saw you created another thread for this issue
always look for related threads

i suggest the siberia v2, i have no idea how flux in ear sound

glossy for durability

yes, not necessary wet cloth
just wipe it with normal cloth can alredy

Do like what I did
Soak it in a bucket of water for 5mins
Take it use hand squeeze out the water
Then use tap water spray it around
Let it dry

Same here. Didnt know how dirty it was until I start washing it

As expected. Slightly better than the rapper cans

Never use cleaning agent

Not squeeze, more like wiping away with ur hand. But apply some pressure

I can't access to YouTube right now.. low on quota.
What noise? squeaky? If yes RMA straight away.
See the CPI switch button and the wheel have a led light.
That's an indicator which means led on or off
Set the desired cpi for each one.

Sensei raw got loud scroll wheel
Mine also same.

Have no idea. Since they have different specs I think driver also different

No? Usually its considered manufacture defect.


BTW, I'm hyped

It all depends on you.
If you can live with it then better stay with it
If can't then better RMA it

Direct port or hub? If hub try plug into a direct port
And by default, one should light up and one should light off
How come keep lighting up?

Defective unit you got there
Unlucky
I hope robotica provide 1-1 exchange since its less than 1 week

If encounter no problem then don't need to update

Mouse correction is off that's why it can't move in a perfect straight line
But if you say shaky, better send it back for RMA
Or try update then only see if it fix the problem
No one had jitter issue so far

SteelSeries Apex RAW Review

What’s in the box?


• SteelSeries Apex RAW Keyboard
• Quick Start Guide
• SteelSeries Sticker
• 2x Rubber Feet

Summary of all the features
Instead of the regular numbers I’m just going to list out the specialties of this keyboard compared to normal traditional keyboard
• Two layers on the fly switch
• Keyboard fully programmable with 5 keys extra on the left side and 12 keys above the F keys.
• 7 levels light intensity control
• 1000Hz/1ms Polling Rate
• 8 Shortcut keys for specific function.
• 2 extra directional buttons
• A seriously oversized spacebar

The Keyboard


I’m going to start off this review by saying this is a membrane keyboard. Yes membrane keyboard, that explained the cheaper price tag on this keyboard. The keyboard has a huge support for macro keys. All the keys on the keyboard are fully programmable via the SteelSeries Engine (except for the L1 and L2 button on the top left. Those buttons are fixed to change your keyboard layer). For a membrane keyboard, the Apex RAW does give a slightly better tactile feeling compared to other membrane keyboards out there. This keyboard offers 7 levels of light intensity control. Which I find it useful for those who love gaming in the dark but doesn’t want eye strain when looking on the keyboard. You can customize how bright your keyboard can be. Now SteelSeries claimed that this keyboard offers up to 20 simultaneous key press with their ‘’superior anti ghosting’’ ability. Well SteelSeries might have exaggerated this point and who have 20 fingers? This keyboard support anti ghosting up to 6 keys in USB mode. The keyboard just MIGHT just offer more anti ghosting capability when plugged into a PS/2 connection. They offer 2 extra rubber feet. Those are not for replacement; those 2 feet are slightly higher than the current feet fitted on the bottom of the keyboard. For those who prefer a higher angled keyboard might find this useful. The right side windows key is replaced with SteelSeries Key. This is to activate the SteelSeries function from F5 all the way to F12. The so called ‘W’ button that is optimized for better tactile feedback I would have to say that the difference is negligible. The keyboard is quite heavy and close to the mechanical switch 6Gv2. Also the keyboard features a big un-detachable wrist rest.

Software Department
Apex RAW utilizes SteelSeries Engine in customization; this is where all those macro came into play.


The 1st tab mainly handles all the programming function. Programming is easy with the SteelSeries Engine. There are 4 options available for the programmable keys.
• Keypress Macro
• Launch Application
• Text Macro
• Disable Key
At Keypress macro function, you are able to record your keyboard movement with or without delay. The text macro however, is just a function to write text, nothing more. Basically the Launch Application and Disable Key function is to well, Launch Application or Disable that specific key.



The 2nd tab is just to change the illumination intensity, polling rate, and the keyboard layout. Polling rate is available to change from 125->250->500->1000.
3rd tab is where all the profile is saved and the 4th tab is statistics where keyboard presses are recorded.

Real World Usability
I’m going to comment this section on how I personally feel about the keyboard and also how I use it. First of all I wanted to say that most macro buttons on the top are quite hard to reach and personally I don’t use them. The oversized spacebar is there for ergonomic reasons. They don’t want to strain your thumb too much to reach the spacebar but personally I don’t really feel much difference. I play a lot of DotA and also DotA 2, the left side macro button I used it for quick chat settings like mid ms, top ms and bot ms. The extra 2 arrows keys however are completely useless. I don’t even know who would want to use them. They function as turn left and turn right in CS 1.6. I will have to add on this important point, when I first started using this keyboard I have difficulty typing the correct word. However the learning curve isn’t steep, I’m able to use this keyboard normally after a day of usage.


Conclusion
The keyboard retails for RM219. The price is fair for a keyboard with this much of macro function and not to mention illuminated keys.

The Pros
• Have a lot of macro keys
• Illuminated Keys
• Comfortable to type
• Solid feel
The Cons
• Extra 2 directional buttons are useless
• Heavy for a membrane keyboard

Refer to the authorised reseller
People who is not in the list are usually parallel importers.

Recommend you get the sensei raw if you got the budget
Get kana only if you love the shape.

Sensei RAW cost around RM280
while KANA priced at RM199.
Both of them are ambidextrous mice, it wont be as ergonomic as the deathadder
But i liked the Sensei RAW, i used them 7-10 hours during weekend for gaming.

SteelSeries FLUX On Ear Headset Review


Introduction
SteelSeries had released a lot of headsets but there is a catch, most of them are full-sized headsets, means that you either have a case for it to travel with you or a huge bag. Thus, SteelSeries introduced a new portable gaming headset, AKA SteelSeries FLUX.

Technical Specifications
Headphones
-Frequency response: 18 – 28000 Hz
-Impedance: 29 Ohm
-SPL@ 1kHz, 1 Vrms: 118 dB
-Cable length: 2m
-Jacks: 3.5 mm
Microphone
-Frequency response: 50 – 16000 Hz
-Pick up pattern: Omni-directional
-Sensitivity: -38 dB

Packaging


SteelSeries had always made packaging simple and easy. But this is an exception. I have yet seen any headphones packed like this. It resembles the Japanese bento box.
Whats inside the box?

• SteelSeries FLUX Headphone
• 1 meter of 3.5mm jack with microphone cable and in line control (For Phones)
• 1 meter of 3.5mm jack with microphone cable with mic mute control ( For PC)
• Quick Start Guide, FLUX Customization brochure, safety letter, sticker and the SteelSeries Brochure
• 2x Ear plates

Design

SteelSeries FLUX Headphones are designed for maximum customization, well not really. The whole point of the customization SteelSeries trying to advertise here is that there are 4 types of things can be chosen.
1. Headphone color
2. Ear Plate color
3. Cable color
4. Ear Cushion Color

Yes, this is the only customization you can get. But I prefer pure black.
At first sight, it looked like one of those overpriced rapper cans. But I can tell you one thing, it feels nothing like those rapper cans. The built is very solid, hold it to believe it. I never thought it would feel so solid and sturdy. Judging by its look, it looked cheaply made but it’s not. Seriously, grab a hold of them then you will know what I am trying to tell you. The whole headphone is made entirely plastic with rubber wrapped all around it. The top headband made from thick rubber, this will give you a better grip when worn around your head. The headphone is also foldable to an even more compact size.
Onto the customization part, the ear plates can be changed easily. It sticks itself to the headphone by magnet but the attractive force isn’t that great, but it won’t come off naturally; you will have to pull it out from the bottom. Now this is where the fun comes, since the ear plate is flat, you can easily modify it using stickers. Here’s mine modification.



The ear pad need some guidance when removing as it might be damaged when pulled out strongly. Please don’t do this I will make a tutorial for this. Links will be up soon. The ear pad is definitely something new. It feels like cloth but at the same time it blocks out noise quite well. You definitely won’t be able to hear people talking normally, but people can listen a bit to what you are listening. Leaking is there but not much. Here’s how it looked when the earpad is removed.
Now onto cables, please take note that FLUX has two jacks. Both located at the bottom of the ear cups. AND NO this does not mean that you have to plug in two cables supplied for it to function. One cable is sufficient. I own a few headphones like this, but I always practiced to attach the cable to the left cup to make sure there isn’t confusion between left and right. There is L and R indicator on both sides. Both cables supplied are lack of volume control. It doesn’t do much hassle to me since I normally adjust volume directly from my PC or my phone. But to those who usually use a volume control please take note of this. Although the microphone supplied is omnidirectional it does block out unwanted quite well but the recorded audio is clear but slightly muffled. The cable for PC has a microphone mute button. The other cable that is built for phone has a button on the microphone. It functions as a pause button if you press it once, forward if you press it twice. Both given cables are measured around 1m in length and it’s NOT braided.

The sound
What matters when it comes to headphone is always audio quality. FLUX did exceptionally well. I’m going to cover audio quality in two aspects, one is music and the other is gaming performance.

MUSIC
Before doing this review, I gave the headphone a 100 hours burn in as the headphone didn’t sound that good to me out of the box. But after the 100 hours, my view towards the headphone changed. The bass became deeper, and the highs are definitely more sparkly. Bass response in these headphones are great, it’s deep and thumping. For example in the song ‘’Gentlemen’’ by PSY, the starting of the song had some strong bass; it is definitely strong enough for you to feel the beat. The mids are somehow good but not great. Guitars from the song ‘’Holy Ground’’ by Taylor Swift sounded nice but vocals are definitely muffled slightly. The highs are somehow over sparkly sometimes and might be ear piercing sometimes. Soundstage and instrument separation are average.

Gaming
There are a few games I tested with this headphone, and I’m going to tell you the experience I had when playing with this headphones.

Counter Strike 1.6
Playing CS 1.6 is a joy with these headphones. Footsteps from which direction can be told clearly but not as sharp as the 5Hv2, the footsteps are slightly muffled. Bombs explosions are natural.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
I don’t play this competitively, I liked the storyline. Playing them with these headphones on is enjoyable. These sounded very realistic throughout the whole game. Whether its gunfire from the enemy or even a grenade, all of them sounded great and natural.

DotA 2
DotA 2 is a game that doesn’t necessary needs a headphone. But still for the fun of it I like to hear how it sounds in game. It sounded awesome; you can clearly hear the wave hitting the shore at the river at the middle. And sometime it saved my ass from Bounty Hunter, I can hear him goes invisible if I am close enough to him, alerting me that he is nearby.

Comfort
This headset can last me for 3 hours straight in a hot room while 1+ hours when under the sun waiting for the train/bus to arrive. It lasted a good 4 hours during midnight gaming.

Conclusion
The FLUX is priced at RM479 which is quite expensive for a headset. But with the given sound quality and the ability to customize; it’s worth it. Audiophiles might need to skip over since this headphone is better towards electronic or dubstep. But for gamers who is on the go and who enjoyed music couldn’t find a better headset than this.
I’m just going to rate this headphone a 8.5/10 due to the lack of volume controller and an extension cable.

Just wondering, how long u used ur deathadder? I used mine for 2+ years can adapt to sensei raw easily

New set?
Have you try it with other pc?

Change pc and update see if it works

U followed all?
