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...
