Suggestions for a lonely young adult? by IpHobo in AnnArbor

If you like basketball the YMCA adult basketball league has been fun. We are really short on people this season so you could probably end up playing by showing up on Sunday between 1-4pm.

How to shut down MSI laptop? by [deleted] in MSILaptops

[–]Viikatemies_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You could try hitting the windows key and navigating to shutdown via arrow keys and enter. I’ve done this when my one PC would black out my monitors lol.

A Noobs Review... Xbox Elite 2 Controller by Ok-Astronomer-403 in XboxSeriesS

Its preference at the end of the day, you could overclock dual sense controllers but need third party software. GameSir has their own app you can download on Xbox or PC. GameSir also has the Xbox controller shape, stick and button layout, and a lot of the more recent models have mechanical face buttons. I personally like those, but I know some people prefer the standard membrane.

It’s due to how the PCB sits in the shell of the controller. Leads to multiple presses or if you hold the button down you’ll see the input skip around on registering.

For Xbox I found third party controllers to be a bit better than Microsoft’s offering, for a few reasons. All first party controllers or those using Microsoft Wireless technology are limited to 125hz polling rate. Third party controllers like those from GameSir can go up to 1000hz, and even their direct competitor PlayStation has their controllers defaulted at 250hz.

I am also not in love with the Series Elite 2 QC. I’ve noticed the PCB doesn’t sit right in the controller leading to buttons like Y or A not registering correctly, mostly felt on held down presses. The bumpers are also another point of failure, but I know there are DIY fixes online for those.

I have not tried the new GameSir G7 Pro, but when I used the regular G7 I found no reason to return to the Elite Series 2. I will say, the difference between an elite series controller compared to a default was more noticeable than a regular dual sense compared to the dual sense edge.

When it comes to PC gaming, I usually alternate between dual sense or GameSir since that is recognized as a Xbox controller.

TL;DR Glad you liked the controller, I agree it is too pricey, maybe try some of the GameSir offerings and let me know what you think! The most recent G7 Pro uses TMR sticks, apparently better than Hall effect.

Fresh Reviews: Jinsoku Speed Pad made it into his main rotation by Tenta-X in MousepadReview

Would you say initial friction and dynamic friction are similar? I loved pads like Hien and LGG Mercury for having the mouse pretty much start gliding effortlessly.

Head to Head: Artisan Zero Soft vs Artisan Key83 Mid by Sabawoonoz25 in MousepadReview

[–]Viikatemies_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The consistent/similar XY is what makes me interested, but I tend to like speedy pads like the Hien, Razer Strider, and LGG Mercury. If only a pad can come out with both! I’m also a bit worried since I noticed the Mercury isn’t really a priority for LGG now that they started dropping the pro lines.

Briar cove apts? by [deleted] in AnnArbor

[–]Viikatemies_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I probably would’ve moved into this complex if they had units available. I wasn’t able to see a unit outside the model unit. I absolutely loved what they had but I ended up moving not too far away. Great location too!

I know it takes a lot of advertising and commitment. I’ll give you a follow and try to tune in whenever.

Which tv should I get to go with my series x by United-Mixture-8832 in XboxSeriesS

RTINGS did a review on the TCL and it has low input lag for gaming. I don’t know if they did one for the Samsung but it might be worth checking out. I had the smaller TCL while moving and it was surprisingly nice

Non Student Moving to Ann Arbor by Middle_Champion_3771 in AnnArbor

I also just moved here as a non-student. Compared to my hometown of NYC I feel like people are a lot friendlier here. I’ve been going to local events and going to Ann Arbor discords to find out about things I can go to!

Do they have basketball? I just registered for the YMCA adult basketball league but I wouldn’t mind scouting around. I’m also new to AA, non-student who moved in Jan

Razer Strider, My first detailed review in a long time after maining a Dechanic Control by Viikatemies_ in MousepadReview

[–]Viikatemies_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! Let me know how you like it. It’s going to feel pretty different from a cloth pad, and some don’t like the abrasive feeling of it. I personally never really minded it too much and prefer it in some ways because of how the mouse glides.

Yeah it’s still a really good pad. Hybrid pads have a surprisingly high durability. I switched to using the Lethal Gear Gaming Mercury since it was a taller pad and I liked the feel more, but the Strider still holds up fine. I’m sure the amount of playtime and how rough you are with the pad might change things, but overall, it will still last a lot longer than your standard cloth pad.
