    What's your hand size and grip style. Also, what are you primarily using the mouse for?

    The G Pro is nothing like the G703/403. 
    It's preference mostly, a lot of people use the G703/403 and have no issues with it.
     
    @AirBourne The G Pro Wireless is a bit more expensive usually, but you can find it for a bit less now that the G Pro X Superlight was released. It's much closer to the Steelseries Sensei in terms of shape and size than any of the ones you listed.

    I don't get what you're asking here so I'll just address your claims. For reference, I have used a G403 for the last 4 years now.
    No, and all the people I see complaining about double clicking are people who abuse the fuck out of their mice so it's expected they'll develop hardware problems. I've used my G403 daily for several years now and have absolutely no problems because I don't mash my buttons like an idiot.
    No, read above, same concept imo.
    No, because I turn it off. At least that is fairly simple, so I'd assume changing colour and shit is also easy.
    Assuming you mean disconnects, I have not had a single latency problem, much less a random disconnect, in the 4 years I've owned this mouse. Modern wireless tech is very, very good. You won't have problems.
    No, my G403 works great as a wired mouse when plugged in, but as we aren't living in the stone ages anymore I use it wireless all the time (except for when I charge it overnight once a week).
    Not sure what good there is to having a wired mouse. Latency is not a problem, some wireless mice even perform better than wired ones, and you have to charge it once a week at most. Really not a big deal, I'd take those disadvantages over being dragged down by a cable in a heartbeat.

    Welcome to the forum!
    The G102 is great, it's basically a cheaper G Pro Hero. No reason to upgrade unless you don't like the shape IMO.
     
     As said in this thread, a 144+Hz monitor will make a huge difference, so you should definitely go with that.
    Quite frankly, DPI means nothing, especially if we are talking about FPS gaming. For FPSs your DPI should really be in the 400-2400 range, more than that is generally bad.

    Yes.
    The GDDR version of your videocard is independent from the DDR version of your motherboard. As long as you:
    - Your motherboard has a free PCIE slot
    - Your case has the room for the videocard
    - Your PSU is adequate for the card (has the right connectors)
    you can install the videocard.

    Oswin reacted to PCGuy_5960 in Which wireless mouse should I pick ?   
    I'd recommend taking a look at the Razer Basilisk Ultimate. It costs a bit more than the Hyperspeed, but it uses optical switches, which are more durable than mechanical switches and a bit quieter too. In general though, I'd recommend any of the Logitech and Razer wireless mice, you really can't go wrong with any of them.

    Introduction
    Hey there! Welcome to ‘Chew’s keeb build log, please enjoy your stay! 😁
     
    The goal here is perfection -- assembling the best keeb that'll satisfy my Petty and Stupidly Specific Desires™ (PASSD).

    Custom TKLs are surprisingly uncommon outside of Group Buys (er, AFAIK?). I’m aware of the Phantom PCB + Tex/Filco Aluminum Case TKL custom build, but: one, that build wouldn’t pass my PASSDs, and two, I’m very uninterested in super-generic configs built from ‘there was no other option’ reasons. Keep in mind that I already have a semi-custom -- a The GMMK TKL -- and while I do love me muh keebs (#KeebWeebClub!), having a board that has the same features or that looks the same as my existing one isn’t too exciting. 🤔
     
    So!
     
    For suffering #KeebWeebs in the TKL camp, we wait... and wait... and wait... until a limited run production or a Group Buy opens up.
    AND THEN WE FLING MONEY AT THE PROBLEM AT MACH SPEED AND LAUGH MANIACALLY AND CRY ABOUT IT LATER.
     
    Mode Designs happened to be holding a Group Buy for their Eighty (Pre-Order), and while one that did interest me at first, I later came across their First Edition Eighty. Then self-control went POOF! Aaand... Wallet also went POOF!, lol.

     The stabilizer’s plastic hook-side goes into the bicc hole, and the screw hole-side goes into the smol hole. Slide the hook-side in at an angle, then push down gently-but-firmly down on the screw hole-side. Sorta like installing M.2 SSDs?

    The Mode Eighty is more than just a typing tool or some brag-worthy luxury item for me. I mean, I do enjoy typing very very much, and I admit I like to feed my materialism/pride sometimes. But getting hands-on building experience is also a valuable learning experience, and fresh, interesting discoveries give me a lotta life. 😁 It's one thing to read up on something from secondhand sources, it's another feeling entirely to actually do it in person. And fumbling around unexpected mishaps is also quite humbling, hehe.
     
    I've gushed about the Eighty in the pics above, and while I do think it is a great keeb (in my biased opinon, kek), I did find some gripes with it:
    Build Finish: Overall, the keyboard kit is a thoughtfully designed, hefty piece of work, and very sturdily built. The build quality is good. However, for $650, "good" doesn't quite meet my expectations. I expected phenomenal, and I have to admit, I am a little bit let down. Most noticeable are the small dings and machining marks on the Bottom Case/Weight. The imperfections are inconsequential to the board's performance and top-down aesthetics, but knowing that they exist eh... it's kinda disappointing. Switch Aesthetics: To me, every part of this keyboard matters. That includes parts that I don't see on a daily basis, like the Kailh BOX Black's clear top housing, which sticks out like a sore thumb from keyboard's all-black theme. Switch Weight: Ahhh... Shoot. Now that I've gotten spoiled off on the Kailh BOX Ancient Grays, the Kailh BOX Black's 60g(?) springs feel waaay too light for my fingers. 😫 Resistance! I want more resistance! Also, I want more thock. I'm thinking heavier springs might deepen the thock sound? At least, it did (or I think it did) when I replaced the BOX Blacks with the BOX Ancient Grays on my The GMMK TKL. 🤔 Braided Cable: Having a limpy length of cable wiggling around on my precious desk space kiiinda disturbs the premium-y aesthetics of the keyboard. Been eyeing some matte black cables for a while, just have to confirm some measurements. 👀  
    Sooo now there's a bunch of new stuff I wanna get, right after I've already bought new stuff. 😆
     
    ...
    I tried to write "'Chew spends in moderation" just now, but that is very not true. 
    'Chew does try to be financially responsible and only spends as much as she feels she can handle, m'kaaay.
    🍻 Drink responsibly! Spend responsibly! 
     
    And thank you very much for reading!

    Depends on your grip style and hand size. If they are all the same price, I'd get either the Viper or the G Pro though. The Model O is good, but shape wise is almost identical to the Viper which has optical switches, the dock and no holes, so I'd just go with the Viper. The Superlight isn't worth paying 2x more than the G Pro Wireless tbh, I'd only consider it if you are really serious about gaming (or if you really want the lowest weight or the white color).

    Oswin reacted to PCGuy_5960 in Mouse recommendation/advice   
    If you want to completely avoid double clicking issues, look for mice with optical switches. The Razer Viper, Deathadder v2 (and their more expensive wireless versions) and Basilisk v2 have optical switches and the newly released Roccat Burst Pro. Alternatively, you can get a Glorious Model O/D and increase the debounce delay if it ever starts double clicking. 
     
    I think the Deathadder v2 or the Basilisk v2 might be the 2 best options based on your hand size and grip preferences (Deathadder v2 is on the larger side though). The Viper is quite good for claw, but could be quite uncomfortable for palm grip. The Burst Pro is really good for claw, but maybe too small for palm. If you can try any of these mice in a store, I'd recommend doing so.

    Oswin reacted to PCGuy_5960 in Ok so G502 lightspeed wireless is a legendary mouse, and Glorious Model ) wireless is so good, which is better?   
    Better is something very subjective, these 2 mice are completely different. The G502 is a non-symmetrical and relatively big mouse with more of a focus on general usage with all the buttons and the infinite scroll wheel. The Model O is a symmetrical and low profile mouse with more of a competitive/fps focus. I'd say a closer comparison is the G Pro Wireless and the Model O Wireless.
     
    If you are talking about the wireless performance, then I'd have to go with the G502 purely because of how "battle tested" logitech wireless has been, with many esports pros using logitech wireless in big lans with 0 issues. The wireless performance of the Model O might be equally good, but we can't know for sure until more people have gotten their hands on it, same goes for QC. Logitech does get a lot of flak for double clicking, but in all honesty it's not as big of a deal as some people make it out to be and logitech's customer support is excellent and will usually provide you with a replacement quickly.
     
    Just a quick note, 1)Powerplay is kind of a waste of money and overpriced unless you really want wireless charging. 2) If you are looking for the best mouse possible and don't mind waiting a bit, the G Pro X Superlight goes on sale in December and it's definitely worth taking a look at.

    First Impressions Specs What You Get Inside the Box Shape & Weight  Sensor RGB & Buttons! Connectivity & Battery Life Software Conclusion  
    1. First Impressions
         I have owned several mice from Logitech, safe to say, this is the most expensive mouse i have ever used. The G502 is regarded to be one of the most successful gaming mouse to be produced, but the G502 Lightspeed is my first G502. At first glance the G502 lightspeed looks like any other G502, with the obvious difference of not having a cable. Unboxing the G502 to me, feels like unboxing a flagship smartphone, premium, with a feeling of "i know i spent a lot on this thing". I bought this mouse for roughly $140 US which is rather cheap considering how hard it is to get and is currently selling for $158 right now (before shipping) in my country. The G502 Lightspeed isn't officially released in Indonesia so i got mine imported from Logitech HK, which took 17 days to be delivered. To be honest i don't know exactly where this mouse sits in the "gaming mice" family, is it an FPS mouse? is it an MMO mouse?, but i'd say it can do a little bit of everything, even for productivity. 
     
     
    2. Specs
     
     
    3. What You Get Inside the Box
    G502 Lightspeed Lightpspeed  wireless receiver Receiver extension adapter Charging/data cable Accessory box 4x 2g Weights 2x 4g Weights  
    4. Shape & Weight
        The G502 Lightspeed feels just like any other G502 but without having a cable to drag around. My hand is 18 cm (L) and 10 cm (W) i use claw/fingertip grip for when i am gaming and palm whenever i am not gaming. This mouse is better suited for people with bigger hands and of course right handed users, though if you have smaller hands you can still palm it (though there are better options than this). My thumb rest nicely at the rather small thumb rest and my pinky barely touches the mousepad whenever i decide to palm it. I would also recommend always using the 1-2-2 (1 finger on the left-2 at the top-2 at the right) grip, a 1-3-1 grip just feels odd to me since the right side of the mouse is rather big and i never felt comfortable lifting it considering how heavy it is.
         The G502 Lightspeed is a heavy mouse, but Logitech had done a good job to keep it lighter than its wired counterpart using techniques that they used in the G Pro Wireless. This mouse weighs about 114 grams (which is 7 grams lighter than the wired version). i would advise against using the weights, mainly because i play FPS and would like to keep the mouse lighter, but i understand some will add them because they like a bit more weight in the mouse.
     
     
    5. Sensor
        The G502, uses the HERO sensor, the latest and greatest from Logitech. For the most part i use this mouse to play cs:go, and never had any problems with it. I mainly play as an AWPer (to those who dont play cs, its a sniper role) and it tracks every flick with great precision and is always consistent and it never spins out, safe to say it has 0 mouse acceleration (which is what i'd expect from a top sensor). I mainly play at 800 DPI and never change it. Lift of distance is also not an issue, as it is under a dvd. The surprising thing that i found out that this mouse also tracks on glass, though i'd rather not use it on a glass surface. 
     
     
    6. RGB & Buttons!
         The Mouse has 2, and only 2 lighting zones, nothing spectacular but it gets the job done. I personally set it to 15% brightness and leave only the logo to be illuminated to have the nice blend of still having rgb and good battery life.
         The G502 has a total of 11 programmable buttons, the sniper button is a bit too far ahead and for the most part i don't use it, changing DPI mid game isn't something it should do, thats the job of the buttons beside the left click, so i assigned it to do something else (its the only button i assigned to do a different thing other than what it was intended to do). the infinite scroll wheel is nice (especially when you need to scroll through a long document/website) , while also having the ability to scroll from left to right. I have heard multiple stories from people having double clicking issues on newer Logitech mice, though it is currently non existent on my G502, only happened to me once on a 4 year old secondhand G602 that i bought from a friend.
     
     
    7. Connectivity & Battery Life
        The G502 uses the Logitech Lightspeed technology, its basically indistinguishable from wired mice, and yes, its that good and there's not much to say about it. If for some reason you still like it wired then you can still use the included cable (though that defeats the purpose of the actual product, you might as well get the wired version for way cheaper). 
        The battery on this mouse is good, but not great. I use it for 8-10 hours a day daily and have to charge it once every 2 weeks. The mouse charges really fast using a USB 2.0 connection, haven't tested how long it exactly took to charge but it goes from 10-100% in an hour or less. You can still game while charging, though keep in mind that cable drag is now present.
     
     
    8. Software
        The G502 Lightspeed uses the Ghub software, and it sucks, it's probably the worst part about this product. I have had to reinstall the software 3 times over the last couple of months due to it being stuck on the loading page, or not recognizing my mouse at all. The good thing is that this mouse does have on board memory, so you can just save it on the mouse and uninstall the software. On the bright side, the software does look promising but it needs a lot of love to be completely polished.
     
     
    9. Conclusion
        In conclusion, to me the G502 Lightspeed is just another G502, nothing groundbreaking. Would i recommend it for competitive FPS? absolutely not, there are a lot of better and cheaper options out there (like say the G305, the Glorious Model D, etc.). But would i recommend it for someone who likes a heavy mouse and likes to game casually? yes, 100% it ticks all the boxes to be a great heavy mouse without actually being a brick. and it is still a gaming mouse with great specs. To close things off the mouse has a top of the line sensor, good battery life, RGB, wireless, infinite scroll wheel, buttons! lots of them, and a shape that has been liked by so many.
         Overall i would rate this mouse an 8/10.

    Oswin reacted to PCGuy_5960 in Pixart 3389 VS Pixart 3988   
    The 3389 is the best sensor pixart makes, so it is obviously better than the 3988 which is more of a midrange sensor AFAIK. That said, most sensors nowadays are really good, so I doubt you would be able to notice the difference, things like shape/weight/click latency are far more important than sensors nowadays.

    Oswin reacted to Mateyyy in High quality, full size keyboard with MX brown or similar switches.   
    If you're just looking for a prebuilt, Ducky's Shine 7 Gunmetal seems to tick all your boxes. It does feature volume control and a calculator key, but you could reprogram them to whatever you want or just ignore them.
     
    I've been personally using one for a few months now, also with MX Browns. In fact, I've got a review of it up on the forum:
    Overall, my opinion of it hasn't changed a whole lot, though I will mention something regarding the stabilisers.
    Out of the box, the backspace key sounded horrible and the spacebar was quite loud (even more so with the stylised ABS one). Following this video though I did manage to get them to sound a tad better, albeit still not particularly great. A friend of mine also has a similar "problem" with the spacebar, but not the backspace, so there could very well just be something isolated to my particular unit.
     
    Also, I think saying I don't really like the switches wouldn't really hold much value, since it's a matter of personal preference and you've mentioned that you do like them, but keep in mind that if you're looking for something more tactile, there are definitely much superior options (Zealios v2 for example are, from what I've seen, quite popular and very well regarded).
     
    Going with something like a hotswap GMMK would allow you to pick any switches under the sun (and swap them out for something else whenever, since it's a hotswap board), then you throw your own preferred keycaps of choice and you're done. Just something to consider.

    A mouse specifically for osu!
     
    Extremely light, ambidextrous of course, and with a shape that in theory will be more comfortable considering how I grip the mouse than the "humpback" shape of my G203 Prodigy.
     
    Something I didn't need, but really wanted.
     
    Update:
    I finally got the drivers to work and I'm a very happy camper. It's so light, it's much more comfortable because my grip was hitting against my old G203's humpback, and it feels quite precise.
     
    I want to thank @Oswin for helping me choose it.

    I personally would prefer to stick with the air cooler as it is a pretty decent option, considering the price. it can cool an overclocked 10980xe if you so need (albeit a bit hot), here is how it stacks up compared to other coolers:

    pretty sure there's a cutout at the back of the motherboard, you should be able to install it without removing the motherboard.
