Other Geeky Stuff / Re: Audio question - Samson Meteor Mic
« Last post by kevinduncan on Thu, 26 February 2026, 15:56:26 »
Samson makes decent microphones. The meteor is a Cardioid pattern, so it will mainly pick up sound from the direction it is facing, but that doesn't mean it won't pick up anything else.

The better the microphone, the more sound it picks up. Sometimes there are filters built in to protect from low frequency transients, like mic bumps, but generally it will pick up everything.

Some possibilities


- Maybe your fan is louder or closer than these others you are hearing on Twitch. Sometimes a few inches matters. Some video cards are terribly loud.
- Some chat software includes its own stuff for echo cancellation, noise reduction, and feedback protection.  I don't use Mumble or Teamspeak, but that may account for why they don't annoy you but raw recording does.
- Too much gain; make sure it's just adjusted to the point where you can hear yourself talking with your headphones on. Even if the microphone doesn't come with software, Windows will provide basic settings from the right click menu on the speaker taskbar icon, and that should include gain.
- If you are doing home recording you will want to eliminate sources of noise. That means isolating yourself from the computer as much as possible, using less CPU/GPU or otherwise quieting the fan. If you can't do that, you need to use a noise gate that will only let sounds of a certain volume through (though this can't completely fix your issue.) You can also remove noise from your recordings with plugins that sample some of the background noise, invert it, and apply it to places in the recording that are quiet. This also is not perfect.
- Headset mics are a lot better at keeping noise at bay because they are near field and don't need to be very sensitive to pick up sound that is an inch or two away. Background noise on recordings can come from a few different things — not necessarily a bad mic. USB mics like the Samson Meteor are often omnidirectional, meaning they pick up sound from all around, including fans and room noise. That’s great for conference calls (Mumble/TeamSpeak), but not ideal for clean recordings.Background noise on recordings can come from a few different things — not necessarily a bad mic. USB mics like the Samson Meteor are often omnidirectional, meaning they pick up sound from all around, including fans and room noise. If you want cleaner, more focused sound, a cardioid mic like the Blue Snowball or a USB mic with noise-rejection is a good step. And for reviewing your takes or turning them into text notes, tools like voice recording transcription can save time.
- Your house might be louder than you think. You get used to the noise floor in your home pretty quickly.
- If it were hum, it could be a ground loop, but that isn't very likely with a USB microphone, and you said fan noise.

Thanks for  information

Very nice looking set. Are kitting suggestions / changes welcome?

Some generally stylistic, and mostly kitting-related but some changes I'd suggest:

Given the classic & Cadet styling of the set--

1. Nav cluster legends: "Print - Scroll - Pause" to OG-styled "Prt Sc / Sys Rq - Scroll Lock - Pause / Break", this will also be consistent with the two-line "Num Lock" legend.

2. Numpad sublegends: Adding sublegends (navigation, arrows, etc) to numpad number keys. This would go nicely with the busier Cadet look on the alphas, as well.

3. Duplicates: R1 Tilde key and R2 1.5 Pipe key are redundant. Remove.

4. Remove R3 Pg Up and R4 Pg Dn from Base, in favor of moving 2u / 2.25u spacebars (and maybe also 6u bar + 2x R4 1.5u Super) to Base. I personally would advocate for a more compatibility-focused base kit. The second B is in base, but the spacebars to go with it are split off.

5. Adding 2x R4 1.5u Super to any of the two kits (as they're currently absent).

6. Stylistic, but I'm not sure if it's preferable to force accent Esc/Enter for 40s compatibility. Perhaps you have better survey/data on this. Consider changing to regular modifier colors.

7. Purely a designer's choice here-- but would consider moving arrow accents to child kit so that the 2u / 2.25u / 6u spacebar compatibilty stuff can make it to Base.

First of all, really great suggestions written here. Thanks a lot for this comment, you can see some implementations in the kits.

Update #1

Kitting Changes//
-Added Numpad Sublegends and 2x R4 1.5u Super
-Removed R3 Pg Up,R4 Pg Dn and duplicates from the base kit
-Decided that the "Num Lock" legend will be just "Num" in order to keep this consistent with "Scroll"
-Added the B from the base kit to the spacebar kit

Ergonomics / Re: keyboards for small hands
« Last post by zukanmu5 on Thu, 26 February 2026, 13:54:03 »
yo, recently got interested in this problem, an interesting solution i have found is to have small kep caps. The size of keyboard switches is very standardized and you'll be hardpressed to find a good mechanical keyboard that breaks the norms (they exist but quite likely not for gaming). the covers of the keys apparently make a big difference

Off Topic / Re: What are you watching? The thread about what you're watching.
« Last post by JimmyTesla on Thu, 26 February 2026, 12:27:02 »
There are many "What are you...?" threads, but I don't think I've seen one about what's currently got you hooked to the tube (or flat screen). Can be any show, film, cartoon, anime, miniseries, etc.
I have a short attention span these days, so stuff like movies even takes a few sittings to finish.
Currently I'm rewatching Seven Samurai, this time on Blu-ray.
Show Image

The last time I saw this was 15 years ago. Before that, I didn't know what distinguished a good film from a bad one. I thought all movies were just movies. This changed image quality everything .
I suddenly realized what defined a "good" movie, and what defined amazing acting.
Also rewatching Tales from the Crypt. Don't know why I was watching that when I was five or six way back when.
PS
No spoilers, please. :)
This is one of my all-time favorite films as well, and I completely understand that feeling. Some movies don’t just entertain you — they stay with you and quietly reshape the way you see cinema. It’s the kind of film that reveals what truly powerful acting and storytelling look like. Even years later, it still hits with the same intensity and meaning.

https://www.theverge.com/news/884824/corsair-ending-drop-shopping-site The verge published an article confirming this.

When asked if products like Sennheiser or Koss headphone collaborations would move over to Corsair, Williams didn’t confirm or deny on a product-specific level, but stated that “almost all, if not all, of those will end up not being moved over.”

If anyone wants a 6xx I guess you better act fast :(
