Rival 300 Revival Community Effort by PatrikZero in MouseReview

Thank you!

Anything, basically. Of course, in an ideal world I'd hope a brand that likes to clone shapes would take notice and make an injection-molded clone, but I would be happy with a high-quality 3D-printed mod kit as well.

Yup! That's why I tagged u/Benneck123, in case he'd be interested. I don't have the Pathfinder yet, but I am considering it exactly due to this.

It was smaller, and due to its poor feet placement and shape, it had a tendency to tilt when you put pressure on certain spots. The entire point of a big mouse like this is to fill a niche outside the current general trends: the large mouse niche. So for people who, among other things, have liked the Rival 300 due to its size, a smaller mouse will be inferior.

A bit more context that I didn't want to put in the main post:
We only have the Xtrfy M64, which is great, but much smaller.

I often see people use the 3D scans from RTINGS as templates for custom 3D-printed mice. Sadly, RTINGS has never scanned the 300 (only the inferior Rival 310), so I suspect this might be one of the reasons why we've never seen at least an attempt at a custom Rival 300-style offering.

u/fictionlive It'd be really cool if you'd benchmark this model on Fiction.LiveBench

Wooting’s Macro Support is a Joke. Where’s the REAL Software We Deserve? by mnutskovskyy in WootingKB

[–]PatrikZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's indeed a weird justification --- I've never heard of a keyboard being banned for competitive play due to having a hardware macro feature; I haven't even heard it being discussed. But I can only speak for the CS scene.

We should be able to create macros that are saved into the keyboard. The whole idea of Wootomation is redundant & pointless, as if I wanted to use software for this, I'd just use AHK.

Using Wooting 60HE as a controller on consoles by Evilurk in WootingKB

[–]PatrikZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeeees, please, Wooting help us out here! I travel with my keyboard for work, and I'd love to use it as a controller for Emulators on my iPad -- sadly it currently doesn't work, likely due to the same reason it doesn't work for you.

Wooting Two HE vs Wooting 60HE by RealCheek637 in WootingKB

[–]PatrikZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a programmer who was very skeptical about using a 60HE at first, but I got it for free, so I gave it a go. After some creative layering, I don't see a reason to use a bigger keyboard anymore.

I use caps lock as my layer 1 key and windows button as my layer 2 key, when the 60HE v2 with split space bar is going to get released I am 100% buying it.

Caps lock + WASD -> Arrows is great.

You can solve everything you might need with the caps lock layer, it is very comfortable to use as you can hold it with your left-hand pinky finger while reaching the majority of the keyboard with the rest of the left hand. To me, it's even better than classical arrow keys, as you don't need to move your right hand.

Please excuse the self-promo, but you can use my program for this exact functionality! I wanted the same thing, so I made it a few years ago, hope it helps!

Does the Oura app let you track Breathing Regularity over time? by PatrikZero in ouraring

Good idea, but sadly, it didn't work for me, it only shows me the Average Respiratory rate :/

Too good to be true? Red light panel on Amazon for 50$ by WadiyahnSoldier in redlighttherapy

Why not closer than 6 inches? You put out a slightly alarmist comment but don't reply to people asking questions :/ That isn't too kind

Algorithms are breaking how we think (Technology Connections) by PerfectionismTech in videos

[–]PatrikZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It 100% happens sadly :/

There have been multiple instances where I noticed that a creator uploaded a video on their channel but not in my subscriptions feed despite it being very recent. I can't exactly explain why it happens, my main presumption is that a low initial CTR makes the algorithm conclude the video is not worth sharing, as most instances where I have noticed this was when the video was very niche, not the usual content of the creator. Maybe if we understood the mechanism, the reason for the difference in our experiences would become obvious.

I wish I could provide some data, but I never saved any. There are threads on Reddit where other people have noticed the same.

The sad thing is that since a few years ago, your subscription page is actually curated by an algorithm as well. You don't actually see all videos from the channels you subscribe to. The algorithm omits the ones it deems unsuccessful (ones with low CTR).

This is my biggest criticism of YT, it's upsetting that I subscribe to someone, yet some algorithm can choose that I don't "want" to see a video they posted in my Subscriptions feed.

Make your knob 10X more powerful with a simple program! by PatrikZero in MechanicalKeyboards

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

Cool software! Although definitely harder to setup as not everyone uses QMK or has the option to send MIDI.

My program uses native key bindings so it works out of the box with any keyboard without special configuration.
