I want a keyboard with cherry MX red or equivalent switches and good RGB customisation and I only have a budget of around 60gbp anyone know anything good?
"good rgb customization" is basically limited to gaming keyboards at that price range
AKA keyboards by gaming brands
and there isn't really a good gaming keyboard
they all kind suck
My current keyboard has decent RGB customisation but it has blue switches
And what's your current keyboard?
It's a red dragon one, can't remember the model but they're all very similar
do you know what form factor youre looking for ?
75% is really too popular in budget keyboards
Well a 60GBP 75% doesn't exist
And if by RGB customization you mean like software
than ur basically out of luck besides gaming branded keyboards
Mainly just being able have different solid colors or rainbow, not just one color per key like the really cheap ones
o pretty much any mechanical keyboard more than 30usd offers that
Yeah just get a keychron c1
it's 55$ for gateron reds and RGB
wait
there are gateron cap browns and cap blues

Just looked it up it looks pretty good
I found my exact current keyboard
Oh no links in here nvm
I still think it'd be an upgrade though because I've heard red switches are so much better
Basics it has better switches
than ur red dragon
and there are also some things that are nice like lubed stabs
but basically that just means it soudns better
and feels better
Are red switches quieter as well?
Good
Blues always make me think I'm gonna wake someone up
Keychron don't have the UK layout unfortunately
Well I don't know any keyboards with ISO
So if you're looking for that than you're on your own
I mean I don't mind too much but this keyboard also has no UK shipping I don't think
literally, the only one for sale on the entire freaking internet
a thousand dollars
ten dollar shipping as well
Sad
shipping cost is the real dealbreaker here
maybe if wideus shares some of that sponsor money
anyone happen to know if there are good external optical drives that have a built in sd card reader?
finally crp is in michigan its so close
damn lol
ooo
Someone should make an external number row, functions row, nav and arrow key custer for 40% people
thanks nachos
are the seinheiser hd 400s good headphones?
afaik, sennheiser closed backs are no where near as good as their open backs
Should I?
IKR, like I want too
you might wanna save ur money bc gmk mizu is dropping again sometime this eyar
year*
I have the mizu
Oh you mean the Mizu keycaps
yay i cant wait to see mizu run for the 6th time in 2 years
i need this
The d45 is the only 40 percent I would get
Ever since I switched to a HDR monitor I have been having problems with various programs running with desaturated color. Web browsers, Adobe programs, and game stores like Epic and Steam are what I've noticed so far. Any ideas related to fixing this?
because of reasons and stuff
I have ended up ordering the topping e30, I'll get back to you on if it matters
You need to turn on hdr mode in windows as well
Or else the monitor will be trying to display srgb content on an hdr display and itll look washed out as a result
Yikes lol
anybody know anything about storage?
Looking for a new keyboard. I hear mechanical ones have a good following. I'm retiring a Logitech G15 (2005) after many years of faithful service. Anyone have recommendations on a good upgrade path? Preferably with as little clicky clicky as possible, backlit, and full keyboard since I need the built-in in numpad
Lol I work for a college and I'm constantly entering course registration numbers. Cannot be helped. I suppose a board with a pass through and side numpad would work too.
fair if u do data entry
I'll check into keychron though! Thanks for the direction!!
im just low sens boomer shooter queen
get a hotswap from them
you know what the switch colors mean?
brown = probs what ur looking for
blue = clicc clacc
red = absolute garbage and anyone who says differently deserves to be on a cross
I'm starting to. From what I've read on some pages like razer the orange and yellow as not as loud as green. Then everyone in the rainbow has their company published brand.
dont buy from any gamer brands
gamer brands = overpriced subpar stuff
ESPECIALLY razer
leopold have some nice 1800 boards which are have a numpad
also those
youre just probs looking for brown switches
imo those are the second best to type on
well third best
but yea

... don't tease us. Release number two and number one. Even if they aren't for me!
oh i just like box jades and box pinks
and blues
imo tactiles are the best all around switches
actually i should probs switch off my jades for now
roommates sleeping
linears are nice to type on if theyre not reds lmao
have u used a jwk linear
So keychron and Leopold. Great place for me to start. Brown switch likely. I'm a degenerate. I'm loving the vibe here. Should pop in more often!
wat tactiles have u tried
this hobby is preference but ur preference sucks @stoic solar
no u
if browns are the only tactiles youve tried then you barely hve tried tactile lol
ive used more tactile switches telling them to go based on whats a stock option on a lot of boards
generally broken into reds, blues, browns
ic
imagine liking tactiles cant relate
i got new music game
is fun
its like one of those shootey games but it uses your song collection
i threw some flacs into its little level generator and its nice :))
That fixes it, but what if I don't want HDR? Games that don't support it look even worse.
go for it i got nothing to do
besides my 3page covid essay
that i dont wanna do
its one of those games that is annoying asf to screenshare lol
you have to turn it off again lol
That's going to get annoying...
yeah
i just gave up on hdr man
i have the ability for it too
i don't use it anymore
Any chance this has something to do with my monitor supporting DCI-P3?
doubt it, but i can't be sure lol
should just mean it can cover more gamut than srgb
The reason I stopped using HDR is because I can't change the RGB values, so it ends up looking very green.
You should be able to get it to work right with the right yuv profile I thought
Idk
kuzu did ur amp come in yet
guys what mid-range mouse is the best overall for fps
depends a ton on grip and hand size
do u know ur grip type
what is it?
@cosmic chasm how to identify mouse grip is pinned
unless you hav huge hands
viper mini is like one of the best option overall
and most def best at its price
unless you want a wireless option
You don't always have to use an app
but i need it for updating firmware
you only need synapse for changing dpi
razer has trash software so you have to install firmware updates thru a dif method
how
i only need drivers
qck is a nice all around good mousepad
but i dont know too much about mousepads
theres fast, slow etc mousepads
no rgb fast
Gmmk pro came
lol
@timber ridge wait, what the hell is the layout on the ikki68
For a second, I thought it was tkl, then I thought it was 65%, then my brain figured out there are keys missing
68key
not too big of a fan of the new color ways
Iβm so confused
about what
yes
What budget
100 bucks
gonna assume you want prebuilt
max
Do you know what switches you like
thats literally just normal 65 with a numrow blocker
cherry mx red maybe
Do you know what layout you like
tsk tsk
@tight pulsar it's missing home and end, and that 2x2 cluster of keys really REALLY bothers me
Also, you sure you want reds? browns usually liked for typing and all, but if you know how reds feel and like em, reds are fine
Corsair go into trash bin
yeah but its literally just a normal 65 layout
oo nice k4 hotswap with reds is on amazon
I think v2 too
K4 because c2 hotswap is out of stock again
wait
c2 hotswap with browns is in stock, but no reds
rbg with all print screen etc
ooo apparently a hangul version of kuro shiro is dropping soon
i dont like that layouts
@cosmic chasm C2 hotswap direct from keychron, but only browns in stock atm
https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-c2-wired-mechanical-keyboard?variant=32312457625689
Keychron C2 Mechanical Keyboard. Full-size 104-keys Layout. Connects via wired type-c cable and users can hot swap every switch in seconds with the hot-swappable version. Compatible with Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, Linux. Gateron Switches. 15+ RGB Backlight
its looks like laptops
I love gat browns, but if you really want reds, might be able to find a different keeb
no whatever is best for gaming im ok with that red brown whatever
I love using browns so
It's mostly personal preference
The keyboard is hotswap anyways, if you don't like one switch, buy some new ones and slap em in
what about roccat
i want something like this but 100 usd https://www.razer.com/gaming-keyboards/Razer-Huntsman-V2-Analog/RZ03-03610200-R3U1
with hand rest
& not optical
if you want something like that then just get a red dragon
what brand
red dragon
oh sorry
keychron n stuff is really good
but from reading the convo, i dont think it has what youre looking for
its lacking the gamer aesthetic
I don't like buying for aesthetic over the quality of the product :(
yea but hes better off spending the money on a red dragon than a razer keyboard or something
(even better, keychron)
not until I've used this discord have I ever even heard of keychron
only quality is important if i want to choose one
Also please don't buy a k552, for the sake of your friends having to hear your mic
Keychron C2 hotswap with browns atm
70$ before shipping, I think 20$ flat shipping directly from Keychron still?
This selection is rgb, hotswap, and browns :P
https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-c2-wired-mechanical-keyboard?variant=32312457625689
Keychron C2 Mechanical Keyboard. Full-size 104-keys Layout. Connects via wired type-c cable and users can hot swap every switch in seconds with the hot-swappable version. Compatible with Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, Linux. Gateron Switches. 15+ RGB Backlight
& hand rest?
Random full sized wrist rest from Amazon will work
I personally don't like the hard style of wrist rests (wood) that Keychron offers
its white what about all black
ick
changed my mind red switches only
WrIsTwReStS
quiet sound
:v
lol
browns are barely louder than red
blues are the really loud bois
:P
I guess c2 non-hotswap with reds from amazon, plus black keycaps, and some random wrist rests
but it has multiple colors
what
some keycaps like this will fit
https://www.amazon.com/Seiorca-Doubleshot-Mechanical-Keyboard-Puller-Black/dp/B07LDWZVSZ/
on this keeb
https://www.amazon.com/Keychron-RGB-Backlight-Red-Switch/dp/B08CNB6W1L/
and then you add your own wrist rest, whatever you want @cosmic chasm
mistel makes good quality caps but theyre not shine thru
I like it
any other brand
<100$ and full keyboard limits you a LOT
otherwise there's like gk61 and sk61 and co
or durgod for higher end
or leopard for higher end
Keychron is just a very nice mech keeb with pre-lubed stabs
π
@cosmic chasm what do you not like about it? After keycap swap it won't look like that
its black and white
Yes, that's why I linked black keycaps
its for mac
i must pay extra for keycaps
they have the K4, but you didn't like the layout :P
They don't have a completely full sized wireless keeb
they have the grey keycaps for the wireless keebs
ok how much is keycaps
The one I linked was 18$, you might be able to find it a bit cheaper, prob ~15$ for usable keycaps
its looks like a pink ferrari π
why does sanding keycaps take so long 
who knows
& best controller for ps2 & ps3 on pc
@daring zenith did you guys figure out a keeb yet?
dunno
maybe
Also, I need some mousepad suggestions, I don't like hard mousepads with no friction from what I can tell, I want a mousepad that'll give me more control, maybe cloth or something.
what about xbox controller
plain black, no branding
flattens out really nice after a day
hm, kinda big
qck
theres a slightly smaller option
from steelseries
i want medium size
thick option op lol
Hm, why thick option?
Only mousepad I had before was the mousepad with the gpw wireless charging mat lol
and that got really worn out
any suggestion for: 3080 gaming rgb best cooling max oced
What"
no one answer my question in any section
Yeah that doesn't really make sense what you said
I mean not really the best channel to ask
@cosmic chasm ask in #graphics-cards
If there are southpaw keyboards in the market, that's swell.
probably better off looking out in the aftermarket or making ur own ic for one.
I'm right-handed, but I often wonder about how left-handed folks deal with keyboard work.
some lefthanded users say theyre fine with right handed peripherals
i forgot what article it was, but they said that for some users, theyre left handed at everything except kb and mouse
bro you didn't tell me there were blue oh10s
those are prob oh1s
i wanna try some of fiio's stuff
if these i3s just plain don't work out I'm just gonna get fh3 off of amazon
fd5s are really nice
i think i already hit endgame with oh10
yes
unless i wanna search for something with more mids
big no
fh3s from what iheard are jus refined oh10
with better mids
if i ever get a serious portable setup, ima get new iems
y
lighter pair
oh10 dont feel too heavy, but if i were moving i could see them moving out of my ear maybe
itll jus be more easier to travel with
ibasso started making over-ears and I didn't even know
they made planars

who do I even complain to at this point, if it left a partner facility but didn't arrive at usps yet
does that mean it got lost in shipping? Do I complain to the seller or alibaba?
For how long?
idk tbh
When did it depart partner facility?
it'll stay that way for a few days or over the weekend
the 5th
THE FIFTH

I mean the shipping says 20-40 days and it hasn't been 40 days yet but if it left the facility almost two entire weeks ago could I consider that lost in transit?
the deal was too good to be true lmao
Im looking for a good budget 60% keyboard
most of everything on amazon is from brands ive never heard of, so I just want to be sure I dont buy somthing dumb
Budget is preferably less than $70
apparently with ali I can't open a dispute till friggin APRIL
rk61
Thanks!
Can anyone give me a suggestion for a keyboard for $35
There aren't going to be any special keyboards at that price
just get like an amazon basics membrane keyboard or something
thanks for the new pfp
Yeah no keyboards at that price
Ok can u find a 60% for $50
Only thing that would be worth at that price would be an RK61
Pretty sure I found my Cynosa for $40 at BB
Except a cynosa isn't exactally good
So does a 10$ amazon keyboard
what about the cynosa isnt good?
fairs lol
It's an expensive low build quality membrane keyboard
ah right
You canβt even swap the caps
Well
Theoretically I guess you could
But no yeah donβt get a cynosa
Just like leyo said itβs just another crappy overpriced membrane keyboard
im looking for cherry profile PBT double-shot keycaps that can let rgb backlight through, any recommendations?
ideally black
u mind seeing the HyperX Pudding Keycaps?
cherry profile backlight keycaps don't really exist i'm pretty sure
that's great for rainbow needs
POM Jelly
If you can get them
oop what about oem profile?
lol it rly looks like jellies
Yeah I mean there are tons of OEM doubleshot PBT options
don't really think there is one that really s tands out to the point that you need to get them
mostly on the budget side i see OEM PBT idk bout artisan ones
can look on the design but ugh the price
oof yeah no the price on artisan ones hurt lol
im trying to replace the abs keycap set i have on the keychron k4 v2
lol what why would you buy artisans
you love to see it https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=111349.0
Would you purchase this keycap set (GMK)
artisans are nice but impossible to get 
^^^^
id love to own gaf stuff but yeah not happening soon
oh?
the shift yea thought u can just get one from a full ones lol
yea the cheap pbt ones with basically no other size
keycaps for full-size keybs? no, can't change some keys.
yea those regular layouts won't give u some and idk much about black, RGB-friendly, keycaps with different cap sizes in package
ahh, so worst case scenario i'd have to scout out some specific keycaps bc of the weird sizes?
not rly
or would it be a better idea to just stick with the abs ones that come w/
hyperx pudding keycaps u want the looks? it's great for rainbows
tho with those u might just need to leave some of the stock keycaps (i hope it's black too)
but that's all i can help, if u want more u can prob ask on the oters that knows way better than me
that's alright, i appreciate the help regardless!
all you needa do is find a full keycap set with a 1.75u right shift
ah, sweet! do you happen to know any? I'm searching rn
wait actually
i thought the k4 was the 84key version
finding a kit with a 1u 0 might be kinda hard
worst case scenario is you replace it with another random 1u key
its usually 2u im p sure
if youre gonna go deep into mechanical keyboards
your keyboard is the perfect excuse to buy novelty keys for
so with mainstream keycap drops, they have novelty keys which are jus like designs on them
to match the theme
you can use those keys to replace the keys youre missing
ah okay
so for the most part i should be good, just need to find a set with a 1.75u right shift?
for the most part, but youll prob be missing a 1u zero key
and your pg up, del etc keys wont be the right profile in most cases
youll hve them, but they wont be the right profile
ye
cheap 96% kits are hard to come by
does anyone know any good 60% keyboard around the 50-70$ mark
with gateron reds
you could try and find a YMDK kit but that's all I could thing of
Keychron k6
k6
he said 60%
ok
do know any good mouse around $50-60
that depends on your grip type
depends ur hand size and grip type
and hand size
wow
is viper mini good
viper mini is good if you use fingertip grip and dont have huge hands
Hahaha i palm gripped a g305
model d minus
ok thx
qc is questionable
people in the NZXT server got mad at me for comparing the gmmk pro with custom keyboards
coolermaster is releasing a wireless ergo mouse soon
because its "not a real custom keyboard"
theyre plate mount right
what is
goat stab
thx guys 4 the help
np
but i feel liek they are gonna be kinda trash
im tempted to cancel my pre order
or they're just gonna be like a durock clone
people when glorious clones their 3000th product
the silver color really is not epic
lol can you cancel it?
yea
also aliexpress person shipping me another space, enter, and backspace key
because of slight warping
might pick up an id80 and the ikki68 xd
you see
I can't impulse buy stuff
since im broke

ill be on that keyboard grind tho
ikki68 is tempting
but i kinda want a white keeb ngl
if kbd67 ever restocks ill pick up another one
i doubt im gonna get anything purely on looks for the forseeable future
probs just gonna try like more mounting styles and plates
are there other keyboards that are 60% thats not the k6
refer to the pinned messages
if you have any questions after, just ask
where is that
the pin logo to the right of "# peripherals"
scroll down
optical switches
whats the difference between them and normall gateron
basically uses um ig lasers instead of copper leafs to make actuation/contact
so if i want more options get normal
yes
gk61 has northfacing leds right ?
yes
anyother websites for keycaps
kbdfans?
for a beginner should i get hot swap
keychron is a better starter option
i just mentioned the ones that's just purely case+pcb ones
unless there's something like that from keychron themselves tho
idk, haven't had any mkb so.....
just looking through what i see in yt and mkb reddit
keychron,idobao and gk prob the best stuff you can get readily available
headpohones recomendations????????????????????
Budget?
are those to game with??
yes????
I game with my AKG371's
No such thing as βgaming headphonesβ
If you're thinking surround sound headphones, it's all garbage. I tried some
tbh bruh i dont even know if i enable surround sound on my arctic 7s
arctic 7s are decent, right?
dont make fun of me please
spare me
budget unlimted so i can get senniser. whut is amp recommended meaning?
ok its very cheap so i can buy it
so plugin to usb and theres 2 holes on the front????
oh, well, if that's cheap, get a McIntosh then
i have alien were
Get a McIntosh instead of a Zen Dac
But doesnβt really matter
dude i have alien were way better than a mac
But Alienware sucks
He also said that he would get the sennheiserβs because budget is unlimited
Right so pair those with a McIntosh for the best experience
MC275
2-Channel Vacuum Tube Amplifier
i did a amazon link earlier
it looks big??? was wanted to just wear the headpohnes on my head and not worry about space?
π
Also since your budget is so high
Why not get a Meze Audio Empyrean instead of Sennheisers
Or something like that
just get HE-1 ez
the vacum amp is really expensive compared to gaming headphones i was looking at. i guess my budget isnt unlimted
Heh
done
Gotta be careful with your words
BUt really, what do you want?
βUnlimitedβ means the best over the rest
I really want to hear that
Even in games it's honestly great
Donβt AMPs have problems in discord?
Seriously though, if you've got $250 to spend, the Sennheisers and the Zen Dac are pretty cool but they don't have a mic
For a mic you'd have to get an Antlion ModMic or something
Imagine needing a mic
This post was made by the mute gang
simple to setup and use
i have a snowball can i still use it with the senhiser?
OH yeah
oh, i guess if you already got a mic
then nvm
well, the schiit dacs are still pretty good
hel is good for gaming?
well, most desktop dacs are good enough for gaming
βGood enoughβ
ok i'll get hel and senhiser
its sennheiser
and thats the brand
there are tons of different headphones by them
if you want to use the snowball mic, the HD 560s are very poggers
if you want to ditch the standalone mic, the pc38x are good
the beyerdynamic DT 990 pros are really nice too
super comfortable
also has a really nice cable that doesnt get stuck on things
thank you

I mean why are you getting such nice headphones
games and immersion
becuaes the fortnitesa
its best from the chart
Thatβs why he is here, Leyo
This is where people come to learn
i thought i heard that theres like no point to invest unless youre actually into ausiophile stuff
but apparently wanting to game is a good reason to spend hundreds of dollars on audiophile equiptment

I mean, $250 worth of gear sure makes my ears happy and they're kinda picky for both games and music
Fallout too
And Celeste
I love Celesteβs soundtrack
And NMS
I could go into an hours-long deep dive into why the music of Halo is so amazing but I wonβt because I donβt have hours lol
Iβm sorry but like
Just make the recommendation based on what he says
Mention that itβs overspending and stuff but
Idk
i feel like this is like recommending a keycult to someone just because they got alot to spend
its not alot for me. i expectiedto pay a lot more for high sound quality
man is willing to spend hundreds on headphones and says its not alot
I threw a McIntosh at them, that was too much XD
my computer was alot more. moniter was almost one thousand. so it would make sense to pay more for hadphones too??
What monitor do you have?
Ofc
man is jeff bezos
mans monitor is more than my pc lol
or has really rich parents
Alienware is the last company you should fanboy for lol
or just has nothing better to spend money on
invest it into the crunnky donation charity
i know. i saw on linus tech tips
3600 and 2080 super
thats unfortunate
With a $1000 monitor
if you like sub bass and bass extension skip the 6xx
he probs doesnt know what that means
π
Hey soda
whats it mean
is peripherals the only channel that seems to never be dead lol?
Yes
no
6xx are very mid centric
hello
because peripheral chat has regulars
lacking in both sub bass and bass extension
and people that are like always here
^
id rather get clear top abs or just pom
pom op
pom sounds nice
Just to confirm, you did not win your setup from a giveaway of any sort?
no
:hol up

damn i would never expect those two combo'd but ok
im sure it works.
thats a bangin combo
nice pfp?
3600 can run a 3080, but a slight bottleneck
it is 3600x actualy
3600x*/3600
bro whats ur job
3600 single core perf good for any game
looks at cyberpunk
Alienware prebuilt
3600 would run cyberpunk just fine...
dose very good at solitaire XD
wuuuu, are you joking or is this serious
LOL
What do they need is what im trying to figure out
Always Dread and Bigga
bruh
and they say peripheral chat is bad
budget?
Nah, they all came down here cuz Mike is on lol
no Cus no one is talking in general
someone tried starting a petition to remove this channel apparently
Tried it with one and a 3070, all the cores were maxed out the whole time on medium settings with the GPU actually slightly pulling back
That's just rude
and me no want to be talking to myself
Always thought #peripherals-and-displays as the cool kids lol
guess Iβll do that
y'all have some pretty keycap designs
probs me
I would never be able to think of lol
and they call ppl in here rabid dogs
and what fps were you getting?
i already got the help thank you all
yeah wouldn't the gpu be bottlenecking the 3600
if you were referring to the list, there is no "best" headphone on the flowchart
3600 + 3080 is something you get for a 4k60 gaming experience
The 3700x and 3070 run quite well, but even a 5600x will "Bottleneck" a 3070.
i don't think Fallen got banned TBH
fallen is still here
im p sure hes still here
fallen got banned??
you may be blocked lmao
Ye
fallen is still here
Around 70
sounds fiiiiine to me 
I'd expect mando to
idk what we did in this chat

well maybe all his messages got deleted
but we have a bad rep
nothing mando says should be taken seriously outside of mining
It's the UR40 person
Mando is honestly really annoying
okay that makes sense
he follows me into the nzxt server just to try to annoy me
i can't take him seriously
I noticed
I hate "bottlenecks" lol
kuzu is almost there
FPS was still fine but there was a bit of a bottleneck
Just noting that
he got the maliciously misinformed role in a server before getting the hammer lmao
bottleneck most annoying term of the pc era
mando goes out of his way to try and annoy me
I don't think you can get 0% bottleneck
This
and its concerning
mando is riding a line
i hate the word bottleneck
a lotta ppl do that to u i noticed
Fair
no like
everytime i see it i wanna die
Someone asked me does the 3700x and your 3070 bottleneck
to a much larger scale
i had a 3070 and 3700x
bottleneck is meaningless
^
at 1440p it was perfect imo
like theres the occasional people who are like "haha funny bad keyboard leyo look"
no
Bottleneck should be removed as a word
LOL
you dont get it
leo, why do so many ppl hate you ?
If it's harassment we can fix that
so many ppl try to purposely trigger leo
At this point, i'd think someone would pair them for "Chrome"
Lol
then there's him following me into other servers then trying to get people to send messages for him
I can find Leyo annoying sometimes, but I just let him chill
It was 2k
folding at home, maybe
Everyone is annoying at some point
