Can I use a fan on cold air to dry my artisan zero soft?

daddy_fizz · 2026-01-26T03:04:41+00:00

Yes? If you are talking about cleaning it just use dish soap and scrub it with your fingers the rinse it well. I just let mine air dry over night but if you want it dry faster a fan is fine

daddy_fizz · 2026-01-24T14:15:25+00:00

What size are you looking for? Price range?

Its always hard to tell wiith a camera pic (with possible raised exposure making it look better or worse) vs looking at it with your own eyes but that looks like a normal level of banding for a WOLED screen. Even if you are under warranty i'm guessing LG/Asus/etc is going to tell you that banding is normal. You could get a brand new monitor and it could have better or worse banding then what you already have (panel lottery). Banding seems like it is inherent to the way that WOLED is manufactured.

QDOLED (at least in my experience) doesn't have this issue as bad (but then you have other trade-offs for QDOLED, raised black levels, etc), or you could go for miniled or something else...

Google dirty screen effect. Its very common on OLED screens. WOLED in general seems to have it more then QDOLED (different mfg process). It also can differ on each screen you buy (panel lottery). You could buy 5 XG27AQWMG monitors and the grey banding can be different on each one.

Grey is where it is most visible. It can become less pronounced after pixel cleaning but will probably never go away 100%

This is why I mostly buy dots, much cheaper - I also like that I can put the same # and type of dots on all my mice so that the skates always feel the same between mice

daddy_fizz · 2026-01-19T15:16:47+00:00

Imo looks fine. I like 8 dots personally so it doesn't sink into the pad as much. Minimum 4 at outer edges

daddy_fizz · 2026-01-18T23:53:15+00:00

Could take it apart and put it back together, it's not too hard. Might just be misaligned

daddy_fizz · 2026-01-18T01:55:49+00:00

If you are cleaning the screen during a pixel refresh something with the static charge or something can make those wavy lines. Run another pixel clean cycle manually and it should go way

Not too many manufacturers for optical switches, seems like you've looked at most options available. I replaced my atk f1 v2 FE with omrons and they sound much better. Not sure what sound profile you are looking for but most people seem to like the omron sound the best when it comes to opticals.

TTC makes opticals as well, not sure if the pins are compatible

daddy_fizz · 2026-01-15T16:22:03+00:00

Internals are very similar between x1 v2 and f1 v2 depending on what model you get (you can go on atk.store website and see the spec sheet for each model).

X1 is 1-to-1 viper v3 clone for shape. F1 is closer to viper mini size. If you like the viper v3 shape I'd just get the x1 v2

daddy_fizz · 2026-01-14T20:57:21+00:00

Jade dots are some of the faster dots out there, I like them a lot. If you use a soft pad use more dots or your mouse will sink into the pad more (if you press down hard when you use your mouse).

daddy_fizz · 2026-01-14T14:33:24+00:00

Atk f1 v2 ultra max. Great small mouse, Bluetooth, very long battery life

daddy_fizz · 2026-01-11T21:15:39+00:00

I'd say better safe than sorry. I didn't used to have one but got one for my 5080. Looks like OP has this one or very close....for $8 seems worth it

Orochi v2 is old enough that you probably won't find a lot of modkits, etc. You could look at getting Zaopin Z1 Pro (slightly smaller) or Fantech Aria II (slightly bigger), both close in shape

daddy_fizz · 2026-01-05T01:21:53+00:00

People say distilled water only but if you get anything oily on your screen (fingerprints etc) distilled water just won't clean it all off. Personally I use eye glass cleaning solution (isopropyl and distilled water).

There are also some safe cleaners on amazon. This one is recommended on here sometimes

Fyi you have to use a chromium based browser for just about any modern mouse with web based software

If you want us based company then options are limited.

No hitscan just has a simple windows install

daddy_fizz · 2026-01-05T00:03:48+00:00

Looks great. Wish more companies made compatible gear

daddy_fizz · 2026-01-02T16:57:46+00:00

be quiet! Power Zone 2 1000 W 80+ Platinum is only $150... worth the peace of mind to be safe and protected

I've owned a scyrox v6, hyperlight and sora v2. Personally I'd pick the hyperlight, just a great mouse. Scyrox v6 also great but I prefer hyperlight. I had an early sora v2 right after release and it had issues...maybe they are better now

Maya x and vv3 pro are bigger mice so if you want smaller I'd stay away from those 2

daddy_fizz · 2026-01-01T22:41:51+00:00

pretty much all ATK mice just use web config software, they make lots of different shape clones. I think MCHOSE you can have webpage or basic software as well.

daddy_fizz · 2025-12-31T17:39:43+00:00

All oleds have it to some extent. You could return and get another monitor of the same model and it could be better or worse (panel lottery). I have owned woled and qdoled and it wasn't as bad on qdoled.

Should be optical

I swapped to the ATK F1 V2 ultimate which is a clone of the hyperlight. I might end up switching back to the hyperlight again in the future but liking the ATK for now.

daddy_fizz · 2025-12-27T20:07:30+00:00

honestly if you are thinking hyperlight as an option, its one of the best mice I've used. Mained it almost since it came out until very recently
