    Thanks. New to the forums, no idea how stuff works yet.
  2. Amosarthus
    Wow. That was fast. So... Browns it is, but anyone actually used them? Debunk the stereotypical "Chinese stuff sucks" myth, maybe?

    Hey guys, So I want to try out mechanical keyboards and see what the big fuss is about. I have tried out a few switches and I think the ones I like best are the Cherry MX Blacks and the Browns (Greens I might like since I like bottoming out my keys but they're practically nonexistent in my country). But the thing is, I like green backlighting. Aaaand..... I absolutely HATE the colour red. I like Razer's Blackwidow Ultimate Stealth as its green is soooo perfect, but unfortunately it uses Kailh "Made in China" Orange Switches. Though they are similar to Browns, I fear for the quality of the switches. And I don't really want RGB as it'll cost quite a lot more.... So, I have come to you guys for help. Are the Razer Switches cheap Chinese crap which will break on me in a year? Is it safe to get the Blackwidow? Or should I get another keyboard, and if so, what is that keyboard? Also, anyone with experience with the 2013 Blackwidow Stealth? Is it good? Also guys, do remember, only Blacks or Browns. No Reds. AND DEFINITELY NO BLUES. I hate the "recoil". I don't mind the clickiness, but that feedback is too strong for my taste. Thanks!

    Also, are USB headphones better than the ones with 3.5mm jacks? Or is the only difference between them the fact that you can't use the USB connector on your phone?

    Thanks for the help, but I think I'm not going for the Tiamat in the near future. Until Surround 7.1 makes more of a difference in games, I think I'll stick with virtual Razer Surround. Btw, how long have you been using the Tiamats? Any wear or tear? Might influence my decision in the future because the Krakens are really horrible. After 1 and a half years, the leatherette cups have torn and the green foam can be seen, tears can be seen on the headband and also the green rubber that coats the bendy part of the mic has torn off. Really sucky. And sad.

    Have you used the Cloud? Issit good? I want comfort because the Krakens (although they are marketed as the most comfortable headsets) hurt my left ear when used for long periods of time. Also, V1500 vs V2100? Does wireless degrade sound quality?
  7. Amosarthus
    Yeah... not quite worth it.... And I'm sure it'll cost more to ship to where I am, hahahaha. Waiting on you, Leadtek!

    Dude, I'm pretty sure OcUK doesn't ship to anywhere BUT the UK.

    Me waiting for this too! Reference GeForce cards FTW!

    Also, will a soundcard make much difference for gaming?
  11. Amosarthus
    Do you have any recommendations? Any headphones you like?

    Hey guys, I'm a gamer and I want to buy a good headset and sound card for gaming. I am NOT an audiophile, but I do listen to music. My current headset is a Razer Kraken Pro, which to be honest, was a waste of money as it is NOT the world's most comfortable headset to my ears. I am not using any sound cards, DACs, or AMPs at the moment (don't know much about them). My motherboard is an ASUS P8Z77-V. I mostly play any game titles that I can get my hands on, FPS included. My music preferences might be weird for some as I mostly listen to soundtracks but also enjoy some Linkin Park, Eminem and classical music (not a basshead). But music is not the main issue here as my main concern is for gaming. I was thinking of going for the Tiamat 7.1s as I heard that they have superb 7.1 Surround Sound and to go with them I was looking at the ASUS ROG Xonar Phoebus as a sound card. But I want to hear what people think before actually throwing my cash on them. If you have any suggestions please leave them below. I know Razer headphones suck (I use one) and I know how many audiophile hate them, but the Tiamat got a lot of positive reviews on its 7.1 audio. I know a lot of the audiophiles out there have something against sound cards (I have no idea why) but as I said, not an audiophile here. Just enjoy good music and gaming audio like the rest of us. Hope you guys can help me out here before I make a purchase. Thanks!

    Maxwell's power consumption. SO DAMN LOW. Awesome for a guy with a shitty PSU.

    Over in my country it costs a bit less than $300.

    Hi, I was for a new gaming monitor when I discovered this baby, the AOC G2460PG. It's 1080p, 144Hz and even has G-Sync. I just want to know if anyone has used it or has any better suggestions for a cheap G-Sync monitor. Link here:http://us.aoc.com/monitor_displays/g2460pg
