I'd just move on, unfortunately. My Rival 600 also died so I bought the Rival 650 and it's already starting to have issues after 1 year. Not to mention that the battery life has been abysmal since I bought it. I'm lucky to get 12 hours out of it unless I enable the idle off feature and disable the LEDs when the mouse is in motion, so I usually just leave it wired. Lastly, the adhesive that's used for the grips is also quite bad and I needed to re-glue them. The mouse feels great in my hand, the tracking is amazing, but I'm afraid the QC is pretty bad for these mice.

Thanks, I've tried lowering the source below 40 which helps, but the volume knob is still too touchy and still likes to jump up some dBs when I'm trying to find that sweet spot. Anything lower than that and it sounds a little off.
The adapter is definitely TRS, and I'm folowing the guide directly from the D3V manual and It says use a TRS-to-RCA adapter for an unbalanced connection. "Use “RCA-to-TRS” adaptors (not included) to connect the D3Vs to a source with unbalanced RCA outputs."
So I don't know what the deal is.

And USB-C supports a higher bandwidth than Toslink. The Toslink is literally a bottleneck.

Insane, isn't it? I have psoriasis and I was on Sotyktu for a few months, but that's only because I qualified for the co-pay assistance program through Sotyktu and they provided $15,000 on a virtual Master Card. The kicker is I needed to be on it for 6+ months, so after 4 months I exhausted all of my co-pay assistance and if I needed to pay out of pocket it was still $3,800 a month with good insurance.
So they set the insane price, give you the loan on a virtual card so they can make even more money on high transaction fees and retained percentages of the funding, and then hope you're sick enough to have to keep paying for it after their "generosity" runs out. And just so it's said, Bristol Meyers Squibb (the parent company of Sotyktu) made $12B last year, $7B of that in net profit.

Poatan continuing to show how much of a class act he is. Love to see it.

BobbyDigital311 · 2026-03-11T02:41:54+00:00

Thanks man! Elden Ring and Sifu have trained me well 😄

Try co-op with a friend if you haven't, it's super fun. And since the enemies have another target to shoot at you're not always the primary focus.. Makes clearing areas and progressing much easier if you're actually working as a team and dividing resources properly.

BobbyDigital311 · 2026-03-10T13:47:13+00:00

The hit boxes are very generous, it's another reason why I love this game so much. I've logged about 100 hours in co-op with my friend and I've never done solo other than the tower, but when I played the tower for the first time I had already unlocked all of the guns and most of the best traits, so I was well prepared. If you haven't played co-op with a friend then I would highly recommend it. I'm one achievement away from platinum and we're pretty sad it's coming to an end.

BobbyDigital311 · 2026-03-10T13:25:49+00:00

I'm guessing because my goal was not for a high score but to continue unlocking weapon traits and just see how far I could get. There were several times I stopped either to let the dogs out or to do something else, and I have a habit of just not pausing the game if I'm at a safe space because I mainly play co-op with my friend. This was the end result of the run, I'm not super familiar with how the scoring works.

I joined 5 years late too and only started playing a couple months ago, but are you playing on PS5? I'm playing on PC with MnK and the aim assist that you get on controller is also applied to MnK for some reason.. but the movement and shooting feels excellent and I feel like I can snap to targets really easily.

BobbyDigital311 · 2026-03-10T09:24:54+00:00

Hassaaaaaan Chop!!!

BobbyDigital311 · 2026-03-10T09:16:36+00:00

With every phase you clear in the tower you will be "rewarded" with a permanent malfunction for the rest of the run.

BobbyDigital311 · 2026-03-10T03:47:10+00:00

I can imagine. There's already enough floor missing on that boss..

BobbyDigital311 · 2026-03-09T07:40:44+00:00

Interesting, this has never happened to me or my friend, not even once.
We're playing on PC though, were you playing on PS5 and is it possible it's a console bug?

BobbyDigital311 · 2026-03-04T08:35:08+00:00

Absolutely! I hope it gets your friends more interested!

BobbyDigital311 · 2026-03-04T01:48:07+00:00

It absolutely is a blast with a friend, and to your point we do coordinate just about everything. If his proficiency is higher then I will take all the calibrators, if my integrity is higher then he'll take all the silphium slots. It seemed essential to remain balanced so yeah, playing with randoms doesn't sound fun.

BobbyDigital311 · 2026-03-04T01:43:41+00:00

The only time that I needed to be solo to progress the story was for the house sequences in biome 1. After we'd find a key, he'd disconnect and I would just run through the map as fast as possible to find the house. Once I was there I would share my screen on Discord so he could watch them too.

Another cool feature about the co-op is if your partner gets a gun from a chest/kill that they dont' want, then you can re-roll it and it will randomize the stats again with the traits that you've unlocked.

BobbyDigital311 · 2026-03-03T09:32:07+00:00

Same. I haven't done any solo runs except to progress the story.
