I was looking up PC controller prices and found this... $136 off?! $136 WOULD BE TOO EXPENSIVE IF THAT WERE THE ENTIRE PRICE, LET ALONE $735.
I don't care if it's made of fucking unicorn farts, why the fuck should it be that expensive?
Also aparently xbox controllers are now like $250. Who the fuck is paying more than $50 for a controller lmao wtf has gaming become.
Fuck that noise, I don't care if it performs like shit, I'm buying a shitty ali express controller for $10 instead lmao.
Gamers delenda est. :gamer-gulag:
Steelseries cheap stuff is very good, I'm not sure why you'd bother with the more expensive stuff
Yes Steelseries is great. I also like the mid range Logitech stuff. They don't fuck around. Quality control is great.
Corsair has some nice mid range mice, but they are defective a LOT.
Razer is mid range to expensive, and they have nice mice, but I will never buy another one again. The software crashes literally 2-5 times every single day for no reason, same story on 4 different computers. So 2-5 times a day your mouse sensitivity will suddenly reset to something completely fucking different in the middle of a game. And you can't just quit! You can't end the task, there are 10 or 15 tasks running for Razer and about half of them bring each other back online when they go off. Very hard to reset this garbage.
It also creates a new settings profile every time it crashes. Dog shit. Buy a keyboard or headphones from them, if you don't need to custom configure them, but never a mouse, never.
If anyone here has Razer and problems with Synapse, I created this amazing macro shortcut in windows that I put in the Task Bar right next to the shortcut for Synapse. You create a shortcut and go to Properties > Shortcut and look for the text field called "Target:"
Paste this in:
C:\Windows\System32\taskkill.exe /f /im "Razer Central.exe" /im RazerCentralService.exe /im "Razer Synapse 3.exe" /im "Razer Synapse Service.exe" /im "Razer Synapse Service.exe" /im "Razer Central Service.exe"All that does is End Task on every Razer thing simultaneously so they can't claw themselves back. That turns it into a 5 times a day click+click instead of basically having to shut down your game and restart the whole computer or see if you can outrun Task Manager
synapse is the worst. I got a wireless headset that would constantly want to install it and run at startup. I returned that crap and got an equivalent steelseries.
Ohhhh yeah that reminds me, like maybe a year ago, there was a thing where if you plugged a Razer mouse into any Windows machine it would automatically upload Synapse and install it as Admin which let you use the fucking file explorer within the installer to open PowerShell as Admin and take over the computer. Amazin'. Just a fucking digital bump key
actually that's hilarious bc that shit also installed itself on my work laptop totally bypassing any install restrictions
YEP I got a warning from my work not to use a Razer mouse with my computer
Not to be that person, but my Razer keyboard works fine on :tux:
Yeah the keyboards are fine. They sometimes have the custom colors revert, but that doesn't matter for gameplay- meanwhile the mice get royally fucked up by that piece of shit Synapse software.
