Damn, I forgot to mention that! Yeah, it’s insane that Apple is still selling a full priced phone with a 60hz display in 2024! Yet another reason to skip this phone, and not support these ridiculously marginal “improvements” they keep making.

You’re right about that! The more I think about it, the more egregious I find it that they’re advertising features that aren’t out as a main selling point of this phone. I do wish I had underlined that a bit more, because I really think people buying this phone right now just teaches Apple that they can get away with releasing unfinished products.

Thanks for the support! 🙏🏼

That’s a fair point. Though to be honest, I’d say that anyone that has a working phone with at least a year more to go before it stops working, I’d recommend waiting for next years iPhones anyway for two reasons: 1) It’s likely to be a more substantial upgrade, due to the cyclical nature of iPhone releases. 2) We wouldn’t be rewarding a company for making tiny incremental changes (which I did mention in the video), and for releasing a product which doesn’t even have the features you’ve advertised (Apple Intelligence). But yeah, I could’ve been more clear about that in the video. Thanks for the feedback!

That’s certainly a hot take 😅 You’re not at all distracted by the entire full sized keyboard they strapped to the side of that thing? 😅

@@AlexTalksTechOnRUclips Well, the dedicated G-Shift key and the placement of it is key to its productivity power. After that I basically have at least 24 programmable functions on that "full sized keyboard" alone only using G-Shift. If I use Logitech's Lua feature that can integrate the modifiers on the keybaord, you're looking at like what...more than 96 programmable functions? Maybe more. I tried it before using a co-worker's G600, once it's set up, the productivity power of the G600 just has no equal, it's still doesn't to this day. When it comes to video editing, 3D rendering, photo editing, general office works, probably not so much with coding. You can work while you f*p, with some exceptions. Only gripe I had on making me get one for myself is that it has no infinite scroll which can annoy me sometimes when I'm coding. So I stuck with my G502, which also has G-Shift/Lua set up, so I have like 50+ available programmable functions per application.

It certainly is very high quality compared to the price bracket it’s in! I’d be interested in getting into modding keyboards. Do you reckon this one would be a good place to start, or should I get something else for that?

Thanks 🙏🏼 I got it with the standard Gateron Jupiter Red switches. Like I said, I’m the furthest thing in the world from a keyboard connoisseur, but they feel and sound great to me 😊

You should consider the M6! It doesn’t feel quite as premium, obviously, but if you’re not a fan of the weight and the rubber on the MX Master, then the lightweight plastic might actually be a big improvement for you. So far, I’m really loving the M6!

I know it’s technically possible to scroll sideways using the side press, but it’s nowhere near as fluid and easy to use. But again, I’m arguing for such minor luxury improvements. It’s not like you can’t find your way around not having a horizontal scroll wheel. But there’s just something about having it that really gets me, for some reason 🤓

It really is surprisingly good! 👍🏼

Thanks 🙏🏼😊

That’s a great solution as well! I’m probably gonna do that once I switch out the desk at some point!

What mouse do you recommend if I mostly use things like excel autocad revit civil 3d and casually games?

That’s an interesting point about working on 4K panels. I still think for most people it makes more sense to get the regular 1K M6, but I see how there might be some actual benefits to the 4K version. I guess I’m just struggling with the overall concept of buying a more expensive version of a thing that’s meant to be a budget option, if you know what I mean. I’ve never tried a Cherry mouse before. Maybe I should check out the 8C Ergo, or one of their other ones 🤔

Thanks for the sub! I appreciate it 🙏🏼😊

Thanks 😬😅

That actually sounds like an interesting thing to do! I wonder how much time, effort and money it would take to DIY the entire Grovemade accessory lineup 🤔 But making a desk pad like this sounds like a good place to start 👍🏼

Is the mesh soft or coarse?

The mesh is pretty soft, and pretty comfortable to lean back on. The chair is actually pretty comfortable overall, but I do wish it had better lumbar support (the one it has works fine, but it just feels less sturdy and pronounced than I would like). I also would’ve liked for the reclining function to have adjustable tension, but for this price range, that’s not a thing you see often.

@@AlexTalksTechOnRUclips would you say the seat cushioning has softened up a bit from when you first bought the chair?

So this is how it begins, huh? 😅 You know, it’s your fault I’m a part of this world now! 😂 I was looking into buying the M6 when I saw this keyboard and went “oh, well if I’m getting a new mouse, then I might as well try out a keyboard too!” 🤓 Next I’ll probably join the 65% or even 60% gang 😭😂

I’m glad it was helpful! 🙏🏼 I think you’ll really love both of those things! Just remember, you can find decent versions of each without having to break the bank 😊

Hahaha, that’s awesome! 😄 Just think, for the price of just one BenQ light bar, you can buy 200 LIGHT BARS from Walmart! 😂

@@AlexTalksTechOnRUclips it was on sale for $5… then they slashed it further to $2. I bought 2, just in case it turned out to be crappy. I made a video about it. It’s in Spanish, but you can at least judge whether it’s worth it or not. ¡Productividad, aún a oscuras! | Vivitar LED Bar ruclips.net/video/rEHNYJVVaP0/видео.html

I just checked it out! Great job 👏🏼 My Spanish is more than a little rusty, but I think I caught the gist of it 😅 I really wasn’t expecting a $2 light bar to come with features like changing the color temperature, but that just goes to show how much you can get for very little money, if you’re willing to look around for a bit and take a chance on a lower priced item! 😊

@@AlexTalksTechOnRUclips thanks for your feedback. I still use that bar on a daily basis. Nothing to complain about.

I’m glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏼

I definitely feel you on that one! 😄 I wanted a tall light bar, but didn’t want to spend too much on it, so instead I have a short light bar propped up on top of an upside down plastic pot I had laying around 😅

@@AlexTalksTechOnRUclipsthe hell?? 😂

No problem, mate. I really do appreciate the feedback! I’ve definitely gotten carried away when it comes to how front and center I’ve put the music, and I’ve already corrected a bit for it in my latest video, but I think you’ll like my next one coming out this week, as I’ve taken your advice to heart and limited the amount of sections where the music goes up to just two basically (the intro and the outro), yet still not as loud as before. And honestly, I think the video is better for it. So please do keep giving me all the input you have! It really does help 🙏🏼😊

I don’t know, I’ve actually found it to be a lot more responsive and nice to use, due to its lower weight. I know some people like Optimum are obsessed with the idea of having a mouse that weighs as little as possible, so I figure it can’t be all bad? That being said, this mouse definitely isn’t suited for any type of serious FPS gaming, but fortunately I’m not good enough at those types of games for that to matter to me 😅

@@AlexTalksTechOnRUclips yeah 80grams is a brick Minimum 60 these days You dont go back

@@Valla451 "80 grams is a brick" bro has arms made of ramen noodles D:

@@Cheezus Comparatively brother Theres a reason no fps pros are on 80g mice anymore I hit a 115kg bench 2RIR last week King ;)

One thing I notice you doing is that you speak all your thoughts. Again, not bad, I do the same thing just in terms of how I speak and present things to others. However, I think you could benefit from leaving out some basic commentary. I think of it like, *you want to let the audience come to their own conclusions*. See in what ways you could maybe dial back sharing all your opinions, or condense them, or leave them half suggested or implied, so that you can still feel like you are sharing your genuine opinions, and guiding the audience’s opinions, while letting them have room to take your ideas and remix them a little. If you wanted to keep the videos the same length, you could cut out some of your transitional commentary and just let the b-roll play, it would accomplish the same goal of showing the audience there is something new to discuss, while giving their ears a break and time to absorb what you just said. Again, just some quick thoughts, some of these are style preferences, but I do think you could do well with experimenting with them

Thank you so much for the feedback! 🙏🏼 It’s funny, because I actually really appreciate videos that get straight to the point, and yet I do tend to get a bit carried away at times 😅😂 I’m definitely working on tightening up some of my more tangential segments! And once again, I love getting all the feedback I can get, so thank you for taking the time to help me out! 😊

@@AlexTalksTechOnRUclipsyessir :)

Thanks for the input! 🙏🏼 I’m still somewhat new to this thing, so feedback like this is greatly valued and appreciated! 😊

Thank you 🙏🏼 I actually just got the Elgato Prompter a few days ago, and it works so well in tandem with the FaceCam! 👍🏼

I’m happy you liked it 😄 Thank you for the suggestion! 🙏🏼 As you can see, I ended up really loving the M6! It definitely feels like a budget mouse in your hand, which takes some getting used to, but other than that, it really is awesome! 👏🏼

Yes, you do need separate software for it. I use OBS, which is completely free, and very easy to set up 😊

@@AlexTalksTechOnRUclips can you do a video how you record your videos?

Sure, I could definitely do that 😊

To be honest, it’s not quite as good! When using USB2, you’re not able to get the uncompressed format, and quality does suffer a bit! I only tried it once when I was setting it up, but I remember it being pretty pixelated 😕

There are other ones out there that are pretty worthy contenders, but I do think there’s a reason these two are so popular! That being said, I just got a Keychron M6, and I’m finding it to be a great alternative if you want just one mouse to do it all! It’s super cheap as well, albeit a bit plastic-y! I’m gonna’ do a video on that as soon as I get settled in my new job 😊

The amount of stuff you can customize this mouse to do is really underrated, in my opinion! I haven’t even delved into half of it, but even so, it’s made a huge difference in my workflow!

That still bugs me too, but at this point I’ve got a bunch of AUX to USB-C adapters that I just use on any headphones I need to. They only cost like a couple of bucks in most stores. But even so, yeah, it still annoys me a bit.

Ah yes, no setup is complete without a bunch of RGB lights everywhere! But they have to be the most expense ones you can get from Govee, or else there’s no point to it 🤷🏻‍♂️😅

he prob tried to be different since a lot of ppl knows about Colamy already. or this is a sponsored post. I also order Colamy last week but it still hasn't shipped lmao.

@theharleyma No sponsorships here, I’m afraid 😅 It was just the best chair (seemingly) I could find in my region at that price. I did spend a few weeks researching my options before landing on that one! I wanted to be sure since I was spending my own money on it! @suntnavarro Truth is, I actually did consider the Colamy Atlas for a variety of reasons, since it seemed really good at that price point, but ultimately, I couldn’t find any retailers that shipped it to my location. I was also a little skeptical of some of the (sponsored!) reviews I saw of it, but I’d certainly be interested to try it out for myself. Let me know how you like it once it does show up, I’d love to hear it! (Same for you, @theharleyma)

You have to lean back into the tilt you want and then twist the handle to lock it in. But it works really well.

We actually did that twice over, but ultimately we ran into issues of compatibility with the first one, because it stopped being supported by Apple, so downloading games and such was really hard, and the second one apparently had some water damage to it that we didn’t know about. So that’s why we went with a new one this time around. But yeah, an older model would be fine too, in theory.

@@AlexTalksTechOnRUclips that makes sense!

Well, I’m glad you liked it! Honestly, the amount of views and subs I’m getting already are exceeding my expectations, so I’m not complaining. I’m just gonna’ keep doing my thing, and maybe the subs will come eventually 🤷🏻‍♂️😊

I can’t argue with that. The build quality and design of the MX Master 3 is just absolutely fantastic, in my opinion. I’m sure you’re gonna love it!

I honestly prefer the G502 Hero, but that’s mostly because of its versatility. I can’t say my MX Master 3 has had any issues with build quality. But if you want to replace your old mouse, you might want to consider either the G502 or something else entirely. I’m getting a Keychron M6 soon, and I’m hoping that’ll be like a best of both worlds type of thing.

Thanks! 🙏🏼

That’s the thing - figuring out what works for you is what it’s all about. At best, reviews and videos like these can help to inform you, but ultimately you have to know what you want and need!

On a side note, I just ordered the Keychron M6, which is supposed to be sort of like a middle ground between the MX Master 3 and the G502 Hero, so I’m excited to try that one out! ☝🏼🙏🏼

Once I get a 77 inch OLED TV, I’ll never see my friends or family again 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

@AlexTalksTechOnRUclips LOL yeah man it's most definitely a DREAM to game on & watch movies on! You'll get one, one day!

I will say, I wish I had invested in a better standing desk. I might revisit my priorities once I get a better one, depending on how much I end up using it.

Thanks, I really appreciate it! 🙏🏼
