Silent is a strong word. The amount of sound that a keyboard makes during use depends on more than the switch. The material of the keys, the plate, any padding, the switch, and the typist all come in to effect. In general though, linear switches tend to be a little quieter than tactile or...
I have used the magicforce, it is one of my backups. It is an excellent board, especially for the price. The cable plug position is a little annoying, it is routed through a channel to the mid area of the underside of the board.
I have had my eye on the Gramr, it is a very cheap entry to the...
My girlfriend has a B350m Mortar in her Ryzen machine, and it was awesome to work with, and very well priced. She runs it often and hard, and has had no issues with it at all.
Supposedly in certain resource hogging games RAM can make more of a difference, so maybe more CPU centric games in general. You are right though, it looks like the difference between 3000 and 4000 is not a whole lot, and rarely more than 8 FPS or so.
Hmm, I had not thought about my RAM being a bottleneck. I don't think it has been an issue at 1440p, outside of games like PUBG, but you are right, I can see that being a problem at 2160p. I may have to bite the overpriced RAM bullet at some point in the not too distant future!
You make some very compelling points! I have only had my topre board for about a year now, so I am not sure about the longevity. If it starts to deteriorate to soon I will definitely jump ship. For gaming, I tend to prefer my MX Red board, as I can lean toggle much smoother without the bump. For...
Honestly, I tend to play competitive shooters, so all the settings are not necessary. At 1440p with settings turned down to best reaction speeds, my Titan Xp can keep R6 at 165Hz, but it dips a little too often for my taste. If the new cards can do that at 4k I will be interested. I do not mean...
Well, it is a little out of left field, but the Havit Ergo is huge. To be clear, you are gaming on your mice these days? If so, this would likely be kinda bad.

Tempting, but doubt I will get enough of a bump in my day to day use to make it worth the upgrade. Hopefully the 9th gen i7 will be 8c 16t and 5ghz, and it better be a lot better than the 2700. Otherwise I will likely switch teams at my next refresh.
If the 1180ti can push 144/165 hz 4k I will be all over it. I kinda doubt that it will though. Maybe it is just me, but I tend to notice lower frames a lot more than lower resolution.
I think that the Doom material would be better served by a short, 20 minute format. Just make it loud, visceral, brutal, and with an amazing metal score. Zero lines for Doomguy. High budget CGI. I would pay good money for that.
Yes, the elitekeyboards solution is much more reasonable. As per usual though, elitekeyboards does a terrible job of keeping things in stock. They have so many exclusive rights for resale in the US, yet seem to be dedicated to not making money.
They can be bought "new" still, for those who have an affinity for the membrane/rubber dome feel.

Good for AMD! I hope this is just the start of a long upward trend for them. They need to make a module that can be attached to G-sync monitors, to enable Freesync! That would make my day.
I am glad I am not the only one who feels blind when I can't hear stuff!
I think I will try some more experimenting with other games in my library, to see if there is any predictability or pattern across engine/developer.
So I am by no means an audiophile, but isn't it possible that individual games settings might make stereo or "7.1" better? Not better in a sound quality sense, but better in an exploitation of positional sound information? I know that this tends to be a subjective topic, but I have found that I...
Wait, so I am confused, are you looking for a case that can support a 480mm rad, or dual 480mm rads? As far as cool factor goes, why not consider the TT Tower 900? They can handle up to dual 560mm, and are pretty cool at $250.

Sea of Thieves gets a lot of things right, but I feel like it would have been more appetizing for a lot of people if it was priced a little lower. At least for now, if they add more content later on, things could change. I love playing the game with my younger relatives though, and I think it...
It sounds like you would probably love a lot of the boards out there! I will focus on stuff that hasn't already been linked, as they have a lot of good options here already.
As far as a tactile with lower actuation force than MX browns, I would say you should try out Topre if you can. They are...
I am not sure who the target market for this kind of video is. Forget microdosing, this guy is on the next level. Presentation aside, I would like to see intel actually put a decent product out.
I used to have blank caps on my HHKB, but whenever my girlfriend used my pc she would complain, as it only exacerbated the difficulty of adapting to the alternative layout. Overall, I really don't notice a difference with or without them.
If you can sell your current stuff to offset the price of the upgrade, and if the percentage of increased performance makes sense to you when compared to the left over cost, sure, upgrade! That is my usual decision matrix.
Sounds like you should go all the way to the dark side. You could probably get this board custom made for you, but the cost would likely be ~$500+
Also, you would probably not be able to test, unless you knew the person making it. But let it not be said that what you want cannot be done!
Hey, I might be able to give you some advice, and a few links to some decent options. What are some of your preferences? If you can tell me about the following I will get back to you!
Budget
Size (100%, TKL, 75%, 60% etc.)
Layout (ISO enter, etc.)
Switch preference (not just a color if...
I know it may not really matter in the end, but if it weren't for crypto miners, I feel like there would be a lot more AMD gpus being used for gaming. Of course it goes both ways, but especially at first the RX 470/480/570/580 were being snapped up like like the marshmallows in a bowl of lucky...
I would have loved being able to play games on school time! If the jocks get football practice, the nerds should too!
But I agree with you. And if the news is to be believed, kids are already playing a ton of fortnite in class anyway.
