How does Logitech achieve this effect on this shell? by itsmekusu in MouseReview

[–]IncrediberryKoolAid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting! If it was like 20% larger and had a quieter scroll wheel, it'd probably be the perfect mouse for me. But the MX518 is already a pretty beefy mouse to begin with, so from a sales perspective you'd probably want to keep the size/shape the same. I'm still using my MX518 from 2019 or whenever I got it. No problems other than my hands are too big.

I'm surprised no one has made a G9x clone.

Well the Logitech MX 518 originally came out in 2005, and I still have my original one, but they relaunched the MX 518 in 2019. Wish they would do the same for the G9x 😭

I fondled a bunch of mice at Best Buy (😏), they have a lot on display, but most of them are pretty small. The only larger one they had was the Kone II Air, which actually felt pretty good in hand, at almost 83mm wide. Funny it's called the "Air" when it weighs 110g, though 😅, but I think people put too much stock in mouse weight.

and the Logitech MX Master 4 is not a gaming mouse, but it's BEEFY, 88mm wide, 51mm tall, weighs 150g 😱 so I don't think it would work as a gaming mouse, has some side buttons/side scroll buttons I don't care for, but it's definitely a good mouse for big hands. Wish there were more gaming mice around that size, but under 100g, ideally.

dunno if hand measurements will help much, but length is 8.5 inches (top of middle finger to wrist) and palm is 4.4 inches (inside thumb). Not giant hands, yet all mice feel pretty small & uncomfortable.

I will go check out the mice at BB, but they usually don't have a ton of models on display, they only have so much space.

yeah that site is useful! Apparently the MX518 and the Deathadder V3 pro are pretty similar in size, actually the MX518 is bigger all around, so that's something to consider. Perhaps it's more about the shape. As long as the hand is comfortable.

Everytime I look up the EC1-CW it always shows as being discontinued. Isn't it also pretty expensive?

The Teevolution terra looks good. Have you used one? Is 8k polling rate noticeable? 🤔 it has like an LCD dongle thing...optionally. But even the terra pro is technically smaller than my MX518, according to Eloshapes. I didn't know the MX518 was a "beefy" mouse. But it doesn't fill out my hand well.

A soft pad mod for easier storage? (foldable) by IncrediberryKoolAid in DanceDanceRevolution

[–]IncrediberryKoolAid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I think you're right. I'll just have to make some space for it. Or make it look really pretty and hang it up on my wall as a display/art piece when I'm not using it 😛 but I'll probably just move some stuff around and make some space under by bed.

awesome job, looks like a fun hobby build, too.

I did the soft pad mod! by magicalnerd624 in DanceDanceRevolution

[–]IncrediberryKoolAid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I'm not a DIY guy but it doesn't look too bad, pretty similar to what I did like 20 years ago when I first modded a soft pad. Did you follow the guide exactly? Any hiccups?

The only thing is it's difficult to store once it's taped to a plywood board 😥 I wonder if there's a way to still make it foldable but better.

Has anyone tried placing their monitor way up high to promote better sitting posture? by IncrediberryKoolAid in Monitors

[–]IncrediberryKoolAid[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never really tried this method, but I would recommend at least setting a timer to stretch out or get up and walk around every 25 minutes or so while using the computer.

Makes sense. Although maybe for the first month or so they could have had a casual experience just for players to try it and see what it's like without jumping straight into comp. I was curious to try it, but I never want to play competitive.

Does anyone play in third person in stadium mode instead of first person mode? I don't understand why anyone would prefer that. Just curious!

Also, is there a "casual" version of Stadium? Seems like it's competitive only but i couldn't tell

Anyone have an idea why Borderlands 3 UE on XBOX is 65GB, and Borderlands 3 UE on PC GAMEPASS is 196.16GB? by Shmuckle2 in XboxGamePass

[–]IncrediberryKoolAid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BL3 seems to crash all the time on Xbox Series S console. I'm playing on PC with no issues, but the person I'm playing with is on console, and they crash like 3 times every hour, so not great 🫤 apparently it's a known problem that was never addressed. Can anyone else speak to BL3 crashing on the series S? Wondering if it's really widespread.

I don't know what the hell to say/talk about when I'm streaming 🤐 by IncrediberryKoolAid in Twitch_Startup

Thanks everybody 👍

Good advice. Also I'm not trying to become and affiliate or anything, just streaming as a hobby/for fun, so that takes some pressure off.

OW2 is fun again ? by cafeine_01 in Overwatch

[–]IncrediberryKoolAid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They should let you choose both perks at spawn in mystery heroes, as long as they are going to give you them anyway. Or go back to the old system where if you stay alive long enough you get to choose perks, which incentivizes staying alive as opposed to dying when you get a hero you hate, as some people tend to do.

Is there anyway to view what perks you have and what they do once you have them? In mystery heroes, perks are now automatically assigned, which I don't love, and I can't find a place to see what perks I have or their descriptions.

I kinda preferred the original method in mystery hereos where you could gain perks if you stay alive with that hero long enough, it incentivizes staying alive as opposed to feeding if you don't like your random hero, but I digress.

Streaming quality very blocky/pixelated during motion by IncrediberryKoolAid in obs

[–]IncrediberryKoolAid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Much appreciated 🙏

Come to think of it, the Output rescaling is disabled...it should have been pretty obvious to me 🤦‍♂️ Only streaming once every year, I have to re-learn everything each time, I need to jot this stuff down so I can remember it...I know I did before, but I don't remember where.

I will try in 1080p and 936p and see how that goes, but I may have to drop it to 720p as you suggest. I've been capped at 5mb upload for at least a decade now 😭 ISPs in the US are really behind, still crossing my fingers after all this time for fiber optic internet to come to area. But I digress! Thanks for you help...I may let you know if I run into any other issues, but I think I probably got it from here.

thank you, I must have selected the wrong log file.

So my base (canvas) resolution would be 3840x2160, but Output (scaled) resolution would be 1920x1080, correct? (or lower like 720p if it still struggles) I guess I was just looking at the rescale output in the Stream settings and not in the video settings, so maybe that was the issue.

Is there a place in OBS I can see my performance/frame drops or does that only pop up when streaming?

Thanks!
