The wireless G613 keyboard is $67 on google express right now. Highly recommend it. Liked mine at home so much that I got another one at work

May even get a third at this price for my living room PC

Didn't they just come out with a lightspeed keyboard?

The G613 is lightspeed.

But you're probably thinking about the $250 G915

I tried looking for a Logitech keyboard.

Just don't like them compared to duckies. I've given into their mice though.

Romer-G switches have nothing on Cherry, but I've gotten used to them. Just having no wires to worry about looks and is amazing

Just bought a TKL Ducky one 2. Gave coolermaster a shot and the stabilizers were shite. Felt like my Corsair.

The Logitech G Pro keyboard was nice but I hate the proprietary keycaps that I can't change them out.

Razer just came out with a nice keyboard that is actually nice. PBT keycaps, USB C, and a few other improvements. They got inspiration from r/mechanicalkeyboards

They are probably the same keyboard.

Just like only 2 companies make panels, same goes for peripherals. A lot of that shtt is the exact same product. Just in a different wrapping.

It's in the production though. They both use cherry parts but it's the implementation of them.

Ducky is a good bit tighter in tolerance.

Almost got a Leopold TKL. Heard they were really good. Only reason I didn't get it was because it had zero lighting. I play in the dark sometimes and like a little muted light to quickly see the keys. Wanted a white LED Leopold.

$300?



Very close, listed it for $300 and took $250 for it. After countless teenagers lowballing the crap out of me and asking if it does VR and can it play Fortnite at a billion frames a second finally found a good buyer who knows computers himself and bought it to load windows/games for his brother's birthday who is getting into pc gaming. Told him you could drop like a RX580 or RX590 in it and still make it last a few more years easily on modern titles.

Served me well

Damn I would have bought it off you for the $300 haha

My boy spaceranger has been looking for a gaming PC and that would have been a perfect starting point for him

I understand.

Doesn't mean it was off the exact same line. When one didn't meet specs it is binned here, etc. If you would open the boards up they most probably are exactly the same. Maybe not in this case but all those peripherals are nearly the same in most cases. Esp Corsair and Cooolermaster shtt. They usually don't have the design for the whole product. Partial design and then branding.

But I get what you're saying. Sort of, i'm not balls deep into keyboards anymore. Just was bringing up the point that the difference is usually isn't different on a "technical" level, if that is even the correct term. Can't find a way to describe it in text atm.

Nope but it was pretty funny when I was comparing vortex keyboards vs Leopold . Google brought me to the scopes lol.

That 4770k is still fine for a lot of games. A 580 or 590 at 1080p will last him a while

I'm over 40 now, old f**k is right.

I have it, but not sunk any time into it, so can't really say much about it.

Red Dead 2 PC gets approved classification in Australia

They denied it twice then rated it MA 15+. If it wasn't already confirmed it is now.

Oh yeah definitely, the 4770k wasnt really much of any bottleneck in that system, really the 3GB 7950 in modern more demanding titles. Also only DDR3.

I love far cry games. It is fun exploring. I've almost got FC5 100%

RDR2 not so much, yawn.

Edt: Do you enjoy GTA games UH?

I've never been into them, something about Rockstar games don't translate well for me.
