    Who owns and runs this forum? I don't see any "about" info.

    I went to reddit for many years and I'm now trying to avoid it and move back to forums. Since I've seen how poorly things can go when they're owned by a central authority that can drastically change things on a whim, I'm more weary of spending time and effort on such websites, and try to learn...

    Use G-Wolves Hati cable for Razer Viper v3 pro mouse?

    My G-Wolves Hati mouse came with an extra cable that looks like this: My Razer Viper v3 pro is wireless but it can't be used wired because the cable is super stiff and heavy. It appears to be a regular USB-A to USB-C cable though. I'm wondering if I can easily change the end of the Hati cable...

    High DPI mice

    Nothing. That's it. It's useful for massive monitors where low DPI would be too slow. The vast majority of people don't need anything over 1000 DPI but mouse manufacturers used it as a marketing gimmick. I use 600 dpi on 1920x1080. 400. There was also some talk that doing this has some synergy...

    Why are IPS monitors popular? The IPS glow ruins a third of the screen along with any color advantage it may have.

    True. Compare that to the pictures I took where a pure black screen looks white due to IPS glow: https://www.amazon.com/review/R1ZA3N3Q7C10TT/ So the two monitors I purchased myself had completely different results from the monitor RTINGS showed. What does that say? RTINGS is totally...

    Why are IPS monitors popular? The IPS glow ruins a third of the screen along with any color advantage it may have.

    No, that's not valid at all. I'm very familiar with the mouse-world for example, and tons of really garbage mice were the most popular, largely due to: 1. Ignorant consumers. 2. Heavy & deceptive marketing. This phenomenon occurs in many consumer markets. I don't want to be rude, but I think...

    Why are IPS monitors popular? The IPS glow ruins a third of the screen along with any color advantage it may have.

    Not sure what you mean with this. I use my monitor to read text most of the day. VA has clear text; possibly even more so than OLED?

    Why are IPS monitors popular? The IPS glow ruins a third of the screen along with any color advantage it may have.

    I looked at the recommended monitors for gaming and movies on a major site and they list many IPS monitors. Before I bought my current VA monitor (AOC C27G1: 27", curved, 144hz, 1080p) I tried an IPS (Acer Nitro XV273, 240hz, 27") since I frequently saw them recommended, and I saw that...

    Videocard squeeks when I scroll

    Thanks for the tip! I used a mouse pad instead of toilet paper roll, and it seems to be coming from the PSU! Since this is a different PSU from my old PC, this noise problem is likely unrelated to my mouse Hz problem.

    This does seem like a pretty good deal, but I've seen someone say they got the 2700x for $130. Given that prices gradually decline I think I'll wait for a deal at least that good. $150 is the normal price for the 2700.
