    When i usually take apart something i cant put it back together so getting a new one would probably be my best choice

    Mice tends to be easier to open and close (as long you don't smash it to open it) so you could open the mouse up. If you can't get it open with the one visible screw, there's likely a screw hiding under the label, if the label is big enough.

    The current collection. Top right is a UK40, dubbed the memeboard, custom design by a member of a mechanical keyboard discord, she only got the 10pcbs in that alpha run, a second run is coming with the offset enter key being fixed and some other changes. Runs an arduino sketch that I wrote. Mx clears
    Top left, quickfire tk. Mx browns. Bone stock.
    Then bottom left is a dell at102w with Alps complicated black switches, they're an MX brown rival, significantly more tactile but wobblier and louder, as well as being quite scratchy. It's PCB has no diodes so ghosts like a bitch. I'm going to mod it with usb and see if I can add the diodes it needs.

    Then bottom right is the new guy. Cherry d-91275, or aka a g84-4100ppagb. Also no diodes. I might make a replacement circuitboard for it with Bluetooth

    Hey, my headset is dying :/ One of the speaker isn't as loud as the other one, lower sounds are barely hearable... I've been using a Plantronics gamecom 380 for the past few years, it was a fairly good headset but it doesn't handle drops too well ^^

    So I'm looking for a cheap 60-70€ 7.1 headset with a decent microphone.

    Look at Hyper X cloud headsets, should fit into that range for price, sound great, have one of the best mics for an all in one headset and are all metal built. Have had mine for a few years now and they are definitely worth it imo.

    I don't know about this one. A friend had one for a few years and he had a lot of issues with it :/

    I heard it was quite heavy, is it true?

    Not really, while they are almost all metal its aluminium so its probably only like 300grams or so all together. They are really good for comfort overall, I can wear them for hours on end without them getting annoying or uncomfortable.

    Hey, after looking it seems like the Cloud II is basically the same Headset as the QPAD QH-90 who costs almost 20€ less.

    ...So what do you think?

    Huh, never knew about that, it is QPAD who manufacture the Hyper X cloud normally but had no idea there was one branded as QPAD. But yeah its basically the same for 20 euro less its definitely worth going with them instead.

    Yeah! I think you probably pay the "Box" who's a lot more fancy and stuff but I don't really care.
    It's weird. Like the black edition of this Headset, cost almost the double of the white one. Wtf

    I don't really care since I much prefer the white one but whatever.

    Don't think you get the usb bit with the qpad do you? If you do, go for it. I have cloud 2's, they're great.

    Yeah Google translate of the page says it's 3.5mm jack, so there's why it's cheaper, in which case you might want an extension cable as the 3.5mm portion is short

    Here in UK. The qh90 lacks the usb and costs 35%more than the cloud 2

    No I don't :/ Is that an issue? The thing is, I can't find the Cloud 2 under 90€...

    I don't understand the thing with 3.5mm jack from what I can see the 2 have the same ports, no?
    --- Post updated ---
    That's weird :/ I think the QH 90 might not be produced anymore. So maybe they run on stock and sold them cheaper ? That would explain why the white version is 20€ cheaper than the black one. I'm really lost lol. Maybe I can buy it from a UK website. Do you have a link ?

    Seems like it comes with the extension still though?



    Its based off the Cloud 1 which doesn't have the USB thing either and instead its just an extension with inline volume and mic control.
