    This is my whole office setup, both my PC and just my office in general, the PC Specs are

        Ryzen 9 3900X
        ASUS ROG STRIX X 470 F
        Corsair Vengeance Pro 32GB 3200mhz DDR4
        EVGA 2080 FTW3
        NZXT H7 Flow
        1 X WD 1TB HDD
        2 X Seagate 2TB HDD
        1 Silicon Power 256gb SSD
        1 WD Blue 500GB NVME
        EVGA 850 BQ
        LG 27GN800-B Ultragear Gaming Monitor 27" QHD
        Acer KG241Q Pbiip 23.6" Full HD (1920 x 1080) TN 144Hz
       Samsung A6 Tablet
       The laptop below is the 4th display and I'll put more about that down below
        Cooling
        Cooler Master Hyper 212
        6 Deep Cool ARGB 120MM Fans (3 On rad, 1 in the back, 2 on top.)
        Logitech G915TKL
        Logitech G502 Lightspeed
        Scarlet Focus Rite Solo
        Audio-Technica AT2020
        Logitech G535 Wireless
        Operating System
        Windows 11
       
    The laptop is an MSI GF63 it is the I5 1550ti variant great gaming laptop tbh but I use it more as an extra display
     
    For the tablet and the laptop I use a program that I highly recommend to people called Space-desk, its a display over network service that's completely free for commercial use, and with my internet connection it does super well, and I have never really had any connectivity issues except for when Space-desk has an update available, but once the update is done its right back, I've got it going constantly too, and it hasn't put much weight on my bandwidth, the resolution is dependent on the device you're using as a display, sorry this is starting to sound like I'm shilling but either way I highly recommend checking it out, it works amazingly well and I've never seen a better solution for this, and it doesn't seem to put a whole lot of load on the PC either.
     
    My wallpapers are all through Wallpaper Engine, and I also use Steel series Sonar for audio management when I'm streaming and while it doesn't have any shortcuts for the stream deck its super easy to set up macros that handle my volume mix and there's a great streamer mode but I haven't really touched it much.
     
    The little tabletop arcade cabinet, is running a Pandora's Box DX that was a huge upgrade from the Pandora's Box 4, I'm currently sitting at like 1003 games but its not been used in a while due to needing a new power supply and the cabinet itself needing some work
     
    I have a HTC Vive for my VR setup and recently I purchased the Index controllers as I'm slowly looking to turn my vive setup to an index one now that I have the knowledge that I can use the index with the vive light houses, I mostly just use it for VRChat and Blades and Sorcery.
     
    I also have a Thrustmaster steering wheel and pedal set that I use to play Assetto Corsa so like if anyone wants to teach me to be better at racing in AC I'd appreciate it because I'm pretty awful.
     
    Ummm my current primary browser is Opera GX but I'm probably switching back to Firefox because I've been using it more and more lately
     
    and lastly the chair is a Serta Executive and it is better then any gaming chair I've ever sat in especially as someone on the big and tall spectrum.

    The bottom layer of foam, or "case foam," absorbs the sound that is reverberating inside the board. It is often referred to as the "hollow" sound as you're typing. You might have it in yours as well? Not sure if the G915 has bottom foam. It doesn't take much foam to get rid of the hollow sound.
     
    I provided a link to PE foam tape because it's easier to shape. Plus you get a lot more than a dedicated EVA, PE, or Poron foam sheet. The bottoms of these plastic cases usually have thicker and taller sections of plastic to help with rigidity and reduce bending (or flexure if you're a civil nerd), which are called stiffeners, but sometimes the PCB rests directly on them as well. So there isn't enough room for a continuous foam with some boards and PCB combos. Your cuts don't have to be perfect either. I usually cut my foam into small squares that fit inside the grids created by the stiffener sections.
     
    This is completely an optional step. That's why I labeled it as a mod. You will need a decent pick kit to help you get into the cases and some smaller Philips screw drivers. Get the board/pcb, the switches, the key caps, and then consider mods.
     
    All this might be less of an issue if you get a metal board. I believe those have a flat bottom because they don't require extra rigidity. But you still have the hollowness sound. It's a cheap, fun little project.
     
    If you buy the fancy barebones kits, they will come with all the foam and everything you need in one package. Even the Epomaker I linked comes with a small piece of case foam, but it still sounds very hollow. And they sell foam sheet without adhesive, but you still have to cut them to shape around screw holes, the stiffeners, connectors, and other protrusions. It's less forgiving in my opinion. I've found the tape a lot more manageable.
     
    Sorry I don't normally talk this much

    Isn't that an insanely expensive keyboard? Overall I can't blame you. I have a g-pro from 2017/2018 era and I just can't with it anymore... 
     
    Here are a few simple items for your consideration that won't break the bank. But you have to give some consideration to the switches and key caps. I used to be a huge tactile fan, but the Gateron pro yellows linear have won my heart.
     
    Custom key caps are all over the place too. Picking a profile is tough, but you can't go wrong with OEM or Cherry profiles. I fell in love wit MDA, but they are rare. XDA is easy to find and they take a little while to get used to. Slightly taller keys, but that's what I am using now. I would avoid ABS plastic just because there are better options. PBT should be a minimum. You can get PBT if you want to see the light shine through the cap from the keyboard LEDs. Or you can get dye sublimination PBT, which is limited to solid caps (no shine through) and brighter colors.

    End game beginner board:
    Board and PCB and some foam: https://www.amazon.com/EPOMAKER-Bluetooth-Mechanical-Keyboard-Capacity/dp/B0BMKBMCS2 This board is hot swappable, gasket mounted, plenty of room for more foam modding, aluminum knob, completely programmable, plus a limited FN layer for custom macros, wired/radio/3 device BT. The only problem is the LEDs completely suck for matching the on screen color. Yellow doesn't exist lol
     
     
    Subjective Items:
    Caps: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B24KY398 (don't buy the other ones from this seller, it's just mint (XDA) or sakura (Cherry) ones that are really good!)
     
    Linear Switches (pre-lubed): https://www.amazon.com/Gateron-Switches-Pre-lubed-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B09VBKZPMW 
    The gateron pro line is nice because all the switches are factory lubed. Great or not is another question... it's a huge upgrade and saves you HOURS. Good for beginners. You are on your own for switches.. there's so MANY
     
     
    Basic Mods: 
    Foam Tape (cut to size, easy to store, I would just place it tape side down without removing the film... keeps it cleaner and no adhesive or residue to deal with): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TL82123 (don't put tape over the battery)

    So for anyone that seen me post about it before, my PC was crashing, everything going black screen, couldn't turn it off without flipping the power switch, welllll I did a format of all of my hard drives which needed to be done anyway because I had a bunch of crap on my computer anyway, so I did it on Sunday, and other than restarts for reinstalling drivers and things, and its been 5 days, and I've had no crashes. Well one of the times it crashed before I cleared everything it booted into a disk check. I was told that clearing everything wouldn't fix it but I haven't had any issues since the restart, can anyone tell me why a simple format of everything fixed my issue?
     
    Now before this I'd swapped graphics cards, reseated ram, literally everything short of replacing everything all together. Then I simply wiped everything, didn't even do like a fresh windows install, but this ended up being the fix for it.
