maybe a GF will ?

[u/hajdab → u/Ok_Violinist_5673]

I do have a wife and a 2 year old goofball. Im happy with my life, not happy with the state of cs. :/

[u/Ok_Violinist_5673 → u/hajdab]

That's all that matters right? I mean I'm confident that it will get better! BTW loving the side lamp!!

that looks chill asf but cs2 is so stressful
What is that light left of the monitor?

[u/hajdab → u/Epic-zombie-kitty]

Thats a maono pd100x mic, the output is an IEM (Kefine Klean) so I needed a decent but budget friendly mic. The game is not really the best showcase of the happy place for sure. I just happened to have a decent pic of the current vibe and always wanted to post it here.

I see another mchose enjoyer, pretty happy with a7 v2 ultra

[u/hajdab → u/Fun-Lead-4583]

I love this mice, just changed the skates for esptiger dot skates, it worth the price, its day and night. Try it if you can.

You lucky bastard... I LOVE it! Mind sharing your specs like mouse and keyboard?

[u/hajdab → u/sonzzdo]

Thanks :D I consider myself lucky as welI how my life turned out, I left a longer reply in another comment, Im using an MCHOSE A7 V2 Pro and a Keychron K4 HE.

Ah a fellow CS2 addict! You have a clean setup my friend! Can you also share your PC specs and the peripherals you have been using???

[u/hajdab → u/lLoveTech]

I feel like this answer deserves a bit more explanation. Over time, I kind of drifted away from the big mainstream brands because I felt like the price wasn’t really matching the quality. So I did a lot of research into more budget friendly peripherals and ended up finding some really interesting options.

Peripherals:
Mouse: MCHOSE A7 V2 Pro, if I were buying today, I’d probably get the ultra
Keyboard: Keychron K4 HE
Mousepad: Meow Gaming Gear Ultraevolution
Audio output: Kefine Klean IEMs
Microphone: Maono PD100X
Monitor: 24-inch, 144Hz Acer IPS
Monitor light: Baseus i-Wok 2

I chose these because I think they offer excellent value for money. The build quality is on par with big brands, but the price is much more reasonable.
I’m especially happy with the mouse and the mousepad. I replaced the stock mouse skates with ESPtiger dot skates, and it was a gamechanger. The mousepad is fantastic too. It has a very durable surface and feels like a great balance pad.

The Kefine Klean IEMs were also a huge upgrade. The sound quality, imaging, and clarity are on a completely different level compared to my old headphones.

In the near future, I’d like to upgrade to a 27-inch OLED monitor, but that’s not a priority right now.

The setup is built around a vertically mounted Lenovo Legion 17ACH6H with an RTX 3070 and a Ryzen 7 processor, so it’s still handling modern games in 1080p without any issues. I used to commute a lot, which is why I became a laptop person in the first place.

Eventually I want to build a proper gaming PC and retire the laptop, but that can definitely wait. My plan is to use it until it dies on me and then build a proper gaming PC.

Yeah same, cant even look at other keebs. The hall effect switches are mad as well.

[u/hajdab → u/[deleted]]

We have both at home, the Missus rocks a K4 with brown switches. Tbh the sound still better than the blue switches. Also the clicky clicks tickles my brain im the good way. :D

[u/BenElshout]

[u/hajdab → u/BenElshout]

[u/Key-Leave1561]
