Thanks for the suggestions everyone! In a weird twist, I did nothing with the keyboard, had a hunch to try it this morning, and it seems to be working as normal again I'm probably still going to look at replacements as I don't really trust it to last much longer given the damage liquid can cause, but she lives!!!!

I get you, just had it for so long that it's almost like losing a friend at this point

Hello all, Today I look to be saying goodbye to my Corsair K70 RGB with Brown switches. It's my own fault, I was getting my second coffee of the day ready for work at home and spilt it all over my cheap work keyboard (RIP Random membrane KB too). Unluckily for me, my K70 was behind that keyboard and took some splash damage. I immediately tried to dry her out, followed by frantically opening her up (not the first time a drinks related incident has happened to this keyboard) and cleaning anything I could see with Isopropyl Alcohol. After that, I left her alone for a few hours whilst I finished my work day. I'm back with her now, plugged her into my old laptop that I keep around for troubleshooting purposes, and she starts going beserk. Before I know it, my display is upside down and at 1600x zoom. Panic ensures and I unplug her. After a little more cleaning, I plugged her back in again, and to my surprise things seem normal, at first... I open up a keyboard tester and immediately there's an issue. Shift is not only being pressed, but constantly pressed and depressed. I'm not sure which switch key it is, but I would assume the right one given that the switch has a coffee brown hue to it now. Sadly, this is where I think her journey is coming to an end. I've had her for nearly 5 years, and she was always good to me, giving me satisfying typing and gaming experiences right to the end. Unless anybody here can help me, I think her time has come. RIP K70 RGB, you will be sorely missed...

This is great and all, but when can we expect a review of the Fractal Design Define R4?

As explained in this Youtube Video from NGON, a channel run by the developers of Ubisoft's Uplay PC client, Rainbox Six: Siege will support the Vulkan API from Patch 4.3, which should be coming soon. According to Ubisoft, this option will be available on all GPUs that support the Vulkan API, which are any Kepler GPU or newer from Nvidia (GTX 6 series and above), GCN1 and newer from AMD (Radeon HD 77XX series and newer), and Intel CPUs with Intel HD Graphic 5XX and newer (mostly Core iX-6XXX CPUs and newer). To launch Rainbow Six: Siege on Vulkan (once the patch drops), players will be able to "select the appropriate play button when launching the game on PC". On Uplay that will look like this: (No news on Steam support yet, however I believe Steam users can launch the game direct from Uplay anyway). It may just be me, but it seemed like Vulkan fell off of the face of the earch back when DX12 was announced. As an avid R6 Siege player, I was surprised by the announcement, and I'm excited for the potential performance improvements Vulkan may bring. That being said, I'm not getting carried away just yet. You can read more about this on the Rainbox Six Vulkan API Blog here. What do you guys think? A big change for an older game that could help a lot of people, or a technical exercise with no real benefit to end users?

This really helped, especially the PCPP search, thank you. Looks like I have some decisions to make

it is, but after a few house moves it's starting to look battered and old and some of the internals are falling apart

Hi Guys, My old Fractal Design Define S is a great case, but it's starting to look a little dated and some of the screw holes for the GPU brackets have de-threaded, so I think it's time i start to look for a new case. I'm looking for one that has the following features: ATX Motherboard support (EATX would be nice as I could look at changing my ageing mobo for an EATX X99 board I've seen on ebay, but ATX would also be fine) Tempered Glass Side Panel (Just the left panel is fine) 280mm Radiator support (for a Corsair H110i) USB Type-C Front Panel Connector (Optional, but would prefer this over RGB) RGB Lighting included (Optional) Has anyone got anything like this that they could recommend? I'm in the UK and I don't have a strict budget as such, £100 and under would be ideal but if the perfect case is a touch more i can probably stretch for it. Cheers guys, have a nice day

Cheers, yeah I have a little switch under my desk I can use to disconnect the secondary monitor when in games, I normally only use two when working from home for whatever reason, or maybe when streaming (which I haven't done for a long time). Thanks for the heads up though, much appreciated!

Hey guys, Bought myself a new monitor over the weekend. Picked up an Acer XV272UP, which seems to tick all the boxes (1440p, 144Hz, IPS, GSync compatible, good colour accuracy etc). Although it's a step down in terms of resolution from 4K, I immediately noticed the smoothness just at the desktop moving the cursor around last night, and I can't wait to get home from work and play some Rainbow Six Siege. Whilst I'm travelling to work though, I thought I'd ask the community, and those of it who already have high refresh rate/GSync/Freesync monitors, what should I do to get the most out of it, and also to properly bask in its glory? Thanks in advance to everyone who replies and have a nice day ? EDIT: Forgot to mention, I have GSync compatible mode enabled now after a little digging around getting the right monitor driver and enabling Freesync in the menus (thanks to the posts on this and other forums for helping with that!)

What's the rate for shipping to the UK @CPotter? May have to partake in this deal

If we're talking screws in the rad or a fan you should be ok, but if it's the screws on the CPU block, I wouldn't chance it

Yeah, after the shambles last night I'm not holding out much hope. But if Moore can make some good moves in the transfer market this summer (offloading Can and buying a couple of young holding midfielders for depth would be a good start), then who knows what will happen.

Peter Moore, currently the head of EA Games ESports division, will be leaving the company this summer to join Liverpool Football Club as CEO. The news broke last night after Liverpools 3-1 loss to Leicester City. He will replace long standing CEO Ian Ayre. As a fan of Liverpool Football Club myself, Peter has not only realised his own dream of working for his beloved team, in his hometown, but also mine and many of my fellow fans dreams too. I sincerely hope he does a terrific job at LFC. From a gaming perspective, EA have recently been stepping up their ESports presence, with more competitive modes added in this year's releases of FIFA and Madden than any previous years.

Hey Guys, So the plexi window on my Define S Windowed Edition is starting to show its age with microscratches and just not looking as clear as it used too. I'm thinking about replacing the plexi with a sheet of glass. I was wondering whether anyone else had done the same, and knows of the best cheap and easy way (i.e. not drilling through the glass) to stick the glass to the side panel? Thanks, Chris Gurrell
