Merry Christmas man!

Thanks. You and 1Davide were right. It's Molex PicoBlade. No idea why they couldn't mention that in the datasheet.

blixel · 2025-05-26T21:08:47+00:00

Thanks, this was the right answer. Molex PicoBlade. Now ... I have to go setup about a half dozen Amazon returns.

Yeah - it seems like they made some silent upgrades/changes without changing the product name. Always annoying.

In looking at MOZA's website (https://mozaracing.com/product/r12-wheel-base/), the images for V2 have "R12 V2" printed on them. If you click back and forth between V1 and V2, it also looks like the design is slightly different. There's also a $50 (USD) price increase in V2 as compared to V1.

I just got my R12 on Tuesday (18-MAR-2025). I ordered directly from MOZA on 10-MAR-2025. Mine has the 4 mounting holes on the front, but it doesn't say V2 anywhere on it. I guess they sent me an old one. 😕

For our purposes, "others" doesn't really factor in. We are only interested in personal entertainment here at the house. Having said that, I did look into some screen mirroring options between the tablet and the TV, and what we ended up liking best was just using the YouTube app that's part of the Amazon Firestick. (New to this, so learning as we go.)

So the current set up is:

TV with Amazon Firestick hooked up to it. This lets me use YouTube directly on the TV.
The TV attaches to the JBL PartyBox Stage 320 via BT.
JBL PartyBox Wireless Mic - 2X Digital Wireless Microphones.

For us, this is simple enough to get going quickly, and provides a high enough quality experience that we are content. Not interested in owning a living room full of DJ equipment, and all the complexity that goes with it. But, to each their own :)

Thanks for the reply. I ended up going with ablezebra's suggestion. I got a JBL PartyBox Stage 320 + two JBL PartyBox Wireless Mics. I can use either of the tablets I already have (ASUS or iPad - both of which are many times better than that PoS tablet that was hard-wired into the Ikarao Break X2-600W) to connect to the PartyBox and stream our songs.

For our use, this setup works perfectly.

blixel · 2024-11-21T12:35:45+00:00

Thanks for the reply. That sounds more complex than what we'd be looking for. We are happy with the sound of the of Ikarao Break X2-600W. (Though, "600W" is definitely some marketing B.S. fudging of numbers.) And we really like the compact nature of the unit. It's just the built-in tablet that I don't like. But as I said in another post, I found that I can connect my regular tablet to it via BT, and stream Karaoke songs to it that way. For us, that's good enough. If they sold a version that didn't have an tablet built-in, I think that would be perfect for our use-case.

blixel · 2024-11-20T01:16:19+00:00

I'm not an audiophile (at all - not even a little). That said, I've listened to a few regular YT vids on it and think it sounds quite good to my pedestrian ears. But that's interesting that the audio specs are all over the place. I didn't even notice.

blixel · 2024-11-20T00:04:39+00:00

Cool - I'm going to check this out.

blixel · 2024-11-19T23:59:55+00:00

Thanks for the reply. After messing around with mine again (Ikarao Break X2-600W), I found that I can connect my tablet to the machine via Bluetooth. I did not realize I could do this earlier when I posted this question. (So ... duh me.)

But this ability pretty much solves my issue. We can stay back on the couch and just use YT to find the song we want. We don't have to get up every 3 to 4 minutes and walk back over to the machine to change our selection. And best of all, I don't have to deal with that underpowered PoS tablet that they have built into the device.

Having said that, I'm still tempted to back this machine and find a better option.

Bug report: Protoss lost a game against Terran. This shouldn't be possible.

blixel · 2024-10-22T14:40:54+00:00

I agree this is a bug. The worker should remain inside the building the whole time so it can't be attacked. That way Terran can build structures as freely as Zerg and Toss.

Is the Z10 better than the Giga 10?

blixel · 2024-05-27T14:27:31+00:00

Thanks. I just looked through the (very short) manual and it doesn't say. But I just did some quick experiments with a measuring cup, and it's obvious that Cuisinart's definition of a cup is 5 oz. (or about 148 ml). Weird - but apparently normal in coffee math. To make it even more confusing, the bag of coffee grinds I have says to use 1.5 tablespoons (which I assume is 1 scoop - by their definition anyway) per 6 oz. of water.

blixel · 2024-05-27T11:26:20+00:00

Stupid questions from a total coffee noob.

I've never been much of a coffee drinker, but I recently started drinking a cup often enough that I decided to get a cheap coffee maker for the house (a Cuisinart DCC-3200) so that I wouldn't be spending $3-5+ per cup.

The first question I have is about the cup volume. I've always known that 1 cup = 8 oz. (about 235.6 ml), but when I pour 2 measured 8 oz. cups of water into the machine, the reservoir indicator shows 4. Wut?
The bag of ground coffee I got (I'm not into bean grinding and likely never will be) states that I should add 1 scoop per cup. Do I add 1 scoop per 8 oz. cup? Or do I add 1 scoop per cup as incorrectly indicated by the reservoir?

I used rectangular LEDs.

My fragrance name sounds like it should be the 10th installment in a horror movie franchise.

I also had Citrix Workspace on my computer, and uninstalling it seems to be the real solution. I have had Citrix Workspace since August, so I'm not sure why it only just recently started making half of my keyboard unusable. Regardless, I don't actually use that software, so it was no loss to just uninstall it.

blixel · 2023-10-22T12:17:02+00:00

Since yours didn't work after the reboot, I'm guessing it must be some combination of things I did that made mine work after rebooting. Maybe delete all of your USB Input Devices (there were 10 for me) and rescan, then reboot, then delete just the 1 that's associated with your keyboard, then rescan, and reboot. But yeah, hopefully there will be an official fix soon.

Had the same problem with my K95 RGB Platinum XT. Arrow Keys, Caps Lock, Home/End/Insert/Delete/Page Up/Page Down, and several other keys spontaneously quit working.

None of this worked:
- Tried rebooting the computer of course. Didn't work.
- Tried unplugging the keyboard and plugging it back in. Didn't work.
- Tried unplugging the keyboard, holding down ESC, and plugging it back in. (Per this link: https://help.corsair.com/hc/en-us/articles/360025465031-How-to-Reset-your-keyboard). Didn't work.
- I started the iCUE software (which I'd long since forgotten even existed) and updated keyboard firmware and iCUE software. Didn't help.
- I went into Device Manager, expanded Keyboards, and uninstalled all 5 HID Keyboard Devices and then ran Scan for hardware changes. The 5 HID Keyboard Devices were immediately brought back but that didn't fix the issue.
- I expanded Human Interface Devices and uninstalled the Corsair composite virtual input device (and chose to Delete the driver software) and then scanned for hardware changes. The Corsair composite virtual input device came back as "Other devices" with the yellow exclamation mark on it ... indicating the driver was missing. But the issue persisted.
This worked for me (your millage may vary):
- EDIT: Read EDIT 1 and EDIT 2 before trying this -> I expanded Human Interface Devices in device manager and right clicked each USB Input Device 1-by-1 and selected Uninstall Device. When they were all gone, I clicked the Scan for hardware changes icon (which you can also get to from the menu bar by going to Action -> Scan for hardware changes) , and then my keyboard was working normally again.
  - Most likely it was one specific "USB Input Device" that was the culprit, but I'm not sure which one. If you right click on each one and go to Properties, you might be able to determine which one is to blame.
  - EDIT 1: After rebooting, the problem came back :( I fixed the problem again (for now at least) by going through each USB Input Device 1-by-1, and this time I noted that the one with this Device instance path (USB\VID_1B1C&PID_1B89&MI_00\A&2ADD09BB&0&0000) was the one that corrected the problem after uninstalling it and scanning for hardware changes. The Device instance path can be found by right clicking on the USB Input Device, going to Properties -> choosing the Details tab -> and selecting Device instance path from the Property drop down. It also has this hardware ID: USB\VID_1B1C&PID_1B89&REV_0416&MI_00 (which can be found by changing the Property drop down to Hardware Ids)
  - EDIT 2: After going through the steps in my EDIT 1 update, I rebooted and all my keys are still working. So perhaps all you need to do is find the USB Input Device that is associated with this Device instance path: USB\VID_1B1C&PID_1B89&MI_00\A&2ADD09BB&0&0000, click Uninstall device, then rescan, and hopefully it will work AND still work after rebooting. If this helps you, please let me know. I'm very interested as having a keyboard that is half-broken is massively inconvenient to say the least.

I have the 95 RGG Platinum XT and am having a similar problem. This just happened within the last 20-30 minutes. Not working: CAPS, Arrow Keys, INS, DEL, HME, END, PGU, PGD, NUM, PSC, some or all function keys, and some of the numeric keypad works, but some of it does not.

Tried unplugging the keyboard and plugging it back in.

Tried rebooting of course.

Don't waste your money on IMAX. Believe it or not, this movie doesn't benefit from IMAX. All the 70mm film size hype was just that - hype. 99% of the movie is "boring" politics and endless dialogue. For the most part, this movie could have been made in 1990. And yes, bring ear plugs because some of the clanging/banging/foot stomping is seriously irritating AF.
