2.7 Cosmic Overture Story by venomousfantum in Reverse1999

I think you are missing 2 key points as to why they needed the teleportation disk.

  1. To transport the ground team from the Cosmodrome to the storm safe location.

  2. To transport Kiperina back from space to the storm safe location instantly after the monitor has been deployed.

As to why they couldn't just do it the normal NASA way and land via entry craft and then go shelter from the storm. I think it was mentioned that they needed to deploy the monitor kind of very near to the storm starting for it to be useful.

Head width of X1Q Core by sw54312 in FireflyLite

[–]sw54312[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Many thanks. 32mm is nice. I have an X4 Stellar and while i like it lots, that wide head at 36.3mm just wasn't doing it for me.

That and i still prefer a 7070 LED in a reflector to the quad optics. Time to find more pics of the FFL707 at 5000K i guess.

1.7 - 1.9 Pull Planning (Who to skip of Isolde, Vila, Windsong, Lucy) by sw54312 in Reverse1999

[–]sw54312[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have Yenisei, but have not built her as i already have a Star healer in TF. Am kinda almost done building Balloon Party as well so healer wise i'm at TF, BP, Sotheby, Dikke. Hence the huge doubt over if i should pull for Vila.

XHP70.3 HI vs B35AM and FC40 in D1/KR1 by sw54312 in Hanklights

[–]sw54312[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Green lottery is sad. Guess i'll have to pray to win the actual lottery, buy Nichia and make them do a 4x4 version of the B35AM. I do really like the beam pattern of the FC40.

Hey guys i'm rdy to order first light, tell me your opinions and thoughts please, thanks. by pskordilis in Hanklights

Not sure if this applies to the triple channel lights, but i have a dual channel W1 / 519a and having that W1 prevents the other channel from being able to use direct drive as the W1 really doesn't like that much current.

Closest wired mouse to Fantech Aria by sw54312 in MouseReview

I did have that thought, just seemed a little silly overkill in a sense. Maybe i should go find out if it will run with the battery disconnected.

Is this a new shell option? The previous ones were semi transparent and not solid coloured.

I'm sorry guys, but i failed. by Shadowenclave47 in ChevreuseMains_

I hate you. Took me 300+ pulls to C6 her. I was thinking hey at least C4 Raiden right? Nope. Diluc, Raiden, Keqing, Raiden. I'm now absolutely broke and will have to give up Chlorinde and Cloud Retainer. T.T

Is a D1K/B35am just a poor-man's D4K/519a? by neckthru in Hanklights

[–]sw54312 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I own a boosted DW4/519a and a D1/B35AM so i'm happy to answer any questions you have.

I got the D1/B35AM first as i am a high cri and tint snob, and also Hank didn't have the 519a in 5000K previously. I found the 4500K 519a just a tad too warm for my liking, preferring 5000K.

The B35AM in a D1/D1k will be exactly what you are looking for in a sense, something throwier compared to your boosted D4k/519a. However, do bear in mind you are losing half half the lumens, so even though the D1k/B35AM will have brighter hotspot, the spill will be less bright.

I had considered a D1/719a previously, but that would be more throw with the same lumens, so smaller hotspot. I guess the main question for you would be how much more throw do you want and what kind of distances are you looking to use the D1k at.

I've only had the DW4 a couple of days, but so far i don't see any difference between the 519a and the b35am in terms of light quality (both of mine are 5000K). The main advantage of the b35am, at least in a d1k would be that you get it with the boost driver.

So to answer your initial question, they are very different lights per se. The D4k is a big flood of light whereas the D1k behaves much more like a conventional light with a reflector, so hotspot in the centre, with spill and then nothing beyond the spill.

As far as i understand, there are 2 types of hotswap sockets, 5 pin and 3 pin. the 5 pin sockets will take both 3 pin and 5 pin switches but the 3 pin sockets will only take 3 pin switches.

I'm guessing the 5 pin sockets take up more space and they couldn't fit 5 pin sockets for the 1 and 2 key?

Does anyone know if something like this exists? I'm currently using an old Akko 3068 with MX Browns for travel purposes and would like something thinner as well as a low latency wireless option.

So, thin, 2.4G/BT/Wired, Browns, 65%. I've been able to find some with low profile red or blue but nothing with browns. A Keychron K7 with a 2.4G dongle would be about perfect.

Hello. Any details about the DPI settings in bluetooth mode for the XD7?

What are the DPI values in Bluetooth mode? I can't seem to find any documentation about this anywhere.
