    If you would like to program enough macros for an entire MMO raid team,

    haha, yeah that is the only thing about the K95, it could use 10 less macro buttons.

    But regarding the mouse, I am so used to my 12 buttons on the Naga, I don't really wanna miss them (keys like: Enter, Esc, B, M)

  2. Hello everybody!

     

    So my current keyboard is the "G910 Orion Spark" and the mouse "Naga Epic Chroma".

    Now one key broke on my Naga and I was thinking about getting a new keyboard anyways.

     

    About the G910, it's okay to type but after setting up my old G710 (MX Brown) the G910 feels kinda "mushy?" and the non RGB media keys are annoying.

    About the mouse, I would need a few macro buttons (minimum of 2 extra) on it, about the size of the Naga and RGB.

     

    Budget is not a factor!

     

    I was glancing at Corsair now for a while (thanks Linus) and preferably I would like to get the keyboard and mouse

    from the same manufacturer (one software).

     

    How about those:

    Corsair K95 RGB - MX Brown

    Corsair Scimitar RGB

     

    Do you have any other suggestions?

     

    Thank you very much in advance!

  3. Hello everyone!

    So I have 2 Samsung 850 pro 1TB SSDs in my rig (and some other smaller SSDs).

    I am sure this question has been asked 1000s of times, but:

    Is it better to have them separate or in a RAID config? (Currently separate)

     

    Backups aren't a problem and reinstalling windows is (believe it or not) kinda fun for me to do (in case of a hw failure in RAID)

    The config should be for "extreme" use, since I sit on my pc all day long (after work :P).

    I don't do anything special atm (Gaming, surfing,...), but want to be prepared if I do.

     

    Now, would it bring me any significant improvement to run them in RAID? 

    If so, which kind of RAID? (Not really familiar with storage stuff atm) I guess 0?

     

    Thank you very much in advance

    Best regards

    Wait, are you asking this so you can then take the answer to that other thread? :P

    Since he tagged me in this thread, I guess he meant me to follow it too and see the replies ;D

    Now, I found some devices from linksys but those are more for small enterprise use (pretty pricey).

    I guess I will search more tomorrow,

    good night everybody.

    That's good, it probably support load balancing of some sort which is send data to the connection with the most bandwidth available. If it is isp equipment i don't know how much you will be able to configure it and how smart it will be. But that great :)

    Thank you so much for helping!

    I will test it further.

    Unfortunately it is ISP equipment and the settings tab is very limited.

    What country?

     

    What you could do is have your existing routers as routers on either different subnet (e.g DSL is on 192.168.0.x/24, LTE on 192.168.1.x/24 and the main network on 192.168.2.x/24) and the load-balancing/redundancy setup router on another as the subnet everything connects to.

    I am from Austria.

     

    I just found out, that my LTE router has a "LAN1/WAN" port! I just plugged my DSL router in there.

    I would do it this way with these connections.

    You would need a router which support redundant WAN connections with either having build in LTE/DSL modem/conection or having standalone modems which you are connected to the router's WAN ports.

    Those modems could be your existing router in some kind of "modem/bridge mode" or things like NAT, DHCP and DNS off.

    You would have the LTE connection as the primary and if that one fails it uses the DSL connection.

    My routers don't support that option unfortunately, do you have any recommendations?

    Thank you so much btw for your help!

     

    Additionally what I found out was that a lot of routers don't work well with both of my providers since there is a daily reset of the connection.

    Do you want to have the LTE connection as a primary and the DSL as a failover?

    Or do you want load-balancing between the connections?

    How well would the load balance work out?

    A moderately fast and stable connection would be optimal, but as I heard from other sources that's not really possible. Or is it?

     

    LTE as the primary and DSL as a failover sounds like a good deal too, I am fairly new to networking and don't really have a

    clue (yet) how to combine those things or what would be better in terms of stability increase with minimal speed decrease.

  9. Hello everybody!

    So I have:

    • 1 Router with a very slow but stable Internet connection (DSL)
    • 1 Router with a fast but not that stable Internet connection (4G/LTE)
    • 1 (my) main PC (Win 10)
    • 1 PC for my girlfriend who is visiting sometimes (Win 10)

    Now my questions are:

    Is it better to use a switch and connect everything to there or is it better to connect the

    routers directly to the 2 PCs individually and then the 2 PCs together too?? (file transfer)

    Are there any other (better) options?

     

    For the routers: Would it be better (or even work) if I connect them with 2 cables to the same

    network(s)? Since the ports on the routers only have 100mbit.

     

    Costs aren't really a problem, and I have to buy everything new either way(networking cards /

    switch / whateverelse), since atm there are just the 2 PCs and one of them is connected

    to the routers (maybe a NAS will be added).

     

    Thank you very much in advance for any replies!

    If further Information is needed please ask.
