You paid 260 dollars for something that normal people will pay 10-20 dollars for. At least keyboard autism I can understand, that is retarded. Lift some weights nigga
"Bu-bu-bu-buuuut muh 6 gorillion APM bro! Don't you get it"

I swear competitive 'gaming' is such a sad joke. Then they still get wrecked by some Ruskie slav on a potato pc with a shitty track ball mouse. This is coming from someone who did, yes, spend $60 on the "G Pro wireless" (what dumbass names), but my reasoning was to chuck it in the lunch bag to take to work with the laptop. At home? Wired all day baby.
 
I don't even do competitive gaming. I mostly play RPGs. I just really don't like the feel of cord drag or watching my cable fray over time from dragging across the edge of my keyboard tray. It's more comfortable and it feels better. Not to mention all the mice I've broken over the years from accidentally pulling on the cable with my foot when leaning back or whatever. That's enough justification for me.

I mean, fair enough. Still seems like you go through some very abnormal abuse with mouse cords lol.
 
This discussion about wired/wireless mice superiority is full of silly argument on both sides. I can't even imagine what you'd have to do to actually twist the wire. It's not hard to find mice with excellent wire which you (almost) don't feel when using. As for wireless you'd have to be a fucking slob to lose the receiver, charging is non-issue too, you can always use a decent wire, so you basically have the same experience as wired user. Price difference is also not really a factor anymore, you can get a really good wireless mouse for like under €40, at least in yurop.

lol no
keyboard autism is just as stupid, if not more retarded
t. keyboard-enthusiast
 
I wonder how much extra you paid to have "no drawbacks". You guys must be unbelievably autistic or doing something strange to get this bent out of shape over cord drag.

Anyway LMG has killed off their "They're Just Movies" show. Linus claims this isn't some cost cutting exercise and it was the team's decision to discontinue the show at the end of this year. Pressing X to doubt.

Oh no now where will I get my movie opinions from hipsters from?

GN vs LTT

Also seems like LTT got it for free (surprising isn't it), While GN paid out of pocket.

Okay, now that's just low. He's directly ripping off Steve within two days of when GN published their video. As if he couldn't make it more obvious he is seething that he has nowhere near as much clout as daddy Steve so now he's trying to mock his daddy so he gets the same amount of attention.
 
I hate the way they title videos. If you want to say, "I'm not supposed to have this;" it better be small Chinese children with baggies of black-tar heroine in their stomachs that you and your wife smuggled into the country. Or the Justin Trudeau version of Hunter Biden's laptop, or Madison's nudes from the office bathroom, or whatever.
 
I was lurking on LTT foruns and people noted that this map that Linus used on the video below, countries like Kashmir, Nepal and others are just China.

It's funny that Linus complains about every politician and says that he has integrity but back down to China because he host videos on bilibili.

Don't tell me you seriously consider wired mice superior. There is no tangible difference in response time, and the convenience of wireless mice is infinitely higher. I can't imagine still having a cable pulling pulling my hand and getting stuck and twisted. If all wireless accessories get on that level, the wired versions will become mostly obsolete for consumer use, as they should be.
You write this like you get wired mice cables stuck inside your dick or something. It's not that damn hard to not have your cable not get tangled. It's called cable management for a reason. Go to walmart, buy some zipties, learn how to use em. Here's a video guide since I feel like you might need it.

Personally I'm a fan of those velcro ties you can cut to a given length, you can get them fairly cheap on Aliexpress. Here's a link of the offer I bought it from, you can get 5 meters of this stuff for pennies with free shipping, so it's not like it's a big loss if it somehow gets lost in the shipping. Aliexpress has a good refund policy on lost packages anyway.

I like the velcro ties as well but I linked zip ties because I think velcro is to advanced for the guy raging about wired computer mice.
Then again he might just fit in for a linus video about "le cool wireless shirt or some this."

Quite.

Wireless mouse and keyboard = good
Wireless networking and audio = not as good as wired
I mean wireless is good and all but purely wireless always sucks cause when the batteries fail I'd like to be able to remove them and use it wired instead off well buying a new one. Call me cheap but I like having the option. Agree on wireless networking though. Audio It depends. I know bluetooth is a pain in the ass but surprisingly on linux, the codecs make a pretty big difference. A2DP with pipewire is a fucking godsend because fuck pulse audio and the AAC codec is fantastic if you are just listening to music or something because there's at least a 0.5 second delay on audio. Now the next best option I found for that is the SBC-XQ codec. Yes you'll most likely notice the audio difference but it still doesn't sound all that bad for what it is and it has far less latency delay. I actually haven't even noticed any latency delay with that codec tbh.

Also going back to the issue of snagging mouse cable, I do not have that issue. My desk has plenty of empty space, enough that if I move my keyboard to the edge my cat can lay down in front of me without interfering, and the mouse cable is just hanging loosely enough to the back of the desk that it's not under tension. The rest is routed on a cable organizer. It's really not an issue if you have enough space to make it loose.
 
Give me your hats or whatever, but I'm not a fan of GN. I noticed there's a lot of dickriders ITT and I used to watch his vids but stopped because he seemed to pivot away from actual tech videos and went on a GradeAUnderA-tier moral crusade against Newegg and I just wasn't there for it. IMO he's just not that much different from Linus, especially between the LTT screwdriver and the GN bar mat. It's the same "Muh R&D buy my merch". Different levels of magnitude, but the exact same thing.

Ditto for his "Journalism." I don't really care.

I should say that since I stopped I haven't watched any more of his stuff, so I don't know what he does now. Maybe it's different, but I don't really care to find out.

I wouldn't really say its different - for the most part, what you said is correct. The thing I've noticed with GN is they tend to get stuck to something for a few months, then move on. Sometimes its things like the Newegg Crusade, sometimes its harping on shitty quality hardware, and sometimes their determination actually does drive them down a path that leads to good stories or discoveries.

They're autistically focused on doing what they do well, they just don't always do the 'best' things. Good space to keep an eye on, when they're in one of their good binges, they're really informative. When they get into another period of reviewing customer service for prebuilts, you can safely leave for a few weeks or months.

I wonder what he thinks about Taiwan, considering his employee with one of the largest fan followings other than himself is from Taiwan

I can mostly agree with this but i really do not like any consumer tech youtubers anymore, if i must watch any however it will be gamersnexus
