My wired microsoft/xbox controller is dying so I wanna get an Xbox wireless controller. But I need a good adapter to play on my PC. Every single one I've seen on amazon said there's constant syncing issues and even overheating! Im doing Nightreign right now and need an adaptor that works well with no issues. Can anyone recommend plz?

I’ve recently noticed that many gamers who play for extended periods rarely purchase "gaming chairs," and quite a few even dislike this type of chair. I don’t quite understand why this is the case, as I’m new to this community and would love to hear your thoughts.

I’m a gaming streamer and sit for over 8 hours a day. Lately, I’ve started experiencing back pain. I’m planning to buy a good ergonomic office chair, but my budget is limited and I hope to keep it under 450 dollars.

I’ve looked at many gaming chairs, and the ones that appeal to me the most are the Secretlab Titan and the AndaSeat Kaiser 3. Since I can’t try them in person, I’d like to hear your opinions. In terms of appearance, the AndaSeat looks more comfortable, while the Secretlab has great overall reviews, although there are some negative ones as well. Currently, I’m leaning toward the AndaSeat.

This is a significant investment for me, so I want to make a well informed decision. I would also love to hear recommendations from those who spend long hours gaming. Among all the options currently on the market, which one should I choose?

Thank you all very much for your advice~

Title.

For more details, my keyboard and headphones work when I plug them to USB ports...but they disconnect when my mouse is plugged.

I tried to turn the pc on and off, It did not work.

Deleted some usb ports, keyboard and mouse drivers with only my keyboard and shut it off and on again. No fix from that either.

Seemingly, out of nowhere, my mouse decided to wage war against all other devices, what can I do? I will search for another mouse to try and see if this one is the villain while waiting for help.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Important fact that I forgot to mention, while mouse kills other devices, mouse itself still does not work after being plugged.

Currently have all the components for my build, but I recently found out the motherboard I bought is a bad choice. I have an RTX 5090 FE and an i9 14900k, and I really need a solid motherboard that isn't crazy expensive like $700 plus. Trying to find the right one for around $400-$500. The one I bought is a MSI Pro z790-A Max WIFI, and have learned it's not gonna be good enough for thermals, and longevity. Does anyone recommend a good one that I don't have to worry too much about? I also need the i9, as I'm a very heavy video editor, so I need those extra cores.

Hello everyone. I have a brand new build, I was running cachy os on it (just trying something new) and then decided I wanted to go back to Windows. Everything was running fine, snappy as hell on linux, but after installing windows everything is running unbelievably slowly. Like 5-10 seconds to launch firefox type of slow. I think it might be an issue with my SSD, or at least an issue with how my SSD is working with Windows 11, when I pull up task manager my disk usage is locked at 50% usage, even when the total bandwidth is less than 5mb/s.

Some info about my computer:

CPU: AMD 7800x3D

GPU: AMD 9070 XT

SSD: Samsung 990 pro NVME 2tb

32GB 6000mhz vengeance RAM

Asus b650 plus prime motherboard

Windows 11 pro

Any ideas what could be causing my computer to run so slowly? It's everything. Huge lags of at least 5 seconds between any input and when the computer begins to respond.

I installed windows from an .iso from microsoft, booted from a usb drive.

I'm aware that I fully removed the driver, but is there any way to get my monitor to reconnect? I'm using an Nvidia 3050 laptop with another monitor, the main screen still works when I turn it on, but it refuses to detect the monitor.

additionally, I'm concerned whether I've gone back to my old drivers, or if I will have to reinstall them. I had just installed the Gerforce game ready drivers but they made my games much slower, so I tried to use a ddu to go back, but I think I've just messed up more stuff than I've solved.

So recently I started having a weird problem with my monitor, when I move anything somewhat fast the image looks like missprinted?, idk something like that

the monitor and the graphics card are new but I don't remember seeing that the last time I used it, what could it be?

Here's a video of how it looks: https://imgur.com/a/sKmF22W

Specs: Cpu: Intel i5 10400f Gpu: rtx 4060 (I know bottleneck I'm saving for a better CPU) Ram: 16gb 3200mhz (8gb X 2) Memory: 2tb HDD (also saving for a better one) Monitor: lg ultragear 180hz.

If any other information is needed I will provide it

Hey guys, need some help.

I was installing Windows on my dad’s PC after replacing the NVMe SSD (swapped an old Lexar NM620 with a new WD Green SN350 1TB). While everything was running, my little brother accidentally bumped the case lightly with his leg, and the PC instantly powered off.

Now, when I press the power button, only the CPU cooler lights up for one second, then everything shuts off. No fans, no display, no power to USB — nothing.

Specs:

Ryzen 5 2600

RX 580 8GB

16GB DDR4

WD Green SN350 1TB NVMe (new)

PSU: 500W Ease (80+ Bronze, unknown Chinese brand)

Colorful B450M M.2 V14 motherboard

The PC worked fine before the NVMe swap

Any advice on what to check next? Really hoping nothing major

<Left is pro, right is elite>

I wanna start by saying I don't care if it's cheaper to build my own/more fun/etc. I've built my last 4 pc's and i want to give star forge a chance.

I'm torn between the navigator elite or the navigator pro. The price difference isn't crazy but can someone knowledgeable help me pick? Which is going to give me better performance, how big of a difference is between these pc's?
