Update:
I got quite a few requests for a HowTo video so here you are!

Also, some people wanted to make pedals with 3 or more switches so I reworked the Arduino programm quite a bit and now it supports up to five switches/pedals!
Also, you can now just set which keys you want your pedals to send at the beginning of the sketch.
Here is a link to the new code: https://pastebin.com/r74rA8NF

If you decide to make your own pedals I´d love to see some pics of it!
Also, feel free to PM me if you have more questions or if you run into problems!

Old post:

As I don´t like leaning with Q and E I made myself a set of leaning pedals.
Amazon also has plastic foot switches but they are really low quality and are opticaly switched so they don´t provide feedback. the ones I chose are made from aluminum and have a nice clicky mechanical switch in them.
all that was left to do is to connect two of those switches to an Arduino Pro Micro that acts as an HID Keyboard device and sends keystrokes when I press the pedals.
This not only makes peeking way easier but also frees the perfectly accessible Q and E buttons for other uses!

Here is some pics of the internals: https://imgur.com/a/O83IDUF

If you want to build your own you can get the parts here:

If someone is interested I can also post the Code for the Arduino that I used.
This project is pretty easy to build even for an electronics novice, feel free to ask if you have questions.

Note that I do NOT sell those things and wont build one for you, but I´m willing to help if you want to build your own!

I have a 144hz monitor, and it is great.

I benefit greatly from the extra hz for games like CS but if you already have a 60hz monitor and play games such as PUBG, I don't think the benefits of a 144hz monitor will make a great impact on gameplay.

• you get 60-100fps, and whatever frames your getting thats what you will see, so if your getting 60fps you will see 60 frames, instead of the potential 144.
  
  Though you may get more frames once the optimisation update gets rolled out.
  
  If you have the spare money and play many competitive FPS's, I say go for it, but you may not see that great of a difference until you get more frames on PUBG.
  
  As for the monitor, it looks great, it has the best response time that monitors have to offer along with Freesync support, looks good.
  
  I have this monitor: https://www.amazon.co.uk/BenQ-XL2411-e-Sports-eQualiser-Adjustable/dp/B01H5KKQTM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1491496383&sr=8-1&keywords=benq+zowie+xl2411

It depends on your future plans really but if you're looking to upgrade, I always recommend 3200 CL14 Samsung B Die like these:

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/team-group-dark-pro-8pack-edition-16gb-2x8gb-ddr4-pc4-25600c14-3200mhz-dual-channel-kit-black-my-08l-tg.html

Quick and super tight timings with the default XMP, can go a little higher if you want to mess around. I use these in my own machine with 8700k/1080ti, have built a couple of other gaming machines for friends using them and they'll be going into my sons' new Ryzen build.


Make sure they are installed dual channel and if the mobo won't go to 3200, good excuse for an upgrade to a board (MSI B450 Tomahawk is a good budget choice) that will support the new 3x00 Ryzen - a 3600 Ryzen and this ram will last you for a good long time.

If you don't want to spend that much, I've been using this kit with Ryzen 2600 builds:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0134EW7G8/?tag=pcp0f-21

Will be a good step up from your 2400 ram. I would though suggest the 3200 CL14, it'll last for longer.

edit: currently I run 3 screens, I play games on this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B2HH7G0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

GSYNC is expensive, if you have that kind of disposable income do it. As far as 144hz goes, there's no going back from that smoothness.

Honestly, right now the sweet spot is 1440p 144hz ... slowly coming down in price. When it comes down in price this is my next purchase https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Gaming-S2716DG-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B0149QBOF0

I wouldn't worry about 4k gaming unless it's a really big importance to you. If you need to upgrade now, 144hz is where it's at. If you can spot some extra cash, 1440p 144hz. GSYNC is pretty amazing though, from my understanding it eliminates tearing and gives the smoothest gameplay possible, something that could be helpful for PUBG as it grows. Hope that helps

I'm playing on a 1440p 144Hz BenQ monitor. I have a i5-6600k paired with a GTX970 overclocked and I get constant 80+ FPS. I play the game on 1440p resolution on lowest setting for PUBG, but any other game I also run 1440p, but with the highest setting my GPU can achieve.

It really is worth it to be honest. I can't tell about G-sync as my monitor is Freesync, but rest make my games look awesome. Modded Skyrim on 1440p monitor... think about it.

The best bang for your buck is probably this one: https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Gaming-S2716DG-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B0149QBOF0

Since the Corsair Void's are ~$59.99 I figured I would link the ones I use. I broke a set of Steelseries headphones (don't remember the model but they were $150 at the time) and on a whim went out to Walmart just to get some cheap headphones to replace them until my new ones came in. I bought the G420 Logitech Headphones for $49.99 (currently $39.99 on Amazon and no joke, I feel like they are far superior. I play Counter-Strike as well where sound cues are hands down the most valuable information you can have and I would definitely buy these again.

EDIT: I forgot to mention I returned the replacement set and continue to use these g430's

The book https://www.amazon.com/Battle-Royale-Novel-Koushun-Takami/dp/1421527723 is pretty good.

The comic follows the book pretty faithfully - to the point where you probably don't need to read the manga if you read the book. I read it back when the manga was still being released in NA and I wanted to know what happened :) It was a hard book to track down back then, I think had to get it special ordered.

Now it's pretty easy, they republished it a few years back when hungergames was all the rage.

If you have an OC'd i7 or R5/7 and you're fine at 1080p, a 240 Hz monitor might be good just "for gaming." Considering as of right now nobody can really achieve 160+ FPS in PUBG with any setup, it's not a good fit for it. I'd recommend a 1440p 144 Hz panel as many other people have said. Preferably with G-Sync because you have an Nvidia card. The ASUS ROG Swift PG278QR is pretty good. There's also an Acer Predator XB271HU which is pretty much the same specs.

AD700x. https://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATH-AD700X-Audiophile-Headphones/dp/B009S332TQ
They are used by many, loved by many, quite frankly I was skeptical at first, but they are very impressive headphones for the price. If you dont believe me, feel free to head on over to /r/headphones and search that reddit for yourself.

I run at about 23.5 cm per 180, so that is not too low. I am slightly above the pro CS:GO average.

I would have a hard time with that mouse size though, since it needs to be big enough that you can do the full 180, from wherever you have your mouse on the pad by default, in one movement.

I know it sucks to hear that you have to buy something to help fix your problem, but it really is night and day.

https://www.amazon.com/SteelSeries-QcK-Gaming-Mouse-Pad/dp/B000UVRU6G?th=1

This one is the most popular and recommended.

If you don't go with a mousepad, then you may need to raise your sens. This is a pretty shitty solution though, and will definitely make your aim worse, but will make movement much easier.

they arent necessarily cheap but you could get a 120GB SSD for well under 100. here is the one i got.

i have one SSD to boot the OS and one for games and it is a life changer in terms of being a PC user. it is so much faster than a HDD and i argue the advent of SSD over HDD is the best PC improvement over the past few years.

I wouldn't trust the latency/quality of wireless

these are probably the best bang-for-your-buck headphones

https://www.amazon.com/Superlux-HD668B-Dynamic-Semi-Open-Headphones/dp/B003JOETX8/

you can just buy one of these clip-on mics for them

https://www.amazon.com/Zalman-Zm-Mic1-Sensitivity-Headphone-Microphone/dp/B00029MTMQ/

if you want to go even cheaper, these are incredible headphones for the price

https://www.amazon.com/Koss-KTXPRO1-Titanium-Portable-Headphones/dp/B00007056H/

I know, I know, they look like shit that comes with a CD player from 1998, but you just gotta trust me, they sound better than my $90 Grado SR80's.

Is it a great movie? Probably not. But it's a fairly unique one. I think it's worth a watch, particularly if you play Battle Royale games. It's mostly a shock film though (Middle School kids killing each other!).

The novel, on the other hand, was really great through and through. I can only vouch for the original translation, but the updated version sounds good from reviews!

its lagswitching yeah.


also if you want to get rid of that static sound in your recordings get something like this:


https://www.amazon.de/Sabrent-Soundkarte-External-erforderlich-AU-MMSA/dp/B00IRVQ0F8


fixed it perfectly for me.


//e: only for the mic ofc

I use this. Cheap, extremely comfortable and works amazing

https://www.amazon.com/Zalman-Zm-Mic1-Sensitivity-Headphone-Microphone/dp/B00029MTMQ

It's not amazing by any means but it will get the job done and leaves you more cash to spend on headphones. After getting some headphones, you could save up and upgrade the mic to something like the Antlion Modmic.

I have a Logitech g430, but any over ear headphones with surround sound work the best.

I would say it's your RAM that is causing the bottleneck. When I had the R5 1600, I remember i did a BIOS reset and forgot to turn on XMP for my 3000Mhz RAM. By default I was playing on 2100Mhz. When I was playing PUBG, I was wondering why my FPS felt so bad, it just didn't feel the same. After turning XMP profile back on, it felt decent again. Having said that, I would suggest upgrade your RAM and CPU (Ryzen is fine, just OC and get fast RAM - very important).

I personally own - https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3000MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0134EW7G8/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=ram+3000mhz&qid=1559339111&s=gateway&sr=8-3 and can confirm it is compatible with Ryzen processors. It has been good to me. I'd suggest getting faster RAM than this one.

Try this headset. My fiancee and I both have one and it's pretty good for the price.

Did you know Amazon will donate a portion of every purchase if you shop by going to smile.amazon.com instead? Over $50,000,000 has been raised for charity - all you need to do is change the URL!

Here are your smile-ified links:

I would suggest a different route, purchase quality headphones and a separate mic that you can either leave on the desk or attach to the headphones. You will get much better quality than "gaming" headphones for the same price, if you're spending 100 bucks or more, otherwise I've heard good things about these, the non-revolvers.

I play at 300 dpi and my aiming has improved fold. Half my mousepad turns me around 180 degrees. If you sont have a big mouse pad it won't be possible .

Obviously not as I don't know what their full tech stack is. As a network engineer however, I know that operating costs for infrastructure are quite expensive.

I also know that they are running on Amazon AWS servers. From a patch note in May, they mention they are running on the "highest possible spec machines that AWS offers". Feel free to look up for yourself what some of those costs can be.

Hey,

you dont benefit from it if u dont get 144fps, so at the moment its not worth it if u would only play PUBG.
If u play csgo for example and u get 144fps its a huge difference to a 60hz monitor, its a complete new game!

Just checked the monitor u are considering, i never heard or saw someone using this. It doesnt mean the monitor is bad but I would recommend you this monitor:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/BenQ-XL2411-e-Sports-eQualiser-Adjustable/dp/B01H5KKQTM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1491495974&sr=8-1&keywords=benq+xl2411

its just 20bucks more and many people are using this :)

You can also do your own manual setup. I have the Sennheiser Game One headset and used a $7 USB sound card as a second output and a cheap mixer to adjust volume levels. It's not wireless, but as mentioned above there's some good wireless setups that offer separate volume control.

I recently picked this headset up. Pretty solid.

Personally, i use the products below. I think a standalone mic is better because you can then buy any headphones you want. $100 headphones, or $3000 headphones.

https://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATH-M50-Professional-Monitor-Headphones/dp/B000ULAP4U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1495121253&sr=8-1&keywords=ath50

and

Is that like an amplifier or just a usb audio card?

I don't like the crate system, but PUBG is expensive, and they need recurring income to keep it operating over several years. Here's a breakdown of their minimum server cost ($1.68m/month):

• 95% of the time, more than 127000 players are ingame.
  
• Assuming 90% of players are in game, and 95 players per server, means 1200 instances are online at all times.
  
• The machines are running "on the highest possible spec machines that AWS offer". (Therefore we can also assume one machine runs one instance only.)
  
• A c4.8xlarge.gamelift server ("Use cases: MMO gaming") is $1399 a month in North America, and more expensive in other PUBG regions.
  
  1200 NA instances always online at $1399 a month equals $1.68m per month. More than 127k players in game? Price goes up. Players elsewhere in the world? Price goes up. Sell more copies? Price goes up.
  
  Rough estimate, PUBG costs $4m in server costs monthly, before the cost of employees. They currently have ~3 years of runway. Selling more copies doesn't necessarily increase this runway, because server costs go up the more people play.

Install the game onto an SSD. EZ.

$60 for a 120GB SSD

Below is a link to one of the better brands. Have had mine for years and it has no signs of wear. Worth the investment.

24" is the most common.

would this do the job?

16GB of DDR4 does not cost ~60-90$. Especially at 3000mhz.

2x8GB 3000mhz sticks of Corsair Vengance LPX is currently $195, A 525GB SSD is currently $130.

went for this one instead :P

https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Predator-XB271HU-2560x1440-Display/dp/B0173PEX20

my mousepad is plenty big enough

it's more the fact that it's a lot of turning to change aim by >90 degrees, especially when you've gotta try and keep with the enemy's frantic adad-ing around you

As I don´t like tilt with Alphabetic character and East I made myself a down of tendency pedals.
Amazon as well has elastic infantry switches but they are actually low pressure degree and are opticaly switched so they don´t ply feedback. the ones I chose are made from aluminium and have a city clicky mechanic operate in them.
all that was left-wing to do is to infix two of those switches to an Arduino Athlete Small that act as an HID Device emblem and sends keystrokes when I estate the pedals.
This not merely makes peeking way easier but besides frees the dead get-at-able Alphabetic character and Irrational number buttons for other uses!

Ah I see, haven't heard much about that brand, but I'll take your word for it and think it over. Hate to bug you, but was also looking at These Audio Technica's
