  1. sadly the kids would take the sticker(s) off and both the kids and adults I live with would honestly not check for stickers. But I do know that Razer and Corsair does have some if not the most popular mice. I do see that it charges via usb-c do you happen to know if the mouse is usable while charging or is it like most headsets that disable the device while charging?
  2. I am looking for my first mmo mouse and I really don't have a budget any more exact than as long as the price tag isn't shocking when compared to other similar mice. I like the styling of the R.A.T. mice from Mad catz but they don't seem to be selling an mmo variant mouse at the moment. I am looking for: 9+ button keypad on the side supports both wired and wireless modes (optional) forward and backward buttons I am not looking for: Mice that charge via mousepad due to space constrictions. Razer or Corsair mice due to not wanting to get my mice mixed up with my families mmo mice.
  3. Hello, I am looking for a smallish folding keyboard for use with phones/tablets/steam deck. I work in a cell phone store and I get customers that come in with their phone/tablet's screen being non-responsive so I need to use a mouse/keyboard to access ther device to transfer their data to a new device and my current setup is borrowing a cheap hp keyboard from a broken work computer and use an usb a to usb c adapter that came with my phone to access anything. I also find that I end up trying to do a lot of typing into my phone/tablet when I am at work as well, and I am not satisfied with the clunkyness of what I am currently using. I am also planning on using it with the steam deck that I have on order, because I prefere to play some games with keyboard and mouse. (yes I used keyboard and mouse with dirge of cerabus on ps2) The closest thing I can find is the iCleaver bk08 and bk06 but both appear to be micro-usb and I am unsure of their quality. My check list of what I am looking for is as follows. 1) keyboard must fold and not roll because it will be constantly in and out of either my pocket or bag, and I do not have a good track record when it comes to the rolling rubber keyboards. 2)Bluetooth and USB-C connection compatability. The rest of my kit is type C, and as I said above I need to connect via wire to various devices. 3)Some sort of back light is prefered. 4)I am not too picky on key feel. 5)A number pad is also preferred but not required 6)A trackpad or trackpoint like capability is also prefered but not required. 7)I am really not setting a budget on this beyond what one would think is resonable given a mix of quality and features in reference to compeating brands.
  4. I ended up going with the Anker Soundcore Life Q20+ and overall I really like them. sadly the anc isn't the style that will help my hearing issue outside of blocking noise in the area that I happen to be in. I give them 4.5 out of 5 after at least a couple of weeks of use.
  5. My tv has a Toslink?optical port and it is currently connected to a seldom used sound bar sound system, which has both HDMI in and out.
  6. @Psittac I was bringing up the rtx as an example of what I sometimes have to do to understand what is being said in a video by using rtx to strip some of the background stuff like storm sounds or other similar ambiance related sounds, I wasn't really talking about using it in this set up though, though if I get a small enough rig I may be able to use a capture card and use the system as a passthrough for the audio. Also, I am looking more for the method of how I can do this and less for exact hardware if that makes anysense. But sadly those Sennheiser's that you linked me doesn't seem like they would work for me since the tv doesn't have a headphone jack and it sounds like their isn't really an option to have the sound go thru the head set and the tv speakers at the same time. I better list of features that what ever system I am looking for is as follows. 1)The ability to output audio simultaneously to tv speakers and synced headset 2) The ability for the audio in be either HDMI and/or Toslink. (not sure of my wording on this one) 2)the ability to sync to a Bluetooth enabled headset (as in I would like to use the Soundcore Life Q20+ or what ever I buy from my other thread) 3) as little noticeable audio delay as possible
  7. As I have mentioned in another post I have issues processing sounds, as in my brain's noise cancelation drivers are corrupted. This has made enjoying tv very difficult especially when others are watching with me because it all sounds like some one put the audio thru a blender before getting it to my ears. I have found that listening to audio via a headset is a lot easier to make out than otherwise even if I have to run it thru an old version of rtx voice to help me make out the voices. So in short I am wondering if there is a way that I can split audio from a HDMI source like for instance a Roku or Mini NES to where it can come out both the tv/soundbar and some sort of headphones that I am wearing at the same time? Sorry if this post is a little extra wandering, I am unsure a good way to describe my issue.
  8. Thank you again @BiotechBen and I would have to agree with your sediments in regards to micro b. and thank you as well @Psittac it will probably be this weekend before I pull the trigger on anything at this time so if you get your order in fell free to give me your first impressions of the ones that you got.
  9. @BiotechBen I just noticed that there are q20+ listed on amazon for $10 more would you say the that 20+ is different enough for the extra price to make sense. I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to audio, so sorry if this seems like a silly question.
  10. I am looking for two different wireless headsets for me and my 6 year old. I have an issue where my brain does not filter out background noise well, and this makes understanding words very difficult in a lot of situations, also I have quite small ear canals that makes anything in-ear hurt a lot after 30 minutes. I am looking for the following things for my over the ear headset: 1)Bluetooth with the ability to attach to cable for when the battery dies. 2)No swivel hinges if possible though I may be okay if they are well engineered metal hinges. 3)The ability to clean up background noise from in person conversations would be nice to have but I am not sure this exists. 4) My last headset was a pair of Snoky 5.0 Bluetooth headset that has lasted me awhile. 5)My budget is preferably less than $100 USD if 3) is not on it, and the budget is quite loose when 3) is involved. 6)my use would be primarily watching videos and some gaming with mostly slower paced games like Minecraft, space engineers, and the like. For my child I am looking for the following thigs for her: 1)Bluetooth wireless 2)over or on ear 3)Quite resilient to kids being kids. 4)use with videos and learning apps like ABC mouse. 5)bonus points for it being purple and/or unicorn themed. 6)Budget for this one is sub $50 usd
  11. The computer I am wanting to do this in is an SFF Dell Optiplex 3020, it only has one full sized sata power and one mini sata power for the slim-optical drive. It is pretty cramped in there. Also I have a 3 year old that like shoving random objects in big holes in my computers, I am not aware of a 2.5 in drive caddy that fits were the slim-odd sits in this case so I can keep her from doing that.
  12. I have a Small Form factor Computer that I am wanting to put an 240 GB ssd of some sort in to speed up the operating system and some old games (Morrowind, X3, and the like). my only options are in order of most to least preferred: to use a m.2 adapter that will fit in a 1x pcie slot that is also low profile remove the slim optical drive and use a power adapter from its power to power a 2.5 sdd Replace my 500 GB HDD with a 500 GB+ SSD Also money is tight.
  13. the regular Hyper 212 replaces the stock brackets on the motherboard, so they will work just fine, the Hyper 212 LED (at least the newer ones) doesn't replace the stock brackets it uses the stock ones in their infinite wisdom. And to make matters worse they purposely redid the base of the LED model where you couldn't use their brackets if you wanted to. Yes the Hyper 212 LED mounts just fine in the AM4 socket if and only because the stock AM4 brackets haven't really changed at all since am2, but having the widest part of the cooler be designed to go over the ram perpendicularly and point up/down where last time I checked your avg case doesn't have any vents located is just bad design. And as far as drilling holes in my motherboard, I like my warranties they have saved me quite a few times just this past year alone.
  14. In order for me to have proper cooling with my tower cooler (Hyper 212LED) I need the stock cooler brackets to be to the right and left of the socket not above and below the socket, because the later will have the cooler perpendicular to the ram facing the top of the case where I don't have any vents. The reason why this is an issue is that my current case doesn't have the best cooling characteristics. The reason why I am looking for an MSI board is that I have a very small upgrade budget and am looking at getting the Athlon 200ge which is currently overclockable only on msi boards.
  15. @LukeSavenije it is not reference most Nvidia geforce 730's I know of has a lot smaller fan, and as far as spending 50-60 bucks for it the card brand new is going for ~$80-$90 and I worry about compatibility with most 3rd party solutions because of the type of card and the price point it sits at.
  16. I think the fan is going out in my graphics card and I am wondering if anyone knows of a surefire way I can order a new fan to replace what is on the card. In my case the fan and shroud are one in the same so I would imagine that the chances of finding a good replacement slim. I did check ebay but didn't see anything. Any help would be apprecated.
  17. The version I have has two ddr3 and two ddr2 slots and supports am2-am3+ cpus, And as far as the 8gb ram goes I used to have 8gb of ram but one stick died, and as you said some/most of my ram issues could have been due to bandwidth, I will give that list to the head of finances as a preferred to check on for any price drops.
  18. I have found that windows and most media sites these days does not like 8gb of memory. I fill it up with one tab open trying to view a 720p 60fps stream on twitch(any browser) So I am leery of any ram less than 16 gb. Even then I wouldn't be able to purchase the list that you gave because it is outside of my absolute max budget. Granted it is only $8.88 more than it but the head of finances gave me a number to stick to and that outside of shipping and taxes I could not exceed what so ever. Thanks for the attempt though, I will keep an eye out to see if the prices drop any at all in the coming months in hopes that I can get up to that am4 platform.
  19. My current build is a AMD Phenom 9850 black edition running at stock 2.5 ghz 6 GB of gskill ram (DDR2 3x2 gb sticks) hyper 212 led ASUS M2N68-VM motherboard MSI n730-2gd3-r Graphics card Corsair force SSD 120 gb Western Digital HHD 300 gb my budget is only $160 US before tax and shipping and that is a hard unsurpassable limit. I want to play games that came out in the last 8 years at 1080p 20 fps+. My current build is so slow now that I have issues with twitter, twitch, and youtube much less gaming. The current main bottleneck that I experience is both cpu speed and RAM speed/capacity. Parts that I am looking at upgrading too: AMD FX-8300 currently $78.98 @ outletpc ASROCK N68C-GS4 FX $0.00 (downgraded from this so I can have more ram) G.Skill F3-1600C11D-16GNT (DDR3 2x8 gb sticks) currently $79.99 newegg So would this build work together? The motherboard supports am3+ that are 95 watts and lower and the fx-8300 is 95 watts, also ASROCKs QVL list doesn't list any modules over the capacity of 4gb even though they say that board supports up to 16 gb of ddr3 memory in its 2 ddr3 slots. I am open to other (better) options but given my strict budget I am grasping at straws here.
  20. Currently $209.99 PCPartpicker link to be fair according to pcpartpicker there is a little bit over a page worth of ram of 2400MHz+ till you get to this one, most of them wasn't one the document I had at the time and this is a rgb kit as well. it is $60 more than bottom line, and Memory prices seem to have gotten a bit of a wider spread in the last couple months.
  21. The main reason why I am asking about that particular kit of corsair memory is that for some reason it seams cheaper than most other kits of 2x8 GB 2400MHz+ sticks. At least the last time I checked in stock pricing on a variety of kits a couple months ago looking at supported memory for the older x370 Gaming 7 board.
  22. I would love to hit the 5GHz line but I won't do anything crazier than custom loop water cooling to try to achieve it. I am just trying to figure out if the ram makes the system volatile at much lower overclocks then some of the more common ram kits.
  23. I don't know how much they can overclock on avg and was going off of the oc GamerNexus applied when doing this article. I am curious if anybody has had bad experiences with said kit of ram vs say Corsair Vengeance 3200 MHz ram or even any of the Gskill Titan Z models. Pretty much I don't want to spend a bunch of money on ram just to have massive stability issues when overclocking the Ryzen 7 2nd gen cpus.
  24. I am going to be ordering parts for a new computer here in the next couple days and was wondering if anyone here has tried overclocking a Ryzen 2700 or 2700x cpu with this RAM for reference the motherboard I plan on ordering is the Gigabyte - X470 Aorus Gaming 7 WIFI. The RAM at least was on the qualified memory list but it looks like they trimmed the list down since launch and have added typos as well(I am waiting for reply from Gigabyte). I am mainly concerned with stability, but would like to overclock to 4.2GHz+ once I get to a place that has central heat and air.
