Do you have pets, plants, high volume foot traffic, hate ads or want a Google assistant without the tracking?

There is a project for anything.

Well I guess it fills your needs, so can't yuck your yum.

I'm just not a fan of all that data collection. Alexa and Roku boxes are really noisy. Even worse than Android phones on networks.

I track the movement of the sun with a RasPi for my sheds solar panels position. Silly things like that but I've noticed a difference in power esp during this winter month.

Also took down my home security panel and replaced with a Pi. IDK, simple stuff but the projects and learning are fun.

Alarm clocks and wake up lights are usually a decent starting point.

I don't mind the data collection.

The solar panel thing is really cool.

The security panel is interesting. Is it able to connect to a monitoring company?

If it's just 2 weapons, I use E and R. In fortnite, I use ERCXZ. The numbers are just too weird for me to use. I only use the 4 for traps.

For sea of thieves, I just use the scroll wheel as it's a low stress game.


Since I mainly play PUBG, Squad and R6 I need the Q&E to lean. I will do my best to use the keyboard but sometimes it's easier "if you're in a pinch" to use the scroll.

No no no no, Q and E need to stay on lean

Last thing you want to do is have to use 3 fingers at the same exact time on your mouse when firing. Too many variables and weight that can throw off aim. Especially with how often and quickly you change leans in R6, that sounds like a bad time

USAF, when I get home today I can screen shot my PUBG settings to give you an idea (I have like 1400 hours in that game )

Learn to fat finger. Another valuable tip I wish I would have known when I first started on KB. I'm still learning to accurately do it

I guess. I didn't get into the lean games so much. R6 was such a large knowledge gap that I didn't play for long because I played for the first time when it was free for a weekened last year.

So I'm just curious. What type of mechanical switch keyboard you yall prefer?

I like the cherry mx red switch because I already have another keyboard (rubber dome) that I can use for typing so the typing aspect of it doesnt really matter to me.

I like any style of blues or browns, whether it be cherry, gateron, romer

Blacks and reds seem too mushy to me

I really like blues but damn they loud.

I had some cherry speeds which are pretty much reds and I mistyped so much and pressed buttons I didn't mean to while playing.

Glad I decided to get Metro Exodus on PS4, no FOV slider on PC and apparently the performance is total shite.

But you don't have a FOV slider on PS4 I assume so it's a wash anyway.

That doesn't matter. Your FOV is the same in a 24" as a 70" if aspect ratio is the same.

Duh.

I'm saying the motion sickness feeling doesn't really occur for me when sitting 10 feet back on a 65" screen versus 2 feet away on a 27".

This is also why the vast majority of PC games have FOV sliders and console games mostly do not.
