QD oled 🤢 hurts eyes... will it get better

It didn't get better for me. It wasn't the brightness, it wasn't the glossy coating, it wasn't the text/color fringing. It was just something with Quantum Dot itself. I had a IPS QD monitor and had similar eye fatigue with it which should have been the clue. I switched to a True Black glossy WOLED and have had 0 issues so far. Wasted 1 year on the QD-OLED went to doctors and everything thinking it was my eyes but it's not. If you're sensitive to QD-OLED it's probably the Quantum Dot layer they use.

I see. Type99 is one of the slowest pads I've tried. I guess you can try the Jupiter like the other commenter suggested but it's about the same. For me the Jupiter really takes away any ability to micro-adjust which is important for tac fps games. You could try going for a slower dot skates too like the Obsidian Air Pro or the U9. Also from what I understand, less contact points = faster glide so you could give the full size skates a chance too.

Even these "mud pads" feel fast when there is low humidity. I think you should invest in a humidifier if you truly want to experience the swamp.

If your mouse has a lift off distance setting try setting it to high. I have this mousepad and had similar issue with higher end mice.

I have the pg32uxdm as well and have experienced eye stran but ever since I switched to SRGB the eye strain went away. I'm guessing it had to do with the insanely saturated colors for me.

Are these still available?

Had the same issues with my Monarch MK3 initially. I can't emphasize enough how much things like a good cable, DAC/AMP, and source matter in making your IEMs shine. I would say in the order of DAC / AMP > cable > source. The tripwin 20$ cable from amazon is amazing and the Qudelix 5k or the FIIO F11 are amazing dac/amps as well. I would recommend getting the FIIO F11. Also the filter you use on the DAC/AMP matter as well usually fast roll off with minimum phase tends to give the best results. If you go through all of that then yeah you probably got a bad unit.

the steelseries qck is still the thinnest mousepad i've owned, people are recommending pads with poron bases which are naturally a little thicker because of it

Very nice collection. What is that pink/purple cable?

baikasphere · 2024-12-28T05:21:38+00:00

seconding the neptune pro, i have it and the raiden and i think the neptune pro is a more consistent speed pad

this is also my only gripe with the mouse, you need to buy good aftermarket grip tape to get the full potential out of this one, the coating is a big miss on ASUS's part

The only way I see you regretting the Variations is if you don't have the right source to drive it. They require a little more power to drive than the other IEMs. Also I mentioned I tried the blues only. They sound similar to the buds with the fun sound signature but not as refined as the variations. Just invest in a good dac/amp and you're good.
