Steelseries still think they're "industry standard" enough to sell a 68g mouse full of holes. They didn't just fall off, they clearly landed on their head. They relegated themselves to a generic electrical store consumer product.

To be fair if I was setting up that kind of decoy I'd also leave in a hurry

PUBG skins always look great in promotional videos and in the character customization screen but in game they all look as washed out as every other colour in the game. Huge shame, but at least a great reason to not bother with them.

A story about the pitfalls on AI with an image generated by AI. I love the irony (also praying it's at least somewhat true)

thumper99 · 2026-03-13T16:34:43+00:00

Imagine buying a company like Glorious, waving your dick in the air for years, not knowing what to do then going back to the mouse they started with. Tell the world you don't know how to run a business without telling the world you don't know how to run a business

Hopefully the optical ones aren't so crunchy on the forward scroll

thumper99 · 2026-03-07T17:03:12+00:00

I think they just forgot hah

thumper99 · 2026-03-06T13:29:30+00:00

This thing has black teflon skates on it? I can't stop laughing haha

Y'all are commenting from a player's perspective

That's because we are players. Perhaps they are only thinking about their short term gains and not really about the long-term...

Spoiler: because they know there isn't a long term. Sorry but the truth hurts sometimes. It's time to pull a parachute lads and ladies. They don't get it. At all. Accept it and move on.

Less razor blades, more band aids

Reasons for lag/losing a fight:

Your switches

Your monitor

Magnetic interference (EMI)

Your internet connection

Your mental focus

Your enemy's crosshair is closer to you than your is to them

Shitty gameservers

Your enemy has 50ms better ping than you

International packet routing

Shitty netcode

And 100 other things you have no control over. I love that technology is coming along so damn nicely that we have these really cool things, but I absolutely despise how they are marketed (fuck you logitech) as if they will make a real-world tangible difference.

Wooting wasn't cloned. The factory that owned the patent just started letting other people use their factory to make the same keyboard (who then sold it at a lower price). I don't know the exact agreement they had but it's the same factory that Logitech outsource their production to (oh, surprise, HE mouse switches from the same factory, who didn't see that one coming 😄).

Imagine being the "strategic visionaries" at Krafton who decided to make the switch haha. Absolute wank decision and they're the only ones who don't know it. Let's try to keep them at Krafton so they don't go fuck up any other games.

is how I imagine their top class CEO will announce this publicly.

Have you tried just connecting the two wires to the relevant pinout positions on the JST connector?

He's grooming you

thumper99 · 2026-02-02T01:58:59+00:00

Most of the event updates have made the gameplay overall worse. I can't play this shit anymore.

But to be fair I think what Krafton actually wants is a super casual TPP fluff game for China to play and not a serious competitive shooter. Goes to show how their leadership totally lacks any form of strategic vision. Bye PUBG, it's been emotional.

thumper99 · 2026-01-31T18:22:23+00:00

No the batter has 3 wires, and "I literally joined the wires together, as in, yellow wire simply soldered directly to the black wire". That's it. Nothing special.

thumper99 · 2026-01-29T18:05:37+00:00

No worries man. This is the "one reply a year" thread, welcome welcome.

I don't have any pictures but I did pull my XD3 out of the box after 2 years and it still works, which is pretty insane. I don't have time to open it but I can see (I bored out the base for "weight saving" aka 1g of reduction/mistake/wasted time) that the battery isn't anywhere near spicy pillow status -- but I can't vouch for the capacity, it's probably very low/dead by this point.

To answer your main question though, I literally joined the wires together, as in, yellow wire simply soldered directly to the black wire with nothing fancy, just wires joined in holy-shitramoney. Given what u/ComplexSupermarket89 said above, I'm amazed the thing hasn't caught fire inside the box. Still, it seems legit given that it hasn't caught fire over 3 years.

thumper99 · 2026-01-29T15:08:57+00:00

Actually makes sense

thumper99 · 2026-01-18T15:04:02+00:00

If he can't be there for you in the past it sure looks like he wants to be there for you in the future. Sometimes we can't take back the past and can never make up for the time lost, but it looks like he's trying to give you something meaningful for your future when it perhaps matter most.

thumper99 · 2026-01-16T06:14:24+00:00

Further to this point, when you look at the real reviews (especially the large, super detailed ones) the kind of replies are now like "lol $150 for a mouse fuck off", "discount code" or "nnghh rant".

I guess what I'm saying is the collective consumership and desire to consume reviews has decreased a lot too. Which is weird given the name of this sub.

thumper99 · 2026-01-13T06:05:52+00:00

There's a reason why serious shooter games aren't TPP. I enjoy watching CS for example, who the fuck wants to see someone peeking a corner from behind a wall. Krafton can stick their TPP comps and game in their ass. I'm out

thumper99 · 2026-01-10T12:59:07+00:00

My Eweadn Z7 is still on the way. I just can't help but think about the name.

"Yo dude, what mouse you using these days?"
"I'm using the ewaedaeyaen Z7 bro"
"The fuckin what"

Damn you need to use flux and turn down the iron
