Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Stock cooler is fine for moderate overclocks as long as the case temperatures are decent. It is a bad cooler and you can get a much better one for 20 dollars.
Personally I like the steelseries layout. Volume/mute is nicer than a windows key.
Cool mod though. Steel series should've made a small toggle switch somewhere.
It's a VA panel. Biggest drawback is response times. Great black levels(for an LCD monitor), usually very little AG, and cheap. 2333t from samsung also measures 3k static contrast or around 3x ips/tn panels. They are very nice if you don't care about ghosting. 500-800:1 contrast is pretty poor...
It's "worth" around that price. Not a terrible deal(considering people are spending more for lesser keyboards), but considerably cheaper elsewhere as cited.
Overall? Steel series, by a lot.
But, its all preference. Lots of people on this forum will sacrifice quality for lights. If you want a better overall keyboard get the steel series. Blacks are a little heavy for every-day typing, but that just means another switch may be more optimal, that...
Other than the backlight and macro keys it should be very easy to find.
Wrist rests are a bad habit and usually do more harm than good and true macro keys are illegal in most games. So there is a reason they are absent on a lot of keyboards.
The problem is there are keyboards at the same price as the BWU and better quality. If some one pushes you towards a higher quality keyboard its not being elitist. People into mechanical keyboards have a hard time believing that people will buy a low quality mechanical keyboard because of...
That's like saying BW is the holy grail of mechanical keyboards except it has a keypad. It's one of the worst mechanical keyboards out there quality wise and only gets credit cause its a razer product and lights up (aimed at the kids).
This forum is getting embarrassing. Two posts with people...
I agree that, at its price point, there are much better keyboards than the BW. People get blackwidow for stupid reasons, such as light up keys. I don't think too many people will disagree. It's really tough to disagree. I'm not sure why das is so popular either.
Razer death adder still is one...
I know what he was referencing. I haven't played with any of the newer elitebooks though, but last time i did they weren't much of an improvement, if any, from their higher end non-business lines.
Companies business lines are a step-up from their non-business lines. But still a latitudes are...
