Any PC Builders Out There?

For the past 8 years or so I've had a Logitech Keyboard, the G915 Clicky before, then the G915X Tactile, but I just could not type well on the tactile 915X and noticed a ton of delay with turning down the volume with the wheel. I decided to jump on the bandwagon and try this keyboard I kept seeing all over the internet.

Keychron Q6 MAX with some cheap keycaps, holy smokes my typing has improved back to what it was and the keys are not nearly as loud as the old Clicky Logitech G915 I liked before.



Anyone have any suggestions for a new massive XXL sized desk/mouse pad? This old APOLLO one is not holding up anymore.

 

I love the LTT mouse pads. They have them in a ton of sizes so you can basically custom fit them to your space. I'm not sure if they're shipping to the US right now though, hopefully again soon.

 

I have three keychrons, great keyboards. One at work, one at home, and one that was cheap and way too loud but a great deal in a drawer at work I use a q3 at work and q1 at home, aluminum case, all foamed up, and will probably get a q6 if I ever catch it on a great sale to replace it at work. I need a 10 key more than i realized when i bought the keyboard haha

 

The 10 key is requirement for me, I can't imagine not having it. I do a lot of work in excel, and databases, and lots of math on the calculator and I kept putting it off because the Logitech was so expensive but I'm happy to have spent the money.

Now to find someone who wants a good lightly used G915X.

 

Do people bother buying them?

Gave away my mint G710+ some years ago and I have a super clean G810 I've been meaning to ship out (don't have the right sized box).

 

Im just pissed/too stupid to figure out how to get my Corsair k70 media keys to work even when I'm gaming. Part of why I bought it lol. JUST LET ME PAUSE AND SKIP MY MUSIC WITHOUT TABBING OUT OF MY DAMN VIDEO GAME lol

Found this one used on FB marketplace for 20 bucks. The Aluminum base one

 

I'll find someone to buy it, there's a University here, someone will want it. After typing on this Q6 for a couple of hours, I can't imagine ever going back to that Logitech again.

 

What switches did you go with? I've been using keychron k pro banana yellows and really liking them. Tried browns and reds, too, but settled on yellows.

I bought a Epomaker EK21 macro pad/ten key hybrid thing off Amazon for $40 shortly after buying my keyboard for home and it's pretty slick. Fully VIA w/ 4 layers so I've programmed a layer just for using Davinci Resolve with hotkeys assigned to it which really speeds video work up. My biggest gripe with that though is it goes into a sleep mode and you have to press a key to turn it on, which isn't great when you mindlessly start typing in numbers.

 

I went with the banana switches, and they are fantastic.

 

I’ve always used qckpads. The xxl ones. But a buddy just recommended these to me

Also I just snagged the new huntsman razer keyboard. Big fan. Little on the loud side but decent. Also the steel series novas are a nice headset upgrade for me.

 

Razer, I remember that brand. Are they still top choice for gaming mice?

 

I use a Deathadder V2 i Think its called now? Used to have the old one V1. Been using a DeathAdder for 10 years now. simple. like the shape and weight. Good enough for the price. I'm not picky. First one crapped out in 2020 ish and got way more hours per day than this V2 I have. Cat also liked to chomp on wires when she was little so caught her a few times with that cord...


Used to have a Blackwidow tournament edition (60%) keyboard when I had smaller desk. Had brown switches. Software was less straight forward than corsair is now, but synced to mouse too which is nice. Would've gone 100% blackwidow if could've found a decent deal. I refuse to pay MSRP for going from 60% to 100% board when i dont NEED it.

 

The G502 is still the mouse the pros use most....




but that's because of that Logi $$$$.

 

my G500 was great when it was new. now the left mouse button doesn't really click when it clicks? sometimes when i click it left button, i can hear it click, but it doesn't send the signal. not a fan of the way the g502 looks, but can't find a new g500

 

All you and your fancy new keyboards. Here I am still rocking my logitech g15 lol

 

The Logi G502 wireless has been my favorite flavor so far. My only gripe with it is I accidentally hit the DPI buttons from time to time when gaming. That being said, having quick access to DPI settings is really nice. Guess its a tradeoff; having buttons on your mouse means you're going to hit them at some point unintentionally.

 

I'm using the G604, mainly for the 6 thumb buttons.

 

I hate Logitech mice, and I've used them consistently since 2000 or so up until 2020.

Had an MX go out due to double clicking, two different 502 (one was RMA) go out due to double clicking, and even a 903 go out due to double clicking.



Funny enough, the much older G500S still works perfectly fine. The others still look new but are worthless.

I've had other Logitech G mice but the models escape me right now.

Switched to Steelseries and I've had no issues whatsoever.

 

I want to say the viper is the number one wireless mouse but could be wrong.

 

So 9070XT is 5070Ti performance for less. Small downgrade at ray tracing and AI, but pretty much equal at everything else for $600 versus $900 or more for a 5070Ti. Good value.

9070 is the 5070 but with more VRAM. Value is okay but not great.
