Without trying a bunch of things, as in actually typing/gaming with them mounted in an actual keyboard, you won't be able to easily tell what kind of switches you like the best. For gaming/typing linear red switches are a good place to start.

Clears are the same as reds but with much lighter springs, I wouldn't recommend them for the average person unless you know you have a super light typing style. Many people would find them annoying due to accidental actuation just by the weight of your fingers. Typical reds are pretty light as it is.

So I'm thinking the Akko is getting good reviews and maybe the brown switches as a middle ground between clicking and linear. I'm never going to be competitively gaming and they, on paper at least, seem a nice balance.

Also If you are not a confident touch typist, linear switches aren't ideal as you get no feedback for when the switch actuates. Some tactility can help there, but if you really want good tactility for typing or something then you have to start looking at Kailh Box switches, expensive Zealios, or really expensive Topre boards.

Oh hello sexy.

I have spent a ridiculous amount of money on two very nice mechanical keyboards.  First I got the K-Type, which is tenkeyless and that has Kailh speed gold switches.  They've got a ridiculously high activation point and are super loud.  It's all white and I currently have it scrolling a classy miami vice colour theme.

Then I picked up my favourite board, the Nightfox 65% with Halo True switches that were designed for it.  These are really nice to type on for me, they're quite light in the initial activation with a medium click and then get heavy quickly.  Once I got used to them I started noticing I don't bottom out the switch half as much as I do on a normal or the K-Type.

Nice. Love my curved monitor.

Oh man, 144hz is niiiice!

It's already startling just navigating windows. I'm glad I opted for this over the 4k 60hz monitors now. Plus the display is gorgeous to look at. Image I shared really doesn't do it justice.

1440 144 ya scrub

Also with Freesync you shouldn't need to use vsync again in most games. You should check what the rated range is for yours, mine is like 40-144 FPS for it to work. You need to limit the framerate to not go over 165Hz or you'll get minor tearing, if the game doesn't have a built in limiter in the settings then you can use Rivatuner which is very simple to use.

Disabling Vsync and running the game in fullscreen mode should give you optimal input latency and smoothness, also if you can enable ultra low latency mode in the graphics card driver settings panel, if yours supports it.

But does it have a Scart plug? My tv does

That is baaddd.
Never turn your fans of in a pc.

To be clear... Then can't spell. Lol.

So yeah the issue was I had the laptop in its little knook for when we plug it into TV....



Mostly we're streaming vid and it's sitting on the external fan and it's fine.

But yesterday I was actually playing ghost of a tale, which is surprisingly labor intensive I think, and the externals weren't on, and the house was hot anyway.

Will leave it out of there when I can from now on for gaming. Might also drill some holes in the back of the cabinet.

This is very cool tech, seemingly simple too, I've never like liquid coolers for their additional pumps and other things that will go wrong eventually. Previous testing on a prototype of that has it beating 360mm radiator water coolers.

My Game Pass doesn't seem to communicate from PC to Xbox as I've had the same issue trying to download games across platforms.
