(Part 2) Best products from r/joinsquad

Been using this same mouse for years, and the one before it last like 4-5 years and I only had to replace due to pet + wire. Logitech G600 honestly a good mouse for gaming

You were playing BF2 at age 5? I'm pretty sure at that age I was playing Jumpstart 1st Grade

I'd love to play Squad with one of these on. Basically slams your torso with a big vibration every time something happens in game.

Not 100% sure about the 8pin port but I think it's in ok. Never seem to have GPU problems.
As for the memory, pretty sure it's this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10-Vengeance-Performance-Memory-Black/dp/B005T63BJM/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=corsair+vengeance+8gb&qid=1562021891&s=gateway&sr=8-6
My PSU is a CX 600.

if those are all a little out of your budget, I bought one of these for podcasting and it sounded great.

I think it needs to be pretty close to your mouth though, so I'm not sure how good it would be for on-desk gaming use

Do you have smartphone headphones like samsung or sony?
Or else buy something like this: (2 dollars)

I see you've read Nick Bostrom's [book] (http://www.amazon.com/Superintelligence-Dangers-Strategies-Nick-Bostrom/dp/1501227742)

If you get the money (like $70) in the future and want to go even further. Separate your sound source outside of your computer case with something like this.

I've been using the FX Audio DAC X6 + Beyerdynamic DT770 (cuz office environment) at work for years, my brother uses one as his main setup. Its seriously fantastic for a crazy cheap price and honestly its helped cut out a lot of issues I've had with motherboard-attached sound.

​

At home I've got a Schiit Mjolnir and Gungnir and I've got the whole setup hooked up via balanced XLR cables (gets rid of grounding loop noise) and I've got a 4 pin balanced cabling for all my headphones. Even thousands of dollars in, I really enjoy my current setup at home, but honestly its been severely diminishing returns since my 598s + FX DAC X6.

How do you play with only two thumb buttons? ;)

I play with a Perdition Redragon . 12 thumb buttons, only six are really accessable. All my comms are on the mouse. Local, Squad, Command, Discord.

Anyone who's ever played with me knows... I always mix up my comms.

To command: "Sorry squad, it looks like we'll have to take this point by ourselves. Squad 1 is busy standing beside their mortars. " Also to command: "Sorry, wrong comms."

(SL1 usually doesn't say anything for the rest of the game)

Book written by a friend of mine on the topic. He is a former Ranger and Green Beret.

One of my friends just picked up the Acer Predator Helios 300. He runs squad at around 60 FPS on most maps. For the specs you can't beat the price. i7 1060. $1,049.99

That's the laptop I use to play Squad on. I get 30-50 FPS.

1.) Yes. <--Perioid

I can tell you though, even a low cost headset will work, I used to use this and sound is fine/mic is fine.

2.) http://squad.gamepedia.com/Squad_Wiki

I got this cause it comes with a keycap remover and a couple other things. Worked well for me

Not really no. I have these headsets.
I dont use any of that razer software stuff so.. that might be your issue?

I know the difference between the two, here's my PSU: https://www.amazon.com/SilverStone-Technology-Modular-Lengthened-SX500-LG/dp/B00SD9IORQ

Let's play with the long shot..... Create a soundboard to play almost any tac fps.

Considering that it is possible to map out the most common phrases and make a system.

The core for communication is basically

Yes, No, Left, Right, High, Low, Ammo, Medic, Destroyed, Cover, concealment, Down (or "set down"), Up, Compass directions(North, SouthWest, and all 2 word combos), "From" (as in from left to right), single digit numbers, increments of 10, and if we want to get really messy increments of 5, and finally weapons platform names which can be condensed into wheeled, tracked, cannon, missile, IFV, APC and/or specific weapons like RPG, mortars rocket, machine gun and so on.

I bet someone could get away with Yes and no variants, Directions, a few types (infantry, vehicle tracked, vehicle wheeled, helicopter, "atgm" and tank) and 4 rough distance phrases. The most minimal would be compass directions, acknowledgements, and infantry or vehicle.

If you can set up a natural sounding board that you could use on the fly with binds to say the numpad you could do most of it all.

If you can map out 9 or 10 options to a keypad and then you could use alt+keypad numbers and maybe shift or shiftalt or a rebound windows key you could map out enough to do vehicle, most infantry things, logi, mortars, and other stuff.

Keypad on the KB is too slow?

If some dude can meme up Duke Nukem, John Wick, or have 12 hardbass songs for those Eastern Euro Logi Truck Sim rounds I don't see why you could not make a system that will work acrossed a vast amount of games and would make you more clear and concise than most of the playerbase. The tech is out there, the entry fee might be the only thing standing in the way of getting tactical.
