I've had one since they came out and it still works great. The rubberish thumb rest and right side rest are almost worn smooth, but fine otherwise.

If it's brand new, have it exchanged for a new one.

I would probably say yes, its defective front case port/cable then then.

Do they have separate plugs? If so, swap them around on the motherboard and see. If not it'd be the case most likely...

Newegg has been awful this year. Increased shipping rates and higher then normal prices ya'd think they are competing with the scalpers, lol... OOS btw. The 3090 is certainly a huge waste of money for gaming.

It works like a keyboard?

Then why are you asking? Just do it if you want, sounds like your going to anyways... /thread

Many keys are made for the system they were installed on. Others are volume keys not meant for individual resell, MSDN, edu keys, sold for other countries, etc etc. Reselling them is technically illegal. Can they be used... sometimes sure, but still doesn't mean they are technically legal.

Few more days left...

I've never used an Apex 3, sorry. Just looking at it, it might be better for spills and has RGB, but that's about it.

Why the Steam links if it's on Humble Bumble? Misleading info...

I've used both without issue (still do, I have one of each here 1 upstairs and 1 downstairs system.) Only issue I ever had with a PSU not liking a UPS was that it made it buzz on battery power but it still worked. I still swapped the PSU but that was years ago... I usually hook my modem up to it as well.

May want to get an electrician to look at your place if it happens that often.

If your power is going out every two weeks, that far from rare Unexpected shut downs may do nothing... or may frag a drive so you can't boot or loos files, or damage equipment, its luck of the draw...

Some PSUs have issues without pure sinewave UPS's but its rare. As I mentioned in another post, you need to get one that covers your equipment plugged into it at load so it actually helps and just doesn't shut off on you
