Hi everyone, wanted some opinions about a keyboard.There's a friend of mine that asked me if I wanted this keyboard for 80€.I'd use it mainly for gaming also I tested it, doesn't have scratches and also seems pretty confortable in the short run.Didn't test it out for more than 40minutes.What do you think?

Just wondering how long you think it will be, i think it will probably be done by the first quarter of 2014. I'd love to hear your opinions - Dom.

So currently I have a 2600K and was wondering should I upgrade to Haswell? I will be getting a 780Ti in the not too distant future. So will having Sandybridge make much of a performance hit versus Haswell? If I don't go to Haswell I can use the money to watercool atleast one of my components. eg. CPU or GPU.. So Haswell + air cool or stay with Sandy and watercool?

These are my personal opinion of the these 2 Razer Products and i know that there are probably Dozens of reviews of these 2 products on here but i didn't want to thread jack so here's mine Razer Black Widow 2013 Okay so this was my very first mechanical keyboard and some of you may be wondering why i went with the razer because i know someone may say " Razer sucks you should have gotten the Logitech G710+" and well i went with this because i went to best buy and they had a display of both keyboards the G710+ and the Black Widow and so i typed on both for about 5 mins each trying to get a feel between the brown switches versus the blues. When i was typing on the G710+ i felt like something was off it felt worse to type on IMO then my membrane keyboard i had at home which was a Ideazon Zboard. So i moved over to the Black Widow and typing flet perfect i love the click and the bump they felt right for me and every time i went to best buy before making a decision on which to get (Note: i got both of these as a Christmas present from my parents but they knew i needed a keyboard because the one i was using is my moms and she didn't have her PC setup yet) i tried both over and over again and i couldn't bring myself to enjoy typing on the Cherry MX browns they didn't work for me and so i told my parents this is the keyboard i want and they okay we'll think about it. And now that i've owned the keyboard for a few months i can officially say i love this keyboard and my friends who have used it agree that's amazing to type on and even my dad likes it and i've read all the tales that they break easy and are cheaply made and have shit qualiy control and i can say so far the only thing that's bad about it is i have really sweaty hands and the matte finish doesn't hide the sweat that well and it gets greasy when i'm eating at my PC (yes i know that's my fault but whatever) and that i don't have a use for the usb port on the side or mic port i do use the headphone port because i have a short headphone wires. but besides that i've only had problems with the razer software causing the drivers to crash a few times when i'm not doing any thing important so it was more of a oh that happened thing. Final conclusion i love this thing my typing has definitely improved my spelling not so much and it's a dream to type on for me at least so i would recommend this product whoever take my words with a grain of salt because i'm no one important but at least consider this product if you are looking however i have no experience with the 2014 edition so i can't recommend that. Razer Naga 2014 This is probably the best MMO mouse admittedly i don't play any MMOs unless you consider the dayz standalone a MMO but for me it makes things so much easier in FPS games with switching weapons and i rebound the 12 key to be my PTT key in TS so all i have to do is slightly roll my thumb and i can talk. and the buttons do come in very handy when i get bored and price out how much things will cost together that are on separate websites and they also taught me to stop death gripping my mouse However for my hand the mouse is slightly too small because i like to palm and my hand tends to sweat a lot and because of that i have worn down the textured finish making it slightly slippery however it's not too bad so to me that's one thing that should be improved for the next one not that they care what i say but still may just be me and my extremely sweaty hands. I do have more complaints about this mouse than the keyboard but it's probably jut me and when my friends use it they are scared by the extra buttons and suddenly forget how to use a mouse it's kinda funny so it gets bonus points for watching my friends stare at my mouse as if it can talk. My final conclusion for the mouse is that the finsh on it could be much better and more durable and could have a piece of rubber like they have for the pinky just in front of the number pad for a place to grip it and maybe make the mouse bigger but i would still recommend to someone with small and less sweaty hands but besides that it is quite convenient and decent

I am in the market for a new mouse pad and would like to know how the Steelseries Qck and the Logitech G240 compare. I have been looking at both of these mouse pads for a while and know all the things to know about them, but I have yet to be able to do one key thing: try them out myself. This is where you come in. Please leave your opinion on BOTH mouse pads. Please include points like the feel of the mouse pad, what mouse/mice you used, compatibility rating, overall opinion, etc. Thanks for your input!

Cousin is buying the parts (I'm building). Need Opinions! I threw this together to keep in his price range. Keep in mind, the reason why it's so much for a first build is because he will need a few peripherals. Originally ~$730 USD.

Hello, So I do not have a job of any kind and really want to build my own gaming PC but don't have the cash. I really love working with PC's and decided to setup a home business, building custom PC's for Gamers, YouTubers, Twitch streamers, Home and small businesses and the general community. My business name is InfiniTech_ no reason for the name i just liked it. The main reason i am posting here is Because i just designed a logo but I am not sure of it needs changing in any way so I am asking you guys. There are all of the files i made as well Also if you pm me asking for the original files emailed i will

Hey LTT, Im in the market for a new laptop and I've seen that linus has a dell XPS 12, This has already popped up on my radar with its quite good reviews and being a well regarded convertible. One thing I'm really looking forward to is being able to swap out the mSATA SSD. Im a real storage beast on my laptops since i use them for work and I've already filled up the 500gb SSD in my current laptop. Im thinking of putting a 1TB samsung mSATA in it. Basically, all I'm wondering is, is there any feedback from actual long term users?

What do you guys think of J-POP music (Included Vocaloids) , since we seem to have a large anime community I think the responses will vary. Personally, I like it. Firstly because I am learning the language and while songs sometimes aren't the best way to learn, it makes me happy when I can understand what's being said. Secondly, some of it's just so different from most western music I hear and the themes covered seem wide and varied. I'd like to hear you're opinions. (I would like to apologise if the poll doesn't appear, I must have messed up something.)

I have asked this on other forums and I only found one person who said they used this option. (bummer) But I don't believe I asked here. So does anyone have any personal experiences with this and used it thourgh the U.S STORE ONLY or is it really so bad that I should just build it when I don't really have the right space in my current house to do it. (its dry and staticy and I have all carpets in almost every room). Sucks. EDIT: This doesn't have to be strictly personal. if you know a real person who used it could you mention it.

Hey, Soooo I'm looking at building a new pc and I was wondering what peoples thoughts are on the topic? Obviously I want it to be a smaller build:p I'm just not to sure if its worth giving up those expansion slots for a smaller case, I don't plan to use them but the I do like options:P Or alternatively if you guys know any crazy small mATX cases please link/post/name them, Cheers:) P.S Money isn't an issue with the case:P

I would like to know which pair of headphones would be better for gaming and listening to electronic music. I will be using an amp/DAC combo to drive the headphones as well.

This is my first post in this forums. I'm making a gaming PC. Here is the list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/LNb2Q7 How is it? What do you think about it? How much FPS should I expect from 1080p? I came here because I'm a big fan of Linus and I thought that, since Linus is the best tech guy in the world, his forums must be great !!!! Any comments appreciated. Thanks.

Budget (including currency): $4,500 - $5,000 USD Country: US Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Streaming any game at highest settings https://pcpartpicker.com/user/jordandwb/saved/cxGt3C Other details My fiance and I are selling our house and have decided to treat ourselves with high end rigs. I was an affiliate streamer on Twitch for a short time and then our home renovations began and I took a break from PCs for a while. It's time to start again. The higher end of my budget can be exceeded as long as the performance is worth it. I'm hoping this budget will include the monitors as well. I'd like to run an ultrawide with a 27-32" above it using a vertical mount. I have not decided which monitors will be best yet so I need help with those for sure. I'm also looking for opinions on 2K gaming vs 4K gaming. I know I will have to fork over more on the budget with monitors if I decide on 4K. I'm pretty set on high refresh rate 2K at this point but can be convinced if it's worth going for 4K. Lastly, but still very important, the GPU has not been decided yet. I'm currentlt stuck between 3090 and 6900XT. The decision financially will not matter as much hopefully in a few months when I buy this system but I'm leaning towards 3090 even if it's a few hundred more. Hopefully in a few months I will actually have this decision to make. *NOTE: I WILL HOPEFULLY BE PURCHASING MOST OF THESE PARTS AT A MICROCENTER LOCATED AN HOUR FROM ME. I PREFER BRICK AND MORTAR OVER ONLINE PURCHASING WHEN IT COMES TO PC PARTS.

Hey everyone, Has anyone had any experience using the Corsair Crystal series 460x rgb case, im looking at it for my next PC build (Micro ATX system) and was just wondering what its cable management is like and building experience. Its such a beautiful case and would really like to use it. The other case i was looking at is the H440 by NZXT. https://allneeds.com.au/catalog/product/view/id/5655/s/corsair-crystal-series-460x-rgb-compact-atx-mid-tower-case/ https://allneeds.com.au/nzxt-h440-mid-tower-case-black-red-2015-edition-5421 thanks guys!

Hi guys, i am considering buying a new pc and this is what i came up with https://pcpartpicker.com/user/IcEVeX/saved/bxq7WZThe video card might be 1070,still not sure about that. The pc will be 90% for gaming latest titles on 1080 p max settings. And i plan to overclock it. Any opinions or something to change?

So I've just created my first Part List here: Future PC Build and I need some opinions of it, mainly using it for gaming. If there's anything shocking that makes you want to rescue the poor components, let me know. First time doesn't always go right... at all. Also if I'm being an idiot buying stuff I need/don't need, just shout at me. Cheers.

Hey there everyone! I'm building my first PC this winter for Christmas. I have decent knowledge on components, etc. I just need some opinions! Here is my part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/DqXpFT And yes, I know, I'm using a Bronze PSU. I get it. Thank you for any responses I get!

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/DrVdvK There's the list! I'm just looking for some opinions on the Gaming PC I'm going to be building this Christmas. Will everything fit in the case? I'd imagine so. Not looking to change my whole build, I'm just looking for opinions! Thanks a bunch! (My Budget is around where I'm at. Can't go much more..)

Hi guys, has anyone had experiences with monsoon fittings? I'm looking at them for my watercooling endevour towards the end of this year. What I know so far: They are sexy as fuck They are cheaper than bitspower fittings (which were another of my preferred options) They allow you to check how close the hose is to the base of the fitting (how secure the link is and if it's likely to leak) What're your thoughts? bchampion96

Hello lovely forum go-ers, recently I, and I'm sure plenty of you out there that have an Android phone have been forced to switch from the stock music interface to the new Google Play Music app. I for one am not to excited about this switch. I find that the new menus and options are fine and basically what they were before. I do however loath the fact that they removed the fetaure to change your ringtone to whatever song you have on your phone from your phone. The only way to actually change the ringtone to a non-preloaded ringtone is to drop the file into the "ringtones" folder while the phone is connected to your computer. I just really don't like that I have to use this app when the other one was completely fine, especially since I never buy any music on my phone, and usually do all of my music importing from my PC. I do however like the overall smoothness of the app, maybe if I had the ability to customize it a bit more and maybe change the colors to something other than the orange theme. So what does everyone else think? Do they like the new way they are forced to listen to music on their phone?

So as some of you may know, EVGA has a step up program where you can trade up if you bought it within 90 days. I was wondering if in your guy's opinion if it is worth it to go from this to this. I only have to pay shipping.
