  1. 144 Hz, preferably.
  2. I'm looking for a monitor that I'll mostly be using for general use and casual non-FPS gaming. What would be a good monitor to purchase that would be under the budget of $170? Thanks!
  3. I'll save being unique for later then. The decision for now will be between the $39 keycaps and the Razer keycaps. I didn't know where to purchase high quality keycaps before today, so I learned something new! PBT keycaps last a long time, right? So if I settle on a certain keycap, I can just swap them over to a different keyboard when I purchase an upgrade as long as they are compatible? Keyboard backlighting is the lowest priority for me anyway, I have lights in my room, and a window. Keyboard backlighting hurts my eyes for some peculiar reason, I can't really stand it.
  4. I'm not exactly sure yet, I'm mainly looking to explore my options, see what I like/dislike. I made the mistake of starting with Romer-G switches (regretted that one) so I'm trying to go back to the basics to see what I really like in a keyboard before spending hundreds on a premium board or potentially building my own. I know Cherry isn't the "best" when it comes to switches, but I wanted to see what the "original" felt like before branching out to Kailh/Omron/Gateron switches. HyperX was nicely discounted at $50 this Christmas, so I picked it up to use it as a sort of "test" board. The only keycap types I've used so far are cheap ABS plastic, not to mention the basic office keyboard keycaps.
  5. This is the primary concern I have when I see China-based websites. I'll make sure to be careful. KBDFans stuff always looks amazing, oh man are these expensive compared to the others, though! I do love the Korean keyset... are the quality of these really that much higher than say, these keycaps valued at $39?
  6. All good, I just wanted to make sure. I'm pretty new to this, definitely could have been my misunderstanding.
  7. From their website, it says they also include the standard bottom row as well. Is this not true anymore?
  8. Money wise, I would have to say I'm loathe to spend any amount over $50 US. I'll save the super expensive, premium keycap purchase to when I get enough experience to buy a high-quality board in the future. I took a look at the HyperX "Pudding" keycaps and I can't say I'm a fan of that style. I rarely use backlighting on my keyboards (RGB is overrated and I like my room very bright). I can't really justify the "translucent" look other than if you value the lighting effects of the keyboard. Razer sounds like a good option, but from what I've heard from the community about Razer products in general, I don't know if I would trust their quality. They certainly look nice, and if someone tells me otherwise, Razer's keycaps look perfect. I would like standard black or white keycaps that don't try to be flashy and unique, if possible. Something simple and effective. I suppose I would also need to invest into a decent keycap puller?
  9. Two days ago, I bought the HyperX Alloy FPS Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Cherry MX Blue switches as a sort of "entry level" mechanical keyboard to play around with. I would like to replace the keycaps on this keyboard to PBT keycaps, but am not sure where to get them outside of the usual Razer/HyperX brands. Where would I be able to find some good quality, simple keycaps that will last a long time but won't drill a hole in my bank account? Are the Razer keycaps a good choice?
  10. I love your sense of humor. +1 for you, good person! Made me laugh. So would you say a hard pad is at least worth trying? I've only ever used soft mouse pads for my mice, and I assume because hard mousepads are hard material, they'll last longer than soft mousepads. The only concern I have about hard mousepads is that they will "deteriorate" the bottom of my mouse.
  11. Mousepad question: What is the difference between a hard pad, and a soft pad? If one were to purchase one, would it be better to get one that is big enough to be considered a tablecloth compared to a small one? Is there a difference between a "gaming" mousepad and a "regular" mousepad? Mouse Bungee question: What is the purpose of a bungee? Is there a big difference in performance between a $10 bungee and a $50 bungee?
  12. If a Logitech M100 lasted you six years, a Logitech G502 Hero will last you for at least 20 or more. I also had a Logitech M100 for about 10 or so years (it still works perfectly, I might add) before I decided to get an upgrade. I bought the G502 Hero as an upgrade two months ago, and it is fantastic. The mouse is built like a tank. You can use it for home defense, and reliably go back to using for its intended purpose right afterwards with zero damage to the mouse other than maybe a few stains. The only downside for you might be its large size, and heavy weight. Both are easily worked around as I have medium sized hands, but I was able to use the mouse very comfortably after the first two days. The price for the G502 SE is also only $30 currently. It may seem like a huge jump in price after using a $10 mouse for so long, but it's a $30 mouse that will most likely last you five times longer than the M100. That alone screams cost efficiency.
  13. I would agree with this and also highly recommend a G502 SE. Pros: Built to last. If your old mouse lasted you that long, this mouse might as well last you your entire life and long enough to pass down to the next generation. Top quality sensor Insane productivity with the infinite scroll wheel, 11 programmable buttons, and RGB (RGB increases productivity) Ergonomic design Cost effective, especially now when it's $30 Cons: Heavy weight if you aren't used to it Big size Logitech G Hub, their software, is bad.
  14. I would recommend the Logitech G502 SE, it is currently around $29.99 on Amazon. I haven't had mine for very long (around two months), but it is a fantastic mouse. The extra buttons for productivity, good weight for arm workouts (joke), and at a price that qualifies as "budget", I highly recommend this mouse. When pinch comes to shove, you can even use it as a home defense tool, plug it back in and it'll work perfectly fine. https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-G-910-005728-G502-Hero/dp/B07PHLBBQR
  15. Looks like a solid device, I'll take a detailed look at it. Thanks!
