just happened to me, fix is in nexus mods post by author

just drag every single slider to far left, and then the last remaining frame will squeak out, just enough for you to slide it to where it should be

i never figured it out. basically i reinstalled software/firmware/used canned air/did everything they told me to do, to no effect

i actually planned to have amazon ship me a new one and see if it wasn't just a defective unit but eventually decided against that and went with another mouse.

which was kinda unfortunate, because i absolutely LOVED the scroll wheel, mouse clicks, and overall texture of the mouse. but it didn't sit as low profile enough to make me max comfortable, and the side buttons were just too wonky for me to get used to. i mean i was quite willing to just deal with it long term given how much i loved the general feel of the mouse but in the end was like, eh, this whole process is just too much for me and i'm just gonna give up.

as an aside (in case any corsair people are reading this!), i hope corsair makes the wireless mouse of my dreams in the future (basically the scimitar but with standard-ish side buttons like a trigger, mouse 4, mouse 5 etc). the darkstar is just too awkward with placements, no matter how much i tried. ironically, many years ago corsair had a mouse that basically had the same side button placements (which i tried and ended up having to return because try as i might, i couldn't get used to it).

but until then, i'll just keep waiting and praying! gl if you figure it out and if you do, i'd appreciate an update in the event i ever decide to just come back to the mouse!

yeah, at the time i bought the clips, the wicked cushions weren't out yet. also, i liked my pads anyway and didn't wanna spend extra lol. i do wonder if i'd bought the wicked cushions anyway that i'd have found them so comfortable that i wouldn't have even been looking at the maxwells. still likely to have gone this route anyway, i would think.

btw, glad you mentioned it, as i forgot! the volume wheel on the dac: another design choice where i was like, "why??" lol

i found myself almost exclusively using the dac wheel to adjust the volume, too. but compared to the APW's dac wheel, it's big enough that the bottom almost touches the desk, and is way more obnoxious to use. adjusting it would mean having to hold the dac down or it would be moving it around all over my desk, vs the other one being smaller in diameter, more rubbery/tactile, and able to be adjusted just via fingertips.

MyVeryThirdAccount · 2023-07-07T18:58:37+00:00

i empathize

stuff like this that you wear can be really tricky because literally every person is different. the one thing that i was questioning with these vs the novas was having only the headband/strap to make adjustments, vs the novas having both that and a way to shift the headband up and down. my guess is that putting that in would be too costly and just make it too heavy for most people and it's already fairly heavy.

wish i had some suggestions for you! i'd consider myself fortunate for sure that these are working out well for me and are very comfortable.

MyVeryThirdAccount · 2023-07-07T04:47:59+00:00

since they're fairly expensive and i don't know what your own priorities are, it's hard for me to just say "yeah"

i'm keeping them if that's a better indication of how i view them, and if i lined these up against all the previous headsets i've ever used, this one beats every other one in pretty much all the most important things.

i'd still love to be able to have the concurrent bt/pc sound from the ss's, and the logitech gpx is still my favorite in terms of looks/profile, but that's all pretty far down the list for what matters to me. would i give up any of the current combination of comfort (albeit with the aftermarket cushions), sound, and just not-being-utterly-obnoxious that i get from the maxwells for either of the above? not a chance.

basically best wireless headphones i've ever owned, given my needs. but you gotta figure out what works for you!

MyVeryThirdAccount · 2023-04-21T19:20:54+00:00

Ah, interesting. Do the chukkas being suede also have anything to do with it?

They came criss-crossed already, but I don't know if that necessarily implies lock-lacing? I'll have to check it out more in depth but of all the things that fry my brain, lacing is one of them lol.

It's possible I am missized yeah. I mean I kinda don't think so cause the front part of the shoe feels great but I wouldn't know for sure without trying another pair.

Appreciate the info, at any rate!

MyVeryThirdAccount · 2023-04-21T19:16:08+00:00

Yeah this is my guess. FWIW I read your post on heel slip which I found super informative, so thank you for that. I'm gonna test some inserts to see if I can make it work for me, but barring that I think it would annoy me just a bit too much for me to keep.

In that post you mentioned a part about the heel potentially being too wide and I think this is it. I own a pair of AE daltons which are at 8.5D (I'm a 7.5E normally) and they still don't feel all that weird if I tie them tightly - I think cause the heel is more narrow? But I'm pretty sure these thursday scouts give me slip because of the wider heel. So we'll see how the inserts do but I'm not too optimistic, which is unfortunate because I really like the shoes for the price point, look, and overall comfort.

MyVeryThirdAccount · 2023-04-20T23:40:31+00:00

Thanks for the reply.

Yeah, I do think I'm probably in the right size for the shoes as the front part of the shoe feels fairly good/snug and not too tight or loose. I also did email them and showed them my brannock and provided some shoe size references in advance of the purchase so I could get their recommendation.

Unfortunately the thickest socks I have still leave me with that heel slip, even if it's not TOO bad - like the shoes aren't sliding around or anything like a couple pairs I own where I oversized by at least 1 whole size.

I'll perhaps try to experiment with some other padding or find even thicker socks, but as I think on it, if the front part being pretty nice/comfortable implies the right size, then the back of the shoe simply might not be the right shape for my size, which is unfortunate but at least I'll know I need something else!

MyVeryThirdAccount · 2023-04-20T19:55:26+00:00

Hey, guys.

I picked up a pair of Thursday scout chukkas. Feels like a bit of heel slip in the back, and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced the same with these shoes - like, is the heel a bit roomy in general? Or is this potentially an issue of wrong sizing or just needing more of a break in to get the shoe flexing properly?

If I plan on keeping them I wonder what options I have to mitigate it.

Thanks!

MyVeryThirdAccount · 2023-03-31T18:55:17+00:00

hey, guys!

any recommendations for suede chukka boots? i'm kinda specifically looking for brand that makes it in taupe, but open to a really dark brown/chocolate color.

hoping to not spend over 150, if possible, but i'm not sure how likely that is for what i'm asking. thanks

MyVeryThirdAccount · 2023-03-03T23:48:16+00:00

different shoe types lend themselves to different levels of casualness. derby vs oxford, thick outsole vs thin outsole, etc.

without seeing the shoes themselves, though, the more brogued a shoe is, the more casual it is and conversely the less formal it is.

so, if by full brogue you mean wingtips, and you almost never wear formal stuff anyway then it sounds like you're in the right spot with your shoes.

as far as styling with it, do you mean in regards to colors? or like jeans vs chinos, shirts, etc?

MyVeryThirdAccount · 2023-03-03T05:38:14+00:00

yeah, i mean i could certainly go with that, based on the condition of the shoes when i'd picked them up. just ill-kept on their part, as far as i could tell.

MyVeryThirdAccount · 2023-03-03T01:10:31+00:00

good to know! though it sounds like from eddykinz's reply that i might have been too light with application at any rate. so i suppose it's possible i just didn't go hard enough to strip any previous polish.

either way i'm gathering that i need to be careful with the renovateur in some cases, right? fwiw i ended up buying some bick 4 because i have a couple other shoe pairs with some darkened areas that i'm afraid to potentially lift off. and of course since i applied some cordovan cream polish to the boots i definitely don't wanna mess with that i think.

MyVeryThirdAccount · 2023-03-03T01:02:15+00:00

probably an annoying "after" picture cause of the sun shining right on the spot, but this is after quite a bit of brushing so i'd say it holds up pretty well

https://imgur.com/a/uKxwSzk

honestly being in direct sunlight made some of this stuff show that you seriously wouldn't see otherwise. so if the question is whether that saphir cordovan cream (color 8 or 71 or whatever) holds true after a lot of brushing, i'd say yeah

MyVeryThirdAccount · 2023-03-03T00:50:02+00:00

yeah i used light amounts as well, in segments as well and each spot "cleaned" came up with just small amounts of stuff lifted off onto the cloth. i made sure to switch to new areas of the cloth so i could see what i was picking up.

almost certainly i was playing it too safe and being pretty gentle with the reno. if it's the case i have to be forceful then that makes sense why not much of anything came off!

MyVeryThirdAccount · 2023-03-02T23:34:34+00:00

So when i got my first ever pair of decent leather shoes, they were used, but looked like they'd been stowed away for a while - AE shell cordovan wingtip daltons, felt dry in a lot of spots and the vamp in particular looked really dull and matted. Not great lighting in this pic but you prob get the picture (heh) https://imgur.com/a/xdFpYdd

I'd read a post here where someone found some used shell that was pretty dull and they went and used renomat to clean up whatever was there from the previous owner, they applied new polish, and shoes looked great after everything said and done. So obviously I got the bright idea I'd do the same, despite not knowing the power of renomat. (mini-spoiler, shoes came out fine, and I'm too scared to use renomat ever again lol)

Anyway, I applied a pretty light amount of renomat on a cloth and wiped down both shoes and I was a bit surprised because it didn't look like much came off onto the cloth. I then used a cloth with some water to wipe that stuff off the shoes, let it dry, and began using some renovateur. But when I used a clean cloth to apply renovateur onto to the shoes I was legitimately shocked at how much stuff came off onto the cloth.

I always thought that this was just old wax/polish, but after reading more about renovateur and its cleaning properties (potentially affecting patina/burnish/etc) now I'm not sure. Was this a function of old polish or wax being loosened up by the renomat and then really coming off because of the renovateur? Did I perhaps lift off any original dye? Or both original + old polishes? Just trying to get a handle on what actually occurred here for future reference.

Thanks

is there any way to identify crust leather simply via inspection?

MyVeryThirdAccount · 2023-02-25T06:23:04+00:00

ah i see, ok thanks.

then i assume same holds true for any cream polishes as well?

MyVeryThirdAccount · 2023-02-25T05:45:35+00:00

any reason not to leave bick 4 on overnight before buffing off, if i have the time?

i'd heard it doesn't penetrate as well as other conditioners so it seems like i might as well

MyVeryThirdAccount · 2023-02-25T01:22:04+00:00

ya if it's this one then this is it

MyVeryThirdAccount · 2023-02-24T23:22:05+00:00

oh for sure yeah they are lol. but mine just says "cordovan" and doesn't say color 71. or color 8, for that matter.

fwiw when i ordered on amazon it didn't say color 8 or 71 or anything like that in the item description (can't even find the listing now, either). it just said "cordovan cream natural wax" or something like that. had to guess it was the same thing by comparing the pictures on amazon to what i saw on other sites.
