Introducing the new, AirMuffs.

I like the image that Intel is like the Internet Explorer of the CPU space in this context regarding shrinks.

The Gateron Ink Black is essentially a Gateron Black with a transparent, smoky housing and a black stem, and is highly regarded as one of, if not the most smooth MX-style switch on the market, rivaling that of Zeal's Tealios V2, and the Vintage Black. The Ink Black is a fairly medium-weighted switch, requiring 60g of force to actuate and 70g of force to completely bottom out. My personal preferred weight for linear switches is anywhere between 62g to 67g so the 60g of actuation force is very welcome. I personally like to use my linear switches lubed, but the Gateron Ink Black is one of those switches that doesn't require that treatment to be a smooth switch. It's a fantastic switch at stock, and is probably one of three switches that I'd consider using stock, next to the Tealios V2 and the NovelKeys Cream. The Gateron Ink Black is super smooth even without lube. With that being said, I still lubed my Gateron Ink Blacks with Tribosys 3204 as I felt that it didn't require thick lube like Krytox 205g0, and it made it even smoother. I did heavily lube my switch, but it did not interfere with the travel, actuation, upstroke, return, or keypress of the switch in any way, and I prefer heavily lubing my linears as it ensures 100% smoothness. Again, not that the Ink Black needed that in the first place, regardless. In my time scouting the switch market, I can find Ink Blacks for around $0.75-$0.80 a switch, which is fairly expensive considering the other offerings on the market, such as regular Gaterons, which can retail for as low as $0.30 a switch. However, I am confident that expending a bit more for the Ink Blacks will work in everybody who is considering a linear switch's favor, as the smoothness - once again, even at stock and unlubed - is rivalled only by the most elite switches such as the Tealios V2 and the Vintage Black - and those go for $1+ per switch each for what I can perceive having using Tealios V2 extensively as minimal improvement. In fact, since using the Ink Blacks, they've become my top 2 linear switch next to the Tealios who edges it out as a close winner. The Ink Black is smooth in every regard and the spring is really high quality. The spring feels robust and full which gives the Ink Black an ultra satisfying keypress travel. The Tealios on the other hand has a fairly hollow spring which is susceptible to pinging. If you're in the market for one of, if not the smoothest, linear, MX-style switch on the market for under $1 per switch, you cannot go wrong with the Ink Black. Ultra smooth stem, silky smooth housing, satisfying spring sturdiness, and excellent lubing capability, making it a solid linear switch.

The G502 is a really heavy mouse, wouldn't recommend it for serious gaming.

Entirely possible since I've recently had one of my Tealios switch die on me, I think I can fix it by adjusting the leaf inside by disassembling the switch though so I'm good in that regard. If you're up for it, would definitely recommend opening up and seeing if the switch is the issue. Yes!

Back when VAR was introduced, I thought the teams playing would be able to request a review upon a call, but ultimately the decision to check is up to the referee and it baffles me that the referee - and his assistants - to decide the final call on whether to review it. Would definitely be in favour of teams being able to request a VAR check, say perhaps 3 max per game, so that the referee is required to check the footage back for maximum transparency on a play. Neymar, Ronaldo, and Suarez wouldn't even be able to play 10 minutes on the field.

Heyyo, fellow Gfriend fan!

To be honest, why use DisplayPort when you're not going to take advantage of it, whether it be high refresh or high resolution, which is why I stick with HDMI.

Might be an obvious suggestion, but have you tried looking up some teardown videos/guides on the Corsair K95 and finding a resolution for if you can take apart the keyboard? Might give you a definite answer on whether you're able to access the culprit switch for re-soldering.

I actually haven't seen the new Cache in person yet, I've watched videos about the new Cache but I am curious to see it for myself, I've not played Global Offensive for about 4 months now.

Not gonna lie when I say I would like to see that happen. Curious if ray-traced Counter-Strike were to happen, would it be on the Source engine or would Valve need to create a new engine to support ray-tracing?

My point is I don't like leaks and will only trust the real thing.

I'll believe it when I see it, and even if I see it, what are the chances of it being not a 14nm+++++ referesh?

Source: The Verge Major investors (can we even call them that anymore?) Visa, Mastercard, eBay, Stripe, & Mercado Pago have withdrawn from Facebook's Libra cryoptocurrency association. This comes after eBay started the exits last week. eBay & Stripe gave statements on their stance on the Facebook Libra Association: Libra's Dante Disparte then responded to the exits by shedding light upon the situation and giving a final word on the association. I don't follow cryptocurrencies at all, but the fact tha eBay, Visa, & Mastercard have all pulled out probably says something about what could come out of Facebook's new cryptocurrency campaign. The backers behind Libra still seem ambitious about the campaign so I'm interested to see how it all pans out. It's Facebook though, so don't hold your breath.
