It's not the cable or the monitor.

Ur card may be artifacting. Might need to RMA that jawn. But first check if everything is connected and seated properly.

Whelp time to get a new mouse. Scroll wheel is hardly responding anymore on my Logitech G500s. I took it apart and cleaned it and it worked..for a minute or two and then after reassembling it it started the problem again.

you contact Logitech? they're pretty good about replacing shyt

don't mention that you took it apart though

Would they deny the RMA if they see that it was open? It looks obvious from the bottom it was tampered with.

the first RMA I did with them, they didn't even want the original mouse back. second time they had me send it in (and I got an upgrade, cause they didn't have my model anymore)

I would try and see what they say

He's probably getting artifacts. I suggest he tries the program "evga precision x" or "fur mark." Both those programs can definitively find out if he's artifacting or not. The problem is, those programs can be dangerous and card killing if he doesn't know what he's doing. Still, it's worth it in my opinion.

im so sick of rgb and tempered glass. if i was in a market for a new case, id prolly go for the most plainest and cheapest.

I'm the same way actually and think Fractal Design and NZXT cases look best. I linked it to @Ciggavelli cause he is always over the top with shyt.

Might as well link him something that looks it belongs in titanfall 2

Eh, I'm going to give this cheap mechanical keyboard a spin since I've read good things about it.

First, let’s temper your expectations just a little bit. These are, obviously, not as high quality as some more expensive keyboards—but we were surprised at how good they were. Some of it has to do with general build quality, but a big factor is the switches inside.

The individual key switches are what make mechanical keyboards unique: their complex spring-and-slider construction gives the keys a much longer, more satisfying “feel” than rubber dome keyboards, which is why they’re so coveted by typists and gamers. German corporation Cherry has been manufacturing its patented MX switches for over 30 years, and while they’re not the only switches that can be found in mechanical keyboards, they are the de facto standard.

Since the patent on Cherry MX switches expired, competitors have made “clone” switches that are generally sold to keyboard manufacturers for much less. These switches have the same basic characteristics as Cherry MX switches, including cross-shaped stems that are compatible with the same keycaps, and different colors corresponding to different switch types. The main difference: these clone switches are mass manufactured in China with (presumably) less strict tolerances gives them a looser, more shaky feel than the genuine article. That said, they’re very much preferred by bargain-hunters, since real Cherry MX switches or equivalents cost about a dollar per switch, instantly putting keyboards outside the range of an impulse purchase.

In addition, these keyboards tend to lack more advanced features like programmable RGB backlighting (or backlighting at all, in some cases), detachable USB cables, and other niceties like that. You may find one of those features occasionally, but you’ll rarely find them all on one board.


Cherry MX switches come in different colors, each coded to quickly explain different variables of the switch itself: the strength of the spring, the “bump” or lack thereof at the point where a stroke is registered, and whether the key makes an audible “click” as it’s pressed. Other manufacturers have copied the color coordination scheme along with the Cherry MX switch design, so we’ve broken the recommendations below along those lines.

shyt ain't bad. I have the Pro version of that one as my backup keyboard. It's pretty good actually.
