  • I still have my Steam Controller but I was itching for better Gyro after playing with Steam Deck so I picked up PS5 controller for PC after doing some research.

    I like the PS5 one quite a lot, it does have nice upgrades over the Steam Controller like the adaptive triggers which work only in some games though and the haptics are sooo much better… But the battery life is a complete joke, it’s really annoying.

    With SC I’ve just chucked in two AA batteries and was set for 3 months+ with PS5 controller I can barely get 10h with haptics and got around 15h without haptics… And it takes ages to charge too…

    The only appeal of this new controller is the touch stick for gyro but other than that this seems quite lackluster imo.












  • I use these at work where I have to use ear plugs. I hate in-ear headphones and these work perfect for my niche. Also get 2 workdays worth of battery life from these.

    What I find a great bonus is that the mic on them does not pick any of the 80dB+ noise around me when I’m making calls. Also comfortable to the point that I sometimes forget I even wear them.

    Also a physical button for pause/play so I don’t have to take off my gloves.

    I find the default EQ quite bad with earplugs so I just use the parametric Wavelet EQ SW on my Android phone with quick preset for my other Sony WH1000XM3… Which sounds great on these as well especially for voices/vocals as I tend to listen to audio books.






  • I sold my used RTX 3060ti to a friend at work for 220eur and it was also a really nice overclocker. I would not even pay 300$ for a new 3060, not to mention used one… You can most likely grab used RX 6700 XT in that price range which will wipe the floor with a 3060.

    I got used RX 6800 XT for myself in the May last year for 400eur and it’s also a good overclocker so I got 3090 levels of performance (in raster) out of it at over 300W but at that price I can’t complain at all.
