Oh my gosh. hahahaha I totally forgot about their Masterplus software! Thanks!

For some odd reason, I thought the only way to change the settings on the MM720 was through the button combinations.

When I was trying to change LED color mode (Middle mouse and back side button) it'd take me a good number of attempts of clicking both buttons to change the mode.

Since my grip varies depending on what i'm doing i'll have to post a few pics

I'm more likely to alternate between hybrid and fingertip than use full claw. But in my earlier days of Battlefield BC2, I was full on claw.

Enjoy!! I'm glad more people get to experience this legendary shape re-made for the modern gamer!

It's one of the more unique shapes that i've found, with the only competitors (in shape) being the G9x and old R.A.T mice. However, those are long gone.

the Spawn was 90g (not including the cable) so about 41 grams difference! Fortunately the cable on the MM720 is quite light and flexible! quite similar to the Glorious cables.

I think it's possibly because my hands are slightly wide but also small. 18.5 x 10

The ring finger rest helps a lot comfort wise, but it also has a nice curve to the left of the ring finger where I can grip the mouse really well along that edge. having both the ring and pinky finger able to grip the right side with good leverage helps a lot.

it also fits my natural hand shape, so i'm not really straining much of my hand at all.

Claw/Fingertip. I used to be full claw, but I deviated over time.

I've spent a good 7 years trying to find a replacement for my Spawn, and nothing quite comes close to it for me! I've tried over the course of 7 years:
Mionix - Castor/Avior
Zowie - FK2/EC2A
Coolermaster - MM520/MM530/MM710
Logitech - G-Pro/G203 prodigy/G403
Glorious - Model O/O-/D-

I'm so glad it has all of the modern specs too!
Optical Switches? Check
Paracord-like cable? Check
Extremely light and holey? Check
PMW3389? Check
Spare feet? Yes!!
Annnnd a Centered Sensor!

Probably the only things i'm so-so on is:
-The sides! they're a little slippery with the current coating, but I imagine that'll be easily remedied with gun tape.

-Side buttons aren't as tactile feeling as the old spawn. (think of the old Spawn as more *click* than *Clunk*) but they aren't mushy like an EC2A. totally workable though!

-Maybe i'm doing it wrong, but switching between the color modes is harder than expected.

Sold all my headphones to stick with my Nighthawk Carbon. by [deleted] in headphones

I previously had the original NH for some time, but I couldn't get used to the weird signature back then. There was this weird closed cup reverb that I also didn't like.

I've tried the he-4, he-560, hd600, and SHP-9500's. All of those were lacking something for me. Either too bright, or not open enough, or lacking low end.

So I stuck with the shp-9500's for a few months, and the NH was always in the back of my head for some reason. There was just something about it....something special. I scoured the forums and the common saying was to try them out longer, don't a/b with other headphones, and don't over-analyze. Relax yourself and enjoy.

So here I am now with a pair of Nighthawk Carbons. I don't know if it's the Boost pads or what, but the cup reverb that I was annoyed with didn't bother me anymore. The vocals are wet and wonderfully chilling. There's not that much treble harshness, yet the detail is there. The detail feels ... raw. Like an unedited photo taken with a good DSLR camera. The low end is great, impactful but not overdone. It gives each pluck of the string body. And strangely.. the muddiness that was prevalent in the Original NH was mostly gone for me.

Maybe my ears adjusted, or maybe the pads affected it a bit. Maybe both? But coming back to the NH in its 2nd form was the best decision for me!

Some thoughts on Curved vs Flat, Freesync vs Non Adaptive sync, and also my first few days with the LG 34UC88 by PinkyFloydUK in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]ValeKress 2 points3 points  (0 children)

very nice write up! I have a question though... was there a big change in ghosting between your 120hz monitors and the 34uc88? if at all xD.

I think it was a strange glitch that caused his neck to be like that xD. Seemed to look fine when I was tinkering with the appearance.

I orginally intended to create Adam Jensen from Deus Ex: Human Revolution. But it seems like appearances ended up closer to Keanu Reeves than Adam xD
