My New Peripheral Setup for 2024

[@AdamIannazzone]

I’m in love with the Moonstone switches. I just put them into my Keychron V3 yesterday, and the sound/feel is just delicious

[@ConnorKeith-du7fv]

it honestly makes me so happy to see this guy still making content i was watching this guys reviews back in like 2017 when he was doing the razer wolverine lol i played a lot of xbox as a kid this guy 100% helped me make good choices on the brands and items in general that i would invest in for my setup im 16 now and i just got my first pc so im sure ill be revisiting a lot of his old vids lol much love randomfrankp keep up the awesome vids

[@fwabble]

In my personal opinion, he's a scam artist who absolutely CAN NOT be trusted. Top 5 mice of 2023 and not ONE single offering from Lamzu LOL urmmmmmm and he has the Razer Cobra Pro!??? Pulsar X2H, ASUS Harpe Ace? Razer Viper Mini Signature Edition, WHAT? Finalmouse ULX.....??? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA after enjoying his content for quite a few years on and off, that was an INSTANT unsub. Lamzu Thorn at £80, alone, is enough to discredit this man instantaneously for me personally.

[@OddManMC]

Thanks to you, I am also obsesed with with Macro Pads! I finally found one that fits my needs as of now and it has helped editing so much! Thank you! 😀

[@keepitgrimy]

That macro pad looks sick I love the modular design it’s very unique

[@malobuchino]

I did too, until I saw that it's $180...

[@daijanawallace1216]

This whole set up from the keycaps to coiled cables are so clean 😮‍💨🔥

[@maxwellberko8726]

Where’d u go?

[@PunkR0ckz09]

The Grid100 is very neat, I think they should make a 20 key version though, so we could have the encoder for volume and below that a play/pause, stop, forward, back and the same for the joystick, for our regular weapon swap, reload, snipe, jump/crouch, etc... or regular 3D functions. That'd be ultimate! If using those 2 modules, that would mean 12 keys + encoder/joystick, if not, 20 would be more than idea for gaming in most games, so less footprint on the desk while gaming, more space for the mouse... Design wise its a 200/10

[@samvvell]

Great video! I am also using a Pulsar x2H, and I agree, it feels way different than the X2.

[@the12gaugeshotty]

The HD660S2 actually has far better "fun" bass response than the HD58X. I have both and definitely better bass. Now the HD58X is warmer overall, but warm doesn't equate to fun IMO. Warm is just less fatiguing. Most of my headphones are warm. I am not a fan of elevated treble. You also replaced the stock pads with what looks like Brainwavz or Wicked Cushions pads? Try out some ZMF pads if you are going to swap out from stock Sennheiser. Some pads can negatively change the sound of Sennheisers.

[@mikeedudee]

Do they need a pre-amp? or can these drive themselves DI to the PC?

[@AscendedEnigma]

I bought those moonstone turbos for my new build and I love them 😍 great recommendation Frank!

[@VictorDiGiovanni]

I can't find a price for the Grid stuff. There's no pricing or ordering info on the linked page.

I really love the look of those keycaps, I swore off buying any more keyboards and keycaps but those might just have to be my final purchase.

honestly perfect timing. I was opening up to search for a good macro pad....

[@jasmosanew6146]

Did you use a different spray for the glossy finish? Or did the paint have its own glossy finish? I really want to get that glossy coat on my mouse. My old MM711 had that awesome grippy gloss and I want it for my current mouse…

[@turbo49]

Even your shirt matches the setup color theme 😄

[@adambgunn]

[@nadtz]

I got a Pulsar X2A (size 2) mostly because it's comfortable as a lefty but I have to say I'm pretty impressed with the mouse after coming from a much heavier logitech mouse. Really nice KB and setup overall.

[@Log_Pile]

X2h is a great mouse! I need to get some of that paint...

[@jose26]

Do you have a mousepad recommendation? Saw a dark waves in another vid but couldn’t find it online. Cheers!

[@Richy-]

Macropad looks cool, but $170? Got any recommendations for a similar Macropad that doesn't break the bank? It doesn't need to be a super high quality build, just something to add to my setup for extra keys.

[@HoveKB]

I just built the GHS.JEM like 2 days ago. Always nice to see a custom in rotation.

[@RodimusPrime29]

Awesome vid as always!

[@theshiftybadger]

definitely have to agree with the X2H (the Size 1 is my preference), was very impressed by how much better it feels than the standard X2. it was such a stellar year for mice and the X2H was right up there in my Top 3 with the Viper Mini SE and Vaxee Outset AX.

[@jGRite]

That Grid 100 Macropad is cool, but I need Logitech G13 replacement with full motion analog and Hall Effect joystick.

[@watermarlon6671]

Me too! Used to not care about custom keyboards back when they were way overpriced but now I can’t get enough

[@JQNick]

Can you elaborate on that mouse paint, was it a gloss paint or you sprayed a clear coat on top? I’m assuming you had to disassemble it to paint, not just masked it up?

[@kevinbonus603]

The grid 100 is so awesome but how on earth do you actually buy one website that was not straightforward

[@Fimbulwinter04]

Hey RFP! Happy New Year! Love the content you do! I have a couple of questions!, so I, I am not a super keyboard enthuasist, like I have done simple mods, like stabilizer mod, and lube switches only, meaning I don't own more than 1 keyboard; How does your ice caps x RFP keycaps look with a black keyboard?? Does having different switches, change the way it looks? Like are white/clear switches preferable? Does it matter if they are south or north facing rgb? Extra non-important questions: can you swap out stems, to create your own colorways? Can you swap out the springs to have a preferred spring force? (I am currently using a Corsair K70 PRO Mini Wireless Keyboard; I love it because of wireless connectivity and battery life, and finding out it is hot-swappable)

[@PopstarGI-DLE]

[@archaelia]

same feel, I was just investigating their website, apparently they only do direct sales via email inquiry. I wonder why they don't disclose some kind of price range or something, it's kind of frustrating to see if it's worth the investment vs getting something like creative console but that's pretty pricy

[@LikelyLagging]

@@archaelia guessing it’s a volume thing. Kind of bespoke orders

[@azntimmy1235]

I love the videos and would be interested in seeing more keyboard content even though it isn't as popular as before. I was also wondering what tools you use for soldering since I am interested in trying to solder a new custom keyboard instead of hot swappable

Nice to see you going through the keyboard/mouse stuff and your thought process behind why you chose it even if I think the keyboard kit is bad value for money (the hd660s2 is kinda 🙄too) but hey it's your setup, do whatever you want. I just hate it when you just go text to speech for marketing material mode and give bad recommendations to your audience, but this video's a refresher.

[@TheZiZaZo]

I liked the more gentle intro :D

[@viljar55]

I've got the Logitech Yeti GX microphone, the Logitech G815 keyboard with tactile switches , the Logitech G PRO X Lightspeed 2 headset, the logitech G PRO X Superlight 2 mouse, and last and actually least, the Logitech G840 mousepad. I also use a G502x with my work laptop. One could almost call me a corporate shill.

[@Vahzahfy]

Hey! So I'm wondering if you know what the KINGSTON HyperX Cloud 2s stock audio EQ is set to. My previous cloud 2s broke after 6 years and had to resort to buying the Razer BlackShark v2 Pros after finding out Kingston sold HyperX to HP and messed up my go to headset (thought I bought a defective headset after trying the new ones). I'm trying to replicate how they sound and have gotten really close but would appreciate some more advice :D Edit: Sound Normalization has also helped while trying to achieve the same type of audio

[@Clyozera]

Ive always been wondering what the point is for these non Wooting style keybords when wooting type keyboards exist? As a content creator you have maximum access to the best tech why choose this over a wooting type keyboard?

[@chichiorbis5929]

because he is not a pro player, he reviews tech, and just because wooting has a lower activation point doesn’t mean it is something he likes. That is mainly for try hards that need that input delay close to zero in order to feel satisfied. (I own a wooting keyboard)

[@Bedrick]

The advantages you get from the Wooting is tailored for gaming, and even in that genre it's very minimal in the grand scheme of things. Wooting is amazing, especially when you customize it, but it's limited to HE switches, some case options, etc. Custom keyboards are all about what you want out of a keyboard and to assume that the Wooting is the best is just limiting yourself from the plentiful options this hobby provides. Wooting will be perfect for some, but not everyone.
