>>108741281Well my parcel is already out for delivery, on a sunday no less.
Now that 1 cent trials are completely gone. Did anyone get anything from it?
Hey /csg/ I need your help.I have a pair of these coolass old Sony speakers that I used as a kid that I loved the sound of. I recently found them again after cleaning and I was wondering : What chink amp or dac do I get if I want to connect these to my PC ?Nothing fancy, just want them to work correctly and the sound is normal.
>>108746011get an aiyima amp not sure about wattage, look your speakers model online for more info.
>>108745508nothing is working nigga
>>108745621It arrived, huzzah.
>>108746217Man I didn't know these things are so expensive. Oh well I guess it's either this OR an XBOXHUEG old hi-fi player
>>108746011>>108746689I couldn't find any info about the wattage, even on a teardown video of the speakers, but the systems they came with seem to have been 80-100W. For desktop use you could easily get away with using a cheap TPA3116 amp, but you need to either have a power supply or pick up a laptop one.You'll probably want to check the surrounds on the woofers too. I can't tell if they're foam or not.
frens i need to get my cart to $30 to use the $4 off code, rec me some cheap useful tools or trinkets or just even toys
>>108746689theres lots of stuff out there look up duok audio or just type 20w amp stereo and pick something, even this little shit could power them, sound quality would probably be ass but for 5 dollars its ok
>>108746456But that's not legal D:
>>108746800That thing and many others even have a DAC in there to be hooked up over USB. Amplification really isn't difficult these days.
>>108746785I always use Xiaomi Piston 3 for that, baseball caps and canvas belts could be an alternative. All are around 4-6 donalds. If you want to go lower check baseus or orico cables etc.
what's the go-to sdcard brand right now? i don't need anything special, just a couple of 32GB with 10MB/s+ write speed for monitoring cameras
>>108746860MehIt's legal to buy the glass from US shopsBut because it comes from outside the US magically it's illegal.It's just melted sand.
>>108747067pick anything with 5 star reviews, i got some hp branded ones and also sonambulist, all meet specs.
>>108747153what if they put mexicans in the sand
wow, does no one sell a usb-c keychain laser pointer?
>>108747504I doubt china is shipping in mexicans to add to their glassBut even if they did it wouldn't bother me.
Is it true there is a secret satellite thing that let's you watch premium tv channels for free?
>>108748694Why the fuck would you think /csg/ can answer this
>>108748694anon.. its not 2005 anymore, there is this thing called IPTV
>>108745621private delivery company not USPS? during xmas they delivered on a sunday via amazon for me in aus. i wish it was like that all the time
>>108748766Yeah, even though it was billed USPS (after the first one was seized by customs using the economy shipping line), it was delivered by a 3rd party last mile operator, not USPS.Which clearly was the right move since it went from customs release to my door in under 15 hours, over 350 miles from the airport it landed at, on a sunday.
>>108748813mhmm, very similar for me. sorted at an auspost hub and at 7.30pm on the same day i heard the package getting dropped (literally) at my front door

looking for a tablet, just for browsing and watching movies, shows etc... something around 150$-200$. should I look for a xiaomi/redmi pad on aliexpress?

how long is the current aliexpress sale?
>>108751481there is no sale, its all a trick anon, when this "sale" ends another one will start
>>108751121the threads feels so dead compared to 2016I have not seen the /cgl/ ali thread in forever either and those used to be very activedid all the posters just grow up and leave for other sites and only a small handful remain?
>>108752559i am broke as fuck right now desu
>>108752579that is trueharder to be as frivolous as in the happy 2010s
>>108752599also ali temu or whatever buying is just mainstream, so people dont come here as much i guess, you can just ask wherever
>>108752559>the threads feels so dead compared to 2016governments all over the world taxed the shit out of chinkshit so the dropshippers can make money instead
>>108752559chink shit used to be cheap, now it just pretty much Chinese amazon, and you have to wait 3 weeks for you shit to arriveAli is completely dogshit now, they removed everything that was good
>>108752559The only thing worth left buying is shit like this >>108746456$290 for the "real" US version. $130 for the Chinese version.But for regular consumer goods you're generally better off going to amazon these days.
Reminder for EU people: buy items that require slow ass shipping, like thermal paste, flux and other liquids, NOW.
Why the fuck do I need to give my data to an Israeli company to buy razor blades? Same with pocket knives, this shit worked fine a couple of weeks ago. Wtf happened?
>>108753546Can I just ask, who is behind this kikery? I doubt it's AliExpress, I've been getting dildos advertised to me on the front page for years, I see no reason they would cut their own profits like that. Also that they route it through an Israeli company. Is it because of EUSSR?
>>108753577It's the Epstein elite. They saw how people are growing more and more unhappy and instead of throwing a few more crumbs their way like they used to do in the past they decided to go for total international surveillance of all people in the western world in order to control them and "make them content" with what they have (read: nothing), suppress any anti establishment sentiment, and stoke social tensions to distract us.
>>108753416i bought 15g of arctic MX-2 or 4 close to a decade ago and it still works, the 1-2C difference is not worth the effort. i was looking at PTM, but i wouldn't trust chink with this.
>>108753759>i was looking at PTM,ultimate meme.even the genuine stuff. >inb4 seething yous from people that fell for it (myself included).
>>108753835what is meme about it?i never bought it or anything
>>108753546i saw that too, Chinks really think i will post a pic of myself and ID to their servers? what the actual fuck...i dont know why Ali bowed down to the jews.. i guess it was that or they couldn't sell anymore in EU
>>108753887>Chinks really think i will post a pic of myself and ID to their serversdesu i'd to thatbut I won't post pic it to company run by jews
>>108752559I literally bought all the products I need, so I barely post anymore
>>108754413Me too, I did go years without buying things the last time my cunt introduced ridiculous fees in 2018 or something, so stocked up before hand. Started buying again last year just in time for the new eutard fees so I'm ordering cables and shit for the next few years this month.
>>108753887Not to their servers. The (((age verification))) is done by an Israeli company. I honestly wouldn't have that much of an issue if they did it in-house, but not to fucking jews.
Bros, is it just me or does claiming shopping credit with diamonds feel more difficult than ever...
>>108754586why did the chinks kneel to the jew?
>>108745483what's stopping me from requesting a partial refund with no return on every low cost item I buy? I always get that as an offer when attempting a returndoes your chang credit score go into the negatives and you get banned or something
I wish digikey and other suppliers had reviews like aliexpress. How am I supposed to know the quality of a component. I bought a set of different switches of the same spec so I could pick the sturdier one for a high power appliance. The shittiest ones are basically /csg/ tier shit.

>Bundle deals>Add 5 items in this section for free shipping.this is idiotic it's been many months and i still haven't found enough items i want but not urgently to fill this thing
>>108748030what hot air station do you have?
>>108756213they fucked it on the app. bundles now shows regular price for items and i have the special privilege of paying the normal 15% tax as well as opposed to the 10% outside of it
>>108755408i assume there are newer/better now but i was surprised with teclast t60 how there was virtually no bloat. just stock google android stuff
>>108745483You guys should be buying LifePo4 batteries from china while the getting is good. Prices will rise with inflation/tariffs etc. Solar panels are disgustingly cheap too though I wouldnt fall into the trap of trying to build a system with too many 100/200w panels.
>>108756521i kick myself regularly for not buying the t60 (the 12 incher right?) when it was like 80USD on flash sale
chinese PTM (thermalright helios v2 from ali) works way better on my laptop than any paste i tried keeps the temp at 70 on load and the fan isnt even going max speed on low load the temp is 50 with no to minimal fan.
>>108755170I bought the VT7 max recently and it's a banger for the price.
is $11 (with VAT) good price for 3x m35 flux? does it have coin discount?
>>108745508Thanks, I'm now slightly less poor than I would have been without an extra ~2 euro.t. europoor
>>108756727>thermalright helios v2what's that like sticker? paste is not a thing anymore?
>>108748030link? always wanted one of those.does it pass through EU customs?

>>108758023just send him the Tiananmen Square copy pasta
>>108758023looks like a mistake on their end as they sold for lower price than expected and tricked you into cancelling the order, but someone else on their "team" shipped it instead.there is not risk of anything since the seller fucked up, if anything you cancelling the order in the first place is worse for your account status. demanding $25 extra is laughable at this point. just don't respond at all
>>108758023>Irok MG75 V2100€ for that wtf

>>108758023Send them a polite message to fuck off, you don't pay for someone else's mistakes.They're free to ask the shipper to return to sender, but that's between them and the shipper and has nothing to do with you.If they try to fuck with your account just show the platform your timeline of messages and that THEY'RE the ones who fucked up.If you have any sort of purchase history on the account you're probably fine, these sites don't ban people who regularly spend money.
>>108757844I kept the stock ones, I'll change them out if the stock ones get messed up

a chink fucked up and gave me a $20 (flat) coupon code. whats the #1 thing you bought from ali that you think is your best purchase? i don't particularly need anything right now but the coupon lasts 7 days.
>>108760665enjoy your cancelled order
>>108760665KVM switch, perfect for users who have multiple computers but want to focus on something on a specific computer while the other runs. This is still cheap, can use it for Ai related stuff.
>>108756647that bullshit is over 270USD in my shithole nigga
>>108760705I have yet to purchase a single kvm switch that works.Last I bought a ugreen one, but every time I switched it would jumble all my windows as it disconnected the displays from whatever system it was being switched from.
>>108760978It's going to happen like that no matter what KVM you use. That is how your DE responds to a monitor being disconnected. You might be able to set up some kind of virtual display driver thing on your system's side, but no hardware could fix that for you really.
>>108760978let me guess you use DP and not HDMI
>>108761112>no matter what wrong. I still have an ancient kvm that doesn't do this. It emulates the screens when the focus is changed and it keeps an open laptop's screen off. you can get around this by fucking with edid emulators, but it's a proper mess.>>108761124why would any sane person use hdmi for a computer monitor with a perfectly good dp1.4 right there?
>>108761128because DP is shit if you disconnect it
>>108760705i just use RDP for work, way less hassle than KVM and lets me just alt+tab out of my work laptop to jack off to anime on my pc
>>108761128Cool. Model? Maybe he can just buy one of those. (No from Ali, of course.)
Sup fellow chiggers,I'm looking for something that uses a temperature probe to control a power outlet. Purpose is to heat the chamber of an X1C to a fixed temperature while printing ABS/ASA.A video I found recommends the Inkbird C206T, which is no longer made, but the C226T has replaced it. Problem: are these pieces of chinkshit made using mechanical relays? One Amazon reviewer talks about his C226T "clicking" on and off, so I assume that means it's a mechanical relay, not a solid-state relay.This would be problematic since mechanical relays eventually weld themselves into an always-on condition. They're ok for things that require very intermittent cycling, but if I want halfway decent temperature control the relay will exceed its lifetime on/off limit in a few weeks of use. The aforementioned Amazon reviewer says his unit self-destructed in less than a month.Anyone have a similar outlet controller that definitely uses solid-state relays and won't weld itself internally within a month?
>>108753577anons will have to go back to sitting on glass jarsgrim
>>108758517neat, i like that compact design.. i think anon was referring to the knife
>>108760819this was like 2 years ago. it was from the huge cutesliving store which regularly gave 10-15% off coins (in fact i bought my current entry level poco phone from there for $100) and teclast was churning out like 5 models at a time at breakeven pricesbought this one for my dad because he wanted the smaller T50 but what i should've done was buy this one and the T60 for myself to act as a third monitor using spacedesk

>>108762428the knoife is a genuine ultratech and is probably the most expansive thing on my desk. I don't think it can be imported into the EU. Even in the US an automatic knoife longer than 3+" requires a cpl to carry it in some states. I do think Eu anons are able to get a license for the crab though I'm not too sure what body regulates such crustacean affairs.
Anyone got any suggestions for a mini tripod for holding a microphone grip? Doesn't need to even lift it off the ground, just hold the grip. Ball head would be good too.How are the chinese for microphones anyway? I'm going to get a Behringer EMC8000 but it's not too late for me to get something else.
>>108763462Don't know about mic tripods but Ulanzi make the best bang for the buck mini tripods for cameras (mt 16) so perhaps they make mic tripods as well
>>108752559It was never truly good. Mostly a meme and somewhat fun to participate in something so ridiculous
>>108763508You can use camera tripods for microphones no problem. These Ulanzi ones look great. Thanks man.

>>108763336>requires a cpl carry a livewirefuck that
>>108769856It's not strictly the case, and many laws around them have been relaxed but state to state varies in terms of deployment, length and what constitutes as "concealed". It's all at the officer's perogative should it come down to it, and often a cpl helps in that direction.

I am looking for a tablet primarily for vertical browsing and watching videos, movies, tv shows and anime. I was originally set on the oneplus pad 2 because the specs are incredible for the price, and it feels very future-proof. also, I’ve had a great experience with my oneplus phone’s longevity and clean operating system. however, I’m concerned about the 7:5 aspect ratio, which creates large black bars when watching stuff.now, I’m considering the xiaomi poco pad m1 for $160 less. while the oneplus has better specs and display and I trust oneplus more than xiaomi, the poco’s 16:10 aspect ratio is better for watching stuff. should I go for the poco pad m1?

>>108774461you can get 62 36 2, while more expensive is just way better, specially the mechanical strenght.like i dont know you but i do repair many fucking usb ports barrels and shit
>>108774564>€My guess would be region blocked.
>>108774620Fucking EU. I just want to stock up before July.Actually even this soldering paste got just geo blocked.
Speaking of solder why hasn't the chink cloned low temp solder like chipquik yet?
Since ali's shipping has been a mess and the amount of simultaneous ongoing projects is a clusterfuck, it feels like every day is csg package day.more boring things:heatset inserts heat and insert, to no one's surprise.50mm long 8mm diameter rods are precisely those dimensions.LM8UU bearings are greasy and ride smoothly on said rods. I only needed one, the other 9 are going in to storage where they will never be seen again.2mm thermal pads that I no longer need.hidance usb-c tester. best feature about is that it is bidirectional. beyond that , it works decently enough from the two minutes I played with it.micro-usb-b to usb-c converter boards. The board is set up to that it can be soldered to the same pads that a micro-usb connector was desoldered from. two variants included for both micro usb orientations, and they even have the 5.1k resistors. the connection looks like it might be weak unless reinforced with a throughole lead or something.Rin. I don't know what happened, six months ago I didn't own a single one of these figurines now I own two. It's a concerning trend. I am not a weeb. anyways, looks nice. the "solo" branding on the stove is upside down. was not expecting the book, cup, table, pot, lantern, stove, thermos, and table to come along as well but they're appreciated.
Can anon please recommend me a GOOD soldering iron for hopefully under $100 and is good for detailed work? I have to replace a lot of caps and try to repair some old computers
>>108776302>under $100you might not need to spend that much if you're going chink shit, for $100 you can get a genuine hakko f888d or a yihua soldering station with hot air included. keep in mind you will need more than just the soldering iron.For chinkshit, there's the TS101/pinecil if you're willing to deal with usb-c shenanigans and a Gibbon t22C (?) that I've seen cropping in a few places with people recommending it. Might be shills.There's also the ANENG SL106 if you want something sub $10. A few threads ago an anon demonstrated how even cheap soldering irons are good now, hopefully someone can raze the archives and find it. Whatever iron you get check to see what tips it comes with, if it doesn't come with any additional ones check back in to see if anons can help you find the right tips to buy.You will need flux and solder. 37/63 flux core in .5mm works best, but it appears the EU has started restricting it's import because lead might make euros retarded or something. I've heard though not confirmed that they're also looking at banning most common types of brass. People have found success with Mechanic's leaded 63/37 solder. I wouldn't fall for "silver" solder from ali if you want to fuck around with audio equipment and see it recommended. For flux, M35 gets recommended a lot but I find it a bitch to clean up and it's...sticky. I like flux pens and kester 186 though those come with their own set of limitations as far as reliability and finding them on chinksites. Regardless, M35 does work.You will also want a desoldering pump and braid. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256808718301256.html linkrel seems to be an exact copy of an engineer pump that I have, and there's no reason it wouldn't work just as well.For braid, honestly, whatever braid. you'll have to cut it to length and use flux anyways.You will also want some type of workholding. Hopefully someone else can chime in with this as I just use a vise from harbor freight.
>>108776644Thank you anon. I want a Hakko f888dx but prices are at a point where I wonder if its just better to get a chink station that has good compatible tips or if the Hakko really is that reliable for a first good station. Are used Hakkos good? And I've heard it stated that an F888DX is just too big for some of the more delicate smd components. So part of me was thinking of getting a Pinecil and just waiting for a potential sale on a Hakko?As for hot air, I don't know if a $15 hot air station from Amazon is good enough. I picked up M35 since I saw it being talked about in the thread. Better get some lead solder before US might restrict it too.
>>108776685>>108776644>archiveFound it.https://desuarchive.org/g/thread/107143080/#107169118I wouldn't recommend cheaping out on hot air. keep in mind that with air you'e got three different controls. It's air temperature, air speed/amount, and nozzle size.
>>108776685>US might restrict it too.we're already retarded, there's no need. Only way leaded solder would be banned in the US is if it were somehow be found to be antisemitic.https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806094252015.html

Any userscripts or extensions that make clicking on an aliexpress item actually open the fucking item page instead of some bundle deal page where you need to scroll for 5 minutes to find the actual item you clicked on?
what are the /csg/ recommended gaymen micr and mousepads
I'm losing coins so fast. Every month is a net loss. Used to be the other way around. 15000 expire this month. That's almost half my stash. At this rate I'll be coin broke in a few months.Oh well, not like they're useful anymore. I don't even see the 100% off silk panties anymore.
it do be like that
>>108778806honestly any generic mousepad would dojust make sure they have stitching and the mat itself should be pretty thickelse the rubber/whatever material base would melt fastheck some of them might offer custom prints too
>>108753546Same here. I does not block all the items though.If they don't want to sell them to me it's their loss, I'm not going to give a copy of my id to a fucking chink.
>>108767182basedI'll give it a shot then
Can I get into legal trouble for uploading this as my id on aliexpress?
Why is the Temu website so shit? I really wanted to order a replacement housing for a Gamecube that I just bought that's in rough shape. They were selling it far cheaper than the usual suspects, aliexpress, SEA marketplaces, etc. I looked again today and the price was insanely low with a voucher they are offering so I wanted to order it so bad. I tried clicking on the item and it takes me to a page that says it's sold out. I thought they bait and switched me. Then I realized I can add it to the cart and check out so I did. I tried clicking on other items and they all say sold out too. What a shit website. But can't argue with the price of around $12 for that.
>>108779237buying from temu is like playing the stock market. i saw some ddr4 ram right at the start of the rampocalyse and the price jumped like $10 a week per stick to $20 and it just doubled, it was the most ungodly shit i've seen in some time
>>108779501I got some insane deals on Chinese RAM from random ass brands just before then too. I was making sure the new office PCs we put out could cope with Win 11 bloat.
anyone got any smart bulb they could recommend? I want to sleep better
>>108779884Do you have to get bulbs? I had the same thought before but I couldn't get a good one working. Finally I bought some smart switches and plug my lamp into those instead. I think it ended up being a more versatile solution anyway
>>108779884>I want to sleep betterhave you tried turning the lights off?
>>108780345My lamp is a retarded green only LED bulb>>108780368it's for the couple hours before I go to sleep
>>108779884I use one from yeelight. It's been working fine for like two years now save for the massive hassle when I change my wifi password.
>>108779884I used these things for a couple years but realised they were actually worse overall.>Even warm tints blast your room with other light tints as part of how they blend colors>Direct sight of LEDs in dark environs is not good for your eyes>Using your phone to adjust the lights just gives you another excuse to pick up your phoneLiterally just get some ultra-low lumen, warm tint globes. If you dont want to walk to the wall switch then get a bedside lamp with a shade large enough to prevent you looking directly at the bulb and help diffuse the light. I found fairy light globes were quite low in total brightness.Ideally you should be spending at least 30 minutes before bed with zero electronics and using your damn phone to make the globe red or pink or strobe like an ambulance every 5 minutes isn't going to help.
>>108779580gratties. i saw 2x8gb sticks for $60 and stupidly decided to wait for topcb/shopback to do their 50% promo and missed it
>>108774644I think Aliexpress is scamming everyone again. The new law in Mexico makes 19% in taxes but the 550 pesos became 880 pesos. That’s a 64% increase for no reason.
Anyone else's packages getting a "handling problem at airport" issue? Ali recommends refunding. EU btw
>>108760085that's like $80 too much, it's a toy made to look like a SOTA quadruped robot to trick dumb people
Talk me out of wasting 2 weeks of time
>>108778806for mousepads anything will do as long as the edges are stitched and at least 3mm thickthey will all have a distinct rubber smell but if you air it out for a day it goes away i got a redragon mmo mouse which im pretty happy with
>>108781106my package is stuck in some Eu warehouse for 6 days now... i think they will send it back
>>108781106I've had no problem in northern eu, have loads of packages coming in this month thanks to the eutards.
>>108782273what is gonna change for EU? are they gonna tax everything now?
>>108782341As far as I understand, at the latest July 1st all eu countries must have introduced a new tax/fee/whatever, 3 euros per product type, so if you order for example a usb cable, a dildo and a hitler lego figure you have to pay 9 euros extra for that, And then depending on what eutard country you are in, you can expect the postal service to take out a "handling fee" of perhaps 7-10 euros (they did this in my cunt back when they tried to punish chang enjoyers in 2018 or so). So basically order everything you need for the next couple of years now in may so you get it in june at the latest. Later on the changs will probably come up with something to skirt around it but the prices will probably increase even if they do.
>>108782391wow the EU is really trying to kill Ali and probably Temu.but like you said chang will always find a way to chink the EU
>>108782391What if you buy something like a full mic setup, do you have to pay separately for the mic, the dac, the stand, the pop filter etc. even if it's all one listing?
>>108782411>but like you said chang will always find a way to chink the EUMost of Taobao agents got Tax Free-shipping methods to EU, so let's skip paying VAT altogether.I wouldn't mind of paying customs duty via IOSS, as electronics are 0%, but screw that static 3€ fee.
>>108745483are there any recommended sellers for USB flash drives?
Crucial stuff
>>108782391>>108782420its per tax code, not product type, so it depends.and what will happen is that most shit will be distributed from europe warehouses.that is the point, simplifying logistics and customsindividual packages from china is a deeply retarded idea.
>>108782769The store of the actual brand that made them, if possible. Otherwise buy from a legit retailer so you do not want to kys.
Anyone try office chair replacement wheels? I saw them in recommended and thinking of giving them a shot. $24 for a set of 5I got wooden floors and the standard ones kind of ware out the floor after a while and requiring bit of sanding/polishing. These skater style ones seem like they'll be way better and fun.
With the EU parcel tax coming into force from July I will be doing one massive order in early June
>>108785371those are nice, but they still get cable tanglesthe single wheel per wheel are beter for the cable tangles, but i think way more expensiveanything is better than regular office wheels
>>108785416> anything is better than regular office wheelsWas thinking the same thing, and good point about cablesThanks anon
>>108779884just get any low watt rgb bulb with a remote from amazon or aliexpress and set it to a dim red light
anyone ever try these mystery metal low temp brazing rods?i just need to stick two pieces of iron together for a DIY project and i don't do it frequently enough to need an actual welder.
>>108785909those low temp brazes are pretty weak, you want silver shit for strength, or regular if you dont need tons of strengthso it depends on what are you doingso tell us, or even better ask in /diy/
>>108785371I have the single wheel variant and I like them a lot. They are make the chair flowy, but I will rather have flowy chair than getting the wheels jammed up by dust alone. These make the chair taller. And make sure you order the correct version, because there are 11mm and 10mm stems.
Im looking for a mouse for my BIG hands which would be wide enough so my pinky doesnt drag on the mousepad. Bought an E-Yosoo X31 but its not wide enough either. Maybe a mad catz rat8+ copy or something with a wing for the pinky.
>>108785973just sticking two flat bars together for added strength to use up some scrap i have instead of buying the proper thickness.basically just need it to act like glue but for metal.
>>108786135have you considered screws or rivets?also many epoxy works on metal
>>108786150i need it to stick across the entire length and don't feel like drilling a shit ton of holes through iron and then buying the hardware for it which isn't cheap.i was hoping this would be stronger than epoxy, i have JB weld so i'll probably just use that if these brazing rods are no good.
>>108785371>>108785974i bought 2x 500x100cm mats for $7 from coinshttps://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008953240335.html

Are mmo mice a meme, and does chang make any good ones? I just feel like I don't have the muscle memory anymore to play keyboard and mouse games that use lots of different keys and something like a mmo mouse would help with that.
>>108791597>keyboard and mouse games that use lots of different keyssuch as? most games are limited in inputs because of gamepads
>>108791597Changs only make 1 version that is heavy and lack futures. For gaming apart from older MMOs they are rather shit. For work I'm using Aerox 9 (it's trash btw don't buy it) and I have lots of shortcuts and macros there, depends what u need. But next time I would buy Razer naga, Aerox 9 is trash in many areas, and chink stuff from AliExpress with 2010s gamer aesthetic doesn't look good

>>108785371I have >>108785974. They do make the chair much easier to push around. But they don't help with small position adjustments which was the main reason I got them, so I ended up kinda disappointed. They don't do anything to help with floor wear either. >>108788647Hasn't happened to mine yet but they've got all kinda gunk stuck in there now. They shouldn't have used that exposed bearing design.
>>108774056Sometimes plastic screws are better if you have a light duty task where you're trying to reduce vibrations. For example, you can use them for PC fans, because they aren't a heavy load and it slightly reduces the noise transmitted into the case.
Does ali really not sell batteries for the xbox one controller? I can find covers, chargers, dongles and entire controllers but no batteries.

>>108794678in what hellhole do you live?
>>108794840Denmark. Why they won't show batteries for controllers but are fine with camera batteries is a mystery.
>>108794858probably because your country requires batteries form China to have some kind of safety standards certificate, so you wont see 90% of chang batteries
>>108752559my gongtian fan is still going strong the batery has died tho so i power it directly through the charging port
>>108793844I use silicone nubs for those.
>>108794961That works too. I needed to mount some fans on the underside of my GPU during a deshroud and I would have worried about these falling off, but I've never tried them. Maybe it'd have been fine. What do you reckon?
>>108795095They're a lot stronger than they look. There are a few different shapes too. The kind in the pic work fine as long as you just need it to be flush against a standard sized fan screw hole.

Today I learned that when you buy one of those dirt cheap external USB CD/DVD drives it's just an old one they harvested from some e-waste laptop put into a generic USB enclosure. The drive I had looks pretty beat up/ugly but you would never know looking at it from the enclosure alone. I can't complain because it was less than $10 and I ripped so many CDs with it. I only took it out of service because I replaced the drive with one that does bluray today too.
>>108798399would explain why i got so many external disk drives die on me super quickly
>>108798412The move would be to get a dirt cheap external enclosure off aliexpress then find a slim bluray drive from Japan. They're a bit more tricky to find elsewhere and a premium is being charged for them. Also if you go on aliexpress and look for a "bluray" drive you'll often see comments from people who got chinked saying the drive they were sold only reads DVDs and CDs. The yen being so weak means I keep mixing chinkshit with nipshit these days.
>>108797108Do they officially come with sd cards, or has the seller just bundled some cheap trash ones he found to make it seem like a better deal?
>>108797108Its recomended, im still using the one that came with x4 but you never know when will die

>>108799572>Most people dont need one.i thought i didn't either but i bought one on a whim just to increase my cart high enough to use a better discount code and you wouldn't believe how much shit comes off your tongue.>>108798399if that's the case you could probably skip the chinks and just buy an e-waste tier laptop with a dvd drive off ebay for 15 bucks and just harvest the drive.my old ass laptop from 2013 releases the entire dvd drive from one screw and you can just plug it in through SATA on any computer.
>>108799774Well I needed a drive and an enclosure for the short term. The enclosure got reused for this bluray drive I just obtained for $22 that's in a lot better condition, but only 2 years older.

>>108802094Thank you so much anon, I was about to request for AliExpress links. Have a lovely day/night!
>>108802152Also got one of these long brushes to clean some hard to reach areas, but it inevitably got misappropriated as a cat toy.Its pretty solid thanks to the metal core, but the bristles are long and sturdy enough that I can't really hurt my cat with it. So I can wave it around making lightaber sounds, and actually knock the little guy over with it, which he loves. Can't recommend it enough for 3 dollars."cepillo limpiador" on Aliexpress
>>108802208I kind of prefer these ODI Elite knockoffs to the originals. OGs got that sticky soft rubber, while the knockoffs use a harder plasticy rubber material. Only downside I found was the lockon bolts being made of butter so they started stripping the second I went above 5Nm torque, which is overkill for grips I guess but the bolts on my old grips could handle that all day long. 12 euro vs almost 30 for the originals is a steal though, especially since these feel like they'll last three times as long before they wear out (ODI grips lasted me 5 years)Name is ODI Pro Black on Ali
