    Alright, I have a bit of a situation. I got a stack of $15 gift cards (American Express debit kinda thing) totaling $90. I tried to use them to get a bunch of $15 Amazon gift cards, but that didn't work because amazon temporarily charges $1 to check if it's legit (so trying to buy $15 with $14 got it declined) My aunt who gave them to me mentioned they might start charging interest once I try to spend them, so I want to buy something from the nearby Fry's in the next week. I need some ideas of what to buy. I've got the peripherals I want, my cables are managed, and I have a new monitor coming in soon. I'm in a dorm, so nothing crazy please. tl;dr I have $90 I need to spend in a store pretty quickly and I can't think of anything I need/want, please help. Thanks, friends :^)

    Hey, thanks man. I'll check those out Do you know (or can recommend a reliable source I can check) how they compare to my M50s?

    I do quite a bit of gaming and the music I listen to is typically more "chill" rather than upbeat with heavy bass. I'm not really familiar with what other headphones sound like so I couldn't say what I especially like about the M50 sound, sorry. I guess something I can say is I used to be really into the upbeat, bass-heavy music and have changed my preferences with no less enjoyment listening through these headphones.

    I've had the ATH-M50 headphones plugged into a Fiio E5 for years and (after some comfort modifications) had basically no complaints. It sounds about as good as I care about and I like the cable length (I have the coiled cable). It's getting a bit old and I fear the cushioning on the headband might fall apart in the next couple of years (much of the material covering it has already fallen off) Since I don't really know much about high end audio, I figured I should go ahead and start looking at what else is available and get myself educated. I won't be spending more than $200. What recommendation would you give and why? What should I be looking for? Also, are the headphones that show up on Massdrop worth looking into (how do they compare to the ATH-M50) Thanks :^)

    I saw the Tesoro Gram Spectrum and thought it looked great in white. I liked the way the light spread out around each key (I think the transparency in the switches helps with that) I don't really like some of the keycaps though, like the Q and the N. Could I replace all of them with regular keycaps from my old keyboard? Would they interrupt the lighting? Are there any other keyboards with a similar look that I could try instead? Thanks in advance!

    My friend and I play a lot of league, but we are students who don't really have time for that on weekdays (our parents aren't fans of it either). Sooo, we were wondering if there is an MMO that we can afk. We don't necessarily mean botting (open to it tho if it doesn't mess with the community) we are looking for something that we only need to check in on every once in a while. We tried EVE and Runescape, but EVE is hard to approach and my friend played Runescape in the past and didn't like it (I know complete opposite problems) If you know any other games similar to these, I'd like to know about it!

    the keyboard because ghosting sucks

    I'll be using youtube.com/tv Thanks!
  9. ButthurtTumbleweed
    This looks promising! Thanks man
  10. ButthurtTumbleweed
    True but I don't have any on hand and a decent set would probably be more than the chromecast Thanks though!
  11. ButthurtTumbleweed
    Yeah, but I don't use the TV that much, I still want to make some use of my chromebook, and I'm going to university soon so I'm moving out in a few months anyways (won't need it at school and nobody else in the family would use it) never really wanted a Chromecast anyways but while I've got the Chromebook...
  12. ButthurtTumbleweed
    Wasn't sure which category this fit under so it's in general. My situation: have a Chromebook, loved that it did all my simple media and schoolwork easily and fairly easily. I dropped it one day and the half the screen is useless and the other half sucks too. I have it plugged in to my TV downstairs since only the screen is broken and sometimes use it to watch YoutTube while I cook and/or eat. It's really annoying to have to walk up to it to adjust something (skip ad, click another video, etc) I still want to make use of it so I was wondering if there was a way to make it act like a Chromecast. Control it from my phone or something.

    uhh, k?

    Ye, a standard dual stick controller and thanks i'm following the topic
  15. ButthurtTumbleweed
    How would one go about taking a controller with them in a day bag? The control sticks worry me. Would it be fine to just throw it into a pocket somewhere?

    I saw a few reviews for the Roccat Nyth (which has customizable button layouts) and noticed a common criticism that the buttons were a bit tedious to swap if you would want to do that a lot. Sooo, I had the idea of something like a tray that is in the shape of the layout of the removable buttons that you could just hold up to the side of the mouse when you eject and they stay in place so when you want to use that layout again you just press the whole tray against the mouse, pushing all the buttons in. (of course with multiple trays for each layout) What do you guys think? Is this something people with the mouse would like? If you think I should make something like that, leave some suggestions and tips. I have a little bit of experience in CAD software and maybe I can cook something up! (I've never really made something like this before)

    u like soft or hard mouse mats? If u like hard mats like I do, I've used the Razer Sphex for years and only had to replace the first because i made the mistake of trying to travel with it; it's basically a sticker for your desk recommended if u will only use it in one spot
  18. ButthurtTumbleweed
    gahhh maybe i'll end up giving in with a deal like that
  19. ButthurtTumbleweed
    I don't think I'm ready to dish out that much money for it atm but if anyone else is, Massdrop has a deal on it ($90) for the next 4 days

    I own the Logitech G600 and i love it, but I saw the Roccat Nyth that has a similar layout with the side buttons but some differences attracted me to it. (The price tag makes me flinch tho) For example, the way I hold the mouse makes the G600's third click a bit difficult to press quickly without preparing beforehand, while I can see myself using the button by the Nyth's left click much easier. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone could tell me how the software compares, the Logitech software is what's keeping me since I have other Logitech peripherals and I love having the G-shift for the 24 button MMOs

    Gave up on the solutions i tried and super glued it
  22. ButthurtTumbleweed
    it presses and it starts feeling sore over time but I'll look into those pads
  23. ButthurtTumbleweed
    I have the same thing but with cotton balls ...my ears still touch
  24. ButthurtTumbleweed
    I bought some more comfortable earpads I can probably replace my current earpads with them but my ears touch the cans even with both pads stacked up (put some cotton balls under the M50 ear pads to extend it a bit)
