Five years ago, the CEO of Razer, which makes gaming gear, laptops, bags and chairs, said the brand would make a toaster. As part of the campaign to get the product made, several Facebook users got tattoos of Razer toasters. Now, there's no toaster and the company says it will not be regularly updating its community due to inappropriate social media comments, including death threats. Tom's Hardware caught up with nine of the 12 folk who got tattooed to find out how they feel, and if they still believe.
I'm growing to dislike wearing a typical large #GAMER headset. I think what I want is gaming-centric, wireless in-ear monitors, with no mic. Do those exist?
Started putting together a dedicated mic + earbud set.
Got a #Razer Seiren V3 Chroma, because RGB, with an Elgato low-profile mic arm, and Razer's Hammerhead Pro earbuds.
I feel less restricted, but the earbuds of course have shorter battery life and the mic is still active, hurting battery.
Mit der richtigen Firmware kann man in #Windows RGB Geräte steuern. Meine #Razer Maus/Tastatur lassen sich ohne Synapse einstellen 👍. Problem ist nur, Wireless Geräte gehen in Stand-by und Windows bekommt danach nicht mehr mit, dass die Farben resettet wurden 🙄.
Hey, if you've had terrible #Razer customer support (or even if not), can you upvote or comment on this thread?
They're a billion dollar company with some of the worst customer support that many of us have ever dealt with. Something needs to change. And we know they watch these threads (they reply sometimes).
I have the original version of this #Razer chair because the lumbar support felt unique and was the most comfortable of the chairs I could find, gaming and otherwise.
Tonight, Saturday 15th July 2023, at 8:00pm Eastern US, Solus is going to be the Distro Exploration.
I have been personally invited to be on the Zoom call which shall be part of the YouTube stream.
It would be great to have others of the Linux community there, especially Solus users. https://cubiclenate.com/linuxsaloon/ #Solus#Linux#LinuxSaloon
Although I have #Solus 4.4 #Budgie installed on a #Razer 15 laptop, which updated from 4.3, I went ahead and installed Solus 4.4 #Mate on a Dell #Optiplex 755 Desktop.
Smooth as a hot knife through butter!
No issues at all.
Least I can say tonight that I actually did install 4.4 from ISO.
Chose Mate on this spare machine, so I can follow the eventual process to #Xfce out of pure interest.
People who spend €1k+ on a GPU but then buy a Logitech #MK120 and then complain the can't get highscore in any game really should reevaluate their priorities.
I don't expect people to DIY their own keyboard like @fuchsiii but even getting a decent board & mouse that don't fail 1 day after warranty ends looks at [#Razer in anger] might be worth the money...
Trying to decide whether to keep the #Razer#Huntsman Mini (optical linear) or send it back so I thought I’d do a typing speed test. The results with the Mini (60%) are in blue rectangles. Middle results are with my #Topre#Realforce (tenkeyless).
First two results were likely me getting used to the test environment. The drop off after the second switch is me getting used to the Huntsman’s layout again. Overall, typing speed wise there isn’t a huge difference.
So because I apparently NEED another keyboard, I got a #Razer#Huntsman Mini with the optical linear red switches after touching one in Paris.
(I love my Topre but it can get a bit tiring after a long coding session. Also, I’ve always wanted a 60%)
Anyway, great little #keyboard, crappy proprietary Windows-only software. Used my Windows test machine to map Shift to Hypershift which makes the arrow keys usable.
Then, in #Linux, had to press Fn+menu until the correct profile kicked in.
So in case anyone’s interested in my #Razer#Hunstman#Mini on #Linux (specifically, Fedora Silverblue) experience, I found that mapping the #hypershift key to left shift was too confusing (apparently I do use left shift more than I thought I did).
Instead, here’s what I’m trying today, which seems to be working really well:
Mapped hypershift to caps lock
Mapped caps lock (which I use as my compose key) to right control (which I really don’t ever use)
