  1. Hello all, my girlfriend has been won over by my mechanical keyboard (corsair K65) and is looking to get her own mechanical keyboard. However she wants a 104 full keyboard layout and the K65 only comes in 10 Keyless layout. So we're looking for -no/removable wrist rest -under £70/$100 -104 full key layout -MX Cherry blues (red acceptable) Cheers for your help.
  2. Thanks for the feedback guys! Yeah having a look at the xbox controller and how the board fits it would be difficult as well as the thumb sticks being in the wrong place for the DS3 shell. ... I sometimes have random ideas which I think would be cool... The internet swiftly puts me into my place - Yeah realistically this would be an over engineered solution to a very minor problem. Just was interested in it.
  3. So I have quite a few games on PC which are best with a controller, or I prefer it anyways, and have been stuck with a default 360 pad (its actually a cheap 3rd party one). I use to be a big Playstation fan and still have my Dualshock 3 controllers, but I basically don't use my PS3 anymore. I have some problems with software and cables working reliably so I wondered if there were any suggestions for a DIY controller mod for putting the guts of the 360 pad into the Dualshock case. So far with a bit of googling I have found a Destructioid article which shows a finished product of what I want to do however there wasn't much on a guide or anything, it seems most people prefer the layout of the 360 pad anyway so less people have made things like this. Failing all this are there any reliable aftermarket D pads for the 360 controller? The disc based dpad is killing me on speedrunning Freedom Planet (2D platformer sonic inspired game) and at the very least the function of a better D pad would suffice with this. This seems like a cool project idea even if its not practical to do, however if you know of any good PC gaming pads (Dualshock layout or decent Dpad) then that may actually just be a more effective way of doing it. Thanks for reading!
  4. I have to say I really like the look of the monitor that OIbaze linked. Would like to thank for everyones input and can't wait to see the difference when I get one
  5. Thank you VK 3 1 RON. Looking into the suggestions now, will see what I think. If anyone else wants to suggest any other specifics then please feel free to as I wont be buying for at least a few days Cheers
  6. So recently I managed to use a super long HDMI to set up a TV from my PC. I don't watch TV normally and have never really thought of comparing how things look. It was clear immediately, the TV had much better colour depth and general reproduction of colour accuracy. To the point its now bugging me slightly watching certain media files on my PC as I feel it would be better on the TV. But the PC Master Race is vast and I only got a cheap monitor (£100 GBP new 2 years ago) So I think an upgrade is in order. Even following Linus Tech Tips and being generally aware of what to look for it is hard to get information about some monitors. I'm currently using an Acer S220HQLBBD Full HD 21.5" LED Monitor. I assume this is a TN panel, the viewing angles are awful and, as mentioned, the colours aren't mega. So I have a budget of £200 for this. (Around $300 USD). I know IPS monitors are considered the best for colour replication and viewing angles so I know to look for that, but I simply don't know the difference between brands or if one is more reliable or suitable for me than another. I am semi competitive with Starcraft 2, and Dota 2 however I don't touch counter strike where response time is arguably more important, and the current 5MS response time of this monitor hasn't been a problem. So to make a list of it, I'm looking for a monitor that -Ideally not more than £200 -Has an IPS panel -Has at least a DVI/HDMI (I don't think my GTX660 has a Thunderbolt out port) -I would like tilt, height and swivel adjustments (though if the IPS is as good as I hear this may not be as important) -Around 22", No bigger than 24" (Current is 21.5 and I'm super happy with that size but it seems more premium monitors are bigger sizes) -Also 1080p 60 is fine for me atm. Though a 120Hz monitor would be awesome I can't run anything consistently at that FPS If someone could point me in the right direction that'd be great or give any advice on this it'd be much appreciated cheers guys!
