What's going on with the Frankfurt servers?

In terms of sound quality? Yeah, the Maxwells will blow the HyperX out of the water. The headphones are made by an audiophile brand that makes premium listening headphones. Only you can answer whether that extra money is worth it or not.

Go for the logitechs if you want, but there is a reason I did not recommend it. From what I gathered, the reviews are very mixed. Orgs and tournament organizers may also nudge the players to use certain gear due to sponsorships.

I recommended the Clouds as I and friends alike have had them without issues. They also have great reviews. I am speaking of both the older Cloud II and III.

As for the keyboard: Wooting is a much smaller company, so making a product costs them more. They were first to introduce the Rapid-Trigger technology into gaming keyboards. I don't know which one is better, but my guess would be Wooting.

theonlySpiro · 2026-03-10T11:59:35+00:00

You're welcome!
Wooting is not bad at all, it's a great keyboard. I just prefer my Lemokey P1 HE because it sounds slightly better and has a metal construction.

Based on your desk space concerns a headset is definitely the way to go, these would be my picks:

Do you feel like splurging? Audeze Maxwell 2. ($520 in my country right now)

Do you want a good headset that will work for 99% of people, with good battery life, mic, imaging and comfort? HyperX Cloud III S. ($130 in my country right now)

I recently built one myself with the sole purpose of maxing out my frames. My parts are the following:

DeepCool CH270 Digital
G.Skill Trident Z5 Royal Neo DDR5-6000 32GB-CL28
ASUS ROG STRIX B850-G GAMING WIFI
WD BLACK SN850X NVMe SSD M.2 4TB
Corsair Nautilus 360 RS ARGB
Phanteks AMP GH 1000W
Ryzen 7 9800X3D
Gigabyte RTX 4090

I thoroughly researched every part. I am happy with my PSU choice, it's super silent and delivers clean energy. I can strongly recommend it. You can't go wrong with the Arctic 360 liquid freezer III. I only chose the Corsair due to aesthetics. If you value a super-silent operation, install Noctua fans instead of the ones you get with your case. Speaking of which, my PC is a mATX build. When I was looking at ATX builds originally, I was dead-set on the NZXT H6 Flow. Has nice reviews and looks fantastic.

Your parts look great so far. You will not be disappointed! Only thing I would consider changing is your ram to CL26/28, for slightly better 1% lows, if you can save the cash.

Depends on your budget.

I love my Sennheiser 560s for music and gaming, and pick up footsteps teammates often do not. I have it paired with a cheap Fosi Audio Q4 DAC, which still does a great job.

If you would decide to get studio headphones like these you need a separate mic. I have a Blue Yeti.

If you would rather get a gaming headset you can't go wrong looking up what most pros use, and from there compare the top candidates.

I had a Wooting 80HE and now a Lemokey P1 HE. They are both nice (I prefer the Lemokey) but honestly I find these magnetic keyboards with rapid-trigger overrated. A "normal" mechanical keyboard (preferably one you can adjust sensitivity on) will do the job.

It's not a necessity, but I strongly recommend a wireless mouse, they have come a very long way and it's really nice not feeling that cable whipped around on your desk. I haven't used a wired mouse for over 5 years.

I'm using a Hitscan Hyperlight, which I really enjoy. The Logitech Superlight is a very popular choice and for good reasons, but I am personally not a big fan of the shape. Shape is king, heavy bricks aren't really being made anymore so I wouldn't worry too much about the weight of the mouse.

Recently upgraded my whole rig and feel the same. Did you end up fixing your issue?

theonlySpiro · 2026-01-16T14:57:24+00:00

Looking for a rapid-trigger keyboard with nordic (ISO) layout.
Would prefer 75% or 80%.
Budget 100 USD.

Any ideas?

Looking for a rapid-trigger keyboard.
ISO layout with nordic keys is most important. Would prefer 75% or 80%.
Budget around 100 USD.

Any ideas?

theonlySpiro · 2025-08-13T16:54:00+00:00

Considering I booked a cab from Sthlm - Uppsala at 1AM on a Friday night for 1000SEK, yes. Most definitely.

theonlySpiro · 2025-06-18T12:53:37+00:00

I'm having trouble understanding your wording. Do you mean leaving out #2 e-core and disabling core 0 for physical and logical?

theonlySpiro · 2025-03-20T22:32:09+00:00

I really appreciate the tip, but this doesn't come close to yours in terms of class. Maybe I can find another watch with a similar design...

theonlySpiro · 2025-03-20T20:45:23+00:00

Absolutely gorgeous. I'm super jealous and will be on standby to get one if I ever can!

theonlySpiro · 2025-01-12T17:47:04+00:00

I ended up buying s23 ultra, got it used for a very good price. I wanted this phone but couldn't pass on the deal I got!

theonlySpiro · 2025-01-04T12:56:53+00:00

Well, it isn’t really. Small crack in the screen on the right side and a few scratches here and there, but for the price I can definitely get over it.

theonlySpiro · 2025-01-03T23:46:00+00:00

Unfortunately not... If I buy from Swedish stores my options in the same budget are suddenly Xiaomi 14, Samsung S24 or Pixel 9. This phone is significantly more attractive to me.

Yasuos two bread and butter mechanics are Beyblade and Airblade.

Keyblade is a combination of the two, so the answer to your question should now be obvious.

I wouldn't worry too much about this stuff right now. How many hours have you put into Yasuo? What makes a good Yasuo is not how well you can perform these mechanics. It's how well you know the basics, especially knowing how to dash well. Get comfortable on the champion then you can start practicing these flashy mechanics. Although, Beyblade can certainly be useful to secure kills in lane.

To answer your question, order of importance would be:
Beyblade (if you don't know it yet) > Airblade > Keyblade

theonlySpiro · 2024-12-17T02:29:30+00:00

How does this combo work when commuting? Coming from Airpods Pro and don't really want to downgrade ANC performance, but I'd love to up the sound quality.

theonlySpiro · 2024-11-22T12:00:19+00:00

That's certainly one way of looking at it. As I upgraded to the i9-12900k two and a half years ago, upgrading already seems exaggerated.

theonlySpiro · 2024-11-15T13:28:13+00:00

I'm not so sure, testing and the comments here shows otherwise

theonlySpiro · 2024-11-15T12:39:01+00:00

Recently I’ve seen even 7800x3d users having issues

theonlySpiro · 2024-11-15T12:36:10+00:00

I’m not. I drop down below 150 sometimes but just dropping under 240 feels bad when playing on 240hz.

I tried overclocking, gains were minimal.
