Hi there! well i know its off topic but i didnt knew where to post this question. im using the logitech g502 mouse and everything was fine, but i recently bought the logitech pro x headset, and it require a new software called g-hub. at first everything was fine, until i started noticing some problems: profiles doesnt saved correctly. the setting on the headsets not applying. everytime i turn my pc back on the software restoring itself to defult settings, and changing mouse profiles is really messy. i did my digging and a lot of users have the same problems and prefering the older software. there has been reports of ppl reporting this on a closed beta tryouts and there was'nt a change since then. logitech didnt respond to the back-lash and the software really making a hard time on users, espacialy when the new g-hub blocking the users from using the older software. do you have any information on future changes? or direct me to somewhere where i can find it?

Great work from lian li, I can see the lancool 2 mesh becoming one of the best mid tower options on the market.
Personally I've got my heart set on the 011D mini. I don't think the modularity is a gimmick to be honest, admittedly the user will probably pick one form factor and stick with it, but this approach means they can target two separate niche markets at once. In ITX form it offers unmatched radiator support for a case this size, and in ATX form it looks to be one of the more compact cases on the market.
It's nice that they've added 280mm rad support in ATX mode, although since there seems to be no ventilation aside from the 120/240mm mounting slots, I'm wondering if a side mounted 280mm would be any more effective than a 240mm.

Looks like Lian Li Lancool 215 200mm is the same chassis as the Gamemax argb F15, ,side glass looks the same , power supply shroud is the same, front mesh panel is slightly different design, Gamemax F15 has not rubber grommets just rolled steel but has a 120 argb fan at the rear as well, feet are a different design.
I Have the Gamemax F15 mesh ,you can get a spare glass front as well with mesh at the sides, the glass has gap between it and the fans so its not too restrictive but the full mesh panel is better, its a good case, cable management is good air flow is very good, you can easily get a 280 rad in the top which in some more expensive cases you cant.

The ML-10 looks interesting, but I think they made a mistake making the space for the optional storage and ODD above the cooler. It blocks ventilation, and even with 3 optional 50 mm fans, I'm not sure it's worth it. The Inwin BQ series puts the area for SSDs and optional ODD in a separate chamber on the other side of the case. I think that's a better configuration. In this case, if you use the slimmest configuration, or the one with maximum storage, you're limited to a 31 mm CPU cooler. There aren't many of those, and they're almost all Intel. Unless Alder Lake and Xe really hit the ball out of the park, I would prefer a Ryzen APU in something like this.

I picked up the Lancool II a few months ago and I love it but now Im lookin at that mesh like... I reached out to their customer support to see if they planned on selling just the front panel. To my surprise I received an email back within an hour from a rep. He said they weren t planning on it now but if enough people were interested in buying just the front panel for their original Lancool II cases that it might be something that they consider. Personally I see it as a way to make a few extra bucks and a win for them on some fan service! Please, lets make this happen :)

I love my H500M. But if you are making a case to house 200mm fans. Can you at least design it so that the radiator and smaller fan bracket can be removed. It gets in the way and restricts 200mm airflow. I am sure this can be done. You can see a good portion of each side of the fans cut off and blocked by the structure of the brackets and the way its built into the case directly in front of the 200mm fans. This new Lian Li looks to cut off more airflow from the 200mm fans than the H500M. Fir the love of all things COOL. Please do something about this.

I can't decide if that Lancool Mesh or the O11 mini will be my next LAN rig. For lanparty, footprint is the biggest issue but I hate ITX space heaters. Plus, my LAN rigs are comprised of my old stuff after I upgrade my main rig, so that means full size components and open loop WC. Since there will be no LAN parties this year, maybe I will take the time to just make another scratch build. My current scratch build is an ATX board stuffed into a Playstation 2 shell. Nothing quite like it, but it has trouble breathing, LOL.

corsair is junk. got a mouse with main buttons for 50 mil clicks, left click stars malfunctioning in a few months. had to open it a few times actually to bend the piece of metal in the switch to un-fatigue it and scrape some crap off contact points. damn noobs. i hate companies that treat their customers like beta testers. this is a common issue too. its like no one knows what theyre doing anymore in many industries. all the seniors retired and gave their lazy kids who learned nothing and dont care, their jobs.

Definitely interested in seeing reviews of the lancool 215, fans+AIO from loan li, and the alta F1. Hopefully you guys get around to those. I'm especially interested in the Alta F1 because there's a lot of interesting tests to be done (flip it on its side, is a rad at the bottom too restrictive vs the top (although I doubt you'll do that one due to the air cooler you use), how good are the legendary air penetrator fans...)

I have the NR600 and I think that the fine mesh route is the way to go moving forward when it comes to mesh front cases.
It's fine enough to act as a pretty solid dust filter (you will probably still have to dust it every now and then) but in return for ideally doing regular maintainence, you are rewarded with excellent airflow, which has contributed to my system running relatively silent even under load.
