SubZeroDX reacted to StDragon in Searching a laptop around $1060 for college
I recommend at least 16GB of RAM and a CPU of your choice with integrated graphics (aka, Intel iGPU or AMD APU).
Also look into extended warranty options and accidental damage coverage options too (both are separate add-ons). It will raise the cost, but this is long-term usage and you don't want to be out of pocket with an unexpected expense you might not be able to afford later.
Just my 2 cents.

Hi,
Take a look at tuxedo, they have good things for a low price, like the aura 15.
Just don't take too low specs, for example the CPU should be the ryzen 7 for what you want to do.

SubZeroDX reacted to Gale in Help me find a budget mechanical keyboard
Amazon is actually a decent option when it comes to budget keycaps, but they are usually fairly limited in their variety. Your local Amazon website might have some AZERTY sets.
WASD Keyboards sells custom keycap sets; you can customize the colors, legends, etc. But obviously, they are more expensive. CandyKeys is a EU-based website, but they are also on the premium side. There are way more options, I'm sure others will give you better options. 😄
When it comes to the kind of keycaps, that's a deep rabbit hole of its own. Material (PBT vs ABS), profile (uniform vs sculpted), etc. I personally prefer PBT mainly because they do not attract finger oil as easily as ABS. I think that's a good beginning point for someone who's starting out.

Or even better (because its free): move the existing qwerty keycaps around to AZERTY layout. All OP need to do is to go to language settings in windows and go to the keyboard options in the language options.
And thats quite common on a Romer-G stem (also a G413 ex user), the best thing to do in that case really is to do the old cherry MX trick of filling the gaps with clear scotch tape. It can help, but afaik Its unfixable beyond having to replace the switch entirely. Thanks Logitech.
Anyway, for that price, check around redragon's mechanical keyboard offering or the similar chassis that looks like what they use. Other brands i would trust in that low of a budget is Magicforce, old Corsair, and Azio.

There is an issue with doing this unless OP picks a keyboard that has universal height keycaps, which, for mechanical in that price-point I'm not sure exists. They will have keys at all random row heights throughout the keyboard, which would be very uncomfortable to type and game on.
With the requirements set I'm not sure if I can offer any advise that doesn't go over budget, especially because I cannot consider the difference in prices due to our different re-sellers and countries. You may try, though, picking up a keyboard with either blank or qwerty keycaps and then using stickers from somewhere like https://keyoverlay.com/
and placing the smaller stickers on the front side of the keycaps. Personally, I have a custom keyboard that I built and use Colemak DHm layout and this has worked great for me. That's obviously going to take more effort, though.
Honestly, not considering layout or retailers available to you, I'd be looking at either Gateron or Kailh switch keyboards both brands have come a long way. In my honest opinion, I personally feel that Gateron especially has surpassed Cherry in quality, while being much more likely to be found in the price bracket that you're talking about.
Hope that helps.

Probably I copied the wrong model number
The model itself is more important, model number don't matter - only difference is specs
