Some test footage I recorded with using a Xiaomi Yi Action Cam when I dropped by my parents’ place. The source footage looks a bit better. Unfortunately it seems that there is some quality loss when uploading to YouTube.

Twitch + Chromecast

Though I haven’t used the setup for months:

The Chromecast is a pretty nifty little device for turning your “dumb” TV into a pretty awesome one. It was very fun to play with at first, but unfortunately it did not meet my expectations in terms of video fidelity. There was clearly a lot of artifacting and pixellation when watching Twitch using the Chromecast when compared to watching on a computer (pretty big buzzkill when I was watching League Worlds last year).

Netflix, however, works great with the Chromecast (no discernible difference in video quality compared to streaming on PC), so maybe the Twitch App just isn’t cutting it? 

My primary issue with using the Chromecast is its reliance on an Android device. I have an LG G3 which has not so great battery life so I do not like the idea of using my phone as a remote. I do have a Kindle HDX 7′’ laying around not being used anymore, but unfortunately since it uses a proprietary version of Android (Fire OS) , I can’t use the HDX as a dedicated Chromecast Remote.

Modded CM Storm QuickFire Rapid:

Cherry MX Blue Switches + Clear O-Rings with Blank PBT Keycaps

Vinyl wrapped with Generic Carbon Fiber Wrap 

Unfortunately the vinyl adhesive wasn’t very good and I have since removed it. I tried to use Plasti-Dip instead but unfortunately that was not very durable either. As result, it currently sports its original dark grey color (doesn’t look as good). I currently use it for my office computer and currently keep a Razer Blackwidow at home. Unfortunately I was not impresssed with the green “Razer” Kailh switches. 

On a side note, I’m excited about the amount of cool looking mechanical keyboards showing up on www.massdrop.com for under $100--but I’m conflicted since they all appear to be sporting non Cherry-MX Switches.
