The ARP's New Toy Bragging Corner!

You really need a bigger desk and in my opinion, 49 is much better than 34.

 

The best gaming PC not only saves you the effort of building your own, but it also might be the only way to pick up a new GPU these days.

 

Picked up a couple of Xbox Elite Series 2 controllers (yay work discounts )




The case is super snazzy - there's a charging dock attached magnetically (which is removable) and a slew of optional things like road and thumbsticks.



Compared to a regular controller that I use with the Xbox Series X

That d-pad looks weird but at least there's a traditional replacement in there. Wonder how the Bluetooth response time is on PC... looks like a nice controller for Forza...

 

The Tesla?

I'm car shopping right now

I haven't connected it to the PC yet. The new Xbox Series S|X controllers has switching between console and PC - this one does not (it's due for a refresh I'm sure)

It has the best d pad on a controller hands down (comparing it to the switch pro and PS5 controller).

There are no "squishy" buttons on it at all (even the Xbox button is tactile)

My Logitech shifter was severely underused because the cars I usually race with typically use sequential shifters - either stick or paddle, depending on car. So I got an upgrade:



The h-shifter feels a lot more solid and confident compared to the plasticky Logitech:


But I didn't get this for the h-shifter. It takes a bit of unscrewing to change modes to sequential shifter. Unfortunately the sequential shifter plate is a cheaper plastic compared to the metal h-shifter plate. Also the shifting feel is regulated by a very simple spring, which isn't as nice...


On the bright side, supposedly the shifter knob is a "standard" design so maybe some day if/when I decide to venture out into the world again, I could go visit a car accessory shop and get a nicer knob?


Also the included USB cable is a bit on the short side... had to go dig for an extension cable. But afterwards it plugs in and works fine without needing any drivers on Win10.

 

Yep, quick Google search hits a couple of them. Not sure if worthwhile though; I don't rally and outside of the Mazda MX5, I think a large majority of cars these days (GT3, F1/3/2000) are all paddle shifters now.

I figure I'm gonna stay on MX5 for maybe another year tops, before moving up to GT3.

 

Changed the case. It's still on the bulky side, but not as much as the previous one. A bit more comfortable to hold, and the side buttons are also easier (i.e. less pressure) to push.

 

lol it's dbrand's teardown skin case

 

That doesn't sound right. If there is going to be any hiss, typically it's going to sound equally on both sides, not just one earcup. Also usually hiss will come from the active noise cancellation... I'm wondering if you got a defective unit?
