Looking For a Replacement For a Razer Naga Pro Wireless
cichington replied to cichington's topic in Peripherals
I ended up going with the G604. I've been using it for about a month and I love it! I thought I'd miss the extra bells and whistle like RGB, swappable side panel, etc., but honestly for the money this is the best mouse in this category. Plus the classic infinite Logitech scroll wheel is always a good time. The software can require some "patience" sometimes but overall it's fine. Thanks for the recommendation!! -
I purchased a Razer Naga Pro Wireless during black Friday in November 2021, and have had nothing but problems with it. I was met with an unfortunate stuttering issue that many others have faced due to 2.4 Ghz interference with the dongle. I have tried to use the mouse in bluetooth but the poor polling rate is not up to my standards, and have have tried all possible fixes for it. I am still within the return window (one upside to Amazon) and am looking into other options. I would prefer to have one with 5-6 side mouse buttons but it seems Razer is really the only mouse brand that has these sorts of wireless mice. After some research, I think i've decided to go with the Corsair M65 Ultra Wireless even though it only has 3 side mouse buttons. What are your thoughts on this choice and are there any other mice you'd recommend as an alternative? Any information or insight would be great!

charger Volta Style Cable Compatibility with Razer Naga Pro

Received my Volta Cable today and I can confirm that it does NOT fit the Razer Naga Pro. It appears the only Micro-USB cable that will fit is the one that is included in the box. -
My first build in a long time, your thoughts?
cichington replied to mittelmania's topic in New Builds and Planning
I'd suggest upgrading the SSD to a PCIE Gen 4 drive to take advantage of the faster speeds. For an extra $10 over the Samsung 970 EVO Pro you can get a Sabrent Rocket 4 which has great reviews! -
One can dream..... But in all seriousness I think we are going to be seeing shortages until late 2022-early 2023 at the earliest. It will not be an immediate thing that is resolved overnight, it's going to be a long process but here's to hoping it is sooner rather than later.

3060 TI's are $800 sealed on the second-hand market in my area. Currently getting a 30-series card anywhere but a retailer is not worth it. When I mentioned low-end cards, I was talking about the GT 710 you have in your build or something that similar. I'd classify a 3060 TI as a mid-tier card tbh. Regardless, it is a very solid build but people seem to be turned off by builds without decent GPU's because of how much of a pain/ the price of the market is for GPU's.

Roland loves being the center of attention!

Is studying or working harder ? Share you experiences : )
cichington replied to pwarrow88's topic in Off Topic
I'd say it all comes down to what your preference is. I studied Electrical Engineering in college which was not an easy subject. Lot's of late nights, headaches, fun experiences, and a few breakdowns later and I made it out. If I didn't actually enjoy studying what I was then I would have definitely had a lot harder of a time finishing. I am now almost a year and a half post-graduation with a job that allows me to have a very good work-life balance. When in school, it is tougher to achieve a good work-life balance as there is usually a lot more stuff going on, and school can seem like a chore at times (in my experience). Now that I am out of school, I don't think I ever want to go back, but I am glad I did it. Depending on what you want to do, and the knowledge you want to obtain will determine what the best choice is for you. You for sure get more real-world experience working but the academic resources, memories, friends, and more you get from going to school are worth it. Don't let you parents steer you in the direction they want you to go, steer yourself in the direction you want to go. In the end they do truly want to best for you, but only you know what's the best for you. -
It seems PC's without GPU's or PC's with low-end GPU's are a tough sell right now with how much of a pain it is to get a some-what decent GPU. Not sure if this is the same in Russia but in my area I could see this going for $650-$750 USD.

charger Volta Style Cable Compatibility with Razer Naga Pro
cichington replied to cichington's topic in Peripherals
Using a freedom tape measure I got 7/16" or about .4375" or 11.1125mm. This is rounding down to account for some small indentations in the slot so I think it will work. I think I'm going to bite the bullet and just buy it and report back here with my findings. Stay Tuned... -
charger Volta Style Cable Compatibility with Razer Naga Pro
cichington posted a topic in Peripherals
Hey all, I recently bit the bullet and went full wireless for my mouse and keyboard (Highly Recommend). I picked up a Razer Naga Pro, and a Razer Blackwidow V3 Pro during Cyber Monday. Unfortunately, the Naga Pro use Micro USB, and the Blackwidow uses USB C for charging. To keep the clean aesthetic, I wanted to only have one cable visible to charge both of them if needed. I was wanting to go with Volta Style Cable and just keep the small magnetic plugs in the peripherals however the Naga Pro has very little clearance where the cable plugs into the mouse. Has anyone used one of these and if so does it fit? Another option would be to get a Micro USB to USB C adapter, but that would not be ideal as those adapters tend to be a little chunky for my liking. Any advice or input on the matter would be great! Here's a picture of the charging port on the Naga Pro for reference:

Assistance With Sub Connection Options for Budget Set-Up
cichington replied to cichington's topic in Home Theater Equipment
Gotcha, to my limited knowledge, i'd have to use a sub with high level input/output if I wanted to filter some low-end away from the speakers right? The SMSL AD18 does have some EQ adjustments I can make but I don't believe it has any filtering capabilities to what I've found online. -
Hello, I am currently in the process of a budget 2.1 set-up for the TV and a record player in the living room. Currently I have the SMSL AD18 taking an input from my TV via optical and record player via AUX and outputting to a pair of Klipsch R-41M Speakers. This set-up satisfies my needs of sounding better than the TV speakers, and having a small footprint (The SMSL is tiny). I am wanting to add a subwoofer into the mix as the speakers lack a bit on the low end, and I want some more boom when watching movies. I am a little confused as to what I am needing for set-up. This amp states the COAX doubles as a Subwoofer output as seen below: I am a little skeptical about this as it seems it won't be the cleanest signal to the sub. My question is should I be fine using this as a connection to sub and getting a sub with these inputs: Or should I get a sub with high-level inputs/outputs as seen below, and not use the sub out on the amp (I will not be getting a Polk Sub, it's just for reference): Any input on the matter would help as there is not much information about the output on the amp that I could find. Thanks!

Help With Wired Connection Not Appearing After Reboot
cichington replied to cichington's topic in Networking
So after some troubleshooting, it turns out the ethernet jack I was originally using was either damaged or not run correctly. Thankfully there was another jack close by that worked and I have been able to get a stable connection. Thanks for the recommendations on troubleshooting! -
Help With Wired Connection Not Appearing After Reboot
cichington replied to cichington's topic in Networking
I did actually attempt to set up my modem and router in the junction box but was met with horrendous speeds due to the fact its a metal box. I may try and figure out a way to have the router outside for better coverage but I appreciate the suggestion. I will give it a shot today after work! Conveniently the coax is also located in the junction box (I can tap into the direct cable going into the street) so this would make it a little easier and lessen any potential issues with the ethernet jacks.
