I was worried that placing the light bar above the two stacked monitors was going to be to high up to illuminate the desk.
Hey guys, I bought the Pulse Elite a couple of weeks back and a read about the connectivity problem so I got me a Xmart - OTG, USB-A/USB-C directly in front of the PS type C port and no problems whatsoever for now. Hope could help for you.
No sidetone , something most people forget ....
I stop watching when you show the lightbar, non-sense having a light source in front of a monitor
not at all. it helps your eyes at night because the background is not as dark in comparison to the monitor's brightness
I use the stacked setup with 2 ultrawides. It's awesome. For Windows I used Fancy Zones which helps manage window real estate.
aight, im changing my desk setup now.
Good review! I'm tending to buy a V1 MAX as a first Mech keyboard.
Hey Alex, great video, can I ask what is the background music in your intro? Thxs
So what will be a better one in the same price range? (With a good mic that reduces noice sounds in the room)
Two screens replaced by a widescreen.
Nice video, keep it up. I bought this keyboard now from 111€ at Amazon España. I bought rare keychron retro keycaps in Portuguese and I am excited to install them in my new keyboard. After too many searchs, finally I think found a replacement for my MX Keys.
had the same problem with the dongle and still having it even with the usb cable extender... bluetooth works perfect. if these issues are fixed im very happy with them
they should include somewhere on the M6 where additional weight can be added (such as a steel BB) - I like heavier mice.
first of all, there are 7 buttons on the mx master 3 as well. and how... did you manage to completely omit the fact that the biggest feature of mx master 3 is the magnetic ratchet? the transition from the ratchet to free-scroll is seamless and absolutely premium. and no mouse in existence has been able to replicate that feeling. period. not to mention how the mx master 3 does that by measuring the intensity of the push of the scroll wheel.
I will admit that when I was writing my review, I kind of overlooked the features of the scroll wheel on the MX Master 3. For me, I’m mostly just missing the infinite scroll wheel function on the Rapoo (which I made a small note of when displaying the score). That being said, the magnetic ratchet on my MX Master 3 stopped working so long ago that I literally forgot it ever existed 😂 Thanks for the feedback 🙏🏼
i got the same keyboard and honestly its really smooth typing with it. Switched from Logitech G Pro blue switches. And the the difference in feel is night and day.
Hi, are the clicks on the Rapoo silent and similar to MX Master? Thanks.
They’re pretty silent. I only have the original MX Master 3 here, and they’re a lot more quiet than that, but I can’t compare it to the Master 3S.
@@AlexTalksTechOnUA-cam original Master 3 was definitely not silent, so these should be closer to 3s. Thanks for replying!
hey i just came across your channel. you're doing a great job on video production, as well as content. keep it up you got a new sub!
Thank you, I really appreciate that! 🙏🏼
yeah. what he said.☝
Oh I've seen that mouse when I was looking for a productivity mouse lol. Not having a fast scrolling wheel was kind of a deal breaker for me though so I ended up with the Ugreen M751 recently as my main mouse when I'm not gaming. Just changed the mouse inputs using X-Mouse software since I couldn't find a driver for it but it feels worth for its price honestly. Nice vid as always
I just discovered that mouse earlier today!!! Was thinking about getting one to see how it stacks up by comparison, but I'm still very happy with the Rapoo, in spite of the lack of an infinite scroll wheel. I'm also considering what other devices might be interesting to try out. The world of budget mice has gotten a lot more competitive lately, it seems! And thanks again!
You should have more subs and views. Amazing video!
Thanks, I appreciate it! I'm taking a "build it and they will come approach" so far - just gonna' keep making videos and getting better, and hopefully the views and subs will come :)
MX Master 3S does not support side to side rocking (to scroll left n right) on the main scroll wheel. And the thumb side scrolling wheel is infuriating. Especially when one uses spreadsheets all day everyday.
I just did a video on the Rapoo MT760L, which has a far superior side scrolling wheel, in my opinion! It's way more accessible and easy to use! And it costs about half as much as the MX Master 3S, without any noticeable compromises in quality! You should consider checking it out!
Mouse controllers
Oh, I’m terrified of those 😅 But I absolutely would consider trying one out, just to see what it’s really like! I might just end up getting one soon!
How many color options for M6? MX master 3s offers 3 colors.
The M6 only comes in a fully black version, which looks a little too simple for my taste (but great if you want something that's a bit subtle), and the white one with the black scroll wheel.
@@AlexTalksTechOnUA-cam it would be nice if they make a silver one which is inline with most laptop color.
Putting the charging mount in a shelf is really smart! I wanted to use it but didn’t want to put a hole in the wall. Thanks!
Glad to be of help! 🙏🏼
Can you Review rapoo mt760
You’ve read my mind! I’ve actually been thinking about trying out this mouse for weeks now. As soon as I saw your comment, I took it as a sign, and I just ordered one now! 🙏🏼 So expect a video on it within the new couple of weeks!
@@AlexTalksTechOnUA-cam pls notify me when uploaded
I just uploaded a video on the Rapoo MT760L! Spoiler alert: I kinda' love it!
Great video and like the humour! Have you tried it with a mirrorless camera as well as your webcam and have you checked out the new voice activation feature?
Thanks, I’m glad you liked it 🙏🏼 I’ve considered replacing the webcam with a mirrorless camera, but right now all I have is an old Canon EOS M50, which my wife is using. I think I’ll definitely have to switch out the webcam at some point, just to get something with better depth/focus. Unfortunately I have an AMD graphics card, and the new voice activation feature only works with Nvidia cards, same as with their AI eye tracking and background features. It really is getting to the point where you’re getting two different products, depending on which family of graphics cards you have.
I have been using he g502 for over a decade now (after I liberated my 1st one freom my office)
It’s an awesome mouse! Super versatile and durable too. I would’ve still been using mine too if I hadn’t gotten a Keychron M6, which works better for my purposes.
@@AlexTalksTechOnUA-cam Durability is so so, I am on my 4th mouse now I think, so I have to change them every 2 years or so, but it also used to be 120 USD and is now usually around 50
Can you describe the difference in how the scroll wheels feel? I felt the mx in person and i like the weighty metal feeling. Is the gs more rubbery?
Yes the Gs doesn't feel as premium, but I find it to be more accurate, the MX 3 would skip inputs waaaaaay to often for my taste.
I agree with @sawiie - the G502 Hero's definitely doesn't feel quite as premium (neither the scroll wheel, or just overall). A decent alternative might be the Rapoo MT760L, which I just tested out. It does a lot to retain the premium feel of the MX, while also being way more responsive, but it does lack an infinite scroll wheel, which could be a deal breaker for some.
As a Mac only user your video was super helpful describing everything I needed. Dedicated USB C dongle for 1k polling rate. Good for gaming and work. Price! I wish the M6 had better build quality but the positives heavily outweigh that negative.
I’m glad it was helpful! That’s why I do this 🙏🏼 I think you’ll be happy with the M6!
@@AlexTalksTechOnUA-cam loving it so far!
The intro is top tier my Guy hahaha, love it! Subbing to you
Awesome, thanks for the support! 🙏🏼
Awesome, thanks for the support! 🙏🏼
Do you have the red or brown or banana switch version?
Red switches. Although in retrospect, I might’ve liked to try brown, for something with just a bit more weight to it. But I’m still loving the ones I have!
Watched the whole video. You made it much easier for me to decide. And your channel is really underrated.
Glad I could help! And thanks for the feedback 🙏🏼😊
I have had an MX Master for literally over a decade (I'm a software engineer). I have two right now, one for WFH and one for the office. Brilliant. My mouse for gaming is a Logitech G502X and the G is better for sure, it's also frustrating as heck. I prefer the Master handsdown (pun intended) for comfort and fit to my hand. I wish Logi made the G502X inside the Master 3S body. A sleeper build if you will. The only reason I have a gaming mouse is because the bluetooth in my rig stutters so gameplay is trash with the MX Master 3S (now. It used to work fine). Previously I'd just use the button switch between laptop and desktop.
I definitely understand that. It might be worth it for you to check out the Keychron M6, or something else in that category. I found the M6 to be a perfect blend of both worlds, where it has the speed and connectivity of the G502, and the comfort of the Master. But it does come with a few major sacrifices of its own, most of all being the lack of a premium feel. But if you’re willing to live with a mouse that’s a bit plastic-y, it’s honestly a great find. And I’m sure there are others out there in that category.
Iphone 16 basic model has only 60hz screen in 2024 and costs $800 it´s crazy
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.
I think the first statement "there's nothing wrong with the iPhone 16" isn't entirely accurate. The main issue with iPhone 16 is that it's being marketed with AI features that are still not fully implemented yet.
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.
Subbed. 🎉
Thanks for the support! 🙏🏼
Should not buy ONLY if you already have a recent phone. Else it's a good upgrade (wish the title reflected the sentiment of the video)
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!
Excluding the infinite scroll wheell, the G600 is the greatest productivity mouse of all time.
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? 😅
@@AlexTalksTechOnUA-cam 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.
Agree, it's a nice keyboard for the price and quality it provides. I have been using it for several months, replacing the switched with TTC Silent Frozen V2 making it really smooth and silent, awesome for typing and light for gaming. Did some mods.
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?
Hey, great video - what switches did you get in this?
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 😊
One thing I really hate about the MX Master after long term use is the weight and the rubbery material. It makes my palm sweat so much and it also deteriorate due to the sweat.
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!
horizontal scrolling is also possible with G502 (scroll wheel side press) and also even if you don't have a scroll wheel's side press, you can just hold Shift and scroll up and down with scroll wheel and it will scroll horizontally
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 🤓
This guy sounds like a victim.
502 ROCKS the world, just get it, its just the best.
It really is surprisingly good! 👍🏼
this is some really good quality video
Thanks 🙏🏼😊
I have my charging cables attached under the desktop. I pull them out for charging.
That’s a great solution as well! I’m probably gonna do that once I switch out the desk at some point!
I wonder how M6 in shape holds up against the Cherry 8C ergo. (But if we looking at spec wise I still gonna get the M6 4K. totally worth the 110 imo) Also node for AUTOCAD workers with 4k panels, you want your pointing device to run the same refresh rate as screen (pollen rate to resolution of display) to minimalise jitter and such in workflow. Just adding this as a casual amateur gamer and database engineer
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 🤔

Since you mentioned those Grovemade desk pads, it's about $20 in materials and less than an hour of labor to made your own custom desk pad. Get a roll of thin cork, a yard or so of wool felt (which is small enough that you might find it in the discounted scraps bin), and a can of spray adhesive from the fabric store. Cut the cork to size, spray with adhesive, and attach it to the felt. Cut mitered edges in the felt with a utility knife and wrap and adhere them to the bottom. Looks and feels great, and is custom fitted to your own desk.
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 👍🏼
How comfortable is it? Anything that makes it less comfortable than desired?
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.
@@AlexTalksTechOnUA-cam would you say the seat cushioning has softened up a bit from when you first bought the chair?
