>mice discussion in last thread
Any recommendations for a wired mouse? Yes, I'm aware that wireless mice uses very little power and lasts for months, but I'm tired of having yet another wireless device that I gotta recharge/replace the battery. Currently, I'm using a generic office supply, run of the mill Dell mouse.

>>110300903
I'm fairly sure you can use most of the wireless mice wired (via USB-C).
Though I'm not sure how well, I have the VXE ATK R1 and in wired mode it stutters and is generally a pain to use. But I'm sure there's others that don't. Might be worth considering, unfortunately wireless has become so dominant that most don't bother to make a wired mouse that's also high quality. Hence the only wired mice you still see are bottom of the barrel trash.

>>110300903
try to look into ones that have optical switches
and then try to read into whatever other basket weaving forum (4ch archives, plebbit whatever)'s reviews on it

>>110300917
I've been using the Vxe Dragonfly R1 Pro Max for 2.5 years and I'd say it's a perfect device.
I understand the fatigue with charging devices, but this mouse genuinely doesn't contribute to it.
Every few weeks, a red light comes on, I plug in for a few hours until I remember it's plugged in and that's it.
Cabled also works great, I can't say I've ever noticed a difference, or a single stutter in mouse movement or connection.

I need to spend an extra 4 euros for a coupon and I've already gotten everything I need, any suggestions anons?

It would appear I am a retard.
Your post is completely different from my experience, so I thought for a sec what it could be and I never unplug the receiver when I connect the USB cable, I just plug it in and leave it at that.
Turns out it works perfectly. The stuttering just happens when both receiver and cable are connected and they try to send the input at the same time.
How I haven't thought of this before your post I do not know. Astonishing.

>>110301374
You can get those travel mini kalimbas for 4€. But they kinda suck when you can get a proper one for 10.
Do you have some kitchen appliance or something that needs replacement/maintenance stuff? Filters, coffee machine cleaners, dust bags? That kind of stuff you can often get for cheap on ali.
Alterantively the mechanic Aax-17 tweezers cost pretty exactly 4€. They are really well made.

>>110301525
Oh yeah, I unplug the receiver, plug my phone into the usb-c cable and it's no issues. I never even considered doing it another way lmao.

The tweezers look cool, thanks for the req.

>>110301525

That's not normal for that model, the chink seller fucked you

>>110301639
>i assume you use an 8k receiver for your VXE?
Nope the one it comes with (I think that's the 1k?). I never got the obsession over higher polling rates, I know a game can technically process mouse input inbetween frames, but at 1k I'm already at 6 refreshes per frame. I do need more. What I do notice however is the lower battery life on higher refresh rates.
>>110301622
>The tweezers look cool, thanks for the req.
You're welcome. They've served me well. Though note that they are not bodyhair tweezers, they are quite pointy/sharp.
>>110301659
>That's not normal for that model, the chink seller fucked you
The circle of life then. It works amazing all the other time so I'm not mad. Might also be a software thing with linux or something where having both receiver and cable connected doesn't properly pick the cable. It's infrequent enough I didn't really care before, and now with the option to just unplug the receiver it's even less of an issue kek.

>>110301525
>Turns out it works perfectly. The stuttering just happens when both receiver and cable are connected and they try to send the input at the same time.
That's odd, most mouse firmwares just kill wireless if you connect it to a PC through USB

Good to know, especially that the mouse is still usable with cable. My normal desktop usage is mostly web browsing, some drawing, and maybe some gaming. I'm aiming for long battery usage before needing to recharge (but not heavily compromising performance), 1K polling would be good enough for these activities, right?

yikes good that i bought before euro took a massive dump

>>110301824
>1K polling would be good enough for these activities, right?
I play shooters with it and never felt the need to get a better receiver, so yes. Unless you're doing competitive e-sports it's mostly a marketing gimmick in my opinion (potentially even then kek).
To be fair I don't play many reaction shooters (CS, Valo, that type of game). I mostly play milsims. Even the only extraction shooter I play isn't reflex based (Hunt showdown), so I'll admit I might just not notice. For anything except high level competitive, 1k is more than enough.
>Anon(s) with the ATK R1, when did you brought yours and has it held up well to this day?
I bought the R1 Pro Max pretty much 1 year ago (November 24th 2025). Absolutely zero issues so far. I came from a G502 Hero and do quite like the upgrade. I also like that it doesn't have those soft plastic sides that the G502 has, which always degraded for me (I replaced the shell twice for that). Hardplastic on the R1 has zero degradation so far.
>How is the battery life before needing to recharge?
Like a few weeks if you use it daily and long hours. It's really not that bad. And as we said, you can recharge while using it, so I just have the USB-C cable loosely on my desk and plug it in when it complains.
>Also, links?
I got mine from the ATK website, because they cost like 2€ more than on Ali and it came with a "gift" (I was hoping it was gonna be like replacement slides or something). Instead it was some cringe keychain charm that doubled as an ad, kek.

Just for reference, here's a live recording of it. That's not the video stuttering, it's the mouse lagging. (happens twice, once in the beginning, once in the end).
Thankfully without receiver plugged in it works fine.

there are no sales ending today right?

i can wait till the 18th right?

>>110302040
that is fucking weird
did you plug your receiver on the back of your mobo?
i dont remember where i watched it but try plugging it on the front of your cpu case/chassis or use an usb extender (probably from DiamondLobby)
ive used my ATK wired whilst the dongle plugged in and never experienced that

>>110302124
the entire month is a sale. we had a refractionary period in 22-24th last year but this year is full on sale every day and possibly another game/event happening next week (i think it's merge boss related)

>>110302040
nta but my best guess is polling rate is too high for your shitty sata bandwidth on your computer. my mouse bought in 2026 does this as well to my old optiplex and in the usb plugged into my lenovo laptop. BT mode is smooth and perfect though.
i've opted for a wired mouse for my gaming because of this.

>>110302222
I doubt it because as I said wireless works without issues, wired works without issues, only when I have both plugged in does it complain. Anyhow, it's such a non-issue I wouldn't even mention it normally, it's just that the topic was already on it.
>>110302124
You can wait until the 18th. There's gonna be small fluctuations day to day for prices, but no one can say in which direction, so don't rush to buy something.
>>110302172
>did you plug your receiver on the back of your mobo?
Nope, front USB. At the back of the mobo it has connection issues. This is specifically some interaction between the wired mode and the receiver kek.

Thanks for the rundown. Based on the specs, it uses mechanical switches. Should I be worried about what >>110301011 said, double clicking? But maybe it's something overstated, yours is about 1 year old and no issues (besides having wired/receiver both active) and the anon with Dragonfly R1 Pro Max for 2.5 years.

I probably need to order a bigger USB hub too, unfortunately running out of slots.

I have absolutely no idea, all I can say is that anecdotally mine is fine.
People said double clicking was a big issue with logitech mice, but I had 2 before this ATK mouse (G500, G502) and neither had issues.
I don't doubt that it can happen, but the ATK mice aren't known to be more flaky or risky than any other mouse on the market, so I'd say don't worry about it. Chances are slim and if it does happen you can always solder in new switches, it's one of the easier repairs to do.

>>110302678
just a schizo on my end because my ATK U2 didnt even last a year without double clicking already

It's not a sex toy if that's what you're asking. These things fold open flat and you can sit on them.
If you want a silicone butt, buy a silicone butt. If you want a furry silicone butt, seek god (I don't think they sell it on ali, though I haven't checked)
Utterly useless in my experience, if you must (for back issues) get one of those inflatable orthopedic balls to sit on or some shit.

Of course. We have thousands of potential founders here after all.
Thankfully these tariffs disproportionately affect people buying many small things, which is something you do not need when you prototype new products or want to create something new.
Oh wait.

The worst part is there's not even really any excuse for it given. I'm fine with taking away the subsidies that make it so chinese sellers can ship for less money than domestic sellers. Fair enough, remove those subsidies. I'm all for it.
Then came the 2€ charge per customs category (which are fairly arbitrary) with the excuse of "it's a stopgap until we have our shit together and have a customs system that works" - Always pleasant when your government is like "ayo we fucked up our job so now we want more money until we fix it", but whatever, I could live with that probably.
But then the 3€ per packet charge additionally with the excuse of "we want less packages lmao get fucked" is what's radicalizing me ffs. No idea if that one is even temporary like the 2€ charge. The way I know these fuckers it's gonna be another forever tax because why the hell would they willingly turn of the moneyspout.

Okay fine I'll get a second back up set

What budget keyboard brands should I be looking at? I have an 8bitdo keyboard that I like well enough, the only thing I changed was switches to have something that isn't as noisy (to not bother others), but as I move between two locations somewhat frequently I want a second keyboard so that I have one less thing to carry around.

Us layout, having a numpad would be nice but but a requirement. Wireless support, both 2.4GHz and Bluetooth with good battery life. For work and gaming, I prefer some tactile feeling but hope it's not too noisy. Maybe leds for when I use it in the dark and would be fine with a single color, I certainly won't use puke colors.

I guess something within 50-100 usd would be fine

Haute42's products have yet to disappoint me, but be aware that the s13/16 have a smaller footprint than an a4 sheet of paper, meaning the layout is pretty cramped. No real estate to rest your wrists, so you'll probably want it on a desk or something. That said, they're responsive and highly configurable, and not at all a bad buy if you're looking to test out leverless without sinking too much money in

>>So... Is it over? we're fucked? no workarounds for this?
Your options were to do political action when it was decided, so yes for now it's fucked. The 3$ one is here for the next 2 years, then should get phased out (if they do is another question). If you want to create political pressure, don't focus on the temporary one, focus on the other fee which is supposed to stay and get "re-evaluated" in 2 years.
For a realistic act, though it won't help much, google who your representatives in EU parliament are and send them an e-mail. Don't be a retard, write it well, be friendly, try to argue such that they believe the change to be in their interest (e.g. the fees are prohibitive for different small items, therefore both stifling economic activity, as founders and people still learning need access to cheap items to experiment before they get funding (e.g. electronics, robotics, drones, just pick something that sounds important) while also being an ecologic net-negative: The eu has a lot of laws to allow people to repair their own stuff to make things last longer, but what's the point if the parts to repair items cost so much you might as well get a new item?
An easy fix is to keep the fees on consumer goods, as we probably don't want some items, but to make exceptions for other categories such as replacement parts or components.
I've written to my representatives twice before about encryption and backdoor stuff. I usually get a few e-mail back. Doubt much comes from it, but it's at least something I've done. One of them changed their voting behavior since, but I doubt that's because of my email kek.

Is it gonna fix it? Probably not. But it's better than just complaining about it and doing nothing.

is this the paypal discount people are talking about?

Feeling cute, might buy a paper shredder. Any notable chinkshit or should I just buy the most recommended on Amazon?

>>110312494
Yes. There's a daily redemption limit.

And maybe a per account one too.

>>110312737
Paper shredders are bulky, unless you find one without the bucket, so probably not well suited for buying from ali.

If you get one, look for how much paper it's rated. There's a big difference between a shredder that can shred 1-2 pages, one that can shred 5, and ones that can shred cardboard. You will jam or break yours if you overload it.

Hello /g/ I'm wandering in from /lit/, and I thought you'd be the ones to ask. I'm looking to get a really cheap 11" tablet to pair with a Bluetooth keyboard. My use case is typing manuscripts and rough drafts on the go or over my lunch break. I tried using my phone with Google Docs, but my phone got too laggy above ~75k words. Plus, I'd like more screen real-estate. The tablet doesn't have to be "good" it only needs to handle a word processor or Google Docs. I don't plan to use it for much else.

What brand and model would you recommend? I already have the keyboard.

Thanks, /g/ seems fun to visit.

>>110313188
You'll probably want a redmi pad 2. ~150€ for the 9.4" version on ali, or 160€ for the xiaomi version on their own website:
https://www.mi.com/global/product/redmi-pad-2/
(this is the global store, it should redirect to your local one, prices may vary a little.)
Unlike some of the other shit, a xiaomi tablet will actually be a good tablet, a lot of the cheaper may have issues with processing power etc. (Redmi is xiaomi's line for more value-centric/broke customers).

If you really want to go even cheaper:
The Teclast T65 exists, but no idea if that's any good. Bigger screen, but I'd assume worse processor.
You can also look into cheap lenovo or samsung tablets. Sometimes, though rarely, you may get lucky with a well timed sale and they might be cheaper than a xiaomi one.

>but my phone got too laggy above ~75k words
That's a little concerning, I see no reason why it should if it's literally just docs, but if your phone isn't super shit that sounds more like a software issue. A cheap tablet won't have more processing power than your average phone.

One last word of caution: Xiaomi and redmi products come with a little bit of bloatware (their own apps). You can just ignore that and you aren't locked into using them, normal playstore is usable and will give you any app you need on android, but you should know about it. You can technically root them, but they're a little bit of a pain to do so. Then again you seem like you don't want a project or a tech adventure, but just a tablet that is light and allows you to write, and for that they should be ideal.

Good luck with the writing anon.

>>110312751
alright gonna f5 tomorrow morning

>>110313355
Thank you! I think it must be a software side issue, because I'm using a Galaxy S25+, and it lagged no differently than the phone I had even before that. I wonder if there's been a Google side update, should check again. I appreciate the suggestions.

To the uncle anon in the previous thread asking for gift ideas for his nieces- get them some handheld digital microscopes!

>>110315267
This. Got my kid the same one, good deal, great build quality. Can take pictures, the zoom is easy to use, and they'll constantly be looking for new stuff and then showing others what they found.

>>110312179
Maybe someone will get desparate enough to start collecting sand and processing that into basic ore. Eventually they'll progress from primitive industrial process to refined 21st century microchip fabrication. It will of course be 100% clean processes and not cause various cancers to the local townsfolk. Some day there will be an /eushit/ general.

>>110315267
I appreciate the idea anon. Two of them already have that type of magnifier for bugs and observing nature, so unfortunately it's not gonna be an option, but if they did not this would be a great gift.

I settled for sets of LEDs, coin-cells, cardboard and conductive fabric tape. I'll print out some instructions with it, the goal is that first they can make a very simple electrical circuit and give e.g. a drawing of theirs glowing eyes or something. Then I added challenges, with the goal of teaching them the basics of circuitry:
- Craft a push button (fold cardboard onto itself with contacts on each side)
- Make two LEDs glow with one Battery (Series/parallel)
- Craft a switch (paperclip+pin with contacts you move it onto)
That way they can craft their own greetings cards or monsters or whatever they want, make it glow and learn about electronics while at it.
I suspect they'll like it because all of them love drawing and crafting.
In addition to it they get some "invisible ink" pens with UV lights and notebooks, so they can play spy and send secret messages.

My second idea was 3 kalimbas. I have one and I'd wager I can teach them the intro to Louis' Armstrong's "la vie en rose" in a single sitting. Instruments (that don't suck) are usually also good for development. I got the electronics crafting stuff for this year, because the youngest of the older ones might get a little frustrated and I want to take advantage of the electronics idea while they still like crafting. The oldest will go into the next school, so she might be "too cool" for crafting soon.

But the idea is great, as >>110315572 also said. They use theirs to explore the outdoor world and that's always good.

I bought a new LED+board and swapped the emitter on my chinky 1AA flashlight. It went from shitty cold blue ~6500K to super warm high CRI 2700K. I have become comfy.

I locked the white balance at 5000K for the comparison, but I forgot to lock the shutter and ISO. They're still pretty close. It's likely slightly less bright with the warmer LED but it's single mode so that's actually a plus.

My niece liked this cat pouch. I haven't seen her use it in a while though. She probably grew out of it.

Anyone have experience with repairing phones with non original displays?
A working Pixel 7 is worth like 200e, but a new display for it costs about the same.
I thought about buying some cheap replacement display just so the phone is usable for the camera.

>>110318579
https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Google+Pixel+7+Screen+Replacement/154753

Doesn't look too bad, but also far from trivial, a few nasty areas where it's easy to damage stuff if you don't pay attention when removing the display adhesive. Read the guide, then follow along it and you should be able to do it. (If you don't already have guitar picks, suction cups and a plastic lever, might be worth getting one for this.) They suggest using their own products of course, but I always use a heat gun instead of their iOpener thingy and never had issues.

>>110317729

>>110318579
you should try it. LCD oem replacement is around $20, hairdryer to melt off the original glue from the frame, clean it with iso alc and repaste the new screen with b7000 glue. super cheap and you can't really mess it up.

on this boosting game, if i redeem coin credits with 440 coins, do i then lose those 440 coins?

is it worth it when some items give you 40% discount with those same coins?

>>110320343
these stack - you can use both coin credits and coin discounts on the same order potentially making it free

>>110320383
but if i only have say 1000 coins, is it worth swapping out the 440? for £4 of credit or use them for coin discounts instead?
I've currently got 934 coins giving me £7.12 off my order.

>>110320759
yes, swap them out. coin credits only last for the remainder of the event while actual coins will last for 6 months.
if you don't exchange them now you've essentially wasted them

>>110320784
i'm just confused anon
if i swap 440 coins for £4 credit, then I only have 540 coins left.
Those 540 coins would give me a smaller discount on my total order than the current 934 is giving me, no?
Yes there are coin credits but they give me about £4

>>110320839
so the #1 ideal case is that you use the maximum amount of coin credits and coins in the same order to get the thing as cheap possible. you can't do this because you don't have enough coins to do both.
the next best thing you can do now is swap the 440 coins out for credits, then use the remainder 500 coins in the order.

let's say that you don't use any coin credit in this order and use 940 coins purely to take off 7.12 pounds.....what happens to the coin credits? well it'll still be there, untouched and unable to be used.
here, you'll both be out 940 coins AND your 440 coin credits will be unused.

>>110320876
>what happens to the coin credits? well it'll still be there, untouched and unable to be used
Sorry if I'm not following but if I use my 940 coins, then I won't have any coin credits right? So nothing would go unused/untouched. I don't have any coin credits rn.
I might just do it and hope for the best.

>>110320931
if you don't have any coin credits then you're fine to use all your real coins on the order.
essentially, you want to end this event with 0 coin credit.

>>110320951
thank you anon
I wonder which would work out cheaper, converting or not but I'm not sure I want to take the risk to find out.

>>110320966
you're all good. it's a bit difficult to visualize or reconcile, but generally if you have 2 currencies each with different expiry, you'll want to use up the ones which will expire first.

>>110320991
Cheers. I placed the order and just used up my 1000 or so coins without converting them to credits. I got 110 coins or so back from placing the orders, which means I now have 445 coins to convert to credit of £3.60.
So maybe I should have just converted in the first place.

My first order was meant to be a £20 order. I spent £60.
Now I feel compelled to make another because of the credits.
T..thanks Ali.

>Unfortunately they're often still caught though. And aren't all packages taxed anyway? Even if a "friend" sent you something declared as "gift" or "junk", you're gangbanged?
They will ship your package to Amsterdam and then reship via DHL, so for you it shows up as usual German parcel. Of course they could get caught during first part, but so far so good.
