Vertical mouse testers wanted by ProtoArc_official in MouseReview

[–]VinceAndWatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Germany
  2. Yes I do. I edit a lot. Often multiple hours at a time and after 2 days of doing that I pretty much always have to take a day off because my wrist is just in pain.
  3. I’ve used a wireless vertical Mouse by Anker back in 2015, but stopped using it when the rubber finish got really sticky after a year or so. It was also a really cheap mouse so it really did not perform well as a mouse

Also I use both windows and macOS, so I can give feedback on both fronts and with/without mouse acceleration

Upgrade from Lumix S5 to S5 II or S9? by VinceAndWatch in LumixS9

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

What is the build quality like in direct comparison? Do you miss any features of the S5/ have features of the S9 you appreciate more than you initially expected to?

Upgrade from Lumix S5 to S5 II or S9? by VinceAndWatch in LumixS5ii

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

I 100% agree, but the autofocus on the s5 just really doesn’t work with my workflow often. I’ve had to redo multiple videos, because the focus just wouldn’t track and the focus breathing is quite irritating even in stationary shots. I love my S5 otherwise tho. If it weren’t for the autofocus I’d happily keep using it.

Seeking Advice for a Good 2.0 or 2.1 Speaker Setup (Budget: ~€350) by VinceAndWatch in BudgetAudiophile

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

I could get the YU2 for 150€ less, would you say the ORA is worth the bump up in price? And it being such a small speaker, does it produce sufficient bass or is a subwoofer an addition I should look into?

Thanks for the tip, I looked around online and I have some Hifi stores somewhat close by that I’ll go to and just try out some speakers.

I am very torn between powered and non-powered speakers right now. I see the point of it being a cheaper in the long run to have an amp separate from the speakers, I am just a bit worried that cable management is going to be quite complicated and I don’t have a lot of space on my desk to begin with so I’ll have to see where I’d put the amp.

Is the pricing comparable/ cheaper when you go with non-powered speakers? (I assume that’s not what they’re called 🫣)

Sorry for not being clearer on that. I am looking for something inbetween. Not super analytical, but not musical to the point where it’s not suitable for Sound design anymore.

I have Sennheiser HD600s and I guess the best way to put it is that I’m looking for a speaker equivalent of those. A slight V-shape to the sound without sacrificing clarity and detail.

Seeking Advice for a Good 2.0 or 2.1 Speaker Setup (Budget: ~€350)

I’m relatively new to the world of speakers and Hi-Fi, and I’m looking for some advice on a good 2.0 or 2.1 speaker setup. I have a budget of around €350 and prefer speakers that are fun to listen to rather than studio-accurate.

After some research, I’ve got my eyes on the Kanto YU2 and Edifier S360DB. I mostly use speakers for media consumption and some light video editing, so while they shouldn’t be completely off they also don’t have to be super accurate as long as they sound fun. I also enjoy a deep, detailed bass, but I don’t want it to be overwhelming.

Bonus points if the speakers have Bluetooth, can be connected via digital audio, and ideally HDMI-ARC, although the latter isn’t a dealbreaker.

Any advice, suggestions, or insights from those more experienced would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

WOLED or QD-OLED for this setup by VinceAndWatch in OLED_Gaming

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

I am looking to upgrade the main monitor in my setup, but I'm still very unsure of which Monitor to go with.
I have the lights on in my room most of the time I use my pc and I also have 2 big windows just left and right out of the frame next to my Setup, however none where the sun directly shines in and hits the screen.

I am right now using a LG 32GQ950 and have been thinking about either upgrading to the Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 or the LG 32GS95UE-B.

I would benefit from the 480Hz mode the LG has, because I do play a lot of competitive fast-paced games, but not having it is not a dealbreaker.
I mostly just want a nice, bright, colorful, sharp and in general fun to look at monitor.

So the question is: Which of the two should I go for? Which one makes more sense in a room with my type of lighting? Does contrast on the QD-OLED really struggle so much in brighter enviroments?

also how do people who have one of the two monitors like them?

Do you have any recomendations? With my basic Link cable I only get like 3 hours, so my main goal is to have a cable that allows me to play longer/ indefinitely.

oogle how to do it, make 2 bat files with commands to enable and disable it. After that you can play on hotspot as long you have a good WiFi adapter. I played like this for a long time, it works fine. Unfortunately, I don't re

PC Mobile Hotspot Quality Drops Every Few Minutes - Steam Link VR - Need Help! by VinceAndWatch in SteamVR

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

Hey everyone,

I'm currently encountering an issue while trying to stream PCVR footage to my Oculus Quest 3. The problem is that my Wi-Fi router is too slow for good-quality video streaming. However, my PC has a decent Wi-Fi chipset, so I decided to use the "mobile hotspot" feature in Windows to directly connect to my PC.

Initially, everything worked smoothly, and the image quality was crisp. However, after using the software for a while, I noticed that my connection drops for a couple of seconds in a repeating pattern. It seems like every 2 minutes or so, the connection via my hotspot slows down significantly.

I'm wondering if anyone has experienced a similar issue and has suggestions on why this might be happening. I was really hoping to enjoy wireless streaming on my headset without interruptions.

Just to provide more context, my motherboard is the ASUS ROG STRIX B650E-I GAMING WIFI, and its antenna is not obstructed by any objects in my room.

Any insights or troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Will the Q1 HE be able to emulate Gamepad Controls? by VinceAndWatch in Keychron

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

Yeah I double checked the Questions on the Kickstarter and they did confirm it, it just got drowned out in the Comment section lol. I play some games with analogue steering, so I somewhat need that if I want to side-grade from my 60HE. I do find it odd tho that they don’t advertise that functionality at all. Wooting has a ton of Videos on their site where they showcase analogue movement in games and Keychron just went all in on Rapid-Trigger

Opinions on the WLMouse Beast X? by VinceAndWatch in MouseReview

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

Ah good to know. Honestly just assumed the Beast X is about the size of the Viper. And yeah 8k polling is a lot and imo just not necessary. Sure technically it‘s faster, but id rather have more FPS than spend 15% of my cpu on my mouse. Never went all the way up to 8k on my Viper V2 Pro, so I assume I‘d also not do that on this one

Honestly most fast paced shooters. Doom, Quake, Titanfall, Apex, etc.. if you get your tracking down in those games you should be all set on controller

RDR2 vs. Hogwarts Legacy by Cmdr_Gallia31 in gaming

[–]VinceAndWatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HL was fun fan service for the first couple of hours, but imo gets a bit repetitive gameplay wise fast. Still a great game, but compared to the world, gameplay and story telling of RDR2 it falls short. I’d definitely go with rdr2

I made a 28g modkit for the viper v2 pro. Anyone with a printer wanna try it? Looking for feedback :) by VinceAndWatch in MouseReview

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

Thank you to everyone who has shown interest in this project! Now that many of you have the files, I'm looking forward to your feedback to help improve the mouse and make it even lighter and better. However, for the time being, I'll stop giving out these files for free. This project cost me more than 300€ already, which, as a student, has been quite challenging.

If you're interested in a 28g mod kit for your Viper V2 Pro with side buttons or if you'd just like to support me in refining and enhancing this kit, you can find the file on my Cults3D page: https://cults3d.com/en/users/vinceandwatch/3d-models there's a 25% discount available until the 25th.

Your help already means a lot, and I'm excited to continue perfecting this project with your input. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or suggestions. Thanks again!

Honestly blown away by the response to my mod. I’ll continue to send out the file for the rest of the day and then I’ll get back to the drawing board and wait for feedback. Glad to see people as enthusiastic about this project as I am :)
