I have the wired version.
But wireless will have similar issues.
Rubber grips will start to disintegrate after 2-3 years, this will also apply to the scroll wheel.
It's rather heavy, wireless more so.
Both LMB and RMB are very loud. At least those switches should not fail as much as on G502.
It's still comfy mouse but wireless version is clearly overpriced.
Battery life will depend on your polling rate but you should get over 100h easily.

I've complained about this before but I feel like doing it again. I'm really upset I did not buy a 5080 back in Feb 2026 when I was building based on the fuckers saying "5080 is the worst price to value card in history!!" and "only a 5-10% gain in things like gaming bro! not worth!". at the time, prices were $950 for a 5070ti and $1200-1300 for a 5080. My usecase is mainly doing 3D where the extra cuda cores are actually significant too. I went with the 5070ti and have regretted it ever since. Fuck yall and fuck reddit.

A friend of mine wants to get back in to hosting LANs, and to this end wants to commission 4 PCs. I want to try to balance price, size, power and noise. I'm not super worried about performance, because I'm sure virtually anything from the past decade or so should be powerful enough for the games that'd be getting played.
My inclination is something like the Asus ExpertCenter PN54 since they can easily be mounted behind the monitor with a bracket, making breakdown and storage much easier. I'd like to hear from others with more experience in this area though. My friend doesn't need any of these to serve as a primary gaming PC, he already has a 7800X3D + 4090 build that I built for him.

>$950 for a 5070ti and $1200-1300 for a 5080
That slightly makes me feel better about buying the 5070ti at 1180. It was one of the cheapest options at the time but the 5080 was about 16-1700 at the time and I was told the same thing about the 5080 not being worth it. I don't regrwt it (yet) cuz its doing well in vidya but I do have an active interest in using the gpu for local models and I've already been toying with the idea of getting an rtx 4000 or a6000 as a 2nd gpu kek and I'm a complete newfag at it

Take the weights out if your limp wrist can't cope. It is not a trans friendly mouse, even with it's rainbow lights.
The rubber on all Logitech mice disintegrate after a cpl years. The bottom pads are just as bad. It's how they can afford to give everyone the day off to play GTA6.
Anyway I'm happy with mine. It beats the triathlon or whatever it's called that I got a cpl months ago.

>burn in protection. If it does burn in you get a free new one
I have looked into this and people do seem to have had positive experiences with Dell (Alienware) warranty/customer support, at least in the US - not sure about Europe/rest of the world though.

Let's assume the best case scenario, I develop noticeable burn-in after ~2.5 years and I get a good/new replacement (saw a lot of people complaining about getting inferior refurbs with worse burn-in than what they sent it and had to RMA it 3-4 times) and that the new one lasts another ~2.5 years.

That's about ~5 years of OLED usage, I suppose that isn't bad but still feels wrong. The Alienware monitor I'm currently considering is €420 (has a 9% discount atm and might get cheaper during BF) so it isn't that expensive for 5 years.

Any of you bros used this before?
Ordered $1700 in pc parts but for some reason it wouldn't give me 0% APR, so I tried adding a set of Corsair 2x16gb ddr5 and it raised the order price to $2500 but enabled 0% APR.
I confirmed the order and then cancelled that specific Corsair ddr5 set, bringing my loan total back down to $1700 but since that loan was agreed to at 0% APR originally, it kept it at 0%.
Just to confirm I spoke to an Affirm representative and they told me it's locked at 0%.

Loan companies are fucking retarded but its nice getting to pay for it monthly rather than 1 lump sum at no additionally cost.

my little order was

I know it's a bad time to buy but it's probably not getting any better. I've been recommended to buy a prebuilt because apparently they're a decent deal right now. And it's also nice that I won't be able to fuck up putting it together, given I'm a total retard with no experience whatsoever in building PCs or researching parts. What should I buy?
It should be upgradeable/not have a proprietary mobo. I primarily want to use it for gaymin, but I'd like the option to mess around with AI or 3d modelling or video editing, but as far as I understand gpus that can run local models are much more expensive, right? I hear AMD is better value and is better for linux but maybe I could use a 2nd partition or try getting a vm with GPU passthrough to work with an nvidia instead. I also hear nvidia is better for AI. Also, if it's a Costco prebuilt, it has a 90 day return window in case prices drop (lol).

Just a rough guide on the current meta for midranged builds
Ryzen 5 7500f, 7600, 9600x (whichever is cheapest)
Some b850 motherboard (am5 still has 2 significant generational upgrades in zen6 and zen7 yet to be launched)
16-32gb ddr5 rated for 5600-6000mhz
1tb m.2. nvme SSD with TLC nand (e.g. sn850x, 990 pro, nm790)
800W+ atx3.1 PSU
Cheap airflow case like the lancool 207 so your parts runs cooler

I went from mx518 to this G502 X, wired. used it for 1-2 years.

The indents is, as always a dust magnet, but not a major issue. In fact I was planning on 3D printing custom stuff using the indents.

I find myself hitting the g8, g7 which changes the mouses which changes the mouse sensitivity, which is a bit annoying. Not a major issue and can without a doubt be remapped.

Pretty neutral on the thumb rest. I am not really thinking about it and suppose it works. I think I prefer it now.

It does have a bit of a plastic feel and the switch jumped off at some point, but fixed itself. I believe the screws are below the pads, which is a bit consumer hostile, and anti-repair. They probably want to make rebuying pads a thing.


I miss my hefty mx518, but I suspect that this mouse is not a bad buy. It's just that gam3rs are brainwashed into buying small 0.3 gram soap shaped mouses because muh esports. I even got cramps going from MX518 to this one, but it went away, so I am sure 90 % of gam3rs is stressing their muscles needleslly. I suspect it's still a good buy for the non-esport, but still core gamer that still want functionality.

>Nov 5 (Reuters) - About 600,000 of Nvidia's advanced artificial intelligence chips are stored in Hong Kong awaiting shipment to mainland China, two people familiar with the matter said, as Beijing withholds approval for large-scale imports despite demand from tech firms.
The size of the stockpile of H200 chips, which has not previously been reported, reflects Beijing's reluctance to increase reliance on US technology.

Yes. Air coolers could be manufactured with better materials. The problem is price to performance. Nobody want's to pay for a cooler that may not have a bracket for the next chipset released. The advantages of things like vapor chambers and exotic metals can only get you so far. The difference between a 1500 dollar air cooler and a 25 dollar air cooler are minimal. Sure a space age aircooler would be more efficient but it would take decades to make up for the price.

Buying a card based solely on raster is a fool's errand. These days many games have baked in RTX whether you like it or not. It's not 2016 anymore anon.

I always knew Nvidia was a scam. I felt it in my heart since RTX began and GTX died.

I bought a 5090 to replace my 7900xtx. There was nothing wrong with it I just didn't like the raytracing performance. I got the 5090 before the prices went insane though.

Jensen was treating AIBs ruthlessly, that's why EVGA exited the market.
NVIDIA losing Jensen isn't that big of a deal for GeForce cards, it was deprioritized anyway.

RDNA4 has FP8, better for current and future upscaling tech.

This is bad for gamers btw, Jensen was the only reason NVIDIA kept making consumer gaming GPUs to begin with, if it was up to the investors they would have stopped like 4 years ago.

NVIDIA's gaming division still consistently generates bllions in revenue, it's about the same as AMD's client CPU revenue.
They will continue to cause supply shortages of GeForce cards because they got more profitable GPUs to sell.

AAAAAAnd he's gone

I mean we knew it was going to happen. Goddamn though. This might legitimately be the end. I was still holding onto hope, not for some bubble pop because I think that's just cope, but that the craze would eventually die out and things would go back to normal.
>>
>>110310291
I suspect that nvidia GPUs will climb again, we may get one more generation (two in an absolute best case secenario), before they cut gamers off. With AMD's recent inflammatory comments about being 'AI-first', gamers will only have them for a few years more after nvidia goes AI-exclusive. They'll then try to push APUs and unified RAM build even harder, before everyone jumps off the PC game market at which point we'll be lucky to even have a streaming service for games and a terminal to run it.
>>
>>110310291
but at some point even rich people and Nvidia employees need consumer graphics card for their own pc, there's no way they're going to shut the division when they already have a monopoly on it

Are problems with Corsair PSUs common? I just had a year-and-a-half old https://www.newegg.com/corsair-sf-series-sfx-1000-w-80-plus-platinum-certified-power-supply-cp-9020257-na/p/N82E16817139332?Item=N82E16817139332 go bad and cook my graphics card, and this isn't the first time I've had problems with a Corsair PSU. I'm trying to decide if I should get it replaced, or try to get a refund and look for something else.

The bios flashback light started blinking on my asus b650 when the computer was turned off. Then the power button stopped working unless I turn off and on the PSU and quickly turn on the computer. Apparently you have to RMA the motherboard so ASSus can fix it. I have never RMA anything is it worth the hassle or do I get a new mobo?

You can mitigate the issue by switching something in the bios. But that won't solve the issue, and I don't know if the flashback thing will end up frying the entire system if I do that long-term. What should I do?

That's because you're retarded. 1440p is the current meta for resolution. 4k is for TVs playing back video.
