    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...

    Is there a gaming mice that is not garbage ?

    I think your choice of mice is not very good, but they shouldn't be dying in 6 months. I've owned a dozen mice and none of them have died on me. https://github.com/MaximilianKohler/Archive/wiki/Mice,-keyboards,-gaming https://www.rocketjumpninja.com/top-mice...

    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...

    [DEAD]- LG 45" Ultragear™ QHD 5120x1440p 200Hz Curved - $549 at Amazon

    Could you elaborate? I'm curious. I saw a video recently of playing games on a super-wide monitor like that and it seemed very immersive.

    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...

    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...

    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...

    You're Kyle Bennett? Nothing much other than what was in the OP. I'm just trying to figure out what the best/most reliable public forum to use would be.

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

    I used to use the overclock.net forum but while I was away it seems they made major changes and possibly sold to a 3rd party at the same time and most of the links went dead. I'm wondering what the chances are of something like that happening to this forum. I know this forum has always been...
