Thanks SingPost & Canada Post.

Some of you have recommended the Convoy S2+/S3 flashlights. However, there are different versions Which one is the brightest? Should I just check the advertised Lumen amount?
Carson Cooper
Is it a requirement to only sell shitty mice on chink sites?
All 3 I've bought over the years have been garbage. God damn jittery cursor is driving me mad.
I bought that most sold Azzor rechargable mouse. It werks fine at low DPI, but when I crank it up, it becomes a complete mess.
The cursor often even jitters by itself when left alone. What the fuck.
Justin Gutierrez
What other packet tracking website are there, apart from 17track? Can't seem to find my gearbest order anywhere
Mason Diaz
just ordered a bunch of shit of off eBay, I know its not typical /CSG/ fashion since I'm not ordering from the major chink resellers but it's still all Chinese shit so I guess it can pass by.
bought a pair of pistons since they have been praised so highly here, also im using a RN3P so it would be nice to use the device with a pair of intended headphones.
oh and the adapters and shit are so I can line my guitar to my PC and run an amp sim for all the more effects and shit.
Dominic Howard
Just bought this. Do you want me to review it?
Isaac Parker
So uhh how much did you pay for those Piston 3s?
Nicholas Powell
RuiZus are popular here
Carter Wright
The pistons are surprisingly good for the price. I had Shure se215 before, which I managed to lose, and these aren't such a bad downgrade
Shame that the foam pads I ordered are loose when fitted, so Im stuck with the original buds
Tyler Cruz
please do that show us the speed
Carter Foster
Sure, post benchmark and pics
Benjamin Thomas
Is it IB
David Adams
How high are we talking? Really high dpi is probably interpolated.
Jack Rodriguez
IB?
John Ortiz
thx senpai looking this shit up
Jonathan Perry
So, no
Grayson Bennett
High as in anything past the slowest 2 options.
I honestly have no idea about the DPI stats on this thing, but it's absolutely awful to use.
Aaron Hughes
9$ Majority of the ~35 GBP I spent was on shipping sadly ;-; why do the chinks chink so far away.
Thanks for the reply user, Ill make a review when they arrive definitely, but im sure they won't disappoint.
Justin Sanders
By all means, treat Peridot alright.
Jonathan Clark
Prepare to get chinked lad.
David Roberts
m8 that piston will be fake 100%, cancel it now
Xavier Phillips
Sabrent are supposed to be shit now, they changed the chip inside the adapter and now the gain is all fucked.
Levi Clark
To whoever asked about my memefan in the previous thread, just search "USB message fan" on Gearbest. On mobile at the moment so can't be arsed to give the exact url
Zachary Richardson
I did order that soldering iron and i went for a solder wick over a solder pump.
Are heatsinks considered Sup Forums? Pic related, I got a 30 euro one on aliexpress, my i7 4790k doesnt get hotter than 70°c at 4.7 ghz. Did not mess with the voltage though.
Also are chink casefans any good?
Austin Cooper
if you got pistons for 9$ you got scammed too, they usually sell for 15$
Ian Wood
Should have saved up another 30-40 euros and gotten a Noctua nh-d15

Agreed. 15.99 here

I‘m the guy with this package. This stuff is all together pretty ok, nothing special and some will not have a long lifetime
Apple Slicer 9/10 Micro USB Cable 8/10 Scale 9/10 Keyboard+Mouse 7,5/10 USB Splitter 4/10
The Slicer is pretty neat and way bigger than expected.It works great and i am happy with it (i like apples). I think it’s the best thing in my order.
The USB cable makes a good impression and is longer than normal cables (and works).
The scale looks pretty neat too and there was a battery included. It counts in 5g steps so its not suitable for very light things. But it’s good for suitcases ect.
The mouse was a little broken but i’m too lazy to claim it on gaybest so i glued it. The driver installed automatically and worked immediately. The keyboard is light and seems solid. Now i can lurk and play Euro Truck Simulator 2 from bed. (I recommend a keyboard layout with your motherlanguage. If you use 2 keyboards at once some keys are false if another language is set on windows.)
The splitter works but is quite cheap, but that was to expect.
I got a new experience with buying chink shit. 7,5/10 will buy more.
Jace Myers
Is it just me or is that fan adorable af?
Carter Gutierrez
couldve got the arctic freezer 7 for 20 eurobucks and it would have done the same or better job desu.
and as for case fans, go learn about bearings. There are some typhoon fans that are bretty good
Jace Rodriguez
wish I wasnt nordic so I could buy a little cheap chink bluetooth keyboard.
Got jewed hard today, bought one from a local store for 40€.
Parker Anderson
shit lol, l think I'll let them arrive anyways and I'll make a review on them if they are chink or not, if they are ill just buy another pair, if not, great, because I already have an audio technica m50x (the reddit over ears) so these earbuds would just be for some light music when im commuting.
well fuck, canceling it desu would just be more of a hassle since its already dispatched and it was like 0.31$ so there isnt much of a point and im sure I can find another adapter locally, those aren't hard to find, its just the 1/4 to 3.55mm that I wasn't able to find locally at ease.
Gabriel Sanchez
i'm wondering, how quiet is that fan?
Dylan Martin
Bingo
Camden Phillips
Do i get automatically Gaybest Points if i review them and make pictures?
Oliver Wright
im a silly boy, my memory was remembering another listing I saw for 9$, these are actually 15$, hope they are legit then.
Charles Foster
First you got points for a review, next day you got your points for photos. You may try even sent them a video review for a few more points, but I don't have such experience.
Jack Turner
Its real easy to verify, just scan the QR code on it and it'll tell you it has been scanned x amount of times already (meaning that its a fake.) You will be greeted by Mitu if it's the real deal.
Joseph Jones
fuck no, i really need to get some sleep, 15 GBP not $.
Isaiah Morgan
Anybody bought a chinky slingshot yet? Seems like it could be a fun item to fux with
Austin Hill
So last night I was confused about the Redmi Note 3 Pro working on Wind mobile (cnd poverty provider using AWS band 4)
Anons were right, it does support band 4. I contacted the seller and he confirmed it (you know so I can bitch if it doesn't work) and I looked further at the specs to verify myself.
Sorry guys you were right, other than falling for the taobao meme you have done me right. Will post review when it arrives 10-90 days later (went with chiniese postal since it was free and I didn't want to pay taxes that DHL/USP/Fedex would most likely throw at me)
Just wanted to let yall know, that willmyphonework site threw me off and got me nervous.
Jack Watson
Oh that's actually really neat, I'll defo scan once it arrives then, I still havnt scanned my RN3P QR code on the charger but I know it's not chink because it feels non-chink and I've flashed ROMs and shit that would only work on Snapdragon HW so yeah
Jack Perry
>I did order that soldering iron and i went for a solder wick over a solder pump.
Get a solder pump too. Wicks are sorta a pain and don't work all that well for most stuff. The solder sucking pumps are the best and will really empty a pin of solder after a few goes.
Wicks work okay for very small amounts of solder and SMD stuff to clean up a tack and drag.
Maybe I don't know how to use wicks effectively but the pumps have always worked much better for desoldering boards. I highly suggest you get both and if you can only get 1 get the pump.
Jace Hughes
No but I used to have several homemade ones and one with an arm brace as a kid.
Shit was cash. I highly recommend one with an arm brace (check local laws first).
Good fun, get some marbles, cans, and bottles.
Dominic Jenkins
user with Redmi Note 3 Pro here, this is a major PSA to all and should be included in the next OP please to spread the word.
I bought the device and received it with MIUI 7....0.99 or something, it had alot of chinky bloatware (Clean Master then Apus launcher and lots of useless memory hogging and ad pop-up shit) and I had been using the device with 4G just fine during and a little while after the setup, I decided I couldn't stand the constant ad pop-ups and other Chinese apps and Chinese letterings everywhere so I installed the global stock ROM, now after installing the global stock ROM, I no longer have 4G LTE, just 3G, no matter what I try (I've tried Xiaomi.eu MIUI / Chinese MIUI / Chinese Dev MIUI and etc/ So it seems to be a baseband issue, however some pajeets over at XDA have said if you throw your sim into the second slot it magically works, issue with this is that my sim is Micro sized not Nano and I want to retain my MicroSDCard in place so I can watch my vietnamese basket weaving videos, and there are hacks to put both into the second slot but id rather not, anyways point is, if you can, wait for an official unlock code from XIAOIMI (since performing an unofficial unlock requires you to flash a firmware - which would make you loose the working baseband) and then unlock your device, install twrp and backup your baseband however possible then install the Global ROM and restore your baseband, sadly I was unaware of this issue and was unable to do this.
TLDR; You loose 4G if you switch from the resellers ROM to Global Stable, and the only way to retain it is to back it up via twrp via the official unlock and then restoring it on top of a freshly flashed Global Stable ROM.
Cooper Parker
Im an m40x fag Pretty good though
Jeremiah Butler
So the xiaomi 10000 powerbank is pretty much the end all be all? Is there a better option chink or no chink?
Joseph Russell
yes, some user had bought one, asked how to test it and /csg told him to buy small bearings to shoot with. I think it was even the same model, but with different handle.
Brayden Rodriguez
how do you backup a baseband and restore it?
Adrian Moore
Should i buy a 20k or 10k mah xiaomi power bank?
Brayden Moore
Guess ill order a pump too then, its only like 8 european rupees
Jonathan Davis
you don't lose 4g kek, go into your network settings, look up what it's supposed to look like and configure it properly for your provider,
Nicholas Murphy
actually, mine came also with .99, flashed global stable and couldn't get anything more than Edge signal, 3g from time to time, but mostly just Edge. But change my sim card and it started working.
Wyatt Foster
I bought a 10k from gaybest and it didnt arrive, I guess go for the 20k one.
Christopher Ward
IIRC he said it was noisy but moved more air than the Xiaomi one.
Austin Jenkins
No you dont loose 4G in a sense, you just loose the firmware (baseband) that allows for 4G connectivity and I've tried all of that, believe me, I've been through countless forums and threads about this issue and many others have it, even this user I'm sure others will chime in about this because it's a fairly common issue.
I'm not 100% sure but I think twrp should have an option to back it up, if not there must be a way via fast boot/adb but your going to need the original .99 version that your device came with and you would have needed to unlock via the official method (because the unofficial unlock requires hijacking a MIUI firmware with the OEM unlock verification being turned off or whatever to be flashed onto your device which would remove the old .99 baseband that you want to backup) and the entire official bootloader unlock is stupid because even if you get the code, some have reported it dosnt work on most firmware, only on the China Dev firmware, so flashing that then to unofficially unlock would wipe the 4G enabled baseband, as you can see this is a major fuckup by Xiaomi (for using this retarded unlock system) & for not providing proper basebands that support all religions in the Global Stable firmware.
Christopher Gray
Yeah, it comes in two flavors.
TheXiaomi ZMI PB810 10000mAh a flat 5.5" smartphone sized and the Xiaomi Pocket 10000mAh, both are great. The latter might be better if you want to put it upright and use those Xiaomi USB fans for it.
Grayson Moore
I'm not sure I understand, if i get the .99 rom, i'm fucked? I think i just bought a rn3p with .99...
Elijah Long
>many others have it, even this user how can i check that ? I had other problems with lOsing connectivity... the so called sleepy modem problem (no signal in standby).
Kayden Fisher
Most RN3P's on arrival have the .99 ROM and with this you have fully working 4G LTE wherever it's meant to work, but you may want to flash the Global Stable firmware to remove the Chinese adware and the general Chinese writtings all around the OS, however, if you do flash the Global Stable firmware, you may not be able to use 4G LTE because it might not be supported by this baseband, then again you could be in a region where 4G LTE from the baseband of the global stable firmware would work 100%, I/Others currently don't know where the global stable / other online available firmware's basebands currently work with 4G.
Wyatt Bennett
Could be that its currently held hostage by your customs.
Matthew Allen
Go to your settings > about phone, and take a screenshot of that page and post here, also I don't think this "sleeping modem" issue is related to this, however I do recall that the latest MIUI-7 OTA fixed this issue (7.2.5.0 - pic related, they claim they fixed it - the "Fix - Issues with incoming calls" - and it's been working fine for me so far.)
Ryan Smith
I'm from france and I think we've got the 4G bug here. So stuck with chink ads and bloatwares or no 4G... Thanks xiaomi and thanks fucking vendor roms
Is there any hope xiaomi will fix it?
Nolan Bailey
Got meize m2 note, it has weird white dots all over the screen. Am I screwed?
Bentley Diaz
That's pretty much your only options, and the worst part is the chink bloatware can't be removed without root ;-; (it can't even be disabled like some system apps - well some can, like Apus launcher I think), but it's either all of that crapware or 4G i guess, or you can try using a nano-sim which some anons on the china-dev (and a few on global stable) firmware report to work with 4G.
It's a true fuckup by Xiaomi/Vendors but they might be able to fix it with MIUI-8 which is speculated to release June 28th (or late June) and the Beta's are expected to start beginning of June (no rumored date yet)
Adrian Thompson
Anybody know of a decent, cheap mp3 player?
Gotta be small cause I run with it, and I break them all the time for some reason. I guess I'm over rough with them.
So, I fell for the mechanical keyboard meme and I bought a chink one that was recommended to me by you guys. I ordered it like 2 or 3 weeks ago, but it finally came in the mail.The keyboard I'm talking about is the Motospeed Inflictor CK104. As this is my first mechanical keyboard I can't compare it to other switches.Now for the review part:This keyboard is actually pretty good, I used it for a few hours now, so don't come at me if I say something stupid.Pros:-It comes with tons of backlighting presets.-It has a Windows-lock key, when you enable this the Windows key will become disabled (just like me).-It's small.-It has an aluminum-alloy plate/panel/whatever.-It's fucking cheap, dude (52.03 USD).-It has an FN key that allows you to have media controls and such.Cons:-They got rid of the right hand Windows-key.-The cable isn't removable (no hard feelings, but it would've been nice).-It doesn't come with any accessories, no key puller, no nothing and the manual is in broken chinglish.-It would've been nicer if the whole keyboard's outer shell would've been made of some kind of metal.-Some other people mentioned this before me, but there's something wrong with the lighting, like I can see it flickering or something. -The packaging is a bit bland, I've seen a another model from the same brand that has a much more "livelier" box, but again, you don't buy a product just for the box. Okay, enough with the pros and the cons, here's the verdict: This keyboard for such a low price is amazing, I can recommend this for people that wants to get into mechanical keyboards. It has Outemu switches which I heard are a knockoff of Cherry MX Reds or Blues.
Gabriel Flores
yeah it is, it has been there one month almost now....
I've got one coming in the mail so can't review. I'd do a video review but there's hundreds now Aliexpress rewards people for making video reviews with free stuff.
Michael Richardson
arent the sansa mp3 players like fucking 100 bucks these days?
Justin Thompson
my butterfly knife came the other day. the customs declaration said it was a "game toy" It was inside of a knockoff benchmade box, inside of a plastic fabric belt-holster. The bit inside of the box was wrapped in aluminium foil. (clever chinks)
Soz for shitty camera.
Gavin Adams
Hello /csg/
Looks like chinky Santa brought me a present :-)

Are you the guy who asked that seller if they sell sharp knifes?
Evan Butler
no one cares about your package. just post a pic of your purchase or fuck off.

In the end I got 11€ of taxes on it
James Howard
yeah your running 7.2.3.0, update to 7.2.5.0 (should be available as OTA via the Updater app) and your "sleeping modem" issue will be fixed
Evan Green
It actually says tPad ;-)
BTW it's an x98 plus
Brandon Brown
Actually I'm 7.3.2.0, you should update. Your version didn't fix it, its fixed with this, but there's battery drain.
Liam Cox
oh shit, im blind, well looks like i need to update, sorry for this user.
