Closing Comments
If you’d like to thank anyone for the giveaway, thank Den? I mean, I’ll accept part of the gratitude (I am hosting it with muh own pocket money, after all), but Den’s generosity is the motivating force behind thing give-a-thingymajigy. IDK if it makes sense to y’all, it makes sense in my drink-addled brain. 😆
 
‘Chew has been busy recently and won’t have a lot of time to actively monitor the thread. I’m humbly asking for your patience if there are any questions or delays with announcements and messages.
 
Also, er, please do bring up any inconsistencies or contradictions to my attention? I sorta wrote this in a rush, with a bit of alcohol in my body -- i.e. not the most sober state of mind. 🥂
 
 Above all, have fun!

I spent about $2300 on a pc so you'd think this would be able to run everything smoothly and without problems but you can think again. Obviously I'm buying this to rip games on, but Ill get to it. I'll be playing some games for like 15 minutes then all of a sudden my screen goes black, my audio cuts out, my voice also cuts out, I disconnect from the game and the discord call. Now what's strange is my PC doesn't just fully turn off the power stays on, RGB still shining like Linus loves to see and the fans keep spinning like I got some 50s on that mf. Now this happens 100% of the time CS:GO and very rarely on other games but once in a blue moon it even happened once while I was playing PGA tour 19 like cmon now son. My drivers are fully up to date, my windows is fully up to date, I've watched probably every video on the damn internet trying to fix this shit done about 1600 things in the files n settings trying to fix this problem I really just have no brain power left to try to solve this issue. The specs on guy are Ryzen 5 3600, Geforce 2070 Super, 16gbs RAM, 1TB m.2, MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon Max WIFI Motherboard, things got enough air flow dw, and a Cosair CV650 Bronze rated lol. I just wanted to post on here to see if any of you guys can help a brotha out before i take this thing in to see what the hell be going on in the mf anything at this point would be much appreciated. Thanks brothas
 

agreed i think we should have a case fan teir list, id go for something like the artic p12  fans with phanteks halo ring 

Identify the Switch! - $20 MK Gift Certificate or $10 Steam Gift Card Giveaway
A MechanicalKeyboards.com Gift Certificate or a Steam Digital Gift Card!
 

 
Den-Fi's GK64 and Numpad - Generously Gifted by Den-Fi 
No, I am not giving away and I will never give away the Keyboard and Numpad. Not even after death.
I'm assuming there's nothing of monetary value I can give to Den that he would also want, so I'm showing my gratitude in other ways. Namely, give-a-ways, ayyy...
Receiving something without giving anything back makes me feel awfully restless, IDK.
 
To Enter
There are three sound samples below, recorded with Den-Fi's GK64 Keyboard and Numpad pictured above. Identify the mechanical switch that was used in each sound sample.
 
Sound Sample 1:
Sound Sample 2:
Sound Sample 3:
 
Template:
Entrants are not required to use the template, but please read the stipulations below.
Sound Sample 1: Sound Sample 2: Sound Sample 3:  
Useless Clues & FAQs:
I believe the Keyboard uses a GK64S PCB, an aluminum mounting plate, and a wooden case. I will not provide additional photos of the Keyboard and Numpad until after the giveaway has closed. I will not record additional sound samples of the Keyboard and Numpad until after the giveaway has closed. I will not answer any questions about the Numpad. I will not answer whether a sound sample belongs to the Keyboard or the Numpad.  
 
Giveaway Results
The giveaway will be closed to entries 36 hours after the start of this thread. The winning entrant will be selected and will be announced 30 minutes after the giveaway has closed, in a status update. The winning entrant will have 12 hours to PM me with their gift choice, along with their email for the MK Gift Certificate, or their Steam username for the Steam Digital Gift Card. I will only attempt to send the gift once. If the MK Gift Certificate is chosen, the winning entrant must provide me their email address for the gifting to work. If the Steam Digital Gift Card is chosen, the winning entrant must allow me to add their Steam name to my friends list, and must wait 3 days after they have been added to my Steam friends list for the gifting to work.   If the winning entrant does not fulfill the winning conditions, another entrant will be selected as the winner.  
Winning Conditions:
The winning entrant must correctly identify the mechanical switch that was used in each of the three sound samples. If no entrant has correctly identified the switches for all three sound samples, the winning entrant will be one that has correctly identified the switch used in two of the three sound samples. If no entrant has correctly identified the switches for two of the three sound samples, the winning entrant will be one that has correctly identified the switch used in one of the sound samples. If no entrant has correctly identified the switches used in any of the sound samples, a random name picker will be used to select among all entrants with valid entries. If more than one entrant fulfills the winning conditions, a random name picker will be used to select among the qualified entrants.  
 
Stipulations

Stipulations may be subject to change. If changes occur, I will make a post in this thread about it.  
 
Closing Comments
I will be upfront and will admit that some forum members have a slight advantage over others in the identification game. Den-Fi is also more than welcome to join the giveaway, if he should wish.
 
Have fun~ 😁

Then it means you have plugged in a monitor into the motherboard. If you have a dedicated GPU your monitor or monitors should only plug into the gpu and not the motherboard itself.
