    Scissor Switch Keyboard Recommendations?

    After a few years of use with the Rapoo E9050, I have unfortunately managed to break a key and looking to replace the keyboard. So far I have really been happy with the Rapoo, so I was looking at just buying another (the E9070 for the included numberpad this time). Before I do though, since it’s...

    ASUS - our 5 year warranty is really only 3 years

    Yeah I also have been let down by Asus customer support. Even if they accept your RMA, I had to return 5 times before getting a working motherboard (ram slots wouldn't work or other issues), which at the time was their top of the line offering. I much prefer MSi and have dealt with their...

    Ends April 3rd. "Best" budget headphones. $32.99 @ massdrop

    I don't know if they are honestly the 'best' but certainly in the top 5, or probably 3 in that price range. Personally I would get the Takstar Hi2050 you can get for about ~$35 from aliexpress. If you do get these 668s. Check out Zeos' youtube channel for reviews and where he places on new...

    500 Million ASUS Motherboards. The Celebration Starts at [H]. - Lucky Draw

    I had the Asus P965 Commando, unfortunately it was DOA so I had to send it in for an RMA, was sent back another with a different issue... Repeated 4 times in total until I received one that works... To this day it is still going in a smaller PC and even with some shot capacitors it's still running.

    I'm a noob, please educate me!

    1. Well there's no 'exact' time for the break-in period. Just as you use it the signature may change slightly from when you first unboxed it. If you can, just play some pink noise through the headphones for a while, but otherwise continue to listen to them as you would. 2. 300ohm is what the...

    PC Speaker Upgrade, under $300. How's this look?

    Well the JBL's are $280 for a pair, Micca's are $80. The JBL's in all likelyhood have better sound, but with that budget you're not counting the DAC or the subwoofer... You would be missing out on quite a lot there, so it's comparing two different things, higher end speakers vs a whole speaker...

    PC Speaker Upgrade, under $300. How's this look?

    I'm personally not a fan of the FIIO products, but the SMSL SD-793 would be an excellent choice if you could fit it into your budget. I was going to suggest the HiFimeDIY Sabre as a cheaper DAC option, but the SD-793 would certainly be a step up as well as giving you the benefit of a headphone...

    PC Speaker Upgrade, under $300. How's this look?

    Yes, this is a terrific choice. Micca MB42x with the SMSL SA-50 is a really great combination for the price. If space was a concern you could try this Martin Logan sub over the Dayton Audio: MartinLogan Dynamo 300 What is the source you would normally be playing out of? If it's coming directly...

    Auralex MoPADs or ISOAcoustics stands

    I went the cheaper route and got some 'knock off' MoPads: http://www.amazon.com/ATS-Acoustic-Foam-Monitor-Isolation/dp/B00MMKP6S2/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1419477016&sr=8-4&keywords=monitor+isolating+pads I do feel like they helped the sound, and I attribute that mainly to the fact the tweeters...

    Speakers vs Headseat ?

    I do not have direct experience with the Audioengine A2+, but as someone with a pretty decent desktop speaker system I would think headphones are better for gaming in general if you do no mind wearing them. That said, and as an owner of the Philips X1's, they are THE MOST comfortable pair of...

    Budget amplifier recommendations?

    SMSL SD793-II I think it offered just as much as the Monoprice DAC/amp combo but at only about ~$60. The only 'downside' to this is that it only uses an optical connection and not USB. As long as you can live with that, this is probably your best bet under $100. You are right to look...

    Wanting To Start Reviews, Thoughts/Suggestions?

    Yeah I've seen that too Sharknice... It would be great to be able to take measurements like that, but it's complicated, costly, and as you said only one surface was used. To do that with the actual gaming mousepads today would be a whole other struggle to get consistent results. I get that...

    Wanting To Start Reviews, Thoughts/Suggestions?

    Yeah I have been considering that myself... It's going to be hard to properly collect raw data because that depends on the surface the mouse is being used on and more... Just to get consistent results would be a challenge.

    Wanting To Start Reviews, Thoughts/Suggestions?

    I am interested in starting up somewhat of a series of reviews on gaming mice. I was just curious and wondering how many people on here feel like there are not enough ‘proper’ reviews on gaming mice? What I mean by proper, in my terms, would be someone with good gaming skills who is not...
