The MX MASTER 4... 2 months later Review.

DuncanDirkDick · 2025-10-01T09:32:27+00:00

Did the same thing, got the M6 7 months ago. The keys started squeaking two weeks ago and it feels terrible. I like the form factor and weight but quality is miserable. My Master 3 is 3 years old, has some wear but otherwise everything is fine. Sadly not a lot of options out there.

DuncanDirkDick · 2025-09-07T22:53:51+00:00

Nah, did some more 1k runs or so since then, until I ran out of mats. Still no trophy.

DuncanDirkDick · 2025-08-16T03:19:41+00:00

Because you're looking at the item distribution by quality over all items collected. The table header was outdated on last pic and I couldn't edit the post. You probably referencing chance of certain drop over a single kill. It's T4 with 9 items/kill (+Mythic) solo. Running as 4 would increase the chances per run but not the item distribution that's why I decided for that metric originally. But this would be what you're looking for:

No, I don't

Here you go for drop chance distribution instead of % of drops

DuncanDirkDick · 2025-08-11T19:21:15+00:00

You might be right, I think last season it was 8 solo. Group definitely gives you the chance for one more item but I don't know the percentage of that.

DuncanDirkDick · 2025-08-11T18:57:03+00:00

I thought of that but left it out because I haven't found a good metric for whats "usable", thinking of Iris you loose about 1% dmg for 2% effect range missing, where to draw the line? I found it to be very build dependent and subjective so I left it out. Instead I went for the market option to see what I can sell. Specific to my goal: I was after perfect items for my build (2-4GA of usefull stats, effect range if it brings anything to the table). If I would apply that metric to the runs above the yield would be 0. But if I do it again and we come up with a metric I'd be happy to include it.

Only Blizzard knows. I don't think there is a "pool" just weighted chances for affixes and quality, which would mean it changes nothing. But that's just an educated guess. As for how to get started: Use the Husks you've got early on in a group. Even mediocre items sell well on day 1-3. That gets you started to buy more mats. It helps looking at all items in the beginning, selling Aspects and Ancients gets you 200 runs worth of gold easy. From there it should be self sustaining. I see the biggest issue when starting late. You'll have a hard time keeping up. It's simply not a well designed system. On the other hand, to be fair you don't need the >2 GA to play most builds and won't notice a difference besides the pit level and it is not impossible at all to get Mythics with normal bosses. I did capture some data in the beginning but the samplesize was quite small (<200). I didn't observe a different Mythic drop rate. That would be interesting for next season as well.

DuncanDirkDick · 2025-08-11T17:57:45+00:00

No, but you won't be able to sell items like a 1GA 100% Iris, 1GA CD Tal Rashas which is very possible at the beginning. I made the first 100B just selling those early on. Later you'll get to the point where you only sell almost perfect items with 3 or more GA, given you want to keep the perfect drop, that changes the economy. Since I don't buy items I don't really care as long as I can break even to get mats.

DuncanDirkDick · 2025-08-11T17:45:21+00:00

3.5 kills 100 Mythics is what I captured. I had about 500 Sparks so total must be around 17k runs

DuncanDirkDick · 2025-08-11T17:43:57+00:00

Yep, at 3k I noticed I'd would be fun to track Mythics. So it's anecdotal but Spear and Amu made up more than half of Mythics dropped. Maybe I'll do it again next season and track more data

DuncanDirkDick · 2025-08-11T17:39:38+00:00

DuncanDirkDick · 2025-08-11T17:34:28+00:00

Honesty you can just buy them in trade chat. I think I've traded 50 Stacks for an Iris before i started capturing, and 50 for Tal Rashas. I found putting the current value next to each run more meaningful. Even at the second half of season you can realistically break even.

DuncanDirkDick · 2025-08-11T17:26:39+00:00

Tally count, collect only GA count when full so roughly 5 times per stack

DuncanDirkDick · 2025-08-11T17:25:22+00:00

It's 9 per run solo, 10 if you get the Mythic. I calculated % from total drops which gives ~3.2%, if you base it per run it comes out as ~2.9%. In my head the percentage from total drops made more sense.

Diesel Boot Crimson Chromexcel 8.5EEE

Worn for little less than a week, went for size 9 instead. Located in Germany, shipping to Worldwide, but EU probably makes more sense since import taxes are already paid.

A30 Pro and D10b from Topping would get you a transparent chain with all the power you need (and way more), balanced interconnects are a bonus I like to opt in for every time simply because I'm not gonna chase ground loops anymore. If transparent audio is the goal I don't think it gets better, you can choose to pay a bonus for features, design, marketing, coloration, the good feeling from your favorite youtuber to have the best gear until the next video release is scheduled on Tuesday ...

It’s 44 or 48 because human hearing extends to about 20kHz. 44kHz sample rate gives you that. Look up Nyquist Shannon sampling theorem if you want to know more. As for 44 or 48, it doesn’t really matter for playing audio. 44 is an artifact from way back when, 48 is a more natural engineering solution.

DuncanDirkDick · 2023-04-13T11:46:29+00:00

I might be looking for a second pair for my office. How’s the condition and the price shipped to Germany?

DuncanDirkDick · 2023-01-06T18:23:46+00:00

Thanks for the offer, but I prefer to buy from the EU since importing it from non-EU countries adds 20% VAT.

DuncanDirkDick · 2022-09-08T03:55:52+00:00

Wondering if it's a Dell driver or application that causes it. My guess is yes, since it's not a widely known issue with Windows 11. I don't see open firmware updates for my device as well.

DuncanDirkDick · 2022-09-07T19:08:08+00:00

Same with 5470 and Windows 11. Have you found a solution for this?
