I have a dualshock 4 even though I do not own or play ps4. I got it for pc use and was relatively disappointed. It works just fine as a standard controller when paired over bluetooth. I never really liked the way it responded or felt to try getting the gyroscope or touch pad functioning. Alot of games with quicktime events dont properly display the playstation prompts either. I really didnt want to shell out for an xbox one controller, so I've been using the xbox 360 controller with the official microsoft wireless adapter and it works great.

That's what I though before I started looking for the perfect keyboard for me and then realized keyboards get crazy expensive. The g915 was actually pretty nice when I saw it at micro center. I haven't used it for more than 10 minutes though. It is also the only option I know of that has a matching mouse. You might look into the havit keyboard with low profile kailh blues, which seems to have decent reviews. If the look is what you are going for you may want to look into something with a high or medium border on it. It makes the keyboard visually appear lower profile than it really is.

Isnt it pretty much the logitech g915 g815 or something containing kailh low profile switches at this point?

Anything you do to "repair" it is going to make it harder or impossible to fix down the line. Replace the screen or live with it. Yes it will chip and continue to crack over time.

I would highly reccomend not getting a gaming laptop for school. This is coming from someone who used a gaming laptop through school. If you get a laptop that is good for gaming it is not portable. If you get a portable gaming laptop it will be so loud you wont be able to use it in class. I've had a teacher stop class because windows update started running in the background and the fans on my laptop ramped up. Look into a thin and light and a thunderbolt egpu or get a cheap laptop and a desktop. Whatever you do get something with a nice keyboard.

Didnt nvidia say they were phasing out their mxm GPU's last year? I am legitimately surprised there is an rtx mxm card.

Mxm was dropped by nvidia and amd if I recall correctly. So not this generation. Even when it was a "standard" the GPU's often didnt work across different manufacturers or models and required modifications to the cooling solution to upgrade. That's if you could even find a replacement mxm module for less than the cost of the laptop.

Honestly I would leave it alone unless you are sure the paste is the problem. If you are dead set on changing the paste, ic diamond is the thickest paste I can find locally and I routinely get 12-18 months out of it on laptops and graphics cards, which is about as good as you can expect on a bare die application. It does scratch the hell out of the die when you go to remove it. You pretty much go thick and dry on the paste and it will resist pump out better or you go with a thin paste that will perform better for a much shorter period of time.

Power limit and thermal throttling are two different things. Also avoid MX-4 and nth1 on bare die applications. They were the shortest lived out of the pastes I've tested.

Maybe? Honestly the stock thermal paste really hasn't been a limiting factor for a few years. There also is not a good replacement for the factory paste. If you replace it with any major brand "high performance" paste expect to repaste every 6-12 months due to the pump out effect. You may see a couple degrees drop, but it will be short lived. You can try the graphite pads, but most laptops use a low mounting pressure, which doesnt combine well with the graphite pads. The cooling solution is often the limiting factor anyway, so 9 times out of 10 there is a very very minor difference if any. The gamers nexus and der8auer video about thermal paste is a good watch if you haven't seen it.

Seriously the snes mini and genesis mini have quite a few from those two franchises, hook up to modern televisions and run as close to original hardware as possible.

I went into more detail earlier, but it is not great. You are starting to find more illegitimate cartridges now, it is the easiest way to find something, but it is often the most expensive way to find vintage games. Have you looked into the mini consoles yet? They really are a good starting point if you just want to play.

It can vary drastically city to city. Really once this is all over start looking at thrift stores and garage sales near you as well as do craigslist searches for vintage games and find out what you find more of. For audio differences, there are drastic audio differences between revisions of the same hardware. Take the genesis for example there are multiple revisions and each revision used a different sound chip for the most part. This question needs to be narrowed down alot before anyone could answer it.

I didnt intend to be harsh or rude. Maybe I rambled too much, but I thought I had addressed your question. You are asking a subjective question about whether 8 bit or 16 bit generation games are better. Neither is better or worse. If you grew up with 8 bit it is likely your preference, if you grew up with 16 bit games you likely prefer those. If you are asking which generation is easier to collect for, it really depends on where you are and what you have available locally. If you try to collect online it can be really expensive really quick, and it takes alot of the fun away.

What are you trying to accomplish? Do you want to own a full collection for a single console? Do you just want to hunt for games? Is there something specific you are trying to find? It sounds like you aren't finding information because you are asking far too vague questions. Neither is better, quite frankly most of these older games suck or are hard to play now, it is more about nostalgia, if you dont have nostalgia for it it really isnt much fun. If you dont know what you want to collect for yet maybe watch some of the metaljesusrocks youtube videos. He has a collecting guide for almost every console out, what it does well, hardware revisions and games you should get to start.

I think you might need to look into what you are asking more. There is no "better" generation of games. You may look at your past and think about what consoles were popular when you were growing up and what consoles your friends had. Pick one of those consoles, and buy a couple of them. For instance if you decide to collect for snes you probably want to pick up 2-3 consoles. Alot of these older consoles are going to start having issues. You may need to have them recapped or repaired or do it yourself. They look horrible on modern tvs, so you are going to want to invest in a scaler, some form of hdmi or rgb modification, and/or a good quality CRT tv, or some combination of the above. Once you have functional hardware you can start going to local thrift stores, vintage game stores, and local meets and start collecting games. I wanted to add this has become a relatively popular hobby now, so expect the more popular or rare titles to be several hundred or thousands of dollars. Really the best time to collect for a system is a few years after it has fallen out of date. The ps3/wii u/xbox 360 games were really cheap up until this year and are starting to go back up in price. Here in a few months when the new consoles come out would be a good time to start collecting for the ps4 and xbox one. If you dont want to invest a small fortune into this, you might look into picking up a snes and nes mini, a genesis mini, commodore mini, atari mini etc. They have some of the more popular games on them and usually look some form of tolerable on a modern tv.

No that will not fix it. Laptop coolers do nothing except provide you a flat surface. If you are already using it on a flat surface expect no difference. What is the model of laptop and have you used a hardware monitoring software to see if anything is overheating or power limiting?

I'm sure you will get device recomendations from others. My advice would be to evaluate if a thin and light gaming laptop is really going to fit your needs. Personal experience has been they aren't acceptable in a professional environment or classroom. If windows update starts running in the back ground it is enough to kick the fans to jet engine level. You are usually power limited if you have a really strenuous task. They dont really do anything they are designed for well. They really aren't incredibly useful as a "laptop" you still need to be near a power outlet. The thin and light aspect just means it takes up less space on your desk.

What about it bothered you? Alot of the problems pointed out there are pretty common for the category of device.

Why do you want to keep it so bad? Legitimate sd cards are so cheap anymore. You can get a real 256 gb card for around 40 dollars. I have a couple of these I tried out. They will only hold around 16 gb, and will overwrite the data to an extent. When you go to access the music it's going to be a crapshoot as to what is actually on there. Some songs might work, others may show a title and be corrupted.

Look up reviews of each sub model and be weary of where you buy an msi laptop. They are not all made the same. I ended up with the bestbuy model of the gs63vr and the display borders on unusable.

Pretty much looking for something as close as possible to what I have, just from a different manufacturer, one that doesnt prompt for software install when you plug in the wireless dongle. And with better battery life, I dont really care about rgb or lighting, but it would be preferable if it could be turned off without having separate software.

I've seen that one, I kind of like the smaller mouse shape without the thumb thing. I also cannot stand having all the buttons on the side. I constantly hit them with my thumb and they never get used for anything.

Dang I left alot out. Usd.

Under 99 would be nice. The lower the better at this point. I cant return the lancehead and it is pretty much unusable for 99 percent of my use case. Around 70 would be great.
