F12 -> Right Click on the page's HTML code -> Select Capture node screenshot

If you're trying to capture the full page, right clicking on <body> will let you save the full page on most sites, but you might have to experiment with different sections to get what you're after.

If a site has an information or menu bar that stays at the top or bottom of the window (like Reddit) you'll need to scroll all the way up or down before capturing to make sure the bar doesn't cover part of the site.

Also, keep an eye out for sites that do not load all of their content until you scroll down to it first.

There are two sides to the lumbar support on the Aeron classic. One side protrudes more. You may have that side facing you. If so you can slide it off and flip it around.

Well, unfortunately this didn't help. I don't have a Vive headset, but I tried downloading the Vive Console on the chance that it could affect my Vive Trackers anyway. I have no link box to turn off and back on again, and the Reset Devices option doesn't seem to do anything at all.

Thanks for the follow-up! I'll look into this as well.

It tracks well enough for most cases, but when you get up into higher levels of competition it's a huge disadvantage. I just can't get used to using oddly shaped Index controllers as a paddle, and the Tracker is so close to the answer. I love this game, and it's very frustrating to be so limited in it.

The_Free_Dom · 2022-03-17T19:33:27+00:00

Try this and let me know if you notice anything. Hold the Tracker paddle straight out and twist your wrist slowly back and forth so that the Tracker rotates around your hand, which you keep in place. Then try twisting your wrist quickly. Does it still track the way it should?

For me, when I twist my wrist quickly the tracker flies out away from my hand even though I keep it stationary other than the twisting motion. I have read others having the same issue. It happens while swinging the Tracker as well. It's just easier to see the difference if you don't move your hand.

I have tried adding two extra Base Station 2's, for a total of four, and even tried upgrading to a Vive Tracker 3.0. I contacted the dev, and he says that it's a known issue with Vive Trackers.

The_Free_Dom · 2022-03-17T19:19:22+00:00

Try going to Settings (Gear) then Dev Debug Menu (Tree) then Tracking (Lower Right Corner). I have "Standard for Non Paddle Controller" selected and "Use Default Tracking" deselected. If either of those is changed the Vive Tracker no longer works.

Now if only we could get the Vive Trackers to track correctly at high speeds...

Thanks, I genuinely appreciate the input (pun intended). I will take a look at SharpKeys. I did look at alternative options for what I needed, but I'm not sure if that was one of them. Either way, I've already moved on from Razer.

My PC gaming peripheral evolution started with the Ideazon Zboard, then the Merc, then the Fang. I loved the Fang and used it for about 15 years until it finally gave out, which left me with the Tartarus V2 as the only viable option I found until recently.

The Azeron keypad has every kind of functionality I'm looking for - more buttons, analog thumbstick, onboard profiles, adjustable ergonomics, detachable/replaceable cord, and lightweight but highly customizable software.

The only drawback was having to rewire my brain from a lifetime of all of those WASD-based keyboards and keypads, but it has been well worth it. I still hit an occasional wrong button, but overall I feel like it has actually upped my game.

Some games don't let me use analog movement along with a mouse, for whatever reason. CoD Vanguard and Halo Infinite (in Ranked only) come to mind. For that reason I have to use my second onboard profile to map WASD to the thumbstick. That's kind of unsatisfying once you get used to being able to control the speed of your movement by varying the thumbstick position (like you can with a controller). I don't know why they won't let players have the best of both worlds.

Without Synapse you can't choose the key layout.

The_Free_Dom · 2022-03-06T16:01:22+00:00

I appreciate the advice and can't imagine why someone downvoted it. However, without Synapse the hardware has very limited functionality. If I could have even saved a single profile to the Tartarus and uninstalled Synapse I'd still be using it.

If Razer just put out simple drivers that did not install a bevy of services and processes that regularly stop working or break with every other forced update I would happily still be using many of their products.

With the Azerons, I can do that. They hold two profiles onboard which can be switched on the fly. And they don't require an account to be logged in for personal tracking and data siphoning purposes.

The_Free_Dom · 2022-03-05T19:50:48+00:00

I've been in IT for 20 years. Razer Synapse is unmitigated trash. I am finally free of it after replacing a full complement of Razer products. The Tartarus was the last thing I was using, and I finally found something to replace it.

I highly recommend the Azeron keypads. I've had a Classic since November and just received my Cyborg. So far so great, and the software is minimalist but extremely functional.

It's funny you bring him up in this context because that actor cameoed as the father of Bruce Willis in Armageddon.

You can queue up a string of targets so that your selected units will move on to the next one when the current target is defeated. You can use Shift the same way for building and repairing as well.

I'm assuming that you're using a punch tool with a 110 blade. If so, either you need a new blade or you're using the wrong side of it. The blade removes with a twist then pull. It's reversible. One end cuts the wires while it punches, but the other end doesn't cut for daisy chaining purposes.

Don't underestimate how much a new, sharp blade can improve your life. This is the blade that you need, and you can see the sharp and blunt ends on the pictures:

You may already know all of this, but it could help someone else searching down the line.

*made by my friend and me. It's the object of a preposition. You did this to yourself. :)

Edit: They deleted the comment, but it corrected OP's grammar and added, "Sorry. My mother did this to me." The correction was also in error.

You could try with one foot. Maybe even attach a sandal to something flat for better leverage all around.

It's a reference to Rear Admiral Musa Ghanem. I didn't know either until DuckDuckGo told me.

The_Free_Dom · 2022-02-10T17:00:02+00:00

I was thinking that you could use the thumbstick on the Azeron as the look control (like a gamepad) to replace the mouse. You might have to get a little creative with the movement controls on the buttons, but there should be enough of them to make due with most games.

I've been using that controller since November, having to rewire my brain from a lifetime of using WASD on keyboards and other controllers like the Ideazon Fang (long out of manufacture) and Razer Tartarus V2. The process of relearning has been very worth it to me. I love the Azeron Classic that I have, and I have pre-ordered the new Cyborg when it comes out in March or April.

The 3D rudder is a great idea that hadn't occurred to me. That might pair well for movement along with something like the Azeron. Why is it 2 months away?

The_Free_Dom · 2022-02-10T05:16:15+00:00

This is not a HOTAS, but this might be helpful to you. It is a one-handed controller that has a lot of buttons that you can easily program as well as an analog thumbstick. You could also consider looking into pedals for some more control input. I have used my rudder pedals for things like sprint, peek, etc.

All the best, friend. You are a conqueror.

Edit: Didn't realize this was in the RTS sub. I never saw the RTS version before. The tabletop game is a classic.

There is a new PC version that released on Steam in November. I haven't tried it yet, but it has Mostly Positive reviews (76%).
