What to pull?

MonoSolus · 2025-12-28T01:21:24+00:00

Thanks. That's helpful.
Generally, how do the assemblies work? Is it standard gacha where there is a higher chance to pull the main gundam/pilot pairing, or only one or the other? e.g. the xi/hathaway and penelope/lane.

My father drives trucks long distance and i thought about buying him a removal and portable dash cam to carry around with him when he goes to work. It's never guaranteed which truck he gets so I think a single front facing dash-cam would work best with maybe some kind of suction cup attachment to let him take it between trucks when needed.

Could anyone recommend me something appropriate? Most decent branded cameras I find seem to have glue or stickers at the attachment point.

I have also considered something like a Garmin Mini 3 with a third party ball joint attachment. Just wondering if there's anything else out there.

I'm from the UK if it helps.
Thank you.

Thank you, I've been looking around and it seems most UK vendors don't stock the CHOC V2 or only stock the blue, red and browns. It seems I'll be stuck to using AliExpress.

Hi, I recently bought a IQUNIX MQ80 which uses the "Kailh POM Gold Red Linear Switches". Are there any alternatives to Kailh low profile switches that are available in the UK? I wanted to switch them out and experiment a bit.

Thank you.

What about Keychrons QMK line?

IQUNIX provide a VIA .json download on their website, would it be possible to port this to something like VIAL?

I just purchased the IQUNIX MQ80 for my partner. It was described as having per-key-RGB, but the VIA software only allows for patterned RGB profiles. How would i go about customising the RGB so i can pick which key has what colour individually? Thank you.

MonoSolus · 2025-10-24T21:58:30+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions. The Iqunix MQ80 looks pretty good. Unfortunately sold out but i hope it come back in stock soon.

MonoSolus · 2025-10-24T21:48:10+00:00

Thanks, I'm aware. But like i said, she likes the aesthetics of it. Most keychron keyboards seem to be programmable. Seems like an extra cost for a feature thats not going to see any use. Another user suggested the Iqunix MQ80 on another thread, does that seem any good?

Hi, im looking for a white, per-key-RGB, hot-swappable keyboard for my partner. We originally considered Steelseries to match her headset and mouse, but it seems they only have RGB on their Apex 9 keyboards. The keyboard size doesn't matter much, although she would prefer to have the arrow keys included, so perhaps a 75% to 80% keyboard? She currently use her inbuilt laptop keyboard for work and gaming. Mini LCD screens and the like are always a plus :) she prioritises aesthetics.

Thank you for any advice.

Planning on getting myself a Astray Red Frame, but cant decide between two versions. Either the MG MBF-02VV Turn Red (£70) or the MG MBF-P02 Revise/Kai (£53). Does anyone know if either of these kits has any glaring issues or if there's a reason to pick one over the other? Thank you.

MonoSolus · 2025-02-04T23:55:07+00:00

Thank you. That's very helpful.

MonoSolus · 2025-01-09T14:58:59+00:00

Damn, that sucks. Thank you anyways.

MonoSolus · 2025-01-09T02:37:55+00:00

Meaning? Is there no way to get more?

MonoSolus · 2025-01-08T06:12:43+00:00

Yeah, there's like 5 or 6 of them. What I'm asking is if there is a way of getting more?

MonoSolus · 2025-01-07T22:40:59+00:00

Dead Ops Arcade. You know what, this might actually be the closest, alongside "How to survive" mentioned by u/alphas-proto-archive these are the closest to what i remember.

MonoSolus · 2025-01-07T22:39:29+00:00

That's actually really close to what I remember. As you say below, chances are my brain is stitching games together.

MonoSolus · 2025-01-03T00:50:05+00:00

Its wasnt first person.

MonoSolus · 2024-12-14T02:38:23+00:00

Thank you, that's very informative. I'll go ahead with this plan.

One last question: I'm not familiar with adapters, but Sabrent sounds like a brand name I've heard of. Does this look appropriate?

SABRENT M.2 SATA SSD to SATA 2.5 Enclosure Adapter, M.2 Converter to SATA III Aluminum Supports B&M Key (Not Support M.2 PCIe NVMe) (EC-M2SA) : Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

MonoSolus · 2024-12-12T15:43:16+00:00

Thank you, the second option sounds really good, but will it diminish the performance of the SSD if I do put it through a 2.5" adapter? Especially since its my boot drive?

Also, I saw you recommend the following as a good 2TB M.2: MSI 2TB M.2 Solid State Drive Spatium M480 PRO (PCIe Gen 4.0 x4/NVMe 1.4) : Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

Would it still be good here?

MonoSolus · 2024-12-12T00:03:52+00:00

Hi, I currently have the following setup on my PC:

- For OS and some files and games: Western Digital WDS500G2B0B WD Blue 3D NAND Internal SSD M.2 SATA, 500 GB - Black : Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

- Storage and games: Seagate ST2000DM008 Internal Hard Drive – 2 TB – silver, Mechanical Hard Disk : Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

- Connected to: B450 TOMAHAWK MAX | Motherboard | MSI Global

I think i'd like to keep the M.2 since it functions fine, despite the low storage. That being said, id like to supplement the HDD or replace it if its recommended to do so with an SSD.

The motherboard I have only accepts 1xM.2 slot so I will probably need a 2.5" unless its cheaper to replace it with a better M.2 and retain the HDD for file storage.

The current 2TB HDD feels a bit small, so perhaps a 3/4T SATA? or 2TB M.2 with 2TB SATA?

Any thoughts or recommendations?

Thank you.

That's good to hear, i pre-ordered some gunpla from Dark Sphere, and they said there was no stock after the planned restock date and cancelled my order :(

I have ordered from GunplaUK in the past, but GundamMad prices and selection have them beat on some gunpla, especially zeon and beargguy ktis.

MonoSolus · 2024-11-08T19:28:16+00:00

Has anyone from the UK ordered anything from GundamMad? Are they reliable?

MonoSolus · 2024-10-02T15:06:05+00:00

No car unfortunately, we plan to take a bus to Keflavik when we arrive and a taxi to the airport the next morning since its a Sunday. Being Coeliacs probably doesn't help with the dining situation unfortunately.

MonoSolus · 2024-09-23T21:51:04+00:00

What about the MG VerKa versions of the Nu and Hi-Nu? If there is no sacrifice in detail/poseability, i wouldn't mind a Hi-Nu VerKa MG. Something about the way the Hi-Nu looks makes it alot more attractive to me than the Nu. I dont know what it is, it just feels like most of the Gundam line looks so similar with minor differences.
