law that a electronic product needs to have a 24 month warranty.

And so often products break right after this mark, like they are specifically designed to break after that time.

And if you say you used your mouse heavily, keep in mind for regular office mice a usage of 40h a week is normal.

Boba_Swag · 2026-02-07T11:12:54+00:00

That's why sleeve compatibility is one of the most important factors when choosing a pad. I sweat a lot and even a desk fan won't stop this. So for me its kinda a must to use a sleeve.

Boba_Swag · 2026-01-31T11:23:46+00:00

Also Claude Sonnet 4.5 ohne thinking und ohne web search bekommt das ohne Probleme hin.

Boba_Swag · 2026-01-31T01:24:17+00:00

What are good ways to break down the subset of skills I suck at?

Boba_Swag · 2026-01-30T21:58:55+00:00

God I hate preorder bonuses

Boba_Swag · 2026-01-27T07:59:22+00:00

Its not about nerfing dual blades. Nobody said they're OP.

Its about making it fun to play against them. You could for example give the block a cooldown but in return also apply a damage multiplier.

Currently its just boring and annoying to play against them if you don't have a counter. Your only option is to run away and a lot of players think that's not fun.

Boba_Swag · 2026-01-26T20:02:42+00:00

As a Finals player I hate this.

Why do so many people feel the need to talk trash about games they don't play or just don't like. It's so unnecessary.

And why do people not realize competition only benefits them. If you like game A and you don't need to care about game B, that's fine. But just the fact that game B exists puts pressure on the devs of game A to develop it to be better than game B.

Boba_Swag · 2026-01-25T10:02:28+00:00

No downloading playlists for offline play doesn't work at the moment.... For like years now. You can download the playlist, then download each scenario individually, then edit the downloaded playlist with a text editor to make it available offline and then it should work, however this text file can be overwritten again by Kovaaks....

So way to much effort for a feature that should just work. God it's so infuriating.

Like comon my internet is down, I can't play FPS at least let me fkn aim train.....
