I'm looking for suggestions for a gamijng mouse that will fit my large and honestly fat hands. They're not extremely big, I would consider them just a tad above average. The best mouse I've encounterd that fits my hand the best is the Razer Deathadder V2. I would buy one again, but I'm trying to get away from Razer and their shitty Synapse software, or as I call it 'Prolapse'. Anyways, I'd also prefere if the mouse has a wireless mode with a usb c cable. Thankyou in advance. Any suggestions are appreciated.

So let me first and foremost state that I am a razer fanboy. I have everything razer related, from the shirts to the chair, to the peripherals and laptops, i have everything razer. So to say that Razer messed up big, is no understatement. Nov 7 Razer pushed out an synapse update to where they tweaked with the audio spatial settings for nearly all razer headsets. What did it do? Made the audio unbearable to the point where it sounded like high squeals and muddy in others with barely much bass in some cases. I personally have a blackshark v2 pro. It was advertised with THX 7.1 SPATIAL. As seen in the link here. Now i'm aware people will say headphones won't have 7.1, and I'm aware of that but before they were pretty good and mimicing it and even windows would see it as a 7.1 when you configured the headset. Now since nov 7 and even nov 16 (when another update was pushed) The headsets for nearly all razer products from what is seen on reddit are junk. People go and complain about how the swap from stereo to thx spatial doesn't work or in my case it only sounds slightly louder. You don't have directionality anymore. I mean when i play apex now it just overwhelming to try listening for steps when you can't even tell if its on your left or right or what not. I have a set of tiamat v2 that i'm gonna try that also had 7.1 (it actually has 7 mini speakers in each cup) and see if those are any better compared to my blackshark now. But really i wanted to bring awareness to the fact razer doesn't seem to listen to us, nor just roll back the sound changes they did. But also looking possibly for suggestions for a good gaming headset (i have seperate stuff for music and all), so suggestions are welcome. Thanks Also really would like for linus to see this or even someone from LMG to see this and do testing to see if the synapse updates really did screw with the headsets and audio devices.

recently my new pc randomly cuts all signals to my 2 monitors and changes all fans in my case to 100% and only stops after i force reboot my pc otherwise i cant use it since my monitors wont get a single even after 5 minutes. what i allready tried: reinstalling Windows 11 reinstalling Drivers checking my internal conntections sending my gpu to the vendor for repair (they found nothing wrong with it/ couldnt replicate my issue, after that it disappeard for a month and now its back) my Hardware: -GPU: Gigabyte RTX 4090 Gaming OC 24GB -CPU: Intel Core I9 13900K -CPU COOLER: Corsair H150I -RAM: 2x16 GB currently cloked at 4800MHz -Motherboard: Gigabyte Z790 Aourus Elite AX -PSU: Seasonic Prime PX-1300 (1300W) -Storage: - 2X Samsung 980 1 Pro 1 non Pro both 1TB (Windows is on the Pro version) - 1x Samsung 870 EVO 2TB -Case: Corsaire ICUE 7000X RGB so far i only managed to trigger the issue while playing Battlefield 2042 Windwos Stability History doesnt give any errors just that windows was shutdown unanounced which was my doing when i forced it to shut down other than that i have no infos right now

I have been struggling to get good wifi signal and speeds in my outbuilding where my office is. Currently the download speed in the main house is 60 download and in the outbuilding only like 10. When I try to play games Im lagging a lot as the latency is spiking up and down. I have tried to use a wifi extender to make a bridge between the two buildings but still no good and then I have now incorporated powerline adapters but still no success. Any ideas how to improve my wifi signal and speeds?

Budget & Location Trying to work on the cheaper end as I already have the bulk of everything needed. But let's say $200-250 CAD max for mine and $200-300 CAD for my wife's PC. If there are valid reasons given, we can start planning out longer-term upgrades & begin saving for better parts for all PCs Vancouver, BC, Canada 2. Aim I work as a freelance audio engineer, and audio & video editor. My wife is a freelance web + graphic designer. We both use our PCs for work with Adobe CC and occasional gaming. I typically work at 1440p when my wife's not using the PC, or 1080p when she is. Gaming is often at 1080p but I've been using Dynamic Super Resolution to 1440p/4K for testing (which I'm not sure really does much for picture quality on the 1080p display). As I use my PC to record audio and video in my studio office, I need both PCs to be incredibly silent and not crash. ASUS Armory Crate is fine, however, I'm looking for almost inaudible operation; except when gaming/video editing. Good closed-back headphones (DT 770 Pro 250 Omhs) eliminate most of the noise but I still use my M-Audio AV32 studio monitors (or more so my wife does). At this point, the bulk of the noise is coming from the 5600g and Gigabyte Eagle RX 6600's heatsink cooler fans in the Node 202. Part of this upgrade is to maybe look into a different case for my wife that's still not too big. Her last PC had a Cooler Master Masterbox (I believe; it was from 2016-2017) and if the desk is set up correctly, I think it would be fine. We're not opposed to mATX or regular ATX, just got a good deal for this whole mini ITX. A mobo swap to something name-brand might just be better in the long run and mATX boards are easier to find and cheaper overall. In fact, we're not sure if the GPU, RAM or motherboard are causing the occasional visual glitch with Chrome on my wife's PC. Additional note: I have a bunch of drives and use all three PCs as file servers on gigabit LAN, so upgrading to a Define 7 might be a better option for my PC (but that's not in the budget right now but something I wanted to bring up). I like having a side panel window but I typically turn all my RGB off since it can be distracting. The Node 202 has a different Lian-Li PSU (which has been great) but because of the way the plug goes, the 202 case won't fully close and has a small bump; the case's U-shaped stand won't fully fit and her PC and has been put aside. The mini ITX case is in the middle of the desk behind the monitors. My wife has mentioned wanting to purchase a Macbook and her dad may just sell us his 2017 Air for a cheaper price since we recently sold her 2020 M1 Macbook Air (freelance doesn't always pay, kids lol). This could end up being a simple case swap for her PC. For the desk, we're using an IKEA Linmonn 78" tabletop with 4-5 legs that likely needs to be replaced, with an LTT Northern Lights deskpad. (currently only 2 legs and a white Alex 5-drawer cabinet). I like my DeepCool case but I'm not opposed to something silence-focused like the Define 7/XL. 3. Monitors 🖥 HP 27fw 1920x1080 IPS 75Hz - birthday gift from 2018 Gigabyte M27Q 2560x1440 IPS 170Hz - paid $100 CAD, has a couple of cosmetic issues Microsoft Surface Pro 2 i5 4300u - can be used as a spare wireless monitor Long term, I could upgrade to an additional 27"+ 1440p/4K IPS display or a single massive Ultrawide with Picture In Picture, so my wife and I can have our own displays but we're fine for now. 4. Peripherals ⌨🖱 Already covered, no need to upgrade. 5. Why are you upgrading Ideally, if I had the budget for a 4090, I'd buy a 4090 because Path Tracing is great but as my PC is more than fine for my needs, the upgrades for my PC are more acoustic and temps focused, than gaming-centric. My wife's PC might just need a quieter CPU cooler, case and possible GPU swap (but that could be pricey as the RX 6600 is working fine, just louder as the fan speed increases). Would there be much of a real-world difference using Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign & Adobe XD if she upgraded to a Ryzen 7 5700/5800x/Ryzen 9 5900x over the 5600g? Or would the differences in work be negligible? I'm honestly leaning towards another B550 mobo with 6+ SATA ports and a larger case swap for her as that might balance out the noise and temps. If we could find something in pink, I know she'd really love it 6. Additional info Side point for future consideration; how long will my 5900x and 3060Ti be useful (I know this is more contentious due to the "lower" VRAM lol) in work and games? Would I notice any massive improvements in workstation tasks & gaming that would make upgrading to a Ryzen 9 7th gen a more value-focused option? And say I wanted to upgrade my GPU to something better, has anyone been able to find a suitable option on the AMD Radeon side that would be comparable with OpenCL performance to CUDA in Adobe CC to this 3060Ti or even better? Or should I just go with a 4070/Ti/4080 and be done with it? I've been eying up both the RTX 4070Ti/4080 and RX 7900 XT/XTX as long-term investment goals but having a toddler makes this far less of a priority, if my 3060Ti can handle Path Tracing in Cyberpunk 2077 and Alan Wake II with DLSS on xD My PC is pictured below. I noticed that one of the fans will rattle at higher RPMs, so I may need to adjust the mount or go for another 140mm. I'm not opposed to Noctua fans since RGB is fine but not a requirement. I didn't mention it, but I have a spare EVGA fully modular 80+ (Bronze or Gold) 750w PSU that I would need to find time to swap out and cable management. I also have one of my 870 QVO 1TB SSDs that has the plastic connector broken off with the pins still accessible in the SATA data port (cable has the plastic housing stuck) that's not touched but could be dying as I get disk write issues when updating Steam games on that drive. Once again thanks in advance folks and I truly appreciate you helping out and giving some time to help solve this

Cyberpunk 2077 in VR blew my mind! I'm using Luke Ross R.E.AL. VR Mod because just works, easily and it is actively updated. It cost $10 /month and I've already gotten 2 updates for CP2077 v2.02 in a week. Or just cancel your $10 membership after you get the mod. I wasted hours on vorpx before, and it was interesting but the graphics were poorly optimized. To install you put the REAL un-zip files in the /bin/x86 folder and run the REAL dot bat file. A DOS Window pops open to install the mod. I found the REAL mod looks way better and more immersive. There is also a pop-up overlay to setup the mod in game. I had a steep learning curve in VR, but turned it to my advantage. I play Mouse & Keyboard. But in the goggles I am blind and it's easy for my fingers to get lost. So I Taped Bumps on keys W - X - I to find them in the dark. Now I had to learn how to coordinate my right hand mouse, left hand keyboard and line of sight by aiming my whole head at the crosshairs. It feels just like a Jet Fighter Pilot, or Iron Man Heads Up Display inside of CP2077 VR. I just look at an enemy, then put mouse on the target and when the cross hair + turns red I pop the trigger. The hard part is having to use my whole head and neck muscles to look and aim precisely. The next problem I had was I decided to try an alternate ending. I had to learn how to play in VR while in a MEGA boss fight. Took me 3 days day to figure out how to wear Kurt Hansen down. I have a core i9-10850K, 32GB, RTX3060Ti, HP Reverb G2 (2160x2160 @90Hz per eye). I tuned the settings to max res, lower quality, DLSS performance. Tip #1: Reduce the FOV to 70 in CP2077 settings. It makes the HUD narrower and easier to read. I get solid 60 FPS in the CP2077 benchmark. I gave my HP Reverb the CP2077 Netrunner cosplay treatment. I designed VR tracking cubes, printed then out onto foam core. It makes the centering rock solid. Tip #2: If the centering drifts off, shake your head and it resets.

Ive looked on proton db site and seen that game had a gold rating. so it seems that the game would run. when i start the game i just get black screen how do i fix this im running a AMD® Ryzen 5 5500 × 12 , NVIDIA Corporation GA104 [GeForce RTX 3070 Lite Hash Rate] , Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS ,

the utility keeps disconnecting and reconnecting. I am also using pulse audio (pavucontol) to control my audio sources. I am baffled on what this issue is. it was working before and not working now for some reason. i need this software to run my streams. I attached the logs for quicker support pop-support_1700345925.tar.xz goxlr-daemon.log goxlr-daemon.log.1

Budget (including currency): Rupees 1,30,000 Country: IndiaV latest AAA games valorant and cs2 along wiht some latest AAA games like cyberpunk and etc Other details: I don't care about aesthetic like rgb and stuff. But i would like to get the best for this budget. iwould like your help planning a gaming pc tax and all is not included ps: Thank you so much

Budget (including currency): 900 USD Country: America Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mainly going to be trying to use this for gaming I.E: Baldur's Gate 3, Valorant, LoL, Overwatch 2 and some others Other details: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HMWM34 heres everything in the build, just wondering if i'll be able to run the games i listed at least decently well

Budget (including currency): 1500$ CAD (please tell me if this is a high or low budget) and I am willing to pay more for higher performance Country: Canada Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: gaming in general, streaming content creation. Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I would prefer an intel core (as google said it’s better for gaming) and a large case that would be easy to work with and air cooling is preferred (I dont want to have to figure out water cooling as a beginner). past that I’m willing to go with anything.

I'm currently looking for a new laptop, preferably one that can do light-medium gaming (Overwatch, MWII, Minecraft, Forza 4, Etc.). I have a budget of around $6-700 or so. Not too picky about any of the specifics, though I would like the following: 16 GBs of Memory 500GBs minimum of Storage (preferably SSD) 15 inches minimum size A GPU of some sort (at least 20-series, anything lower I think is a waste of money iirc) CPU doesn't really matter I've found the following models thus far: The HP Omen Gaming Laptop w/ RTX 4050 and Ryzen 7640HS CPU (slightly out of my price range but could be doable, I do get a discount of about $100 so that's something to consider) The ASUS TUF A16 Gaming Laptop w/Radeon RX7600S and Ryzen 7735HS The HP Victus w/Intel I5 13500H and RTX-4050 GPU I'm thinking the ASUS Model would be a potentially good option, though I'm not familiar with the Radeon and Ryzen series of CPUs/GPUs so any assistance there or with other potential options would be awesome Thanks!

Here's the newegg page to the PC I bought that includes specs: https://www.newegg.ca/msi-mpg-trident-3-11si-009ca/p/N82E16883152798?Item=N82E16883152798 I'm attempting to play games at 1920x1080p, but my FPS keeps dropping and I'm not sure why. I set my settings around from medium to low and, on Destiny 2 for example, I'm using 1800MB out of 5900MB of my VRAM and I'm still running into huge FPS drops when I try and maintain 72 FPS. What can I do to fix this?

Hi all, I'm looking for a decent display for general productivity use (studies, work, watching movies etc). I'm a student and ideally want a high-quality monitor, so I'm checking used product websites (eBay & FB Marketplace - I'm in the UK if that helps). My core requirements - a 27-inch 1440p display. What I'm unsure about is: - Are in-built speakers a big upgrade? I'll be using my laptop (2020 Mac Air with the Intel i5 chip) to power the display, which has pretty decent speakers itself, I'm just unsure whether having audio built into the monitor will be much better than audio from my laptop speakers, which are already more than good enough for me. I've found a few decently priced QHD 27" 144hz monitors which lack speakers (Samsung Odyssey G5, some Koorui and Iiyama models), hence why I'm asking. - Is having a higher refresh rate a big upgrade when it comes to everyday use (even something like 75hz)? I just love the smoothness in use but know it won't make much of a difference when watching movies etc. I'm planning to get my PS4 Pro to university soon so it may get some gaming use, but it isn't the main priority for the monitor. I've gamed on 60fps all my life anyway so I'm not sure whether springing for a monitor with a higher RR will be worth it, but it sure would be nice haha. - In general, will a curved display make much of a difference? It's not a concrete requirement since it doesn't seem to be a big feature at this size, so I'm not too fussed about it. Would appreciate any insights, thanks!

Budget (including currency): 2500 Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: MW2, Warzone, Valorant, CS:GO, GTA, Streaming, General Use, NAS Server, Plex Server Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Ok so I have 2 builds that I have created, one is a barebones build that I want to start by making during Black Friday and the other is what I finally want to upgrade over the next few months to but I have to wait because of price. Barebones List:https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RL4Brv I already have the m.2 drive, gpu, psu on hand so I'm holding of on upgrading those until early next year. I went with the NZXT H9 Flow because I felt that it would be most efficient for cooling and future upgradeability. Final PC: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mzkgPF With the final PC I added another 2tb m.2 which I would switch to my primary and then use the old one as a NAS Cache, and run raid 1 on the 2 seagate drives. I also plan to swap out my 3060 for a 7800xt . So I wanted to see if any body had any suggestions about this build and what monitor y"all think would best utilize my graphics card. My main concerns about this build are, is the power supply going to be able to handle the load of the new build without issues, Do I have to worry about overheating, How would I make this very expensive build look clean and organized visually. I don't necessarily mind the white and black look because I want the white case but would using white cable mod cables make the build more aesthetic or would it look weird with every other pc component being black.

Budget (including currency): 650-850 Euros Country: Germany Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Old low graphic intense games, also modern strategy or economy games like Anno 1800, Civ 6 etc.; Office Programms for work Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Hello everyone! I'm building a new Desktop Computer for my father, who's wants to use the pc for low to mid intensive gaming (e.g. stragey, economy games), maybe also some rather perfomance intensive gaming like ego shooters. I have already prepared a list of thinks I thought would fit in general, or would fit for the budget, but I would like some professional advice on which parts to buy exactly, and what is a good idea, what not. He doesn't want to spend much on it, and rather upgrade it in the future, if he thinks it can't fit his needs. So the budget is around 650 to 850 Euros. With the existing part picker list calculations and around 150-200 Euros for a low tier gpu I calculated around 750 Euros. Fancy rgb lighting or casing isn't needed at all. But a big storage is something important, so I went with 2 TB of SSD for games and other applications and 4 TB HDD for bulk storage of movies, pictures, so just cheap storage. The bulk storage is important and I think something like another 4 TB of SSD is just unnessecary, considering there is not much Budget and he is fine with HDD storage. He already has Peripherals and Monitors and he wants a wifi capable motherboard. To sum it up. He wants: A PC for entry-mid level gaming at 1080p Fast storage for applications and games Much, cheap bulk storage Wifi capable motherboard No unnessecary decorations (rgb, glass side panel) Partpickerlist: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/mtxGjH Thank you guys in advance for answering.

I am utterly baffled by this. This morning I got on my computer and turned on my wireless headset (HyperX Cloud Stinger Core Wireless DTS) and I noticed that it started mic monitoring. I first assumed that maybe it was an update with some software, so I tried unplugging the usb receiver dongle and it continued to monitor the voice input. To be clear, this headset does not have an option for build in mic monitoring, only on, off, and volume control. I tried restarting my pc, my headset, I even tapped it against the wall in hopes that maybe something got loose. Nothing worked, and in the end, I decided to get a new headset because this is not the first issue I've had with this headset. I'm curious if anyone knows anything about this because it makes no sense to me.

Budget (including currency): Around 1500 euros Country: Spain Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mostly to play cs2, to reach over 250fps consistently and play any other triple A titles at high 60fps. Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): The point of making this post is to get help like I did some years ago, so I can build a PC that will last me 5 years, with the main point of playing CS2 specifically, and some other random games in which I dont really care the FPS since I just want them to be playable and enjoyable. At the moment my PC is a i5-8600k with 16GB of RAM, a rtx 2070, 1TB nvme, with a 750w corsair PSU. My plan is to try and re-use the NVMe and the PSU if possible since my main goal is to have a system with a RTX 4070. I have a case similar to a Nox Hummer TGX Rainbow RGB 3.0 USB, but the earlier versions of it (which are not in production anymore) and the fans that came with it are dead atm. So a new case would be needed, or some 120mm fans with 3 pin connectors to replace them (or a new whole case) I'm not into flashy RGBs and all that stuff, but if they come with it I won't be mad about it. The budget I set is about 1500 euros, but I can go a bit over it if needed. Thanks in advance to all the people that pitch in to help me out!

So I have an Alienware m16 Ryzen 9 7845HX with a 4080 and 16 GB of RAM. I currently play DBD aka Dead by Daylight, the problem is with the fps limit. When I play at 60 fps it's fine but when I put it on 120 it starts to stutter and kinda lag. So can someone help me and tell me what I can do..?

Budget (including currency): €2.000 (may go over a bit, but preferrably no more than €100) Country: Belgium Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mostly gaming, categories mostly consist of FPS and Open-world games Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Using 2 1080p Monitors, 60 & 75 Hz My current build has been the same for 4+ years, with the GPU being even older, about 6 years, if I'm correct. I have been due for an upgrade for a long time, and am not planning on re-using any parts from my current build, apart from maybe the SSD and an HDD, as my current system consists of: Current build: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Memory: 16GB 2400 (DDR4?) Motherboard: MSI B450 Gaming Plus OS: Windows 11 Home Storage: 1TB HDD, 2TB HDD, 500GB Kingston SSD Case: Sharkoon S25-W Tower Upgrading To: PCPartPicker Part List: https://be.pcpartpicker.com/list/H3vrGP CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7900X 4.7 GHz 12-Core Processor (€454.90 @ Azerty) CPU Cooler: be quiet!

This system is mostly based on specs I saw on the site and compatibility. Is the PSU enough or overkill? Thx for any feedback!
