I wouldn't call the logitech keycaps premium abs but it surely can feel better than the rk pbt keycaps ... personally I think it might be a matter of thickness ... thicker plastic might feel more premium than thinner one ... also maybe it's the profile they use ... some profile might feel cheaper to you than some other. The nicest keycap set I have is an SA profile abs glossy set ... but even tho it feels and looks premium well I don't really like SA profile so I prefer using dsa or xda set I have which are pbt

I had a good experience with xtrfy m42 mouse ... not saying that all their mouse are good but that one is pretty nice. also had a nice time with my akko 3068b keyboard ... they usually make solid board but not sure their mouse are good

So in the end I got that power switch from mouser.ca https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Dailywell/1MD1T1B4M7CES?qs=B6kkDfuK7%2FAJbbilgQl4YQ%3D%3D&countrycode=CA&currencycode=CAD I screwed up the repair probably cause lack of skill, really bad soldering iron and no flux ... I ended up tearing a contact pad so ruining the pcb. In the end I just got a brand new magni 3+

It will work with the cpu, but it just won't run at the speed stated by the ram kit cause the cpu might not be able to I would get the a 3200 or 3600 kit (not corsair lpx tho) and just use it at whichever speed the cpu memory controller is able to handle (probably 3000 from what I remember reading). a cpu upgrade would be really good in the near future ... something like a used 3600 or 5600 would be quite nice upgrade and those don't have any problem running 3600 ram kit.

check out leopold offering and specially with silent switches like silent red ... or get something hotswappable and get some silent switches like the kailh silent box switches, gateron silent line, boba have some silent switches too ... red and brown are not quiet by any means ... they don't have click mechanism but still make noise when typing, silent switches have rubber dampers on the steam that dampens the sound when typing. That is what will sound the most quiet besides something like a silenced topre keyboard.

I don't need media control on my keyboard ... some keyboard with knob can be use for video editing if it's map-able

I have the sponge switches and I can't recommend them ... might want to look for the akko ocean blue or the akko lavender purple instead ... between those three the lavender purple are my favourites and the ones that feels the smoothest.

the unit barely turns on ... I have to play with the switch in order to get it to work and it sometimes just turn off by itself for no reason ... the contact inside the switch is not good anymore so I have to get a new switch to replace the faulty one.

thanx, I'll check those out. As for the modi 2, I've noticed that it sounded different than the topping d20 I have but as for noise floor or distortion I really haven't heard any difference. And even tho they sound different I can't say which one I like better. Maybe the d20 is brighter and the modi 2 is warmer and a bit less detailed ... that's probably how I would describe them with the limited audio terminology I have. Even tho it's good enough I still might try to get a modi 3+ and either sell the modi 2 or replace the topping d20 with the modi 2, still not sure about that tho. I'm also tempted to get a Cambridge Audio dac to replace the d20.

yes the g305 is really nice ... you can get an adapter to use AAA instead of AA battery which reduce the weight of it. Also if you use lithium battery, they will most likely last for more than a year unless you're gaming 18h/24h ... The nice thing about the 305 is that some people make 3d printed lightweight shell for them, so you can end up reducing the weight of it significantly ... but it add to the total cost. There's the razer orochi that has some good reviews, but I don' know how good it really is ... same for the viper and viper mini.

I have the cooler master mm710 and the xtrfy m42 and I like them both. Hardware canuck just released their top mouse of the year ... you can also check out their older video like that, that will give you an idea.

So I got a used magni 3+ and the power switch got damaged during shipping ... it's now without a click and you can push it inside quite far without resistance. I've contacted schiit and they said that they can repair it for quite a fair price but the problem resides in the price of the shipping ... all in all, shipping it back an forth from Quebec would cost more than what I've paid the unit. My question would be, what kind of switch should I get to replace the stock one ? Do any of you have any model, part number or some link for me that would make it not that expensive to fix it. I can do the repair myself, it's not something that complicated, but I just want to be sure to get the right switch. Also on another subject, I have a modi 2 and I've heard it was not that good of a dac and also the finish on it doesn't match the rest of the stack. Would I hear an improvement in sound quality by getting the modi 3+ or would it just be about the same except that the stack will look better that way ? Thanx for the help.

about one year and a half cause I couldn't tolerate the spring ping anymore ... you should check if the k552 you want to get is hotswappable or not ... if it is then it's quite easy to replace the switches with either an original outemu one or something that I would say would be better like some akko (really inexpensive) or boba. cherry is clearly not the golden standard ... well not anymore ... and imo the cherry brown are really meh compared to other tactiles I've tried be aware that the k552 sound really hollow and that the metal plate tend to amplify the sound of the switches specially the spring ping ... I had some blue and got tired of them not cause of the click jacket in the first place but cause of the spring ping that was resonating through all the keyboard. I'm in the quite slow (cause lack of motivation) process of modding and I hope to improve things a bit with some foam and padding inside ... also some tape mods and a stabilizer lube job ... will probably put some akko ocean blue in there too just to get rid of the outemu blue

silent red are silenced switches with rubber damper ... of course you'll get some noise if you hammer them like a gorilla also no switches is completely silent, even topre are not and those are rubber dome ... but usually they are silent specially compared to switches that doesn't have bumpers in them like red and brown ... also I know that there's more quiet switches than those of course but the silent red still are silent ones what you hear in there are mostly the stabilizers rattling
