[@tomazzaman]

It absolutely pains me to admit it, but Logitech G Pro Superlight.

[@mitchy5994]

My "gaming" headphones.... Hifiman Arya Stealth.

[@Sweevee]

After tons of research, the Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro is the only low profile hot-swappable RGB wireless keyboard that I could find. It sometimes causes me connectivity issues due to some conflicting 2.4Ghz dongles, but it ticks all my very specific boxes I want for a keyboard, and I’ve been enjoying it ever since.

[@TheTallGuyGamer]

My PC... duh! 😉 Honestly I love my Beacn Mix Create. Being able to adjust all the volumes on the fly is too convenient. And yes, I could do the same with just the Mix but I do stream occasionally so the submixes are a bonus.

[@TheManInBush]

Two things I'd like to see: 1. How to use becon Mic with the streamdeck with nobs 2. explain how the becon mic+stream deck works with your DLZ creator set up I'd really like to copy the becon+streamdeck nobs and then eventually add in the shotgun+dlz set up so very curious how it all works together

[@BenjaminElison]

I second this, would love to see how you have it all routing.

[@Badlex727]

I third this, especially since the GoXLR is slowly but surely getting rekt by TCHelicon

the buzz at 14:36 scared the snot out of mee 🤣🤣

[@kiritadoshi]

Heres some ideas for empty streamdeck buttons (not including owns mentioned by harris): -opening frequently visited websites -having different software, and games set to buttons. You can have your whole desktop hidden this way and save time too -control spotify or video play back, playing certain playlists when the stream or video changes vibes -editing hotkeys -voice changers -sound effects; bdum tsss, applause, fight scene music, whamp whamp, etc (good effects can be found at myInstants) -starting/stopping a timer I dont own a streamdeck yet, so the following are ideas I am yet be sure of -insta typing commonly said words or phrases; brb, afk, I will be back in 5m, I need a piss break, etc -adjusting the bass, mids, and highs of your voice with the nobs/buttons -closing webpages at a flash ;) -switching focus to different programs for single or limited monitor layouts. (Changing focus from the game to obs, or from spotify to discord for example) -copy and paste hotkeys -using buttons as a copy and paste clipboard for commonly used images (sorta like the instaryping common words from above) -changing mouse dpi -setting buttons to type into a calculator and launching said app behind the scenes and having the “enter button” both tell the actual calculator to come with the solution and make it change focus to the calculator app thus making the streamdeck dedicate buttons to being a de facto calculator. -changing wallpapers and ambient light -turning off or on desk fans -setting the a/c temp -on or off overclocking These are all the ideas I have. Some are goofy, some are useful.

[@oldskoolgaming]

Oh yeah. In addition to the obvious scene change buttons, and audio adjustment settings that I have on my SD+, my XL has multiple buttons that just post info like links to my chat, mute buttons for the mic, discord, bg music, and a half dozen different sound clips I use sparingly. I have switches to control which transitions I use. The SDs are the most essential pieces of kit I have on my desktop. I also have a Stream Start and Stream End pair of buttons that orchestrate starting my twitch stream, start recording, switch to the correct scene, play my intro video clip (and end video of course for the End Stream) then switch to the correct scene for me to start talking.

[@GamesplayChris42]

I also adore the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless. That battery hotswap feature is clutch! Do not understand how no one else is doing that.

[@LevvyKlister]

I still have the same headset, I like it more the the new nova, but Turtle Beach Stealth Pro has the battery hotswap aswell.

[@paulg3388]

Just to say thanks for all your Videos this year. I’m not a gamer but your tech content is addictive and it’s because of your delivery. I was taken aback by the fact you have an amazing music studio through that magic door! I would kill to have such a workplace so good on you for the rewards from your hard work. Thanks and Happy New Year!

[@Duncanas]

Wooting 60HE is a game changing gaming keyboard with analog buttons. I stopped using my aerox 5 when the Glorious Model I2 wireless came out. Better button layout and more robust wireless connection. Finally I switched to the Arctis Nova's and replaced the ear pads with 3rd party. The fix my few gripes with origional I ones you have.

[@nwsmith9]

I don't think I can ever give up on the g502. Being able to swap between hyperscroll and tactile scroll is so nice.

[@WhyName]

I love the g502 as well, but other mice have that feature too. Personally there are two things I wish they added, and that could definitely sell me on a different mouse, namely smart hyper scroll, and gestures, like the MX master series mice have.

[@rdeathangel1250]

This video is my first stop to learning how to be a professional content creator

[@dylanisadragon]

Recently started my streaming journey and this guy has been so incredibly helpful, thank you Senpai. But also he has the most insane setup ever and I am eternally jealous haha

[@bookofdoobie7601]

The og stream doctor yessir

[@jordanamandareact]

I was wondering if you might be able to do a video on camera mounts, I can’t seem to find anything that works for me yet and just thought you’ve probably gone through a slew of different camera mounts. I’ve got so many things on my Amazon wish list because of you haha thanks for all your amazing content! Cheers to the new year!

[@AsylumWars]

First off that sound at 14:36 scared the crap out of me. lol All the sony camera talk had me in love.

[@Darksword-v2]

Really love the idea of using multiple scenes with different camera angles. I might steal that idea :D. Great video!

[@Spartan117Echo]

Still using my Arctis Pro Wireless as well, and probably won't change any time soon. The dual audio, being able to have both Xbox and PC sound simulatanous is a feature that seems lost to time on all of the newer headsets and I can't live without it.

[@Clawstorm]

"When I'm in Blender I use the dials" WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN BLENDER HARRIS?!

[@danielr7599]

i think there is some wireless or electric noise that fuck with the 2.4ghz wireless conctions , could also be some metalic item on the path, maybe you moved the desktop? and the signal is weaker? have logitech for years on years, they fail, usually the buttons break \ stop working , never the wireless itself.

[@emapaposo]

I was going to comment the same wrt the noise and the 2.4Ghz... I would take a laptop and those devices and test them out elsewhere, far :D

[@danielr7599]

​@@emapaposo GPT 3.5: The 2.4GHz frequency band is commonly used by both Wi-Fi networks and some wireless keyboards, which can lead to interference issues. Here are some reasons why your 2.4GHz keyboard might be experiencing problems in the presence of Wi-Fi: Interference: Wi-Fi networks operate on the 2.4GHz frequency, and if there are multiple devices using this frequency in close proximity, interference can occur. This interference can result in dropped connections, lag, or other performance issues for your wireless keyboard. Channel Overlap: Wi-Fi routers typically use specific channels within the 2.4GHz frequency band. If multiple Wi-Fi networks in your vicinity are using the same or overlapping channels, it can lead to interference. Changing your Wi-Fi router's channel may help alleviate this issue. Signal Strength: If the signal strength of your Wi-Fi network is weak, it might affect the performance of other devices on the same frequency, including your wireless keyboard. Try improving the Wi-Fi signal strength by moving the router closer or using signal boosters. Bluetooth Devices: Some wireless keyboards use Bluetooth technology, which also operates in the 2.4GHz frequency range. If you have other Bluetooth devices in the vicinity, they may interfere with your keyboard. Make sure there's no significant interference from other Bluetooth devices. Microwave and Cordless Phones: Microwave ovens and cordless phones can also operate in the 2.4GHz frequency range, potentially causing interference. Ensure that your keyboard is not placed close to such devices. USB 3.0 Interference: USB 3.0 devices can generate radio frequency interference in the 2.4GHz band. If your wireless keyboard uses a USB receiver, try using a USB extension cable to move the receiver farther away from the USB 3.0 port. To troubleshoot the issue: Check for and eliminate sources of interference. Change the Wi-Fi channel on your router. Ensure your keyboard's batteries are fresh. Update the firmware or drivers for your wireless keyboard and Wi-Fi router. Test the keyboard in a different environment to see if the issue persists.

[@Casperr]

As a bit of a mouse fanatic, it's crazy to hear a 68g mouse called surprisingly light. Market leaders these days are literally half that weight! Granted they are smaller to achieve that, but not by a lot. Aerox 5 is 129mm, WLmouse Beast X is 122mm and 38 grams!

[@adonutplaysgames]

Beautiful. Always liked your gaming desk setup. Super crisp. Favourite piece of gaming gear - my HyperX Cloud Alpha cabled headset. I have a stupidly old model I bought from a store, like, over 5+ years ago and it has been thrown around from rage and dropped by accident. Not a single thing broken and the audio is still perfect. It is so old that the pleather ear pads and headband is peeling like mad. Heck, they probably weren't even called HyperX Cloud Alpha back then, they're so old. Will keep 'em til they die. Love 'em.

[@ggvz2219]

I got replacement ear cups for mine after having them for 5 years it cost 20 bucks but it was worth it to stop finding black pieces in my ears

[@adonutplaysgames]

@@ggvz2219 Seriously debating getting a replacement set of cups meself. They're so darn good! Nice to hear you like 'em too!

[@buddypreece1716]

I have been watching for years now and every video is pushing me closer and closer to streaming

[@ExtraTxt]

My absolute fave part is the two candles sitting on the bottom of the speakers. It's like the beefy set-up also needs a bit of cozy to function well 🤭

[@ShivamonYT]

Fast uploads, yess!! Happy New Year Harris :)

[@Scythe_111]

As far as keyboards go 14:42, if you’re looking for a cheep and easy to build yourself, glorious keyboards makes a lot of nice unbuilt keyboards that’s are super solid. Do some research on what kind of switches you like and such and noise suppressing and all that good stuff. I have one and let me tell you…I will NEVER be going back to big corps for keyboards(aka Logitech) again. They don’t make a wireless version yet at least that I know of but they are really nice as a plugin wired keyboard. Have fun with it yall! Also love the vids senpai gaming been watching you since 2022!

[@PhiDX]

Audio interface at 12:37 😁

[@CLTGeek]

Yes to the mechanical keyboard. My daily driver at work is a vintage IBM Model-M from ClickyKeyboards.

[@shwylie]

The lighting in this video made me happy. Idk, can't explain it. It pops though lol

[@RockeTheFlash]

I want to steal the corner camera idea. I need to workshop it within my room but I love the look of that

[@Linets.]

5:42 So glad I have the new one :DDDDDD

[@GhostRooster]

My favorite piece of tech from this year is definitely the finalmouse ulx, I switched from the g pro superlight and it is sooooo much lighter. Easily my new go-to mouse!

[@KenDeepFGC]

I actually use my Stream Deck for anything outside of streaming. I use it as a macro to either switch audio sources in combination with SoundSwitch, I use it to switch between my 3 monitor setup and my TV as output devices via DisplayMagician, I use it to deafen myself on Discord, to clip with Nvidia Shadowplay and to make a screenshot with Flameshot. Thats also why I only have the small Streamdeck. More is rarely necessary.

[@JoelJanikowski]

This set up and layout for your video shot is WAYYYYY better

[@Rashghar1337]

Thought I was alone in the world rocking the Aerox 5 Wireless. This thing is the best for my giant orc hands xD

[@urag3hard]

Okay so I’m not crazy, my Logitech wireless has been a bit buggy recently, glad to hear I’m not the only one.

[@Heartlis]

I also want to replace my keyboard, right now I’m using an HyperX ALLOY FPS PRO and it was the best keyboard I’ve ever had (for FPS games in a competitive level) but it’s been 7 years and my boy needs to rest it’s falling apart lol

[@Ishimuro]

Still rocking those same Headphones. Was the first thing I bought with money from my new Job and just can't find anything close to it. Not needing to be wired is just such a game Changer and in Videocalls with the Family when the GF is around I can simply hook up some Headphones for her on the Aux Out of mine. Such a nieche Feature but damn.

[@dannyomo]

camera between the monitors ftw, hard agree.

[@tongzhouwarrior]

Everyone who got jumpy at 14:36 and look for their phone around the desk! High Five! No one? No one. : (

[@ForeignDrip0]

this is absolutely an amazing setup

[@Lan27272]

Has the new Elgato Low Profile stream arm been released yet? The link posted shows the same model # as the one I have already.

[@RUMBLERIDER2]

Happy new year in advance.

[@calebshelton9240]

The G502 infinite scroll is the reason I can't move away from that mouse.

[@bronsonwhite6487]

I have the same headset with a baby on the way. Need that baby monitor!

[@TheMastersOfTheGame]

Great content! This is super helpful and informative.

[@Tearlol]

with my stream deck i almost fully automated my work

[@OMentertainment]

theres a good chance that your wireless in the logitech is still "fine" but you may be getting interference from another object. I noticed that there's a specific place on me desk that if I set me phone there, my logitech's connection gets SUPER spotty. It's really weird, but other than that little detail my MX1000 (which is 20 years old) still works perfectly.

[@richiewalteriv]

A lot of setup videos feel shallow and like people don't have a great reason for why they use the gear they do but all of your stuff feels perfectly currated for your needs

[@klz7957]

Amazing setup / but I recommend maybe trying out custom custom keebs have fun in that rabbit hole.

[@meetpopsickl2337]

I heard smart plug hooked to your Sony camera and I instantly started googling

[@legion1te]

Well, I know the upgrade you need for your headset when that one finally kicks the bucket. The Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless. lol

[@s.e.n3264]

Two customs loops.... Dear God I'm never doing that again

[@mynamesmidas]

Ik it ain't as big a deal but anyone know the arms holding the mic and chatting cam in place

[@refraag]

I’m not too sure but I just A camera shoe mount off Amazon I know it’s not the exact same but I presume it will work similar

[@iamKORHAL]

Yooo! I've got a weird request for talking about in setups. All the different extension cables and which ones are actually worth our money. I look at USB extensions, some are for fast data, some are just for power. Then there's HDMI and DP extensions, how do we know which ones are worth it and are secretly trash we don't want to be using. I hardly ever see anyone talk about extensions and what to know about them.

[@kevinl1664]

what is that red cable conneccting your stream decks? is that like a two to one usb or something or did i mistake it for the keyboard cable. and then for keyboards, look at the epomaker TH96! love the compactness without giving up the 10 key but not having the giant real estate of a 10 key keyboard

[@sirtoks21]

The mic is,my fav and I love my mix create as well!!

[@thedarkone6775]

This video just needed a sponsorship from elgato

[@Kohgie]

Literally bought the beacn mic n stream deck plus after watching this would like a video on how you set it up especially the mute mic 👌🏼

[@dkfyahdrums]

I really wish Aitum had integration/compatibility with the amaran/aputure sidus link app stuff so I could get chat to control the lighting.

[@DireDevR]

would love a video on how to combine the beacn mic using the wavelink software not very many people making tutorials on how to do it

[@Count-Drekon]

Nice video as always thanks Senpai :)

[@beninator5533]

Very overkill but really cool

[@MissAnique]

as a filmaker i would not recomand the cannon camera he suggested unles you just need a plain still shot to edit simultanisly with a shot from another cam

[@DEM0NJEDI]

Doesn’t feel good, feels irresponsible, omg I was dying bro😂. Feels like every tech purchase I’ve ever made, lol

[@LETHALxMODs]

Definitely try the G502 x Plus, I went to this from the wired G502 and it's amazing. Slightly lighter and feels amazing.

[@SIR1mg]

I waited to hear about acoustic panels

[@johnnycreator2746]

looks nice and clean. I just installed a Teufel-Studio-Speaker-System💥

[@MightyAims]

I know your not a gaming focused person so I can't blame you for choosing the mouse, keyboard, and mousepad that you did, but there are a lot higher quality products out there. If you care to look into some, the Gwolves HTS+ 4k, Lamzu Atlantis/Maya, and Razer viper v2 pro/deathadder v3 are all amazing mice. For keyboards, the Stealseries apex pro tkl/mini are a great choice as well as Razer BlackWidow tkl/mini are also good, but for the highest end, the wooting 60HE passes them all in performance. For mousepads, there are some great affordable options from Gamesense such as the radar and lidar depending if you want a more control focused pad (radar) or a faster surface (lidar).

[@wasabitech]

Pulsar Xlite V3 eS! One of the more interesting gaming mice to be released this year

[@mooistheroo]

wish they had youtube connection for own3d

[@enjay2475]

My Stream Deck +

[@whitefoxplays]

Harris, you need to get a real CUSTOM Senpai themed Gasket-mounted Mechanical Keyboard. You should build one yourself, with ceramic keycaps, and do a vid on it.

[@chronicmayhem]

I use sound drops on my streamdeck and use every button on multiple screens

[@MaybeDane]

I'm so glad you still use the arctis pro wireless. Best headset of all time

[@ryansroad22]

Fired up for next year, love the setup buddy! I’ll match it one day 😎👍👍

[@ArbyWan]

Great video, love the setup! I'd guess it was the Speakers that weren't released yet maybe?

[@HeyQuinton]

Small hands Heller giving guy who tells you why you’re wrong about not liking anime vibes.

[@MDiTVNOW]

I am so relieved to hear someone else say something about ghub, I hate it so much

[@flipinfin]

spectacular setup was wondering what tripod are you usin for your camera in between your monitor?

[@ham5438]

happy new year!!!!! 🎉🥳

[@ishkahsm]

So i normally dont put my camera between my monitors but i love symmetry too. I just feel weird having to look to the left or the right for gameplay and chat. But symmetry looks so sleek. I may have to try it.

[@videodave1]

Strange my logic keyboard stuttering last month.

[@Shuttterbugg]

Ditto, I keep my camera which is a 6100 with a beautiful 12mm lens in between my montrose 1 is 1080 240 another 1440 240 and my monstrous 42 in 4k oled which is 138hz..perfect streaming aetup

[@NateLG]

Dream setup!!

[@legion1te]

When the Flux keyboard and the FinalMouse Centerpiece come out, I really really want to see your reviews on those. Are they a gimmick, or are they revolutionary, maybe a little of both?

[@Bluetibbster]

Great video. Love all the different angles of cameras you have. Is it the updated low profile elgato mic arm?

[@maleeks8329]

I’ll sometimes open forza and use my Yamaha HS5s and man I can only wonder how the HS8s would sound

[@Kumofan]

You could probably get a really large teleprompter and use that as a monitor for chat/whatever while you speak with your audience to *really* get that youtube video effect

[@issa824]

🎉

[@wightdeathP]

So is the unreleased product rhe stream deck plus dock

[@kirilpavlenko3204]

Bro's side camera for the room is better than my main, hellllll no😭

[@zenox._.1379]

loving the vids

[@EddieFrencher]

Beacn mic all the way!! I use the Beacn mix create too. Love it.

[@robertkirkpatrick1826]

I never got the volume add on for the stream deck plus working right with any of my external dad/amps. My beach mix and create works perfectly with any of my dac/amps so I just use that for volumes. I almost returned the stream deck but ended up using it for my complicated setup lighting .

[@15TDewald]

Going on 5 years + on just my PC setup. Will be looking at investing in a new PC and am curious what all is in your PC setup.

[@ElVixe]

Harris has the most overkill stream setup ever LOL

[@cameranerdsmedia]

🎉for engagement

[@charkphoenix]

I stubbornly refuse to switch Out my dying Arctic Pros b/c the new hub is shaped oddly and I can’t Velcro it to the bottom of my desk.

[@dgant3808]

can you make a video on how to setup the mackie like you would a goxlr for streamers

[@jmdenisme]

New unreleased arm. Nice.

[@MilesTFBaxxter]

14:36 Jumpscare. 🙀

[@StormHydraugr]

I don't think I can think of just one favorite thing. I have the beacn mic and stream deck + combo and agree with what someone else said about wanting to know about your set up. As far as the device you mentioned very slightly when talking about needing to get a better monitor I believe you are talking about a new capture card because you mentioned testing it out but didn't say what it was and I am guessing that Elgato finally released a 2.1 HDMI capture card not sure whether it internal or external definitely interested in finding out soon if I guessed correctly.

[@tunotonga]

The elgato wave 1 is a mic I’ll most likely have for a long time. And I had it since 2020

[@D3CIPH3R339]

Great video, have you ever heard of the Audient Audio Interface iD4 MKII and the TourBox Elite, they're pretty nice for KZbin beginners. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! 🤘😎🤙✨🎇🎆🎈🎉🎊
