yaaay a Ratpoo (ok ... i positively love my Rapoo KX wireless mechanical keyboard ... but the rest of the brand: mixed feelings

We'll see how it goes, it has a warranty of 2 years, I can try it out for 14 days, if I don't like it I can return it and get a refund.

Then I'll buy this logitech one:

It looks like the mesh side is meant to be the top.

well i was quite surprised (and still now as i use it as my RPi3 Kodi box keyboard) with the KX and their Kaihua Kailh Yellow switches ... a wirless mech ? (not a TKL but almost a TKL ... :laugh:

)

i hope you will like it nonetheless

I got 4 of these coming. 1 is for a PS2 hard drive mod.

ide extender for PS2 mod.

This is for an all sata psu to use with 6 pin adapter for gpu. Rebuilding a nice Dell core 2 duo system for my dad.

I got 2 of these for 2.5 drives. If you have lots of drives you know how great these are.

It's all relative, remember, it's a 34" monitor, so the icons are quite easily visible and distinguishable.

oh i keep forgetting, i am coming from a 17 inch laptop

Bought this off a local guy who was selling his whole setup and got it for a steal. Loving the jump to 1440p.

A few weeks in the past I bought this:

It's a DeX gaming mouse pad from steelseries - so far it's really good, really fast and precise. Had a everglide titan for over 10 years before it, was kinda sad to find out that everglide even ceased to exist. That mouse pad was totally dead though dirty beyond imagining and it was already starting to go apart, its rubber and glue bottom somewhat "fused" with the wood table it was on for years lol. Then I had some money over and decided to buy the best mouse pad I could find for my personal taste so I got the DeX. It's some kind of fusion between a hard plastic pad and a normal pad so it's soft and ultra fast at the same time. Plus it's washable and ultra durable - so kinda exactly what I wanted. Was somewhat fast at the beginning but I quickly got used to it. what a change compared to that old everglide, wow.

My new toy

Kailh Brown keys, and it does its job well. Nice feel on the keycaps too, and I have yet to sense any difference with Cherry.

You game on that one? It looks slick, but those keys have what, 1mm travel?

I had a Logitech keyboard similar to the one P4-630 posted photos of, it worked dandy for me playing games, and typing on. I would still have it if not for a accidental liquid spill killing it.

Yeah I remember the scissor keys from my laptops, and it wasn't too bad, but a bit more travel really does help me alot for gaming. And mechanical switches.

Now I'm slightly jealous. Congrats on the new mouse/keyboard, and AIO cooler, and put it to good use.

Hadn't had an upgrade in 5 years so I figured I was overdue, would have included my EVGA 1070 SC box but for the life of me I don't know where it went....

Nice! So, you're part of the mechanical keyboard master race! :toast:

I've been outta touch with mechanical keyboard nomenclature since losing interest after buying >20 mechanical keyboards. What is MX Silent? Is that another way of saying MX Red?

While you're a corsair fan, I'm something of a HiFiMan fanboy myself, bought a number of their audio goodness a few months back, this thread didn't exist back then. Anyway, here's some of the stuff I'd gotten...

The HE1000 (the one in he middle if you dunno) is my most expensive audio purchase, I still have the HE-4 (the one on the left, traded off the one on the right (HE500) with the can below......it's a HE560 with a 3rd party 4pin Balanced XLR cable.

Last but not least, a HiFiMan HM901s (the DAP aka Digital Audio Player) with its very own docking station...

I did say I'm something of a HiFiMan fanboy, didn't I? And just to prove that I was a mechanical keyboard headcase not long ago, here's a shot of just four of the >20 I have....

Man, when I get into something, I just don't know when to stop...... :banghead:

I guess losing interest helped me wean off this mechanical keyboard phase. :rockout:

Though I did kinda dropped out of the mechanical keyboard scene, I did recently buy the Armaggeddon MKA-5R (the RGB keyboard in the pic above). It has Kailh Blue switch which I've since learned to NOT be prejudiced against (it feels quite similar to the MX Blue, though there's a slight difference in sound when the keys are bottomed out). I've roteated it out of use for now since getting that big monitor, I'm kinda short of desk real estate. That's why I'm using 60% and 75% keyboard for now....

Picked these up a day or so ago ....

I can't wait to see the look on my son's face when he get's them on his birthday. Also can't wait to build them with him, I'm probably as excited as he will be

Nice piece of kit you got there,is it going to be put out on displayed too in the house? When i was around 7-12 all i wanted was Slizers/Throwbots and Bionicles.

My recent toy collectable back in May when i went to MCM comiccon in London in the UK.

I will be looking at adding the black and gold Dragonzord to my collection hopefully in the October Convention..although i was told it was meant to go on sale at Toysrus around June time..did not see it in store or online. So hopefully bandai booth will have more in stock for me on the Sunday.
